Xu Jingheng arranged the banquet very carefully, the decorations, lighting, wine and food all had the taste of restoring the atmosphere of the past, Lu Yihao himself looked a little proud, and the guests who came were also very happy, especially many people who were not qualified to attend such an occasion, they were even more happy and interested. Lu Yihao personally greeted Li Gang, Hu Yin, and others at the door, and after Li Gang's request, Runzhou still appointed 14 officials to come to Bianliang to work alone in the original Zhongshu Province to assist Yang Zhi in preparing for war; although these people could not take care of specific matters, their contacts with Runzhou and Chuzhou were in the hands of these people.

Hu Shunzhi, Hu Tanglao, Yao Shunming, and Wang Yu have just come from Chuzhou, and like Chen Dong, they were sent by King Kang to join, and even when the mountains and rivers were broken, the prime ministers still liked the game of checks and balances; Li Gang looked at Lu Yihao's ridiculous gaze, and smiled apologetically, he was willing to ensure that the Dingbei Army did not play tricks, who knew that it would become like this, fortunately, the personalities of Hu Shunzhi and others were not bad, and Li Gang believed that there would be no leaks.

In the Dingbei Army, in addition to Lu Yihao, Lu Yi, Xu Jingheng, Li Yanxian, Shao Xing, Yang Zhongwu and others all attended the banquet, which made Li Gang secretly suspicious, he was familiar with the officials of the Dingbei Army, Liang Xun and Yang Yizhong did not attend, which was the biggest problem. These two people are the representatives of the Dingbei Army in Bianliang Wenwu, and on occasions like this, there is no special reason and should not be absent.

Yang Zhi finally walked into the banquet hall, accompanied by Zhao Shixuan, the clan who had just fled back to Bianliang, and when he saw the two of them coming in, the people of the Dingbei Army applauded, which quickly infected all the people, and the applause was like thunder for a while;

Accompanied by loud laughter and applause in the hall, Yang Zhi smiled and said: "I think the soul of a city lies in culture, buildings and city walls are the flesh and blood skeleton of the city, and the unique culture is the indispensable soul. What I want to say is that what has happened is a gift from God, whether it is bitter or difficult, it is a gift;

I think that we should accept the challenge, and now, our Dingbei Army is preparing to meet the challenge, and the people who are currently staying in Bianliang should be reluctant to live for this place, willing to die for this place, willing to be reborn in the flames for the sake of the Holy Lord and the Great Song Dynasty, and for the people of the Central Plains.

Of course, in front of the same present, everyone sees from a different angle, like me, what is important now is time and food, and I want to prepare for the battle before the arrival of the Jin army; I don't know if it will hurt everyone in the future, so I invite everyone to gather in advance. I'll put it in front, if one day, you can't stand it, even if you go to the door of the left-behind division to complain, as long as you can keep Bianliang, even if everyone scolds me, I like it, thank you for coming. ”

Yang Zhi's style of speaking was completely the style of hundreds of years later, which made the people in the banquet hall refreshed, and the laughter broke out into warm applause again, Hu Yin nodded in the crowd and said: "I didn't expect Yang Zhi to be able to speak so well, and now he really looks like a civil official." ”

Li Gang said with a smile: "Yang Zhi is not able to speak, and can do, when he established Hezhong Road, he also gave a famous speech in Puzhou, explaining the significance of why to build a big Puzhou, in this regard, he is really different from many people, then his methods of reversing adversity and defending Bianliang will also be different from others." I believe that soon if he stays at the gate of the division, there will be countless people who will come to scold him, such as Lord Chen Dongchen. ”

The people around laughed, Chen Dong had scolded almost all the high-ranking officials in charge in Bianliang, and he would never miss Yang Zhi; Chen Dong looked at Li Gang angrily and asked, "What do you think Yang Zhi will do, I heard that another Caoyun ship has been detained." ”

Chen Dong was also involved in these things and knew that less than 30% of the materials transported from Jiangnan to Bianliang could reach Bianliang, and all of them were intercepted by the subordinates of King Kang Zhao Gou on the road; if it weren't for Li Gang and Zhao Ye's threat of cutting off Cao Yun, the materials that could reach Bianliang would probably be even less, and Chen Dong was a little gloating at the same time, he was also secretly worried in his heart, once or twice, it would be okay, and in the long run, it would shake the hearts of the people in Bianliang.

Li Gang knows the seriousness better, this kind of behavior is tantamount to a test of Yang Zhi's bottom line, if Yang Zhi does not refresh the bottom line he bears, then he will inevitably fight back; Yang Zhi has never been a person who succumbs to threats, and Zhao Kai has not released it until now is a living example, even if Zhao Ye of Runzhou has written a letter to him, Yang Zhi and Liang Xun's attitude is very resolute, Zhao Kai can't make up for this number, so he will be beheaded according to the military order. A trace of worry flashed on Li Gang's face and said, "I'm worried that Yang Zhi will make a big move soon." ”

Li Gang's subordinates were all Yu Marquis Liang Juewu squeezed over, Liang Juewu was an old man of the Imperial City Division, and was once one of the eight tiger generals under Yang Zhi, and now he was in charge of inquiring about the news in Bianliang; Liang Jiewu whispered: "Lord Li, the situation is not right, now that the city gate has been closed, Shi Mojie suddenly gathered a group of idle Imperial City Division personnel, about three or four hundred people, and the officials and troops of Kaifeng Mansion have begun to concentrate, which is a precursor to taking action. ”

Li Gang and the others were shocked in their hearts, there were originally more than 10,000 people in the Bianliang Imperial City Division, but after the Imperial City Division was abolished, most of them lost their jobs, and a small half of them were incorporated into the army or government service; the proportion of Shi Mojie gathering three or four hundred people was not large, and the question was what Shi Mojie was going to do. Several people looked up at Yang Zhi at the same time, and Yang Zhizheng and Zhao Shixuan were frowning.

Zhao Shihui is the great-grandson of Zhao Yunrang, according to the generation is the cousin of Song Huizong, the generation is noble; Zhao Shihui escaped on the way north, fled to Zhaozhou, first met a righteous army, and then went to Zhangsuo's army, this time Yang Zhi let Xiangzhou Zhao Shilong's army go south, Zhao Shihui happened to come back with him. The Battle of Bianliang is imminent, and Yang Zhi means to send Zhao Shihui to Runzhou or Hangzhou to live.

This time, there were too many people in the clan who were captured by the Jin army to go to the north, only five princes and five princesses survived, Zhao Shimo was able to escape from the Jin army is already a great luck, judging from Song Huizong's approval of Zhao Shi's matter, Zhao Shimo is likely to be crowned king. Zhao Shifu went to Runzhou to reunite at this time, which was a comfort to both Song Huizong and Zhao Shifu.
