The group left Xiangping at night, not far from the city, and Yang Yi hurriedly came to see Gongsun Kang, saying that in case Yi Xun saw through our plan and sent troops to ambush on the southbound avenue, then we were in danger - we must send people to the front to explore the way.

Gongsun Kang said that what Gongliang said is reasonable, so who do you think should be sent? Yang Yi arched his hand: "Han Zhiyu is resourceful and vigilant, so he can strike first." ”

Gongsun Kang groaned for a while, and nodded: "In this way, I will send ten horsemen to explore Ke Ye." ”

In fact, Yang Yi's idea was put forward by Han Yao, and its purpose is self-evident, in order to take time to run away - if he can be put into the army in time to report the news of Gongsun Kang's flight to the south, it will be a great achievement. So the time was not long, Han Yao broke away from the brigade under the escort of ten Gongsun clan's henchmen cavalry, and galloped to the east as fast as he could, first to find out if the road ahead was smooth.

According to Han Yao's idea, if we run all the way until dawn, we must find a place to rest our horsepower, and then I will scatter all the cavalry to reconnoiter around, and I can take the opportunity to escape. But he didn't expect that when the sky was about to dawn, the eleventh horsemen were still galloping, seeing that they were approaching the road of Nantong Fanhan, and suddenly the sound of horses' hooves in front of him sounded, and dozens of horsemen rushed out of the dense forest in an instant, with felt hats and furs, all of which were Karasuma soldiers.

There is no need to ask, it must be Xun who has expected that Gongsun Kang will go south, so he sent Karasuma to cut off his way first. Han Yao was surprised and delighted when he saw this, and he was surprised that since the envoy had a plan, his own merits would inevitably be greatly reduced; The good news is that we can finally get out of the cage and get back on the right path.

The subordinates asked what to do, and there were few of us and many of them. If the battle is more than lucky. Han Yao said what else to do. Thou shalt hasten and returned. Warn the lord, Le Lang can't go, I'm here to stop these Karasuma! As he spoke, he pulled out the jade sword at his waist, and looked like a loyal minister who was desperately protecting the lord and dying with the enemy.

There were several cavalrymen who wanted to stay to help Han Yao stop the enemy, but they were reprimanded by Han Yao and shouted: "You and others are all warriors of a hundred battles, and it is necessary to protect the lord, if I die, it is not a pity." I expect that there are still Youzhou soldiers and horses near the left, and you can part ways. But if one person is able to return to warn the lord, I will die without hatred! As he spoke, he knocked his legs on the horse's belly and rushed straight towards the opposite side.

Seeing that he was gradually approaching, the Karasuma soldiers on the opposite side had already drawn their bows and arrows and pointed at him, shouting and asking for their identities - most of them were Hu Yin, but there were also a few jerky Chinese words, which made Han Yao feel very relieved - and the Liaodong cavalry behind him also turned their horses away, so Han Zhiyu raised his hands and shouted: "I am not a minister of Liaodong. but between the envoys, they can lead me to the envoys. There is an important military retribution! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of loose strings behind his head, and then a strong wind struck, and a sharp arrow pierced through the back of his neck, piercing through the Adam's apple. Han Zhiyu couldn't even scream, so he opened his eyes wide, fell from the horse's back to the ground, fluttered a few times, and quickly lost his breath. He still can't close his mouth and eyes, and he really can't turn a blind eye.

The one who shot Han Yao was a Gongsun tribe who had followed him. Gongsun Du once said that Han Yao was a spy that day, although Gongsun Kang was not convinced, but he also kept an eye on it, and this time he explored the way forward, so he secretly instructed a few henchmen, saying that if Han joined the army and had misdeeds, you could kill him, and don't stay as a disaster for my family. Therefore, Han Yao and the scribes, holding up a decorative long sword, said that they were going to block the pursuers, and the subordinates instinctively became suspicious, so they left one person behind the bushes to spy on the movements. When Han Yao shouted out the words that did not admit himself, the man showed no mercy and aimed at an arrow to kill.

