Qin Hui slandered the court and asked Emperor Gaozong to issue an edict ordering Yue Fei to send troops to conquer Yang Yao in Dongting. Yue Fei was worrying about this matter, and Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing came into the tent to ask for a meeting. After Yue Shuai handed over the imperial edict to the two of them, Fu Tianpeng nervously told Yue Fei, Yang gangist Bo Yuntian, we will never do such unjust things.
Zhao Xueqing told Fu Tianpeng not to worry, because Yue Shuai was also in a dilemma. After the three of them sat down, they thought carefully about the solution. After a long silence, Zhao Xueqing said to Yue Fei: "I thought of a delaying strategy."
As soon as Zhao Xueqing said this, Yue Fei's eyes lit up. He quickly asked about the specific steps of the strategy.
Zhao Xueqing replied: "Commander Yue, the court asked you to encircle and suppress the Tianwang Gang. If you don't provoke them, you are resisting and disobeying the order. If you provoke them and take action against the Yang Gang, you will also hurt the harmony between them. I think it is better to feign fighting and watch. Wait until things change before planning the next step.”
After hearing Zhao Xueqing's plan, Yue Fei agreed. At the moment, he just had to take a step at a time and depend on the development of the situation before making any decisions. Therefore, Yue Fei asked Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing to secretly enter the Tianwang Gang, greet Gang Leader Yang, and cooperate with each other.
After Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing arrived at the Tianwang Gang, Yang Yao entertained them very warmly. During the dinner, Fu Tianpeng told him the purpose of his trip. Yang Yao learned that it was Qin Hui who confused Sheng Cong and put Yue Shuai in a dilemma. He slapped the case and said angrily: "Qin Hui deceived the emperor and harmed the people. Back then, he said that he killed the golden guards at the Yellow River crossing and fled back. I It seems to be a big lie. The old thief is clearly a spy of the Jin Kingdom. He studied under Wang Boyan, the traitorous prime minister. If the teacher is like this, the apprentice is not much better. What he proposed is that the south should follow the south and the north should lead the north. It is simply an act of rebellion and surrender to the enemy."
Fu Tianpeng knew that Gang Leader Yang was suffering from his traitorous ministers, and he felt the same situation himself. So he comforted Yang Yao and told Gang Leader Yang that as long as the passionate people work together, they will be able to change the atmosphere of the world and make the court peaceful.
After Yang Yao smiled bitterly, he told Fu Tianpeng that he was very grateful to Yue Shuai for his hard work, and that all specific operational planning was decided by Yue Shuai. Fu Tianpeng's face was full of joy, and he and Zhao Xueqing immediately said goodbye to Yang Yao and returned to Yue Fei's camp.
The next night, Yue Fei ordered the drums to be beaten to gather the generals, and after ordering the warships, they left the stronghold and headed towards the Dongting Lake Tianwang Gang. When Yang Yao learned that Yue Fei was attacking his outpost, he immediately sent hundreds of warships to fight. The two sides started fighting on Dongting Lake. For a while, the war drums were rumbling and the shouts were loud. The quiet night was torn open by the firelight, and red waves rippled into the distance.
Qin Hui learned that Yue Fei had set up camp and went to Dongting Lake, and was about to send someone to investigate the situation. At this time, a servant suddenly came in to report to him, and General Meng He of the Huaixi camp asked to see him. There is another person in Qin Hui's living room at this moment, and he is Huang Qi from the Tianwang Gang.
Huang Qi came to Qin Hui to ask him to help him get rid of Yang Yao. The condition was that the Tianwang Gang would obey Qin Hui's words in the future. Qin Hui knew that now that the Tianwang Gang and Yue Fei were in conflict, if he wanted to get rid of Yang Yao, he had to attack Yue Fei first.
