Jiyin County is adjacent to Qi County, which was occupied by Wang Bo.

Now Jiyin County is occupied by Menghai Gong. Menghai Gong Zhouqiao gathered people to revolt and controlled Cao and Dai provinces. Later, Jiang Shanhe from Yunzhou was surrendered and was strong in the army.

After Dou Jiande and Liu Heita's defeat, Duke Meng Hai got Liu Heita's general Fan Yuan to lead two thousand Hebei troops to come from Hebei, and his power increased significantly.

This time, Li Chongjiu sent an edict to ask Duke Meng Hai to express his position, which made Duke Meng Hai in a dilemma and could not sleep for several days.

Now Meng Haigong is sitting on a tiger leather chair with a big horse, and next to Meng Haigong is his wife Ma Saifei. At the beginning of the uprising, his wife helped him a lot. Once, the camp was attacked by officers and soldiers in the middle of the night. Ma Sai was flying with two swords on her back and broke out from the chaotic army.

Although Ma Saifei was not very good and had big feet, Meng Haigong respected and respected this wife, and even asked her to lead a female brigade to join the army.

Meng Haigong, under Ma Saifei, Liu Heita's general Fan Yuan on the left. When Li Chongjiu swept Hebei, Fan Yuan knew that he would be defeated, so he led his troops to escape the Yellow River and defected to Meng Haigong.

Under Fan Yuan, it was Jiang Shanhe, the general manager of Yunzhou. Jiang Shanhe was originally a minister of Yunzhou. After the rebellion at the end of the Sui Dynasty, he occupied a state of Yunzhou. However, he knew that with the power of one state, he did nothing, so he surrendered to Gong Menghai in order to protect himself and was appointed as the general manager of Yunzhou by Gonghai.

Fan Yuan and Jiang Shanhe were both generals under Meng Haigong's command, and their status was different from that of the other generals.

On the right hand of Meng Haigong was his confidant, one with a vicious face, his companion Meng Dangui. He followed Meng Haigong at the beginning of the rebellion, and another was Meng Yi. He was the son of Meng Haigong and Ma Saifei. They were all generals of Meng army, and most of them were related to Meng Haigong. They were considered to be soldiers of the Meng family.

Now Meng Haigong took Li Chongjiu's manifesto and looked over and over again. Although he was illiterate, it did not prevent him from watching the manifesto seriously.

Meng Haigong looked at the generals and asked, "Li Chongjiu sent an edict to go to Luoyang to participate in his throne ceremony. Do you think I will go or not?"

His wife Ma Saifei said, "My husband Li Chongjiu is not a good person. Wang Shichong asked him to go to Luoyang to rescue him, but he directly plotted against Luoyang and killed Wang Shichong and his son. He exiled all his clan. This man is very terrible. I am afraid that if you go to Luoyang, you will be a sheep and a tiger's mouth."

Meng Dangui said: "Brother, we finally got the territory today. It was all the brothers who raised their heads and beat them down. We were really unwilling to give our efforts to Li Chongjiu. But if we think about it carefully, it's a damn thing. If we don't surrender, I'm afraid that Li Chongjiu will be the first to attack us!

Meng Dangui's words made the generals nodded. Meng Haigong had a hard time starting a business. It was finally easy to find the land of the three states today. Li Chongjiu still felt a little unwilling to ask him to surrender with one sentence.

"But we are so close to Qi County, Li Chongjiu's troops can reach our city one night. What if we go to war with Zhao State, how likely will we win?" One of the generals also questioned.

Meng Haigong was in a dilemma. He hesitated for a while and said, "What did Xu Yuanlang say? Should he go to Luoyang?"

"I heard from the news from Yanzhou that Xu Yuanlang was about to say he was sick. But he still sent his son to Luoyang to watch the ceremony and gave him a hundred taels of gold as a gift."

When Meng Haigong heard this, he sighed and said, "The troops in Xu Yuanlang are stronger than me in territory. He sent his son to watch the ceremony. It seems that Xu, who is not afraid of heaven and earth, is still very afraid of King Zhao. This is really difficult to deal with."

"Li Chongjiu has hatred for killing the Lord. The Lord surrenders the ministers. If Gong Meng surrenders, I, Fan Yuan, will lead the army to join others!" Fan Yuan said immediately.

The generals couldn't help but feel angry after hearing this. Fan Yuan led his army to live in his place. The money and food he spent every day were all born by Meng Hai Gong, but he was respectful and arrogant. The generals had long been dissatisfied with him, but Meng Hai Gong valued him very much, and instead developed the arrogance of this person today.

But then again, if Mr. Meng Hai really wants to maintain independence, Fan Yuan’s troops will be Meng Hai’s current bargaining chips, and with him, he can resist the Zhao army one or two.

The generals on the side quickly advised: "General Fan, you must not do this. For the sake of the thin faces we have been with each other, please bear it."

"General Fan, you have something to say, don't worry."

Fan Yuan snorted and asked, "So what does the lord mean now?"

Meng Hai said righteously: "This..."

Fan Yuan said: "Mother-in-law, how happy it is."

Meng Haigong sighed and said, "Since that's the case, I won't go to Luoyang."

Seeing Meng Haigong surrender, Fan Yuan said even more arrogantly: "This is not enough. The lord might as well kill Zhao's envoy, expressing his determination to join forces with the Tang army generals in Shandong Chunyu Nan, Qi Gongshun, Zang Junxiang and others. As long as Meng Gong protects Shandong and Li Tang's army captures Luoyang, Li Chongjiu can still take care of Hebei. Shandong will be Meng Gong's territory in the future, so it is not very good."

Meng Hai said righteously: "What General Fan said makes sense. Even if he does not surrender, it is not the time to get into evil with Li Chongjiu for the time being!"

Speaking of this, Meng Hai was righteous: "Transferred to the envoy of Zhao State."

Fan Yuan heard this and said angrily: "Lord..."

"General Fan, that's it."

Seeing that Meng Haigong refused to kill the envoy of Zhao State, Fan Yuan shook his sleeves and rushed away angrily.

The envoy to Zhao's army was Xue Wanshu. After delivering the edict, he had been drinking tea outside the hall for a long time. Now he heard the summons from Meng Hai, and he calmly entered.

"I wonder what Meng Gong discussed?" Xue Wanshu went straight to the point.

Meng Haigong smiled and said, "Shishou, sit down and talk first." At this point, someone came to put a chair for Xue Wanshu to sit down.

Meng Hai said justice: "His Majesty Zhao ascended the throne in Luoyang. Meng should have gone to congratulate him and supported him, but Meng has been in a bad state recently and has no way to go."

Xue Wanshu saw that Meng Hai’s expression was unobstructed and knew it was an excuse. However, since it was an excuse, Xue Wanshu did not expose it and said: "Meng Gong is okay. There are many imperial doctors in Luoyang City. If Meng Gong wants to treat the disease, I will definitely arrange the best imperial doctor for you."

Speaking of this, Meng Haigong smiled and said, "King Zhao is interested. Meng is really inconvenient to walk. It's better to send an imperial physician here."

"It doesn't matter since Mr. Meng doesn't want to go to Luoyang." Xue Wanshu smiled.

Meng Hai public generals did not expect Xue Wanshu to expose the matter so easily, and could not help but be overjoyed.

Meng Haigong’s wife Ma Saifei became more thoughtful and said, “Don’t Mr. Xue have other conditions, right?”

Xue Wanshu nodded and said, "Madam, Xue does have other conditions. I heard that Liu Heita's former general Fan Yuan is under the position of Meng Gong. Meng Gong should not go to Luoyang, so let Fan Yuan go to Luoyang for a trip?"
