Chapter 313 Recover Nanping
Li Yu knew that he would die if he was caught by Guo Hao, but Guo Hao's close contact with Nanping scared him.
"Your Majesty, I am wronged. I am just greedy for money, but I didn't do anything to sorry for the Song Dynasty. Even if I give me ten courage, I wouldn't dare!"
Li Yu knew that treason was a serious crime. At this time, Guo Hao did not have time to reform the law, so treason would have to be executed.
"You don't dare? I see you are very brave. You have left all my rules behind you. You openly sell documents. I have experienced it myself. What else do you have to say?
And as far as I know, you often travel between Guizhou and Fangzhou. You won’t know whose territory Guizhou is, right? Why are you still quibbling about it?”
When Li Yu heard this, his face turned red and white, he looked up at Zhao Kuangyin, as if he suddenly understood something.
Does he need five thousand men as a small county magistrate?
Guo Hao didn't have to mobilize all his troops if he wanted to arrest him. The reason why he went back to and from the state was actually to transfer money and did nothing else, but this was not the reason why he avoided death.
At the critical moment, Li Yu flashed his spirit and suddenly kowtowed and cried, "Your Majesty, I am absolutely necessary. It was Zhou Xingfeng who forced me to do this. For the sake of the people of Fang County, I have no other way!"
When Li Yu said this, everyone was stunned for a moment. Guo Hao squinted his eyes. Unexpectedly, Li Yu was quite good at it. I knew what he was thinking?
"Zhou Xingfeng? What does this have to do with him?"
Li Yu felt that there was a chance when he heard this, so he started his performance: "Your Majesty doesn't know anything. Because he is afraid of our court, he is quite attentive to worship him. However, Nanping only has three states and does not have much money at all, so he turned his attention to Fangzhou."
Guo Hao looked at Li Yu meaningfully: "Then why don't you submit to the court? The court will naturally come forward for you."
Li Yu smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Your Majesty has become a new treasure and surrenders from all directions. If I say that, who would believe me? I would not be able to get a charge of provoking relations between the two countries.
Besides, I can’t hide it from it. My family is all in the province. Zhou Xingfeng threatened this, so I had no choice but to agree to him.”
Everyone suddenly realized that Guo Hao nodded, not because he believed his words, but because he felt that the reason was reasonable.
"Yuen Long!"
"exist!"
"Contact Zhou Xingfeng immediately and let him come to see me. If he doesn't come, please invite him over!"
Guo Hao deliberately made the word "please" very important, and Zhao Kuangyin understood it and went to do it immediately.
In Jiangling, Nanping Prefecture, Zhou Xingfeng never thought that his hard-working relationship would eventually be destroyed by a small county magistrate.
"What? Say I threatened him? I have never heard of who Li Yu is!"
Zhou Xingfeng was very annoyed, but it was useless to be angry. When Guo Hao pretended to die, he also sent troops. Although he did not really attack, many people saw it.
Now that Guo Hao suddenly appeared in Fangzhou, it was abnormal. Zhao Kuangyin had already arrived at the border with five thousand Song troops, and the meaning was already very obvious.
"Quan'er, Emperor Song asked me to see him. He had to go for his father. If there was anything wrong with this behavior, you must not resist!"
In the room, the father and son seemed to say goodbye. Zhou Xingfeng was ready to die, but Zhou Baoquan felt a little reluctant.
"Father, Guo Hao asked you to go, but he didn't say anything to do. Maybe he just wanted to meet you, so you don't have to worry too much.
Besides, he only has five thousand men. If he really fights, we should not be his opponent. You can just say you don’t know Li Yu wherever you go."
After Zhou Baoquan finished speaking, Zhou Xingfeng shook his head. Guo Hao knew very well. The reason why he had not taken action before was just because there was no reason.
Now that a Li Yu appears out of thin air, it doesn’t matter whether it is true or not. Guo Hao wants Nanping’s territory and only bringing five thousand soldiers is already giving him face.
"Quan'er, you don't know what's going on here. Why did our Zhou family dare not be called emperor for decades? It's because it's surrounded by a powerful country.
Now that the Song Dynasty is newly established, it is vaguely unified. It will take a momentum to surrender to Nanping sooner or later, and I am just delaying the time."
Zhou Baoquan was silent when he heard this. Obviously he was a little unwilling to accept it: "Father, why don't we unite with Shu and Tang countries. The strength of the two countries may be the same, and it may not be the opponent of Song countries."
