The small force of the Yuan clan that left from Changli had just passed through Lu Yangle, and they were discovered by the scouts under Pan Zhang's account.

After knowing that the enemy army was coming, Pan Zhang, who led the men and horses in the front, quickly surrounded him from both sides by virtue of his superiority in strength.

At dawn, an encounter began.

But in the face of the powerful Pan Zhangzhi's troops, the Yuan family, who was supposed to be demoralized, actually broke out with huge combat effectiveness in order to survive.

But like the battle of trapped beasts, it is still difficult to escape in the end.

When Pan Zhang saw the head brought by the general, he knew that it was Yuan Yi, Yuan Xi's uncle and nephew, and he was also the initiator of the Youzhou turmoil, he was very surprised.

"Just like that?"

The army was mobilized, and it was originally intended to enter Liaodong directly, in the name of breaking the rebels, and quickly decide, so as to achieve the goal of the commander Liu Qi'an in Liaodong and the surrounding counties.

Who would have thought that the remnants of the Yuan clan, who had already escaped, would be killed again, like moths to a fire.

Pan Zhang felt that there must be other inside information, and in addition to continuing to investigate the situation in Liaodong with soldiers, he quickly sent a letter to the commander Liu Qi to explain.

A day later.

Liu Qi, who was on his way to Yangle, soon received a letter from Pan Zhang.

After understanding what had happened, he looked at Guo Jia and Xun You, who were traveling with him this time, looked at the direction of Liaodong from afar, and sighed: "This Gongsun Du is really not simple, early this morning, I just sent a letter asking for surrender and offering Liaodong to make a complete return arrangement. Immediately afterwards, the news came that Yuan Yi and Yuan Xi died in the chaos.

It's really fate!

Gongda and Fengxiao, what do you two think about this? ”

During Liu Qi's inquiry, Xun You and Guo Jia, who followed on both sides, each glanced at each other.

And Xun You, who is an official in the army and is higher than Guo Jia, took the lead in speaking: "Don't hide it from you, yesterday, I was still filial piety with me, and I talked about Gongsun Duqi again.

Judging from its past performance, it belongs to the generation that can bend and stretch.

This choice, from the point of view, is very unlikely to be deceitful. He also knows the affairs of the times, and he does what he does, and it is generally for the sake of preservation! ”

"What Gongda said is exactly what he said! Envoy, my suggestion, Gongsun Du on behalf of the Gongsun family, is willing to make concessions, so that the king has the place to govern, and prevent it from being controlled. Then take advantage of this opportunity to make changes!

In addition, according to the information we received, over the past few years, Goguryeo has often attacked the Han Dynasty, and Liaodong and other places have often been disturbed.

Since the Gongsun clan can be attached this time, then take advantage of this opportunity to make Jun in Dingliaodong and other places, which is enough to calm it, so as to show the might of our side and stabilize the Hu people in the northeast periphery of the Han Dynasty! ”

Xun You and Guo Jia are both long-term visioners.

The two of them made a total on the way, and now they also complement each other, that is, to express their ideas.

After Liu Qiwen heard this, he did not retract his gaze from afar, and he bowed his head and said: "Gongda and Fengxiao's words, and it is also what I think!" Liaodong and other places have belonged to the land of China since ancient times, and the same is true of the waves and the distant ocean.

Gongsun Du and Gongsun are able to do complete work, which is excellent, with their ability and talent. Even if it is not used in Liaodong, I should also use it in other places, and in safe places.

They will ignore what they do.

In the past few years, Goguryeo has seen the decline of my Han dynasty and committed many injustices.

This military trip is also an opportunity to break it.

I will allow the establishment of some more counties and counties in Liaodong further north and east, and then manage them!

What do you think? ”

Liu Qi's idea is very simple, this time, since the army is here, the grain and grass are sufficient, and the Gongsun clan will come to worship, and the Liaodong matter can be solved smoothly. However, this rear mobilization cannot be wasted, and it is enough to break through the Goguryeo that has often come to invade the Han Dynasty over the years, and use it to open up territory.

What is done in it is a matter of course.

Guo Jia and Xu Yu have no objections.

"Make the king shengming!"

Two days passed.

Liu Qi led the rear part and arrived at Yangle.

In addition to the general Pan Zhang and other generals of their own side to greet them, Liaodong Taishou Gongsun Du actually came to the Jing Jing, and there was also a son of the Gongsun clan who accompanied him, including Liaodong vassal countries and officials of the county government of Liaodong. The attitude is not disrespectful.

Seeing this scene, Liu Qi met Pan Zhang and other generals first, praised him with words, and made a speech of celebration before he came to Gongsun Du.

Gongsun is forty years old, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and his face is a little rough, even under the scorching sun, his brows have not blinked.

Seeing Liu Qi approaching, he took the lead and bowed: "Sinner Gongsun Du, I have seen Liu Yuanjun!" ”

Liu Qi quickly stretched out his hands, helped Gongsun Du up, and sighed: "Gongsun is too conservative to a stable place, why is he guilty?" ”

He beckoned, that is, the guards next to him, and took his own scarf and draped it on Gongsun Du.

But with this trip, the Liaodong officials in the rear, as well as the children of the Gongsun clan, had a soft complexion and slowly bowed their heads.

Outside of Liu Qi's line, with this question, Gongsun Du saluted again: "The sinner did not guard the county land well, causing the traitor to step in and then escape!"

This is a crime!

In the past few years, with the Gongsun clan in Liaodong, there are many arrogances, and I have failed to restrain them, which is the second culpability!

Goguryeo has repeatedly violated the border, and I have not yet found an opportunity to break it by governing the county and assisting in the governance of Lelang, which is the third culpability! ”

On the surface, Gongsun Du's words were quite sincere, and what he said also revealed a bit of sadness.

said more than ten crimes at one time, but they all consciously avoided some major crimes that were criticized, such as Gongsun's grain storage over the years, and he had the heart of self-reliance and rebellion.

Liu Qi didn't break it directly.

This time, Gongsun Du and Gongsun had the heart to retreat, and even in the future, his famous words should be to resign from Liaodong Taishou, and Gongsun will no longer serve as the chief official in Liaodong. In fact, it is equivalent to taking the initiative to cut off the arm and seek preservation.

Therefore, they should not be too persecutive.

When Gongsun Du's words stopped and others looked at him, Liu Qi did not respond directly, but smiled heartily: "I have heard of the land of Liaodong, how beautiful women and how beautiful wine.

I don't know if I might taste one or two of this wine?

Gongsun Fujun, I am willing to go together! ”

After saying this, Liu Qi took Gongsun Du's hand, greeted the others, and then went to Yangle City together.

This scene was somewhat unexpected, and it even made the local people in Liaodong a little dazed. And Gongsun Du, who was following Liu Qi, secretly sighed.

can break Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Sun Jian, and determine the court, he is incomparable!

From today onwards, no matter what you do, it will be difficult for the Gongsun clan to have a past!

Xun You, Guo Jia and others, looking at this scene, couldn't help but stroke their beards and smile.

Regardless of Gongsun Du's plea, in order to welcome Liu Qi, Pan Zhang had already prepared a sumptuous banquet with the local clan.

When he arrived at the mansion, as Liu Qi said, the eucalyptus table was soon filled with food and wine.

After everyone arrived, Xun You, Guo Jia and other companions also sat down, Liu Qi picked up the wine bottle next to him, swept it over the faces of Gongsun Du and others who were wearing robes, and said loudly: "I have just arrived in Liaodong, and I don't care about anything else for the time being, but I will drink this wine first!" ”
