Yes, yes, what the fourth uncle said is extremely true. Wei Bo's businessmen instantly understood the stakes and hurriedly agreed.

"Remember, as long as you give us the amount of raw silk and cloth, and you give us the Huaiyang Haidong Merchants Association enough of these goods every year, the copper and silver coins will enter your family's cash cabinet like flowing water!" Fourth Uncle Wang made a condition that he could not refuse, and then took out the contract, and Wei Bo's merchants could not resist the temptation, so they all pressed red fingerprints on it.

When Huaiyang's big ship set off to the south, Wei Boliu and Tian Ji'an sent a letter to Zhendingfu with great ambition, and as the "head of Heshuo", he wanted to arbitrate the conflict between the German army and the three towns of Yiwu, Lulong and Henghai.

The embattled Wang Wujun received a letter from Tian Ji'an, in which he asked him to return Xingzhou to the imperial court as soon as possible, otherwise I, Wei Bo, may also join the conquest sequence at any time, as long as you can return to the land and apologize to the imperial court, I, Tian Ji'an, am still willing to be a peacemaker, after all, you Zhao, still can't leave me Wei.

"Today, I was humiliated by my children!" Wang Wujun was so angry that he tore the letter to shreds, and scolded Tian Ji'an, Liu Ji and others.

But after being incompetent and furious, Wang Wujun collapsed on the bed in a dejected manner, and it took a long time to call Wang Shizhen.

"Let your brother Wang Shiping go to Daming Palace and Zhongshu to apologize, and ask the court to pick up snow." In the end, Wang Wujun commanded weakly.

Soon, Wang Shiping wept bitterly, knelt in front of the door of the hall, saying that he was willing to accept the punishment of cutting off all the officials, and hoped that the prime ministers would forgive my father's sins, and Xingzhou would immediately return to the court version.

In the end, it was Zheng Qi who walked out of the door and helped Wang Shiping up, Wen Yan was relieved, saying that Shiping came as a lieutenant of the horses, and he has always been law-abiding, and the court is about to reuse, how can he cut you down? However, after the discussion in the hall, the disposition is as follows, and I hope you will listen to it:

Taiwei Wang Wujun must return to the court to visit the Hajj within two years, and then he will be given the first place in Chang'an, and dozens of female musicians will be old;

However, the Chengde army still stayed in Zhending Mansion, and was replaced by Wang Shizhen, the current deputy envoy;

The six states of Hengji owned by the Chengde Army are still kept for themselves, and the policies remain unchanged.

"......" Wang Shiping accepted it all, bowed and left.

After returning to Fanchuan Villa, Wang Shiping couldn't hold back his joy, and said to his wife, Princess Yiyang: "The old man is about to come to Chang'an to visit the Hajj, my brother is going to stabilize the army's heart, and it is inevitable that he will kill the German army general Liwei. After speaking, Wang Shiping clenched his fists tightly, as if the real mansion was under his control.

Princess Yiyang has now fully understood that the old Wang family is full of characters of "father and son, brother, friend and brother", which is worthy of being a Khitan species, but she can't take care of it so much, anyway, the Li Tang family is similar, and now Yiyang faintly feels that leaving Chang'an City as soon as possible is the right way, so he also expressed support for her husband.

In the end, it was abruptly isolated, and only Li Shigu of the Ziqing Ping Lu Army remained.

In the city of Yunzhou, Li Shigu was restless, Liu Wu led most of the soldiers and horses in Caozhou, standing still and pretending to be dead, to be honest, he couldn't wait to personally hold a sword to wrong, and cut Liu Wu with a sword, in order to vent his resentment for fleeing from the battle, but he didn't dare to kill Liu Wu in the current situation, because as soon as Liu Wu died, the loyalty of other generals would be shaken, and if Gao Yue took the opportunity to attack, the Pinglu army would really be destroyed.

