This is a very valuable clue, Yang Zhineng walked around Liaoyang and came back safe and sound, which is an amazing thing in itself, after the news came out in Hanerzhuang, there were more than a dozen versions in one day. Li Wanhua sold more than 20 horses in Hanerzhuang, all of which were war horses of the Jin army, and to Bashili's surprise, he saw several war horses of heavy cavalry; Bashili also did business with the Jin State, so he naturally knew what the heavy cavalry meant to the Jin State.

Yang Zhi came back and killed so many cavalry of the Jin Kingdom, which was the reason why Bashili tried his best to go with Yang Zhi, and now that he can hear such news, he naturally will not let it go; Yang Zhi sighed and said: "I was originally going to assassinate a high-ranking official of the Jin Kingdom, and I followed Wu Qimai and Zong Han, but the attitude of the masters around the two finally gave up this plan. ”

Yang Zhi and Bashili have never met, and they have always felt that Bashili is moving with him for a purpose, and now is the time for the Liao army to move, according to Bashili's ability, he can completely follow an army that goes back to urge food, and it is definitely safer than going all the way with himself. So listening to Bashili's question, Yang Zhi subconsciously made up a lie, a lie that is not easy for outsiders to debunk.

Bashili laughed, raised his head and drank the wine in the cup, no matter what Yang Zhi said was true or not, he actually couldn't verify it; in an instant, Bashili had many doubts in his heart before, and suddenly had an epiphany, the young man in front of him was destined to be a legend, and he was a headache for Jin Guo. Bashili put down his glass and said: "Yang Zhi, you are a disaster for the Jurchens, it was like this in the past, it is like this now, and I am afraid it will be like this in the future." ”

Yang Zhi asked with a smile, "Are you complimenting me?"

Bashili poured a full cup of wine for himself, clinked glasses with Yang Zhi and said: "I am a businessman, but I can understand that the two countries compete for power, and if you don't kill me, I will kill you, so even if you kill countless people and your hands are covered with blood, you will not go to hell." ”

Yang Zhi smiled happily and teased: "If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell." Sometimes it's the will of God, in Liaoyang, I have been in danger many times, and often at critical moments, there are nobles to help, and you have also seen my friends, like you, are my nobles. ”

Bashili asked with interest: "Nobleman, what kind of noble man am I, you are my nobleman, and now I am not relying on your prestige to return to Youzhou." ”

Bashili behaved like this, what else could Yang Zhi say, Yang Zhi spread his hands and said: "I just heard Sha Jing talk about a Han man in the Western Regions yesterday, I didn't expect to meet you today, what are you not my noble?"

"Maybe it's just a straw. Bashili was in a very calm mood, and even had some hope for the name: "What does that Han man do?"

Yang Zhi said lightly: "His name is Chao Gai, and he once stayed in the Dunhuang Desert Temple. ”

Although Dunhuang is a little far away from Gaochang, it is the same as Gaochang, it is an important town on the road to the Western Regions, Bashili has traveled south and north, and may not have heard of this temple; if Bashili really does not know, Yang Zhi will also forget it. Bashli asked curiously, "Your friend?"

"No, it's just that this person suddenly disappeared out of thin air and never saw a trace, and I can't treat him as dead. Yang Zhi said innocently: "So if I have the opportunity, I always inquire." ”

"It seems that we are really destined. Bashili said, "I met Chao Gai, it was a year ago, he returned to the Central Plains through Datong Mansion, he sent the relics of the Damo Temple to the Lulin Temple in Datong, that day he sent the relics back, and a monk accompanied him, and we drank together; by the way, the monk who accompanied him was called Ruan Xiaowu. ”

Yang Zhi's hand paused slightly, monk, how can it be Ruan Xiaowu, if the flower monk Lu Zhishen is more normal, but Bashili said Ruan Xiaowu's name, making Yang Zhi believe that seeing Chao Gai, it was not Bashili's perfunctory words. The reason why Bashili told all of them was to see Yang Zhi's reaction, Yang Zhi's meal was clearly seen by Bashili, and Bashili immediately became interested: "What kind of character is this?

"A good man. Yang Zhi laughed: "But I don't know, it's a big shot." ”

If it is developed according to the script of Water Margin, Chao Gai is a big person, but real life is different from affirmation, Bashili disdainfully Yang Zhi's answer: "Yang Pavilion Master, I am listening, I didn't expect you to fool me like this." ”

"Basli, it's not that you're fooling, it's that the world is unpredictable. Yang Zhi said calmly: "I haven't seen this person, and I don't know how he is doing, so I can't make a judgment at all." It's just that this person can go to Dunhuang from the Central Plains, and if there is an accident in the Desert Temple, he can also send the relics to the Lulin Temple, how to say that he is also a powerful character. Now the situation in the Song, Liao, and Jin Kingdoms is complicated, and sometimes small people can do big things. ”

"The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind, I understand. Bashili's expression became serious: "The war in Liaojin cannot be ended for a long time, and it is destined to cause greater turmoil, but the longer the time drags on, the more the Great Song and Western Xia cannot ignore the changes in the northeast." The most unfavorable is our Great Liao, which lost the war with the Jin State and is deeply mired in internal and external troubles; the most advantageous is the Great Song Dynasty, which can compromise with the Liao State, or take advantage of the Liao State to take care of itself and have some fun, and no one can say the final situation, you think, Chao Gai is a chess piece that may produce changes. ”

The goal of the Great Song Dynasty for hundreds of years was the sixteen states of Yanyun, Bashili immediately smelled a strong smell of conspiracy, he was also a powerful person in Gaochang, and he was extremely worried about his family and country. Knowing that no matter whether the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty is a Ming monarch or a faint monarch, once he has the opportunity, he will not hesitate to pounce on him, although Zhao Ji of Song Huizong is a merry man, but after coming to power, the Song Dynasty's war against Western Xia has never stopped.

Liao and Western Xia, the same Song Dynasty did not stop watching, plus the Song Dynasty opened up to foreign peoples, the means of the two countries are endless, Liao Yanyun Palace, Xixia Paradise Hall is the most typical example, before the rise of the Jin State, the only task is to infiltrate the Central Plains. The Yang Zhi in front of him was the pavilion master of the Jizhou Pavilion of Yanyun Palace, and Bashili believed that Yang Zhi would not think of this person for no reason.

Yang Zhi nodded: "I was in Liaoyang this time, sneaked into Yang Pu's mansion, and heard Yang Pu and a person talking about Chao Gai, how could there be people who were inactive who could be put in the eyes of Yang Pu." ”
