Bashili also laughed and said: "I can't divulge the client's secret, he left two days ago, I plan to dedicate the iron essence to your marshal Zhao Kai, so let the people of Volcano Town keep an eye on it." ”

Yang Zhi and the others would not believe Bashili's nonsense, if Bashili really had this idea, he would have run to the barracks to ask for protection; Yang Zhi thought for a while and said: "Bashili, don't you have something to hide from me, you are going to Taiyuan at this time, you don't want to form an alliance with us, are you still going to Bianliang?"

Bashili smiled embarrassedly: "We can't grasp the situation in Youzhou and the Central Plains now, my brother asked me to come over just to see what it looks like now." ”

In the face of Western Xia pressure, the Uighurs now also wanted to know the situation in the east, although the Jin army was currently spreading the myth of invincibility in the steppes, but in the Central Plains, hearing was false, seeing was believing, and Bashli was the eyes of the Uighurs, running to see the situation. Yang Zhi said indifferently: "Actually, you Uighurs should pay more attention to Western Xia and Yelu Dashi, they are the forces that can meddle in the Western Regions, and the Jin Kingdom and the Great Song Dynasty are beyond their reach." ”

"Not necessarily, I am surprised that you have been able to establish yourself in the Loop in such a short period of time. Bashili said calmly: "I want to know if you have, yes, according to your statement, it is to win the Central Plains?"

Yang Zhi patted Bashili on the shoulder and said, "That's King Yun's business, I can't guess, aren't you going to Taiyuan? Yan Qing, you say, how do you want me to help you?"

Seeing that Yang Zhi was no longer rejecting people, Yan Qing smiled slightly and said: "I came to find Master Hua Hejiu, I want to go to the Daimyo's Mansion now, and I need a travel fee, five hundred taels of silver." ”

Yang Zhi immediately took out a silver ticket of six hundred taels and gave it to Yan Qing, and asked Shan Tinggui to prepare two good horses and a glass product for Yan Qing; Yan Qing followed Shan Tinggui out, Bashili shook his head and said, "You obviously know that he has a secret, why don't you continue to ask?"

Yang Zhi said indifferently: "You have a secret, I have a secret, Yan Qing also has a secret, I can't do things with guesses and intentions before I know the truth." No one knows whether a secret will be good or bad when it is revealed, and I would rather bear the pressure of not knowing the truth. ”

Yang Zhi is under pressure, and there is also pressure to ask for it.

Xiazhou in Western Xia became a lonely city in the blink of an eye, and was under the attack of the Dingbei Army and the Xingliao Army; the governor of the Great Song Linfu Road and the prefect of Qizhou, Zhe Keqiu, felt tremendous pressure, and his east, southeast, and north were the territory of the Dingbei Army, and only the Yanyan Road of the Great Song Dynasty in the west and Shizhou in the southwest were all under pressure. Yang Zhi captured Mizhi Village, which was less than a hundred miles away from the Nuanquan Village on Dunyan Road, but Juyan Road did not move from beginning to end, nor did he ask Qizhou, and the attitude of Zhang Shen, the head of Dunyan Road, was intriguing. 04

Nine forts, including Futu Village, Wuyan Village, Kaiguang Village, and Naniang Village on the Yanyan Road, connect Qizhou on Linfu Road in the north, and connect with the Jialu and other four villages of the Jinning Army along the Hengshan Mountains to form a defense line, stretching for 300 miles, and connect with Huanqing Road in the south to Baibao City and Jintang City, driving the Xixia people to the desert area. Therefore, when the Song and Xia peace talks were held, the Western Xia must take back Yinzhou and Mizhi Village, saying that it was the hometown of the Western Xia royal family, but in fact they wanted to lay a wedge in the defense line of the Great Song Dynasty to facilitate the use of troops in the future.

If you want to break through this line of defense again, you can only rely on the non-cooperation between the Dingbei army and the Song army, and the best target is Qizhou; Qizhou has jurisdiction over Huining, Zhenchuan, Liding, Shenmu, Tongjin, Langan, Quyechuan, Hengyang, Taihe Jiubao and the outer eleven villages, the government is in Shenmubao, and Xinqin County is in Huiningbao, the people of these two forts have a population of 5,000, and the remaining seven forts have more than two or three thousand people, and the few are seven or eight hundred.

Fuzhou is now behind Fengzhou and Qizhou, forming a triangular defense zone, Fuzhou is the Linfu Road Army Horse Division, in addition to Fuzhou City, there are Hebin Fort, Rebuke Fort, Jing'an Fort, Xi'an Fort, Ningchuan Fort, Ningjiang Fort, Zhenwu City Seven Cities and Anfeng, Ningfu, Beisheng, Ningbian Four Villages, the population is more than 50,000, which is also the reason why the Western Xia Army stationed troops in the Guye River, not to give Qizhou the opportunity to cultivate and plunder the population and materials.

If the army comes, the first to attack must be Qizhou, because only the city of Linfu Road is on the border, which can meet the needs of Western Xia to support the war;

Xu Huiyan knew that he couldn't speak clearly, and said with a wry smile: "Don't blame me, I can't help it, I came to deliver a letter, but everything is your own will, and King Yun will not force it." ”

"Voluntary. After introducing the current battle situation, he said: "Yang Zhi took Yinzhou with such a strong posture and built a village to set up Guzhou in the north of the Kuye River, which actually squeezed us south of the Kuye River and let us face the impact of the Western Xia army, and according to the information we received, Yelu Yu Jian promised to hand over Yanzhou to you. ”

Xu Huiyan was taken aback: "Yang Zhi destroyed 10,000 enemies and occupied Yinzhou, which actually means that Yang Zhi can attack Xiazhou and Youzhou as long as he wants. But beg, what do you think about the folding family?"

It is difficult to ask for a solution: "It's not what I think now, Qizhou is the foundation of the Yang family, Yang Yizhong, the son of Yang Zhen of Jianning Zhai Zhizhai, followed Yang Zhi on the expedition this time, and has been appointed by Yang Zhi as the commander of a thousand soldiers; Yang Zhen's father is Yang Zongmin, the head of the Yongxing Military Road, and now Qizhou is already floating in the hearts of the people. Hui Yan, we are a family, you understand, if the Zhe family returns to Taiyuan with the territory army, it will be difficult for Bianliang to explain. ”

Since Yang Zhi set up the cave state, he showed that he had no intention of dealing with the three states outside the river, and what he wanted to know was what kind of confidence Taiyuan had. The industry of the Zhejia family has now developed to Bianliang and Guanzhong, and Zhe Keqiu hopes that everything will remain unchanged from the bottom of his heart.

Xu Huiyan was a sincere gentleman, sighed and said: "In this way, Yang Zhi and Zong Ze are not ordinarily powerful, they seek to send troops on the east road, Li Lu and Yang Weizhong moved to the Daimyo's mansion, and Liang Yangzu, the prefect of Xinde, followed and led the army south to Qinwang, and has been snatched from the Jin army by Zhang Suo to Xingzhou, including Xingtai, Neiqiu, Julu, and Pingxiang counties;

They calculated that the Jin army was going south to Henan to seek Guanzhong, so they didn't worry about Datong sending troops, as I expected, Yang Zhi's purpose was still Qingyan, and he would not attack Xiazhou, and now he should collect his troops and go back, leaving the Tibetan tribes to continue to fight with the Western Xia people. ”
