Liang County Mansion, Song City.

Wang Bodang came to meet Han Xiangguo and handed over Zhai Rang's secret letter.

Han Xiangguo was very concerned about the situation in Jiyin, in his opinion, after Bai Li Fengyun entered the Central Plains, Zhai Rang would definitely raise troops to respond, however, to his surprise, from Zhai Rang's secret letter, he not only did not see that Zhai Rang had the intention of raising troops to respond, but was full of resentment and resentment towards Li Fengyun, and there were signs of turning against him.

For Li Fengyun and his people, Han Xiangguo's psychology is very conflicted. It was Han Xiangguo who pushed Li Fengyun to raise the flag to rebel, but Han Xiangguo's real purpose was to divert the attention of the official in order to plunder the heavy troops and blame Li Fengyun. Han Xiangguo suffered a dumb loss, and the anger in his heart can be imagined, but fortunately, the person who planned this matter did not blame him, but praised him on the contrary, after all, plundering heavy troops is not the goal, but a means to force the Cui family to reach some kind of tacit agreement with him.

After that, Li Fengyun was very prosperous in southwest Lu, and he fought happily with the official army, Duan Wencao and Zhang Xutuo joined forces and failed to defeat him, which made Han Xiangguo have to admire, people have real skills, and they can't be convinced. From this, he also had a deeper understanding of the political game at the top, and he knew that Li Fengyun had the support of the Cui clan behind him, and Li Fengyun's rise in southwest Lu was obviously to hinder the Eastern Crusade. This matter seems incredible, but if it is not unbelievable, how can it be called a political game? Then the storm suddenly changed, and Li Fengyun suddenly entered the Central Plains, which made Han Xiangguo stunned and puzzled, not knowing what Li Fengyun's purpose was, but one thing he could be sure of was that Li Fengyun's attack would inevitably promote a change in the political situation in the Eastern Capital, and this change was obviously not conducive to the Eastern Crusade. Behind Li Fengyun's unbelievable actions, there must be hidden secrets that no one knows

Han Xiangguo understands Zhai Rang's concerns and empathizes, purely from his own interests, under the current situation, he will not raise the banner to rebel, there is no hope for rebellion, the Eastern Crusade cannot be defeated, once the emperor and the expeditionary force return, in the face of absolute strength, the weak rebels will have no way to resist at all, and they will definitely die. It's just that what makes him puzzled is that when he calculated Zhai Rang and cornered Zhai Rang, it was said that the Cui family secretly rescued him, and he deduced that Li Fengyun had the support of the Zhai family behind him, but now Zhai Rang and Li Fengyun are about to turn against each other, which makes him have to doubt his own inference, is it not the Cui family who rescued Zhai Rang in the first place, but the Xingyang Zheng family? If Zhai Rang is loyal to the Zheng family in Xingyang, then who is behind Li Fengyun?

Han Xiangguo pondered for a long time, couldn't figure it out, and turned his eyes to Wang Bodang.

Wang Bodang was in his twenties, handsome, tall, and heroic, standing under the hall at the moment, looking a little restrained, but those eyes that flashed a few gloomy rays from time to time could not hide his rebellious nature.

Most of the ancestors of the Jiyang Wang clan were in the army, and it was a standard warrior family. During the division of Middle Earth, this kind of "cold" warriors were very popular, but after the reunification of China and Earth, as the losing side, when the brunt was attacked and suppressed, it was difficult for future generations to make a difference in their careers. The Wang brothers are self-aware, since it is difficult to make a difference in their careers, then they can live a life of food and clothing in the countryside with peace of mind, but the resentment in their hearts is difficult to eliminate, and a group of "cold" brothers who are sympathetic to each other get together, and gradually from "white" to "black", the growth of wealth is very fast, and the power in the local area is also increasing.

