Gongsun Du originally wanted to escape from the city when Lu Bu's army moved to the camp in chaos, but seeing that Lu Bu's camp was in order, he did not dare to leave the city.

A few days later, heavy rain stopped and floods receded. The troops of Goguryeo, Fuyu and Baekje, which had been retreating to the high places, retreated and surrounded Xiangping City. Seeing that the weather was sunny and it was easy to use the crossbow and arrows, Lu Bu began to attack the city.

Lu Bu recruited the generals of Goguryeo, Fuyu, and Baekje to blame them for their crime of moving to the camp without authorization. Goguryeo, Fuyu, and Baekje had seen the military power of Lu Bu's central military orders and also saw Lu Bu's fierce weapons. They all trembled and kowtowed and apologized.

Lu Bu asked them to attack the city, let them wash away the resentment of being bullied by Gongsun Du, and promised to reward them with gold and silver according to the reward standards of the Central Army. The morale of Goguryeo, Fuyu and Baekje was greatly boosted, and they were willing to be a front-line for the official army of the central power and attack the city first.

Under the cover of Lu Bu's powerful crossbow soldiers and thunder chariot soldiers, the infantry of Goguryeo, Fuyu, and Baekje carried out a siege of Xiangping City day and night. Although the soldiers of Goguryeo, Fuyu, and Baekje were very poor in combat, the Liaodong army's ability to defend the city was also very average. With Lu Bu's powerful long-range attack soldiers, Xiangping City was in danger.

Seeing that many soldiers were killed and injured, Gongsun Du was frightened and sent Liu Yi to serve as an envoy again, hoping to cancel the cemetery and seek peace.

Lu Bu beheaded Liu Yi and posted a message to scold: "You Gongsun Du is just a rebel minister who was in the separatist rebellion. He dares to negotiate terms with me and will not surrender!"

Gongsun Du was unwilling to give up and sent someone to request a date to send the hostages.

Lu Bu said to the envoy: "There are five major things to fight: if you can fight, you should fight, you should defend, you should leave. If you cannot defend, you should die, you should surrender and die. If Gongsun Du refused to tie himself up and apologize for guilt, he would be determined to seek death and he would not need to send hostages."

Gongsun Du was forced into a desperate situation by Lu Bu, and said ruthlessly: "Immediately send an order, all the young and strong in the city will go to the city wall to defend the city! Those who violate the order will be killed!"

Gongsun Kang offered advice to Gongsun Du and spread rumors in Xiangping City that Lu Bu would definitely massacre the city after breaking Xiangping City. Everyone in Xiangping City was in danger. Those young and strong men spontaneously went up to defend the city. There were more than 30,000 defenders in Xiangping City, and Lu Bu's offensive to attack Xiangping City was suddenly stagnant.

Lu Bu looked at Xiangping City from afar. This is the largest city in Liaodong. Gongsun Du and his son have been working here for four years and have been continuously strengthened. The city is three meters high and two meters thick. The city walls have gate towers and corner towers, and more than 40,000 Liaodong troops are waiting for battle.

The troops of Goguryeo, Fuyu and Baekje have lost more than 30% of the siege in the past few days. They are lazy and afraid of death and refuse to continue to attack the city.

There are less than 20,000 infantry under Lu Bu's men who can be used as siege, and the rest are all cavalry, and they are invincible in field battles. However, the siege force is not captured. Lu Bu used the method of digging tunnels that broke through Yi Jing several months ago. Unexpectedly, Gongsun Du heard about the reason for the destruction of Gongsun Zan and strictly prevented Lu Bu from digging tunnels.

Gongsun Du ordered people to bury water tanks underground, wrap them with cowhides. When the Central Army used hoes to dig tunnels, they could hear it clearly within a certain distance. When the Liaodong Army discovered the direction of the Central Army digging tunnels, they dug one horizontally, set fire to the hole and poured water, and sometimes buried iron plates in advance.

