Chapter twenty-six, why three strategies

The next day, Gongsun Kang summoned Zhuge Liang and told him that my family was willing to surrender, but he must ask the envoy to submit a report to the court and first agreed three conditions. "Kongming Dao listened attentively, Gongsun Kang then pulled his fingers and explained one by one with a deep face:

"First, behead the Bing Ji to sacrifice first; second, pardon the crimes of my father and son; third, Yun inherited the title and served as the governor of Pingzhou. If he agreed, Kang would open the city to welcome the army to enter."

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but sneer: "Young Master is so stubborn, I can't obey your orders - say goodbye!"

When Gongsun Kang put forward these three conditions, he obviously did not have the sincerity to surrender. Whether you want to kill Jiang Ji or to ask the court to pardon Gongsun and his son, although it is a honor, he may not agree, and he will eventually "ask for a price everywhere and pay the money on the spot" and can continue negotiations. The problem is that he also demands to be the governor of Pingzhou, and still wants to stay in Liaodong - what is the purpose of consuming countless food and fodder and the army attacking to the death? Is it a pity to just demote the governor of the state to the governor? How is that right!

Before Zhuge Liang came, Shi Xun gave him the condition that he could ensure the personal safety of Gongsun and his son, and not be killed. As long as they surrender honestly and go to Xudu to apologize, perhaps even the title can be preserved. Another thing to say is that it is even more impossible to think about sending it to take charge of the local area.

Therefore, Gongsun Kangti's three, especially the third condition, came out, which was to express tactfully: We will not surrender, let's fight. Zhuge Liang knew that since the other party had made up his mind, it would be meaningless to persuade him, so he angrily resigned and returned to the camp at the foot of Shoushan Mountain to report.

After saying the story of the mission, Shixun had not yet reacted, and Zheng Ji clapped his hands: "Gongsun wants to escape!" The boy wanted to escape!

Why did he make such a judgment? Jiang Ji continued to explain. If Gongsun Kang tried to defend Xiangping City and wait for the changes in the current situation, he would have to encourage and mobilize the hearts of the people in the city to the greatest extent, and would never reveal the fact that Gongsun Du was dead. Gongsun Du had been in Liaodong for a long time and had a high prestige. He had his braids at this critical moment, which would definitely affect the morale of the people in the city. How could he drive them to defend the city? Gongsun Kang refused to conceal this matter, and his only intention was to determine the head of the Gongsun family as soon as possible and also the lord of Liaodong.

If Gongsun Kang intends to surrender and has no ambition to defend the city, then he will immediately mourn his father, which is within an understandable range. However, after Kong Ming retells the conditions proposed by Gongsun Kang, he clearly does not want to surrender, and does not want to surrender but cannot defend him, then he can only have the possibility of abandoning the city and escaping.

If you give up the root and leave desperately, people's hearts will be dispersed. Therefore, you must first determine the status of Gongsun Kang's family leader, and you can still win over some of your confidants in a small range.

After Zheng Ji's explanation, Shixun understood immediately. Zhuge Liang next to him also said, "My intention is the same. Kang Bu immediately refused. He told the group of officials to confuse me." He pretended to ask me to wait for one more night, saying that he wanted to convene his subordinates to discuss, but in fact we mistakenly thought that he still had a certain intention to surrender, and could still use negotiations or early battles to prompt him to change the plan. In fact, he had already made up his mind to escape!

As expected by Zheng Ji and Zhuge Liang, they were not bad. In fact, when Gongsun Du was dying, they secretly took care of Gongsun Kang, saying that if Gongsun Mo defeated and returned, Xiangping might still be able to defend him. If Gongsun Mo was defeated, Xiangping might be difficult to maintain. If you firmly defend the city, our Gongsun family would be destroyed. For the sake of the present, we can only take a step back temporarily, abandon the city and leave, and wait for future development.

Gongsun Kang was shocked and frightened when he heard this, so he asked his father, where would his son go? Gongsun Du said you have two ways to go - "The best strategy is to go south to Lelang to join Liu Zigang. Lelang has the water and is separated from the mainland, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but the Youzhou army is exhausted. If I am this honor, I will not be rushing to chase you. Then Xu Tu will gather together, collect the three Hans in the south, and take the turf in the east, and it will be difficult to return to Liaodong again, and you can also be the king of the peninsula." It would be better to simply throw Liaodong and become the king of the peninsula.

