When the news came back to Xiaoyao Valley, Ma Yucheng was afraid that the Whirlwind Team would lose, and it seemed impossible for them to return to the alliance, so he had to ask Zhang Wuying and Zhang Yunyou to rush to help immediately.

General Wang Jian allocated 300 elite sergeants for Zhang Xiaotian's dispatch, and a group of martial arts figures and a cadre sergeant set off in a boat. They entered the Fuchu River along the Han River and quietly set up a secret camp on the other side of the North Army Dock.

The place where the Northern Army built the warships was on the banks of the Fuchu River, and they requisitioned a large number of craftsmen to work day and night, crackling and clanging and noisy. In the timber yard on the shore, there are mountains of timber, enough to build two or three thousand warships.

Zhang Wuying quietly sneaked across the river and blended into the team of craftsmen.

"New here?" asked a craftsman at work.

Zhang Wuying responded: "That's right, I was arrested yesterday." ”

The craftsman said, "Brother, your life is hard, and you have to peel off your skin when you catch it here." ”

Zhang Wuying asked puzzledly: "How do you say this? Doesn't it mean that you are paid for your work?"

The craftsman said, "I was paid for my wages, but I soaked in water for more than ten hours a day, and my waist was soaked and rotten, so I didn't get any treatment, and I had to continue to work." In winter, the water is cold, and some of them are sick, and they use targets to rush to work. ”

Zhang Wuying sighed and said, "That's really a hard life." ”

The craftsman said, "That's not all, this ghost season, people are cold to death in the water during the day, and they are so cold at night that they can't stand it at all." As he spoke, he lifted his clothes, and his waist was swollen and festering. He continued: "That's it, you have to keep working. Before, there were people who couldn't bear the cold and wanted to escape, but they were directly slashed by the Mongols. ”

Zhang Wuying said: "Why do they kill people casually?"

The craftsman shook his head and said with a gloomy expression: "How can there be a way to survive as a slave who has died in the country?"

Zhang Wuying looked around at the people working in the dock and asked, "Could it be that these people were all arrested?"

The craftsman said, "If you don't catch it, you should come to die yourself?"

The situation was almost touched, Zhang Wuying took advantage of the unpreparedness of the supervisor, quietly sneaked back to the secret camp on the south bank, drew a sketch of the situation and geography in the north and the stacking of wood, and handed it to Zhang Xiaotian and Li Murong to discuss.

Niu Feifei said: "Those craftsmen are so pitiful, and burning these woods is also a salvation for them." ”

Zhang Xiaotian said: "Of course, burning is to burn, we are here to burn these woods, only tonight, hurry up." ”

Zhang Yunyou said: "Don't worry, when is the most comfortable time to listen to me." ”

Niu Feifei said: "Uncle Zhang, you look at the stars and the sky every day, and you can see that there is no famous hall? When people find out, we can't do anything." ”

Zhang Yunyou said: "Wait for the wind! There should be a southwest wind in the near future. ”

Zhang Wuying said: "You are talking about dreams, this is the cold winter season, the north wind is blowing everywhere, how can there be a southwest wind?"

It was Zhang Yunyou who said: "There will be." ”

Everyone was impatient, and Niu Feifei said, "What kind of southwest wind are you waiting for?" We will sneak into the timber yard at night, pour some tung oil, light a fire, and we'll be done, regardless of whether the southwest wind is southwest or not. ”

Nangong Hao also complained: "That's it, I've been trapped here for several days, I have to wait for the southwest wind, if the southwest wind doesn't blow in a winter, people will have already finished building all the warships." ”

While they were talking, suddenly the branches around them began to sway.

Li Murong said: "The wind is blowing. ”

Hua Qianqian jumped up happily: "It's really windy, southwest wind." ”

Although Zhang Yunyou predicted that there would be a southwest wind, he couldn't tell when it would come, and when he saw that the southwest wind really came, he was also excited, and scolded: "His grandmother's, the sky is me!"

As the saying goes, the moon is dark and kills people, and the wind is high and the sky is on fire. Anyone who sets fire likes the wind, the wind helps the fire, the fire helps the wind slightly, and the target can be swallowed up in the sea of fire soon.

Since the wind is blowing, there is nothing to say. Zhang Xiaotian asked everyone to quickly divide up and prepare, and in the middle of the night, he used a few boats to quietly transport hay and tung oil across the river secretly, and poured barrels of oil on the wood that had been stacked for a long time, and mixed the hay and wood together, a little fire, the fire burned through the wind, and it was really huge, the wind urged the fire, the flames rose into the air, and the blazing fire could be seen within a radius of 100 miles.

Due to the action of the wind and tung oil, the fire spread rapidly as soon as it ignited. From the lumber yard to the dock, the ships under construction were also burned. When the craftsmen saw the ferocity of the fire, they did not dare to put out the fire, so they threw themselves into the river and took the opportunity to escape.

The dockyard and lumber yard were guarded by the army, and the northern barracks of the lumber factory were also ignited by the fire, and the sergeants were killed and wounded. Li Murong and they set the fire in a mess, and they almost didn't withdraw, the fire rose too fast, smashing their butts, and the cow fat almost turned into roast beef here.

