Zhao Kai must not agree with this opinion, in this way, this western expedition is tantamount to getting out of his control, in case he is dissatisfied with Yang Zhi's arrangement, he has no chance to make adjustments. It's just that this time Yang Zhi's attitude was extremely resolute, even in the face of Zhao Kai himself, Yang Zhi still refused to back down, pointing out that this was the condition that the two had agreed on.

The matter of the tripartite alliance is like a thorn, pierced in the hearts of the Dingbei army, even if they know that Zhang Xiaochun's father and son were finally pursued by Zhang San and led by the cavalry, and only fled to Hebei with more than ten horsemen, most people still think that the Dingbei army has not found out. Yang Zhi's worries come from this, besides, the Guo family is also a businessman, if they see the Taiping Firm and they make a lot of money, it is not impossible to get some flowers and essences.

Zhao Kai was furious, under the persuasion of Concubine Guo, Zhao Kai still asked Yue Fei and Zhu Wu, both of whom thought that they were not capable of handling the entire battle situation, Yue Fei's words were more straightforward, he could charge into battle, he didn't care about life and death, but he had to consider the operation of the entire Shaanxi, he couldn't, no one except Yang Zhi. This made Zhao Kai even more angry, and he wanted to take Zhang Shen as the commander and completely replace the people on Yang Zhi's side.

However, Zhang Shen consciously excused himself and directly wrote a letter to accuse him, and did not even come to Qinzhou; Zhang Shen knew his own weight, and Yang Zhi felt that he was not sure of something, and it was not to seek death by going by himself, and besides, would the group of arrogant soldiers under Yang Zhi be easy to lead? In the end, he learned that Zhao Kai had chosen Sun Ang, and let Sun Ang and Li Yanxian be responsible for attacking Xingzhou on two fronts, and Qu Duan would be responsible for the response; Fan Zhixu was frightened and came to see Zhao Kai overnight to dissuade him.

Fan Zhixu knew that this was not a matter of anger, in case Sun Ang failed, and tens of thousands of soldiers were killed, the good situation of the Dingbei Army might be in vain. And Zhao Kai's attitude will make Yang Zhi and others even more chilling, they don't plan to send troops, but they don't want Zhao Kai to meddle in specific matters, it's no problem to say anywhere, since ancient times, they will not be subject to the orders of foreign monarchs.

Fan Zhixu said in the end: "King Yun, think about it, even if Yang Zhi takes the initiative to resign and return to Jiangnan with the princess, what will happen, how will the soldiers think of you, and how will the people of the world talk about the Northern Army?"

Zhao Kai was frightened and shocked, he could imagine that kind of scene, who didn't know that because Yang Zhi fought Hedong for the Dingbei Army, and then marched to Guanzhong and Gyeonggi, and returned to Shaanxi, he fought back step by step in Western Xia. If such a person is not used for himself, he will end up in disgrace, so who else will come to him; at present, he has not yet occupied an absolute advantage over Zhao Qi and Zhao Gou, and if he makes such a mistake, he is asking for trouble.

Zhao Kai was originally an extremely smart person, and immediately changed his mind and asked Yang Zhi to inform him to send troops immediately, and he would not care about any details; just such a delay, sending troops has become a matter known to everyone in the world, and there is no talk of secrecy and surprise effects at all.

Yang Zhi didn't care about the leakage of the expedition date, at this point, Xixia and himself were already playing a clear card, and the next step was just to see who did better. Yang Zhi still has Zhang Huyi in his hand, Yang Zhi believes that even if Zhang Huyi has not expressed his position until now, when the soldiers are in the city, Zhang Huyi will still play his due role. schoolbag

Yang Zhi naturally would not be stupid to send Zhang Shiheng back again; people will inevitably hesitate at the critical moment, even if Zhang Shiheng has his heart towards the Great Song Dynasty, he will be coerced by Zhang Huyi or anyone else in the Zhang family, after all, no one knows whether Song Huizong can let go of the Zhang family. This is Yang Zhi's difficulty, if Yang Zhi doesn't care about the life or death of the Zhang family, and tells Zhao Kai about Zhang Huyi, how to deal with Song Huizong's father and son. But Yang Zhi didn't want to do this, if someone returned to obedience and died, then when the Northern Expedition to the Jin Kingdom was in the future, no one would turn against him.

But Yang Zhi can't fully believe or pin the result on Zhang Huyi, the prestige of the Paradise Hall is far away, but in this almost a year of fighting, it seems that he has not shown the strength he should have. Yang Zhi didn't dare to hope that Zhang Huyi could control Jile Tang, Zhang Huyi was Han after all, and Yang Zhi believed that the party members would not be without prevention.

The opportunity left by Yang Zhi is the prodigal son Yan Qing, Yan Qing assists Wu Song in Xining Prefecture, and Zhang Huyi is not too convenient if he wants to contact him. Yang Zhi hoped that Zhang Huyi would show his attitude before sending troops, even if it was a scam, at least he could get some news, and if there was no news until Yue Fei arrived at the front line, Yang Zhi was not prepared to change it.

And after a few days in Qinzhou, he finally got Yang Zhi's reception, Yang Zhi saw a little discouraged and said: "I understand your intention, it's just that a few days ago, King Yun planned to change people, I don't see you because you don't want everyone to waste time and expression." Now that King Yun has decided, I am still in charge of the overall situation, and I will talk to you about my heart; I heard that you have come to King Yun to state your plans, which shows that your vision is far inferior to that of Chongbin, and you may belong to the kind of enemy of ten thousand people on the battlefield, but it is far from enough to face the overall situation. ”

"Why?" Chong Yan was also very curious, he thought that he would be praised by Zhao Kai after speaking, but he didn't expect Zhao Kai to be stunned for a moment, so he asked him to quit; Yang Zhi said coldly: "King Yun doesn't think that there is anything wrong with the strategy originally formulated by the Fu Division, what he is worried about is that the Transshipment Division has become an affiliate of the firm, and he cannot control the materials. But you have to suggest increasing the range of troops, do you think King Yun can agree? This supply of men and horses is already in contention, how can there be other supplies. ”

Chong Yan opened his mouth and smiled, he is not a stupid person, the seed family is a generation of famous generals, how can Chong Yan not understand the soldiers and horses before the grain and grass are moved, but from the perspective of ordinary people, he did not find the difficulty of material supply; Yang Zhizheng said: "Transferring you to participate in the expedition is a plan that the princess has made before she comes, you just need to ask Chong Bin." I don't want my subordinates to have the habit of overstepping their ranks, especially when they go to the front line, you don't even need to care about me here, you can mention Yue Fei if you are not convinced, you can go to the book, but Yue Fei's command on the front line must be obeyed 100%. ”

Chong Yan smiled bitterly and said: "The eldest brother has already written to say this, but Yang Shuai, you know, my cavalry has been divided into half of the eldest brother, and now if you go on the expedition, you can only mix infantry and cavalry." ”

Yang Zhi glared at him: "This is no problem, you are no longer the commander of the cavalry, you are now the governor of Weizhou, you were originally in charge of the Ma Bu Army, and the foundation of the infantry army in Weizhou is not bad, you will go back tomorrow, seize the time to gather the troops, and don't delay the expedition." ”
