Recently, Gongsun Du has had a very hard time!

He is not like the Yuan family of the second Yuan and the fourth and third princes as the backer, nor is he like Dong Zhuo who has the opportunity to defy the sky, and he is not as strong as Sun Jian.

With the increasingly rampant "cross-border suppression of bandits" by the Pingzhou army, the dark tide in Lelang County surged, and many officials disobeyed Gongsun Du's orders, especially after Gongsun Du organized an underground confrontation and returned from a fiasco, his prestige was once again fatally hit.

Many localities have openly raised the slogan of welcoming the Pingzhou herdsmen and the government.

It can be said that Gongsun Du's rule over Le Lang has reached a precarious point. And when it was overthrown, it did not depend on Gongsun Du's insistence, but on when Shang Ji made up his mind to send troops.

He is powerless to fight against Pingzhou, and he still has this self-aware Gongsun Du!

However, it is clear that the determination to surrender is not so easy to make!

It is better to be a chicken head than a phoenix tail, this is the opinion of many people. In addition, according to Yiren, he would dominate Liaodong, and in the end, the Gongsun family even established the Yan Kingdom in Liaodong.

Anyone has a fluke mentality, and Gongsun Du is no exception, he wants to delay for a while and wait to see if things will turn around.

This time Shang Ji got married, of course, he also sent an invitation to Gongsun Du, but Gongsun Du was sick and sent his subordinates to congratulate. And he disguised himself and secretly came to Xiangping as a civilian, intending to take the opportunity to get to know Pingzhou and prepare for a more protracted confrontation.

What Gongsun Du didn't expect was that Shangji's wedding actually triggered a series of auspicious fortunes, and finally even a vision of the heavenly general, blessing the entire Xiangping City.

This became the last straw that crushed Gongsun Du's psychological defense, and after several entanglements, Gongsun Du chose to surrender!

"Gongsun Taishou has recovered physically, this is really gratifying!"

After identifying the identity, the guards immediately went to report to the merchant. Although it was a little unexpected that Gongsun Du was in Xiangping City, Shang Ji still ordered him to come over.

"To make the king forgive his sins, to live in old age and deaf, and to be virtuous and despicable, is not enough to shoulder the heavy responsibility of shepherding one side. For the sake of the people of Lelang, please also ask the envoy to choose another talent and serve as the Taishou of Lelang! ”

Gongsun Du didn't make a sound, and as soon as he spoke, he was stunned by a lot of people!

"How daring!"

In the crowd, Zhang Xiu suddenly burst into a shout and glared at Gongsun Du: "The official position is personally granted by the imperial court, how can you allow Er'er and others to accept it privately."

Broadly speaking, Gongsun Du is Dong Zhuo's person, and now in front of the princes of the world, he has made it clear that he surrendered to Shangji, which makes Dong Zhuo's face where to put it

"Presumptuous, how can you be allowed to shout in Xiangping City!"

Tai Shici stepped forward and stared at Zhang Xiu with murderous awe, and Huang Zhong, Dian Wei, Guo Biao and other Xiangping generals also stared at Zhang Xiu with unkind faces.

"Stand down!"

Shang Ji snorted lightly, glanced at Zhang Xiu, looked at Jia Xu again, and said in a sullen voice: "This is how Mr. Wenhe controls his subordinates."

"You ......"

"Okay, General Youwei, we are guests, how can we apologize to General Shang for being rude to our host!" Jia Xu smiled and said with the same expression.

Obviously, Jia Xu has a very high prestige in Zhang Xiu's heart, although he is not angry with Shang Ji's contempt, but he still holds back his anger and bows down to apologize to Shang Ji!

Taking two steps forward, Shang Ji helped Gongsun Du up, flicked the dust on his clothes, and said gently: "Shengji (Gongsun Duzi) is serious, and the talent of Shengji is still understood, and he has always been eager to meet Shengji." It's just that Shengji has been sick before and has not been able to get what he wants, which is a pity. Now that Shengji has recovered, since he should show his strength and open up the happy waves, how to easily say that the happy waves still need to rely on the promotion of the waves, and the words of the Shi should not be said more! ”

Gongsun Du took the initiative to come and surrender in front of the princes of the world, which really made Shang Ji very happy, and at the same time greatly increased Shang Ji's prestige. However, it was impossible for Shang Ji to directly reappoint a county guard at the request of Gongsun Du!

