Xu Rong is also a native of Liaodong.

is not only a fellow villager with Gongsun Kang, but also a benefactor of the Gongsun family, although Xu Rong was not directly killed by Yang Zhao, but Xu Rong died in battle after Dong Zhuo died, which can be regarded as an indirect death in the hands of Yang Zhao.

If Yang Zhao hadn't assassinated Dong Zhuo, escaped from Luoyang, and then sent a document to crusade against Dong Zhuo and muddy this puddle of water, there would have been no follow-up of all the things.

They blamed Yang Zhao for this responsibility.

But now Yang Zhao, the army is pressing, what should they do, whether to surrender or not, etc., is just a thought.

"Lord!"

At this time, a soldier came in from outside and said, "Yang Zhao ordered someone to send a letter. ”

Gongsun Kang took the letter, opened it and looked at it, what was written on it was very simple, that is, to directly persuade Gongsun Kang to surrender and submit, if he resisted to the end, it would be okay, and then Yang Zhao would use troops against them.

The big deal is a fight!

Yang Zhao had already hit Liaodong, and he didn't care about fighting in depth.

Gongsun Kang frowned, he didn't have the confidence to defeat Yang Zhao, not at all.

"Big brother, why don't you surrender and submit?"

Gongsun Gong suddenly said: "Let's pretend to be obedient first, lower Yang Zhao's vigilance, take the opportunity to infiltrate Youzhou, and wait until our strength is almost up, and then turn against Yang Zhao to avenge Brother Xu." ”

Gongsun Kang frowned, he was very resistant to Yang Zhao in his heart, thinking about how to fight to win if he fought with Yang Zhao.

"Lord!"

At this time, someone came again.

The person who came was a general under him, and as soon as he came in, he said eagerly: "Yang Zhao's sailor, going to sea in Qingzhou, all the way across the sea, came to our east in Liaodong, hundreds of big ships, docked on the shore, will land and kill at any time." ”

"What?"

Gongsun Kang was shocked.

Yang Zhao turned out to be a sailor.

For them, going to sea is an adventurous behavior, and it is fine if they just sail along the coastline, but like Yang Zhao, many people dare not cross the sea to Liaodong.

I am also afraid of what dangers I will encounter at sea.

Gongsun Gong asked, "Yang Zhao's sailor, did you attack Dongyu?" ”

The general shook his head and said: "Not for the time being, we are all on guard in the southeast of Liaodong, afraid that they will attack us, we have also tried to send troops to drive away those water divisions, but there is a very special weapon in the water division, the sound is like thunder, the fire is splashing, it can kill many people, and the soldiers of Dongyu are repulsed and dare not provoke again." ”

Yang Zhao's weapons, they had only heard of them, but they had not seen them with their own eyes.

Gongsun Kang was even more worried, and after thinking about it for a long time, even if he didn't want to surrender, he had to make a decision, and said, "Let people go and tell Yang Zhao that we are willing to surrender." ”

He can only do what Gongsun Gong said.

Stabilize Yang Zhao first, and then find a way to take revenge.

"I'll arrange it."

Gongsun Gong said helplessly.

——

Since Yang Zhao moved the capital to Luoyang, many officials of the family also followed the Son of Heaven and returned to Luoyang again, including the Sima family.

Sima Fang led several sons, occasionally came to Luoyang to live for a period of time, three sons, respectively served under Yang Zhao, in addition to the second son Sima Yi went to Jianye to run their Sima family's plan, the eldest son Sima Lang can often return to Luoyang from Hetao, and the third son Sima Fu served as a literary peng in Luoyang.

They have not been promoted for several years.

It was as if Yang Zhao was deliberately suppressing, no matter how good their merits were, and not giving them a promotion, the fact was also that Yang Zhao was wary of them.

"Zhongda is in Jianye, and someone sent a letter back."

"The people of the Sun clan are ready to exchange the hostages in Luoyang back, once the exchange is completed, they will rebel, Zhongda has already penetrated into them, and they have won their trust, and they have eighty percent confidence in mastering the army of the Sun clan."

"The only thing we lack now is weapons, Yang Zhao's weapons, we can't get the manufacturing method, how is the situation in the Hetao, Boda?"

Sima Fang finally asked.

In the past few days, Sima Lang has returned from the Hetao area.

Every once in a while, he would come back again to learn about the situation at home, and to discuss with his father the plot, what to do next, etc., and when he heard Sima Fang's question, he said: "I have never been recognized by the Hetao garrison, their army, discipline is as strict as ever, every time I want to have a relationship with them, I will be warned, this is not against me, but everyone outside the army." ”

In other words, if you want to start with Yang Zhao's army, you basically can't do it.

It was impossible for Yang Zhao to let them do it.

"Yang Zhao's management of the army is indeed very strict, and there is a lot of discipline."

Sima Fu said: "I am a literary scholar under Yang Zhao, and I know his situation best, this person has a lot of ideas, and thinks about the people everywhere, if he is really the lord of the world, he can open a peaceful and prosperous world." ”

Yang Zhao's ability is too strong, this is not what they want, otherwise how can they rebel, how can they replace it?

"Father should know, those sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn, right?"

Sima Lang continued: "Those new crops, Yang Zhao doesn't know where they came from, the yield is super high, the part we grow in the Hetao area, the amount produced is enough for a state to eat, in addition, he has also developed a breeding industry, and the people outside can often afford to buy meat." ”

They have seen and experienced these changes with their own eyes.

They have to admire Yang Zhao.

If Yang Zhao's background can be better and replace the Han family in the future, it will be easier and more popular with the people of the world.

Sima Fang frowned, this is a fierce opponent.

"What else?"

"Yang Zhao is in Bingzhou, it seems to be mining, and the digging is still charcoal, which is said to be used to forge weapons."

Sima Lang said worriedly: "Yang Zhao's new weapons have always been very powerful, if he is allowed to forge stronger weapons, then no one in the world can stop him." ”

Sima Fu added: "Those weapons, we can't even touch them, Yang Zhao is in the Institute of Technology in Yecheng, if you want to enter, it is also extremely strict, it is said that there was an accident some time ago, after a craftsman left, he disappeared without a trace, and now it is even stricter." ”

Sima Fang paced back and forth, thinking about what should be done to realize their Sima family's ambitions.

"However, I recently received a letter from someone with a special status."

Sima Lang said suddenly.

"Who?"

"Zhang Ning, the saint of the Taiping Dao in the past!"

Sima Lang said.

Taiping Dao was defeated by Yang Zhao and destroyed for so many years, and Sima Fang also had many years and had never heard of this name.

Hearing the Holy Maiden of Taiping Dao, Sima Fang was stunned for a moment and asked, "What is written in her letters?" ”

Sima Lang said: "She said, if we want to do something to resist Yang Zhao, we can go to the west, all the way to the west, which can give our Sima family answers and opportunities, and Taiping Dao is also willing to support us." ”

Sima Fang said to himself: "The West? ”

But what can the West have?
