Chapter 73: Know

Monk Zhiyin brought in five people at once, and introduced to them that Yang Zhi was the commander of the resentful army, and wanted to know about the situation in Guiyizhou; Monk Zhiyin represented the attitude of Qingyan Temple, and only obeyed the government, not to help Yang Zhi. Yang Zhi understands this mood very well, after all, Xianzhou is equivalent to the front line, the iron cavalry of the Jin people will come at any time, Qingyan Temple is necessary to make a gesture for the sake of the temple, monks, and believers, and it can only be blamed that the army of the Liao State is too weak.

Five people rushed in, and the person who walked in front was about the same age as Yang Zhi, dressed as a samurai, half a head taller than Yang Zhi, burly and strong, with a shawl, a spacious forehead, a hooked nose, and deep sunken eyes, as sharp as an eagle falcon, which was intimidating. After listening to the words of the monk Zhiyin, the person who came forward to introduce himself, his name is Wu Changyao, he is a member of the Jurchen Shuifu Shilie Department, because the chief A Shu fled to Shangjing, all of them fell into the object of Wanyan Agu's punishment, and all the clansmen became slaves, and Wu Changyao escaped and became a ranger.

The second person is a member of the Xi people, called Li Raole, the monk Zhiyin specially introduced, Li Raole is a big family in Guiyizhou, the descendant of Li Dayu, the king of Xi, the family belongs to the hereditary nobles in the Liao State, after the Jin soldiers hit Guiyizhou, Li Raole in order to show his loyalty to the Great Liao, lived in Qingyan Temple, and never went back. Li Raole was slender, bald, with short gray hair, and a cold face, ignoring Yang Zhi and seemingly indifferent to anything.

Behind Li Raole was a husband and wife, both in their thirties, who turned out to be pickers, the man's name was Pu Qilu, he had a horse face, the height of an ordinary person, but his hands and feet were longer than ordinary people, and he looked cunning and wise; The two of them were the most polite in the face of Yang Zhi and Monk Zhiyin, with humble smiles.

The last is a plain woman Xiao Yan, who can also be regarded as a medium appearance in Bianliang, and is definitely a beauty in Liaoguo, in her twenties, she has seen Yang Zhi acting slowly, her expression is calm, and a pair of eyes meet Yang Zhi's sharp gaze, without the slightest fear. Monk Zhiyin has a lot of respect for this woman, saying that she is the widow of Xiao Luzhao, the commander of the army of Guiyi Prefecture, and after Xiao Luzhao died in battle, he fled to Qingyan Temple and chanted scriptures and worshiped Buddha all day long.

Yang Zhi's smiling face immediately turned serious: "Madame's mourning, Yang was ordered by General Yelu to investigate the situation in Guiyizhou, just to recapture Yizhou and let the people of Liao live and work in peace and contentment." ”

Wu Changyao and Li Raole immediately showed a disdainful gaze, the Liao army has been defeated repeatedly, and the surroundings around Xianzhou, if it weren't for the Jin people not wanting it, they would not have belonged to the Liao State for a long time, a Han person, and he was still here to speak out. Monk Zhiyin smiled slightly and said: "Yang Daxia has his own splendid chest, just now in the Zen Academy, he took over the anger of the family teacher, and he is by no means a person who talks about it. ”

Wu Changyu and Li Raole all showed a look of surprise, they are from the martial arts of the Liao Kingdom, and they are frequent visitors to Qingyan Temple, they naturally know what Master Fahong's anger means, the last time he took this move, was Master Tianxin ten years ago; Yang Zhi didn't care about Wu Changyao, Yang Zhi paid attention to Pu Qilu and Xiao Yan, the different colors that flashed in Pu Qilu's eyes were clearly seen by Yang Zhi, Xiao Yan didn't move, but Yang Zhi could sense that this woman had a vigilant reaction all over her body in an instant.

Yang Zhi waved his hand and said, "Master Zhiyin has lifted me, and it is Master Fahong's mercy." Five, I won't talk empty words, please come, there are three things to ask for, one is to help me draw a map of Guiyizhou, the second is to introduce the situation of Guiyizhou, and the third thing is to tell me about the Jurchens, we may have some language barriers, you and Master Shajing just talk about it. ”

Monk Zhiyin couldn't help but glance at Yang Zhi, these three things are not a matter at all, Yang Zhi can definitely ask among the thousands of people who complain about the army, why come to Qingyan Temple to make such a big turn. Wu Changyao nodded and said: "Yang Zhi, now I kind of believe that you are really ready to make a move against Guiyizhou, you saw the five of us, and the decision you made in an instant didn't really care what we said, just to prevent us from being disgusted and resisting." ”

Yang Zhi did not defend or agree, and said lightly: "I am a soldier, you are ordinary people, it is enough to help me." ”

Xiao Yan frowned slightly and asked, "Lord Yang, let's say it at will, do you believe it?"

Yang Zhizhi said: "I will arrange someone to verify, at the moment it is just brainstorming, so the five of them will go to different rooms and mark the map separately." ”

Li Raole was about to say something, when he saw the gaze cast by the monk Zhiyin, he closed his mouth stupidly, Sha Jing showed a kind smile, and invited the five people into different rooms, each of which had already prepared pen and ink inkstones and maps. Only Yang Zhi and Zhiyin were left in the house, and Zhiyin smiled bitterly and said: "Yang Tong, Gao Ming, you went to Qingyan Temple, why did you come to ask for help, you suspect that the spies of the Jin Kingdom are in Qingyan Temple, since this is the case, why don't you block the mountain gate and pass through all the people." ”

"Master Zhiyin, you have a lot of heart. Yang Zhi said lightly: "The Jin army enters and exits Xianzhou and other places, if it enters a no-man's land, what spies are needed, I am just curious about these people." Actually, you're also wondering how to pick out these five people. ”

Zhiyin was noncommittal, and asked tentatively, "What are you going to do next?"

Yang Zhi didn't speak, walked out of the meditation room, and looked blankly at the vast world in the distance, Monk Zhiyin followed, and Wu Changyao in another meditation room also walked over. Yang Zhi felt the mountain breeze and said to the two people who approached: "Liaojin has been fighting for several years, and countless lives have been ruined, just like every time a country rises, between nations and between countries, fighting to the death. The past events in history seem to be right in front of us, the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Turkic, Liaodong land is not calmer than the Central Plains; at present, the Jin State is expanding, and it will not care about the life or death of the people, for the Great Liao, the steel knife is swirling overhead, but I don't know when I can hear the sonorous collision of steel and his own skull. ”

Wu Changyao shook his head and said: "If people die, everything will stop, if they don't die, there is hope, the current power of the Jin Kingdom is still dominated by the wasteland, and they don't have full confidence in attacking Zhongjing, otherwise how can they retreat, they should rest on the spot." ”

Yang Zhi whispered: "This is the most terrifying, because Wanyan Aguda knows that time is on his side, if he wants to destroy Da Liao, there must be a learning process, so he doesn't value the territory the most." What Aguta values now is to train suitable generals and officials, create favorable situations and opportunities in the Great Liao and Great Song Dynasty, and once the time is ripe, the Jin army will not hesitate to act. ”
