Chapter 8: Wanting to take charge of Liaodong

Xu Rong looked at Gongsun Du and opened his mouth to speak, but it seemed that he had encountered an unspeakable hidden secret, and it was difficult to open his mouth.

Gongsun Du saw his thoughts and said, "Brother Xu, my father changed my name at the beginning of a few years, and my name is Gongsun Du, and the word is Shengji. ”

Xu Rong smiled awkwardly and said, "A few years ago, my father also gave me the word, Tingfang, you can call me Tingfang in the future, I will call you Shengji." ”

"Okay, Tingfang!" Gongsun Du happily responded.

Xu Rong nodded, looked at Liu Yi again, and said to Gongsun Du: "This is my comrade in Shanggu County, but he is not in the same song, he is also the tun chief, and his qualifications are higher than mine." is called Liu Yi, and the word is Hongyuan. ”

When Gongsun Du heard Xu Rong's introduction, his mind exploded all of a sudden: Liu Yi? One of my cronies in the history books? The Liu Yi who once fought with Zhang Liao and didn't die? The history books say that he is brave and good at fighting, and Liu Yi is brave and strategic? Is that he allegiance to me in circumstances like today......

I have to say that Gongsun Du should have drunk too much at this time, otherwise how could there be unrealistic fantasies?

Yes, in history, it was your Gongsun Du's subordinates or cronies, but does this mean that people will bow their heads as soon as they see you? Could it be that Gongsun Du has changed his surname to Wang, his name is eight, and the spirit of the word, as long as he releases it, he can convince others?

It's probably not that easy to dream!

Therefore, when Gongsun Du came back to his senses, he saw Xu Rong, his father, and Liu Yi looking at him strangely, and couldn't help touching his face, and wondered: "What's wrong?" What are you looking at me for? ”

Gongsun Yan said worriedly, "Are you okay?" ”

Gongsun Du is not stupid, the moment he came back to his senses, he already understood what everyone was looking at him for, and he said that before, just to hide his embarrassment. Therefore, for Gongsun Yan's question, he just replied: "Me? I'm nothing! ”

"That ......"

Gongsun Yan was about to say more, but Gongsun Du waved his hand and said, "If you said just now, I was just thinking about something." ”

"Thinking about things?"

Gongsun Yan, Xu Rong, and Liu Yi were all puzzled.

A daze, eerie smile...... Are you thinking about things like this? If you think that things are like this, it is too "incredible"!

Gongsun Du didn't give them a chance to think deeply, but instead talked about an idea that had just popped up, which was considered to solve his urgent need-

"Tingfang, now there is no Taishou in Liaodong, right?"

Xu Rong didn't know why Gongsun Du said this, but he still replied honestly: "That's right, as far as I know, that's the case." But I got this news half a year ago, and now I ......," he shook his head, and the meaning was self-evident.

Gongsun Du said: "I think it is more likely that there is no Taishou, because now the imperial court does not know about the Taishou of Liaodong who abandoned his official position and fled. ”

After a pause, he explained: "It is likely that he does not want to be held accountable by the imperial court. ”

Xu Rong and the others all nodded.

Gongsun Du said again: "In this case, why can't we organize a group of village warriors to maintain the stability of Liaodong." This maintains the ......"

"Wait!" Xu Rong's eyes widened and he shouted, "Shengji, do you know what you're talking about?" If you are sued by the court, you are a great crime of rebellion, and you will be connected to the nine clans! ”

Liu Yi also nodded fiercely in agreement.

Gongsun Yan has been an official for many years, and he is very clear about this, and persuaded: "Leopard, I know that you want to protect the people of your hometown from being bullied by foreigners, but this matter cannot be done without the appointment of the imperial court. ”

Gongsun Du was just about to refute, but when he saw Gongsun Yanchong constantly glancing at him, he remembered that this was still in the inn, in front of the public, and quickly shut up.

Xu Rong and Liu Yi also saw Gongsun Yan's eyes, and they both nodded. Then the four of them pretended to look at the people eating in the hall casually, and were relieved to see that no one was paying attention to their table.

"Little Er!" Gongsun Du rolled his eyes and shouted.

Xiao Er immediately woke up from his drowsiness and said diligently: "What do you have to say from the guest officer?" ”

Gongsun Du said: "Is there a guest room?" ”

The second brother pretended to be unhappy and said: "Look at what you said, in Changli, if our family doesn't have a guest room, then there is no one, you must know that our inn is the largest in the city." ”

Gongsun Du thought that Xiao Er was bragging, but looking at the look in his eyes, he understood that he was not talking nonsense, so he said: "Okay, come, um, three upper rooms, and then send all of them on our table." ”

Xiao Erle said: "Okay, come with me, guest officer, and the things on the table will be sent to you later." ”

Xu Rong and the others understood what Gongsun Du meant, but they didn't mind that he made his own claims without asking everyone's opinions, so they all followed.

