Yelu Chun, Xiao Hugu, Ying Yunfei, the people in Yang Zhi's mind are nothing more than these three people, Yelu Dahal should not know about the dragon, Yan Yundian's worry is nothing more than that the actions of Tong Yi and others are related to the Song Dynasty, so finding out a certain powerful person behind the scenes is more important than taking Tong Yi. At this point in time, Yang Zhi, who had just entered the Yanyun Palace, naturally became the object of suspicion, and wanted to identify whether it was a liaison sent by the Song Dynasty.

It can be said that most of the people in Youzhou still hope that Yang Zhi will go back, whether it is to clarify the problem or find out that he is a spy; Yelu Dahal nodded solemnly and left, Yang Zhi did not walk back to his residence, he saw that two pro-soldiers were cut off one after another, and Yelu Dahal finally gave up the plan to leak the news. But Yang Zhi was not happy, it was one thing to think of many things, and the final result was another thing.

Yang Zhi returned to the courtyard, all the luggage had been packed, Sha Jing and the others were sitting in the hall, the whole courtyard was empty, there was no one, they were all smart people, they knew that it was not easy for Yelu Dahal to come to see him off, and the less the situation, the better. Breakfast was beef soup and steamed buns, seeing Yang Zhi come back, the soldiers brought Yang Zhi a portion, and when Yang Zhi finished eating, the group began to leave.

Yang Zhi remembered that he only left four personal soldiers for Sha Jing, and there were only four personal soldiers in the courtyard, but when he arrived to the west of Han'erzhuang, he found that there were more than 40 people waiting here, Sha Jing introduced that there were 15 craftsmen he found for Yang Zhi and Tianxiong Temple, as well as 20 people brought by Ying Yunfei to participate in the transaction, plus the Gaochang merchant Ba Shi Li and his party who wanted to follow Yang Zhi; according to Sha Jing's introduction, Ba Shi Li was the half-brother of the Uighur king Bilgo.

No more, no less, Ying Yunfei left twenty people, Yang Zhi smiled and nodded, Hanerzhuang completely relied on the protection of the Liao State and Bohai Navy to become a large-scale border city, but in the face of the threat of war, no one dared to stay in the active market. And the people who came to trade in Hanerzhuang were all bold and reckless people, and no one knew whether these merchants who were resting once they arrived in a place where no one was around, whether they were horse thieves;

Ying Yunfei and Bashili both bought goods, all of which were specialties of the Goryeo and Bohai regions, pearls, cloth, gold ornaments, ironware, etc., which were loaded with thirteen large carts, and it was also a small convoy on the road; Yang Zhi understood that this was the purpose of Ying Yunfei, and he wanted to go back to Youzhou by himself, and he had to delay the speed of his return. Bashili was a very talkative man and invited Yang Zhi to drink in his special carriage.

The design of the carriage is very chic, the dining table, the bed, the lockers, etc., are lit by a night pearl, and the curtain hangs in the daytime, and the light is not dim; the two people sit in it very spacious, it is estimated that there is no sense of crowding when adding two more people, the dining table is not big, but it is very practical, and there are wine, beef, smoked fish, and two kinds of fruit on the table, all of which are packed in fine porcelain bowls. Seeing that Yang Zhi was a little surprised, Bashili said with a smile: "These things are useless in Liaodong, but if you go to the desert, they will be of great use." ”

Bashili is tall and thin, with long hands and feet, always with a smile on his face, but his eyes are deep and unpredictable, which always makes people never forget his noble identity; Yang Zhi played with the luminous cup in his hand, nodded in agreement, and said: "If I am a thief in the desert and know that there is such a good thing, I will definitely have to make up my mind to rob it, fortunately, the distance from Hanerzhuang to Youzhou is not far, it is only a few hundred miles, and there are official roads and cities along the way, we can drink with confidence." ”

It was the middle of spring, and through the curtains, you could see that the fields outside were full of busy farmers, groups of herdsmen driving cattle and sheep on the fields, and many merchants also walked in the direction of the convoy along the official road to the west. Jin Liao fought again, the situation was irrepressibly deteriorated, and the merchants understood that if they did not flee the fighting area quickly, whether they were encountered by the army over there, the supplies might be requisitioned by the army, and even their lives would be put on the line.

Bashili also glanced out the window and said, "The little merchant can only do this, and when he encounters a situation, he becomes anxious and can only pray helplessly to God." In fact, the big families on both sides have already negotiated, and through intermediaries, they have made an agreement with the armies of both countries, and they will definitely transport their goods away before the war. ”

Yang Zhi took a sip of wine, which was similar to the bargains sold in supermarkets in later generations, sour and astringent; Yang Zhi smiled and said, "They have a lot of blood, right?"

If a businessman pursues profits, he can only start from interests, and if he wants to negotiate with the army, it is nothing more than to exchange money for appropriate shelter, and if he can still leave safely with a large number of goods, the businessmen are willing to pay a high amount of money; if they can stay in the green mountains, they are not afraid of running out of firewood, after all, money is something outside the body, and they can make money peacefully and peacefully, so what if they make a little less. Bashili smiled lightly: "It is because these businesses still have value for both sides, so the two sides will agree and negotiate a time for a truce." ”

Yang Zhi put down the wine glass and ate a piece of smoked fish, the smoked fish was just as dry as it was, it seemed that Bashili was also a particular foodie; Yang Zhi put the spines of the smoked fish in a fine porcelain plate and said: "The Jin people have succeeded, they have no intention of attacking Youzhou this time, but through the operation in Hanerzhuang, we Liao State think that peace is earned, in fact, as long as Zhongjing has not been conquered, Jin State will not start a war in this direction." ”

When Bashili heard this, he felt both fresh and surprised; however, in the past year, Yang Zhi, one of the most prominent generals of the Liao State, Bashili did not dare to hold it up, and asked Yang Zhi: "Don't talk about the army, even the merchants who come and go have seen the signs of the transfer of the golden soldiers, and if anyone is not nervous, it is Yelu Dahale, I am afraid that he would rather believe it than believe it." ”

Yang Zhi said in his heart, Yelu Dahale's mind is not in the battle with the Jin army now, but completely in the struggle between the king of Jin and the king of Qin for the crown prince; besides, these big businessmen are not simple businessmen, there are more or less various forces with interests behind them, whether the Jin army wants to occupy the sixteen states of Yanyun, or the Liao state wants to hold the territory, in fact, they can't offend these people, once they become the target of the public, they will be so bad that it will be difficult to move an inch.

Yang Zhi leaned back in his chair and said: "These businessmen have a connection of interests with the Liao State, and Wu Qimai, Zong Han and others in the Jin State are not ordinary people, and they will not lose their roots because of a little petty profit and a little immediate benefit, and do stupid things because of small losses." Bashli, the Jurchen's appetite is very big, so big that ordinary people can imagine. ”

Bashili's eyes flashed: "Have you seen Wu Qimai and Zong Han in Liaoyang?"
