Chapter 239: Life and Death Are the Same

A few days later, Tai Shi Ci ordered people to carry Liu Yi's head with a gun, and when he came down to Xiangping City to praise his martial arts, the glimmer of hope in Gongsun Du's heart was also annihilated. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

It was the third watch of the night, the moon stars were scarce, and in the faint moonlight, a team of people in Nancheng quietly arrived. The captain of the Nancheng garrison flickered in the light of the fire, recognized the person who came, and said in a low voice: "Gong Li, in the future, our brothers' families are small, so please bother more." ”

An old voice sounded in the night: "Captain Wang, please relax, as long as the old man goes out of the city safely, he will ensure that you and your family have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life in the coming days." ”

Captain Wang's voice changed from sad to happy: "That's good, that's good." So he waved his hand, and when the soldiers behind him saw the warrant, they turned and rushed towards the city gate, and when they were about to open the city gate, there was a sudden fire.

I saw countless black shadows emerging around me, and the torches were raised together, reflecting the faces of Captain Wang and the head of the Li family. A resentful voice suddenly sounded: "Good! Very good! As I expected, wait for the dog thief! I want to dedicate the city! I want to sell my lord for glory! Are you not afraid of the clan? ”

Gongsun Du rode on his horse and slowly walked out of the darkness. At this time, he was dressed all over, with a sword hanging from his waist, and looked at the people who wanted to escape from the city with a sneer.

The head of the Li family looked at the archers around him, shook his gray beard and sighed: "Junhou, Xiangping is hopeless, why don't you let me wait for a way out?" ”

Gongsun Du laughed out loud: "Old horseman! Liu Bei wants Benhou's head, and what he wants is Benhou's Liaodong! How can you get into his eyes? Thou shalt sit in the midst of the city, shut thy doors, and keep thee unharmed. But you are bent on offering the city and selling the lord, how can I tolerate such an act? ”

The head of the Li family was silent for a while, and said: "Junhou, Liaodong is about to change the sky, in Xiangping City, there are names and surnames, who doesn't want to ask for a future?" Prince, I'm sorry. ”

Gongsun Du was furious and shouted: "Then you will die!" ”

The head of the Li family was facing the threat of death, but he smiled strangely and said, "Prince, do you know why the people who are here with me tonight are all the old and weak of all the families?" Since we have decided to dedicate the city, how can we not guard against the prince? We deliberately leaked the news, so that the prince knew that we were waiting from Nancheng tonight. The prince didn't know that at this time, in addition to the southern city, the three cities had been opened! I waited for the death of old age, but I kept the young essence of the Xiangping family, it was worth it! But it's a pity that the prince's family is small! Hahahahaha! ”

After listening to this, Gongsun Du's face changed greatly, and when he turned his head sideways to listen carefully, there seemed to be a faint sound of shouting and killing everywhere. Gongsun Du couldn't help but be furious, and shouted: "Do it! ”

For a while, the arrows rained down, and even the guards of the southern city were all nailed to the ground. Gongsun Du turned over and dismounted, drew his sword, paced to the Li family master who was still struggling on the ground, bent down, and said with a low smile: "Good to teach the old man to know that the son of a certain son has a small family and has already left the city!" If it is death, what is there to fear! ”

Seeing the fear and disappointment in the eyes of the Li family master, Gongsun Du smiled proudly, picked up the sword, and slashed dozens of times in a row, chopping the Li family master into meat puree, and then stopped.

Gongsun Dufang got on the horse, and saw a soldier galloping over: "My lord, the east and west city gates have been lost, and the families in the city have colluded with the Qingzhou army outside the city, and the Qingzhou army has entered the city at this time. ”

Gongsun Du was very angry, although his second son had fled, but his younger brother Gongsun Ping died tragically outside the city, he wanted to drag the whole city to bury him together, but he didn't expect that the families were very cunning, after being threatened by him, he still came up with this plan to survive, but the old died, but also the small escape......

Gongsun Du was a little disheartened at this time, so he waved his hand and said, "Since the Qingzhou army has entered the city, you will also put down your weapons and surrender." ”

Some guards couldn't help but say: "Lord, why not take advantage of the chaos to get out of the city, not to mention the comeback, it must not be difficult to choose a place to hide." We swear to death to protect the Lord's safety. ”

Gongsun Du can dominate Liaodong, and naturally he is not a bastard, and he naturally has hardcore henchmen. Seeing that the guards were like this, Gongsun Du shook his head with a smile and said, "Let's go back to the house first." ”

When they arrived at the house, the officials had already been scattered, and all the archives and documents were everywhere, like thieves. Seeing that the neat place in the past was now messy, Gongsun Du sighed, summoned the guards and servants who had not yet left, and said: "You have followed me for many years, and you are not loyal, and there is still some money and wealth in the house, so you will divide it, and then you will run for your life." I heard that the military discipline of the Qingzhou army is excellent, as long as you don't resist, you will be fine. ”

As soon as these words fell, everyone knelt and mourned. The pro-military captain said sadly: "How is the lord treated? ”

Gongsun Du was silent for a moment, and then said in a loud voice: "This is the Liaodong Hou Mansion!" A certain is the Marquis of Liaodong and the pastor of Pingzhou! This is so-and-so's home, and so-and-so is not going anywhere! ”

These words were loud, and Gongsun Du returned to his former image of being invincible and full of confidence at this time. So several people shouted: "The villain will not leave!" The villain is willing to die with the lord! ”

Gongsun Du scolded and scolded and drove away more than half of the people, but in the end, there were still a few people who were unwilling to leave. Gongsun Du took a look, and these were all old people who had followed him for many years. Gongsun Du said with a smile: "It's okay, it's rare that our master and servant can still die together, and go buy some wine and food, you and I will have a full meal, and then go to Huangquan together." ”

