Chapter 262

In the battle on the plain at the foot of the White Wolf Mountain, Yuan Shang used the five-element formation formed by the soldiers and horses of Youzhou under his command to defeat Gongsun Kang and walk his long pass to death. In this battle, he successfully disintegrated the main force of the Liaodong Army.

In history, the Yuan brothers were beheaded to death by Gongsun Kang at a Hongmen Banquet, with two heads. Now that time and space have shifted, Gongsun Kang was finally pissed to death by Yuan Shang.

As soon as the commander died, the rest of the people naturally didn't have any great fighting spirit. They just resisted for a while, and most of the soldiers and horses of the Liaodong Army surrendered to Yuan Jun collectively. Then headed towards Changli City, the main city of Liaodong.

In that city, there are Gongsun Du, the head of the Gongsun family, and Liu He, the false emperor who plots evil.The many battles since the transfer to Mobei are about to end in this city of Changli.

**************************
Changli City, Prefect's Mansion.

"Son. My son."

After learning the news that his eldest son, Gongsun Kang, died in battle at Bailang Mountain, Gongsundu was in tears and washed his face all day long. Although he did not agree with his son's strategy to fight against Yuan's family and compete in the Central Plains, the father and son are after all. Parent and child, is there any father in this world who doesn't love his own flesh and blood?Which father does not regard his own flesh and blood as his heart and soul?No matter how many discords and dissents there were during life, once a person dies, all the unpleasant events of the past are gone, leaving only a touch of nostalgia and the pain of lovesickness.

Man is such a humble creature, clinging to each other and walking hand in hand in this cruel land
Under the hall, Gongsun Du's lieutenant general looked at the grief-stricken look of the old lord, and couldn't bear it, and said: "My lord, please give me condolences. Although the death of the eldest son makes people feel distressed, the most urgent thing is to find a way to stop the advance towards our Changli city. The Yuan family who came here, the morale of the Yuan army is now high, and the momentum is overwhelming, with the strength we have now, I am afraid that it will not be able to resist."

"Resist what?!" The old Gongsundu stood up tremblingly, his cloudy old eyes filled with hatred and revenge: "The old man's son was killed by Yuan Shang! He still dares to be so aggressive, clearly It’s because I didn’t take this old man seriously! You little thief from the Yuan family. I’m going to tear his corpse into thousands of pieces, and use every piece of flesh and every drop of blood on his body to pay homage to my son’s spirit in heaven!”

Hearing the words, the deputy general turned pale with shock, and said: "My lord, I'm sorry, don't use your emotions to trap my Changli city in fire and water!"

"Shut up!" Gongsun Du stood up tremblingly, yelled at the lieutenant in a threatening manner, and said with sobs: "The revenge of killing a son is irreconcilable, even if you lose the entire Changli city, I will follow you!" Yuan Shang will fight it out! Today, the old man and the little thief from the Yuan family can no longer coexist in this world, either he dies or I die!"

"Well said~~!"

Accompanied by a burst of applause, a slender and thin figure slowly walked into the hall, he kept beating his hands, with a light smile on his face, showing his deep self-cultivation. There is a bit of brilliance in it, which has a kind of pretentiousness and a proud taste of self-confidence.

"Liu He?" Gongsun Du's eyes suddenly became colder. Looking at this emperor of the Han Dynasty who was united with his side and dreaming of the emperor's dream, Gongsun Du suddenly had an urge to rush up and stab him to death with a knife. If it wasn't for this catastrophe, how could Liaodong have caused such a disaster?How could Yuan Shang send troops directly to the city of Changli?How could his beloved son, Gongsun Kang, die? The culprit of everything is this person in front of him!
Of course, Gongsun Du forgot one thing when he was thinking about this issue. The so-called slap in the face, if it wasn't for his Gongsun clan's greed for the land of the Central Plains and his intentions, he would not have fought with Liu He and the Mobei clans. Lianhe, now that things have come to a crisis, he has put all the shit on Liu He's head, which is a bit wronged. Unfortunately, under the rage, how can he manage so much?

