Chapter 1080 Jiangnan Layout

Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty decreed that Mosang should be named the Duke of Dunhuang and given the name Zhao Huai'en; the imperial court approved all the matters concerning the Shaanxi Tea and Horse Division and the Rongchang, and let Yang Zhi decide for himself. When Zhao Kai sent Cao Qianli to reward the three armies, he read out the order by the way, Liang Xun, LĂź Yihao, and Li Guang, who were stranded in Puzhou, were transferred back to Taiyuan to take up their posts, Zhang was appointed as the envoy of Hebei and managed the area around Hanoi, Wang Yan was the governor of Huaizhou, Wang Shan was the governor of Mengzhou, and Wang Ping was the pacification envoy of Hebei and sat in Xiangzhou.

Zhao Kai did not interfere in Shaanxi's arrangement, not only agreed to Yang Zhi's proposal for the four-way economic envoy, but also stated that Yang Zhi would be fully responsible for military and political affairs. Yang Zhi announced that Quduan was the Jingyuan Road, Wang Yu was the Huanqing Road, Chongbin was the Qinfeng Road, and Liu Qi was the Xihe Road, and the Tongzhou and other places that were spun off from the Yongxing Military Road were merged into the Weinan Pacification Division, with Lu Yi as the pacification envoy. Hu Yin was the prefect of Fengxiang Prefecture, Quan Bangyan was the prefect of Qinzhou, Fan Shiyan was the superintendent of tea and horses; Yang Jin, Shao Xing, and Ming Chisong were stationed in Weinan, and Liang Xingjun and Zhang Heng's sailors remained in Puzhou.

Yang Zhi set up a separate Longyou battalion, with eight battalions of Sang Zhong, Xu Wen, Yang Zhongwu, Han Qing, Wu Jue, Fu Xuan, Wang De, and Wang Bian, expanding to 40,000 people; Yang Yizhong, Zhao Yi, and Niu Gao were tasked with expanding the cavalry to 20,000 through the Fan army policy. Xue Guang was the commander of Tuntian, and Yang Zhi appointed two deputy envoys to Tuntian, one was Sang Zhong's deputy general Li Heng, and the other was Liu Ziyu, the son of Liu Tao.

Zhao Ding and Xu Jingheng, whom Yang Zhi appreciated, did not follow the Dingbei Army to Shaanxi in the end, but Hu Yin, Li Guang, and Xue Guang followed, which made countless people fall into their eyes; However, compared with the gathering of fierce generals, Yang Zhi urgently needed talents in other aspects, so he thought of Liu Ziyu, who had a vague impression, and seemed to be as famous as Guan Shigu who is now rising in Chang'an in history.

Liu Ziyu was not in Yang Zhijun, so Cao Qianli returned to Taiyuan with Yang Zhi's handwritten letter and appointment, which made Zhao Kai and others very curious, Liu Ziyu is currently just a not-so-famous staff member in Zongze's mansion, and even Liu Qian doesn't know where Yang Zhi heard about his son's name. Of course, Zhao Kai knew that Yang Zhi would never deliberately elevate Liu Ziyu because of Liu Zhi's relationship, because Yang Zhi had countless fierce generals, and Yang Zhi's current identity did not need to be like this at all.

Liu Tao knew that Yang Zhi's vision was vicious, and that the Tuntian commander was a shortcut for Yang Zhi to select generals, and Yang Jin, Wang Shan, Liu Qi, and Li Yanxian all came up from this road; Liu Tao thought about it again and again, and learned that Liu Ziyu was willing, so he finally agreed to Yang Zhi's invitation and asked Liu Ziyu to report to Qinzhou.

A series of news in Shaanxi made Zhang Jun and others, who were in charge of Bianliang, extremely depressed, and the Western Xia army looked violent, and they were unwilling to fight to the death with the Great Song Dynasty, and in the end, only 5,000 Western Xia troops entered Huanzhou and were easily driven away by Yang Zhi. Affected by the victory, Qu Duan, Wu Jue and other 50,000 troops left in the west, about less than 10,000 were willing to retreat to the Yongxing military road. Although Zhang Jun accepted 40,000 troops from Li Gui and Zhang Yong, he still lost 40,000 Western troops in Guanzhong, and it can only be said that it was a draw.

