When Lu Zhishen went to Xiuzhou, Gongsun Sheng set off to Jincheng at the same time to report the news, the decision of the imperial court was so bizarre, Gongsun Sheng in order to prevent someone from intercepting, all the way to the north to release the news, he went directly to Luoyang Dongsunji, Kou Yi has been pretending to be a trader to hide in Sunji, received the news and Gongsun Sheng crossed the Yellow River at night and detoured to Taihang Mountain. The two ran for four days in one breath before arriving at Ma Qin's cottage, and Ma Qin left Gongsun Sheng to accompany him to guard the village, and immediately mobilized two hundred horsemen to accompany Kou Yi to Qi County.

Yang Zhi was overjoyed to see Kou Yida, brought him to the room and asked, "The complexion is good, it seems that Luoyang's days are still moist, and the situation in Bianliang is decided?"

Kou Yi looked at Yang Zhi and said: "Song Jin talks about peace, cedes Yunzhong, Taiyuan, Zhongshan, and Hejian, Jin Guo wants you and Zhao Kai, did you have already guessed that there would be this result?"

Yang Zhi asked about the situation in Bianliang, shook his head and said: "I'm not a god, I just made all kinds of estimates, and the waiting time is the most difficult, but fortunately, in the past, after the loss of the Daimyo's Mansion, Deng beggar and others have gone to Yangzhou, so don't go, change your name and go to Jincheng Fish and Sheep Fresh Wine Store to be the shopkeeper." ”

"Are you worried that someone is going to assassinate you?" Kou Yi himself is a killer and is the most sensitive to such things: "Then you don't need fish and sheep fresh, most people haven't seen me, I just pretend to be a vendor." ”

Yang Zhi laughed: "I'm not so afraid of death, it's because I have an intelligence network in the north, and I will contact the fish and sheep fresh wine shop in the future, and when you get there, you will be in charge of this intelligence network." ”

The wine shop is originally full of people, and it is common for guests to talk to the owner of the wine shop, Kou nodded and said: "That's no problem, I am also from the Central Plains, I should do something." What's next for you?"

Yang Zhizhengse said: "Wanyan Lou's stay in Luzhou is expected, now that the siege of Taiyuan has been lifted, I don't think that I and Huang Di can kill Luzhou to eliminate the 20,000 horses of Wanyan Lou's room, or recruit homeless bandits and strengthen the power of Taihang Mountain, Gongsun Sheng is in the cottage, just to help Ma Qin defend the village." ”

Yang Zhi was not sure that history would turn a corner here, in case Zhao Kai was unwilling to go north, he could only find another way; but now that he had not reached that point, many things could not be said even by a confidant like Kou Yi, at least we had to see what attitude Zhang Xiaochun and Wang Yu of Taiyuan had after the Jin army no longer posed a threat.

Taiyuan saw that the Jin army did retreat, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, opened the city gate and released the people, but it was also safe, for such a long time, Taiyuan has resumed traffic with Qi County, Daizhou and other places. Zhang Xiaochun learned that Yang Zhi began to recruit troops, and specially came to Qi County, he understood that the situation in Taiyuan was delicate now, and now Wanyan Lou's room was concerned about Yang Zhi and Huang Di's two armies, once Yang Zhi and others retreated, the Jin army would come again. Zhang Xiaochun and Yang Zhi are acquaintances, Yang Zhi still greeted Zhang Xiaochun's arrival outside the city gate, and did the proper etiquette, Zhang Xiaochun grabbed Yang Zhi's hand and said: "If it weren't for the chief manager, he cut through the thorns." Taiyuan is difficult to protect. ”

Yang Zhi said politely: "The adults laughed, Taiyuan is all up to the adults to stick to it, otherwise they wouldn't be able to wait for today's moment." ”

The two laughed, Huang Di also stepped forward to salute, he is Zhang Xiaochun's subordinate, naturally he can't be as casual as Yang Zhi; then everyone took the people into the city, sat down in the county government, and let the idle people and others all avoid, leaving only a branch of flowers Cai Qing to wait on the side, Zhang Xiaochun asked: "Manager Yang, how to fight behind Taiyuan?"

