Three Kingdoms: I, the eldest son of Cao, a loving father of a great man!

Chapter 588 Gongsun Kang’s response

After Gongsun Zan heard Gongsun Kang's words, he laughed.

Seeing Gongsun Zan laughing, Gongsun Kang immediately became anxious: "Brother, how long has it been? Are you still in the mood to laugh here?"

The Gongsun family was anxious when they saw Gongsun Kang, so he Shi Shiran said: "Brother, don't be anxious, now that things have happened, we can only stick to Xuantu County!"

"But how can we defend this? The strength gap between us and Cao Jun is too big!"

Gongsun Kang shook his head helplessly. He felt that if they had a head-on confrontation with Cao Jun, they would have no chance of winning.

After hearing this, Gongsun Zan on the side said: "We definitely have no chance of winning when we face Cao Jun alone, so naturally we need to find allies!"

"Looking for allies?" Gongsun Kang repeated in surprise, and then asked with a puzzled face: "In this situation, who dares to be our ally?"

At this time, Gongsun Kang couldn't figure out where to find this ally.

After all, in the current situation, the states in the northern pass have been returned to the imperial court by Cao Ang.

Now, the closest princes to them are Xiliang and Jingzhou Liu Biao.

However, Xiliang is currently in civil strife, and Liu Biao of Jingzhou is harassed by Sun Ce and is too busy to care for himself. How can he have time to support them?

Thinking of this, Gongsun Kang couldn't help but sigh.

Gongsun Zan looked at Gongsun Kang's bitter and resentful look and said with a smile on his face: "Actually, we only need the support of Wuhuan and Goguryeo in the south, and together we can resist Cao Jun. "

"This..." Gongsun Kang asked with a strange expression: "But brother, the last time Wuhuan fought against Cao's army, we helped the Cao family fight against Wuhuan. Now we ask them for help, isn't it a bit inappropriate? ah?"

When Gongsun Zan heard this, he smiled faintly and said: "At this time, at that time, at that time, the Wuhuan wanted to invade my land in the Central Plains, and they would naturally have to give them a head-on attack."

"But now, we are cornered by Cao Jun, how can we control so much!"

At this time, Gongsun Zan's face was full of seriousness. This battle was a battle related to their survival. How could he not be serious.

But Gongsun Kang was still worried that Wuhuan would not send troops to assist them.

Gongsun Zan saw what Gongsun Kang was thinking, so he said calmly: "Xian brother, don't think so much. We still need to send people to ask whether Wuhuan will send troops."

"Then...who should we send?" Gongsun Kang frowned and thought about who should be sent to Wuhuan for help.

Seeing this, Gongsun Zan also thought about it and finally made a decision: "Forget it, I'll go to Wuhuan myself. If I send someone else to go, I'm afraid those people in Wuhuan won't buy it."

Hearing this, Gongsun Kang nodded, and then continued to ask: "But brother, even if Wuhuan agrees to send troops to help us, I'm afraid it won't be able to stop Cao Jun's attack!"

Gongsun Zan nodded and said, "That's true, so we have to find another ally!"

"Who?" Gongsun Kang asked curiously after hearing this.

"Goguryeo!" Gongsun Zan said with a serious face.

Gongsun Kang repeated in surprise: "Goguryeo?"

Then, he nodded and said: "That's fine. I have lived in Liaodong for a long time, and I do know a lot of people from Goguryeo. I can go and test their intentions."

After Gongsun Kang and Gongsun Kang made their decision, they took gifts and went to Wuhuan and Goguryeo respectively.

A few days later, Liaodong and Xi'an were at peace. Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, and Lu Bu had already returned with their men, and they told Cao Ang all about Gongsun Kang's reaction.

After hearing this, Cao Ang smiled lightly.

When Guo Jia saw this, he also smiled slightly and said to Cao Ang: "Young General, it seems that this Gongsun Kang will not submit obediently."

Upon hearing this, Cao Ang nodded noncommittally.

When Lu Bu heard this, he said with confusion on his face: "This is so possible. I think Gongsun Kang was scared to death. He should agree to the young general's conditions, right?"

Not only Lu Bu thought this way, Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong also felt that Gongsun Kang would no longer resist.

Cao Ang looked at the three generals, looked at Guo Jia with a smile, and explained: "Fengxiao, please tell me your opinion."

When Guo Jia heard this, he also knew what Cao Ang meant, which was to let him explain to Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun and Lu Bu.

So he smiled and said: "Gongsun Kang was indeed frightened by the names of the three generals and the major general, but he would not give up his military power so easily and move to the interior."

"Gongsun Kang has been the local emperor for so many years. He is far away from the emperor. In Liaodong, he is the one and only existence. He will not give up this huge power easily."

"In addition, if Gongsun Kang was really willing to compromise, he would not have waited for the three generals to come back and would have sent the letter of surrender in advance. But now he has not sent the letter of surrender."

"In this way, his meaning will be obvious."

After listening to Guo Jia's explanation, the expressions on the third general's faces were a little solemn.

Zhao Yun even asked directly: "Young General, Mr. Fengxiao, if Gongsun Kang does not agree to our conditions, what will he be doing now?"

Cao Ang smiled lightly when he heard this and said, "I must be looking for some allies."

In fact, Cao Ang had already expected that Gongsun Kang and Gongsun Zan would not be captured without mercy.

He had asked Zhang Liao to be stationed in western Liaoning before. In fact, his purpose was not only to capture Liaodong County, but also Gongsun Zan and Gongsun Kang who were far away in Xuantu County. They were also the goals of Cao Ang's trip.

After containing the main road in western Liaoning, Gongsun Kang was unable to communicate with the interior, and he was unable to collude with the various princes in the south.

As a result, the only allies Gongsun Kang could find were the nomads in the north.

By sharing the vision, Cao Ang made the golden eagle hover over Xuantu County and clearly saw Gongsun Zan leading his people to Wuhuan.

However, a wise man will make a mistake after thinking a lot.

Cao Ang ignored Goguryeo in the south.

Looking at Gongsun Zan heading to Wuhuan, Cao Ang couldn't help but smile disdainfully: "This Gongsun Zan defeated the Wuhuan tribes last time, but this time he went to ask for help. Isn't this self-humiliation?"

Cao Ang was not optimistic about Gongsun Zan's approach at all.

Then, he began to arrange his manpower and prepare to attack Xuantu County.

Cao Ang found Chen Dao and said to him, "Uncle Zhi, I have a very important task here that I want to entrust to you!"
