Zhao Ding and the others were dumbfounded, if the army on Bianliang's side did not have supplies from Jiangnan, it would not be a robbery; Zhao Duofu admired his third brother Zhao Kai and brother-in-law Yang Zhi, and the situation from Runzhou to Hedong was not as good as that of Huainan. Ye Meng got the pot pass and went back, followed by Liu Tao all the way to Taiyuan, Zhao Duofu saw Zhao Kai, and after saying what Song Huizong meant, he didn't care about anything, and asked Zong Musk Yue and the fourth sister to accompany him to play in Taiyuan City.

Zhao Kai received the Eight Hundred Miles Express in front of him, and after discussing with Zong Ze, he asked people to inform Yang Zhi to come to Taiyuan, even if Zhao Ding and others were behind, Zhao Kai believed that it would not be long in time; Zhao Kai clearly told Zhao Ding and others that Yang Zhi had been informed, and Yang Zhi would talk about it when Yang Zhi came. Zhao Ding and the others could only sigh at the weight of Yang Zhi in Zhao Kai's mind, and waited patiently in the post house.

And Zhang Xiaochun, Sun Ang and others listened to the holy decree, and suggested that Zhao Kai send someone to take over Bianliang, on the one hand, even if Tokyo Bianliang is broken, after all, it is the center of the Great Song Dynasty, and entering Bianliang is originally a symbol, especially the Dingbei Army is almost speaking by force, and Bianliang has a greater influence on internal and external affairs. On the other hand, now Zhao Kai's side can really gain a firm foothold in Bianliang, it is nothing more than Zong Ze and Yang Zhi, any person who leaves Taiyuan is also an opportunity to balance power for Zhang Xiaochun and others.

Zhao Kai can only sigh that while he is improving, others are also improving, He Su, who gave his father this idea, really saw through the hearts of the people, and this means just hit his own weakness; fortunately, Yang Zhi arrived the next morning, and the people of the Dingbei Army met their heads first.

Zong Ze introduced the situation and said: "Bianliang and Runzhou are so scoundrels, it seems that it is impossible to send troops, once Bianliang is lost, Huaixi will be difficult to recover, which will cause the people's hearts to panic again and hit the morale of the Jin army." From a general strategic point of view, Bianliang must be defended, and now we are powerless to expand in the north, if we can take Bianliang, it is not a bad thing, the key is who to go and how to go. ”

This Sun Ang, who has always wanted to be released, will not fight, and it takes a certain amount of courage to fight in a place where he is not familiar with life, Sun Ang knows his own catties and two; the hall was quiet for a while, Zhang Xiaochun said: "It is still the most stable for Yang Zhi to go, after all, the army on the middle of the river road is his subordinates, and when necessary, he can also assist in the battle on both sides." ”

Zhao Kai nodded and asked Yang Zhi: "Yang Zhi, it's up to you to go, tell me, what are your plans?"

Yang Zhi thought for a while and said: "I think that if the Dingbei Army wants to gain a firm foothold in Bianliang, it can't care about the messy things in the imperial court, everything we do is to fight a war, and we need Tokyo to stay in this title, but we must demarcate the scope of the Gyeonggi Road, at least Zhengzhou, Huazhou and other four auxiliary places; secondly, our duty is not to defeat the Jin army, but to hold the Gyeonggi Road." With this premise in mind, we can formulate targeted plans and appoint personnel. ”

Fighting a war requires troops, depth and food, and it is impossible to hold Kaifeng without replenishment around, which is the bottom line given by the Dingbei Army, otherwise there is no need to defend a lonely city. The Gyeonggi Road that Yang Zhi said was originally set up by Song Zhenzong, not the Gyeonggi Road set up by Cai Jing; the Gyeonggi Road that Cai Jing later re-established was larger, and the four auxiliaries were Zhengzhou, Yingchangfu, Kaidefu, and Gongzhou, especially Gongzhou, which was almost next to Yingtianfu.

