Chapter 137: I Can't Take It
In the Han Dynasty, Liaokou was already an important port for the local people to go to sea for fishing. It's not like it was in later generations, but it's still a town. There were many ships, and Gongsun continued to cross the sea along the Liaodong Peninsula to the south is Qingzhou Donglai County, that is, the later Shandong Yantai, Weihai and other places.
Zhao Yun Wei Yan rushed to Xiangping the next morning, at this time Gongsun Xu had already run away at night, but only Tian Kai knew where Gongsun Xu ran, Zhao Yun saw that the city gate was closed, and there were many soldiers on the city wall, Zhao Yun stood under the city and shouted, who is guarding this city?
The soldiers on the walls were so timid that no one dared to speak. At this time, Tian Kai walked to the city wall and said: Will it be Changshan Zhao Zilong?
Zhao Yundao: It is Zhao Yun. Who are you?
Tian Kaidao: I have long heard that Zhang Jie's subordinate Zhao Zilong has the courage of ten thousand people. Today, I saw each other's talents. In Shimoda Kai, it is a small official of Xiangping, and now he is added as a Xiangping guard. I don't know what General Zhao led his troops here?
Zhao Yundao: Gongsun Zhan was defeated and captured, and the army was wiped out, I don't know if General Tian can receive the news?
Tian Kaidao: What if you receive it, and what if you receive it at the end? When Zhao Yun heard this, he knew that Tian Kai had already knew.
Zhao Yundao: Gongsun Zhan's general trend is gone, and General Tian Kai doesn't have to let the soldiers make senseless sacrifices. Please surrender General Tian, my lord will not be embarrassed for you?
Tian Kaidao: It's not that I believe General Zhao, if I surrender, I will be a fish and a meat, and you will be a sword.
General Zhao, can you please withdraw for the time being, and ask Zhang Zhoumu to come to Xiangping and surrender when he sees Zhang Zhoumu?
Zhao Yundao: I can't hide it, my lord is not in Liaodong. I went to Wuhuan a long time ago. Tian Kai secretly said No wonder Gongsun Zan was scheming, he didn't even know where Zhang Jie was going to attack the city, it was really confused.
Tian Kaidao: Who is in charge of the Liao team in the city?
Zhao Yundao: It is the military division of the Northern General's Mansion, frustrated and conferred, Jia Xu.
Tian Kaidao: Then how about I want to meet these two military advisors?
If General Zhao wants to avoid death or injury in the siege, please go back and tell Fu Gonghe. Three days later, he was invited to come to Xiangping in person to receive the city. A certain will surrender openly. Please rest assured that General Zhao will always do what he says and will never break his word.
Wei Yan said to Zhao Yun: It seems that Tian Kai wants to delay for three days, so as to cover Gongsun Xu's escape. We should be late. Gongsun Xu may have run away.
Zhao Yundao: I don't know when Gongsun Xu ran, maybe last night, maybe this morning. Maybe it's still in town. But we don't know where he went. How to chase?
Wei Yandao: I guess he either fled to Goguryeo, Samhan, or Qingju.
Zhao Yundao: There is no point in guessing without accurate intelligence, now Gongsun Chan has been defeated, and Gongsun Xu is only fleeing for his life even if he runs away, and it is no longer enough to threaten. Don't worry too much. Let's report the situation here to the military advisor. Now that Tian Kai has surrendered, it is really unwise for us to attack the city again.
Zhao Yundao: Come here, retreat and camp in Wuli. Said to a pro-soldier: The two of you go to Liao Team City. Tell the advisor about the situation. Let the military advisor come to Xiangping. Promise!
Zhao Yun's personal soldiers quickly sent the news to the Liao team city.
