"Father! The white map is thousands of miles away from us, why should we be underestimated by others for nothing? Gan Ning dared to be so rude, why don't we ......"

At this time, Gan Ning had just left the table, and Gongsun Kang, the eldest son of Gongsun Du, immediately expressed his dissatisfaction to his father.

"Shut up, you act so impulsively, how can my father rest assured that Liaodong will be handed over to you in the future?" Gongsun Du was dissatisfied.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, during the Three Kingdoms, the Gongsun clan of Liaodong has always taken "disobedience to disobedience" as the guiding ideology......

From Gongsun Du to Gongsun Kang, Gongsun Gong, and Gongsun Yuan, they have always been reluctant to leave the northern regime, whether they surrender or rebel, and their ultimate goal is to rely on the geographical advantages of Liaodong to be their own overlord.

After all, in the hearts of many plotters in the Central Plains, their understanding of "Liaodong" is seriously insufficient, and they feel that this is a barren land with few people and cold land.

In reality, however...... At this time, Liaodong is not only Liaodong County, but also the fried seafood peninsula to the west and the northeast region...... The territory of the Goguryeo, Buyeo, and Samhan people all have room to meddle.

For example, Gongsun Kang, who will succeed to the throne in the future, although he can only wag his tail and beg for mercy to the overlords of the north, Yuan and Cao, but the first national break of Goguryeo, which has just experienced the first stage of expansion and development, is due to Gongsun Kang, and a county of land has been opened......

At this time, Gongsun Du's body was already a little weak due to old age, but in the face of his father's reprimand, Gongsun Kang still bowed his head on the surface and said: "Father has taught me a lesson." "But I don't know if I actually listen to it.

Seeing this, Gongsun Du sighed and said: "Hey, now Yuan Shao is arrogant, Cao Cao is only afraid of being unstoppable, and when the Central Plains falls, Yuan Shao will come to us sooner or later to make trouble, our Gongsun clan wants to be the king in Liaodong, one is to unite internally, and the other is not to let the princes in the south go all out to deal with us, thirdly...... It is to control the Zhuyi as much as possible! ”

Gongsun Du's judgment on the battle of Yuan Cao, although it seems ridiculous to later generations, is very reasonable for people now.

Even if it was Cao Cao's subordinate Wenwu, a few dared to pat their chests and say: We have a better chance of winning!

In history, it was also in the battle of Yuan Cao that Cao Cao killed Yuan Shao in a wave, and then allowed Yuan Shao's sons to fight among themselves, so that the Central Plains and Hebei paid little attention to Liaodong in the past few years, giving Gongsun Kang the opportunity to expand his power and stabilize his position.

"Father, according to what Nagan Ning said, the General's Mansion has already garrisoned troops in Zhouhu, will it be a threat to us?" Gongsun Gong, the second son of Gongsun Du, said in a thin voice at this time.

The reason why he has a thin throat makes people feel awkward is not because of the voice change period, but because Gongsun Gong fell ill when he was young and his third leg was amputated......

Hearing the second son speak, regret flashed in Gongsun Du's eyes...... and the hidden disgust - originally when Gongsun Gong was young, he was quite smart, but now Gongsun Du no longer needs to think about whether he is smart or not!

Especially after that, Gongsun Gong was quite conservative in terms of personality, which was "weak" in Gongsun Du's eyes, so he was even more disgusted with it.

"Second brother, rest assured, my father was just a false and wronged snake with him before! The Zhouhu people are not far from Sanhan, but if they want to come to Liaodong, I am afraid that they will have to sail for more than a month, not to mention the small physique of their southerners, who have traveled a long distance to fight us? Give away heads? Gongsun Kang said with a smile.

Gongsun Du nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, General Bai is far away from us, and General Yuan is our disaster now, since they can come to trade from afar, the most important thing is for us to take the opportunity to strengthen ourselves, and the general's little arrogance can also be tolerated...... But it's not worth the big concessions either! ”

The "big concession" refers to Gan Ning's previous proposal to "assist" Lelang County in expanding Antonjin and stationing a fleet there.

