When Ye Mengde came from Huazhou to take office, he brought Lu Yundi, the secretary of the military department of Bianliang, and Cao Fu, the secretary of the Privy Council, who signed the book, Ye Mengde left the two in the living room and came to see Yang Zhi first; Yang Zhi asked with some curiosity: "Do they want to go to Taiyuan, or do they have some errands." ”

Ye Mengde said with emotion: "The emperor ascended the throne in Runzhou, and these officials in Bianliang still operate according to the three provinces and six departments with the connivance of King Kang, making King Kang the same as the emperor, and Runzhou's instructions are not effective at all." If it weren't for Liang Xun pressing in Zhengzhou, and Wang Xiang not caring about him in Luoyang, I'm afraid that he would be even more arrogant; this time they are here to ask for someone, and they want to complete Yan Zonghan and complete Yan Yinshu in Jincheng Prison."

Ye Mengde explained in detail that Yang Zhi understood that the imperial historian Xu Jingheng and Ma Shen proposed in Bianliang that the two captives in the hands of the Dingbei Army, Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Yinshu, could be exchanged for Song Qinzong and his wife; Zhao Ye, Zhu Shengfei and others on the Runzhou side ignored them, knowing that the Dingbei Army was only giving Song Huizong a face, and the specific details of the acquisition were not discussed, and it was almost impossible to ask people to hand over the bargaining chips, and even Li Gang felt that he had no face to open this mouth to Taiyuan.

However, King Kang Zhao Kai couldn't stand the instigation of Bianliang's ministers, and proposed the matter to Song Huizong, who directly asked Zhao Gou to send someone to Taiyuan to solve it, and this errand fell to Lu Yundi and the two. Lu Yundi and Cao Fu really had no choice, so they muttered to Ye Mengde in Huazhou, hoping that Ye Mengde could facilitate this matter. Yang Zhi will not let go of this mouth casually, Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Yinshu are rare famous generals in the Jin Army, it is an unexpected joy to be caught, put it back, who knows how much damage it will cause in the war later.

It can be seen from this that whether it is the main battle or the main peace people on the Bianliang side, there is a pot of paste in their heads, no wonder the main battle faction occupied the majority in the Southern Song Dynasty, and the process was easily changed by Qin Hui, Han Shizhong and others were seized of military power, and Yue Fei's father and son died unjustly in Fengbo Pavilion. Yang Zhi said very simply: "Let them go directly to Taiyuan, and I will be gone." ”

Ye Mengde smiled bitterly and said: "I'm afraid it can't be done, Sheng Yuyi, who went to Shaanxi to preach the decree, and Fan Zhixu, who is about to be transferred back to the center, will come to Hedong as a guest together, and what they are talking about is probably the matter of salt relief." I guess you're not going to see you this time, and you'll need to see them when they turn around. ”

Yang Zhi said indifferently: "It's a matter that doesn't need to be taken care of, there are holes in Bianliang's thoughts, just wait for King Yun to take the idea." ”

"There are pits. Ye Mengde's face changed slightly, he was a newcomer to Zhao Kai, if he was involved in something, it would not be good;Yang Zhi explained: "Lu Yundi and Cao Fu just want to find an explanation in the mouths of different people in our Dingbei Army, and then make extraneous branches, pretending to be a good person without a bottom line to show their morality, but if something happens in the future, they will say that they don't know." There is no need for such people to talk about at all, you don't have to care about them, it's boring, they will go to Taiyuan themselves. ”

Yang Zhi was not wrong, Lu Yundi and the two stayed in Puzhou for four days, and saw that no one really paid attention to them, even Ye Mengde changed his attitude, so he could only go to Taiyuan in disgrace; Yang Zhi saw that Shen Chong knew what he wanted, and asked quietly, "Does King Yun have a new statement?"

Shen Chong shook his head and said: "Originally, I had planned to go back, but the Yongxing Army passed through a little bit and made Tang important for me to wait for Fan Zhixu in Puzhou, saying that it was to understand the affairs of the state. ”

Tang Chong's people specially informed Shen Chong, who had already returned, to wait in Puzhou, Tang Chong told Shen Chong in the letter that Fan Zhixu's purpose was to relieve salt, Shaanxi Wulu suffered serious losses this time, and Xie Zhou fell into the hands of Hedong, and the military spending behind would become more and more difficult.

Shen Chong knew that the current Yongxing Army was aggrieved to his home, and the six states of the Dingbei Army were equivalent to directly choking the entry and exit of Chang'an in three directions, plus the salt fell into the hands of the Dingbei Army, and Chang'an was equivalent to being choked by the neck. Although after Shen Chong arrived, Yang Zhi gave up the area of the five counties and Fengxiang Mansion according to Zhao Kai's instructions, but it only made Chang'an's face look better, which did not help the situation of the Yongxing Army.

Qian Gai's idea is very good, but he just didn't consider it from the perspective of the Dingbei Army, which is still a separate and independent group, which is actually equivalent to Zhao Kai's private army. How much money is allocated by Runzhou, and all the supplies are carried out in accordance with the terms negotiated by the two parties, and to put it bluntly, it is a transaction. In such a situation, why did Zhao Kai give a place to make money to Guanzhong?

Shen Chong thought about it, and came to meet Yang Zhi first, which was regarded as saying hello in advance, Yang Zhi couldn't help but smile and said: "Jiezhou is surrounded by the territory of the Dingbei Army, and if you want this enclave, Qian Gai can really think of it." At present, the life of the Dingbei Army is also not good, Runzhou and Bianliang are using various reasons not to agree to transport grain to Hedong, and you have passed on four official documents, all of which are useless. If Master Fan really comes, I can only entertain him well, and I don't need to talk about everything else. ”

Shen Chong is not unhappy, it is going to rain and the mother wants to get married, these people in Guanzhong are whimsical, and they can't persuade themselves, so let's wait for everyone to meet and quarrel; Shen Chong didn't even reply to Chang'an, so he stayed patiently at the post house and waited.

When Fan Zhixu crossed the river, the Yellow River had thawed, the willows by the river showed a green, the fishermen had begun to fish in the Yellow River, Ming Chisong, Zhang Heng took the Dingbei Army's sailors to repair the boats in the water village on both banks, Fan Zhixu could only smile helplessly, Yang Zhi's biggest advantage in occupying the six states of Guanzhong was to cut off Chang'an's Cao Yun, and the waters of the Yellow River were all under the control of the Dingbei Army.

Sheng Yuyi looked at the flag on the shore, and said to Fan Zhixu coldly: "Lord Fan's face is big enough, Yang Zhi personally came to the shore to pick up people." ”

Fan Zhixu said with a smile: "This means that we will face many obstacles on this trip, so we are speechless in terms of etiquette." ”

There were more than 2,000 troops and officials standing on the shore, Yang Zhi stood at the front, watching Fan Zhixu get off the boat, Yang Zhi walked a few steps and stepped forward to salute: "Lord Fan has worked hard." ”

Fan Zhixu sighed with emotion, and arched his hand towards Yang Zhi and said: "Lord Lao has greeted you, Fan has misled the country, hundreds of thousands of soldiers have died, and the lives of Guanzhong have been ruined, and I am guilty of being alone." ”

Yang Zhi smiled and saluted and said: "Victory and defeat are impermanent, we and the Jin people still have to fight, how can we care about the temporary gains and losses, now the Holy Throne is reset, it is the time for us to work hard, and the adults will definitely be able to make great achievements when they return to the dynasty." ”
