Chapter 26 Why bother

The next day, Gongsun Kang summoned Zhuge Liang and told him that my family is willing to surrender, but I must ask the envoy to play the court, and first agree to three conditions. "Kong Mingdao listened attentively, so Gongsun Kang wrenched his fingers and explained one by one with a sinking face:

"First, cut the discipline to sacrifice the first test; second, to forgive the sins of my father and son; Third, Yun was a knight and served as the assassin of Pingzhou. If he agreed, Kang immediately opened the city to welcome the army. ”

When Zhuge Liang heard this, he couldn't help but sneer: "The son is stubborn, forgive me for obeying my fate - farewell!" ”

When Gongsun Kang put forward these three conditions, it was obvious that he had no sincerity to surrender. You said that you want to cut off the discipline, or ask the court to pardon the sins of the father-in-law, although it is Xun, he may not be willing to agree, after all, "ask for the price all over the sky, and pay back the money on the spot", you can continue to negotiate. Question: He also asked for a successor to be the assassin of Pingzhou, and still wanted to stay in Liaodong - what was the purpose of spending countless grain and materials, and the army desperately attacked? Is it an apology just to demote the state pastor to the first rank of assassination? There is no reason!

Before Zhuge Liang came, Shi Xun gave him the condition that he could ensure the personal safety of his grandson and his son, and if he didn't make it, he would be killed, as long as they surrendered honestly and went to Xu Capital to apologize, maybe even the title could be preserved - the official position was another one, and it was sent out to take charge of the place, so don't even think about it.

Therefore, Gongsun Kangti's three conditions, especially the third condition, came out, that is, he euphemistically said: We will not surrender, and come to war. Zhuge Liang knew that since the other party had made up his mind, it was pointless to persuade him, so he resigned angrily and returned to the camp at the foot of the mountain to report to the honor.

At the moment, when he talked about the envoy's experience, Shi Xun hadn't reacted yet, and Xiao Jixian slapped his palms: "Gongsun wants to escape!" "The kid wants to escape!

Why do you make such a judgment? Xiao Ji went on to explain. If Gongsun Kang tried in vain to hold on to Xiangping City. Wait for the situation to change. He must encourage and mobilize the hearts of the people in the city to the greatest extent, and will never reveal the fact that Gongsun Du has died - Gongsun Dujiu has been in Liaodong for a long time, and his prestige is famous, and his braids are curled at this juncture, which will definitely affect the morale of the people in the city, so how can he drive him to defend the city? Gongsun Kang refused to hide this matter, and his only intention was to make sure that he was the head of the Gongsun family, and he was also the lord of Liaodong.

If Gongsun Kang intends to surrender. If you don't have the will to defend the city, then it is understandable to mourn your father immediately. However, listening to Kong Ming's relaying of the conditions proposed by Gongsun Kang, it is clear that he does not want to surrender, and he does not want to surrender and cannot defend it, so he only has the possibility of abandoning the city and fleeing.

Give up the fundamentals and go for your life, and the hearts of the people will be scattered, so you must first determine the status of Gongsun Kang's head of the family, and it is still expected to encircle some of your cronies in a small area.

Xiao Ji explained. Shi Xun immediately understood, and Zhuge Liang next to him also said: "I mean the same." And Kang refused. but they have deceived those who have summoned the congregation to counsel, in order to confuse me. "He pretended to ask me to wait one more night, saying that he would convene his subordinates to discuss, but in fact, he made us mistakenly think that he still had a certain intention of surrendering, and he could still negotiate with guò, or fight with guò in the early stage, prompting him to change his plan. In fact, he had already made up his mind to escape!

Xiao Ji and Zhuge Liang expected to be true, in fact, when Gongsun Du was dying, he secretly took care of Gongsun Kang, saying that if Gongsun Mo was defeated and returned, Xiangping might still be able to defend, and if Gongsun Mo was defeated, Xiangping might be difficult to complete. If you resolutely defend the city, our Gongsun family will be wiped out, and the only way to do this is to take a step back for the time being, abandon the city and leave, so as to wait for the future.

Gongsun Kang was shocked and frightened when he heard this, so he asked his father, where should the son go? Gongsun Du said that you have two ways to go - "The best strategy is to go south to Lelang, so as to vote for Liu Zigang." Lelang has a muddy water and a big 6 separation, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the momentum of the Youzhou army has been exhausted, if I am Xun, I will not rush to chase also, but Xu Tusheng gathered, south to collect three Han, east to take the water, that is, it is difficult to return to Liaodong, can also be from the king. "It's better to simply lose Liaodong and become the king of the peninsula.