However, at this moment, Li Shigu also understood that he couldn't fight with the imperial court, Wei Shuai Tian Ji'an threw himself into the imperial court because he was dissatisfied with him, and Zhao Shuai Wang Wujun retracted to Hengji because it was difficult to protect himself, and it was said that he might have to pack his luggage and go to Chang'an to settle down soon.

"It's better to simply surrender, what is the family temple, what is the ancestral industry? I Pinglu Li came from Goryeo, and it was worth it to be the envoy of the twelve states by a pawn, but Fuyin was usually beheaded in the fifth generation, which is not wrong. Therefore, I can't make a mistake, a wrong step, and give away the future generations, and now return to the court, and return the 12 states of Henan Dongdao, there will be the first good merit, and the court will win the hearts of the people, and will definitely treat me and the teacher preferentially. ”

After figuring it out, Li Shigu returned to his house and privately found Li Shidao and confessed to him:

"I'm going to return the Twelve States Edition."

When Li Shidao heard this, his mouth grinned, and tears were about to fall.

"What to cry about! Your two brothers, and your two sons, will go to the Hajj together to return to obedience. ”

At this time, Li Shidao immediately stopped crying, and there was a faint expression of joy.

Li Shigu sighed, "You have been prosperous and wealthy since you were a child, and you lack experience, if I continue to fight against the imperial court, even if I am lucky enough to delay it for three or five years, after you take over the family business in the future, the group of wolf-like generals under your command will be eager to share your flesh and blood, and they will eat everything." I can see that no matter how innovative our Pinglu Army is, it will not reach the level of Gao Yueding's Wu Army and Wu Yi Army. It's better to take advantage of the fact that my brothers still have the capital to surrender now, and drop it as soon as possible, and then you will have to enjoy wealth and prosperity between the two capitals, and your two sons Hongfang and Ming'an will also be sheltered in the future, and they will have no worries about food and clothing. ”

"Now that my brother has made up my mind, what else does my brother have to say?" Li Shidao said to follow his brother.

"It's just that now the generals and main forces of the Pinglu army are all in Caozhou, and the soldiers and horses make Liu Wu swaying again, I said that I want to surrender, Liu Wu is likely to incite the army to harm my brother, why don't we first announce a strike with the imperial court, call Liu Wu back to the military palace, and then take the opportunity to kill him, as soon as Liu Wu dies, the military power is in your hands and me, and then the Pinglu army and the twelve states are dedicated to the imperial court, and it will be safe."

"Kill Liu Wu?" Li Shidao's face was a little panicked.

"You have to kill Liu Wu! This plot is only known to you and me, God knows it, and it cannot be leaked to outsiders! Li Shigu repeated affirmatively.

As a result, Li Shidao returned to the dormitory, and an unusual look appeared on his face, his wife Wei and his concubines Yuan and Pu felt strange, so they raised a candle to ask what was wrong, Li Shidao didn't say anything, but the curiosity of the wives and concubines was even more intense, and finally the impatient Li Shidao scolded and said: "What do you women and Taoist people know, I may have to leave Yunzhou soon." ”

"Is the husband going back to Mizhou?" Wei asked.

"If you don't go back to Mizhou, sell my family's fields in various places, and you will follow me on the road immediately, that's all." Li Shidao just said so.

Who would have thought that as soon as Li Shidao went to bed, Wei and the two concubines gathered in the outer room to discuss secretly.

"Husband said so, don't you want to leave Ziqing?"

"Are you going to Chang'an as a hostage?" The concubines were scared.

"If you go to Chang'an, you won't sell your land. Perhaps, the marshal is going to submit to the imperial court with my husband and brothers......" Wei said earnestly.

Ten days later, Li Shigu took Liu Yanping as a secret envoy and went to the camp of the Lu army in Caozhou, and said to Liu Wu: "Wei Bo and Hengji have boycotted the war with the imperial court in turn, and my Ziqing has also been in contact with Gaogongshi and Hun Fuguo, and the two sides are willing to strike the war, and the city of Bianzhou will be disposed of by the imperial court. ”

"Oh?" A subtle look suddenly appeared on Liu Wu's face.
