He Sancai heard the mutiny and hurried back, just as Qin Mo personally brought troops to pick him up, one of He Sancai's guards was shocked: "Li Mao sent someone to kill you." ”

He Sancai shouted: "Nonsense, what crime do I have to suffer from this knife?" ”

Saying this, he was a little uneasy in his heart, and hurriedly hid in a roadside ditch, and when Qin Mo passed, the group took a shortcut and returned to Caozhou City, He Sancai wanted to see Liu Wu, and after learning that Liu Wu had entered the city, he disguised himself and entered Liu Congji's Flying Eagle Battalion.

He Sancai begged Liu Congjian to save his life when they met, and Liu Congjian smiled and said: "It is Lai Yongchun who is making trouble, unless you want to protect him to the death, what are you afraid of?" ”

He Sancai said: "The brothers of the Lai family followed me from birth to death, and Lai Da once saved my life, but now how can I abandon his brother?" The little general must intercede for me. ”

Liu Congzhi said with a smile: "This is in the army, not at home, nor is it a cottage of the king of the mountain." Military law is like iron, who dares to touch it? Lai Yongchun is looking for death by himself, what does it have to do with you? If you can't bear the constraints of military law, I will send you to entangle you and let you go, if you want to stay in the army and do a great career, follow me to see the commander. Don't worry, with my father protecting you, no one will dare to kill you. ”

Qin Mo failed to receive He Sancai, did not dare to delay, and hurried back to report, Li Mao was shocked in his heart, and urgently ordered all armies to be on alert, wanting to solve He Sancai's department by force. Suddenly, I heard Liu Congzhi take He Sancai to ask for guilt outside the camp, and he was overjoyed, and said to Liu Wu: "The tiger father has no dogs, if there is a son, what are you worried about, Brother Liu?" ”

He Sancai followed the example of the ancients to bear the guilt, Li Mao helped him up, untied the thorns, and ordered the military doctor to pull out the thorns for him, and put on gold sore medicine, then he said: "Lai Yongchun disobeyed the order, for the sake of strict military discipline, I must severely punish him, I know that he is your good brother, I hope you can understand." ”

He Sancai cried: "He is the last lone seedling of the Lai family, please make it convenient for the handsome to leave some blood and bones for his family." ”

He Sancai's words were unclear, almost making Li Mao misunderstood, and after Liu Congzhi explained that Li Mao understood that He Sancai meant to beg Li Mao to make it convenient for Lai Yongchun, so that he could have sex with several concubines for a few nights before he died.

Lai Yongchun followed He Sancai and went around, and every time he got money, he was sent back to his hometown, and there were twelve concubines at this moment.

Li Mao agreed to his invitation and ordered the twelve concubines to be fetched.

He Sancai was overjoyed and volunteered to arrest Lai Yongchun to confess.

Coming out of the military tent, Liu Cong said to Liu Wu: "Li Mao is relaxed and has a strategy, if he lives here for a long time, it may be difficult to get ahead." ”

Liu Wudao: "Bear with it for the time being, and wait for the opportunity." He also instructed: "When you return to the camp, guard the camp and be careful of the ghosts over there." ”

Liu Cong admonished: "Father rest assured, the child knows in his heart." ”

At dusk of this day, He Sancai tied Lai Yongchun to come to the Chinese army, and Lai Yongchun knelt on the ground to ask for guilt, which was also refreshing. In the following half a month, he lived in a conjugal cell specially prepared for him, and painstakingly studied the art of creating a human being with twelve concubines.

At the end of the period, the head of the owl was shown to the public to set an example.

This was the first time that there were seven incidents of the Pinglu Army's sneak attack on the Andong military camp, because Li Mao had taken precautions and did not suffer major losses. Li Mao reported the matter to Li Shidao.

Li Shidao was furious and ordered a strict investigation of those who sent troops without authorization. The thing was instructed by Li Shidao, and the person was also selected by Li Shidao, so Li Shidao naturally couldn't find out, but the powerful copper tiger head really found out a few internal ghosts who destroyed the harmony between the two families.

