Zhou Zhi has thought about this question for a while and has come up with his own answer.

"lucky."

Zhou Zhi said loudly: "They are not willing to believe that the financial owners and hundreds of thousands of troops were wiped out by us, so they are still struggling to death. It is unwise to fight such enemies on the city wall. I think something more convincing should be used to convince them."

"for example?"

"The battle flags of the various Jin thieves we seized were sent to us by Supervisor Su to deter the enemy. At this moment, we should let the Jin thieves in the city take a good look at our evidence. In addition, we should adopt Su Shuai's [Pursuing Jurchens together] strategy to shout to the Han people in the city. Even if we can't tell them for the time being, it will still cause a rift between them."

Zhou Zhi sneered: "In this way, the Han people and Jurchens in the city will inevitably be suspicious and guard against each other. At that time, if there is an outbreak in the city, will our army easily take Kaifeng?"

Zhang Yue nodded, and the other generals and staff nodded repeatedly, thinking that Zhou Zhi's idea was correct.

Zhang Yuejing added some supplements to Zhou Zhi's strategy, such as how to prevent the Jin army from going north to support or the individual elite Jin army from tracing their way.

Just like Zhao Kaishan failed to attack Kaifeng last year.

All tasks were assigned, and the next step was to prepare immediately.

Zhou Zhi also suggested that in addition to evidence such as the battle flag, Zhang Yuejing would write the policy of the Restoration Army only targeting the Jurchens and not against the Han and Khitans on paper and throw it into the city, and show it to the soldiers in the city.

Some people say that ordinary soldiers are illiterate and it is useless to write. Zhou Zhi doesn't think so.

"Ordinary soldiers can't understand. Can't those Han officers and bureaucrats understand? If they understand, will they completely block the news and not tell their subordinates? Some news will definitely spread to the entire army as long as a few people know it."

Zhou Zhi is very sure about this.

He believed that as long as someone could understand the policy of the Liberation Army against the enemy, he would not worry that the policy of the Liberation Army against the enemy would not spread in the city.

Once such news spreads in the city, even if such a thing does not happen for a while, it will trigger suspicion from the Jurchens about Han and other ethnic groups.

In this way, the Han people and the Jurchens in the city were separated from each other, and the main component of Kaifeng's city defense was also Han people. Without the efforts of the Han people, Kaifeng's city was just around the corner.

Zhang Yue nodded, agreed with this and immediately ordered his subordinates to go down to do it.

After the strategy was given, the meeting was temporarily over. The officers of each army returned to their original positions to be responsible for what they should be responsible for. Zhou Zhi was left by Zhang Yuejing and was pulled to talk to him.

"These strategies are good strategies against enemies. How did you think of them? Or does anyone suggest you?"

"I figured it out myself."

Zhou Zhi smiled: "In addition to training in the past, he also listened to the lectures given to soldiers by some instructors, and listened to the statement that differentiation and disintegration of Jin and the conflict between the Han people and the Jurchens in Jin and making a big fuss.

At first, I was confused, but later I asked the instructor for advice. The instructor explained to me with practical examples. I gradually realized that I didn’t just use troops to attack the thieves with gold.

For the thieves with gold, we need to seize their other weaknesses and fight with our soldiers. If we only use our soldiers to attack, we may take more time to eliminate them.

In this way, I felt that Su Shuai’s theory was profound and profound. It was so impressive that it was so profound that it was directly inserted into the deepest roots. I admire Su Shuai very much."

"That's natural. We have been relying on Alang's foresight and proper response along the way. Without Alang's leadership, how can we accomplish things?"

Zhang Yue nodded, walked for a while, and suddenly asked about Zhou Zhi's family background.

"I heard that you were from a wealthy family, and you were originally free of food and clothing, and lived a life like a yamen, but later your property was taken away by the Jin thief. Is that true?"

Zhou Zhi nodded slowly.

It is not a secret in the army that many people know about his origin, and you will find out after a little inquiry.

"My family originally had thousands of acres of fertile land. They lived a wealthy life in their childhood. Not to mention wealth and food, they also had no worries about hunger. But the good times did not last long. The golden thieves were in Shandong and were interested in my land.

