Zhao Gou was asked by Song Huizong to go to the imperial court to explain, and when he arrived in Runzhou, Zhao Gou was immediately relieved of his military power, and Wang Yuan was sent back to Chuzhou;

Song Huizong sent Yan Qi and Shen Chong to ask for advice as soon as possible, and Yang Zhi casually told Yan Qi that Zhao Gou's five-way army was defeated, even if it was unbearable, as long as the sailors held the Yangtze River, Chuzhou should be the limit of the other party, and Yangzhou was purely Liu Guangshi himself scaring himself. Yang Weizhong and Zhe Yan's ability is sufficient, as long as they are not like Zhang Jun, regardless of the differences in military strength and equipment between their own armies.

Hearing the news that Xu Jingheng said that Yang Zhi had a way, Yan Qi knocked on the side, and Yang Zhi finally gave Yan Qi an idea, Ma Kuo did not bring more than 10,000 horses, why not order Ma Kuo to be the pacification envoy of Jingxi Road and rectify the army in Shandong; ordered Yang Weizhong to take in the thief Zhang Yu from Zhending, and take Zhang Yu as the supervisor of Xuzhou soldiers and horses, collect in Xuzhou, and cooperate with Yang Weizhong to fight. In terms of materials, Yang Zhi still gave Song Huizong a face, and agreed to send Yang Weizhong two hundred war horses and one thousand sets of armor.

Runzhou monarchs and ministers have discussed, the most important thing is the main general, Ma Kuo is okay, Zhang Yu is afraid that no one can command at all, even if Yang Weizhong comes forward, if there is no substantive thing, Zhao'an is just a formality, and Runzhou's hope is too far away; Yan Qi smiled bitterly: "Lord Yang, the imperial historians are aggressive, saying that adults cower and do not fight, I also know that these people are talking nonsense, but it is an obstacle to the reputation of adults." ”

Yan Qi hoped that he would come up with some real materials, Yang Zhi smiled and said: "It's okay, the wood is beautiful in the forest, the wind will urge it, I don't care about the name, I am a left-behind guard in Tokyo, as long as the people in Kaifeng and other places are healthy, I will be satisfied." Everyone has the responsibility to defend the land, if the guard will respond to the story and run away when he finds an opportunity, and the Yushitai still thinks it is normal, it means that the people of the Yushitai are deceived or bought, which is a bad thing. ”

Yan Qi naturally understood that Yang Zhi was the pillar of the Dingbei Army, and he didn't care about the noise in Runzhou at all, but unfortunately the court and the central government didn't seem to be able to find a general for a while, so he could only cough twice and ask: "Lord Yang, why can't the generals under King Kang?"

This is also a question in Runzhou, many of Yang Zhi's subordinates are the old subordinates of King Kang and others, but the fighting style under Yang Zhi is completely different, even elm heads like Li Guang are full of praise. Li Gang and Zhao Ding said to their friends in Runzhou more than once that it was better to hand over the hundreds of thousands of people under King Kang's command directly to the Dingbei Army, and maybe the Jingxi Road would not be lost now.

Yang Zhi pondered: "Lord Yan, in fact, there is no difference between the soldiers below, mainly the difference between the main generals. Do you think, the reason why Xu Han failed was that he was too right politically, at that time, there were no troops in Xiangzhou, Taihang Mountain Road was rugged, and Wanyan Gao had the opportunity to enter Hedong at all; in the same way, if Sun Fu was not in a hurry to perform and easily believed in a person like Guo Jing, Bianliang would have been able to hold out for at least more than a year.

