Fenghou

Chapter 111
Yang Zaixing said with a faint smile, "I learned from Jin Guo's intelligence point in Wuhu that they will attack in Tongling County."

"Information point of the Kingdom of Jin?"

"Wang Ji Mule and Horse Store, where the general stores his war horses, is the information point of the Kingdom of Jin."

Chen Qing couldn't believe it, that mule and horse store was actually an intelligence point for the Kingdom of Jin. Fortunately, he repeatedly asked them to feed the war horses, and he would send someone to pick them up.

"And how do you know it's an intelligence point for the Kingdom of Jin?"

"It's very simple. They spent money to buy more than a hundred rogue ruffians. They asked around for the general's whereabouts. I knew they had a problem. After finding out the general's whereabouts, the manager of the mules and horses told the general's accommodation to the leader of the Qi army. I witnessed all these with my own eyes, the general left, I took this mule and horse shop, and their shopkeeper was afraid of death, so they told me that Jin Bing would fight for the second time in Tongling County, so we rode to Tongling.”

Chen Qing sighed: "If it wasn't for General Yang today, I'm afraid I would be buried in the Yangtze River."

"The general is overwhelmed. I'm just a Han citizen in the north. I can't afford the word 'general'."

Chen Qing smiled slightly: "Didn't you join me in Lin'an? If you follow me to the Western Army, then you will be General Yang."

Yang Zaixing was overjoyed, cupped his fists and knelt down on one knee, "Zaixing is willing to serve the commander!"

Chen Qing hurriedly helped him up and smiled, "I thought you were going to seek refuge with Yue Fei."

Yang Zaixing sighed lightly and said, "Although General Yue is also a hero in the world, he has been suppressing bandits in the south for the past few years. If I take refuge in him, it is very likely that I will meet my old master on the battlefield."

After a pause, Yang Zaixing explained again: "To tell you the truth, the humble officer was originally Cao Cheng's general. Because he was dissatisfied with Cao Cheng's cronyism, he left him in a rage and returned to the north. But Cao Cheng is kind to me. Play for him, but don't want to meet him on the battlefield."

"Are you a descendant of the Yang family?" Chen Qing asked again with a smile.

Yang Zaixing nodded, "Mr. Yang Jiye is my ancestor."

"Then you will meet people from the tribe in the Western Army!"

"Who?"

Chen Qing smiled and said, "You will know when the time comes."

At this time, Hu Yanjia stepped forward to plead guilty, "The villain is not prepared enough, the general has no luggage."

"It doesn't matter about the luggage, as long as the weapons are there."

Chen Qing felt a little regretful, three hundred taels of gold was gone, six thousand coins!It was a pity to use it to make up for the final pension gap.

Hu Yanjia took out a voucher and half a jade pendant from his pocket, and handed it to Chen Qingdao: "This is the voucher for the general's three hundred taels of gold withdrawal, and the commander can withdraw it at the Baoji cabinet in Chengdu."

Chen Qing was stunned, "Have you saved it?"

Hu Yanjia scratched his head in embarrassment and said: "We sold the horses for two hundred guan, and the boatmen were always jealous. I was afraid they would steal them. The gold was deposited together in Baoji Money Shop, and now that I think about it, it’s fortunate that I had an extra heart at the time, otherwise it would have been cheaper for the Jurchen.”

Chen Qing secretly approved in his heart, this Hu Yanjia is really a benevolent person, they can completely swallow the three hundred taels of gold, and he doesn't know it, but he didn't do that, seeing the big from the small, this person can be of great use.

Chen Qing suddenly became interested in soliciting, and wanted to keep Brother Huyan by his side.

Taking the opportunity to rest, the three of them discussed the next move.

Hu Yanjia said: "The fact that the Jin people sent hundreds of Jurchens to intercept the general shows that they attach great importance to the general. The villain believes that they will never let it go, and will definitely do everything possible to find the general."

Yang Zaixing also said: "I also think so. The Jin soldiers will definitely set up a large number of scouts at the pier in Guichi County in front of them to find the whereabouts of the commander. Why don't we go south instead of along the Yangtze River, and it will be difficult for them to find us. gone."

"Where is going south from here?"

"It's Huizhou!"

"Huizhou!"

Chen Qing was stunned for a moment, "We just arrived in Huizhou?"

Huizhou is just next door to Muzhou. We entered Huizhou tens of miles west from Chun’an County. It took us ten days to get to Huizhou. It would be better to take the overland road from Lin’an and arrive in Huizhou in two or three days. Such a big circle.

However, although walking inland could avoid the tracking of the Jin soldiers, it could not avoid Qin Hui's Xiangguo order. He killed eleven Jin Guo envoys and guards himself, and Qin Hui just found an excuse to intercept himself.

Chen Qing thought for a while and said, "Actually, I have a good plan."

Yang Zaixing and Hu Yanjia cheered up and looked at Chen Qing together.

Chen Qing lightly tapped the table with his index finger, and said slowly while thinking: "We can divide our troops into two groups. Brother Huyan and General Yang's men will ride southward on horseback, and then General Yang and I will return to Tongling, disguised as merchants, and enter Shu by water. "

Speaking of this, Chen Qing pointed to Yiling County on the map and said: "When we meet in Yiling County, we will wait for ten days in Yiling County. If you can't make it, then go directly to Hanzhong to find us." !"

