Cao Bin learned from Xiaozuo that Liu Jixing was really preparing to burn the palace in Prince Xing’s Mansion!
The army was at the city, and the moats of the Southern Han Kingdom were changed to ponds to plant lotus flowers. It is said that all the weapons and armor were embroidered. It is a bit ridiculous that the lord of the Southern Han Kingdom did not find a way to reorganize the army and prepare for war, but wanted to burn his own palace property. However, there were rumors that Liu Jixing was incompetent, and Cao Bin believed that he really wanted to do that stupid thing.
Cao Bin had to admit that Liu Jixing's move was effective. In the past two years, the imperial court expanded its military and fought for years, which was very expensive. Both the monarch and his ministers attached great importance to the property that was to be confiscated from the capital of the Southern Han Dynasty.
In addition to fighting a war with the Wu Dynasty (Vietnam), the Southern Han Kingdom also had many years of rest and recuperation. It also accumulated a lot of wealth from trade with other countries and overseas trade with them, and its wealth was very considerable.
But Cao Bin could not agree to Liu Jixing's conditions for this... The army has come thousands of miles and has reached a distance not far from the capital; and the Xing Palace does not build military equipment, and even the city wall is flashy.
It is absolutely impossible for Cao Bin to withdraw his troops!
Just when Cao Bin was in a dilemma, Qianniu was ready to ask for a meeting.
Lu Duan made a suggestion: Cao Gong's persuasion to surrender can be resolved.
Cao Bin was helpless and asked: Who is it?
Fan Huzi.Lu Duan said.
Cao Bin suddenly realized when he heard this.
Last time, Lu Duan made suggestions on military affairs, which made Cao Bin feel stupid and taken for granted, but this time he felt it was more clever.
Cao Bin was even a little annoyed: Why didn’t I expect such a simple thing?
Perhaps he is not good at thinking about taking odd steps.
Who is Fan Huzi?
It was originally a witch witch who pretended to be a god and a ghost to sell talismans to cure all diseases. Once, he claimed that the Jade Emperor had asked her to dream of her, saying that she was the national teacher and that the emperor had to use her to protect the country and the people.
The king of Southern Han believed it and hurriedly called him the national teacher.
Fan Huzi took another group of women and eunuchs as his followers, spoke on behalf of Tian, and recommended these people to Liu Jixing.Another female prime minister, Lu Qiongxian, was added in the Southern Han Dynasty.
If she could really win over Fan Huzi and let her say something for the gods, she might be able to listen as the king of Southern Han was so stupid.
Cao Bin hurriedly asked: How can we win over these people?What conditions are needed?
Lu Duan looked calm and composed, as if he had forgotten all the last time he was scolded for making a statement, and said: Don't want anything.
He continued: Just wake her up.
Cao Bin asked again: Which sentence?
Lu Duan said: When the Xing Palace was destroyed, the lord of the Southern Han Kingdom might be granted the title of king and marquis. How could she escape?
After hearing this, Cao Bin walked a few steps in the tent, turned around and looked at Lu Duan and said: Lu Qianniu went to Prince Xing's Mansion as an envoy. If he could do it, he would definitely ask for me personally!
Lu Duan looked embarrassed and seemed to not want to do this job... Cao Bin knew the reason very well. Now the Zhou army is fighting with the Southern Han army. No matter what, going to the capital of the Southern Han Kingdom will definitely be at risk of life.
Cao Bin advised again: Can Lu Qianniu know that Lu Duosun is like this?Judging from my general, Lu Duosun will become the prime minister sooner or later.
Then Lu Duan said: The lower officials are very frank about fame and fortune.However, since this plan comes from the mouth of the lower officials, it is not convenient to refuse to others.
Cao Bin nodded and praised: Lu Qianniu understands the truth very well.
Lu Duan said: To be honest, the subordinate is quite a confused person.
