Walking out of the Marshal's Mansion, Yang Zhi was about to return to the post station, when Cao Qianli grabbed him and said, "Follow me to a place." ”

The two have been friends for several years, Yang Zhi followed Cao Qianli to a warehouse in the north of Taiyuan City without the slightest suspicion, Yang Zhi felt that this warehouse was a little strange at first sight, and when he walked in, he found that it was actually a place where soldiers were stationed, and there were fifty soldiers in the entire warehouse, and the guards were ten thunderbolt cannons. The level of firearms in the Great Song Dynasty is not bad, and the Thunderbolt Cannon is the most elite firearm in the Great Song Dynasty at present, but Yang Zhi didn't expect that after the defeat of the Huguan Army, Taiyuan still has this thing.

Cao Qianli introduced an officer led by Yang Zhi: "Yang Zhi, this is the thunder Lingzhen, these fifty soldiers are all sergeants trained in Taiyuan, after the thunderbolt cannon of Huguan blew up their own city pass, Wang Yu and Sun Yuan did not dare to use this cannon." This batch of cannons was brought by Tong Guan, and the gunpowder was supplied by Bianliang, and it was all used up when the guns were tested, so you can see if you can use it. ”

Yang Zhi knew that the accident in Huguan was mismanagement and was exploited by the other party, but it was no problem for himself, and immediately said: "I even want people to bring cannons, and when the gunpowder arrives in Jincheng, I will arrange the configuration." Do you want to say hello to the marshal, Zhang Xiaochun, and Wang Yu?"

"No, I don't. Cao Qianli said with great certainty: "Wang Yu and the marshal have said that they will exchange a thousand war horses with you." ”

Wang Yu is lion opened his mouth, and Cao Qianli was not sure whether Yang Zhi would agree, Yang Zhi immediately agreed: "No problem, a thousand Western Xia war horses, I will all match them with saddles, you ask Wang Yu to send someone to send the thunderbolt cannon to Jincheng, and then transport the war horse back." Ling Zhen, take care of the cannons on the road, if the ten cannons can really be used when you get to Jincheng, I will appoint you as the deputy envoy of the armor warehouse. ”

Ling Zhen was overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked Yang Zhi and said, "Don't worry, the manager, I turned out to be a specialist in making thunderbolt cannons, and there will be no problem." ”

The next day, Yang Zhi said goodbye to Zhao Kai and returned to Jincheng with Yuan Chun and others; Wang Yu heard that Yang Zhi had given a thousand horses, and he moved quickly, and Ling Zhen and others were transporting thunderbolt cannons, and they arrived only six days later than Yang Zhi. Wang Yu's son Wang Xun came to hand over the handover, a few years older than Yang Zhi, and Yang Zhi transferred all the Western Xia war horses and thanked him; Wang Yu's expansion in Taiyuan was difficult, Zhang Xiaochun's financial difficulties, and the war horse was hard to find, and it was definitely a good deal to exchange ten waste cannons for a thousand Western Xia war horses.

With Ling Zhen's familiar hands, gunpowder was ready-made, but the thunderbolt cannon was successfully tested in Jincheng in five days, Yang Zhi simply expanded Ling Zhen's subordinates to 100 people, plus the supporting transport vehicles and coachmen, and incorporated them into Wei Dingguo's army; and asked Bei Songlin to follow Ling Zhen to draw drawings and prepare to make thunderbolts in his own workshop, Bei Songlin finally saw a new thing, and he was more energetic than anyone else.

