Chapter 267: Gongsun Kang's attitude has changed greatly
Xiangping City, the mansion.
There was a young man waiting outside the mansion, his appearance was somewhat similar to Gongsun Kang, but his eyes were very narrow and long, and there were often cold flashes in them, and he looked like a cool villain.
This is Gongsun Kang's second son, Gongsun Yuan.
"Why should a father be so courteous to a lord minister?" After Gongsun Kang came out, Gongsun Yuan stepped forward and complained.
There was some confusion and dissatisfaction on his face.
In Gongsun Yuan's view, it is really unwise for Gongsun Kang to ignore many major affairs in Liaodong, but to be with Iraq.
Gongsun Yuan is a person without virtue, Gongsun Kang has always disliked him, and this time he brought him to let him pay a look at the Fengyi of Jingchu celebrities.
Unexpectedly, Gongsun Yuan thought that Corporal Kang Lixian was a waste of time to recruit Iraqis.
Gongsun Kang was displeased, and reprimanded: "What do you know, Liaodong is a border, the literary style is not prosperous, and the officials under the account are all small talents. ”
"But he's a lord of the lord." Gongsun Yuan retorted when he heard this.
"Cao Ren went south to conquer Jiangxia, and Liu Feng's demise was not far away. Even if Yi is now a minister with a master, after a while, he will become an ownerless and lonely soul. Gongsun Kang sneered when he heard this.
"In that case, why didn't my father kill the Yi and embezzle his belongings?" Hearing this, a greedy light appeared in Gongsun Yuan's eyes, and said.
"Possessions? Do you mean that the 30,000 stone of grain that the Yi claimed to be 3,000 gold? Gongsun Kang couldn't help laughing and said, "The wind and waves on the sea are too big, whether this grain can be delivered is still a matter of words." ”
"Besides, in my father's opinion, that Yi nationality is much more important than a mere 30,000 stone of grain." After a pause, Gongsun Kang said again.
However, although Gongsun Kang taught him step by step, Gongsun Yuan still looked disapproving. Gongsun Kang couldn't help but shake his head when he saw this, and he had the idea of handing over the position of Liaodong Taishou to his younger brother Gongsun Gong.
Although the two are different, they are also different. But the vision is still basically the same, thinking that Jiangxia will definitely perish under Cao Ren's attack.
After stopping outside the mansion for a while, Gongsun Kang got into the carriage, and Gongsun Yuan at least, the two returned to the Taishou Mansion surrounded by guards.
In front of the Taishou Mansion, a man with a somewhat similar face to Gongsun Kang, but who looked weak, was waiting, looking anxious.
This man is Gongsun Kang's younger brother Gongsun Gong.
Suddenly, Gongsun Gong saw Gongsun Yuan's carriage coming this way, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly greeted him.
"Big brother. Jing Chu sent an urgent report, saying that Liu Feng had broken Cao Ren and rushed thousands of miles to attack Wancheng. As he walked, Gongsun Gong said loudly.
When he spoke, Gongsun Gong's face was no longer anxious, but more excited. That's right, it's excitement.
Cao Ying's strength is tantamount to a big stone pressed on his chest for the Liaodong Gongsun clan. can crush the Gongsun clan at any time, and now someone can defeat Cao Ren and slap Cao Ying.
How could Gongsun Gong not be excited?
"What?" Because of his surprise, Gongsun Kang suddenly stood up in the carriage and screamed in shock.
How could Gongsun Kang not be surprised, he made thousands of calculations, thought about it, and thought that Liu Feng couldn't beat Cao Ren, either he failed, or completely retreated to the south of the Yangtze River.
I just didn't expect Cao Ren to fail.
Twenty-five thousand elite troops, how many troops does Liu Feng have? It doesn't add up to 20,000, and it has to hold several counties, and the number of troops that can be dispatched is less than 10,000.
And most of them are miscellaneous armies, and they can actually defeat Cao Ren? A famous general who has been famous for a long time, led by an elite army.
Gongsun Kang never thought that such a thing would happen.
"What?" Gongsun Yuan was just as surprised, and even more so than his father. In a panic, the hands that pulled the reins of the horse were too hard, and the war horse was frightened.
People stand up.
"Boom." With a bang, Gongsun Yuan's whole person was thrown to the ground, and he was full of meat and vegetables.
"Second son, second son, are you okay?" The guards exclaimed one after another, got off their horses, and helped Gongsun Yuan up.
Father and son, one brazenly stood up in the carriage, and the other fell to the ground. attracted the eyes of passers-by.
Although the fall hurt a lot, it didn't really matter. Gongsun Yuan quickly broke free from the guards he was holding and came to Gongsun Kang's carriage. He asked in a low voice, "Father, what shall we do now?" ”
There was no panic, but there was too much uncertainty.
