Chapter 234: Cross-Sea Crusade (6)

Gongsun was as fierce as fire, and after coming to Liaodong, in order to eradicate dissidents, he destroyed more than 100 families in Liaodong. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Countless lives in the hands. How can he say anything?

Even if Liu Bei could tolerate him and the court could forgive him, he would not surrender. At that time, there is no power in his hands, Xiangping and the enemies of Liaodong took revenge, it doesn't matter if he dies, but what about his own son and the clan? How do you protect them?

Therefore, Gongsun Du has been thinking about the way back since he came down from the city wall just now. He thought very clearly, first unknowingly got his two sons' families out, and then took his younger brother and two sons out of the city to ask for help. At that time, let Gongsun Ping go to Liaoyang, and the two sons dived to Lelang. Everything else goes according to the plan. At that time, no matter what happens to Xiangping City, the bloodline of his Gongsun family will survive after all. In that case, even if you die, you will be satisfied.

Seeing Gongsun Kang and Gongsun Gong crying and crying, Gongsun Du couldn't help but be angry, and said: "Lao Tzu is not dead yet, what are you crying for!" ”

Gongsun Du had a sudden seizure, but the two sons were startled, stopped their tears, and looked at their father. Seeing the horror on his son's face, Gongsun Du slowed down his voice again and said, "Don't worry, Liu Zhongjian led a thousand horsemen out of the city to attack the Qingzhou military grain road, maybe there will be good news in the near future." This arrangement for my father is just to leave a way back for my grandson. Wait for you to stand down. ”

On the second day, when the Qingzhou army began to plan to throw stones again, a figure appeared on the city wall. This person is Yang Yi, a Confucian crown and a wide robe, and the halberd pointed at the Qingzhou army under the city, and shouted angrily: "Ah! The Qingzhou army under the city is rampant! You and others have violated the border for no reason, causing countless deaths and injuries to the people of Liaodong, which is very unkind! Aren't you afraid that my Liaodong soldiers and civilians will fight to the death? ”

When Huang Zhong heard this, he couldn't help but laugh, he had never been too lazy to stir up this kind of verbal dispute, but he was also idle when he was idle, so he looked at Lu Min and Cui Yan. saw Lu Min drive his horse out of the ranks, marched to the front of the battle, and said loudly: "The people in the city, you can listen to my words: Gongsun Du, the traitor is also!" To Liaodong is too guarded, not to serve the Son of Heaven to shepherd the people. but he did the opposite, and cut off the land to stand on his own feet. There were many killings, and countless gentry in Liaodong were punished, so that rivers of blood flowed and the people were resentful. Gongsun Du is still not self-sufficient, and he dares to cross the sea to invade my Qingzhou. Now my lord asks the king to send the king's division to defeat the ministers! Where the king goes, you still don't introspect and intend to resist, what a pity to die! The people in the city can quickly tell Gongsun Du, if you don't descend quickly, the king will enter the city, and you will be all powdered immediately, and then don't say that I am unpredictable! ”

After Lu Min finished speaking, the army behind him shouted in unison: "Kill!" Kill! Kill! Yang Yi was taken aback, and without saying a word, he didn't care about affecting the morale of his army, so he ran down and disappeared.

Seeing this, the three armies under the city couldn't help but burst into laughter.

The night was twilight, outside the city of Xiangping, but the fire was blazing in the Qingzhou military camp, and the soldiers were patrolling back and forth, concentrating on vigilance to prevent all accidents from happening. In the tent, the generals were seated one by one, listening to the scout's report.

After listening, Huang Zhong said with a smile: "As expected, in addition to the army team that quietly went out of the city before and didn't know what to do, two more groups of people were sent, one to the north, it seems that it is going to Liaoyang City, and the other is to the east, it is estimated that it is going to Lelang." Okay, just wait for them to bring in reinforcements and fight it out. When the time comes, you will have a pot of rice and save trouble. ”

Guan Yu looked at the map and said casually: "The army that went out of the city before must have attacked our army's food route, and I don't know if Ziyi can eat this army." ”

Huang Zhong said: "With the ability of Ziyi, you should be able to protect my grain without worry!" ”

The rear stretched for hundreds of miles from the sea to the front line in Xiangping, and they naturally took into account the safety of the grain route. He had already sent Tai Shi Ci to lead a branch of fine horses out to secretly swim and protect the grain road.