Zhou Xingfeng shook his head again and said, "The Lord of Shu is incompetent and dares not provoke Song. Tang was defeated by the Song army and lost the territory north of the Yangtze River. He did not dare to act rashly at this time.
Besides, we only have the territory of the three states. Although there are more than 100,000 households, there are not many troops available. If we fight, we will definitely not be the opponent of the Song army."
The father and son chatted for a long time, and Zhou Xingfeng repeatedly told his son not to be impulsive no matter what happens next. The father and son said goodbye with tears.
Three days later, Zhou Xingfeng came to Fangzhou, and Guo Hao welcomed him warmly.
"General Zhou came from afar, thank you for your hard work."
"I dare not, I dare not, I have met His Majesty the Emperor of the Song Dynasty!"
Guo Hao invited Zhou Xingfeng into the room and sat down with guests. Zhou Xingfeng looked at Guo Hao and felt very nervous.
"The old general, I called you here this time mainly to understand a situation. My rule is not strict, and a county magistrate was corrupt and abused the law, and he even wronged you. I want to know if this is the case."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xingfeng quickly stood up and said, "I don't know the officials that Your Majesty said, let alone any threats."
Guo Hao nodded after hearing this and said to Zhao Kuangyin: "Go and ask Li Yu, do you know Yang Xiu? If he knew, he should know what to do."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Kuangyin left, Guo Hao turned to Zhou Xingfeng and smiled and said, "How is the old general in good health recently?"
Zhou Xingfeng replied quickly: "It's okay, it's okay."
"Haha, the old general doesn't have to be polite. Sit quickly."
Zhou Xingfeng sat down nervously, and Guo Hao continued, "Sometimes, I think that if I get old, I won't worry so much. The world is so big, and there are many things I have never seen before. I guard the huge palace and don't even have freedom. What do you think of the old general?"
"Well, what your Majesty said."
"So, sometimes people have to look at it in their lives."
As he said that, Guo Hao suddenly stood up, Zhou Xingfeng also stood up, Zhao Kuangyin and Li Hui followed behind, and Guo Hao suddenly pulled out the sword next to him.
Zhou Xingfeng felt nervous. Li and Zhao also thought Guo Hao was going to take action. It was already evening. Guo Hao walked to the candle and groped for the sword in his hand.
"When you are drunk, you look at the sword with a lamp, and dream of blowing the horns and camps. You are divided into 800 miles of fire under your command, and you are fifty strings that turn the sound of the block outside. You are in autumn on the battlefield.
The horse made Lu Feifei, the bow was as fast as a thunderbolt. It was shocking. It resolved the affairs of the king and won the reputation of his life. Poor white happened!
Why!"
After reading a poem, Guo Hao sighed and put back his sword. Zhou Xingfeng breathed a sigh of relief. Li and Zhao were speechless. You said you should write poems, but it made it scary.
"Elder General, your hair is full of hair, the honor of your life. I heard that the people of Jingchu live a good life, but if you frequently pay tribute to the Song Dynasty, their good life may not last long."
One thing, one person, one poem, one sentence.
Zhou Xingfeng didn't understand where he could not understand, so he immediately knelt down and said, "I am confused. Your Majesty is wise and powerful. I should have surrendered for a long time. It was my fault for delaying it for so long. If Your Majesty wants to blame him, I am willing to bear it alone!"
"What are the words of the old general? Get up quickly."
As he said that, Guo Hao went to caress Zhou Xingfeng. Li Hui took a step forward without hesitation, and his hand was already placed on the knife.
Zhou Xingfeng got up from the ground, with tears on his face. Guo Hao felt sad and said, "The old general is wrong. In fact, it is all my fault. I have not figured out these principles before, which makes the old general frightened."
Zhou Xingfeng said he didn't dare to do so, and the two of them were polite. Guo Hao asked someone to prepare a banquet to entertain Zhou Xingfeng, Zhao Kuangyin was accompanying him, and Li Hui also wanted to protect Guo Hao, so he didn't drink.
The next morning, Guo Hao sent someone to send Zhou Xingfeng back. Three days later, Zhou Xingfeng wrote a letter and was willing to surrender to the Song Dynasty.
At the same time, Guo Hao issued an order to openly ask the Beggars' Gang to investigate officials from all over the country. Only then did people realize that the Beggars' Gang not only did not disappear with Guo Hao's identity, but instead became increasingly powerful.
After so long, Guo Hao should go back. His whereabouts have been exposed, and it is meaningless to continue to stay.
