Chapter 50: The Gongsun of Liaodong

If it is according to historical facts, Guan Yu's life was bumpy and displaced, although Wenjiu beheaded Huaxiong, Sanying fought against Lu Bu, beheaded Yan Liangwen and ugly, and became famous all over the world, but it was not until more than 20 years later that he followed Liu Bei to have a well-placed foundation.

And his family naturally can't follow him to make contributions, Zhang Fei and others are the same, but at this time, it is not the case, Yan Guo guards the northern border, the northern expedition to Donghu, and the south rejects the Yellow Turban, but it is a rare piece of paradise.

The military generals of the Yan Kingdom have gradually brought their families to live, and it is to attract those great talents to live here, at the beginning of the troubled times, what an honor it is to have a piece of paradise, invited by Zhao Yun, his teacher Tong Yuan is now also in the Yan Kingdom, and there are not many ministers, just teaching.

……

"Strategist, Gongsun Du asks to see you."

"Biography."

Chen Xi was discussing important matters with Guo Jia and others, and then they got the news that passed through, several people looked at each other and smiled, Xu Rong took people to leave first, he and Gongsun Du are friends, and at this time they want to avoid suspicion, of course, they also leave face for Gongsun Du.

"Zichuan is right, these people really don't have to worry, and they defected one after another before the big thing was accomplished."

Guo Jia sighed at this time, and he had a new understanding of the conduct of these scholars.

According to the intelligence, the Liaodong Gongsun clan also participated in this rebellion, and unlike Gongsun Zhan, Gongsun Du was the representative of the Liaodong Gongsun clan, and the head of the family was descended.

This is the same as the Yuan family of the fourth and third princes, the descendant of the Yuan family should be the same line as Yuan Shu, but Yuan Shao was able to stand out, and later won Jizhou, which was far above Yuan Shu.

Gongsun Chan is the same, after taking Youzhou, the Gongsun clan is his, and when he is defeated, the Gongsun clan is still in the line of Gongsun Du.

"I have admired the names of Chen Junshi and Guo Changshi for a long time, and I am really ashamed to see my dignity until now." Gongsun Du saluted Chen Xi and Guo Jia extremely respectfully at this time, without the embarrassment of being old and Chen Xi being young.

Of course, the rest of the officials who are leaving, Gongsun Du is only a little polite, and he doesn't say much, no matter how humble he is, it depends on the person.

Although Chen Xi and Guo Jia were born in a poor family, they have now become two thousand stone officials in a short period of time, and their own skills are praised by Yan Guo, and the two states are famous, so it is naturally worth his bow.

"We also have great admiration for General Gongsun, the Gongsun clan guards Liaodong, and the merit is in Sheji, but unfortunately there are villains now, and Mr. Shengji knows the general situation and can take care of the overall situation, which is very good."

Chen Xi said with a calm face, and after Gongsun Du sat down, he said something, but it was difficult for anyone to tell what he was thinking from his face.

Chen Xi's words made Gongsun Du more respectful, no matter whether Chen Xi's words were not blamed in the past or were suspected of beating, he didn't dare to show the slightest impatience now, on the contrary, he had to work harder.

He himself was also a 2,000-stone official for a long time, and moved to Xuansu County with his father, at the beginning of Xuanfu County, and in the second year of Jianning, he was promoted to Shangshulang and Jizhou Assassin History, and was dismissed from office.

Now he has been operating in Liaodong for a long time, and he is ready to seek the position of Liaodong Taishou, although Liaodong County is already mostly from the Gongsun family, but there is no one in the court, and he is not allowed to be promoted.

I didn't want to mix, but a few days ago, millions of refugees were going to be deployed in Youzhou and establish the dock fort system of the Eldest Princess's Mansion, and Gongsun Du couldn't escape.

Especially when I heard that Gongsun Zhan led the Han army to defeat Donghu several times on the grassland, the momentum was huge, and it was almost possible to replace him.

If Gongsun Chan has the support of the eldest princess and threatens to conquer the power of Donghu, I am afraid that there will be no fewer people in the Gongsun clan who will fall to him.

"Liaodong is located in a remote area, relying on the convenience of sea routes and trade with the Central Plains to ensure the health of a place, now with the support of the eldest princess, it has only seen a slight improvement, there are short-sighted people who regard us and other remote people of Han as a threat, and want to cause no peace in Liaodong again, and the rule is chaotic, and the Gongsun clan is willing to follow His Royal Highness to set things right."

Gongsun Du explained, first praised Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, and then told the righteousness, saying that he was not betraying his class, but for the righteousness.

"The Gongsun clan is indeed meritorious, and Guo Jia, the name of Mr. Shengji, has heard of it in the Central Plains." At this time, Guo Jia took over and nodded, and did not do anything to argue, what the nature of the Gongsun clan was was not up to them.

"The meager name is fortunate to be known by Guo Changshi." Gongsun Du said unhurriedly at this time, "This time the contemptible people came, one is to congratulate the eldest princess on sweeping Donghu, and the other is to hope to get the support of His Royal Highness, after all, Liaodong is bitter cold, without support, it is difficult for the Han people to survive for a long time, if the business route is unblocked, it can survive one or two." ”

Chen Xi glanced at Gongsun Du at this time, what the other party said was indeed quite good, should it be said that it is worthy of a character?

