Gongsun Du was sober the day before yesterday, but he just returned to the light, and when he heard that Xiao Ji did not return to the city, but rebelled one after another, he immediately shouted, and he fell to the sky, and he lost his breath in an instant.

So when Zhuge Liang entered Xiangping City, he saw that every family was dressed in linen, and everyone was filial piety-Gongsun Du was the emperor of the soil in Liaodong, he died, and Gongsun Kang ordered it down, and the people still dared not to pretend to cry?

Gongsun Kang, dressed in mourning clothes, summoned Zhuge Liang at his father's mourning hall. Zhuge Liang followed the rules and offered incense to sacrifice, because he had no equipment before coming, so he offered a piece of jade on his waist as a ceremony. Gongsun Kang is an enemy country with his roots, but looking at this young man, he is handsome, and there is no shortage of etiquette, and it is not good to deliberately face each other coldly. So he invited Zhuge Liang to the outer hall to inquire about his intentions.

Zhuge Liang opened his mouth and asked, saying that now Gongsun Mo has been besieged by our army on the top of the first mountain, has Gongzi heard of it? Gongsun Kang nodded and said I already knew.

Last night, Gongsun Mo escaped to the foot of Shoushan Mountain, and in order to catch up with the army, he immediately sent a number of troops to Xiangping to report the news. Because Yu Ban led the cavalry to patrol and garrison, nine out of ten people could not cross the line - but it was inevitable that some fish would slip through the net, but when they could enter the city to report to Gongsun Kang, Gongsun Kang would send someone to send a letter back, and they would no longer find a guy who was lucky enough.

Therefore, between Xiangping and Shoushan, the information is unilaterally isolated, and Gongsun Kang is still unclear about the situation in the city, so he can act before the battle today.

However, knowing that Gongsun Mo had retreated to Shoushan, Gongsun Kang naturally would not send people to find out the news, and the spies did not need to get too close, just climb high and look, and there would be a big battle in Shoushan at noon. Win or lose. can also see that eight or nine are not far from ten.

Zhuge Liang saw that Gongsun Kang knew that Shoushan was besieged. Then there is no need to talk nonsense, and directly put forward that Xiangping is already a lonely city, and the defense power is insufficient, and there is no rescue outside. In that case, do you have any ideas, Childe?

Zhuge Liang is here to persuade him to surrender. But if you haven't opened your mouth yet, you can make the other party take the initiative to bow down, which is for the sake of goodness.

Gongsun Kang pondered for a while, and suddenly asked: "What is the crime of my family, and Qing and others sent troops to attack?" ”

When Zhuge Liang heard this, he couldn't help but smile slightly, in fact, he had already asked Shixun this question before he came. The imperial court had just rewarded Gongsun Du for killing Eryuan the year before last, and for more than a year, the Gongsun family only expanded its power to the east, for Youzhou's territory and Cao Cao's territory. I didn't dare to take a step beyond Lei Chi, so it was Xun in the strict sense. This time the division is unknown. Originally, under the banner of chasing Karasuma in the territory who had fled eastward, he crossed the border and entered the territory of Liaodong, but when he was killed under the city of Changli, he didn't mention it, and just blindly attacked forward.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang asked, this is the first time we have formally negotiated with the Gongsun family, and he will inevitably ask similar questions, how should I answer?

逄 Ji said next to him: "You can be responsible for taking pleasure in the waves." "Although Lelang County is isolated overseas, and has not communicated with the central government for many years, and even the county guard has not been able to be replaced for many years - the imperial court also wanted to replace it for a while, and sent a Liangmao over, but was intercepted by Gongsun Du halfway - but in any case, it is also the territory of the Han Dynasty, and your Gongsun family brazenly sent troops to annex it, which gave us an excuse to crusade.

