Li Feng thought for a while before remembering who Guo Jianzhong was, Yu Linwei Tongzhi, the unlucky guy who was cheated by him with two thousand war horses.

Such a person actually replaced Guo Pengyun and became the commander-in-chief of the front line.

Li Feng couldn't help laughing: "Heaven is still alive, Li Yuan is self-defeating." ”

The eunuch nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, yes." ”

Li Feng glanced at the eunuch in disgust: "What about Guo Jianzhong?" Why haven't you come here yet? ”

"General Guo is recruiting troops on the road, and he will come over in a few days."

There are three kinds of standing troops of the Great Cadres, the 12 guards and the four forbidden armies guarding the Beijing Division, each of the 12 guards has 10,000 people, and the four armies of Shence, Longwu, Shenwu, and Feicai are 15,000 each, and these 180,000 people are the strongest fighting force of the Great Cadres.

The defenders of Guo Pengyun in the eastern capital also belong to the guard sequence, with a total of 100,000 people, but because they are accompanying the capital, they have little connection with the Jingshi guards, so they are usually not counted.

The second is the ten major military towns and soldiers, guarding the border all the year round to prevent foreign enemies, and each military town has different numbers because of different situations.

The most subordinate is the defenders of each state, each state has a total of 1,000 defenders, except for Li Feng's Youzhou, the defenders of other states are less than 1,000.

After Li Yuan took the throne, he knew that the defenders of Youzhou exceeded 1,000 people, and ordered to strictly limit the number of defenders in each state, which made the number of defenders in each state increase, but because the state defenders had no salary and belonged to compulsory soldiers, the combat effectiveness could be ignored.

Of these three types of standing armies, the defenders have little combat effectiveness, and the other two will not be dispatched at will unless they are in a particularly urgent situation.

The increase in the number of military towns, as well as the internal counterinsurgency, the imperial court will often be temporarily recruited, after all, every cadre has the obligation to serve in the military, and for the imperial court, this is also the most economical way.

When Li Feng learned that Guo Jianzhong was still recruiting soldiers on the road, his face was full of smiles.

"Youzhou is my base camp, what arrangements does Li Yuan have for Youzhou?"

"Your Majesty... Oh no, Li Yuan sent Su Zhiwen and Zhao Kang to the Turks to persuade the Turks to cut off contact with you. ”

Li Feng's expression became nervous at this time, at present, his biggest reliance is these 30,000 Turks, if Li Yuan said that he moved Mei Lusi, he would be really dangerous.

"When did they leave?"

"They set out earlier than me, and if they had walked faster, they would have reached the Turks by now."

Li Fengda frowned, waved his hand and asked the eunuch to be escorted down.

Xiang Ran saw Li Feng's entangled expression, and took the initiative to step forward to solve Li Feng's problems: "Lord Wang, I am willing to go to the Turks to persuade Mei Lusi." ”

Li Feng patted Xiang Ran on the shoulder: "You are also kind." ”

Xiang Ran was very proud, but after Li Feng praised him, he left, Xiang Ran scratched his head, did the prince agree or not?

After going down the city tower, Li Feng summoned Sun Er: "You go out tonight to talk to the people outside, count those who are willing to surrender, and make a list." ”

Sun Er took it for granted: "I don't know much. ”

"Let them write their own names, as well as their current official positions, their fortunes, their possessions, in short, everything is very small, let them write it all."

"Okay."

Li Feng likes Sun Er very much, he never asks why he does things, he does it when he receives orders, and he is very efficient, but there is one point, he only does what he thinks is right, and his current concept was established by Li Feng for him.

In the evening, Li Feng tidied up his clothes and went to Guo's mansion for a banquet.

Li Feng attaches great importance to Guo Pengyun, because Li Feng lacks a talent who can command large-scale army operations, and Guo Pengyun is the talent that Li Feng needs.

More importantly, Guo Pengyun has been fighting in the Eastern Capital for many years, he is familiar with the Eastern Capital, as long as Guo Pengyun is allowed to surrender, other problems in the Eastern Capital can be easily solved, and it will completely become Li Feng's most important logistics base.

In order to show his proximity to the people, Li Feng wore a blue round-necked robe, looking like a scholar.

When the housekeeper of the Guo Mansion saw Li Feng coming, he turned around and shouted loudly: "The prince has arrived." ”

"It doesn't have to be so grand, just be a regular guest."

Where did the housekeeper dare to really treat Li Feng as an ordinary guest, he nodded and welcomed Li Feng into the main hall.

In the main hall, Guo Pengyun's family stood and waited, with a very respectful attitude.

Seeing Li Feng coming in, Guo Pengyun was about to kneel down as soon as he lifted his shirt, Li Feng quickly stepped forward to support Guo Pengyun: "Today I just came over to eat with a cheeky face, without the identity of the prince, everything is fine as usual." ”

Guo Pengyun didn't listen, and insisted on kneeling down for Li Feng, he had great strength, and knelt down against Li Feng's support: "The ministers and the east all protect Guo Pengyun, and they have seen King You." ”

Guo Pengyun's family also knelt down and gave Li Feng a big gift.

Li Feng's face was ugly, Guo Pengyun came here to block his solicitation, showing that he would always be the protector of the eastern capital of the imperial court.

Li Feng looked at the serious Guo Pengyun and sneered: "Guo Duhu? You are afraid that you have forgotten that you have been dismissed by Li Yuan, and you are now a sinner, not the eastern capital of the imperial court. ”

"After dinner today, the minister will leave for Beijing to be tried."

Li Feng never expected that Guo Pengyun would play such a hand with him, he pointed at Guo Pengyun angrily and was speechless for a long time.

Xiang Ran pulled out his knife and unsheathed: "Guo Pengyun, you are bold." ”

Li Feng turned around and shouted: "Put the knife away, and say that today is dinner, what to do with the knife." ”

"But, the prince ......"

"But what, put the knife away."

Xiang Ran put away the knife at this time, and retreated behind Li Feng with some resentment.

Li Feng looked at Guo Pengyun, whose face did not change, and suppressed the anger in his heart: "Okay, since Guo Duhu has made a plan, everyone has their own ambitions, and it is inconvenient for this king to stop him." ”

"Thank you for the success, the cold house has a little thin wine, and please appreciate the light."

Li Feng wanted to leave, glanced at Guo Tong, had an idea in his heart, went in and sat on the main seat, without waiting for others to speak, Li Feng filled himself with a cup, picked it up and said: "This king borrows flowers to offer Buddha today, and wishes Guo Duhu a smooth journey." ”

Guo Pengyun was a little surprised, he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Li Feng's gourd.

"The prince is generous, and the amount of tolerance is very large, and the minister is very grateful."

At the beginning of the banquet, Li Fenghe and Guo Pengyun tacitly did not mention government affairs, but just talked about the customs of Dongdu and Youzhou, the taste of food, and the atmosphere was quite active.

During this period, Li Feng's unique perspective and thoughts on things made Guo Pengyun quite staggering, and many things Li Feng said were things he didn't understand.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Li Feng pretended to be drunk, and his eyes looked at Guo Tong from time to time.

The Guo family all found out that Li Feng's eyes were wrong, Guo Tong lowered his head and pretended not to see it, but Guo Pengyun was frightened, the king of Youwang is, this is a well-known thing, he won't take a fancy to his daughter.

Sure enough, Li Feng looked at Guo Tong with drunken eyes, and did not shy away from looking at Guo Tong: "Guo Duhu, can Ai have a marriage match?" ”
