Because now Anxi Road has just been initially restored, at this time, the conditions for sending troops are not ripe at all, if you want to enter the land of Guanzhong, you should also go out from Lizhou Road, not Anxi Road, so a discerning person knows at a glance that this news is absolutely false. Therefore, when the Ren clan saw it, they would inevitably be thieves, thinking that the Great Song Dynasty suddenly increased troops to Anxi Road, in fact, it was to attack themselves, so they would inevitably rebel immediately regardless of whether they were prepared or not.

After laughing, Zhao Chen said again: "Brother-in-law, who do you think is better to send the army to Anxi Road?" ”

Yang Yan said: "The minister thinks that Bi Zai is the most suitable. ”

Zhao Chen was stunned for a moment and said, "Bi meets again?" Do you need to mobilize him? ”

Zhao Chen's question is also reasonable, Bi Zaiyu is currently the second general in the Great Song Dynasty after Yang Yan, and in addition to Yang Yan, the only general in the Great Song Dynasty who has the ability to take charge alone. Now he is the head of the soldiers and horses on the Huainan West Road, stationed in Haozhou, which is almost a barrier to Jiankang. Yang Yan dared to personally lead the army and collect Western Xia, and it was precisely because Bi Zaiyu sat in Huaixi and resisted the Jin army that he could have no worries.

Moreover, in the later battles on the front line of Jianghuai, Bi Zaiyu led the army to recover Deng, Cai, Ying, and Hao Prefectures, and also made a lot of war deeds. Therefore, whether it was Zhao Chen and Yang Yan discussing the restoration plan, or Han Yanzhi and Wang Yan's ministers, they all believed that in the Northern Expedition after the Great Song Dynasty, Bi Zaiyu would also play an important role.

Although there is no room for loss in quelling the chaos on Anxi Road, the other party is not a strong enemy like Jin Guo after all, and there is also a cadre like Xin Qiji, who is both civil and military, in Anxi Mansion, so in Zhao Chen's opinion, in fact, at most, it is enough to dispatch two imperial garrisons on Anxi Road, but it is really not good, that is, it is good to transfer one of Cao Xun and Gao Zhenzhong. There is no need to dispatch the second person of the Great Song military.

Yang Yan nodded and said, "Yes, this matter must be encountered again?" ”

※※Support original ※"Song Xiang" is in ※Support genuine※※

The Jiankang Imperial Court issued an order to appoint Bi Zaiyu as the head of the soldiers and horses of Anxi Road, and paid the responsibility of sending troops from Anxi Road to enter the land of Guanzhong, and Gao Zhen replaced Bi Zaiyu as the head of the soldiers and horses of Huainan West Road. After the tasks and orders issued by the Privy Council arrived in Haozhou, Bi Zaiyu immediately handed over the official duties to Gao Zhen, and then immediately reorganized the personnel and prepared to drive out of Anxi Road.

Just when he was packing up and about to set off, someone suddenly came to report, saying that there was Yang Shumi's request to see him outside. Bi Zaiyu was slightly stunned, I don't know what happened to Yang Yan rushing here to find him at this time? Hurried out to meet him,

Bi Zaiyu and Yang Yan met when they were not famous, although the two did not have much contact, but they both had the ambition to restore the Central Plains, and when the Jin army invaded the south, the two also fought side by side for a time, and they admired each other's abilities very much, so Guan Yi was good.

After the two sat down, Yang Yancai said: "Brother Deqing, this time I went to Anxi Road to quell the chaos and this time, I have to take you to go, do you think it's overkill." ”

In the order of the Privy Council, there is also a secret order, so Bi Zaiyu is also clear about the actual task of this westward trip, so he said with a smile: "The order is forbidden, it is the true character of a martial artist, and it is not only for the imperial court, but also for the size of the matter." Zihao said this, he underestimated me too much? ”

Yang Yan also smiled and said: "It's not a secret, this time Brother Deqing went to Anxi Road, which was the result of my recommendation to the emperor." In fact, I naturally know that just to quell the counter-rebellion on Anxi Road, there is no need for Brother Deqing to go out in person, just rely on the two imperial garrisons on Anxi Road. But I did it anyway, do you know why? ”

When Bi Zaiyu heard Yang Yan say this, he couldn't help but get solemn, thought about it, and arched his hand: "Please also ask Zihao for some advice." ”

Yang Yan said: "Brother Deqing went to Anxi Road this time, nominally by Anxi Road to send troops to enter the land of Guanzhong, but the troops are fake, and it is true to prepare to quell the chaos." ”

Bi Zaiyu nodded and said, "That's true, isn't there anything mysterious in this?" ”

Yang Yan said with a smile: "Naturally, there is another mystery, Brother Deqing has thought about it, once you succeed in quelling the chaos, what will you do?" ”

Bi Zaiyu's body was shocked, he is also a person who has experienced a hundred battles and is proficient in the art of war, after Yang Yan pulled it out slightly, he immediately understood, patted his thigh, and said: "After the rebellion is successfully quelled, the fake nature can become true." Zihao, you have a good trick to hide from the world. ”

The two of them glanced at each other and laughed in unison.

