Yang Zhi touched Manlu's head and said: "Reading is the most important thing, what does your father want you to follow me, for what, so that you can let your family and tribe live a good life in the future, the mountain chief of the academy is my friend, in addition to literacy, you have to think about a question there, what do you want to learn?"

Lu Shuqiu suddenly understood that his thoughts were clear to Yang Zhi, and smiled awkwardly: "Chief." ”

Yang Zhi said with a smile: "This is exactly what I want to explain, Man Lu is already twelve years old, he has not cultivated internal strength since he was a child, and he can basically say that he can only take the path of a foreign family in martial arts, so I think he can study and practice martial arts, and take the tribe on a smooth road in the future." Don't worry, I don't dare to take risks except for things like practicing qi, normal martial arts can still be taught. ”

"That's good. Basi Xuanling told me, no problem. Yang Zhi instructed Yang Yue in front of Lu Shuqiu: "Yang Yue, Huozhou can also recruit soldiers, and the families of those tribes can go to Wuzhou and Shuozhou to settle. In the clouds, the biggest advantage is that there are enough grasslands and fields, but there is a shortage of people. If we can build an army of forty or fifty thousand people, we can enter Western Xia or Youzhou and establish a region where all ethnic groups coexist. ”

Yang Zhi's words were recognized by Basi Xuanling and others, and there were already six or seven thousand people from tribes such as the B Room Department and the Basi Mother Department who defected to Yang Zhi, regardless of whether it was a single soldier or the entire tribe resettlement, Yang Zhi did a good job, and the nearby tribes who came to Jincheng to trade all knew that the government of Nanbeixing and Jincheng was the most fair in the clouds, and they never deceived them.

Wang Shougu and Fu Guxuan were the whole clan who came out of the Black Mountain with Cai Fu, and their sincerity was greater than that of Lu Shuqiu, and they didn't even have a temptation; Yang Zhi personally went to greet them halfway, and they were all kind words and comforts, promising to let them settle in Huozhou now, promising to arrange a good place for the two tribes in the future. The two tribes of Wang Shougu and Fuguxuan had six or seven thousand people, and together there were nearly eight thousand people who controlled the strings, and Yang Zhi told them not to enter the volcanic state for the time being, but to pretend to be nomads and wander in the north, waiting for an appropriate time to kill them.

Wang Shougu, who had been a Song dynasty and was familiar with the situation in the south, said with a smile: "The chief manager is trying to lure the Western Xia people to come and rob?"

Yang Zhi said with a smile: "Give it a try, my troops are so small, and now that the green salt has been transported out by me again, I always feel that the Xixia people will not give up, so we will limit it to five days, and you can repair it here." ”

Everyone laughed, the Tibetan people have always been the enemy of the party members, and naturally they knew that the party members would not be able to swallow this breath without suffering a heavy blow; so they agreed on a signal, each found a place to ambush, Yang Zhi returned to Huozhou to arrange, but for five more days, Yang Zhi saw that there was no battle report from Shuozhou and Yingzhou, and felt that he could still afford to wait.

Yang Zhi was fortunate that Li Gongliang, the chief general of the Western Xia Army, was still a little less prestige in this Western Xia army, and finally he couldn't survive the angry generals under his subordinates, and after learning that the Xingliao army had transported the green salt to Shuozhou, he decided to send five thousand horsemen to fight the side grass, to put it bluntly, he would make a fortune and leave. However, the Western Xia army roared and rushed to the volcanic state, seeing that the volcanic town was not fortified, and there were more than a dozen caravans on the grassland, although the people fled, but all the goods were scattered on the ground, and immediately relaxed their vigilance. Fast-eyed reading

The Western Xia army each sent 1,000 cavalry to block the Dingbei army of Henggu Village and Hushui Village, and the rest of the people directly dispersed and plundered; but before 1,000 Western Xia troops rushed into the volcanic town, it can be seen that different fireworks rose on the grassland, and when there was less than a stick of incense, the scouts found that there were six or seven thousand cavalry from three directions, but the scout's warning was still a step too slow, and hundreds of Western Xia troops were shot dead before they could get on their horses.

