Ren Chunzhong breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I know a little bit of the situation, the person who sent the letter is a commander in Wu Jue's army, and the military uniform can be worn indiscriminately, but the waist card will not go wrong, and my uncle will look at the waist card when he verifies the news." ”

Yang Zhi had some doubts in his heart, such a secret Ren Chunzhong could not tell it at all, and he also had no way at all, but Ren Chunzhong just said it thoroughly; Yang Zhi knew that he did not have any character that made people feel like a spring breeze, and he did not believe that Ren Chunzhong would be reversed in a short period of time because of his identity. Yang Zhi smiled and said: "Brother Ren, since you and I are honest, I will tell you the truth, your straightforwardness is really unimaginable to me." ”

Ren Chunzhong's face was slightly red, to be honest, he himself felt unbelievable; Ren Chunzhong was also regarded as the number one person in Western Xia, and some words were really unspeakable, Ren Chunzhong said after a long time: "Last year, our two sides ended the war, and it can be regarded as peaceful, but because the Western Xia war relied on the spoils of war to replenish supplies, but this time even Youzhou and Wuyuan County were lost, and there was no innocent salt pond, and half of the trade taxes were lost, and the Western Xia could not make up for this gap at all." ”

Ren Chunzhong shook his head as he spoke, as if he was lamenting that the luck of the Western Xia was so bad; Yang Zhi naturally knew this situation, otherwise he would not have suggested to Zhao Kai that he should defeat the Western Xia economically, Yang Zhi said thoughtfully: "So, the contact between the two sides was accidentally generated in trade?"

"It should be. Ren Chunzhong nodded and said: "I have never heard of the specific situation, but in front of Xixia is a bottomless hole, as long as there is something, I want to fill it underneath, and I can't take care of other things; ”

Yang Zhi looked at Ren Chunzhong with a smile and said, "That was when Ma Shen came to Taiyuan from Runzhou, so that's the case." ”

Presumably, at that time, there were already people in Taiyuan who had contact with Ren Dejing, and Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, wanted to attract Western Xia to war, Ma Shen and himself were just two versions of the same plan; Yang Zhi's heart was slightly lost, including himself, even if he was not the kind of vicious person, everyone who embarked on this road became more and more distrustful of others. It is precisely because of this that he was able to escape one level after another, especially this time, he was lucky enough to get Lingzhou and Xiazhou.

"That's all I know, is it enough?" Ren Chunzhong looked at Yang Zhi and asked, Yang Zhi laughed, "Enough, enough." Brother Ren, in your impression, is there still a lot of clues to be found in such a thing? In fact, as long as you don't want to cause any trouble, in the big framework, it is enough to get these. ”

Ren Chunzhong laughed embarrassedly, to be honest, he was still worried that Yang Zhi would ask some questions about the privacy of the Ren family, but he didn't expect Yang Zhi to just talk about things; Ren Chunzhong said sincerely: "Yang Shuai, I envy you. ”

Yang Zhi smiled and said: "Brother Ren, that's because you defected to Western Xia, although you have to be a high-ranking official, but deep down in your heart, you still regard yourself as a person from the Central Plains, so you hate strife, and you also hate those undercover agents, in fact, you still have a chance, you can consider returning to the Great Song Dynasty." ”

Listening to Yang Zhi's words, Ren Chunzhong was slightly shocked, he knew that Yang Zhi had seen through himself, even if Yang Zhi's ambiguous sentence was just rooted in his weakness. Ren Chunzhong smiled bitterly: "Will anyone still believe me?"

Yang Zhi did not answer positively: "We have rules and regulations in everything in the Dingbei Army, we can't talk about believing it or not, as long as you come back sincerely, you will definitely be recognized by everyone; you don't need to have too much baggage in this regard, I don't expect to get any valuable information from you." But I can assure you that if you want to stay anonymous, I have what it takes to help you. ”k

"Understood. Ren Chunzhong nodded at Yang Zhi gratefully, to be honest, what he was most worried about was that Yang Zhi would not forgive, Yang Zhi was so understanding, but it made Ren Chunzhong a little embarrassed. Yang Zhi smiled and said to Ren Chunzhong: "Brother Ren, if you really have an idea, send a letter over, and I will help you arrange everything." ”

After coming out of the prison cell, Yang Zhi returned to his office room, which was overcrowded, and Cao Qianli, Li Guang, Qu Duan, and Liu Ziyu were sitting in their respective positions on the left and right, leaving only the chair in the middle of the room. Yang Zhi sat down on the chair in the middle without hesitation and asked, "Why haven't you gone back?"

Cao Qianli looked at Yang Zhi and asked, "What did Ren Chunzhong say?"

"This time our luck is not bad or good, it is confirmed that someone has contacted Western Xia, but Ren Chunzhong does not know the details. Yang Zhi said helplessly: "I decided to turn this matter over, Liu Ziyu, let me ask you, do you need to transfer Wu Lu to other places?"

Liu Ziyu said with a smile: "Yang Shuai, you are embarrassing me, you should have an idea in your heart." ”

"Tell me, what have you discovered?" Yang Zhi asked seemingly casually, Cao Qianli was slightly stunned, but suddenly it became clear that Yang Zhi was just trying to get an argument from Liu Ziyu. Liu Ziyu nodded and said: "There is no problem with Wu Jue's loyalty, the root of this matter is in Taiyuan, and he does not dare to oppose it as Wu Jue; this choice is right, if he does not agree, he may cause more trouble." ”

Li Guang's breathing suddenly became short, his face was full of incredulity, Liu Ziyu's identity was different from most of the generals under Yang Zhi, if Liu Ziyu thought that Taiyuan was a ghost, it would not be too far from the truth. Yang Zhi nodded and said, "I think so too, it's just Quduan, you have to prevent Xiazhou and Jingzhou from merging." ”

Qu Duan swallowed a mouthful of saliva nervously, took a deep breath and said, "Don't worry, big brother, I won't let those people succeed." ”

Yang Zhi smiled and said: "Don't say it so ugly, everything is based on King Yun's decision, Lord Cao, Lord Li, you see that this is feasible." ”

Cao Qianli and Li Guang couldn't laugh or cry, Yang Zhi didn't really need the two of them to make any ideas when he asked this, Yang Zhi just asked them to tell King Yun the whole process, hinting that King Yun should not do anything more; Cao Qianli shrugged his shoulders and asked Yang Zhi: "How did you find out that He Ji was wrong?"

Yang Zhi spread his hands and said: "That's luck, He Ji has practiced martial arts, under normal circumstances, his heartbeat is long, and there must be a reason for the sudden change; ”

Yang Zhi's answer was reasonable, there was nothing magical, Cao Qianli returned to the post house and immediately wrote an official document and asked the fast horse to send it to Taiyuan.
