Gongsun Kang sat on the north seat and looked outside with a gloomy face.
Yuan Xi and Yuan Shangcai walked in. Seeing his expression, they had a bad feeling.
"Governor Gongsun, I feel unwell, so I'll go back first.”Yuan Xi was spouting nonsense as he pulled Yuan Tan back.
Unexpectedly, Gongsun Kang laughed sinisterly.”
Yuan Shang finally felt that something was wrong. Without any hesitation, he turned around and fled with Yuan Xi.
But at this moment, the door outside was suddenly closed, and countless axemen rushed out from both sides, all of them with ferocious expressions.
"Governor Gongsun, what do you mean by this?”
Yuan Xi scolded fiercely.
"Haha! Now that things have come to this, let's not play riddles! I know that you two brothers have long wanted to kill me and seize Liaodong. Previously, I wanted to pretend to be friendly with you, but now I have changed my mind and don't want to be polite with you anymore.”
Gongsun Kang had already made his choice. Now that the overall situation had been decided, his expression was calm.
"Gongsun Kang, don't you forget!" Yuan Shang threatened. When we came, we also brought thousands of cavalrymen! If you dare to kill us, you will be in big trouble!”
"You still dare to threaten me when you're about to die! If I hadn't given them food, your soldiers would have starved to death in the wilderness! After you die, I will be their parents. How can their children and grandchildren harm their parents? What a joke!"
Yuan Xi begged in grief and indignation,"If you let us go, we brothers are willing to invade Liaoxi and protect Liaodong!"”
"Shameless boasting! Your Yuan family has lost four prefectures and only has a thousand elite soldiers. Even if you are lucky enough to attack Liaoxi, how long can you hold on? To tell you the truth, Cao Cao has sent a letter asking for your heads! Now that Cao Cao is so powerful, I'm not willing to offend him for just two heads. In the end, I'll end up like your Yuan Family!”
With that, Gongsun Kang waved his hand, and the two Yuan brothers were chopped down by the machetemen. After their heads were taken off, they were sealed in a box.
Gongsun Kang personally wrote a surrender form and sent it to Xudu along with the heads of the two Yuan brothers.
……
The news traveled from Youzhou to Jizhou, and then from Jizhou to Yanzhou. Finally, Cao Cao's subordinates gathered at the Prime Minister's Mansion and saw the heads of the Yuan brothers and Gongsun Kang's letter of surrender.
Zhang He took a glance and sighed.
"This is indeed Second Yuan's head! I have served under Yuan Shao for many years and often see these two people.”
After the scholar Chen Lin saw this, she was also very emotional."In the past, the two young masters could be said to be in the prime of their lives. I didn't expect that after not seeing you for a few years, only two heads were left!”
After Cao Cao confirmed it, he was overjoyed. However, he immediately pretended to cry.
"I was like a brother to Benchu, but I didn't expect to reach this step in the end!”
"Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang are both my nephews. Their deaths are like the loss of my beloved sons.”
Thus, he personally placed the two heads back into the box. Accompanied by Xu Chu, they left Xudu in a low-key manner and headed straight for Yingchuan.
The civil and military officials in the Prime Minister's residence looked at each other and did not make a sound for a long time.
Xun Yu was a modest gentleman after all. When he thought of his hasty evaluation of Guo Yu, he looked embarrassed. However, he still braced himself and admitted his mistake.
"Fengxiao used one plan to break Liaoxi, and Guo Yu used one plan to pacify Liaodong. We have followed the Prime Minister to the north and south, but there has never been a case of us subduing the enemy without fighting!”
"Previously, I heard that he predicted the outcome of the Wuhuan expedition and even managed to kill Feng Xiao. I thought it was an accident.”
"Now it seems that my previous evaluation of him was careless!
"Guo Yu is indeed a heaven-sent talent. He has abilities that we can't hope to match!”
