Chapter 290: The Newborn Calf

"Virtue will be your beauty, Tao will be your residence, your pupils are like a new calf, and there is no reason to ask for it." ----------- "Zhuangzi. Journey to the North》

It is said that Gongsun Zhixiao stayed overnight, overcame the mud and thick snow on the road, and finally rushed to Xiangping, the remote Liaodong County Governor's Office, at the end of winter.

Between 284 and 279 B.C., Yan attacked Qin Kai and broke through Donghu, and Donghu retreated thousands of miles and went deep into the barren. Qin opened Xiangping County and was Liaodong County. In the twenty-fifth year of Qin Shi Huang (222 BC), Qin conquered Liaodong. In the following year, the whole country was unified, and the world was divided into 36 counties, and Xiangping County was still classified as Liaodong County.

In the bitter cold land of the Northeast, there is still a dazzling history and many people who stir up the storm. As the so-called Tiangao Emperor is far away, Xiangping has long lost the authority of the emperor, it is more ruthless and bloody, the Gongsun Du family is the master here, and no one can have the strength to fight against the Gongsun family or replace it.

The only ones that posed a greater threat to the Gongsun family were Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla on the other side of the Baeksan and Black Waters. There are also small countries in the Northeast and the Korean Peninsula, including Donghao, Wofu, Buyeo, Gayage, Yusan, and Tamna. Before the Three Kingdoms period, the ancestors of Baekje and Silla annexed various tribal groups such as the Samhan (Mahan, Jinhan, and Benhan) to expand their territory and eventually establish a state. Goguryeo unified Buyeo, Wo-fu, Donghao, and other small states, occupying northern and northeastern parts of Korea. Later, the three small countries developed and matured, and a situation of the three heroes competing for hegemony on the Korean Peninsula was also formed. The closest and most threatening to Liaodong was Goguryeo, which was controlled by the Han Chinese, and it was during its heyday that it maintained its strong power on the Korean Peninsula, controlling most of the Korean Peninsula and part of the Liaodong Peninsula.

Gongsun Zhi entered Xiangping and successfully saw Gongsun Du, next to him stood a tall man as strong as a brown bear, with a black horizontal silk meat, big hands like a small wine jar, with a strong wildness, fierce eyes, daunting. Gongsun Zhi didn't know, but Gongsun Du personally introduced it, and it turned out to be his eldest son Gongsun Kang.

Although Gongsun Kang is young, he relies on his natural divine power and martial arts, and is known as the first warrior in Liaodong. Gongsun Du started his career as a small official in Xuansu County, and it was inevitable that he would be looked down upon by the people of Liaodong County. Originally, Gongsun Zhao, a native of Liaodong, acted as the commander of Xiangping County, and let Gongsun Kang serve as the commander. After Gongsun Du was appointed as the Taishou of Liaodong, he conquered Goguryeo in the east, Wuhuan in the west, and shocked overseas. Taking advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains, he called himself the Marquis of Liaodong and the pastor of Pingzhou, and dressed as the Son of Heaven.

In the official history, Gongsun Du died, and Gongsun Kang succeeded him as the Taishou of Liaodong, and gave the seal of the Marquis of Yongning Township, which Cao Cao had previously given to Gongsun Du, to his younger brother Gongsun Gong.

After Gongsun Kang inherited his father's throne, he was still "far from convinced". After Yuan Tan was defeated by Cao Cao, Cao Cao sent Zhang Liao to pacify the coastal area, Zhang Liao broke the Yingzhou assassin Shi Liuyi placed by Gongsun Du, and Gongsun Kang lost the Donglai counties that his father had run for many years. Gongsun Kang heard the news of Cao Cao's expedition, and said to the military advisor Liang Mao and the generals: "I heard that Cao Gong went on a long journey, and Yecheng has no preparation for defense, and now I want to use 30,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry to attack Yecheng directly, who can resist!" All the generals said, "Yes, very good!" Gongsun Kang looked at Liang Mao again and said, "What do you think of this idea?" ”

Ryomo replied: "There has been a great turmoil in the sea recently, and the country is about to collapse, and the general, you have a force of 100,000 troops, and you sit at home and watch the successes and failures of all sides, as a subordinate of the monarch, should this be the case?" Cao Gong was worried about the crisis and defeat of the country, took pity on the suffering and harm of the people, and led the righteous army to kill the murderous thieves for the people of the world. Because the country has just been pacified, and the people have initially settled down, there is no punishment for the general's crimes! But the general, if you want to raise an army to attack westward, then the effect of survival and destruction can not be decided in one morning. Hello General, do it yourself! When the generals heard Liang Mao's words, they were all extremely shocked. After a long time, Gongsun Kang said, "What Liang Mao said makes sense. So he gave up the plan to attack Yecheng.

