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

It turned out that Liao Hua had already set up an ambush here. He had already anticipated Gongsun Kang's breakout route, and was now leading the ambush troops to launch a fierce attack on the Liaodong Army.

In an instant, the Liaodong Army was in chaos, the team fell apart, the soldiers fled in all directions, and the sounds of crying, shouting for help, and weapons clashing were intertwined.

"Xiao Fang has an ambush!"

Gongsun Kang gritted his teeth, and the relief that had just ignited in his heart was instantly shattered.

In front, Liao Hua was waving a spear, harvesting the heads of Liaodong soldiers as if he was in an empty space.

His shooting skills are sharp, and every shot can take a life.

When Gongsun Kang saw Liao Hua coming to kill him, he angrily shouted:
"You bastard, you dare to block my way, prepare to die!
I, Gongsun Kang, will fight you to the death!"

Gongsun Kang rode his horse straight towards Liao Hua, the weapon in his hand flashing a cold light.

Liao Hua, wanting to take credit for capturing Gongsun Kang alive, also rushed forward with his spear in hand.

The two horses collided like lightning, and the collision of weapons made a "clang clang" sound.

Liao Hua's body shook violently, and he felt as if his internal organs were about to burst apart.

He was secretly shocked that Gongsun Kang's martial arts were actually better than his.

The next moment, Gongsun Kang's second sword strike had already arrived, with even greater force than the first.

Liao Hua raised his spear high and tried to block it with all his might.

"boom!"

There was a loud bang.

Liao Hua's arm was painful from being pressed, and the blade almost cut his body.

His knuckles burst open and blood oozed out, staining the weapon in his hand red.

Gongsun Kang swung his long sword again with great force, like a flash of black lightning.

Liao Hua knew that his martial arts skills were inferior to Gongsun Kang's, so he turned his horse and fled.

After defeating Liao Hua, Gongsun Kang was filled with heroic spirit. He sneered and urged his troops to continue killing.

For a moment, the shouts and sounds of killing shook the earth.

Liao Hua's ambush troops ultimately failed to stop the Liaodong Army, allowing Gongsun Kang to successfully break out.

Although it cost him a lot of sacrifice, Gongsun Kang finally broke out of the siege.

As the number of pursuers behind him decreased, Gongsun Kang breathed a sigh of relief, with a hint of pride in his eyes, as if he had seen the dawn of victory.

at this time.

Suddenly, torches were lit in front, illuminating the sky and the earth like day.

Gongsun Kang hurriedly reined in his horse, feeling an ominous premonition in his heart.

In front of him, a group of Han troops blocked the road like an insurmountable mountain, blocking Gongsun Kang's way.

The Han army soldiers held weapons in their hands, their eyes full of vigilance and murderous intent, as if they were a group of ferocious beasts waiting for their prey.

A flag with a huge "Gan" character printed on it fluttered in the cold wind, appearing particularly eye-catching.

The edges of the flag were torn by the strong wind, making crackling sounds.

Gan Ning was wearing a black armor that gleamed coldly under the sunlight.

He stood on his horse with his spear in hand, his posture straight and his eyes fierce, like a tiger about to attack.

He took a deep breath and shouted majestically:
"Gongsun Kang, where do you want to escape to today?"

The sound echoed across the empty battlefield, startling several crows perched on dead trees.

Gan Ning held his halberd in front of Gongsun Kang, the tip of the halberd flashing with a cold light.

The warhorse under his crotch pawed its front hooves restlessly, with bursts of white air coming out of its nostrils, as if it also sensed the upcoming battle.

Gongsun Kang was so shocked and angry that his face turned as pale as paper in an instant.

He naturally knew how powerful Gan Ning's martial arts were and how invincible his strength was. His heart instantly rose to his throat and his hands began to tremble unconsciously.

When the Liaodong army saw that Gan Ning had blocked their way, they immediately became chaotic and ran around like a group of headless flies.

Some soldiers were so frightened that their faces turned pale, their legs weakened, and they almost collapsed to the ground;
Some soldiers held their weapons tightly, as if they saw the coming of death.

