More people choked and cried on the side of the road, making Yang Zhi return to this familiar city, but he could no longer see the laughter and confidence of the past on the horse, and he saw the dissatisfaction, apprehension, and uneasiness in the eyes of the people on the side of the road. The Tai students of Guozijian and the officials who were driven away said that the Dingbei Army was useless, and there was not enough grain and grass left in Kaifeng City, although Liang Xun made efforts, but the effect was very small, and the grain reserves in Zhengzhou were about to run out.

Yang Zhi subconsciously sneered, and silently made a wish in his heart: "Even if you rush to hundreds of thousands of people, you can only cry as a family, not all the way." ”

After the cavalry entered the city, they separated on the street, Yang Yizhong commanded the army to go to the prepared barracks, Wang Gang took a hundred horsemen and followed Yang Zhi to the left-behind division; Yang Zhongwu and Cai Fu, who arrived first, had already cleaned up the left-behind division, arranged the sentry, prepared tea in the hall, Yang Zhi immediately convened everyone to discuss, in addition to Li Gang, Liang Xun, Li Guang, Zhao Ding, Hu Yin, Quan Yanbang, Yang Zhi also called Wang Shan and Yang Jin.

Bianliang is the capital after all, even if it suffers a catastrophe, the tea set on the table is still white porcelain, the green tea in the white tea cup, it looks so fresh and pleasant; the tea is also a good tea, the tea fragrance is clear, refreshing. It's just that the faces of all the people sitting down are a little unkind, Liang Xun glanced at Li Gang and asked if he said it first.

How could Li Gang let Liang Xun say first, nodded and said: "Lord Yang, now most of the yamen have retreated, but there is always a difficult place to finish the work of the government, Zhang Jun hopes to leave some departments in Bianliang to facilitate future operations." Lord Liang also saw it a few days ago, and the situation in Bianliang is very complicated. ”

No matter how complicated the situation in Bianliang is, in Yang Zhi's view, it is a trivial matter, and it is a matter of skill, and the military power is in his own hands, as long as Song Huizong does not change his mind, how to change is also under the control of the Dingbei Army; it is just that after the Bianliang turmoil, the economic strength is extremely weak, and although the market has recovered some vitality, it is far inferior to before. Yang Zhi thought for a moment before saying: "I think Zhang Jun's purpose is to make it difficult for us Qiao women to cook without rice, and everything that should not be transported away has been shipped away, so we have to make a choice, and all those who do not cooperate will be sent out of the country as gifts." ”

"That's not a little bit of a person. Since Yang Zhi wants to run Bianliang, if the people who stay in Bianliang do not cooperate, they will definitely encounter a blow, Li Gang understands this truth, so he is even more uneasy; Yang Zhi and Liang Xun are silent, if they want to shed blood and fight hard, there are many conditions, then it is almost an impossible task. After being silent for a long time, Yang Zhicai asked, "Is this Lord Li's own opinion, or is it the meaning of the Holy Lord?"

"I guess. Li Gang was a little uneasy and a little proud, there were very few opportunities to make things difficult for Yang Zhi; Yang Zhi shook his head after thinking about it and said, "Lord Li, I don't accept your judgment. If the Holy One thinks so, why did he send you, and what are you here for?"

Yang Zhi threw out this question as simple as it seemed, and Liang Xun said with regret: "If Runzhou is in trouble, you can let people go to Chuzhou, or go to Taiyuan." ”

Li Gang was taken aback, and once again realized that the two people in front of him were not simple, the way out for these officials who left Kaifeng was a headache, many people were now only paid severance pay, and they were blown away, and after these people went back, they were all huge hidden dangers. Li Gang spread his hands: "I can't help it, Lord Yang, Lord Liang, what good ideas do you have?"

"I don't know, you can't do anything without the official's file. Yang Zhi looked out of the door calmly, but the tea in front of him seemed to be a little bitter, but fortunately, the tea set revealed an indescribable delicacy and luster;

Liang Xun looked at Yang Zhi with a smile, but there were some doubts in his heart, seeing Yang Zhi's appearance, he clearly had an idea, but he refused to say it; Yang Zhi took a deep breath of the curling tea fragrance coming out of the teacup, and decided to preemptively: "If Lord Li doesn't have the will of the Holy Lord, let's talk about it, no matter how big the difficulty is, we will solve it ourselves." Lord Zhao, you tell Master Li everything we said on the road. ”

Zhao Ding directly said the matter of sowing, Li Gang and others all gasped, this matter is the most complicated, Song Huizong arranged Yang Jian and Li Yan to set up the Kutian Institute was not completed. The officials of the Dingbei Army did not have anything abnormal, they came all the way from Hedong, farming while fighting, Liang Xun nodded and said: "Arranging the sowing of Kaifeng Mansion can cooperate with the implementation, but now that the 100,000 righteous army is in Bianliang, they need to be properly placed, otherwise their people will inevitably destroy the banker, and it will be impossible to prevent it." ”

Yang Zhi thought for a while and said: "After the war in Yingchang Mansion, there was a huge loss of population, and this group of rebels selected people who were good at fighting to be incorporated into the Dingbei Army, and the rest went to Tuntian, Yingchang Mansion, and trained the Tuntian Army separately as a supplement to the source of soldiers behind. Lord Li Guang, Lord Zhao Ding, I want the two of you to go to Yingchang and Huaining, Lord Zhao will serve as the pacification envoy of Yingchang Mansion, and Lord Li will go out of Huaining Mansion. Rest assured, I will not force the sowing of seeds, and it will only be a matter of course. ”

Li Guang said with a smile: "Yang Zhi, we have a long-term vision for temper and governance, and I don't know what you need us to do?"

Yang Zhi is not Song Qinzong, nor is he King Kang Zhao Gou, the highest position in his hands is the five prefects and prefectures, and he will never be without a target; Yang Zhi nodded sincerely and said: "Huaining Mansion has not gone through the war, I hope that after Lord Li goes, it will stabilize the local situation, carry out commerce and trade with Huainan Road, and can supply some materials to Yingchang Mansion.

In terms of Yingchang Mansion, it is to settle the Tuntian Army in the past, and remove the displaced people who do not obey discipline from Yingchang Mansion, and the head of the Tuntian Army will be served by Niu Gao, who is active in Ruzhou and Tangzhou. ”

Li Gang smiled bitterly, as soon as Niu Gao arrived at Yingchang Mansion, plus Bianliang's tens of thousands of Tuntian troops drove out, now the rebels and rogues of Yingchang Mansion can only go west to Tangzhou and other places if they do not surrender, it is better for Niu Gao to be stable there; Liang Xun agreed and said: "Niu Gao is already making preparations in this regard, just waiting for us to take over Yingchang Mansion." ”

Yang Zhi bowed his head in satisfaction, turned back and asked Li Gang: "Is Bianliang's army still ready to go to Chuzhou?"

"Nope. Li Gang said with certainty: "King Kang is known as an army of 200,000 in Chuzhou, a million people, and now those who remain in Bianliang are some people who have nowhere to go. Lord Liang and I asked Zhang Yong and others, and they were all willing to belong to the Dingbei Army. ”
