Han Dao world

Wei Gu changed the subject. "You came to see me, but the little emperor is here?"

Only then did Wei Ping remember the business, and hurriedly reported the situation.

He had just received the news that after the Son of Heaven got off the Dianji Slope, he went directly to understand Chi.

Before Wei Ping finished speaking, Wei Gu laughed.He stood up and opened his arms.

The maidservant who was standing at the side hurried over, took off the coat hanging on the side, dressed him up, and tied his belt again.

"Go, follow me to see Guo Gongze."

Wei Ping was overjoyed and quickly followed.

Guo Tu has been here for more than half a month, but he has never seen him once, and he has no chance to show his courtesy.

The father and son left the main courtyard and came to the northernmost room of the Xikuan courtyard.

There were four guards in front of the gate, wearing leather armor and long knives, they looked over when they heard the sound, their eyes were piercing.Seeing that it was Wei Gu, his expression softened a little, and he signaled Wei Gu to wait, and one of them went in to report.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wei Gu said softly: "Mr. Guo has suffered some injuries and his face is damaged. When you see him later, don't laugh."

Wei Ping suddenly realized.

No wonder Guo Tu lived in secluded places. It turned out that he was injured and disfigured.

Celebrities pay the most attention to appearance, and it is indeed not suitable to meet guests in this situation.

After a while, the guard came out and motioned Wei Gu to go in.

Wei Gu tidied up his appearance, led Wei Ping into the courtyard, and entered the room.

In front of the window, Guo Tu sat with the door behind the window, his face hidden in the shadows.

Wei Gu has lowered his head ever since he entered the door.

Wei Ping followed suit and lowered his head, trying not to look at Guo Tu's face.

"Is Liu Xie here?" Guo Tu said with a weird voice.

Wei Gu stabbed Wei Ping, Wei Ping quickly moved forward half a step, and whispered the news he had just received.

Guo Tu hissed like a poisonous snake. "Whether we can keep the river east, and whether we can keep the Wei family business, depends on the ability of the father and son."

Wei Gu said softly, "What if he doesn't come?"

"He will definitely come." Guo Tu hissed and said with a smile: "The three armies have not moved, and the food and grass go first. Guanzhong is already dilapidated, and it is rare to be able to survive until now with only Duan Yao's food. Only the virtuous father and son can save him With Fan Xian."

He paused, and then said: "If you are willing to donate food, the title of marquis is not worth mentioning."

Goodbye Wei Gu. "The solid heart has been entrusted to the leader, and I dare not have him."

Guo Tu nodded. "Since that's the case, I'll make another plan for you."

"Please advise Guo Jun."

"Is there anyone in your clan who doesn't want to fight?"

Wei Gu hesitated for a moment. "Not many, just one or two scorpions. They don't know the destiny, and they are still making noise."

"You can ask them to come down and see if the emperor will pardon Wei."

"Guo Jun..."

Guo Tu raised his hand, signaling Wei Gu not to worry.

"Zhongjian, if I don't believe in you, how can I stay here? This is not a test, but a strategy to slow down the army. Please surrender your clansmen. If the emperor refuses, then all the clans in Hedong will know the heart of the emperor's tiger and wolf, and will share the same hatred with you. If the emperor is willing, then you can find a way to delay it for a few days, wait for him to collapse without food, and then cover up and kill him. When necessary, you can even donate some treasures, money, and a little food to show your sincerity."

Wei Gu suddenly realized and praised again and again.

"Guo Jun is worthy of being a unparalleled wise man, brilliant. This is a soldier who surrenders without fighting."

Guo Tu laughed twice and stopped talking.

Wei Gu understood, got up and bowed again, retreated, and closed the door behind him.

Guo Tu sat indoors and heard the footsteps of Wei Gu and his son leaving the door, then turned around and looked out the window.

Under the sunlight, Guo Tu's face was distorted, full of hatred.

The wound on his face has healed, but the two front teeth cannot be revived, and the originally full upper lip is sunken.Although it is blocked by beard, it is not obvious, but it cannot speak, otherwise it will be fully exposed.

