Chapter 121: Crossing the Yangtze River (3)

"The Yanqing brothers, nicknamed the 'prodigal son', are multi-talented people, playing and singing, dancing, talking from all walks of life, and doing all kinds of arts." Military advisor Wu said with a smile, "Even if Chen Guan finds something different, with Brother Yanqing's ability, he can deal with it calmly, and there is no danger." In this matter, if it is replaced by other brothers, it will be more auspicious and less auspicious, only the Yanqing brothers can do it. ”

Lu Junyi also answered: "What the military advisor said is very true, and I am also very clear about Xiao Yi's ability, and I know the dialects and interesting things in various places very clearly, if Chen Guan asks about customs and habits, he can also deal with it calmly." This matter is really only possible for Xiao Yi to complete, but he is still a little dangerous alone, and he still needs the assistance of other brothers. ”

Wu Yong said: "Xie Zhen and Dong Ping, you and Brother Yan Qing went together and pretended to be the Southern Army. ”

Xie Zhen and Dong Ping replied: "Take the order!" ”

So, Yan Qing, Xie Zhen, and Dong Ping left the barracks to carry out their tasks.

Three came out of Yangzhou City and took the road to Dingpu Village. More than 40 miles away from the city, it was only in front of Chen Jiangshizhuang that he found the way. From a distance, the three of them saw twenty or thirty villagers in front of the door, all neatly dressed, exactly the same costume, holding bamboo hats, and spreading a handful of black tassels; He wore a thin-threaded jacket and an eight-foot red silk tied around his waist. Ox shoulder shoes, mountaineering like arrows; Swertier skin socks, foot protection like cotton. Everyone carries a sword, and everyone picks up the crow's beak.

Yan Qing immediately changed her accent and changed it to an authentic Zhejiang accent, which made Xie Zhen and Dong Ping stunned. Yan Qing stepped forward to chat with Zhuang Ke and asked, "Is General Chen in the house?" ”

Zhuang Ke glanced at Yan Qing and replied, "Where are the guests from?" ”

Yan Qing said with a smile: "I came from Runzhou, but because I crossed the river and took the wrong way, I stayed for half a day before I came here. ”

Zhuang Ke immediately thought that Yan Qing was an official sent by Runzhou, and hurriedly introduced him into the guest room. Dong Ping and Xie Zhen put down their burdens and followed Zhuang Ke to the back hall to meet Chen Jiangshi.

When Yan Qing saw the person sitting in the hall, he guessed that he was Chen Guan, and then glanced at the acquaintances beside him, and didn't think much about it, and immediately bowed down and said, "Ye Gui is here!" ”

Chen Guan hurriedly asked, "Where did you come from?" ”

Dong Ping and Xie Zhen couldn't understand Chen Jiangshi's Zhejiang dialect, only Yan Qing could understand it, and he also replied in Zhejiang dialect: "Please let the other people avoid it before you can explain it to the minister." ”

Chen Guan saw that Yan Qing was using the Zhejiang dialect to believe what he said, and said with a smile: "These are all my confidants, but it's okay to say it." ”

Yan Qing continued: "The villain's surname is Ye Minggui, and he is the former Yu Hou of Lu's secret tent. On the seventh day of the first month, he received Wu Cheng's secret book, and the privy was very happy, and Ye Gui sent Wu Cheng to Suzhou to see the three kings of the royal brother, and he was prepared to say that he would be public. The three kings made people play, lowered the official edict, and named the prime minister as the governor of Yangzhou. ”

"The two Zhige people, when Lu Shumi meets, they will be decided. Today, I went back with Wu Cheng, and I didn't want him to feel cold and his body couldn't move, so he could only rest. The privy councillor was afraid that he would miss a major event, so he sent Ye Gui to the minister's official letter, and the privy documents, customs defense, cards, three hundred flags, one thousand collars, and a few hundred collars. ”

Chen Guan took the official document handed over by Yan Qing, opened it, was overjoyed, and put the incense case on the table, looking at Nan Thanks. Moreover, Chen Guan exchanged Chen Yi and Chen Tai to come out to meet. Yan Qing called Xie Zhen and Dong Ping to take out the number coat and flag, and entered the back hall to deliver it, and Chen Guan invited Yan Qing to sit down.

Yan Qing refused: "The villain is a pawn, how dare he sit?" ”

Chen Guan smiled disappreciatively: "The person who is from the wall is the one who is different, and he is worried about the petty official, how dare he be contemptuous?" It doesn't hurt to sit on the right seat. ”

Yan Qing was humble again and again, and couldn't bear Chen Guan's enthusiasm, so she could only sit down from a distance. Chen Guan ordered someone to bring wine and persuaded Yan Qing, but Yan Qing refused on the grounds that he did not drink. It's not that he can't drink, it's that he can't drink, and he can't delay things. Chen Guan saw that Yan Qing didn't drink alcohol, and he no longer persuaded him to drink, so he called his son, father and others to drink together.