As Zhang Ji said just now, the official position of the county guard is not trivial. If Shang Ji dares to appoint and dismiss himself, he will tear his face with Dong Zhuo, and at the same time, he will become the one who breaks the unspoken rules, and is hostile to the princes of the world!

Before Shang Ji rectified Xuansu, Liaoxi and other counties, he only reduced the power of some county guards, and did not change people!

In addition, I don't know if it's a coincidence or intention, the timing of Gongsun Du's choice is too coincidental.

In the past, nearly 10 million Xianbei collectively returned to righteousness, and then Gongsun Du surrendered, which made Shang Ji a little lacking in skills. Shang Ji had to put Lelang County down first and concentrate on dealing with the Xianbei problem.

In the end, as the first and at the same time the leader of the power who surrendered in front of the princes of the world, it was impossible for Shang Ji to be too harsh on Gongsun Du, and even for the effect of buying horse bones for a thousand gold, he had to wait for Gongsun Du!

Hearing what Shang Ji said, Gongsun Du's hanging heart was also put down, although he made up his mind to return, but he didn't plan to go to work and retreat like this!

Gongsun Du was just forty years old, and he was in the prime of life, even if he surrendered to Shangji, he planned to do a great career under Shangji. If Shang Ji really took advantage of the situation to remove him from his official position and drive him home to retire, then he would be dumbfounded.

"Let the king have a life, and dare not disobey!" Gongsun Du took advantage of the situation to get off the donkey, paused and said: "Qiyu envoy, adjacent to Goguryeo, Buyeo, Han Hao, there are many unpredictable people in the county, old and frail, unbearable to conquer, please also make the king send a good general, lead the elite soldiers, stationed in Lelang to deter Xiaoxiao!" ”

Gongsun Du is very courageous, surrender is surrender, do not engage in any half-hearted tricks of riding the wall to watch the play, so as not to get bored with Merchants Ji, and directly ask Shang Ji to send troops to Lelang.

Without waiting for Shang Ji to speak, Gongsun Du said again: "Du has a son, whose name is Kang, who admires the prestige of the king, and is willing to hold a knife and a minion under the command of the envoy to protect the general!" ”

Shang Ji glanced at Gongsun Du in surprise, he didn't expect this person to be so bold, and asked Shang Ji to garrison Lelang to forget it, and even sent Gongsun Kang as a proton.

"Ling Lang's prestige has long been heard, wouldn't it be useless to be a guard, the eastern Xianbei is righteous, and there is a shortage of manpower ahead, so let Ling Lang go to General Zhao Yun to be a captain and experience it! As for sending troops to assist in the promotion of Ji and deterring Xiaoxiao, we will discuss it later!"

Shang Ji's words are not polite, this Gongsun Kang can really barely be called a hero. After the death of Gongsun Du in history, Gongsun Kang succeeded to the position of Liaodong Taishou, and with the accumulation of Gongsun Du and his own hard work, Liaodong was built into a happy land.

At the same time, he also led an expedition to break Goguryeo, trap its national capital, and crusade against Han Hao, and restore the Obifang County set up during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty. Such a person can barely be called a male lord of the previous generation, at least stronger than most of the so-called princes of the Eighteen Roads!

As for the garrison in Lelang, this is a must, not only that, but when Shang Ji frees up his hands, he will have to carry out a comprehensive reform and rectification of Lelang. The situation in Lelang County is very complicated, and the relationship between different races and heroes is complicated, and it will not be able to figure it out in a while. This is also one of the reasons why Shang Ji allowed Gongsun Du to temporarily continue to serve as the county guard of Lelang.

However, for a while, Shang Ji really couldn't find a suitable leader, so he could only wait to discuss with his subordinates.

Gongsun Du was very happy to hear this, being a guard for Shang Ji and being a captain under Zhao Yun are both protons in theory, but the meaning is completely different. The latter shows that the Shang Ji does not intend to treat the Gongsun family specially, and they can make contributions to the Shang Ji army by virtue of their ability.