However, Shi Xun shook his head slightly: "No." He said that the imperial court divided Youzhou into Youzhou and Pingzhou a few years ago, and Lelang was also included in Pingzhou, so when Gongsun Du was officially worshiped as the pastor of Pingzhou, he naturally had the power to govern Lelang, and the court had no way to interfere - not to mention our Youzhou, how could there be a state to suppress internal rebellions, or to level local secession, and the neighboring states had the reason to brazenly interfere? Then he glanced at Xiao Ji and said slowly: "If Yuan Tu is not deceived, there is something to say." ”

If Xiao Ji hadn't told a lie, Gongsun Du would have died a long time ago, even if he didn't mourn after death, I could have an excuse to send troops. Why? Your Gongsun Du is only the lord of a state, a courtier of the Han Dynasty, since he has died, he must immediately go to the imperial court, and ask the court to appoint another capable person to take over the post and govern Pingzhou. As a result, not only did he not play, but he also wanted his father to die and his son to succeed him, which was like a separation--theoretically speaking, Gongsun Kang would definitely wait for his own position to sit firmly before he would inform the court of his father's death, and ask for an additional attack on the throne -- then I would guard Youzhou for the imperial court, adjacent to Pingzhou, for fear that you and other rebellions would be difficult to control, so I could go first without waiting for the king's order. If you want this kind of reason, it can be regarded as barely tenable.

Xiao Ji's face was slightly pale, and he spread his hands: "I mistook Hongfu, but how to deal with it now?" "In the past, I was sorry for you, but there is no way to get it back, and you said it in vain, so let's think about what to do now.

Yes Xun said that it is easy to do, since we ignore it, then simply don't reason with the other party, the hooligan draws the knife, everyone is afraid, the hooligan pretends to be a saint, how can he not pretend to be like it, but will be laughed at by the world. So take care of Zhuge Liang, if Gongsun Kang asks you why we sent troops, you will answer him: "On the side of the couch, how can you allow others to sleep soundly?" ”

I'm just unreasonable, I just think that your Gongsun clan continues to exist, which is not only a threat to Youzhou, but also a Cao family...... The threat of the Han Dynasty. What kind of virtue do you two have in Liaodong, don't think that no one in the Central Plains knows, arrogating the honor guard of the Son of Heaven, not waiting for the king's order and conquering without authorization, and once disturbed Qingdeng in the south and detained the Lelang Taishou appointed by the imperial court. You are divided and rebellious, and the court is out of reach for a while, so you pretend to comfort and talk about it, and now the court has freed up its hands and sent me to beat you, what's the matter, don't accept it? Do you still need a reason for the court to beat you?!

Therefore, Zhuge Liang's questioning of Gongsun Kang was already in his chest, and he immediately talked eloquently and debated with Gongsun Kang. Gongsun Kang's eloquence is comparable to Kong Ming, and he was speechless after only a few words. He didn't blame Kong Ming - because the envoy couldn't say this, it must have been instructed by Xunzhi, why didn't I see it that day, that is Mr. Confucianism and Wenkui image on the surface, but he looks like a gentleman, but in fact, he is like his master Cao Cao, and he is also a big hooligan?!

What kind of dog does anyone really have......

In the end, Gongsun Kang smiled miserably and said, "In this case, what can the husband say? Honor and return. "We don't have anything to say, let's see the real chapter on the battlefield.

Zhuge Liang had no choice. had to take the initiative to persuade Gongsun Kang to surrender. Shu can be the life of the whole grandson. Gongsun Kang gritted his teeth and said, "Let's tie up the Ji first." It's negotiable! ”

If this is really tied up with the rope of the Yuantu rope to Xiangping, and then Gongsun Kang is to kill him, just kill him, and then he can open the city and surrender, Zhuge Liang can't ask for it. But there is one point, what the other party said is "it can be surrendered", not "it can be surrendered", that is. Even if he gave up his life, the surrender of the Gongsun clan was not a foregone conclusion. If you kill Xiao Ji and the other party still refuses to surrender, isn't it a bamboo basket for water? Besides, although Kong Ming doesn't like Xiao Ji, if he kills Xiao Ji, he is afraid that his descendants will be unable to surrender, which makes him really dare not go down.

So he said that it was not up to me to decide, and that I had to go back and ask my husband, but as Liang expected. The gentleman may not be willing to agree. I know that Childe you hate Xiao Ji deeply, but the problem is to kill him in addition to venting his anger. It's not good for your family. Why don't you want to have some other concession conditions, and wait for me to return to Mr.

Gongsun Kang groaned for a while, and said Okay, the envoy will stay in the city for the time being, and wait for me to convene the civil and military affairs to discuss, and I will give you an answer tomorrow.

After arranging Zhuge Liang, Gongsun Kang summoned all his ministers to a meeting - Yangyi, Wang Jian, Zhang Chang and others were all present, including the new Han Yao.

