Liaodong County, Xiangping County.
This is Gongsundu's base camp.
When Gongsun Du was young, he followed Dong Zhuo's path and became the governor of Liaodong through his fellow countryman Xu Rong. He was a minor official in Liaodong County, and he was very clear about the problems and situations in Liaodong. After serving as the governor, he quickly eliminated the powerful people in Liaodong and killed those who opposed him.
When the Central Plains was in chaos, Gongsun Du directly separatized Liaodong and called himself Marquis of Liaodong.
In the past few years, Gongsundu continued to expand and almost dominated Liaodong and became the overlord of Liaodong. Even the neighboring foreign states such as Goguryeo and Fuyu were afraid of Gongsundu.
Such good days gradually changed with the arrival of Gan Ning and Pang Tong.
After Gan Ning established his foothold in Tashi County, coupled with Pang Tong's plan, the troops sent by Gongsun Du were defeated one after another. Gongsun Du personally led the army to fight and stabilized the situation. Even so, Gongsun Du could barely suppress Gan Ning only by relying on his large numbers, leaving Gan Ning and Pang Tong temporarily trapped in Dashi County.
Gongsun Du wanted to destroy Gan Ning, but he did not have enough power, so his expansion stopped.
Gongsun Du's prestige was greatly affected. The surrounding countries that obeyed Gongsun Du, or the local forces that respected Gongsun Du, began to have second thoughts and began to obey Gongsun Du.
This made Gongsun Du very angry.
He wanted to dominate Liaodong and sweep it away in one go, but he encountered obstacles along the way.
In the study of the Liaodong Hou Mansion.
When Gongsun Du was looking through the intelligence, he suddenly saw the intelligence from Dashi County. He discovered that Gan Ning had quietly left with his army in the direction of Liaoxi County.
Although he had just received the news, Gongsun Du felt that his opportunity had come.
Gan Ning left, leaving Dashi County empty.
This is opportunity.
"Come here, please notify Yang Yi and Liu Yi to discuss matters."
Gongsun Du has a do-it-yourself character, so he immediately makes arrangements. He was so excited that he stood up and walked back and forth in the study. The resistance to his unification of the entire Liaodong Peninsula lies in Gan Ning. As long as Gan Ning is removed, no one will dare to be his enemy.
Not long after, Yang Yi and Liu Yi arrived.
Yang Yi is a counselor and Liu Yi is a military commander. Both of them are Gongsun Du's confidants.
After the two saluted, Gongsun Du asked them to sit down and said directly: "I have received news that Gan Ning led an army to leave Dashi County. I think now is the opportunity to take back Dashi County and destroy Gan Ning's foundation. Now In the Han Dynasty, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and Lu Xuan became kings. I have recaptured Dashi County and it is time to become king. The Marquis of Liaodong is not enough to carry my reputation."
Gongsun Du in history wanted to be the emperor, but in the end he established himself as the King of Liaodong.
Yang Yi's eyes were bright and she said cautiously: "Master Hou, Gan Ning's military tactics are very cunning and cunning. He has plotted against us several times. Is the news coming out this time another plot by Gan Ning?"
Liu Yi said solemnly: "Gan Ning came out of nowhere. His army is not large, but it is very elite. Lord Marquis, we still have to be cautious and not be careless."
Gongsun Du chuckled and said: "Although we still don't know where Gan Ning came from, this time he really left Dashi County and went to Liaoxi County. We don't care what his intentions are. But, Having the opportunity to take back Dashi County is the most important thing."
"Boom! Boom!"
There was a knock on the door.
Gongsun Kang's urgent voice came from outside the study. Gongsun Kang said urgently: "Dad, something big has happened."
"Come in."
Gongsun Du gave an order.
Gongsun Kang looked twenty years old, with a thin figure and sharp eyebrows.
He entered the study, saluted Gongsun Du, sat down, and said quickly: "There is news from Liaoxi County that Lord Wuhuan Tadun was killed. Lord Wuhuan was in trouble and all were killed, and the Wuhuan people were almost wiped out."
Gongsun Du had a shocked look on his face. Although he was ambitious, he never thought about destroying the Wuhuan people.
These Wuhuan people are quite difficult to deal with.
Very difficult to attack.
