Regarding Wang Kunjun's proposal, Zhang and Xu had no objection. So, he immediately sent someone to invite his eldest brother Li Junwu, and the four brothers held a committee meeting in Wang Kunjun's study, and set the strategy and policy for meeting with Zhang Neng - before Li Junwu arrived, Zhang Xiaofei, who was not qualified to participate in the committee meeting, had already left on his own. Just when the four brothers finished discussing and Zhang Weixin was about to leave the study to meet Zhang Neng, Wang Kunjun suddenly raised his head and stopped him, and after pondering for a moment, he said: "When Lao Qi goes to meet with that Zhang Neng, in addition to cutting some more meat within the range that he can accept, so as to increase his trust in our willingness to form an alliance with him and borrow troops, we must add one more - if we want the two sides to form an alliance, Zhang Yongde must hand over Zhang Yan and the Shi Ran who escaped with her to our Beiping Army. Otherwise, even if he assigns all the north of the Yellow River to the Beiping Army, he will not think that our brothers will send a soldier to the south. ”

"That doesn't seem right, does it?" Without waiting for Zhang Weixin to express his opinion on this idea, the eldest brother Li Junwu had already opened his mouth to express his opposition, "The so-called 'tiger poison does not eat children'." Although Zhang Yan is only Zhang Yongde's righteous daughter, in this era, the righteous son and righteous daughter can also be regarded as close relatives, can he Zhang Yongde agree? ”

Wang Kunjun waved his hand when he heard this, and said, "Big brother, don't worry. Since Zhang Yongde can even use the trick of forming an alliance with our old rival in order to save his life, what else is he unwilling to do. In this era, those so-called 'people with lofty ideals' who are ambitious and ambitious and want to do great things have done less for the sake of their own glory and wealth, and for the sake of establishing meritorious deeds, sacrificing the interests of their children and even their lives? To put it mildly, in order to achieve his ambition to enter Kaifeng and sit on the dragon chair, even if Zhang Yongde wants to hand over his righteous son, righteous daughter and even his own flesh and blood to the Beiping Army, he will not hesitate to do it.

Moreover, the old fourteenth husband and wife and Xiaolian sister can be said to have been indirectly killed by Zhang Yan, if there is such an opportunity to put the murderer in the hands of our Beiping Army and not fight for it, how can we explain to your brothers. ”

"Fifth brother is right." Xu Shaoan echoed, "We must not let go of Zhang Yan and Shi Ran, the two culprits, we must cut them with a thousand knives to eliminate the hatred in our hearts." Brother Seventh can tell Zhang Neng, if you agree to our conditions, everything can be discussed. If he doesn't agree, even if the Hou Zhou court doesn't want his life, our brothers will wave their troops south to seek justice from his old Zhang family. At that time, what our brothers want is not Zhang Yan's life alone, but to destroy his old Zhang family. ”

The more Xu Shaoan spoke, the more excited he became, if it weren't for the fact that Zhang Yongde Group was still of some use to the crossing team now, I was afraid that this guy would have jumped out and dismantled Zhang Neng's mess and threw it out to feed the dogs.

Seeing that Xu Shao'an was emotional, although Wang Kunjun did not speak again, the expression on his face was very resolute, and Zhang Weixin never opened his mouth to express his position, obviously with a tacit meaning, as the only Li Junwu who objected to Wang Kunjun's proposal, it was not easy to insist on his own point of view, but nodded reluctantly, which was regarded as agreeing with Wang Kunjun's opinion.

Li Junwu nodded, Zhang Weixin did not delay any longer, and immediately left the study and went to the front to meet Zhang Neng, while the other three committee members waited for news in the study.

