Cao Bin learned from Xizuo that Liu Jixing was really preparing to burn down the palace in Xingwangfu! The army came to the city, the moat of the Southern Han Kingdom was changed to a pond to plant lotus, it is said that the weapons and armor were all embroidered, and the lord of the Southern Han Dynasty did not want to find a way to organize the army for war, but he wanted to burn his palace property, which was really a bit ridiculous; However, there are rumors that Liu Jixing is mediocre, and Cao Bin is a little convinced that he really wants to do such stupid things.

Cao Bin had to admit that Liu Jixing's trick still had some effect, in the past two years, the imperial court has expanded its armaments and fought for many years, which has cost a lot of money, and the monarchs and ministers have attached great importance to the property that will be "confiscated" from the capital of the Southern Han Dynasty.

In addition to fighting a war with the Wu Dynasty (Vietnam), the Southern Han Kingdom also recuperated for many years, and accumulated a lot of wealth from trade with other countries and overseas trade, and its wealth was very considerable.

But Cao Bin could not agree to Liu Jixing's conditions because of this...... The army had come thousands of miles all the way, and had reached a distance not far from the capital; And the Xingwang Mansion does not repair military equipment, and even the city walls are flashy. It is absolutely impossible for Cao Bin to withdraw his troops!

Just when Cao Bin was in a dilemma, Qianniu prepared Lu Duan to ask to see him.

Lu Duan offered advice: "Cao Gong's persuasion of one person can be solved in this matter. ”

Cao Bin was helpless, so he asked, "Who?" ”

"Fan Beard." Lu Duandao.

Cao Bin suddenly realized when he heard it. Last time, Lu Duan made a statement on military affairs, which made Cao Bin feel very stupid and take it for granted, but this time he felt more ingenious. Cao Bin was even a little annoyed: How could I not think of such a simple thing? Maybe he's not good at thinking about the sword.

Who is Fan Beard? This is a witch and goddess who pretends to be a god and sells a charm to cure all diseases, and once claimed that the Jade Emperor gave her a dream, saying that she was a national teacher, and the emperor had to use her to protect the country and the people. The lord of the Southern Han Dynasty believed it and was busy worshipping him as a national teacher.

Fan Huzi accepted a group of women and eunuchs as henchmen, spoke on behalf of the sky, and recommended these people to Liu Jixing. The Southern Han Kingdom has another female prime minister, Lu Qiongxian.

If you can really win over Fan Hu and let her say a word for the immortals, according to the Southern Han Dynasty lord, maybe she will really listen.

Cao Bin hurriedly asked: "How can such people be co-opted?" What are the requirements? ”

Lu Duan's face was calm and calm, as if he had forgotten all about the last time he was reprimanded, and said, "Don't want anything." ”

He continued, "Just give her a wake-up call." ”

Cao Bin asked again: "Which sentence?" ”

Lu Duan said: "When the Xingwang Mansion is destroyed, the lord of the Southern Han Dynasty may still be crowned the king and worship the marquis, how can she escape?" ”

Cao Bin paced a few steps in the tent after hearing this, turned to look at Lu Duan and said: "Lu Qianniu went to Xingwangfu as an envoy, if it can be done at this time, I will definitely ask for credit for you in person!" ”

Lu Duan's face was embarrassed, as if he didn't want to do this errand...... Cao Bin knew the reason very well, now that the Zhou army was at war with the Southern Han army, no matter what, going to the capital of the Southern Han Kingdom would definitely risk his life.

Cao Bin persuaded again: "Does Lu Qianniu know Lu Duoxun? Judging from this handsome, Lu Duosun will become the prime minister sooner or later. ”

Lu Duan said at this time: "Xiaguan has a very light view of fame. However, this plan comes from the mouth of the lower officials, and it is inconvenient to pass it on to others. ”

Cao Bin nodded and praised: "Lu Qianniu understands things very well. ”

Lu Duan said: "Don't hide it, Xia Guan is quite a confused person." ”

…… More than a month later, the lord of the Southern Han Dynasty suddenly changed his attitude and sent a letter expressing his willingness to surrender! Cao Bin was impressed by Lu Duan for a while.