Kublai Khan saw that the fire was strange and ruined his plan to go south, so he ordered someone to investigate the cause of the fire. Naturally, there were still some traces of copper oil in the timber yard, so it was concluded that it was a man-made fire. Who burned the wood? This caused a big stir in the Northern Army, which investigated the chickens and dogs, arrested many people, and interrogated many people, and finally concluded that it was not the work of the insiders, but the arson of the Southern Army. This conclusion is obviously not the result of investigation, but judgment.

This fire prevented Kublai Khan's attempt to move south along the Han River, or at least slowed down their southward advance, which played a very important role in the Southern Song Dynasty's war against Mongolia.

As soon as this fire was burned, it greatly hit the morale of the northern army and boosted the morale of the southern army. Wang Jian won the appreciation of Meng Gong, the commander of the western part of Beijing, because of this fire. At this time, Meng Zongzheng was seriously ill and could not act in military affairs. His son Meng Gong succeeded him in commanding the military of the Xiangyang front, and the official worshiped the envoy of the Jingxi system. Wang Jian burned down 2,000 Mongol warships because of a fire, and was reused by Meng Gong to control the loyal army. This is also Meng Zongzheng's contribution to the border defense of the Southern Song Dynasty, he not only left a brave and warlike loyal army, but also left a son Meng Gong who can conquer and fight, so that the corner of Xiangyang stands majestically and guards the Southern Song Dynasty. Kublai Khan fought here for many years, but he couldn't defeat Meng Gong and couldn't take Xiangyang.

Wang Jian later followed the famous anti-Yuan general Yu Yu into Sichuan to establish meritorious deeds, which is a later story.

When the whirlwind team was about to leave the Fuhu River, Li Murong suddenly noticed a fast figure flashing and entered the northern army camp.

Is there such a master in the Mongol army? She had doubts in her heart and decided not to rush back for now. Let's first see the situation in the Mongolian military camp clearly.

There is no doubt that Zhang Wuying took on the role of a spy and infiltrated the military camp of the Northern Army. The result of the trial surprised him, the martial arts masters in the Mongolian army were not one or two, but an entire camp, called the Yiyong Battalion. Zhang Wuying met with Monk Baoyin and Meng Pingnan there, and the elites of the Pingnan Chamber of Commerce gathered in the Yiyong Camp. What's going on?

Zhang Wuying hid outside the account, secretly listening to the conversation inside, and Monk Baoyin said: "Now although you are in the army, you still have to hide your deeds, and don't show it too much, so as not to be detected by the Martial Arts Alliance." Now, if they find out, we still can't compete. ”

Meng Pingnan said: "The various branches are still accumulating strength, and this time the losses are too great, and Yiwuwei has been wiped out by the Song army. ”

Monk Baoyin said: "Don't engage in an organization like Yi Wuwei in the future, it will be easy to attract the attention of the government. ”

However, there was a group of people at the scene who did not think much of their conversation, it was the foundation of the Pingnan Chamber of Commerce, and it was a secret master who had never made a move so far. It is precisely because they have never made a move and have not encountered a strong enemy that they think very highly of themselves, thinking that Lao Tzu is the best in the world, and they don't take the martial arts alliance in their eyes. One of the great men was dissatisfied with the monk Baoyin and said, "The great lama always grows the ambition of others and destroys his own prestige." A mere martial arts alliance will scare you like this! When I go to Xiaoyao Valley, I will trample them down. ”

Monk Baoyin said, "Ilad, don't be reckless. When I first went to Jiangnan, I had the same idea as you, and I even went to Xiaoyao Valley to challenge. The Great Song Dynasty Wulin Hidden Dragon Crouching Tiger should not be underestimated. He glanced at Meng Pingnan and said, "You think too simply, if we fight hard, we won't be able to fight them." The method that Pingnan used to take was very good, creating contradictions and making them fight in the nest. ”

Meng Ping had a color in the south and said: "The foundation of the southern martial arts for hundreds of years is not something that one or two good hands can regret to move, and it is necessary to think about it in the long run." ”

Ilad snorted and stopped talking. Judging from his expression, the men next to him didn't know the height of the sky, and obviously held the same opinion as him, thinking that as long as he went out by himself, all problems would be solved. They have a lot of opinions about the timidity of Monk Baoyin and Meng Pingnan.

Meng Pingnan said: "The envoy doesn't know where he is, so he hasn't asked about the Chamber of Commerce for a long time. ”

Monk Baoyin said: "The envoy has the difficulties of the envoy, otherwise he would not entrust the Chamber of Commerce to me." There was also an order from Mili City, saying that during the hibernation of the envoy, our entire chamber of commerce was as motionless as it was to be still, and to deal with the Great Song martial arts or the martial arts masters of the Great Song Dynasty, they knew how to deal with their own people. We don't know much about the martial arts figures in the south, so Fu Jin asked us not to have a head-on conflict with the martial arts alliance for the time being before the envoy returned to the mountain, and the core force retired from the army and waited for the opportunity to move. ”

Ilad muttered again: "How long is this going to be hidden?" Before he could finish speaking, Monk Baoyin shouted: "Who is it?"

It turned out that Zhang Wuying accidentally made a noise and was noticed by him.

Zhang Wuying saw that the situation was almost touched, this was in the other party's army, and as soon as it was noticed, he had to withdraw as soon as possible, so he quietly retreated.

The Baoyin monk chased them out of the tent and found nothing. Zhang Wuying walked neatly, quickly returned to the secret camp on the south bank of Fu, and explained the situation to everyone.
