Several traders also have the same opinion, the Dingbei Army's labor expedition is naturally for profit, and Yang Zhi's north-south journey is now also a big business in the clouds, and there is no such thing as ruining his own signboard and reputation. The vendors just asked if they needed to take care of the Dingbei Army, Yan Qing interjected with a smile: "It is estimated that General Manager Yang doesn't look down on this money, I just accompanied the head of the Zhe family to meet Yang Zhi, and the other party's attitude is very good, as long as everyone does not participate in the war, I think it will be fine." ”

Yan Qing's popularity in Volcano Town is not bad, he is righteous and bold on weekdays, and he did not deny it, and the traders knew that Yan Qing did not tell a lie, and they all nodded and said goodbye;

Yang Zhi learned in the village that a team came from the southwest and south, and hurriedly ordered Basi Xuanling to lead a thousand horsemen out to check, it turned out to be Wen Bohu, the supervisor of Wuzhou soldiers and horses, and Yang Yizhong of Qizhou came with men and horses, Wen Bohu led a thousand Wuzhou military horses to come, and Yang Yizhong brought three hundred soldiers. Yang Zhi was overjoyed when he heard the news, and personally greeted the two of them into the village to sit down and reminisce.

Wen Bohu knew that he had no background in Taiyuan, did not belong to the old department of Zhao Kai in the clouds, and did not belong to the Taiyuan officials, Yushui took the initiative to ask to go to Wuzhou with Li Zhen to serve as the supervisor of soldiers and horses, and recruited nearly 2,000 people in Wuzhou, and learned that Yang Zhi sent troops to the Volcano Army, Wen Bohu and Li Zhen discussed, and led a thousand people to respond, but the war horses were missing, only eighty or ninety. Yang Yizhong heard that Yang Zhi had marched into the Volcano Army and brought a group of young people from the township and clan to help in the battle.

Yang Zhi was in urgent need of men and horses now, so he immediately allocated war horses, replenished Wen Bohu with 400 horses, and asked Wen Bohu to lead people to supervise the construction of the village by the Western Xia captives; when Jia Qiong accompanied Wen Bohu out, Yang Zhicai asked Yang Yizhong: "How did Uncle allow you to come out?"

Yang Yizhong's grandfather, Yang Zongmin, is currently the head of the Yongxing Military Road, and he is in Tongzhou, so he definitely doesn't know what is going on here; but Yang Yizhong's father Yang Zhen is now the Zhizhai of Jianning Zhai in Linzhou, Yang Zhi wants to know whether Yang Yizhong's actions are allowed by Yang Zhen, Yang Yizhong said proudly: "I didn't say hello, as long as I fight the Xixia people, I will be strong, I don't care what the Dingbei Army forbids the army, maybe one day King Yun can also go to Bianliang." ”

Yang Zhi smiled and shook his head, in the minds of the Great Song people, they all understood that King Yun was singing against Song Qinzong Zhao Huan, and who he went to was just gambling on his own net worth; Yang Zhen may not know what Yang Yizhong did, but now he must pretend not to know, fortunately, Yang Yizhong is a general, his mouth is also tight, and he brings people who are good at fighting, so Yang Zhi let Yang Yizhong have a separate battalion and recruit and expand by himself first.

Yang Yizhong asked Yang Zhi: "How many people have been expanded?"

"The more the merrier. Yang Zhi said without hesitation: "To 1,000 people, I will give you a village in Volcano Prefecture, and to 2,000 people, I will give you Volcano Town." The most important thing now is to find someone to harvest the crops in the land of the Eight Halls between the Tiande Army and Yunnei Prefecture, and Yue Fei sent news that the harvest will start in another ten days and half a month. ”

Yang Yizhong said with a smile: "This is easy to do, it turns out that the Khitan collects grain, in order to avoid war, it is basically each tribe to send people, and the harvest is fifty-five, aren't you recruiting people now, as long as you are willing to form an alliance, let you participate, I guarantee that they will help you collect it, and send it to Shuozhou, of course, you have to open up a field in Shuozhou, so that they can change something by the way." ”

