Section 32 Lobbying Liaodong

Liaodong in Layue is frozen for thousands of miles, and under the blue sky, a Haidongqing spreads its huge wings and looks down on a team of people and horses through the dense coniferous forest. The banners embroidered with the word "Gongsun" are waving in the wind, just like their owners are resolute and resolute, and never bow to the wind.

"My lord, the eldest prince has hunted three deer, ten roe deer, and forty rabbits. "A horse scout brought the harvest of another team of men and horses hunting to the leader of the Youzhou Mugong Sun Du.

Gongsun Du only nodded when he heard this, and did not comment on his son's results. Behind him hung a dead tiger on a warhorse. Although the tiger was hit by many arrows, the most lethal blow was the one in its left eye. The whole arrow runs through the brain from the tiger's eye, leaving only a white feather tail exposed, and there is also a mark of the word "degree" engraved on it.

That's right, this is Gongsun Du's trophy. It is true that he is over fifty years old, but Gongsun Du can still ride a fierce horse and kill a leopard, his back is as strong as a pine and cypress, and his hands are as steady as a rock. Anyone who sees it will not question the martial arts of the "King of Liaodong" in front of him.

However, just two years ago, the news of Gongsun Du's defeat under the city of Jinxi spread throughout Liaodong almost overnight. The shogunate Houcheng where he was located even once spread rumors that Gongsun Du vomited blood and died suddenly due to defeat, which made the soldiers and civilians under his rule panic and uneasy, and made some Hu people who were attached to him ape. Of course, Gongsun Du did not die suddenly, but the first battle of Jinxi did leave him lying on the sickbed for several months.

Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses besieged Jinxi, and only 8,000 remnants of the army retreated to Xuansu, and the fiasco of Jinxi made Gongsun Du still think about it with a bitter taste of blood. And when he learned on the sickbed that Cai Ji of Donglai and Cao Cao joined forces to exterminate Yuan Shao, this bitterness gradually brewed into a lingering hatred.

However, Gongsun Du was not completely carried away by hatred. The first thing he did after recovering from his illness and getting out of bed was not to gather his troops and horses to seek revenge in Jinxi, but to start cleaning up the small gangsters in Houcheng City. When Cai Ji and Cao Cao were busy carving up Hebei, Gongsun Du was not in a hurry to send troops south to get involved in the Guannei, but mobilized troops and horses to exterminate the two Wuhuan tribes in Liaodong who listened to the seal and did not listen to the tune. As the emperor of Liaodong, Gongsun Du knew very well that he wanted to dominate this black land where the weak and the strong prey. You have to keep your minions sharp at all times. Once you show the fatigue of weakness, even if you were once a fierce tiger, there will still be greedy wolves swarming up and eating it.

Now, after more than a year of rectification and purge, Gongsun Du has successfully deterred the large and small tribes under his rule. Even many tribes have a more respectful attitude towards the Gongsun family than before the Battle of Jinxi. But Gongsun Du knew that Hu Ren's respect was only superficial. The defeat of Jinxi had essentially affected Gongsun Du's prestige among the tribes of Liaodong. It must be known that the Hu people have always been afraid of power and not virtuous. The only thing that can make them surrender is power. Unless Gongsun Du can defeat Jinxi and defeat Cai Ji and prove himself to be the strongest in the land of Liaodong once again, the Hu tribes of Liaodong will not be sincerely loyal to him.

Therefore, before taking revenge on Jinxi, Gongsun Du will not show a trace of fatigue to the outside world. Even he personally. With this thought in mind, Gongsun Du clamped the horse's belly, led a group of soldiers and horses to ride down the ridge, and went east along the valley. It wasn't long before the crowd saw their rest camp on the edge of a frozen riverbed.

Although it is only a hunting trip. The scale of the rest camp is not small. Among them were gray-white marching tents, as well as tents hastily erected with animal skins and sheep felt. But I saw a group of soldiers with spears patrolling by, and a few brutes were sitting around the campfire with a pile of arrows. When Gongsun Du led the horse team to jump into the camp. Whether it was a soldier or a barbarian, they stopped their work one after another. Stand up and salute your father-in-law.

Gongsun Kang, who arrived at the camp one step earlier, saw that his father had returned to the camp, so he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, "The child has seen his father." "

Gongsun Du glanced at his son, who was dressed in military uniform, and asked casually, "I heard that you have made a lot of gains today." "

"Three deer, ten roe deer, and forty rabbits. The child has asked the cook to roast deer breast. I'll ask my father to taste it later. Gongsun Kang complacently reported the results of his hunt again. Gongsun Du did not have a son-in-law, and the eldest son of the concubine, Gongsun Kang, became the recognized heir of the Gongsun family. On weekdays, the retainers are inevitably a little arrogant. However, arrogance is arrogance, and Gongsun Kang is not a stupid person. The next moment, he quickly noticed the tiger corpse behind Gongsun Du. Overjoyed, Gongsun Kang immediately had an idea and deliberately proclaimed loudly, "Congratulations to my father for hunting the tiger!" "

The soldiers, who were already in awe of Gongsun Du, heard that their lord had hunted a tiger at first glance, and the thunderous cheers suddenly resounded in the sky.

