The banquet was already on the residence of Gongsun Kang.

He and Gongsun Gong stood at the door, as if waiting for someone.

From Wuhuan to Liaodong, the two brothers Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang have now recovered their spirits.

The two of them wore armor and swords hanging on their waists, and brought several guards to the back house of Gongsun's family.

Seeing two people from afar, Gongsun Kang and Gongsun Gong came up.

With a smile on his face, Gongsun Kang bowed his hand to the two brothers and said, "The banquet has been held for a long time, but I have been waiting for the two generals for a long time."

"It's a bit troublesome to recruit soldiers." Yuan Xi smiled and replied, "It's really a sin to let the two generals wait for a long time."

"Since you are here, please ask you two to come to the table soon." Gongsun Gong smiled and said, "The wine is already warm, and you two need to drink a few more drinks today."

When they arrived in Liaodong, although the Gongsun brothers provided them with shelter, they had never been as attentive as they are today. Yuan Shang asked suspiciously: "Did the two generals encounter any trouble?"

After sighing, Gongsun Kang asked the two of them: "I wonder if you have heard that Cao Cao led a large army near Liaodong?"

He suddenly mentioned Cao Cao, and Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang suddenly became alert.

Gongsun Gong said from the side: "Brother is willing to resist Cao Cao. I wonder if the two generals can help you?"

After he said this, Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang were relieved.

Yuan Xi replied: "Cao Cao has an irreconcilable grudge with our Yuan family. If he dares to come to Liaodong, we two brothers will certainly step forward."

"It's enough for two of you to say this." Gongsun Kang said to the two with a smile: "Please ask for two to come to the table, let's discuss how to deal with Cao Cao while drinking."

Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang entered the room with the Gongsun brothers.

After sitting down, Yuan Shang looked around and asked Gongsun Kang: "General Gongsun, since it's a banquet, why don't you invite some dancers to come and have fun?"

"The dancer is soft and powerless, what should I do if I want them to help me?" Gongsun Kang said: "I invite two generals to come today, and the negotiation is important."

The more Gongsun Kang said this, the more relieved Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang were.

If there are dancers to entertain themselves, it would be impossible to say whether this banquet would be a Hongmen banquet.

"The wine is warm, I will give you a cup to the two generals first." Gongsun Kang picked up the wine glass and said to the Yuan brothers.

Having put down his guard, Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang also picked up the wine glass and drank with him.

"I wonder what General Gongsun has to defend against the enemy?" Yuan Xi asked.

"We don't have many soldiers in Liaodong." Gongsun Kang said: "Even if I mobilize the entire Liaodong military force, there are only a few thousand people, and I can't be a rival to the Cao family."

"Since we are not an opponent, what are the plans for the general to invite us?" Yuan Shang said: "There are only a thousand soldiers and horses that our brothers have recruited recently..."

"Forcibly resisting is not a match for the Cao family, but I have a plan, just needing the help of two generals." Gongsun Kang said with a smile.

"Dare you ask the general, what are your plans?" Yuan Xi asked.

"If I give the heads of the two generals to Cao Cao, he will definitely let Liaodong go." Gongsun Kang said: "I just don't know if the two generals are willing to hand over the heads to me..."

"Gongsun Kang, you..." As soon as he said this, the Yuan brothers suddenly realized that it was not good. Yuan Shang suddenly stood up and acted as if he was about to draw his sword.

But as soon as he stood up, his eyes turned black and he staggered down.

"Gongsun Kang, you..." Pointing to Gongsun Kang, Yuan Shang gritted his teeth and said, "There was actually poisoning in the wine..."

"The two generals are also people who fight for many years." Gongsun Kang said: "I guess if I force the enemy to take the lead, there will be some casualties. So I did some tricks in the wine, so I asked you two not to blame!"

He stood up and gave a big gift to Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang, and then shouted: "Come here!"

A group of guards rushed in from outside the door.

Gongsun Kang ordered: "Send two generals to the road!"

Cao Cao's army passed by near Liaodong and could slow down.

A few days later, the army was ordered to be stationed, and a soldier ran to Cao Cao: "Report to Cao Gong, Gongsun Gong came to ask for a meeting."

He was patrolling the military camp with Cao Shuo. Seeing the soldiers building the camp tents, he heard that Gongsun Gong was coming. Cao Cao asked Cao Shuo: "Zirong, why do you think Gongsun Gong is here to see me?"

It should have been guessed that it must be Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang was killed, and Cao Shu felt a little uncomfortable.

He still said to Cao Cao: "He should have sent Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang's head to his father."

"You and Yuan Xianfu have a good relationship in the past." Cao Cao asked, "What would you do if he really died?"

"I will go and beat the Gongsun family." Cao Shuo said: "This matter has nothing to do with my father and the Cao family, it is my grudge with the Gongsun family in Liaodong."

"You really have some friendship with the Yuan family." Cao Cao said: "At attacking the Gongsun family, aren't you afraid that I will think too much?"

"Father will never." Cao Shuo said: "Yuan Xi, once Yuan Shang dies, the Yuan family in Hebei will be completely finished. From now on, the entire north belongs to the Cao family. I just sent troops to avenge him because I have a close relationship with Yuan Xianfu. I can't say that the army is Wuming in attacking Liaodong under this name. Liaodong is better than staying in Gongsun Kang's hands."

"What you said is also right." Cao Cao nodded and asked Cao Shuo: "When are you planning to send troops?"

"Go back to my father." Cao Shuo said: "Before attacking Liaodong, I still have a place to take it down."

"Where?" Cao Cao asked.

"Sanhan." Cao Shuo said: "If the Sanhans dare to assassinate me, I have to let them know what pain is. Only by hitting them in pain will they obediently recognize us Central Plains as ancestors in the future and will not continue to fight against our Cao family."

"You say this is alarmist." Cao Cao said with a smile: "Three Hans are just a small place. Wouldn't it be very easy to hit them?"

"What my father said," Cao Shu said, "I wonder if my father has ever heard of Yelang being arrogant? The smaller he is, the more he can crush them with his fingers, the more he will expand himself and think that the whole world is not their opponent. Sanhan is like this, otherwise he would not dare to go to Wuhuan to oppose me. Since they feel that they are invincible in the world, I will give them a chance to verify."

Looking at Cao Shu, Cao Cao smiled slightly: "I said before, do whatever you want, and I'm too lazy to ask more questions."

He then ordered Xu Chu: "Take Gongsun Gong to my tent."

Cao Shu bowed and said to Cao Cao: "Father, it's better for me to avoid this matter!"

"I know you can't bear to see Yuan Xianfu's head." Cao Cao said, "Let's go."
