Han Shizhong and other generals jointly signed a guarantee to intercede for Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing. When Emperor Gaozong saw the joint letter, he remembered Fu Tianpeng's past contributions to the imperial court, so he re-drafted the decree to revoke his wanted notice and reinstate him.

After Qin Hui learned the news, he entangled a group of flattering and traitorous ministers, and went to the Jinluan Palace to ask Gaozong to change his mind. At this time, the military department Shangshu learned the news that the four wolf lords of the Jin State, the generalissimo of the southern expedition Jin Wushu, were preparing to contact Wu Xi in Shuzhong to go out of Sichuan to attack Jingmen, and then open up the line along the river.

The military situation is urgent, and every second counts. Gaozong immediately informed the ministers to discuss countermeasures, Han Shizhong returned to Gaozong, Shuzhong had the danger of winning in the shape of mountains and rivers, and the two generals Wu Jue and Wu Ling had been guarding there for many years, and they were deeply loved by the people. Now that their descendant Wu Xi is there to refuse to be called the emperor of Shu, so that his ancestors will be disgraced, the court can tell the people of Shuzhong, bitterly show Wu Xi's guilt, and do a good job of reassuring the people, as long as Wu Xi loses the support of the people of Sichuan, I believe that he will be captured in one fell swoop soon.

After listening to Han Shizhong's analysis of the battle situation, Gaozong couldn't help but be overjoyed. He crowned Han Shizhong as the general of the expedition to the west, controlled the soldiers and horses of the two lakes, and sent troops to attack Wu Xi. Han Shizhong asked Gaozong to let Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing go with the army, and Gaozong allowed the performance.

When the army started, Liang Hongyu waved drums and cheered, and marched for the soldiers of the three armies. After Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing bid her farewell, Han Shizhong's army marched towards Bashu. Wu Xi learned the news in Shuzhong and immediately summoned the old department to discuss countermeasures. At this time, the deputy general Song Yi came out to offer advice. He said to Wu Xi: "Saint, the Song army has a wall ladder, so we have a good plan." Are you still afraid of them? ”

Wu Xi saw that Song Yi looked confident, and immediately asked him if he had any good strategy to retreat from the enemy. Song Yi told Wu Xi that when Han Gaozu entered Shu, Zhang Zifang suggested that he set fire to the plank road to break Xiang Yu's suspicions. Later, Han Xinming repaired the plank road and darkened Chen Cang. Help Liu Bang out of Sichuan to seize the world, the ancient plan is used today, why don't we follow Zhang Liang's approach?

After listening to Song Yi's words, Wu Xi nodded again and again. He laughed and said: "When I set fire to the plank road, and then set a strong bow and crossbow along the line of the mountain cliff, Han Shizhong just plugged in his wings, and didn't think about coming over to fight a soldier."

After that, Wu Xi immediately sent someone to set fire to the plank road into Sichuan, and he himself was enclosed in Shu, happy to be at ease. Wu Xi thinks that without the plank road, there are cliffs everywhere that cannot be seen, what Song Kingdom, what Jin Kingdom, I don't care about all of them.

After burning the plank road, Wu Xi openly claimed the king of Shu and fought against the Song Dynasty. Han Shizhong learned the news and ordered the army to rush to Bashu in the starry night. The soldiers went out of Jingmen to the front of the Shuzhong boundary, and found that the plank road had been burned, and the falling rocks on the edge of the cliff rolled down, and there was no shadow, which could be seen to be a cliff.

Han Shizhong, Fu Tianpeng, Zhao Xueqing and other generals looked down at this steep mountain, he stroked his beard, and said with a serious expression: "Even if this commander has Deng Shizai's ambition to smuggle through Yinping, I am afraid that he will not be able to capture Xichuan like him." Let's see, the other side is full of dust and smoke from a distance, and there must be soldiers stationed there. They are at ease, and we can climb the cliff, and we will be killed by these soldiers.

