Yang Yingqi's three most important civil deputies, in addition to their respective internal affairs, Yang Pu and Chen Zhenghui respectively have important foreign-related responsibilities: Yang Pu mainly focuses on Dajin, while Chen Zhenghui mainly focuses on Da Song.

After Zong Wang retreated, Chen Zhenghui compiled the information of all parties during this period of time and made a comprehensive report to Yang Yingqi again:

"The Song Dynasty order was changed, after Zong Wang retreated, Li Gang asked to escort with a large army, and the Song Emperor allowed Li Gang to play at the beginning, dispatched the army, divided the way and marched together, and allowed the generals to attack. At the beginning, the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty were all enthusiastic, and Zong Wangjun was intimidated by the Song army, and he did not dare to act rashly all the way. However, the Song army chased to the border of Xingzhou, and suddenly it was rumored that the Zonghan West Route Army continued to invade the south, and the Bianliang court changed its mind again and ordered the army to turn back halfway, which made the Great Song soldiers demoralized, and everyone did not know what the imperial court measures meant. Since then, there was no intention of attacking, and when Zongwang saw this, he became arrogant again, and plundered in all directions, and all the villages he passed were destroyed. Zong Wangjun forced all men to cut their hair and shave their heads, making them slaves with horses and burdens; The young and beautiful were swept away, and the old and ugly were slaughtered on the spot. Now north of Zhaozhou, west to Zhending, east to the river is a chaos, Hebei people's homes have been destroyed countless, because I heard that Cangzhou has grain and grass relief are pouring to this side, the flow of Cangzhou is as many as more than 100,000 this month alone, Cangzhou grain storage has been urgent. ”

Yang Yingqi said bitterly: "It is our sin not to save the people of Hebei." An order for the ransom of slaves was issued immediately: Any merchant who could redeem the Han people who had been plundered into slavery from the Jin army could go to Tanggu and Liaokou to repay the reward, and the governments of the two places should return the full amount according to the price. As for Cangzhou, what we have grain and grass is, we immediately ordered Tanggu to open another warehouse and hand it over to the autonomous government in Cangzhou to help the displaced people. Then he asked, "How is Zong Han's side?" He knew that the Eastern Route Army had made peace with the Song court? Do you want to continue to march into the army? ”

Yang Pudao: "I just received the news, Zong Han has divided his troops to break through Xinzhou and Daizhou, and Song General Zhe Keqiu led the Linfu soldiers and Liu Guangshi led the Yan soldiers to rescue Taiyuan, but they were all broken by Zong Han on the way. ”

Yang Yingqi nodded and said, "It seems that most of Zong Hanxing's strategy is to encircle the point and send reinforcements. The Great Song Dynasty lost everywhere, and the biggest problem was probably that the center did not have a comprehensive and effective arrangement, which caused the western and northern roads to fight separately, and it was difficult to play the effect of using Duo Kejing. He asked Chen Zhenghui again: "How is Bianliang preparing?" Now that Zong Wang's troops are retreating, they just took advantage of this gap to rectify the river defense and city defense. ”

Who knew that Chen Zhenghui said: "Lin Yi just sent another letter, which said that Bianliang has announced the lifting of martial law, the capital's combat readiness has been completely stopped, and there is no additional defense along the Yellow River. ”

Yang Yingqi was stunned and said: "All combat preparations have stopped? ”

"Yes." Chen Zhenghui said: "According to Lin Yi's letter, the prime ministers of Bianliang think that the Jin army has returned with a full load and should not come again, so they will no longer prepare for war." Even the city defense repair work that Li Gang and Seed Master Dao presided over during the battle has been completely stopped. And the Seed Master Dao has also been dismissed......"

Yang Yingqi shouted: "I know that the Seed Master Dao was dismissed, but didn't some courtiers fight and reinstate him?" ”

"It is to make him the envoy of Hebei and Hedong Xuanfu." Chen Zhenghui said: "The official is quite high, but according to Lin Yi's investigation, he has no real power in his hands now. Again: The Seed Master Dao suggested that the soldiers of Shandong, Shaanxi, and Gyeonggi should guard Qing, Cang, Wei, Meng, Huazhou and other places to prevent the Jin soldiers from making a comeback. However, the prime minister of the Song court thought that the cost was too great and did not consider it. ”

Yang Yingqi sneered: "The cost is too big? When they sent the indemnity to Jinying, why didn't they expect that the amount of indemnity would be larger? ”