Lu Bu's tactic of digging tunnels was immediately broken, and thousands of infantrymen were damaged.

When Lu Bu was worried, Liu Zheng came back from Fuyu on an envoy and brought someone, Li Min, the former famous Liaodong scholar.

Li Min was dissatisfied with Gongsun Du's behavior of separatism and independence, so he refused to cooperate with Gongsun Du and went to sea to avoid disaster with his family. Gongsun Du hated Li Min's failure to cooperate with him, so he dug out Li Min's father's grave, burned Li Min's father's body, and killed Li Min's clan.

Li Min hated Gongsun Du deeply. He had gone to Goguryeo, Fuyu, Baekje, Xianbei, and Wuhuan to seek strength to deal with Gongsun Du. Those forces were powerless to do anything to Gongsun Du. When Li Min was almost desperate, Lu Bu came to attack Gongsun Du.

Li Min was in Fuyu at that time. When he heard that Lu Bu was besieging Gongsun Du, he went to visit the Han mission. Kong Rong had never understood military strategies, so he handed Li Min over to Liu Zheng. When Liu Zheng learned about Li Min's life, he thought that Li Min would be helpful to the lord's destruction of Xiangping City, so he quickly took Li Min to see Lu Bu.

After Li Min saw Lu Bu, Natou bowed: "Thank you, General for avenging the villain!"

Lu Bu helped him up and asked in surprise: "Xiangping City has not yet been broken, how do you know I can avenge you?"

Li Min's family feud is about to be repaid, and she is very happy and smiles: "General, do you know the scene of Gongsun Du coming to Xiangping for the first time?"

Lu Bu seemed to have realized something: "Justice Gongsun Du just took office as the prefect of Liaodong, so he killed the original Xiangping Order Gongsun Zhao, and destroyed more than 100 families in Liaodong County. Do you want to say that those remaining clan members of the family can work together with us?"

Li Min shook her head gently and said, "Then Gongsun Du was vicious. Once he killed someone, he would destroy the whole family and eliminate the roots. Among the more than 100 families he killed in Liaodong, the luckiest one was the villain's family. I'm afraid it would be difficult for us to find the surviving families of those families.

What the villain wants to say is that the Xiangping Order Gongsun Zhao was once a friend of the villain. He had a grudge with Gongsun Du before. When he learned that Gongsun Du was going to take office as the prefect of Liaodong, he dug an authentic tunnel in Xiangping City to the outside of the city, hoping to escape. Only Gongsun Zhao and I knew about this authentic tunnel. Unexpectedly, Gongsun Du ignored anything and killed Gongsun Zhao as soon as he met. Gongsun Zhao had no chance to escape."

Lu Bu ordered the Baier Army to tie Chen Dao to hundreds of people near Xiangping to ask them carefully about what happened four years ago. Li Min did not lie. Lu Bu asked Chen Dao and Yu Jin to lead 4,000 elite infantrymen along the tunnel of Gongsun Zhaoxiu that Li Min mentioned, and went into the old manor cellar outside the city. The tunnel was winding and winding to the bottom of the Xiangyang Order's yamen.

That night, Chen Dao led two thousand Baier soldiers, and Yu Jin led two thousand Qingzhou soldiers into Xiangping City, and captured the city gates on all sides. The Lu Bu cavalry, who had been waiting for a long time, swept in.

Seeing that this was not good, Gongsun Du led his son Gongsun Kang. Gongsun Gong wanted to rush out of the east gate and go to Fuyu Kingdom. After all, the princess of Fuyu Kingdom was his niece, but he forgot that the people from Fuyu Kingdom participated in the besiege of Xiangping City this time.

Gongsun Du and his son fled, and the defenders in the city were headless and fell into complete chaos. The north, south and west were surrounded by Lu Bu's army. Some of them fled with Gongsun Du, and most of them chose to surrender.