Zhang Weixin's meeting with Zhang Neng did not last long. Zhang Weixin, who had already made up his mind, deliberately behaved very arrogantly and arrogantly during the meeting, and did not take Zhang Neng in his eyes at all. He first became furious at Zhang Yongde's spies of the "Feiyan Hall" who harassed the Beiping Army several times, not only loudly reprimanded Zhang Fei, Zhang Yan's brothers and sisters, and even Zhang Neng, the deputy hall master, but also scolded Zhang Yongde, the mastermind behind the scenes, bloody, making Zhang Neng on the other side extremely embarrassed and disgraced. And after Zhang Nengqiang endured the dissatisfaction in his heart and lost all his smiles, he finally shifted the topic of the two sides away from the accusation of "Feiyantang" and began to ask him about the alliance and borrowing troops, but he was ridiculed and ridiculed by the other party. Zhang Weixin used the strategy of wanting to capture the old and indulge, gave full play to his language and writing skills, and fully displayed his ability to scold people without dirty words, and ridiculed and ridiculed Zhang Neng, Zhang Yongde behind him and even the entire Zhang family for this kind of "toad wants to eat swan meat", and very directly rejected this alliance intention that in his opinion did not benefit the Beiping army. It was not until Zhang Neng laid out the conditions for Zhang Yongde's alliance and borrowing troops, as well as a series of measures to be taken to achieve his so-called goal of "punishing the monarch and punishing traitors", that Zhang Weixin pretended to be attracted by the advantages of his willingness to assign the eight prefectures north of the Hutuo River to the Beiping Army, and began to seriously discuss relevant issues with the other party.

As the so-called "asking for a sky-high price and paying back the money on the spot", in line with the principle of making enough play, Zhang Weixin naturally would not accept the alliance and borrowing conditions proposed by the other party so easily. Therefore, after Zhang Neng said that in addition to the above-mentioned eight states north of the Hutuo River, the princes of the Beiping Army would also get the benefits of the princely title, he shook his head again and again and said: "What 'princely seal' is just a useless false name, what is the use of my brothers in the Beiping Army." Moreover, if our brothers really want these false titles, they can directly ask for them from the Chai Zhou court. Presumably, the little doll in Kaifeng City and his civil servants and generals didn't dare not give me the face of the Beiping Army, so why do you need the promise of your Zhang family. ”

Seeing that the other party was not satisfied with the "price" offered by himself, Zhang Neng wanted to explain and inquire about the other party's bottom line requirements. But before he could pick up the conversation, Zhang Weixin had already slapped the table and said, "Everyone is smart, and Zhang won't go around in circles with Hall Master Zhang." Before meeting Hall Master Zhang, our brothers had already drawn up a clause for forming an alliance and borrowing troops, so Hall Master Zhang might as well listen to it. ”

After speaking, without waiting for Zhang Neng to say anything, Zhang Weixin continued: "The conditions of our brothers are very simple.

First, in addition to the eight states north of the Hutuo River mentioned by Zhang Tang, the Qianning Army and Yingzhou, the two state armies controlled by the Khitans in those years, were placed under the jurisdiction of our Beiping Army.

Second, when Kaifeng is over, all the brothers of my Beiping Army will be knighted according to their merits, and the minimum shall not be lower than that of the earl.

Third, after the matter is completed, all the money and grain expenses of the Beiping Army to help your Zhang family go south to Kaifeng will be compensated by your Zhang family or the imperial court, and not a penny less.

Fourth, our brothers and their descendants Yongzhen Beiping Army, all the appointment and dispatch of officials under the jurisdiction of the Beiping Army are arranged by the Beiping Army Jiedu Mansion itself, and the imperial court cannot interfere.

Fifth, in the future, the imperial court will not be allowed to collect even a penny of taxes from our Beiping army.

In addition, in the past year, your 'Feiyan Tang' Tang advocated that Yan and his subordinates have done anything wrong in our Beiping Army. Not only did they secretly set up halls and recruit party henchmen, but they also seriously threatened the stability and security of our Beiping Army. He also used the power he had in his hands to coerce a certain fourteenth brother to betray the oath and betray the brother for his own use, so that after the matter was revealed, the fourteenth brother and his wife both apologized for their shamelessness in the face of the brothers. Our brothers were indignant at this, and vowed to arrest Zhang Yan and his hand Shiran and punish him severely. Therefore, one of the most important, critical, unquestionable, and non-negotiable conditions of our brothers, is to hand over Zhang Yan and his subordinate Shi Ran, who escaped from our Beiping Army, to our Beiping Army. ”

