Zhao Lingyun heard a hint of something wrong, at the age of thirty, wouldn't Yang Zhi come down in two or three years, but Zhao Duofu didn't feel wrong at all. Zhao Lingxun suddenly thought of the battle situation, this time Zhao Kai insisted on attacking Xingzhou, I am afraid that it would really be a blow to Yang Zhi; from Zhao Lingxun's heart, I hope that Yang Zhi is pretending to be like this, after all, no one among the generals of the Great Song Dynasty can surpass Yang Zhi, but if King Yun really doesn't need it, Zhao Lingxun doesn't dare to think about it.

How to eliminate the sorrow, only Du Kang, Yang Zhi and Zhao Lingyun drank until the end of the words were not clear, fortunately, Cai Qing always waited outside, arranged for the maid to send Zhao Duofu to live in the backyard, and helped Yang Zhi to the house next door;

Zhao Lingyun woke up after getting into the carriage, and followed Shi Su into the carriage and asked, "Uncle, why do you drink so much wine?"

Zhao Lingyun leaned on the carriage and said: "Yang Zhi doesn't want to drink Zhao Duofu, he wants to drink, I will do him a favor, but Yang Zhi is definitely not drunk, he is a grandmaster-level master, if you really want to be sober, you can drink a hundred cups without getting drunk." Don't say it, Yang Zhi is really a smart person, and now he has the idea of retreating bravely, I estimate that if it weren't for the fear that Zhao Kai would collapse, Yang Zhi would have gone to Hangzhou. ”

Shi Su is Zhao Lingxun's own nephew, but Shi Su's uncle has no children, Zhao Lingxun's brother Zhao Lingpi passed his second son to his brother-in-law; The carriage walked clattering, and Shi Su figured out the mystery in a moment: "Zhao Kai and Yang Zhi are both smart people, Zhao Kai knows that this time in Weizhou to seize Yang Zhi's military power and financial resources, Yang Zhi will definitely push the boat, but the current situation is deadlocked, Zhao Kai let Zhao Duofu come over, no matter what, I hope Yang Zhi can hold Guanzhong." ”

Zhao Lingyun's eyes were clear: "And Yang Zhi now, what he can do is to defend Chang'an in case of a big war, the rest of Yang Zhi is not extravagant, for Shaanxi Zhifu Division, Hexi is conquered, so that they only have only the enemy on the Tubo side, once Yue Fei, Yang Yizhong, and Liu Qi withdraw their troops, Shaanxi has enough troops." After I leave tomorrow, you go to Qinzhou and regard it as the base camp of our Taiping firm in the northwest, and these places in Hedong will be tossed by Zhao Buyu and them. ”

Zhao Lingxun got the news on the way, and Zhang Jun immediately relieved Liu Guangshi of his military power; Zhao Gou still remembered the old feelings, divided Liu Guanglie's army into two, and let Liu Guanglie lead the army to Chenzhou to station. However, the battle of Caozhou had already begun, and the Jin army Lou Sujin led 10,000 Tatar cavalry, and Liu Yu sent his son Liu Lin, nephew Liu Yi and Miao Fu to command an army of 150,000 to cooperate with the south, and the vanguard had reached the outskirts of Caozhou.

When Yang Zhi received the battle report, Wang Boyan and Fan Zhixu, the superintendent of the army, both came to Chang'an, Fan Zhixu and Yang Zhi talked about the reinforcement of Bianliang that year, they sighed for a long time, and thanked Yang Zhi vigorously for finding out the truth of the year; Yang Zhi of course knew that Fan Zhixu was not talking about this matter, but Fan Zhixu was acting, and Yang Zhi was a good audience, and he cooperated from time to time to say a few words. Wang Boyan saw it clearly and knew that Yang Zhi was sincere, and he was afraid that Fan Zhixu would be embarrassed to speak, so he asked first: "Yang Shuai, if Henan is in an emergency, can Chang'an send reinforcements?"

Yang Zhi said in his heart, and said with a serious face: "Lord Wang, you can also see the situation in Chang'an, Liu Yanzan's matter is not over yet, because the fierce battle between King Yun and Western Xia is in full swing, and the current army in Shaanxi cannot be withdrawn, Chang'an has less than 50,000 troops, and it can still be considered to defend the Tongguan line. Besides, such a major matter is not something I can decide, so you had better send someone to Lingzhou to discuss with King Yun. ”

Fan Zhixu and Wang Boyan looked at each other, and now it is the Hexi side that has won the victory, and the Shaanxi Army Liu Qi and Yang Yizhong joined forces to capture Suzhou, so that Hexi Road has Suzhou, Liangzhou, and Huaiyuan Army, and really formed a large territory. The army of more than 100,000 commanded by Zhao Kai did not progress well in Xingzhou, and although it had conquered the six outer castles of Western Xia, it lost almost 15,000 people. At this time, if you go to find Zhao Kai, isn't that looking for a frieze?

Wang Boyan snorted and said: "It's not yet this far, we just chatted privately, after hearing that Yan Zongwang and Wanyan Tart Lazy have mobilized 80,000 Jin State cavalry and 100,000 signing troops in the Daimyo's Mansion, we are worried that Bianliang will not be able to resist." ”

But to Fan Zhixu's disappointment, Yang Zhi didn't answer the call, just sat there slowly and drank tea; Fan Zhixu couldn't bear it a little: "Yang Zhi, you can't be like this, now is a critical moment, although your troops are insufficient, but you can't be indifferent." ”

Yang Zhi looked up at Fan Zhixu and said: "Bianliang has more than a year to prepare for war, and with more than 400,000 troops, can't he defeat the Jin army's southward march; ”

Fan Zhi stood up anxiously: "I know that your Dingbei Army has a bad relationship with King Kang, but Zhang Jun took away 200,000 people, and the defenders of Bianliang are only 200,000. Why don't you transfer 20,000 war horses to Bianliang?"

Yang Zhi laughed: "Lord Fan, there are no 10,000 cavalry in Chang'an, you sit down, I'm curious, Wanyan Zongwang hasn't reached the bank of the Yellow River yet, why are you in such a hurry, did you get any top-secret news?"

Wang Boyan nodded and said: "The news that Qin Hui brought back said that many generals in the Bianliang army have already had contact with the Jin army, and even the movement of the Jin army is drawn on the map. ”

Qin Hui, Yang Zhi couldn't help laughing, he specially asked Pu Xiancheng, Qin Hui is not the kind of captured slave in the Jin Kingdom, at least Pu Xiancheng has seen this person at the family banquet held by Wanyan Tart, Qin Hui's appearance is free and easy, and his speech is good, which left a deep impression on Pu Xiancheng; according to Pu Xiancheng's estimate, Qin Hui should belong to the people in Wanyan Tart's lazy mansion. Yang Zhi tapped on the armrest of his chair and fell into deep thought, and asked while thinking: "Qin Hui was able to collect such information during the negotiations, and his source of intelligence was very peculiar, at least he could have casual contact with people from the Jin State in order to obtain information from different yamen? Didn't he say that he was originally a slave herding horses in the Jin Kingdom? How could there be such a network?"

Wang Boyan was stunned, and quickly reacted: "Self-contradiction, Qin Hui is misleading us." ”

Yang Zhi shook his head and said: "The soldiers are not tired of deceit, and it is not ruled out that the Jin people deliberately leaked the news to him, and the most important thing now is, can Bianliang confirm that the transfer of the Jin army is true? Give me Qin Hui's information, and I will analyze it." ”
