The smoke from Wuhuan and Lieliucheng that had just gone through the battle drifted to Liaodong with a gust of wind.

In the side hall of Gongsun Kang of the Liaodong General Mansion.

The messenger reported on Wuhuan's battle situation.

After the report, Gongsun Kang, who was sitting on the chair, did not speak for a long time.

After the soldiers who were still kneeling finished their report, General Gongsun actually waited for a stick of incense before he woke up. He slowly raised his head and gave his commander a contemptuous look.

He was just in a daze and didn't even say a word.

After a brief period of trance, his reason finally woke him up.

"Go down, there is someone here, please ask Mr. Jia Fan to come."

After the messenger was released, Gongsun Kang once again narrated to Jia Fan the battle report of King Chu's march into Liaodong.

Of course, Jia Fan suggested that all the generals should be summoned immediately to start strengthening defenses.

While they were discussing, bad news flew into the side hall like snowflakes.

They no longer need to announce battle reports to everyone.

The originally peaceful Liaodong city had dozens of war horses gathering here every day to report the results of the war. The whole city fell into a state of fear, and everyone knew that war was really coming.

Gongsun Kang ordered: "Beat the drum and gather the generals immediately."

After the soldiers got the information, a big bell that shocked the whole city rang throughout Liaodong City.

All the generals, some were eating at home, leaving the dishes and chopsticks before they had time to eat, and running over there; some generals were having fun in bed, and they had no time to be gentle, leaving the beautiful women behind and flying on their horses...

All the generals already knew the general situation at home and on the road, and already knew the life and death of Liaodong.

When they arrived at the main hall, they avoided the usual greetings and greetings, and instead directly asked about the rumors about the front line.

All the generals and civilian officials had sad faces.

"The general has arrived!"

As the soldiers of the general's palace sang.

Everyone's eyes began to gather at the door, and they all saw a thirty-year-old general dressed in military uniform. He was General Gongsun Kang of Liaodong.

After sitting in his seat, Gongsun Kang knew that he would not have time to chat with these people after coming today. He must make a battle plan this morning.

Mr. Jia Fan sat next to him with Gongsun Kang.

Gongsun Kang took the lead and said: "Generals and county officials, I have summoned you today. You also know that the Chu army has captured Wuhuan, and there is also an army of 50,000 led by Lu Bu attacking us in front. After Wuhuan was captured,

, our north is also threatened by heavy troops, and now we are fighting on two fronts, please discuss it!"

Since ancient times, military commanders have been less talkative and civil servants have been more pedantic when discussing matters.

At this time, Shi, a pedantic governor of Liaodong, was the first to say: "General, since our Liaodong surrendered to Yuan Shao, we have been exploited in various ways many times, especially in the battle of Guandu in the Central Plains when Yuan Shao ordered the general to take out several of the Liaodong children.

One hundred thousand elites, only one or two, can fight in one battle

Our main force in Liaodong has all been killed in the battle, which is a tragedy! This time the Chu army has gathered into an army of hundreds of thousands. I think our army is really difficult to resist in this battle. For the sake of the people of Liaodong, we might as well surrender! For eternity

Guarding Liaodong, hereditary and irreplaceable, I hope the generals will be three or four!"

Although Liaodong Changshi's words did not represent everyone's thoughts, they definitely represented some of them. After the words fell, some people began to look at him approvingly and whisper among themselves.

Gongsun Kang slowly glanced at these civil servants and generals. Everyone was shocked by Gongsun Kang's eyes. They began to become quiet out of fear, but the aura of surrender had secretly begun to surge.

Just when this trend was about to take over, a twenty-year-old young general suddenly stepped forward and said loudly: "Master Changshi, this is wrong!"

Everyone focused their attention on this person, who was Gongsun Kang's son, Gongsun Yuan.

Gongsun Yuan made an impassioned speech: "Generals, are the swords in your waists rusty? Are you still not the descendant of the King of Liaodong? When faced with the tens of thousands of Goryeo's elite soldiers and brave generals, the hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty were helpless.

We, the people from Liaodong, only had ten thousand people, but we destroyed Pingyang in one battle and occupied half of the Korean island. It has only been a few years, but you are afraid of the city like this."

The more Gongsun Yuan spoke, the more excited he became, and the tone became more serious. At this time, he took a few steps forward to ask for instructions, saying that he would personally lead ten thousand troops to attack Lu Bu's army.

After Gongsun Yuan's request, several generals also began to ask for battle, but the civil servants still said dejected words.

Gongsun Kang was sitting on his seat, looking at his young nephew. He knew that the throne of General Liaodong originally belonged to this young nephew. However, when his eldest brother passed away, this nephew was only ten years old and could not hold the position.

The seat of the general in the land of four battles was finally chosen.

He has inherited this throne. Since his nephew started participating in the war at the age of sixteen, he has repeatedly made military exploits and shocked Liaodong. Gongsun Kang also feels that his position as general is threatened. If his performance today is worse than his nephew, he will

What comes to mind is that the generals from all over the world no longer trust him, but his nephew.

