Chapter 163: Gongsun Du (Third Update)
(Strongly ask for recommendation, collection, reward, brothers support and support!!) )
Liaodong County, Xiangping
There are a total of 12 counties in Youzhou, Liu Tai leads seven counties, and there are four counties under the rule of Gongsun Du, namely Liaodong County, Xuansu County, Lelang County, and Daifang County.
Liaodong subject country curbed the passage into Liaodong, on the map, the former white horse general Gongsun Zhan, has now become Gongsun Du's watchdog, Liu Tai wants to enter Liaodong, must first defeat Gongsun Zhan, who has 50,000 elites, and Gongsun Du can sit in the rear and enjoy its success.
Gongsun Du is thirty-one years old this year, with the family's financial resources, stationed in Liaodong for many years, under the management of the Gongsun family for many years, Liaodong has been impregnable, and Gongsun Du happens to be the head of the Gongsun family of this generation, originally Gongsun Zan and Gongsun Du also have a kinship relationship, but do not accept Gongsun Du, read outside, do not think, and finally return to the clan, ask for the protection of Gongsun Du.
Gongsun Du, who has just turned 30, is very ambitious, Liaodong is located in the northeast, far away from the political rights of the Han Dynasty, it can be said that it is a country of its own, and there are four sides of Dongyi as a reason, continuous small-scale conquests, good news is frequently conveyed to the imperial court, so that the imperial court continues to reward Gongsun Du, resulting in Gongsun Du in just a few years, controlled the four counties of Liaodong, originally Liaodong subject country is also considered Gongsun Du's sphere of influence, but was taken away by Gongsun Zhan, Gongsun Du had to use the power of the clan, ordered Gongsun Zan to be loyal to Gongsun Du in the name of guarding the frontier.
There are more than 200,000 soldiers in the four counties of Liaodong, which is not counting the soldiers and horses of the subject countries of Liaodong, which can raise more than 200,000 soldiers and horses, which shows how strong the foundation of the four counties of Liaodong is, and Liaodong is rich in land and resources, although the population is not as good as that of the Central Plains, but there are also hundreds of thousands of households, which are distributed in all parts of the four counties, which is equivalent to nearly 1.5 million people under the rule of Gongsun Du.
200,000 soldiers and horses are just one out of seven, which is not a great burden for the Gongsun family, if it weren't for Liu Tai's targeting of Liaodong in the past, hyping up morality and politics, resulting in countless losses of the people of Liaodong, I am afraid that three or four hundred thousand soldiers and horses can be recruited.
Moreover, over the years, because of the vigorous development under the rule of Liu Tai in northern Xinjiang, the production of the four counties of Liaodong has been driven together, resulting in countless merchants in the four counties of Liaodong now, and a lot of financial balances, and Xiangping City is becoming more and more prosperous, and there are countless traffic in the city.
But at this time, Xiangping City, the atmosphere is a little weird, thousands of heavy soldiers guarded the main road at the Taishou Mansion, and all the generals who were sent to the four counties to garrison were transferred back to Xiangping, and those big merchants were even stopped at home, and there were even rumors that the passes into the subject countries of Liaodong have been closed, and no merchants and people are allowed to enter or leave the four counties of Liaodong.
Xiangping County Government
The county government is located in the south city of Xiangping, built extremely luxurious, and covers an area of nearly a quarter of the entire Xiangping city, which can accommodate at least tens of thousands of people, pavilions and pavilions, fish pond flower beds can be seen everywhere, in the county guard's mansion, the young and beautiful maids are innumerable, one by one dressed in silk and satin, dressed up in flowers and branches, walking in the county government, from time to time to the county guard guards threw a wink, suddenly moving.
In the hall of the county capital, dozens of Liaodong generals and several ministers of Gongsun Du, plus a group of local officials with outstanding political achievements, sat in the hall of the county capital.