Gongsun Kang couldn't help but be happy when he saw that his father, who was bathed in cheers, finally had a little smile on his face. But before he could say more beautiful words, Gongsun Du seemed to have restrained his smile and turned his gaze to the other side.

Following his father's line of sight, Gongsun Kang saw that Zhizhong Yangyi was leading an old man in Tsing Yi walking towards them. Yang Yi is a close advisor to Gongsun Du, and the people he brings will naturally not be idle. With this thought, Gongsun Kang couldn't help but look at the comer curiously. But I saw that the old man was about fifty years old, his hair was gray, and although he was not tall and tall, his gestures were very dignified.

Just when Gongsun Kang secretly sighed when there was such a person in Liaodong, Yang Yi had already led the old man in Tsing Yi to bow to Gongsun Du and said, "I've seen the lord." "

Gongsun Du on horseback glanced at the old man in Tsing Yi, and turned to Xiang Yangyi to ask, "Ziyu, who is this?" "

"My lord, this is Shangshu Ling Guo Gongze, Guo Lingjun. "

"Guo Lingjun? Lone has only heard that Xu has a Xun Lingjun, and I don't know when another Guo Lingjun appeared. Gongsun Du sneered and tugged at the corners of his mouth. The old man brought by Yangyi was none other than Guo Tu, Yuan Tan's mastermind. Because of his position as Shang Shuling in the puppet Chen regime, Yang Yi honored him as Guo Lingjun. And Xun Lingjun referred to by Gongsun Du is the authentic Han Shangshu Ling Xun Yu.

Gongsun Du asked arrogantly on the horse, and used Xun Yu to humiliate Guo Tu, which was obviously giving people a disgrace. However, Guo Tu was not provoked, let alone discouraged. I saw him flick his long sleeves, bow to Gongsun Du and say, "Guo Tu has seen the king." The picture only knows that there is a king of Liaodong, but I don't know that there is a marquis of Yongning. "

Gongsun Du stared at Guo Tu for a moment, then suddenly laughed and turned over and dismounted, stretched out his hand to lead Guo Tu and said, "Sir, please." "

It turned out that not long ago, Cao Cao had just recruited Gongsun Du as a general of Wuwei in the name of the Son of Heaven. And named him the Marquis of Yongning. As a result, Gongsun Du replied to the envoy and said, "I am the king of Liaodong, and He Yongning is also." He turned around and threw the seal given by the imperial court into the arsenal. Guo Tu's sentence "I only know that there is a king of Liaodong, but I don't know that there is a Yongning township" undoubtedly speaks to Gongsun Du's heart. thus won him the qualification to talk to Gongsun Du.

Long before Gongsun Du returned to the camp, Gongsun Kang had ordered people to set up tents by the river, raise bonfires, and roast game. After the four of them were seated, the soldiers immediately brought the game and wine that had been prepared.

Gongsun Du first waved his hand to signal his soldiers to retreat. Then while carrying a pot and pouring wine, he asked Guo Tu, "I don't know what advice Mr. has for coming to Liaodong to see Gu this time?" "

"I don't dare to give advice. "Guo Tu's hand twists and beards to get straight to the point," Tu dared to ask here. Can the king of Liaodong dare to be called Wang Youzhou? "

Guo Tu's questioning was not so much an inquiry as a provocation. At least when Gongsun Kang and Yang Yi heard the words "call Wang Youzhou", their eyes showed yearning. In fact. If there is no defeat of Jinxi. The historical Gongsun Du should have set up an altar in the south of Xiangping City in accordance with the ancient system at this moment, sacrificed heaven and earth in the suburbs, cultivated the fields by himself, governed the army, and sat on the Luan car that the emperor could only sit on when traveling, and there were nine jade strings hanging from the hat, and the cavalry wearing a hat was the Yulin army.

However, at this moment, Gongsun Du, who was the party concerned, took a sip of water and wine. Noncommittally, he asked, "What about Lone?" What if you don't want to? "

"If the king of Liaodong does not have this intention, the old man will leave Liaodong and will never disturb the king. When Guo Tu said this, he first paused, and then raised his voice, "If the king of Liaodong has the heart of being called the king of Youzhou, my lord is willing to join hands with the king of Liaodong to map the world!" "

"Your lord? But Yuan Xiansi, the eldest son of the original? Gongsun Du asked sideways.

"It is my lord. Guo Tu admitted.

