The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 367
Gongsun Kang sent people to send letters, and by the way there were boxes of gold, silver and jewelry. The purpose was nothing more than to hope to continue to maintain the status of Gongsun's family.

The letter stated that they could obey Dongfang Sheng's orders, hand over a certain amount of property every year, and deploy troops to fight for Dongfang Sheng in wartime.

This condition can be said to be a great victory. You must know that even Cao Cao could only do so much in the past. Later, when Emperor Wei Ming had some civil strife in the Gongsun family and was wiped out by Sima Yi, the process was not so smooth. .

Apart from Dongfang Sheng in the army account, everyone else was a little bit moved. After all, starting a war would hurt the enemy a thousand and hurt a lot. If you can sign the alliance under the city, it may not be a big victory for your side.

Subduing the enemy without fighting is what the ancients have always pursued, but it is a pity that Dongfang Sheng hates it deeply.

If a country occupies a place and does not completely eradicate the local ruler and his forces, but only in name, the result will be like a certain empire in later generations that claims that the sun never sets, and all the occupied territories will eventually disappear.

Dongfang Sheng didn't want a false name, so he immediately rejected Gongsun Kang's proposal.

After sending away Gongsun Kang's envoy, Dongfang Sheng returned to the military account and explained: "Do you think he really surrendered to us? Once we withdraw our troops, if we relax our vigilance against him in the future, Gongsun Kang can go to sea with his navy." Contact other people, then there will be a big threat in our rear."

The people present were all smart people, and they understood the reasoning of this as soon as they heard it. Zhao Yun and the others gave up the idea of ​​admonishing Dongfang Sheng together.

"According to the news sent back by the scout battalion, this Gongsun Kang is not a mediocre man." Dongfang Sheng took a deep breath and said, "His soldiers fought bravely and participated in a large number of wars. The Xianbei and Goryeo both won."

"Their soldiers are big, with good physical strength and endurance. Although they don't have the same training as ours, their combat effectiveness is not weaker than ours." Zhao Yun continued.

Tuobahan frowned and said: "Their riding skills are definitely top-notch, probably because of their frequent contact with Xianbei and the others."

Sima Bao was silent for a while and said, "What's the master's plan?"

"Three light cavalry, supplemented by heavy cavalry, broke up Gongsun Kang's infantry formation. Each of you led a team of light cavalry to restrain his cavalry. I personally led the heavy cavalry to go straight to the middle." Dongfang Sheng said in a deep voice. "Hurry up and get ready."

"Here!"

Everyone responded in unison, and then filed out.

When Dongfang Sheng was about to put on the small armor and go out, a soldier outside reported: "Master, there are people outside asking to see you."

"Is it from Gongsun Kang?" Dongfang Sheng frowned and asked.

"No, it's an old man." The soldier replied.

"Oh, let him come in quickly." Dongfang Sheng said with a soothed brow.

Before the man came in, Dongfang Sheng smelled a strong smell of blood, and he subconsciously grabbed the remaining blood on the gun rack.

A fat old man walked in from outside the military tent. It was Wang Rong's grandfather, Wang Yue. killed in a short time.

"It's you?" Dongfang Sheng let go of the bloody hand and asked with some doubts: "Who are these people?"

"Gongsun Kang and his advisers and generals." Wang Yue said as he threw the head on the ground.

Dongfang Sheng showed a horrified look and said, "You...killed them all?"

"Thousands of troops are defeated by an assassin's sword!" Wang Yue said with some conceit, "Do you know who I am?"

Dongfang Sheng shook his head, Wang Yue stood with his hands behind his back, exuding an unrivaled aura for a while, and said: "I am Wang Yue, the former emperor of the Han Dynasty, and I am responsible for teaching the emperor swordsmanship."

"I'm sorry!" Dongfang Sheng said with some emotion, "Please take your seat."

The expression Dongfang Sheng showed was not the slightest affectation. People in this era value reputation. Since Wang Yue said so, it must be true, and the emperor teacher at this time must have superb swordsmanship to be able to take on the role, just like the Taixue Academy at this time. Like the Ph.D.s in the university, there are only more than 50 Ph.D.s in Taixue University, and the number of places will not increase without limit.

Wang Yue accepted Dongfang Sheng's courtesy calmly, sat on Dongfang Sheng's chair and said, "My granddaughter Rongrong likes you. Give her an equal status, so that I can feel at ease when I leave."

Oops, he must have been seriously injured!Dongfang Sheng immediately stepped forward and took out a porcelain bottle to feed Wang Yue a life-saving pill.

"No need, I know my body, it's a waste to use anything." Wang Yue coughed, and a smear of blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth: "Take good care of Rong Rong, or I won't let you go!"

"I will!" Dongfang Sheng nodded solemnly.

"Shi A is too utilitarian, you should be careful when you meet him in the future." Wang Yue's aura has become weaker and weaker, "You have to be careful of Zhong Da, his strategy and scheming are the best among all my disciples." of!"

"I really want to see Rongrong again, but she has already returned to Liucheng." After Wang Yue finished speaking, his head tilted and he died, a generation of swordsmanship masters fell.

You are an emperor's teacher but become a patron of the gentry, and finally died in the barracks as an assassin.Dongfang Sheng felt infinite emotion in his heart.

"Master!" Dongfang Sheng didn't react until Zhao Yun yelled.

"Gongsun Kang is dead." Dongfang Sheng said sadly, "But the soldiers under him probably don't know yet. You should take the heads on the ground and go to their barracks to surrender."

"Prepare some white cloth and white clothes tomorrow, I will use them." Dongfang Sheng then ordered to the soldiers around him: "Find a place to bury him."

"How to set up the tombstone?" asked the soldier.

"Emperor Wang Yue." Dongfang Sheng turned around and said.

"Grandpa!" A grief-stricken voice sounded outside the military tent, and then broke into a woman in black casual clothes. It was Wang Rong.

When she saw the dead Wang Yue sitting on the chair, tears flowed out uncontrollably.

Dongfang Sheng saw Wang Rong put her arms around her, and asked, "Your grandfather said at the last time that you had returned to Liucheng, why are you here?"

"Grandpa told me to go back to Liucheng to get some things, but on the way back, I felt a little worried. The chain of the jade pendant on my chest was also broken, so I hurried back." Wang Rong said sobbing.
