Chapter 251 Fraud and surrender
In the battle at the plain at the foot of Bailang Mountain, Yuan Shang defeated Gongsun Kang with the Five Elements Formation formed by the troops of Youzhou under his command, and passed him to death. With this battle, he successfully dismantled the main force of the Liaodong Army.
In history, the Yuan brothers were beheaded and died by Gongsun Kang's Hongmen Banquet. They were both bodies and heads. Now that time and space are shifting, Gongsun Kang was finally angry with Yuan Shang. It was indeed a cycle of cause and effect, and there were fixed numbers in the way of heaven.
As soon as the commander died, Yu Zhong naturally had no intention of fighting. He just resisted a little for a while. Most of the soldiers and horses of the Liaodong Army collectively surrendered to the Yuan army. Yuan Shang took the initiative and captured tens of thousands of surrendered soldiers. After rectifying and appeased, he immediately marched towards Changli City, the main city of Liaodong.
In that city, there were Gongsun Du, the head of the Gongsun family, and the false emperor Liu, who had made plans, Chapter 251
The plan to surrender. Since the many battles that have turned to Mobei, the final curtain will be put in this Changli City.
Changli City, the prefect's mansion.
"Son...my son..."
After learning the news that his eldest son Gongsun Kang died in Bailang Mountain, Gongsun Du burst into tears and cried all day long. Although he did not agree with his son's strategy of being an enemy of Yuan and competing for the Central Plains, parent-child is a parent-child after all. Which father in this world does not feel sorry for his own flesh and blood? Which father does not regard his own flesh and blood as his heart and soul? Even if there were many discords and dissents during his lifetime, once a person dies, all the unpleasant past events will turn into passing clouds, leaving only a faint feeling of nostalgia and pain of lovesickness.
People are such a humble creature, leaning against each other and moving forward slowly on this cruel land...
Under the hall, Gongsun Du's deputy general looked at the old lord's grief and couldn't bear it, and said, "Lord, please feel sorry for me. Although the eldest lord's heaven is heartbreaking, it is urgent to find a way to stop the Yuan family heading towards my Changli City. Now the Yuan army is in a strong morale and has a huge momentum. With the troops we have at present, I am afraid that it will not be able to resist it."
"According to Chapter 251
What are you trying to stop the surrender plan?!" The old Gongsun Du stood up tremblingly, his turbid old eyes filled with deep hatred and revenge: "My son has been harmed by Yuan Shang! He dared to force him so aggressively, and clearly did not take me seriously! The little thief of the Yuan family... I will tear him apart this time, and use every piece of flesh and every drop of blood on his body to pay tribute to my son's spirit in heaven!"
When the deputy general heard this, he was shocked and said, "Lord, don't act irritating, and you'll trap my Changli City in the fire and water!"
"Stop it!" Gongsun Du stood up tremblingly, shouted at the deputy general with a fierce momentum, and sobbed, "The revenge of killing children is irreconcilable. Even if the entire Changli City is compensated, I will fight against Yuan Shang! Today, I and the little thief of the Yuan family can no longer coexist in the world. Either he dies or I die!"
"Well said~~!"
Accompanied by a gentle applause, a slender figure slowly walked into the hall. He kept slapping his hands, a gentle smile on his face, showing his profound cultivation. The light in his eyes showed a pretentious and proud look.
"Liu He?" Gongsun Du's eyes suddenly became much colder. Looking at the Han emperor who was united with his side and dreaming of an emperor, Gongsun Du suddenly had the urge to rush forward and stab him to death. If it weren't for this disaster star, how could Liaodong have caused such a great disaster? How could Yuan Shang send troops to attack the city of Changli? How could his beloved son Gongsun Kang die?... The culprit of all the blame is the person in front of him!