Dingzhou, Zhaozhou, Cangzhou, those cities that are far less tall than Bianliang City, but they all persisted for more than a year, Sun Fu's fiasco and the loss of Jinan and other places, in the final analysis, they want to harm people, they are not looking for money, they want to be so-called fame, to prove themselves; so the person in charge wants to use strange tricks, relying on one person and two people to create miracles, but to fight a war with the right coincidence, in order to win with wonders, how big can a person be, it is better to train the army in a down-to-earth manner, prepare grain and grass. ”

Yan Qi understood, smiled wordlessly, and knew that Yang Zhi didn't look down on Zhang Jun, in the eyes of Yangzhou, Zhang Jun was not much better than Sun Fu, but Runzhou really couldn't come up with a more powerful character. Yang Zhi didn't want to say more, a general like Yao Gu was sent to Henan Mansion, where there was no war, and Yang Weizhong still had to listen to the command of Zhang Jun, who had never fought before, which showed that Runzhou was still continuing the story of Bianliang in the past;

However, Song Huizong still did not let Yang Zhi go, after Yan Qi and the two went back, they issued a holy decree to let Li Gang come to Bianliang, and ordered Yang Zhi to take over the various departments of King Kang, this is obviously a pit, Yang Zhi is the part of the Dingbei Army, and if Yang Zhi really wants to take over, he should also go through a procedure on Zhao Kai's side; the current practice is suspected of provoking the relationship between Yang Zhi and Zhao Kai, and it seems that Runzhou still has ideas about the Dingbei Army.

Yang Zhi did not accept the order, and immediately wrote that he was not capable enough to take on this great task, but Yang Zhi suggested that the appointment of the Hebei Prefecture could be handed over to Taiyuan, and that the Gyeonggi Road should be expanded to take over the defense tasks of Gongzhou, Kaidefu, and Caozhou, which could be regarded as reducing the pressure on Yingtianfu. Li Gang was obviously prepared, and immediately took out the second holy decree and asked Yang Zhi to provide a plan for the reorganization of the army on the Tianfu side.

This did not stump Yang Zhi, Yang Zhi really gave a plan for the reconstruction of the Fifth Army, Yang Weizhong was in charge of the soldiers and horses of Ying Tianfu, and Yang Weizhong's headquarters and Ying Tianfu's army were combined into the rear protection army; Liu Guangshi was relieved of military power, Zhang Jun merged Liu Guangshi's scattered troops in Jiangbei, and the two armies were combined into the Central Protector Army; Liu Zhengyan replaced Wang Yuan and transferred back all the troops that fled to the south bank of the Yangtze River with Wang Yuan and Liu Guangshi, and organized them as the former protectors; ordered Miao Fu to take over Liang Yangzu in Zhenzhou. Wang Boyan's army was organized into the Left Protector Army, and 1,000 elite troops of the 12th General Wu Jue were transferred from Jingyuan Road to Haozhou to replace Liu Guanglie, and the two divisions were combined to train the Right Protector Army.

After the formation of the Fifth Route Guard, they had to go north, and all the soldiers who were unwilling to go out on the expedition were dismissed; then Runzhou arranged for officials to set up three organizations, which were responsible for the Salt and Tea Division in Zhenzhou, and the Tuntian in the areas of Chuzhou, Sizhou, and Yingtianfu, and used Cao to transport supplies to the Fifth Route Army. When the time is ripe, then gradually go north to recover Shandong and other places. Regarding the removal of Wang Yuan, Liu Guangshi and others, Yang Zhi gave a reason, that is, these people have not led the army to escape at one time, and they are no longer suitable to be generals in the army.

Li Gang gasped, if Yang Zhi's idea is realized, no matter who is appointed to stay in Yingtianfu, King Kang will definitely not come back, Miao Fu, Liu Zhengyan and others will only thank Yang Zhi and Runzhou; Li Gang knew that he was pushed to the cusp by Yang Zhi, but Li Gang felt that this was a good idea, King Kang's defeat again and again still had a lot to do with these fleeing generals, and Li Gang finally sent a chapter to Runzhou with Yang Zhi.

Song Huizong saw the four copies of the two of them, and immediately decided to circulate them in the main hall; Song Huizong saw the hope of controlling this army, and disrupting the old establishment and determining the new generals was an opportunity to get involved in the Chuzhou army. Zhao Gou has already arrived in Runzhou, Song Huizong naturally hopes that the wicked people will be done by others, and I believe that Yang Zhi and Li Gang are both iron-clad people, and they will definitely not care about these small sections.