"Huangkou kid, let's see how you change your fate this time."

Chapter 189

Wei Gu returned to the main courtyard and came to the vestibule.

Seeing this, Wei Ke in the corridor was overjoyed, and hurried up to meet him.

Wei Gu smiled before saying anything, amiable.

"Bo Ru, why did you wait so long without saying a word when you came?"

Wei Ji didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he had to say a few perfunctory words, and then brought up the business.

"Uncle, the prefect Wang Yi is gone and will never return, but the Son of Heaven is personally leading the army. I'm afraid that the misunderstanding has been completed. The current plan is to take the initiative to meet him, so as to avoid the disaster of overthrowing the nest."

Wei Gu let out a long sigh. "Yeah, I'm also worried about this, but I can't find a suitable candidate for a while. My father and son don't study well, and they don't know how to be polite. Now they have a bad reputation, and they are powerless to refute. If the king is rude before, the crime will be added to the crime." , why?"

Seeing Wei Gu's intention of repenting, Wei Jiao felt relieved and immediately volunteered to invite Ying.

Wei Gu was in the middle of his heart, and after a few false words of encouragement, he entrusted Wei Ke to see him and plead guilty, hoping that the emperor would give him a chance to explain.

Wei Xi didn't dare to neglect, and left in a hurry.

As soon as his figure disappeared outside the door, Wei Gu and Wei Ping looked at each other and smiled.

After a while, Wei Gu waved his hand.

"Zijun, order people to kill cattle and sheep. I want to feed my soldiers and prepare for the battle. The battle is approaching. If we can repel the little emperor, we will not only preserve the Wei family's property, but also a good opportunity to honor our ancestors."

He sneered. "In troubled times, the king is the one who is strong in soldiers and horses, so what's the use of reading and talking."

Wei Ping was overjoyed in his heart, flattered him a few words, and walked away arrogantly.

-

"Gongda, what can I do?"

Looking at the towering Wubao in the distance, Liu Xie frowned, feeling inexplicably anxious.

Xun You shook his head. "It is difficult to succeed in a strong attack, and it must take three to five days."

Liu Xie took a deep breath and let it out gently, repeating it several times.

What Xun You said was true.

Wei's mansion looks like an ordinary manor, but it is actually a strong fortress.Especially the main castle, tall and strong, no less than the Fucheng, it cannot be taken down by simple ladders.

Even ladders take time to build.

Logging, building ordnance, and attacking the city, the possibility of winning the main castle within five days is very slim.

It doesn't make any real sense to take down the main castle, but only the surrounding manors.

If you think with your toes, you can see where the food is hidden.

Without food, what is the use of this manor?

At this moment, in this situation, Liu Xie understood why Fan Xian didn't attack Yang Feng.

The salt pond is indeed a money pond, but no amount of salt can replace food.Wei Gu, Fan Xian and others fortified the wall to clear the field, reduced their troops, and hid all the food in the strong fortress, so that he would collapse without food.

This is a simple but effective plan aimed at the reality of the court's lack of food.

Faced with such a situation, even if he has [-] steps, he can't do anything.

He had less than two days' rations left.

If the standard ration quota is used, it is only one day.

Pinning hope on Yang Feng is a huge mistake, and no one can blame him.

The time to test Xun You has come.

"But Your Majesty, don't worry." Xun You was as calm as ever. "The person who asked to surrender will arrive soon. As long as His Majesty handles it properly, food will be available at your fingertips. It is the popular support, Your Majesty should not take it lightly."

"People's hearts?" Liu Xie turned to look at Xun You.

Xun You nodded slightly. "Your Majesty, although Hedong has been plundered, there are still tens of thousands of households, and Wei and Fan are only one or two of them. Even among Wei and Fan, not everyone is willing to join the rebellion. Your Majesty suppresses the rebellion and punishes the chief culprit. Don't implicate the innocent and fall into Guotu's trap."

"Are you sure Guo Tu is here?"