Millions of yellow scarves are basically prepared to be arranged in various counties in Youzhou, how can Liaodong County arrange 100,000 people, at this time, there are only how many people in Liaodong County, and there are two or three hundred thousand at most, if there are 100,000 people stationed, it is impossible for Gongsun to cover the sky with one hand in Liaodong County.

Gongsun Du said what Liaodong bitter cold words, but I don't know what Liaodong means, Liaoyang County, Liaodong County, has the largest iron ore in China, from now to two thousand years later, iron ore is the most important resource.

Just iron ore and the various industries derived from it, let alone 100,000 people, can be supported by millions of people.

Of course, at this time, it cannot be developed to this extent, but all parts of Liaodong, there is still a lot to do, although the bitter cold, the products are also abundant, and resources such as forests and minerals are very important.

"It's not impossible." Chen Xi said flatly, but the tone and look without the slightest fluctuation made Gongsun Du's heart feel bottomless.

"In this way, the contemptible people have thanked His Highness on behalf of the people of Liaodong here." Gongsun Du immediately bowed at this time and finalized this fact.

"It's just a transaction, it's a good thing, why refuse, it's just that I'm curious, if there are bandits, will our exchanges be cut off?" Chen Xi stood up at this time, and looked at Gongsun Du, who already had a ghost in his heart, with calm and waveless eyes, extremely cold.

"No, this kind of thing will definitely not happen, the Gongsun clan will send good generals to sweep away the outlaws, and will also open up sea passages for transportation." Gongsun Du hurriedly replied.

Gongsun Du would not have thought that the piece of land under his feet would be so important, it was a huge benefit that was enough for a country to fight to the death, and now he wanted the eldest princess to put it down in a few words, how could it be?

After setting the tone a little, Chen Xi stopped talking, and Guo Jia took it at this time.

"We don't want to pursue the past, but the Gongsun clan has to show your sincerity." Guo Jia looked at Gongsun Du at this time, although he was young, the weight of his words was very heavy.

"Even if it is a barren land, but the place where the enemy is located is worthy of the Han to conquer, so may I ask, does the Gongsun clan want to stand on the opposite side of us or still serve as a Han minister, guarding the side of the Han family?"

Whether the eldest princess can represent the Han family, Gongsun Du doesn't know, he thinks it should be okay, and at this time, under the righteousness, he really doesn't know what to say.

Of course, to be honest, now Yang Yi has no intention of preparing to start a war against the Gongsun clan, not because he has no spare strength, but because construction is more important than starting a war, millions of refugees, this is enough to crush the number of a state, even if the caravan under the command of the eldest princess is now trafficking all over the world, but it is reluctant to do a good job, so it is just to scare and scare Gongsun Du now, but who knows that this is a lie?

"Please Your Highness give us a chance, the Gongsun clan is a Hanchen Hanmin, and it will definitely not change." Gongsun Du was also shocked when he heard this, but after returning to his senses, he immediately suppressed his panicked look and replied.

"Although I am not satisfied with your answer, it doesn't matter, show your sincerity, since General Gongsun said that there are no thieves on the road before, then let me see and understand, some things can't just be said!" Guo Jia glanced at Gongsun Du coldly, as for whether it was a scare or real, Gongsun Du couldn't guess at this time.

Gongsun Du looked at Guo Jia's face and hesitated, the situation has become to this level, and he doesn't know how to deal with it, Guo Jia's request is not too much, but the so-called thief-free what level does it want.

Chen Xi didn't interject, he had already seen that Gongsun Du had probably begun to think at this time, it seemed that their request now had not touched the bottom line of the Gongsun clan.

"Dare to ask Guo Changshi, how far does the Gongsun clan need to go." Gongsun Du didn't think for too long at this time before he spoke, and he also understood that some things could not be delayed, and if they were delayed for a long time, there would be problems.

"It's up to you to be sincere." Guo Jia raised his eyelids and said, did not say the actual standard, Gongsun Du this person not only knows how to govern, but also understands military strategy, you must know that after he got the position of Liaodong Taishou, but after the east expedition to Goguryeo, the west attacked Wuhuan, the south took the Liaodong Peninsula, crossed the sea to take the northern part of the Jiaodong Peninsula Donglai County, and expanded the territory; It also recruits talents, sets up a museum to open a school, recruits displaced people, and prestige overseas.

Such a talent also shows the heritage of the Gongsun family, but Gongsun Du is still unknown to what extent he can do it at this time.

"Guo Changshi, can't you talk about it again?" Gongsun Du finished thinking and asked, according to Guo Jia's request, there are no thieves along the way, what is this thief, Gongsun Du knows very well, if he does this, then it means that the alliance with the Shi clan has completely broken.