Liu He also saw the unfriendly expression in Gongsun Du's eyes, but his face did not change, showing his extraordinary cultivation and quality, but he smiled slightly, and bowed his head at Gongsun Du: "General Gongsun, what is in your heart right now? Even if there are thousands of angers, you should do it calmly, lest revenge will fail and you will lose ground and fall into the city. Moreover, my nephew must remind you that your enemy is Yuan Shang, not my nephew. If you transfer your anger to me for no reason , not only is it not avenging the eldest son Gongsun, but it is also a stupid thing to make relatives and enemies happy, it is really not advisable, I hope General Gongsun will think twice."

Gongsun Du's thoughts were revealed by Liu He in a few words, his old face blushed immediately, and he coughed with emotion: "Nephew, you are too serious, let's not mention that you and I are allies. Your father and I guard the northern border together, and we belong to old friends, how can I harm you because of some irrelevant things, my nephew, you are overthinking."

Liu He's complexion remained unchanged, he bowed slightly to Gongsun Du, and said respectfully: "So that's it, this is my little nephew Meng Lang...General Gongsun, my little nephew came here today because I heard that Yuan Shang is still here. After Bailangshan killed the eldest son, he rectified his army and horses, turned his troops to the east, and rushed towards our Changli City, I wonder if General Gongsun has a good plan to break it?"

Hearing this, Gongsun Du's cheeks that had been a little ashamed suddenly became a little gloomy, and he said through gritted teeth: "This old man wants to use up all the troops in the city to fight against Yuan Shang'er and avenge my Kang'er... No Seeking a big victory, even if it hurts both of them, it's still worth it!"

Liu He didn't change his face when he heard this, he just shook his head slightly, and tried to persuade him: "Yuan Shang has many generals, and his victorious victories are high-spirited, facing them head-on at this moment is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg. General Gongsun must not be impulsive!"

Gongsun Du's beard twitched, he looked at Liu He with a strange look, and said in a hoarse voice: "If you are defeated head-on, then in your opinion, what should I do?"

Liu He's demeanor remained unchanged, and he said two words lightly: "Surrender."

"What?" Gongsun Du roared angrily when he heard the words, stood up filled with righteous indignation, and roared loudly at Liu He: "Surrender? You let the old man surrender? Impossible, absolutely impossible! That kid Yuan Shang killed I lost my Kang'er, and I have a sworn feud with this old man, you want this old man to surrender to him? Unless the old man is dead! Otherwise, this old man will resolutely fight to the last breath with the Yuan family boy, and he will never let it go!"

After hearing Gongsun Du's roar, Liu He was not in a hurry, just smiled faintly, and said in a strange tone: "Old General Gongsun, don't worry, you might as well listen to what my nephew has to say, and then it won't be too late to make a fuss."

Gongsun Du was panting like a cow, his chest fluctuated up and down, obviously he was very angry.

But seeing the old man wave his hand, he said angrily, "Say it!"

"Old General Gongsun, do you know what happened between Cao Cao and Zhang Xiu in the battle of Wancheng?"

Gongsun Du was a little confused when he heard the words, so he said: "The Battle of Wancheng? Cao Cao? Zhang Xiu? ... How?"

Liu He cleared his throat and explained in a low voice: "In the battle of Wancheng, Cao Cao led an army to besiege Zhang Xiu. Zhang Xiu thought it would be difficult to resist, so he adopted Jia Xu's plan, opened the door to surrender, and placed Cao Cao and the Lord in the same place. Cao Cao got carried away for a while, and forced Zhang Xiu's sister-in-law, Zou, to anger her. Zhang Xiu then rebelled. I am afraid that in today's world, there is no such thing as Sikong Cao Cao who coerces the emperor to make the princes..."

When Gongsun Du heard the words, he seemed to understand a little bit, and said in a low voice: "Nephew, what do you mean, we also imitate Zhang Xiu's way of defeating Cao Cao... Play tricks with him?"

