"General Bei is really thoughtful."
Although he was a little displeased in his heart, Gongsun Yuan still smiled politely on the surface.
Bei Yan led his soldiers, followed Gongsun Yuan, and slowly arrived at the gate of Xiangping City.
Seeing the arrival of Gongsun Yuan and his party, Gan Ning, Wei Yan and others on the top of the city also showed their heads.
"Who are you?"
"That's right, King Yan is the only one!"
Gongsun Yuan set up his posture and spoke eloquently.
"Just you, why don't you pay it back to King Yan? You're really putting yourself on the line!"
Gan Ning couldn't help but laugh.
"Don't be so arrogant, just come down and fight for 300 rounds if you can!"
Bei Yan on the side said coldly.
"Why don't you dare?"
Gan Ning sneered and prepared to take action himself.
Wei Yan on the side quickly stopped in front of him and smiled proudly,
"Why use a butcher's knife to kill a chicken? It's just a trivial matter, and it doesn't matter to the Commander-in-Chief, it will come as soon as it's over!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was seen running down the city wall.
Not long after, Wei Yan rushed out from the path in the ruins of the city wall.
Seeing this situation, Gongsun Yuan was immediately surprised.
"Bei Yan, kill this person quickly!"
As long as Wei Yan can be killed, the morale of the Liaodong Allied Forces will greatly increase.
Taking this opportunity to recapture Xiangping directly in one go is not impossible!
"The last general takes command!"
Bei Yan slowly raised the sword in his hand.
Just when everyone thought that he would rush forward and fight with Wei Yan, they saw him swipe violently.
The long knife swung directly towards Gongsun Yuan with a whistling sound.
In full view of everyone, Gongsun Yuan's head flew high into the sky with a cluster of blood, and then fell heavily to the ground!
Seeing this scene, not to mention everyone in the Liaodong Allied Forces, even Gan Ning, Wei Yan and others were shocked.
No one expected that Gongsun Yuan’s number one general would rebel in public and chop off his head!
After killing Gongsun Yuan, Bei Yan did not hesitate and immediately raised the token in his hand and shouted,
"I am following the orders of His Highness King Qi to kill Gongsun Yuan!"
"I hope General Xingba will let me enter the city!"
Gan Ning took a closer look and saw that what Bei Yan was holding up was Yang Ling's token.
Besides, even without this token, Gan Ning would let him into the city because of his actions.
"General, enter the city quickly!"
Hearing this, Beiyan clamped his horse's belly and rushed towards Xiangping City with the soldiers beside him.
This series of things happened too suddenly.
By the time everyone in Liaodong reacted, Bei Yan had already led people to escape into the city.
Seeing Wei Yan blocking the way, Sun Zong, Wei Gong, King Mingluo of Dongyi Kingdom and others looked at each other in shock.
Without a leader, they did not dare to attack the city rashly, so they had to retreat temporarily.
"His Royal Highness King Yan was killed by a thief, how can we not avenge him?"
"Revenge is about taking revenge, but the question is how do we take revenge?"
"Yeah, we can't just rush in. We have to think of a charter."
In the camp, everyone in the Liaodong Allied Forces was talking about it.
People from Liaodong County such as Sun Zong were inclined to avenge Gongsun Yuan.
But Wei Gong and others originally chose to send troops because of Gongsun Yuan.
Now that Gongsun Yuan is dead, they are naturally unwilling to continue fighting.
Therefore, for a while, the two sides were unable to reach a unified opinion.
"If you intend to avenge His Highness King Yan, then you can go on your own. I am going back!"
Wei Gong snorted coldly, stood up and walked out.
King Myungra of Dongyi Kingdom, King Mayu of Buyeo and others looked at each other and immediately left behind the palace.
"You guys don't have enough resources!"
Sun Zong was so angry that he was shaking all over.
Cao Wei originally had the upper hand, but now that Gongsun Yuan is dead, the Wei army is even more powerful.
Only by uniting together can these people have a chance of survival.
But Wei Gong and others were so stupid that they chose to part ways at this moment!
"Military advisor, what should we do now?"
The other generals in Liaodong looked at Sun Zong at a loss.
According to convention, after Gongsun Yuan's death, they should regard Gongsun Xiu as their master.
But now Xiangping City has been captured by Cao Wei, and they don't know whether Gongsun Xiu is dead or alive, so they have no choice but to listen to Sun Zong's opinion.
Sun Zong pondered for a long time, then smiled bitterly and said,
"If you want to survive...you have no choice but to surrender to the Wei army!"
Although he is a counselor, he considers himself to be far less intelligent than Yang Ling, and his prestige in Liaodong is far less than that of the Gongsun family.
In such a situation, it would be wise to surrender to the Wei army!
Everyone looked at me, and I looked at you, and finally nodded in unison.
Early the next morning, Sun Zong sent someone to contact Gan Ning and others in the city and expressed his willingness to surrender.
Gan Ning naturally welcomed this very much.
When Yang Ling led the Wei army to Xiangping City, almost all the troops originally belonging to the Gongsun family surrendered.
"Meet His Highness King Qi!"
Everyone saluted Yang Ling in unison.
"You don't have to be polite. I can win Xiangping this time. It's all thanks to you!"
Yang Ling smiled.
"Your Highness is too humble. His plan to seize the opportunity to attack the east and attack the west is simply too clever!"
Gan Ning immediately flattered him.
"No matter how clever the strategy is, it still depends on the unity of the soldiers."
Yang Ling said with a smile.
At this moment, Bei Yan held up Gongsun Yuan's head and stepped out from the crowd.
"Fortunately, the last general lived up to his command and killed the rebel Gongsun Yuan for His Highness the King of Qi!"
Yang Ling glanced at Gongsun Yuan's head and smiled with satisfaction,
"Thank you for your hard work, General! Oh, by the way, Xingba, I heard that you captured Gongsun Yuan's son?"
"That's right!"
Gan Ning nodded to the soldiers on the side.
After a while, Gongsun Xiu was brought up.
After seeing his father's head, he trembled with fright and quickly knelt down to Yang Ling.
"The son of the rebel Gongsun Yuan... Gongsun Xiu... met... met His Highness King Qi..."
"Gongsun Xiu, your father raised an army to resist the great Wei Dynasty. What do you have to say?"
Yang Ling narrowed his eyes and sneered.
Gongsun Xiu gritted his teeth, snatched Gongsun Yuan's head from Bei Yan's hand, and shouted a bit rudely,
"Have you seen, this is the fate of being a rebel!"
"Even my biological father must die!"
"A worthy death!"
"Sooner or later!"
Seeing this situation, everyone had expressions of disdain on their faces.
As the saying goes, dogs don't mind the family's poverty, and children don't mind the mother's ugliness.
After all, Gongsun Yuan is Gongsun Xiu's father. In order to survive, Gongsun Xiu would insult his father like this, which is really contemptible.
"Pah, pah, pah!"
Yang Ling clapped his hands and sneered,
"Gongsun Gongsun's righteousness in killing his relatives is really touching."
"It's a pity that a person like you who has no father and no king, who has abandoned his country and his family, does not deserve to live in this world."
"Someone is coming, behead all the Gongsun family members, hang their corpses on the city wall, and expose them to the sun for ten days, as a warning to others!"
As soon as the words fell, Gongsun Xiu collapsed on the ground.