Gongsun Du took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, and said in a deep voice: "Kang'er, what's going on?"
Yang Yi and Liu Yi also looked over.
There were also shocked expressions on their faces because the news was so shocking.
Gongsun Kang replied: "Father, it was Lu Xuan, King of Wu of the Han Dynasty, who led his men to destroy Wuhuan. In addition, Gan Ning was Lu Xuan's man. This time Lu Xuan destroyed Wuhuan, Gan Ning also led his troops to participate. "
"It is said that Lu Xuan only used four thousand cavalry to defeat Wu Huan, killing Nan Lou, Lou Ban, Su Pu Yan and Wu Yan. Finally, Lu Xuan and Gan Ning's armies merged and killed Got the floor class."
Gongsun Kang had a look of fear in his eyes.
Lu Xuan is too cruel.
Four thousand cavalry entered Wuhuan and killed Wuhuan until rivers of blood flowed. Even the famous generals in ancient times could only do this.
"Lu Xuan, why did Lu Xuan come to Liaodong?"
Gongsun Du replied with some disappointment.
There were no other princely powers in Liaodong, and his family was the only one. Now, Lu Xuan intervenes, and Gan Ning is Lu Xuan's man. With Lu Xuan's strength dominating the south, it will be too easy to deal with him.
Tadun was destroyed, let alone him?
Gongsun Du's mouth was a little dry. He took a sip of tea, looked at Gongsun Kang again and said, "Where is Lu Xuanren? Has he stayed in Youzhou?"
"No!"
Gongsun Kang shook his head and said in a panic: "Dad, Lu Xuan is coming to Xiangping County. He has arranged for someone to send a message asking us to surrender, otherwise we will be killed without mercy."
Gongsun Du's mind seemed to be filled with thunder.
Completely lost.
He has been running Liaodong for almost ten years, and he has put a lot of effort into creating the current structure.
Lu Xuan asked him to surrender, what should he do?
I am not willing to hand over Liaodong. If you don't hand over Liaodong, you can't defeat Lu Xuan. After all, Lu Xuan is too good at fighting. If he refuses to surrender, the family may be destroyed. Gongsun Du would never give in if he saw even the slightest opportunity.
Unfortunately, there is no chance at all.
It's so disappointing.
Gongsun Du's mind was buzzing. He looked at Yang Yi and Liu Yi and said in a deep voice, "What do you think?"
Yang Yi replied: "Reporting to the Marquis, if Lu Xuan is defeated by the Wuhuan people, it will be easy to handle. Now Lu Xuan comes to Xiangping County with a big victory. He is the king's division and cannot be dealt with at all."
"When the people learn that it is Lu Xuan, they will definitely be willing to submit to Lu Xuan. Lu Xuan has already gained an advantage in the hearts of the people."
"In addition, it was easy for Lu Xuan to destroy Wuhuan. Now Lu Xuan's army has joined Gan Ning. We had a difficult time fighting originally and were unable to deal with Gan Ning. Now that Lu Xuan has personally led his troops, it is difficult to deal with it."
Yang Yi sighed and said: "Hibiscus boldly believes that it is difficult to win now that the strength and popular support are not there."
Liu Yi said in a deep voice: "Soldiers in the army will definitely be afraid once they learn about Lu Xuan. The morale of the army will also be shaken."
Gongsun Du also nodded.
This result is obvious.
Gongsun Du looked at Gongsun Kang and asked, "Kang'er, you are always smart. What do you think?"
Gongsun Kang smiled sadly and said: "Father, Lu Xuan's strength is too strong. We can only submit to Lu Xuan. If we are far away from Lu Xuan and Lu Xuan's army cannot come to Liaodong, we can ignore it. Lu Xuan came in person. This There’s nothing we can do.”
Gongsun Du was now over forty years old. He was originally full of energy, but now his eyes were lost, giving people the feeling of twilight. He pondered for a long time, and finally ordered: "Surrender."
He looked at Gongsun Kang again and ordered: "Kang'er, you make the arrangements. When Lu Xuan arrives, notify me to leave the city and surrender."
"Here!"
Gongsun Kang bowed and answered.
He, Yang Yi, and Liu Yi got up and left to prepare for the next surrender.