"You think I want too little?" Guo Jia did not budge at this time, glanced at Gongsun Du and said, "If it weren't for the fact that Liaodong is indeed a wilderness, there is no benefit, it is a burden for His Highness, and we will not put forward such a demand, Your Highness needs the sincerity of your Gongsun clan, what this sincerity is, you also understand." ”

"To be honest, if your Gongsun clan is richer or stronger, we also have the meaning of doing it."

When Gongsun Du heard this, his face was expressionless, but he was really helpless in his heart, this is not a lie, Gongsun's reputation is not obvious, not as good as Zhongshan Zhen's, how powerful the Zhen family was at that time, all the families in the four northern states were friendly with the Zhen family, and even the Donghu people could be transferred by the Zhen family.

But what is the final outcome, it's just a soldier and horse, the Zhen family is gone, and how strong is the Gongsun family than the Zhen family?

So what if Guan Yunchang took the essence to ride to the Gongsun clan? Can the Gongsun clan have anyone to resist?

Different from those people in the Shi Alliance, Gongsun Du is very clear about the ability of Guan Yunchang and others, taking the head of the enemy general in the ten thousand armies, what kind of force is this, one person can defeat ten thousand armies.

Can the Gongsun clan gather 10,000 soldiers and horses? Reluctantly, but in the eldest princess's mansion, Guan Yunchang is not the only one, Gongsun Du and Xu Rong are friends, and he thinks that his strategy is also similar to Xu Rong, but according to Xu Rong, he is in the Yan Kingdom, and he can't enter the top five.

"Thanks to His Highness's favor, the Gongsun clan should also show sincerity, and the Gongsun clan is willing to sweep away the lawbreakers in Youzhou for His Highness." Gongsun Du estimated it in his heart and then said slowly.

"It's really sincere, but how far can the Gongsun clan go?" Guo Jia didn't care, Gongsun Du must be soft, after all, he wants to take over the position of Liaodong Taishou justifiably, which must be expressed.

"The Gongsun clan is weak and weak, and recruiting rebels can maintain the peace of a county for His Highness." Gongsun Du said with a sincere face at this time, to what extent Gongsun can go, Gongsun Du will naturally not fully show it, but if there is no blood, it is impossible.

"The stability of the entire Youzhou that Your Highness needs." Guo Jia looked at Gongsun Du calmly at this time and said.

"The Gongsun clan can't do it, Guo Changshi can only say that it is difficult for a strong man to ask for such a request." Gongsun Du resolutely shook his head at this time, in his opinion, this was just a sky-high asking price, and there was no anger, and his tone was still as soothing as before.

Gongsun can do it, and he doesn't dare to do it, otherwise, the next step is to cut off the wings of Gongsun, the birds are good and the bow is hidden, and the cunning rabbit is dead and the lackeys are cooked, this truth Gongsun Du naturally understands.

"Hehe, as far as I know, the strength of the Gongsun clan to recruit more than 10,000 soldiers, it is still barely possible, these more than 10,000 brave people to maintain the peace of the entire Youzhou is impossible at other times, but it is enough now." At this time, Guo Jia ordered someone to take the map and spread it on Gongsun Du's cases, Gongsun Du looked at the marks on the map at this time, but he was slightly stunned.

Gongsun Du was taken aback the first time he saw the map, he didn't expect that the power of the eldest princess would expand to such an extent now!

He had heard of the dock fort system, but it was built so quickly, and the entire northern Hebei looked at the marked dock fort, and he knew that this place was already impregnable, and Jixian County, where the Shi Alliance gathered, was surrounded on all sides at this time, with Gu County in the north, Yuyang County in the east, Guangyang County in the south, and Yan Kingdom in the west.

And this was done quietly, a map of the military arrangement, on which the number of men of a certain corps was stationed in a certain place.

The entire small half of Jizhou is in the hands of the eldest princess, originally thought that the Yellow Turban had captured Yecheng and had a huge momentum in Jizhou, but I didn't expect the eldest princess's power to expand to such an extent, while competing with the Yellow Turban, and even the Northern Expedition to Donghu.

"Your Highness can be described as the overlord of the world." At this time, the corners of Gongsun Du's mouth were a little bitter, in a short period of time, the strength of the eldest princess was already so powerful.

Now as long as the Shi Alliance is dissolved, then Youzhou is in control, and the four northern states have mastered the second, what else does this eldest princess want to do?

Gongsun Du didn't dare to think about it, and he didn't dare to lose his words, but at this time, he knew that he was in a dilemma.

"Therefore, please also ask the Gongsun clan to show sincerity, His Royal Highness will not mind the expedition to Liaodong, the fall of Xianbei Wuhuan has become a foregone conclusion, and when the army returns with a great victory, at that time, what the outcome is, the Gongsun clan must also be clear." Guo Jia stared at Gongsun Du at this time and said.

How many people did Gongsun Zan lead to, it is said that there are more than 10,000, and it is also said that 50,000, Gongsun Du guessed that it should be about 30,000, although there are one Han and five Hu, but it is easy to defeat the 100,000 Wuhuan coalition army, then there must be about 30,000 people.

Everyone knows that Gongsun Zhan has achieved a lot of results, after all, there are so many captures, if after solving the Xianbei Wuhuan, the Han army will return to the south, and who can resist in Youzhou.
