The Necromancer of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 167
Gongsun Kang stared at Cheng Yu without saying a word for a long time.

Cheng Yu then said to him: "General Gongsun is a sensible person, what Yuan Xianxin wants, he should be clear about what he wants, even if he doesn't need to say it clearly."

"What he wants is the world." Gongsun Kang said: "Our Liaodong is a place of bitter cold, I'm afraid he won't like it."

"Even though Liaodong is bitter and cold, it also has many benefits." Cheng Yu replied, "The mountains and rivers here are so steep that you can easily find many treasures. Yuan Xianxin is greedy for money, so how could he let Liaodong go and ignore it?"

Gongsun Kang frowned and asked Cheng Yu, "What does Cheng Yu mean?"

"While my lord is dragging Yuan Xianxin, Liaodong sent troops to take Yecheng." Cheng Yu replied: "If you lose Yecheng, he will lose his foundation. What kind of disturbance can a rootless apple cause?"

"I heard that Yuan Xianxin has already gone to Huainan." Gongsun Du shook his head slowly: "How long Cao Mengde can last, but it is uncertain. If Liaodong sends troops, Yuan Xianxin has already defeated Huainan, so we have to face his counterattack alone? "

"Since Chen Liu recruited soldiers back then, has my lord ever been unable to hold on?" Cheng Yu asked.

Gongsun Kang was stopped by him, and his brows were slightly frowned: "Cheng Gong means..."

"Although Yuan Xianxin is in Huainan, he will never defeat Shouchun so soon." Cheng Yu said: "General Gongsun took Yecheng, he may not have made any achievements yet."

"I can't decide this matter." Gongsun Kang finally did not let go, he said to Cheng Yu: "First, I must report to my father."

"Prefect Gongsun sleeps all day, how can I ask him?" Cheng Yu asked.

"There are times when I wake up every day." Gongsun Kang replied: "Once my father wakes up, I will invite Cheng Gong to go there."

Gongsun Kang wanted to let go, and Cheng Yu was relieved not to kill him.

He saluted and said, "Thank you, General."

After leaving the front hall, Gongsun Kang always felt that his heart was blocked.

He had indeed heard about Yuan Xu's ability.

If he could choose, being an enemy of Yuan Xu was something he never wanted to do in his life.

But what Cheng Yu said was very clear.

Letting Yuan Xu capture Huainan, in order not to be attacked by the enemy, he will probably not choose to advance directly to the south, but will turn to the north.

By then, Liaodong will be in danger!
Just as he was about to return to his residence, he asked his brother Gongsun Gong to discuss this matter, when a servant came.

The servant said to him: "Gongsun Taishou is awake, please go over."

I just told Cheng Yu that once Gongsun Du wakes up, he will send someone to invite him.

Gongsun Kang told his servant: "Go and invite Cheng Zhongde."

"The prefect said, only the general can go alone." The servant replied.

Gongsun Kang immediately understood that it must be Gongsundu who heard the news that Cheng Yu was in Liaodong after waking up, so he wanted to talk to him.

Without further delay, the servant led the way, and Gongsun Kang went to Gongsun Du's residence.

He is old, and Gongsun Du has been suffering from illness for a long time.

Now it's finally time to run out of fuel.

Lying on the couch, he turned his head to look at Gongsun Kang who was standing aside, and pointed to the beam.

A black cloth bundle was hung on the beam.

Inside is the seal and ribbon of Liaodong prefect that Cao Cao gave to Gongsun Du.

Gongsun Kang took off the burden himself, held it in both hands and handed it to Gongsun Du.

"Throw it away..." Gongsun Du said weakly.

"Father hung on the beam of the house and hasn't thrown it away for many years. Why..." Gongsun Kang looked bewildered.

"Disaster..." Gongsundu said intermittently: "Hebei is too strong...you can vote...you can't fight..."

Gongsun Kang understood what he meant, and asked him: "Dare to ask father, Cheng Zhongde is in Liaodong, what should we do?"

"Send to... Yecheng..." Gongsun Du replied, then slowly closed his eyes, and did not speak again.

Liaodong is only a small place, so it can survive in the troubled times so far, it is entirely because Gongsun judged the situation and knew who to befriend and who to befriend.

Although he never voted for either Cao Cao or Yuan Shao, he never offended any of them.

Cao Cao retreated to Huainan, and was captured on the verge of breaking the city.

At this time, Gongsun Du would of course choose to side with Yuan Xu.

"Yuan Xianxin is very ambitious." Gongsun Kang reminded Gongsun Du: "Liaodong voted for him, will it be our Liaodong in the future?"

Gongsun Du waved his hand: "Go and do it..."

Gongsun Kang understood, he didn't dare to disobey his father's wishes, and ordered the guards: "Catch Cheng Zhongde and send him to Yecheng."

Yuan Xu's attack on Shouchun was not as simple as expected.

The army of fierce corpses attacked the city, and Cao Jun on the top of the city resisted tenaciously.

Cao Jun lit a raging fire under the city, and the city wall was baked and untenable.

Xun Yu ordered that the soldiers put thick wet grass under their feet and drenched their bodies with water.

Even so, the heat was unbearable.

People can't bear it, and the murderous corpse will lose moisture during baking.

The murderous corpse without water, and then contaminated with oil, burned like dry wood.

"The vicious corpses have been attacking the city for so many days." It has been a few days since I came to Huainan, and Shouchun City was still unable to be breached. Yuan Tan was very anxious: "If I lead an army here, I don't know how many soldiers will die in battle."

"Cao Cao is very shrewd." The corner of Yuan Xu's mouth curled into a sneer: "I tried to use the corpses of Cao Jun at the top of the city, but he threw all the dead soldiers out of the city, and didn't give me a chance at all. Living people, if you want to take it, you can only consume it with them."

"Although they are all murderous corpses, they are so worn out..." Yuan Tan frowned.

"The world has been in chaos for so many years, and so many people have died." Yuan Xu replied: "Many corpses are buried in the ground. We have no shortage of murderous corpses, but Cao Cao's soldiers and horses are one dead and one less."

He grinned at Yuan Tan: "Actually, I think it's refreshing to fight like this."

Yuan Tan was puzzled: "If you can't win Shouchun, Xianxin still feels refreshed?"

"Isn't it refreshing?" Yuan Xu asked: "The tide of corpses is like a sea, although many have been burned, but the scene of the former army's ten thousand horses taking the city can be seen at any time?"

Unable to understand Yuan Xu's thoughts at all, Yuan Tan blinked his eyes in a daze.

"My lord, how long will this fight be?" Looking at the army of murderous corpses attacking Shouchun, Zang Ba said: "It has been several days, Cao Ren and others have been captured, but the city has been unable to be taken down!"

"General Sun is recruiting Cao Ren and others?" Yuan Xu asked without answering.

"Exactly." Zang Ba replied: "It's just that the effect is very small. They are so devoted to Cao Cao that they may not be able to persuade them for a while."

"Come on, follow me to have a look." Yuan Xu greeted Yuan Tan and Zang Ba.

"Don't you need to stare here?" Yuan Tan asked.

"The vicious corpses keep attacking the city, what's the use of us staring at it?" Yuan Xu asked back.

Yuan Tan glanced at the wave of murderous corpses still attacking the city, and accompanied Yuan Xu to the place where Cao Ren and others were being held.
