Yang Zhi spread his hands very innocently and said: "I didn't expect the Zhi family to sweat and bleed, but the Zhe family also needs to think about it, you are now a feudal town of the Great Song Dynasty, if Bianliang collapses, what will you do?"

"Bianliang collapsed?" Zhi Kefu was furious: "Yang Zhi, you are also a citizen of the Great Song Dynasty, how can you say such things." ”

Yang Zhi suddenly leaned forward and leaned back with laughter, and his eyes were about to split, Yang Zhi laughed for a while and said: "You still count on Zhao Huan of Bianliang? We are relatives, we are all people who do great things, let's make a bet, if within a year, Zhao Huan is still sitting on the dragon chair in Bianliang and giving orders, I will give you Huozhou and Yunnei Prefecture, if Zhao Huan steps down, you will divide Fengzhou and the northeast of the Kuye River to Huozhou." ”

Yan Qing and Zhe Kefu immediately understood what Yang Zhi meant, the soldiers are not bloody, as long as they make this bet, the Dingbei Army can justifiably take the folded gamble to send troops, but from another point of view, Yang Zhi has enough confidence in the resignation of Song Qinzong and Zhao Huan. The problem is that Yang Zhi has already disobeyed Bianliang's orders, but the Zhe family is still the official of Bianliang, needless to say what the result is, as long as the gambling contract is passed out, the Zhe family will not have good fruit to eat.

Zhe Kefu had too many doubts in his heart, and he had no intention of wasting time going around in circles with Yang Zhi, so he immediately shook his head and said, "I won't make this bet with you, convince me in another way." ”

Yan Qing couldn't help but look at Zhe Kefu, Zhe Kefu belonged to that kind of gloomy person, after getting along for so long, Yan Qing hadn't seen Zhi Kefu so polite to anyone; Yang Zhi said in a deep voice: "The Jin Kingdom has almost swept Hebei now, even if Ma Kuo and the others are fighting to the death, it is just a moment of righteous indignation, and there is no discipline, so the Jin Kingdom will definitely go south in a month or two, and the target is Bianliang." ”

Zhe Kefu shook his head again and again and said, "Doesn't the Jin Kingdom care about Yunzhong, and doesn't conquer Yunzhong and Taiyuan first?"

Yang Zhi said: "The Jin people need to survive the winter, and Bianliang was too easy to fight last time, so the Jin people don't plan to spend much effort, they will set different goals this time and the same as last time, and put forward in the final negotiations, if they can't beat Bianliang, they will want three more towns, such as Daimyo, Jinan, and Qingzhou." ”

Yang Zhi said that it was very likely, and Zhi Kefu immediately became interested, patted the armrest of the chair and asked: "This kind of major event can also be estimated, then I will also estimate, once Bianliang cedes these places, you will have depth, you can justifiably send troops to occupy it, every time you recover a city, it will be slapped in Bianliang's face, if you can recover two or three towns, Hebei, Henan, and Shandong will be popular with the people, and the emperor will ......."

As long as Zhao Huan and Zhao Kai evolve according to Yang Zhihe's own predictions, Zhao Huan's throne is almost difficult to support for half a year, and King Yun came to the north, and it was really a plan to move, Shandong and Hebei don't know how many shadows are waiting for the day when the situation changes. Yang Zhi laughed: "Such a good thing, how can there be no broken family? I promise, you and we will definitely make a lot of money." ”

Zhe Kefu was disdainful of Yang Zhi's assurance, but he was apprehensive about Yang Zhi, the future helmsman of the Guan Middle School School, and said with a slight smile: "Listen to me." "Okay

"I'm going to capture Yanzhou. Yang Zhi said calmly: "If you participate, the three will be divided equally." ”

Yanzhou, the salt pond next to Xiazhou, is now in the hands of Yelu Yujian, Zhe Kefu and Yan Qing immediately knew what Yang Zhi's purpose was, and the Great Song Dynasty never destroyed the heart of Xia, but was forced by the threat of the north, and never found a chance to attack; but now the Dingbei army has found another way, formed an alliance with Yelu Yujian, and instigated Yelu Yujian to capture Xiping, and the Dingbei army took the opportunity to enter the four states of Hetao and the volcano state, and could support Yelu Yujian. As long as the folded family participates, Xiazhou is a lonely city, Yang Zhi only needs to move his mouth and come up with a plan, I am afraid that he will be able to get Yanzhou from Yelu Yujian.

No, Yang Zhi's purpose is very simple, that is, to conquer Jingzhou, and then share Yanzhou; if Yanzhou is in the hands of Yelu Yujian, Western Xia can still find a way to take it back, if it is divided by the Great Song Dynasty, the Xingliao Army, and the Dingbei Army, unless the Western Xia fights, there is no hope at all. But now that Western Xia is the time when the new lord ascends the throne, he is deeply mired in internal and external troubles, and the slightest mistake will cause infinite variables.

Zhe Kefu has to say that Yang Zhi's wishful thinking played well, and without hesitation, he dug a big pit for everyone, but everyone had to jump; Yelu Yu saw that the original Shuozhou was given to Yang Zhi, and his own battle in Xiping Mansion attracted the attention of the Western Xia, so that Yang Zhi could enter the Hetao at the smallest cost, and with the death of Li Yu in battle, the threat of the Western Xia to Qizhou was close to zero, did the Zhe family take advantage of this to destroy the Western Xia army around Qizhou? Once the war started, did it need to extend the battle line to the line of Xiazhou and Yanzhou?

While marveling at the strength of Yang Zhi's conspiracy, Zhi Kefu immediately thought of a key question: "If you lose the clouds, it will be the water of no source?"

Yang Zhi smiled and bowed: "That's right, so I only need one-third of Yanzhou, even if I defeat Xiazhou, it will be Yelu Yu." ”

Yang Zhi told Zhi Kefu that he would not stay in Yanzhou, so he was not worried about the Jin army going south; Yan Qing was very curious: "You are not afraid that the Zhi family and Yelu Yanxi will swallow your territory?"

Zhe Kefu shook his head bitterly and said: "The roads that sell salt to Youzhou, Hebei and other places are in the hands of the Dingbei Army, and they don't garrison the army and don't worry about us repenting." What's more, after doing this, how can Bianliang tolerate the folding family, and we can only obediently defect to the Dingbei Army. ”

So that's the case, Yan Qing and Zhe Kefu were still sighing when they left Yang Zhi's camp, Yang Zhi's methods were much more powerful than Xie Shi's what drove the tiger and devoured the wolf, the huge benefits were in front of him, and the Zhe family was probably really in a dilemma; Zhe Kefu did not refuse Yang Zhi on the spot, and left a gift and said goodbye to Yan Qing. Yan Qing understood that Zhi Kefu did not mention any conditions, in fact, he promised Yang Zhi in disguise that he would cooperate with the Dingbei Army in Volcano Town.

The two returned to Volcano Town, and several traders attached to the Zhejia family had been waiting for a long time, bringing unexpected news that Zhang Shiheng's goods to the Yellow River were intercepted by the Dingbei Army, and the Dingbei Army was very reasonable, and did not do anything to block the daily department stores and porcelain tea, but confiscated the copper coins, ironware, and paper in the cart as taxes. This attitude shows that even if the Dingbei Army knew that the Zhang family's business was related to Western Xia, it still did not stop it, but only divided the embargoed materials.

Zhe Kefu said: "Then there is no need for everyone to panic, Yang Zhi is allowed to do business on the warring side, which means that it will not block our financial route." ”
