Chapter 6 Infiltrating Fengxiang (Below) Two Watches
After a while, the wine and food came up, and everyone sat around the table, toasting each other to wash the dust for Zhao Huanhuan and others. The banquet was quite sumptuous, everyone had their own thoughts, and they were not in the mood to drink. After a while, Zhao Huanhuan and Xu still felt tired and were arranged to rest. Wu Jie looked preoccupied, and put down his chopsticks after eating a few bites. Wu Lan was very enthusiastic and frequently persuaded to drink. At this time, a Song Jun junior colonel Xi Yingying came to announce: "The two hall masters of Lu Zhao and the Dongguo brothers have arrived at Shencha Village, and General Yang ordered the little ones to report first. Everyone was overjoyed and got up and went out of the village to greet them. After a while, Lu Fei and the three of them came, and everyone was happy again. After the three of them met the Wu Jie brothers, they were invited into the hall to continue their meal.
At the dinner table, Lu Fei asked, "Castle Master, haven't Xiao Zhu and Gu Yao arrived yet?" Gongsun Mingyue shook his head and said, "Not yet, I hope they are safe and sound." Zhao Hengshan said: "His grandmother's, the Sprinkler family has been holding back the fire in their stomachs, why don't the golden dogs attack it, let the Sprinkler family kill a few to relieve their anger." Dong Guo asked that the knife injury had not healed, and said ashamedly: "Hall Master Zhao had the opportunity to kill Jin Bing all the way, but I was sick and crippled, and Hall Master Zhao has endured it until now in order to take care of me." Wu Jiewan said: "Brother Zhao and I are thinking about it, I hope they will attack quickly, our grain and grass will not last long." Luo Tianchu suddenly said: "Where is the grain and grass of the Jin Kingdom?" Wu Jie said: "Most of them are in Baoji and Fengxiang, do you want to rob the grain? I advise you to dispel this idea, Baoji has 100,000 soldiers and Fengxiang has 30,000 soldiers, which is more than our total troops, and there is absolutely no opportunity to take advantage of it." Luo Tianchu nodded slowly, and said in a deep voice: "The main force of Wanyan Wushu is in Baoji, we may be able to do something in Fengxiang City." Now Jin Guo regards us as if we were in his pocket, and he would never have imagined that we would dare to take the initiative. Wu Jie said with a smile: "The defender of Fengxiang City is the famous general of the Jin State who defeated our army in Fuping, Wanyan Lou Room, this person is brave and resolute, familiar with military strategy, and is one of the founding heroes of the Jin State, not to mention that Fengxiang is guarded by him personally, even if there is no him, it will take at least 50,000 people to capture the city of 30,000 defenders, and we only have 20,000. Luo Tianchu said: "What Wu Jingluo said is reasonable, but if the Jin Kingdom fights a protracted war with us, we can't afford it." Wu Jie sighed: "There is no way, the forced siege of the city will definitely be annihilated, and there will be no chance at that time." ”
Luo Tianchu said with a smile: "We don't have to forcibly attack the city, we can use it." Wu Jiedao: "What is the trick of the little brother?" Luo Tianchu said: "When passing by Baoji and Fengxiang, I found that these two cities are allowed to enter but not out, we can send masters into the city, take advantage of the night chaos to open the city gate, with rockets as the signal, the army ambushed outside the city can rush in, and the Jin army is caught off guard." The monk was very close to Fengxiang, and the reinforcements from Baoji would arrive in three hours at the earliest, and we had already transported the grain and grass back, the key was that the Jin soldiers never imagined that we dared to take the initiative to attack, which was our chance of victory. Wu Jie was silent in thought, his heart was already a little loose, judging the possibility of success. Wu Xuan said suddenly: "Big brother, I think what Brother Luo said is feasible, instead of sitting and eating empty, it is better to fight to the death, maybe you can really grab the grain and grass."
Wu Jiedao: "Please tell Brother Luo about the details of the operation." Luo Tianchu said: "I, the master of Jiangtang, the master of Zhao, and Brother Yue sneaked into Fengxiang tomorrow morning, and then Wu Jingluo, master, and Lu Zhai led 10,000 soldiers to smuggle into Weishui and ambush outside Fengxiang City. At night, the five of us opened the city gate and released rockets as a signal, and you led the troops to kill, at that time the Jin soldiers were asleep, and they couldn't stop us, and we also asked Wu Jingluo to prepare more carriages and carts, and we wanted to transport as much food as possible. Wu Jie drank all the wine in the cup, and said: "That's it! The grain and grass of Fengxiang City is not far from the east gate, as long as the four of them can open the east gate, then we will be half successful." You have worked hard all the way, first rest for the night, and I will prepare the carriage for carrying grain. ”
After the banquet was withdrawn, everyone in the Blood Knife Fort gathered in Gongsun Mingyue's room to talk and laugh for a while before they went back to the house to rest. Early the next morning, Lu Fei, Lu Yi, and Luo Tianchu personally selected the soldiers for the action. The elite soldiers of the Blood Knife Fort are all from the Black Rain Hall, the Divine General Village, and the Demon King Village, Gongsun Mingyue brought out all the soldiers of the three villages, most of them are local people, simple in heart, no culture, loyal to Ling Junlai, willing to sacrifice their lives for it, and never allow the golden soldiers to trample on the homeland.