In the twelfth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao personally conquered Wuhuan. In August, Wuhuan and Yuan Shangjun were defeated. Liaodong Shan Yu Su Fuyan and Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi brothers defected to Gongsun Kang, followed by thousands of cavalry. Someone persuaded Cao Cao to take advantage of the situation to pursue, and Cao Cao said: "I will ask Gongsun Kang to send the heads of Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi, and there is no need to work hard to mobilize the people." "I started teaching from Liucheng.

After Yuan Shang fled to Liaodong, he discussed with Yuan Xi and said: "Now that I am in Liaodong, Gongsun Kang will definitely see me, and I will kill him with my own hands for my brother and occupy Liaodong, which can also be used to expand my own power." Gongsun Kang also planned to capture Yuan Shang to invite merit, so he arranged strong and brave soldiers in the stable in advance, and then came out to invite Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi. Yuan Xi was suspicious and didn't want to go in, Yuan Shang forced him to go in, so Yuan Xi had to go in with him.

Before he could sit down, Gongsun Kang drank the ambush soldiers in all directions, captured the two in one fell swoop, and let the two sit on the frozen ground. Yuan Shang said to Gongsun Kang: "When you don't die, you can't stand the cold, can you give us a seat?" Gongsun Kang said: "Your head is about to travel thousands of miles, what do you want the mat for!" So he beheaded Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi, and sent them to Cao Cao along with Su Fuyan's head. One of the generals asked Cao Cao: "You have retired from the army and Gongsun Kang killed Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi, why is this?" Cao Cao said: "Gongsun Kang has always been afraid of Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi, if I attack in a hurry, they will join forces to resist; When they are in moderation, they kill each other; It was circumstances that made them do so. Cao Cao named Gongsun Kang as the Marquis of Xiangping and appointed him as the general of the left.

Since the reign of Bogu, Goguryeo has continuously invaded Liaodong, and has accepted more than 500 fleeing Hu people. In the fourteenth year of Jian'an, Gongsun Kang sent an army to attack Goguryeo, broke through its capital, burned the city, and Bogu's son Baqi complained that he was the eldest son but could not inherit the throne, so he and Juan Nujia led more than 30,000 people under their own command to surrender to Gongsun Kang.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Han Hao was strong, the county could not be restrained, and most of the people flowed into the Korean Peninsula. Later, Gongsun Kang divided the wasteland south of Tunyou County into Daifang County, and sent Gongsun Mo, Zhang Chang and others to collect displaced people from all over the country and raise troops to attack Han Hao, and the original residents left slightly.

After the death of Gongsun Kang, his sons Gongsun Huang and Gongsun Yuan were still young, and the officials of Liaodong promoted Gongsun Gong to serve as the Taishou of Liaodong. In the second year of the early Huang Dynasty, Emperor Cao Pi of Wei Wen was proclaimed emperor, and sent an envoy to appoint Gongsun Gong as the general of the chariot and cavalry, and the title of Marquis of Pingguo, and posthumously presented Gongsun Kang as the Great Sima.

Gongsun Yuan later said in the above table that Emperor Wei Ming pleaded for himself, and that Gongsun Kang had beheaded Sun Quan's envoy. Gongsun Gong gradually became a eunuch due to illness and could not govern Liaodong. Gongsun Yuan forced his uncle Gongsun Gong to take the throne. Emperor Wei Ming did not listen to Liu Ye's advice, and worshiped Gongsun Yuan as the general of Yanglie and the Taishou of Liaodong.

Soon after Gongsun Yuan took power, he began to correspond with the state of Wu, trying to make Wu a vassal as an external response. Sun Quan planned to canonize Gongsun Yuan as the king of Yan, and the Eastern Wu Dynasty advised Gu Yong, the prime minister of Eastern Wu, and Zhang Zhao, the general of Fuwu, that Gongsun Yuan would be defeated, so he opposed Sun Wu's support for Gongsun Yuan, which was not adopted by Sun Quan. Sun Quan sent Zhang Mi, Xu Yan and others, with gold and jade treasures, to establish Sun Yuan as the king of Yan.

