Suizhou and Xiazhou belong to Xiasui Town, but because its place is connected to the three towns and guards the north and south business roads, it has always been controlled by the Shence Army. Meng Bochang tried to take it into his pocket several times and was defeated by the defending general Wen Lan. Wen Lan was the nephew of Wen Shimao, the general of the Shence Army. He was very wise and good at defending the city. He used a pair of bronze iron handles and sledgehammers to be the best in the three armies.

After Yang Hao passed by Li Yan in Chang'an, he and Xiaoyu went north along the business road and safely. When he arrived outside Suizhou City, he saw roads full of checkpoints. The official army constable closely interrogated the passers-by. Inquired, Wen Lan, the military envoy of Suizhou, was searching for a scholar named Wu Cao. Wu Cao was also considered the number one figure in Suizhou. He entered the county school at the age of seven and county school at the age of twelve, and his poetry and prose were unparalleled. Bai Juyi, a master of poetry and prose, also praised him as the best grade.

Although he was full of talent and knowledge, he failed the exam many times. He came from a poor family and was arrogant and unwilling to flatter him. After he was twenty years old, he scattered in a tavern and made a living by writing lyrics and compiling music. Because he was proficient in music and good at literature, the songs he composed were widely sung, and he had no worries about food and clothing. Shisan Niang, a new prostitute in Suizhou, was both beautiful and skillful, and invited Wu Cao to compose music and write lyrics for her.

Wu Cao was fascinated by Thirteen Niang's talent and appearance, so he tailored the songs for him, singing one of the most popular ones, and was famous in the pass and the capital. Thirteen Niang was grateful for his feelings and wanted to win over him. Wu Cao was wrong and thought Thirteen Niang was obsessed with him, so he told everyone that Thirteen Niang was his confidante. Thirteen Niang heard this and ridiculed him in person: "Who are you and who am I? You want to get me, just like a toad who wants to eat swan meat."

Wu Cao lost face in front of the people and was ashamed. That night, he put a short knife in his arms and tried to kill Thirteen Niang's life. Thirteen Niang was blocked in the house and shouted that Tiantian was unsatisfied. He used charming skills, his eyes were filled with tears, and he held his thighs and begged hard. Wu Cao said with a hard heart: "If you are willing to go with me, everything will be done. If you are unwilling, I will go to the underworld with you and force yourself to be a mandarin duck."

Thiran Niang pretended to agree, and then suggested that she would clean up the fines and sell her property, and go to the south to buy land and live a leisurely life. Although Wu Cao suspected that she was cheating, she couldn't bear to let Thiran Niang get rich and the wealth of thousands of yuan was cheaper, so she agreed. Thiran Niang was fleeing with him for a while. When Wu Cao was a little relaxed, Thiran Niang ran away. Wu Cao felt that she was cheating and hid without a trace overnight.

Wen Lan, the military envoy of Suizhou, was a regular visitor to Thirteen Niang's bed. When he saw Thirteen Niang coming in a hurry, he was furious and urgently ordered the four gates and all directions to go out of the city to set up checkpoints to capture Wu Cao. He struggled for three or five days, arrested dozens of merchants and confiscated hundreds of trucks of goods, but even Wu Cao's shadow was not found.

Yang Hao sighed when he heard this: "What is love in the world? It makes people agree with life and death. It's a pity that my husband has love and no intention."

Xiaoyu said disapprovingly: "I have become the top player in the fireworks field. It should be that I understand countless people and understand the feelings of the world. Why did she refuse to go with that scholar? I think that Wu Cao is not a good thing."

Zhang Bozhong said, "Madam is really good at seeing. Wu Cao is said to be timid, cowardly, ruthless. There is a singer in the city who likes him and often gives him his body to spend money. Later, a huge merchant wanted to redeem the singer. Wu Cao was afraid that he would lose his job, so he repeatedly interfered with it. Later, he saw that the singer had decided to leave, so he said, "If you think about the love you have for the years, leave me a thought." Seeing that he was willing to let go, the singer said, "Just take whatever you want, I will give you as long as you can take it away." Guess what Wu Cao took her? He actually bit off the singer's **."

Xiao Yuhen said, "This kind of person should be cut into pieces, so why didn't the rich businessman pursue him?"

