Chapter 705: King Yun Holds a Banquet

In the evening, Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, set up a banquet to entertain Yang Zhi and the middle of the seed master, and the will of the imperial court had been brought to Youzhou by Sheng Yuyi, except for Wang Ping who stayed in Yizhou, Yang Zhi went to Yingzhou, and the seed master returned to Weizhou; Ye Lu Ning, Zhang Dungu, Gao Liu, Shi Liai and other old ministers of the Liao State all attended the banquet, Gao Qigong and others had already set off with more than 20,000 soldiers and civilians who were willing to go to Liaoyang, and the rest were the people who were currently on the side of the Great Song Dynasty.

  Yelu Ning was named King Xu and Youzhou Jiedu Envoy, and lived in Bianliang; Zhang Dungu served as the envoy of Fanyang Jiedu, the same as Guo Yaoshi, the soldier and horse capital of Yanshan Prefecture, and Wang Anzhong, the prefect of Yanshan Prefecture. Gao Liu was appointed as the governor of Danzhou, but Shi Liai resigned and went home, just wanted to see Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, so he came to this banquet; Yang Zhi heard Deng Su say, and immediately became interested in Shi Liai, this person seems to have become a big official in the Jin State later, Yang Zhi wants to find out the reason.

  Yang Zhi specially asked Deng Su to arrange Shi Liai next to him, after the banquet began, Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, did not refuse, Yang Zhi smiled and touched the wine bowl with Shi Liai, drank half a bowl of wine and asked: "Lord Shi thinks that the Jin Kingdom will occupy Youzhou sooner or later?"

  Shi Liai, who was drinking, was almost choked, this was a view in his heart, he saw that the Song Dynasty was becoming more and more corrupt, refused to respond to the edict, and wrote a letter to warn the clan family not to be Song officials; Shi Liai coughed a few times, Yang Zhi stretched out his hand and patted Shi Liai's back and said: "Strength is one thing, sometimes you still have to talk about some luck." ”

  Shi Liai relieved himself and said, "What does Lord Yang think of Jin Guo?"

  Yang Zhi stopped his hand and said lightly: "The rise of the Jin Kingdom is the time when there are many famous generals, but this kind of momentum has been Turkic and Khitan, and after ten or twenty years, everyone is gone. ”

  Shi Liai pondered for a moment, and suddenly realized: "Fighting is not only about the army, so you promote peace between the two sides, if the Jin Kingdom starts up again in ten years, it may not be able to win, at most it is an advantage, and money is the most unproblematic for the Central Plains." If you destroy Western Xia within ten years, the Jin Kingdom may not be able to win, Lord Yang, you seem to have specifically asked me to say this, right?"

  Yang Zhi smiled and said, "You came to see King Yun, don't you just want to make the last choice?" Lord Shi, since you don't want to be an official, can you be interested in traveling to the Central Plains and have more contact with King Yun and the scholars of the Central Plains?"

  Shi Liai thought for a long time, shook his head and said, "Forget about the Central Plains, in a year and a half, I'll go and see how Yingzhou you manage?"

  "Welcome. Du Wanche always watched Yang Zhi's actions, Song Huizong asked Sheng Yuyi to bring a private message, the most worried was that Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, secretly absorbed the officials of Youzhou, but Zhao Kai behaved very calmly today, and Yang Zhi also chatted with Shi Liai, who was not ready to be an official, although Du Wanche looked awkward, but he was still relieved in private, and he and Shi Mojie could tell the truth.

  After Yang Zhi and Shi Liai finished chatting, they got up and saluted Zhao Kai with a bowl of wine, and said to Zhao Kai: "I wish the prince a smooth sailing and all the best when he goes back." ”

  Zhao Kai said with a smile after drinking: "It's a pity that I can't travel around with Brother Yang, and I hope that Brother Yang will benefit the people in Yingzhou." ”

  Yang Zhi bowed and said: "Definitely, but I still have a reluctant request, can I let Deng Su stay in Yingzhou, I am going to build a Jincheng Academy in Yingzhou, specializing in educating the local children of all ethnic groups and the three counties of Yingzhou, and I want to ask Deng Su to be the head of the mountain." ”

  This time, the imperial court came to the decree, and did not give Deng Su an official position, it seems that Zhao Kai proposed this person, indicating that Song Huizong and the prime ministers still have prejudices against Deng Su, Yang Zhi's idea is a good idea, Zhao Kai asked Yang Zhi: "How many gentlemen do you need in this academy, do you need me to help you mobilize some people from Bianliang and Taiyuan?"

  Yang Zhi said with a smile: "I mainly educate children of all ethnic groups, and I don't plan to let them be admitted to the Jinshi, I don't care about learning, I only care about character and ambition, anyway, the more the merrier." It's just that I need to build a trading house to maintain the lives of these children and the cost of the academy, and I hope that the prince and all the adults will help me in the future. ”

  Zhao Kai and Li Gang are both people who have read history books, so they naturally know that Yang Zhi is to buy people's hearts and slowly sinicize all ethnic groups. Li Gang, who was sitting on Zhao Kai's left, nodded and said, "This is as it should be, the government can also allocate some money, and I will talk to the Transit Division." ”

  Yang Zhi is not prepared for Li Gang to do what he says, but with Li Gang's words, there will be more places that can be operated in the future. Yang Zhi thanked Li Gang and said: "As long as Youzhou and Datong can be safe and sound, everything else is easy to talk about, and I hope that the adults will say hello to Lord Tan." ”

  Li Gang smiled and nodded, although he was upright, but he was not pedantic, and there was news from the Imperial City Division, knowing that Yang Zhi was just talking about the table; as soon as Tan Zhi arrived in Youzhou, Yang Zhi gave two good horses and sold his house to Tan Zhi. As for whether Yang Zhi collected the money, no one knows, anyway, Tan Zhi has already told Zhao Kai that he will not conflict with Yang Zhi.

  When the banquet dispersed, Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, did not have a private chat with Yang Zhi, but just said that Yang Zhi's contribution to recovering Pingzhou would be reported separately, so he went back to rest; Yang Zhi just exchanged a few words with Zhang Dungu and Gao Liu at the yamen, and said polite words to ask the two to take care of them in the future.

  Yang Zhi returned to the barracks, and Zong Wei recently whispered, "Mr. Gongsun has arrived. ”

  It turned out that Gongsun Sheng was here to deliver the letter, and by the way, he brought Meng Kang over, and when the god operator Jiang Jing was connected with a person, he was targeted by Shi Qian, who was on the drum, and Shi Qian followed that person, and when Zou Run and Zou Yuan came to the door to catch him, it turned out to be the iron called Zi Lehe; Le He didn't panic when he saw the stuffing, and directly said that he was here to meet Jiang Jing, and Zhu Wu, the master of the divine machine, didn't ask any extra words at all, so he let Jiang Jing and Lehe leave.

  After Gongsun Sheng finished speaking, he said with a smile: "After this incident, Yue Fei and Han Shizhong realized that the secrecy of the firearms battalion is necessary, and it is not only the enemy who is guarded against, but also their own people; ”

  Yang Zhi's head was raised: "There is no perfect thing in the world, we are not omnipotent, the method of training the army is leaked, as long as the gunpowder is kept, as for the war in the future, Yue Fei and they are better than me, I still take care of my business." But I have something to trouble sir. ”
