"It has been more than half a year, which is why we decided to defend Xiping, so Ren Dejing found an opportunity in Xiazhou. Xiao Heda had been on the battlefield for a long time and guessed Yang Zhi's intentions: "The general manager wants our army to hold on?" It's just that I'm curious, what can we do if we hold out for half a year?"

Yang Zhi understood, Yelu Yujian's mutiny changed the balance of all parties, one was that the Western Xia army gathered again, and the other was that Yelu Yujian saw the situation of the Dingbei army occupying the Hetao, and began to lack confidence, and gathered tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians who did not dare to fight, and did not want to go north to Heishui City to join Yelu Dashi, so he could only stay between the Hetao and the Western Xia. Xiao Heda and Han Funu are here to see if they can enter the area of the Dingbei Army.

Yang Zhi didn't want Yelu Yu to gamble, if Yelu Yu didn't dare to be the king in the grassland, there was only one reason, that is, Yelu Yu was no longer the heroic hero, and he wanted to gamble more and make some money before leaving. Yang Zhi was afraid that once Yelu Yu was safe, he would think of gambling with someone again, but Zhao Kai couldn't afford to lose, and Yang Zhi himself couldn't afford to lose. Yang Zhi decided that Yelu Yujian would stay on the grassland, it was best in Xiping, it was convenient for both sides, Yang Zhi would never be stingy if he could provide a little material, and he still understood the reason why he bought horse bones.

Yang Zhi smiled and said, "I have three strategies for the generals to choose." The next strategy is to deceive and survive, and the new emperor of the Western Xia ascends the throne, is it possible that the Western Xia will be satisfied with all the ethnic groups from the magnates? This is an impossible thing, some people among the magnates want to maintain the power in their hands, and some people want to reshuffle the cards; and every game of the magnates will affect all the ethnic groups in the Western Xia, and perhaps within half a year, someone will raise an army, which will become a turning point for you. The middle strategy is that you give up Xiping Mansion, and the whole army crosses the desert to the Heishui River, and joins Yelu Dashi, but there are no two masters in the country, and I don't know if Yelu Yujian and Yelu Dashi can get along. ”

You can try the next and middle strategies, Xiao Heda expected that the next strategy would be more exciting, and he couldn't wait, and a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes and asked, "What about the best strategy?"

Yang Zhi said with a smile: "The best strategy is naturally to defeat Ren Dejing, you have the Tiande Army and Jinsu Prefecture as the depth, now we have captured Pingzhou, Heqing Army, Hanoi Prefecture, there is no need to worry about the back road for a while, you can try to fight a decisive battle with the Dingyan Army, Han Funu, you are familiar with Han History, you should know Tiandan's fire ox array, Xiping Mansion is not short of cattle and sharp knives, if you are not defeated, and then pour water on the wall, it will soon be winter, and you can freeze and seal the city." ”

Han Funu and Xiao Heda understood that Yang Zhi's strategy was feasible, at least they could fight a battle by surprise, and if they couldn't, they could support the spring next year by relying on the weather. It's just that the details of the two of them asked about the Fire Bull Formation stumped Yang Zhi, the original blue-faced beast Yang Zhi relied on the Jinshi in the martial arts, and he didn't have much research on this famous battle example in history;

Yang Zhixi took Sizhou to open up the green salt road, which made Zhao Kai very happy, he was not a rookie, and naturally knew that Yang Zhi handed over the glass workshop to Cao Qianli, which was still not enough for Taiyuan, but the green salt in Yanzhou could be shipped out, and he could make up for his own expenses to a large extent. Now Hebei is in a mess, it is impossible for Bianliang to transport the salt of Xiuzhou and Jiezhou to Hebei, and the trade route between Xixia and Jin is equivalent to cutting off Yang Zhi, not to mention Hebei, I am afraid that Youzhou and Bohai are short of salt, and as long as the salt of Yanzhou is transported to Yunzhong Hedong, it will not worry about sales.

