Bianliang, Zhao Gou sat on the cold chair, the tiger skin that was originally spread on the chair was innocently thrown on the ground; the ministers were silent, this period of time, whether it was Youzhou or Taiyuan, the news was so depressing, I heard that the Dingbei Army occupied Youzhou, Zhang Jun understood that he was in trouble. The strategy that was appreciated by King Kang and praised by everyone was only a few months later, because Yang Zhi won a series of victories in wars, and it turned into bad news in front of everyone.

Although the war is still unfolding on the three fronts of Youzhou, Hengshan, and Jingzhou, it can be seen from the fact that Yang Zhi's army captured Youzhou almost bloodlessly, and it can be seen that there is no big drama behind. The more than 100,000 people brought by Yang Zhi originally thought that they must become Yang Zhi's burden, but with the change of Song Huizong's attitude and the intervention of Taiping Firm, Shaanxi's grain was replenished many times in a short period of time.

Zhao Gou didn't have the idea of indulging his army to grab grain, but it was easy to offend the rest of the royal family, and if he wanted to keep it completely secret, Zhao Gou was not sure; he had seen the power of Gu Tongyuan and the Imperial City Division, even if these two institutions were now limited to Jiangnan, and the power could not be compared with before, but Zhao Gou knew that if he came hard, he would probably not be able to please him. But if Yang Zhi is allowed to get through the most difficult season in front of him and survive until the spring of next year, he will no longer be able to contain Shaanxi Zhifusi.

"You have to send 100,000 stone to Shaanxi, what do you think?" Zhao Gou was a little shocked when he heard the news, the third brother's army is getting more and more, if the dependence on food on him is getting smaller and smaller, the third brother Zhao Kai is afraid that he will not value himself. Wang Boyan said in a low voice: "I heard that it was King Yun who agreed to hand over the profits of Wuchi to Runzhou, transport grain to the north, and turn around to transport the green salt back to the south. Once the three envoys issued an official document, it is likely that the salt and iron divisions in various places will sell green salt in the future. ”

At that time, Zhao Gou thought that the third brother Zhao Kai was playing tricks and wrote a blank check, who knew that in less than a month, Wuchi fell into the hands of the Dingbei Army; this business is no problem for Taiyuan and Runzhou, learn from each other's strengths, and take what they need, but in this way, Gyeonggi Road is very embarrassing, and the materials led by the Taiping firm are not taxed, not to mention the private names of Li Jin, which is equivalent to missing a large amount of money from Zhao Gou's hands. Zhao Gou pondered and asked, "Can you give us a little cheap on green salt?"

Zhao Kai, the deputy envoy for transport, heard the news for the first time, thought for a while and said: "Yes, but it needs to be negotiated with the Ministry of Households, the Three Envoys, and the Taiping Firm also needs to be coordinated." ”

This is something that Zhao Kai can't decide, and it is inconvenient for Zhao Gou to come forward as King Kang, so everyone looks at Tokyo to stay in Zhang Jun; Zhang Jun feels that he is really pitiful, and he has worked hard for the Great Song Dynasty day and night, and when he asked the Buddha to sign, he won a sign.

"Lord Zhang!" Seeing that Zhang Jun didn't care about the eyes around him, Xie Kejia reminded him, the rest don't know what to say, Zhang Jun is a capable person, everything is good, but there are fewer ideas; Zhang Jun feels that his head is twice as big, the greater the victory in Shaanxi, when the Song-Jin agreement is announced in the world, the greater the opposition, and the damn Jin people have not given an accurate answer to their side until now. Zhang Jun didn't care about the strange eyes of his colleagues around him, he simply said "I'll do it", and shook his head without the slightest grace.

Zhao Gou was depressed to the extreme, I am going to do it and I am responsible for doing it are two completely different concepts, Zhang Jun is obviously not sure, but the courtiers want to share the worries for the above, some things can not be done, seeing Zhang Jun shook his head, Xie Kejia said lightly: "Now is not the time to go with it, we have to discuss a way, we must do this!"

"What else can I think of?" Lu Hao asked and snorted, Wang Boyan agreed: "The Dingbei Army has shown a big face this time, and the Holy Lord will definitely let the Taiping Firm meet their requirements in the back, can we ......." ”

Wang Boyan said half of the words, the Taiping business is related to those big people in the clan, even if there is Zhao Gou on the top, Wang Boyan does not dare to talk nonsense; Zhao Gou shook his head again and again and said: "You can't make extraneous branches, the third brother took the green salt of Wuchi and the Taiping business to trade, and dedicated the entire Wuchi to his father, if we made a mistake, my father would never agree." ”

Zhao Kaimo calculated and said: "The Dingbei Army gets five salt pools at once, even if one is handed over, the remaining salt can still make a lot of money." ”

"There's no way to do that, first stabilize the morale of the army. Xie Liang pondered for a while and said, "During this time, let the officers and soldiers stay in the barracks as much as possible, and don't come out if you have nothing to do." ”

Wang Shu nodded and said: "This doesn't need to be ordered, since the battle report of Suizhou and Wuyuan County came a few days ago, and the people of Bianliang City pointed at them, they are not very willing to come out, and no one wants to suffer that kind of living crime." ”

The news could not be blocked, when the eight hundred miles of fast riding in the post station to change horses said the good news of the front, several old officials were crying, glad that they could see the day when the Great Song Dynasty recovered Youzhou and other places in their lifetime, and then the news disappeared and quickly spread throughout the city. The common people were overjoyed, and all the officers and men of the Western Army who originally liked to show off their might in the city obediently hid back in the camp, and they did not want to go out and be embarrassed when they were killed.

Wang Shu said that Zhang Jun was very skeptical, and the people who dared to love this Bianliang did not want to see their subordinates because of this matter; looking at Zhang Jun's suspicious expression, Wang Shu said again: "Lord Zhang, really. ”

Listening to Wang Shu's emphasis, Zhang Jun looked at Zhao Gou with a bitter face, Zhao Gou still looked angry, Du Shiliang said: "Youzhou's victory is also good for us, if the Western Xia can't fight, the Jin State will not think about using the Western Xia to make a fuss, and it is estimated that it will be able to negotiate soon." ”

"Hmph, now they're just afraid they're more anxious than we are. Wang Boyan sneered: "In my opinion, the Jin people will still cheat us, Lord Du, we must bear it when the time comes." ”。

Du Shiliang gritted his teeth and said: "Of course, when I negotiated with Gao Qingyi, I said that I was just an errand runner. ”

For Du Shiliang, this is also a way to do it, you can't go and tear it up with those golden people; Zhang Jun laughed rarely: "I'm afraid that at that time, Lord Du wants to keep a low profile, and Gao Qingyi will not agree." ”
