Three Kingdoms: Wolong's brother-in-law, tricking Liu Bei into seizing Jingzhou

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Even though they had thousands of words to say in their hearts, they were all stuck in their throats at this moment, and no one dared to speak a word to persuade them.

Liu Yi frowned, shook his head helplessly, and let out a heavy sigh.

"Father, now that the food and grass are gone, what should we do?"

Gongsun Yuan's face was filled with anxiety, his eyes revealed deep worry, and there was a hint of panic in his voice.

"If the soldiers continue to be so hungry, they will surely become resentful and rebel.

How can we defend this city then?"

The more he spoke, the more excited he became. His brows were twisted into the shape of a "川" character, and his hands were unconsciously clenched.

Gongsun Yuan made a bitter face and poured out all his thoughts about the current predicament.

When Gongsun Kang heard this, his already gloomy expression became even uglier.

He fell silent. The hall suddenly became so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. The atmosphere was so depressing that it was hard to breathe.

After a long time.

A hint of ruthlessness suddenly flashed across Gongsun Kang's sinister eyes.

He waved his hand fiercely, his voice filled with unquestionable majesty:
"I know my limits, you all go now."

When the generals heard this, they were all shocked and looked at each other, their hearts full of doubts and confusion.

They racked their brains but could not figure out how Gongsun Kang could solve the food crisis in this desperate situation.

Although the generals were puzzled, they did not dare to disobey the order and had to leave.

Gongsun Yuan also wanted to leave, but was stopped by Gongsun Kang.

At this time, only Gongsun Yuan and his son were left in the hall.

The atmosphere was as solemn as the calm before a storm.

"Father, do you have any good ideas to solve the food and grass dilemma?"

Gongsun Yuan asked cautiously.

Gongsun Kang narrowed his eyes slightly, with a hint of coldness in his gaze, and asked slowly:

"Don't you remember that you wanted to let all the people in this city go? Why didn't your father allow you to do that?"

"Yes. But what does this have to do with food?"

Gongsun Yuan had a suspicious look on his face, his brows were tightly furrowed, and his heart was full of confusion.

"Perhaps the people in the city can..."

Gongsun Kang stopped there, his voice filled with a chilling determination.

Gongsun Yuan stood there in a daze, staring blankly at Gongsun Kang with confused eyes, as if he had not yet understood the deep meaning of his words.

"Didn't I make it clear enough?"

Gongsun Kang's gaze suddenly turned cold, like a sharp sword, shooting towards Gongsun Yuan.

Gongsun Yuan's heart trembled violently, and he suddenly understood, and a chill rushed from the soles of his feet to his forehead.

"Father wants us to..."

Gongsun Yuan's voice was hoarse and his eyes were full of horror and fear, as if he had seen the most terrifying thing in the world.

"As long as we can defend Xiangping, everything can be sacrificed!"

Gongsun Kang said coldly, without a trace of warmth in his voice.

Gongsun Yuan was so frightened that his speech became incoherent and his hands kept shaking.

"You are the prince, how can you take on important responsibilities in the future?"

Gongsun Kang scolded in a stern voice, his voice echoing in the hall like a huge bell.

Gongsun Yuan froze in place, like a wooden sculpture, with mixed feelings, not knowing what to do.

"You do this, don't let me down!"

Gongsun Kang's eyes suddenly revealed a hint of expectation, as if he was giving Gongsun Yuan an order that could not be disobeyed.

Gongsun Yuan was shocked again, and the feeling of panic surged into his heart again.

"Father, those are all our people..."

Gongsun Yuan's voice trembled, his heart filled with reluctance and struggle.

Gongsun Kang didn't know what to say, so he just waved his hand impatiently:

"It's just an ant. It's no big deal if I sacrifice myself!"

Gongsun Yuan was suddenly speechless. Although he had a thousand words to say, he didn't know where to start.

He wanted to say something else, but saw Gongsun Kang frowning and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.

Gongsun Yuan was shocked, and the hesitation in his heart was instantly dispelled.

He took a deep breath, cupped his hands and said:
"I understand, father, please be at ease!"

There was a hint of satisfaction in Gongsun Kang's eyes.

"Go ahead, and don't let your father down!" Gongsun Kang reminded him again, with a look of majesty that brooked no disobedience.

Gongsun Yuan took his leave and left, feeling heavy and helpless in his heart.

Watching Gongsun Yuan leave, Gongsun Kang breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had unloaded a heavy burden.

"Xiao thief, this is all because of you~~"

Gongsun Kang's guilty voice echoed in the hall, as if he was looking for an excuse for himself.

……

In the Han camp.

The siege was over, and peace finally returned to Xiangping.

Tonight, Xiao Fang did not order a water attack.

He had his own plan in mind, to give the rebels in the city a chance to start an internal conflict and let them kill each other.

Inside the big tent.

Xiao Fang sat at the table, holding a glass of wine in his hand. He took a sip, his eyes revealing a hint of depth.

At this moment, Deng Ai ran in excitedly:
"Prime Minister, there is something unusual in Xiangping!"

"Oh? Go and take a look!"

Xiao Fang put down his wine glass and stood up.

He arrived at the camp gate and looked at Xiangping City from afar.

Everything remained the same, with flags flying on the city walls and the defenders seemed to be fine.

However, in this calm, bursts of howling could be faintly heard.

The howl was completely different from ordinary cries. It was full of pain and despair, and extremely tragic.

It is so terrifying that one feels as if they are in hell on earth.

Xiao Fang's thoughts turned back, countless ideas flashed through his mind, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Could it be that Gongsun Kang has eaten up all the food and is now..."

He hadn't finished speaking, but his subordinates on both sides had understood what he meant. Their faces all changed color, with expressions of fear and anger on their faces.

at this time.

The patrol cavalry returned to the camp.

They brought the people of Xiangping who had fled Yuecheng back to the Han camp.

Xiao Fang immediately gave the people wine and food.

Several people were so grateful that they all knelt down to express their gratitude.

When the food and wine were served, the people were already starving, and they didn't care about much else and started to eat voraciously.

"Tell me, what happened in Xiangping City?"

Xiao Fang asked, his voice full of confusion.

As soon as he mentioned this, the people's faces turned horrified, as if they were recalling the world's most terrifying nightmare.

Several people fell in front of Xiao Fang again, and said in a trembling voice:
"Prime Minister, please save our Xiangping people. Gongsun Kang is sending his soldiers to..."

The hungry people spoke the truth tremblingly, and every word seemed to be filled with blood and tears, making people feel heartbroken.

The generals' faces changed into horror, their eyes filled with anger and shock.

"Gongsun Kang is worse than a beast!"

Zhang Liao cursed angrily.

All the generals were also indignant and cursed, condemning and expressing anger towards Gongsun Kang.

"Save us~~"

The people begged desperately, their faces filled with despair and hope.

Xiao Fang's face was gloomy and anger was burning in his heart.

He took a deep breath and made a promise:
"Don't worry, I promise you, I will capture Xiangping as quickly as possible and save you from danger!"

When the people heard this, they kowtowed and expressed their gratitude.

"Send them to Heyang City for resettlement."

Xiao Fang waved his hand and said.

The people thanked him and left, and the tent became quiet again.

Deng Ai clasped his hands and said angrily:

"Prime Minister, Gongsun Kang is cruel and inhumane. What should we do?"

Xiao Fang waved his hand fiercely and said sternly:

"After conquering Xiangping, all the Liaodong troops were killed. I want to avenge these innocent people!" (End of this chapter)
