However, Yang Zhi did not succeed the next day, because Fan Zhixu was ill and arrived in Chang'an, and Song Huizong sent someone to send a letter to Fan Zhixu, hoping that Fan Zhixu would do his best to persuade the Dingbei Army to send troops as soon as possible, but Fan Zhixu knew that Yang Zhi was in charge of the war in the river and had no ability to go to Bianliang at all. Fan Zhixu met Yang Zhi because he wanted to do his part.

After several years of war, Fan Zhixu has understood that it is easy to get a thousand troops and it is difficult to find a general, compared to Bianliang's side, Yang Zhi is always better than Zhang Jun and others who have lost their spirit, even if Yang Zhi is willing to go alone, in Fan Zhixu's heart, Bianliang's situation will be a little better. Yang Zhi heard Fan Zhixu's suggestion, and smiled helplessly and said: "Fan Lao thinks too highly of me, my current ability, guarding Guanzhong is enough to be proud." ”

Fan Zhixu understood the disappointment of the Dingbei Army to Zhao Gou's army, and Yang Zhi's refusal to take the risk was expected, Fan Zhixu's eyes flashed and asked, "Does Yang Shuai think that the Dingbei Army can't do without you?"

Listening to Fan Zhixu's words, Yang Zhi had mixed feelings, Yang Zhi knew that the sadness and anxiety in Fan Zhixu's mind really existed, but Yang Zhi also knew that Fan Zhixu's position was completely different from his own. Yang Zhi smiled slightly and said, "We have a sub-analysis report on Bianliang, Fan Lao, do you want to take a look?"

Fan Zhixu stared at Yang Zhi, slightly fluctuating, the Department of Supervision and Military Affairs has close contacts with various yamen in Shaanxi, Fan Zhixu has heard about this report for a long time, and now Yang Zhi has taken the initiative to mention it, there must be a reason. Fan Zhixu's eyes narrowed, and he asked softly, "Is there anything I need to know?"

Yang Zhi nodded: "Fan Lao should have heard that the merchant team under King Kang is among them, and he has connections with the Jin State. There is also Qin Hui, he didn't flee back, he should have another purpose, now that King Kang is weak, they may not make any moves, but once the decisive battle is held, it is likely that there will be a moth. I think Hangzhou's reluctance to send troops is almost the same consideration. ”

Yang Zhi's words were like a thunderbolt from the sky, shocking Fan Zhixu's eyes. He looked at Yang Zhi with his mouth open, and shook his head again and again: "This, this, impossible." ”

"I don't even believe what I said, you will hand over thousands of troops and horses to me, Fan Lao, won't I be a fool, right?" Yang Zhi's voice was very low, and his laughter was full of anger: "Fan Lao, each party has its own arrangements, so don't be busy and make trouble." Western Xia will definitely fall, and it is superfluous to distract the attention of the Dingbei army now. ”

Fan Zhixu's body shrank back slightly, and said with a smile: "Yang Shuai, I just went to the doctor in a hurry, but you don't need to think so much, I don't have great wisdom, the only little cleverness is used where it should be used, you can't get rid of the predicament in front of King Yun, but I can." ”

Yang Zhi sneered, Fan Zhixu suddenly realized that he was a little frightened, Yang Zhi said slowly: "The person who came this time is Ma Shen, right? He is a fool, you should tell him that he doesn't need to see himself as a tragic figure, no one owes him." From the day Zhang Bangchang became emperor, these people who were hypocrites were not trustworthy. ”

"Just your ruthlessness will make people more scruples. Fan Zhixu sighed, Fan Zhixu knew in his heart that Ma Shen's actions couldn't hide from Yang Zhi at all, and now Yang Zhi made it clear that he just didn't want to talk to himself anymore. Fan Zhixu's face was red for a while, but he couldn't say a word for a while, he thought of Ma Shen's words, and was even more worried that Yang Zhi had already known what Ma Shen was planning, and the anxiety in his eyes was inadvertently revealed.

Fan Zhixu took a deep breath and nodded silently, he understood that Yang Zhi must have something to say; Yang Zhi said slowly: "Old Fan, you made a mistake, the Holy Lord sent Ma Shen here, it does not mean that you agree with the opinions brought by Ma Shen, what the Holy Lord needs is to defeat the Jin Kingdom, not to hold Bianliang, those who are still advocating peace now have the possibility of surrendering to the enemy at any time." ”

Fan Zhixu's face changed greatly, and it was Ma Shen who brought a plan to keep the peace between Bianliang, and it was the idea of King Kang and Liang Yangzu, and it is said that Zhao Ding was resolutely opposed; Yang Zhi finally made it clear that Fan Zhixu could only get up and leave. The belief that he had worked so hard to support was doubted, and the pressure on Fan Zhixu's body suddenly increased, making him even weaker, and finally arrived in front of Zhao Jinluo, Fan Zhixu asked: "Princess, now you can tell me, why do you have to let me come here?"

"Because, because no one wants to have a grandmaster-level enemy like Yang Zhi, they are even more worried about what unknown means he has. Zhao Jinluo looked at Fan Zhixuan and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said in a trembling voice: "People like Yang Zhi are either friends or killed." ”

"It's really ruthless. Fan Zhixu sighed and said: "Now the princess must be extremely happy, Yang Zhi doesn't even come up with an idea, which means that he is helpless, this is the first time I have seen such a situation in a few years." Princess, I don't care who is behind you, but I believe it will never be a saint, and you tell him that Yang Zhi thinks the same way, so no matter what choice Yang Zhi makes, you can only watch. ”

"Fan Xiang!" Zhao Jinluo said in a trembling voice, looking at Fan Zhixu beggingly, Fan Zhixu's eyes showed helplessness: "I came forward because I was afraid that you would cause trouble, and now I have tried my best." I don't know whether my decision is good or bad for the Great Song Dynasty, if you don't want to be the same as Qinzong, you must make the choice that is most in the interests of the Great Song Dynasty. Zhao Kai and Yang Zhi know better than the people behind you that when victory is in sight, it is often a time of defeat, so they have always walked on thin ice and compromised when needed. Who's the master of escorting you?"

Since Song Huizong agreed to Zhao Jinluo's coming, he must have made proper arrangements; Fan Xiao, wearing the armor of an ordinary soldier, came in from outside the door and saluted and said, "I have seen Fan Xiang." ”

Fan Zhixu shook his head and said: "I am no longer the prime minister, I am just an old man who is retired in the northwest." Fan Xiao, I am afraid that Yang Zhi knows all your identities, I just want to ask, are you an official or an identity in the rivers and lakes? Don't say anything about both, it is a happy enmity and enmity in the peaceful period, the two countries are fighting, and the rivers and lakes and the court are completely different things. ”

Fan Yu thought for a while and said, "The identity of the official, Fan Xiangquan can tell Yang Zhi." Regardless of grievances or personal beliefs, I am a Song person, and I oppose the practice of voluntarily abandoning Hebei. ”

Zhao Jinluo stood up in shock: "Fan Xiao, are you going to betray us?"

Fan Xiao shook his head and said: "Princess, Yang Zhi and his master are bitter people, I don't know how many people are arranged in Jinguo, this kind of thing that is discussed in Hebei Prefecture and County, can he not know?"