Of course, when Gongsun Du was considering this issue, he forgot something. The so-called slap cannot be sounded. If he hadn't been jealous of the land of the Central Plains and had bad intentions, he would not have joined forces with Liu He and the tribes in the north of Mobei. Now that things are in crisis, he has put all the shit on Liu He's head, which is a little aggrieved... Unfortunately, how could he manage so much in anger?
Liu He also saw the bad expression in Gongsun Du's eyes, but his expression did not change, showing extraordinary cultivation and quality. But when he saw him smiled slightly, he said to Gongsun Du: "General Gongsun, even if you have a thousand angers in your heart at this moment, you should calmly engage in it, so as not to fail to take revenge, but to lose your territory and fall into the city... Moreover, it is necessary for me to remind you that your enemy is Yuan Shang, not my nephew. If you move your anger to me for no reason, it will not only not avenge your eldest son Gongsun, but also a stupid thing that makes your relatives feel sad and happy. It is really not advisable. I hope General Gongsun can think twice."
Gongsun Du's thoughts were unveiled by Liu He's words, and his old face turned red and he coughed with emotion: "You are so serious, you are not the only one who is an ally, but because your father and I were guarding the northern border with me back then, it was an old friend. How could I harm you because of some irrelevant acts? You are thinking too much."
Liu He's expression remained unchanged, and he bowed gently to Gongsun Du, and said respectfully: "So that's the case. This is my nephew Meng Lang... General Gongsun, my nephew is here today because I heard that Yuan Shang had harmed the eldest son in Bailang Mountain, rectified his troops and turned his troops eastward, and rushed towards our Changli City. I wonder if General Gongsun has a good idea to break it?"
When Gongsun Du heard this, his cheeks, which had been a little guilty for a moment, suddenly became a little gloomy. He gritted his teeth and said, "I have all the soldiers in this city, fight against Yuan Shang'er, and avenge my Kanger... I don't want to win a big victory, even if I fight for both sides, it's worth it!"
After hearing this, Liu He remained calm, but shook his head slightly and persuaded him: "Yuan Shang has many soldiers and a wide range of generals, and his successive victory is also very powerful. At this moment, facing them head-on is tantamount to hitting stones with eggs. It is really not advisable. General Gongsun must not act voluntarily!"
Gongsun Du's beard shook, looked at Liu He with a strange look, and said in a hoarse voice: "I am defeated by the front, so what should I do in your opinion?"
Liu He's expression remained unchanged, and he said lightly: "Surrender."
"What?" Gongsun Du roared directly when he heard this, stood up indignation, and roared at Liu He: "Surrender? Do you want me to surrender?". It is impossible, absolutely impossible! That boy Yuan Shang killed my Kang'er and had an irreconcilable grudge with me. Do you want me to surrender to him? Unless I die! Otherwise, I will fight with the boy of the Yuan family until he has only one last breath, and I will never give up!"
Liu He was not in a hurry after hearing Gongsun Du's roar. He just smiled faintly and said in a strange tone: "Don't be in a hurry, Old General Gongsun, you might as well listen to your nephew finishing his words and make trouble."
Gongsun Du was panting like a cow, his chest was rising and falling, obviously he was very angry.
But seeing the old man waved his hand, he said angrily: "You said!"
"Gen. Gongsun, do you know the battle between Cao cāo and Zhang Xiu in the Battle of Wancheng that year?"
Gongsun Du was a little confused when he heard this and said, "The Battle of Wancheng? Cao cāo? Zhang Xiu?". How?"
Liu He cleared his throat and explained in a low voice: "In the battle of Wancheng, Cao cāo led a large army to besiege Zhang Xiu. Zhang Xiu was unable to resist. He followed Jia Xu's plan and opened the door to surrender, and set Cao cāo and the throne of the emperor. Cao cāo was complacent for a moment and forced Zhang Xiu's sister-in-law Zou to anger him. Zhang Xiu then rebelled and took advantage of Cao cāo's unpreparedness and led his troops to attack him. If it weren't for the general Dian Wei and his parents and children Cao Ang who sacrificed their lives to save them, I was afraid that today, there would be no Sikong Cao cāo who would use the emperor to command the princes..."
