The rise of the late Song Dynasty reigns supreme

Chapter 101 Crossing the Yangtze River Skillfully (Part [-])

"Brother Yanqing, nicknamed 'The Prodigal Son', is a man of many talents. He plays, plays, sings and dances, talks in various ways, and performs all kinds of arts." Wu Yong, the military adviser, said with a smile, "Even if Chen Guan finds that there are some differences. , With Brother Yanqing's ability, he can deal with it calmly, without any danger. If this matter is replaced by other brothers, it will be more ominous, and only Brother Yanqing can do it."

Lu Junyi also answered: "What the military adviser said is true. I am also very aware of Xiaoyi's abilities. I know all the dialects and interesting things in various places very clearly. If Chen Guanwen asks about customs and habits, he can deal with it calmly. Only Xiaoyi can handle this matter. B can complete it, but he is still a little dangerous alone, and he still needs the assistance of other brothers."

Wu Yong said: "Brothers Xie Zhen and Dong Ping, you go with Brother Yanqing and pretend to be the Southern Army."

Xie Zhen and Dong Ping replied: "Take orders!"

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

Three of them came out of Yangzhou City and took the road to Dingpu Village.It was more than forty miles away from the city, and the people who explored the road found Chen Jiangshizhuang.From a distance, the three of them saw twenty or thirty village guests in front of the door, all neatly dressed in the same attire, with bamboo hats covered with a handful of black tassels;Bull-blade shoes, climbing mountains like arrows; deer leather socks, protect feet like cotton.Everyone carries a feather knife, and everyone carries a crow's mouth.

Yan Qing immediately changed her accent to an authentic Zhejiang accent, which left Jie Zhen and Dong Ping stunned.Yan Qing went up to chat with the farmer and asked, "Is General Chen at the mansion?"

The farmer glanced at Yan Qing, and replied, "Where does the guest come from?"

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

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

When Yan Qing saw the people sitting in the hall, he guessed that he was Chen Guan, and glanced at the acquaintances beside him, without thinking too much, immediately bowed down and said, "See you, Ye Gui!"

Chen Guan quickly asked: "Where are you coming from?"

Dong Ping and Xie Zhen couldn't understand Chen's Zhejiang dialect, but Yan Qing could understand it, and he also replied in Zhejiang dialect: "Please let the others stay away, so that I can explain to you."

Seeing that Yan Qing spoke Zhejiang dialect, Chen Guan believed what he said, and said with a smile: "These are all my confidantes, but it's okay to say."

Yan Qing went on to say: "The villain's surname is Ye Minggui, and he is the Marquis of Lu Shumi's tent. On the seventh day of the first lunar month, the privy secretary was very happy when he received Wu Cheng's secret letter. He specially sent Ye Gui to send Wu Cheng to Suzhou. Prepare to talk about the meaning of Xianggong. The three kings sent people to play, and issued an official edict, and made Xianggong the governor of Yangzhou."

"The two Zhige Sheren, when Lu Shumi meets, we will make an official title. Today, Wu Cheng and I are on the return journey. I don't want him to feel cold and unable to move, so he can only rest. The Privy Council is afraid that it will miss the important event, so I sent Ye Gui. Send it to Xianggong Guan, along with privy documents, customs defenses, plaques, three hundred flags, one thousand collars for uniforms, and a fixed day, and the Xianggong grain ships are required to go to the bank of the Runzhou River for delivery."

Chen Guan took the official document handed over by Yan Qing, opened it, was overjoyed, and set up the incense table again, looking south to thank him.Moreover, Chen Guan exchanged for Chen Yi and Chen Tai to come out to meet each other.Yan Qing asked Xie Zhen and Dong Ping to take out the livery and banner, and delivered them in the back hall. Chen Guan then invited Yan Qing to sit down.

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

Chen Guan smiled disapprovingly and said: "Your foot is the person sent by Bi En, and you are worried about the little official, how dare you be contemptuous? It doesn't matter if you have the right to sit."

Yan Qing gave way again and again, but couldn't bear Chen Guan's enthusiasm, so she could only sit down from a distance.Chen Guan ordered people to bring wine again, and tried to persuade Yanqing, but Yanqing declined on the grounds that he would not drink.It's not that he can't drink, but that he can't drink, and he must not delay things.Chen Guan saw that Yan Qing didn't drink, and he stopped trying to persuade 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 the danger had already come.Yan Qing quietly glanced at Jie Zhen and Dong Ping, and the three of them knew that it was time to act.So, Jie Zhen secretly took out the Mongolian sweat medicine from her bosom, looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, and put it in the jug.