Han Xiangguo was born in a famous family, Yingchuan Han and Yingchuan Chen, Runan Yuan are known as the three most famous families in Yingru area, and the famous general Han Baohu of this dynasty is from Yingchuan Han. Although Han Xiangguo's branch did not produce any big names, the aristocratic level of the Han clan was there, and compared with the low-level "cold doors" like the Jiyang Wang clan, it could be said to be high. Han Xiangguo showed this superiority to the fullest, from the beginning of Wang Bodang's entry into the door, he did not give him due respect, and he didn't look at him with his eyes, but Wang Bodang was wearing a white coat again, and the white clothes were used exclusively by the Shu people in this dynasty, Wang Bodang's move not only surrendered his identity, but also destroyed the aristocratic etiquette, and was also a disrespect to the master Han Xiangguo. If you don't respect me, how can I give you face? So Han Xiangguo not only didn't give Uncle Wang a seat, but didn't even let him enter the lobby.

Han Xiangguo beckoned to Wang Bodang, called him into the lobby, and still let him stand.

"Where is Fa Si Zhai now?" Han Sang-kook asked.

"North of Jiyang, the old road of the big river." Uncle Wang was concise and to the point, although he tried his best to hide the dissatisfaction in his heart, but after all, he was young and vigorous, and his temperament was also very unruly after mixing in the underworld for a long time, and he still showed more or less resentment. I am also a messenger sent by Zhai Fasi, and I also have several relationships with you, and I was bullied by this for the first time today, and I will be "rewarded" in the future.

Han Xiangguo thought for a moment, and then asked, "If Jiyang is lost, will you follow Zhai Fasi north to the big river, or will you find another way out?" ”

Wang Bodang immediately realized that this was Han Xiangguo testing himself, but he didn't know what Zhai Rang wrote in the secret letter, whether it was leaking the differences between the Wagang brothers, so after a little hesitation, he replied, "Only Zhai Fa Sima is Zhan." ”

Han Sang-kook laughed and lost interest in asking. Wang Bodang is very cautious, and his words are not leaking, and he definitely can't ask anything famous, so why bother to speak? Han Xiangguo's impression of Wang Bodang became worse because of this, and he waved his hand at him and motioned for him to step back, "Come and get the letter tomorrow." ”

Han Xiangguo sat alone in the lobby, thinking for a long time, and suddenly made a decision, hurried out of the city with a few cronies and escorted him, and went straight to the dock.

The Tongji Canal was lined with sails, the embankment avenue was bustling with people, the boatmen, sailors, and walkers gathered together in twos and threes, and what they said was either a disaster or a thief, and everyone was in danger and panicked, and the sudden increase in a group of heavily armed patrol guards on the wharf just confirmed all kinds of rumors, which made the atmosphere inside and outside the Song City very tense.

The sun is blazing, and the heat is unbearable. Han Xiangguo wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked up at the big ship in front of him. This is a medium-sized merchant ship, very ordinary, and there is nothing unusual to see, but in Han Xiangguo's eyes, this ship is like a magnificent mountain, so he has to look up. A middle-aged man in Tsing Yi appeared on the deck, with an arrogant expression, and made a gesture to Han Xiangguo to get on the boat.

Han Xiangguo followed the man in Tsing Yi into the inner cabin and saw a young man in purple sitting upright behind the desk, reading the paper. The purple-clothed man has a thin figure, a good appearance, an elegant temperament, and a little dark skin, but this just adds a bit of uprightness and heroism to him, which just dilutes the excessive bookish aura on his body.

Han Xiangguo stood outside the hatch and gave a deep salute, "Pushan Gong ......"

The man in purple glanced up at him, smiled lightly, bowed slightly, and then put down the scroll and stretched out his hand to ask

Han Xiangguo bowed his head, stepped forward respectfully, gave another salute, and then sat down opposite the purple-clothed man, and said softly, "Pushan Gong, a messenger has come from Jiyang to deliver some news. ”

"Tell me about it." The man in purple smiled even more, quite interested.

Han Xiangguo presented Zhai Rang's secret letter. The man in purple spread out and took a closer look, and the cabin fell silent.