However, the Gongsun clan of Liaodong is obviously not comparable to the primitive small country of Tamluo, even if Gan Ning uses the excuse of "supporting Yuan thieves to commit at any time", it is not attractive to Gongsun Du.

Although Gongsun Du said on the surface that he would think about it, he didn't think about letting Gan Ning get his wish at all.

Gongsun Kang was relieved when he heard his father say this, and the other henchmen and generals in the tent also smiled arrogantly.

There was only one person, his face was slightly pale, and after Gongsun Du noticed it, he couldn't help but look pale, and asked with some annoyance: "What is Bo Ke's high opinion, why don't you say it and share it with us?" ”

Bo Fang is the expression of Liang Mao, that is, the titular Lelang Taishou.

This Lelang Taishou was not sealed by Gongsun Du, but appointed by the imperial court, but when passing through Liaodong, Liang Mao was detained by Gongsun Du.

The relationship between the two can be said to be if they are about to leave, Gongsun Du did not push him too much, and Liang Mao did not dare to provoke Gongsun Du too much, although he was not called "Lord Du", but he would generally help Gongsun Du to consult one or two.

"The land of Liaodong, the land is widowed and the people are thin, and the reason why General Gongsun has today's prestige is that the north is based on Xianbei, the east resists Goguryeo, and the south Fuyu...... Settle down what these aliens have gained. It is true that the General's Mansion occupies Zhouhu and cannot go on an expedition to Liaodong, but if the General's Mansion is really determined, it will use Zhouhu as a fortress to conquer Sanhan......

At that time, whether it is Baekje or Silla, how can it be the enemy of the Shogun's Palace? If the three Han are Jing, then Goguryeo and Buyeo are only in the pockets of the general's mansion, and whether General Gongsun can sit firmly in Liaodong at that time is still important? Liang Mao smiled slightly.

The tone was kept to the level that would not annoy Gongsun Du, but also really feel his ridicule!

Gongsun Du and Gongsun Kang, father and son, couldn't help but change their faces when they heard this......

That's right, the basis of their "disobedience" is not Liaodong County and Liaoxi County.

In the entire Youzhou, only Guangyang, Zhuojun, Shanggu, and Yuyang, which belonged to China in the pre-Qin period, have a larger population, but these are Yuan Shao's territories and have nothing to do with the Gongsun clan.

The second is Lelang in the north of the fried seafood peninsula, and there are barely 50,000 households.

As for western Liaoning and eastern Liaoning, the registered population is only 16,000 households, which together is only in the early 30,000s, and Xuansu County in the northeastern tip of western Liaoning is less than 10,000 households - the larger counties in the Central Plains have 10,000 households!

However, population and resources are not the focus of Liaodong, the most important thing is its "location".

During the Battle of Chibi, Gongsun Kang claimed to have more than 100,000 soldiers, almost half of the population of the four counties of Han! Because a large part of them refers to the alien armies that coerce and follow the battle, which shows its potential.

It was not until Gongsun Yuan's blatant anti-Wei self-reliance that the Liaodong regime was destroyed by Sima Yi and his troops.

Because Liaodong and Liaoxi can be said to be the Central Plains Dynasty, the bridgehead that controls the fried seafood peninsula and the northeast region.

The Gongsun clan was inconspicuous among the princes of the Han Dynasty, but after occupying Liaodong, Liaoxi, Xuansu, and Lelang as its foundation, it was able to spread its influence.

Especially during the Gongsun Kang period, it was equivalent to occupying half of Liao Province, but controlling a small half of Northeast Asia......

On the one hand, the territory of the Han dynasty has touched the limit of the mode of transportation at that time, and on the other hand, it is also the difference between working for the public and starting a business for oneself - during the Three Kingdoms period, when there was a war in China, the influence of Chinese civilization in the Northeast and the fried seafood peninsula was greatly improved, which was due to the "princes' contract".