Gongsun Du said that although this is the best policy, there are also two major risks: "First, I am afraid that Liu Yi will be a servant, so we must be vigilant; Second, be careful not to leak out, if you block the way to the south, you must not go. "The first point, you have to be wary of the powerful Liu Yi to put you in the air, and even kill the lord and stand on his own - I know Liu Zigang, he is stronger than Yangyi, but his loyalty is not as good as Yangyi, and if you keep it out for a long time, I am afraid that you will have different intentions. The second point is that if the plan to go south is expected by Shixun in advance, and he sends troops to defend the dangerous passes, it is estimated that you will not be able to get through.

Therefore, after Gongsun Kang learned the news of the defeat of the mountain, he had already made up his mind to abandon the city and leave, and immediately mourned his father to determine his status as the lord of Liaodong. When receiving Zhuge Liang, he pretended to hesitate, his purpose was to paralyze the Youzhou army, and he did not suspect that he had the intention of escaping. As for really convening the ministers to discuss, Gongsun Kang wanted to distinguish who had broken his heart and gallbladder, and was bent on surrendering, which was embarrassing and useless - I didn't take this road with me when I ran away, in case they dragged me back, and even more so in case they were frightened for a while, and Xiang Shixun revealed my whereabouts.

As a result, Zhang Chang, Wang Jian and other ministers all said that they should surrender, only Yang Yi couldn't make up his mind and did not express any opinions, and Han Yao insisted on defending the city first. So Gongsun Kang secretly summoned Yang Yi after the meeting, and said that you hurry up and prepare to evacuate, I won't bring any of the bastards, let them go to the Cao family to ask for wealth and nobility, only Gongliang and Zhiyu are indeed loyal ministers, I must take you with me.

But Gongsun Kang didn't expect that Xiao Ji and Zhuge Liang were both resourceful people who knew the subtleties, and from the small detail of his father's funeral, he guessed his overall plan. Therefore, Shi Xun hurriedly sent Qin Yi and others to lead several Karasuma cavalry, hurriedly marched eastward, and scattered south of Daliangshui to search for Gongsun Kang's whereabouts.

Three-quarters of the population and arable land were concentrated between Xiangping and Wenxian, which was later called the "Liaohe Plain". The east of the county is mostly hilly, and the dense forest is endless, the only road that can pass through the waves is to swim south from the water of Daliang, through Xi'an Ping to Fanhan. The south of Fanhan County is the natural boundary of the two counties, that is, the Qingchuan River in later generations.

Therefore, it was Xun Xian who sent cavalry to block this road, and Gongsun Kang would have no plan to go south.

Sure enough, on the evening of the day Zhuge Liang returned to the foothills of the mountain. The brothers Gongsun Kang and Gongsun Du took Yangyi, Han Yao, and their families, slaves, and cronies with a total of more than 1,000 people. Carrying the wealth of the treasury. Quietly walked out of the east gate of Xiangping and went east along the beam water. Han Yao was temporarily dragged from his home - anyway, he had not been an official in Xiangping for a long time, and he had no relatives or things to bring - at first he thought that Gongsun Kang had summoned him to a meeting to discuss the strategy of defending the city, but he didn't expect to be directly pressed on horseback and followed the team out of the city.

Look left and right, not all of this team are soldiers, but forty percent of them are soldiers and servants. Han Yao immediately understood - this is not to sneak attack the Youzhou Army, or to rescue Gongsun Mo, this is to run! Hurriedly hit the horse to catch up with Yangyi, and asked him in a low voice: "Where will the prince and me go?" ”

Yang Yi glared at Han Yao lightly: "Since the ancestor is dead and the funeral is over, then the son of the sect is my master, and don't use the word 'son' anymore." We will now go south to Lelang to vote for Liu Zigang. ”

Han Yao was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly advised Yang Yi: "Don't! Liaodong was armed, and Liu Yi did not move. There will be dissenting hearts. Besides, he and Yang Gong have never been on good terms, if they are like-minded. Yang Gong is in danger! ”

Yang Yixin said that Liu Yi didn't come to rescue Xiangping, it was really not his responsibility, it was I who kept pressing him and didn't let him come, and now that I think about it, I really regret it. But Han Yao is right, I have always had conflicts with that guy, especially after releasing him from other counties and blocking his northern aid, he must hate me even more. Now that he is in Lelang, the foundation is solid, even if I have a son...... The lord is covered, can he really fight with him again? Maybe you can just move with your head!