Zhao Huaien's matter was even worse, Qian Gai had this suggestion at that time, Xie Liang discussed with Xi Gong, Wang Yi, and Wang Shu, but in the end he still did not take the initiative to take action, and even transferred the supply of Xihe Road to Bashu. Who knows, less than a month after Yang Zhi arrived in Shaanxi, the news came, and part of the territory of Jingyuan Road and Huanqing Road was also recovered, which eased the whole situation.

Fortunately, Wang Shu and others were able to bring 170,000 people to Gyeonggi Road from all over the country, which could ensure that the Gyeonggi army exceeded 200,000 in the end, which made Zhang Jun breathe a sigh of relief. It's just that Yang Zhi gave Song Huizong a piece of music when he thanked him, which made the hundred officials of Runzhou and Bianliang jump again.

Yang Zhi wrote his views on the war situation, believing that from the essence of the Jin people's words and untrustworthiness, the peace talks were only temporary, in order to prevent the Jin army from tearing up the agreement, the Jin cavalry killed Yangzhou and raided Jiangnan and other places, Yang Zhi suggested the establishment of the Yangtze River Naval Division, and the ships of Caoyun were under the control of a certain department in the south of the Yangtze River, in case of emergency.

In addition, in any case, the Song army must hold the Jingchu North Road and the Huaixi area, this area is the main road connecting Guanzhong, even if Yangzhou and Bianliang are defeated, the materials on both sides of Jiangnan and Guanzhong can be deployed, and they must not be lost, Yang Zhi believes that it is best for these two places to form a separate area, and order Liangchen to hold it, and now it is necessary to imitate the original Gyeonggi Road and remove the displaced people and thieves.

This was originally Song Huizong's request, let Xu Zhi often pass on the words, Yun Wang Zhao Kai also knew, but Song Huizong would never say it, Song Huizong would never let his subordinates take the blame, so in the eyes of the hundred officials, this piece shows contempt for the agreement of Zhang Jun and others, what Jin army raid, a clear-eyed person can understand at a glance, Yang Zhi means that once the Jin people tear up the agreement, Zhang Jun and others will definitely not be able to hold Bianliang. However, strengthening the strength of Jiangnan is exactly what Song Huizong wanted, although in the midst of opposition, Song Huizong did not reply, but secretly asked Zhu Shengfei, Tang Chong, and Guo Zhongxun to make plans.

Zhu Shengfei is now using Hangzhou as a companion to the construction of the capital, Guo Zhongxun is in charge of the defense of Jiangnan, and Tang Chong has just been appointed as the secretary of the military department, and the three of them naturally understand that Yang Zhi's suggestion is an opportunity for them, if the army in Jiangnan is self-contained, there is no need to worry about what will happen to the collapse of the army in the north. The confrontation between the north and the south, south of the Yellow River to the north of the Yangtze River, to put it bluntly, is the battlefield of competition between the two sides, and the Yangtze River Naval Division is an indispensable decisive journey.

The first plan that the three of them came up with was to establish a naval army of 35,000 men and a Shengjie army of 50,000 men, with Tang Chong and Guo Zhongxun respectively in charge; this incident caused a sensation in Jiangnan, and Zhu Shengfei, Tang Chong, and Guo Zhongxun actually controlled the forbidden army of nearly 100,000 people, and after the army was expanded again, the army in Jiangnan was expanded to 200,000 people, which should not be underestimated. King Kang Zhao Gou was greatly opposed, this move not only reduced the importance of his subordinates, but most importantly, it inevitably affected the deployment of materials.

It's just that the Gyeonggi Road is not stable, and Li Gang on the side of Ying Tianfu is still unwilling to give up power, so Zhao Gou can only secretly instruct the imperial historians to appeal, accusing Zhu Shengfei and the others of not being able to do things; this naturally met with Tang Zhong and others who fought back, greatly reducing the degree of attention of the government and the opposition to the changes in Bianliang. King Jing Zhao Qi is sitting on the mountain watching the tiger fight, he painstakingly manages the Ding, Li, Tan, Yue, Chen and other places in the Dongting Lake area, and he can't interfere with the situation in the east, and it doesn't matter who loses or who wins.
