Chapter 438: To the West

Yang Zhi was overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked him, Beifu Fei was not an ordinary blacksmith, the first weapon master at that time, the bronze mask made for Di Qing, it is said that it can take people's souls, so that the Xixia army is afraid when they see it, and lose their fighting spirit; Yang Zhi immediately thanked the host of Longkong, and the Zen master of the mountain joked: "Senior brother, there is Master Longkong, in the future, in Chang'an City, no one will dare to provoke you blatantly." ”

The host of Long Kong shook his head and smiled: "Lord Yang is not a person who can be slaughtered by others and has no power to fight back, so there is no need to worry about this at all, but Lord Yang, Chang'an is a land of right and wrong, and it is not suitable to stay for a long time; ”

It seems that the host of Longkong has changed his mind again, such people have almost caught up with the people of the vertical and horizontal; Yang Zhi laughed and said: "Everything is arranged by the master alone." ”

After Yang Zhi and Longkong presided over the others, the Zen master of the mountain sent Yang Zhi to the mountain gate and said: "Senior brother, there are some things that can be understood and cannot be said, Longkong presided over the original Han monk of Qinghai Tantra, and followed Wang Shao to persuade Bao Shun to surrender. ”

Bao Shun is Yu Longke of the Tibetan Department, Yu Longke was the most powerful in the Qingtang region at that time, and he wanted to control the Qiang people and Xia people in Weiyuan, in the eyes of the Xixia people, this is a dangerous guy, for the sake of territory, Xixia and Yu Longke often fought. And many generals in the Song army were worried that Yu Longke would become the second Li Jiqian, and most of the generals' opinions were to crusade against Yu Longke first.

After Wang Shao investigated the situation in the Qingtang region, he rejected the proposal to send troops, and personally led several horsemen straight to Yu Longke's tribe, analyzed his success or failure, and stayed there that night. The next morning, the two sides reached an agreement, and some of the Qiang and Xia people who were not convinced by Yu Longke sent their important leaders to accompany Wang Shaodong, and Yu Longke occupied almost half of the Qingtang Dynasty and occupied most of the territory between Qinzhou and Longyou.

Yu Longke thus became the scruple of the Western Xia to use troops against the Song, and the Western Xia first took Yu Longke to open the knife, and after more than a year of attack and killing, Yu Longke led more than 120,000 of his subordinates to surrender to the Great Song Dynasty. In the fourth year of Song Xining, Yu Longke was inspected by the Song Fengdian Zhifan; in five years, Yu Longke helped Song to guard the border, awarded the Xitou worship officer, and gave the surname Bao Mingshun, and in the following years, Yu Longke rose all the way to the defense envoy of Jiezhou. During the Yuan Fu period, the Song army captured the Huangshui Valley, and Yu Longke was ordered to preside over the affairs of Tao, Min and other places to reduce Qiang, and was a loyal supporter of the Great Song Dynasty in the northwest region.

Host Longkong turned out to have such an identity, and he could follow Wang Shao to walk in Qingtang, so Host Longkong would not be an ordinary monk, or still have connections in the Qingtang area, and may even have other missions. It's just that that's not what Yang Zhi cares about, Yang Zhi nodded and said: "I know, senior brother, Zhu Wu is back, you tell Zhu Wu and Kou Yi to start buying iron in Fengxiang Mansion, and the various temples in Chang'an also help buy a little." ”

Zhu Wu and the others had already gone to Fengxiang Mansion, and Yang Zhi didn't know if he had time when the two came back, so he could only ask the Zen Master of Hatshan Mountain; It's just that for Yang Zhi's purpose, the Zen Master of the Hate Mountain was puzzled, so he asked: "Senior brother, are you concentrating on the war horse and iron weapons, do you have any movements?"

Yang Zhi laughed and said: "How can there be any action, I worshiped six brothers yesterday, I want to give them a little gift, and the back is to specialize in private business, good iron can make some accessories, if you have friends in Bianliang, even if it is made by an ordinary blacksmith, it is also a good weapon, and the iron quality of the Great Song Dynasty is too poor." ”

Since it's just business, the Zen Master of Hatshan will not say more, at the foot of the Bianliang Emperor, maybe there are no top masters, but there are indeed many good craftsmen who can build weapons, and the Zen Master of Hatshan waved his hand and said goodbye to Yang Zhi. Yang Zhi returned to the barracks and saw that Liu Zhongwu and the others had a dark cloud on their faces, Yang Zhi was shocked and asked, "What's wrong?"

Liu Qi said helplessly: "The Di report just sent, Heshuo was defeated, Huyanzhuo has surrendered to Song Jiang after the defeat, and the flower monk Lu Zhishen has also arrived in the thief army, that Lu Zhishen's original name is Luda, but the original fierce general of our Western Army, the favorite general of the old general before his death, as soon as these two people participated, Song Jiang's momentum increased greatly. ”

Ordinary thieves and soldiers don't pay attention to it, but the people from the officer background are different, if Hu Yanzhuo and Lu Zhishen are careful, they can train Song Jiang's men and horses into an army in a few months; Yang Zhi asked: "Where is Song Jiang now, eastward or westward?"

Qu Duan asked in surprise: "Song Jiang will still march west, so what is his purpose?"

Yang Zhi nodded and said: "According to the current situation, Song Jiang is nothing more than Zhao'an or Liu, I caught the nine-pattern dragon Shi Jin in Huayin County, and the Privy Council has sent Xie Shi to prepare to contact, I'm afraid Xie Shi has already contacted Song Jiang." If my expectations are not bad, Song Jiang relied on this to persuade Hu Yanzhuo to surrender, and when Song Jiangxi came, he could meet Su Taiwei or King Jing to show his loyalty. If it doesn't work, it's not too late to turn around and head east. ”

Liu Qi and the others said in their hearts, Song Jiang is here to visit, is it purely frightened, okay? If Song Jiang is killed by King Jing, I am afraid that these people accompanying him will not be able to live. Liu Zhongwu was puzzled and asked: "Since Song Jiang has the idea of accepting Zhao'an, didn't the imperial court arrange for Hou Meng to come forward, why bother to go far?"

Yang Zhi explained with a smile: "Shibo, Hou Meng is the governor of Dongping, naturally there will be no high price from the Privy Council, Song Jiang definitely wants to sell himself at a high price, so before the price is negotiated, Song Jiang may avoid Hou Meng." What I am most afraid of now is that the Privy Council's offer will not be able to satisfy Song Jiang, and Song Jiang will not be able to get a satisfactory answer when he meets Taiwei Su, so Song Jiang will do a more earth-shattering thing in order to show his value. ”

"Do they dare to kidnap Su Taiwei?" Jiao Anjie was a little puzzled, avoiding Hou Meng Jiao An's understanding, after all, rebelling against Zhao'an is for the sake of profit, but daring to hijack the Tai Lieutenant of the Dynasty is not an ordinary courage; Yang Zhi said calmly: "Song Jiang doesn't rob people, Su Taiwei is afraid that he won't listen to him a word, now Su Taiwei and Hou Meng are actually powerless, it depends on Xie Shi and Hu Yanzhuo's actions behind, they will not leave a little back in the Song Jiang army." ”

The back hand was naturally to do it to Song Jiang, Mi Youren didn't believe that Xie Shi and the others still had the means, and blurted out: "Song Jiang is cunning and untrustworthy, if they have the means, they won't fall to this point." ”