Gongsun Kang had a desire to fight to the death, and he planned to fight Gan Ning to the death. Even if he died on the battlefield, he would never surrender. At this moment, Lun Zhi hurried forward and said:

"My lord, Gan Ning is a very skilled warrior. If we fight him, we will have no chance of winning!"

As Lunzhi spoke, he unconsciously clenched his hands into fists.

After hearing this, Gongsun Kang couldn't help but hesitate. His brows furrowed and a few more wrinkles appeared on his forehead.

"If we don't kill Gan Ning, are we going to sit there and wait to be captured alive by the enemy?"

Gongsun Kang said in a deep voice, with a hint of helplessness in his voice.

Lunzhi thought for a moment and advised:
"My king, you and Gan Ning had a past relationship, so why not try to persuade him to let us go.

Maybe he will give us a chance to live."

As Lunzhi spoke, a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes.

Gongsun Kang woke up as if from a dream and suddenly realized.

In those days, Gan Ning went to Liaodong to buy horses. He treated Gan Ning with courtesy, not only hosting a banquet but also giving him some precious gifts. The two sides did have a friendship.

But now, where can I put my face if I have to beg Gan Ning to spare my life?

A look of hesitation appeared on Gongsun Kang's face.

"As long as you are alive, there is still a chance. Your Majesty, please think twice!"

Lunzhi reminded in a low voice, his eyes full of anxiety.

The hesitation in Gongsun Kang's heart disappeared in an instant.

He knew in his heart that even though he would lose face by asking Gan Ning for mercy, he could at least save his life.

Otherwise, if he was captured alive by Xiao Fang, it would be a life worse than death, and he might even suffer all kinds of inhuman torture.

Thinking of this, Gongsun Kang gritted his teeth and had to slowly walk towards Gan Ning.

Seeing this, Gan Ning's soldiers all stood still.

There was a hint of vigilance in their eyes as they watched Gongsun Kang's every move.

Gongsun Kang pulled the reins and shouted:
"Xingba, long time no see!"

There was a hint of emotion in his voice, as if he were meeting an old friend again, but more of it was helplessness and temptation.

"Long time no see."

Gan Ning bowed in return, with a complicated look in his eyes.

He looked at Gongsun Kang, and some memories of the past came to his mind.

Gongsun Kang sighed and said:

"You and I drank and talked happily together back then, what a joy it was!
I didn't expect that we would become mortal enemies today. It's really a pity."

Gongsun Kang said this with a hint of melancholy in his eyes.

When Gongsun Kang mentioned the old things, Gan Ning's originally stern expression also restrained a little.

He recalled every moment he had spent with Gongsun Kang, and couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

"For the sake of our old friendship, if you surrender I will not kill you, but will hand you over to Prime Minister Xiao for punishment!"

Gan Ning spoke in a gentle tone, as if giving Gongsun Kang a way out.

Gongsun Kang stiffened his neck and said, "All my sons were killed by Xiao Fang. How can I surrender to him?"

Gan Ning's face changed and he said sternly:
"It was you who killed Gongsun Yuan. How dare you blame it on Prime Minister Xiao?"

Gongsun Kang looked embarrassed after hearing this and said:
"If Xiao Fang hadn't forced me, how could I have attacked my own son!
How can I surrender to him when the hatred is so deep?

Even if I surrender, how could he let me live?
Maybe he will torture me to the point where I would rather die than live."

Gongsun Kang asked angrily, his hands unconsciously tightening the reins.

Gan Ning was shocked and fell silent.

He recalled the order Xiao Fang had issued, which was to capture Gongsun Kang alive and make his life a living hell!
Gan Ning was a man who valued friendship and loyalty. Gongsun Kang had treated him with courtesy before. Even though he was somewhat disgusted with Gongsun Kang's actions, he was still willing to save his life at this moment.

He looked at Gongsun Kang, feeling somewhat hesitant, not knowing whether he should let him go. (End of this chapter)