Yang Zhi pondered: "The method is good, but someone needs to be responsible, and my ultimate goal is to recruit Tibetan talents." ”

Jia Qiong, who came in with Yang Yizhong, said: "Chief, I'll come and promise to complete the task." ”

Jia Qiong himself is a native of Qizhou, and he was in charge of Tuntian in Yingzhou, Yang Zhi nodded and said: "Cai Fu is in Montenegro, let Basi Xuanling send three hundred cavalry to you, and count the tribes he contacts." In addition, in the land of the Eight Pavilions, we must reiterate that no matter what tribe people are Han, Khitan, Zangcai, or any tribe, as long as they are willing to join our Dingbei Army, we welcome him, and we will give him a place to live. Don't go near Tiande Army and Guihua Prefecture, the rest of the grain in the land of the five pavilions will be divided fifty-fifty, and the materials exchanged in Shuozhou, I will let Lei Heng prepare them and exchange them outside the city. ”

Jia Qiong calmly agreed, the two pavilions of the Tiande Army must be the Xingliao Army, and the Naturalization Prefecture is too close to the Jin people, and it can't be transported back if it is cut; Jia Qiong took Yang Zhi's order and token, and went out with Yang Yizhong, Yang Zhi stood up and breathed a sigh of relief, the grain in the land of the Eight Pavilions can finally get a part, and it is time to solve the problem of Volcano Town.

Yang Zhi was actually very hesitant at the moment, whether to directly pull out the stronghold of the Xixia people and arrest Zhang Shiheng and others, Yang Zhi thought that in the end he decided to use the strategy of crossing the sky and the sea, and found Yang Yue and Wen Bohu to discuss: "I am going to leave 2,000 people in your headquarters to defend Henggu Village, I took 3,000 people to protect the water village, pretending to rebuild the village, but suddenly killed the Yellow River, went straight to Jingzhou, and joined forces with Yue Fei to capture Jingzhou." ”

Yang Yue pondered and said: "Two thousand Western Xia army captives are a trouble, the Western Xia people are inherently capricious, and we have too few people left, unless, if necessary, we have the right to dispose of them all." ”

Yang Yue grew up in the Liao State and was deeply influenced by the Khitans, so he did not have any mental burden about slaughtering captives, and said it as if it were commonplace; Wen Bohu was shocked when he heard this, and killed 2,000 captives in one go, which would be criticized. Yang Zhi shook his head and said: "There is no need for this, it just so happens that Che Dongxing has not come back yet, I asked Che Xitu to take a few prisoners to find Zhang Shiheng in Volcano Town, as long as the Zhang family leaves their belongings and leaves, I will release these two thousand people, and the Zhang family's property is ransom." ”。

Wen Bohu took a breath, and secretly said in his heart that it was okay, and letting the Tangut people pay the ransom was a way to save himself from discrediting himself. Zhang Shiheng heard what Che Xitu said, asked clearly that there were really 2,000 Xixia people captive, and immediately ran to meet Yang Zhi, Zhang Shiheng was slightly fat, and looked like a rich and noble family, and asked Yang Zhi curiously: "Since Manager Yang knows that we are Xixia merchants, why don't you forcibly drive us away, isn't this giving us 2,000 people for nothing?"

It is really not easy to be able to be on the same level as Zhe Kefu, and it can be seen at a glance that Yang Zhi has other plans, lest there is a big pit dug by the Dingbei army in front of him; Yang Zhi asked Cai Qing to take Zhang Shiheng's entourage to rest in other tents, and then he said unequivocally: "I have no ill feelings towards the people of Western Xia, Western Xia was originally part of the Central Plains, but brothers split up, even if I arrived in Xingzhou one day, I still said so." So we are only at war with each other, not extermination, I heard that Brother Zhang is the descendant of Prime Minister Zhang Yuan, and he will not forget where his ancestors are, right?"
