Qin Mo said: "Then what do you mean, do you want the world to be in chaos, or do you want the world to be in chaos." In my opinion, there is no reason for the world to be chaotic, only chaos can achieve great governance, so hanging without death or alive, has long exhausted people's hearts, and now the world is like a powder keg buried in countless pieces, and a spark can be blown up. It's ridiculous that there are still people in the DPRK who are thinking about Yuan and Zhongxing, and they are still using troops internally, look at it, the chaos is just around the corner. ”

Li Mao said: "Your heart is too gloomy, people's minds are determined that this is the mainstream, the people have experienced too much suffering, and the endurance is amazing, as long as there is food to eat, I can't see chaos." At present, Huaixi has been flattened, the next one is Ziqing, Ziqing is flattened in Hebei, and Chengde will soon have a big chaos, which will be an opportunity to solve the problem. After flattening the feudal town, there is hope for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. ”

Qin Mo sneered: "The so-called Zhongxing turned out to be a feudal domain, and the authority that was stolen by the feudal town was returned to Chang'an, this is the so-called Zhongxing Great Cause, after cutting the feudal domain, the people should be poor or poor, or they still can't eat, or they have no place to stand, or they are poor and poor for a hundred generations, and they are rich for a thousand years, how can this be done Zhongxing This is the Zhongxing of the emperor Laozi, and what can he do with the people, he can comfort the ancestors and ancestors, but the world is still in trouble." ”

Li Mao said: "This is not the case, after leveling the feudal towns, at least the soldiers and horses can be reduced, and redundant officials can be eliminated, and today there are more than 50 towns, each town has a huge shogunate team, redundant personnel, each town raises nearly a million soldiers, too much, how strong the national strength is during the Tianbao period, it is only 500,000 people." After cutting the feudal domain, these people's power can be saved, and the people will naturally be able to benefit. ”

Qin Mo said: "Sure enough, the world is peaceful, and raising a few more officials is really no benefit at all for the secession of the feudal town, I don't think it may be." Only then can we cherish our own foundation, why Ziqing is rich, not the achievements of the Li family for decades, why Hebei is strong, and not the three towns in order to protect the family business, always train soldiers and horses

"The Khitan who can fight in Youzhou Town does not dare to cross the Yan Mountain to the south to herd horses. Liaodong rose in a few years, sweeping Silla, Bohai, Khitan, and Murowei. Jingxi has so many soldiers and horses, but it is defeated every year, Xichuan is rich, and it is a country of abundance, but it is often bullied by Tubo and Nanzhao. The world is big, how does the emperor take care of it alone, and there are a few officials who are really for the world, which one does not know how to pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages, which one is not opportunistic, and when he sees the benefits, he hides when he sees the responsibility, and only a few history books and a few loyal ministers are counted as one day and two thousand years in China

"I think it's good now, each occupies a piece of territory, competes with each other, no one dares to mess around, whoever messes around will not end well, and when the world is unified, whoever the emperor wants to die, whoever has to die, then it's not interesting. I think it's good that the world is in chaos, even if we can't enter the world, we can protect the three towns of Youzhou, Yingping, and Liaodong, raise strong soldiers and horses, make decisions for ourselves, and fight for ourselves. No one relies on him, he is the king himself. ”

Li Mao said with a smile: "You have to think about it, you can't think about it, the ancients cultivated themselves, Qi family, governed the country, and leveled the world, and sure enough, the world was in chaos, and I still have to make a contribution if I have some strength." ”

Qin Mo said: "A word is a certainty, it is just that the world is not chaotic, once there is chaos, we will stand up and fight for the world." ”

Li Mao glared at him: "I see that you have drunk too much wine and talked nonsense, go to Chang'an, quit drinking, quitting sex and nonsense, otherwise the mountains are high and the road is far away, and I can't save you." ”

Qin Mo said: "I hope you save me, you don't harm me, thank God." ”

Seeing that he was still not sober enough, Li Mao asked Hu Sijin to send a water bladder, forced him to pour a few sips of cold water, and sprinkled some on his face, Qin Mo sobered up a little and looked around.