Yang Yingqi angrily scolded Zhao Huan and his prime ministers, and Chen Zhenghui waited for him to finish scolding before continuing: "There is one more thing, the whereabouts of Xiao Ziqi have been found." ”

Yang Puqi said: "It's my job to find Xiao Ziqi, why did you know it first?" ”

Chen Zhenghui hurriedly said: "It's a coincidence that I knew about this matter first, so Pu Zhi doesn't have to worry about it." ”

Yang Yingqi asked, "Is this news from the fourth brother?" ”

"Not bad." Chen Zhenghui said: "The four generals are married, and the tiger princess is not in a hurry, don't bother him, let the four generals live a comfortable life for a few days." But today is the fourth day, and he suddenly revealed the news to me, presumably to talk to the seventh general about the military situation. ”

Yang Yingqi bowed his head and said, "Okay, I'll go to him later." By the way, let's talk about Tanggu political science. ”

Suddenly, a report came from outside the door: "The four generals have arrived." ”

Yang Yingqi heaved and said, "He is more anxious than me!" Hurriedly greeted him and said: "Fourth brother, the Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold!" Why do you have time to come here? ”

Although Ouyang Shi's marriage was not moved by love, people were in good spirits at happy events, and the flowers and candles in the cave room were always good, so his face looked radiant, and he sat in the room and asked Yang Yingqi, "How is it?" Song Jin War, have there been any new changes in the past few days? ”

"No, it's still like that."

"What do you mean by 'or that'?"

"In a word: the Song people are not weak but the Song court is weak, and there are not many Jin people but the Jin court is strong." Yang Yingqi said: "The Dajin soldiers are strong and strong, and they are properly arranged, so they have the upper hand, but fortunately, there are too few Jurchens after all, and they refuse to let go of the Han people, so their foundation in the west and south of Dading Mansion is actually very weak, not to mention the south of Yanyun." However, in comparison, the situation of Da Song is even worse. Song Ting is now rotten to the roots, and it is not worth mentioning. However, the civil power in the territory is very strong, and the heroes and heroes are crouching tigers, and it is precisely because of this that the Jin people cannot succeed for a while. Now that the two sides have become wearing, let's see them slowly consume. ”

Ouyang Shi nodded and said, "So the situation is much more favorable to us?" ”

Yang Yingqi said: "For the time being." At least now Zong Han has no heart to pay attention to us at all, and Zong Wang's side has to spend most of his strength on dealing with Song Ting. As long as the two sides are on the same page, we can be left and right. ”

Ouyang Shi sighed: "It's a pity that the boss is in their hands now, otherwise our Han Department will be able to show their talents!" ”

Yang Yingqi also sighed: "Not bad. For the sake of the eldest brother's life, we still have to endure it. By the way, fourth brother, I heard that you heard the news of Xiao Ziqi? ”

Ouyang Shi smiled at Chen Zhenghui and Yang Pu: "I want to talk to Lao Qi about myself." ”

Chen and Yang understood and hurriedly said goodbye. After they went out, Ouyang Shi said to Yang Yingqi: "Seventh, there is one thing you have to answer me honestly: Sixth betrayal, is it true or false?" ”

Yang Yingqi hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't know." ”

"Don't know?" Ouyang Shi was quite dissatisfied and said, "How could you not know! ”

Yang Yingqi said: "Big brother didn't say anything to me, so I don't know!" ”

Ouyang Shi snorted and said, "I didn't say anything to you, didn't I hint at anything?" ”

"This kind of thing can't be done by hints." Yang Yingqi said: "I don't want to take out inaccurate things and say them. ”

Ouyang Shi said: "Okay, let's just let you guess, do you think the sixth child is really betrayed?" ”

Yang Yingqi said: "I don't want to guess this matter." ”

Ouyang Shi glared at him and said stupidly: "I really can't stand you!" ”

Yang Yingqi said lightly: "Fourth brother, if you have anything to say, just say it directly." Did the sixth brother send you a letter privately? ”

Ouyang Shi heard him call out the word "Sixth Brother" and said with a smile: "You slippery head!" I clearly believe that the sixth child is not a real betrayal, and he refuses to admit it! ”

Yang Yingqi shrugged his shoulders and said, "That's what you said, I didn't say it." I haven't cut off my robe with the sixth brother yet, so calling the sixth brother doesn't mean anything. ”

