Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 283 Yuan Shang's Death
Li Song handed the gunpowder manufacturing guide in his hand to Xu Chu and said, "Zhongkang! Give this to the craftsmen and ask them to make a copy according to the above description. You will supervise this matter yourself."

Although he had the gunpowder manufacturing guide, Li Song decided to make a gunpowder first to try the effect, and then consider whether to mass-produce it.

"Promise!" Xu Chu took the manufacturing guide from Li Song and took the order to leave.

Three days later, a prepared gunpowder appeared in front of Li Song. Li Song put the gunpowder on the ground, asked someone to fetch fire, threw it on the gunpowder, and the gunpowder instantly ignited.

It was confirmed that the effect of the gunpowder was good, but there was a fatal problem, that is, the gunpowder was easy to be damp and difficult to store, so Li Song ordered people to make some gunpowder first and build a special room for storing gunpowder.

Make sure that the inside is completely dry, so that it is not easy to cause the gunpowder to get wet. At the same time, it is also ordered that there should be no sparks within a radius of [-] miles of the gunpowder warehouse, so as not to detonate the gunpowder.

In addition, hand over the manufacturing guide and gunpowder of the Shenji Arrow to the weapon craftsmen, hoping that they can make the Shenji Arrow.

"Report to the Prime Minister! General Xiang ordered someone to send the victory report!" While these things were going on in an orderly manner, Xiang Yu's victory document was also delivered to Li Song.

"Read!" Li Song said softly.

Xu Chu opened the victory report and read: "My minister Xiang Shaoyu reported to the prime minister that our army met the Karasuma army in the area of ​​Bailang Mountain. After a hard fight, we defeated the Karasuma army and our army won a complete victory..."

"It's a pity that although Shan Yu Tadun cut Karasuma, Yuan Shang, Wu Yan and others fled to Liaodong. I was negligent for a while, which caused Yuan Shang and others to escape. I ask the prime minister to punish them!"

After Xu Chu finished reading, he stood aside and waited for Li Song's decision on how to deal with Yuan Shang's matter.

"Zhongkang! Reply to Xiang Shaoyu and tell him about Yuan Shang's matter, he doesn't need to worry about it! This time he broke Karasuma and killed Tadun, he contributed a lot! After the class teacher returns to the court, he will be promoted to a noble. "Li Song raised his head and said.

"Promise!" Xu Chu took the order to go, ordered someone to bring Li Song's words to Xiang Yu, turned back to Li Song, and asked, "Prime Minister! Yuan Shang has fled to Liaodong now, why don't we take this opportunity to capture him?" Back? Once he is calmed down, it will inevitably not become a worry for the future!"

Xu Chu was curious about Li Song's seeming not worried when he learned that Yuan Shang fled to Liaodong, and couldn't help but feel puzzled.

Li Song smiled slightly after hearing this, and didn't say why, because he knew that Yuan Shang fled to Liaodong, which was the time of his death. Gongsun Kang of Liaodong would chop off his head and send it to him, but Xu Chu didn't know.

Li Song turned his head, looked at Sima Yi who was kneeling aside, drinking tea, and said, "Zhongda, do you know why I did this?"

"Speak to the Prime Minister!" Sima Yi put down the teacup in his hand, cupped his hands and said, "Before Yuan Shao was alive, he often annexed the land of Liaodong, and Gongsun Kang of Liaodong had always been suspicious of Yuan Shang and others. Be afraid! Then they may join forces to deal with us."

"Our army has been fighting for years, and they are already exhausted! If we fight them to the end, the gains will outweigh the losses!"

"If we don't attack for the time being, they will relax their vigilance! They will start killing each other. Yuan Shang and others must be beheaded by Gongsun Kang in the end, so the prime minister is not worried that Yuan Shang and others will have the opportunity to become bigger."

"I predict that when Yuan Shang and others escape to Liaodong, Gongsun Kang will definitely kill them, present their heads, and ask the prime minister to show his loyalty, hoping to protect the land of Liaodong."

"That's right! What Zhongda said is what I thought in my heart. Gongsun Kang is afraid of Yuan Shang, and he is even more afraid of me. As long as I don't use troops against Liaodong, I predict that Gongsun Kang will kill Yuan Shang and send his head. We just You need to wait patiently, why bother to mobilize people.”

"Because Gongsun Kang never wanted to kill Yuan Shang to avenge Yuan Shao's annexation of Liaodong in the past! In the past, the Yuan family was powerful, so Gongsun Kang had to swallow this breath. Now that Yuan Shang is weak, Gongsun Kang will naturally not let go." Live this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." Li Song said.

In Li Song's view, the reason why Gongsun Kang killed Yuan Shang and others was to solve Yuan Shang's hidden danger, and to claim credit for himself. King of Liaodong.

Only then did Xu Chu understand the intricacies of it. No wonder the prime minister asked General Xiang Shaoyu to ignore them and transfer them back directly.

Therefore, Li Song expected that when there was no external pressure, both Gongsun Kang and Yuan Shang would raise their butcher knives to each other, but the balance of final victory would tilt towards Gongsun Kang.

Just as Li Song expected, after Yuan Shang, Wu Yan and others fled to Liaodong, they immediately sent someone to send a letter to Gongsun Kang saying that they wanted to join him and hoped that he would agree.

However, Yuan Shangze, Wu Yan and others were intensively discussing to seize Gongsun Kang's land in Liaodong. They wanted to rely on their strength to kill Gongsun Kang, seize Gongsun Kang's territory, and become the new master of Liaodong.

Unfortunately!They underestimated Gongsun Kang and overestimated themselves. They also forgot that Yuan Shao wanted to seize Liaodong in the first place. He, Yuan Shang, forgot.

Some people remember it all the time, like a stick in their throat!Gongsun Kang has never forgotten that this time Yuan Shang came to join him, he did not believe it, and he wanted to kill Yuan Shang from the bottom of his heart.

Killing Yuan Shang and giving his head to Li Song by the way, Gongsun Kang can continue to be his king of Liaodong, and he can still be granted the title by the imperial court. After all, beheading Yuan Shang is a great achievement, and the imperial court can't pretend not to see it. Otherwise, that prince would dare to work for the court in the future.

Therefore, Gongsun Kang invited them to the banquet on the grounds of throwing a banquet for them, and hid a lot of soldiers and horses inside. When Yuan Shang and others stepped in, it was the time for Yuan Shang and others to die.

Yuan Shang and others didn't know that this was Gongsun Kang's trick!So he directly agreed to Gongsun Kang, and then arranged everything, wanting to take the opportunity to eradicate Gongsun Kang and seize Gongsun Kang's territory.

Yuan Shang and Gongsun Kang both had their own ghosts and wanted to eradicate each other. Yuan Shang arrived as scheduled and came to Gongsun Kang.

When Yuan Shang and others appeared in front of Gongsun Kang, Gongsun Kang immediately smashed the jade cup in his hand, and the soldiers who had been ambushing here for a long time rushed out, subdued Yuan Shang and others, and beheaded them all.The head was sent to Li Song by Gongsun Kang.

Congratulations to Li Song!At the same time, I hope to get the canonization of the imperial court, and the land of Liaodong will belong to him Gongsun Kang forever.

Xiang Yu and others returned to Pinggu County and joined Li Song. Soon after, Gongsun Kang's envoy came to see him with the heads of Yuan Shang and others.
