Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 347
As the five o'clock approached, Wu Gang reported: Gongsun Du and his three fathers and sons committed suicide when they learned that the city had fallen, and the confidant guards around them committed suicide and were buried.Wu Gang also secretly reported to Zhou Cang that after capturing the State Shepherd's Mansion, at Liu Qing's request, he also wiped out the Yang clan.

Liu Qing was clear about the whole process: Wu Gang dispatched two hundred soldiers from Pei Yuanshao, and ordered the soldiers to shout outside the mansion: The city is broken, Yang Yi surrenders, and the people in the mansion put down their weapons and open the door to surrender to save their lives.After shouting for half an hour, no one answered. Wu Gang ordered to throw torches into the mansion, but was shot back by the guards.Duan Muling found two catapults that Yang Yi painstakingly repaired from nowhere, threw the torches into the mansion as stones, and the state pastoral mansion ignited a fire.Not long after, Gongsun Yuan led about [-] guards to open the door and surrender, saying that Gongsun Du had committed suicide after seeing the general situation. The eldest son Gongsun Kang did not want to surrender and followed Gongsun Du.

Duanmuling wanted to surrender, but Wu Gang believed that nearly half of the guards committed suicide, which meant that these people were loyal to Gongsun Du, and the rest of them would only listen to Gongsun Yuan. It would be extremely dangerous to leave these people behind, so he ordered to shoot them all. Gongsun Yuan was not spared either.Then Wu Gang ordered people to enter the house to fight the fire, and all the men were shot and killed!

"My lord, in order to capture the State Shepherd's Mansion, my subordinates set fire to it. Although the fire was extinguished, it was in a mess. Please come to Yang Mansion temporarily," Wu Gang said.

On March 27, at dawn, Zhou Cangduan sat in the lobby of Yangyi Mansion.The Yang Mansion has been tidied up exceptionally clean, except for the smell of blood in the air, it doesn't make people think that there has been a fight here.

"My lord, my subordinates found the government treasury and the underground secret storehouse in the State Shepherd's Mansion. Gongsun Du has a large collection, with nearly 50 shi of grain and grass, countless gold, silver, jade, and furs." Wu Gang reported again.

"The gold and silver will be used as military resources after being sealed up. Our army is short of food, and the food and grass will be handed over to Pei Yuanshao for disposal." Zhou Cang took a closer look at Yang Mansion, "I think this place is good, and it will be changed to Pingzhou Governor's Mansion in the future. There is no need to renovate the Mu Mansion."

Zhou Cang is not a person who talks about ostentation. Liaodong's foundation is weak, and the province needs to be spared.

Pei Yuanshao came to report and collected more than 50 soldiers from the city. The armor and weapons found in the warehouse were not many, and there were [-] stones of grain and grass.

"Wu Gang, you and Chen Dao go to the screening. None of the confidantes of Gongsun Du and Yang Yi will be kept. The others will organize them for use, and then lead people to patrol the city to watch out for those who slip through the net."

"Pei Yuanshao, immediately issue a list to appease the people, and send people everywhere to warn the people that I, Zhoucang, is the lord of Liaodong, and everything in Xiangping remains the same. The corpses were pulled out of the city to be buried in several places."

Zhou Cang turned to Liu Qing, "Liu Qing, I know Liu Zhi is Liu Yi's younger brother, you and Guan Hai go to persuade him to surrender, if you don't surrender..." Zhou Cang looked at Guan Hai: "Guan Hai, you know what to do! "

Guan Hai was overjoyed and took Liu Yi out of the city.

"Sun Da, you should immediately send someone to write to Bocai, asking him to bring the luggage into the city. Let Cao Xing not have to come to Xiangping, but return to Donglai, and transfer Zhang Jiong, Zhou Ji, Zhou Xiang, Su Yang, Liu Li and others Come to Xiangping as soon as possible. Order Guangling to expedite the transport of immigrants and officials to the north, and land in Yingkou and Lushun in batches."