After laughing for a long time, the two of them finally suppressed their laughter, and Yang Yancai said: "Don't hide it from Brother Deqing, I think I have planned carefully, in the future, I will go on a northern expedition to the Central Plains in the Great Song Dynasty and recover the lost territory, so I should march together in three ways, march by sea, go ashore in Dengzhou, and capture the land of Shandong." One route was sent by Jianghuai to capture Wanluo and recover the old capital of Tokyo. Another way is to send troops from the northwest and enter the land of Guanzhong. At that time, it will be said that the Mongolian army will attack from the north and attack from the north and south, so why worry that the Jin State will not be broken. ”

Bi Zaiyu also slapped the table and laughed, and said: "Yes, in this way, my Great Song Dynasty will regain the lost land, return to the old capital, and chase the golden captive, and the shame before the snow will be said to be waiting." ”

Yang Yan continued: "All the way on the sea, there is Li Gongzuo who can serve as the first line, and I can lead the Jianghuai line, then the northwest side will be handed over to Brother Deqing." After Brother Deqing quelled the rebellion, he was stationed in Anxi, and when the time was ripe, he could gather the people of Anxi and Sichuan, and collect Qin Feng, Jingzhao, Yongxing Army and other places. Therefore, the overall situation of the northwest is all on the shoulders of Brother Deqing. ”

Bi Zaiyu was also very excited, when he first received this order and task, although he had no complaints, he also felt that letting himself put down the rebellion was indeed a bit of a knife to kill chickens. However, I thought that the court was cautious, so I was relieved. Unexpectedly, Yang Yan completed the layout preparation of the east and west lines of the Great Song Dynasty unknowingly, and at the same time gave himself such an important task, which was also a good opportunity to make contributions.

If the Northern Expedition of the Great Song Dynasty is in the future, it will definitely be Yang Yan who will preside over the overall use of troops, which even Bi Zaiyu himself has no objection to, thinking that there is no more suitable person than Yang Yan. But in this way, Yang Yan will inevitably sit on the front line of Jianghuai to control the overall situation. And he is now guarding Jianghuai, although it is also a strategic place, but in the Northern Expedition later, he can only become a general of Yang Yan's subordinates like Cao Xun, Gao Zhen and others, so that the merits he can establish are limited after all.

Although Bi Zaiyu has been subservient to Yang Yan since his debut, he has always admired Yang Yan, and at the same time believes that Yang Yan's current status is completely due to his personal efforts, which is worthy of his name. This time, Yang Yan commanded the army and took over the land of Western Xia, and established a meritorious achievement that had never been made since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, so he was able to serve as a military general and serve as a privy deputy envoy. And Bi Zaiyu is not jealous of Yang Yan's exceptional promotion, on the contrary, he still admires it sincerely, but in his heart, he always hopes that there will be a chance, so that he can also have a chance to let go of his hands and feet and show his talents.

The garrison of Anxi Road is different, although Anxi Road is remote, the strategic position of the Guanzhong region is not as good as the Central Plains, and in the overall situation, it is still controlled by Yang Yan, but in fact, the entire southwest is in charge of itself, completely independent combat, and at the same time it is also the commander of the control of Anxi, Lizhou two lines of people, in the twelve imperial garrisons, occupy five, and at the same time the achievements are also completed by themselves. This is also the opportunity that Bi Zaiyu has been longing for. Therefore, my heart is naturally very excited.

Although Bi Zaiyu and Yang Yan have a good relationship, they also know that in terms of personal relationships, they are still not as good as Cao Xun and Gao Zhen, not to mention that Yang Yan's cousin Yang Changpeng is stationed on Anxi Road, and Yang Yan did not give them such an opportunity, but recommended himself to the imperial court, which naturally made Bi Zaiyu very grateful. Therefore, he said generally: "Zihao, please rest assured, I will definitely live up to the expectations of the imperial court, defend the northwest for the Great Song Dynasty, and enter Guanzhong." ”

Yang Yan also nodded and said, "I also know that among the generals of the Great Song Dynasty, only Brother Deqing can be qualified for this responsibility, and I believe that Brother Deqing will definitely not disappoint the imperial court." ”

In fact, as early as after receiving the Western Xia, Yang Yan formulated a grand strategic plan for the three-way Northern Expedition, and the northwest line was far away from Jiankang, the news transmission was inconvenient, and the imperial court could not command remotely, so there must be a capable general in charge. At the same time, Yang Yan also thought that once the Jin State was defeated, the Great Song Dynasty and the Mongolian Guanxi would develop in that direction, and it was difficult to say, so this general still had the task of guarding against Mongolia in the future, so he must be a person who has experienced a hundred battles, is proficient in the art of war, and can take charge of himself.

Yang Yan himself is of course the most suitable candidate, but among the three lines, except for the one that excludes the waterway, he can only command the first line in the east and west lines, and it can only be sitting on the eastern front, because the eastern front is the main battlefield, and he is here, Zhao Chen and the important ministers of the court can rest assured. Second, it is good to grasp the overall situation remotely.

So among the current generals of the Great Song Dynasty, except for Yang Yan himself, only Bi Zaiyu is the most suitable candidate, Cao Xun, Gao Zhen and others do not have this ability. However, it was difficult for the Great Song Dynasty to launch a large-scale Northern Expedition for the time being, and it did not want to attract the attention of the Jin State, so it did not make a move, and this time he took advantage of the opportunity to quell the chaos to hide from the world and the sea, and completed this important personnel transfer while the Jin State was not paying attention. Therefore, Yang Yancai strongly recommended Bi Zaiyu to enter Anxi Road.

Zhao Chen didn't understand it at first, but after Yang Yan explained it to him clearly, he also appreciated it greatly, and immediately gave an order.

After Bi Zaiyu led the army into Anxi Road, the Jiankang court issued another order, ordering Fan Cheng to be an envoy to the Jin State to negotiate a proposal to redeem the lost land.