Kou Yi and Shi Qian have already sent news that Dong Cai, that is, a good monk, followed Wanyan Zongfu's army to the south, and in Xiangzhou, a good monk showed his skills, injured Li Yuweng, the owner of Xuanyu Villa, killed Wei Wuchi, the owner of Pegasus Qianzhuang, and annexed Pegasus Qianzhuang. Wang Ming, the richest man in Tangyin, died of illness, and the porcelain merchant Yin Jiaqin had already been killed by Yang Zhi, and the Anyang League collapsed all of a sudden, Shi Qian said slowly: "Yes, the monk did not disturb Wangjiazhuang, but a fire burned Xuanyu Villa, and Li Yuweng's whereabouts are unknown." ”

Yan Yundian and Yang Zhi actually thought about controlling the Anyang League in their own hands, but they didn't succeed, the reason is that there is no good monk so messy, Yang Zhi said: "The purpose of the good monk is wealth and the heart of Xiangzhou's struggle, Yue Fei, Wang Gui and others' families have moved to Taiyuan, and Wang Ming's property is also placed in Pegasus Qianzhuang, so the monk will not continue to toss." Did Li Shining show up?"

"No, but there are more than two dozen carriages in the Jin army, and we dare not approach it, we can't confirm it. Shi Qian was telling the truth, Yang Zhi had already instructed that they would not provoke Li Shining's master and apprentice; Yang Zhi nodded and said, "Just keep an eye on it, I have already informed the Shenxiao faction, and the people from the Shenxiao faction who have passed the Yellow River will take over." Don't expose it, and don't contact the people of the Shenxiao faction, the Jin army is likely to implement the dragnet tactics in Henan, either you will advance to Bianliang City, or you will hide far away, I just want to know what their master and apprentice are going to do. ”

Shi Qian agreed and went down to rest, but Yang Zhi had to think about what he should do if he knew Li Shining's purpose? Li Shining was almost 90 years old, his martial arts had reached the immortal body, and he had disciples like the Wanyan family and a good monk, which could be said to be full of peach and plums; as for the gold and silver treasures, with the current posture of the Jin Kingdom, Li Shining did not want as many as he wanted. According to Yang Zhi's estimate, the only thing that can attract Li Shining now is the dragon knife and the fortune of the world.

In fact, according to the legend of the dragon knife, this knife itself is associated with wealth and fortune, but this is also a good opportunity to deal with Li Shining, Yang Zhi has the intention of letting Gongsun Sheng lead the team to meet Kou Yi, but he is worried that the two will really find something and be vulnerable in front of Li Shining.

Wang Laozhi obviously expected that Yang Zhi would come to beg him, so he simply wandered around, making it clear that he didn't want to care, Yang Zhi could only smile bitterly alone, and until it was time to have dinner, Yang Zhi didn't have any good ideas. A bowl of braised pork and a tofu soup on the table, Yang Zhi has no habit of drinking; the fourth sister couldn't help but laugh in her heart when she saw Yang Zhi so helpless, Yang Zhi was also worried, and at this time there was a bit of a taste of fireworks in the world.

Yang Zhi had no intention of doing business, the two went back to the room early after dinner, and the fourth sister asked Yang Zhi to lie on the bed and massage the acupuncture points on Yang Zhi's head, Yang Zhi closed his eyes and enjoyed the smooth and gentle fingers of the fourth sister, from his head to his cheeks, and asked casually: "What is the price of rice and vegetables now?"

The fourth sister said softly: "The price of rice has risen a lot, Jincheng has risen by forty percent, many scholars and rich people in Hebei have gone to Yunzhong, they don't want to stay in the cottage, Jincheng doesn't even have an empty house now, and the houses on the edge of our workshop are rented to others." Lao Qi said that this is also the case in Taiyuan. ”

The seventh is Mi Youren, Mi Youren arrived in Hedong, just hung up a false position, wandering around all day, yesterday in Taiyuan, today in Jincheng, tomorrow in Taihang Mountain. Zhao Kai and Yang Zhi are too lazy to care about him, the old Mi family is a generation of generals, only from the beginning of Mi Fu to be regarded as a literati, Mi Youren himself is actually skilled in bow and horse, just like to pretend to be a literati, not to mention Lu Defu's younger brother a sword cold star Lu Dafu is with Mi Youren most of the time, there is no danger.

Yang Zhi sighed and said, "I thought it would be easier to rob the land of the Eight Pavilions, but I didn't expect it to be like this, let's all boil it." ”