Suddenly asked: "Why do you want to transfer Chen Muyang back, how do you plan to settle him?"

Li Mao said: "I handed over Chang'an to you to fully trust you, I can't let him restrain you, after he returns to Youzhou, I want to send him to the internal security office, what do you think?"

Qin Mo said: "Internal Security Department, it's okay, since the chaos is inevitable, your own courtyard has to be taken care of, I propose to let your Mrs. Jia Tian also have a consultant over there." ”

Li Mao said: "The right compartment is my left eye, looking at the distant and frontal enemies, the internal security office is my right eye, looking at the close and the enemy behind me, do you think it is appropriate for a person to work part-time on both sides?"

Qin Mo said: "How is it not appropriate, there are eyes staring at the front and back, who will stare at these eyes"

Li Mao gasped, but he didn't expect Qin Mo to say such a thing.

Qin Mo smiled: "This is a bit taboo, but I don't care, I don't care if I'm not in his position, I want to make a little suggestion to my old friend as a bystander for your reference." ”

Li Mao nodded and said, "I will seriously consider it." ”

The two got up, and saw that Tian Qian was still there to appease Qingmo, Qingmo's eyes were red, and he didn't know how many tears he had shed since last night. The two of them have been together since childhood, and they have always been inseparable, and they are about to separate all of a sudden, so it is naturally a little difficult to separate.

Li Mao said: "Qingmo is a good girl, don't let her down." ”

Qin Mo said: "Thank you for your kindness, it's a pity that people look at me flattened now." In vain. ”

Li Mao said: "How to coax girls is your forte, I'm waiting to drink your happy wine." ”

Sending Qin Mo and his party away, on the way back to the city, Li Mao asked Tian Qian: "You said that Qingmo fell in love with Qin Mo for a long time, and Manager Qin was entangled with other women, would she follow Mrs. Qi's example of clicking him with scissors?"

Tian Qian said: "Love is strong, I guess she will click him, and then ask for his life, and finally she will be martyred." ”

Li Mao was stunned and said: "In this way, wouldn't we hurt them?"

Tian Qi said: "This requires you to remind your good brother from time to time, don't let him come nonsense." ”

Li Mao nodded silently, and suddenly said: "Qin Mo proposed that you be a consultant of the Internal Security Department, can you afford to work part-time on both sides?"

Tian Qian said: "It's good if you can trust me, I'm fine." ”

Li Mao said with a smile: "My brother is not bad in nature, I advise your family to be calm, think twice before acting, and don't do stupid things on impulse." ”

As expected, Wang Chengyuan failed to survive the Shangyuan Festival, so he died, only twenty-seven years old, after his death, Hengzhou forces had a fierce collision, first Wang Chengdi was assassinated on the way to the Jiedu Embassy, and then Wang Yu, with the support of Wang Shibao, openly accused Xi and Xi Qingwen of being the culprits behind the killing of his uncle.

Xi invaded the association and Xi Qingwen accused Wang Shibao of being a wicked person to sue first, and it was he who bought the assassin of the big wind stall to assassinate Wang Chengdi, and the two of them, with the support of the tooth generals Lu Zhen and Fang Chuang, preemptively occupied Yacheng, placed Mrs. Mo and Mrs. Rong under house arrest, imprisoned Wang Yu, and set up Wang Chengtong as the queen of Jiedu, Wang Chengtong ordered the arrest of Wang Shibao as soon as he took the throne.

Wang Shihu was unwilling to be captured, and pulled a team to surround Yacheng, demanding that Wang Chengyuan's deathbed training be followed to support Wang Yu as the queen of the festival. Wang Chengtong was shocked, and urgently ordered the garrison of the outer city to come to the rescue, Wang Shibao ordered to seal the inner city gate, and defended it according to the danger, and the army loyal to Wang Chengtong outside the city could not enter the city, so the water in the inner city was impassable.