The news from Bianliang was that Song Qinzong was going to give himself to the Jin people, Yang Zhi had a plan in his heart, and said seriously: "Now that Yelu Yu has captured Datong Mansion, the situation in Yunzhong is difficult to say, I naturally led the people in Yunzhong to withdraw from Hedong, and Lord Zhang should immediately mobilize troops and horses to Taiyuan to strengthen the defense and prevent the comeback of Wanyan Lou's room." ”

Zhang Xiaochun was surprised: "Yao Gu's army is attacking Luzhou, and Wanyan Lou can still go north." ”

Yang Zhi said in a low voice: "There are some things that you and I can't predict, after Yan Zongfu's army is under Bianliang City, anything can happen." Wanyan Lou's room is strong and strong, and he has never been defeated, in my opinion, Yao Gu will lose sooner or later. If you are worried about the safety of other places, it is better to transfer a little less men and horses in each place, strengthen the strength of Taiyuan to more than 10,000 people, and then replenish some brave soldiers, and prepare more grain and grass and equipment to defend the city. ”

Zhang Xiaochun agreed: "I will serve to defend the territory, General Huang, how many of your subordinates are there?"

Zhang Xiaochun's purpose today is to transfer Huang Di's men and horses into Taiyuan, Huang Di is not unwilling to go, but Wang Yu is in control, and Huang Di can't command the battle when he goes to Taiyuan, not to mention that Yang Zhi and Huang Di said their speculation about the future situation, and they didn't see Yang Zhi's guess of ceding Taiyuan Holy Decree and Zhang Xiaochun's attitude, Huang Di didn't want to make a final decision. Huang Di replied: "Because General Manager Yang plans to return to Shiyunzhong, my army has been scattered in two states and five counties, and there are only 3,000 people in Qi County at present, of which 2,000 are brave soldiers. ”

Zhang Xiaochun has been an official for many years, and he knows that Huang Di's attitude must have hidden feelings, and said with a smile: "Taiyuan also has two or three thousand men and horses, and many have been killed in battle in recent months. ”

Zhang Xiaochun's son Zhang Hao still has 20,000 horses in Fenzhou, Zhang Xiaochun is still not ready to transfer to Taiyuan at this time, Yang Zhi can only secretly laugh at Zhang Xiaochun's idea is too ideal, and said with a smile: "Do you want to lose these places in Daizhou easily again when you finish Yan Lou's room going north, so that Taiyuan City will become an isolated city in the shortest possible time, why not transfer troops from those places that are not yet battlefields to reinforce?"

Yang Zhi is a famous general, and his words are reasonable, Zhang Xiaochun said with a smile: "Wang Yu also knows about this, but he is afraid that the people who enter the city will not be able to fight, but they will harass the morale of the army." ”

Yang Zhi smiled and said: "Then what else do you want Wang Yu to do, if Taiyuan is already a dry fish, no amount of foreign aid will work; Master Zhang, you are in Taiyuan, you must let go of the obsession in your heart, don't care about the meaning of Bianliang, and don't think about the grievances between you and Tong Guan, it is your duty to protect Taiyuan and the people of Hedong." Now there are tens of thousands of displaced people in Hedong, and it is not difficult to recruit one or two hundred thousand people among them, and the most important thing in Taiyuan is armor and weapons, Lord Zhang, am I right?"

Zhang Xiaochun was originally prepared, but when Yang Zhi said this, he suddenly had no idea, the things on the battlefield originally needed the support of the military attaché, Wang Yu was not there, and Zhang Xiaochun didn't know how to negotiate with Yang Zhi. Huang Di said: "I am a rough man, I only have to fight, if necessary, I will be appeased in Daizhou and other places, and then send the recruited soldiers to Taiyuan." ”