Seeing this situation, some of them rubbed their hands, and some scolded Wu Xi for being cunning, but for a while, no one had a good plan in their hearts. After Zhao Xueqing calmly pondered, she told Han Shizhong that now our army is under the edict to rebel, and the morale of the three armies is flourishing. This is a good opportunity to rush forward. If it is delayed for a long time and the grain and grass are insufficient, it will not only be extremely unfavorable to the capture of Xichuan in the future, but also may be pursued by the Jin people on the way.

After listening to Zhao Xueqing's words, Han Shizhong asked her if she had any good strategies to break the enemy. Zhao Xueqing told the marshal that it is an indisputable fact that the difficulty of the Shu Road is more difficult than the blue sky. However, for the medicine farmers and woodcutters who collect medicine in the mountains all year round, Shu Road is a flat river. Why don't we send soldiers from Jingchu to go deep into the common people in disguise to find out who has a medicine farmer or woodcutter who is active in the nearby mountains all year round?

As soon as Zhao Xueqing's words came out, Marshal Han praised him again and again. He nodded and said, "The accent is as easy to communicate, and the medicine farmer and woodcutter will definitely know the terrain of the mountains around here well, haha, this plan is good." That's it. ”

After the plan stopped, Han Shizhong immediately sent people to find qualified soldiers, and after the personnel were selected, Han Shizhong selected the best of the best, and the last soldier named Jiang Xin stayed. Han Shizhong told Jiang Xin that this time he would cooperate with Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing to make a good visit, and everything would be arranged by the two, and he would be rewarded if the plan was successful.

In this way, Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing dressed as old men with frosty hair and silver hair, and Jiang Xin, as the son of an old couple, followed them into the city with a cart. After the three of them entered the city, they chose a corner and removed the cabbage and put it on the ground.

After Jiang Xin set the cabbage, he began to shout loudly: "Fresh cabbage, the leaves are like jade, sweet and delicious." ”

While the three of them were doing business, they saw a woodcutter coming with a bundle of firewood on his back. This woodcutter has a large face, a wide chin, slanted eyebrows, a wide nose, and thick and powerful dark arms.

After placing the firewood on the ground, he squatted down and fanned himself with a broken straw hat.

Fu Tianpeng and the others were selling vegetables while carefully looking at the woodcutter. After a while, three people walked on the other side of the road. They all wore silk satin brocade shirts and looked like a wealthy family. The people on both sides, one to the one in the middle, said flattering words from time to time, and the other followed behind the son and fanned the wind from time to time. The rich boy was holding half a banana in his hand, and he was giggling and laughing as he stuffed it into his mouth.

As the three of them spoke, they saw a girl pass by them. She carried the bamboo basket on her back and walked forward with broken steps. Seeing this, the rich boy threw the banana peel into the bamboo basket. The girl raised her eyebrows and angrily reprimanded the rich son. She pointed to the bamboo basket and told them that it was full of hard-picked herbs, how could it be so wasted.

When the rich boy saw that the girl was angry, he was not only angry, but also said to the two guys next to him: "Haha, you see, Xiulan is becoming more and more smart." Hey, hey, hey. ”

The two evil servants nodded again and again, and followed the rich boy to make fun of Xiulan with vulgar words. Xiulan's face was flushed with anger, she put down the bamboo basket, grabbed the herbs inside with her hands, and threw them at the three of them. The rich boy said again: "Hitting is kissing, scolding is love." Come on, come on, throw and throw. ”

When the rich boy spoke to Xiulan, two evil servants came up and said to Xiulan: "You didn't throw it right, let's teach you two." ”

The two evil servants, one on the left and one on the right, came up and grabbed Xiulan's hand. They said to Xiulan: "Miss Xiulan, let's go, our Yao Gongzi's family has herbs, let you throw them away." ”

Fu Tianpeng wanted to teach the three scoundrels a lesson, but Zhao Xueqing coughed lightly and reminded him not to forget the big things. In this way, Fu Tianpeng held back his anger and watched the development of the situation. When the woodcutter saw that Yao Gongzi was robbing the people's girls in broad daylight, he immediately got up and went to stop them.