"His foresight is like a god, and he has a strange plan to pacify Liao. Guo Yu's talent can be said to be a strange assistant in the world! If you can get it, you will certainly be able to achieve the great cause of helping the Han Dynasty!”
Everyone immediately nodded.
Xun You had actually thought it through in the past few days. He knew that Guo Yu's plan would definitely succeed, but he didn't dare to say it out loud, afraid that he would embarrass his colleagues.
Now that Second Yuan's head had been handed over, and Xun Yu had publicly admitted that he had misjudged, Xun You could no longer hold it in and quickly shared his insights with everyone.
Xiahou Dun was still in a daze. After touching his blindfold for a while, he suddenly let out a long sigh!
"Sigh, being blind in one eye has indeed affected me greatly! If I wasn't blind, I would definitely be able to tell that Guo Yu is a talent!”
Cao Ren grinned." Yuan Rang, believe me. You won't be able to see through him even if you have another eye in between your eyebrows, let alone that eye!" Haven't you heard? The people that Guo Yu usually interacted with were all top celebrities like Sima Hui, Pang De Gong, and Huang Chengyan. If you wanted to see through the truth of others, wouldn't that be daydreaming?”
Cao Pi had just passed the age of twenty. When he heard that Guo Yu had offered a plan to easily subdue Gongsun Kang, his eyes lit up!
"In the past, father intended to let Fengxiao be my teacher. This is also my wish! Feng Xiao is unrestrained and bold. In his words, he has the intention of helping my father replace the Han Dynasty. I wonder if his brother is blindly loyal to the Han family or is he just filial to help me achieve great things?”
……
In the Guo family's cemetery, Guo Tai had been taking care of Guo Yu with all his heart, just like how he used to serve Guo Jia.
The current Guo Yu was no longer the playboy who only knew how to travel around the world. He was the key to the rise of the entire Guo family in Yingchuan!
Not only Guo Tai, but the other members of the Guo family also treasured Guo Yu.
As a result, Guo Yu's food had improved greatly recently. He had chicken, duck, fish, and meat for every meal.
Guo Tai also brought over the incense burner that Guo Jia had used before and put in incense every day to refresh Guo Yu's mind.
"Second brother! Jingzhou Zhuge Kongming sent a letter, do you want to see it?”
"Kong Ming? It took you so long to write, let me take a look!”
Guo Yu walked out of the straw hut and received a letter. The handwriting on it was elegant and lively. It was indeed Zhuge Liang's handwriting.
In the letter, Kong Ming said that he had gone out to visit a friend and had only returned recently. He had just heard the news of Guo Jia's death, so he sent his condolences.
However, the emphasis on the letter became strange.
"I heard that Prime Minister Cao is very fond of Brother Guo and that your meteoric rise is just around the corner. I'm happy for Brother Guo.”
"However, I heard that the Emperor knelt down and begged for mercy for the pregnant Lady Dong, but Prime Minister Cao still executed her.”
"Brother Guo, if you serve Prime Minister Cao, wouldn't you agree with his beastly behavior? If so, what is the difference between Brother Guo and Prime Minister Cao?”
Guo Yu frowned.
"Isn't this indirectly calling me a beast?”
After closing the letter, Guo Yu sighed.
Not to mention that he had to carry on the will of his late brother Guo Jia and assist Cao Cao.
Even if Guo Jia wasn't mentioned, Guo Yu wasn't willing to put in the effort to save the Han Dynasty.
Of course, from Zhuge Liang's perspective, he was eager to revive the Han Dynasty. This was not a problem at all.
However, he was destined to be on the opposite side of Guo Yu.
"What a pity. In the past, I still wanted to associate with Shui Jing and Kong Ming, these idle clouds and wild cranes, and be a carefree immortal! However, things are unpredictable. Now that my eldest brother is not around, for the sake of my livelihood and the Guo family, I can only stand up! In the future, if they met Kong Ming again, they would most likely have to fight!”
Thinking about how he would have to fight against intelligent people like Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu in the future, Guo Yu's heart was filled with anticipation.
