Chapter 60: Counting Baofeng (3)

What are you here for? Of course, he came to persuade him to surrender, and of course, this time the conditions were not just to pay some money and grain to Guo Junzhen.

"He Zhixian is a smart person, as a smart person, he wants to say more than he doesn't need us, and He Zhixian can naturally know what we do." Li Yan took the tea on the desk and drank it down, without the same courtesy as he had in Guo Junzhen before.

Of course, He Jiao knew Li Yan's thoughts, but he couldn't respond to this idea, so he could only say embarrassedly: "You heroes and officials know that they can't afford to be guilty, but Baofeng is just a county, and the king is ambitious, so why stick to a county?" ”

In fact, He Jiao was very annoyed with Guo Junzhen and Liu Wenbing, just let you beat you to defend the city, why are you so vicious, but now it's good, and the whole situation is endless.

"What Xia Guan means is that the money and food children in Baofeng City can be taken by themselves, but please also ask King Chuang to move elsewhere, don't stick to our chicken ribs anymore" He Jiao smiled stupidly, his eyes were obviously full of temptation.

"I thought Lord He was a smart person at the beginning, but now it seems that it's just that" Li Yan got up slowly, glanced at Li Yan playfully, then stroked his chin and said, "Who am I and Lord He knows it?" ”

"The lower official doesn't know" He Jiao was stunned when he heard this, he thought that breaking into the camp would not send the core of the army to take this risk, seeing that he was sharp-toothed, he was only a scholar who was trapped as a thief, and now such a rhetoric is not small.

"I am the military envoy of the Emperor Rujia who offered a reward of 5,000 silver for the head, Li Yan" Li Yan reported himself quite complacently.

"Li Yan! You are Li Yan! He Jiao was shocked, and stood up suddenly, he couldn't help but be surprised, Li Yan's murderous reputation had already spread in Henan, and those vicious strategies alone made the imperial court exhausted, and the reason why Li Xianfeng couldn't save Baofeng now was largely because Li Yan's previous policies were working.

"Now Lord He knows that my invasion of the army is inevitable for Baofeng" Li Yan saw He Jiao stunned, knowing that He Jiao, an official oil, didn't need to say much, so he sat down satisfied.

Li Yan's position in the army has not yet been accurately positioned, after all, it is subject to intelligence, and there is no tangible source of information for many generals in the army, but I only know that this person is very valued by Li Zicheng, and there are even faint signs of being the number one military division.

Such a person came in person, the meaning is obvious, Baofeng, breaking into the army is inevitable, and he He Jiao, the room for bargaining is not high.

Thinking of this, He Jiao slightly sorted out the net towel on his head, and said with a straight face: "Li Guanjun, the lower officials are bent on getting along with your army, but if the lower officials are guarding one side, if they are trapped in the city, the lower officials will not be able to escape death, how can they surrender lightly?" Your army also has to give the subordinate a room to turn around. ”

As a county commander, he has the responsibility of guarding the land, and if the city is lost, he He Jiao will be the first person to lose his head.

Hearing this, Li Yan smiled and said: "Lord He, this Baofeng does not keep it, you know better than anyone else, if you don't go to the road of life, you will die by yourself, is it worth being loyal to Emperor Chongzhen?" ”

While speaking, Li Yan raised his hand, and Hao Yongzhong immediately handed Guo Junzhen's saber up.

"What's more, if I come to talk to you, how can I not be 100% sure, why don't you be curious, we have entered this Baofeng City now? See if this sword is familiar? Li Yan slapped the sword on the desk with a "clang", and said loudly.

That's right! Li Yan: How did they get into Baofeng?! He Jiao remembered this serious matter, you know, Baofeng City is now in a wartime state, the gate is closed, even a bird is rare to fly in, but these people not only came, but also swaggered in, which is already very impressive.

"Guo Junzhen!" He Jiao's face suddenly changed, especially when he saw the familiar saber on the desk, how could he not be suspicious?