Liu Tao asked, "What about the army?"

Yang Zhi smiled slightly and said: "Hedong is our foundation, my idea is not to use the troops stationed in various places under the jurisdiction of Taiyuan, only from Taihang Mountain and Hezhong Road, Zhengzhou to mobilize people and horses, if you can control Bianliang is the best, no, I will take the men and horses, along Zhengzhou and then return to Puzhou." ”

Zhao Kai said lightly: "If you really want to, don't rush back to Hedong, you can look at the situation in Luoyang and Nanyang." Everyone laughed, if Yang Zhi couldn't stop it, Wang Xiang might have run away, Luoyang was on the opposite side of Hezhong Road, and he occupied Luo at this time

Yang is also a good idea. But jokes are jokes, everything depends on whether Bianliang can agree to the plan of the Northern Army, if Bianliang Qunchen still wants to control government affairs, then everything is considered to have not been thought of.

Zhao Kai then invited Shen Chong and others to come to discuss, and Zhao Ding and several people also understood that Yang Zhi was the most hopeful to do this Tokyo stay, and persuading Yang Zhi was as important as persuading Zhao Kai, as Zhao Kai's first confidant If Yang Zhi did not agree, Zhao Kai would not be able to make the determination to invest in troops. After a few greetings between the two sides, Yang Zhi listened to the introductions of Shen Chong, Xu Jingheng and others, and asked Xu Jingheng the first question: "Is King Kang staying in Tokyo or the prince?"

The audience was stunned, only Xu Jingheng noticed that something was wrong, but Yang Zhi's question could not help but answer: "Stay in Tokyo." ”

Yang Zhi nodded and asked Zhao Ding: "Which one is more important, Bianliang or Chuzhou?"

Zhao Dingming knew that Yang Zhi was secretly accusing King Kang of Zhao Gou, but the facts were in front of him, so he had to answer helplessly: "Bianliang is important, but King Kang appointed Fan Ne to stay behind and rely on Kaifeng City to defend the Jin army." ”

King Kang is not the emperor, in fact, he is not qualified to appoint a substitute to stay behind, Zhao Ding is a little lacking in confidence, Yang Zhi smiled slightly and asked: "Then what authority does King Kang have to let Zhang Bangchang serve as the deputy envoy of Jiedu?" Set up the Privy Council, Yushitai, and Zhongshu Province in Bianliang, Chuzhou does not belong to the management of Tokyo, King Kang stayed in Tokyo and left the station without permission, why don't you dissuade him, King Kang, Liang Yangzu, Liu Guangshi and others escaped from the battle, why didn't they order the recall." If you agree that Fan Ne can resist the Jin army, what are you doing in Hedong?"

Shen Chong sighed in his heart, he understood that Yang Zhi had talked about the death of Bianliang, this must be the result of Zhao Kai and Yang Zhi and others discussing in advance, but others may not dare to speak so bluntly; Zhao Ding stood up and arched his hand: "Lord Yang, let's not say these high-sounding words, we can't control the army under King Kang, Kaifeng is in chaos, the Holy Lord and we all hope that the army of Taiyuan will go to Kaifeng to assist King Kang to hold Bianliang." ”

Zhao Ding is still very honorable, and knows that arguing about these matters is just to embarrass himself and others, and it is better to talk about sending troops; Yang Zhi shook his head and said coldly: "Lord Zhao is wrong, if you want to send troops to the Northern Army, the imperial court should issue an order to dismiss King Kang and others, and investigate Zhang Bangchang's act of claiming the emperor and Du Chong, who gave up the Daimyo's Mansion, otherwise the officials below will flee one by one when the time comes, so what kind of war will there be." ”

Zhao Ding was dumbfounded, and could only sit down slowly; the topic given by Yang Zhi was too big, as shocking as when King Yun went north, but it was precisely because of this that Zhao Ding and the others had to consider the problems behind this topic.