After selecting a commando team of 10,000 people, Luo Tianchu and the four of them rushed to Fengxiang to lurk. Wu Jie, Lu Fei, and Lu Yi prepared to take a small road to bypass the Jin soldier sentry post and smuggle across the Wei River at dusk. Zhao Huanhuan personally held the wine, and after Luo Tianchu drank it, they said goodbye and left.
When they passed through Shencha Village, Yang Congyi guided a mountain path, walked along the mountain road for two hours, bypassed the Jin soldier guard guard on the side of the Wei River, and crossed the Wei River. In order not to be obtrusive, they dispersed into the city and gathered in the city.
When he first arrived, the Jin soldiers were about to close the city gate, Luo Tianchu was the last group to enter the city from the north gate, and was interrogated by the guards for a few words, he already knew a few words of the Jurchen, made up a fake name, and fooled the pass. After Luo Tianchu entered the city, he saw seven new notices posted on the wall, each notice painted with a portrait, and when he got closer, he knew that it was a wanted notice, and the first portrait read: "The leader of the anti-thieves in the Blood Knife Castle is coming, no matter who is captured and brought to justice, regardless of life and death, the reward is 30,000 taels of silver." Luo Tianchu was funny, secretly thinking that the castle lord Shenlong would not see the head and the end, and the painter had never seen himself, where did he paint the likeness. The second wanted warrant turned out to be himself, and he couldn't help but laugh when he saw his portrait, where is this, he is clearly a sloppy man in his thirties and forties, and the reward is 25,000 taels, and Lu Fei and Yue Yun in the back are also 25,000 taels. Zhao Hengshan, Jiang Feiyan, and Gu Yao are 20,000 taels. Why didn't Luo Tianchu Darkqi want Emperor Roufu? She is not much more important than us, presumably Jin Guo thinks that it is a great shame to be robbed of Emperor Ji, so he keeps it a secret.
Among the seven portraits, only Zhao Hengshan's slightly looked, just because his halberd hair like Zhang Fei was impressive, Luo Tianchu began to worry about Zhao Hengshan who entered the city from the east gate, these days of unkempt made his beard more vigorous, if he was detected by the guards, it would be troublesome. He walked quickly to the east gate, and as soon as he turned onto East Street, he heard someone calling: "Boy, where are you going?" Luo Tianchu turned his head and saw that it was Zhao Hengshan, quickly looked left and right, and stepped forward and whispered: "Didn't the guards interrogate you?" Zhao Hengshan smiled triumphantly: "What kind of people in the Sprinkle family, hiding under a firewood cart and mixing in, only to find that the city is full of our wanted notices, his grandmother's, Jin Guo dares to look down on the Sprinkle family, you are worth five thousand taels more than the Sprinkle family." Luo Tianchu smiled and said, "If you still care about these things, let's go to Brother Jiang and Brother Yue first." ”
After the four of them met, they first found a secluded place, took out a dagger and shaved off Zhao Hengshan's beard. After taking a turn in the city, he saw that the Jin soldiers were lax in their vigilance, and they must have been carried away by the great victory of Fuping, thinking that the next battle would also be devastating and effortless. The granary of Fengxiang City is built in a stone village in the east of the city, the stone village is 100 zhang long, three zhang high, there are arrow stacks, and the archers can be hidden. There are a total of 50 granaries in the village, guarded by 5,000 gold soldiers. Yue Yun saw that the gate of the village was always closed, and it was only opened when it was necessary, even if the city gate was opened, it would take a lot of effort to break through the village.
When the defenders of the stone village saw them wandering around, they ordered them to leave. The four of them found a restaurant and discussed their next move. Jiang Feiyan poured herself a drink, looked at the passers-by on the street, and sighed: "Everyone in the city shaves their heads and braids their hair, and from a distance, they really can't tell who is Han and who is Jin, I am afraid that they will accidentally injure innocents at night." Yue Yun said: "Keep your head without hair, and keep your hair without your head." Every time the Jin Kingdom conquered a city, it ordered the people to shave their heads and braided their hair, and those who did not obey were beheaded. The people had to obey in order to save their lives. When I entered the city, the guard asked me why I didn't braid, and I had to say that it was too late, and that I would cut off my head when I entered the city, and then let me in. Zhao Hengshan said angrily: "Even if the Sprinkle family is a monk, they will never braid their hair!" Luo Tianchu said: "Let's talk about the business first, the stone village of the grain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if you can't fight quickly, drag the Jin soldiers to the reinforcements arrive, we will suffer heavy losses, do you have any good way." "They all know that the problem is serious, but they can't come up with a perfect solution after thinking about it for a long time.
