Shu Han Confucian generals of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 37 The ambition is broken first without reward. If you are not a hero, don't be strong

"Big brother, come to the report. Tian Feng and Yan Rou have retreated to the right Beiping, but there is no soldier left in Liaoxi!" After occupying Yangle City, Gongsun Gong said to Gongsun Kang.

"Why did you retreat so fast?" Gongsun Kang touched his beard and muttered. Unlike his brother, Gongsun Gong has always been known for being eloquent, while Gongsun Kang is known for his bravery. From the appearance, although the two brothers are quite similar in appearance, it is obvious that Gongsun Kang's temperament is more tougher than Gongsun Gong, or Gongsun Gong is more elegant than Gongsun Kang.

"I have sent a detailed inquiry. I don't know what Tian Feng and others have in mind. It's better not to use soldiers easily before that." Gongsun Gong said in a low voice. Gongsun Kang also nodded. The current situation is not clear, and it is really not appropriate to act rashly. After occupying Liaoxi, the two began to hold on to the city for further news.

Just as the two were holding on to the city, Yan Rou gathered 50,000 elite soldiers and went straight to Liaodong County from Yuyang County. At this time, it is almost the middle of winter, and it has just snowed. The Central Plains often rarely move troops at this time. However, people in Liaodong have long been accustomed to the wind and snow. At present, the heavy snow is only a little difficult for them. It's okay to really want to move troops. After Yan Rou gathered the team, she did not say hello to Dong Xianbei, but directly killed Liaodong from his territory.

The Xianbei family is divided into three parts. Dong Xianbei lives in the north of Youzhou and the east of Changbai Mountain. In terms of strength, it is the weakest of the three parts of Xianbei. Over the years, he has not been bullied by Gongsun Kang and Yan Rou. He has long been a man with his tail between his legs. Now Yan Rou's 50,000 elite riders are coming fiercely. The various departments of Dong Xianbei only think that they want to have a hard time with themselves, and they are all in a mess. Fortunately, Yan Rou only crossed the border and did not conflict with herself. After waiting for them to pass, they were relieved.

After several urgent marches, Yan Rou finally led people across the territory of Xianbei and turned to Liaodong. General, there is a man and horse ahead, but he didn't play the flag, but he didn't know who it was. The scouts who had just been sent came back to report to Yan Rou.

"How many people are there?" Yan Rou asked in a low voice.

"Probably dozens of people!" The scout replied.

"Dozens of people? That should be the patrol in Liaodong. Pass the order, quickly divide the soldiers into two ways, and outcribe them up, and don't leave one!" Under Yan Rou's order, she was the first to rush to the front line and kill hundreds of people ahead.

"What did you say?" Gongsun Kang listened to the detailed report and suddenly jumped up and stared at the person, but his face was uncontrollable with excitement.

"It is said that Cao Qian came to invade, so Yuan Tan transferred a brigade to Jizhou to stop Cao Qian. At present, there are only 30,000 to 40,000 defenders left in Youzhou, and you can only stick to the six counties of Youzhou. Answered in detail.

"Is that so?" Gongsun Kang rubbed his hands and said excitedly. At this time, Gongsun Gong beside him muttered, "Brother, what should I do now?"

"What else can I do? Taking advantage of the lack of troops of the Yuan family here, we will first take down the right Beiping and Yuyang, wait for me to stand here, and then take Guangyang and Shanggu counties. Gongsun Kang said as a matter of course. When he spoke, he looked straight ahead, as if victory was in front of him.

"But our army's food and fodder are all supplied by Liaodong. If the front line is too long, in case the grain road is cut off by those Xianbei people or Wuhuan people, it will be a bad thing." Gongsun Gong was a little worried. These grassland peoples have no faith at all. Once they are cold and hungry in winter, they will go south to rob them, and their own logistical support will inevitably become the fat in their mouths.

"Well, this matter must be considered. In this way, the second brother, you sit in Yangle City to supervise the grain and fodder, and I will lead the army to capture the right Beiping first. Tell the bastards of Xianbei and Wuwan, who dares to touch my Gongsun Kang's grain and fodder, and say that I need him to repay it ten times!" Gongsun Kang is murderous.