When Gongsun Du returned to the light, he accused Han Yao of being a spy and asked Gongsun Kang to kill him quickly, but Gongsun Kang didn't do it - Han Yao is Yang Yi's cronies, and this kills people without real evidence, won't it chill Yang Don't drive?

And when the news of Gongsun Mo's trapped Shoushan came, Han Yao, who was unaware of the crisis that had shrouded his head, trembled even more, and showed off when he met people: Look, what did I say at the beginning? Defeat in battle! General Gongsun didn't listen to me, and even so much - do you dare to turn a deaf ear to my words?

Let's say that the ministers discussed the strategy of surrendering the war, Wang Jian and Zhang Chang had already been frightened by the situation and advocated surrender. Gongsun Kang didn't want to descend, but he couldn't figure out any good way, so he turned his head and asked Yangyi: "What do you think?" Yang Yi didn't have an idea, so she turned around and looked at Han Yao again. Han Yaoxin said that the Gongsun family surrendered, which was originally in my arms, and the problem was discussed and surrendered, so I don't see my credit. Therefore, he raised objections in a nutshell: "If you surrender without guarding, I am afraid that people will be taken lightly." ”

No matter how fierce the battle is outside, after all, this Xiangping root has not yet been armed, if this Kaicheng surrenders, it will inevitably be despised by the other party, let's try to defend the city. If you can use the city defense to withstand the attack for three or five days or even longer, and then negotiate the terms of surrender with the other side, it will be more convenient to bargain, isn't it?

According to Han Yao's thoughts, he was appointed by the envoy to sneak into Xiangping, except for making a strong wall and clearing the wilderness, he really didn't have too obvious credit, and after the war, he might be rewarded, maybe it would be discounted. Therefore, it is best for the Gongsun clan to resolutely not surrender, stick to Xiangping, and then design it in the city by itself, and the inside and outside should be combined, or steal the city gate, or kidnap Gongsun Kang...... As for how to operate it, let's figure it out when the time comes.

As a saying before, Gongsun Mo really lost the battle, and others looked at Han Yao differently, and Han Yao himself vaguely felt that he was wiser than the ovary, and he was like Huaiyin, and he was a masterpiece of the world, and his self-confidence exploded instantly.

Yang Yi didn't know much about the war, so he asked Han Yao: "Although the Youzhou army does not have 100,000, it is not less than 20,000...... The main force of the Youzhou army is now under the first mountain, and the distance is so close, if you want to find out the specific number of people, then all the scouts in Liaodong should go home and pick up their children. However, Gongsun Kang and Yang Yi didn't suspect Han Yao, they just thought that Xun Shang had other troops and horses roaming outside-"There are only 4,000 soldiers in the city today, how can they defend it?" ”

Han Yao seemed to have a bamboo in his chest, and smiled slightly: "Xiangping leans on Liang Shui with his back, and there are millions of enemies, and he can't surround him; With five attacks on one, the city is high and dense, and it is not a matter of several days. If you drive the people to help defend it, 100,000 people will be available in a moment, and there is no shortage of soldiers, equipment, and grain, so why worry about the unknown lord? ”

Xiangping is the main base of the Gongsun family, the materials from all sides are gathered, there are indeed a lot of stocks in the city, 100,000 is a boast, as long as the number of people is enough, it is not difficult to arm 10,000 or 20,000 ordinary people. However, there is not much grain in stock -- although a large amount of grain and grass has flowed into Xiangping from all directions after the strong wall has cleared the wilderness -- the original 4,000-odd soldiers can eat for a few months, but if the common people are also organized, it is estimated that they will only eat for more than a month.

It's just that I didn't want to really defend it for more than a month, and I kept it for ten days and a half, which made Shixun feel that the resistance was tenacious and not easy to fall, so let's talk to him about the conditions for opening the city, right?

Zhang Chang, Wang Jian and others refuted Han Yao and told him not to take risks, but Han Yao shook his tongue and repelled him one by one. So in the end, Gongsun Kang made a decision: "Tomorrow, let the messenger return, Yunwu will not descend." But even Han Yao didn't know, Gongsun Kang turned his face and summoned Yang Yi alone, and whispered: "Don't drive the matter of abandoning the city...... (to be continued......)

PS: I'm sorry, I'm on the yuan today, I went to my mother-in-law's house for a reunion dinner, so I rushed back, and I'll update it immediately.
