To the south of the Yellow River, Chong Bin, Yang Jin, Wang Shan and others dragged Liang Xun Jin Cicada out of their shells, specifically looking for the Jin army to transport supplies and the people's army to fight, Wanyan Xi Ya really hurriedly returned north after looting, and had no time to take care of all the teams, the Dingbei army harvested a lot, not only obtained a lot of materials, the original city was lost and regained, and after the Jin army passed, Yang Jin and Niu Gao occupied Ruzhou and Tangzhou; Liang Xun took Chongbin and Wang Shan to attack Zhengzhou directly north after the army crossed the Yellow River.

Wang Zongmao and Liang Xun knew each other when the city of Bianliang was broken, and Liu Yanqing led the army to flee, and two battalions of 6,000 people under his command rushed to Zhengzhou with great strength, although they were swept away by the Jin army again and again, they still collected tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians; Zhang Bangchang said that the Emperor of Chu sent people to contact, Wang Zongmao was unwilling to follow, and was in a dilemma, after Liang Xun said a word, Wang Zongmao agreed to defect to the Dingbei Army, and Liang Xun restored Zhengzhou together.

Liang Xun also knew what kind of character Wang Zongmian was this old friend, so he asked Chongbin to be the governor of Zhengzhou, and wrote a letter urging Yang Jin to give up Ruzhou and go north; Liang Xun told Yang Jin that Niu Gao was in his hometown, and he may not have other ideas, but Yang Jin's men and horses were strong dragons from outside, and if they wanted to survive, they still needed to keep in touch with Taiyuan. For Niu Gao, Liang Xun did not force it, and appointed Niu Gao as Tang Cai's pacification envoy, and let Niu Gao take care of it himself.

To the north of the Yellow River, Huai, Wei, Meng and other prefectures along the way were successively defeated, and Huo Anguo, the prefect of Huaizhou appointed by Bianliang, and Lin Yuan, the governor of Huaizhou, Zhang Pengnian, the governor of the army, and Zhao Shining, the capital supervisor, were killed or killed in battle. Wang Yan was defeated in Weizhou and fled to the west mountain of Gongcheng, Wang Yan did not continue to attack Weizhou, but contacted Fu Xuan, Meng De, Liu Ze, Jiao Wentong and other nineteen villagers in Taihang Mountain to form the eight-character army. Wang Yan's subordinates Zhang Yi and Bai Anmin led more than 1,000 people to flee directly into the river, and after two days of wandering, they got in touch with the army sent by Yang Zhi.

Henan's move cooperated with Yang Zhi's entry into Guanzhong, and Yang Zhi, Wang Yu, and Xu Huiyan commanded the Dingbei Army to take the opportunity to cross the Yellow River and occupy the five prefectures of Tongzhou, Dunzhou, Pizhou, Lizhou, and Huazhou north of Chang'an, and connected them with the Yanyan Road; Li Yanxian returned to Shaanzhou with 2,000 cavalry and took the city of Shaanzhou by himself. It's just that the defenders who stayed in Chang'an when the Jin army retreated turned out to be the Yongxing army, and they were bent on surrendering the Yongxing military road, and Zhao Kai ordered in advance not to attack, so that Yang Zhi had to show mercy.

Subsequently, Yang Zhi ordered Liu Qi and Han Tao, who had arrived from the north, to send troops to the Hanoi area, and Wang Yan's subordinates Zhang Yi and Bai Anmin led more than 1,000 people to get in touch with Yang Zhi's army, recovered Huaizhou and Mengzhou, and opened up the connection with Zhengzhou; Zhang Suo and Wang Ping received the surrender of Wang Boyan's subordinates and horses to govern Li Kan's first section, and took the five prefectures of Xing, Luo, Ci, Yue, and Xiang as a large circle, and went in and out of the Taihang Mountain and the Jin army in a circle, basically retaining several counties near the Taihang Mountain, and re-captured Cizhou and Xiangzhou.

The Dingbei Army restored three prefectures and 14 prefectures on the Hedong Road, namely Taiyuan, Longde, Pingyang, and Jinning, with Zhang Xiaochun, Liu Xiang, Xu Huiyan, and Liu Tao as prefects, and set up eight prefectures, including Jiang, Ze, Dai, Xin, Fen, Liao, Xi, and Ci; Liu Tao failed to commit suicide, but was rescued by Qiu Banjiang to Taiyuan, and after Zhao Kai's persuasion, he was willing to serve. Outside Hedong, Zhao Kai took the seed master Min as the envoy of Yunzhong Road, Yang Zhi as the envoy of Hezhong Road, and Zhang Shen as the envoy of Yanyan Road.