Seeing Lu Duan again, Cao Bin said: "Fan Huzi and others are not short of money, and the Great Zhou Dynasty is not the Southern Han Kingdom, so it is impossible to give a woman who pretends to be a ghost to be an official position." In addition to asking for the protection of her net worth, what conditions did Lu Qianniu agree to Fan Huzi? ”

Lu Duanbai said: "Fan Huzi wants to meet His Majesty with his entourage." ”

"That's it?" Cao Bin frowned and pondered for a moment, then asked, "You saw Fan Huzi, how is your posture?" ”

Lu Duan said: "Half-old, I like women to dress up as men." ”

Cao Bin was even more puzzled and asked Lu Duan.

Lu Duan replied: "The lower officials are confused, and they don't know why. ”

Cao Bin couldn't figure it out, so he said: "As long as you don't withdraw from the army, you can find a way to find other conditions." Although he did not ask for a decree at this time, if he let His Majesty meet with him, he would avoid more casualties and obtain a large amount of goods from the treasury of the Southern Han Kingdom, and His Majesty would definitely approve of it. ”

Lu Duanbai said: "The lower officials also think so. ”

……

The Southern Han War ended, and the intensity of the war was not intense. When Guo Shao received the good news, his men and horses had already entered the Central Plains and would soon arrive in Beijing.

At this time, the festival has entered autumn, and the east wind is blowing in the air, and there are already bursts of chill. However, the timing of this western tour is also ingenious, and the time to leave the northwest is just right, otherwise the northwest is even colder now.

After Cao Bin captured Shaozhou, Guo Shao just looked at the map and knew that the Southern Han Kingdom had nothing to do. Now that the news came, he was not surprised, but he was more surprised by the fast play.

Wei Renpu, Lu Duoxun and others who accompanied him entered the camp to congratulate the victory.

Someone mentioned Wu Yueguo, and now Wu Yueguo is lonely in the southeast, but he still has no intention of surrendering. A general asked to lead troops with Cao Bin to besiege Wuyue in the north and south, but Guo Shao refused without hesitation: "There is no need. ”

Guo Shao said after a while: "When I capture Youzhou, Wu Yueguo still doesn't take the initiative to surrender, that is, he doesn't know the current affairs; Attack now, there is a superfluous war in plain water. ”

After hearing this, everyone fell silent all of a sudden, because of Guo Shao's meaning, the decision to go on another Northern Expedition has been made!

After a while, Wei Renpu and others discussed the reward for meritorious deeds.

Guo Shao's eyes fell on Lu Duoxun at once, without any entanglement, Lu Duosun should definitely be promoted this time. There are also Cao Bin and others, the reward is very clear, and it only needs to be based on the size of the merit.

Some are not easy to be promoted, such as Wei Renpu's hard work in presiding over the Western Tour, and he can be added to an honorary position to improve his salary.

There is only one person, which makes Guo Shao feel a little difficult: Lu Xiaoniang.

Although the Southern Han Kingdom was weak, this time Cao Bin was unlucky and was trapped by miasma. If it weren't for Lu Xiaoniang, it would be difficult to predict the outcome of the battle against the Southern Han Dynasty.

Lu Xiaoniang is a woman, she can't be an official, she can't be ordered, and she is not married yet. But Guo Shao is very grateful to her in his heart, he can't talk about clear grievances, but he knows very well who is really kind to him.

Concubines in the palace? Now the position of the first and fourth ladies is full, and Lu Xiaoniang is at most a concubine. According to Guo Shao, except for a few concubines with higher ranks, there is much difference between other court women and concubines; And once he has a name, is it really a good thing for Lu Lan to be locked up in the palace for the rest of his life?

Many folk women still want to enter the palace, and it would be a great thing if they mixed up in the palace...... That's because ordinary women lack fine clothes and food, so they care.

Guo Shao sat on the top and pondered: How to repay her?
