Liaoxi County, Taishou Mansion.

Gongsun Zhan's eldest son, Gongsun Xu, returned to the mansion with a disappointed face, his face full of clouds.

"Childe, anger hurts the liver, dissipate anger!

A scribe stepped forward and personally brought a cup of tea to Gongsun Xu, and said with relief.

Gongsun continued to say in a deep voice: "Tian Ning, tell me, what is my father worried about, now that the holy decree has arrived, why has he not sent troops to Liaodong for a long time." ”

This Tian Ning is a scribe who Gongsun Xu came to Liaoxi County to meet, and he gave advice to Gongsun Xu, solved problems, and was quite important.

At the beginning of the month, the holy decree was transmitted to Youbeiping, and Gongsun Zan also led Liaodong County, but Gongsun continued to be excited, and in the era of king and hegemony, who could not strengthen himself.

The holy decree clearly stated that if Liu Yi was appointed as the assassin of Youzhou, he should withdraw from Liaodong and go to Jixian County, Youzhou to take office.

Although the Eastern Han Dynasty has the right to supervise the counties and counties, it can also send officials to act on its behalf, and there is no longer a past, and each state has a fixed station, but it can only be regarded as a nominal official.

Tian Ning whispered: "Presumably, adults don't want to be miserable, so they start killing in vain!" ”

"No!"

Gongsun continued to sneer at it.

Since childhood, Gongsun Xu grew up under the influence of Gongsun Zhan, his father was warlike by nature, decisive in killing, never soft on killing, and would care about these.

"There are 20,000 mercenaries in Youbeiping and Liaoxi, which is only a lot more than the troops of Liu Yi's three counties, besides, Liu Yi must always be on guard against the Xianbei in the central and western Xianbei to attack, and the real available soldiers are only four or five thousand people, so why be afraid!"

Tian Ning said again: "I heard that Liu Yi has recently recruited troops outside Xiangping City to train a new army, and he is ambitious, and he has great intentions to annex Youzhou. ”

Gongsun Xu exclaimed, "How did Mr. know? ”

"Listen to the businessman!"

Tian Ning said slowly: "Recently, there have been fewer and fewer people trading between the two counties, and the goods are all transported from Liaoxi to Liaodong, and there has never been any goods from Liaodong to Liaoxi, but Liu Yi has already hoarded materials in Liaodong, and he is only allowed to enter but not leave, and he has crossed the sea route from Qing and Xuzhou to transport two large ships of iron ore, presumably to build weapons in secret." ”

Gongsun continued to be shocked and said, "I'm afraid this thief has long been thinking about my Liaoxi County." ”

Tian Ning rolled his eyes, and said: "There is another matter, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it!"

"Gongzi can hear that Liu Yi is lustful, insatiable, and indulgent, the reason why Goguryeo was tragically destroyed is that this thief in order to capture the eldest daughter of King Taizu, Liji, if he is allowed to invade Liaoxi and Youbeiping, I am afraid it will be ......"

Gongsun Xu sighed in his heart, his wives and concubines were all as beautiful as flowers, I was afraid that they had already been remembered by this thief, and his face was full of anger, and he shouted: "If this thief is not removed, it will be difficult for Liaoxi County to be safe, and it will be difficult for Youzhou to be peaceful!" ”

"Sir, but now my father has been hesitant, without his military order, how can I mobilize the soldiers and horses of Liaoxi County?"

The soldiers and horses of Liaoxi County are in the hands of Yan Gang, and without Gongsun Zhan's instructions, Gongsun Xu will not be able to mobilize the army to fight.

Tian Ning replied in a deep voice: "Childe, eighty miles east of Liaoxi is the town of northeast Liaoning, where is the place where the soldiers between the two counties must pass through, if Gongzi uses the momentum of thunder, defeats the defenders of Beizhen in a battle, guards the city, and blows the horn of attacking Liaodong, the adults are bound to respond immediately, and when the time comes, the army will press the border, and Liaodong County will be at your fingertips." ”

Gongsun continued to say: "You mean to let me cut first and then play?" ”

"Not bad!"

Tian Ning Zheng Sheng replied: "The subordinates have already found out clearly, the defenders of Beizhen are only three or four hundred, and they are old and frail, and the prince only needs to mention more than a thousand elite soldiers to be able to fight in one battle!" ”

Mobilizing a thousand men and horses is not a difficult task for Gongsun Xu, but if the siege is unfavorable and his father blames him, how should he deal with it?

