"You mean?" Cao Qianli's face changed, it was a fact that Zhang Shen did not send troops, but Cao Qianli, as the coordinator sent by King Yun, wanted to figure out the intention of Yang Zhi's questioning; Yang Zhi waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, I can carry it clearly, so let's keep our army attacking unchanged, I will first write a letter to ask Brother Richard to give up Lingzhou and see Brother Richard's reaction." On the Suizhou side, you have to give me a letter of approval so that I can negotiate in the next step. ”

Li Guang was silent, Yang Zhi maintained his reputation by doing this, and he kicked the ball back to Taiyuan in a different way; With Yang Zhi's identity, even if he loses his official position for a while, as long as his reputation is there, he will make a comeback sooner or later; Li Guang sighed: "That's all." ”

When the carriage left the official courtyard of the Zhifu Division and stepped on the bluestone slab on the road, Cao Qianli sat in the carriage and couldn't help sighing: "Aggrieved, really aggrieved!"

"You have to endure the grievances. Li Guang himself couldn't help but sigh: "King Yun's mind is too complicated, what can Yang Zhi do, what can we do; Fortunately, didn't Yang Zhi send someone to negotiate peace?"

Cao Qianli's eyes were blazing with green fire: "What if Brother Richard agrees to Yang Zhi's suggestion? We missed the opportunity to destroy the 100,000 Western Xia army, you should understand what that means to the Western Xia, it means that they only have more than 100,000 troops left, and they will be completely beaten back to their original form; if Yang Zhi is lucky, he can even take Xingzhou." ”

Brother Richard would agree to withdraw from Lingzhou, Li Guang was stunned for a moment, and sneered: "Won't Yang Zhi be crowned king for the merit of destroying the country?"

Cao Qianli immediately held back all the rest of his words, if it came to that point, it would not be a good thing for Yang Zhi and the Dingbei Army; according to the practice of the Great Song Dynasty, Yang Zhi would leave the army, no matter how much the Dingbei Army needed Yang Zhi, King Yun would not leave such a hidden danger, not to mention that there were countless villains or idiots instigating in front of King Yun. Cao Qianli quickly made a comparison and weighed between the two results, and it was clear that it was a good choice to leave Western Xia behind before the Jin Kingdom was resolved.

Li Guang continued: "On the contrary, I think that Yang Zhi is a smart man, he has long planned to leave the army, and he is constantly promoting generals, looking for someone who can replace him. In fact, you and I both know what the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty is like, and sometimes, it is what you call grievances. ”

After Li Guang finished speaking, he and Cao Qianli were silent, the Dingbei Army not only dealt with the two countries of Jinxia, but also had an unspeakable goal, that is, to help Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, sit on the dragon chair; Yang Zhi can't mess around like Cao Qianli, if he destroys a country and retires, it can be regarded as a way of detachment.

Cao Qianli didn't expect Li Guang to have such a vision, the carriage arrived at the post house, and after getting off the car, he said, "Lord Li, how about a drink?"

Li Guang happily received the order: "Then I'm not welcome, and I will disturb Lord Cao." ”

Li Guang also needed to understand Cao Qianli's plans, Cao Qianli laughed; the two laughed and arrived in Cao Qianli's house, Cao Qianli instructed the people below to prepare wine and food, let Cao Huozi guard the door, and personally made tea for Li Guangman and said: "King Yun has lofty ambitions, and people like Yang Zhi can't help him achieve his goals; although those people in the Heavenly Master's Mansion are influential, they can't solve the dilemma of internal and external troubles, and it is easy to bring the Dingbei Army into a bad situation, and it is very difficult for us now." ”

Li Guangwei smiled and shook his head: "Lord Cao, the Heavenly Master Mansion is not to worry, after all, they are just a sect on the rivers and lakes, and they can only work in certain places, we might as well wait and see the influence of the Dingbei Army; I am full of confidence in Yang Zhi, and I think that this time Lingzhou must go. ”

Cao Qianli didn't expect Li Guang to be so optimistic about Yang Zhi, Li Guang is a man with a backbone, and he will never tout Yang Zhi without a bottom line just because Yang Zhi brought him into the Dingbei Army; Cao Qianli knew Li Guang's personality and didn't want to get entangled in such meaningless details, so he immediately changed the topic: "Lord Li, you are a veteran, how to write an official document to King Yun?"

"Veteran, why don't you call me a sword and pen officer?" Li Guang said with a free smile: "Yang Zhi's survival strategy, in addition to military measures, the most important thing is economic means, which are all invisible things; ”

Cao Qianli was slightly stunned, and in order to avoid embarrassment, he laughed and joked: "Master Li, this is not like your personality. ”

"People's personalities can also be changed. Li Guang's words suddenly made Cao Qianli extremely embarrassed, and scolded in his heart, this old guy is really angular; Li Guang put away his smile and said aggressively: "Yang Zhi has to be perfunctory in the face of Taiyuan's step-by-step pressing, so as not to have resentment between the two sides; Yang Zhi's idea is indeed good, but the shortcomings are obvious, some people think that Yang Zhi does not dare to fight back, and as a result, Qinzhou has died again and again." In this way, King Yun's worries are even worse, I am in charge of my territory, King Yun hopes that Yang Zhi'an will divide it, and you will do whatever I tell you to do, so there is this move to attack Western Xia. ”

"Well said!" Cao Qianli interrupted Li Guang's words with a cheer, and said in an unquestionable tone: "What King Yun is most worried about is the army in Yang Zhi's hands, which has many famous generals and is invincible. ”

Li Guang immediately asked rhetorically: "Is this also wrong? In the era of war, what is the most valuable, talented, and famous general, if there is no these, how can Yang Zhi win again and again, and why does the Dingbei Army have a piece of territory in Hedong and Shaanxi." ”

If Yang Zhi heard Li Guang's words, he would definitely be a bosom friend, but unfortunately Yang Zhi couldn't hear it, Yang Zhi was discussing with Li Yanxian, Yang Zhongwu, Gongsun Sheng, Shan Tingqi, and Cai Fu how to deal with the situation in front of him; Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, changed his mind so easily, which was completely beyond Yang Zhi's expectations, but Yang Zhi is now sitting on one side, in a high position, and even the transfer of power that restricts him has made Zhang Xiaochun go to Taiyuan, and it is not normal for Zhao Kai to have no ideas.

Li Yanxian and others all know that many officials in Taiyuan are deliberately containing and attacking Qinzhou, and I am afraid that even Zhao Kai is hoping to redistribute the power in Shaanxi, but the threat of Western Xia is still there, and Zhao Kai can neither transfer Yang Zhi nor meddle in Shaanxi's personnel.