Soon after, the four of Gongsun Du gathered in a certain room of the inn, and the wine and food were also delivered, as for Liu Yi's friends, he continued to drink. Obviously, he also understood what Gongsun Du was doing this for, and for the sake of safety, it was better not to let more people know.

After sending Xiao Er away, Gongsun Du glanced at the door again, and after making sure that there was no one, he closed the door and sat down.

"What I mean, since the imperial court can't manage it for the time being, for the sake of the people of Liaodong, we can temporarily unite and organize the township to resist the pills, and even Louzi (Lou Ru) and the rest of the people (Buyeo) in the north." Gongsun Du said in a voice that could only be heard by a few people in the house, "I know your worries, but we are Xiangyong, and we are located in the border area, or there are no court officials in the border area, the court will not know." ”

"After all these years, those who can escape must have fled, and those who have not escaped must be concerned about Liaodong, not only will they not report to the imperial court, but they will also vigorously support us."

Gongsun Yan is nothing, after all, he is Gongsun Du's father, and it seems that they only have Liaodong to go at present.

Xu Rong and Liu Yi are different. Xu Rong is concerned about the court and loyal to the court, he feels that it is inappropriate to do this, and even looks at Gongsun Du's eyes a little different, if he doesn't hear that it is to protect the people, and he is still his friend, I am afraid that he would have the idea of informing. Liu Yi's eyes were bright, and he agreed with this proposal.

Gongsun Du took in the changes in the complexions of Xu and Liu, especially Liu Yi, who was very satisfied, and felt worthy of being his cronies, and he really had the same heart with him. At this time, he forgot that it was Liu Yi who persuaded him to be king in history. Xu Rong's words were a little apprehensive, knowing that if he didn't come up with something powerful, he might not even have to be a friend in the future.

"Actually, the organization of Xiangyong is only temporary, it can be regarded as a preliminary preparation, I will ask the imperial court for my life as soon as possible to obtain the appointment of a border county captain, and then it will be justified."

"However, this matter is not urgent, not to mention the time it takes to go back and forth, let's just say that now that the pills are rampant, and if we delay for one more day, more people will suffer. Therefore, as soon as the appointment of the imperial court comes, it can be officially formed into an army, and in order to reduce the casualties and losses of the people, the organization of the village warriors should be counted more as preparation and military training. ”

Although Xu Rong felt reasonable, he still felt that it was inappropriate and opened his mouth to speak. Gongsun Du hurriedly interrupted and said, "Tingfang, I know that you are loyal to the court and don't want to be that thief, but we are not loyal to the court?" Are we like thieves? ”

When Xu Rong heard this, he looked at Gongsun Du and the three of them, and could only nod helplessly.

Seeing Xu Rong nodding, Gongsun Du felt that the most difficult problem had been solved, but in order to ease Xu Rong's heart, he asked again: "Tingfang, let me ask you, if you are appointed as a captain, how long will it take you to become an army?" Can you have enough strength to resist Maruko and other alien races? ”

Xu Rong thought for a while and said with difficulty: "It's not that you can't form an army for more than a month, if you want to have the strength to fight with Maruki and other alien races, you can't do it in a year." ”

Syllable~

Gongsun Du slapped his thigh excitedly, startling the others, but he didn't care: "That's it, what if we don't prepare early." Sometimes, you should really follow the rules, but sometimes, shouldn't you also be in a hurry? Right? Otherwise, it will take a few months to wait for the appointment of the imperial court, and it will take a year and a half in the training, and two years have passed, according to the current practice of pills, it is difficult to say whether there is anyone in the entire Liaodong! ”

Xu Rong was silent when he heard this. It can be seen that his loyalty to the Han court is indeed placed in the most important position.

Gongsun Du couldn't help but be anxious when he saw this, but he really didn't know what to do, so he had to rush to the doctor and give Liu Yi a look.

Liu Yi understood, nodded slightly, and then yelled at Xu Rong: "I said you Xu Tingfang, haven't you always loved your subordinates and the people?" Why are the people who are protecting a county retreating now? Isn't there no appointment from the imperial court for the time being? But didn't Lord Gongsun say that he would ask the imperial court to appoint him as soon as possible, what are you afraid of? ”

Xu Rong was agitated by this, gritted his teeth, and said, "Okay, I agreed." However, I hope that when the order of the imperial court arrives, we can turn the village into a county soldier and enter the city. ”

Gongsun Du was overjoyed and said: "Okay, according to what Tingfang said, we usually train Xiangyong in the surrounding mountains, and wait for the appointment of the imperial court." ”

"Okay, this is the Xu Tingfang I know." Liu Yi was also delighted.

Gongsun Yan stroked his beard and smiled, but did not speak.

They didn't know that at this time, Xu Rong kept comforting himself in his heart: temporary, just not appointed for the time being, just temporary!