Wang Shibao's cronies stationed outside the city of Hengzhou heard that there was a mutiny in the city, and immediately pulled out the camp to march to the city of Hengzhou.

Layer by layer, they accuse each other of being rebellious, and the fight is turned upside down.

The situation in Hengzhou suddenly changed, and the fastest reaction in the surrounding feudal towns was Yingmo, and the observation made Wang Tingcuo pour out of the nest, leading 20,000 elite soldiers to Hengzhou City, and Wang Shi Bao Li should be combined with the outside, occupying the inner and outer cities of Hengzhou, and the water around Yacheng was impassable, forcing Wang Chengtong to surrender.

Wang Chengtong was desperate, knelt down and begged Mrs. Mo and Mrs. Rong to pardon his crimes, and the two ladies sent envoys to negotiate with Wang Shibao, in exchange for Wang Shibao, Wang Tingcao's pardon of Wang Chengtong, Xi Invasion Society, Xi Qingwen and others from death.

Wang Shibao agreed, Wang Chengtong, Xi invaded the meeting, Xi Qingwen opened the door to welcome Wang Shibao, and Wang Ting entered Yacheng. On the same day, the civil and military generals of Hengzhou were summoned and Wang Yu, the son of Wang Chengyuan, was announced as the queen of the festival.

Unexpectedly, when there was a sudden mutiny in the city of Nighttooth, Wang Shibao, Wang Chengtong, Xi Invasion Hui, and Xi Qingwen were all not in the chaos.

The Hengzhou rebellion came to an end.

Wang Tingcao led the army to leave Yingmo on the front foot, and a bandit rushed into the Yingmo defense area from Youzhou, Wang Tingcao poured out of the nest, the garrison was weak, and the bandits occupied several cities in a row, burning, killing, and plundering, and the crime was monstrous.

In order to protect the lives and property of the people of Yingmo, Li Mao, the envoy of Youzhou Jiedu, ordered Yan Qin, the assassin of Yanzhou, to join forces with Shi Xiong, the soldiers and horses of Jizhou, to enter Yingmo, expel the bandits, and restore order.

After the two got the order, they led the elite of the department to enter Yingmo Town, and three days later, Shi Xiong occupied Yingzhou and Yan Qin occupied Mozhou. The bandits had nowhere to hide, and fled into the territory of Chengde.

Li Mao also sent a message to Hengzhou, asking to enter the country to clear the eradication, and after staying in Jiedu, Wang Yu replied that there was no need for Guizhen to send troops, and the Hengzhou soldiers had the ability to protect the territory and the people. Yan Qin and Shi Xiong's military horses did not go south into the territory of Chengde.

On the grounds that Li Mao had sent troops to Yingmo with his consent, Wang Tingcao wrote to the imperial court to make a representation, demanding that Li Mao immediately withdraw his troops back to his town and return the two states to him in their entirety. Li Mao argued that Wang Tingcao sent troops south without an edict, resulting in the emptiness of the defensive land, the rampant bandits, and the misery of the people.

This pen and ink lawsuit has been fought for two months and is not clear, in the middle, Wang Tingcao completed the control of the entire Hengzhou, he was a general of Hengzhou, in the army is very old, prestige is also high, and now Wang Yu is young, Wang Chengsu has courage and no strategy, is good to kill, unexpected, Hengzhou to the back to Wang Tingcuo is very beneficial.

In this case, Wang Tingcuo naturally didn't want to leave Hengzhou, under the pretext that the town was occupied by Li Mao, and he was unhurriedly fighting a lawsuit with Youzhou, but he was honest and unceremoniously took root in Hengzhou.

Chang'an's Li Chun is keenly aware that this is a good opportunity to solve Chengde.
