Empire's Summoning Generals System

Chapter 257 Calculating (Two in One)

Chen Qi led the soldiers to clean up the piled bricks, stones and tiles at the city gate, and welcomed Liu De into the city gate. Liu De sat straddling a Luma, wearing a golden armor, his cloak fluttering in the wind behind him, and a red scarf hanging from his waist. Xiaojian, with a magnificent weapon and a majestic majesty, all the generals were sincere and fearful, and deeply admired him.

Liu De ordered: "Seal the gates of the city, post up notices, send soldiers to maintain law and order in the city, arrest the defeated enemy and Chu Ying, let Dian Wei take people there, Chu Ying's force is no match for you!"

"Decree!" Chen Qi clapped her hands and said yes.

"And take Yang Zichuan and his subordinates' family and clan into custody!" Liu De continued after thinking for a while.

At this time, Jiang Lin came to report: "My lord, the Che family, Zheng family, Wang family, Gu family and other big families in the city sent people to ask to see the lord!"

"Who are the people here?" Liu De asked.

"According to the humble position, most of them are their housekeepers or nephews at home."

"What a big family with confidence!" Liu De's tone was quite unfriendly. Liu De was the Lord of Dongyu City, General Anbei, Marquis of Dongyu, and the feudal official of Yanzhou. He was in charge of tens of thousands of horses. The housekeeper and nephew of the family came over, which showed that they didn't take Liu De seriously at all.

Although Liu De conquered Liao City, in the eyes of several big families, Liu De is just a baby. Sending a few nephews here may be regarded as a gift to Liu De!

I have to curse behind my back, son of a veteran!Lizi kid!
"It seems that they are really not afraid that someone will do something to them!" Liu De's face became calm, and Xu Hu, who was guarding the side, twitched his eyebrows. It's not something that can be solved simply by shedding some blood.

"My lord! Now that the enemy is at hand, Yang Zichuan is still alive, and we still focus on maintaining stability. With our current soldiers and horses, I'm afraid we can't control the entire city of Liao!" Xu Shu may have seen Liu De's thoughts, and quickly persuaded,

"With Dongyu's current strength, it is impossible to compete with the aristocratic families for the control of Liaocheng. Yang Zichuan has been in the state shepherd position for decades, and he still needs to rely on these big families. We can only cooperate with them to govern Liaocheng together. Liaocheng, gradually take back the rights in three to five years, or even ten years! If there is a conflict, they can completely paralyze Liaocheng in an instant, and our government orders will not be able to come out of the government!"

Liu Dela held tight to the reins of his horse, and said to Xu Shu: "This group of aristocratic families are just bullying and fearing the hard. If we are a little weaker, they will push forward and become more rampant. They won't take us seriously at all. It won't take three to five years. , we will be excluded by them!"

"Jiang Lin, don't worry about those family members, you want to show me off? I want to see if their necks are harder than knives!"

"My lord, please think twice before acting!" Seeing Liu De's killing intent, Xu Shu hurriedly persuaded him.

"Okay, military adviser, I have a sense of proportion!"

Liu De interrupted: "Jiang Lin, the food and grass in the city have been burned to the ground, but Chu Ying is still able to support him until now. Someone must have supported him with food and grass. Only the rich people in the city can have this ability. Let me find him out! Kill chickens to scare monkeys !"

"My lord, what if these aristocratic families unite to resist?" Xu Shu was still a little worried.

"Don't worry, the family is a bunch of greedy and selfish people. As long as we don't expand the scope of attack, they will definitely not unite and resist. What's more, the interests left by the families we exterminated will make them fight endlessly. The so-called Union is nothing but a joke!"

"My lord is so intelligent that I can't match you!" Xu Shu lightly patted Liu De's flattery.

Liu De looked at Xu Shu's intelligence of 93, and looked at his own intelligence of 72. He glanced at him. Xu Shu's level of flattery is still not enough!

Are you mocking yourself?
Liu De continued to order: "Send the commanders and let Yannan, Tan Zheng, and Mi Zhu come over to take charge of the overall situation in Liaocheng! Zheng Fu stays behind Dongyu."

"Yes! The last general takes orders!"

"Lord Captain, this is the family!"

Jiang Haifeng pointed to a vermilion door and told Jiang Lin.

"Who! It's making noise outside the door, do you know where it is?" The porter opened the door cursing.

He raised his eyes and saw Dongyu soldiers gathered at the door, and immediately said "Oh my god!" and closed the door forcefully.

Jiang Lin waved his hand to signal, and Jiang Haifeng instantly understood what his father meant, and led a few Dongyu soldiers who were like wolves and tigers directly to the gate, and there were bursts of exclamations from the mansion.