The servant turned and went to the backyard, when a voice came from far and near: "Lord! Lord! ”

Gongsun Du looked at it, but it was Yang Yi, surprised and delighted, and said, "Why is Yang Qing still here?" ”

Yang Yi didn't return, but grabbed the belt of Gongsun Du's robe and said hurriedly: "Why is the lord still staying here, you can leave with me!" ”

Gongsun Du didn't move, and said with a smile: "Yangqing, the world is so big, where is my place?" I will die now, and I will live up to my crisscrossing Liaodong. Thou shalt go. ”

Yang Yi cried: "Since following the lord to Liaodong, a certain lord has been deeply favored, and now Xiangping has this calamity, how can I flee behind the lord?" I would like to die here from my lord. ”

Gongsun Du persuaded again, but Yangyi just didn't listen, so the main ministers and ministers drank a lot. When the Qingzhou army was killed in front of the house, it set fire to itself. burned, a torch burned the huge Hou Mansion to the ground.

Huang Zhong led the generals into the city, and when he saw Gongsun Du Ganglie like this, he couldn't help but sigh. Afterwards, the corpse was collected, but only Gongsun Du, Yang Yi, and the guards and servants were found, but Gongsun Du's family was small but nowhere to be seen. Huang Zhong said: "Xiangping is broken, and Liaodong is flattened. The nobody, that's it! ”

So on the one hand, he asked Lu Min and Cui Yan to arrange people to care for the people, and on the other hand, they went to Qingzhou to report the victory. At the same time, the troops were divided, so that Guan Yu led the crowd to Xuansu, and Tai Shici led the crowd to Lelang. Two counties were divided.

In the domestic city, Gao Jian was in the palace at this time, and he told the king of Goguryeo in detail about his encounter with the Gongsun Kang brothers in Fanhan City.

Then he said: "Father, if Gongsun Kang Dao sends reinforcements, he will cut Xuansu to make me Goguryeo." I don't know what my father wants? ”

The king of Goguryeo half-squinted, and after listening, he said, "Wang Er has behaved well this time. I will discuss this matter carefully with my ministers before I consider it. ”

Gao Jian listened to his father's praise, his heart was overjoyed, and when he retreated, he said: "Father, the soldiers are fast, and I hope that my father will hurry up!" ”

On the second day, the king of Goguryeo told his ministers about this, and asked them to discuss whether it was feasible or not.

The ministers started talking, and some said that Gongsun Du, the horseman, would move his knife at us at every turn, and this time he would not move, and he would be happy to see him die.

Some said, I'm afraid I still have to save it, Gongsun Kang is right, the Central Plains soldiers have always been elite, and even Gongsun Du can't resist it, let alone us. If Gongsun Du is destroyed, then what Qingzhou army is coming to fight us again, what should we do?

Some of them said, "Nonsense!" Liaodong was under the command of Marquis Liu Jun, the Mu of Youzhou, but it was privately occupied by Gongsun Du. I heard that the Qingzhou army crossed the sea to attack Gongsun Du, and it was also to avenge Gongsun Du's revenge for sending troops to conquer Donglai without authorization in the past. It has something to do with my Goguryeo. And Liu Junhou of Youzhou has always been benevolent and does not like to use swords. As long as I, Goguryeo, do not take the initiative to provoke the border, I think that in the future, whether Liaodong is Youzhou or Qingzhou, the two families will definitely be fine. There is no need for the king to send troops to rescue Gongsun Du, so as not to anger Qingzhou......

The ministers are divided into several gangs, you say yours, I say mine. The noise made the head of the King of Goguryeo almost explode. The king of Goguryeo thought about the fertile territory of Liaodong, but he did not know the details of the Qingzhou army. Looking ahead, he vetoed every opinion raised by the ministers.

In the end, a guy figured out the mind of the king of Goguryeo, so he said: "King, let's not help anyone, not Gongsun Du, and not help the Qingzhou army." It's just that Xuanju is my Goguryeo homeland, and the royal city is also there. Had to take it. The Qingzhou army confronted Gongsun Du, and he didn't have time to take care of these little things. It's better for me to send troops to Goguryeo, take Xuansu directly, and recover the old capital. Even if the Qingzhou Army and Youzhou Liu Junhou know, they should also understand. ”

Since Wang Mang's general Yan You booby-trapped the king of Goguryeo and Goguryeo became independent, Liaodong and Goguryeo have been fighting non-stop. In the fourth year of Jianwu, the army of Liaodong Taishou conquered Goguryeo, and the king of Goguryeo was forced to move the capital to today's domestic city. Although nominally paying tribute to the Han Dynasty, Goguryeo never stopped encroaching on the lands of Liaodong. And for more than 100 years, the intermittent war has never stopped.

Therefore, the crooked reasoning that this person just said is also reasonable. But isn't it, it's not that you Han people killed my first king for no reason, we Goguryeo people are still living well in Xuansu. Do you need to retreat here? When the king of Goguryeo heard this, he clapped his hands, ah, that's what he said, that's the reason.

Xuansu is my homeland, and Goguryeo County is my royal city, why can't it be owned by me? Now that the Qingzhou Army and Gongsun Du are fighting to the death, we will send troops to take Xuanxuan and swallow it in our stomachs first. When the time comes, it's a big deal to go to Liu Youzhou and cry again, and pay more tribute.

But he forgot that the deafening voice that the big man once made: "Those who commit strong men will be punished even if they are far away!" "Countless sons and daughters of the Han family, throwing their heads and spilling blood, have always done this. Even if it was the chaos in the Central Plains and Gongsun Du seized Liaodong, he did it, and he was worthy of the duty of a Han family's son!

It is a pity that the consistent greed has blinded the Goguryeo people.
