Chapter 1119: Kind Words

There was a thunderous sound of horses' hooves on the road north of Gyeongju City, Liu Ziyu retracted his gaze looking at the snow scene, and straightened up, and the officials around Liu Ziyu also sorted out their clothes one after another, and they all looked in one direction. Yang Zhi, through this attack on Wuwon County, has left a huge shadow in the hearts of these officials of Huanqinglu and Gyeongju, a figure who has created miracles, and no one dares to despise him anymore.

On the horizon, there is a cloud, the color is not good-looking, in the sun all kinds of armor glowing with different luster, but in pieces floating, people have an indescribable pressure; Liu Ziyu nodded, from the report received earlier, he knew that Yang Zhi came with more than 20,000 cavalry, this alone made the top and bottom of Gyeongju a little strange, Liu Ziyu secretly glanced at Fan Zhixu, who had already stepped off the carriage.

As Song Huizong's Qincha, it is said that Fan Zhixu, who still has some relationship with Yang Zhi, is undoubtedly the one with the highest position on the scene.

Obviously, seeing the crowd of people at the city gate, the galloping horse team slowly slowed down, and the 1,000 horsemen who opened the road spread out to both sides, making dozens of generals led by Yang Zhi stand out; Yang Zhi and the others instead accelerated their speed, and arrived at the city gate in an instant, Yang Zhi stopped his war horse in front of Fan Zhixu, and the hundreds of war horses behind him stopped almost at the same time, which made Liu Ziyu and Lu Fayuan very happy, and the officials around them cheered in unison.

Both of them are people who have done a long way, and they are used to seeing the elite drills of the Western Army, and the training of the Dingbei Army is more than one grade higher than that of the Western Army.

Wang Yu's face twitched slightly beside Yang Zhi, this kind of formation is not good for him, the most important thing is that Wang Yu knows that the cavalry commanded by Yang Yizhong is not a showmanship, and when he faces life and death, it is even more terrifying than now. In Wuyuan County, Wang Yu had seen the deadly strength of this cavalry in battle, and the opponents who fought with them were almost all wandering around the ghost gate.

Seeing Yang Zhi jumping off the horse and striding forward Fan Zhixu, Wang Yu followed and dismounted, half a step behind and walked up; Yang Zhi's eyes were like electricity, he glanced at Liu Ziyu in the crowd, and arched his hand towards Fan Zhixu and Lu Fayuan: "There are two adults to greet each other." ”

"It should. Fan Zhixu said with a warm smile on his face: "Lord Yang has won again in the north this time, so that Xixia does not dare to face up to my Great Song Dynasty, and greatly boosts the hearts of the army, I have already written to the Holy Lord to report the good news." ”

Yang Zhi was not only a great general on the battlefield, but also a good hand in developing the local economy; Fan Zhixu had been an official for so many years, not to mention anything else, and he was still clear about the ability of the officials of the Great Song Dynasty; at present, Shaanxi is in ruins, and his two successes in Wuyuan County have greatly reduced the risks both politically and economically. Looking at Wang Yu, who was half a step behind Yang Zhi, Fan Zhixu also complimented him.

Lu Fayuan paid more attention to the movements of Yang Zhi's subordinates, and sure enough, there were no weak soldiers under the strong generals, and the troops led by Yang Zhi were completely different from the Western Army in terms of temperament, and they were also different from the Huanqing Army trained by Wang Yu. I have to say that this Wang Yu is a capable general, but Lu Fayuan felt Wang Yu's helplessness in comparison.

Yang Zhi didn't seem to notice Lu Fayuan and Wang Yu's emotions, and still smiled at Fan Zhi: "Thank you for your kindness, this time the adults and Lu are here just in time, if it is really to deal with Western Xia, we can discuss the things we have to see if the imperial court and the Yongxing military road can give us a little help." ”

Fan Zhixu was okay, he went to Gyeongju with part of Song Huizong's promise, but as a wife to appease the deputy envoy, Lu Fayuan couldn't express his position, so he had to say implicitly: "If Lord Yang has any orders, the lower officials must convey them to Lord Wang." ”

Yang Zhi smiled slightly and said: "Lord Lu, don't be anxious, this official will not mention anything that can't make you embarrassed, Chang'an and Qinzhou are both part of Shaanxi, so you can't even do normal trade." Master Fan came from Runzhou alone, and even if he reached any agreement with us, he still had to pass through the ground in Chang'an. ”

Lu Fayuan knew that Yang Zhi was saying kind words, the Yellow River waterway was in the hands of the Dingbei Army, and most of the materials that went to Qinzhou actually did not pass through Chang'an; Lu Fayuan suddenly saw Fan Zhixu's profound vision, and his heart moved, the materials transferred by Fan Zhixu would not go like this, whether they were transported by Cao or by land from Henan, they would have to pass through Chang'an. Fan Zhixu brought himself for no reason, and Yang Zhi was not without purpose. Thinking about these clearly, Lu Fayuan was in a much better mood, and said with a smile: "If the two adults have any arrangements, as long as they are within the scope of the lower officials' authority, they will definitely be convenient." ”

Several people laughed knowingly, Yang Zhi made a gesture, and the cavalry that had been parked on the road immediately began to march into the city; Yang Zhi and Wang Yu rode on their war horses, and Fan Zhixu and others got into the carriage and entered the city together; at this moment, Fan Zhixu only wanted to know one thing, whether there was any mystery in Wang Yu's book. If Wang Yu did it on purpose, there would be nothing, otherwise Yang Zhi used Wang Yu's letter to plan a big war, but this kind of victory has little to do with Wang Yu, and I am afraid it is really aggrieved for Wang Yu.

Sitting in the Qingyang Mansion, there were only two people in the room, Fan Zhixu and Yang Zhi, Fan Zhixu raised his head: "I heard that the livestock and green and white salt obtained this time are several times that of the last time, and the captured war horses are said to be as many as 20,000. ”

Yang Zhi said to Fan Zhixu: "Lord Fan, this is a fluke, at the moment, in order to reinforce Wuyuan County, Brother Richard has mobilized 80,000 cavalry reinforcements at once, which is not something that our army can meet, so it is the same as the last time, so there is not much loss." To tell the truth, with the support that the imperial court can give to our army, we can only toss with the Western Xia army now, slowly consuming the strength of the opponent; I wonder when the first batch of grain and grass will arrive?"

Fan Zhixu was only dumbfounded, Runzhou planned all the way, and he was not even sure about three months of grain and grass, and his answer to himself was that only Bashu could transport grain and grass to Yang Zhi for two months; Fan Zhixu knew that now was not his chance to get out, and said unhurriedly: "Lord Yang, don't worry, I will send the third month's food in two months, what I want to know is what happened to Wang Yu?"
