Zhang Xi personally led the army north to meet and ushered in Zhai Cong's troops, after continuous bloody battles, now they have less than 9,000 people, but compared to their comrades who fell in a pool of blood forever, they are lucky enough. As Zhai Xing's eldest son, Zhai Cong has been following Zhai Xing everywhere in battles and has rich battlefield experience, and even when he arrived in Luoyang, Zhai Cong was very careful to place his army on a hill.

Yang Zhi knew Zhai Cong's thoughts very well, and was afraid that he would annex his troops in one bite, so he even saved his condolences and handed them all over to Zhang Xi and Hu Songnian to deal with, just providing a little grain and grass for Zhai Cong to go south to Yingchang Mansion as soon as possible; Zhang Xi came to Zhai Cong's camp with a sad face, looked at Hu Songnian who was coming towards him, and asked: "Zhai Cong still doesn't want to go south?"

Hu Songnian shook his head and said, "It's still like that, I want to take revenge on returning to Yiyang, and let you ask Yang Zhi for equipment." ”

"This is not good, even if these equipment are in the Dingbei Army, they are only available in the designated troops. Zhang Xi was really embarrassed, looked back at the towering Luoyang City in the distance, and sighed: "At this time and that time, Lord Hu, Yang Shuai can't provide food and grass for a long time, Zhai Cong can't stay here all the time, Zhai Jiajun has this little capital left, or go to King Kang's side for safety." ”

Hearing Zhang Xi's words, Hu Songnian was also deflated: "But Zhai Cong didn't mean that, what should we do?"

The two of them glanced at each other, both at a loss in their hearts, a few days ago they were still talking about Yang Zhi's alarmism, but in the blink of an eye, they became a proverb; the two walked around the small half of the hill with heavy steps, and when they arrived at Zhai Cong's camp, the soldiers were doing their own work, but they didn't have much energy. Seeing Zhang Xi and the others, many people showed a look of anticipation in their eyes, Zhai Cong's bearing was extraordinary, and he greeted him with a stern face and asked, "Yang Zhi disagrees?"

Zhang Xi shook his head and said: "Yang Zhi must know a lot of things, he should have his reasons for disagreeing, in fact, you don't need to get supplies from Luoyang, go south to Yingchang Mansion as soon as possible, King Kang will definitely arrange your troops." ”

Zhai Cong choked for a moment, just now he was still worried about this matter, even if Yang Zhi's attitude, in Zhai Cong's mind, Yang Zhi is still a little more reliable than King Kang; not because Yang Zhi can fight, but because Yang Zhi's attitude towards Zhai Jiajun, Zhai Cong knows about Zhang Xi's letter to remind him, but his father chose to turn a blind eye to King Kang's courtesy, and as a result, Zhai Jiajun ended up with his current fate.

Since his own breakthrough, Yang Zhi has let Zhang Xi and Dong Xian's two armies go north to respond, but King Kang has not even sent a messenger so far, Zhang Xi and Hu Songnian are now controlled by Yang Zhi, and they are no longer the spokesperson of King Kang, Zhai Cong has a vague feeling, King Kang just wants to let himself and Yang Zhi in Luoyang, it is best to have some contradictions or conflicts. Zhai Cong asked Zhang Xi in embarrassment: "What did King Kang say?"

Hu Songnian coughed, this is the most fatal, the letters between Luoyang and Yingchang Mansion go back and forth every day, but Zhai Cong has been in the past four days, and he and Yang Zhi and Zhang Xi have almost one official letter a day, and King Kang just has no reply; Hu Songnian naturally knows that now is the time when Zhai Jiajun is angry, and one to deal with the troops will cause unexpected changes. For example, Yang Zhi didn't want to incorporate Zhai Jiajun, but just to save face and let King Kang and Zhai Cong choose for themselves; if both of them were willing to stay in Luoyang, it was estimated that Yang Zhi would start to act immediately.

Zhai Cong saw Zhang Xi's cautious appearance, and pain flashed in his eyes and said: "At the beginning, my father refused to defend Luoyang, but it was Gu Quankang's plan. ”

If it weren't for the sudden appearance of Goulong Ruyuan under King Kang, his father would probably have adopted Yang Zhi's strategy, but Goulong Ruyuan brought King Kang's overall plan, and as a result, Zhai Jiajun chose to break through and abandon Luoyang, which resulted in the success of Yang Zhi and others, while Zhai's army was alone in Yiyang, and his father was defeated and died. It was about King Kang's reputation, Zhang Xi didn't dare to say much, so he casually entertained a few words, and left without thinking, leaving Hu Songnian, King Kang's henchman, alone.

Yang Zhi frowned, and his voice was low: "Zhang Xi, the whole incident has nothing to do with us, I should treat it as if I haven't heard about it and don't know about it; ”

"Are you afraid?" Zhang Xi looked at Yang Zhi and asked in a deep voice.

There was no one else in the room, Yang Zhi looked at the white walls around him and couldn't help but speak, some things can't be said at all, the so-called secret, naturally the less people know, the better, not to mention that although Zhang Xi is now his subordinate, he is not a general in the Dingbei Army. Yang Zhi hesitated for a long time before saying: "I can only tell you that regarding the destruction of the Zhai family's army, King Kang will definitely not allow the truth to be made public, and if the letter that King Kang gave you is not burned, send someone to send it back, and do not go through the hands of others." ”

"I see. Zhang Xi laughed hoho: "Yang Shuai, I originally thought that you would only fight and do business, but I didn't expect to be an official and a good hand, no wonder I heard that you and King Yun have always had conflicts, and King Yun didn't let you leave." I believe that I didn't burn it, so I will do as you say, but what about Zhai Cong?"

"Zhang Xi, I still want to tell you, no matter what, the Great Song Dynasty is Zhai Cong's country, unless he Zhai Cong wants to betray, no matter what, I hope Zhai Cong will not turn his back on the Great Song Dynasty. Yang Zhi's expression was very calm, looking like an old scholar lecturing in Guozijian, Zhang Xi laughed loudly: "Yang Shuai, are you afraid that Zhai Cong will take these brothers to vote for the Jinren and fight back in the future?"

"Yes. Yang Zhi nodded and said, "I don't want to see it, since Zhai Cong has arrived in Luoyang, all he can choose is to stay in Luoyang or go south." ”

"I don't think I need you anymore. Zhang Xi laughed out of tears: "Zhai Xing has a good relationship with Li Gang, and it is likely that he will go to Xiangyang." ”

Yang Zhi sighed: "If this is the case, Zhai Cong is making trouble for Li Gang and himself, King Kang will definitely say something else, at least he will accuse the two of forming a party; maybe Zhai Cong is still a little angry today, tomorrow you go again, I will give him fifty war horses, let him go south as soon as possible, and don't make any extraneous branches." ”

Zhang Xi was stunned, Yang Zhi's reminder has a twelve-point truth, Li Gang is not Yang Zhi, Li Gang, who is the pacification envoy of Huaixi, is actually controlled by Hangzhou, Li Gang must be no problem in small matters, but when it comes to forming a party, Li Gang may not be able to withstand it. Even if Li Gang doesn't care, Zhai Cong is likely to go to Huaixi and have to return to Yingchang Mansion, and at that time, Zhai Cong's life must be very sad.

Zhang Xi was stunned: "I understand, Yang Shuai, give me the war horse, and I will select fifty veterans for Zhai Cong." ”
