The next day.

Beifengcheng Street was completely silent.

The people all received the news that the army from Zhenbei was going on an expedition today, so they all stayed at home.

They knew that Su Yuan was going to attack a martial arts sect, and that the entire city was being searched to catch the assassin.

People have different ideas about this matter.

Some people think this is normal, while others think it is a pity that the assassination failed.

Of course, most people have to admit that just one month after Su Yuan took office, Beifeng City has undergone tremendous changes, and these are some good changes for ordinary people.

The most intuitive thing is that living conditions have improved and the money you have to pay has become less.

Moreover, in the past few days, the Zhenbei Palace has posted notices in the city, announcing that a new tax law will be introduced. According to the new tax law, more than 60% of the people will no longer have to pay land taxes.

This made some illiterate people think they were dreaming.

In addition, the notice also stated that the Zhenbei Palace would pay for the establishment of a large number of public facilities, such as free schools, cheap medical clinics, etc.

This also makes people feel incredible.

Therefore, some people who were originally opposed to his rebellion now said nothing.

After all, in the final analysis, it has nothing to do with the common people who becomes the emperor. In other words, they will definitely be more willing to support whoever becomes emperor who can make their lives better.

Winter, winter, winter.

The dull, neat sound of treading on the ground echoed through the long street.

The common people were lying in front of the windows, looking at the rows of armored soldiers walking neatly on the long street, and felt that even their breathing became short.

These Xiliang cavalry were fully armored and rode tall horses. Five of them lined up in an orderly manner, passing through the city streets and exiting from the floating bridge to the outside of the city.

This process lasted for half an hour before stopping.

The people were all frightened, wondering how many soldiers and horses Su Yuan had.

At this moment, people from the five major families are also watching.

Zhang Yuandong himself calculated that the Zhenbei Army that left the city definitely exceeded 10,000 people!

This made him extremely excited and he clenched his fists repeatedly.

"More than 10,000 people have left the city, and at most there are only a few thousand Zhenbei Army left in the city..." Zhang Yuandong could not suppress his excitement and paced back and forth in the yard, "Only a few thousand are left... when General Gongsun arrives with his troops.

, Tuanlian, the servants of our five major families, suddenly launched an attack, captured the city gate, and lowered the pontoon..."

As if he had foreseen Su Yuan's downfall, Zhang Yuandong was extremely excited.

In the Zhenbei Palace, Chu Changning was reporting to Su Yuan.

"Your Majesty, the army led by Shen Lian has left the city."

"Um."

"The five major families are also starting to make moves. My lord, do you want to take them down now?"

"Wait until Gongsun Kuo shows up before taking action." Su Yuandao, "They are meat on the chopping board and can be slaughtered at any time. What we need to do now is to completely cut off the connection between them and Gongsun Kuo."

"I understand. From now on, not even a pigeon can fly out of Beifeng City!"

Previously, the five major families were able to communicate secretly with Gongsun Kuo, but it was actually Su Yuan's deliberate indulgence.

If they didn't contact each other, how could Gongsun Kuo take the bait?

If Gongsun Kuo didn't take the bait, Su Yuan would have to pay a lot of Xiliang soldiers if he wanted to capture the northern Xinjiang camp.

These Xiliang cavalry are elite and precious soldiers. Su Yuan does not want to sacrifice them casually and waste them.

But now that the bureau has been set up, there is no need for the five major families to have contact with Gongsun Kuo.

"Let's go."

Su Yuan changed into a battle armor and put on a battle helmet.

The four swords of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum also wear armor and stomach, and the personal guards who act as personal guards are always at Su Yuan's side.

"We are also leaving the city."

"Yes, Master!"

…

Northern Xinjiang camp.

In a camp, several generals headed by He Chong were tied up with ropes.

Outside the tent, there were dozens of soldiers guarding and guarding him.

He Chong cursed loudly: "Gongsun Kuo! You detained a good general for no reason. You are in vain to be a general! You are in vain to be a commander! Gongsun Kuo! You despicable villain! Shameless person!"

"Brother He, save your energy." Another general sighed helplessly, "If we continue to scold him, it will be of no use to Gongsun Kuo."

"yes."

The bound generals used to be Su Tufeng's confidants.

Ever since Su Tufeng died and Gongsun Kuo came to power, he has been deliberately marginalizing them, not allowing them to lead troops in training, and only arranging useless chores.

This was nothing. Last night, Gongsun Kuo actually sent people to arrest them while they were sleeping, tie them up, and imprison them. This was really unacceptable to them and they cursed them all night long.

But despite the scolding, Gongsun Kuo would not show up.

One person raised his ears and said, "Listen, the army is gathering. I think Gongsun Kuo is going to lead his troops to attack Beifeng City."

The sound of horns gathering outside the tent was very obvious, and the whine was heard inside the tent.

Of course they all knew about Su Yuan's rebellion. But knowing that they knew it, they couldn't say or do anything.

Even though they were once generals under Su Tufeng, they could not support his son's rebellion.

But now...

He Chong said angrily: "Once Beifeng City is captured by Gongsun Kuo, we will definitely be accused of treason!"

"Isn't that true... Then Gongsun Kuo will definitely tell His Majesty that we, the prince's old subordinates, intend to assist His Highness in his rebellion... Sigh."

"Damn it! If I had known this, I might as well have rebelled with His Highness the Crown Prince! Otherwise, I would not have to bear the brunt of the pustule and coward Gongsun Kuo!"

"Now that things have happened, what's the use of talking about this? Gongsun Kuo and some people in Beifeng City are in harmony with each other. I think His Royal Highness may..."

"Then we can't die in an unknown way, we're so fucking useless!" A strong man with a dark face kept cursing like a bell, attracting all the soldiers guarding the door.

"What's the fuss about? Be honest!" scolded the soldiers who came in.

The black-faced strong man heard this and glared angrily: "It's your grandma's fault, a young soldier dares to teach your lieutenant general grandpa! I'm tired of living!"

The soldier laughed happily when he heard this: "Master Zhonglang, you are the chief official. But the one who is tied up now is you, not me."

"It's your grandma's!"

The black-faced man was so angry that the rope on his body made a "scratching" sound when he pulled away from it. The soldier was shocked when he saw this, fearing that he would break away, so he hurriedly got another rope and wrapped it around him.

At this time, the horn sound sounded again outside the tent, which was the horn of the army's departure.

"Everyone, we are bound to win this trip to annihilate the Su Yuan traitor!"

Gongsun Kuo was wearing a cloak, with a white horse on his hip, and his face was full of determination and pride.

In front of him was a neatly arranged phalanx of soldiers. For this dispatch, he mobilized a total of 20,000 soldiers and horses, and the remaining 30,000 were on duty at the northern Xinjiang camp.

Twenty thousand people were surrounded by darkness. Gongsun Kuo looked at it and couldn't help but feel proud.

He used to be just a libertine who drank and had fun all day long. Who would have thought that today he would become a majestic general with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses?

Gongsun Kuo waved his hand and said in a loud voice: "Listen to the order! Follow me to march to Beifeng City!"

"Follow the general's orders!"
