Peace talks, such a defeat can still be peace talks, Wu'er Siqi and Hot Gongji were surprised Yun Langhuan, Yun Langhuan nodded calmly and said: "The great enemy of the Great Song Dynasty is the Jin State, on the battlefield in Shaanxi, no one can continuously provide supplies to Yang Zhi, peace talks are inevitable, as for how to talk, we can't control it, I came to take the 80,000 army and tens of thousands of people near Youzhou across the Yellow River with the two of you." ”

Population is the foundation of Western Xia, hot and hot Gongji two people naturally distinguish the weight, Youzhou is the largest city in the southeast of Xixia, is Xingzhou, Lingzhou, Xiazhou, Hengshan, Suizhou, Wuyuan County transportation hub, nearby tribes and local rich families, southeast officials and generals' families, almost all of them are concentrated in Youzhou, which has caused a peculiar phenomenon, Youzhou is more prosperous than Wuyuan County, there are many rich people, and there are many poor people.

If these people are left to the Song people, it is equivalent to giving the other party wealth, and it is a crime against their own people, and the hot Gongji nodded understandingly; Yun Langhuan shook his head and said: "The face of the court is also very important, we can be wrong, and we can bear the reputation of making mistakes, but the court can't, so there is no order written in black and white." ”

So that's the case, Raida Gongji also understood why he brought Ren Dejing back to Lingzhou, anyway, he planned to take a step back, and saving the face of Western Xia was the most important thing; Raida Gongji immediately began to withdraw his army, using the army to escort the people and the surrounding tribes to retreat to Hexi, leaving only the tribe surnamed Mu in Huanzhou, that is, Mu Jun's clansmen, who defected a few months ago. Mu Jun did not agree to allow the clansmen to leave, and Hot Gongji and Yun Lang Huan knew that Mu Jun had other plans, but at the moment, they could only use the dead horse as a live horse doctor, pretending not to see anything.

When Yang Zhi's army arrived together according to the deployment, they only captured more than 3,000 Western Xia soldiers and civilians on the way to pursuit; seeing Mu Wei's letter, Mu Jun simply ordered Kaecheng to surrender, and there were bursts of relaxed cheers from Youzhou City, and there were almost no troops of the party clan in the city, and no one was willing to be sacrificed and surrendered, which meant that the soldiers and civilians left behind did not have to fight to the death. There was still a solemnity outside the city, even if the city was clearly sure to surrender, the veterans of the Dingbei Army were still waiting for the battle, holding the weapons in their hands.

The city gate was wide open, the Western Xia army rushed out of the city, the weapons were thrown aside like garbage, all the soldiers took off their armor, disarmed and assembled outside the city; Mu Wei was the last to come out, he was also afraid that after he left the city, there would be some unexpected changes in the city, so he drove all the soldiers out of the city. Mu Jun looks a little similar to Mu Wei, and when he saw Yang Yizhong, he held his waist knife and said: "Mu Jun, the commander of Youzhou in Western Xia, is willing to return to the Great Song Dynasty and never rebel." ”

Yang Yizhong laughed, jumped off the horse, motioned to Mu Jun to take back the waist knife and said: "General Mu, there is no need to be like this, there will be more opportunities for us to work together in the future, Wu Jue, Cai Fu, and General Mu, together with General Mu, led 5,000 people into the city, took over the city defense and sealed the treasury." ”

Listening to Yang Yizhong's words, Mu Jun showed a smile that was more ugly than crying, the young man in front of him was really cautious enough, fortunately he didn't want to do anything, otherwise he would have been killed by the other party in a few minutes. Yang Yizhong ordered Wu Jue and Cai Fu to take the army into the city to search, not expecting Cai Fu to play any role in the battle, but just asking Cai Fu to seal the treasury and the mansions of the powerful, which is also the reason why Cai Fu followed the vanguard troops.