The Karasuma soldiers didn't care about Han Yao's corpse, and went to search and kill Gongsun Buqu, but there were still two of them who were able to escape, and despite the exhaustion of the horsepower, they hurried back to report to Gongsun Kang - but none of them were the ones who shot Han Yao, so they just said that the road ahead was blocked, and there were Karasuma soldiers covering the road, and Han Senjun sent us to return as soon as possible.

Gongsun Kang was shocked and frightened when he heard this, and at this time, he didn't care about asking about Han Yao's life or death, and urgently summoned Yang Yi to come to discuss. Yangyi remembered the three strategies mentioned by Han Yao, and hurriedly said: "Since the south road is not passable, I have to turn to the north, and it is difficult for Lelang to go, so I can only go to Goguryeo." Who wants Gongsun Kangyi to wave his hand: "Goguryeo can't go!" ”

Before his death, Gongsun Du asked his son to give up Xiangping, temporarily retreat to avoid the edge of Shixun, and look for opportunities to move again, the first thing he proposed was Nantou Lelang. However, Gongsun Du also said that if this matter is expected by Shixun in advance or temporarily detected, I am afraid that you will not be able to get through, so there is no way, so you have to take the second path. At that time, Gongsun Kang also asked: "Why don't you go to Goguryeo?" Gongsun Du glared at him: "Don't you miss the Yuan brothers in the past?!" ”

Now that the Gongsun brothers have fallen into the defeat and escape of the Yuan brothers in the past, it can really be described as the reincarnation of heaven, and they are not happy at all, and the situation of the two escaping from the base and going to other families is also similar. Today's Goguryeo is like the former Liaodong Gongsun clan, on the one hand, it is enough to divide its own power, but on the other hand, it is afraid of the all-out attack of the central power - in this regard, Goguryeo is not as good as the Gongsun clan, not to mention the central power, even with the Gongsun family for many years, Goguryeo is more defeated than victorious, the only advantage is that the distance is far enough, the imperial court may not have the intention of going to the conquest.

Therefore, the king of Goguryeo must think, I am far away from the emperor, and the court may not come to beat me, but if I take in the father and son, it will be difficult to say. In this case, why not behead the second grandson to dedicate to the imperial court? but to ensure the safety of my vassal kingdom. And just as Gongsun Du was afraid of Eryuan that day, the king of Goguryeo must also be jealous of Gongsun brothers, so he let you into the country casually? Who knows if you will try to occupy the magpie's nest!

At that time, Gongsun had no shadow on the Yuan family, and now Goguryeo was defeated by Liaodong not long ago, although it is equal and harmonious on the surface, in fact, every time he is driven by the Gongsun family, there is not only a shadow in his heart, but also hatred. Isn't it a very slim thing to hope that they will take you in and protect you?

Therefore, Gongsun Du arranged for his son, saying that if the south road is blocked, you will only have one road to go in Beitou Xianbei.

In this regard, the Xianbei tribe is not a formal minister of the Han Dynasty, since Tanshihuai formed the Eastern Xianbei Alliance, the various ministries have rebelled from time to time, and the Han Dynasty has only been restrained, and they can't control them at all. So in fact, Xianbei was an enemy country to the Han Dynasty. Surrender and rebel among enemy countries. It's a normal thing.

On the other hand. Xianbei wants to go south to herd horses for a long time, but he can't find a suitable "leading party", your brothers can go over, you can be Chen Feng and Lu Fangye, and they will definitely take them in. And now that the alliance has collapsed, and the various ministries are competing for power, just north of my Liaodong, the most powerful are the two divisions of Suli and Miga. Unite with Kirby Neng of the enemy West. Now that there are two parts in the other, your brothers can mediate and profit from them, hoping to make a comeback.

Since Gongsun Du had already taught something, Gongsun Kang never thought of going to Goguryeo. At that moment, his father's last words were revealed to Yang Yi, and Yang Gongliang couldn't help but mourn: "If the ancestor is here, why are we here!" "Look at Gongsun Du's keen vision and prudent planning, none of us can compare!

