"I don't know! Only the head coach knows about this... It's a pity that there are four head coaches in this battle."

Wu Haogu still couldn't give a positive or negative answer. Because he was not the head coach of the Lingzhou Battle this time, and there were too many head coaches this time, so there were too many things out of control.

"Then..." Su Che paused, "Will we fight with the Khitans?"

"It's hard to say about small friction, but there won't be a big war." Wu Haogu gave the answer this time, "No matter whether Tao Jiefu can conquer Lingzhou or not, the Khitans will not go to war with us."

"How can I see it?" Su Che asked.

Wu Haogu smiled: "Because they can't beat the three-director elite."

"Can't beat it?"

"Dalang, don't joke."

Su Che and Su Dongpo, who were almost ill, were all surprised. The Khitans are so fierce! How could they not defeat the Three Direct Elites of the Song Dynasty?

Wu Haogu said firmly: "If you can't beat it, you can't beat it!"

The Khitans take 500,000 from us every year, and a group of nobles also make a lot of profits from Jiehe Market. Therefore, the determination to start a war will not be easy, but will only test it on the Hetao grassland first. If you are beaten up by the imperial horse in front of the palace, you will naturally retract... So Mr. Ziyou doesn't have to make any concessions, just keep your righteous words and teach the Khitans a lesson."

Wu Haogu, who can’t fight, can be a Wanyan Xie, who can fight well. Can those super fierce Khitans become fierce when they meet Wanyan Xie?

If they really dared to push over 100,000 troops, Wanyan Xie and the Knights with the Royal Horse might not work.

But how dare the Khitans do that? The Song Dynasty has now produced the Khan of Heaven... I am not convinced by the treatment! Does Yelu Yanxi want to try the Khan of Heaven?

Moreover, the Khitans received 500,000 yuan from the Song Dynasty every year, and their nobles made a fortune from Jiehe Market. Where can they start a war easily? The loss of starting a war is great! It must be tested. At that time, Wanyan Xie and Yuma will go straight to deal with it, and there will be no more.

Wu Haogu paused and said to Su Dongpo: "Mr., just keep your care. Mr. Liao will definitely return with honor, and Hebei will not be in trouble... At least before the Jiehe River is frozen, the Khitans dare not covet Jiehe Market.

After all, on the water surface, the Khitans' military power is not worth mentioning! As for the war in the northwest, it is unknown whether Lingzhou can be descended. However, Xia, You, Yan and Hejian grasslands should be able to be taken down, and the Khitans dare not invade.

So it is certain to win this battle, it’s just a matter of how much you win.”

Su Che frowned, "Do you want to be a cheaper Cai Jing?"

Su Dongpo smiled coldly: "It depends on whether Lingzhou can be defeated!"

...

"Cai Qing, Su Qing, please stay."

The next day, when the Chongzheng Palace summoned the meeting, Zhao Ji called the names of Cai Jing and Su Dongpo, and asked them to stay and continue to ask questions.

Both prime ministers sat on the scepter in the hall, waiting for Zhao Ji to ask questions. Zhao Ji took out two notes from a stack of memorials on the imperial table, and handed them to Su Dongpo and Cai Jing to watch.

Su Dongpo first took a book and opened it and found that it was the memorial that Lu Yihao proposed that the imperial guards enter Jiehe Shang City and promoted Jiehe Shang City to Jiezhou.

Cai Jing picked up a book and opened it. It was Zhang Ke, the newly promoted supervisor, who played the role of Wu Haogu, who was secretly planted forces in Jiehe Shangshi, and had ill-gotten plots.

After reading it, Su Dongpo and Cai Jing exchanged memorials with each other and started to read it carefully.

"I and Wu Dalang were having dinner in Chongzheng Hall yesterday, and I had already asked him what he meant." Zhao Ji's voice was puzzled, "But he dared not accept the orders of the magistrate of the magistrate. Cai Qing, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty, only Wu Haogu can do things in the magistrate of the ranks and states." Cai Jing said carefully, "If he is unwilling to take over, then he can only agree to it later."

Cai Jing was not stupid. He knew that it was not the time to take down Jiehe Market. Because no one dared to be the magistrate of Jiezhou, Lu Yihao, who made this opinion, dared not go himself.

Moreover, if this matter was raised during the Chongzheng Palace, it would definitely be unanimously opposed. Even Cai Jing's younger brother Cai Bian would also object! Hundreds of thousands of Khitan cavalry went south was not a joke! The political battle could not really attract the Khitan cavalry, otherwise everyone would be dead.

However, through Lu Yihao's memorial, Cai Jing still understood what Zhao Ji meant. Zhao Ji still wanted to turn Jiehe Shangshi into Jiezhou... and Wu Haogu obviously did not want to hand over Jiehe Shangshi.

This is the opportunity to overthrow Wu Haogu! Even if you can’t beat him now, you will definitely beat him in the future!

