Chapter 365: Watching the Fire from the Other Shore
Liucheng.
Cao Cao has not yet retreated, and continues to camp here.
The plan to migrate the Wuhuan people, they discussed it almost the same, so they left Tian Chou behind, coordinated everything, and waited until the army returned, and then carried out the migration, and finally considered moving the population from within the Han Dynasty to the three counties of Wuhuan to supplement the shortage of population.
Not long after the plan was finalized, he got a letter from Gongsun Kang.
"Watayuki, Gongsun Kang is really like what you said."
When Cao Cao got the letter, he said in surprise: "Gongsun Kang took the initiative to send a letter, telling me that he is willing to submit to obedience, and will send Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang's heads as a letter of nomination in the near future!" β
As soon as the news came out, they seemed to be surprised.
I wasn't surprised by Chen Zhou's prophetic ability.
After all, it was not the first time that Chen Zhou had predicted correctly.
Chen Zhou said with a smile: "Congratulations to the lord, Liaodong has been decided." β
Cao Cao thought for a while and asked, "Du Zhi thinks, will Gongsun Kang be cheating?" β
Chen Zhou said: "No! β
Normally, no, unless this history is also distorted and different from what he knows.
After receiving a positive response, Cao Cao said loudly: "Come on, contact Gongsun Kang, just say that I am waiting for the head he sent, as long as the head arrives, I take the initiative to ask Your Majesty to ask for merit for Gongsun Kang, and make the marquis!" β
The people below got the order to arrange it as soon as possible, and asked people to contact Gongsun Kang.
They continued to stay in Liucheng, waiting for the heads of the Yuan brothers to return.
ββ
Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang were finally able to meet Gongsun Kang.
They were idle in the post house for many days, and asked to see Gongsun Kang many times, but they didn't get a response, but fortunately, there was finally a reply today, Yuan Shang's eyes flashed, thinking that his plan was almost about to succeed.
As long as they killed Gongsun Kang, they would have confidence and control Liaodong.
Yuan Xi shook his head helplessly, feeling that this time it was a dead death, and he couldn't persuade Yuan Shang, and he didn't know where Yuan Shang got his confidence, so he could only send them to death together, maybe this was their fate.
I don't know why, Yuan Xi suddenly thought about it, let's die, so as not to suffer so much all the time, and run around, very tired!
"Perhaps, it's a relief!"
Yuan Xi thought in his heart, and sighed again, he was indeed helpless!
At this time, the weather is gradually getting cooler.
The time entered late autumn, Liaodong is in the northeast, although it has not yet entered winter, but it has begun to snow and freeze, under the effect of the Xiaoice period, the weather is particularly cold, and before the beginning of winter, the snow will fall.
They braved the snowflakes and stepped on the snow to come to the outside of the Taishou Mansion.
"Xianfu, why don't you forget it? We may be too late to leave now! β
Before he really wanted to die, Yuan Xi was a little hesitant, hoping to persuade Yuan Shang to leave.
Walking outside the Taishou Mansion, he had a feeling that even if Yuan Shang didn't make a move today, Gongsun Kang would not let them go, but he was afraid that Gongsun Kang would admit it in front of Cao Cao and would take their heads to surrender.
Yuan Shang had already put more than 1,000 of his own people, in batches, pretending to be pedestrians into the city, lurking outside the Taishou Mansion at this time, waiting for his actions, and when the time came, more than 1,000 people would kill him and help him take charge of everything quickly.
As for how to kill Gongsun Kang and seize power, Yuan Shang was confident and confident that it would be impossible to fail.
"Second brother, what are you afraid of? Get on board! β
Yuan Shang didn't realize that danger was coming.
Fuchu.
Gongsun Kang them, sat and waited.
"Big brother, the axe hand is ready."
Gongsun Gong said.
He is the younger brother of Gongsun Kang, and together they participated in today's operation.
Gongsun Kang nodded slightly, and said: "According to my investigation, Yuan Shang has secretly arranged for his subordinates to enter the city, and you can take another 3,000 people out and eliminate all Yuan Shang's people." β
Saying that, his eyes were ruthless!
Unexpectedly, Yuan Shang still had the idea of killing himself, he hadn't really done it yet, and Yuan Shang was going to do it, so there would be no psychological pressure to send their heads to Cao Cao to surrender.
"Good!"
As soon as Gongsun Gong heard this, he immediately went out to act.
"Father, here you are!"
Gongsun Huang came back and said.
"Bring them in!"
Gongsun Kang hesitated, got up and walked out to greet him.
As soon as he arrived outside the door, he saw two tall figures, stepping on the snow, and soon came in front of him.
"Two sons, I have a lot of things to do recently, and I can't see you right away, I finally found time today, please forgive me!"
Gongsun Kang smiled heartily first, and walked over, with a sincere intention of making amends and admitting his mistakes.
Yuan Shang also smiled slightly, and said: "Gongsun is too polite, let's disturb, it's actually our fault, please forgive me!" β
As he spoke, he bowed.
Gongsun Kang smiled and took Yuan Shang's hand, signaling that there was no need to be polite, his face was full of enthusiasm, the scene seemed to be very harmonious, and said with a smile: "Two of you, it's cold outside, the stove in the house is ready, please in the house!" β
"Okay!"
Yuan Shang said, finally got a chance to get close, and immediately pulled out a dagger hidden on his body, and stabbed it at Gongsun Kang, but the sound of "bell" suddenly sounded, and the dagger seemed to be pierced on something hard.
Gongsun Kang immediately kicked Yuan Shang out, and at the same time, all the axe men who were ambushed nearby ran out and surrounded the Yuan brothers.
"This ...... Why ......"
The moment Yuan Shang saw the sword and axe, he was dumbfounded.
It turned out that Gongsun Kang had always been on guard against himself, and arranged for a knife and axe man to ambush him nearby, ready to cut him down with a knife, he walked into the trap, and felt that he could kill Gongsun Kang and seize power, so he knew how naΓ―ve his ideas were.
Yuan Xi shook his head and sighed, sure enough, just like he thought, Gongsun Kang actually didn't want to let them go.
Today, no matter whether Yuan Shang moves or not, they are also bound to die.
"Third son, do you want to kill me?"
Gongsun Kang took out a heart shield and threw it on the snow.
There was more than one heart shield tied to his body, and several pieces were thrown out by him one after another and thrown in the snow, and he was very guarded against Yuan Shang.
At this time, Gongsun Gong returned.
"Big brother, all the people of the Yuan family outside were killed by us."
As he spoke, he still looked at Yuan Shang with disdain, not taking them seriously at all.
Yuan Shang: "......"
They were defeated!
"Take it!"
Gongsun Kang shouted.
The axe men around him pressed the people to the ground and made them sit on the icy, snowy ground.
Yuan Shang was so cold that he shivered, felt that his buttocks and thighs were about to freeze, and asked cautiously: "People are not dead yet, and they can't stand the cold, can you give us a seat?" β
Gongsun Kang laughed and said: "The head has traveled thousands of miles, what is the use of the banquet?" β
Yuan Shang: "......"
Yuan Xi slowly closed his eyes, as if waiting for death.
Gongsun Kang shouted: "Come on, kill them, put the heads on them, I will go to see Prime Minister Cao in person." β
Hearing that he was really going to die, Yuan Shang was very afraid of death, his body shook sharply, and then he cried, and he couldn't imagine coming to such an end, but when he came here, he couldn't turn back, only to die!
