Tan Lingjiao didn't even dare to speak out, but he burst into a foul mouth in his heart, Yang Zhi was planning to completely turn his face; Tan Lingjiao knew that Yang Zongmin was the grandfather of Yang Yizhong, the envoy of Jingyuan Road, and Han Tao was Yang Zhi's confidant, such a person died on the battlefield, I am afraid that Shaanxi's perception of Xu Huiyan was extremely bad. Tan Lingjiao was pondering, and Yang Zhi suddenly asked, "Tell me, how does Xu Huiyan plan to revive the morale of the army?"

Tan Lingjiao was completely stunned, in Taiyuan's idea, add a capable general to Xu Huiyan, and it is enough to reset the Jincheng defense line, Xu Huiyan also thinks that exchanging the loss of a state for a draw is already a good result, and he doesn't think about any military morale at all, and he doesn't think that he needs to do anything more in this regard.

Tan Lingjiao hesitated for a moment and said: "We have just defeated the Golden Vulture Technique, and the Western Xia is temporarily unable to fight back, which is just conducive to our passing through the northwest, once we re-stabilize the Jincheng defense line, it will also be beneficial for Yang Shuai to use troops against the Western Xia." Maybe it's not as Yang Shuai you want to be, but not everyone can be like Yang Shuai. ”

Tan Lingjiao said it more tactfully, in fact, it was to remind Yang Zhi that you can't ask others to be the same as you; Cao Qianli knew that it was going to be bad when he heard it, and what Yang Zhi was most powerful about was his vision. Cao Qianli was about to interject, but Yang Zhi replied without thinking: "The war in Western Xia is not what you imagined, although it has occupied half of the territory of Western Xia in just a few months, but the additional hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians have to eat and live; these areas have limited wealth and are not enough to support themselves, if there is not enough food and grass to replenish them, what we are thinking about now is not to fight, but how to stabilize these states and counties that have been recovered." Those who win the hearts of the people win the world, this is a benchmark, a benchmark for the people over there in Western Xia, if these people can't survive in our Song Realm, do you think our attack will be so smooth?"

Yang Zhi said righteously and strictly, Cao Qianli and the three of them were dumbfounded, Tan Lingjiao muttered in his heart that there was still such a reason? But he couldn't refute it in his mouth, the Great Song Dynasty was naturally the righteous side, and the recovery of Lingzhou and other places was the will of the people, if Tan Lingjiao dared to say that he didn't care about the people's will, returning to Taiyuan would be the end of losing his official position and resigning. The problem is that Yang Zhiyu is not shocking and endless: "Once there is another accident in Jincheng and the situation in Yunzhong deteriorates, Jin Wushu will definitely go south to attack Taiyuan, what else do we fight in Western Xia, we will fight hard under the attack of Jin and Western Xia." Xu Huiyan got one thing wrong, the purpose of the Yunzhong Defense Line was to defend Taiyuan, not to protect Shuozhou. ”

Yang Zhi's words played a role, don't look at the territory of the Dingbei Army is getting bigger and bigger, but the defense of Taiyuan is weakening, when Yang Zhi was in Jincheng, the Dingbei Army was approaching Datong and Youzhou, but now the east road of Yundong has been lost, and Jincheng has become a ruin, if it weren't for Yang Zongmin's use of jade and stone burning to cause heavy losses to Jin Wushu's army, Jin Wushu would definitely attack the second line of defense in Daluo Town.

The reason why Taiyuan would raise objections to Xu Huiyan now is that the actual battle situation is like a mountain pressing on the Dingbei army, so that Taiyuan's civil and military forces are shrouded in a haze of worry; the atmosphere in the tent has become very depressing, and Tan Lingjiao understands that he is not Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, and he cannot suppress Yang Zhi's statement, so he can only look at Cao Qianli. Tan Lingjiao believes that no matter how Cao Qianli calculates and calculates, he will speak for King Yun after all.

"With our current strength, we want to fight on both sides, and the difficulties can be imagined. Qu Duan's demeanor was solemn and his tone was low: "Has the Taiyuan side ever considered that it is necessary to make every effort to resist the enemy outside the east of the river, once it is killed by the Jin army into the east of the river, it will give the cavalry a place to use." ”

Tan Lingjiao and Cao Qianli were all stunned, what Qu Duan said was actually what the seed master Min and Lu Yihao had been worried about, the elite of the Dingbei Army was on the periphery, and the combat effectiveness of the troops around Taiyuan was not to mention that it was inferior to Yang Zhi's elite, even compared to Xu Huiyan's troops. It was Zhao Kai who continued to target Yang Zhi under the bewitchment of Zhang Xiaochun and others, in fact, he was not worried that Yang Zhi's army was getting stronger and stronger, now looking at it, this is a topic that cannot be chosen, and other people are inferior in ability compared to Yang Zhi, and while weakening Yang Zhi, it has caused harm to the Dingbei Army itself.

Cao Qianli is a veteran of officialdom after all, since he accepted the order of Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, he can't retreat because of Qu Duan's speculation, even if Cao Qianli and Yang Zhi are allies most of the time, they won't lose a big deal because of a small loss. Cao Qianli said slowly: "Yang Shuai, I just want to ask you one question, if we are defeated by the Jin army again, forcing Xu Huiyan to retreat to Taiyuan, and the situation deteriorates rapidly, will you go all out to reinforce Taiyuan?"

"No, it won't. Yang Zhi said with certainty: "The 200,000 troops around Taiyuan, if the 200,000 troops do nothing, our reinforcements will not be effective at all, Shaanxi has not enough supplies until now, can not withstand the long-term war, and the supply of grain and grass, internal dumping, the truth of the intelligence will affect the judgment and operation of the army, at that time, if there is such an arrangement as Xu Huiyan again, the army in Shaanxi will be hit hard, and we will have no capital to turn the tables at all." After the loss of Daluo Town, I would suggest that King Yun go to Yanzhou or Puzhou to review the army. ”

Yang Zhi said so frankly that Cao Qianli had nothing to say, he understood Yang Zhi's subtext, if King Yun wanted to do something and stay in Taiyuan and not leave, Yang Zhi could only go with him; however, as long as King Yun went south to Yanzhou or Puzhou, the status of a large number of officials in Taiyuan would be affected, and the power of Zhang Xiaochun and others would definitely suffer heavy losses. Tan Lingjiao and Qu Duan also understood the deep things behind Yang Zhi's answer, and the failure of Jincheng this time made Yang Zhi's vigilance heavier.

Cao Qianli and Tan Lingjiao had no way to continue, if they wanted Yang Zhi's war against Western Xia to persist for a long time, the supply really couldn't be cut off. But depending on the level of the problem, different people will come to different conclusions about the same thing, and what Yunwang Zhao Kai is now taking is the suggestion of Zhang Xiaochun and others, forcing Yang Zhi to solve everything by himself.

Cao Qianli thought that Yang Zhi was going back to Qinzhou, and suddenly had a new understanding of Yang Zhi in his heart, Yang Zhi must have guessed King Yun's plan, Cao Qianli could deduce from this that Yang Zhi made preparations after learning about the war in the clouds. But at that time, King Yun himself probably didn't decide what to do, Cao Qianli was deeply shocked in his heart, took a breath and asked, "Yang Shuai, do you think the Jin Kingdom will attack Taiyuan?"