Gongsun Du laughed silently, "Mr. is lonely? Yuan Xiansi was defeated and went to Mobei, and now there are thousands of horsemen around him? "

At the moment, of course, there are no thousand cavalry horses around Yuan Tan. But Guo Tu was not only weak-hearted, but retorted confidently, "The king of Liaodong should not underestimate my lord. The roots of Xianbei Budu have surrendered to my lord. Don't say that you can send thousands of troops, even if you have 10,000 horses! "

Hearing that Yuan Tan had subdued the Xianbei people, Gongsun Kang couldn't help but blurt out, "So good??" "

Who would have thought that before Gongsun Kang finished speaking, Gongsun Du had already waved his hand and interrupted categorically, "Lone will not join hands with the Xianbei people, let alone let the Xianbei people wreak havoc on the Central Plains!" "

The sudden change in Gongsun Du's attitude surprised Guo Tu slightly, so he hurriedly explained, "It's just a temporary power from Xianbei." When we capture Hebei, we will invite them back to the desert. At most, the woman can give some of the property to Chief Hu. "

"It's easy to please God, but it's hard to send God. Huayi is different, Xianbei people are greedy and cunning, once they invade the Central Plains, how can they leave lightly. Gongsun Du still shook his head stubbornly.

In Guo Tu's opinion, Gongsun Du has recruited more people to be sons-in-law, and it is ridiculous to talk about the difference between Huayi and Huayi here. Thinking of this, Guo Tu immediately clicked through, "Wuhuan and Fuyu are not Hu Yi? "

"Wuhuan and Fuyu are attached to the Hu people, how can they be compared with the Xianbei people. Gongsun Du said with a sip.

Of course, Gongsun Du's statement cannot be wrong. Since the Western Han Dynasty, the Han court has successively recruited border nomadic tribes to annex. The most typical example of this is the Qiang. The Qiang people who moved to Liangzhou to accept the rule of the Han Dynasty and were both agricultural and pastoral were called Seneiqiang. The nomadic Qiang people in the Qinghai grasslands are called Saiwaiqiang. In addition, among the Qiang tribes that maintained good relations with the Han court, they were also called Baosaiqiang, that is, the Qiang people who assisted the imperial court in protecting the border fortress. The Wuhuan and Buyeo tribes are positioned between Senehu and Baosaihu in eastern Liaodong. In comparison, Wuhuan's Sinicization Cheng dù is even higher. But Rao is like this, Gongsun Du still needs to use force to deter the Wuhuan tribes, and marry his daughter to win over the rest of the Fuyu.

On the other hand, the Xianbei people who had just emerged outside the Saiwai did not accept the king at all. In the past, Emperor Huan was worried about the trouble of Xianbei, and wanted to crown the Xianbei leader Tan Shihuai as the king and make peace with him. Who knew that instead of accepting it, Tanshi Huai led his troops to step up the invasion and plundering of the fortresses on the edge of the Great Wall. His wolf ambitions are clear.

Therefore, in Gongsun Du's view, to deal with this kind of unruly life, only if the other party is scared first, can he mention the matter of subduation. Like Guo Tu and Yuan Tan, who have no strength to partner with Xianbei people, they are undoubtedly seeking skin with the tiger.

However, Gongsun Du's thoughts were not only difficult for Guo Tu to understand, but even his son Gongsun Kang couldn't help but step forward and interject, "Father"

"Shut up! Gongsun Du rudely interrupted his son's exhortation, and then turned back to Guo Tu and announced in a deep voice, "Lone will not join forces with Yuan Xiansi, sir, please come back." ‘

Gongsun Du's resolute attitude instantly froze the atmosphere of the scene. Gongsun Kang shrunk his neck and didn't dare to disobey his father again. Yang Yi secretly glanced at Guo Tu with a little worry, for fear that he would not know how to advance or retreat and anger Gongsun Du. After all, he brought the person, in case Guo Tuzhen provoked his own father-in-law, then he Yangyi would have to follow him and walk around.

However, it turned out that Yang Yi's worries were completely unnecessary. Guo Tu didn't have a reckless tongue to provoke Gongsun Du to kill. On the contrary, he got up very familiarly, waved his hand at Gongsun Du, and left the tent without looking back.

As Guo Tu's back disappeared from sight, Gongsun Du said softly while playing with the wine cup in his hand, "Kang'er, you shouldn't have shown your thoughts in front of people just now. "

Faced with his father's strict admonition, Gongsun Kang opened his mouth differently and did not dare to refute. Seeing this, Yang Yi on the side hurriedly and cautiously asked Gongsun Dutan, "What does the lord plan to do with Guo Tu?" "

Gongsun Du raised his head and drank the water and wine in the cup and said, "Dry it first." "

On the other hand, after Guo Tu left the big account, he didn't stay for a long time, but walked out of the camp and met Jun Yali, who had been waiting there for a long time. The two walked for a while towards the depths of the dense forest, until there was no one around, and Jun Yali couldn't wait to ask, "Gongsun Du can agree to Mr.'s request?" "

Guo Tu shook his head playfully, "Gongsun Du said that he would not join hands with the Xianbei people to go south to the Central Plains. "

Jun Yali didn't understand the difference between Huayi, she only knew that without Gongsun Du's help, Yuan Tan and the others would not be able to defeat Cai Ji, and her revenge plan would also become a utopian dream. In a hurry, Jun Yali couldn't help but stomp her feet and said, "How is this good?" "

"The old man has a plan to turn things around. Guo Tu said this, turned his head and looked at Jun Yali fixedly, "This plan needs to be done with the power of the monarch and the banner master." "
