"It's this person again, don't let me catch him, otherwise, he will definitely cut him into pieces to vent my hatred."

He was defeated before, and he was the majestic king of a country. He was almost chased into a dog by him, but now he came to fight against him again, and he hated it in his heart.

Empress Dowager Xiao shook her head, helplessly rubbed her temples and said:

"I can always hear the name Cao Bin these days. Could it be that he is also planning this time?"

As she spoke, she waved her hand and said:

"Okay, let's appease Song Guo first, and then think of other ways to spend money."

Emperor Liao sighed: "I heard that Emperor Song is seriously ill, but why is he still alive? It's good that he is dead now..."

After discussing the country's affairs, the Empress Dowager Xiao looked at this confidant female official who joined hands with her daughter to cheat her own property...

Not long after, Yang Zongbao was relieved when he learned that the Liao Kingdom had sent a second wave of peace envoys.

It's not that he doesn't want to take advantage of this opportunity to attack Liao on a large scale, but the situation in Song Dynasty is not good now, and he doesn't have much spare power at all.

If there is an all-out war with the Liao Kingdom, it will be desperate. One of the two countries will completely fall, and the other forces will be cheaper.

The imperial court will not allow such a situation to happen, and Cao Bin and the Yang family will be the culprits when the time comes to investigate the responsibility.

So he was also terrified.

Fortunately, Cao Bin was well-prepared, and only after confirming that all countries would take action, did he let himself enter Liao to plunder.

This army seems to be full of dangers, but it is actually very safe, and the cooperation of all parties is also very timely.

Thinking of this, Yang Zongbao couldn't help sighing:

"Cao Bin is a kind man!"

In the past, following other people's orders was to force oneself to stand up, not to mention reinforcements, sometimes even the supply of food and grass was insufficient, and they rarely cared about the life and death of soldiers.

Although in this country, it is the responsibility of warriors to retreat from the enemy and fight to the death, but sometimes it is inevitable to feel chilled.

The plan to cooperate with Cao Bin is different.

He considered the situation of the frontline soldiers from the very beginning, and the task only required the soldiers to do what they could, and even suggested that he could retreat at any time.

This makes people feel ironed.

Jiao Tinggui didn't agree with Yang Zongbao's words at all, and joked:

"Zong Bao, are you stupid? That kid Cao Bin is the most slippery and treacherous, yet you call him kind?"

As he spoke, he touched his lower body and said:

"Damn, that kid broke two of my ribs while I was drunk, how kind!"

Then, he took a sip of water and said:

"However, since he made me enjoy fighting the war this time, I forgive him."

After finishing speaking, he approached Yang Zongbao and whispered excitedly:

"This time the credit is not small. How do you think the court will reward you? Can you be promoted?"

"Zong Bao, you personally lead the troops to go deep into the Liao territory, and you will probably be promoted to Marquis!"

Hearing this, Yang Zongbao was also a little yearning. After being suppressed by his wife for so many years, he was finally about to catch up.

Although Mu Guiying's Huntianhou is just an unhereditary title, but after being suppressed by his wife for so many years, he always feels a little uncomfortable.

Hangtown is an irregular rectangle.

A main street runs from north to south, the closer to the mansion on Phoenix Mountain to the south, the more prosperous it is.

The Wang family is located in the middle of Fenghuang Mountain, covering an area of ​​more than ten acres, with wind curtains and emerald curtains, and beautiful scenery. It is a first-class geomantic treasure.

After negotiating countermeasures with Hangzhou Zhizhou and others, Patriarch Wang felt that his health was much better.

After everyone left, he suddenly became interested, changed his clothes, and walked towards the East Kuayuan by himself.

"Master, you are still sick, why are you getting up?"

A beautiful young woman in her twenties came out with a three-year-old boy and saluted.

Patriarch Wang nodded, walked towards the courtyard and said:

"It's okay, the old man is much better."

After walking into the hall, he suddenly turned around to look at the young woman and said:

"Mr. Li, this old man has already decided to deal with Cao Bin."

The young woman froze for a moment when she heard the words, and suddenly showed surprise:

"master......"

Saying that, he hurriedly sent his servants to take the boy out, then he put his arms around Patriarch Wang's neck, sucked that old face and said:

"Master, thank you!"

Patriarch Wang wanted to push her away, but he couldn't give up after all, he put his arms around her waist and smiled wryly:

"Cao Bin is too rampant, otherwise, I don't want to be an enemy of him."

The young woman unconsciously showed a contemptuous smile, but immediately covered it up and said:

"Cao Bin ruined my concubine's family and family, even my sister who entered the palace was forced to death by him."

"There is also my husband, he is your eldest son, he was hacked more than 30 times by a thief, and he is inseparable from Cao Bin."

"With such a deep hatred, even if the master wants to reconcile, how can Thief Cao feel at ease?"

Patriarch Wang sighed and said:

"Forget it, since he refuses to reconcile, let's fight."

As he spoke, he showed a ruthless expression:

"A strong dragon does not overwhelm a local snake. The old man wants to let him know who is in charge of Jiangnan."

