In the camp of the Ye Marquis Manor.
Shen Ji, Xiao Sheng, Qingzhou three armed forces back to camp.
In the commander's tent.
Zhang Yan put Gongsun Kang's head in a brocade box and said with a bitter smile,""My lord, Baqi led the army to the front and fell into the trap set by the Qing Zhou Battalion. He was burned to ashes by the fire!”
"No worries!"
"Zhongkang, send the brocade box to Xinchang!" Gongsun Jing said lightly.”
"Here!"
Xu Chu took the brocade box and said respectfully.
Gongsun Jing looked at the three of them and said," The three battalions will rest for a day. Tomorrow, we will set off to various parts of Liaodong. We will divide our forces to recover the major cities. Not a single member of the Gongsun Du family will be spared. The others will surrender and be spared. After all, they are all Youzhou citizens. There are already too few people in Liaodong!”
"Here!"
Gao Lan, Zhang Yan and Guan Hai replied.
"Liaodong is settled!"
Gongsun Jing's eyes were calm.
It was as if Liaodong was nothing in his eyes.
"Haha!"
Guo Jia shook his head and smiled faintly." My lord, Gongsun Du is not Yuan Shao, nor is he the three clans of Donghu. Lord Ye's mansion is not the same as the prefect's mansion of Pingyuan. If it's difficult to pacify Liaodong, how can we talk about conquering the frontier and conquering the world!"”
"Fengxiao is right!"
Cheng Yu and Jia Xu both nodded.
The current Ye Marquis Manor was so powerful that it could ignore all the dukes of Great Han.
If he had really mobilized an army, he would have been able to gather 300,000 to 400,000 armored soldiers in an instant. Unfortunately, Gongsun Jing had only left eight battalions behind. The rest were regular troops, responsible for guarding important places and compressing supplies and food. The daily patrol of the city was the responsibility of the government's patrol officers!
"You guys!"
Gongsun Jing smiled helplessly.
The current Ye Marquis Manor was indeed powerful.
However, he would never underestimate the heroes of the world, especially Cao Cao.
In his previous life, Yuan Shao's army was extremely powerful, claiming to have 300,000 soldiers and 1,000 generals. However, he still lost to Cao Cao, who only had 80,000 soldiers. He ended up with a province destroyed and his son killed by Gongsun Kang.
He didn't want to be the second Yuan Shao. He could be confident, but he absolutely couldn't be arrogant.
It was noon.
Yan Gang, Zou Dan, and Zhang He shouted until their mouths were dry.
But without exception, the commotion in Xin Chang City was suppressed by Gongsun Du, and he even killed many soldiers.
"You're stubborn!"
Zou Dan looked at the soldiers on the city wall.
Some of them had even raised their bows and crossbows, preparing to attack them.
"Attack the city!"
Yan Gang's eyes were filled with ferocity as he said coldly,""Since they want to die, then they can't blame us. Mr. Feng Xiao only wanted us to try and see if we could surrender. Since we can't, we can only waste time!”
"Attack the city!"
Zhang He's eyes were cold.
The siege was extremely bloody.
Especially since the difference in strength between the two sides was not that great.
Even if they could take down Xinchang, they would have to pay a hefty price.
"Prepare for battle!"
Yan Gang's gaze fell on the soldiers of the Rising Sky Battalion.
Immediately, the Tianxing Army began to move. Crossbowmen, shieldmen, and soldiers responsible for siege weapons began to advance.
"Phew!"
Suddenly, Xu Chu rode over.
He led a hundred Tiger Guards and appeared in front of the army.
"General Zhongkang, does the lord have any new orders?" Yan Gang raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice.”
"Pa!"
Xu Chu took off the brocade box and threw it into Yan Gang's arms. He smiled faintly and said,"Guan Hai and the others have returned. The Lord asked me to bring this brocade box over. It might help you take down Xinchang. Tomorrow, the three battalions will be sent to the cities of Liaodong!”
"You're back?"
The three of them were shocked.