Gongsun Kang finally made up his mind and decided to fight regardless of the ideas he and Jia Fan had agreed upon.

He ordered Gongsun Kang to be the commander-in-chief of thousands of troops and lead ten lieutenants and 50,000 troops to fight against Lu Bu's army. In addition, he sent his own general Yang Zuo north to Lieliucheng to resist the threat of the Chu army from the north.

Gongsun Kang himself chose to stick to the rigid combat plan of defending the entire Liaodong City.

The army slowly drove out of Liaodong City like a torrent.

Gongsun Yuan enjoyed the farewell of the people of Liaodong like a victorious hero, because all the people of Liaodong hoped for peace and did not want their relatives to die on the battlefield again.

The old mother held a basket in her hand and stuffed things for the soldiers who were going on the expedition. The young women and wives prepared bowls of water bags for the expedition and gave them to these people to wear. The others said goodbye with tears.

Seeing this scene, Gongsun Yuan was actually a little proud.

A captain next to him asked: "General, in this expedition, we are facing the elite of the Chu army, and Lu Bu is a world-famous brave general. How can you still laugh?"

Gongsun Yuan looked back and saw that it was his army commander.

"A sad soldier will win. You haven't seen that our soldiers have now turned this grief and anger into invisible power. Although I can't guarantee that we can achieve any great victory, it is still possible to fight to the death!"

After Gongsun Yuanzhi finished speaking with satisfaction, he waved his riding whip and ordered: "Send orders to all armies to speed up the advance. We must reach the frontier fortress within two days. That is our last line of defense in Liaodong!"

"yes!"

After the Army Sima responded, the messengers at all levels in the army began to pass on various orders to speed up. The soldiers who had just come out of sadness suddenly accelerated their advance. The horse army began to gallop, and the infantry phalanx behind them also began to stride forward.

stand up.

The one who was really worried about this matter was not Gongsun Yuan, but Jia Fan.

After Jia Fan watched Gongsun Yuan off, he hurried by car to Liaodong General's Mansion, Gongsun Kang's residence.

Looking at the majestic palace and the illustrious military exploits of the former Liaodong generals, Jia Fan stood on the imperial steps and couldn't help but be filled with emotion. He thought of the former Liao generals Gongsun Du and Gongsun Gong when they were still alive. How spectacular it was at that time.

Along the way, they attacked Wuhuan in the north, Korea in the south, and Gongsun Zan in the east...

"All of this will be reduced to ashes with the flames of war. What a pity! What a pity!"

The guide next to him asked doubtfully: "Mr. Jia, didn't General Gongsun Yuan already lead the army to resist? Why are you still feeling so emotional?"

Jia Fan originally wanted to explain, but when he saw that it was a minor official in the general's palace, he knew that they only knew who was loyal to the rich and did not care who the rich were, so he just shook his head, laughed loudly and said: "We

Come on, let’s go!”

Gongsun Kang, who was in his inner room concentrating on writing and resting his mind, once again stopped his rest because of Jia Fan's request for an audience.

Gongsun Kang never dared to neglect this master, so he hurriedly invited him in.

After sitting down, the maid served the tea.

Jia Fan asked eagerly and slightly reproachfully: "My lord, didn't we agree to hold on and then negotiate with the Chu army? Why did you forget our phalanx and use fighting to promote talks? How could you exclude all the elites?"

As for the decisive battle, once their entire army is wiped out, what will we have as a bargaining chip?"

In fact, as the lord of Liaodong, Gongsun Kang certainly knew his mistake, but he knew that his mistake was made after he issued his order, but he did not want to annul the order he had just issued.

"I was so excited by Gongsun Yuan's words that I agreed to send troops..."

Jia Fan also saw Gongsun Kang's annoyance.

Gongsun Kang asked Jia Fan how to solve this matter.

When Jia Fan saw Gongsun Kang's expression of helplessness, he could only tell this somewhat reckless general his plan.

Hold on to Liaodong City and not reinforce General Gongsun Yuan, causing the destruction of Gongsun Yuan's entire army, and then forcing those generals and civil servants who still wanted to fight to be completely disillusioned, and then accept surrender.

From this time, Gongsun Kang and Jia Fan truly confirmed the fact of surrendering to the Chu army.

After Jia Fan stated his point of view, Gongsun Kang asked with some confusion: "So, what do the people think of us? Then all our elites will die on the battlefield..."

Jia Fan looked at his former student, stood up and replied: "General, now is no longer the time to hesitate, the enemy has begun to attack. If we are really undecided, I think we will end up with Yuan Tan."

The end is not Yuan Shang’s end.”

"All right!"

After Jia Fan left, the entire Liaodong city began a recruitment campaign. This time the recruitment was not to reinforce the front line, but to stick to Liaodong as a final defensive bargaining chip.
Chapter completed!