"These two dog thieves have a dislike for me, but it is really possible to sell themselves for glory and wealth, the martial artist is the most vulgar, and he has no faith, how can he believe it?" He Jiao thought to himself in his heart, combined with Li Yan's calm expression, he already had the courage to be confident, and he was almost sure that Guo Junzhen was bound to collude with the Chuang army.

Of course, the words still had to be tested, so He Jiao pretended to be quite incomprehensible and said: "I don't know this sword lower, besides, if the Guanjun has already convinced the soldiers in the city, why bother to come to the lower official to waste his tongue?" ”

"I don't know the saber, I always know the handwriting," Li Yan looked at He Jiao, who was pretending to be confused, and took out Guo Junzhen's "letter of apology" from his arms and handed it to He Jiao: "Lord He may wish to take a look." ”

Sure enough, the power of this letter is different, He Jiao read it at a glance, he could no longer control the anger in his heart, and scolded fiercely: "These two thieves surnamed Guo and surnamed Liu are really bad to die!" Takeo can't be trusted! Takeo can't be trusted! ”

After scolding, he realized that he was out of shape, and hurriedly said: "Since these two thieves have already attached themselves to you, why did they still come to see me?" ”

He Jiao also wondered, you have bought the army, and you can directly break the city, what is the point of persuading yourself to surrender? This operation is indeed very confusing, and He Jiao can't understand it.

Li Yan put on a pretext that had already been prepared, and said with a smile: "This General Guo and Vice General Liu have naturally promised us to surrender, but well, this asking price is really too high, how can it be possible if they want to break into the king and make him the main general?" Therefore, I took it upon myself to come to Lord He to see what Lord He thought. ”

"These two thieves don't have a small appetite!" He Jiao scolded in a low voice, then stared at Li Yan and said: "The lower official is a local parent official, if the city is opened and surrendered, the court will not spare me, and please be considerate of the army." ”

At this point, it is a little uninteresting to still bargain, of course, Li Yan also understands He Jiao's concern.

If the army is like Zhu Yuanzhang at the beginning, maybe He Jiao will surrender without saying a word, after all, if he doesn't open the city now, it is a death, and Kaicheng may still be able to become a hero of the founding of the country.

However, the problem now is that Li Zicheng is a rogue, the rogue does not produce, nor farm, and the army will not stay for a long time, once Baofeng is opened, the army is afraid that it will take away useful materials as before, and then continue to wander to commit crimes, there is no problem for the army, but it is a big problem for He Jiao.

If the army is gone, he will continue to do this county order, and he will inevitably be liquidated by the imperial court, if he doesn't do it, follow the army, I'm afraid there won't be any good errands, he knows the style of the army, especially resentful of them, these officials and masters, it's good not to be cut off for a reason, where is there a future at all, so he is in a dilemma.

However, since Li Yan came, he naturally had his own plan, and said with a smile: "I know what Lord He is worried about, but well, there is no need to be so difficult, just a little planning, it can become a win-win situation." ”

"Will the plan be released?" He Jiao looked at Li Yan and asked eagerly.

"It was Guo Junzhen and Liu Wenbing who opened the city, what does it have to do with Lord He, Lord He endured humiliation and burden, pretended to be a thief, and after the thief left, he led a loyal and good man to recapture Baofeng, which is not only no fault, but also a great achievement" Li Yan said slowly.

Sure enough, He Jiao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he thought about it for a few breaths with his fingers sticking to his chin, and then raised his head and said, "But if this Guo Junzhen and Liu Wenbing ......"

"Hahahaha, Lord He, Lord He, if you open a city, what reason does King Chuang have to keep these two? As long as these two people die, this is the merits, aren't they all adults, do you have the final say? Li Yan laughed.

He Jiao's brows relaxed, Li Yan is right, as long as these two people die, there is no proof of death, and you can splash dirty water on them in the future!
