Chapter 163: Pulling inside and outside the city
"Counterinsurgency? What about your horses and soldiers? ”
Su Zhiwen said: "The imperial court asked us to recruit troops along the way. ”
Zhang Shoulin believed it, and glanced at Su Zhiwen disdainfully: "I thought that there were many people in the imperial court, and the soldiers and horses couldn't be pulled out, so it was useless to keep you like this." ”
Su Zhiwen thought that Zhang Shoulin was going to kill him, and was shocked: "Don't kill me, I am the secretary of the military department, and I am of great use." ”
"Who said they were going to kill you? I will send you to the prince and let the prince dispose of it. ”
Hearing that he didn't kill himself, Su Zhiwen breathed a long sigh of relief.
"If you hand me over to the prince, he will definitely reward you heavily."
Zhang Shoulin also had this idea, he packed Zhang Shoulin and Zhao Kang and sent them to the Eastern Capital along the waterway.
Although Li Feng has not taken the entire territory of Hebei Province at present, there is no armed force in the territory that can compete with him, and the defenders in the prefecture and county cannot even protect themselves, but after the occupation, they will divide their troops and garrison them, so Li Feng is not in a hurry to take it.
The ships escorting Su Zhiwen and Zhao Kang went down the river and arrived in the eastern capital the next day, while Guo Jianzhong was still recruiting troops on the road, and the people had not even left the scope of the Beijing Division.
On the city wall of the eastern capital, Li Feng was lying on a rattan chair and looking through the personnel taxes of various states in Henan Province, with fruit refreshments in front of him, and the eldest daughter of Guo Pengyun's family, Guo Tong, was sitting next to him.
Since the last time Li Feng asked Guo Tong to go out to deliver a letter, there has been a brief peace inside and outside the city, and the people in the city can move in the city at will except for not being able to go out, and some of the former liveliness has been restored.
Guo Tong was summoned by Li Feng to serve by his side, as soon as he was used to being served, the gang of big bosses around him were really unsatisfactory.
Second, Guo Tong is Guo Pengyun's eldest daughter, and Li Feng wants to say something from her.
Third, Guo Tong is very beautiful, and he also has the temperament of a little sister next door, which makes Li Feng like it very much.
There was a bang outside the city, disturbing Li Feng's mood to check the taxes.
"Your dad is a little annoying, it's the third time today."
Guo Tong didn't answer, and the soldiers heard the movement and went to the city to stand guard, but the rumble only sounded once and there was no follow-up, and the army outside continued to shout.
Li Feng felt a little strange, walked to the city wall, and saw from a distance that Guo Pengyun's military camp was a touch of yellow, and Guo Pengyun and the others knelt in front of a eunuch.
"The court is coming, and my brother is going to come with me."
Li Feng laughed, and was about to instruct the soldiers to speed up the construction of defensive equipment, when he saw Guo Pengyun take off his clothes, be escorted into a prisoner car, and leave the barracks.
Li Feng was stunned for a moment, Guo Pengyun was dismissed? At this time? Li Yuan is afraid that he is crazy.
"Your dad was taken away."
Guo Tong hurriedly ran over and found that Guo Pengyun was really arrested, she hurriedly turned around and went downstairs, and was pulled by Li Feng: "What's the use of you going down now?" Can you save your father? ”
"What then?"
Guo Tong was like an ant on a stove, jumping up and down in a hurry.
Li Feng smiled and thought of the famous words in the small movies of later generations: "Little girl, you don't want your father to be arrested." ”
"What do you want to do?"
Guo Tong looked at Li Feng vigilantly and took a step back, but soon she showed bitterness on her face, stood in front of Li Feng again, knelt down and said, "As long as the prince can save my father, I am willing to do anything." ”
Li Feng helped Guo Tong up: "Just kidding with you, Guo Duhu is an old soldier, he is really my good general, this king really admires it, if such a person is sacrificed in the political struggle, it is too worthless, this king will send someone to save him."
It's just that you have to think about the consequences, once this king saves Guo Duhu, he won't be able to come back, you understand what I mean. ”
Guo Tong nodded, although Li Feng rebelled, the soldiers under his command were strictly disciplined, and after entering the Eastern Capital, there was no smashing and looting, but instead opened a warehouse to release grain, relieving some poor people.
Because of this, Li Feng was not bad in the eyes of the people of Dongdu, and no civil strife broke out in the city.
Li Feng called Sun Er and asked him to rescue Guo Pengyun, and by the way, he also arrested the eunuch who passed the decree and asked what the situation was on the side of the court and why he wanted to arrest Guo Pengyun.
Sun Er didn't leave immediately, he looked at Guo Tong and stopped talking.
Guo Tong left in a witty way, and Sun Er stepped forward and whispered: "I caught two more spies who came to contact the officials and gentry, and they were sent by Guo Pengyun." ”
On the surface, there was relative peace inside and outside the city, but Guo Pengyun had been quietly sending people into the eastern capital, intending to create chaos during the siege.
Guo Pengyun has been sitting in the Eastern Capital for many years, and he knows everything about the path that entered the Eastern Capital, which made Li Feng very annoyed, and he had to let the special forces and the Heaven and Earth Society search all day, but they still couldn't stop the infiltration from the outside.
A few days ago, Li Feng directly killed the spies he caught, but now it is different from the past, Guo Pengyun was arrested by the imperial court, and his tactics are useless.
"Keep those two people, and wait until you bring Guo Pengyun back and talk together."
Sun Er took people away, this kind of robbery is still more professional for them, coupled with Sun Er's force, bringing back Guo Pengyun can be said to be nine out of ten.
After Guo Pengyun left, the feint attack of the defenders outside the city stopped, and the defenders remained in the barracks at a loss, and the two sides completely entered a period of peace.
Li Feng took the opportunity to send people out to contact the generals outside, agreed to meet with their families, promised them that their official positions would remain unchanged, and that they would improve their salaries, and successfully rebelled against many generals.
The progress on Sun Er's side was also very smooth, and he successfully brought back Guo Pengyun, who had a blue nose and swollen face, and a eunuch who smelled of anger.
Seeing the two people who Sun Er tied up, Li Feng covered his nose and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"Guo Duhu insisted on going to Beijing to be tried, and was beaten by me, and the eunuch was scared to pee, and he couldn't stop ticking along the way."
Li Feng waved his hand and asked the eunuch to be taken down to wash, he stepped forward to untie Guo Pengyun's rope and bowed slightly: "Guo Duhu, don't come unharmed." ”
Guo Pengyun snorted: "Lord Wang, I won't surrender." ”
"I admire Guo Duhu's ability, as for who you are on, I don't force it. You have been separated from your family for a while, so go back and see your family, and I will visit you in person when I come back. ”
Guo Pengyun looked at Li Feng in disbelief: "Lord Wang, this is letting me go home?" ”
"Of course, but the necessary means are still needed, these people have been following this king, loyal, I will arrange for them to monitor you, if you have a small move, they will really kill people, and please Guo Du protect the honest."
Guo Pengyun snorted and was taken home by the guards.
After Guo Pengyun left, the wet eunuch was dragged up, and before Li Feng could ask, the eunuch's knees were weak and he knelt in front of Li Feng: "The prince spares his life." ”
"Shout what? Let me ask you, what did the imperial court do when he arrested Guo Pengyun and went back? ”
"Guo Duhu lost the Eastern Capital, His Majesty was furious, and arrested Guo Duhu and went back to ask for the crime."
"Then who will fight the Eastern Capital?"
"General of the town army, Guo Jianzhong."
Li Feng was stunned: "Who?" ”
