Guan Yu's words, Zhang Fei was naturally convinced, at this time, he smiled and said: "If the second brother has a way, I will say it, I will listen to the second brother!" ”

Xu Shu smiled, looked at Sima Yi, and asked, "Zhong Da has been an envoy to Liaodong before, I don't know if there is anyone who can be used in this Liaodong?" ”

Sima Yi shook his head, "I didn't stay in Liaodong for a long time, so I didn't know a lot about Liaodong, but although I didn't know it, there were always people who did, didn't they?" ”

Xu Shu immediately understood, and immediately asked Gongsun Gong, Yang Yi, Zhang Chang and others to come over.

Gongsun Gong was in front, Yang Yi and Zhang Chang followed behind, and when they saw Guan Yu and the others, they didn't mean to take them in their eyes at all, and said very calmly: "Do you have anything to say when you call this king?" ”

Zhang Fei couldn't help Gongsun Gong's unbelievable face, strode forward, slapped over, and Gongsun Gong, who had not yet reacted, was slapped away, and then fell to the ground, covering his face, looking at Zhang Fei very aggrieved.

"The third brother must not hurt his life!"

Guan Yu hurriedly shouted, if Gongsun Gong is killed, then this Liaodong will definitely not be as easy to attack as before.

"You are really disobedient! Do you still regard yourself as the lord of Liaodong? Hurry up and answer my second brother's and the military advisor's questions! ”

Gongsun Gong only knew at this time what he was called for, and he didn't dare to say that he was half dissatisfied when he was beaten - even his subordinates Yang Yi and Zhang Chang didn't dare to show a little dissatisfaction.

At this time, Xu Shu got up and walked over, looking at Gongsun Gong and the other three people: "Then the two brothers of Meng Tian and Meng Yi are not idle people, and the King of Wei now wants to take the two of them for his own use, I don't know what the three of them can do?" Or, is there anyone in this Xiangping City who can help? ”

Hearing that Xu Shu wanted to subdue the two Meng Tian brothers, his face changed, and he hurriedly shook his head and said: "Military advisor, the two brothers of Meng Tian and Meng Yi have an enmity with me that cannot be resolved, and we must not subdue them, otherwise how will I govern Liaodong in the future!" ”

Yang Yi couldn't help but sigh after hearing this, Zhang Fei's behavior just now had already said that Gongsun Gong had little use value at this time, not to mention Liaodong, it was difficult to say whether he could save his life in the future, but Gongsun Gong himself had not recognized his situation at all.

"Gongzi, please rest assured, if you don't govern Liaodong well, King Wei will naturally send someone to help you govern, and it will never make you feel a little embarrassed. Now I would like to ask you to tell the truth, is there any way to do it? ”

Xu Shu said very implicitly, but no one would think that Xu Shu was very peaceful, and his meaning was naturally the same as Zhang Fei: This Liaodong will not be your grandson's family in the future.

Gongsun Gong was silent for a while, but Yang Yi on the side seemed to think of something, and said: "I think of a person, who is Liu Yi under the command of Gongsun Kang now." Although this person has always been loyal to the Gongsun family, but he is also a wise person to protect himself, if the military advisor can write a letter, move it with affection, know it with reason, as long as he can promise him certain benefits, I believe that Liu Yi will agree to cooperate with us inside and outside. ”

After listening to Yang Yi's words, Xu Shu nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then act according to what Mr. Yang says!" ”

Xu Shu wrote a letter to Liu Yi in his own name, and after writing it, he asked Sima Yi to write a letter to Meng Tian, but the content of the letter was to discuss when to dedicate the city and when to cooperate with the outside, and at the same time erased the key words in the letter. When Liu Yi received two letters at the same time, he first opened the content of the letter written to himself, and he understood it at once; And the other one, he couldn't help but open it and read it, and after reading it, he immediately understood, and he also knew what Xu Shu wanted him to do.

After a night of careful consideration, he finally made a decision, and the next day, he quietly came to the Meng Mansion with the letter written by Sima Yi to Meng Tian to visit Meng Tian.

However, Meng Tian was not at home at this time, only Meng Yi was at home, and when he heard that Liu Yi was coming to visit, he didn't think much about it, so he asked Liu Yi to come in.

