I rode and slashed unparalleled in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 428 God is jealous of talented people?

Make a desperate effort?
Gongsun Zhao's face was gloomy and uncertain, and he was obviously trying to calm his inner anger and struggle.

In his position as the commander of a vassal state, he did use this position to maintain some subtle relations with the Wuhuan people.

However, he just wanted to use them to gain some benefits.

This is something that benefits both parties.

Guiding those violent Wuhuan people to rob specific targets can not only strike at political enemies, but also control the economic lifeline of the Wuhuan people through their own stolen goods sales channels, thus achieving the goal of limiting the harm caused by the Wuhuan people despite their rebellion.

But, this is just a trick to keep the enemy at bay.

He had never thought of completely betraying the court and murdering the prefect.

"Let me think about this matter again." Gongsun Zhao said in a deep voice, "Don't act rashly for now, and be sure to keep a low profile to avoid being noticed by the Lord of the Mansion."

The middle-aged man heard this, a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes, but he still responded respectfully:
"I'll wait to understand."

"But if we don't make a decision, we will suffer the consequences. If we let him calmly suppress the rebellion this time, our past actions will surely be exposed. I hope the captain will not have the same thoughts as that woman."

As Gongsun Zhao's confidants left, the mansion fell into deathly silence again.

Gongsun Zhao stood alone in the dim candlelight, his brows furrowed, his mind filled with a myriad of thoughts.

He knew he was at a critical crossroads.

On the one hand, he was afraid of Su Yao's tough tactics and worried that if he became a thorn in his side, his fate would be even more miserable than that of the former sergeant.

On the other hand, he was unwilling to completely betray the court and embark on the path of rebellion.

He knew very well that although the court was weak now, it was still strong and could not fall.

It is far from the time for an open break.

The goal of the Gongsun family has always been to accumulate strength outside the Great Wall.

If we rashly raise the banner of rebellion, I am afraid that many people within our own party will have different opinions.

After all, even if they are all from the Gongsun clan, there are many factions within the same clan.

He has Gongsun of Xiangping in Liaodong, Gongsun of Lingzhi in Liaoxi, and even Gongsun of Xuantu. Not only do they all have their own ideas, but sometimes there are even many people with different opinions within their own branches.

Therefore, when the new Lord took office this time, he made a special trip to Xiangping and gave his subordinates many warnings, telling them not to act rashly.

However, these people are so impatient.

Now reality is forcing him to make a choice.

Su Yao's thundering actions and iron-fisted anti-corruption efforts have caused panic among the people of Liaodong County. Those officials who are related to his Gongsun family are even more like frightened birds, fearing that they will be the next to be liquidated.

This ambush by the Wuhuan people was like a sword hanging over his head, ready to fall at any time.

"Is there really no other way out?"

Gongsun Zhao murmured to himself, with a trace of unwillingness and despair in his eyes.

Just then, a burst of hurried footsteps broke the silence of the mansion.

"Oh no, something terrible has happened!"

A personal soldier hurried over, knelt on the ground, and said while panting:

"The Lord has already ordered his troops to go out, and his target is directly the vassal state of Liaodong. It seems that he is going to encircle and suppress the Wuhuan rebels!"

Gongsun Zhao's face suddenly changed when he heard this. He turned around abruptly, grabbed the collar of his personal soldier, and asked sternly:
"Is the news true?"

The guards were frightened by his aura and nodded quickly:

"Absolutely true!"

"Although they blocked the city gates, I happened to be outside and saw with my own eyes that the Lord led 600 cavalry out of the city and headed straight for Liucheng." Upon hearing this, Gongsun Zhao felt an unprecedented sense of crisis in his heart.

He knew that once Su Yao pacified the Wuhuan rebels in Liaodong's vassal state, his next target would most likely be the aristocratic families like them who had connections with the rebels.

By then, no matter how the Gongsun family argues, they will not be able to escape the fate of being liquidated.

"How to do how to do?"

Gongsun Zhao screamed in his heart. He felt as if he was tightly bound by an invisible giant net and could not escape no matter how hard he struggled.

Just then, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

"Since we have come to this, let's just go all the way!"

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Gongsun Zhao's eyes. He suddenly loosened the collar of his personal soldier, turned around and strode towards the study.

In the study, the lights were on. Gongsun Zhao quickly spread out a map and began to carefully study the terrain and troop deployment of Liaodong's vassal states.

The Liaodong governor might have had no time to rest after the series of battles, or he might have attacked hastily due to an emergency, or he might simply have been very skilled and courageous.

He only led 600 cavalrymen out of a force of more than 2,000.
It must be said that this gave him a great opportunity.

Heroes fall, God is jealous of their talents.

The governor of Liaodong was eager to rescue the enemy, so he underestimated the enemy and advanced rashly, and was trapped by the enemy. Although he bravely broke out, he was outnumbered and was seriously injured and unfortunately died.

This battle report is simply perfect.

Even more, if he handed over a few Wuhuan heads, he could add another record of being a heroic commander of a vassal state, avenging his governor, and killing countless bandits.

The only problem is that this troublesome Lord Fu has some strong fighting ability.

According to rumors, he is invincible and can be called a king.
Ordinary Wuhuan horse bandits are probably no match. If they want to truly win this life-and-death battle, they must formulate a careful plan and utilize all available resources.

Time was running out, Gongsun Zhao did not dare to delay even a little:

"Contact Nara Yanshi immediately and tell her that this is the best opportunity if she wants revenge!"

"Nara Yanshi?"

"Who is this?"

When Su Yao was on the way to support the troops, he suddenly became excited when he heard Lu Bu mention this name.

He still understood Yanshi, because she was the queen.

But where did such a person named Yanshi come from among the Wuhuan people, a vassal state of Liaodong?

When Lu Bu heard Su Yao's question, he burst out laughing.

Since entering Xiangping City, each of them has had their own tasks.

In addition to the county magistrate Liu Bei, Gongcao Qian Zhao, Bingcao and Zeicao Zhao Yun, Dian Wei and others who were arranged as soon as they entered the city.

The follow-up team is also carrying out its work in an orderly manner.

Tian Chou served as the household officer and was busy settling immigrants, preparing for spring sowing and dividing new pastures.

Even the eldest girl from the Zhen family was busy setting up a business in the city, and she even organized people to go to the nearby mountains to look for that damn ginseng.

As the Sima of the Liao Army, Lu Fengxian would naturally not be like some other people who idle around all day long.

Instead, he turned his attention to the potential threats around him early on.

He certainly would not miss the Wuhuan people from Liaodong, who were so close to them, or even right behind them:

"Do you still remember that last year, when we were protecting the emperor, we killed a king named Su Puyan?"
