After a short discussion, Cao Pi and the other three could not come up with a feasible solution.
In addition, the night was already deep, so we had no choice but to leave it at that.
After days of running around and working hard, fatigue has already gripped everyone.
In order to show the friendship between brothers, under the leadership of Cao Pi, they finally slept together on the same bed.
This is also the first true witness of family affection since birth.
Before that, even in the wild, everyone slept separately without disturbing each other.
The next day, when the sun rose three poles high, the three of them slowly woke up.
For the first time in more than a month, they felt safe and sound, allowing them to sleep extremely soundly.
After enjoying the meal that had been prepared for them, the three of them prepared to get up and go to the prefect's mansion.
Wang Lie is still recovering from his illness, but the Han army will not stand still.
Several groups of scouts were sent out yesterday, and if they were quick, there would be news by now.
Just as he walked out of the door, he happened to meet the guards of the Taishou Mansion who came to inform him that Gongsun Kang also wanted to meet the three people.
Cao Pi quickly took Cao Zhang and Cao Zhi to the prefect's mansion.
Under normal circumstances, Gongsun Kang would avoid meeting Cao Pi in order to avoid embarrassment.
Now they have sent people to look for him, there must be something important.
Silently all the way, he quickly arrived at the gate of the prefect's mansion.
The footsteps of Cao Pi and the others stopped unconsciously.
"Haha, this is fast enough!"
Looking at the plaque above his head, Cao Zhi couldn't help but sneer.
Very late last night, it was still the prefect's mansion.
Today it has become the state pastoral office.
The speed is really shocking!
"snort."
Cao Pi also snorted softly.
Originally, his plaque for Prince Wei's Mansion should also be put on the agenda, but as a result, there is no chance for the time being.
Looking at the three characters "zhoumufu" now, it really makes people feel unhappy!
"Hey, what a coincidence!"
At this moment, a familiar voice came from not far away.
It was Bei Yan who was beaten into a dog by Cao Zhang yesterday.
"General humble..."
Cao Pi did not dare to be careless. After yesterday's duel, the relationship between the two parties will only gradually deteriorate!
"Mr. Cao, did you have a good rest last night?"
Bei Yan bowed his hands in salute, his face was full of kindness, which was beyond Cao Pi's expectation.
"Thank you for your concern, General Bei. Good luck to you alone."
Bei Yan nodded slightly and made a gesture of invitation.
"Master Cao is also invited by Lord Zhou Mu, right? Please."
Cao Pi originally wanted to ask about the specific situation, but after thinking about it, he decided not to.
Bei Yan probably didn't want to tell him.
"Thank you."
Without being polite, he led Cao Zhang and Cao Zhi into the house first.
At this time, Bei Yan showed a look of hatred.
How can we understand yesterday's humiliation?
"Cao, let's wait and see!"
Cursing secretly, Bei Yan also entered the house.
We can't be hasty in dealing with Cao Pi and the other three, but Bei Yan can still endure it.
Entering the lobby, Gongsun Kang was already waiting.
When he saw Cao Pi, he immediately greeted him and greeted him cordially.
"Mr. Cao, how did you rest last night?"
"Thank you so much... Zhou Mu is thinking about me, I am so lonely!"
Cao Pi said something polite and got straight to the point.
"Zhou Mu is looking for you urgently, but there is news from the Han army?"
"Exactly!"
Gongsun Kang was no longer polite.
Just as Bei Yan entered the house, he stretched out his hand to greet him.
"General Bei, come and tell Mr. Cao."
"As you command!"
Bei Yan is extremely serious and has no abnormality.
"Mr. Cao, the latest news came this morning."
"After Tian Yu rebelled, all counties in Youzhou surrendered to Liu Zhang. Currently, there are 50,000 Han troops stationed in Youbeiping County."
"Gone?"
After waiting for a long time, Bei Yan still had nothing to say, so Cao Pi couldn't help but ask.
There is no need to tell you this situation, you can guess it!
As a result, Bei Yan shook his head.
"Gone."
Cao Pi was too lazy to talk nonsense with Bei Yan and looked at Gongsun Kang in confusion.
"Gongsun Zhoumu, is there anything urgent about this?"
"Master Cao, don't you think you're in a hurry?"
Like Cao Pi, Gongsun Kang was also full of surprise.
"You Beiping County is connected to Liaoxi County, and the Han army will invade Honshu Mu's territory at any time!"
"This is urgent, isn't it urgent?"
Cao Pi was even more incredible.
It would be fine if he didn't experience it personally. He had traveled from Youbeiping to Liaodong himself.
Liaoxi County has a vast territory, but there are no people at all, and Gongsun Kang is also in a laissez-faire state.
Before the Han army captured Youbeiping, there were not many garrison troops.
Whether there can be 2,000 people in the county is a question mark.
Until it was close to the vassal state of Liaodong and Yangle, the seat of Liaoxi County. Only then could he truly enter Gongsun Kang's sphere of influence.
But Yangle was close to the Liaodong vassal state, and Changli, where it was governed, formed a dichotomy. Combined with the originally easy-to-defend but difficult-to-attack terrain, it was enough to not be afraid of any invading enemies.
Even if you don't consider the relationship between Yangle and Changli, the vast area of Liaoxi County alone is enough to not be afraid.
From Youbeiping County to Yangle County in Liaoxi County, the distance is so long that the infantry can walk for several days and nights!
Taking into account the relationship between logistical supplies and off-site operations, the time will only be longer.
It can be said that the Han army in Youbeiping does not need to worry at all.
"Gongsun Zhoumu, the closest thing to here in Youbeiping County is Shangyin City. Not to mention the distance between Shangyin City and Xiangping, even the distance from Yangle in Liaoxi County is enough to give the Han army a headache. Bar?"
"Gu came all the way from Youbeiping. Western Liaoning is extremely poor. This must be the reason why Zhou Mu gave up a large area of Western Liaoning County, right?"
Gongsun Kang was surprised for a moment and then admitted.
"Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from Young Master Cao. This is indeed the case."
"Western Liaoning was the area hardest hit by foreign attacks before, so it was very barren and sparsely populated. Although the terrain there is mountainous and there are many steep places, supply is extremely difficult."
"In desperation, I had to give up. This was also the plan made by my late father."
"Vacating a large area of land in western Liaoning is also a gesture of goodwill to the King of Wei and reduces a lot of unnecessary friction."