Xu Chu turned to look at Xinchang City Tower and sighed."What a huge head. It will definitely be able to make a lot of contributions in the Ministry of War. It's a pity that you guys continue to attack the city.”
"What is it?"
Zou Dan looked at the Tiger Guard's disappearing figure.
It was as if they were in charge of the Xinchang battlefield and stole the Tiger Guards 'merits.
"Pa da!"
Yan Gang opened the brocade box, and his pupils instantly constricted.
"You might not know him, but I've seen him before. He's Gongsun Du's son!" Zou Dan said with narrowed eyes.”
"Prince of Liaodong?"
Yan Gang's voice was full of mockery.
"Haha!"
Zou Dan and Zhang He laughed.
The two Gongsun Shizis were worlds apart.
The Gongsun Family of Liaodong was incomparable to the Gongsun Family of Youzhou.
"Gongsun Du!"
Yan Gang pulled out his saber and raised Gongsun Kang's head. He said indifferently,""Fangxian has been occupied. The three battalions of Qingzhou, Shenji, and Xiaosheng have already moved out. Tomorrow, they will be sent to the cities of Liaodong.”
"Kang 'er!"
Gongsun Du staggered.
Yan Gang said indifferently," The situation in Liaodong has been decided. No one can save you. If Gongsun Du is still alive after ten breaths, the entire Xinchang City will be buried with the Gongsun Family of Liaodong!"”
"Who dares!"
Gongsun Du shouted.
"Ten!"
"Nine!"
"Eight!"
………………
"Three!"
"Two!"
Yan Gang swung his saber and threw Gongsun Kang's head into the pile of corpses. Then, he raised his saber again.
At the same time, the soldiers of the Tianxing Army began to prepare for battle. Boulders and alchemical fire oil were loaded onto the catapults, and the crossbowmen began to load their three-foot-long bolts.
"Puchi!"
A long sword pierced through Gongsun Du's back.
The sword tip was three inches out, and blood dripped onto the battlements.
Gongsun Du's eyes were filled with despair. He turned to the servant behind him and muttered,""Why?"
"I don't want to die!"
The attendant's eyes were filled with fear. He let go of the hilt of his sword and broke down."Liaodong is finished, and Gongsun family is about to perish in the hands of Lord Ye's Mansion. I don't want to die with you, and I don't want my family to be buried with Gongsun family!”
Gongsun Du said hoarsely," If a wall falls, everyone will push it. Is this how Yuan Benchu felt before he died?"”
"Boom!"
The attendant pushed Gongsun Du down the tower.
With a bang, the corpse fell outside the city, kicking up a cloud of dust.
This person who had left behind a legend in Liaodong had died in the hands of his personal guards.
"I surrender!"
The attendant raised his hands and shouted," General, I have killed Gongsun Du. I am willing to surrender to Lord Ye's Mansion!"”
"We are willing to surrender!“
Instantly, the entire city tower echoed with the voices of the Liaodong soldiers.
Gongsun Du, the King of Liaodong, was now dead, and the entire Gongsun family was about to perish.
They still had a future. There was no need for them to sacrifice their lives for a family that had already perished.
"Open the city!"
Yan Gang put away his saber and said in a deep voice," All armored soldiers, leave the city. Take off your weapons and armor. When the time comes, someone will naturally count your household registration. You can be sent back to your hometown as citizens!”
"Here!"
The soldiers of Liaodong shouted.
A moment later.
30,000 Liaodong soldiers surrendered.
Since then, the capture of Liaodong Prefecture and Xinchang City meant that the entire Liaodong would be pacified.
The next day.
Three battalions were sent to Liaodong.
The battle of Xuantu had also begun.
Zhao Yun and Taishi Ci led the two battalions to conquer five cities in three days, completely taking Xuantu into Youzhou's territory.
It took nearly three months.
Three small battlefields were divided in Liaodong and they won all three battles.
The entire Liaodong was completely pacified.
When the news reached Liaoxi, Tian Kai immediately sent officials to take over Liaodong and began to gather power.