Gongsun Du said that although this is the best strategy, there are two major risks: "First, I am afraid that Liu Yi will turn against the servant, so I must be vigilant; second, be careful not to leak it out. If Xun blocks the road to Runan, you must not go." First, you must be alert to the real power Liu Yi who put you in a weak position and even kills the master and becomes independent. I know Liu Zigang, who is more capable than Yang Yi, but his loyalty is not as loyal as Yang Yi. In addition, if the plan to go south is expected by Xun in advance and sends troops to defend various dangerous passes, you probably won't be able to get through.

So after learning the news of the defeat in Shoushan, Gongsun Kang had already decided to abandon the city and immediately mourned his father to determine the status of the lord of Liaodong. When receiving Zhuge Liang, he pretended to be hesitant, and his purpose was to paralyze the Youzhou army and not to suspect that he had the intention to escape. As for really summoning the ministers to discuss, Gongsun Kang wanted to tell me, who was so brave that he was determined to surrender, which was very useful. I would not take this guy when I ran away, just to prevent them from dragging me back, and to prevent them from being scared for a moment and revealing my whereabouts to Shixun.

As a result, Zhang Chang, Wang Jian and other ministers all expressed their surrender. Only Yang Yi was unable to make up his mind and did not express any opinions. Han Yao firmly asked to try defending the city first. So Gongsun Kang secretly summoned Yang Yi after the meeting and said, "You should prepare for evacuation quickly. I will not bring any bastards, so let them seek wealth from the Cao family. Only Gong Li and Zhiyu are indeed loyal ministers. I must take you with me.

But Gongsun Kang did not expect that Zheng Ji and Zhuge Liang were both wise men who knew the details of his mourning for his father. From the small details of his mourning, he guessed his entire plan. Therefore, Xun hurriedly sent Qin Yi and others to lead several Wuhuan cavalry, hurriedly advanced eastward, scattered south of the Daliang River to search for Gongsun Kang's journey.

The local development in Liaodong was late, and three-quarters of the population and arable land were concentrated between Xiangping and Wen County, which is what later generations called the "Liaohe Plain". The east of the county was mostly hilly and dense forests were endless. The only way to connect to Lelang was to travel south from the Daliang River, passing Xi'anping to Fanhan. To the south of Fanhan County was the natural boundary of the two counties, namely the Qingchuan River in later generations. After passing the Qingshui River, it was the Lelang territory.

So Xun first sent cavalry to block this road, so Gongsun Kangshi would have no choice but to go south.

As expected, on the evening of the day when Zhuge Liang returned to the foot of Shoushan Mountain, Gongsun Kang and Gongsun Du brothers took Yang Yi, Han Yao, his family, slaves, and trusted men, with more than a thousand people. They carried the wealth of the treasury and quietly left the east gate of Xiangping and went east along the Daliang River. Han Yao was temporarily pulled from his family - he had been an official in Xiangping for a short time and had no relatives and things to take. At first, he thought that Gongsun Kang summoned him to a meeting and discussed the plan to defend the city, but he was directly pressed on the horse and followed the brigade out of the city.

Looking around, this team is not all soldiers, but 40% of them are scholars and servants. Han Yao immediately understood - this is not to sneak attack on the Youzhou army or rescue Gongsun Mo, it is to run away! He quickly rode a horse and chased Yang Yi, and asked him in a low voice: "Where are you going with me?"

Yang Yi glared at Han Yao lightly: "After the first lord died and the funeral has already occurred, the Zong gave the prince to be my lord, so don't call him "官网". We are going south to Lelang to join Liu Zigang."

Han Yao was shocked when he heard this and hurriedly advised Yang Yi: "No! Liaodong was soldiers, but Liu Yi held the troops unmoved. There must be a different intention. Moreover, he and Yang Gong have always been in a disagreement, and if they go to each other, Yang Gong will be in danger!"

Yang Yixin said that Liu Yi didn't come to rescue Xiangping, it was really not his responsibility. I kept suppressing him from coming. Now that I think about it, I feel so regretful. But Han Yao is right, I have always had conflicts with that guy, especially after releasing him from other counties and blocking his northern aid, he must have hated me to the core. Now he is in Lelang, and his foundation is solid. Even if I have a young master... I am under my lord, can I really fight with him again? Maybe I will just move in my head!