Zhang Bozhong sighed, "The rich businessman pursued him, but the boss of the brothel refused to let him go. But the government took the public's opinion and did not dare to judge him." When Zhang Bozhong said this, he suddenly kept silent and fell into deep thought. Xiaoyu asked in a hurry: "Mr. Zhang, why don't the government judge him?" Zhang Bozhong raised his head and replied, "Because he is kind and generous, he often goes to the poor people in Zhouji City when he has spare money. He is bold and meticulous, and often stands up for the people to resist the officials, so he is deeply loved by the people. After the government arrested him, thousands of people in the city went outside the yamen to plead for him, and the local government office settled the matter and let him go."

When Xiaoyu heard this, he tilted his head and pondered: "It seems that this person is not all a bad person."

Yang Hao patted her: "You go back to the inn to rest first. We are so crowded that it seems that we have to think of a way to get through."

After sending Xiaoyu away, Yang Hao asked Zhang Bozhong: "Did you think of something?"

Zhang Bozhong said: "The adult's eyes are like lightning, and he can see through his subordinates' thoughts at a glance. Suizhou connects Hedong, Fufang and Hezhong towns, which are the gateways to enter and exit Guanzhong, and the terrain is extremely important. The guard Wenlan is Qiu Shiliang's confidant, Zhang Yueming from Fufang, and Liang Shouqian from Hezhong are also Qiu Shiliang's confidant. If the adults compete for Hedong, Wenlan will inevitably lead troops north to restrain him. If a fire is lit in Suizhou, it will not only make the three of them care about themselves, but also attract Liu Mian's attention, which may be helpful to the adults' struggle for Hedong."

Yang Hao pondered: "What Mr. is talking about is the right reason, but this place belongs to Xiasui, and Linzhou is in the north. If I come forward, it will only cause many misunderstandings. I have to ask Marshal Meng to light up this fire."

While Yang Hao asked Li Wei to call the intelligence office to manage Suizhou, he asked Zhang Bozhong to plan how to fire this fire. Zhang Bozhong said: "Suizhou does not need Fengzhou, and his subordinates may not be able to interfere in this matter." Yang Hao knew that he was wary of Guan Suo, so he said: "This matter is of great importance, don't refuse, I will explain it clearly there." Zhang Bozhong happily agreed.

Meng Bochang returned to Xiazhou half a month ago. Seeing Yang Hao coming alone, he sneered: "Is Yang Peijian the General Manager inspecting my Xiazhou?"

Yang Hao said: "You don't have to mock me. I didn't see you at the faceless meeting in Suzhou. Marshal Meng said a word. Haven't you let down His Highness King Guang's favor?"

Meng Bochang snorted coldly and said, "I'm not very familiar with him."

Wang Yuner was wearing a tight floral fur coat and was basking in the sun in the garden with a three-month-old baby in her arms. This was the third time Yang Hao saw her, and the three times he met were different. When he was in Meishan for the first time, Wang Yuner asked for her father's orders, crawling in the mud with tears in her eyes, her face and body covered in mud. At that time, what Yang Hao saw was a bold, filial and stubborn girl.

The second time was when Meng Bochang invited a full moon banquet. At that time, she was a mother with a glorious face and a white and fat person. At this moment, she was completely a beautiful young woman soaked in a honey pot.

Meng Bochang snorted: "Don't be jealous. If you have the ability, I'll take a look." Yang Hao said: "Don't be proud, my children will definitely be more than you in the future."

When Wang Yuner saw Yang Hao, she waved her hand and handed the baby to the nanny. She walked over, pursed her lips and smiled slightly, and said, "Can you two speak less? I can hear it there. When the two great mentors who are shocking the border meet, why do they always quarrel like children?"

Wang Yuner has a petite figure, her eyes are lively, and her red cherry mouth is very attractive. Looking at her, Yang Hao's heart is pounding and he feels ashamed.

Meng Bochang said: "Don't worry about our affairs. It's cold, so let's go back to the house."

Wang Yuner said: "Then you guys talk first, I'll cook two dishes for you."

Meng Bochang nodded and let go of her hand.

When he came to Meng Bochang's study, Yang Hao revealed the plan to disrupt Suizhou's restraining Shence Army, and then asked Meng Bochang: "How many troops does Wenlan have?" How many garrisons in Suizhou are, Yang Hao was actually very clear in his heart. He asked this just that he didn't want to stimulate Meng Bochang. After all, Suizhou is still his nominal jurisdiction. But Meng Bochang did not accept his affection and said coldly: "Do you know how many troops there are in Suizhou than me? You are a second-grade sword, and I am just a third-grade horizontal sword. What do you want to do, why come to see me? With your ability, can't you still take a small Suizhou?"