Liu Feng defeated Cao Ren and became stronger. This actually doesn't have a big impact on the Gongsun clan, after all, it doesn't directly border.
But the subtleties in it affect the big picture.
Just now, Gongsun Yuan still had the courage to loot Liu Feng's grain, gold and silver, so now he won't even let out a fart.
"Go back." Gongsun Kang's eyes flashed, he said, and then slowly sat down.
Gongsun Yuan understood what Gongsun Kang meant, and there should have been no need to negotiate, but now it is necessary to negotiate. Liu Feng has already shown his strength.
A force that no one in the world can ignore.
Just when Gongsun Kang's carriage turned around, intending to return to the mansion where Yi was located. Gongsun Gong suddenly remembered something, stepped forward, and said in a low voice: "Big brother, there is also news from officials that there is a person who claims to be a military marquis under Liu Feng's account, and he led thirty big ships to Xiping. ”
Xiping is located in the southernmost part of the Liaodong Peninsula, and it is a large ferry port from which Gongsun Du sent an army to attack Qingzhou.
"It's really here, is this providence?" Gongsun Kang's body shook, a little incredulous.
With the seafaring technology of this era, from south to north, or from north to south. It is necessary to go through unimaginable difficulties to reach the destination.
And Liu Feng sent an army over for the first time, and he actually arrived. This can only be said to be providential.
Moreover, with the first there will be a second. Because the sailing experience will grow. The function of the ship is secondary, and the most important thing is the sailing experience.
If Jiangxia can really supply grain, sufficient grain, gold. He then gave back with war horses, slaves. It's a mutual benefit.
What a spectacle.
Gongsun Kang's heart was pounding.
Immediately, Gongsun Kang immediately waved Gongsun Gong away, ordered the carriage to start, and went to the Yi mansion.
Soon, Gongsun Kang turned back. The two doorkeepers in front of the door were very surprised.
This time, the Iraqi nationality also brought a lot of people, including officials and servants. Although the mansion was given by Gongsun Kang, the servant who guarded the door was Yi himself.
Just as the two servants wanted to meet them, a guard was separated from Gongsun Kang's team, rode his horse to the door, turned over and dismounted, raised his fist towards the two servants, and said: "Lord Gongsun of Liaodong Taishou is visiting, please report." ”
The two servants were even more surprised in their hearts, because since Lian Yue, although Gongsun Kang respected his nationality, he had never been so formal.
In the past, when I came, I always started first, and then I reported. Now he is willing to sit and wait outside the door and report first. There are too many differences in this before and after attitude.
The two little servants were surprised, but they couldn't guess anything.
The two of them just bent over and clenched their fists at the guard, and then one of them went in to report.
In the study, Yi had just had a headache about how to deal with Liaodong affairs, and heard the servant come in and report that Gongsun Kang had gone and returned.
And, still waiting outside the door.
At the same time as I was surprised, a wave of joy rose from the heart of the Ichi. Mo No, Mo Isn't the news of the lord's victory in Jiangxia spread to Liaodong?
As soon as this idea arose, it had already begun to spread in the hearts of the Iraqis.
"Let's go, go out to meet Gongsun." Yi stood up suddenly and walked out of the study.
Soon after, came to the gate. Yi raised his head and saw Gongsun Kang, leading his second son Gongsun Yuan to wait outside the door.
couldn't help but take a few steps forward, hugged his fists and said, "Lord Gongsun." ”
"Mr. Jibo." Gongsun Kang greeted him with a smile on his face.
Gongsun Kang's attitude made the surprise in Yi's heart expand a lot, and Gongsun Kang was also very polite to him before, but it was with reserve, the reserve of the lord of one party.
is only regarded as a talent sent to the door, and he has not been an envoy of a country at all.
And Gongsun Kang's current appearance is the real attitude towards the envoys of a strong country.
This is the treatment that an envoy should have. Yi's waist couldn't help but straighten a little, and he felt very exhaled and raised his eyebrows.
If you are an envoy of a country, go to another country to discuss matters with the kings of other countries. But the kings of other nations are looking at him left and right, and they want to recruit you.
And now the motherland behind you is strong and strong. It's enough to make people look sideways. The kings of other countries not only face you squarely, but also treat you with the attitude of meeting the envoys in earnest.
What a thrill it is.
"I don't know what happened when Lord Taishou went and returned?" Although Yi Ji felt exhaled and raised his eyebrows in his heart, he still gave Gongsun Kang face on his face, which was natural.
"This is not the place to talk." Gongsun Kang looked around and said softly.
"Taishou-sama, please." The Iraqi nationality will know, bend over and invite Gongsun Kang into the house.
Gongsun Kang nodded, turned around and motioned for Gongsun Yuan to wait outside the door, and followed Yi Yuan in.
