With the withdrawal of Jin Wushu and Han Shizhong, the battle between Song and Jin ended, and the two sides were tied, and the Great Song Dynasty suffered a greater loss due to the destruction of Jincheng; Even if the officials in Taiyuan usually complained a lot about Yang Zhiyi's family, when they faced a crisis, they found that it was better when Yue Fei, Zhu Wu and others were in the clouds, at least they didn't need to worry about the battle situation.

Many people suggested that Xu Huiyan be replaced afterwards, and the reason was also very sufficient, this time there was a Jincheng defense line that consumed the strength of the Jin army, but Jincheng was destroyed, what should we do next time? Zhao Kai clearly rejected this suggestion, after Yang Zhi recovered Lingzhou and Xiazhou, he gained an irreplaceable position in Shaanxi, at this time, could it be that the generals under Yang Zhi were still allowed to return to the clouds, wouldn't it seem that Yang Zhi's family was indispensable, and let all his previous arrangements be in vain.

Zhao Kai's insistence made Min and Lu Yihao, who were in charge of the military, helpless, some things could not be put on the table, and the two could only suggest the reconstruction of Jincheng, and choose another good general to stick to; Zhao Kai knew this, and asked the seed master Min in private, and the candidates proposed by the seed master Min were Wu Jue and Li Qiong, these two people are talented, but they just need a chance to get ahead.

But Zhang Xiaochun and Xu Huiyan objected, the relationship between these two and Yang Zhi should be said to be good, Li Qiong left Shaanxi Yang Zhi did not move, let alone Wu Jue, even if Yang Zhi knew that Wu Jue made small moves, Yang Zhi still kept Wu Jie and reappointed him as the governor of Xiazhou. If such a person arrives in the clouds, he still extends his hand back to the clouds on behalf of Yang Zhi, but the two have no suitable candidates, and finally Zhao Kai decides to ask Yang Zhi for someone.

Cao Qianli received a letter from Zhao Kai and wanted to curse, after the loss of Jincheng, Yang Zhi's face was gloomy for several days, although there was nothing abnormal in official affairs, but he accelerated the speed of leaving Youzhou. Cao Qianli knew that Xu Huiyan did not do an authentic job in this matter, and used the method of shirking responsibility in advance, in such a situation, it was impossible to expect Yang Zhi to give another competent candidate.

After Tan Zhi's death, Tan Lingjiao served as a member of the Ministry of Rites, and still stayed by Zhao Kai's side to do things, and was regarded as a confidant of Zhao Kai; Tan Lingjiao was twenty-three or four years old, and he looked like a talent, and he saw Cao Qianli's hesitation, and whispered: "The prince still has an idea, that is, can you let Yang Shuai find a way to raise money to rebuild Jincheng." ”

Tan Lingjiao smiled bitterly after speaking, he was also an old man who followed Cao Qianli and Tan Zhi to support Zhao Kai to Taiyuan, watching the evolution of Jincheng step by step, since Xu Huiyan went, Yang Zhi, Cai Wenrou, Shenxiao faction, Anyang League, and the Yellow River Gang successively withdrew all their businesses from Jincheng, and those workshops that could not be withdrawn Yang Zhi were given to Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, and were assigned to the Guo family by Zhao Kai, and now Yang Zhi wants to find a way again, which is an impossible task.

Cao Qianli shook his head and said: "Lingzhou, Xiazhou, and Youzhou have increased by more than 100,000 people, and Yang Zhi has difficulties in solving their livelihoods, how can he have the ability to do those things now." Since it was ordered by the prince, let's go step by step, and solve the problem of this candidate first, how does King Yun plan to rebuild Jincheng?"

Tan Lingjiao replied: "King Yun is ready to reset Yingzhou, and the people who sit in Yingzhou are appointed as the Marquis of Duyu and the governor of Yingzhou, and King Yun said that the military generals are the best." ”

Cao Qianli nodded and said, "Let's go see Yang Zhi together." ”

The two arrived at the office of the Zhifu Division, and met Shan Tingqi head-on, Cao Qianli asked, "Is Yang Zhi there?"

"Yang Shuai is inside, talking to General Qu. "Shan Tingqi is currently in charge of the Fan soldiers and the Tuntian camp on Youzhou Road, Yang Zhi has changed the location of the Tuntian camp from Youzhou to Weizhou, after Yang Zhi leaves, Shan Tingqi will go to Weizhou; Cao Qianli took Tan Lingjiao directly to Yang Zhi's reception room, and Cai Qing ran over with a smile on his face: "Lord Cao, Lord Tan, are you here?"

Cao Qianli waved his hand and said: "I have something to do with Yang Shuai, Qu Duan is just right, you hurry up, Lord Tan brought a letter from King Yun, and I have something important to discuss with them." ”

The relationship between Cao Qianli and Yang Zhi is quite good, if Cao Qianli comes alone, he doesn't need Cai Qing to report at all, and he can go in directly, but Tan Lingjiao is here, Cao Qianli has to show that he still has a little distance from Yang Zhi, and some things have to be done according to the etiquette in the officialdom. Fortunately, not long after Cai Qing entered, Yang Zhi and Qu Duan both came out, exchanged a few words, and sat down in the reception room together.

After listening to Tan Lingjiao's introduction, Yang Zhi frowned and said: "The civilian casualties in this battle were heavy, I heard that the people who were slaughtered were as many as tens of thousands, and many people fled to Taihang Mountain and Volcano Prefecture. Jin Wushu is good at fighting, and he will not allow such a thing to happen, which is very unfavorable to the generals who hold Jincheng, Xu Huiyan can't find anyone in Hedong?"

Tan Lingjiao vaguely guessed Yang Zhi's intentions, and was secretly anxious in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, he still listened respectfully, waiting for Yang Zhi to continue; after a pause, Yang Zhi really said: "Everything has advantages and disadvantages, the key is the overall situation, Xu Huiyan's retreat to Shuozhou was wrong from the beginning, to be honest, I doubt his intentions; if that happens, it will be useless to fight the army, and sooner or later it will be buried on the battlefield by Xu Huiyan." ”