Because Lu Bu knew about the rumors of massacre that Gongsun Kang had circulated before, the first thing he did after he broke through Xiangping City was that all the soldiers of the Central Army shouted loudly: "Surrender and avoid death, kill innocent people indiscriminately!" Some Goguryeo, Fuyu, Baekje, and Wuhuan soldiers wanted to kill innocent people indiscriminately, burn, kill and loot, and were executed by the military police inspected by Lu Bu. Lu Bu also attracted Goguryeo, Fuyu, Baekje, and Wuhuan generals apologized and compensated the innocent Xiangping people.

Some foreign generals were dissatisfied with Lu Bu's harshness and wanted to take advantage of the situation to launch a rebellion. They were severely suppressed by Lu Bu. The rebel generals were demoted to slaves and were incorporated by Tianchou's Youzhou Construction Corps. Similarly, those Liaodong prisoners who were loyal to Gongsun Du and his son were demoted to serfs.

After dawn, Lu Bu's army completely took control of Xiangping City.

But Lu Bu was not idle. He led Zhao Yun and Taishi Ci led 10,000 elite cavalry to chase Gongsun Du, and finally caught up with Gongsun Du and his son by the Liangshui River.

Gongsun Du looked at the vast and wide Liang Shui in front of him, and then looked back at the murderous Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, and Taishi Ci, who were in the air. He felt cold in his heart. He pretended to be calm and sneered: "Lu Bu, you are a common man named as the assistant minister of the Han Dynasty, but he is actually a traitor who usurped the country!!"

Lu Bu was too lazy to pay attention to him, but just looked at Gongsun Du coldly.

Gongsun Kang was worried that Lu Bu would kill his father in anger, so he stepped forward and blocked Gongsun Du: "Father, run away quickly!"

Gongsun Kang cursed at Lu Bu again: "We father and son guard the frontier for the Han Dynasty, attacked Goguryeo in the south, and Wuhuan in the north, and were loyal to the Han Dynasty. But you led those foreign races to deal with us. You are the traitor of the Han Dynasty! You are the traitor who treasoned the country!"

Lu Bu was furious and was about to step forward. Taishi Cizi immediately stepped forward and said to Lu Bu: "Lord, don't mess your hands with these thieves!"

Taishici held the steel gun tightly and said calmly: "Don't talk nonsense, only those who are virtuous in the world will live!" After that, he pushed his gun straight to Gongsun Kang.

Gongsun Kang had no time to talk more, so he raised his sword to block it. Taishi Ci fought with him for a long time, so he separated Gongsun Kang's big sword and stabbed Gongsun Kang's shoulder with a shot. Gongsun Du behind saw his son Gongsun Kang being injured and waved his big sword to reinforce. Although Gongsun Gong was frightened and trembled all over, he had to wave the big sword to help.

Lu Bu shouted: "Fight quickly! Go back to the city early!"

After saying that, a red rabbit horse waved Fang Tian Hua Ji, and a red lightning flashed past Gongsun Du. Gongsun Du's eyes widened in horror and fell under the horse with a pounce. It turned out that Lu Bu's halberd pierced Gongsun Du's throat.

When Gongsun Kang and Gongsun Gong saw their father, they were stabbed by Lu Bu. Their hearts were shaken. Zhao Yun and Taishi Ci both spears were launched. Gongsun Kang and Gongsun Gong were also stabbed and went to meet with their father.

In history, Sima Yi conquered Xiangping City, slaughtered more than 7,000 men over fifteen years old, collected corpses, built Jingguan, beheaded all the ministers appointed by Gongsun Yuan, and killed more than 2,000 including General Bi Sheng.

Lu Bu's methods were not that bloody. Now construction is needed everywhere. The most lack of manpower. Liaodong people who are willing to surrender but do not have historical stains are all in their own positions. They either distribute land as self-cultivated farmers or sell shops as merchants. Those who refuse to surrender or have historical stains are organized into the Liaodong Construction Brigade of the Youzhou Construction Corps for hard labor.