Safely took over Youzhou, Mu Jun handed over the roster of his family and more than 6,000 soldiers and civilians left in Youzhou, which made Yang Yizhong and Wu Jue, who were the vanguards, relieved and a little regretful, but Yang Zhi's military order was first, and the pursuit was not allowed after occupying Youzhou, and the first task was to appease the surrounding tribes and villages, including those who haunted the desert.

Youzhou, but the largest city in the southeast of Western Xia, the nearby tribes and local wealthy families, and the families of officials and generals in the southeast are almost all concentrated in Youzhou, which has caused a peculiar phenomenon, Youzhou is more prosperous than Wuyuan County.

Liu Ziyu followed the army of Sangzhong on the second road to arrive, and looked at the sealing records made by Cai Fu, Western Xia did not burn the city, nor did it burn the warehouse, except for the little food left, the Western Xia magnates left a large number of valuable items and books in hundreds of mansions in Youzhou. It can be seen that whether it is the Xixia people or Mu Jun, what they want in this retreat is not to make extraneous branches; the reason for Mu Jun Liu Ziyu is clear, the Xixia people, I am afraid that they are really planning to negotiate as Yang Zhi guessed.

Liu Ziyu, as an expert in materials, naturally knows that Yang Zhi's biggest gain this time is salt, in addition to Wuyuan County's Wuchi, Baichi, Wachi and Xixiang Pond fell into the hands of the Dingbei Army, Yanzhou Salt Mountain under Xi'an Prefecture and the river salt pond of the Alkali Kuma River are occupied by the Dingbei Army, although the quality of white salt and red salt in Xi'an Prefecture is not as good as the green salt in Wuyuan County, but it is still better than the salt solution. And these salt areas, all in the area occupied by the Shaanxi Zhifu Division, according to the usual practice, will also be under the management of the Shaanxi Zhifu Division in the future.

The day after Yang Zhi arrived in Youzhou, Zhao Lingxun, the Duke of Qingguo, pulled grain on hundreds of mule carts and donkey carts; Zhao Lingxun originally planned to wait for Yang Zhi to return in Qinzhou, but when he learned that Yang Zhi had captured Wuyuan County, Zhao Kai personally pressed the battle to capture Suizhou, and Zhao Lingxun could no longer hold back. Wuchi was promised by Zhao Kai to Song Huizong, if Zhao Kai said that the Taiping business was not done well at this time, Zhao Lingxuan would not be able to find a place to cry.

It happened that the grain of the Taiping Merchant arrived, and Zhao Lingxuan immediately pulled Li Jinyi, the judge of the Transshipment Division, and Fan Shiyan, the supervisor of the Tea and Horse Division, to set off, the reason was very high-sounding, Yang Zhi didn't know when he would come back at the front line, this time he just went to the front line on the grounds of the labor army, and discussed the matter with Yang Zhi, and he could throw off his arms when he returned to Qinzhou. Li Jinyi and the others saw the expansion of the Dingbei Army, and they also wanted to know Yang Zhi's next move, so they said to Ye Mengde, the transfer envoy, and came to Youzhou together.

Zhao Lingxun's title is higher than Yang Zhi's, and he is Song Huizong's younger brother, Yang Zhi respectfully took Zhao Lingxun into the big tent of the Chinese army, Zhao Lingxun did not have the slightest reserve, and first said Song Huizong's meaning in front of Li Jinyi and the two; Yang Zhi could only smile bitterly, his father-in-law was really used to throwing his hands in charge. Yang Zhi can only guide Zhao Lingyun step by step based on Hu Xueyan's story, anyway, he doesn't have as much demand as Zuo Zongtang, and it doesn't matter if he is a little worse in some places.

Yang Zhi thought about it and said: "The materials that Shaanxi needs are concentrated in five aspects: iron, grain, cloth, copper coins, and tea, and the first thing is grain and ironware, and it also needs the help of Qingguo Gong to let the imperial court set up a coinage prison in Qinzhou, which is placed under the iron money division that Shen Chong is responsible for." ”