At the end of May.
Gongsun Jing led the seventh battalion of the Ye Lord Manor back.
He was preparing to meet with Gongsun Fan of the Upper Valley and carry out an expedition beyond the Great Wall.
Zou Dan stayed behind in Liaodong and Xuantu to attack Fuyu who had lost their ruler.
The first year of Xingping.
Mid-June.
The Ye Marquis Mansion and the Youzhou Prefecture Overseer Mansion issued the notice at the same time.
A declaration that Liaodong was pacified and Fuyu was destroyed instantly spread across the entire Yangtze River, suppressing the uproar caused by the Battle of the Three Prefectures.
Yanzhou.
Chenliu County, Drill Ground Camp.
Ever since they failed to attack Yuzhou.
Cao Cao lived in the camp.
He spent his days preparing his troops and horses, studying how to attack Xuzhou.
"My lord!"
Xun Yu came from the state shepherd's house.
The civil and military officials in the commander's tent had different expressions.
Cao Cao looked up at Xun Yu and said in a deep voice,""Wen Ruo is here, what's going on in the state?”
"I'm fine!"
Xun Yu shook his head.
Cao Cao threw a battle report on the table and mocked himself,""The wheel of fortune has turned. Liu Xuande is not dead, but he is still in Xiapi. It seems that Xiapi is really a place for the remnants of the defeated. Liu Bei has actually lived here twice!”
"What?"
Xun Yu was stunned.
Chen Qun had a complicated expression on his face." After Lu Bu occupied Xuzhou, he sent someone to Yuan Shu to ask for 200,000 dans of grain. He said that it was the resources that he had promised when they formed an alliance. However, Yuan Shu rejected him!”
"And then?"
Xun Yu frowned even more.
It seemed that something unexpected happened during the war between the three states.
Yuan Shu actually had an alliance agreement with Lu Bu, which was beyond his expectations. No wonder Yanzhou was defeated.
"Phew!"
Chen Qun took a deep breath and said in a low voice,""Lu Bu's request for grain and fodder was unsuccessful, but Liu Bei went to beg Lu Bu to take him in. Lu Bu also took Liu Bei in and left him in Xiapi, just like how Liu Bei took Lu Bu in!”
"Yuan Shu endured it?"
Xun Yu could not help but ask.
Chen Qun shook his head and said with a complicated expression," Ji Ling naturally wouldn't agree. So, Chen Gong suggested that we place the halberd at the gate of the camp. Lu Bu would stay in front of the commander's tent and draw his dragon tongue bow to shoot. If he could hit the halberd, Liu Bei would stay in Xuzhou. If he couldn't, he would let Ji Ling fight Liu Bei to the death in the camp!”
"How could he hit it!"
Xun Yu shook his head and said in a deep voice," That's nearly 120 steps. Even if a flying general is reborn, it's nothing!"”
Chen Qun's eyes were filled with bitterness as he said,""But Lu Bu hit it. My lord asked the soldiers just now, but no one could do it!”
"Hiss!"
Xun Yu's pupils constricted.
Lu Bu's martial arts and archery skills had all reached perfection.
It was likely that no one in the 13 Prefectures of the Great Han Dynasty would be able to stand up to him.
Chen Qun continued," Ten days ago, Yuan Shu sent someone to look for Lu Bu. He said that he wanted to marry Lu Qiling for his son and form a marriage alliance between the two states. Lu Bu had agreed to this, but Chen Gong stopped him and chased Yuan Shu's envoy out of Xu State!”
"No alliance!"
Xun Yu stroked his goatee, his eyes full of seriousness.
Lu Bu was an ordinary man, so he naturally understood that the alliance with Yuzhou could stabilize the situation in Xu Prefecture.
However, why did Chen Gong refuse?
"Why?"
Chen Qun, Xi Zhicai, and the others were at a loss.
It was as if they had no room to display their talents.
"Gongtai!"
