"Cao Zhi, the old man is surrendering to you now, do you think it is still possible?"

Gongsun Du trembled.

"Of course you can, my father and son have the heart to annex the Eight Desolations, they are broad-minded, and they can naturally tolerate a mere Liaodong Taishou!"

"It's okay if you want to surrender, but the premise is that you have to do three things for me!"

"First thing, announce your surrender to the imperial court!"

"The second thing, pass on the throne Gongsun Gong!"

"The third thing, hand over everything in Liaodong to my people, as for your henchmen, those who can be co-opted will be co-opted, and those who can't be co-opted will be dismissed, if you can't do it, kill it!"

Cao Zhi is colorful.

"As long as you do these three things, I promise, spare you from dying!"

"Of course, you can't stay in this Liaodong, after all, having you here is not good for me!"

"I'll write a letter later, and then you yourself will take hundreds of horsemen to escort you to Yecheng, as long as my father sees the letter, he will arrange for you!"

Seeing what Cao Zhi said, the head is the Tao.

At this time, Gongsun Du couldn't help but believe it.

After all, in the current situation, Cao Zhi really has no reason to lie to himself.

However, this is already the current situation.

Wouldn't it be better for Cao Zhi to kill himself directly with one sword.

Why spend so much effort to let yourself go?

In the end, Gongsun Du still expressed the doubts in his heart.

"Why?"

After listening to Gongsun Du's questioning, Cao Zhi smiled bitterly:

"Probably, I don't want to see the twilight of heroes!"

"This ......"

Seeing that Cao Zhi actually said such a reason, Gongsun Du was speechless.

If in the past, Gongsun Du would definitely laugh at Cao Zhi's hypocrisy after hearing Cao Zhi's words.

But now, Gongsun Du stopped talking.

After all, it was the hypocrisy that I couldn't look down on that saved my life.

In fact.

The reason Cao Zhi just said was indeed what he thought in his heart.

But the reason why Cao Zhi let Gongsun Du go was not because Cao Zhi thought so from the beginning.

Instead, when Cao Zhi entered Gongsun Du's room, everything was already in hand.

Cao Zhi suddenly discovered.

The hero in front of him who is sitting in Liaodong is already so old.

In addition, in Cao Zhi's memory, the historical Gongsun Du died of illness this year.

Thinking that Gongsun will die soon.

Cao Zhi simply gave Gongsun Du a way to live.

This can be regarded as the last trace of respect for Gongsun Du, a hero.

After all, it is Gongsun Du who is there.

Liaodong has always been in the hands of the Han people, and has not fallen into the hands of foreign races.

……

After making a deal with Cao Zhi.

Not a moment in time.

In the hall of the Taishou Mansion.

A meeting was convened.

In front of all the officials in Xiangping City, Gongsun Du announced three things.

The first thing is that Liaodong surrendered to the imperial court;

The second thing is that Gongsun Du passed on the throne to Gongsun Gong;

The third thing is that Gongsun Du dismissed all his henchmen and officials.

After doing all this.

Gongsun Du bowed to Cao Zhi three times.

Immediately, more than a dozen henchmen were selected, Cao Zhi's letter was taken, and went south directly.

Wait until Gongsun Du leaves.

Cao Zhi's side immediately supported Gongsun Gong to take the throne.

And Gongsun Gong also knows his current position.

Therefore, for Cao Zhi, it is called a word of obedience.

When the officials under Cao Zhi retreated, there was no one else in the entire hall.

Gongsun Gong "banged" and knelt down directly for Cao Zhi!

“？？？” Cao Zhi.

Seeing Gongsun Gong suddenly come out like this, Cao Zhi didn't understand.

"Gongzi Cao, I know that you are kind-hearted, therefore, I have a reluctant request here, and I ask Gongzi Cao to agree!" Gongsun Gong said in a deep voice.

"Reluctant to ???"

When Cao Zhi heard this, his eyes immediately narrowed.

"My reluctant request is, please Gongzi Cao accept me as a righteous son!"

Gongsun Gong said in a deep voice.

"I know that since Gongzi Cao can spare my father, then for my straw bag, Gongzi Cao will naturally not be a killer!"

"However, Cao Gongzi can't, but that doesn't mean that others won't!"

"In case someone looks at my Gongsun Gong unpleasantly in the next day and kills me, who will I find to reason with me at that time!"

"As long as I become Childe's righteous son, then no matter who kills me in the future, Childe will avenge me, after all, tiger poison does not eat children, even if it is for the sake of face, Childe will avenge me!"

Gongsun Gong said smugly.

And Cao Zhi, after hearing Gongsun Gong's words.

A black line in an instant.

looked at Gongsun Gong in front of him.

Cao Zhi couldn't help but feel depressed.

Because, at this time, Cao Zhi didn't know.

The Gongsun Gong in front of him is smart or stupid.

Call him stupid, he looks very smart;

Let's say he's smart, but he's all clever!

"Ahem...... Your idea is good, but I'm only a teenager now, and you're approaching thirty years old, so don't I take advantage of you by letting you be my adopted son? ”

Cao Zhidao.

"It's okay, I didn't regard you as my true father anyway!"

Gongsun Gong blurted out.

Halfway through the sentence, I realized that I had said the wrong thing.

Gongsun Gong hurriedly knelt on the ground again and said loudly:

"The child is wrong, please punish the father-in-law!"

Cao Zhi: "......"

Looking at Gongsun Gong in front of him, Cao Zhi finally agreed to Gongsun Gong's request.

After all, just as Gongsun Gong needs Cao Zhi as a backer, Cao Zhi also needs Gongsun Gong to help him buy the hearts of the people in Liaodong.

Seeing that Cao Zhi actually agreed to himself.

Gongsun Gong immediately knelt three times and bowed nine times to Cao Zhi.

After doing all this.

Cao Zhi looked at this time before dawn, and there was still a period of time.

After Cao Zhi gave a few words, he was ready to go to sleep!

There is no way, after a busy night, Cao Zhi is now tired and sleepy.

This night, Cao Zhi slept very soundly.

Wait until the sun rises to three poles.

When his stomach was rumbling with hunger, Cao Zhi woke up from his sleep.

The intimate maid wanted to come when she saw Cao Zhi.

Hurriedly waited for Cao Zhi to wash.

After Cao Zhi finished washing, another maid served several delicious dishes for Cao Zhi to enjoy.

Look at the table full of food.

Cao Zhi then remembered that he hadn't eaten a formal meal for several months!

"Come on, go and invite General Cao and General Mu Lan, and say that I will invite the two of them over for dinner!" Cao Zhi said.

However, Cao Zhi's order had just been issued.

Cao Zhang walked in in a hurry.

"Zijian, it's a big deal!"

As soon as he saw Cao Zhi, Cao Zhang said anxiously:

"Zijian, just now there is news from the Beicheng City Gate Order, saying that outside the city, there are a large number of cavalry, looking at their number, it is roughly estimated that there are 200,000 people!"

"What, 200,000 people, can you find out where these people came from, could it be that they are from Gongsun Du?" Cao Zhi was shocked.

"It's not Gongsun Du's people, look at the flag, they are Goguryeo people!" Cao Zhangdao.

"What, Goguryeo !!"

Listening to Cao Zhang's words, Cao Zhi's face changed greatly.
