Chapter 1248: A Trip to Youzhou

"No, you can't. Zhang Xiaochun strongly objected: "I'm afraid that these 20,000 people, like Wu Jue's subordinates, were used by Yang Zhi to lure the enemy and lost in vain." ”

The first battle of Wu Jue really made Taiyuan entangled for a few days, and everyone could see that Yang Zhi was deliberate and taught a lesson to those who secretly made small moves, but the casualties of the Western Xia army were as high as tens of thousands, and no one could say more. According to Youzhou's official documents, Meng Yue and the others are still in prison, and it is foreseeable that even if Yang Zhi does not kill Meng Yue, Meng Yue will be humiliated and lose face; as for who leaked Wu Yue's plan, it is a nonsensical case at all, and it is possible that Xizuo has died in the Yellow River, or fled back to Western Xia.

Zhang Xiaochun talked about this matter, but he really couldn't find a reason to oppose it for a while, and he also knew that there were only more than 20,000 troops, even if Zhang Shen, Yang Zongmin, Zhe Kewen and others who originally intended to go on the expedition, they would not take this head now. Anyway, it can't be stopped, what Zhang Xiaochun wants is just to make a statement in front of Zhao Kai.

Lu Yihao saw it in his eyes and couldn't help but feel a little worried, Wu Jue's matter is unforgivable from Qinzhou's standpoint, especially Meng Yue, whether there is an order from King Yun or not, it is all a violation of the rules of the game, and Lu Yihao also does not think that Meng Yue is innocent in this matter. Lu Yihao knew that Yang Zhi would not accept the result of eating Coptis chinensis dumbly, even if Yang Zhi and the forces behind him would be forced to make compromises under all kinds of pressure, but then they would definitely spare no effort to hit Meng Yue, firstly to prove their innocence, and secondly, to warn.

Lu Yihao knows that Meng Yue and Sun Ang are just a cover to stand in front, and there must be Zhang Xiaochun's handwriting behind him, if Yang Zhi wants to pay tribute to Zhang Xiaochun one day, it is estimated that Zhang Xiaochun will not have the same good luck as Yang Zhi. Now the key is to see what Zhao Kai thinks, whether he wants to suppress Yang Zhi, or whether he really has other ideas.

Zhao Kai shook his head and said: "Once you succeed, your bones will wither, and you will fight, this is a way that no one can do." Master Cao, Meng Yue and Sun Ang are now becoming more and more disagreeable, and they have gone to Shaanxi to spy on the military situation; they don't know that Yang Zhi and I have said that if these technologies are popularized in the Dingbei Army, they will be easily obtained by other forces, and we will not even have this advantage at that time. You go to Youzhou, escort Meng Yue and the others back, and by the way, appease Yang Zhi and let him attack Xiazhou with all his might. ”

"Lord Wang. Zhang Xiaochun shouted, and the seed master Min interrupted Zhang Xiaochun's words and said: "If our army conquers Xiazhou, it can solve the worries of Jingzhou, and when necessary, we can directly send troops from Xiazhou to attack the Jinguo Tiande Army and other places; ”

Cao Qianli was reluctant to take this trip in his heart, Yang Zhi was in a difficult situation now, Zhao Kai's intention was simple, that is, to give Yang Zhi more than 20,000 people, so that Yang Zhi and the entire Western Xia would fight to the end, once Yang Zhi captured Xiazhou and Lingzhou, Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, would definitely send someone to pick peaches. Cao Qianli is half a Jianghu person, he knows a little more than the seed master Min and others, Zhao Kai's attitude towards Yang Zhi is caused by the statement of the Heavenly Master's Mansion and the Thousand Tribulations Gate of the Illusory Sea, no matter how high Yang Zhi's prestige in the army is, compared to the influence of the Heavenly Master's Mansion in the government and the opposition, it is still a big distance, if Zhao Kai does not forget the dragon chair, sometimes he has to ignore his likes and dislikes.

