Gao Yi originally agreed with Jia Xu to go to the Xiongnu, but learned that Zhang Ji died unexpectedly in Yanmen, Jia Xu changed his mind and went with Zhang Xiu to collect Zhang Ji's people, and at the same time, Gao Yi also learned from Qubei the fact that Cai Yan was doing well with Liu Bao, so he dismissed the preparation of going north to the Xiongnu.

And what really made Gao Yi decide not to go was the news from Qingzhou, Gongsun Du united Goguryeo and the Wa Kingdom to invade the coast of Qingzhou, Yuan Shao had already known the news, but instead fished in troubled waters, and ordered his eldest son Yuan Tan to lead troops to Qingzhou to prepare for a piece of the pie.

However, what Yuan Shao didn't expect was that Gao Yi had already secretly contacted Yuan Tan, with the feelings of his cousins, and Gao Yi's promise to support Yuan Tan to become Yuan Shao's heir, Yuan Tan concealed from Yuan Shao and promised to help Gao Yi eliminate all the people and horses that Gongsun Du had come to attack.

There was no suspense in this battle, and before Liu Yi had time to taste the fruits of victory, he was killed by Yuan Tan's men and horses, and only a few soldiers escaped by boat.

Gao Yi and Yin Feng Tai Shi Ci Lu Meng and others stayed in Donglai, and after many inquiries found out where Xu Sheng and Tai Shi Ci and Lu Meng's mother were, the three of them were almost dying, Gao Yi immediately ordered someone to secretly place them to recuperate, and was ready to discuss with Yin Feng and others how to teach Gongsun Du a lesson, but the plan was interrupted by the news of Liu Miao's death from the south.

As soon as Liu Miao died, the situation in Yangzhou was bound to undergo subtle changes, after weighing the pros and cons, Gao Yi went south to Yangzhou with everyone, and before leaving, Gao Yi did not forget to meet with Yuan Tan secretly, naturally hoping that Yuan Tan would not be untrustworthy.

Of course, Gao Yi will not let Gongsun Du go in vain, he personally wrote a letter to Guan Ning in Liaodong, and the signature was Guan Hai, asking Guan Ning to personally tell the defeat of Gongsun Du's expeditionary force here in Qingzhou, and Gongsun Du would be half angry if he knew that he would not die.

A month later, everyone rushed to Qu'a, and Sun Ce, Zhou Yu and others had already waited outside the city with the orchestra and others.

When everyone saw each other, it was a long time of busy work, Gao Yi said to Sun Ce with emotion: "This Liu Miao is also a character, I didn't expect to die young in my thirties!" ”

Zhou Yu said on the side: "Uncle Gao doesn't have to be sad for this kind of pedantic person, let's think about the realistic situation, Liu Biao has coveted Yangzhou for a long time, and once Liu Miao dies, he will definitely not let go of this opportunity!" ”

Sun Ce also nodded and said: "Yes, if Liu Biao is allowed to occupy Yuzhang, although we and Liu Miao have been at war with each other, but in fact, we still can't let go of Liu Biao's revenge for killing my father, if such a character succeeds, we will be trapped in Wujun Huiji and unable to develop, and second, my father's revenge will be difficult to avenge!" ”

"Well, this is indeed a problem, so I put aside all the big things and came here in person!" Saying that, Gao Yi turned to look at Lu Meng behind him, "In this situation, we must take down Yuzhang as soon as possible, Lu Meng, haven't you always wanted to make meritorious contributions?" This time, you will lead your troops to pacify, so that you are not afraid that Liu Biao will strategically encircle us! ”

Lu Meng was originally in a bad mood because of his mother's affairs, but when he heard that there was a battle to fight, he naturally became interested: "No! ”

Yin Feng looked at Gao Yi with a smile on the side, sighing in his heart that he was a little redundant.

Unexpectedly, Gao Yi turned around and respectfully saluted Yin Feng: "What does the princess think of this arrangement?" ”

"Well, it's outstanding!"

Liaodong, Xiangping Chamber.

