The city is like this, so naturally it can't expect much from the buildings in the city, as the center of power in Liaodong, Gongsun Du's Taishou Mansion looks also shabby. But those who have been in and out of this mansion, even if they have seen the prosperity of the Central Plains, will not be contemptuous because of its shabby performance.

It is in response to the famous saying of later generations: the mountain is not high, but the name of the immortal is good.

The current Liaodong is not the wild land it used to be. The situation known to the outside world is just fake news that Gongsun Du deliberately released, in fact, in last year's statistics, the population of Liaodong County alone has exceeded 100,000 households! Coupled with Le Lang, Dai Fang, and half of Xuansu under his control, Gongsun Du raised his arms and exhaled, and he could pull out at least 100,000 people who held the Ge.

At the moment of chaos in the world, this is an extraordinary force, if it weren't for the fact that Liaodong is too far away from the Central Plains, and the logistics supply can't keep up, Gongsun Du is also a strong man who is qualified to win the championship.

With such authority in hand, no matter how humble the dwelling is, what can it be? Those who will underestimate Gongsun Taishou because of this will only bring humiliation on themselves.

Liu Yi stopped in front of the door for a while, then put away the emotion in his heart and hurried in.

"General Liu is here just in time, and the Lord is waiting for you." Originally, it was necessary to report, but the guards obviously had already been ordered by Gongsun Du, and when they saw that it was Liu Yi, they hurriedly greeted him, and went to the mansion with a smile.

"Hmm." Liu Yi was so preoccupied that he didn't have time to pay too much attention to it, nodded and went in, not noticing the sneer on the faces of the two guards after he left.

"Hmph, the culprit who lured the wolf into the house, seeing that it was a grasshopper after the autumn, I don't know what else to do?" The smiling greeter also changed his face quickly, spit angrily, and sneered.

"It's hard to make a conclusion, what if the peace talks come to fruition? Isn't that the hero? The other person seemed to be helping Liu Yi defend himself, but the undisguised ridicule in his tone revealed his true emotions.

"Where is it so good to talk about? If we can talk about major national affairs, why do we want to be martial artists? Karasuma is terrible, isn't it? Even Xianbei's 100,000 army was repulsed, he was able to retreat with his whole body, with tens of thousands of people, in the territory of Liaodong, how could he be regarded as a great man, the result? ”

The personal guard who greeted the guest exhaled fiercely and said in a low voice: "Hey, people didn't look at it at all, please surrender, all the soldiers, horses, and troops can be handed over, and you can only save one life!" If it were us, then we would admit it, but what kind of people is Badun, how can we just give up? I can't say it, but I still have to see the real chapter under the sword. The person surnamed Liu is still a well-educated person, and he doesn't understand this reason. ”

"Who's to say it isn't." Another person echoed with a relative: "However, the Qingzhou army is also worthy of its reputation, it is very powerful, 100,000 cavalry!" Even General Baima was seriously injured and dying, and he was actually repelled by the Qingzhou army, what if we ...... Can you win? As he spoke, he became worried.

"How can you say this kind of thing? It is still General Yang's words that make the most sense, and only when you can fight can you make peace with ......"

The lower the voice, the more it turned into a whisper, and it was no longer audible. However, it is not difficult to know what is going on, as the original author is speaking generously in the chamber.

"If you can fight, you can make peace!"

Gongsun Du has recruited a lot of talents over the years, but not many of them are really useful, except for his relatives, mainly Liu Yi, Yang Yi and Li Min. The person who is now making an impassioned statement is Yang Yi, who is in charge of the military affairs of the counselor.

is different from Liu Yi, who is very bookish, Yangyi looks quite majestic, with a Chinese face, two thick eyebrows, a pair of wide eyes, black and white. When he speaks, he has a loud voice, with moderate body movements, which is very infectious and persuasive.

"Although he Qingzhou is powerful, I am not casually kneaded in Liaodong! Gongsun Boqi was careless, the army was defeated and surrounded, and he was rescued by Qingzhou, how can he be the same as my Liaodong? Thinking about the last general, the lord only sits in the city, and does not need to show his attitude, and sees how Wang Pengju makes a move. ”

"It's safe to be quiet, but it's not a missed opportunity. Well, the hussar general joined the army with a weak crown, turned to the world, and was invincible, how majestic? The heroes of the Central Plains are still afraid, let alone Liaodong? It's better to plan early, it's more or less sincere, if it really comes to the step of meeting each other, I'm afraid ...... Alas, if there is a way out, why bother to burn all the jade? ”

Opposite to Yangyi, it is Li Min who has a completely opposite opinion.

Although this person is not well-known, but the qualifications are amazing, he once served as an official in the court, and also served as the Hanoi Taishou, and later because of the avoidance, the family fled to Liaodong, and was encircled by Gongsun Du to the shogunate, and made great achievements in organization and coordination, civil affairs.

"Before the soldiers and horses arrived, they looked at the wind and fell? Hmph, I don't have to fall into my own majesty! Yang Yi snorted coldly: "I heard that the hussar general often said that face is given by others and lost by himself, so it is really appropriate to describe Brother Xing in this way." Sincerity? If sincerity is useful, you have to do it! ”

Li Min is not a good gentleman, his face turned cold when he heard this, and he shot back in a cold tone: "One general has achieved ten thousand bones, General Yang insists on fighting so much, all he thinks about is his own fame and wealth, right?" ”

"You're spewing blood!" Yang Yi was furious, got up and rushed up, with a posture of wanting to do it if he couldn't move, and Gongsun Kang on the side saw that the situation was not good, so he hurriedly rushed up and hugged him, so as to avoid the former from staging a full martial arts in the council hall.

