Yang Zhi smiled and said: "So I want Cao Qianli to do me a favor and let the Yuan family and the Guo family buy the cattle and sheep I shipped back." In addition, I plan to open a pawnshop on the edge of fresh fish and sheep, and then open a gold and silver shop in the clouds in the future. ”

Zhu Wu and the others understood, to put it bluntly, Yang Zhi was in charge of the procurement of cattle and sheep, and if the Yuan family and the Guo family wanted not to pay for nothing, they had to find a way to get materials from the south to Taiyuan to exchange; Zhu Wu knew that Cao Qianli and the two families would definitely do it, and no one could get along with money, especially in the face of people like King Yun. As for the pawnshop and gold and silver shop, that is, they are ready to open their own money bank, I am afraid that Yang Zhi did not think about the details for a while, so he slowed down.

Wang Laozhi shook his head and said: "Yang Zhi, you are becoming more and more cunning, and you didn't tell the truth in front of us, you are planning to expand externally, which piece are you going to fight to change the passive situation of Yingzhou?"

"Volcano Army. Yang Zhi understood that he couldn't hide it from Wang Laozhi, so he took a map and spread it out and said: "Once Western Xia decides to recover Xiazhou and other places, Yelu Yujian will definitely come to ask for help, anyway, I will send troops, I personally led the army to the Volcano Army, with Yue Fei's support in Shuozhou, there should be no problem." As long as the Volcano Army succeeds in establishing a state, even if Daizhou and Wuzhou are united, Western Xia will not be able to directly threaten Shuozhou in the future, and if necessary, it can also respond to the three states outside the river. ”

Yang Zhi said that the volcanic army is the history of Li Mu's prestige in the Linhu area, the Warring States period, the seven strong powerhouses, Zhao Wuling Wang north broke the Linhu, Lou annoyance, the forest and Lou two thousands of miles of land into their own territory, set up Yunzhong, Yanmen, Dai three counties to govern. When Zhao Xiaocheng became the king, Lin Hu came with the emerging Xiongnu with the crowd, and was not intended to be defeated by Zhao General Li Mu with a "strange array", since then Lin Hu's name has been lost in the annals of history, that territory Qin and Han belong to Taiyuan County, the Tang Dynasty is Lanzhou Yifang County, and Liu Chongzhi of the Northern Han Dynasty of the Five Dynasties is Xiongyong Town.

Song Taiping Xingguo built the Volcano Army in the seventh year, with Xiazhou, when the Volcano Army was just between Daizhou, Qizhou, Fuzhou and Fengzhou of the Great Song Dynasty, Fuzhou and Qizhou in the south, Daizhou in the southeast, and Fengzhou in the north. Lingxiongyong, Eccentric, Dongjia, Henggu, Juhua, and Water Protection Six Villages, Qingli Initial Leader Led the Town, Zhiping Four Years to Place Volcano County; Xining Four Years Abandoned, Belongs to Daizhou, Since then there is no garrison, only the Xixia Army is stationed in the village when grazing.

To the east of the Volcano Army was Shuozhou of the former Liao State, to the northwest were the four states of Hetao of the former Liao State, and to the west were Xiazhou, the barrier of Xijing and Xiping Prefecture of the Western Xia; the reason why the Xixia people had to destroy the Volcano Army in the first place was that this military state could influence the situation between the Hetao and Xiazhou, and they had to fight. In fact, it is also the case, less than five years after the volcano army gave up, the Western Xia army broke through Fengzhou and burned the city of Fengzhou, and the Great Song Dynasty was the seventh year of Jiayou to rebuild Fengzhou in the north of Luobochuan, Fuzhou, and governed Yong'an and Baoning Erzhai, and the north of Huozhou was the same as Huozhou, becoming a vacuum.

Yang Zhi is now unable to go north to forcibly take Datong, the Eastern Expedition is even more nonsense, and it is a possible choice to go west to the Volcano Army, this area does not need population, as the junction of the Song, Xia, Jin, and Dingbei armies, as long as Yang Zhi can gain a firm foothold, he can control the smuggling channels of the Quartet forces, and he can survive just by collecting taxes.

Yang Zhi described his own idea and said: "Fengzhou returned to the folded family, but the Tibetan talent clan in Hexi is still in Montenegro, there are more than 30 tribes in Tibet, and the Western Xia is a feud, in addition to the Wang family who has gone to Bianliang, there are more than 80,000 people, our task is to establish Fengzhou in Montenegro, establish contact with the Tibetan Cai people, and appease them in three ways, Fengzhou and Volcano can be used as their nomadic land, and those who are willing to sinicize can go to Shuozhou and Wuzhou as soldiers, and then march into Xiazhou.

I arranged for Cai Fu to take a caravan to Montenegro to do trade, Cai Fu did a good job, and the two largest of the tribal leaders Wang Shougu and Servant Guxuan have done business, Basi Xuanling is very familiar with most of the tribes of the Tibetan Cai tribe, and there are also a few chieftain friends, one of whom is named Lu Shuqiu, who clearly expressed his willingness to join, so we have a good chance of success. "Peerless Tang Gate fo

After Yang Zhi's introduction, Wang Laozhi and the three of them understood that there were not many choices for the Tibetan tribe, and they had not left Montenegro over the years, nothing more than that the environment of Montenegro could allow them to survive, so they only cooperated with the government that arrived in that area, except for the Western Xia;

Zhu Wu smiled and said: "Yang Zhi, Xiazhou is the gateway to Yinzhou, if we take it, the Western Xia people will come over like crazy, not that you and I can bear it; Jiashan used to be more convenient than us, Wanyan Gao will not let go of this opportunity, the Hetao war together, Datong can no longer afford to go south. ”

Yang Zhi said: "So we have to prepare in advance, I will let Ma Qin and Yi Mu Bai Da gradually transfer 2,000 soldiers to Shuozhou in the name of transporting grain and grass, and then I will lead 2,000 cavalry forward." This time, I left Zhang San, Han Tao, and Han Shizhong in Yingzhou in case of the unexpected, and then took it by surprise and created a fait accompli in Hetao. ”

Wang Laozhi asked Yang Zhi: "Have you thought clearly, if you fail and let the Jin army rush to Taiyuan, your original design will all fail, and you will become a laughing stock in the world." ”

Yang Zhi nodded and said, "I understand, but if that's the case, it's my fate." ”

Huan Kuaidao almost laughed angrily, and shouted angrily: "Yang Zhi, how old are you, you dare to say the word fate, throw away your feeling of having no last resort, even if you fail, you should make a comeback, as long as you don't die, you will fight with Jin Guo to the end, and fight until you breathe." Wang Laozhi, you are old and confused, and you use your born thinking to ask for people to join the WTO. ”

Wang Laozhi's master and apprentice were dumbfounded by the arrogant knife, and Zhu Wu said with a smile: "The words of the arrogant old man are to drink head-on, Yang Zhi, you have to remember the words of the arrogant elder, even if you lose the battle, it doesn't matter what the big deal is, don't worry, I will guard the city until you come back." On the third day of your departure, I sealed the gates of the city, leaving only the south gate to enter and exit normally. ”

Yang Zhi knew that there was almost no trade in a short period of time during the war, and Zhu Wu meant to prevent the Jin army from raiding; Yang Zhi respectfully saluted the sword and said, "Follow your father-in-law's teachings." ”

It was rare for Yang Zhi to look like he had low eyebrows, and he said with satisfaction: "I'm afraid that you are too young, so I will give you a few words, but I am optimistic about you." ”

Wang Laozhi and Zhu Wu were happy, and Yang Zhi also had a time when he was deflated.