Frustrated, after Jia Xu listened. Jia Xu said: Gongsun Xu may have run away. Tian Kai is just trying to buy three days. This person knows the current affairs, but he also knows how to repay the old master. He should be an upright person. I heard that he was the only one in Gongsun Zhan's army who opposed the United Wuhuan. It shows that this person understands the general righteousness of the nation. It's better to sell his personal favor, and after three days, this side will be almost cleaned up. After all, the Liao team is not Junye, let's go to Xiangping in three days. Gongsun continued to escape, so he fled. Without Gongsun Zhan, what threat can he become?
Now it is time to send troops to receive the four counties of the Han Dynasty, Lelang County, Xuansu County, Zhenfan County, and Lintun County. These places are vast and sparsely populated, but he is my Han land. We can't afford to lose it.
Frustrated: But if you want to take these places, it's better to go a few days later. The news of Gongsun Zhan's defeat has not yet reached all places. After a few days, when everyone knows that Gongsun Chan is finished, it will be much easier for us to receive it again.
Jia Xu smiled and said: It's best to take Gongsun Yue with him, he is different from Gongsun Zhan, he surrendered on his own initiative, and the lord won't kill him, but he has to do something for us, right? Why don't you keep him?
Three days later, Jia Xu led the army to Yexiangping, Liaodong County.
After arriving at the city, the officers and soldiers defending the city directly opened the city gate. Didn't say a word. Let the Jizhou army enter the city, but Tian Kai was never seen.
Frustrated and said to a soldier defending the city: What about your General Tian Kai? The soldier said: General Tian has been in his own house all the time, he told us yesterday, and today as soon as you arrive, he will open the door and surrender. Frustrated gave a wave of his hand. The soldier stepped back.
Frustrated and said to Jia Xu: It seems that our face is not enough, please don't move Tian Kai. Jia Xu said: Everyone has their own ambitions, and they can't be forced. I hope the lord will come sooner.
And the two personal soldiers sent by Zhang Jie hurriedly rushed to Liao Team City. But as soon as I heard the soldiers defending the city say that the large army is now in Xiangping, Gongsun Chan was also captured. The two of them rushed to Xiangping again, and when they arrived in Xiangping, they saw Fu Zhu and realized that they had just arrived. It's good that I know these two people, otherwise I might not believe them.
A pro-soldier said: The lord destroyed Wuhuan Liucheng, and Wuhuan Shan Yulouban was also captured alive by us. But too much booty, plus women, marched too slowly in retreat. After the lord returned to Youbeiping, he took us to ambush the main Wuhuan cavalry that had withdrawn from Bunton, but before he arrived at the ambush site, the Wuhuan army came. Fortunately, the scouts found it in time, and the lord led us to avoid the Wuhuan army.
The lord said that he would not come to Liaodong for the time being, and that two military advisors would preside over the war on the Liaodong side. If Gongsun Chan is defeated, if the situation allows, he can send some troops to Youzhou and other places to protect Youzhou, Wuhuan suffered a big loss this time, and he was afraid that they would seek revenge from the people.
Jia Xu said: Where is the current lord? How many troops are there left?
The pro-soldier said: The lord is now going to Wuhuan again, he said that if he wants to ambush Wuhuan, he can only go to Wuhuan's territory, so that Wuhuan will not be guarded. Now there are about 13,000 people around him. Originally, there were only more than 11,000 people, but after transferring 2,000 crossbowmen in Youbeiping, they originally planned to ambush Wuhuan, but unfortunately they were late.
Frustrated: You two are fortunate, go down to eat and rest first, and I will send someone to call you later. Promise!
Frustrated and said to Jia Xu: It is too dangerous for the lord to go to Wuhuan again, Wuhuan still has tens of thousands of troops, we have now that Liaodong has been pacified, the four counties of Han should also be able to pass on the decision. The remnants of Gongsun Chan are not to be feared. It seems that the two of us are going to be separated temporarily, or I will take the troops back to Youzhou and your brother will deal with political affairs in Liaodong?
Jia Xu said: Don't! Other! Other! You know, you don't handle these political affairs well. Let's take the troops back to Youzhou! Besides, I really can't stand the climate in Liaodong.