Gongsun Du was watching the good news from Qingzhou from Qingzhou, he was originally from Xiangping, Liaodong, and then followed his father to Xuansu, and was appreciated by Xuansu, who was too protective of Gongsun Chen, and helped him learn from him and marry a wife. Jianning was appointed as Shang Shulang for three years, and later served as the assassin of Jizhou, with a prominent position, but he was rumored to be removed from his post again.

It wasn't until Dong Zhuo became the leader that Xu Rong, who was in the same county as him, recommended him as the Taishou of Liaodong that he was able to make a comeback. Upon his arrival, Gongsun Du immediately eliminated dissidents from the county and established his prestige, and then sent troops to attack Goguryeo. At this time, Goguryeo was under the reign of the new king Baego, who had fought against the Han army many times in the past few decades, conquering the Goguryeo counties on the Han border. At this time, he was subdued and served Gongsun Du, so the new king of Goguryeo, who succeeded him, sent Dajia Youju and the chief bookkeeper to assist Gongsun Du in the second year, and together they exterminated the Fushan bandits.

At this time, Gongsun Du's ambition swelled, and he established himself as the Marquis of Liaodong and the pastor of Pingzhou, and openly acted independently of Middle Earth. After that, Gongsun Du followed the advice of his generals and sent Liu Yi to cross the sea to plunder Donglai County in Qingzhou, and he had a bad record before.

At this moment, Gongsun Du's first general, Yang Yi, said: "Lord, are we doing this well?" We have just gained a foothold in Liaodong, but we rashly used troops against Qingzhou, if we arouse the resentment of the people of the Central Plains, how can we be good? ”

Gongsun Du was happy at this time, where could he listen to Yang Yi's opinion, he just didn't care: "What are you afraid of?" The Central Plains is now scattered, even if it is resentment, what can it do to us? ”

"That's not what I said, my lord! The so-called one who wins the hearts of the people wins the world, I heard the soldiers say that our Liaodong soldiers and horses burned and looted in Donglai and other places together with the Japanese and Goryeo soldiers this time, killing people and stealing goods, how is it different from robbers? Yang Yi said with some anger.

Gongsun Du was unhappy: "Do you think I was wrong this time?" ”

Yang Yi immediately knelt on the ground: "My subordinates don't dare!" ”

"It's good if you don't dare!" Gongsun Du stood up and walked in front of Yang Yi and said meaningfully, "I thought you wanted to try the taste of Liaodong Hou?" Think about it, those princes in the Central Plains fought in a melee, and that time it wasn't the death and injury of thousands of people? How many did I kill this time? It's not even five thousand, right? Why do I have to bear the reputation of robbers when I kill people, and Gao Yi, Cao Cao, and Yuan Shao, they have to kill people with the reputation of the king's teacher? Is this fair? If I become an emperor in the future, the historians will only write in the history books that I am in Qingzhou to fight against thieves, understand? ”

"It is true that there is nothing wrong with success and defeat, and history is the history of the successful, but can the grass people show that the public is laughing at fifty steps and laughing at a hundred steps?" A deep voice came from afar, making Gongsun Du's brows furrow.

But soon Gongsun Du's face turned into a flower with a smile, and he walked quickly to the middle-aged man in white who appeared at the door of the council hall, and said again and again: "Hey, what kind of wind is this that blew Daxian Guan Ning here?" Hurry up inside please, serve tea! ”

The person who came was Guan Ning, who was living in seclusion in Liaodong to avoid chaos, he looked at Gongsun Du's face and only responded lightly, then slowly walked into the conference hall, and said: "I heard that Ming Gong won a great victory in Qingzhou, and the grass people were envious, so I came to congratulate him!" ”

"Don't dare to be!" When Gongsun Du heard Guan Ning say the word Qingzhou, he paused in his heart, this time he sacked Qingzhou, Guan Ning's hometown Beihai was naturally included, but he would not tell Guan Ning about his disgraceful affair with Yuan Shao.