Li Shidao was a little embarrassed, so he had to order these people to be beheaded in public, and strictly ordered all troops not to provoke.

When someone in Ziqing was pinching each other with Li Shidao in front of each other, Li Mao received his old friend Zhao Jinglai at a grange on the outskirts of Caozhou.

After Li Mao occupied Caozhou, he immediately cut off the secret trade route from Ziqing to Xuanwu, which was equivalent to cutting off the financial route of Tonghutou. The first reaction of the copper tiger head was to send someone to assassinate Li Mao, but because Li Mao had already taken precautions, he could not succeed.

Helpless, the copper tiger head can only send people to Caozhou to ask Li Mao to let go of a way out, Li Mao since the lack of qualifications for the reason, refused to meet, after five times, the copper tiger head had to invite Zhao Jinglai to Caozhou to visit.

Former friends, later enemies, seeing each other at this moment, the two couldn't help but sigh. Zhao Jinglai apologized: "People can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes, and I pray for Brother Maohua to forgive." ”

Li Mao said: "Let him pass the past, people must always look forward." ”

Zhao Jinglai said: "Your army blocked the trade route of our department to the west, and did not give us a way to live, do you want to put our department to death?" Li Mao said with a smile: "Xuanwu is Ziqing's number one enemy, Wei Bo is Ziqing's ally, and your subordinates give up their allies to become enemies, even I, an outsider, can't stand it." ”

Zhao Jinglai said: "Wei Bomin is poor, and the border is blocked by the imperial court, it is unprofitable, Xuanwu is poor, but the border is unblocked, profitable, and the cost of doing business must be calculated." ”

Li Mao said: "Although Wei Bo is poor, it is not that he can't afford to eat salt, and it is still profitable to do business with him. There is a saying that the mouth of eating people is short, and the hands of taking people are short, Wei Bo has won the benefits of your department, and he will naturally repair with your ministry in the future, and your ministry will have one more reinforcement. In addition, the Wuning army is about to undergo a big change, and the part of Wei Bo that is not enough can be recovered from Wuning, so why bother to love Xuanwu and a flower. ”

Zhao Jinglai said: "You are only considering it from the perspective of interests, and you should also know that our department is not a pure businessman. ”

Li Mao said with a smile: "It's just a set of self-respect, although raising a Kou can be self-respecting, if you don't do it well, you will be burned." How many of those who have been killed these days have been killed by Xuanwu is an example. ”

Speaking of this, Li Mao accentuated his tone: "If your subordinates don't unite and straighten their waists, sooner or later they will be broken by each other." ”

Li Mao's words were on Zhao Jinglai's heart, these days he was ordered to attack the Andong military camp, and the people who intended to cause a conflict between the two families were instructed by Li Shidao, and most of them were instructed by Xuanwu Han Hong.

Li Shidao reached some kind of agreement with Wang Shuwen to stir up trouble in Caozhou to cooperate with Wang Shuwen to seize military power. Xuanwu wanted to fish in troubled waters, inserted a pole, and also instigated the two families to fight.

Many of these people who were instigated by Xuanwu had a copper tiger head background.

After the incident, Li Shidao was forced by Li Mao and Wei Bo to arrest a group of people, kill a group of people, and lock up a group of people.

In retaliation, the various factions of the Tonghutou temporarily put aside their prejudices and also joined forces to deal with a group of Li Shidao's people.

At present, in the battle between the two families, the copper tiger head can still maintain a slight advantage, but this advantage is on the whole, specific to each force, in fact, has fallen into the disadvantage, and it is foreseeable that after Li Shidao obtains the temperance, this advantage will disappear completely, and the fate of the copper tiger head will be miserable in the future.

Whether the copper tiger head can leave the host and become an independent force is a question that the top leaders of the copper tiger head, including Zhao Jinglai, have been thinking hard about, and this problem has not been solved so far.

Li Mao's warning came at the right time, and Zhao Jinglai said that she would seriously consider it. (Dissertation College)
