In March, the northern land is still late spring, but the southern part of Lingnan is already filled with heat.

In the second year of Chang'an, the weather in Jiaozhou was much hotter than in previous years. It was so hot that it was so unacceptable before summer began.

The heat in Lingnan is not the same as the heat in the north.

At this time, rain is getting more frequent, making the air always smell a little wet.

Sitting in the house, it was like being in a sauna, even if you didn't move, you would sweat all over your hair.

Yang Shouwen simply took off his coat, wearing only a half-arm sweatshirt, half-open, and was still sweating.

He held a palm-leaf fan in one hand and looked through the official documents.

The rebels were gradually on the verge of collapse, and Huan Yanfan was fighting steadily, constantly compressing the rebels' living space. At first, many local natives were secretly helping. However, after Huan Yanfan's extremely brutal massacre at the end of February, the natives recognized the situation and dared not be related to the rebels anymore, and even began to assist the official army.

What is the biggest advantage of the rebels?

It was in this Jiaozhou that they had people and people. Most of them had close ties with the natives. Once they lost the assistance of the natives, they would feel like they were bound to their hands and feet. Again, after the Qingming Festival, Huan Yanfan increased the encirclement and suppression. At the same time, Wang Yuangui landed near the sea, conquered the rebels' nest in one fell swoop, and compressed the rebels into Aizhou.

Gan Yong was seriously injured and was unable to continue commanding.

This made the rebels even worse and became fragmented.

"Duke Huan's strategy is excellent!"

After reading the official documents, Yang Shouwen couldn't help but sigh.

He said to Zhu Huan: "If a strong attack is launched at this time, the rebels might be anxious to jump over the wall, unite again, and resist desperately. Although the result is the same, for us, there is too much casualties, and there is really no need... Duke Huan surrounded him and did not attack, and the rebels had no leader. Unless there is another Gan Feng, it is impossible to turn the situation around."

Zhu Huan nodded slightly, but showed a different expression.

Sumoer couldn't help but say, "Mr. Zhu, do you disagree with Alang's opinion?"

Yang Shouwen now has two relatives, one Yang Moli and the other Su Moer. Yang Moli is simple-minded. As long as no one hurts Yang Shouwen, he basically doesn't care about anything. As long as he follows Yang Shouwen's side, he can be satisfied.

But Su Moer hopes to go further and get the appreciation of Yang Shouwen.

He knew very well that in terms of trust, he could not compare with Yang Moli, and was even more unlikely to receive the kind of attention Yang Moli was given.

Therefore, he hoped to gain Yang Shouwen's appreciation in another way, such as maintaining Yang Shouwen's prestige. Mingxiu had left beside Yang Shouwen, so there were only Sun Chuxuan, Huan Daochen and Zhu Huan. Sun Chuxuan was a steadfast way. Huan Daochen was a child of an official, and Su Moer could not provoke him, so he did not want to have any conflicts with these two people.

In contrast, Zhu Huan appears to be very weak.

He is a Feiwu barbarian, and he is not particular about the details and is a bit unrestrained. He often has disputes with Yang Shouwen.

This also made Su Moer very dissatisfied...

Yang Shouwen raised his hand and interrupted Su Moer's words.

He gently shook the palm-leaf fan and looked at Zhu Huan and said, "Old Zhu, if you have something to say, don't pretend to be a god."

Zhu Huan immediately smiled, looked at Su Moer, and then said, "Although Gan Yong is not as good as Gan Feng, in this situation, he has been dealing with us for nearly three months, which is considered a skill. Alang, I was just thinking about what plans would I make if I was Gan Yong and now the defeat is determined? Although he is unable to command, he may not have considered a retreat."

"Hmm?" Yang Shouwen's eyes froze, and he couldn't help but nod in agreement, "What do you think Gan Yong will do?"

"Stay the green mountains here, and you won't be afraid of burning firewood."

Zhu Huan said in a deep voice: "Alang must be wary of it. Gan Yong is planning for the future when the situation is now over."

Yang Shouwen pondered silently, just sat upright on the couch chair, showing a meditative look.

"Mole!"

"exist!"

"You go to Changzhou immediately and visit Duke Huan.

Just say, let him be careful of the rebels' surrender... The wildfires cannot be burned, and the spring breeze has grown again. Now that we have reached this point, we will cut off the weeds and remove them, and do not leave any future troubles."

Su Moer was a little confused, but he nodded and agreed.

Seeing him leaving, Yang Shouwen then stood up and laughed at Zhu Huan, "Lao Zhu, why are you competing with a child at such an old age?"

Zhu Huan said: "Alang, Mole has ambitions.

You are calm and indulgent to your subordinates, which is a good thing. But if you don’t have any rules, when those ambitions can no longer be suppressed, there will be a lot of trouble. I’m not saying that Mole is not good, I just want him to be honest."