Gongsun Yuan didn't expect Sun Quan to value himself so much, thinking that Eastern Wu was far away and Cao Wei was near, afraid of Cao Wei's crusade, and coveted the treasures sent by Eastern Wu, so he lured Wu envoys and dedicated his head to Emperor Ming. Emperor Ming then worshiped Gongsun Yuan as the great Sima, named the Duke of Lelang, and let him continue to hold the festival as the Taishou of Liaodong and lead the counties.

Emperor Ming sent envoys Fu Rong and Nie Kui to seal Gongsun Yuan Le Lang Gong, and the official sent to Luoyang by Gongsun Yuan said to Gongsun Yuan: "There is a man named Zuo Junbo in the mission, who is infinitely powerful and not an ordinary person. Gongsun Yuan was greatly frightened, so he led the armor to surround the school where the envoy lived, and then came out to meet the envoy, and several times to accompany the domestic guests to speak ill of the matter, after the envoy returned to Luoyang, he explained the matter to Emperor Ming.

Emperor Ming sent Youzhou to assassinate Shi Biqiu Jian and others, carrying letters and seals to recruit Gongsun Yuan. When Gongsun Yuan heard the news, he immediately sent troops to block Biqiujian in the Liao Tunnel and started a fierce battle with him. Seeing that the situation was unfavorable to him, Biqiu Jian withdrew his troops.

Gongsun Yuan then set himself up as the king of Yan, changed the Yuan Shaohan, and set up a hundred officials, sent envoys to hold the talisman festival, granted the Xianbei Shan Yu seal ribbon, added the title of Jin Jue to the border ethnic minorities, and lured the Xianbei people to invade the north. He once again claimed to be subordinate to Wu, hoping to get foreign aid.

Emperor Ming recalled Sima Yi, the chief lieutenant, and ordered him to lead 40,000 troops to attack Gongsun Yuan. In June, the troops reached Liaodong. Gongsun Yuan sent generals Bei Yan and Yang Zuo to lead more than 10,000 people on foot and cavalry to garrison the Liao Tunnel and dig trenches for more than 20 miles around. Sima Yi's army arrived at the Liao Tunnel, and Gongsun Yuan ordered Beiyan to challenge. Sima Yi sent Hu Zun to fight against him, and Beiyan was defeated. Sima Yi ordered the sergeants to break through the bereaved entrenchment, lead the troops to the southeast, and then suddenly turn northeast and go straight to Xiangping. Bei Yan and others were afraid that there would be no defenders in Xiangping, so they rushed to Xiangping overnight for reinforcements. Marching to Shouyang Mountain, Gongsun Yuan ordered a decisive battle with Sima Yi again, and this time, Beiyan was defeated again.

Sima Yi then led his troops straight to the city of Liao Tunnel and dug a trench. It happened that it was raining heavily for more than 30 days, and the water in Liao was soaring, and Sima Yi's transport ship could sail straight from Liaokou to the city of Liao Tunnel. As soon as the rain stopped, Sima Yi immediately piled up mounds around the city, built watchtowers, prepared a large number of stones, and fired them straight into the city with a crossbow. Gongsun Yuan was afraid and anxious, the food in the city was exhausted, and people began to eat people, and countless people died, Yang Zuo and others surrendered.

One night in August, a large meteor about 10 zhang long fell from the northeast of Shoushan to the southeast of Xiangping City. Not long after, Gongsun Yuan's entire army was defeated, and he and his son Gongsun Xiu broke through to the southeast with hundreds of cavalry and fled. Sima Yi's army chased after him, and killed Gongsun Yuan's father and son at the place where the meteor fell to the ground. The Liao Tunnel City was breached, thousands of officials below the Xiangguo were beheaded, the head of Gongsun Yuan was sent to Luoyang, and Liaodong, Daifang, Lelang, Xuansu and other places were also pacified.

At the beginning, there were several abnormalities in Gongsun Yuan's family: the dog went to the house in official clothes and official hats; There are children who are steamed to death in the pot while cooking. The mayor of Xiangping North produced a piece of meat, several feet in circumference, with a head, eyes and mouth, no hands and feet, but it could move. The soothsayer said: "Whatever is visible but not fully formed, and which has the organs of the head but cannot make a sound, this strange thing should perish in whatever country appears." "Sure enough.

The vein of the Gongsun family in Liaodong is roughly that the emperor of Tiangao is far away and establishes himself as the king. But it doesn't mean that Gongsun Du has no ambitions for Youzhou. After Gongsun Zhi finished talking about Liu Yu preparing to go to Gongsun Zhan, Gongsun Kang jumped up, waved his giant palm and said, "Father, do it!" ”