"Mr. Liu is here to find my eldest brother today, right? The eldest brother has just gone to patrol the city, and it should take a while to come back. ”

Liu Yi smiled, nodded and said: "It's not a big deal for me to come, it's just that a few days ago, I borrowed the city defense map of Xiangping from General Yongchang, and he asked me to come today, I didn't expect it to be so unfortunate, or I would have waited here for a while, right?" ”

Meng Yi thought for a while, and felt that it was not appropriate for Liu Yi to wait here, so he hesitated for a moment and said, "If Mr. Liu wants to see it, then you might as well take a look at it in the study of the eldest brother!" But you must not take it away, otherwise if it leaks out, then it will be difficult to say. ”

Liu Yi nodded, and naturally readily agreed. When Liu Yi came to my Meng Tian's study, after looking at the city defense map for a while, he deliberately knocked over the candlestick, and when Meng Yi went to pick it up, he secretly stuffed Sima Yi's letter into a pile of books on the desk.

After Liu Yi left, he quietly passed on some of the city defense arrangements he remembered and told Guan Yu. Guan Yu launched an attack the next day - knowing the layout of the city defense, this time the siege was very smooth, and Xiangping was almost captured.

Originally, Gongsun Kang thought that he could hold it for at least a month, but after only a few days, the city was almost broken, and Gongsun Kang was very angry, so he immediately summoned Meng Tian and asked why this situation occurred.

"The Wei army seems to know the reality of our army and the layout of the city defense, so this attack is targeted, and the last general suspects that there are enemy spies in this city."

Meng Tian's explanation made Gongsun Kang not know whether to believe it or not, but at this time, Liu Yi suddenly sneered and said: "The defense of Xiangping City has always been presided over by two General Meng, and this city defense map is also in the hands of General Meng. ”

Meng Tian was a little speechless for a while, he didn't know why Liu Yi suddenly framed himself like this, but Liu Yi's words made Gongsun Kangleng pause, but then he also understood, and waved his hand again and again: "Liu Gong, General Meng won't, his two brothers have been following this king since the beginning, and General Meng used to be this king's teacher, no matter what, he will not betray this king." ”

However, at this time, I saw Liu Yi suddenly kneel down and say righteously: "The king can't be so gullible to trust Meng Khotan!" The king must know that this is not what it used to be! At the beginning, Liaodong soldiers were strong and strong, and no outsiders dared to offend my Liaodong; But now, seeing that the Wei army is about to break through Xiangping, Liaodong is already in danger. The so-called person who knows the times is Junjie, if the enemy secretly colludes, maybe General Meng will also choose a side that is beneficial to him. Now that the enemy is present, his subordinates ask the king to focus on the overall situation, or send someone to search the Meng Mansion! ”

Gongsun Kang hesitated a little, but at this time, Meng Tian didn't know what the plan was, but in order to prove his innocence, he begged: "Please send someone to search!" Meng Khotan is sitting up straight, not afraid of others searching! When the time comes, it will be regarded as returning my innocence, please allow the king! ”

Gongsun Kang nodded a little embarrassed, and said in a comforting tone: "General Meng, in order to prove your innocence, then the king will personally take someone to your mansion to search, which can be regarded as returning your innocence!" ”

Gongsun Kang took Liu Yi and the palace guards to Meng Tian's mansion and began to search, but when he searched the study, someone came to Gongsun Kang with a letter.

"Back to the king, his subordinates found a suspicious letter, and asked the king to take a look!"

As soon as these words came out, Gongsun Kang couldn't help but glance at Meng Tian, Meng Tian was puzzled at this time, but he still said very confidently: "Please take a look!" ”

Gongsun Kang opened it slowly, but after looking at it a few times, he couldn't help but roar angrily: "Meng Tian! How dare you betray this king! ”

Meng Tian didn't know what was going on, so he was willing to admit it, but he kept shaking his head and said, "Your Majesty, please Mingjian, the last general will have no two hearts!" ”

Gongsun Kang threw the secret letter at Meng Tian and roared angrily, "See for yourself! Although you have already erased important parts, this letter, except for you, cannot be addressed to anyone else, don't you admit it? Don't think that if you erase it, you'll be able to get rid of the relationship! ”

Meng Tian naturally couldn't admit it, so he quickly knelt down and said bitterly: "Your Majesty, this must be a counter-plot used by the enemy, please let the king know it!" ”

Gongsun Kang hadn't spoken yet, and Liu Yi on the side seemed to be even angrier than Gongsun Kang, pointing at Meng Tian and saying, "Anti-plot? How did the enemy know about the layout of the city defenses? You won't say that I sneaked into your house and told Guan Yu after reading the layout of the city defense, right? ”

At this moment, I saw Meng Yi coming from outside, and shouted: "That's right, it's you, Liu Yi, didn't you just come to my eldest brother's study yesterday to see?" I said what are you doing here, it turns out that you are trying to frame my eldest brother! ”

After speaking, the indignant Meng Yi strode over, grabbed Liu Yi and was about to fight.

