Chapter 734: The Liaodong Incident
Yuan Shao died, the general Yuan Shao really died, Cao Cao made a big fortune, so that the whole world mourned, and even Cao Cao personally collected the body for Yuan Shao, supported the coffin for Yuan Shao, and buried it with the etiquette of the princes and kings.
Yuan Shao was posthumously called the King of Bohai as Chengzhong, Yuan Shao's Mrs. Liu also followed him after Yuan Shao jumped off the city wall, Cao Cao buried the two together, and found a place in Bohai County, which was found by Yuan Shao before, in order to prepare for himself after a hundred years, and even Yuan Shao still wanted to move the capital to Bohai County after pacifying the world.
The relocation was not completed, but it was buried in the Bohai Sea.
Cao Cao personally went to the high platform, and evaluated Yuan Shao's life, when the two got along, Cao Cao was sometimes jubilant, sometimes grief-stricken, and the entire Hebei folk spontaneously wore filial piety for Yuan Shao, and the streets of the city were full of tears, as if they had lost their loved ones.
"Lord's Day mourning!" Xu Huang, Lejin and others on the side didn't understand why Cao Cao was so sad for Yuan Shao, only Cheng Yu knew that Cao Cao's grief was not only because of the grief for Yuan Shao, who was once small, but also because Cao Cao was buying people's hearts.
Yuan Shao was known for his virtue and politics when he was in Hebei, it was he who exempted Hebei from the Yellow Turban Rebellion, it was he who made Hebei rich in food and clothing, and the people practiced his good, and Yuan Shao also died in the hands of Cao Cao, and the people naturally hated Cao Cao, but Cao Cao came out like this, but Cao Cao won a lot of people's hearts, and buried the enemy with such a generous ceremony, it is enough to see Cao Cao's broad-mindedness, not only the hearts of the people, but also the hearts of those scholars. Many scholars began to defect to Cao Cao.
Fan Yang City is broken. Yuan Shao died. It can be said that the entire Hebei has been swept away by Cao Cao.
The princes of the world began to worry one by one, because once Cao Cao leveled Hebei, this behemoth finally pulled out of his body, revealing a tiger's eyes, and the bloody mouth seemed to be thinking about who to swallow.
Therefore, everyone was terrified, for fear of provoking Cao Cao to be the first to be calculated by Cao Cao.
Among them, the most worried person is not Liu Mang, the king of Shu in Yangzhou, but our prince Sun Du of Liaodong.
Gongsun Du has walked back and forth dozens of times in the main hall of the mansion, but the frowning brow on his face has not been let go. That's because of fear and worry.
The original Gongsun Du dared to do business with Liu Mang, the king of Shu in Yangzhou, because the emperor was far away. You Cao Cao is a bird, you have the right again, I am the emperor of Liaodong, you can't beat me if you want to, don't say that the terrain is handsome, just say that there are Yuan brothers in front of you, at least the Yuan brothers are not afraid of him in front. How can you say that this Yuan family brother can stop his grandson from hanging up.
But I didn't expect this Yuan family brother to be so uncompetitive, even Gongsun Du wanted to replace Yuan Shao to draw a few of his unfilial sons, this huge Hebei took two years of hard work to give it up, and then the loser lost a state in a year. That's four years, now it's okay. It's in half.
When the Yuan family brothers were finished, his grandson Du panicked.
"Father, father, let's ask for help like His Royal Highness the King of Shu in Yangzhou!" On the side, Gongsun Kang, the future heir of Liaodong, was also facing Gongsun Dujian.
"Let Liu Mang, the king of Shu, send troops to Liaodong" Gongsun Du's eyes lit up, this is a good idea, anyway, Cao Cao's current chief enemy is not his Gongsun Du, as long as His Royal Highness the King of Shu in Yangzhou sends troops to Liaodong to block Cao Cao.
However, Gongsun Du immediately shook his head, not to mention that the situation is urgent now, and Yuanshui can't save the near fire, just say let the Yangzhou army come to help him Liaodong resist Cao Cao, you Gongsun Du must give people the city to let people station, if this Yangzhou army is in Liaodong and doesn't leave, do this? Then his grandson will cry,
"Then father, let's take refuge in that Prime Minister Cao!" Gongsun Kang is worthy of having read books, Liu Mang, the king of Shu, is not good, let's change the family and take refuge in Cao Cao, you are afraid of Cao Cao, it is because you and Cao Cao are in a hostile relationship, if you take refuge in Cao Cao, it will be fine.
"No!" Gongsun Du also shook his head, if he could take refuge in Cao Cao, he would have done it a long time ago, it was okay before, Cao Cao even gave him the title of King of Liaodong in order to make Gongsun Du fight against the Yuan brothers together. But now it's different, Cao Cao defeated the Yuan brothers, and your Gongsun Du has no use value.
What's more, Cao Cao was blocked in Fanyang City by the Yuan brothers some time ago, and half of the credit for this is his grandson.
It was his Gongsun Du who became this second-way dealer who bought weapons and armor from Yangzhou and sold them to the Yuan brothers, it is precisely because of these armor and weapons that Cao Cao's army suffered heavy losses, it can be said that many people in Cao Cao's army over there are eager to swallow his Gongsun Du, if he takes refuge in Cao Cao, isn't this a bone sent to the door?
"Father, if we go directly to take refuge, it is very likely that as you said, father, we will be beaten aside by Prime Minister Cao Cheng, and even people will directly disagree with our refuge, but if we are sincere, it will be different!" Gongsun Kang said to his father, Gongsun Du.
"Sincerity?" Gongsun Du was stunned for a moment, "You said we give gifts?" Gongsun Du shook his head with a wry smile, so can Cao Cao's army still lack money?
"Father, why did Prime Minister Cao Cheng stop under Fanyang City?" Gongsun Kang asked Gongsun Du on the side.
"First, Fanyang City is high, second, this Yuan Xi is a talent, and third, I'm afraid it is those weapons and armor made in Yangzhou!" Gongsun Du has to say that Yangzhou's weapons are really easy to use, he Gongsun Du is completely disgusted when he looks at the original heavy armor, if it weren't for those Yangzhou armor weapons are too expensive, I'm afraid Gongsun Du would have let all his subordinates change to that thing.
"Those Yangzhou weapons, Prime Minister Cao Cheng must want it very much, father, what if we give those Yangzhou weapons and armor as gifts to Prime Minister Cao?" Gongsun Kang said to Gongsun Du with a smile.
"Give these Yangzhou weapons and armor to Cao Cao?" Gongsun Du thought about it for a while, it's not impossible, but Gongsun Du is still very painful in this way, you must know that those in his army are also bought back with money, so Yangzhou Liu Mang doesn't care if you sell it to the Yuan family brothers or buy it yourself, the price is so high.
"Are these enough?" Gongsun Du is still not at ease, he only has 3,000 sets of armor and 5,000 new swords in his army, can Cao Cao value these things? You must know that Cao Cao's command has an army of 300,000, and when Hebei is pacified, it will inevitably expand the army, and these three or four thousand armor and swords are simply drizzle.
"Father, although we have few armor and knives in our hands, there is one place where there are many!" Gongsun Kang said with a smile at Gongsun Du.
"You mean?" Gongsun Du looked at his son with wide eyes. (To be continued......)
