Xiao Lili knew that Yang Zhi said the key point, the Song army was naturally tempting, if even Fang La's goods were robbed, it was a local general's action to beat the grass, it can be considered that the general was more courageous than others, or more greedy than others;

Xiao Lili relaxed a little and said, "Fang La's goods have also been confiscated, and more people have died than Xiao Sixian. ”

Liaoguo has been operating in Baozhou for many years, and even if Baosai Town is lost, there are other spy networks in Baozhou, and there is still relatively accurate intelligence. Yang Zhi has a bottom in his heart, no matter which version he crosses, since Fang La fled with hatred, the most likely thing is to return to Jiangnan to prepare for rebellion; Yang Zhi muttered: "That is a personal act, no matter how high this person's position is, Song Huizong has not yet made up his mind to fight; ”

Xiao Fengli stared at Yang Zhi deadly, Xiao Fengxian guessed that Yang Zhi would say this, and took eye medicine in front of Yeluchun in advance, saying that all Yang Zhi's actions were to provoke the Liaojin War and pave the way for the Northern Expedition of the Song Army. Yang Zhi felt Xiao Lili's gaze, and explained lightly: "The Song army is different from Liaojin, his army does not bring its own food, it all depends on the supply of the state capital along the way, if it is sent to the army, the grain and grass should have been mobilized long ago, have you received such news in the intelligence network of the Central Plains?"

No, Xiao Weili said slowly: "But if there is a general like you in the Song army, there may not be a need to transfer grain and grass materials on a large scale. ”

Yang Zhi suddenly realized that he had done bad things with good intentions, that he was just a lowest-level officer in the Song Dynasty, and that he was a little conspicuous after coming to the Great Liao, and that in the eyes of many Liao magnates who did not know, people like himself in the Great Song Dynasty were at least caught; the Liao State and the Jin State had suffered great losses in the source of troops, and now among the sixteen states of Yanyun, I am afraid that except for a few cities such as Youzhou, there are only a few thousand troops in most of the states, and if they are really attacked by tens of thousands of troops, they are likely to be broken by each one.

Yang Zhi could only smile bitterly, he couldn't say that he was talented, the Central Plains couldn't find a second one, whether Xiao Lili could listen to it or not depended on him; Xiao Lili moved lightly and said: "Yang Zhi, it's not that we are not at ease with you, but the stakes are very high, we must confirm it repeatedly, otherwise the Nanjing Privy Council can call the shots, why bother to fight the lawsuit to Shangjing and Zhongjing, you think about it, and then have two more reasons." ”

Yang Zhi thought for a while and asked, "Have you seen the report of the resentful army on Monk Ma?"

Xiao Yuli smiled, took out the report from his arms and said, "I arrived yesterday morning, I should say that you did a beautiful job, Yang Pu's student, and you are on your way to Zhongjing." ”

Yang Zhi did not receive the report, but asked Xiao Lira: "What do you see in the report?"

Xiao Lili knew why Yang Zhi left the resentful army, and on the day Yang Zhi handed over the merchant group, Master Tianxin and King Jin stopped the investigation at the suggestion of Buddha Nanda; Xiao Lili couldn't help but glance at the report and asked, "Is there anything that Monk Ma hasn't said?"

There are many places that Monk Ma didn't say, and he didn't say that Jihong was a golden vulture, but Yang Zhi wanted to talk about Yang Pu: "Monk Ma knows that Yang Pu went to sea, which is similar to the news I heard in Hebei, and it should be a meeting between Song and Jin, but neither Jin nor Song can immediately come up with a battle plan, but since they are alliances, the two sides will make a gesture." According to my opinion, Baosai Town is the posture of the Great Song Dynasty, and Xianzhou is the posture of the Jin Kingdom. ”

Xiao Lili was somewhat convinced, the judgment of Song and Jin joining forces was not unexpected, and the countries themselves were in a state of cooperation, each showing its own means; according to the time that Monk Ma said, Song and Jin had just reached an agreement at most, and it was impossible to mobilize a large army, and it was not ruled out that both countries were using the agreement as a bargaining chip. Xiao Lili asked Yang Zhi: "Under what circumstances do you think the Great Song Dynasty will send troops?"

"The fall of Zhongjing. Yang Zhi said very decisively, in history, after the Dading Mansion in Zhongjing was captured by the Jin State, the Song Dynasty was afraid that it would not be able to take back the sixteen states of Yanyun, so it hastily dispatched troops;

"Xianzhou is lost. Yang Zhi said calmly: "If Xianzhou is lost, the Jin State will approach Zhongjing and Shangjing, which is related to the survival of the national unity, and the Liao State will definitely fight with all its might, and the troops in Youzhou and other places are empty, although the battle is hard, but the opportunity is rare." If Zhongjing loses, the Liao army will no longer be able to form a defensive line in the north, and the main force will basically retreat to Youzhou and other places; the Song Dynasty will send troops again, which is to attract troops for the Jin State, so that the Jin State can calmly sweep Shangjing and other places. ”

Xiao Lili frowned and said, "You are so unoptimistic about Da Liao?"

Yang Zhi spread his hands and stopped talking, and Xiao Lili was speechless for a while, because he knew that Yang Zhi's judgment was correct, and that after an armistice of eight or nine months, Yeluchun and Xiao Fengxian did not seize the time to reorganize their troops and prepare for battle, but on the contrary, they were promoting negotiations between the two sides, and in order to avoid misunderstanding between the Jin people, they even cut down the troops in Qianzhou and other places. Buddha Nanda succeeded Yang Zhi, in fact, there is also this background in it, hoping to calm the anger of the Jin people.

Yang Zhi took the initiative to end this embarrassment: "General Xiao Lira, it's better for us to find a place to sit, the affairs of the court and the central government are not something that a small person like me can ask about." ”

Xiao Lili waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, Zhongjing is not Bianliang City after all, and the liveliness is still a little worse." Let me ask you, if you go to Youzhou and let you stay in the southern courtyard to assist Yelu Dashi, what would it be? Originally, we agreed with Yelu Nei's suggestion, and we had this idea. ”

Yang Zhi was silent for a long time before he said: "I came to Liao to take refuge, and I have no intention of fighting the Song army. ”

Yang Zhi's meaning is that I can contribute to the Liao State, but I am not ready to participate in the war against the Song Dynasty; Yang Zhi's attitude made Xiao Lili relieved, if Yang Zhi happily said that he was willing to die for the Great Liao and sweep the Central Plains, it would not be credible. Xiao Lili nodded and said: "This is no problem, Da Liao itself is a Khitan general in control of the army, don't talk about you, it is not easy for a native Han to lead an army alone." We hope to use your strengths to prepare you to serve as a member of the military department, responsible for consulting the details of Youzhou and other places, and Ye Lulei as your assistant. ”

Yang Zhi looked at Xiao Lira and said, "It's not good. ”