When Gongsun Du heard this, he seemed to understand a little and whispered: "My dear nephew, what do you mean is that we should also follow the way Zhang Xiu defeated Cao Cāo back then.........I played with him?"
Liu He smiled and nodded, saying, "No, you are accused of surrendering! Compliment! Be the main one! Be slow to be your heart! I lazier your ambition! Find an opportunity to get rid of it!"
Gongsun Du thought about it after hearing this and said, "But, Yuan Shang is a good person, and it is rumored that he is extremely cunning, but he can compete with Cao cāo. I am afraid that the general trick of surrender will not deceive him, right?"
Liu He nodded and said, "That's true, when he first surrendered, the general not only had to take the initiative to give up his mansion and city, but also had to take the initiative to dismiss the military power to Yuan Shang... By the way, the old general could also pretend to bind me and present it to Yuan Shang to show his loyalty."
"Take you to Yuan Shang? Dismiss the military power?" Gongsun Du was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said, "It's okay to tie you to Yuan Shang to show his loyalty, but dismiss the military power... I will win his trust in this way, but when he is relaxed in the future, even if I want to fight back and capture him, it will be useless!"
Liu He smiled when he heard this: "As the old general, he is safe. The old general is in charge of Liaodong for many years and is deeply admired by all ethnic groups in Dongyi. The old general can secretly send his confidants to the Dongyi tribes and ask them to raise troops after Yuan Shang takes over the military power in Liaodong and seek trouble everywhere. Yuan Shang has gained the loyalty of the old general, and will naturally return the military power to you again and use you to quell the rebellion and uprising of the Dongyi tribes. At that time, the old general will give another three refusal to show his sincerity. Yuan Shang will definitely have him. At that time, he will be able to obtain military power with justification and assassinate Yuan Shang in secret, and make a big decision in one fell swoop!"
When Gongsun Gong heard this, he looked at Liu He in surprise for a while, then nodded slowly, and felt secretly in his heart...
It turns out that he is a terrifying young man. Unexpectedly, Liu He is so young and has such a meticulous mind, which is much better than his father Liu Yu. It is a pity that he is not lucky and has no foundation for establishing himself. If he has a size and his reputation as his Han family, he may not be able to do something big!
A few days later, Yuan Shang's army arrived in Changli City, which was still ten miles away from the city. The Changli City special envoy came to the horse and on behalf of his lord Gongsun Dute came to surrender to Yuan Shang.
Looking at the envoy holding the letter of surrender under the camp, Yuan Shang couldn't help but frown deeply.
After a while of silence, he heard him slowly speak.
"Your master Gongsun Du, shouldn't he be fooled by me? Cao cāo can't even fool me, so he dares to play with me this time?" The Liaodong envoy shook his head quickly when he heard this, and said, "When he returned to Yuan Weiwei, my General Gongsun is afraid of Yuan Gong's heavenly power. This surrender is truly sincere and will never deceive each other. In this surrender, the old General Gongsun will personally hold the prefect seal and the sword tiger talisman to go out of the city to surrender. The military power will be transferred to Yuan Gong's arrangement, and there will be no hidden personal information. Another rebellious thief Liu He has been captured by my old general, and will be handed over to Yuan Gong's death together!"
Yuan Shang was stunned when he heard this: "I handed over both the military power and Liu He... so particular? I took away the city that Gongsun Du had run for many years!"
The messenger said respectfully: "My old general said, he can afford to lose the city!"
"I have fought several times, but have I confiscated many of his soldiers from Liaodong?"
"My old general said, he can afford to pay for it!"
"I also seized a lot of food, grass and supplies from his Liaodong Army?"
"I can afford to lose the food and fodder!"
"I also walked his eldest son of Gongsun's family to death!"
"You can afford to lose your son!"