After hearing this, Yang Shouwen frowned slightly.

What Zhu Hua said is not unreasonable.

"Alang, this rebellion is over, I am afraid that it will be the time when you return to the capital of God.

Once you return to the capital of God, you will definitely be valued. At that time, you will no longer be the current Yang Jun, but the prince’s confidant and his majesty’s close minister. Maybe you can’t be powerful, but you will also have a lot of authority. In addition, you are from the Yang family of Hongnong, and you are more literary and famous all over the world. Every word and action will be paid attention to, so you need to be more careful."

Yang Shouwen, silent!

After a long time, he whispered: "Lao Zhu, you are afraid you have been looking for opportunities to say these things these days."

Zhu Huan smiled slightly and did not answer.

Yang Shouwen no longer talked about this topic, but just nodded at Zhu Huan to show that he understood.

"I made an appointment with Mrs. Rong from Fuqian Street to have a drink yesterday, so I won't be with Alang anymore... Well, if there is anything, I'll go to Mrs. Rong's house to find me."

Zhu Huan walked out lazily, looking careless.

Yang Shouwen looked at his back and couldn't help but smile and shook his head...

Zhu Huan has his own reasons for this. Although he doesn't like his appearance very much, Yang Shouwen doesn't want to change him.

If he has his own concerns, he will have his reasons.

So, Yang Shouwen just let him go, as long as he doesn't cause trouble.

At night, a thunderstorm suddenly came.

By dawn, the rain weakens and turns into a drizzle.

Yang Shouwen accompanied the young lady for a while and then returned to the study. This rain made the weather much cooler.

However, such heavy rain will inevitably increase the difficulty of the war in Aizhou.

Yang Shouwen knew he couldn't be anxious, but he was still a little irritated by the delay of the war.

"Brother, someone is looking for it outside."

The young lady is very sensible and never disturbs Yang Shouwen when she is doing things.

But today...

Yang Shouwen raised his head, looked at the young lady in confusion and said, "Who is looking for me?"

The young lady looked solemn, without any smile on her usual day, and said softly: "It's a female crown, she looks very weak, but I can feel it. She is very powerful... She speaks very loudly and says she wants you to see her..."

Women's crown?

Yang Shouwen's first reaction was Li Guer.

You know, he didn't know any female crown, and to some extent, he was very disharmonious with the Taoist people. He wrote a Journey to the West, and then became a monk and became a monk under Master Shenxiu. He was considered a Buddhist. Apart from Li Guer, he really couldn't remember, and he knew any Taoist people... Even in the Taiwei Palace in Luoyang, Yang Shouwen rarely interacted with the other party.

Very awesome? Women's crown?

Yang Shouwen stood up and said, "I'll go and have a look now."

"Brother, I'll go with you?"

Yang Shouwen thought for a while and nodded, "Okay, come with me."

He took his young lady through the corridor and came to the front courtyard of the county government.

The vestibule was very lively.

Jiaozhi is now in a mess and has endless things to do, so the officials in the yamen are very busy and step by step.

And in the patio, a woman stood with her crown on her hands.

She was wearing a moon-white Taoist robe and a high crown on her head, showing her outstanding appearance.

Standing there, it seemed as if a crane stood out from the crowd, very conspicuous. When Yang Shouwen saw the other party, he immediately recognized her identity.

Mingxi?

He quickly took two steps and arrived at the other side, "Master Ming, don't be fine."

Yang Shouwen did have nothing to do with the Taoist sect, but he forgot that the Ming clan was not only a wealthy family in Jiangzuo, but also one of the five great heavenly masters in Jiangzuo back then. From this perspective, his relationship with the Taoist sect is very close.

Two years ago, in Changzhou, Yang Shouwen and Mingxi met.

Since then, the two have no contact. Mingxiu occasionally mentions Mingxi, but most of them are vague. Yang Shouwen only knows that after Mingxi hunts treasure in Changzhou, he went to Longhu Mountain to practice, and then travels to Bashu, with his whereabouts...

Previously, when Yang Shouwen conquered the Liaozi army, Mingxiu had a mountain and river topographic map of Lingnan Road, which was said to be from Mingxi. But apart from that, Yang Shouwen had no news about Mingxi... By the way, I heard that she and Zhang Shilong had an engagement, but they didn't know what the situation is now.

Mingxi still had an indifferent expression and nodded to Yang Shouwen.

"Someone wants to kill you!"

She followed Yang Shouwen to the study of Houya and sat down. Without waiting for Yang Shouwen to speak, she said straight to the point.

"ah?"

Yang Shouwen was stunned when he heard this, looked at Mingxi in confusion and said, "Who wants to kill me?"

Mingxi's eyes were cold, and he looked at him and then at the young mother beside Yang Shouwen.
