From Feng Yu's view of the sea, you can see a city towering on the coast. This coast is obviously different from Feng Yu's "heading on Jieshi in the east". There are no turbulent waves or rugged reefs. There are only fine beaches with gentle waves.

This city is Liekou County, one of the seven counties of Daifang County. Gongsun Dan, the current prefect of Daifang County, was walking back and forth on the city wall with his hands behind his back, looking thoughtful. He was also following several staff members.

Daifang County was originally a large piece of wasteland drawn out by the Gongsun family of Northern Yan from the southern part of Lelang County, and several counties were established in it to build a county to make it a county. The purpose of the Gongsun family was to control the increasingly unrestrained tribes in the south of Lelang County.

Later, Cao Wei defeated the King of Yan Gongsun Du, and he took the bag together with the Bianfang County. However, in order to effectively rule Haidong, Cao Cao still had to select personnel from the Gongsun family and act as important officials in various counties and counties.

After all, the Gongsun family is the only Han people in the entire Haidong region that can suppress the overall situation. If someone else comes to rule Liaodong, I am afraid that there will be no peace for a day, and the government orders will not be able to leave the capital.

When Gongsun Du was recommended by Xu Rong and was named the prefect of Liaodong County by Dong Zhuo, he had the opportunity to become the later King of Northern Yan. But if he had not been surnamed Gongsun, he would not have achieved such a success with just a document from Dong Zhuo. In fact, the entire Bohai Sea and the coast of Lelang Sea, except for the land of the Three Hans. When it comes to the word Gongsun, it is very well-known.

However, Cao Cao was not too worried about this, because the Gongsun family, a big family that had been reproduced in Liaodong for more than a dozen generations, was too big, so that there was no strong man like Gongsun Du among the various branches. Therefore, their influence was limited to the places where each branch family was located. The facts did not disappoint Cao Cao. In the years after the defeat of Gongsun Du, the Gongsun family in Liaodong was obedient to Cao Wei, without any manifestation of usurpation and rebellion.

However, in the past few years, Cao Wei focused all his attention on the Central Plains and the heroes, and basically had no energy to govern this distant border county. When Cao Pi ascended the throne, it was even more impossible to effectively rule the Dafang county. In the eighth year of Xiuwu, with the large-scale invasion of the Daliang Beifu army of Lu Bu's Daliang Beifu army on the coast of the Whale Sea and Liaodong, the various divisions of the Dongyi Hu who were unwilling to surrender to the Beifu army, including the Fuyu people, the Xianbei people, the Wuhuan people, the Goguryeo people, etc., fled south one after another. This triggered a great national migration.

This large-scale migration triggered a drastic change in the population structure of the eastern Haidong region of Liaodong. A large number of Dongyi tribes that flocked to the four counties in Liaodong did not obey the county and county management, and even captured cities and plundered land, killed officials and captured people. There was no other way around the Daofang county located in the southernmost part.

Gongsun Dan, the prefect of Daofang County, had been cut off contact with Cao Wei Yecheng for a long time. In fact, even if it was connected, it was meaningless. Cao Wei could not withdraw troops to reinforce Liaodong at this time, and in fact he had given up Liaodong. The four county magistrates, including Gongsun Dan, were already in a state of actual independence.

Later, the news of the Liang army defeating the Wei army in the southern wilderness of Yecheng reached Liaodong. Gongsun Dan immediately sent someone to send a surrender to Feng Yu, the emperor of Daliang, expressing his willingness to surrender to Daliang, and also expressed his hope that Feng Yu would send a large army to the garrison. If it were in previous years, no one would have hoped that other people's troops would be stationed on his territory. But Gongsun Dan is now in a panic. His actual dominance is limited to two coastal cities - Liekou and Nanxin. The rest of the places have long been occupied by various Hu cavalrymen who went south. From time to time, large groups of cavalrymen can be seen galloping by in the wilderness. They have both Hu cavalry and cavalry of the Northern Prefecture Army.

Shortly after Gongsun Dan sent a letter of surrender to Daliang, he heard an astonishing news. A fleet of about five or six hundred sea boats suddenly appeared on the surface of Lelang Sea near Nanxin City. They captured Nanxin City with lightning speed.

Later, before Gongsun Dan could send someone to inquire about the details, the owner of the troops asked the county officials in Nanxincheng to bring a letter to Gongsun Dan.

Gongsun Dan opened the letter and was even more stunned. He had guessed that the army was attacked by Liang army or a certain Japanese country, but he never expected that the army that came was a remnant of Wei State that had been destroyed in the Central Plains, and the Emperor Cao Pi of Wei was also among them.

This was a Wei army with about 8,000 troops and horses, most of which were infantry, with a small number of elite Wei cavalry, tiger and leopard cavalry. This force was nothing, but the eight thousand troops were not only enough to attack Liekou City where Gongsun Dan was located and take off his head. It was also enough to be king and dominate within a radius of hundreds of miles of the county.

The letter said that Gongsun Dan was asked to go to Nanxincheng to meet Cao Pi in person, but did not say what was the purpose of Cao Pi coming to the deck. Gongsun Dan immediately felt a thumping heart and fell into a dilemma.

Gongsun Dan knew that in terms of time, it was unlikely that Cao Pi knew that he had sent a surrender to the Liang army and intended to surrender to Daliang. Even so, he was unwilling to risk going to Nanxin City. As soon as he entered Nanxin City, he would be like a fish that Cao Pi could slaughter. Even if Cao Pi did not kill him, he would take him hostage, so that he could control Liekou City and even the Dafang County. It was possible that a down-and-out exile king would do anything.

But if he didn't go, the Wei army would be more likely to send troops directly to attack. Even if he defended Gucheng, how many days would he be able to defend under the long-term siege of the eight thousand Wei army? In the end, his aides gave him an idea - to unite Baekje's country and defend Gucheng. If the Wei army really came to attack Liekou City, he would ask Baekje's Fuyu cavalry to help him attack inside and outside, defeat the Wei army, and unleash the siege of Liekou.

Baekje was originally one of the fifty-four countries of Mahan. Although it was called a country, like the other three Han countries, it was just a city-state with one city and several cities, centered on tribal clans. It was similar to the ancient square countries in the Shang and Zhou dynasties of China.

However, this Baekje country is different from the other Mahan tribes. Because it has been conquered by the Fuyu people who went south, its ruling class is not the natives of Mahan, but the Fuyu people. The current Baekje king's surname is the clan title == Fuyu, named Qiushou. Fuyu Qiushou happily agreed to Gongsun Dan's request--as long as the Wei army besieged Liekou City, the cavalry of the Fuyu people would rush to help from Weili City and attack the Wei army from behind.

Based on Gongsun Dan's understanding of the people of Baekje, there was no problem with their credit. So he immediately began to strengthen the city defense of Liekou City, reorganize his troops to prepare for war, and wait for the Wei army to attack.

Unexpectedly, Gongsun Dan waited for the rest of the world, but did not happen as he expected. The Wei army did not come to attack Liekou City, which was 300 miles away. Instead, he used Nanxin City as a base to attack Mahan city-states within a radius of 100 miles, Hu camps and other places to attack the south. He even robbed people and robbed food. At first, Gongsun Dan thought that the Wei army had insufficient food and grass, so he had to solve the urgent problem first. However, after a few months, there was still no movement, which made Gongsun Dan puzzled.