Cao Cao looked in the direction of Xu Prefecture and said regretfully,""You would rather assist Lu Bu than help me. What are you thinking? Why did you reject Yuan Shu's alliance?”
"We're finished!"
"The burly man is completely finished!"
An illusory thought flashed through Xun Yu's mind.
However, it was this thought that was closest to his guess, which made Chen Gong reject the marriage.
"Wen Ruo!"
"What do you mean finished?" Cao Cao asked in a deep voice.”
Xun Yu shook his head and took a deep breath.""My lord, I hope I'm wrong. If I'm right, the Great Han Dynasty will face the most terrifying turmoil. It will be even more terrifying than Gongsun Du becoming king, Gongsun Jing setting up the six tribes, and Zhang Jiao rebelling in the Road of Peace!”
"No way!"
Xi Zhicai said with a pale face.
Xun Yu suppressed his panic and said," Yuan Shu shouldn't be that stupid. Although the world is in chaos now, and the Han Royal Family has slightly declined in the four provinces that Gongsun Changping controls, his influence is still there. The prestige of the Darkhan Dynasty that lasted for four hundred years is still there!”
"Wen Ruo!"
Cao Cao suddenly shouted.
Xun Yu bowed and said," My lord, if I'm not wrong, Yuan Shu should have the intention to declare himself emperor. That's why Chen Gong rejected this alliance. He knows that even if the world is in chaos, declaring himself emperor will become the target of everyone!"”
"Impossible!"
Cao Cao was also frightened by this guess.
"Nothing is impossible!"
"Gongsun Jing's establishment of the six tribes has already made Yuan Shu feel that the Han Dynasty is dispensable!”
"The three prefectures are at war. Yu Prefecture defeated Liu Bei and us at the same time. Naturally, his heart is inflated!”
"In the past two years, the Guanzhong region has suffered from a great drought and starved people are everywhere, and he has the Imperial Jade Seal in his hand. If someone were to slander him at this time and say that the Darkhan Dynasty's fate is over and that the one who obtains the Imperial Jade Seal will obtain the world, do you think he would become the Emperor?”Xi Zhicai smiled bitterly.
"No!"
"Impossible!"
Cao Cao waved his hand and said,"This is just your guess!"”
Xun Yu nodded and said hopefully," I hope this is all just speculation. I really can't think of a reason for Chen Gong to reject the marriage!"”
"Right!"
Cao Cao turned around and asked,"Wen Ruo, what business do you have in the military camp?"”
Xun Yu nodded and said," The Yehou Manor has announced that Liaodong has been pacified. The entire Gongsun Clan of Liaodong has been exterminated. The new King of Goguryeo, Baqi, and 10,000 Goguryeo cavalry have died in battle. Fuyu's Lieutenant, Chou Tai, has died in battle. The Fuyu Kingdom has been pacified by Zou Dan and his 30,000 strong army!”
"So fast?"
Cao Cao, Chen Qun, and Xi Zhicai were stunned.
Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Dun, Yu Jin, Li Dian, and the other generals were filled with fear of the Ye Marquis Manor's sixth battalion.
Although Gongsun Du could not compare to Yuan Shao, who occupied a province, the speed at which the Ye Marquis Mansion pacified Liaodong was too fast. They had sent troops from Jizhou in three months, but they had pacified it in three months. This shocked them and made them feel a little unwilling.
Why was it that their battles had been fruitless, while Gongsun Changping had won every battle!
"My lord!"
" Gongsun Changping is currently garrisoning his troops in Shanggu," Xun Yu said in a deep voice." He has gathered tens of thousands of troops under Gongsun Fan and ten thousand troops under Daijun alone. The total number of troops is close to 140,000. The army is ready to march straight towards the Xianbei beyond the Great Wall!”
"140,000!"
Cao Cao's eyes were filled with bitterness.
In the past, the 18 feudal vassals had attacked Dong with only a few capable soldiers.
Now, Gongsun Jing alone had such a powerful army, not to mention the many strategists and generals in the Ye Marquis Manor.
