Youzhou Liaodong.

This place was originally under the rule of the Han Dynasty, but because of the long distance and the somewhat biased location, it seemed unfamiliar.

The original Liaodong Taishou Gongsun Du is the father of the current Liaodong Taishou Gongsun Kang, which can be regarded as their own land.

After all, the world is falling apart, and there are countless princes who occupy one side, and Gongsun Kang's move is not excessive.

Of course, although he stole a county, Gongsun Kang didn't have too many enterprising ideas, all he thought about was self-preservation.

to survive to this day.

If his attitude is obvious, I'm afraid he doesn't have to wait for Cao Cao, Gongsun Zhan and Yuan Shao will clean him up.

But in any case, Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao are now cold, and Cao Cao is the new overlord in this chess game.

Gongsun Kang naturally has a wait-and-see attitude.

It is obvious that Gongsun Kang does not want to be hard steel with Cao Cao, when today, I am afraid that no one has the confidence to face Cao Cao's soldiers, after all, even Yuan Shao has failed, and he worships so thoroughly.

Or to put it another way, Gongsun Kang is not an ordinary person, although he lives in a corner, he has also done a lot of things.

During his stay in Liaodong, Gongsun Kang led his army to fight against the Dongyi people led by Goguryeo, and won many victories.

is because people like Gongsun Kang don't like to be manipulated, even if Cao Cao bullies him, it is impossible to sit still.

What he needs most is undoubtedly Cao Cao's attitude.

If there is really no way to negotiate, then the net can only be broken, can you still send your head over for people to cut off?

At this time, it was the time when the Yuan brothers were defeated and fled from White Wolf City.

No one could have imagined that Wu Huan, who seemed to be quite strong, would lose to Cao Cao so easily.

Not even a real workhorse, just a vanguard army.

Now the Yuan brothers have no other choice, they can only go to Liaodong, hoping that Gongsun Kang will take them in.

After all, Yuan Shao was extremely powerful at the beginning, and the two sides had some friendship, so it was impossible to really ignore it completely.

In the eyes of the Yuan brothers, since Gongsun Kang has not yet defected to Cao Cao, most of them still have the opportunity to negotiate.

As long as you give enough benefits, you are not afraid that Gongsun Kang will have no ideas.

Riding at a gallop, Yuan Xi sighed helplessly and said:

"Third brother, the matter has come to this, we can only go to Liaodong, if Gongsun Kang is willing to take you and me, maybe there will be a chance to make a comeback."

Speaking of this, Yuan Xi was inexplicably unconfident, but he could only bite the bullet and continue to move forward.

But Yuan Shang thought more, and said in a deep voice:

"If you and my brother can rise again, we will definitely cut that thief with a thousand knives to relieve the hatred in my heart. As for Gongsun Kang of Liaodong, he is not a hero, and he may be able to plot. ”

Yuan Xi's eyes widened, a little speechless.

What time is it now?

You're a daring kid.

However, Yuan Shang disagreed, and continued:

"If Gongsun Kang leaves you and me, and the soldiers and horses under his command are still there, as long as you look for a suitable opportunity, this Liaodong will be in the pocket of you and my brother, and then we can really plot to make a big deal again."

The corners of Yuan Xi's mouth twitched slightly, listening to such big words in his ears, it was really a little confusing.

The most important thing is that although Yuan Xi is not a good person, he still knows the basic morality. If Yuan Shang really did this, whether they succeeded or not, the two brothers would be laughed at by the world.

But seeing Yuan Shang's expression at the moment, Yuan Xi didn't know how to persuade him, so he could only shake his head and say:

"Don't think about what you don't have now, finding a foothold is the key, otherwise it's just empty talk."

Don't look at what Yuan Shang said, but it is not easy to operate, and it is estimated that there is no such opportunity.

Then let him continue his delusions.

After deciding where to go, the two did not delay time, went all the way to Liaodong, and defected to Gongsun Kang.

It is because Gongsun Kang has not waited for Cao Cao's attitude, and it is also a trouble to wait for two hot potatoes first.

In this regard, Gongsun Kang was naturally quite hesitant.

Before deciding, convene your subordinates to discuss how to deal with the two and whether to accept them?

Although the Yuan brothers have a good calculation, it does not mean that everyone will accommodate others.

Gongsun Kang's younger brother Gongsun Gong said to Gongsun Kang:

"Although this Yuan brother was strong in the past, but now it is no longer the same as in the past, if you leave them, most of them will have a grudge with Cao Cao, but now what Cao Cao thinks, it is not yet known."

Gongsun Kang thought so, nodded and said:

"It is this reason, Ben Taishou is also worried, if it really angers Cao Cao, I am afraid that my Liaodong will no longer exist."

Gongsun Gong thought about it and said loudly:

"But the elder brother doesn't have to worry so much, it's better to leave the two of them for the time being in a false name, but don't take it lightly, and see what Cao Cao thinks, it's not too late to make a decision when the time comes.

If Cao Cao doesn't have the intention of dealing with me in Liaodong, my brother can send the heads of the two as a gift. If Cao Cao had already had the idea of using troops against Liaodong, he could unite the two against the enemy. ”

Therefore, the role of the Yuan brothers depends on Cao Cao.

It doesn't even have anything to do with them themselves.

This is a reasonable explanation, Gongsun Kang smiled and said:

"Yes, then let them in for the time being, but there is one more request, let them place all their soldiers and horses outside the city."

The Yuan brothers are not good people, after all, their own brothers are all cut indiscriminately, let alone him, an outsider?

It's normal for Gongsun Kang to be a little worried.

If they are allowed to bring in a large army, I am afraid that it will really cause trouble, but it is not as stable as this.

If the Yuan brothers were really sincere, they would naturally be willing to come in, and if they had ulterior motives, they wouldn't have to enter the city.

At this moment, the Yuan brothers were waiting outside, and Gongsun Gong personally led people there and told the matter.

If he wanted to leave the army outside, Yuan Shang was naturally unwilling, which was equivalent to sending the head to the opposite face.

But there was no other way for them.

Yuan Xi readily agreed and said:

"There is no problem with this matter, please ask the general to tell Taishou that my two brothers are sincerely seeking refuge in Liaodong."

Yuan Shang opened his mouth, but was finally speechless.

After Gongsun Gong left, Yuan Shang suddenly said indignantly:

"What does the second brother mean by this, without the army in hand, what else can you and I do in the city?"

Yuan Xi looked resolute and said loudly:

"Third brother, the matter has come to this, do you have any other way?

Now it is us who seek refuge in Liaodong, not Liaodong seeking you and me, if you don't give up something, how can you enter the city? ”

Compared to the city, it is even more unsafe outside.

Hearing Yuan Xi's words, Yuan Shang was finally convinced, sighed and said:

"What the second brother said is very true, I understand."

They have all reached such a desperate situation, they have to give up something, and there is nothing perfect in the world.

These are all fixed numbers, and Yuan Xi seems to be very Buddhist.
