Yang Zhi sat in the side hall, leisurely drinking tea, now Youzhou has gradually become peaceful, as a caretaker, Yang Zhi does not have much opportunity and reason to go out and take care of the things that the people below should take care of; Yang Zhi's eyes are on the plum blossoms in the corner, the fiery red plum blossoms are only two branches or three, but they give people a fresh and active feeling. This mansion, which was requisitioned by the Zhifu Division, is said to have been built by Xia Huizong's cousin Liang Yikui at the earliest, and changed hands many times later, and the last owner was Li Renli, the king of Shu in Western Xia.

Li Renzhong, the king of Pu, and Li Renli, the king of Shu, were the royal family arranged by Li Qianshun to master the literati of the Western Xia, and Li Renli successively served as the supervisor of the Weizhou army, the secretary and the superintendent of Henan, and once took bribes as wantonly as Brother Li Cha, and later returned the bribes under the persuasion of Li Renzhong, which once became a beautiful talk in the Western Xia. After Li Renxiao ascended the throne, he heard that Li Renli's family had no surplus food, so he specially rewarded it.

Since the founding of the Western Xia, there have been many amazing and brilliant people, and it is not without reason that the limelight of the Great Song Dynasty has been suppressed; it is just that in the eyes of Yang Zhi, the population base of the Western Xia is too thin, and once it falls into a crisis like now, it will be difficult to make the right choice. This time is an excellent opportunity for the Dingbei Army, and after this battle, it is almost the opposite of Xixia Henan and Hexi.

At present, only Hengshan is still fighting fiercely, Yang Zhi is reluctant to set the Northern Army to enter the desert or mountainous areas in the ice and snow, there are many stubborn men in the Western Xia army, rather than fighting to the death, it is better to make a forced landing; but Zhao Kai's interest is so high, Yang Zhi can only let Taiyuan deal with it, anyway, a lot of credit is to be given, it is better to have a better posture.

For Xiazhou and Lingzhou in Henan, Yang Zhi didn't care at all, traditionally speaking, Wuyuan County, Lingzhou, and Huanzhou were a complete defense system, and now Huanzhou and Wuyuan County were in the hands of the Dingbei Army, and Lingzhou was an ancient city; At present, the border of Western Xia has been wide open, and the national strength of the Great Song Dynasty is much stronger than that of Western Xia, which is located in the western wilderness, as long as Hedong and Taiyuan are mobilized, the war can be pulled into a stalemate stage, thus forming a protracted war, which is not something that Western Xia can afford.

Yang Zhi shook his head and sighed, tilted his neck, and poured a small cup of tea into his throat; Jin Guo must be looking forward to Song Xia's big fight, maybe he is thinking about some conspiracy, and it is not particularly difficult to guess, it is either Henan or Hedong.

There were footsteps outside the door, and Cai Qing's voice sounded: "Yang Shuai, someone asked to see you." ”

"Come in!" Yang Zhi put down the teacup in his hand, he really felt a little strange, Cai Qing is not a person who doesn't know the importance of the matter, why is it not even the name of the person who asks to see him; Cai Qing came in, and a man behind Cai Qing smiled and said, "Yang Shuai, has always been good?"

The person who came in was the prodigal son Yanqing, Zhang Shiheng followed behind the prodigal son Yanqing, pretending to be an ordinary guy, stepped forward and said with a smile to Yang Zhi: "Lord Yang has no last resort, Zhang learned that the Dingbei army had captured Suizhou, and specially came to fulfill the contract. I remember the promise made in Huozhou, Mr. Zhang came today, presumably to teach me, Lingzhou, or Xiazhou. ”

Yang Zhi didn't expect Zhang Shiheng to appear in front of him, Zhang Shiheng and Yang Zhi had an agreement in Volcano Town, Yang Zhi didn't think that Zhang Shiheng would keep his promise to him, but now the situation is delicate, Zhang Shiheng is here. This is a smart person, who knows when is the most valuable time for himself, Zhang Shiheng sneered: "Yang Shuai said that I am laughing, how can I have that ability, but I brought three news, which is enough to be worth a state." ”

Zhang Shiheng is a businessman and will not talk nonsense; Yang Zhi suddenly became interested, and motioned for all the left and right to go out, leaving only Shen Chong, Shi Mojie, Gongsun Sheng, and Wu Song, and asked teasingly: "What news is so valuable?"

Zhang Shiheng said confidently: "Wu Hao went to Western Xia with his ancestors, but for the Great Song Dynasty, this person seems to have disappeared, because Wu Hao changed his name, called Li Wu, and entered the Western Xia royal family, and the current waiter Li Yuanji of the Ministry of Rites is his grandson." ”

Shen Chong said dissatisfiedly: "This is also a secret?"

Ordinary people don't know, but Gu Tongyuan knows about this situation, Zhang Shiheng explained: "Li Wu is different from the ancestors, he is a real martial artist, Uncle Zhang Yanyi and Brother Li Cha, the King of Jin, are both from Li Wu's disciples, according to Uncle Jia, their branch is a mysterious sect in the Central Plains, and Li Wu's martial arts are unfathomable." ”

Yang Zhi and Shen Chong were both shocked, this was the first time they had heard of this matter, and Zhang Shiheng would not make up such a lie for no reason; to be able to cultivate these two, Li Wu's ability was by no means ordinary, and he should be a very famous figure in the rivers and lakes. Yang Zhi said, "What about the other two news?"

Zhang Shiheng realized that Yang Zhi needed time to digest the content of the first message, and immediately told the secret behind: "Ren Dejing and Concubine Ren's father and daughter are both martial arts masters, some time ago, someone went to assassinate Concubine Ren, and all the guards around Concubine Ren were killed, and the assassins were also killed, and a little eunuch who escaped death said that Concubine Ren killed all the assassins alone." ”

"If that's the case, how did that little eunuch escape?" Wu Song pointed out that it was not credible when he heard it, and Zhang Shiheng said helplessly: "The third secret, that little eunuch is a confidant disciple of my uncle, and his martial arts are better than mine." ”

So that's the case, Zhang Yanyi even dared to spy on the concubine, so I'm afraid there are very few powerful people in Western Xia who are not monitored, but the Zhang family is not a royal family after all, once it is known by the monarchs and ministers of Western Xia, the Zhang family will be wiped out, which is probably the reason why Zhang Yanyi's uncle and nephew want to leave a way out. If the Zhang family defects, it will never be a problem for the Dingbei Army to take a state, the question is whether Zhang Yanyi is willing to give up his power in Western Xia, and whether the Great Song Dynasty is willing to accept such a person.

At the beginning, Zhang Yuan defected to Li Yuanhao and assisted Li Yuanhao in destroying the Song army of 200,000 in the battle of Haoshuichuan, and Song Renzong once offered a reward for capturing Zhang Yuan; even today, if someone says it, Song Huizong's father and son will be embarrassed, Yang Zhi asked: "Do you plan to do things here with me, or do you come to negotiate on behalf of the family?"

"Is there a difference?" Zhang Shiheng didn't understand a little, Yang Zhi smiled and said: "If you are alone, I can arrange everything, but if you uncle them, my level is not enough, I can only send you to Taiyuan and let King Yun make the decision." ”

Zhang Yanyi's level is too high, and there are too many schemes that can be made, such a big thing naturally does not allow Yang Zhi to call the shots, whether it is to kill or use, Yang Zhi does not care; as for whether he can use this to do something earth-shattering, Yang Zhi is not uncommon. And Zhang Shiheng is just a businessman, Yang Zhi dares to make a guarantee.