Naturally, the two brothers Gongsun Ping and Gongsun Kang and Gongsun Gong went out of the city this time. In order to avoid the confusion in the city, Gongsun Du announced that he was sending the children of the Gongsun family to Liaoyang and Lelang to ask for help. Everyone saw that Gongsun Du was stable and calm, and he had to stay for a while, but they were also relieved. Outside the city, Shiligang, Gongsun Ping and Gongsun Kang, the two brothers, said goodbye and said: "Da Lang, Erlang, the matter is urgent, please hurry all the way along the way, to Dele Lang, Haosheng said to listen to Tai Shou, let him send troops quickly." If Liaodong loses, he will not keep his name. ”

The two brothers nodded yes, but they secretly thought in their hearts, uncle, let's say goodbye, but I don't know if we can see each other one day.

Gongsun Ping didn't know the situation, but he was very anxious about the situation in Xiangping. In recent years, after the rise of Gongsun Du in Liaodong, it has brought great benefits to the Gongsun people. After enjoying power, money and beauty, and then thinking that if Xiangping fell, he would immediately become an ordinary person in the past, no, he might be worse than ordinary people. Gongsun Ping was so angry with Liu Bei and the Qingzhou Army that he gritted his teeth.

Gongsun Ping rode a horse, and along the way, people did not leave the saddle, and the horse did not leave the whip, and galloped all the way to Liaoyang. Gongsun Ping is used to enjoying it, how can he have suffered such hardships, and both strands are grinding blood. When you enter the city, you will cry and scream. On the one hand, he ordered someone to invite Langzhong, and on the other hand, he ordered someone to invite the guards of Liaoyang City.

This Liaoyang is not the Liaoyang of later generations. This Liaoyang City is one of the six cities under the jurisdiction of Xuanwu County. Close to Xiaoliaoshui, it has always been the flank of Xiangping.

After Liaoyang Shou came, Gongsun Ping hurriedly shouted: "Please also ask the general to quickly hold my seal letter, and quickly go to Gaoguli City to ask Taishou to send troops, 100,000 are urgent!" ”

He rushed all the way to Liaoyang, which was already the limit. The elder brother also ordered that the Liaoyang advance troops who were relatively close should come, and the men and horses of Goguryicheng should be almost there. If you wait for the horses to arrive together and then set off, you can't imagine that Xiangping has already been breached.

Liaoyang guard general is the old department of the Gongsun clan, has always been loyal to Gongsun Du, checked that the seal letter is true, and then ordered the messenger to gallop to Xuansu County to govern Gaoju Licheng through the military post road. And he also ordered his subordinates to reorganize their armaments and be ready to go out to Xiangping at any time. He also figured it out, anyway, it was already tied to the Gongsun family, one was prosperous, and one was lost, if he didn't fight at this time, when would he stay?

The messenger arrived at Xuansu, who read the letter and fell silent. He was originally an official of the imperial court, and it was unlucky enough to be assigned to the border of this place as an official. Who would have thought that what was even more unlucky was to run into the bastard Gongsun Du. He actually took advantage of the collapse of the Central Plains and took the opportunity to stand on his own. Then he sent troops to sweep away Lelang, Xuansu, and Liaodong vassal states. Xuansu was poor and small, there were only six cities in the whole county, and there were only tens of thousands of people who fled. At that time, as soon as Taishou saw that something was wrong, he immediately descended, and personally went out of the city to sacrifice the city, leaving his life behind. Whoever is too good in this official will do it.

As a result, Gongsun Du saw that this person was so knowledgeable, and it happened that his subordinates were picking and picking, and there were few talents to obey orders, so he asked him to be the master of Xuansu. Anyway, he was familiar with the situation, and since it had fallen, he would appease him. Just listen to the greetings and pay taxes to yourself later.