"Great trick!"

Yang Zaixing gave a thumbs up and said approvingly: "This trick is so tricky, the Jurchens would never have thought of it."

A three-thousand stone cargo ship was sailing through the waves on the Yangtze River. The east wind was blowing these days, and there was no use of a tracker. The big ship directly pulled up the sails.

Chen Qing was standing on the deck in a black samurai uniform with a frieze and a long sword at his waist.

He and Yang Zaixing originally wanted to pretend to be businessmen, but when they arrived in Tongling, they were dumbfounded. They had no capital, so what kind of businessmen should they be?
Yang Zaixing only had a few hundred coins, and Chen Qing only had a few taels of silver. Chen Qing had money in the Baoji money shop, but there was no Baoji money shop in Tongling. Chengdu, only in Chengdu.

In the end, the two found a dental shop, and a dental man introduced them to a job as a guard for a big businessman going to Sichuan.

Chen Qing and Yang Zaixing each shot an arrow, and the big businessman immediately hired them. This time, Chen Qing earned [-] guan, and Yang Zaixing earned [-] guan.

Chen Qing felt that the big businessman gave too much, but soon he knew that the thirty pennies was not much at all, and the money was actually buying his life.

Although being samurai was a bit wronged, they managed to pass through the nets laid by the Jin people in Guichi and Jiujiang area. Yueyang County is not far ahead.

"Warrior Chen, the proprietor is looking for you!" Someone called him from behind.

Chen Qing nodded and walked quickly to the cabin.

In the cabin, a short and fat middle-aged man was nervously looking at the map. The man was the big businessman who hired Chen Qing this time, also surnamed Chen, named Chen Chong, from Nanchong County, Guozhou, with a big heart and a fat body. He has a pair of small mung bean eyes. Although he is a businessman, he is quite generous.

A few months ago, severe chicken plague broke out in Sichuan, and almost all the chickens, ducks and geese were killed and buried deeply. Chen Chong saw a business opportunity from this. He bought more than [-] catties of duck down and goose down in the south of the Yangtze River, and prepared to use them in winter. Shu made a fortune.

But what worries Chen Chong is the safety issue on the road. The water thief Yang Yao in the Dongting Lake area is very rampant. He not only occupies Dongting Lake, but also extends his tentacles to the Yangtze River. A large cargo ship will definitely be watched by the other party.

Chen Chong's only hope is to meet a small group of water thieves, a few sentinel boats, a dozen bandit soldiers, etc. He has a dozen guards on board, which is enough to deal with it, but if they encounter tooth boats, they will be completely finished up.

Chen Qing quickly walked into the cabin, "Proprietor, are you looking for me?"

"You came just in time, I have something to do with you!"

Proprietor Chen invited Chen Qing in with a smile, and asked with concern: "It's your first time as a guard, but do you get used to it?"

"Fortunately, eat well, sleep well, thank you for your concern!"

"I didn't sleep all night last night. It's hard for us businessmen to do business! Begging for food on the edge of a knife, if you don't pay attention, your life will be gone."

Chen Qing knew that the topic was coming, so he continued to wait for Chen Dongzhu to continue.

"We entered Yang Yao's sphere of influence last night, and we won't be able to leave until tonight. To be honest, I'm not afraid of sentinel boats, but tooth boats."

"Can you tell me more specifically?"

"I called you here to tell you, Guard Yang, you can tell him later!"

Proprietor Chen sighed and continued: "Yang Yao distributed a lot of sentry boats on the Yangtze River. There are about five or six people on each sentry boat. The boat is their medium-sized warship, with at least [-] or [-] people, followed by more than a dozen sentinel boats. My boat belongs to Zhongyu, neither a big fish like a fleet, nor a small fish like a small cargo ship. Therefore, the possibility of encountering tooth boats is very small. If we encounter sentry ships, we can fight to sink a sentry ship, or kill a few water thieves, and we can still keep the goods."

"What if you encounter Yachuan?" Chen Qing asked.

"Don't resist when you encounter Ya Chuan, let them rob. As long as we can save one life, we will be lucky. When the time comes, you and Xiao Yang will follow my command."

Chen Qing said with a cheerful smile: "No problem, after taking the money from Proprietor Chen, of course you have to obey the command of Proprietor Chen!"

Coming out of the cabin, I happened to meet Yang Zaixing. Yang Zaixing hurriedly pulled him aside, "Commander, I'm looking for you! Don't be fooled by the owner."

"What fool?" Chen Qing asked with a smile.

"When I met the nonsense of Ya Chuan's non-resistance, I met Lao Wu just now. Lao Wu said that these water thieves even robbed the lair of Dongting Lake with people and boats. If the harvest is big, they will spare Master Chen's life and let him go." Let’s go, but we warriors have to turn from thieves to soldiers, and if we resist, we will be killed.”

Chen Qing said lightly: "Yang Yao is lucky, I don't have time to mess with him this time!"

At this moment, a crew member suddenly pointed at the river and shouted in fear: "Ya Chuan! Ya Chuan is coming!"