The other side not only came to besiege the Western Xia army, but a cavalry of 2,000 people went around to the southwest, cutting off the retreat of the Western Xia army at once; the Dingbei army of Henggu Village killed 3,000 strong cavalry, and formed a joint encirclement with the three-way cavalry. When the Western Xia army saw that the other side was twice as large as itself, and the cavalry coming was the cavalry of the Tibetan tribe, they knew that they had been fooled, and immediately forcibly broke through; it was a pity that the Western Xia army was divided into four teams, and each team was outnumbered and bitten to death by the other party.

The two sides only fought flesh and blood, and the defects of the Western Xia army after a long-distance attack were used by the opponent to the limit, first the two thousand cavalry scattered on the grassland were annihilated, and then the opponent squeezed the cavalry of Henggu Village and Huozhou. Yang Yizhong and Yang Zhi rushed separately in front of the army, Yang Yizhong rushed left and right, stabbed three Western Xia officers to death one after another, screaming and cheering; Yang Zhi nodded secretly, Yang Yizhong's martial arts were a little worse than Yue Fei, but they should be said to be similar to Han Shizhong.

The Western Xia army fought hard and retreated in the flanking attack, and less than 1,000 people escaped, but the Dingbei army annihilated 4,000 people and captured 2,000 war horses. There were 5,000 people in the tribe of Lu Shuqiu, and 2,500 people in control of the strings, and Yang Zhi suddenly increased the number of cavalry by 10,000 cavalry in the volcanic state; Yang Zhi saw three tribes, and the old and weak women and children of the tens of thousands of tribes followed, so he decided to build another three villages, Xiongyong, Juqi, and Xiazhen, and if the other tribes had people who came alone, they would be placed in temporary camps outside the volcanic town.

When Li Gongliang learned that Huozhou had suddenly become a place of more than 20,000 soldiers and civilians, he could only sigh that his years were unfavorable. The Dingbei Army relied on this hand, and built a foundation out of thin air in the Hetao, and the blank area of the volcanic state just crossed the Yellow River, the Kuye River, the Balwei River, and the Wuding River valley area, which was the garrison reclamation area of the past dynasties, and the purpose of the repeated battles in the Xia and Song dynasties here was to fight for traffic control, and now the control was in the hands of the Dingbei Army.

Yang Zhi is busy, and now he actually controls the land of the Eight Pavilions between the Tiande Army, Yunnei Prefecture, Volcano Prefecture, and Neihua Prefecture, which is the area where rice is produced in Hedong, which was originally owned by the Liao State, and now no one cares about it, Yang Zhi does not take any risks except for the three pavilions close to the Tiande Army and the Naturalization Prefecture, and the rest of the regions order the Dingbei Army, the Wangu Division, the Balhu Division, and the Tibetan Cai Clan to step up their harvesting, even if it is a destroyed field.

Han Funu specially rushed from Xiping Mansion, Ren Dejing really did not go north after Yang Zhi withdrew his troops, but went all out to attack Xiping Mansion with the reinforced Dingyan army, Yelu Yu saw that it was a little difficult to parry in this situation, and specially asked Han Funu to come to Yang Zhi to ask for advice. Yang Zhi smiled bitterly and said to Han Funu: "I'm not an immortal, how do I know what to do?"

Han Funu called a big man from outside the tent and introduced him to Yang Zhi: "This is General Xiao Heda, he is very curious, so he came with me to ask for advice in person." ”

Xiao Heda was burly, with a purple face, and at first glance he was a great general on the grassland, and saluted Yang Zhi: "General Yang's clever plan has made me reunite in Xiping Mansion, and now tens of thousands of people are gathered in Huozhou." Plotting things is in people, and things are in the sky, Xiao just wants to ask the general to give him another guidance, the general can rest assured, even if he fails in the end, Xiao and Marshal Yelu will not complain about the general. ”

Yang Zhi returned the salute and only asked: "How long can the food in Xiping City be supported?"