"That's the only way. The eldest brother still needs to attack the right Beiping as soon as possible!" Gongsun Gong felt that there was always a trace of worry in his heart, but it was inconvenient to say it clearly. He had to lead the army to defend Yangle City for the time being to supervise the grain and fodder. Gongsun Kang led 50,000 troops into Youbeiping to further consolidate the foundation.

"Mr. Yuan Hao, it seems that Gongsun Kang has been tricked and has been in the right Beiping!" In Yuyang City, Yuan Xi held a military newspaper that had just been sent, and was excited to Tian Fengdao.

"There are more than 10,000 defenders in Right Beiping. Even if Gongsun Kang wants to capture it, it will take a lot of time. Before that, General Yan Rou was afraid that he had pacified the three counties of Liaodong. Tian Feng said with a smile.

As Tian Feng expected, after Yan Rou's 50,000 elite soldiers arrived in Liaodong, due to the empty defense of the three counties, the march along the way could only be described as invincible. After quickly taking Xuanduo, Yan Rou continued to divide his troops to raid the two counties of Liaodong and Lelang. Gongsun Du, who was left behind in Liaodong, was already terminally ill at this time. The garrison of Liaodong had no head. How could he resist such a tiger and wolf division? In the past, Wu Wan, who used to have a feud with Gongsun Kang, Xianbei, and Sanhan took advantage of the fire to rob at this time. However, in the last month, the three counties of Liaodong have already been branded with the Yuan family. Gongsun Du, who was seriously ill, heard the news and hung up without receiving it.

Gongsun Du died, but Yan Rou didn't care about this for the time being. Under his order, all the food and fodder transported to Gongsun Kang through Liaoxi were cut off. After doing this for more than ten days, Gongsun Gong, who was in Yangle City, first found that something was wrong and quickly notified Gongsun Kang, who was in Youbeiping. The latter attacked the right Beiping for nearly a month and was shocked to receive a letter from his brother.

"Second brother, do you mean that the food and fodder have been broken?" After rushing back to Yangle City, Gongsun Kang asked his brother in horror.

"Exactly, big brother, something must have happened in Liaodong." Gongsun Gong nodded and said. Both brothers have been speechless for a long time. You should know that Liaodong is their own foundation. Now You Beiping has not been captured yet. Once something happens in Liaodong, his brother will really have nowhere to go. This small Liaoxi County is not enough to be my foundation.

"Syect someone to Liaodong to inquire about the news, and at the same time stick to Yangle City." Gongsun Kang thought for a moment and hurriedly ordered. Gongsun Gong had always been the only brother Ma Shoushou, and quickly sent someone to inquire about the news.

After counting, a piece of news like a bolt from the blue was found out: Yan Rou led the army to take a detour to Xianbei and went straight into the three counties of Liaodong, which had captured most of the place. At this time, the Gongsun brothers were immediately anxious. After hastily discussing, they rose up and returned to Liaodong overnight.

"Sir, Gongsun Kang has withdrawn. Shall we pursue him?" After reading the latest military newspaper that day, Yuan Xi hurriedly told Tian Fengdao.

"Follow yourself, but let's try to push forward slowly. Gongsun Kang has no food and fodder, and the army will be confused sooner or later. Once the army is confused, it will be self-defeated. What we want to prevent is just that his dying blow made me too seriously injured. Tian Feng said slowly.

"What sir said is very true!" Yuan Xi nodded repeatedly when he heard the words. Tian Feng sighed and said, "Gongsun Kang is too impatient to see the benefits. This battle has been lost since he left Liaodong!"

As Tian Feng expected, the Gongsun Kang brothers led the army to retreat to Liaodong. When it comes to the border of the Liao River, which is the boundary between Liaodong and Liaoxi, the other side of the river is Yan Rou waiting for a long time. At the same time, Tian Feng and Yuan Xi led a large army to slowly advance from western Liaoning and recovered the lost land all the way. When it came to catch up with Gongsun Kang on the Liaoxi border, the latter was distressed about how to cross the Liao River. Of course, the arrival of Yuan Xi and Tian Feng made him more distressed.

