That night, Jiang Min hosted a wine feast for Wang Xiaolie and his entourage. However, Wang Xiaolie was not good at drinking, so they dispersed soon after.

Zhe Yanzhi stepped on the thin snow and returned to his residence. The guards washed him up and then left.

Zhe Yanzhi sat on the bed for a while, got up and made a pot of tea, sat down at the table, and was lost in thought.

Shizhou has abundant coal mines and the house is hot. After sitting for a while, Zhe Yanzhi got up and took off his coat. He sat down again and poured a cup of tea. He picked up the tea and looked at the black clothes outside.

Yanzhi sighed heavily.

I went south, and asked Zhe Ke for some money. I originally planned not to have any relations with the Zhe family in this life, but I didn't expect that Wang Xiaolie would take him to Shizhou again.

The situation at that time was that Shaanxi and Hedong had fallen, and Zhe Keqiu had no choice but to drop the gold. If he wanted to blame, he could only blame the Song Army for being too embarrassing. But the problem was that after the gold was dropped, Zhe Keqiu sent troops to attack Shaanzhou. This

One action offended Li Yanxian to death.

As Wang Xiaolie's deputy, Li Yanxian no longer has real power, so his feelings must be considered in this kind of matter. Even if Zhe Keqiu is now, it is impossible for the Zhe family army to be in its original position. The best outcome for the Zhe family members is

He was transferred to an official position, the Zhejia army was disbanded, and the Zhejia family was wiped out. Such a result could not be accepted by Zheyanzhi, let alone one that Zhezhi could ask for. But other than that, Zheyanzhi could not think of a better ending for the Zhejia family.

.

Zhe Yanzhi had seen Wang Xiaolie's army and said that it was impossible to defeat him, not to mention that the Zhe family would probably not have the support of the Jin army. The current Jin army relied on the army of Datong Prefecture in the rear to defend Taiyuan Prefecture.

Is there any spare energy available to assist Fuzhou?

Thinking of this, Orihiko sighed again and stared out the window blankly.

The next morning, the guard came over and said that Wang Xiaolie was waiting in the official hall and asked Zheyan to come over.

Zhe Yanzhi shook his head, stood up and walked towards Wang Xiaolie's residence.

The main room of Wang Xiaolie's residence was a living room. When Zhe Yanzhi arrived, Wang Ruohai and Wang Yan were sitting on the side talking to Wang Xiaolie. Seeing Zhe Yanzhi, Wang Xiaolie pointed to the chair in front of him and said: "General Zhe

Sit down and talk."

When the Jin army went south, Zhe Yanzhi served as the deputy envoy to Xuanfu in Hebei and Hedong, and guarded the Jinzhou area. He was a veteran general in the former dynasty. However, when he was the deputy envoy, he failed to block the Jin army's attack and did not defend Jinzhou. However,

After all, he had served as the deputy envoy of Xuanfu, and his momentum in front of Wang Xiaolie was still there.

Orihiko sat down.

Wang Xiaolie said: "I came to General Zhe today to discuss the affairs of Fuzhou. General Zhe should know that the reason why I recruited you is for Fuzhou."

Zhe Yanzhi nodded: "Bu Lao Xuan Fu said, I understand this in my heart."

Wang Xiaolie said: "Fuzhou is far away from Taiyuan Prefecture and Datong Prefecture, and is close to Dangxiang. In the current situation, if we don't attack, the Xixia people may attack Fuzhou. If there is no strong support, Fuzhou may not be able to resist.

"

Zheyan questioned: "Fuzhou defended Xixia for one or two hundred years, and there has never been an accident."

Wang Xiaolie laughed loudly after hearing this: "With strong reinforcements from the rear, Xixia of course can't do anything to Fuzhou. But if there is no strong reinforcements, how can we prevent it? There is no need for the general to be tough on this kind of thing, you and I both know it. Now.

