Yang Zhi patted Xu Ning on the shoulder and said, "The truth can't be hidden, since Master Fan wants you to find me, they must also have opinions, listen to their thoughts." ”

Yang Zhi and the two got on their horses and galloped to Fan's mansion, Fan Zhixu, Su Yuanjing and Zhang Bangchang were waiting, Yang Zhi stepped forward and saluted one by one, Fan Zhixu waved his hand and said, "No courtesy." Yang Zhi, just now there was news from Haizhou that Zhang Shuye, who was already preparing to go to Qingzhou to serve as the governor of Qingzhou, killed 112 people, including Song Qing, the iron fan who stayed behind, and Li Li, the judge who urged the judge, to suppress the rebellion. This was a premeditated massacre, and the two places attacked at the same time, and as soon as Song Jiang left the army, he became a fish without water, and he was left to be slaughtered; ”

Yang Zhi didn't expect that Zhang Shuye and Zhe Keshi, these generals and famous ministers, were so vicious, they were really people who did great things, and they didn't care about other people's lives. Su Yuanjing said in a low voice: "Except for Hu Yanzhuo, Zhu Tong, Zhang Heng, and Peng Xi who stayed in the army, the rest of the people who escaped were Lu Zhishen, Han Tao, Fan Rui, and Guo Sheng who stayed in Hangzhou to play, Li Jun, Tong Wei, and Tong Meng who went directly to the East China Sea from Hangzhou, and Yan Qing and Dai Zong, who worked in Bianliang, a total of nine people. However, what is a bit troublesome is that Yan Shun and Yu Baosi, who were sent to Song Jiang by the Double Dragon Society, were also killed. ”

The Western Army only thinks that there are not enough people to kill people, who cares if you are a member of the Double Dragon Society, Fan Zhixu snorted and said: "You deserve it, who told them to stretch out their hands so long." ”

Yang Zhi took the list in his hand and looked at it carefully, even Huang Xin, the original officers, died in the army, indicating that Zhi Keshi really had a murderous intent, and he didn't leave any of them when he started. Yang Zhi thought for a while and asked, "Is Song Taigong dead?"

"Of course Song Taigong," Su Yuanjing suddenly couldn't go on, Song Taigong was just an ordinary person, if he was killed by Uncle Zhang, it wouldn't invite all the imperial historians, and there must be another dispute in the court later. Fan Zhixu looked at Yang Zhi and said: "The people above want you to go to Hangzhou, in the name of recruiting the Canglang battalion, the approval of the military department will be given to you early tomorrow morning, remember, you are not the main general, just to recruit soldiers, and Captain Tong will help you arrange everything in Hangzhou." ”

Yang Zhi muttered in his heart, he was on vacation, and he went on a business trip twice a month, but Yang Zhi understood that Fan Zhixu would only be Song Huizong, and he could not shirk this matter. Song Sanlang's thousands of soldiers have not been in peace for a long time, and they need to be appeased as soon as possible, if they are used to mutiny in front of the army, it will be a fatal blow;

Yang Zhi went back to discuss with Zhu Wu, arranged everything, went to the military headquarters the next day to receive the official documents, and took Yang Chun, Zhang Qing, Zou Yuan, and Zhou Run out of the city; the Imperial City Division sent Liang Juewu to accompany him, and Liang Juewu told Yang Zhi that Lu Qianliang had gone to Hangzhou in advance in order to respond to the large amount of supplies left by the Bureau. The six of them hurried up, and arrived at Guazhou Ferry a day later, only to know that the dead of the war were thrown in the mass graves, and there was no burial, Yang Zhi put on three incense sticks to hang Huarong, and then checked the waist card at the ferry, and got on the ferry to cross the river.