Chen Guan was in a good mood, and naturally drank to his heart's content, but he didn't know that danger had come. Yan Qing quietly glanced at Xie Zhen and Dong Ping, and the three of them knew that it was time to take action at a glance. So, Xie Zhen secretly took out the sweat medicine from his arms, looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, so he put it in the wine jug.

Yan Qing picked up the wine glass, got up and came to Chen Guan, bowed down and said: "Although Ye Gui has never crossed the river with wine, borrowing the wine fruit from Xianggong, the right is the meaning of congratulations. ”

Chen Guan saw that he personally came to salute himself with a wine glass, and quickly stood up. Yan Qing took this opportunity to pour a large amount of wine and persuaded Chen Guan, Chen Guan was in good spirits on happy occasions, and drank the slowly dry bowl of wine without thinking about it. After Yan Qing saw that Chen Guan had finished drinking, he toasted Chen Yi and Chen Tai with a glass of wine, and let Chen Guan's henchmen also drink a bowl.

Yan Qing saw that the time was ripe, and quietly made a gesture to Xie Zhen. Xie Zhen secretly pulled away, looked for the fire, took out the flag, and then lit it and set fire directly in the manor. This is also a signal, as long as there is a fire, Zhao Gou will lead the army to come.

At this time, the entire manor was flanked on the left and right sides by the soldiers of the Song army, and when they saw the light of the fire, they immediately blew the horn and summoned the army to come. Yan Qing sat in the hall, smiling at the people who fell to the ground one after another, and then pulled out sharp knives from their waists with Dong Ping and started together, Chen Guan's father and son and others were all killed.

At the same time, ten generals were coaxed outside the Zhuang Gate, and they led the Song army to fight from the main gate. The ten generals are: Flower Monk Lu Zhishen, Walker Wu Song, Nine Pattern Dragon Shi Jin, Sick Guan Suo Yang Xiong, Black Whirlwind Li Kui, Leopard Head Lin Chong, Wang Gui, Zhang Xian, Tang Huai, Wu Lan.

The villagers in front of the door couldn't resist at all, they were defeated and retreated, and they had already been killed by the ten of them. Yan Qing, Xie Zhen, and Dong Ping came with the heads of Chen Guan's father and son, and the generals of the Song Army came to kill outside, only to see the beautiful bearded prince Zhu Tong, the sick lieutenant Chi Sun Li, Yue Fei, Liu Qi, Yang Yizhong, and the blue-faced beast Yang Zhi and other six people also killed.

The six of them led a thousand troops and horses to surround the entire manor, and as long as the people in the Chen Mansion who escaped, they would all be killed by them, leaving no one alive. So, they killed the entire Chen Mansion, and left a few more alive to ask about the ship. Sure enough, after the killing, they were all timid, and they all came, and everyone knew the ships, grain and rice they found, and then reported it to Zhao Gou.

Zhao Gou heard that he killed Chen Guan, got grain, rice, and boats, hurriedly packed his bags, and immediately set off for Chenjiazhuang. When they came to Chenjiazhuang and saw 300 boats, they were all excited, with these ferries they could cross the river and go directly to the enemy's vital point.

So, Zhao Gou ordered: "Choose three hundred fast boats, and each of them will have the flag from Fang La." In addition, a thousand sergeants wore trumpet uniforms, and the rest changed into civilian clothes. ”

Inside the 300 boats, more than 20,000 people were ambushed. In addition, Zhao Gou ordered Li Jun to pretend to be Chen Tai and Zhang Qing to pretend to be Chen Yi, each of them to sit on a big boat, and the rest of the ships were assigned to other generals. On the first boat, Song Jiang and Wu were led by Guan; On the second boat, Zhang Heng was poor and Zhang Shun was in charge; On the third boat, Lu Junyi and Yan Qing were in charge.

These ships are divided into sequences, they three groups of people go forward first, Zhao Gou and others take the ferry boat in the rear, lead Yue Fei, Liu Qi, Lin Chong and others, and load all the war horses on the dragon flying whale ship, there are 1,000 of these boats, under the banner of Zhao Gou, all the big and small generals are sitting on the rear boats, a total of 80,000 people cross the river at the same time, and Zhao Gou ordered Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaowu two brothers to be the generals of the navy, commanded by the two brothers.

Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaowu were originally the commanders of the navy on Liangshan, and Zhao Gou appointed them as the generals of the navy again, allowing them to display their talents. After all, Zhao Gou is familiar with the art of war, but he doesn't know how to fight in water warfare.

Yue Fei, Liu Qi, Lin Chong and others are also road generals, but they don't know how to command the naval army to fight, so they can only rely on Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaowu for such heavy tasks. The two of them were overjoyed to get the important task of Zhao Gou. Moreover, Zhao Gou ordered the army to obey the arrangements of the two of them without any disobedience, so that the two brothers did not hesitate to show their skills, and they admired Zhao Gou even more in their hearts.