Gongsun Kang comforted Yangyi: "Don't be depressed by the public amount, between the different days and the Hu species, the two parts of the fishing profit." It's all up to metry. "You are a master of political disputes, will my brother be able to gain a firm foothold in Xianbei in the future. And then for profit, then it's all up to you, please cheer up quickly.

The group turned north and did not mention it. Let's say that the next morning the group of officials in Xiangping City found that the Gongsun brothers and Yangyi were all gone, and they were all shocked, Zhang Chang, Wang Jian and others discussed for a long time, and finally decided to send an envoy to the Shixun army, bowing down - this even the master has run away, what kind of strength do we have to hold on.

When the envoy arrived, he was just in time for Qin Yi to send someone to report back, saying that he had found the trace of Gongsun Kang in the south of the upper reaches of Daliang Water, but it was a pity that the other party saw the opportunity quickly, turned around in time, and fled to the north, and we couldn't catch up. It was Xun who took care of them to continue to block the road to the south, so there was no need to chase deeply.

He turned his head and discussed with Xiao Ji and Zhuge Liang, saying that it seemed that the Gongsun brothers had indeed escaped, but they were blocked by our army and could not go south, so they fled north—where would they go? Is it possible for us to catch up?

Xiao Ji said that further north is Xuansu County, the terrain is relatively gentle, there are many passable roads, not only difficult to block, it is estimated that it will not be able to catch up - "If the Gongsun brothers escape into Goguryeo, then there is no worries, I am in Liaodong, and I also have some communication with the monarchs and ministers of Guryeo, but a book will bind them." But I am afraid that it will be difficult to control it. ”

Shi Xun sneered: "If his brother wants to say for the Bank of China, he will use his power to disturb China, and he will kill himself if he commits many injustices, why am I afraid!" According to the original historical records, Xianbei has been fighting endlessly over the years, and before Kebi can finally stand out, it basically does not pose any threat to China, and there has not even been a large-scale incursion. Shixun believes that no matter how his butterfly wings flutter, no matter how history changes, some general trends cannot change after all, and the Gongsun brothers want to seduce Hu Qi to go south and recapture Liaodong, at least in the past ten years. As for ten years from now, how can the world be decided—at least North China should be decided—then are you still afraid of you?

In other words, ten years later, the "Yellow Beard" of the Mighty Northland should also be an adult.

At this time, Xiangping came to ask for surrender, and Shixun immediately sent Yu Ban to lead his troops into the city, and he was still under the first mountain, and sent someone to go up the mountain with Xiangping's surrender letter to see Gongsun Mo. The messenger conveyed the words of Shi Xun and threatened Gongsun Mo, saying: "If Qing descends, he will not be blamed for the past; If you don't descend, those surnamed Gongsun in Liaodong will be slaughtered! ”

The Gongsun clan is also a big family in the Northeast, with countless branches - in fact, the branch of Gongsun Du and Gongsun Kang is not the taproot, and Gongsun Mo is still a little closer to the Zong family - there are more than 10,000 people. Yes Xun said, if you don't hurry down the mountain and surrender, I will slaughter all the people surnamed Gongsun, do you believe it or not? Directly slaughter your family, and don't leave one of you believe it or not?

It's Hongsuke who is not a butcher and a thief after all, and he has to take into account Rulin's perception, of course he won't really do this, it's just a matter of words. However, Gongsun Mo did not dare to take this risk, and when he learned that the Gongsun Kang brothers had abandoned the city and fled, he naturally extinguished his stubborn resistance, so he sighed and put down his weapon gloomily.

On this point, Liaodong is roughly decided. Xiahou Yuan, the protector of the Eastern Expedition, had just run to the foot of the first mountain in the stars and the moon, and when he heard the news, he couldn't help but stomp his feet and feel resentful - it's too late, I haven't been able to catch up with any battle, and I can grab any credit, why do you say I came all the way to this trip...... I knew that I would have resigned from this position and went south with the lord to fight Liu Biao! (To be continued......)