After Yao Gongzi glared at the woodcutter with squinted eyes, he said to him: "Li Si, this is really a bedbug from swallowing melon seeds, why are you everywhere." ”

Li Si yelled at Yao Gongzi again and again, begging him to let Xiulan go. When Yao Gongzi heard this, his strange eyes rolled, and Li Si said with his mouth full of spittle: "Li Si, do you have a crush on her?" Let me let her go, and if you hug her and kiss her in front of everyone, I will let her go. ”

Xiulan saw that Yao Gongzi was full of foul language, and the more she said that Zhao was outrageous, she rushed forward again and scolded Yao Gongzi for being shameless. When the two wicked servants saw this, they began to beat them. At this time, Li Si came up to block in front of Xiulan, and the two evil servants immediately punched and kicked Li Si.

Yao Gongzi was happy as he walked to Li Si's firewood, and he lit the firewood with a fire letter. Immediately, smoke rose and the flames scared away all the people who were setting up the stalls around them. Li Si's house was no longer open to open the pot, he wanted to go into the city and sell firewood to buy some cornmeal for his mother on the sickbed, but the firewood was burned to ashes by Yao Gongzi.

Li Si couldn't bear it anymore, got up from the ground, and rushed to the front of Yao Gongzi with an arrow step. When he went up, it was a slap in the face, and Yao Gongzi was dizzy. Seeing that Yao Gongzi was beaten, the evil servants picked up the watermelon from a fruit stall, and the other picked up the flat shoulder on the spot, and called Li Si one after another.

Li Sishuang's fists were invincible to his four hands, and he was soon beaten to the point that his nose was blue and his face was swollen. Zhao Xueqing saw that the time was ripe, and secretly ordered Jiang Xin to do it. Jiang Xin stepped forward and waved his hand again and again, and said: "Alas, what are you doing, they are all from the neighborhood, so why bother with fists and feet." ”

After listening to Jiang Xin's words, Yao Gongzi stared at him with toad eyes. The two evil servants also looked at Jiang Xin for a while, and they said to Jiang Xin: "We look left and right, horizontally and vertically, and we all feel that you are not a thing. ”

Jiang Xin said to them: "I am a person, you are not a thing. ”

After Yao Gongzi heard Jiang Xin's words, he was immediately furious. He said to the evil servant: "What day is today, why have so many fish, turtles, shrimps and crabs come out?" You teach me a good lesson, these two boys. ”

As soon as the two evil servants heard Yao Gongzi's words, they picked up their things and ran to Jiang Xin. Seeing the two evil servants rushing towards him side by side, Gong Jiang Xin walked forward quickly, skillfully avoiding the attack of the evil servants.

In the middle of them, he made a white horse pass through the gap. knocked two evil servants into a man and flipped on his back.

The evil servant grinned in pain, and Yao Gongzi jumped to the side and scolded: "Get up and waste, don't hurry up and beat them down." ”

As he was talking, Jiang Xin rushed forward with another lunge. He grabbed Yao Gongzi by the collar and threw him out like a chicken. With a "bang", Yao Gongzi fell into disgrace.

The market was in a mess, and soon the yamen sent out messengers and catchers to maintain order. Yao Gongzi covered half of his red and swollen face, pointed at Jiang Xin and Li Si, and ordered them to take them down together.

Jiang Xin and Li Si stood in place, and the servants and catchers quickly put on the shackles and took the two back to the yamen.

Before leaving, Jiang Xin glanced at Fu Tianpeng, and Fu Tianpeng nodded secretly. In the next step, Jiang Xin can establish a friendship with Li Si in prison so that he can get his help when searching for a way in the mountains.