It stands to reason that the price offered by Zhang Weixin is actually not high. In exchange for the Great Zhou Dynasty in exchange for the land of the Ten States, his old Zhang family was not a loss. As far as the authority given to him by Zhang Yongde is concerned, Zhang Neng can agree to it immediately, so as to promote the alliance between the two sides as soon as possible. But in addition to the land, the Beiping Army also wants Zhang Yan's life, and this Zhang Neng will not dare to call the shots - in Zhang Neng's eyes, Shi Ran is just a pawn who can be abandoned at any time, and it is not worth mentioning. In particular, in the process of going north, he met Zhang Yan, who fled south in a hurry in the Dingzhou branch of the "Feiyan Hall", and knew that the Liangzi between Zhang Yan and the Beiping Army was quite deep, and if it was handed over to the Beiping Army, it would definitely be a dead end, and there was absolutely no possibility of survival. Although Zhang Yan died, he was likely to take over the other party's position and become the No. 2 person in the "Feiyan Hall" alongside Zhang Fei. But in any case, Zhang Yan is also the righteous daughter of her uncle Zhang Yongde, and her life and death are not within her control. Therefore, although he wanted to agree immediately, in the end, Zhang Neng still adopted a strategy of delaying the army, and proposed to Zhang Weixin that the matter was very important, and he still needed to report to his uncle before he could make a decision, and promised to give a reply to the Beiping Army within ten days.

Zhang Neng's answer was expected by Zhang Weixin, so he didn't continue to embarrass him, but first ridiculed Zhang Neng's identity in a contemptuous tone and was far from his own, and then "reluctantly" agreed to the other party's request, agreed to give him ten days to obtain Zhang Yongde's approval, and once again emphasized that there was no room for negotiation to hand over Zhang Yan and Shi Ran to the Beiping Army, and it must be followed.

In this regard, Zhang Neng nodded again and again and said yes, saying that he would completely report the requirements of the Beiping Army to his uncle, and he would never dare to miss half a word.

The price was set, and the meeting between the two sides came to an end. Zhang Neng's side sent people to contact Zhang Yongde, and the Beiping army also began to make preparations for Zuihou before going south, only waiting for the two sides to formally form an alliance and carry out that decisive action when it was most beneficial to their side.

Since it was only a fast horse to deliver the news, and Zhang Neng mobilized the support capabilities of the various halls of the "Feiyan Hall" along the way to the greatest extent within the scope of his authority. Therefore, it took only eight days from the messenger's departure from Beiping City to Zhang Yongde's reply being handed over to Zhang Neng. And Zhang Yongde's decision was no different from Zhang Neng's previous judgment, and he accepted the conditions proposed by the Beiping Army very happily. The only thing that surprised Zhang Neng was that while Zhang Yongde promised to hand over Zhang Yan and Shi Ran to the disposal of the Beiping Army, he also raised his own difficulties -- Zhang Yan and Shi Ran, who had escaped the capture of the Beiping Army and went south at great speed, had not appeared again after a short rest and left the Dingzhou branch of the "Feiyan Hall" a few days ago. At present, all the halls of the "Feiyan Hall" are making every effort to arrest them, and they also hope that the Beiping Army will be more forgiving and appropriately postpone the time for handing over the personnel. And once the Zhang family catches these two people, they will definitely be sent to Beiping City immediately, and they will never be untrustworthy.

Considering that what Zhang Neng said was consistent with the news obtained by the Beiping Army through various channels, Zhang Yan and Shi Ran had indeed avoided the control of the "Feiyan Hall", and there was no trace. Therefore, when Zhang Neng brought this matter together, Zhang Weixin did not embarrass the other party too much. Instead, after warning the other party that "if the agreement is violated, the Beiping Army will never give up, he officially signed an alliance with Zhang Yongde's group on behalf of the Beiping Army, and agreed with the other party on the time of starting the army, the route of the march and other details.

On the thirteenth day of the first lunar month of the ninth year of Xiande, Zhang Neng politely declined Zhang Weixin's invitation to stay until after the Shangyuan Festival, and set off with the covenant signed by both parties, and rushed back to Lanzhou without stopping.

On the 28th day of October of the ninth lunar calendar of Xiande, after some preparations, Zhang Yongde issued a letter of rebellion, calling on all the chief officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty, such as the Jiedu envoy and the defense envoy, to respond to what he had done, and to enter Kaifeng, Qingjun's side, and remove traitors with him.