"Meng Yi! Presumptuous, are you going to rebel? At this time, Gongsun Kang's guards immediately blocked Meng Yi aside, but Gongsun Kang was even more convinced at this time that it was the Montessori brothers who did something sorry for him.

"Since you can't prove your innocence if you go first, then the king can't hand over the defense of Xiangping to you! Someone, take down Meng Yi and Meng Yi for me and lock him up. After the trial is clear, the punishment will be decided. ”

After Gongsun Kang finished speaking, Meng Tian let out a long sigh and said, "Your Majesty! If my brothers are imprisoned, who can this Xiangping rely on? The king's move is to destroy his own Great Wall! This sentence did not make Gongsun Kang change his mind, but it was like adding fuel to the fire, and he roared: "This king doesn't believe that without you, this king won't be able to keep this Xiangping!" Come on, put Meng Khotan and Meng Yi on death row for me, and no one is allowed to visit me! ”

Hearing this, Liu Yi was secretly happy in his heart: In this way, the task assigned by Xu Shu was completed, so after Liu Bei captured Liaodong, Liu Yi would be able to go to Yecheng to take up a post, which would have countless benefits for him and his Liu family. At this time, Liu Yi raised his head and glanced at Gongsun Kang, who was quite hesitant, in order to prevent him from repenting, Liu Yi hurriedly stepped forward and asked: "Don't worry, although your subordinates are a literati, they have been familiar with military books since childhood, and their subordinates will definitely be able to take on the great task of defending the city, please rest assured!" ”

Gongsun Kang didn't believe in Liu Yi's ability very much, but Liu Yi was originally an old minister, and now he had no one to use, so he chose to believe in Liu Yi.

But that night, the Wei army directly attacked Xiangping under the command of Guan Zhang, and Gongsun Kang was captured by Zhang Fei before he could react. It wasn't until he saw that Liu Yi was talking and laughing with Xu Shu at this time that he knew why he was where he is today.

"This king really regrets it, I regret that I shouldn't have listened to General Meng's words!"

However, at this time, it was useless for him to say anything, and when Gongsun Gong came to him, Gongsun Kang scolded hatefully: "You traitor, I won't let you go even if I die!" ”

Gongsun Gong couldn't laugh at all at this time, although his current situation was better than that of a subordinate prisoner like Gongsun Kang, but if he smiled, he would be found by Gongsun Kang that he had lost a few teeth - that was what Zhang Fei slapped out before.

When Guan Yu settled all the big and small affairs in the city, he sent someone to bring Meng Tian and Meng Yi brothers out of death row, Meng Tian saw Guan Yu, and there was a trace of surprise in his eyes, but there was not much fluctuation.

"The two generals Meng have suffered!" Meng Yi was not as calm as Meng Tian at this time, looking at Guan Yu's appearance, he couldn't help but roar loudly: "If it weren't for the words of the King of Liaodong who believed the traitorous ministers, how could you have attacked it!" As long as my two brothers are here, Liaodong will definitely be safe and sound! ”

At this time, Xu Shu walked over and said with a smile: "Two generals, that Gongsun Kang is suspicious of employing people, and almost ruined the lives of the two generals, how can he be worthy of the two generals to die for him?" Now that King Wei is Rende, and he is a descendant of the Han family, he is quite knowledgeable, why don't the two generals abandon the secret and turn to the light? ”

Hearing this, Meng Yi immediately turned his head disdainfully, but Meng Tian said very calmly: "If my brothers and sisters surrender, then you will hand over Liu Yi to me, and if you don't kill him, it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart!" ”

This condition obviously stumped Xu Shu - Liu Yi is a great hero in breaking Liaodong, if he is killed like this, it will inevitably endanger everyone in Liaodong, which is obviously not conducive to the rule of Liaodong in the future.

"General Meng's condition is obviously a little inappropriate. If you say hate, the general should hate Gongsun Kang, the so-called lord faints and humiliates the ministers, if Gongsun Kang understands a little, he will not end up like this. If General Meng really wants to relieve his hatred, then it is better to hand over Gongsun Kang to you for disposal, how about it? "0 Meng Tian also knew that the condition he proposed was indeed a little difficult to agree, but if he wanted him to dispose of Gongsun Kang, he would never be willing." Can I see my old master? ”
