The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

476 Chapter 475 The Mountain Rain Is Coming

Gongsun Gong was brought into the hall of King Yan's mansion. King Yan Zhang Yan had been waiting here for a long time. When he saw Gongsun Gong coming, he turned away from the left and right sides and said to Gongsun Gong, "Sit down!"

"You...you are the King of Yan?" In Gongsun Gong's eyes, he saw a man in his early thirties, handsome, handsome, and dressed in strong clothes, looking very cool.He had never seen King Yan before, and he never thought that King Yan, who was famous all over the world, was so young.

Zhang Yan smiled and said, "Or, you can call me by my name directly, Zhang Yan."

The word Zhang Yan was like a big cauldron pressed on Gongsun Gong's body. He immediately knelt on the ground, bowed to Zhang Yan, and said plausibly: "Gongsun Gong kowtowed to His Royal Highness, the frontier fortress. I am just a frog in a well who has offended His Royal Highness Yan Wang, please forgive me!"

"Get up and talk!" Zhang Yan didn't blame Gongsun Gong, but just said casually.

Gongsun Gong knelt on the ground and dared not get up, and said loudly: "Gongsun Gong is guilty, dare not get up, please punish His Highness King Yan!"

"You are not guilty, but your elder brother Gongsun Kang is guilty!" Zhang Yan said.

After hearing this sentence, a big stone in Gongsun Gong's heart finally fell to the ground. It seems that in King Yan's heart, Gongsun Gong is not a guilty person, but just an accomplice.

"His Royal Highness King Yan is really wise. Everything the criminal minister did was indeed coerced by Gongsun Kang, so the criminal minister had no choice but to do something against his conscience." Gongsun Gong immediately burst into tears. Come to think of it, even a natural actor may not be able to cry as quickly as Gongsun Gong.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Yan sneered in his heart, and said secretly: "It's a shame that this guy is not an actor!"

"I have already found out everything. All of this is what Gongsun Kang did. It has nothing to do with you. However, you are brothers. Even if the king believes you, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty may not believe it. , unless you show some sincerity to this king and do something for this king, after it is done, you will be able to prove that you have nothing to do with this matter, and you can also perform crimes and meritorious deeds, but I don't know if you are willing to do it?" Zhang Yan said.

"Willing, willing, as long as it is ordered by the King of Yan, the guilty minister is willing to do anything." Gongsun Gong immediately agreed, and he was very straightforward. It seems that when the catastrophe comes, even brothers who are blood relatives will become mutual brothers. Strangers you don't know.

In the face of the struggle for power, everything is cruel, and when a person faces life and death, it often reflects a person's true character.

Obviously, Gongsun Gong has no personality to speak of, and he can do whatever it takes to survive, including his blood and flesh brothers.

Zhang Yan had met Gongsun Kang before, and this time he met Gongsun Gong. Although the two were somewhat similar, there was an obvious difference between the two.Gongsun Kang is strong and brave, while Gongsun Gong is short, fat and timid. There is a huge difference between the two.

"Since you are willing to do anything, everything will be easy to talk about. As long as you listen to this king's arrangement and complete the task smoothly, not only will this king not punish you, but he will reward you instead. , you are the Marquis of Liaodong." Zhang Yan said.

After hearing these words, Gongsun Gong's eyes glowed green, as if he cared a lot about this position, and immediately asked, "Really?"

"My king never jokes."

"Okay, I'll do it!"

There was a strange smile on Zhang Yan's face. When he told Gongsun Gong the whole plan, Gongsun Gong listened carefully, for fear of missing every detail. When Zhang Yan finished speaking, he had already told Zhang Yan Everything I said was silently recorded in my mind.

After finishing these words, Zhang Yan said to Gongsun Gong: "Have you remembered everything I said just now?"

"Remember, please rest assured, His Highness Yan, I will definitely not disappoint His Highness Yan's expectations of me!" Gongsun Gong clasped his fists and replied decisively.

Afterwards, Zhang Yan arranged for Gongsun Gong to rest in the guest room in Yan Wang's mansion, and sent someone to accompany him for protection. In name, it was protection, but in fact it was to prevent Gongsun Gong from wandering around.

After Gongsun Gong walked out of the hall, Zhuge Liang came out from the back hall, came to Zhang Yan's side, and asked softly, "His Royal Highness, do you really believe what Gongsun Gong said?"

Zhang Yan smiled, and did not answer Zhuge Liang's question, but said: "If you want to completely eradicate Gongsun Kang, you can only rely on Gongsun Gong."

Zhuge Liang didn't understand the meaning of Zhang Yan's words for a while, so he heard Zhang Yan say: "This time, this king is going to conquer Liaodong himself, and you will go with me."

"Here!" Zhuge Liang said.

The next day, Gongsun Gong was let go, and Mi Qiang was asked to escort Gongsun Gong all the way to Qu County.However, for the next half month, Mi Qiang served Gongsun Gong with delicious food and drink according to Zhang Yan's instructions. It was not until No. 16 that he personally sent Gongsun Gong back to Liaodong. When leaving, he deliberately handed over a package to Gongsun Gong, which contained two forged letters, one from Sun Quan and one from Liu Biao.