"If he doesn't want to flee back to the capital in despair, he has to marry his daughter."

"At that time, that girl's title will also fall to our family."

In his opinion, Cao Bin's love for his daughter is just talking.

At that time, if he had to choose between Future and his daughter, he would definitely choose Future.

The young woman looked at him speechlessly, and said:

"Let my son marry his daughter? No way!"

"I want Cao Bin to die in Jiangnan."

Seeing the dark and crazy look on her face, the old man jumped in his heart and said hastily:

"Cao Bin is considered to be a high-ranking and powerful minister now. He is an important minister in the court and can only use official means. Don't mess around!"

Hearing the words, the young woman immediately covered up the cruelty in her eyes, smiled mildly, stretched out her hand and grabbed it down and said:

"My concubine likes to mess around, and the master puts all the sticks in my hands."

Patriarch Wang suddenly lost his soul, his eyes shot green light and said:

"You little temptress, brother Li should have let you into the palace, not your sister..."

At this time, Shi Qian was also reporting the detailed information of the Wang family to Cao Bin.

After hearing this, Cao Bin realized that he had a close relationship with the Wang family and had a long-standing enmity.

The eldest son of the Wang family and Cai Xiao, the son of Cai Jing, were classmates at the Imperial College. Fang Baihua captured him alive when he was running a newspaper in Xiangyang.

Later, he was tricked by Cai Xiao, causing Fang Baihua to cut him more than 30 times, and he died a bit miserable.

The prince's wife is not a simple person either.

Li Tang who died in Xixia was her uncle, and Li Meiren was her cousin.

Just like this, Patriarch Wang still wants him to marry his daughter, which shows that he has bad intentions.

Cao Bin suddenly felt that it was too cheap to just give him a big tease.

Later, Shi Qian said:

"Master Hou, we found that there is something wrong with the public opinion in Hangzhou."

"Many local people said that the refugees outside the city were brought here to eat them."

"There is also some bad talk among the refugees and the military..."

Cao Bin nodded and said:

"I see, you continue to let people investigate, it is best to find the source of the rumor."

He has roughly understood the method of the Wang family, which is nothing more than joining together to exclude him and suing the court.

If it gets more serious, maybe a mutiny will be planned.

Sure enough, two days later, Bao Zheng came to look for it in a hurry with a memorial, handed it to Cao Bin and said:

"This is the book of Wanmin given to me by Hangzhou officials."

"I want me to sign my name and impeach you together... What does Zhong Jinghou say?"

Cao Bin took a look at the book of Wanmin, and saw that except for the local officials, there were gentry behind him, and the head of the Wang family was the first in line.

It said that Zhong Jinghou detained refugees for no reason, treated soldiers harshly, and wanted to seize the people's land and so on, which caused anger and resentment.

After reading it, Cao Bin couldn't help laughing and said:

"Good guy, a group of officials and gentry represent all the common people?"

"The Book of Ten Thousand Peoples doesn't have 1 people?"

"Lord Bao, if you dare to cheat in the memorial, do you want to be convicted of deceiving the emperor?"

Bao Zheng was speechless, and found that Cao Bin's focus was always so unique, so he said seriously:

"Zhong Jinghou, don't underestimate the local public opinion."

"If the imperial court thinks that you have aroused public anger, no matter whether it is true or not, the imperial court will respond to appease the local people."

As he spoke, he glanced at Cao Bin and said:

"Also, what are you doing to detain so many refugees?"

"Not to mention that Hangzhou doesn't have so much food, the laws of the Song Dynasty also stipulate that if the local people delay the farming season and flee from their hometown for a hundred days, the land will be given to others."

"Could it be that you really want to forcibly annex the land of these states?"

Cao Bin said:

"What does Cao need so much land for? These gentry and aristocrats are always staring at the land."

"They claim to pass on farming and reading to their families. This reading is nothing more than hiding knowledge. Now that books are cheap and easy to buy, they have no support. Naturally, they have to work hard on farming and calligraphy."

"Will they cultivate it themselves? It's just for food land."

Bao Zheng looked at Cao Bin seriously, and said in surprise:

"I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful about state affairs. Could it be that you are also interested in innovation?"

This surprised him a bit. He didn't expect Cao Bin, a general of the Wu Xun family, to have such ambitions. ,

Cao Bin shook his head and said:

"Master Bao is overrated, Cao didn't think too much about it."

"At least the things in front of us can still be done well."

"For example, shouldn't the West Lake be dredged? That's why Cao made so many refugees wait for enough food and grass."

Jiangnan's economic conditions are so good that he couldn't help but want to try his idea.

At least the West Lake should be repaired. ,

He also inadvertently guessed a trick and asked Wu Song and Lu Zhishen to build the manor beside the West Lake.

I thought I had picked up a bargain, but I didn't expect that Su's big beard hadn't appeared yet, and there was no Su Causeway. After all these years of silt accumulation, the West Lake was really ugly.

So the first thing is to change your living environment.