We want to raise troops for the Northern Expedition. We cannot ignore the money that Fuzhou has made. How can we do it with such a large enemy army in the rear? For the army going north, the retreat may be cut off at any time."

Zheyan remained speechless.

Wang Xiaolie said: "Now we must deal with the problem of Fuzhou. With one division of troops in Shizhou, we can raise troops. Although there are a few fewer troops, I estimate that we can still capture Fuzhou, but the losses will be larger.

Another way is to rely on the generals to let the prefectures abandon the dark side and surrender to the bright side."

Zheyan questioned: "Xuanfu might as well explain his words. If Fuzhou can return to the Song Dynasty, what benefits will it give Zhezhizhou and Zhejia? If not, so what? I am a Song general, Xuanfu does not need to

Think of me as a member of the family, and it's okay to be a lobbyist."

Wang Xiaolie was silent for a while and said: "Okay, you can just be a lobbyist. During the Jianyan period, Zhe Keqiu attacked Shaanzhou several times, and Li Dutong hated him to the core. I can't give him anything here.

What's the benefit? I can only guarantee the lives of his family. There are also people in the Zhe family. If my army enters Fuzhou, I guarantee that no one will be killed. If you want, I can send them to the court. If you don't want to, then just be an ordinary person in the west of Beijing.

Common people, I want to save my family’s assets and live a safe life.”

Zhe Yanzhi smiled and shook his head: "Xuan Fu, Zhe Zhizhou has tens of thousands of troops, and the people will listen to Zhizhou no matter what. Under such circumstances, your conditions are really not attractive at all. I can go to Fuzhou to help Xuan Fu

Let me tell you the conditions for the care, but it may not be possible."

Wang Xiaolie said: "Whether it succeeds or not depends on whether you can ask for it, it has nothing to do with you. If you don't agree to it, you will have no choice but to march northward. There is nothing you can do."

Zheyan questioned: "To be honest, the condition of Xuanfu is for Fuzhou to surrender. How is that possible? Alas -"

Wang Xiao lay silently for a while, then sighed and said, "I don't want to trick Zhe Keqiu and then use methods to punish him. If a man is an upright man, he should either defeat him on the battlefield or be friendly. Besides, Zhe Keqiu

My family has been in Fuzhou for hundreds of years, and everything is enough. If Zhe Keqiu feels that he is wronged by being an ordinary citizen, what should he do if he is a commoner by birth? Zhe Keqiu doesn't have horns on his head, so why should he be the magistrate of the state?"

Zhe Yanzhi smiled and shook his head repeatedly, thinking that Wang Xiaolie was talking nonsense.

Wang Xiaolie narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Zhe Yanzhi. After a while, he said: "After the conditions have been discussed, General Zhe will be on his way tomorrow."

Zhe Yanzhi stood up, crossed his hands, saluted, and walked out with his head held high.

Looking at Zhe Yanzhi's back, Wang Ruohai said: "Xuan Fu's conditions are indeed a bit harsh. No matter how difficult it is to get Zhe Yanzhi, I won't agree to it."

Wang Xiaolie said: "What can be done? Li Dutong wished that Zhe Keqiu could be eaten alive. It would be impossible for him to let Zhe Keqiu lead the army after winning Fuzhou. And if Zhe Keqiu was asked to become an official, he would not be able to do it.

I don’t believe it. This is the only way.”

Wang Ruohai said: "Xuanfu still wants to fight?"

Wang Xiaolie sighed: "I don't want to fight either. But the situation is like this, and there is no other way. I just hope that when Zheyan is detained in Fuzhou, someone will listen to him and not forget the kindness of the Song Dynasty. In the past two hundred years,

The imperial court treats the family well."

Wang Ruohai said: "If we must fight, we must start from the other side of the Yellow River. Take the Yan'an Prefecture and the Suide Army first, and cut off the foreign aid in Fuzhou. Without foreign aid, it is not difficult to attack Fuzhou. If we have few soldiers, then we can do it again.

Send in troops."