Well, if I were in a different place, I would have to kill the other party with one blow for the crime of not being able to protect Xiangping. In order to get rid of the bad reputation of abandoning the foundation of the first lord, the lord would definitely push a scapegoat out, and it just hit it off! If not, this is too dangerous, I have to think about it quickly!

However, this Yang Gong was still qualified and adaptable to the situation, but he was not the director. He could not come up with any good ideas for a while. Han Yao took the opportunity to incite: "I am a commoner, and I was briefly promoted by Yang Gong, so I was able to be an official in Liaodong. Yang Gong's difficulties are the shame of Yao. Now there are three strategies for the superiors, middles and lowers. Can Yang Gong listen to Yao?"

Yang Yi asked sincerely, and Han Yao said slowly: "The worst strategy is to persuade the lord, saying that Liu Yi is not trustworthy, and Lelang cannot go, so you can turn to Goguryeo. Although you can protect Yang Gong, it is not harmed by a slut, but the way is too obstructed, and the King of Goguryeo is unpredictable, which is also very dangerous. In the middle strategy, please ask the lord to stay in the foreign khan temporarily, and not enter Lelang, and summon Liu Yi to rescue him. Yang Gong can set up a plan to take Liu Yi's life first, and then carry the lord into the county..."

After talking about the two strategies at the bottom, Han Yao suddenly kept silent. Yang Yi was surprised and asked repeatedly. Han Yao pretended to hesitate: "Although this plan is safe, it is contrary to loyalty. Yang Gong is not guilty, so Yao dared to speak." Yang Yi had guessed a few points, but he still said, I don't blame you, please tell me quickly.

Han Yao gritted his teeth: "Yuyang Gong is the first lord, not the time lord. Why not just bind Gongsun Kang to surrender to him as an envoy, or lose the reward of being a marquis!" Let's just turn the matter!

When Yang Yi heard this, he raised his eyebrows, as if he was about to attack, but finally sighed: "Zhi Yu knew that the first lord was very kind, how could Yi bear to bear his flesh and blood to stop his descendants? I know that Zhi Yu loved me, but don't mention this again. Yi would rather die than be unjust for this unrighteous thing!" As he said, he lowered his head and thought for a long time: "The worst strategy is in danger, I will take the most important strategy."

In general historical records, as long as the so-called "three strategies of the upper, middle and lower" are proposed, the hero will definitely take the best strategy, the mentally retarded will take the worst strategy, and the mediocre will take the middle strategy - because the middle strategy is the most stable, and although the benefits are not large, the risks are relatively small. So will the hero choose the wrong strategy? In theory, it is inevitable, so the historical books will reorder the three strategies to prove that anyone who succeeds must take the best strategy.

Yang Yi wants to take the Zhongshou, and Han Yao regrets this. He thought that if he had known, I would only give you two strategies. Of course, he hoped that under his instigation, Yang Yi would rebel against Gongsun Kang on the spot and launch a coup. Then our brothers tied up the Gongsun brothers to surrender to the emperor, so his contribution would not be small. However, he also knew very well that Yang Yi would not be able to adopt this strategy, so it would be better for you to change a path and go to Goguryeo in Beitou. In recent years, Liaodong has won many battles with Goguryeo in battles with Goguryeo, so in Han Yao's opinion, Goguryeo is nothing. The Gongsun brothers were just going to survive and survive, and they would not cause any harm. And maybe, the King of Goguryeo would kill the Gongsun brothers like Gongsun Du killed the two Yuans that day and gave his head to him, and then Liaodong would be pacified successfully.

As for going south to join Liu Yi, that's different. Liu Yi was an old official of Gongsun. He might undermine Gongsun Kang, but he dared not take the blame for the world and kill the Gongsun brothers. If the troops were sent to block the Wushui River, it would be quite difficult for Youzhou to attack in depth.

So Yang Yi either rebelled against Gongsun or encouraged Gongsun Kang to re-enter Goguryeo, which was exactly what Han Yao thought. Who would have thought that Yang Yi would take Zhongce and want to fight for Liu Yi and die? Han Yao thought that Liu Yi was so easy to fool? You can kill him so easily? You just take one step at a time and plan to take difficult things into consideration in the future, right?

No, Han Yaoxin said that I can't go to you for a fight. It's hard to complete the mission that the envoy has delivered, and it is also likely that he was harmed by Liu Yi because of the party and Yang Yi. I'd better let go of the crowd!
