Especially in the current situation, under the internal and external troubles, Zhang Shen's control over the following is probably lower, Yang Zhi suggested starting with the generals under Zhang Shen, one by one to persuade, that is, one hand with a big stick and one hand carrot, those who follow me prosper and those who oppose me die. Yang Zhi repeatedly stated that only by taking Dunyan Road could he finally follow Fan Zhongyan and Chong Ge's original assumptions, and Dunyan Road and Hedong Road would join forces to capture Xiazhou.

Under the pressure of Zong Ze, Yang Zhi said his plan: "A series of fiascos in Yaogu in Hedong have brought an unexpected effect, that is, the rich people can't escape from Guanzhong, and they all flee to Taiyuan, impacting the original merchants in Taiyuan;

The ordnance of the two money houses was originally specially supplied to Shaanxi Wulu and Hedong, but now the ordnance workshop is short of iron, as long as we are stuck in the foreign transport, the materials on the Yanyan Road will be in short supply, no matter what Zhang Shen thinks, his people will definitely not be willing. We passed the word through Qianzhuang, and if we don't belong to Taiyuan, there will be no materials, and I believe that there are always people in Yan Yan who understand and know that the so-called future is worthless in front of the people and their lives.

In Zhe Keqiu, he is transporting his family and materials to Guanzhong, and there is basically no possibility of cooperating with the Dingbei Army, Fuqi Road is one with the Jinning Army in another sense, and every walled fort is a place outside the law that cannot be touched by the laws of the Great Song Dynasty; in this case, if they know that the Zhe family is transferring materials, how many people will believe that the Zhe family is their backer?"

Seeing that Yang Zhi said fiercely, in fact, it was still a bloodless practice, Zong Ze took a reassuring pill, but Zong Ze's mood was still not high, thinking about it unwillingly, he still asked another question: "What should I do in Hebei?"

Yang Zhi wanted to remind Zong Ze that Taiyuan was not Bianliang, and the Dingbei Army was at most the nature of the rebel army, so he couldn't worry about it at all, but looking at Zong Ze's gray hair, Yang Zhi couldn't bear it, and thought about it for a while and said: "Since Liang Xun led Tokyo to stay behind, it is better to let him stay in Xingzhou temporarily, and let Wang Shan and Yang Jin fight guerrillas in Hebei to expand their influence." ”

Zong Ze immediately understood, what to expand the influence, is to ask the two of them to fight wherever they go like rogues, so that they can hide and seek with the Jin people to grab supplies, if the Jin people want to defeat the two, it is not so easy, if the enemy is too strong, go back to Xingzhou to avoid the limelight. The wider the scope of Yang Jin's guerrilla attack, the stronger the sense of existence of the Dingbei Army. But this is too easy to be criticized, Zong Ze was a little unwilling, slapped the table and said: "Think about it, it's our land, we still have to compromise like this." ”

Yang Zhi smiled and comforted: "Zong Shuai, Han Xin has the humiliation of his crotch, what are we, listen to me, Jin Guo is the last madness, we just avoid its edge, survive this year, we will be able to wrestle with Jin Ren." ”

"One year, can you talk about it?" Zong Ze was also very depressed during this time, hearing Yang Zhi say this, he suddenly came to the heart; Yang Zhi could only secretly complain that he was the fastest, but the idea in his heart still needs Zong Ze's support, it doesn't matter if he says it, Yang Zhi reasoned and said: "The battle of Tongguan and the battle of Bianliang will determine the fate of the Great Song Dynasty, if the Jin State fails, we can naturally take advantage of the north to forcibly capture Hebei and Yanyun, and even annihilate part of the main force of the Jin army." However, if the Great Song Dynasty fails, as long as we defeat the Western Xia, we can take the opportunity to occupy Luoyang. ”

"Luoyang. Zong Ze was once again shocked by Yang Zhi's train of thought, Luoyang is the Great Song Xijing, if it is in the hands of the Dingbei Army, the one in Bianliang is not crazy. Zong Ze made up the map and understood that even if Wanyan Gao defeated Qian Gai, as long as the Western Xia failed, he would not enter Guanzhong alone, but would capture all the territory west of Bianliang, and the only thing that the Dingbei Army could capture was the cities around Luoyang.

Zong Ze stood up and walked back and forth twice, and made up his mind and said: "Why don't you let Yang Jin and Wang Shan kill into Heluo, the people there will definitely not succumb to the power of the Jin people, and they can take advantage of the people's hearts; ”

Once Zong Ze calmed down, he was still very sensible, and immediately saw the uncertainty in Yang Zhi's plan, and lowered the goal, which coincided with Yang Zhi's original idea; Yang Zhi looked at Zong Ze and smiled, and said in a low voice: "The cities of Yingzhou and Ruzhou are not bad. ”

Yingzhou and Ruzhou are both big cities in the Heluo area, Yingzhou is the government of Yingchang Mansion, Ruzhou is the county of the army and navy, and its influence in Henan is a little smaller than that of Luoyang, but it is suitable for war, Zong Ze pondered carefully for a while and said: "This matter is very important, let's go to see King Yun together." ”

The two ran to the backyard, the backyard was preparing a banquet, Zhao Kai naturally had no opinion after listening to the statements of the two, he knew that Zong Ze and Yang Zhi were cautious people, and the strategic results they said were often the smallest, and in fact they might have greater gains; Zhao Kai thought about it, and still felt that he had to divide the labor between the two, and said in a deep voice: "You each plan your own plans, the affairs of Western Xia will be handed over to Yang Zhi, and the affairs of Henan will be taken care of by Zong Ze." Wait for Zhang Xiaochun and they are coming, just have a meal together. ”

Zhao Kai didn't say why he was eating, the two didn't ask, and after a while, the guests arrived one after another, it turned out that Zhao Kai also called Cao Qianli, Li Xiaoming, Guo Yan, the owner of Huiji Qianzhuang and Yuan Chun, the big shopkeeper of Jiuliu Qianzhuang, Guo Yan and Yingchuan County Wang Yimai are relatives, and the distant cousin of Zhao Chengjie in Xijing Workshop;

The Yuan family is a royal family of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and when he arrived in the Great Song Dynasty, he was a big businessman, and the head of the family, Yuan Qi, now went to Huanqing Road, and he could only come forward on behalf of Yuan Chun. The business of the two families is highly overlapping, from the money village to the ordnance business are all opponents, too much money can't be transferred in Taiyuan, Zhao Kai just wants to see if Yang Zhi has any way. Yuan Chun knew his identity, and he couldn't stand up in front of Zhao Kai like Guo Yan, not only brought gifts to Zhao Kai, Yang Zhi and others, but also specially invited four singers to cheer up, led by the most popular musk moon girl in Taiyuan.

Yuan Chun understood that Zhao Kai and Yang Zhi were not the masters who were short of money, so the gifts were only Yanzhou's native red dates and tribute rice, Yang Zhi saw that Zhao Kai was not the slightest displeased, and knew that Yuan Chun's actions were allowed by Zhao Kai, and said to Yuan Chun with a smile: "Yuan shopkeeper, it's a bad deal, but it's a pity that Yanzhou is not in our Dingbei Army's territory now, otherwise you can eat red dates and millet every day, and you don't need to worry so much about Yuan Shopkeeper." ”
