Chapter 64 Co-opted

As soon as the connoisseur stretches out his hand, there is only none.? Standing on the arrow tower and watching the siege of the Chu army for a while, the Great Emperor Guo Wei was keenly aware that the Chu army was not easy to deal with. Such a warlike army is no less than its own elite soldiers in Hebei. The Chu army came this time, claiming to be 200,000, and it is estimated that the troops of the Chu army marching and fighting should have 70,000 or 80,000 people.

Guo Wei's face was calm, but he couldn't help but sigh often in his heart, if seventy or eighty thousand people were so good at fighting like these Chu troops under the city, and wanted to rely on 30,000 frightened birds to defend Nuoda Bianjing City, it would be difficult. So, he was on the castle tower, and for a while, his determination to stand by and wait for help was shaken. So, he couldn't help but ask Li Gu. Unexpectedly, Li Gu, the trusted commander of Bianjing, would answer so categorically: I can. It's just that Li Gu put forward a condition after "I can".

As far as the current situation is concerned, as long as this condition is not too harsh, Guo Wei will never refuse. At that moment, he said with a smile: "Li Aiqing, are there any difficulties?" But if you say it's okay, you can only do it, and I'll do my best to help you. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister would like to ask Your Majesty to allow the minister to temporarily recruit troops in Bianjing City. Help our army defend Bianjing. Li Gu said.

After all, Guo Wei is a veteran of the battlefield, and he immediately understood Li Gu's intentions: Li Gu must have felt that there were too few defenders in the city, and he wanted to increase his troops. Guo Wei pondered for a moment and looked at Li Gu carefully: "Li Aiqing, do you think it is really useful to temporarily recruit some people?" When the army fights, fights to the death, will these people ... Guo Wei paused and didn't say anything more, but the meaning was obvious: these flat-headed people, if you let them transport grain and grass and build city walls, it is naturally okay, but if you want to drive them to the battlefield to fight, I'm afraid it will have no effect. In the past, the violent Qin poisoned the world, and the heroes of Shandong rebelled, and Qin II had no choice but to use Zhang Han, but Zhang Han did not organize an army from the people of Guanzhong, but directly released the prisoners of Lishan, organized an army, and relied on them to kill Xiang Liang and besiege Handan. In other words, if you really want to go to the battlefield, it is much better to use those death row prisoners who have fought and fought than ordinary people.

"Your Majesty's worries, the minister knows. The ministers wanted to recruit soldiers, but they only chose strong men from among the people, but the main soldiers did not come from the people. Li Gu said with a smile.

Guo Wei was stunned for a moment, and secretly wondered in his heart: It's not from the people, so where does it come from?

Looking at His Majesty the Emperor's puzzled gaze, Li Gu explained with a smile: "Your Majesty, you also know that before the Great Zhou Dynasty, the world was disturbed, mobs arose, and thieves were numerous. In order to ensure safety, large families often recruit a large number of strong samurai to serve as bodyguards and guardians, and those court officials are like this. In Bianjing City, there are thousands of large families, even if there are only ten people in each family, it is 10,000 horses. These people are roaming the rivers and lakes, living a life of licking blood from the knife edge, and treating fighting as a daily routine, if they are organized, it will be a considerable force. Even if they don't have the skills to fight in large armies, we are defending the city, not the field. It just waved their characteristics of high martial arts, fierce and ruthless, and avoided the advantage of the Chu army's large corps in field battles... ”

"Wonderful... Wonderful. Hehe, Li Aiqing, her heart is as careful as ah. At such a critical juncture, you can still pay attention to some people's livelihood and people's livelihood, and you deserve to be a good prime minister for me! I immediately issued an edict to let the court officials and wealthy merchants organize their own homes and nurseries, and all of them will be under your command. That's right... Don't let them garrison these dangerous places at the city gates. Guo Weilong's face was happy, and he agreed to Li Gu's request, but thinking of the infiltration of the Chu State into the Great Zhou, he had to keep an eye on it, so as not to be confused by the gap between the Chu State and open the city gate, then it would be too late to regret it.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that at this moment, it is not easy to issue an edict, so it is better to blow the wind first in the court meeting, and let the hundred officials take the lead in contributing to the family and the nursing home, so that those merchant families have nothing to say. Lest... Li Gu persuaded on the side.

Guo Wei immediately woke up, at noon that day, Guo Wei followed the opportunity of the noon dynasty to explain the situation in the world to the ministers, of course, in Guo Wei's mouth, Xiang Xun of Hebei and Guo Rong of Guanzhong will immediately lead the army to rescue Bianjing, the rivers and mountains of the Great Zhou Dynasty are stable, and now they are just encountering some difficulties, requiring hundreds of officials to unite tightly together, work with one heart and one mind, and tide over the difficulties together. In fact, Guo Wei's words are just nonsense, purely to appease the officials. Xiang Xun was just sent by him to supervise Hebei, but Xiang Xun's main task was not to rectify and transfer the Hebei army and go south to rescue Bianjing, but to wait for the Hebei people in Yecheng, so that Liu Chong and the Khitans in Hedong would have no gaps. Bianjing is important, but if Hebei is lost, can Bianjing still be held? Don't say that Bianjing is over, and whether Guanzhong can be held has become a problem. And the only reinforcement in Bianjing City is only Guo Rong in Guanzhong.

After Guo Wei's words were finished, Li Gu stood up, first praised Guo Wei's commanding military strategy, and then took the lead in expressing his loyalty to the Great Zhou Dynasty, and finally euphemistically proposed that at present, the Chu army and thieves are rampant, and he wants to contribute all the family members of his home care home, join the army, help the imperial court guard Bianjing, and defeat the Chu army as soon as possible.

After Li Gu finished speaking, Wang Pu, Wei Renpu and other important ministers of the court also stood up one after another and contributed to the family. Guo Wei Longyan was happy again and rewarded Li Gu and others in public. With these important ministers of the court as support, and with the stimulation of Guo Wei's reward, all the ministers also stood up one after another to contribute to the nursing home. On the spot, a small 2ooo man came up. You know, this is only the contribution of high-ranking officials above the fourth grade, Bianjing City is the capital, there are countless officials, big and small, waiting for the wind to blow, it only took two days, Li Gu made up 20,000 horses.

In the blink of an eye, the number of people and horses in Bianjing City has nearly doubled, and there is plenty of grain and grass in Bianjing City, so it is much more difficult for the Chu army to attack the city. Due to the blockade of Bianjing City, Ma Yun outside Bianjing City did not know the changes in the city, and he thought that Zhou had only 30,000 soldiers. After the army rested for a day, Ma Yun summoned the above officials in the big tent to make military arrangements for the siege, and he wanted to fight to the death with the Zhou soldiers in order to take Bianjing City in one fell swoop.

"If you take Bianjing, the situation of unification of the world will be irreversible. I am waiting for the good news from all of you! Jack Ma finally concluded.
