Yang Zhi did not occupy the magpie's nest and stayed with Qu Duan in the Jingluo Division, but lived in the office of the Zhifu Division in Youzhou; Cai Fu and the others had already bought several nearby houses and used them for various departments, and now they were just accommodating Yang Zhi's entourage officials. Li Yanxian did not rush back to the barracks, but followed Yang Zhi to the inner hall and asked: "Yang Shuai, Youzhou Road is a bit strange, Qu Duan and Yang Shuai are brothers and sisters, even if Qu Duan and Wu Jue have contradictions, there is no need to make such a fuss today." ”

Yang Zhi motioned for Li Yanxian to sit down and said: "After Li Qiong went to Hengshan Mansion, someone successively approached Wu Jue, Wang Bian, and Sang Zhong, suggesting that they apply for transfer to Hedong, and it is said that they were promised to be promoted to two levels. Qu Duan was just a little annoyed, and it was nothing to vent today. ”

Li Yanxian was stunned, he had been following Yang Zhi for a long time, and naturally knew that those people had a purpose, Sang Zhong had lofty ambitions, Wang became greedy for official positions, and Wu Jue had followed Yang Zhi for the shortest time; As for Qu Duan, he can know it, it's nothing more than these people saying it themselves or someone deliberately telling right and wrong; Li Yanxian's heart is like a mirror, with Yang Zhi's prestige in the army, Qu Duan's decision is not enough to rely on, the key is to look at Yang Zhi's attitude, Qu Duan performed in front of Yang Zhi today, and he was also aware of this.

Cai Qing came in with tea and said with a smile: "Fortunately, I brought tea and tea sets when I went out, the configuration of the official office on Youzhou Road is too poor, I asked, it was ordered by Qu Shuai, and it can't be luxurious." ”

"Qu Duan is better than me. Yang Zhi praised it, smiled and asked Cai Qingye to sit down and said: "Qu Duan's worries are not unreasonable, why Yue Fei left Jingzhou is because Wang Gui, Guo Sheng and others do not support him, Yue Fei can only leave depressed; Qu Duan doesn't want the story to repeat itself, so he is unwilling to give people a handle, and he is not willing to be stabbed in the back by his subordinates." Don't worry about this matter, I will take care of it, and you should pay attention to the gossip in the army and in the Youzhou Road Official's Mansion. ”

Li Yanxian and the two knew about this matter that Zhu Wu and Yang Yue had at least sent a large number of their subordinates to other places, and only Yue Fei had lost completely; the meaning of Yang Zhi's words was already very clear, and no one was allowed to stir up trouble in it, whether it was the army or the government. Li Yanxian laughed and asked, "Yang Shuai is also afraid of losing completely?"

"I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid. Yang Zhi said with certainty: "I'm afraid that I have failed my martial arts, the Huns have not been destroyed, I can't put Nanshan on horseback, and I am unwilling to hand over the military power before recovering Yanyun." ”

Li Yanxian and Cai Qing were in high spirits, they heard Yang Zhi say this for the first time, and they immediately understood that Yang Zhi would not allow such a thing to happen, so Yang Zhi should stand on Quduan's side. Li Yanxian thought in an instant, Yang Zhizhong used Wu Jue and Liu Ziyu, in fact, to clear the opponent for Qu Duan, if the army can capture Lingzhou this time, it will inevitably sweep through Western Xia, Yue Fei and others are going to reinforce Henan, and sooner or later they will withdraw to Qinzhou, then it must be Wu Jue and others who stay in Lingzhou.

The soldiers are not bloody, kill two birds with one stone, Yang Zhi is really generous, so the controversy in the Economic Strategy Division is actually a good thing, the three parties take what they need, and there will be no pimples left in their hearts. Just like Yang Zhi said, he is unwilling to hand over the military power, and if someone really wants to do this, he will definitely pay a huge price.

When Li Yanxian left, Qu Duan had already followed with a table of banquets, and the two met at the gate, Qu Duan smiled and said, "Yanxian, leave after eating." "Sweet potato

Li Yanxian confessed and said: "Qu Shuai, Yang Shuai handed over the army to me, I don't dare not return to the barracks." ”

Qu Duan laughed: "Big brother actually likes to be obedient, if I were you, I wouldn't care." ”

Li Yanxian knew that what Qu Duan said was a joke, and if he dared to say this in front of Yang Zhi, he would definitely be severely beaten by Yang Zhi; Li Yanxian replied tepidly and left. When Qu Duan walked inside again, Yang Zhi had already greeted him, and the two walked inside side by side, Qu Duan whispered: "Big brother, this time Wu Jue still has to be used carefully, as far as I know, he is now doing everything possible to drill the door of King Yun, if he makes any flower head essence, outsiders will talk about you and my brother have nothing to say." ”

Yang Zhi's footsteps were still at the usual pace, and he pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "Now many people are not speculating about how I am going to attack Western Xia, let's promote Wu Jue and let them see your and my minds." ”

"Big brother is smart!" Although Qu Duan is a little paranoid and ruthless, he still refuses to come to good opinions, and Yang Zhi is not only a sworn brother and his top boss, but also a person who Qu Duan is determined to serve. The two of them sat down in the room, the wine and food had been arranged, Cai Qing closed the door, and Qu Duan's long entourage set up another table on the side of the corridor to accompany them; they were all good men in the army, and they could drink wine and eat meat in large bowls, but today, they all consciously said that it was good to have one bowl per person, and no more wine was added.

In the room, Yang Zhi poured wine for Qu Duan and said: "There is something you can do immediately when you go back at night, since we have Xiazhou as our goal, I hope that while attacking Lingzhou, Xiazhou will also launch at the same time." I know that you have a great influence among the rebels and small tribes, so first arrange for two troops to be stationed on the edge of the desert to hunt down the spies of the Western Xia and the caravan transporting supplies, and if the Western Xia army kills them, they will flee directly to Youzhou. ”

"Thank you big brother for reminding you!" Qu Duan was overjoyed, this was exactly his original intention today, if he did not provoke the Western Xia army in Xiazhou, the Western Xia army would not necessarily choose Youzhou as the target; Yang Zhi's idea was simple and effective, once the Western Xia army cleared these two troops, the troops would naturally move towards Youzhou. Qu Duan drank a bowl of wine in front of him and asked, "I don't know what my eldest brother thinks of me?"

Over the years, Qu Duan has been unwilling in the Western Army, Yang Zhi arrived in Shaanxi, Qu Duan directly made a strategic envoy, how many people secretly discussed; Qu Duan was quite angry in his heart, and he also wanted to suppress these people, but he still couldn't do anything. Yang Zhi stared at Qu Duan and said, "A generation of famous generals, what do you think of yourself?"

Qu Duan is also a quick-witted person, thought for a while and said, "Big brother, I understand, I won't let you down." ”

"That's good!" Yang Zhi saw that Qu Duan really understood, and said calmly: "You do your errand, you don't need to worry about what other people say, we fought on the battlefield for the Great Song Dynasty, not for any history to leave a name, not to listen to one or two good words." It is precisely because of the relationship between you and me that Wu Jue and the others are worried that they will not be treated fairly, second brother, if you change positions, will you worry?"