Picking up the wine glass, Yan Qing got up and came to Chen Guan, bowed and said, "Although Ye Gui never crossed the river with wine, I borrowed the wine and fruits from Mr. Xianggong to congratulate you."

Chen Guan saw that he came to respect himself with a wine glass, so he stood up quickly.Yan Qing took this opportunity to pour a big cup of wine, and went up to persuade Chen Guan, Chen Guan was in high spirits on happy occasions, and drank the bowl of wine slowly without thinking.After Yan Qing saw that Chen Guan had finished drinking, he offered a toast to Chen Yi and Chen Tai, and asked Chen Guan's confidant to drink a bowl too.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Yan Qing quietly gestured to Xie Zhen.Xie Zhen left secretly, found the kindling, took out the banner, 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 left and right sides of the entire manor were surrounded by soldiers of the Song Army. Seeing the light of the fire, they immediately blew their horns and summoned the army to come.Yan Qing was sitting in the hall, smiling at the people who fell to the ground one after another, then she and Dong Ping drew sharp knives from their waists and started fighting together, Chen Guan, his son and others were all killed.

At the same time, ten generals were stirred up outside the gate of the village, and they led the Song army to fight over from the main gate.The ten generals are: Hua Monk Lu Zhishen, Xingzhe Wu Song, Jiu Wen Long Shi Jin, Bing Guan Suo Yang Xiong, Black Whirlwind Li Kui, Leopard Head Lin Chong, Wang Gui, Zhang Xian, Tang Huai, Wu Lin.

The dealers in front of the gate couldn't resist at all, they retreated steadily, and the one who had already been killed by ten of them had thrown away his helmet and armor.Yan Qing, Xie Zhen, and Dong Ping came forward with the heads of Chen Guan and his son, and another general of the Song Army came to kill him outside. They saw the beautiful bearded man Zhu Dian, the sick Wei Chi Sun Li, Yue Fei, Liu Qi, Yang Yizhong, and the green-faced beast Yang Zhi and other six people also came to kill them.

The six of them led a thousand soldiers and horses, and surrounded the entire manor. Anyone in the Chen family who escaped would be killed by them, and no one would be left alive.So, they killed the entire Chen family, left a few alive, and asked about the ship.Sure enough, after the killing, they were all terrified, so they recruited them all, and they cleared up the boats and grain they found one by one, and then reported it to Zhao Gou.

After Zhao Gou heard that he had killed Chen Guan, he got grain, rice and boats, so he hurriedly packed up and set off for Chenjiazhuang.When they came to Chenjiazhuang and saw the [-] boats, they were very excited. With these ferry boats, they could cross the river and reach the enemy's vital points.

So, Zhao Gou sent an order: "Choose [-] fast boats, each with the flag that Fang La descended on. In addition, [-] sergeants will wear livery, and the rest will change into civilian clothes."

Inside the [-] boats, more than [-] 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 in a big boat, and the rest of the boats were assigned to other generals.On the first boat, Song Jiang and Wu Yong were in charge; on the second boat, Zhang Heng was sent, and Zhang Shun was in charge; on the third boat, Lu Junyi and Yanqing were in charge.

The boats were arranged in order, and the three groups of them went forward one step ahead. Zhao Gou and others took the ferry boat behind, led Yue Fei, Liu Qi, Lin Chong and others, and loaded all the war horses on the dragon flying whale boat. There were a thousand of these boats. Under the flag of Zhao Gou, all the generals and generals were sitting on the boats behind. A total of 8 people crossed the river at the same time. Two commanders.

Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaowu were originally the commanders of the navy in Liangshan, and Zhao Gou appointed them as the commanders 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. He can't just talk about it on paper, he needs to take practical actions.

Yue Fei, Liu Qi, Lin Chong and others are also generals on the road, but they know how to command the water army to fight, so they can only entrust these important tasks to Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaowu.The two of them were very happy to receive Zhao Gou's important task.Moreover, Zhao Gou ordered the army to obey the arrangements of the two of them and not violate them in any way, so that the two brothers showed their abilities without hesitation, and they admired Zhao Gou even more in their hearts.
