Chapter 169: Plotting the World
In the afternoon, Nangong Yuxiu left from the Eastern Capital, and Guo Tong also went home with a red face, but no one paid attention to it when he got home, and entered his room with his head down.
As a passer-by, Mrs. Guo knew when she saw her daughter's walking posture that this was really done, but the hateful thing is that the king of Youwang is really excessive, how can he do this in broad daylight? How can you be so anxious?
Guo Pengyun is not as careful as his wife, since he promised to surrender Li Feng, he has been studying the map in the study and formulating a strategy for Li Feng.
Although facing his former old club, Guo Pengyun was a little awkward at first, but with the advancement of the strategy, all he had left was excitement.
Planning for the world, this is the dream of many generals throughout the ages, and now this opportunity is his.
After Guo Pengyun finished the plan, he happily found Li Feng and reported his strategy in full.
Guo Pengyun's plan was to take the eastern capital as the foundation, divide into two routes, go all the way to Jiqu, attack Bianzhou, Xuzhou, take Yangzhou, and then advance westward to attack the Beijing division from the east.
The other road was dominated by cavalry, attacking Xuzhou by land, and Shouzhou was surrounded from the west of the Beijing Division.
The Jingshi was besieged from east to west, and there was no way to the north, so even if he ran, he could only run to the south.
Speaking of this, Guo Pengyun snorted disdainfully: "The southerners forget their righteousness when they see the benefits, and Li Yuan will definitely be caught by them when he runs to the south." ”
Li Feng is very strange, Guo Pengyun is still a regional black?
"Why is my father-in-law so prejudiced against the southerners?"
"Because I'm a southerner."
Li Feng: "......"
Guo Pengyun said hatefully: "My family is a small sect, after my father's death, the family property was divided by the relatives of the big clan, my mother had to take me to leave my hometown and come to the eastern capital to settle down, I fought for half my life, made countless meritorious contributions, and was able to be appreciated by Zhao Taiwei, and made an exception for the eastern capital Taishou ......"
Speaking of this, Guo Pengyun's tone was a little low: "Lord Wang, I know that this is a little inappropriate, but I hope that you can spare Taiwei Zhao's life at that time, after all, he is my benefactor." ”
After Guo Pengyun finished speaking, he knew that it was not suitable, how could he make a decision on such a thing, this time it was too abrupt and reckless.
But Li Feng replied quickly: "No problem, if I can, I would like to keep Taiwei Zhao, although this person has always been against me, he is outstanding." His plan to capture the Eastern Capital was discovered by him.
If he hadn't expected that I would have Turkic cavalry and men and horses arranged in advance in the Eastern Capital, I wouldn't be where I am today. ”
Guo Pengyun was overjoyed: "I thanked the prince for Taiwei Zhao." ”
"Father-in-law, don't be polite, there are still some problems with your strategy, let's study it again."
When Li Feng and Guo Pengyun were studying strategy, Guo Jianzhong finally left the Beijing division with the first batch of recruited soldiers and horses.
The imperial court's conscription order was still very efficient, and before leaving the scope of the Beijing division, Guo Jianzhong recruited 30,000 soldiers and horses, and he expected to be able to recruit 150,000 troops when he went to the eastern capital.
Coupled with the tens of thousands of troops and more than 200,000 soldiers and horses left by Guo Pengyun, it is not a problem to take the eastern capital, even if it sweeps the entire Henan Province.
Thinking that he would take the Eastern Capital, capture King You, welcome His Majesty personally, and walk to the peak of his life, Guo Jianzhong couldn't help but be complacent.
Although Guo Jianzhong fantasizes, in the end, Yu Linwei knows that the 30,000 horses are planned neatly, and the sentinels are released for ten miles, and the recruits are also trained on the way.
30,000 people stopped and stopped, when approaching Shouzhou, the Jingshi came to the fold, the men and horses who escorted Guo Pengyun were killed, Guo Pengyun was nowhere to be found, Li Yuan suspected that Guo Pengyun was rescued by King You, and asked Guo Pengyun to speed up the progress and rush to the eastern capital to check Guo Pengyun's situation.
After reading the news, Guo Jianzhong's brows were twisted into Sichuan characters, Guo Pengyun is missing, this is not good news, he is the protector of the Eastern Capital, and he is extremely familiar with the Eastern Capital, if it weren't for His Majesty's order, Guo Jianzhong really wanted to keep him by his side as a staff officer.
If such a person takes refuge in Li Feng, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Thinking of this, Guo Jianzhong was not slow to recruit troops and horses on the road, and ordered to speed up the advance, passing by the state and county along the way, ordering the state to assassinate the history, and the county and county orders were responsible for recruiting troops and horses, adopting money and grain, and sending them to the eastern capital.
The order was mandatory, and Guo Jianzhong left after giving it, which made the people in the prefectures and counties along the way miserable.
Guo Jianzhong personally selected people for the purpose of winning the battle, and the people selected were all relatively strong people, and without his personal selection, the responsible persons of the prefecture and county would have used their brains crookedly.
In the name of conscription, the governors of the prefectures and counties forced each family to send one person, and if there was a clever one, they stuffed money into them, and the military service was exempted, and those who had no money had to be obediently arrested and strong.
In this way, the task assigned by Guo Jianzhong has not been completed, and the governors of the prefecture and county have already made a lot of money.
Over there, Guo Jianzhong hurried to the eastern capital and met the generals of the eastern capital.
The imperial court and Guo Jianzhong didn't know that Guo Pengyun had taken refuge in Li Feng, but they knew it, and many people had already accepted Li Feng's solicitation, so when they saw Guo Jianzhong, their expressions were extremely unnatural.
Especially when Guo Jianzhong asked Guo Pengyun about his whereabouts, they bowed their heads in unison and kept silent.
"I ask you, are you all deaf? Do you know Guo Pengyun's whereabouts? ”
"General Hui, we don't know, after Guo Duhu left, we stuck outside the city and dealt with Youwang, I really don't know the situation outside."
Guo Jianzhong said angrily: "A bunch of waste, I don't know anything. What does the imperial court do with so much money every year to support you? ”
The eastern generals were scolded, angry but not easy to vent, and they all held their breath in their hearts.
After Guo Jianzhong finished scolding, he took people to check the situation in the eastern capital.
As the capital of the Great Qian, it is also the place of Longxing of the founding emperor of the Great Qian, and the defensive specifications of the city wall are not inferior to the Beijing Division, and even exceeded, and it is almost impossible to push it down by force.
Guo Jianzhong also had a headache after looking around, this kind of city wall is not something that can be taken by storming, either besieging the city, or like King Youwang taking the eastern capital, the inside and the outside should be combined.
The siege of the city is fighting for resources, and the eastern capital occupies a lot of land and population, but it can't fight for the resources of the entire Daqian, but Guo Jianzhong knows that His Majesty can't drag it out for so long.
The best thing to do is to work with the inside and the outside.
Guo Jianzhong thought for a while and said: "Your family members are all in the city, you say that for the sake of your family, enter the city and surrender, when I attack the city, you will take your family to respond to me internally, and you should cooperate with the outside to recapture the eastern capital." ”
The generals of the Eastern Capital, look at me, I look at you, and said in my heart that Your Majesty sent Guo Jianzhong over because he really thought that he had lived a long time, how could he be so sure that they were 100% loyal to His Majesty?
"General, we will definitely be imprisoned by King Youwang after we enter the city, how can we cooperate with you then?"
Guo Jianzhong was a little impatient: "You are all battlefield veterans, can't this little problem be solved?" This king will attack in three days' time, and you will all be ready. ”