When the boat arrived on the south bank, it was already dark, and the six of them found an inn to rest in Xijindu, which was full of business travelers and military officers, and they were all talking about the death of Song Sanlang in idle conversation; Yang Zhi and his entourage prepared dry food, sauce and meat in Guazhou, and Yang Zhi asked Zhang Qing to buy some wine and vegetables, and Zhang Qing ran around the ferry, and only bought a jar of wine and two kinds of appetizers, peanuts and scrambled eggs. The six people were not particular about it, and they ate and drank around a table.

The six people said that some things in the rivers and lakes were lively, and Yang Zhi actually saw an acquaintance, stood up and shouted: "Yizhong, Yang Yizhong." ”

Yang Yizhong and the two officers were asking if there was a room for the buddy, and when they heard someone shouting to themselves, they couldn't help but be overjoyed when they saw that it was Yang Zhi; Yang Yizhong and Yang Zhi were both people in the same ancestral hall, but one was in Taiyuan and the other was in Bianliang; Yang Yizhong studied and lived in Bianliang for three years when he was young, and he was very familiar with Yang Zhi, and Yang Yizhong was indescribably happy to see Yang Zhi. Yang Zhi walked over and asked, "Yizhong, you also want to participate in the battle of Jiangnan?"

Yang Yizhong said helplessly: "I went to Hangzhou to command the pikemen transferred by Jianghuai, it is said that there are 50,000 people in total, and I don't know where I will arrange it." Actually, I prefer to stay in the northwest and fight the Tanguts. ”

Yang Yizhong was able to come, naturally not because of the needs of the battlefield, but because the family hoped to be gilded, and fighting with the Jiangnan rebels was much easier than fighting with the Western Xia people. Yang Zhi knew what was going on, and lowered his voice and said: "Fang La is just an appetizer, and it will be a big meal for days, so I'm afraid that Da Song will lose his appetite in the end." Some battles are fought, pay attention to their own safety, no matter who returns to Bianliang first this time, just wait for the other party to meet, and there are some things we need to talk about. ”

Yang Yizhong nodded, after many generations, the Bianliang branch can also be regarded as a scholarly family, there is only one family in each generation to practice martial arts, and it is a family with no future in the officialdom, otherwise with Yang Zhi's father such a humble official position, how can he keep the dragon bird sword;

However, Yang Yizhong is now proud of Yang Zhi, and Yang Zhi is an inspirational legend on the rivers and lakes. The Yang family's original martial arts genius Yang Zaixing went to Yunmengze, but according to Yang Yizhong's views of many masters, no matter how hard Yang Zaixing tries, it will be difficult to reach Yang Zhi's height.

Yang Yizhong thought about it, went to Yang Zhi's room with Yang Zhi, handed a copy of the newspaper to Yang Zhi and said: "I thought that now Fang La is the emperor in Jiangnan, and it is the time when he needs a thousand dollars to buy horse bones, but Song Sanlang ended up like this, which is chilling. The Zhe family has become more and more unscrupulous, they have opened many workshops in Qizhou, from the blacksmiths of the Western Regions to the swordsmiths of Goryeo, all of them, the Western Xia is now at a disadvantage, a large number of party items and Hehuang people defected to Qizhou and other three states, and the strength of the Zhe family has increased greatly. ”

Qizhou is the birthplace of the Yang family, Yang Yizhong's meaning is self-evident, it is not to recognize the scenery of the folding family, Yang Zhi himself is to cross over, and there is no such heavy sense of belonging to the Yang family, but since he is a clansman, Yang Zhi must not be cold, and cooperated: "Qizhou is not important, in addition to the army for more than a hundred years, the imperial examination has been one of the ways out for the family; ”

Yang Yizhong has been at the border, he knows the situation over there better than Yang Zhi, he was silent for a long time, and said bitterly: "If the whole army of Western Xia attacks Sanzhou, I am afraid that it will be difficult to resist the Zhejia, their strength is strong enough, but it cannot be compared with the power of a country, but Yang Zhi, that kind of situation is difficult to appear, are you a little worried?"
