The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 362 The Strength of the Gongsun Family
While Dongfang Sheng stopped to rectify Liucheng's government affairs, he continued to send troops over. At the same time, he also sent people to sneak into Liaodong to inquire about Gongsun Kang's news.

A month later, Dongfang Sheng obtained detailed information about Gongsun Kang.

Then he held an emergency meeting and called Zhao Yun, Sima Bao and Badao, as well as Tuobahan who had just arrived in Liucheng.

Dongfang Sheng was sitting in the military tent with a serious expression, and on the tables on both sides was a piece of information about the Gongsun family in Liaodong.

After entering the door, everyone sat down to read the information in silence, and there was only the sound of paper being turned in the entire military tent.

"This Gongsun Kang actually walks and rides, and the navy and three armies are ready!" Badao was the first to speak out.

"Their navy can fight across the sea!" Zhao Yun added.

"Neither Goguryeo nor Wuhuan are his opponents." Tuobahan continued. "Their cavalry and infantry are very strong."

"Another Shi Xie and Han Sui." Sima Bao said with emotion.

Dongfang Sheng looked around at the crowd and asked, "What do you all think I should do?"

Everyone was a little silent. Shi Xie and Han Sui were definitely the local overlords. It was easy to defeat them, but to completely defeat them and take Jiaozhou and Liangzhou as their own, they had to pay a certain price.

In history, Liaodong County was finally recovered by Sima Yi. Counting all the time, Sima Yi took more than a year.

Moreover, when Sima Yi conquered Liaodong, it was already at the peak moment when Emperor Wei Ming was in power and Wei Guo was already at its peak. In this way, he spent about a year, and finally trapped Gongsun Yuan in the city by besieging the city, relying on sufficient food and grass consumption to win Gongsun Yuan.

The difficulty of this can be imagined, because Gongsun Kang, Shi Xie, and Han Sui, like them, have been operating in a separate area for several generations, and they are deeply rooted in the local area.

To deal with such people, once you attack in, you will become an 'invader', at least in the eyes of the locals, so the battle will be extremely difficult, and many people choose to use the way of guarding the capital when they finally win. Shock the people.

Dongfang Sheng took a deep breath and said, "I am sure to win Liaodong! If I don't take Liaodong at this time, there will be a future trouble in Youzhou in the future, which will cause even greater hidden dangers!"

What Dongfang Sheng said made all the generals present frowned and thought deeply. They divided Youzhou, Qingzhou and Xuzhou. The tail of Liaodong is here, and when Gongsun Kang unites with any of the other princes with a navy capable of crossing the sea, it will be enough to give Dongfang Sheng a headache.

"Let's talk about your ideas." Dongfang Sheng continued: "Liaodong must be won, and it must be won as quickly as possible, because we don't have much time."

"Use the air force!" Badao said excitedly, his air force has been idle for a while.

"No, the air force is suitable for attacking the city during a stalemate. This time we want to attack Gongsun Kang, we must defeat their infantry and cavalry, and of course prevent them from escaping from the sea." Dongfang Sheng shook his head and said.

"Light cavalry is at the front, and heavy armor is at the back." Tuobahan suggested.

Dongfang Sheng groaned and said, "This is fine. Fortunately, the heavy-armored team withstood the enemy's attack at White Wolf Mountain."

"Tuoba and I each led a team of light cavalry to harass the territory of Liaodong. My lord, you lead a heavy armored team and follow closely. After we find a flat place, how about fighting Gongsun Kang to determine the outcome?" Zhao Yun threw himself thought way.

"Okay, but I think if Xingba hasn't come yet, we don't need to attack for now." Dongfang Sheng nodded in agreement.

"My lord, the general has sent a letter." As soon as Dongfang Sheng finished speaking, a soldier shouted outside the door.

"Come in!" Dongfang Sheng shouted.

The personal soldier held a letter box sealed with wax in both hands and handed it to Dongfang Sheng, then turned and left.

Dongfang Sheng opened the letter box with a knife, took out the letter inside and read it carefully, and said: "The big deal is half done! Xingba has already controlled the entire Bohai Strait, and now there are no ships that can go out!"

"Go back immediately to rectify the soldiers under your command. The whole army except Badao will go to Liaodong tomorrow morning!" Dongfang Sheng said, throwing the knife on the table.

"Here!"

Everyone responded in unison.

After everyone left, Dongfang Sheng sighed worriedly and said, "I don't know what move you will make this time?"

No matter how scary Gongsun Kang is, Dongfang Sheng would not be too worried, but if someone like Sima Yi was hidden behind his back like last time in Bailangshan, Dongfang Sheng would feel pressured.

But relatively speaking, Dongfang Sheng also felt that his heart was full of fighting spirit. When he was a mercenary, he had encountered several formidable opponents, and they were all defeated by him. The stronger the person, the stronger the opponent, Dongfang Sheng can also display stronger strength accordingly.

At the same time that Dongfang Sheng decided to attack Liaodong, in the home of a local gentry in Liucheng, a young man in a black robe was kneeling upright on a mat, next to him was an old man with white beard and hair.

The old man took the auxiliary seat, while the young man took the main seat.

"So, he's going to attack Liaodong in the next few days?" The young man's eyes were dark, but his tone was good.

He was Sima Yi who set up Bailang Mountain before, but Dongfang Sheng didn't know that Sima Yi was staying in Liucheng openly.

"Well, does the Hall Master want to cause some trouble in Liucheng when the Eastern Thieves are going to fight?" The old man said with a smile, "As long as I call, everyone will still listen to my opinion."

"No, it's useless to do so. Instead, it will give him a chance to completely eradicate our influence in Liucheng." Sima Yi shook his head and said, "Hey, I want to have fun with him in Liaodong."

"I heard that Dongfang Sheng is very happy with Fenglao?" the old man asked cautiously.

"Huh!" Sima Yi immediately snorted when he heard the old man's words: "Those are just rumors, you should know who the most outstanding member of the Sima family is!"

"Okay, you go out first, I want to read a book." Sima Yi waved his hand and said.

The old man bowed his head and walked backwards.

Just as Sima Yi picked up a roll of bamboo slips, the screen behind him moved slightly.

"Why did the hall master summon me?" A slightly fat old man appeared in front of Sima Yi. He was dressed in burlap, his knuckles were a bit big, and his palms were even more generous. He looked like he could use a sword or a knife. good hand.

"The teacher is here." Sima Yi put down the bamboo slips, stood up and bowed.

"I don't dare to be a subordinate." The fat old man said indifferently.

"Recently, I have messed with a very powerful person." Sima Yi said with a restrained smile. "I hope the teacher can send a disciple to protect me."