"What? You mean that Dong Yu's army has arrested the whole Wei family, old and young?" The Patriarch of the Wang family stood up and said in surprise.

"That's right! Just now, I broke into the Wei Mansion without any explanation, and the whole family was arrested and sent to prison! The charges were for providing food to Chu Ying and harboring enemy troops!" a servant reported.

"What kind of bullshit charge is this! Hurry up! Continue to investigate!" The Patriarch of the Wang family said anxiously, "By the way, prepare the horse for me, I'm going to the Zheng family. What does this son of a veteran want to do! How can he manage such a big family without our support?" What's more, he only captured Liaocheng, and Yangzhou Muke still has an army of [-]!"

After a while, several famous families in Liaocheng gathered in the Zheng family to discuss countermeasures.

Zheng Kui, the Patriarch of the Zheng family, is over 70 years old, and a very scheming old man. Zheng Kui looked at the crowd who were shouting, and coughed lightly twice. I got a piece of news that the Bao family was raided by the Dong Yu army!"

In the hall, it exploded all of a sudden!

That's not how the script works. It shouldn't be that Liu Decheng met the people he sent in fear, and then the two sides discussed with each other to jointly take charge of Liaocheng. You don't interfere with me, and I don't interfere with you!

We have filial piety every year, you see, everything is good!

Why did you start flipping the table without even seeing him?

"Brother Zheng, we can't let Liu De go on like this!" A rich old man stood up and said to Zheng Kui.

He is the head of the Gu family, Gu Pu, although he looks generous, he is actually quite cunning and cunning, and he was also well-known in Liao City back then.

"He Liu De is not kind, don't blame us for being unrighteous!" A trace of cruelty flashed in Gu Pu's eyes!
"Patriarch Gu, don't be reckless. This Liu De has made a great reputation since he inherited his ancestral business. I'm afraid these trails won't work. If they don't work, they will anger Liu De, and I'm afraid we won't be able to please him!" Zheng Kui stroked his jaw lightly. With a goatee under his eyes, he squinted his eyes and said to Gu Pu.

"Brother Zheng is old, live up to the past!"

Gu Pu's expression was not good, and he sneered.

"Hehe!" Zheng Kui smiled impressively and did not refute, just drinking tea by himself.

"Master, master!"

A servant rushed in and reported to Zheng Kui: "My lord, General Anbei has sent someone over!"

"coming!"

Zheng Kui put down the cup in his hand, as if he had expected that Liu De would send someone over.

"Please come in!" Zheng Kui said.

"Yes!"

Chen Qi strode into the hall, looked around, and suddenly said with a smile: "Since you are all here, I will save you from looking for one by one! My lord invites all the patriarchs to go to the government office tonight, and please You'd better arrive on time, don't say it's unpredictable!"

After all, don't stay here, just withdraw and leave.

"Bang!"

Gu Pu slammed the cup in his hand on the ground, and said angrily: "Don't say that you are unpredictable? I want to see how you can be unpredictable! Everyone, leave!"

Several patriarchs also bowed to Zheng Kui and others, and left with Gu Pu!
Zheng Kui gently swept the tea leaves in the cup with the lid of the cup, looked at the panic-stricken crowd, and said, "In this case, everyone go back first!"

"Duke Zheng, what should we do?" One person asked anxiously, obviously out of ideas.

"Patriarch Gu has a sinister personality, and now he is even more arrogant and ungrateful. Nowadays, people treat me like a fish with swords, but Patriarch Gu wants to take the knife and bite back. This is the way of death. If you believe me, then go to the government office tonight. Grace and power, grace and power, now that the power is below, the next step will definitely be grace! As long as we don't make some small moves, Liu De will not deal with us easily. After all, it is an old saying that Liaocheng can't do without us, but there are one or two families missing It's still fine."

The heads of other families all looked at each other and bowed to Zheng Kui: "Duke Zheng is righteous, we will obey the words of Duke Zheng."

Zheng Kui nodded, picked up the teacup, and took a sip. The rest of the people understood what he meant and bowed their hands to leave.

Zheng Kui looked at the departing figures of the Patriarchs, and waved to the person behind him, who hurried forward, bowed his head and said, "Father!"

"Go out through the back door and go to the government office to deliver a message to General Anbei." Zheng Kui ordered in a low voice.

The more Zheng Kui's son heard it, the more startled he became: "Father, is this?"

Zheng Kui waved his hand to stop what his son was about to say, and said to him, "Do as I tell you!"

"The son takes command!"

Due to his father's majesty, Zheng Bogui didn't dare to refute, so he nodded in response.

