Chapter Seventy-Six: Stepping on the Immortal Island

Although Gongsun Du was furious, he was calm, thinking about it, there might be only one person who could provoke him so blatantly in the Northland, Li Tian, a merchant from Immortal Island!

The four counties of Liaodong were suddenly occupied, and the first thing he denied was Xianren Island, but at this time, he calmed down and found that the surrounding princes, except for Goguryeo, had the ability to attack these four counties, but in fact, only Xianren Island.

Why did you consider Gongsun Chan in the first place?

Gongsun Zhan's strength was originally above him, although in recent years, Gongsun Zhan's strength has sunset, and he has suffered several defeats in the hands of Yuan Shao and Liu Yu's former subordinates in Jizhou, but it does not damage his strength at all, and there are still more than 100,000 elite soldiers and horses under his command.

And Pingguo City in the four counties is not a big city, in fact, it is not very important in Liaodong County, and Xiangping is separated by several counties, but since he set up the port to Qingzhou in Pingguo, Pingguo is an important throat of Liaodong to the Central Plains.

Liaodong has always been a bitter cold place, many things are lacking, there is not much food in Youzhou, and Gongsun Chan is always thinking about Liaodong, naturally he will not sell grain to him, so Gongsun Du will not hesitate to make warships, cross the sea to seize Donglai County, as a port connecting the Central Plains, Pingguo is the throat of this channel, without Pingguo, Liaodong will not be able to connect the Central Plains.

But now that I calmed down and thought about it, I realized that it should be Immortal Island, after all, neither Gongsun Chan nor Yuan Shao had the ability to attack across the sea!

But after Xianren Island unknowingly had many warships, Gongsun Du found that his warships could not leave the port at all, and were sealed in the port by Xianren Island, fortunately, Xianren Island didn't seem to care about cultivating opponents, and the materials he wanted could actually be traded from the merchants of Xianren Island to get the materials he wanted, although the price was a little more expensive, but the quantity was sufficient, and he could trade as many as he wanted, even weapons!

At this time, Hou Gongsun Du found that a small island around him had the ability to threaten him, so he tried every means to find out the news of Xianren Island, and accidentally heard that Sanhan was destroyed by Xianren Island two months ago, and a large number of warships seemed to have been transferred to Sanhan.

Gongsun Du only moved his mind, secretly connected Goguryeo, took advantage of the unstable rule of Xianren Island, and raided the Sanhan region together, as long as a large number of living forces of Xianren Island were wiped out and its warships were seized, and Gongsun Du judged that Xianren Island had more than 20,000 troops stationed in the Sanhan area, as well as a large number of warships, then the defense force of Xianren Island may be very small, after all, how many people can be supported by a small island, how many troops can be stationed, and secretly inquired and found that there are indeed a lot fewer warships that often haunt Pingguo Port, which confirms his judgment。

This is the action of secretly connecting Goguryeo, the territory belongs to Goguryeo, and the warship belongs to himself!

If it is confirmed that it is really the Immortal Island, then it is necessary to reassess the strength of the Immortal Island, maybe the Immortal Island is just a coward, they have another bigger island, and more troops can attack these four counties!

Thinking of this, Gongsun Du solemnly said his thoughts.

Yang Yi said solemnly: "Lord, it seems that we have underestimated the merchant power of Xianren Island, and we actually have the courage to attack us, it is very likely that this guess is correct, Goguryeo is currently in an alliance with us for the time being, for the sake of the territory of Sanhan, they will not attack us so unwisely for the time being, and it is impossible for them to attack the four counties unknowingly!"

"It's not good, since the other party has the ability to do this, W County is in danger!

Everyone present suddenly changed color, Gongsun Du heard that an incredible light burst out of his eyes and then he was stunned, Yang Yi continued to whisper: "It seems that we all despise the merchant Li Tian of Immortal Island too much, and attack the four counties, I am afraid that we are not satisfied with Immortal Island, I am afraid that we are in Liaodong, and want to seize Liaodong!"