Liu Yi and the others slowed down, but they also reacted quickly, and while stopping Yang Yi, they persuaded Li Min to stop their voices, and it took a long time to stop again.

"Done arguing? Enough trouble? Gongsun Du finally spoke, his tone was light, but everyone's hearts were awe-inspiring.

In Liaodong, no one dares to underestimate the self-proclaimed Liaodong Marquis, Pingzhou Mu, and the Liaodong Taishou who was enshrined by the imperial court, especially the people around him. Back then, in the name of the reception banquet, he recruited hundreds of heroes to enter the palace to ambush him, but he was not the first to ambush the soldiers, but he was the first to pick up the war knife and killed more than 20 people with his own hands!

Before doing this, Gongsun Du also discussed with everyone how to solve the problem of the powerful in the territory, but at that time, there were different opinions and could not reach an agreement. Then, Gongsun Du also asked lightly, and then made the decision to set up a banquet and ambush.

The Haoqiang who were invited were all suspicious, in order to lure them into the palace, Gongsun Du only left less than fifty guards, and those Haoqiang were all fierce characters who could shoot bows when they got on their horses and wielded knives when they got off their horses, plus their entourage guards, the number was completely disproportionate.

The ambush plan was extremely dangerous, but it succeeded in the end. But every time the participants at that time recalled it, they would always be frightened and afraid. Now, Gongsun Du has come up with such a sentence again, no matter what point of view he holds, how can he not be shocked in his heart?

"Enough noise, let's get down to business." What made the generals of Liaodong breathe a sigh of relief was that Gongsun Du did not make too extreme decisions this time, but waved his hand to signal the official start of the military discussion, and lightly brought the argument of Shicai over.

"Ziqiang, you just met the envoy of Qingzhou, can you find out anything? Is there any dissatisfaction with Benhou? "Allowing the staff to discuss will only lead to quarrels, and Gongsun Du simply leads the military discussion himself.

"The lord and the minister asked several things, and the other party responded...... According to his statement, Xianbei was indeed defeated and lost, and he was defeated very badly, and he was able to escape from the wall, but three or four out of ten ......" He hesitated slightly, and then continued: "And in the battle of Juyong City, the army under the command of Wang Hussar is indeed only 20,000 ......"

"Hahahaha......" Before he finished speaking, Yang Yi had already laughed heartily.

"Ziqiang, Ziqiang, you are smart all your life, why are you confused for a while? 20,000 against 100,000, head-to-head, killing nearly 50,000 enemies? Are you talking about a joke or a myth? If you have a little brain, you know that this is impossible! Xianbei people are not stupid, they can't run if they can't beat them? How could it be that so many people died? Half of the majesty of the Qingzhou Army was blown out! People say, it's not ......."

He didn't finish his words, because when he turned his head and wanted to seek a response, he met Gongsun Du's shining eyes, and he felt a chill in his heart, and he was scared back by the words that followed.

"Go on." Gongsun Du's glaring frightened Yang Yi, raised his hand, and motioned for Liu Yi to continue.

"Whoa." Liu Yi bowed down and said: "The Eastern Crusade is indeed on the line, it is said that the hussar general stationed in Youzhou did not go, just to completely pacify the ...... Northern. He peeked at Gongsun Du's expression, and the latter's face was dark and dull, which made him even more worried: "It is said that the hussar general also drafted a ...... for Pingbei."

"What about the other than these?" Gongsun Du frowned, a little impatient.

What he wants to know is not these, now all kinds of news are flying all over the outside, some say that the Xianbei people just avoided the war and left, not a fiasco, and some say that after the death of Qianman, the Xianbei people led to the throne and caused internal strife, and the Qingzhou army just picked a cheap, in short, there are different opinions, and there is no consensus.

Gongsun Du has no intention of getting to the bottom of it, and he will not carefully verify which news is false information released by Bundun, which is from Qingzhou, or what the truth is. Regardless of whether the battle of Juyong was true or not, he only needed to know that the Xianbei people had retreated and the news that the Qingzhou army planned to march eastward was enough.

What determines the future of Liaodong is Wang Yu's attitude towards himself.

Liaodong is the foundation, and it is easy to let go, but if Wang Yu really doesn't take himself in his eyes and blindly persecutes, he will not swallow his anger, even if he fights to the death, he will let the other party hurt his muscles and bones.

He has such pride, but he is also full of confidence.

Wang Yu's attitude was naturally best seen from his envoy, and the information that the other party said was insignificant. Gongsun Du has always admired Liu Yi's knowledge and interest, but he didn't want the other party to suddenly be confused today, and he couldn't get to the point for a long time.

"My subordinates are ashamed." Liu Yi saw that Gongsun Du was annoyed, and hurriedly apologized, but when he looked up, he looked embarrassed: "It's just my lord, the person who came this time claimed to be only in charge of maritime trade matters, and had no intention of negotiating with our army." ”

"What?" Gongsun Du finally changed color.