My land was forcibly taken away, and my father was unwilling to hand over the land. He was persecuted to death by the Jin thief. His family was destroyed and his family was 72. I am only alive. I have a deep blood hatred with the Jin thief and are irreconcilable."

"What happened later?"

"Later, I wandered with many local refugees, and survived with hunger and fullness. I suffered a lot. I was lucky. I honed my skills in fighting and pulled three or five partners together, but I didn't starve to death. Later, I was taken as a servant to protect the hospital and had a place to settle down."

Zhou Zhi slowly talked about his miserable past, and Zhang Yuejing was also very moved when he heard this.

"Your origin is better than mine, but your later experience is similar. My family is just an ordinary farmer. More than a dozen acres of thin land can barely support the family. A natural disaster, the food is gone, the land is forcibly bought, and the family is all dead.

I wandered with the refugees all the way, and was lucky enough to be taken in by Alang and became a servant of the Su family and a follower of Alang. This is how I am today. If my luck was a little worse back then, I would definitely be starved to death. Now, I can still remember the feeling of being hungry."

Zhou Zhi nodded silently and didn't say anything. I wonder if he was thinking about the difficult days of survival back then.

Zhang Yuejing looked at the silent Zhou Zhi, thought for a while, and then slowly spoke: "Can you feel the suffering of ordinary people on the road to survival?"

Zhou Zhi looked up at Zhang Yuejing, showing a bitter look on his face.

"That's not the hardship of ordinary people. At least the general people still have more than a dozen acres of thin land and a house. I was not as good as my life in those years. Even people almost didn't have a bad life. It's nothing to compete for food with people, but it's the most difficult thing to compete for food with wild dogs.

Wild dogs are fierce, with sharp teeth and often in groups. We finally find some food, and we also call them to be eyeing them. Wild dogs are cunning and refuse to give up. They have to beat them to death or to be lame before they can be driven away, but then we will be injured ourselves..."

Zhang Yuejing sighed.

"Yes, that's the pain of non-humanity."

"It is indeed a non-human suffering. If you can survive it, it is a great fortune. None of the three or five friends who were with me at that time survived and died, and I was the only one left."

Zhou Zhi smiled bitterly and said, "If this were the general public, I'm afraid that the world would have been reversed long ago?"

“That’s true.”

Zhang Yue nodded and said, "So, Alang vowed to change such a cruel world. That's why he took hundreds of us from Song to Shandong to create a rebellion from Jin. He fought all the way and came to this day. Seeing that the moon was bright after clearing the clouds and mist, I recalled that it was really not easy for the past two years..."

Speaking of this matter, Zhou Zhi immediately became interested.

"I was puzzled when I listened to the instructor's lecture. The most puzzled one is why Su Shuai came to Shandong to rebel. General Zhang, you are the former subordinate of Su Shuai. Do you know why Su Shuai came to Shandong to rebel? I heard that Su Shuai was born into the family of officials in the Song Dynasty."

"Indeed, Alang's grandfather was a serious Jinshi. He also participated in the Northern Expedition with General Yue Fei. Later, he served as a county magistrate and governor and other local positions. He managed the salt administration and had a high rank."

"How could that happen... I heard that Su Shuai was selling private salt later."

"I don't know the inside story. Anyway, when I followed Alang, the Su family had already started selling private salt. I don't know much about Alang's grandfather and father. All I know is Alang."

"Can you... explain this in detail?"

Zhou Zhi's expression of interest on his face.

Zhang Yue nodded.

"Of course, Alang never hides himself. I even think Alang is not like a person on earth, but like a person in heaven. You said that we have to eat so many sufferings in this world. Those people are naturally enjoying the whole world. How could they notice that we are hungry?

But Alang saw it. Alang said that when he first went out, he saw people who were frozen and starved on the street for the first time, he felt that his sky had collapsed. It turned out that there were so many sufferings in the world. What he saw in front of him was one, how many people he hadn't seen? Later... "

While recalling the words Su Yonglin said to him when he was with Su Yonglin, Zhang Yuejing told Zhou Zhi about those things.
