Liucheng.
Cao Cao has not retreated yet and continues to station here.
They had almost reached an agreement on the plan to migrate the Wuhuan people, so they left Tian Chou to coordinate everything. When the army returned, they would carry out the migration. Finally, they considered migrating people from within the Han Dynasty to Wuhuan, the three counties, to supplement the population shortage. .
Not long after the plan was finalized, he got a letter from Gongsun Kang.
"Du Zhi, Gongsun Kang is really what you said."
When Cao Cao got the letter, he was surprised and said: "Gongsun Kang took the initiative to send a letter, telling me that he is willing to surrender, and will soon send the heads of Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang as a certificate of surrender!"
As soon as the news came out, they seemed to be surprised.
I'm not surprised at Chen Zhou's ability to predict.
After all, it wasn't the first time that Chen Zhou's prediction was right.
Chen Zhou smiled and said: "Congratulations, lord, Liaodong has been decided."
Cao Cao thought for a while and asked, "Do you think Gongsun Kang is cheating?"
Chen Zhou said: "No!"
Normally, it would not be possible, unless this period of history was also distorted and different from what he knew.
After receiving an affirmative response, Cao Cao said loudly: "Come here, contact Gongsun Kang and tell him that I am waiting for the head he sends. As soon as the head arrives, I will take the initiative to request your Majesty to take credit for Gongsun Kang and make him a marquis!"
The people below received the order and made arrangements as soon as possible to have someone contact Gongsun Kang.
They continued in Liucheng, waiting for the heads of the Yuan brothers to return.
——
Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang finally met Gongsun Kang.
They were idle in the post house for many days. They requested to see Gongsun Kang many times, but received no response. Fortunately, there was finally a reply today. Yuan Shang's eyes were shining, thinking that his plan was almost successful.
As long as Gongsun Kang is killed, they will have the confidence to control Liaodong.
Yuan Xi shook his head helplessly, feeling that he was destined to die this time. He couldn't persuade Yuan Shang, and he didn't know where Yuan Shang got his confidence, so he could only die together. Maybe this was their fate.
For some reason, Yuan Xi suddenly thought, just die, so as not to suffer like this all the time and have to run around, it's very tiring!
"Perhaps this is a relief!"
Yuan Xi was thinking in his heart and sighed again. He was really helpless!
At this time, the weather is gradually getting cooler.
Time has entered late autumn, and Liaodong is located in the northeast. Although winter has not yet entered, it has already begun to snow and freeze. Under the influence of the Little Ice Age, the weather has become cold very quickly, and the snow has fallen before the beginning of winter.
They braved the snowflakes and stepped on the snow to arrive outside the prefect's mansion.
"Xianfu, why don't we forget it? It might be too late for us to leave now!"
Before he really died, Yuan Xi hesitated again, hoping to persuade Yuan Shang to leave.
Walking outside the governor's house, he had a feeling that even if Yuan Shang didn't take action today, Gongsun Kang would not let them go. He was afraid that Gongsun Kang would give in in front of Cao Cao and take their heads to surrender.
Yuan Shangzao sent more than a thousand of his men into the city in batches, pretending to be pedestrians, and were lurking outside the prefect's mansion, waiting for his move. When the time came, those more than a thousand people would come in and help him quickly. Take charge of everything.
Yuan Shang was confident about how to kill Gongsun Kang and seize power, and he was confident that he could not fail.
"Second brother, what are you afraid of? Come in quickly!"
Yuan Shang has not yet realized that the danger is coming.
Fuzhong.
Gongsun Kang and others sat and waited.
"Brother, the swordsman is ready."
Gongsun Gong said.
He is Gongsun Kang's younger brother and participated in today's action together.
Gongsun Kang nodded slightly and added: "According to my investigation, Yuan Shang has secretly arranged for his men to enter the city. You can take another three thousand people out and kill all Yuan Shang's people."
He said with a fierce look in his eyes!
He didn't expect that Yuan Shang still had the idea of killing him. He hadn't actually taken action yet, and Yuan Shang was about to take action. So if they sent their heads to Cao Cao to surrender, there would be no more psychological pressure.
"good!"
When Gongsun Gong heard this, he immediately went out to take action.
"Father, here we come!"
Gongsun Huang came back and said.
"Bring them in!"
Gongsun Kang hesitated for a moment, then got up and went out to greet him.
As soon as he arrived outside the door, he saw two tall figures walking through the snow and quickly came to him.
"You two gentlemen, I have been busy lately and I couldn't see you right away. I finally made time today. Please forgive me!"
Gongsun Kang first smiled heartily and walked towards him, sincerely wanting to apologize and admit his mistake.
Yuan Shang also smiled slightly and said: "Prefect Gongsun is too polite. We come to disturb you. It's actually our fault. Please forgive me!"
As he spoke, he bowed and saluted.
Gongsun Kang smiled and held up Yuan Shang's hand, indicating that there was no need to be polite. His face was full of enthusiasm. The scene seemed harmonious. He smiled and said: "You two, it's cold outside. The heater in the house is ready. Please come in!"
"OK!"
Yuan Shang said, finally getting a chance to get close, he immediately pulled out a dagger hidden on his body and stabbed Gongsun Kang. However, a "dang" sound suddenly sounded, and the dagger seemed to be pierced on something hard.
Gongsun Kang immediately kicked Yuan Shang out. At the same time, all the swordsmen and axemen who were ambushing nearby ran out and surrounded the Yuan brothers.
"This... why..."
The moment Yuan Shang saw the swordsman, he was dumbfounded.
It turned out that Gongsun Kang had always been on guard against him, and had arranged for a swordsman to ambush him nearby, preparing to kill him with a knife. He walked into the trap and thought he could kill Gongsun Kang and seize power. Only then did he realize that his What a childish idea.
Yuan Xi shook his head and sighed. As expected, Gongsun Kang actually didn't want to let them go.
Today, no matter whether Yuan Shang takes action or not, they will die.
"Third Young Master, do you want to kill me?"
Gongsun Kang took out a pair of breast shields and threw them on the snow.
There was more than one piece of goggles tied to his body. He threw several pieces out one after another and threw them into the snow. He was very guarded against Yuan Shang.
At this time, Gongsun Gong came back.
"Brother, all the Yuan family members outside were killed by us."
As he said that, he looked at Yuan Shang with disdain, not taking them seriously at all.
Yuan Shang: "..."
They failed miserably!
"Take it!"
Gongsun Kang shouted.
The swordsmen beside them pushed people to the ground and made them sit on the icy and snowy ground.
Yuan Shang shivered from the cold and felt that his butt and thighs were about to freeze. He asked cautiously: "You are not dead yet and can't bear the cold. Can you give us a seat?"
Gongsun Kang laughed loudly and said, "My head has traveled thousands of miles, so what's the use of a table?"
Yuan Shang: "..."
Yuan Xi slowly closed his eyes, as if waiting for death.
Gongsun Kang shouted: "Come here, kill them and put the heads on them. I want to see Prime Minister Cao in person."
When he heard that he was really going to die, Yuan Shang was very afraid of death, his body shook violently, and he burst into tears. He had never imagined that he would end up like this, but when he got here, he could no longer look back and could only wait for death!