Zhao Kai handed Yang Zhi's letter to his subordinates to read, and Zhang Xiaochun said with palpitations: "It's too risky, Yang Zhi is too risky, if the Jin army goes south to capture Yingzhou, it will be all over." "Wen Ting Pavilion

Zong Ze said with a smile: "If that happens, Yang Zhi will attack the three states outside the river, unite with the Jinning army to directly defeat Xiazhou, and connect with Taiyuan all the way from the Jinning army." Otherwise, why did he go to the Volcano Army to meet him personally, he was not in a hurry to take down Xiazhou now, but the situation had not yet reached that point, and he didn't want to attract the attention of the Western Xia people, so it was recommended to solve the three states outside the river first. ”

The pacification of the Jinning army frightened Xu Huiyan, he was the brother-in-law of Zhe Keqiu, at that time, Zhe Keqiu was defeated and asked the court for help, and Xie Qian, the deputy envoy of the system, sent Xu Huiyan to take charge of the Jinning army, Lanzhou, and Shizhou along the border to reinforce Qizhou. In addition to gathering the armies of the three places, Xu Huiyan also recruited brave soldiers, established a team of 16,000 people, and stationed in Jinning Army, Lanzhou, and Shizhou with Sun Ang, the capital of soldiers and horses on Taiyuan Road, and then defected to Zhao Kai with Sun Ang.

Sun Ang and Xu Huiyan are good friends, and they know that if Yang Zhi directly takes Fengzhou and Qizhou, Xu Huiyan will not be able to explain when he goes home; Sun Ang took the lead and said: "The reason why Yang Zhi is confident is because Qizhou was originally the foundation of the Yang family, and the reason why Yang Zhi is confident can be seen from Yang Jin, Yang Yue and others joining the Canglang Camp one after another. It's just that you can't kill each other now, can you ask Yang Zhi to take Xiazhou first?"

Seed Master Min Jiu was in the northwest, and he also had some friendship with the Zhe family, so he asked in a deep voice: "Sect Chief, can you lay down Datong first?"

Zong Ze glanced at Xu Huiyan and said: "There is not much hope for these two things, Yang Zhi is trapped by the lack of troops, relying on surprise, whether it is Xiazhou or Datong, the troops are more than tens of thousands, far more than Yang Zhi's men." Our question is what will we do if Qizhou is attacked by Western Xia?"

Zong Ze and Yang Zhi have the same opinion, as long as Wanyan Zongfu hits Bianliang City again, Song Qinzong and those people will repeat the previous version nine times out of ten, and then take out some Great Song Dynasty territory and beg the Jin people to withdraw their troops, but they don't know that this is to weaken themselves a little bit and add a handful of soil to their graves. Now what Taiyuan wants to do is to expand, but it is hindered by people like Xu Huiyan, and Yang Zhi can't let go of his hands and feet.

If the Zhejia family refuses to be attached, once Yang Zhi said, Qizhou will become a lonely land, and when the Western Xia army attacks, it will become unpredictable whether Taiyuan will come to the rescue; without reinforcements, once the Western Xia army occupies Qizhou and Fuzhou, the threat to Taiyuan will be too great. Yang Zhi will definitely control the northern part of Volcano Prefecture and expand his troops, so cutting off the remote territory of Fengzhou is undoubtedly the easiest thing.

Xu Huiyan knew that such a thing could not be a joke, the so-called Jinning Army in charge of his own control, in fact, was the response of Qizhou, when Tong Guan presided over the northwest, the Song army regained Jialu Village again, and successively built Taihe, Shenquan, Tongqin, Michuan, Jingchuan and other villages, thus establishing the Jinning Army and governing Jialu Village. Without the support of the Jinning Army, half of the strength of the three states outside the river was lost, and once the three states outside the river were lost, the Jinning army would be unable to support it alone; Xu Huiyan said seriously: "The last general is willing to defend the Jinning army to the death." ”
