Chapter 160 Defeat Maicheng?
Guo Pengyun has been in charge of Dongdu for many years, and his generals are basically locals in Dongdu. Even if they were transferred from behind, many of them married Dongdu locals.
Li Feng conquered Dongdu, but ignored the families of the generals. This was a quick knife that was straddled by Guo Pengyun and the others' necks.
In Li Feng's world, Guan Yu was defeated and left Maicheng. One of the big reasons was that Jingzhou was taken down, and the generals and soldiers' families fell into the hands of the Eastern Wu, which made them lose their fighting spirit, surrender, and escape.
Thinking of this, Li Feng slapped himself gently: "I forgot about this, come here, invite General Guo's family."
Pang Ying looked unbearable, and Li Feng smiled and said, "Don't worry, General Pang, I am not the one who kills me, and I will never hurt their families. Not only will I not hurt them, I will also treat them well.
There are words in the world, but disasters are not as good as family members. After all, I am still half a person in the world."
Pang Ying didn't know why Li Feng said that he was half a man from the martial arts world, but he promised not to hurt the general's family, which touched him very much.
People live for a lifetime, just for their family. As long as Li Feng tied up the families of the generals and threatened them, a large number of people would definitely surrender.
Soon, Guo Pengyun's family was brought up, but there were only two women and no one else was seen. Li Feng frowned and was very dissatisfied: "Guo Dufu is the senior official, there are only these two families in his family? Where are the others?"
A middle-aged woman in her forties spat at Li Feng disdainfully: "My Guo family will not surrender to you as a traitor."
Li Feng was not angry either. He looked up and down at the middle-aged woman who was talking. Although she was not young, she could tell that she was also a beauty when she was young. In addition, she was extraordinary in temperament. Li Feng guessed that this person should be Guo Pengyun's personal wife.
As for another young and beautiful woman, is she a daughter or a concubine?
Pang Ying introduced: "This is Guo Dupu’s wife Jiang, and that is his eldest daughter Guo Tong. He has three concubines and two sons in his family. I don’t know where he went."
Pang Ying spoke, and Jiang realized that her charming face showed full surprise: "General Pang? Have you surrendered to King You?"
"Good birds choose trees to live in."
Jiang sneered: "I am worthy of being greedy for life and fear of death? The court treats you well, you are ungrateful and will eat your king's fortune in vain."
Pang Ying was angry, but he quickly suppressed it.
Li Feng stepped forward and spoke for Pang Ying: "I am the descendant of the first prince, the eldest son, and the pseudo-emperor Li Yuan killed his father. I will do my best for heaven. General Pang abandons the darkness and turns to the light. What's wrong with it?"
Jiang sneered and did not answer. Obviously she did not believe Li Feng's case about Li Yuan killing his father.
Li Feng sighed secretly again. The first impression was that it was a killing person. There were so few people who believed that such a big deal.
"Mrs. Guo doesn't need to get involved in the royal affairs. I hope you will give Guo Dugu's divorce letter outside. As for the content, you can write it whatever you want."
Jiang's face was suspicious. She thought Li Feng wanted her to write something that threatened Guo Pengyun, but she didn't expect that he wanted her to write whatever she wanted?
"What do you want to do?"
"If Mrs. Guo doesn't believe in my sincerity, I can turn around and send it out by you or your daughter after you write it."
Li Feng looked at the beautiful girl beside him: "Can you ride a horse?"
Guo Tong was not as hostile to Li Feng as Jiang. After she came up, she kept looking at Li Feng with curious eyes. Suddenly, she heard Li Feng's question. She couldn't help but blush and lowered her head and said, "Yes."
In the mood, Jiang did not notice his daughter's abnormality. She looked at Li Feng again and again, and confirmed that he was serious, so she agreed to write the letter.
A letter was quickly written, and Jiang sealed it and put it on the table: "I've finished writing it, what else do you want to do?"
"It's okay, Mrs. Guo, please come back. By the way, it's a mess outside now. Let's take all the concubines and sons of Guo Dupu, so as not to be accidentally injured by the patrol soldiers."
Jiang's body shook, looked at his daughter, nodded at her, and then got up and left.
Li Feng handed the letter to Guo Tong and asked someone to prepare a quick horse for her: "Send the letter to your father. I suggest that it is better to come back after sending the letter. The accommodation conditions outside are not good."
Guo Tong glanced at Li Feng and went out with the letter.
When Pang Ying watched the girl go out, she was a little worried.
Li Feng understood Pang Ying’s thoughts and asked, “Worried that Guo Pengyun knew you would surrender?”
"Yes, although Guo Dupu...for the sake of this, this is my choice."
"Actually, you and I have saved Guo Dupu's family's lives."
Pang Ying was puzzled, and Li Feng explained: "Guo Pengyun crossed the line. He wanted to build Dongdu into his own territory. You are obviously the chief of the Protectorate and the second in command of the army, but he let his son take power.
The late emperor has a kind nature and can ignore such things, but Li Yuan is not the late emperor. Once he stabilizes his throne, he will definitely attack Guo Pengyun once he knows the situation in Dongdu. At that time, Guo Pengyun's whole family may be killed."
Pang Ying deeply agreed and bowed deeply to Li Feng.
At this time, Guo Tong had already rode his horse to Guo Pengyun.
Guo Pengyun was about to harass her for the third time when he saw his daughter riding a fast horse to the front of the army.
Guo Pengyun was shocked and hurriedly rushed forward and asked, "Why are you out?"
Guo Tong took out a letter: "The prince asked his mother to write a letter and let me come out and hand it over to you."
Guo Pengyun took apart and saw two things in the letter. The first thing was that Pang Ying surrendered, and others in the city surrendered.
The second thing was that Li Feng did not hurt the generals' families, but just put them under house arrest.
After reading the letter, Guo Pengyun sighed. It was not only him, but also the families of the generals were all in the city. Their biggest weakness was captured. This was also one of the reasons why Guo Pengyun wanted to attack Dongdu as soon as possible. However, he did not expect that King You's actions were one step faster.
Guo Tong asked, "Father, King You said, is this true if Your Majesty killed the late emperor?"
Guo Pengyun silently refused to answer: "This matter is very complicated, so don't ask too much. The business is simple, so stay first."
Guo Tong was originally half-believing and half-doubting about Li Yuan killing his father. After seeing Guo Pengyun's attitude, he already believed it in his heart that His Majesty really killed the late emperor. King You did not rebel, but acted on the way for heaven.
"My mother is still in Dongdu, I want to go back to take care of her."
"Okay, pay attention to safety. If King You... your life is the most important."
Guo Pengyun stepped forward, patted Guo Tong's head intimately like when he was a child, and after watching her return, he turned around and summoned the generals to tell them what happened.