And at the top of the lobby, there is a big man with a national character face, thick eyebrows, wearing battle armor, tiger back and bear waist, not angry and arrogant, the big man has a double knife on his waist, his hands are intersected, sitting on the Taishi chair, his eyebrows are deeply wrinkled, his eyes are blurred, what is he thinking, take a closer look, isn't this the uncrowned king of Liaodong Gongsun Du, who sits on the four counties of Liaodong and holds 200,000 male soldiers?
"Is the lord worried about Liu Taibing's departure from the Zhangwu grassland in northern Xinjiang?" A young man with sharp-beaked monkey cheeks, dressed in a green robe, but with extremely sharp eyes, stepped forward and said to Gongsun Du. This person is a close confidant of Gongsun Du, and was appointed by Gongsun Du as the county of Liaodong County, and has a very high prestige in the four counties of Liaodong, and his status is second only to Gongsun Du, and his surname is Liu Mingyi Gongkang.
"It's Gongkang" Gongsun Du nodded helplessly and said: "Gongkang, tell me, how to deal with the Northern Frontier's crusade against Wuheng?" ”
"Dare to ask the lord, why do I have to deal with Liaodong?" Liu Yi asked out loud with a smile on his face, and the feeling that was full of his chest, as if Liu Tai's army was not worth mentioning.
"Oh?" Gongsun Du's brows furrowed deeply, and he asked suspiciously: "Gongkang, Ben Taishou is the captain of Wuheng, and now that Wuheng is about to be destroyed, if Ben Taishou doesn't help, it really can't be said." ”
"The last general thinks that the lord's words are very true, Liu Tai is a thing, a butcher, just a little merit made by virtue of good luck, in the eyes of the last general, this time I must not fall into the prestige of my Liaodong, seeing that Wuheng was destroyed by Liu Tai's thieves, the lord should send troops to stop Liu Tai from advancing eastward, and even do not hesitate to fight with Liu Tai on the battlefield!" Without waiting for Liu Yi to answer, a majestic man stepped forward and said with an extremely arrogant expression, this man is more than seven feet tall, with many scars on his face, a big steel knife in his waist, his eyes are blazing, his face is not angry and arrogant, just looking at his face, you can see that this person is definitely a battlefield general.
This person's surname is Yang Mingyi Xuancheng, he is the lieutenant of Liaodong County, in charge of nearly 200,000 soldiers and horses in the four counties of Liaodong, his status is the same as Liu Yi, and he is Gongsun Du's right-hand man.
"Xuancheng, Liu Tainai is my Han general, Shenhou, and don't talk nonsense!" Gongsun Du said with a little dissatisfaction, although Liu Tai embarrassed Liaodong many times, and even wanted to empty himself, Gongsun Du still admired Liu Tai very much, and even had a trace of admiration.
In Gongsun Du's view, in just a few years, he can govern the barren Youzhou and Merge Prefecture into the country of abundance like today, how can ordinary people do it? Gongsun Du thinks that he will never be able to do it, and the reason why the four counties of Liaodong are now rich and strong is also thanks to Liaodong's proximity to Youzhou, which will be so prosperous under the influence of Youzhou's economic tide.
"Yes, my lord, the last general has lost his word." Seeing that Gongsun Du's face was pale, Yang Yi looked stunned, and lowered his head to admit his mistake. Although Yangyi has a lot of military power in Liaodong, he definitely does not dare to oppose Gongsun Du, because Yangyi knows very well that although he nominally holds 200,000 male soldiers in Liaodong, most of the soldiers in the army are Gongsun Du's cronies, and if Yangyi shows a little antipathy, he will definitely die without a place to be buried!
"Gongkang, you can continue to talk about it." Seeing that Yang Yi had a good attitude of admitting his mistakes, a satisfied smile flashed on Gongsun Du's face, nodded slightly, looked at Liu Yi and said.
Although Liu Yi and Yangyi have the same status, they are not compatible, in the eyes of Yangyi, the most despised is Liu Yi, a literati who sells literature and ink, as the saying goes, once the battle is defeated, the fastest ones are those sour Confucians, only soldiers, only warriors can be recognized by Yangyi, so the two often comment on each other in private, and the noisy Xiangping City is full of wind and rain.