Well, if I get in a different place, I will definitely cut the other party in two pieces for the crime of not being able to protect Xiangping, and the lord will definitely push a scapegoat out in order to get rid of the notoriety of discarding the inheritance of the ancestors, which happens to be a hit! No, it's too dangerous, I'll have to think about it!

However, this Yang Gongliang temple is still competent, and he can respond to the situation on the spot, but he is not the director, and he can't think of any good ideas for a while. Han Yao took the opportunity to instigate: "My cloth clothes, by Yang Gong Jian pulled, I have to be the official of Liaodong, the difficulty of Yang Gong, that is, the shame of Yao." Now there are three strategies for the upper, middle and lower, is Yang Gong willing to listen to Yao? ”

Yang Yi asked sincerely, and Han Yao said slowly: "The next policy, that is, to persuade the lord, Liu Yi is not credible, and Lelang is not to go, you can switch to Goguryeo, although you can ensure that Yang Gong is not harmed by Xiaoxiao, but the road is long and obstructive, and the heart of the king of Goguryeo is unpredictable, and it is also very dangerous; Zhongce, please temporarily stay in Fanhan, do not enter Lelang, and summon Liu Yi to come to the rescue, Yang Gong can plan to take Liu Yi's life first, and then support the lord into the county ......"

After saying the next two strategies, Han Yao suddenly fell silent. Yang Yi was strange, asked repeatedly, Han Yao pretended to hesitate: "Although this plan is safe, it violates the righteousness of loyalty, Yang Gong is not guilty, Yao is daring to speak." Yang Yi had already guessed a few points, but still said, I don't blame you, you can talk about it quickly.

Han Yaoyi gritted his teeth: "Yu Yanggong is kind, the first lord is also, not the lord of the time, why not tie up Gongsun Kang to surrender to be the king, or not lose the reward of the marquis!" "Let's just do the opposite!

Hearing this, Yang Yi first raised his eyebrows, as if he wanted to do it, but finally sighed: "Since Zhiyu knows that the ancestor is kind to a certain person, how can Yi bear to carry his flesh and blood and never inherit his ancestry?" I know that Yu loves me, but I will not mention this again, and I would rather die than do this unrighteous thing! As he spoke, he pondered for a long time: "The next strategy is in danger, and I will take the middle strategy." ”

In the general historical record, as long as the so-called "upper, middle and lower three strategies" are proposed, the virtuous will definitely take the best policy, the mentally handicapped will take the lower policy, and the mediocre will take the middle policy - because the middle policy is the most stable, although the benefits are not large, but the risks are relatively small. So will the male will not take the wrong strategy? Theoretically, that is inevitable, so the history books will reorder the three strategies to prove that those who succeed must take the best policy.

Yang Yi wants to take the middle strategy, Han Yao regrets this, and said in his heart that if he knew it, he would just say two strategies to you. Of course, he hopes that under his own instigation, Yang Yi will turn his back on Gongsun Kang on the spot and carry out a coup d'état, and then our brothers and sons will tie up Gongsun Brother to vote for the envoy, and his own credit will not be small. However, he also knows very well that it is unlikely that Yangyi will take this strategy, so it is best for you to change your path and go to Goguryeo in the north - in the past few years, Liaodong has won many battles against Goguryeo, so in Han Yao's view, Goguryeo is a fart, and the Gongsun brothers are thrown into that wild land, but they are just surviving, and they will not be in trouble. And perhaps, the king of Goguryeo will slaughter the Gongsun brothers just like Gongsun Du killed Er Yuan that day, and dedicate the rank to the envoy, then Liaodong will be pacified.

As for going south to Liu Yi, it is different, Liu Yi is the former official of Gongsun, he may overthrow Gongsun Kang, but he does not dare to risk the disapproval of the world to kill the Gongsun brothers, if you send troops to block the water, if you want to attack deeply, it will be quite difficult.

Therefore, Yangyi either turned his back on Gongsun and instigated Gongsun Kang to switch to Goguryeo, which was in the hands of Han Yao. Who would have thought that Yang Yi would take the middle strategy, and if he wanted to go to Fanhan to earn Liu Yi, he would die - Han Yaoxin said that Liu Yi was so easy to fool? You killed him so easily? You're just taking one step at a time, and you're going to put the hard stuff behind for later, right?

No, Han Yaoxin said that I can't go to Fanhan with you, it will be difficult to complete the mission delivered by the envoy, and it is very likely that Liu Yi will be harmed because of the party and Yangyi - Lao Tzu should hurry up and flash people! (To be continued!)