Soon, the two of them came to the study. After sitting down with each other, Gongsun Kang first raised his fist and said to Yi Yuan: "Congratulations, sir, Jiangxia victory, General Liu first broke Cao Ren in Liucheng, and then attacked Wancheng." The momentum is magnificent. ”
Although I have already guessed the news, I am also mentally prepared. But when the news is really confirmed. The Ichi still couldn't help but rejoice.
Only with the great victory of Jiangxia, it makes sense for him to send an envoy to Liaodong. Only with the great victory of Jiangxia can he influence Liaodong, and then influence the general trend of the world with a subtle small place.
All this can only be carried out on the top of the Jiangxia victory. Otherwise, how could Gongsun Kang agree to form an alliance?
I was overjoyed in my heart, but Yi Ji hid it on his face, and calmly raised his fist to Gongsun Kang and said, "I don't know what Lord Taishou thinks now?" ”
Of course, the Iraqi nationality is alluding to the alliance. When I first met Gongsun Kang, Yi proposed an alliance, but was prevaricated by Gongsun Kang. Obviously, I don't believe that Liu Feng can defeat Cao Ren.
But now it's different.
"The matter of alliance is a matter of urgency." Gongsun Kang said categorically.
It's very different from the answer at the beginning.
When Yi first met Gongsun Kang, he proposed to let Liaodong and Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi, who are now entrenched in Wuhuan, depend on each other and become friends.
In normal times, troops were sent to harass Youzhou. When Cao Ying went north, the two sides attached themselves to each other to resist Cao Ying.
At that time, Gongsun Kang flatly refused.
may also be because of the lack of confidence, after all, Cao Ying is too powerful. It was too risky to form an alliance with Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi. But now it was different, Liu Feng defeated Cao Ren in Jiangxia.
It is tantamount to a slap in the face of Cao Ying, telling the world that Cao Ying is not inviolable and invincible.
set a good example for the people of the world.
gave Gongsun Kang the ambition to resist Cao Ying and maintain his own reading power.
Looking at the sparkling look in Gongsun Kang's eyes, Yi Yi smiled in his heart.
After the lord defeated Cao Ren, the subtle impact on the situation in the world had already begun.
"Well, now it depends on the arrival of the baggage that my lord transported from the sea from Jiangxia." Yi Yuan smiled slightly and raised his fist.
"It's already here." Gongsun Kang smiled slightly.
"Arrived?" Yi Yuan's eyes widened and he said in surprise.
Xiping Ferry, there is no city building, but an open-air port, and there is no water village to protect the ferry.
There were no merchant ships by sea, only Gongsun Kang's 3,000-strong navy was stationed here.
Fang Dao's thirty ships are also moored here. twenty-eight thousand stone grain, and three thousand gold. They were all unloaded on land and managed by the guards on this side.
On the shore, Fang Dao was walking with a middle-aged man.
The life at sea has made Fang Dao's skin much darker, and the wind and frost on his face have become thicker.
This middle-aged man is the guard of the ferry, the captain is Yan Feng, tall and big, very typical of Liaodong.
Yan Feng turned his head to Fang Dao and said, "It's a miracle that Fang Junhou can come here." ”
Yan Feng looked at the thirty merchant ships moored nearby in Fangdao not far away. I still can't help but admire, what a miracle. Thirty merchant ships that went inland and had a relatively shallow draft were able to cross the vast sea. Walk to Liaodong.
"Huh." Fang Dao smiled and acquiesced. It's a miracle indeed. And the even greater miracle is that they found a large island overseas where they could station soldiers and serve as a military ferry.
Just then, a pawn came on horseback.
After coming to the two of them, the pawn turned over and dismounted, and reported: "Lord Captain, the lord has arrived." ”
"Hehe, let's go." Listening to the pawn's report, Yan Feng smiled slightly, and turned his head to Fang Daodao.
"Hmm." Fang Dao nodded, and he was also relieved in his heart.
He is a martial artist, and he is responsible for transporting the supplies here, and what to do with this batch of materials depends on the Yi nationality.
Putting this batch of supplies in the hands of the Iraqi nationality is the completion of the task.
By the way, I also want to tell Mr. Ji Bo how to manage the affairs of that big overseas island in order to give full play to its functions.
It's up to Mr. Jibo to call the shots.
Fang Dao thought while coming to the Chinese army's tent with Yan Feng.
After entering the tent, Fang Dao saw Yi nationality and Gongsun Kang. Fang Dao first followed Yan Feng to meet Gongsun Kang, then stepped forward, bowed deeply to Yi Yuan, and said, "Mr. Jibo." ”
"Fang Junhou." Yi Yuan stood up and saluted.
After the two saluted each other, they both saw the joy of meeting their old people in a foreign country from each other's eyes. One starts from land and crosses the territory of the real Cao. One sets out from the sea and crosses the magnificent sea.
They all arrived safely in Liaodong and successfully completed their tasks. God bless Jiang Xia.