Yang Hao was choked by him for a while and couldn't speak. After taking two sips of hot tea, he said, "I'm not hiding it from you. I was targeted by the Uighurs. In order to protect myself, I had to occupy more territory and expand my strength."

Yang Hao briefly explained the content of the Uighur Imperial Conference that he got from Lao Kezi.

Meng Bochang listened very seriously. After listening to it, he thought for a long time before asking: "Why don't you report to the Chief Executive?"

Yang Hao did not answer directly, but started with one thing: "After the faceless meeting in Suzhou, he read a secret decree to the seven major swords: Seven of us, one is the Privy Councilor, two, one is the chief supervisor, one is the finance, and the other four are the East, West, South, and North affairs. It is said that it is just a signing opinion, and whether it can be approved is the final decision. I am in charge of Xiasui, Hedong, Shuofang and Hebei towns. All the official documents submitted by various places must pass through me. According to the rules, I have to sign and approve these official documents, and he will approve them or not. If it is not approved, I have to call them back and let me re-print it. He himself cannot decide without authorization."

Speaking of this, Yang Hao smiled bitterly: "But I am a sword left outside the capital, and the official documents submitted by various places are sent directly to the capital, and they are not really passed by me. If I inform him of such an authoritarian person, Fengzhou will not believe in Yang from now on."

Meng Bochang slapped the table and pulled his sword to slash Yang Hao. Yang Hao was shocked and hurriedly hid out, asking, "Why are you?" Meng Bochang angrily said, "What's wrong with killing you?" Yang Hao knew that he was wrong and knew that he couldn't tell him clearly for a moment, so he hurriedly walked out. He walked too quickly and knocked Wang Yuner who was delivering tea. Wang Yuner heard the two quarrel outside and rushed to relieve her persuasion. After falling to the ground, she had a plan and covered the back of her head and looked painful.

Meng Bochang looked at it with a distress, threw the knife, pushed Yang Hao away, helped Wang Yuner up, and asked with concern: "Are you hurt?" Wang Yuner rubbed her head and complained: "Is she close like a brother, but she quarreled about such a trivial matter. Are you not afraid of making people laugh?"

Meng Bochang said: "Why is it a trivial matter to speak disobedient words?"

Wang Yuner sneer said, "Have you done little to do rebellious things? You took my father's coal mine back then. Why can't you say that you can't tell me? There are only two of you in this room, and no outsiders heard it, what are you afraid of?"

"You-" Meng Bochang was speechless for a moment and waved his hand irritably, saying, "Don't scream about our business. Go and cook your meal."

Wang Yuner pursed her lips and smiled, held Meng Bochang's arm, and said, "The wine and food are ready. Please come to the table, two great mentors." In order to avoid the two fighting at the table, Wang Yuner held the baby and stayed by the side.

Meng Bochang and Yang Hao both sat like wooden sculptures. Wang Yuner kept teasing Gu'er. The baby was so funny that she giggled and screamed. Meng Bochang finally spoke to her and said, "Go, we have something to talk about." Seeing that the two had already reconciled, Wang Yuner got up and went by herself.

Meng Bochang drank a glass of wine and said in a muffled voice: "Now that the strong enemy has not been eliminated, he can tolerate you being independent. In the future, he will not let you have good fruits to eat. After you are a meritorious person, do you really have to follow the example of the three towns in Hebei to separatist the country and become a sinner of the court?"

Yang Hao said angrily: "Is it really a sin to separatist territory? You and I are now separating the country. Fengzhou and Xiazhou are worse than them? They can defend strong enemies outside and comfort the people at home. They are honest and honest, and have enough food and clothing. However, Jiangnan has a wealthy and wealthy land, and there are often no people in a hundred miles. Corrupt officials and tyrants are frugal, rich and gentry are extravagant, bandits are rampant, and the people are in dire straits. The prefectures and counties in Jiangnan are directly under the jurisdiction of the court. What did the court give them in addition to suffering?"

Meng Bochang said: "I have said this, it is your business to listen or not."

Yang Hao drank a glass of wine in a depressed manner and said, "If you don't send troops in Suizhou, I will send troops."
