The two have not yet married, Yang Zhi can't stay in the princess's mansion for the night, and finally went back to his residence; the fourth sister saw Yang Zhi in the courtyard and smiled: "I thought you wouldn't come back, Lord Shi has been waiting for you for a long time." ”

The fourth sister is a concubine, so she is naturally a little angry, and there is a sour taste in and out of her words; Shi Mojie stood aside with an embarrassed face, this is Yang Zhi's housework, even if he is Yang Zhi's confidant, he must not intervene at this moment. Yang Zhi knew that Shi Mojie must have something to do with him, so he didn't talk to the fourth sister in detail, but just smiled and asked the fourth sister to go back to the room to rest first, so he took Shi Mojie to the study and asked, "What's the matter?"

Shi Mojie closed the door and said: "I have found the descendant of Li Dezhao, the king of Xiping, his name is Li Zhu, and he is now in the command of Wang Qingjun in Ezhou. ”

"King Jing's people, then forget it. Yang Zhi frowned, Li Dezhao was the uncle of Li Yuanhao, the founding emperor of Western Xia, and was canonized as the king of Xiping by the Great Song Dynasty, and was killed by Li Yuanhao because he wanted to belong to the Great Song Dynasty; After more than a hundred years, this branch has long been obscure, Yang Zhi originally wanted to make some articles, but if it was King Jing's person, whether that Li Zhu was the Li Zhu he had seen or not, Yang Zhi didn't want to have any ideas.

Shi Mojie obviously understood Yang Zhi's intentions, and arched his hand and said: "If Yang Shuai wants to cause civil strife in Western Xia, I have a candidate, the horse thief Black Eagle, Black Eagle is actually the descendant of Renduo Baozhong, called Duo Renji." Renduo Baozhong was the right wing of Xia Chongzong's Zhuoluo supervising army, and later because he wanted to defect to the Great Song Dynasty was dismissed and imprisoned, and the whole clan became a slave; Duo Renji is the youngest son of Renduo Baozhong, rescued by several of Renduo Baozhong's subordinates, and became a horse thief when he grew up, and now our army has the advantage, Duo Renji wants to defect to our army, and now he has arrived in Qinzhou. ”

Yang Zhi had read the official documents sent by Shi Mojie and Liu Qi, and knew that the Black Eagle horse thieves were active at the junction of Song, Xia, and Tubo, and once threatened the trade route from the Western Regions to Hezhou, and finally retreated to Hehuang under the blows of three sides; It's just that he didn't expect Black Eagle to have such an identity, Yang Zhi asked, "Can you determine the identity?"

"Yes, Zhang Jie, the Xihe Road transfer envoy, has seen this person, and has confirmed that Duo Renji's appearance is very similar to that of Renduo Baozhong. Shi Mojie said with certainty that Zhang Jie was a veteran general in the army, and his qualifications were not at all comparable to Yang Zhi and Qu Duan, but after Wang Hou was transferred away, Zhang Jie offended Tong Guan, who held great power, and was once demoted to six levels, and later Qian Gai and Xie Liang arrived in Shaanxi before they gradually came into use; after Yang Zhi arrived, he saw that Zhang Jie was already nearly 60 years old, so he asked Zhang Jie to change to a civilian post as a transfer envoy.

The most important thing is that the officer of the Great Song Dynasty who was in contact with Renduo Baozhong at that time was Zhang Jie, and Zhang Jie, who had met Renduo Baozhong himself more than once; Yang Zhi hesitated a little and asked: "Do you know anything about this person, and do people outside know his identity?" You must know that the Western Xia is still a tribal system, and there are many people who look alike. ”

Shi Mojie shook his head and said, "I heard that Black Eagle is very cruel, but in order to avoid the Tangut people, he often disappears for a few months and then reappears, and no one knows his details; Because of this, Liu Qi didn't even let Duorenji enter Hezhou, and sent him directly to Qinzhou, and I don't think I can find anyone who can prove his identity. ”

"So you sent this person to me as soon as possible. Yang Zhi sneered: "When I am a fortune-telling fairy, no matter what, this point in time is a little weird, and we can't refuse in order to win the hearts of the people." Did Dorenji behave abnormally along the way, and he said that he didn't say anything else?"

Shi Mojie said with a smile: "Naturally, he showed his identity to join our army to rescue the clansmen, and then live a prosperous and prosperous life, so he wanted to be a thousand commanders from the beginning." It is estimated that Liu Qi suspected that Duo Renji's team of horse thieves was only more than 200 people, and if it was given to the commander, it would only be nominal; ”

"If you want to be an official, it's no problem, as long as you are self-motivated, so that you can arrange it with confidence. Yang Zhi agreed very happily: "Tell Duo Renji that he can be a commander, but he must recruit most of the soldiers by himself, he will recruit seven or eight hundred cavalry, and we will supplement the rest." Otherwise, he will first attack the grain and grass of the walled fort in Western Xia, so how many people are missing, I will make up for him. ”

Shi Mojie smiled and said: "This is no problem, I will let him tell you in person, Liu Qi asked him to pretend to be an officer, and now he is in charge of the Fu Division, I have asked, he has a plan." ”

Shi Mojie sincerely wanted Yang Zhi to see this person, otherwise he wouldn't have done so much homework, Yang Zhi nodded: "Then call and take a look." ”

Shi Mojie went out to find Duo Renji, who was taller than Yang Zhi, with a burly body, bright eyes, a hard voice, and a fluent Chinese speaker; Yang Zhi asked some general questions and said, "I understand your thoughts about wanting to save the people, do you know where they are?"

"Of course I do. Duorenji hugged his fists and said: "Yang Shuai, they are in Jinji Mountain, and there are many temples in Jinji Mountain, all of which are pastures allocated by the Western Xia Imperial Court, and my clansmen are in the pastures." ”

Jinji Mountain is located between Qingtongxia and the Yellow River, along the Jinji Mountain and Helan Mountain, it is indeed a pasture with fertile water and grass, and it is an important pasture of the Western Xia Army; Yang Zhi nodded and said: "That location is not far from the Helan Mountain Supervision Division of the Western Xia, at most it is only forty or fifty miles, and there is no hope for saving people. Fortunately, your identity has not been revealed, so you should wait for our army to enter Helan Mountain in the future and then save people. ”

"Later?" Duo Renji's eyes froze: "Yang Shuai means that he is not ready to send troops now?"

Yang Zhi laughed: "Send troops now? Who did you listen to, we have just negotiated peace with the Western Xia, unless we find out that the Western Xia is plotting wrong, we will not take action easily." I understand your feelings, but after so many years, you won't care about these few months, I need your identity as a horse thief, check on the situation in Western Xia in Hexi, and harass his rear. As for why I did this, I don't think I need to explain. ”

Yang Zhi naturally won't reveal any information, Duo Renji is at most a pawn that can be used, and if he can't send troops, he won't have much of a role in attracting people.