Liu He nodded with a smile, and said, "That's right, a false surrender! Compliment! Serve him as the master! Be slow! Be lazy! Find an opportunity to get rid of it!"

Gongsun Du thought for a while when he heard the words, and said: "But, Yuan Shang is very capable. It is rumored that he is extremely treacherous, and he can compete with Cao Cao. I am afraid that ordinary tricks of surrender will not be able to deceive him?"

Liu He nodded when he heard the words: "That's right, so at the beginning of the false surrender, the general not only had to voluntarily give up the mansion and city, but also took the initiative to surrender his arms and military power to Yuan Shang... By the way, the old general can also pretend to bind me and dedicate it to Yuan Shang." Yuan Shang, to show your loyalty."

"Hand you over to Yuan Shang? Disarm the military power?" Gongsun Du was taken aback for a moment, and then hurriedly said, "It's fine to bind you to Yuan Shang as a show of loyalty, but disarming the military power...by doing so, even if I won his Trust me, but when he relaxes in the future, even if you want to fight back and capture him, it won't help!"

Hearing this, Liu He smiled: "Don't worry about this, the old general. The old general has guarded Liaodong for many years and has won the admiration of all the Dongyi tribes here. The old general can secretly send his confidants to the Dongyi tribes and ask them to take over the military power in Liaodong in Yuanshang. Afterwards, they scrambled to raise troops and provoke troubles everywhere. Yuan Shang won the loyalty of the old general, so he will naturally return the military power to you, and use you to quell the rebellion of the Dongyi ethnic groups. Sincerity, Yuan Shang will not doubt that he is there, and then he can justifiably regain his military power, assassinate Yuan Shang secretly, and make a big deal in one fell swoop!"

Hearing this, Gongsun Gong stared at Liu He in amazement for a long while, then nodded slowly, feeling secretly in his heart...
Sure enough, he is a formidable young man. Unexpectedly, at such a young age, Liu He has such a meticulous mind, which is much better than his father Liu Yu. It is a pity that his fortune is not good, and he has no foundation to stand on. The fame, may not be unable to do something great!
********************
A few days later, Yuan Shang's army arrived in Changli City, ten miles away from the city, and the special envoy of Changli City came on a flying horse to ask Yuan Shang to surrender on behalf of his lord, Sun Dute.

Looking at the envoy holding the letter of surrender under the camp, Yuan Shang could not help frowning deeply.

After a moment of silence, he heard him speak slowly.

"Your master, Gongsun Du, isn't he playing tricks on me? Cao Cao can't fool me, so he dares to play this game with me?"

The Liaodong envoy hurriedly shook his head when he heard the words, and said: "If you go back to Yuan Weiwei, my general Gongsun is afraid of the might of Yuan Gong's heavenly soldiers. This surrender is really sincere and sincere, and there is no deceit. This surrender, the old general Gongsun will personally hold it The prefect's seal and the commanding sword and tiger talisman went out of the city to surrender, and the military power was transferred to Yuan Gong's arrangement. There was no secret, and the rebellious thief Liu He was captured by my old general himself, and will be handed over to Yuan Gong at that time! "

Yuan Shang was stunned when he heard the words: "Hand over the military power and Liu He... so particular? I am the one who took away the city that Gongsun Du has been running for many years!"

The envoy said respectfully after hearing the words: "My old general said that he can afford to pay for every city!"

"I have fought several times, but how many soldiers and horses from Liaodong have been confiscated?"

"My old general said that he is only a pawn, and he can afford it!"

"I also took a lot of food and supplies from his Liaodong Army?"

"If you have enough food and fodder, you can afford it!"

"I even killed the eldest son of his Gongsun family!"

"Even my son can afford it!"

Yuan Shang couldn't help feeling emotional when he heard the words, and turned back to the generals and said with emotion: "Look at others, look at the old general Gongsundu, what does it mean that you are small and others are big! That's it! Even your son dares to take it out to pay for it! Who can have this kind of awareness... I can't let go of my child and I can't surrender, this surrender, someone Yuan - accept it!"