"Capture Liaodong? What a Li Tian, I didn't expect that he was just a businessman, and he valued trade with us, but I didn't expect him to have such great ambitions. ”

When Gongsun Du heard this, his eyes instantly became cold, and there was a hazy smile on the corner of his mouth, and he said coldly: "A mere businessman doesn't stay on Xianren Island, and he actually came to seize my Liaodong, hmph, could he Li Tianzhen be a bully of a certain Gongsun Du." ”

Li Tian is not only a merchant, although he has a way to make money, he is rich and rivals the country, and there may be tens of thousands of soldiers and horses and a large number of warships under his command, but in the territory of Liaodong, his Gongsun Du is the king, and he does not believe that Li Tian still has the ability to capture Liaodong after the army in the Sanhan region is wiped out.

"Lord, Immortal Island is really too deceitful, it just so happens that now they have gained a foothold in the four counties, we must take advantage of his unstable foothold to recapture the four counties, and let them know how powerful our Liaodong sons are. ”

"My lord, we are willing to be the vanguard and set foot on the Immortal Island. ”

"If a businessman dares to kill General Fang, he will be killed. β€œ

When several Liaodong generals heard this, their eyes were a little fierce, and they said indignantly one by one, in this era, there is no deep regional dispute, and Liaodong is naturally angry when Xianren Island is coming.

These Liaodong generals have defeated Liu Yu in the south and Goguryeo in the northeast not long after, and they have a strong fighting spirit.

"Hmph, what the generals said is right, Immortal Island is too deceitful, when it comes to war, who wants to go to war? Cut off Li Tianren's head for a certain family?" Gongsun Du's eyes were cold, and a murderous aura burst out, and he shouted coldly.

"We are willing to fight!"

The generals strode out, knelt down on one knee, and said respectfully.

"The lord, please think twice, from a series of actions, it can be seen that Li Tian is not a general, and now it is a cold winter, it is not suitable for a big war, the four counties were originally far away, and now it has been snowing for several days in a row, the ice and snow are blocking the road, and the road is difficult to walk, once the war is not smooth, the grain road is broken, we are in trouble, and we do not have enough grain and grass to go to war. Yang Yi groaned for a while, shook his head, walked up, and persuaded in a low voice.

"Do you want to watch Li Tianyi and the merchants occupy Liaodong?" Gongsun Du was furious.

"The subordinates don't mean this, it's just ......" Yang Yi's eyes moved slightly, a little bitter, he also wanted to fight, but in this weather, there is no food, where does the food come from to start a war.

"Gao Lie, what do you think?" Although Gongsun Du was very annoyed, as a prince, he still understood his current situation, Liaodong, food is definitely the biggest gap.

After he fell silent, he looked at a general beside him and asked.

"Lord, the four counties are absolutely not to be lost, if the four counties are lost, Li Tian will be able to stand in the footsteps of Liaodong, and they will continue to land, in this way, Liaodong will be chaotic, but after we conquered Goguryeo last year, the vitality has not recovered, and it is not suitable to fight for a long time, so when the battle, and when the victory is a blow, a quick battle. ”

Gao Lie, a nine-foot-tall, strong bear, bearded man, wearing armor, is the only true Yuan Realm general in Liaodong, and is the first fierce general under Gongsun Du.

"Quick fix?"

Gongsun Du squinted, stood up, stared at the heavy snow falling on the sky outside, pondered for a moment, and then made a decision, and said loudly: "Gao Lie's words are right, a quick battle, the four counties must not be lost." ”

"No!"

"Gao Lie, Chen Tong, I now order you to send 15,000 troops each, and within a month, recapture the four counties, can you do it?" Gongsun Du looked at the big man, his eyes were cold, and he said loudly.

Gao Lie came from a humble background and had no words in his own right.

"No!"

"A certain family will not let the lord down, cut off the merchant's head and give the lord a drink"

The second general came out of the ranks, Gao Lie was upright and taciturn, and he didn't say much determination, just a simple word that already represented his determination