The greater role of western and eastern Liaoning is also the corridor leading to the northeast and the fried seafood peninsula.

Without this corridor, you won't be able to get into the best room......

At the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, when the Central Plains was in turmoil, Goguryeo first seized Liaodong and Liaoxi, directly making the counties of Lelang and Obifang on the Fried Seafood Peninsula enclaves, and the climate was quickly annexed by Goguryeo.

However, Liang Mao pointed out another relative point at this time - if the General's Mansion is in a hurry, then people will change their thinking, no longer staring at Liaodong, but turning to fry the seafood peninsula...... Is there a difference whether Liaodong is strong or not?

It's equivalent to someone burning down the house with a fire, and he still wants to sell this "shared area" alone?

Zhouhu is far from Liaodong, but ...... It's very close to Samhan.

"Will the General's Mansion not take the land of the Central Plains, but worry about this bitter cold place?" Gongsun Du questioned.

Although it is the black soil and northern warehouse of later generations, for the Eastern Han Dynasty, there is nothing wrong with saying that the Northeast is a bitter cold land, even if it is Liaoxi and Liaodong, it is already much colder than other places.

Purely in terms of dimensions, the Northeast is actually fine, and London and Chicago are also in the same dimension, but ...... However, the Siberian breeze blows right over this area in winter, making its temperature more than ten degrees lower than that of the same latitude.

The Western Han Dynasty was better, but now it is a cold period, and in the absence of cheap means to protect against the cold, this place is not very popular in the eyes of agricultural civilization.

And it is far from the coldest time, when it comes to the Eastern Jin Dynasty, almost the entire Bohai Bay is frozen, and you can march on foot on the sea from Qinhuangdao to Yingkou......

Regarding Gongsun Du's self-deprecating doubts, Liang Mao just said without answering: "A certain non-white duke, I don't know Bai Gong's mind, Xu yes, Xu yes, but there is one thing you can know...... Bai Gong is different from ordinary princes, otherwise he would not have found Yizhou before, let alone come to Liaodong by sea.

Moreover, the governor of Ganning seems to have the right to recruit the navy, and he has a ...... personality Weird. All I can say is that it wouldn't be surprising if they really started with Samhan. ”

Gongsun Du and Gongsun Kang, father and son, were silent for a while.

They naturally knew that Liang Mao and them were not of the same mind, but ...... This doesn't sound unreasonable.

"What do you think we should do?" Gongsun Du stared at Liang Mao with burning eyes and said.

Seeing Gongsun Du's eyes, Liang Mao's scalp was a little numb, and he said a little more restrained: "Andong Jin is far away in Lelang, and they are allowed to garrison thousands of people, and it is impossible to sneak attack Liaodong and make the people of the General's Mansion under the surveillance of General Gongsun, and Gan Ning will probably not look down on Sanhan anymore." ”

Liang Mao and Gongsun have never been of the same mind, in the early stage of the Battle of Chibi in history, Gongsun Kang wanted to take the opportunity to sneak attack Yecheng, but was also stopped by Liang Mao, and even claimed that anti-Cao was anti-Han, reminding Gongsun Kang that he had more than 100,000 troops and Liaodong, taking advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains, and it was safe to sell at a price, but to use these hundreds of thousands of troops and Liaodong to march to Hebei and the Central Plains, it would be self-defeating.

In the end, Gongsun Kang dispelled the idea......

Regarding the relationship between Liang Mao and the Gongsun family, Tai Shici, Bing Yuan and others knew something, and naturally told Gan Ning as well.

In fact, Gan Ning and Liang Mao had a private meeting before......

When Gongsun Du heard this, Zheng Zheng stared at Liang Mao for a while and then smiled: "Haha, Bo Fang's genuine Lelang Taishou agrees, how can I stop it?" ”

mentioned Gongsun Du's mention of "Le Lang Taishou", not only Liang Mao's heart MMP, but also the atmosphere in the tent was cold for a moment......
