Yang Zhi didn't dare to make decisions easily in this matter, and after the two discussed, Yang Zhi still took Yang Yizhong, Jia Qiong and others to retreat to Huozhou, depending on Zhao Kai's attitude, take Sanzhou or return to Shuozhou, and Yue Fei stayed in Jingzhou to control the overall situation. Han Funu ran 200 miles that night to arrive, but only saw Yue Fei, Yang Zhi had already withdrawn to Huozhou; Han Funu said to Yue Fei convincingly: "General Yue, General Yang is really a god with soldiers, this time the Yanzhou East Road has been opened, so that we have no worries, thank you very much." ”

Yue Fei said with a smile: "The end of the strong crossbow cannot wear Lu Min, we will leave an army to defend the city and recuperate, you can transport the green salt out as soon as possible and transport it to Shuozhou to turn it into money." Senior Brother went back because he was worried about what changes would happen in the Volcanic State and affect our current good situation. ”

Han Funu was originally going to persuade Yang Zhi to continue to attack Yinzhou, Xiazhou and other places in order to reduce the pressure on Lingzhou in the east, but Yang Zhi left so quickly that he could only dispel a thought in his heart, knowing that there was no green salt to go out, and the Dingbei army would not see rabbits and eagles, Han Funu and Yue Fei discussed the details of transporting green salt, and returned to Yanzhou after dawn.

Li Gongliang's army entered the military camps on both sides of the Guye River, so that the still hesitant Zhikeqiu sighed, the opportunity was gone, he lost the opportunity to break through the Western Xia camp, and Qizhou returned to the original situation of being besieged by the Western Xia army. Li Gongliang had already received the news of Zhang Shiheng's return with the captives at this moment, and he couldn't judge the movements of the Dingbei Army for a while, so he could only send someone to replace Zhang Shiheng and let Zhang Shiheng go to the barracks to discuss first.

The two met and exchanged a few words, Zhang Shiheng said about his withdrawal from the Volcano Army, for the sake of more than 2,000 soldiers, Li Gongliang did not feel how serious it was to lose the Volcano Town, but he was so incomprehensible to Yang Zhi; suddenly there was a rapid running sound outside the tent, and the flag officer sent by Ren Dejing broke in and shouted: "General Li Gongliang, Jingzhou has been captured by the Dingbei Army, and General Ren wants you to quickly transfer 3,000 men and horses to Yinzhou to assist in defense." ”

Li Gongliang and Zhang Shiheng changed color at the same time, the first year of the Yuan Fu Song Dynasty recovered Yinzhou where the Mizhi Village was located, although the two sides later negotiated peace, and returned the Mizhi Village to the Western Xia, but the three thousand households in the village were all moved away by the Song people, leaving only an empty village. The Western Xia had to move 600 households to supplement the rice fat village, but Yinzhou lost its original status as a military supervisor, and the Western Xia set up a military supervision department in Jingzhou, which had 1,500 households.

At present, the garrison of Yinzhou is less than 3,000 people, distributed in Mizhi Village, Nuanquan Village, and Kaiguang Fort, and on the opposite side there are also Kerong Village and Siwu City of the Song Army; if Yinzhou is lost, the more than 10,000 people in Guye River will be attacked by the enemy. Zhang Shiheng asked, "Why doesn't the general evacuate the Guye River?"

Li Gongliang looked at the map for a long time and said: "This is not the best policy, General Ren's judgment is right, the Dingbei Army may not necessarily go south, I will transfer 3,000 cavalry to reinforce Yinzhou, and you quickly send someone to the Volcano Army to inquire about the news." ”

After five or six hours had passed, and it was determined that Yang Zhi had returned to the Volcano Army, Li Gongliang reluctantly said to Zhang Shiheng: "Yang Zhi is really cautious in his use of troops, he didn't give us a chance, and he didn't give the Great Song Dynasty a chance." "Bookbag nets

Yang Zhi retreated to the Volcano Army after capturing Jingzhou, so that Zhe Kefu was greatly puzzled, and had to come to Henggu Village to visit, just in time to see the steady stream of materials transported to Shuozhou; Zhi Kefu told Yang Zhi about Qizhou's answer, but there was no reply; Yang Zhi smiled and said: "Since there is no possibility of cooperation between the two of us, I don't want to take any risks, the head of the Zhe family, you and Zhang Shiheng should leave." ”

No one will leave suspicious characters on the opposing side to live in their own jurisdiction, Yang Zhi's words can't be said to be unreasonable, Zhi Kefu smiled and said: "Manager Yang, you use Lingzhou as a bait to tempt Yelu Yujian to give up Yunzhong, and then provoke a conflict between the Xingliao army and the Western Xia army. However, Western Xia is a big country after all, and it will never swallow its anger, compromise and retreat, as long as it solves the problem of Yelu Yujian, it will fight back, not to mention the Jin Kingdom, they will not sit back and watch you sit in the Hetao. ”

This was an estimate of the situation in the Hetao, but the development of the situation in two days far exceeded the imagination of the Zhe family, and Yang Zhi easily took Jingzhou, which was completely without the protracted attack of the Song army in the past; the Western Xia army at the Guye River did not retreat, but increased its troops, which affected the fate of Qizhou. He could only see if Yang Zhi had the determination to swallow the entire Hetao in one go, and he was deliberately a little excited in his words.

Yang Zhi saw through Zhe Kefu's thoughts, he didn't care about teaching Zhe Kefu a lesson, since he wanted to occupy the three states of Hejian, it would be best if this family surrendered without a fight, and the hundred-legged insect died without stiffening, although the Zhe family suffered heavy losses when reinforcing Wang Yuan and Liu Guangshi, but there were still 20,000 people in the three states, in that time and space, if it wasn't for Zhe Keqiu to surrender for his son, it was unpredictable how much the Jin army would have to pay.

Yang Zhi put away his smile and said: "Zhe Kefu, you are also a Song person, the Zhe family has always claimed to be loyal to Middle-earth, but your loyalty is like this? The Jin army has gone south from Hebei, if the Jin army fights all the way to Bianliang and Guanzhong, Shaanxi Sixth Road will be required to go to King Qin, and then the Western Xia may be overwhelmed and fought, I dare to say that their first place to attack is not Hetao, but Guanzhong." The Jin army will naturally go south, and when the time comes, the Dingbei army will have Taiyuan as the depth, and what about Qizhou?"

In the face of Hetao, the land of four wars, there is no rich Guanzhong that attracts the Xixia people more; however, the Sixth Road in Shaanxi is an area operated by the Great Song Dynasty for a hundred years, and even if the main force is exhausted, the remaining army will not be easily captured, and it is destined to be a vicious battle for both sides.

At that time, without the support of Shaanxi Sixth Road and Taiyuan, Qizhou would be equivalent to an enclave, and as long as Yang Zhi returned to Shuozhou at that time, the first choice of the Jin army in choosing the object was naturally Qizhou. Yan Qing, Jia Qiong, Yang Yi and others who accompanied the meeting were also taken aback, no wonder Yang Zhi didn't care about the attitude of the Xixia people and the Zhe family at all, now it seems that the heroes are competing for each other, but in fact, it is Yang Zhi and the Jin people who have not yet made a move.

However, Yang Zhi revealed a message, that is, he hoped that the Zhe family would compromise and be attached to Taiyuan; after Zhe Ke regained his peace, he did not think so, and after many years of operation in the Hetao, the Zhe family had reached a certain limited tacit understanding with the Western Xia, and was not worried about any strong enemy. Zhi Kefu sneered: "Farewell, the Zhi family will withdraw from Volcano Town in three days, but we will still come back." ”
