Kong Yanwei, Wang Gui and others all lost their color, they only reacted at this time, Yang Zhi's preparation of the Western Expedition is not optimistic about the Great Song Dynasty, Bianliang is the core of the Central Plains, it is a symbol, they know very well what the loss of Bianliang means, none of them can accept it emotionally, Kong Yanwei asked Yang Zhi: "Chief, then what else do we want to do in Hetao, we will directly enter Hebei, how many gold people can be killed." ”

"Fool. Yang Zhi shouted angrily: "Is the war between countries just for the sake of exporting gas, for the gains and losses of one city and one place? So what is the king of Yun doing when he comes to Taiyuan, what are we doing? Even if Bianliang is lost, it does not mean that the Great Song Dynasty will be destroyed, and there are still large areas of land in Lianghuai, Jiangnan, Guanzhong, and Bashu, and we are still in Taiyuan." What the Dingbei Army did was to stabilize the north, no matter whose hands Bianliang was, it had nothing to do with us.

The loss of Bianliang only represents that the gang of people in Bianliang have misled the country, and does not mean anything; you look at Yelu Yujian, look at Yelu Dashi, the five capitals of Liao have all been lost, but Liao has not perished. King Yun just doesn't want to appear until the end of the day to become Yelu Dashi, so he will come to Taiyuan one step earlier, all the places where Bianliang lost and ceded are the territories we want to recover; ”

Yue Fei nodded, he couldn't figure out what Zhao Kai and Yang Zhi were going to do in this land of four wars at first, until Zhongshan and Hejian were conquered by the Jin army, Yue Fei thought clearly, Yang Zhi had already seen this step, and the development of the Dingbei Army was the area occupied by the Jin State in the north. Yang Zhi's words made Kong Yanwei and the others wake up a little, and when they think about it deeply, maybe the moment when Bianliang fails is the time when the Dingbei Army is a blockbuster.

Ma Qin, Yi Room Bai Answer, Guo Sheng These people believe in Yang Zhi, and they have weak feelings for those people in the court, and they are happy one by one, if Yang Zhi estimates this, the future of Yun Wang Zhao Kai is immeasurable, and Yang Zhi will naturally not be far behind, aren't these people also rising with the tide?

Yang Zhi saw that everyone's minds were different, in order to give everyone time to digest the information, Yang Zhi changed the topic, no longer said the meaning of the battle of the Western Expedition, but said the risk: "The army is impermanent, the Dingbei Army is out of the Song, Jin, and Xia tripartite forces, the strength is the weakest, the risk of entering the Hetao is huge, and there is a future only if there is a fate, so survival comes first; In addition, it is necessary to win the hearts and minds of the people, burn and kill the captives, and kill them without mercy. ”

Yang Zhi's view Yue Fei agrees with the most, you can't burn and kill and plunder just because you hit the border of the Great Song Dynasty, that is, thieves, it looks like you are strong, you will actually lose the hearts of the people, besides, the Hetao is the place of the Central Plains sooner or later, and pacification is an indispensable measure; the people in the room have long been accustomed to Yang Zhi's proposition, no one objected, and the people in the second room Bai Da, Ba Si Xuanling, Che Dongxing and others all made a guarantee to obey the military order, even if they met the enemy tribe, they would not kill innocents indiscriminately.

A day after Yue Fei, Wang Gui, Guo Sheng, Yi Room Bai Da and other 5,000 horsemen set out, Yang Zhicai led Kong Yanwei, Basi Xuanling, Yang Yue, Jia Qiong and other 3,000 horsemen and more than 700 string controllers from Basi's mother department to set off, leaving Pei Xuan and Ma Qin to stay in Shuozhou. Originally, Kong Yanwei was the most suitable general to stay behind, but Shuozhou was not far from Qizhou, and the connection between the two cities was close, so some things had to be guarded against, Yang Zhi was afraid that Kong Yanwei would have some whimsical approach, so he could only take Kong Yanwei away. Dancing God eBook

After Yang Zhi left, Shuozhou also wanted to close the city, Pei Xuan and Ma Qin knew that they were not Yue Fei or the like, and they could block the news by cutting off their entry and exit, and they didn't have to worry about sudden changes; Yang Zhi let Wu Song stay in Shuozhou, nominally to protect Pei Xuan and others, and secretly gave Wu Song a task, that is, just like in Jincheng, to monitor the caravans coming and going in the city, and to assist Pei Xuan in cutting off some good hands in the rivers and lakes who wanted to stir up trouble if necessary.

Lei Heng, the winged tiger, had already commanded three caravans to wait in front, and it was considered that the military horses had not moved the grain and grass first, but Lei Heng walked very slowly, and kept in touch with the scouts sent by Yang Zhi, waiting as he walked. According to the scout's report, the Western Xia army was also afraid of the counterattack of the Zhejia, and the Volcano Army did not rebuild all the villages, but only retained the three villages of Henggu, Hushui, Xiazhen and Volcano Town, which were the main transportation routes, and Sanzhai was stationed with 1,000 Western Xia troops all year round.

Under the tacit understanding between the two sides, the volcanic town is currently a place that does not care, neither does the Western Xia, nor does the Great Song Dynasty, there is no Western Xia army in the town, only more than 200 households, relying on the bodyguards of the caravan to maintain the safety of the town; the volcanic town is not only a place for the surrounding ethnic groups to trade goods, but also a concentration of smuggling transactions in the Song, Xia and Liao Kingdoms, with a population of more than 2,000 all year round.

During this period of time, with the successive wars in Shuozhou, Xiazhou, and Hetao, the number of people trading this month has greatly decreased, and now only seven or eight hundred people are still there, mostly because there are a large number of materials and people who are reluctant to flee. Yang Zhi looked at the map, and after discussing with Yang Yue and others, he decided to attack Xiazhen Village and Henggu Village, which were close to each other, and then attack the water protection village by the Yellow River, and finally besiege Huoshan Town;

The autumn breeze was cool, with bursts of coolness, Che Xitu, Aode, and Lei Heng each led a caravan, a total of 1670 people, only five miles apart, shouting cattle, and gradually approached the town; a gust of wind blew, and the camel bells hanging on several camels in the caravan rang, which made people feel homesick. The Western Xia cavalry rushed out of the stockade, and Aode, who was at the forefront, dressed like a merchant from the Western Regions, spoke in a dialectic and commanded a steward to come forward to negotiate.

The Western Xia army didn't care about Ode's accent at all, this was the Hetao, and there were more merchants coming and going from the south to the north, and it was not surprising that the merchants from the Western Regions were not surprised; an officer of the Western Xia came up to check the goods, and on the other hand, he sent patrolling cavalry to continue to intercept other caravans, and he did not even close the gate of the village. As Lei Heng and Che Dongxing came up with people, the three caravans crowded at the gate of Xiazhenzhai to bargain, and lost no time in handing over two silver bribes, and the officers in Xiazhenzhai collected hundreds of taels of silver, and finally agreed to take a finished goods as taxes.

The Western Xia officers designated the goods and let the caravan move them into the camp; when the goods entered the gate of the village, Che Xitu and others suddenly made a move, and in front of these ordinary soldiers, Che Xitu was handy, and more than 30 Xixia soldiers were put down before they had time to react; more than 100 people used the cart to firmly occupy the gate of the village, Lei Heng immediately released a signal, Yang Yue led a thousand soldiers to kill, and the patrol of less than 100 people was swallowed up in a blink of an eye, and the Dingbei army captured the town in one fell swoop.
