After Yang Zhongwu left, Yang Zhi heard the sound of the drums of Yijiu, went back to his room to rest, and told Cai Qing not to let anyone disturb him; Cai Qing slept in the room outside, and immediately told the sentry in the courtyard that he went to wash and sleep. Yang Zhi always maintained the habit of not waiting for anyone before the crossing, so no one came in after the hot water was placed in the room; Yang Zhi locked the door inside, and then walked to a cabinet on the very edge, moved the mechanism, walked down the corridor, and walked to the gardener's house in the corner of the garden.

There were candles lit in the room, Zhu Liang was not there, only a young gardener was patiently looking at a pot of epiphyllum that did not bloom, Yang Zhi sat down on a wooden chair in the room and asked, "Gong He, have you thought about it?"

Gong He stood and saluted and said, "Back to Yang Shuai, Gong He has thought about it." ”

Gong He is the seedling selected by Zhu Liang layer by layer, Zhu Liang finally selected twenty people, Gong He is the most outstanding one among them; Gong He is only nineteen years old, he looks like a jade tree in the wind, standing in front of Yang Zhi without any uneasy expression, and his two eyes look more like the eyes of a thirty-year-old person. Yang Zhi has read Gong He's information, and he was selected by Zhu Liang because he showed different combat effectiveness in the army, similar to Li Xianzhong, he had not practiced any martial arts, but he was born to be an embryo who could fight.

Therefore, Gong He did not have any contact with anyone, so he was sent to Youzhou to lurk, and Gong He did not expect to see Yang Zhi before leaving, Yang Zhi has a different prestige as the commander of the army. Yang Zhi didn't let Gong He sit down, but said lightly: "I have also lurked in Youzhou, but your current environment is even worse, Zhu Liang should have told you about your mission, we don't expect you to get any information in the short term, you just need to behave well in the army and strive to enter the upper echelons of the Jin Kingdom." I hope you can understand that if you follow the Jin army south, the most important thing you need is to protect yourself and not do superfluous things. ”

Gong He nodded and said, "The last general understands that Master Zhu has arranged a contact point for me in Youzhou, and my identity should not be exposed, so as not to involve other people." ”

Yang Zhi knew this, and advised: "You haven't practiced martial arts, it's easy to gain the trust of the Jin people, you don't need to show up at that contact point, you only need to report your safety once every six months, or you can transfer to some other place and inform them." Zhu Liang and I have designed a process for you, you must keep it in mind, and when you go to post news, don't let anyone see you. ”

Gong He nodded to indicate that he remembered, and then asked, "Yang Shuai, when will we be able to hit Youzhou?"

Yang Zhi said calmly: "I don't know, what I do know is that even if Song Jin really signs the agreement, he will continue to fight." As for the form in which the fight will continue, to be honest, I can't guess, so I have made arrangements in advance; you are not alone in going to Hebei this time, and I hope that you will play a decisive role in the future. ”

Gong He smiled and said, "Then I only hope that Yang Shuai will not leave the army." ”

Yang Zhi shook his head and said: "I can't guarantee you, but I hope you will avoid the mistakes of your predecessors, the imperial court also arranged for people to lurk in the Western Xia, but with the replacement of generals and directors, those people became kites with broken strings, and as a result, a lot of unexpected things happened in the territory of Western Xia, they were hunted and killed by the officials and soldiers of Western Xia, and their own people clashed, and no useful information was delivered for twenty years." This time they helped seize four states including Suizhou, but in my eyes, this is far from proportional to the effort. ”

Gong He stood opposite Yang Zhi, very surprised that Yang Zhi did not have any expression on his face, it seemed that Yang Zhi was used to such pain; Gong He said cautiously: "I know, Master Zhu told the story of Meng Yue and Chao Gai, and also told me that there are many ways to develop my downline. And according to our current preparations, even if something happens to me, the big loss is the contact point prepared for me. ”

Yang Zhi's eyes flickered, and then returned to normal, Zhu Liang really invested in this little guy, you must know that Zhu Liang's days in the Liao Kingdom are no less than Meng Yue's, if he gives it to him, Gong He will learn no less. Yang Zhi said: "You can't take chances, you must know that the longer the time, the more likely it is that many things will intersect, and the people at the contact point may have experienced various stories and know many secrets that have nothing to do with you." You need to be generous in front of everyone, but only you know what you know, don't look for false feelings near the contact point, then you are probably not the only one who will ruin it. ”

Gong He frowned and said, "Yang Shuai seems to be very worried about Youzhou?"

Yang Zhi said unabashedly: "Of course, is it true that the monk knows? Li Shining's disciple, as far as I know, he is still alive, and the Jin people have ruined his future, but it seems that his martial arts cultivation has not been ruined. Yes, the monk once arranged thousands of people to lurk in the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom, and now even if he will not die to help the Jin people, but under the eaves of people, for the sake of those under him, I guess he will always have to do something. Yes, the monk hates the Dingbei Army the most, and once he makes a move, he will never give up halfway. ”

Gong He's face was a little dazed: "You and Master Zhu both think so, isn't it true that the monk is more powerful than Yang Shuai?"

Yang Zhi straightened his waist and said, "His martial arts may not be as good as mine, but he is not worse than me in other aspects, especially his current mentality is better than mine." ”

"Mentality?" Gong He looked at Yang Zhi with some hesitation, and then understood, yes, the monk has no hope in the officialdom of the Jin Kingdom, and it is impossible to do a great job in the Great Song Dynasty, I am afraid that now all the selfish distractions have been put down; Gong He pondered for a moment and said, "Yang Shuai, in fact, these days, I've been thinking about why you and Master Zhu don't pick some martial arts masters. ”

Yang Zhi laughed: "I haven't considered assassination, your task is to lurk, maybe a piece of information about the future war will be worth many years of hardship." After all, Meng Yue and the others have taken Suizhou and other places, which can be regarded as a reward, and I hope to see you in Youzhou City in the future. ”

Gong He laughed: "Yang Shuai, don't worry, since you entrust me with these things, I will definitely not let you down." ”

Yang Zhi stood up, patted Gong He's shoulder and said, "Go to bed early, I won't meet you later, in a few days, you can resign and leave by yourself." ”

"The last general understands, congratulations to Yang Shuai. Gong He was already satisfied, before leaving, Yang Zhi came to see himself in person, it was not a whim, but he was really optimistic about himself, and for the future, Gong He had confidence.
