Yang Zhi nodded, and asked Cai Qing to go out and call people in, Sun Xin no longer had the temperament of a little fresh meat, he could see the pressure and anxiety between his eyebrows, and he saluted Yang Zhi and said: "Lord Yang, I asked my friends on the rivers and lakes and many officers in the army, and I have asked in Shaanxi and Huaixi, and no one knows the news of my brother and Xie Shi; ”

Yang Zhi said flatly: "The prodigal son Yanqing is in Hetao, after he separated from Brother Ling in Zezhou, he has never seen him again, at least to me, I don't know the specific situation, is it possible that Sun Li has not had a letter from home for so long, so when he leaves home, Sun Li always has an explanation, otherwise which is the cost of living for the family?"

Happy Liu laughed and said to Sun Xin: "I said it, Yang Zhi saw through it at a glance, Sun Li's expenses have always been given by the Privy Council, but it was cut off after the Jin army broke the city." I checked it, and it was Taiwei Gao Yu and the privy envoy Lan Congxi who signed the arrangement at that time, both of which were Qinzong's henchmen, and the people from Xiaoyao Island disappeared together. ”

Yang Zhi waved his hand and said: "Then there is no way, there are too many variables, and we can't go to Xiaoyao Island to ask." ”

The matters involving the five forbidden places are very troublesome, Sun Xin asked himself if he was qualified to go to Xiaoyao Island to ask, but Yang Zhi refused so neatly, so that Sun Xin had no choice but to say goodbye to Happy Liu. Yang Zhi asked Sun Xin to go out first, and said to Happy Liu: "After you arrive in Jiangnan, you go and meet with Yu Shura, you help me find Xu Zhu, who was supposed to serve the bureau, and ask me about the process of arranging me to go to sea back then, whether there are any big people to explain, or the strange layout in secret." ”

After Yang Zhi's memory recovered, he always wanted to find out the truth about the shipwreck, Yang Zhi always suspected that the incident was not over with his own accident, but Chao Long died, and Yu Shura, who was beside Zhao Yingluo, didn't like to ask about things on the rivers and lakes, so Yang Zhi didn't move. This time, Happy Liu went, just try it, even if you have clues, you can ask the Shenxiao faction to help in Jiangnan and get Xu Zhu to Bianliang.

Happy Liu left, Wu Song and Che Dongxing didn't understand very much, Yang Zhi sent a master to such a thing, why bother outsiders, Yang Zhi smiled: "The label on your body is too obvious, go to Jiangnan, people won't believe that it's just for Xu Zhu's little thing." Besides, there is still a war in Yunzhong, who knows if they will come back after Yan Zongfu, it will be of great use for you to stay in Bianliang. ”

In Yunzhong, however, Jin Wushu raided the Heqing army from Shangjing, Wang Gubu lost more than half, Li Jianxiao was seriously wounded, and died in Huozhou, and his brother Li Houyue was designated as the heir; then swept through the four states, Yelu Yujian and Xiao Gaoliu were killed in battle, Xiao Temou, Pei Zhen, and Han Funu led 900 cavalry to flee to Jingzhou; Yang Yue led the army to reinforce, but only had time to meet Li Zhen, and Wen Bohu was killed in battle.

The Jin army led by Wanyan Zongwang and Jin Wushu was fighting with Yue Fei and others, the western front was in the area of Jingzhou and Montenegro Prefecture, and the eastern front was in the line of Hongzhou and Yingzhou, and the two sides fought more than a dozen battles in one go, and there was still no winner or loser; Jin Wushu was forced by Yue Fei to be unable to move in Jinsu Prefecture, but Han Shizhong and Zhang San retreated step by step, relying on the first-line defense of Jincheng, but the number of Jin troops was more than that of the Dingbei army, and the situation looked a little better. Zong Ze looked at the battle report and said to Zhao Kai: "Don't worry, Lord Wang, Yue and Han are not under Yang Zhi with troops, and there will not be that kind of situation." ”

No matter who the generals under Yang Zhi are, even if they are defeated, there will be no such miserable situation, this is the result of the evaluation of the people in Taiyuan, and now the original Hebei pacification envoy Zhang Suo, Xihe Road soldiers and horses Liu Weifu, and Yang Zongmin, the commander of the middle road of Yanyan Road, have all arrived in Taiyuan, making up for the vacancy after Wang Yu and Xu Huiyan came out of the place. These people have the same opinion as Min Min, the planter of Yunzhong Road, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, and the situation in Yunzhong is not worth worrying about.

After all, you can't have both fish and bear's paws, and Yang Zhi, who was released, is now gathering 100,000 heroes by himself, occupying the three prefectures and two prefectures of Gyeonggi Road, and managing more than one million people, even if he suffers some losses in the north, he can bear it; Zhao Kai nodded and said: "I understand, we are now suffering enemies on three sides, and we can only survive like this for the time being." What I'm worried about is Yelu Yujian, if he is defeated, Yue Fei's pressure will be even greater. ”

Cao Qianli said helplessly: "It's a pity that the plan we set at the beginning knew that we wouldn't give Yelu Yanxi to Bianliang." ”

The first time the Jin army hit Bianliang, the Liao Tianzuo Emperor Yelu Yanxi and his sons Yelu Xi Nilie and Yelu Ding were hidden by Yuan Di, and the Imperial City Division really didn't find it, so he gave all the gold and silver treasures rewarded by Song Huizong in the three mansions to Wanyan Zongfu; Now Yuan Di doesn't know where to hide with Yelu Xi Nilie, and all the people don't know the news.

This incident has no impact on Bianliang, but it has a great impact on the Dingbei army, and all the Khitan tribes believe that the Jin people are invincible, and the number of people who dare to resist has been greatly reduced; Strategically speaking, we should still plot against Hebei, after all, we and Yang Zhi can send troops in two ways. ”

Zhao Kai said with a smile: "Don't worry, at least wait for Yang Zhi to gain a firm foothold, and talk about it after the autumn harvest." ”

However, the battle in the clouds ended quickly, I heard that Xiping Mansion was finally conquered, Yelu Yu was killed, Wanyan Zongwang decisively withdrew his troops, since he couldn't get the result in a short time, at this time he fought for Xixia to consume the strength of the Dingbei Army, Wanyan Zongwang still felt that it was not good to be a white crane and a river mussel, and it was best to be a fisherman.

Youzhou, a piece of green, spring flowers and peach blossoms are blooming on the branches, in the side hall of the palace, a small range of drinking parties are going on, Wan Yan Gao said his judgment to Wu Qimai and Wan Yan Zonggan: "Bianliang must not get the material supply from the south of the Yangtze River, no matter how capable Yang Zhi is, he is just holding a place, and there is no possibility of entering Hebei, the top priority is to stabilize Hebei and Shandong, as long as these two places can recruit troops, they can fight with the south for a long time." Chuzhou is a bridgehead that must be conquered, and it can threaten Bianliang and Runzhou at any time to force the Great Song Dynasty to sue for peace. ”

In Wu Qimai's heart, the order of capable ministers in the court is Wanyan Gao, Wanyan Zonggan, Wanyan Zonghan, and Wanyan Zongwang, even if Wanyan Zongfu broke through Bianliang, but it did not affect this ranking at all; now Wanyan Gao is recuperating from his injuries, Wanyan Zonggan is responsible for managing the government, Wanyan Zonghan is still in the prison of the Dingbei Army, after Yang Zhi leaves, Wanyan Zonghan and Yinshuke have been transferred to Taiyuan by Zhao Kai. No matter how you look at it, it's time for Yan Zongwang to come out to fight.