Zhou Cang didn't dare to transfer Cao Xing to Xiangping. After all, he shot and killed Liu Yi. After knowing the truth, how could the Liu family not hold grudges?It's better not to meet.

After assigning all the errands, Zhou Cang let out a long sigh of relief. After planning for more than a year, although the beginning was ups and downs, it finally opened the situation.What hurts the most is the loss of Dian Wei's right-hand man. As time goes by, will there be others following in Hua Xiong's and Dian Wei's footsteps?Birth, old age, sickness and death are inevitable, but it is really unbearable emotionally.

Drowsy for an unknown amount of time, Zhou Cang heard Sun Da say: "My lord woke up, General Guan Hai is back."

Zhou Cang opened his eyes and found that it was almost noon, and he fell asleep for more than an hour before he knew it. "Let him see you quickly."

I saw Guan Hai and Liu Qing brought a person up, their appearance was somewhat similar to Liu Yi's, but they looked much younger.Guan Hai saluted and said: "My lord, Liu Qing and I were ordered to persuade Liu Zhi to surrender, and Liu volunteered to surrender."

Liu Zhi knelt down on the ground: "Subordinate Liu Zhi pays homage to Mr. Zhou!"

Liu Zhi was not in a hurry to advance. The difficult road was the reason for this. On the other hand, he wanted to preserve his strength. He could not show his ability by entering Xiangping too early, but he did not expect Xiangping to fall so soon.When Liu Qing explained the reason to him and persuaded him to surrender, he chose to surrender without hesitation.Gongsundu is dead, he has nowhere to go, and his family is in Xiangping, so he can't ignore his wife, children and family. Although his brother Liu Yi died under Zhou Cang's men, Liu Qing said that it was mainly because Yang Yi lied about the military situation, and the two armies Zhou Cang was no wonder for the confrontation, and Zhou Cang respected Liu Yi very much.Yangyi is dead, the Yang family is destroyed, and the Liu family in Liaodong is left with a bright future.Liu Zhi also saw that Guan Hai was staring at him, and that he might attack at any time. Hearing Liu Qing say that Xu Qian died under Guan Hai's sword, Liu Zhi didn't have the heart to fight, so he immediately dropped his gun and armor to express his submission.

Zhou Cang pulled Liu Zhi up with both hands. "General, please hurry up. With the general's help, I will not worry about Liaodong." After speaking, he sighed again, "I really have no choice but to do something about your brother. When the two armies are fighting, swords and arrows without eyes will inevitably be damaged. Please, General Haihan , I will definitely treat General Liu Yi’s family well.”

Liu Zhi couldn't say anything more, so he cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, my lord."

"I just arrived in Liaodong, and I don't know much about Liaodong. Can the general explain a thing or two to me?"

Liu Zhi immediately ordered someone to find a map from Liu's mansion, which was still drawn by Liu Yi. "Please look, my lord. My lord said that Liaodong is actually Pingzhou. It was called Liaodong because there was only one county in Liaodong. Lang also has Xuantu. But only Liaodong, Lelang, and Xuantu are stationed. Gongsun Du is in Liaodong himself, the last general is in Xuantu, and his brother Gongsunyu is in Lelang."

"Why is this?"

Liu Zhi smiled wryly: "Eastern Liaodong is barren and the population is thin. It is really powerless to recruit 3 horses. Southern Liaoning faces the sea and has a navy, so there is no defense. And western Liaoning is unstoppable due to Wuhuan raids, so simply There is no defense, and the Wuhuan people look down on Liaoxi, so this place belongs to Pingzhou in name, but it is actually unmanaged."

"Wuhuan?" Zhou Cang said to himself.He always thought that Liaoxi bordered Youzhou, but he didn't expect that there was Wuhuan in between. Zhou Cang looked at the map carefully, and the more he looked at it, the more familiar it became.Although the scale of the map is wrong and the graphics are not very good, it does not prevent the mountains and the sea from being vaguely distinguished. There is a narrow passage between the mountains and the sea. Isn't this the Liaoxi Corridor?