"Yuan Xi, what a good man to take advantage of the fire!" Gongsun Kang looked at the two people in front of him who had vaguely surrounded him at the core, and suddenly became angry. Brother, what should we do at the present? Gongsun Gong asked with a trembling voice. Now the situation is very clear. Liaodong has been lost, and he is surrounded by two armies. The situation is extremely bad.

"Grepe me the order!" Gongsun Kang was about to order a fight to the death. At this time, Yan Rou's neatly arranged army on the opposite side suddenly felt a little chaotic. The soldiers in the middle gave way, and then a group of people were pushed forward by Yan Rou's subordinates.

"Mother?" The Gongsun Kang brothers soon found that their mother was the first, and then their sons, wives and siblings were also pushed forward one after another. Not only their relatives, but also the families of many soldiers were pushed forward. At this time, Gongsun Kang's people suddenly became restless. Gongsun Kang was very anxious and shouted, "Yan Rou, what's your ability? If you have the ability, let go of your hands and feet and fight with me. What is it to bully the old and weak women and children?

I ignored Gongsun Kang's shouting, Yan Rou said directly, "Listen to the troops opposite, your family is now restrained here. Gongsun Kang violates our boundaries, which has nothing to do with you and other pawns. If you can repent that you will not continue to be against us, you can go home and reunite with your family. Otherwise, the whole family will not be left!"

Yan Rou's voice was loud, but many people heard these words clearly across the river. Suddenly, Gongsun Kang's command began to become more and more unstable. In fact, there are only thousands of these old and weak women and children. Except for Gongsun Kang's relatives, who are real, most of the rest are pulled away by Yan Rou from nearby villages. But across the Liaohe River, how can Gongsun Kang's soldiers take care of so much in a hurry?

"Don't listen to his nonsense, shoot him to death!" Gongsun Kang shouted angrily. The soldiers pulled up the bow one by one, but refused to shoot arrows. Gongsun Kang was so anxious that he picked up his bow and shot an old woman opposite him to death.

"Mom!" Suddenly, a soldier of the Chinese army cried heartbreakingly. While crying, he also rushed into the river and swam to the opposite side. After swimming a few steps, he was shot in the back by an arrow from the people on the shore. The man was about to die for a while and was still struggling to swim to the opposite side. This time, Gongsun Kang's team was completely chaotic. Many soldiers threw down their weapons and cried and swam to the opposite side. Gongsun Kang stamped his feet in a hurry, but he was helpless. At the same time, Yuan Xi and Tian Feng behind them began to attack. The Gongsun Kang brothers could not organize an effective counterattack at all, and they were soon defeated. Gongsun Kang led thousands of remnants to flee to Fuyu, whereabouts are unknown. The Gongsun family, which once held great in Liaodong, was wiped out because Gongsun Kang rushed to send troops.

After Tian Feng settled Liaodong, he sent people to contact Sanhan, Wuwan and other parts, thus replacing all the status and interests of the Gongsun family here. When Tian Feng and others are busy with all this, it is less than ten days before the Spring Festival. Yuan Tan, Guo Tu and others who sent people to tell Ye City quickly were also overjoyed. After all, it's good to have an extra foundation.

In ancient times, it was inconvenient to convey the news. When the news of Liaodong's change of owners reached the Central Plains, it was already spring. Madam, be careful. Don't walk around if you have nothing to do!" In Han Shou's rebellious general's mansion, Zhao Feng said carefully to Zhen Jiang, who had been pregnant for five months.

"Don't worry, husband, I have my own sense!" It's funny that Zhen Jiang saw that her husband was so nervous. Zhao Feng, who has always been calm, was more nervous than her after she was pregnant. She couldn't help her when she walked.

"It's always right to be careful." Zhao Feng said with a dry smile. At this time, the servant came to report that Shi Guangyuan had something to discuss with him.