...More than a month later, the Lord of Southern Han suddenly changed his attitude and sent a letter to express his willingness to surrender!Cao Bin looked at Lu Duan with admiration for a moment.
When he met Lu Duan again, Cao Bin said: Fan Huzi and others are not short of money. The Great Zhou court was not a Southern Han Dynasty, so it was impossible to give a woman who pretended to be a ghost.In addition to asking for protection of her wealth and life, what conditions did Lu Qianniu agree to Fan Huzi?
Lu Duan bowed: Fan Huzi wants to meet His Majesty with his entourage.
that's all?Cao Bin frowned and pondered for a moment, and asked again, "What's your appearance when you see Fan Huzi?"
Lu Duan said: Half-old Xu's mother likes to dress up as a man.
Cao Bin was even more puzzled and asked Lu Duan.
Lu Duan replied: The lower-ranking officials are confused and don’t understand why.
Cao Bin couldn't figure it out and said: As long as it is not retreating, you can find a way to find other conditions.Although the order was not requested at this time, if His Majesty met him, he would save him from more casualties and obtain a large amount of wealth and goods from the Southern Han treasury. His Majesty would definitely agree.
Lu Duan said: The lower officials think so too.
……
The war in Southern Han Dynasty ended, and the intensity of the war was not fierce.When Guo Shao received the good news, his troops had already entered the Central Plains and were about to arrive in Beijing soon.
At this time, the integrity has entered autumn, and the east wind is blowing in the sky, and there is already a chill.However, the time for this Western Tour was clever, and it was just right to leave the northwest, otherwise the northwest would be even colder now.
After Cao Bin captured Shaozhou, Guo Shao just looked at the map and knew that the Southern Han Kingdom had no beginning.Now that the news has come, he is not surprised, but he is hit very quickly, which makes him more surprised.
Wei Renpu, Lu Duosun and others who accompanied him entered the camp to congratulate the victory.
Some people mentioned the Wu Yue Kingdom. Now the Wu Yue Kingdom is lonely in the southeast, but there is still no intention to surrender.
A general asked for an order to lead troops to siege Wu and Yue with Cao Bin, but Guo Shao refused without hesitation: There is no need.
Guo Shao said after a moment: When our dynasty conquers Youzhou, Wu Yue Kingdom will not take the initiative to surrender, that is, it means that it is not clear about the current affairs; now the attack will be in vain.
After hearing this, everyone fell silent all of a sudden. Because of Guo Shao's intention, he had already made a decision to make another Northern Expedition!
After a while, Wei Renpu and others discussed the rewards for their merits.
Guo Shao's eyes suddenly turned to Lu Duosun, without any worries. Lu Duosun should definitely be promoted this time.There are also Cao Bin and others who are very clear in rewards, just according to the size of the credit.
Some people who are not easy to get promoted, such as Wei Renpu has worked hard to preside over the Western Tour, and can be given a reputational position and increase his salary.
There was only one person, which made Guo Shao feel a little difficult: Miss Lu.
Although the Southern Han Dynasty was weak, Cao Bin was not lucky this time and was trapped by miasma.If it weren't for Miss Lu's little sister, it would be unpredictable what the outcome of the Battle of the Southern Han Dynasty would be.
Lady Lu is a woman, and she cannot be granted an official position, and she is not married yet.But Guo Shao was very grateful to her in his heart. He couldn't tell the difference between gratitude and grudges, but he knew very well that those who really had kindness to him.
Appointing concubines in the palace?
Now the position of the fourth wife in the first and second is full, and Mrs. Lu is at most a concubine.
According to Guo Shao's opinion, except for the concubines with higher status, how different are the other palace ladies and concubines? And once they have a status, they are locked up in the palace all their lives, is it really a good thing for Lu Lan?
Many folk women still want to enter the palace. If they make a name in the palace, it would be a great thing... That's because ordinary women lack wealth and food, so they care.
Guo Shao sat in the upper position and thought to himself: How to repay her?