Although the former is sure that its status will be more respectful, the upper limit has been set to death, and it is almost impossible to hold real power again! This is completely unacceptable to the ambitious Gongsun family.

Shang Ji took Gongsun Du's hand and walked into the banquet hall in the bitter eyes of the princes of the world!

After tossing for so long, it's finally time for the feast!

In the face of the fragrant pearl rice and the dazzling array of delicacies, many princes are like chewing wax, and their minds are obviously not on the food.

It can be expected that the grand occasion of Shang Ji's marriage will definitely spread all over the world in a very short period of time, and Shang Ji's personal reputation will also rise, and even overshadow Dong Zhuo, the number one powerful minister in the sky, in one fell swoop!

This is not good news for the princes of the world, and Ding Yuan's representative Zhang Yang's face is almost black! Ding Yuan and Shang Ji had a small gap before, and just now he was the first to speak sarcastically about Shang Ji. Now that Gongsun Du is attached, Xianbei is righteous, the rear of Pingzhou is completely stable, and the next expansion object of Shang Ji is Youzhou. Youzhou Thorn Shi Ding Yuan bore the brunt of the attack and faced the edge of the Pingzhou army!

To be honest, Zhang Yang really didn't have the confidence to resist the attack of the Pingzhou Army. He has a good relationship with Lu Bu, and he clearly knows the combat power of Lu Bu and the wolf riders under his command. As far as Zhang Yang knows, Lu Bu admires Shang Ji very much and publicly praises him on different occasions.

The other princes were not in a good mood there, especially Yuan Shao, Kong Rong, Gongsun Zan and other forces that were relatively close to Shangji. However, Yuan Shu, Sun Jian and other southern princes who were far away didn't feel anything, and praised the delicious taste of this pearl rice.

Gongsun Du, as the leader of the newly attached forces, of course had to be entertained beyond the standard. He was arranged to be Shang Ji's start, and on the opposite side were Rong Luoluo and Jia Xu!

Rong Luoluo was the most fragrant among the people present, and he was eating the prepared food with a big gulp, which even had a little impact on Jia Xu next to him, and his appetite was unconsciously much better.

Shang Ji's gaze slid over the generals in Pingzhou, and finally stopped at Liu Yi. whispered twice in Liu's ear next to him, Liu's eyes showed a look of surprise, looked at Gongsun Du, then at Liu Yi, and finally nodded slowly.

"Ahem, Shengji!"

"The subordinates are here!" Gongsun Du had just been attached, how could he have the heart to dine Ah his mind was all focused on Shang Ji, and when he heard Shang Ji's call, he immediately got up and replied.

"Sit down, sit down, Shengji sit down and say!" Shang Ji waved his hand and motioned for Gongsun Du to sit down.

"Jisheng can know my brother-in-law" Shang Ji quietly pointed at Liu Yi and asked Gongsun Du.

"General Liu's prestige shocked the world, who doesn't know who doesn't know"

Gongsun Du is obviously a sycophant, although Liu Yi is undoubtedly the second person in the Pingzhou army, but in terms of popularity in the outside world, he is far inferior to Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong and others, let alone shocking the world!

However, Shang Ji didn't care, and said with a slight smile: "I plan to send my righteous brother to lead the troops to Lelang to assist Shengji to deter Lelang Xiaoxiao, what does Shengji think?"

"Excellent, excellent, with General Liu here, Lelang should be as stable as Mount Tai!" Gongsun Du didn't even hesitate, and immediately replied respectfully.

Shang Ji nodded, and asked again: "Shengji, what do you think of my righteous brother?"

Gongsun Du was stunned for a moment, glanced at Liu Yi, who was sitting in danger and didn't know about it, and organized the following language: "General Liu is majestic and heroic, Wen Taowu is a hero!" ”

"Yu Wenshengji also has a daughter, who is as beautiful as a flower, virtuous and virtuous, and is still waiting for the word boudoir, how about promising to give me this righteous brother?"

"Ahh

Gongsun Du was stunned for a moment, and then he was ecstatic, blushing and nodding wildly!