Zheng Bogui quietly went out the back door, went to the government office, and met Liu De.

Liu De sat on the main seat, looked at Zheng Bogui in the hall, and asked with a smile: "I don't know what Mr. Zheng is talking about coming here?"

"To General Anbei, my father asked me to tell you a piece of news!" Zheng Bogui bowed.

"What's the matter?"

"Report to General Anbei, Gu Pu, the head of the Gu family, is quite dissatisfied with the general and wants to assassinate the general!"

Liu De tapped the table lightly with his fingers, his expression turned cold, and he suddenly smiled again: "Dare to ask Mr. Zheng why you want to tell this news to someone?"

"This" Zheng Bogui kowtowed: "The general is mighty and virtuous all over the world, my father deeply respects him!"

"Hahaha!"

Liu De laughed, "Okay, since that's the case, you tell Zheng Gong, the general already knows, thank you Zheng Gong, and there will be rewards in the future!"

"Yes! I will take my leave!"

Zheng Bogui cupped his hands in worship.

After Zheng Bogui left, Liu De ordered: "Xu Hu, Peng Yue, you two go and arrest all members of the Gu family. If there is any resistance, you will be shot!"

Xu Hu and Peng Yue came out: "Yes!"

Liao City, Gu Mansion.

"Everyone!"

Gu Pu's eyes were like hawks, and he looked extraordinarily penetrating. With his arms leaning on the table, he looked at the several patriarchs sitting below, and said grimly: "Liu De is not a man, he openly insulted us. When Yang Zichuan came to Yan In Zhou Dynasty, he has never treated our big families like this, Liu De dared to be so arrogant, I am really angry! I want to eradicate Liu De, can you help me?"

"Brother Gu, there are nearly ten thousand soldiers in Liu De City! Even Chu Ying is no match, so how can we get rid of him!" one person asked.

"It's easy to hide a spear and it's hard to defend against it! As long as you send a few dead men, forgive that little Liu De who won't survive tonight!" Gu Pu's words were full of disdain for Liu De.

"Why don't you ask Zheng Gong!" Someone suggested, and the others agreed after hearing this.Zheng Kui's status in Liaocheng is second only to Yang Zichuan, the prefect of Yanzhou.

"Humph!"

Gu Pu was furious, and suddenly said: "Zheng Kui has long lost the courage of the past, so indecisive, how can he achieve great things! Look at you, a bunch of idiots!"

Gu Pu almost pointed his nose at them and scolded them, then he flicked his sleeves and said: "Forget it, I don't need you anymore, don't be a waste of help when the time comes, but in order to prevent leaks, everyone will rest at the old man's house for one night Bar!"

The heads of the other families had no choice but to obediently agree, not daring to resist Gu Pu's despotic power at all.

After Gu Pu left the living room, he turned around and went to the study room, followed by a burly man.

Gu Pu said: "Gu Wu, you bring those people to the old man's study, and the old man must give them good instructions!"

"Yes!" Gu Wu clapped his hands in reply.

In the study, Gu Pu said seriously to the men in black: "Do you understand what the old man said?"

"Sir, I understand!"

Several people hurriedly prayed.

"kindness!"

Gu Pu nodded, "After the matter is completed, the old man will take good care of your family members, and your offspring will also find a scholar to teach you. In the future, I will recommend you as an official, so you can rest assured!"

When several people heard what Gu Pu said, they were so grateful that they couldn't express it in words. They all kowtowed and said: "Master is kind, we will never forget it, and we will repay the great kindness of Master with our lives!"

"That's good! Get up!"

Gu Pu finally showed a smile, turned around and sat back on his seat.

But at this time, shouts suddenly came from outside, a burst of noise!
Gu Pu put down the teacup, and asked with a firm face: "What happened? It's so noisy! Gu Wu, go and have a look!"

Gu Wu nodded in agreement, and opened the door to check.

Unexpectedly, a servant covered in blood stumbled over and fell down in front of Gu Wu.

Gu Wu held the servant's arm with his hands so as not to let him fall. When Gu Pu saw the servant covered in blood, he was startled. He walked a few steps closer and asked with an angry face, "What happened?" thing!"

The servant said weakly: "Master, let's go! Dong Yu's army has come in!"

"what!?"

Gu Pu's heart was shaken, and he said to Gu Wu: "Gu Wu, come with this old man!"

"Patriarch Gu, where else do you want to go?" A rather rough voice came from behind Gu Pu. Gu Pu turned his head and saw a big man with a beard standing in the corridor not far away with a knife.

He smiled playfully at himself.

Is that another look at a dead man?