Therefore, Qin Hui secretly told Huang Qi to go to Dongting Lake to check the battle situation in person, write a record and submit it to him. The two discussed it for a long time, and the servant was still waiting for Qin Hui's reply, but Qin Hui seemed not to see it. In fact, Qin Hui had other plans. He wanted to give the generals in Huaixi a showdown.
After Huang Qi left, Qin Hui slowly asked his servants to invite Meng He in. After Meng He met Qin Hui, Qin Hui treated him very arrogantly. Meng He was getting more and more angry, and he asked Qin Hui why he was doing this to him.
Qin Hui asked Meng He, the purpose of his trip was to ask why grain and grass were allocated and materials distributed to Han Shizhong and Yue Fei's camps. Seeing that Qin Hui had spoken his mind, Meng He asked him straight to the point what was going on.
Facing Meng He's cross-examination, Qin Hui told him that this was Han Shizhong and Yue Fei's argument to the emperor that they could not allocate any money or food to the Huaixi army. After hearing Qin Hui's statement, Meng He tilted his head and stared at him closely.
Qin Hui looked at Meng He's face and immediately understood Meng He's intention. He told Meng He that Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan could not compare with Han Shizhong and Yue Fei in terms of military command and military exploits. Therefore, food, grass and supplies should be given to the soldiers at the front to get what they deserve.
After hearing this, Meng He could hardly show his anger. He said to Qin Hui: "Master Qin, Han Shizhong and Yue Fei have gone too far. They are also generals who lead troops to fight. Saying such words is an insult to our Huaixi generals. The place where they are stationed is a forward fortress. , our Huaixi Army still shoulders the important task of resisting the Jin Kingdom and defending the puppet Qi."
Qin Hui tried his best to instigate and instigate. When he saw that Meng He was angry, he was secretly happy in his heart. However, Qin Hui's face did not show it. He told Meng He to go back and tell Generals Miao and Liu truthfully and submit the memorial for the need for food, grass and other supplies, and he would uphold justice for the soldiers in Huaixi.
After Meng He thanked Qin Hui repeatedly, he said goodbye to Qin Hui and went back. At this moment, Qin Hui immediately wrote a letter and secretly sent his confidants to Jin Wushu's camp to deliver the letter. After Jin Wushu received the letter, bursts of smiles appeared on his beard-like face. He ordered people to find the military adviser Hamichi to discuss with him the strategy of attacking Song Dynasty.
Hami Chi told Jin Wushu that for this attack on the Southern Song Dynasty, adequate preparations must be made and more flowering methods should be adopted. Qin Hui was responsible for inciting the Huaixi Army to rebel. Wu Xi rebelled against Song Dynasty before and has now entered Shu. I think the Four Wolf Lords should send someone to contact him and ask Wu Xi to send troops to attack Jingchu. Liu Yu can unite with us, the Kingdom of Jin, to attack cities along the river. With the Southern Song army struggling to cope, I think Han Shizhong and Yue Fei were at their wits end even if Lu Wang was reborn.
After hearing Hamichi's words, Jin Wushu clapped his hands and laughed, and he was ready to implement this strategy immediately. However, Hamichi told Jin Wushu that before sending troops, he had to do something important. If this matter can be handled satisfactorily, then a lot of resistance will be reduced when attacking Song Dynasty.
Jin Wushu was puzzled by Hamichi's words, and he quickly asked Hamichi what it was that was so important. Hamichi replied to Jin Wushu that the reason why the Four Wolf Lords sent troops to the south of the Yangtze River suffered consecutive defeats was because there were people in our camp who were dedicated to serving the Southern Song Dynasty. If such people are not eliminated as soon as possible, there is no telling what unexpected things will happen.
When Jin Wushu heard what Hamichi said, he immediately understood that the person he was talking about was Shi Yisheng. This time when he went south to attack the Song Dynasty, Jin Wushu not only lost his troops but also lost Lu Qiang's life. All of this was secretly caused by Hu Yantong and Shi Yisheng, so those who are detrimental to the hegemony of the Jin Kingdom must be severely punished.
