It is a joke to sit and watch Yan Zongwang's withdrawal, as long as the Song army has not yet reached the account of Yan Zongwang's Chinese army, or has beaten Yan Zongwang painfully, Wan Yan Zongwang will definitely not withdraw the army; on the big chessboard of the Song and Jin countries, the Jin army still maintains the offensive, compared to before the Jin army sent troops, whether it is in Henan, Shandong, Xuzhou, or Yunzhong, the Jin army has occupied many cities, and Yang Zhi only recovered Luoyang conquered by the Jin army this time.

It's just that he ate 80,000 horses at once, so that the Jin army is a little afraid to underestimate, judging from Wanyan Zongwang's adjustment, the Jin army seems to be ready to acquiesce to this situation in a short period of time;

As the brother of Wanyan Zongwang, Yang Zhi has actually been paying attention to Wanyan Zongwang and Jin Wushu, especially in the more than a year when they were under house arrest with Wanyan Aguta, Yang Zhi not only asked Wang Laozhi to contact the ascetic people to inquire about the news, but also arranged for Yeluzhen and others to explore the ideas of the two forces of the Jin Kingdom, and even thought about using this opportunity to disintegrate Jinting.

In the end, it was Wanyan Zongwang who made Yang Zhi give up this idea, and according to all the intelligence, Wanyan Zongwang had been studying during his house arrest, and asked Wanyan Zonggan, who was ruling in Youzhou, to send a large number of books. This is completely different from Wanyan Zongwang's performance on the battlefield, Yang Zhi can't guess it, so he doesn't want to take risks; but after Wanyan Zongwang came back, he recruited a good monk and others, Yang Zhi felt a little bad, if Wu Qimai could rest assured of Wanyan Zongwang's behavior, then Wanyan Zongwang wanted to be a good monk and the others had to do to deal with the Great Song Dynasty.

Since Jin Ting did not set up a good monk as the king, then the use of a good monk can only be the means of the rivers and lakes, and the means of the rivers and lakes in the two armies are nothing more than assassinating the opponent's generals, plus Guo Jing's threat, so Yang Zhi reminded Zhao Kai and Yue Fei and others early on to beware of the assassins of the Jin State. Yang Zhi arranged for Kou Yi and Wushen and others to observe the movements of the Jin army and the situation in the rivers and lakes of Hebei, and also asked Ji Wuliu to send a letter to the good monk, hoping that the good monk would return south to the Great Song Dynasty.

It's just that there is no news from all sides now, and Yang Zhi can only wait patiently, Zhai Xing's request for help makes Yang Zhi have a bad premonition, Wanyan Zongwang is likely to take advantage of this matter and want to force his army to go to Bianliang. Yang Zhi knew that Zhai Xing insisted on not leaving, because that was the foundation of the Zhai family, just like the folding family in Fuzhou. But if Zhai Xing doesn't leave this time, something is likely to happen, and Wanyan Zongwang may not be able to eliminate the Zhai family's army, but there may be a way to kill Zhai Xing.

Old-fashioned methods are often effective, because Zhao Gou and others are now overwhelmed, and the slightest gap in struggle is good, if Zhai Xing dies, Zhao Gou will definitely make a big fuss, and public opinion will force him. Thinking of this, Yang Zhi said to Zhang Xi: "Inform Zhai Xing, lead the main force to Luoyang, and arrange for other generals to command the troops left in Yiyang." ”

Zhang Xi was stunned: "Yang Shuai, this is impossible, Zhai Xing will not listen to you, if Zhai Jiajun does this, Zhai Xing will not be Zhai Xing." ”

Zhai Xing, as one of the few generals under King Kang, naturally would not listen to himself, Yang Zhi took a long breath, without the slightest intention of force, and told Zhang Xi: "Feel free, but you and Dong Xian are going in and out now, you must bring more guards, there is nothing special, don't leave Luoyang City and the military camp; ”

Xu Wen had seen what it meant to be assassinated in Qinzhou, whether it was the subordinates of King Yun and King Kang, or the spies of Jin State and Western Xia, it was impossible to prevent it, and now the army already had a set of standardized measures, and immediately agreed; Liu Zhengyan was even more cautious since Miao Fu fled north, and said with a smile: "Yang Shuai rest assured, if Wanyan Zongwang dares to send people, I must make sure that they will not return." ”

Zhang Xi finally understood Yang Zhi's words, and said in surprise: "You mean that Zhai Xing has spies around him?"

Yang Zhi said: "I have no evidence. ”

Zhang Xi has nothing to say, the relationship between Yang Zhi and Zhai Xing is not good, the relationship between King Yun and King Kang is still competitive, if Yang Zhi has news of Zhai Xing, it is really sensational; Yang Zhi smiled and said: "Zhang Xi, don't care too much, we just do our best, we have to consider the possibility of sending troops to Bianliang alone." ”

Sending troops alone, the 300,000 Jinqi coalition army is not something that the 120,000 people in Luoyang can resist, Zhang Xi couldn't help but look at Yang Zhi, to judge whether Yang Zhi really has this intention, or to take care of his own face and talk casually; Yang Zhi didn't care about Zhang Xi's doubts, and continued: "As long as Zhai Xing is defeated, the morale of Yingchang Mansion will drop to a low point, even if King Kang says to dispatch at the same time as us, we can't count on them. ”

This is not surprising, Yang Zhi has never been willing to fight with an untrusting army is already famous all over the world, even in the Dingbei Army, Yang Zhi has not changed such a style; Zhang Xi smiled bitterly: "Yang Shuai, can this matter really happen, now it makes me very embarrassed, no, you want me to remind King Kang and Zhai Xing." ”

After all, Zhang Xi sent letters to Yiyang and Yingchang, and King Kang's reply to Zhao Gou was very simple, just four words and nonsense; Zhai Xing didn't reply at all, he had just been appointed by King Kang as the envoy of the Yellow River North Road and the martial arts doctor, how could he leave a handle for something unclear, so that King Kang suspected that he was a wall grass.

Zhang Xi couldn't cry or laugh when he received King Kang's letter, he knew very well that if this situation was a little longer, his contact with King Kang would be severed sooner or later; but Dong Xian and the others were convinced by Yang Zhi, even if they did not directly express their stance to join the Dingbei Army, but they did not think about the current situation. Only Hu Songnian has approached Zhang Xi a few times, as King Kang's eyes and ears, Hu Songnian is still dutiful, coming forward for King Kang, and analyzing Yang Zhi's ideas contains ulterior purposes.

However, Zhai Xing's bad news came in less than ten days, and the Jin army and the signing army were perfect this time, breaking through the ancient village of Yiyang in less than three days, and then following Zhai Xing's army to bite the death; Zhai Xing led the army to fight with the enemy for many days, and finally fell from his horse in front of the battle, and was assassinated by his general Yang Wei. Of the tens of thousands of troops, only Zhai Cong led more than 10,000 elites to break through, and Zhai Xing's two sons, one daughter, two concubines, and his cousin Cui San and others were all killed.