Cao Qianli arrived in Youzhou, and Li Guang came with him, Li Guang was suspicious, and asked Zhao Kai to resign; Zhao Kai did not allow it, but knew that Li Guang's temper was stubborn, so he simply asked Li Guang to come to Youzhou, a Li Guang and Yang Zhi can talk, and Li Guang has a point, will not be affected by Yang Zhi's personal feelings, and has a word for the actual situation in Youzhou. When Cao Qianli arrived, he heard that Fan Zhixu had sent Chen Zhenghui over, and he was immediately very angry.

Cao Qianli understood that the Military Supervision Department was also suspicious of the losses of Wu Ji's army, Yang Zhi never took risks with his troops, and it was rare to use his own men in exchange for victory like this; sure enough, the more friends he was, the clearer he was that Fan Zhixu was really dutiful, and there must be ulterior motives in it. The more Cao Qianli thought about it, the more irritable he became, and when he walked all the way into the courtyard of Zhifusi, he always wanted to scold, but it was not appropriate to think about scolding Fan Zhixu, he was just a qualified official.

Yang Zhi stood in the middle courtyard to greet him, Zhao Kai is not the emperor after all, what he brought to Cao Qianli is only a military talisman instead of a holy decree, Yang Zhi can't break the rules of the imperial court; Cao Qianli saw that Yang Zhi didn't have an anxious expression, and secretly said in his heart that it was okay, and said with a smile on his face: "Yang Shuai, congratulations, King Yun has decided to entrust all the Western Xia wars to you, and all the elite soldiers in Yin and Sui will be transferred to Youzhou for your command." ”

Yang Zhi took the tiger talisman with a serious face and said: "Xiaguan must live up to the trust of King Yun and break through Helan Mountain." ”

Cao Qianli's eyelids jumped, and he stepped through the lack of Helan Mountain? What is Yang Zhi going to do? Aren't you going to fight Xingzhou? Isn't it? As long as Lingzhou and Xiazhou are defeated, Xingzhou is not within reach; however, Cao Qianli has a very good relationship with Yang Zhi, and he tacitly did not say anything, and followed Yang Zhi to the inner hall. Li Guang didn't react from beginning to end, except for a greeting with Yang Zhi, the rest of the time seemed to be air.

Yang Zhi was accompanied by Qu Duan, Wu Jue, Li Yanxian, and Liu Ziyu, Wu Jue continued to stay in office after taking all the responsibilities, and has been waiting for recruits from various places in the past few days; Yang Zhi was powerful in Shaanxi, but his tone seemed to be just the prefect of a state: "Lord Cao, after Brother Richard's reinforcements arrived, Yue Fei had withdrawn to Anlechuan. In terms of the current situation, if it can succeed, it will be God bless the Great Song. ”

Li Guang shook his head directly and said: "Yang Shuai, you haven't pressed it with all your strength, I understand your concerns, Ma Shen, Sun Ang and the like are just mediocre people, and victory and defeat on the battlefield are impermanent, but now is an opportunity, Xiazhou and Lingzhou only have a total of more than 100,000 Western Xia troops, why can't you give it a try?"

This is Li Guang, if you change a person, Yang Zhi will definitely think that he is here to get a piece of the pie, Yang Zhi smiled and said: "Lord Li, Zhang Xiaochun went to Taiyuan, saying that it has been half a month to prepare military food and materials for this expedition, and the front line has not received it at all, and the supplies in Shaanxi are tight." ”

Cao Qianli saw through Yang Zhi's trick at a glance, and sneered and said: "Yang Shuai, Yue Fei is attacking the city around Lingzhou, even before Brother Richard arrived, Yue Fei did not attack the city, he was still raising military rations, and Youzhou should be able to last for a month, if you say this, King Yun will not care." ”

Cao Qianli didn't really want to settle accounts with Yang Zhi, but Yang Zhi was the boss of Shaanxi, he was such a low-key person, Qu Duan and others were afraid that they would be even more low-key, Cao Qianli was on a mission after all, and he still hoped that Yang Zhi would actively send troops.