Jin Wushu ordered people to take Shi Yisheng to the commander's tent, and soon the soldiers brought him in. I saw him wearing single clothes and standing in the middle of the handsome tent with unkempt hair. His hands and feet were tied with heavy shackles, and although his body was covered with scars, he still looked serious.
Hami Chi dismissed his soldiers and walked up to Shi Yisheng with a smile. Hamichi said to him: "Mr. Shi, I heard that you have been studying marching formations for many years, and you have tried your best to write a "March Strategy". As long as you are willing to give this book to our Four Wolf Lords, he will I will definitely forget your guilt. Old sir, what do you think?"
After hearing what Hamichi said, Shi Yisheng immediately glared at him angrily. He told Hamichi that he would imitate Yang Bangyi and leave his name in history. He was born as a Song Dynasty person and died as a ghost of the Song Dynasty. It is simply a wishful thinking to get the "March Essentials".
When Jin Wushu saw that Shi Yisheng refused to submit even if he was about to die, he rose up and immediately asked the soldiers to drag Shi Yisheng outside the tent, intending to cook him to death. Facing the boiling cauldron, Shi Yisheng was not afraid at all. He cursed Jin Wu for his surgery and went to die without hesitation.
After Shi Yisheng's death, Hamichi sent people to turn over Shi Yisheng's residence, but could not find the "March Strategy". At this time, he patted his head and cursed his stupidity. Hamichi returned to Jin Wushu's handsome tent and said to him: "Lord Four Wolf, I am really confused. Shi Yisheng has always been hostile to our Kingdom of Jin. How could he put something as important as the "March Strategy" here with us? I Most likely, this book is in his hometown of Putian, Fujian."
Jin Wushu also believed that he had conducted strict checks on the Song people who came in and out of his barracks. It was impossible for them to take the "March Strategy" out, and since Shi Yisheng acted so cautiously, the person entrusted to him must be both civil and military capable and capable of taking on important responsibilities. people. He has never had much contact with the Southern Song Dynasty, so it is unlikely that he will give the book to others in a short time.
Hamichi extended his thumb and praised Jin Wushu for his sensible analysis. In order to obtain the "March Strategy", Jin Wushu ordered the Wujiantang killers to go to Fujian and search for Shi Yisheng's former residence.
After the news spread that Shi Yisheng was cooked and killed by the Jin people, all loyal people were moved by his noble integrity. When two marshals, Han Shizhong and Yue Fei, set up monuments and biographies for him, they also asked Emperor Gaozong to praise Shi Yisheng. Emperor Gaozong was grateful for his contribution and named him the Lord of Loyalty and Righteousness.
When Fu Tianpeng learned that Shi Yi's life was at the hands of Jin Wushu, his eyes burst into flames and he was determined to avenge Shi Yisheng. He took out the poem that Shi Yisheng gave to Wang Zuo, and tears fell down, moistening the paper.
At this time, at the end of the paper with the poem written on it, a row of densely packed small characters appeared. Fu Tianpeng stopped crying and handed the paper to Yue Fei. Yue Fei saw the paper written on it: "The Essentials of the March is in the old house at No. 15, Xinghua Ancient Street, Putian, in a corner near the thatched cottage."
Yue Fei said to Fu Tianpeng: "I would like to ask two knights to go to Putian. Firstly, they can trace the whereabouts of the "March Strategy" and prevent this book from falling into the hands of the Jin people. Secondly, they can help Marshal Han Shizhong find General Li Bao. Logically, he would have been there long ago. He should be back, but there has been no news.”
Fu Tianpeng told Marshal Yue Fei that he had been very concerned about his safety since he parted with General Li Bao in Southern Shaolin. It just so happens that I can take this opportunity to visit Putian. Yue Fei nodded, and after he asked Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing to make some adjustments, they set off for Putian as soon as possible.