So Xuansu was too steady, and he has been sitting in Xuansu until now. The Qingzhou army crossed the sea to fight Liaodong, and he also heard about it. But I didn't know it was so serious. According to the letter, since the Qingzhou army crossed the sea, it has won every battle and captured five cities in a row. You know, the entire Liaodong is only eleven cities. It didn't take long for him to occupy half of it, and now the army has hit Gongsun Du's brain. Looking at this situation, Gongsun Du is afraid that it will not last long.

As soon as Xuan Su made a judgment, his heart moved. He was originally an official of the imperial court, but he was persecuted by the traitor Gongsun Du. Now that Master Wang is here, he still has to behave immediately. The defeat of Gongsun Du is a sure thing, and he will not be clever anymore, and then write a stroke in the history books, saying that he is from Liaodong thief Gongsun Du, and sent troops to kill Liu Bei of Qingzhou...... Do you still have the face to see your ancestors?

At that moment, the officials were summoned to discuss the matter. He has been in Xuansu for many years, and there is no shortage of means and scheming, and one of his subordinates is counted as one, and they are all regarded as his henchmen and old men. So he didn't hide it, gave and told his plans to ask everyone if it was feasible?

What's not feasible about that? When the officials heard this, they jumped up. Everyone here is a veteran of officialdom, who wouldn't do something that hugs his thighs? The court didn't care about them before, and was forced by Gongsun Du, so he had to hug Gongsun Du's thigh. But after all, he is not Gongsun Du's confidant, and it is more difficult to live under Gongsun Du's hands than the imperial court.

Why? The emperor is far away, and people don't bother to care about you, a poor place with bad mountains and bad waters, and Liu Yu, the old man of Youzhou, rarely pays attention to Xuansu County, and at most pays attention to it when there is a conflict with the Goguryeo people. After all, in Youzhou, Xianbei and Wuhuan are the most serious threats.

Don't say that it is not easy to fish for oil and water in poor places, because there are not many people who pay attention to poor places, it is more convenient to fish for oil and water secretly than in some big cities. Not to mention anything else, the filial piety of those private merchants who come here every year to collect medicines, trade leather goods, and sell horses and tea is enough to make the governors of Xuansu City full. It's a pity that after recognizing Gongsun Du as the lord, this good life is gone forever. Because of Gongsun Du's regulations, Xuansu County must pay a sufficient amount of money and materials to Gongsun Du every year.

This provision made many officials at that time take action, why! Neither the imperial court nor the state shepherd had ever asked for this. It's a pity that Gongsun Du's fluttering words made them speechless: "Zhujun, a certain is also from Liaodong, he grew up in Xuansu when he was young, how can he not know the reason for all things in Liaodong?" A certain request is not excessive, if there are still those who do not follow, a certain will not hesitate to take the test knife! ”

Well, Gongsun Du began the "exploitation and oppression" of the officials of Xuansu County with the threat of force. Everyone has long been dissatisfied in their hearts, but now that they see that Taishou has a new plan, how can they not follow it. Besides, the court and Gongsun Du, which one to choose, do you still need to think about it? Gongsun Du was able to succeed before, but the court was silent. Now it's coming to the door, hehe, this time it's up to you how Gongsun Du dies.

So, the messenger from Liaoyang City first told him that Taishou suddenly fell seriously ill and could not see things, so he dragged on for several days, and Taishou told him after "a little improvement" that the Xuansu army could not move, otherwise the Goguryeo people were ready to move at the border, and who would be able to resist at that time? The messenger really wants to say that General Gongsun is going to be defeated, so let you Xuansu die. As a result, Xuanwu Taishou just refused to send troops. Eventually, the messenger saw that the old bastard was in the dark, and refused to send troops to drag him here for a long time.

Therefore, the messenger resolutely refused the warm hospitality and retention of Xuanwu Taishou, and scolded all the way back to Liaoyang.