Seeing Gongsun continue to move, Tian Ning said in a low voice from the side: "The prince and the prince will have a kind of Xiangning, does the prince want to live under the people for a long time and not be known to the world?" ”

Hearing Tian Ning's words, Gongsun Xu's heart was instantly full of enthusiasm, and he said proudly: "Tomorrow, I will personally lead the soldiers and horses to kill Benbei Town, and Mr. can accompany the army counselor." ”

Tian Ning arched his hand and said, "How dare you disobey!" ”

The two of them immediately talked in detail about how to mobilize troops and how to march, which can be described as meticulous, just waiting to move.

……

Right Beiping.

Gongsun Zhan carefully looked at the topographic map of Youzhou hanging in the military tent, and looked directly at the territory of Liaodong with his eyes, and let him concurrently lead Liaodong County, which also made him like a tiger with wings, entrenched in the entire northeast border of Youzhou.

"Lord, the prince has already sent someone to urge you several times, asking when you will leave for Liaoxi."

The chief official Guan Jing said in a deep voice.

From the moment the holy decree was transmitted to Youbeiping, the literati and military generals under Gongsun Chan all advocated entering Liaodong as soon as possible, and Guan Jing gave countless admonitions, but Gongsun Chan never let go, and these people under him could only be anxious.

"Shiqi, Liu Yi has great ambitions, Xianbei and Goguryeo in the east were defeated in his hands, his soldiers are like gods, not to be underestimated, and his soldiers and horses are the division of tigers and wolves, if there is no perfect strategy, how can this general dare to make a move."

Gongsun Chan sighed, he didn't want to take Liaodong for his own use, but under all these concerns, he could only take one step at a time.

Guan Jing said again: "Lord, Han Fu showed weakness, he has ceded Jizhou to Yuan Benchu, Yuan Highway has also occupied Yangzhou, Yuan's brothers, the thirteen states in the world have obtained two, plus Yuan's protégés and former officials, all over the world, if these two people ascend to the heights, I am afraid that the world will be surnamed Yuan, if the lord does not prepare as soon as possible, when the time comes, what will be used to resist this jackal's army." ”

Gongsun Zhan said distressedly: "But Liu Yi has the tiger Li Yuanba under him, how to deal with it?" ”

Guan Jing took a step closer to Gongsun Zhan, and said in a low voice: "Lord, now Liu Bei is stationed in Xinglong, Youbeiping, and his subordinates Guan Yu and Zhang Fei all have the style of generals, and they can show Liu Bei as the Taishou of Xuansu County, once the battle starts, Liu Bei can be summoned to send troops together, as long as Guan Zhang and the two of them drag Li Yuanba, the Liaodong Army is not in trouble!" ”

"This ......"

Gongsun Chan was about to answer, but a junior school ran in in a hurry, bowed to Gongsun Chan and said, "Lord, something is wrong, General Yan Gang has just sent an urgent report, and Gongzi privately transferred a thousand men and horses to Beizhen City, Liaodong County." ”

"What ......"

Gongsun Zan was shocked, and hurriedly shouted: "Order Yan Gang to mobilize the army to recover this rebel, and do not use troops unless it is absolutely necessary." ”

"No!"

The Colonel hurriedly retreated and passed the news to the messenger.

Guan Jing admonished: "Lord, you can quickly summon Liu Bei to come and do a foolproof strategy!" ”

"Hmm!"

Gongsun Zhan nodded in agreement, and ordered Guan Jing to go to Xinglong in person, and then summoned the lieutenant generals and colonels of the army, so that all departments were ready to send troops at any time.

……

North Town, Liaodong County.

Gongsun continued to climb the city tower and said to Tian Ning behind him with a smile: "What Mr. said is true, the defenders of Beizhen are not only old, weak, sick and disabled, but also timid and afraid. ”

Tian Ning complimented: "This is the son's use of troops in a good way, and he is a righteous army, how can the enemy not surrender!" ”

"Haha......"

Listening to Tian Ning's flattering words, Gongsun Xu was even more happy, and said solemnly: "Send someone to send the news back quickly to welcome the arrival of the army!" ”

"No!"

Tian Ning bowed down and took the order.