"Jiehe Shangshi was built by the late emperor to attack Liao," the sickly Su Dongpo coughed and said, "It is not easy to have reached the scale of today in less than six years since the construction of Yuanfu started in the second year of Yuanfu. However, Wu Haogu is inevitably impatient and radical in doing things, and the market has huge interests, so it is not easy to settle all aspects. Besides, the market has to be under the knife of the Khitans, and anyone who can save their lives there. Zhang Kegong's luxury house in Jiehe Shangshi is actually very strict.

So if you have to go through it carefully, you will always find a handle."

His words were also detrimental, which clearly meant that Zhang Kegong and Wu Haogu used their power to slander because of conflicts of interest.

"By the way," Zhao Ji nodded slightly, "Zhang Kegong's family is also a shareholder of Jiehe Commercial Market, right?"

"There are still people in the Zhang family who are the veterans of the Shang market," Su Dongpo, "and his family and the Wu family have always been in disagreement, and they are two factions in the Jiehe Senate."

"Why are they not harmonious?" Zhao Ji asked.

Su Dongpo said: "A businessman is for profit."

Cai Jing said: "But Zhang Kegong is a scholar-official."

Su Dongpo smiled and said, "The shareholders and veterans of the market are still running more than a dozen deals, and they are holding commercial real estate worth hundreds of thousands of yuan... Is this a scholar-official?"

"That's not Zhang Kegong's property, but Zhang's family's property."

Su Dongpo said: "The Zhang family has not many children, so Zhang Kegong is probably quite a share? I know that he just bought a house in New West City, Kaifeng, worth 100,000 yuan!"

After hearing what Su Dongpo said, Zhao Ji also felt that Zhang Kegong's purpose was suspicious.

However, it is best to send reliable people to check it out.

...

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival.

On the night of the Lantern Festival, Kaifeng Prefecture was still shrouded in cold air.

There was also rain and snow in the evening, which caused the originally rising temperature to drop suddenly.

Wu Haogu was wearing a loose cotton robe, holding Zhang Xunbao in his hand, and leaned against a fur-covered bed. There was also a charcoal stove burning inside the room to prevent the cold from coming in from outside the room.

The long articles in the Xunbao are all about praising Taiwei Gao. These are all written by the editors of Xunbao based on Wu Haogu's instructions. Wu Haogu would not fight, and Tong Guan was disabled and strong in his body and was not suitable for praising him, so Gao Qiu became a famous general with various halos. Under the wonderful writings, Li Weigong was simply reborn!

This time no one will write Gao Qiu as a treacherous treacherous who is ignorant and can only play football, right?

Wu Haogu suddenly laughed. History was indeed written by the winner! Now Gao Qiu is the winner, so history will say good things to him.

"Why is the master laughing?"

Ximen Qing asked outside the door, lifted the thick curtain and walked in. She returned to Kaifeng Prefecture from Jiehe Shangshi two days ago. It was when Wu Haogu was in Xiangzhou that he asked someone to call her.

"Because the great achievements are about to be completed, I feel happy, so I laughed." Wu Haogu waved to Ximen Qing with a smile.

Ximen Qing turned around and picked up a cover bowl from the tray held by a little maid behind him and handed it to Wu Haogu.

The jade-colored porcelain bowl emits heat and it feels a bit hot when it comes. Uncover the lid of the bowl, there is a bowl of clear mutton noodles with a strong aroma. There are not many noodles, just two or three bites, and there are two pieces of mutton with moderate fatness and skinnyness.

This is Wu Haogu's late-night snack. Wu Haogu put the bowl on the desk in front of him, took the chopsticks, and started eating bite by bit. After a while, he finished eating and drank the soup.

"When you have enough food, you have the strength to work." Wu Haogu put down his chopsticks and looked at Ximen Qing with a smile, his eyes moving on her plump breasts. Ximen Qing was already very plump, but now because he gave birth to two sons, his figure is more plump than before.

The beautiful eyes glared at Wu Haogu with anger and anger, but his body sat down beside him and leaned softly. The Wu family now has an unwritten routine. Whoever serves Wu Haogu's turn has to be responsible for serving the midnight snack, first serving the Wu Da official for the midnight snack, and then serving with his body.

Wu Haogu smiled and said, "Let's talk about the serious business first. At the latest in summer, Jiehe Market will feel pressured. Can you control the situation by yourself, just a woman?"

Ximen Qing blinked, "It's true that I'm a woman, but with the help of Mr. Murong and Brother Anguo, how could I not be able to grasp the situation? Moreover, our strength is enough. There are 800 people in the fake group, 200 soldiers in the Jiehebaozheng, 200 people in the Water Patrol, 600 people in the police patrol, 100 knights in the Knights' Academy, and more than 300 older students can fight. In addition, the slave has also recruited 1,000 water archers from the Dadubao Institute, all of whom can shoot."

"There are 3,000 people." Wu Haogu smiled, "You can also take advantage of the tension and pull Baoding out to train... 200 Baozheng can support at least 100 teams, a large army of tens of thousands!"

"Yes." Ximen Qing replied, "With Mr. Murong here, tens of thousands of troops can definitely be trained. It's just from the court..."

Wu Haogu smiled and said, "It's okay, the court doesn't have to worry. A small market carries hundreds of thousands of Khitan cavalry, how can there be no guarantee of the family?"
Chapter completed!