And in the past ten days, Xu Sheng, the school captain of Chengmen, had returned to Pengcheng, and reported to Zhang Yan the situation of Mu Jiaxu in Youzhou.

Jia Xu has always been on guard against Liaodong, so he has been training the army secretly. Now the army is strong and strong, and there are generals such as Zhang Yun, Gao Lan, Yan Rou, Tian Yu, Tian Chou and other generals to help out. Liaodong formed a crescent-shaped encirclement trend. As long as Zhang Yan gave an order, the army would immediately attack Liaodong.

And all of this, Yelang's arrogant Liaodong Hou Gongsunkang, didn't know it, he was still enjoying his rich clothes and food in Xiangping City in Liaodong, and quietly waiting for the arrival of his younger brother Gongsun Gong, just waiting for that exciting moment up.

At the same time, Kan Ze, the secret envoy sent by Zhang Yan, had also arrived in Goguryeo. He used his three-inch tongue to state his interests to the king of Goguryeo, and successfully instigated Goguryeo's rebellion.Then, with the help of the Goguryeo people, Kan Ze went to Fuyu, Woju, Dongyi, Yilou and Sanhan respectively, successfully persuaded the support of these Dongyi countries, and expressed the hope that the big man could get rid of Gongsun Kang.

Since Gongsundu came to power in Liaodong, the power of the Gongsun family has grown day by day, and it has expanded its territory year by year. When annexing land, it is inevitable that there will be conflicts with these Dongyi countries such as Goguryeo, Fuyu, Woju, Dongyi, and Yilou. War, but except for Fuyu and Goguryeo, the other Dongyi countries are not the opponents of the Gongsun family, so they are often bullied by the Gongsun family, especially the three countries of Woju, Dongyi and Yilou.

Since Gongsundu passed away and Gongsun Kang took over, he has intensified the collection of taxes, forced men to join the army, and robbed women and livestock. The people of Woju, Dongyi, and Yilou were miserable and forced to move eastward.And Goguryeo and Buyeo were also unable to extricate themselves because of the successive years of war with the Gongsun family. Their own economic prosperity was not very good. Acknowledging the dominance of the Gongsun family in Liaodong, as long as the Gongsun family wants to do something, they must follow behind Gongsun's ass and live a life of humiliation.

In addition, the Gongsun family monopolized the salt and iron business, and sold the salt to the Goguryeo and Buyeo people at a high price, earning a lot of profit, but the national strength of Goguryeo and Buyeo is not as good as the Gongsun family. If they resist, it is very likely will suffer catastrophe.

It was also at this time that Kan Ze came, and with the sincerity of the big man, he persuaded the Dongyi countries, so that the Dongyi countries formed a group and unified to assist the Han army against the Gongsun clan.

However, the King of Goguryeo was very worried that the alliance would disintegrate if Kan Ze left, so he forced Kan Ze to stay in Goguryeo and made Kan Ze the commander-in-chief of the allied forces.Kan Ze wrote the situation here into a letter and sent someone to Pengcheng to explain everything to Zhang Yan.

After Zhang Yan read this letter, he had a general understanding of Dongyi's situation, and he agreed with Kan Ze to stay in Dongyi. The position of General Dongyi allowed him to command the army of the Dongyi Alliance, and actively cooperated with the Han army in combat, and secretly passed his plan to Kan Ze, so that Kan Ze could act according to the plan.

When Gongsun Gong was stranded in Qu County, Zhang Yan had already left Pengcheng with Zhuge Liang, and went to Youzhou in casual clothes. There were only the two of them, and they did not take a single soldier.Because Jia Xu has already arranged everything there, and Zhang Yun, Gao Lan and others are also elite soldiers and strong generals, enough to deal with Gongsun Kang in Liaodong.

As for Pengcheng, it was still handed over to Zhang Zhao, Chen Qun, and Gu Yong for management. Xu Chu and Xu Sheng each led the guards to be responsible for the security of Pengcheng, and assisted Zhang Zhao, Chen Qun, Gu Yong and others.

When Gongsun Gong returned to Liaodong, Zhang Yan and Zhuge Liang had also arrived in Youzhou. The two rode together and galloped all the way, directly entering Jicheng where Mu Jiaxu of Youzhou was located.

At this moment, Jia Xu is looking at the troops he has deployed in the state pastoral mansion, ready to fight at any time, as long as Zhang Yan arrives, the wheels of war will crush the Liaodong Army, which is strong on the outside but strong on the inside.

"Wenhe!"

Suddenly, a voice came in from outside, it was very familiar, Jia Xu turned around, and suddenly saw an all-too-familiar face, it was Yan Wang Zhang Yan.

"His Royal Highness King Yan?" Jia Xu was very surprised, because he had not received any notification, and he didn't know about Zhang Yan's arrival. According to his prediction, he would have to wait ten days and a half months. Yan actually arrived early.

"My subordinates will see His Highness King Yan!" Jia Xu immediately saluted Zhang Yan, and at the same time glanced casually at Zhuge Liang who had just stepped in from the outside of the hall, thinking, "Why is he here too?"
