After half a year of absence, he finally returned to Liaodong in the black soil of Baishan, and Gongsun Kang felt a lot of emotion.

In Xuansu County, everyone gathered. Those who have arrived in Xuanfu County are: Tian Chou, Xu Miao, Sun Li, Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, Tai Shici, Zhao Yun, and Cai Yong.

And when the people get together, they talk and talk, and they are happy.

Gongsun Kang led them to see the cottage. Seeing such a large war savings. Everyone was amazed. At this time, the population of Shanzhai exceeded 10,000 people, and it had reached a bottleneck, and it must be made public and formalized in order to further develop.

Within a few days, the news of the death of Emperor Ling of Han, the killing of the general He Jin, and the entry of Dong Zhuo, the Taishou of Hedong, into Beijing came one after another.

And a month later, Gongsun Du was appointed as the Taishou of the three counties of Liaodong County, Xuansu County, and Lelang County.

Originally, in history, Gongsun Du was only appointed as the Taishou of Liaodong County, Xuansu County, and Lelang County. Now after communicating with Xu Rong in advance, after Xu Rong made a statement to Dong Zhuo, he was directly appointed as the Taishou of the Three Counties.

It can be said that Gongsun Du waited for more than ten years before waiting for Dong Xiangguo's letter of appointment. However, because Gongsun Du was born in Xuansu, the big surnames and local officials in Liaodong did not take him seriously.

As soon as Gongsun Du took office, many people gathered to comment that Gongsun Du was born as a small official, his status was humble, and he disobeyed many of the decrees issued by Gongsun Du.

The seat of Liaodong County was in Xiangping County (now Liaoyang, Liaoning), and Gongsun Zhao, the county commander of Xiangping County, wanted to give the new Taishou a dismissal, so he recruited Gongsun Kang to serve as a small military commander, in order to humiliate Gongsun Du.

Gongsun Zhao did not expect that as soon as Gongsun Du took office, he ordered the arrest of Gongsun Zhao, a public trial in the Xiangpin County Market, and beat him to death with a board in Xiangping City on the spot.

Then, Gongsun Du killed Tian Shao, a famous man in Liaodong. In fact, although Tian Shao was also rampant and domineering in Liaodong, he had no obvious bad deeds.

Gongsun Du did not stop, and in a few months, Gongsun Du wiped out all the hundreds of wealthy families in Liaodong County and killed thousands of people. On the surface, Gongsun Du said that these people were plotting to rebel and confront the imperial court, but everyone understood that Gongsun Taishou wanted to use this to establish his authority, and whoever dared to resist Gongsun Du would be a dead end.

Gongsun Du's purpose is indeed to establish his authority and make Liaodong Haoqiang fearful. But after he killed all the wealthy families in Liaodong, he brought two benefits.

The first is to ensure the stable rule of the Gongsun family in Liaodong for the next fifty years.

Second, it recovered a large amount of land annexed by the powerful family, freed countless freemen, and increased the taxpayer population.

As a result, the officials and people of the county trembled with fear when they heard the name of Gongsun Du, and since then, no one in Liaodong dared to oppose Gongsun Du, and Gongsun Du was able to run his own small kingdom freely.

During this period, Tai Shici, Zhao Yun, and Liu Yi helped a lot. Many of the mighty dock forts were captured by the three of them with their troops.

After stabilizing the political situation, Gongsun Du began to win the hearts of the people. Although it is said that "those who win the hearts of the people win the world", the people have always been foolish and foolish.

Soon after, the common people suddenly saw a large stone slowly rising from the dirt at the shrine in Yanli, Xiangping. The common people were shocked and didn't know what was going on. Soon after, thousands of people flocked to the shrine to watch. Seeing the boulder rise automatically, the people all fell to the ground, thinking that it was a manifestation from heaven. Some people say that this sacred stone is a sacred stone in the period of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty. And the place where the sacred stone appears is the same as the name of our Taishou Gongsun Lord's father (Gongsun Yan), which must tell everyone that Gongsun Taishou will be the third prince and have Liaodong for generations.

The people looked at the boulder that automatically rose in front of them, and in addition to being shocked or shocked, there would be a trace of suspicion. Tens of thousands of people knelt on the ground and shouted Gongsun "When there is land, the three princes are supplemented!" ”

Obviously, this is a little trick written and directed by Gongsun Du, artificially created auspicious. There is an underground passage under the boulder. Just fill the passage with sun-dried soybeans, put a boulder prepared in advance, and pave the ground with fine sand. As long as someone is sent to pour water into the passage, the water soaks the soybeans, and the soybeans swell, which naturally produces a huge force, enough to push the boulder through the ground.

As a result, Gongsun Du easily had the so-called popular heart. The common people were already afraid of Gongsun Taishou, and when they saw the omen of the divine stone, they believed that Gongsun Du was the lord of Liaodong.
