When Zhang Hao led people to the county order office, he saw that the gate of the county order was open, and there was no one, obviously the county order had run away after receiving the news.

Zhang Hao walked into the county order and found that everything in it had not moved, it seemed that this county order was very life-sparing, it seemed that he didn't bring any family property, and he ran away with his family as soon as he received the news.

"Lord, it's strange to say, the gate valve families in the city basically ran away, and when they ran, they didn't bring any property at all, only a few slow runners were caught by us." Gongsun Du walked in with a puzzled look and reported to Zhang Hao.

"Did those families run away too?" Zhang Hao also frowned and asked.

"yes, and the things in the house haven't been moved, obviously in a hurry." Gongsun Du nodded and said.

"I don't know if Zilong can intercept these people."

"I feel a little difficult, they ran too fast, Zilong and they didn't go to the ambush in advance, it's likely that they would have left the city a long time ago." Gongsun Du shook his head and said.

"That's it, let's run, let people take over here, the army also rest, tomorrow we will go to Anshi County." Zhang Hao said with a wry smile.

"Yes, my lord." Gongsun Du agreed and withdrew.

After a while, Zhao Yun and the three of them also came back, as Gongsun Du said, they ran too fast, Zhao Yun and they couldn't keep all of them, and the part of the interception was estimated to be one-third.

After the city was under control, Guo Jia and Xun You followed those scribes into the city, and the two of them found Zhang Hao together with Gongsun Du.

"Lord, the big clans in the city have all run away, I'm afraid that the next few cities will not be easy to fight." Xun You said with a frown.

"I'm afraid there is a conspiracy here, it seems that they received the news before we attacked the city, otherwise it would not have been possible to run so fast." Guo Jia also frowned and said.

"But we didn't let anyone go when we were in the Liao team, how did they get the news?" Zhang Hao looked puzzled.

"So there is a conspiracy here, either there are high-ranking people who anticipate the enemy's opportunities and guess our actions, or someone is tipping off the news." Guo Jia said.

"There is no way that anyone among our people can tell the news, and those who know the plan in advance are people who can be trusted, and as for those soldiers, they don't know what our plan is." Zhang Hao said nervously.

Traitors have been the most hated since ancient times, and those who can sell useful information are the most trusted people around them, Zhang Hao doesn't want to doubt the people around him, and he also believes that these people will not do that kind of thing.

Now a group of people around Zhang Hao are all well-known loyal people in history, and it is impossible to do that kind of thing, and most of them have experienced a lot with Zhang Hao, which can be said to be friends of life and death.

"Could it be that someone has been watching our army, and it seems that they are leaving in a hurry, and even the soldiers don't know that they are leaving."

"If they had received the news a long time ago, it would have been impossible for them not to take the soldiers away, and they hadn't even cleaned up the softness, obviously they received the news temporarily."

"If someone were to spy on the army, it would be entirely possible to determine our target when we approached Xinchang and have time to relay information to the city." Xun You thought for a while and said.

"Who could it be?" When Zhang Hao heard Xun You's words, he frowned and thought about it.

"It's him" Suddenly, Zhang Hao patted his thigh and said.

"Who is it?"

"Gongsun Zhao, maybe he's been secretly following us." Zhang Hao said.

"It's possible that some of his subordinates are not much worse than mine." A voice came from the beam of the room, startling Guo Jiaxun.

"It's okay, my own people." Zhang Hao looked at Guo Jia and Xun You's expressions and said leisurely.

"But why does he want to oppose me so many times?" After Zhang Hao comforted Guo Jia and Xun You, he frowned and muttered to himself.

"My lord, maybe it's because of the Compound Surname Alliance." Gongsun Du next to him thought about it and said.

"Compound Alliance?" Zhang Hao looked at Gongsun Du with a puzzled face, Guo Jia and Xun You were also full of puzzlement, and even Tong Fei, who was always light-hearted, looked at Gongsun Du.

"I don't know the specifics, you know my origin, although I also have a compound surname, but my family is not a big family." Gongsun Du said with a red face.

"What's going on? Tell me what you know. Zhang Hao asked.

"I heard that as early as a few years ago, several large families with compound surnames secretly formed an alliance when they saw that there was a great chaos in the world, and agreed to wait until the world was in turmoil, scattered among various forces, seeking opportunities to plot trouble."

"Once successful, several families with compound surnames will take care of each other, unify China together, and establish a dynasty with compound surnames, and families with compound surnames will enjoy privileges, and single-surname families will become an oppressed class."

"Because the number of each compound surname is small and the power is relatively thin, the alliance also agreed that the new dynasty will not be ruled by a single family, but that all the compound surnames will send a representative to form a council of ministers, and at the same time, the council of ministers will elect one of them to be the emperor."

"During the reign of the emperor, his family will not be able to send representatives to join the Council of Ministers, and after the death of a generation of emperors, the Council of Ministers will immediately elect a new emperor to take over."

"I learned all this from my stepfather, but my stepfather's family doesn't have a high status in the alliance, so it can only be regarded as a peripheral member of the alliance, and I don't know much about it." Gongsun Du slowly told everything he knew.

"Brother Shengji, isn't this Gongsun Zhao of the same origin as you and your father-in-law?" Zhang Hao asked the doubts in his heart.

"Of course not, my father-in-law's family is a big family of the Lingzhi of Liaoxi, and that Gongsun Zhao belongs to the Gongsun family of Xiangping, Liaodong, and I, although I am also surnamed Gongsun, have nothing to do with these two families, just a commoner." Gongsun Du said with a smile.

"Liaoxi Lingzhi? Why did you go to Xuansu County to be a Taishou? Zhang Hao was shocked.

"Because of the relationship between the three mutual laws, my father-in-law can no longer be a taishou in Liaoxi, so he can only choose to be in Xuansu." Gongsun Du explained.

It is no wonder that after Gongsun Du established himself as the king of Liaodong, he would rather cross the sea to take Donglai Zhuxian in the north of the Jiaodong Peninsula, rather than take Liaoxi County and Youbeiping County along the land route of the "Liaoxi Corridor".

Moreover, Gongsun Chan fought hard and seized Youzhou for 20 years, but there was no conflict with Gongsun Du in Liaodong, and it was also because of Gongsun Zhan's buffer that Gongsun Du could live so nourishing in Liaodong.

Strictly speaking, Gongsun Chan is still Gongsun Du's uncle, Gongsun Chan is a native of Lingzhi in Liaoxi, because his mother's status is low, he can only be a small official.

And Gongsun Chan is qualified to be the shadow official of the Gongsun family and the lord of the lord, so to speak, Gongsun Chan and Gongsun Chan are half-brothers, and Gongsun Du is the righteous son of Gongsun Chan, so he naturally has to call Gongsun Chan uncle.