"Flesh wounds are easy to heal, but broken teeth are hard to regenerate. If he doesn't perform amazing feats, what face does he have to return to Yecheng?" Xun You sighed. "Guo Tu's crime is unforgivable for admiring false fame and causing real disasters, and using personal enmity to harm justice."

Liu Xie was skeptical.

It cannot be said that Xun You's words are unreasonable, but his selfishness is also obvious.

He did not approve of heavy handing against the Hedong clan represented by Wei Fan, and he did not even suggest rebellion such as Wei and Fan.

Can the problem be solved by only punishing the culprit?

"Your Majesty, someone from the Wei family please surrender." A Huben Lang walked over quickly, bowed to salute, and handed a famous badge with both hands. "The person here calls himself Wei Ke."

The famous thorn reads "Hedong Anyi Weiqi, with the word Boru, asking about daily life", the handwriting is correct and rigorous, and it is quite powerful.

Liu Xie couldn't help but glance at Xun You again.

So accurate?I just said that someone would ask to surrender, and the person arrived.

Xun You said indifferently: "The person who came here was either deceived by others, or deliberately surrendered. Seeing my emptiness and reality, I used a strategy of delaying the attack. Your Majesty can adapt to the situation, and there is no need to rush for a while."

Liu Xie nodded in agreement, motioning for Huben to invite Wei Qie to see him.

Taking advantage of Wei Jiao's absence, Liu Xie asked Cai Yan who was beside him, "Does Ling Shi know this Wei Jiao?"

Cai Yan stopped the pen in his hand, leaned forward and said, "He is my late husband's elder brother. He is styled as Boru and also named as Bocui. He is quite talented and learned. Because he rarely loses his parents, he manages his family well and is quite capable. He is a practical person. According to my humble opinion, he does not dare to deceive the emperor, but he may be deceived by villains."

"You return to Ning Chenliu, is it related to him?"

Cai Yan's eyelids trembled slightly, and he secretly glanced at Liu Xie, and then looked back.

"The minister returned to Ning Chenliu because her husband died and had no children. It has nothing to do with the Wei family, let alone Ji Bo's fault."

Liu Xie didn't say anything more.

The reason why he asked the question was not to seek justice for Cai Yan, but to test Cai Yan's attitude.

If everyone, like Xun You, opposes the cleansing of the Hedong clan, he can't promote his ideas too simply and rudely, lest he become a real loner.

Cai Yan's answer has already shown her attitude, she is on Xun You's side.

-

Wei Ke came in by roll call, his body was like a chime, and he was meticulous in his actions.

Liu Xie nodded secretly.

This man is familiar with etiquette and is by no means rude or ignorant.

It is indeed unlikely that the family who can let Cai Yong marry his daughter is as simple as a local tyrant.

"Head up."

"Wei." Wei Qi bowed again, straightened up, raised his head, and looked at Liu Xie calmly, neither humble nor overbearing.

Wei Ji is around forty, with a white face and little beard, and his appearance is upright and elegant, but his eyes are sharp and shrewd, which is different from ordinary scholars.

"What is your relationship with Wei Gu?"

"Wei Gu is the head of the Wei family, the coveted patriarch."

"You came to ask for surrender, is it at his order?"

Wei Jiao said unhurriedly: "Cai came to see Jia, indeed he was ordered by the clan father, but it was not to ask for surrender, but to defend against false accusations."

"Oh?"

"Although the Wei family is of a cold family, since the great-grandfather Wei Hao was famous for Confucianism, he was buried in Hedong and passed down the family for several generations. The Taiwei obeyed His Majesty's edict to appease Hedong with festivals. The father of the family did his best to be a landlord. There is help. Unexpectedly, he was framed by others, fell into rebellion, and was terrified. Hearing that the Son of Heaven is coming, I want to take the liberty to ask for orders. May Your Majesty see clearly."

After finishing speaking, Wei Jiao fell to the ground and kowtowed repeatedly. "With His Majesty's permission, I wish to confront the first accuser."

The corner of Liu Xie's mouth twitched slightly.

Talent ah, anti-customer-oriented, beat back.