"Okay, okay, I'm not going to mess with you." Ouyang Shi said: "Let me tell you something first: during this period of time, Zong Wang, Zong Han and Tart Lazy have quietly shown favor to me, I didn't tell you before, first, because it was inconvenient to say this in the letter, and it was even more inappropriate to ask someone to bring the words, and secondly, I didn't feel the need to tell you immediately." But now that I see you, I have to make it clear to you. ”

Yang Yingqi smiled and said: "They came to win over the fourth brother, how did the fourth brother express his position?" ”

Ouyang Shi also said with a smile: "Of course I'm close to them. If they want to win me over, they must give me some advantage; I don't want them now, so I can sit back and collect money and not return the gift—why not do such a good thing? Now the merchants of Tanggu are in and out of Yanyun and Dading Mansion unimpeded, and they are not covered by me! ”

Yang Yingqi said with a smile: "Now our brothers have the best relationship with Zong Wang and Tart Lazy, and it is you, the fourth brother." Yang Pu also quietly told me about this, and said that fourth brother, you sold a lot of good things and good information to them. But I said that the fourth brother must have a sense of proportion in his heart, and what he sells must be harmless. ”

Ouyang Shi scolded with a smile: "You ghost unicorn, it turns out that you have already received the news!" I can't hide anything from you! ”

Yang Yingqi said: "Now that our Han Department is in the stage of development, things that are beneficial to each other and public and private are not in accordance with the rules, and they can also be in power. But this fourth brother has to grasp it well, what to do, what to do, what to do, the fourth brother knows in his heart, and he doesn't need my younger brother to make noise. It's just that you still have to do it cleanly when you act, but don't make a big fuss and cause misunderstanding among the people, then the center will be difficult to do. ”

Ouyang Shi sneered: "Don't worry, I won't be like the sixth child, I don't know why I smeared myself so black!" Now I don't even know how he's going to come back! ”

Yang Yingqi's expression darkened, and he said, "I'll talk about this matter later." It's about the sixth brother in Zonghan's army, I don't know how much the fourth brother has heard? ”

Ouyang Shi said: "After Zong Wang and Zong Han divided their troops to the south, they separated Xiao Ziqi from the boss, and now the boss is surrounded by Puluhu and Antahai, two useless imps, and the small team of people who are sick can't get close to the boss's body." As for the sixth child, Zong Han ordered Xiao Ziqi to attack the city at the beginning - what kind of kindness can be safe! Naturally, it is going to wear down the combat power of Xiao Ziqi! Hey! It's a pity he miscalculated! The sixth brother is not like the second child in the battle, he doesn't care whether the opponent is Song or Liao, in short, he received the military order and advanced into Yingzhou and Shuozhou without hesitation, who knows that the border defense of the Great Song Dynasty is unexpectedly weak, and there are many Yan people who defected, so the sixth man even went down to seven counties, and he didn't rub much skin, but easily got more than 20,000 prisoners of war, more than 10,000 war horses, and more than 10,000 border people. He picked out five or six thousand strong and daring ones to enter the army, and in a blink of an eye, the troops were so strong that Zong Han also felt a little tricky. ”

The number of soldiers and horses that Xiao Tienu took away this time was not large, the total number was about 3,000 people, and there were only more than 2,000 people left after cutting some of them to protect Zhi Yanchong, but more than 2,000 people were his descendants, and their organizational and combat effectiveness were extremely strong. The Han Department has a set of formed ways to recruit prisoners, and Xiao Tienu's speed and ruthlessness in accepting new soldiers are the first of all generals, so Yang Yingqi Yang Yingqi is not surprised to hear that Xiao Tienu is getting stronger and stronger, but Yang Yingqi is worried about another problem: "It's no problem for the sixth brother to fight and collect people, but how to solve his food and grass supply?" ”

Ouyang Shi said: "The supply of grain and grass, of course, is to collect grain on the spot." You don't want to think about it, without the constraints of the Han Center, their Xiao Ziqi must have become a swarm of locusts, flying wherever they can eat, and they are afraid that they will not be able to do it if they are hungry? ”

Yang Yingqi said: "This is not a long-term solution, since Zong Han is jealous of the sixth brother, he will definitely find a way to restrict him." ”

Ouyang Shi nodded and said: "Yes, as soon as Zong Han saw that the sixth man was profitable, he immediately changed his mind and didn't let him conquer the city, but drove him to Taihang Mountain to fight the loyal army." ”

Yang Yingqi was taken aback and said, "When did this happen?" ”