Hezhong Road not only includes Hezhong Mansion, but also includes Tongzhou, Dunzhou, Shaanzhou, Huazhou, Huaizhou, and Mengzhou; Wang Yu is the pacification envoy of Shaanxi, and Zhang Zongge, the governor of Pizhou, two groups of men and horses, are arranged in Lizhou and Pizhou respectively, next to Qinfeng Road Road to govern Fengxiang Mansion. In addition, Zhang Suo was appointed as the pacification envoy of Hebei and Wang Ping as the commander of the capital, and since Beijing did not set up a garrison, it was natural that each of them could be appointed to conquer various places; similarly, Zhao Kai ordered Liang Xun to be the pacification envoy of Heshuo to manage Zhengzhou, Mengzhou, Huaizhou, and other places.

Originally, Zhao Kai only felt that he was waiting for people to be officials in Taiyuan, but now he suddenly felt that there were too few people in his hands, and he had to appease the envoys from all walks of life and make him recommend talents. Yang Zhi learned of his new appointment, and immediately notified all the places under his jurisdiction, Yang Zhi knew very well that with the withdrawal of Wanyan Gao and other three-way Jin troops to Hebei, the thickness of the Jin army's strength in Hebei and Youzhou increased by seven or eight times at once, and the generals led by them were also replaced by famous generals such as Wanyan Zongfu, who could take a large-scale attack on Yunzhong at any time, and the good days in Yunzhong were over.

The most difficult thing is naturally the material, Yang Zhi can only suggest that Zhao Kai take advantage of the salt in Jiezhou to open up the trade route, from the perspective of food, salt can be said to be an important material second only to food, people can not eat meat for a long time, but not for a long time without salt. The salt pond in Jiezhou is 120 miles in circumference, and produces more than 1.5 million stone of salt every year, 380 salt workers, and 400,000 taels of silver a year.

At present, all parts of Guanzhong and Henan and other places can only live by dissolving salt, and even if they are sold to areas under the jurisdiction of Chang'an and Bianliang, it is still a large amount of income; war horses, cattle and sheep are even more of a monopoly business in Taiyuan, and as long as Zhao Kai does not ask, some are businessmen who are willing to make money in them.

Zhao Kai listened to the advice of Yang Zhi and Zhang Xiaochun, and let go of the smuggling from Hebei and Guanzhong to Taiyuan, mainly focusing on cloth, grain, tea, lacquerware, porcelain, liquor, and so on in the south, as well as cattle, sheep and camels collected in the north; now this communication line in Hedong is the safest area in the Great Song Dynasty, there is no war, there is no robbery everywhere, and a large number of smugglers travel to and from Taiyuan from all directions, so that the taxes of all the checkpoints of the Dingbei Army have risen sharply.

Song Huizong sent to Hedong Qin mission is Shen Chong, Shen Chong after meeting with Liang Xun, was quickly escorted to Taiyuan, learned the meaning of Song Huizong, Zhao Kai received the holy decree, agreed to Dingbei Army to join the Great Song Dynasty, to assist in all aspects of the war; Zhao Kai's statement actually announced the independence of the Dingbei Army, which was similar to what Zhao Ye and Zhu Shengfei predicted, as long as the obstacles in front of Zhao Kai were not eliminated, the Dingbei Army basically listened to the tune and did not listen to the announcement.

Regardless of the fact that the Dingbei Army gave enough face to Song Huizong and Shen Chong, Zhao Kai gave an order, and Xu Weiyan, Min, and Wang Yu, who had already gone deep into the Yongxing Military Road to pursue the Jin soldiers, did not continue to expand the results of the battle, and Xu Weiyan and Min, who had even withdrawn from several counties seized on the Yongxing Road, but seduced more than 50,000 people and took away a large amount of supplies, grain and grass; the Dingbei Army had gradually grown up in the struggle with the Jin State, and Zhao Kai had created the impression of a generation of heroes among the people, and Hedong was also a place where the common people thought it was safe.