Han Xiangguo looked at the man in purple intently, carefully observing the changes in the expression on his face, his expression was a little nervous, and he was also very worried in his heart.

The young man sitting opposite is called Li Mi, his family is illustrious, his great-grandfather Li Bi is one of the Eight Pillars of the Western Wei Dynasty, his grandfather Li Yao, and his father Li Kuan are all meritorious generals of Guan Long. The Li family was very powerful, and the Yuwen royal family of the Northern Zhou Dynasty married the eldest princess to Li Bi's second son Li Hui as a marriage. In this dynasty, the first emperor married his daughter Princess Xiangguo to Li Bi's grandson Li Changya as a marriage. Li Changya is Li Mi's uncle, so according to the seniority, he is Li Mi's uncle, although he is not his own uncle, but the fact of the marriage between the two families exists, and this relationship cannot be escaped. Li Mi is sensitive and studious, studying under Shandong Confucianism and Guozi assistant teacher Bao Kai, and is famous for his erudition and talent.

The reason why Han Xiangguo knew Li Mi was because of the relationship between his benefactor Yang Xuangan. Yang Xuangan and Li Mi had a very close relationship, when Yang Xuangan was in Songzhou to do the history of assassination, Li Mi often came, and over time he became familiar with some of Yang Xuangan's cronies. After knowing Li Mi's identity, Han Xiangguo couldn't help but wonder, with Li Mi's family background and talent, why didn't he enter the official career, but focused on learning? Later, he heard some gossip that Li Mi was one of the members of the "princelings" that year, because the crown prince Yang Yong was defeated in the battle for the imperial throne and was deposed, and the "princelings" were affected, and those who died, those who escaped, those who were exiled, and those who survived were also banned and permanently expelled from their careers.

After Yang Xuangan's father Yang Su died of illness, Yang Xuangan resigned due to Ding Wei, and returned to Hongluqing a year later, and soon was promoted to the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, but Han Xiangguo was pushed to the end in the reform of recalling the state as a county. Han Xiangguo went to the Eastern Capital to seek help from his benefactor, and to his surprise, Yang Xuangan not only gave him a very high standard of reception, but also introduced him to his inner circle. Li Mi is a member of this inner circle, but he participates in decision-making, and Han Xiangguo is only responsible for implementation, so Han Xiangguo is far away from the real core of this circle, but Han Xiangguo is very satisfied, for him, as long as he steps into this circle, it means soaring.

Yang Xuangan gave him the mission to make the local forces in the former Songzhou region bigger and stronger, and to do everything possible to control the black and white roads on both sides of the Tongji Canal, and then under the protection of official forces, use the Tongji Canal, the golden waterway, to seek private interests. Complementing each other, when the interest network based on the Tongji Canal is formed, it will inevitably promote the strengthening of local forces in turn, and will link the black and white forces on both sides of the Tongji Canal more closely. Han Xiangguo has done a good job over the years and has lived up to Yang Xuangan's trust.

Everyone has ambitions, and Han Xiangguo is the same, especially when he stepped into the political group with Yang Xuangan as the core force and the Heluo aristocracy as the core force, when he spied on the extraordinary political ambitions of Yang Xuangan and his allies, his personal ** also swelled rapidly, he was not willing to hide in the dark and be a local boss who ate both black and white, he wanted the prince and the general, and wanted to become a powerful and omnipotent like Yang Su and Yang Xuangan.

He needs an opportunity, and there is such an opportunity in front of him, although this opportunity in front of him is like the moon in the sky, out of reach, but for Yang Xuangan and Li Mi, it is within reach. As long as Yang Xuangan and Li Mi are willing to reach out and seize this opportunity, then his opportunity will come.

Han Xiangguo presented Li Mi not only with Zhai Rang's secret letter, but also with his own thoughts, including his personal selfishness. This approach is extremely risky, and if he is not careful, it will touch the bottom line of Yang Xuangan and Li Mi, and the price paid for this will inevitably be heavy, but he is willing to gamble.