Thinking of this, Gongsun Du said to Guan Ning: "Sir, don't listen to outsiders' nonsense, this time I knew that the Japanese and the Goryeo soldiers were going to sack Qingzhou, so I sent my subordinate Liu Yi to suppress it, but unfortunately Mr.'s hometown was brutalized, I am really ashamed of Mr." Saying that, Gongsun Du gestured to Yangyi again and again.

Yangyi saw Gongsun Du's eyes, although he was embarrassed in his heart, he still said to Guan Ning: "Yes, the lord does have the heart to save the people of Qingzhou from fire and water, I heard that now Gao Yi, Liu Bei, Yuan Yao, Lu Bu, Cao Cao, and Yuan Shao have become stalemate in the Central Plains, Hebei, Huainan, and no one can free up their hands to meddle in the affairs of Qingzhou, so they ......"

"So Ming Gong wants to take the opportunity to take Qingzhou into his hands?" Guan Ning said in a strange tone, "Do you even not hesitate to let most of your soldiers die in the storm at sea?" ”

"Huh!" Gongsun Du was speechless, what Guan Ning said was indeed the truth, this time he sent a fleet to Qingzhou with 15,000 people, but according to Liu Yi's report, 8,000 people died in the storm at sea and were buried forever in the belly of the fish at the bottom of the sea, which is embarrassing.

Yang Yi said: "How can there be immortals in war? Fortunately, now that General Liu Yi has stabilized the situation in Qingzhou, I believe that he will be able to bring more good news to the lord soon, right? ”

Guan Ning said: "The grass people are just a cloth cloth, they don't participate in these military affairs, and the grass people also understand the truth that they will succeed and the bones are withered, and the grass people came this time just to ask the Ming Gong for their lives, and make a register of the thousands of people living with the grass people in the southern valley of Xiangping City, and don't call them homeless people anymore!" ”

Gongsun Du smiled: "This is a good thing!" Since it is a request from Mr., I will definitely not refuse, I have already suggested a building for Mr. in the city, and as long as Mr. wants, he can come to work at any time! ”

Guan Ning thanked him and said: "Thank you Ming Gong for your kindness, it's just that the grass people have always been idle, and I feel that I am satisfied with educating the people in the valley!" ”

Gongsun Du was a little disappointed and said: "It seems that I am not the master in the mind of Mr.!" What a pity! ”

At this time, a soldier came to the council hall and said to Gongsun Du: "Lord! Seeing that Guan Ning was there, he stopped talking.

Guan Ning understood and said to Gongsun Du: "The grass people have something to say goodbye, and I hope that Ming Gong will not break his word!" ”

"Hurry up!" Gongsun ordered Yangyi to send Guan Ning, and when he saw that he was far away, he asked this little soldier, "What's the matter, tell me quickly!" ”

"Lord, something is wrong! Yuan Tan did not abide by the previous agreement with us, and actually led the army to attack General Liu Yi, General Liu Yi was caught off guard and had already led the army to retreat to the Jiaodong area! Yuan Tan took the opportunity to occupy most of Qingzhou! The little soldier said hurriedly.

"What?" Gongsun Du was shocked, only to feel that a mouthful of phlegm was blocked in his throat, and when Xiaobing saw this, he gave Gongsun Du a smooth breath again and again, and only then did he help Gongsun Du spit out this phlegm.

"Lord, are you alright?" The little soldier asked worriedly.

"When did this happen?" As soon as Gongsun Du regained his strength, he grabbed Xiao Bing's collar and asked.

The little soldier was almost suffocated by Gongsun Du: "It's the day after General Liu Yi sent good news to the lord!" ”

"Damn!" Gongsun Du said angrily, "Yuan Shao, you villain who has gone back on your word, okay, you cross the river and tear down the bridge, right?" I will join Cao Cao to destroy you first!" ”

Xiao Bing snorted: "But my lord, it seems that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are allies now, right?" ”

"Poof!" Gongsun Du spit out a mouthful of blood, stained red on the brocade book to appoint Liu Yi as the assassin of Yingzhou.

As soon as Guan Ning left the city, he was stopped by a person: "You are Mr. Guan Ning, there is a person named Guan Hai who asked me to bring you a letter!" ”
