Since the King of Dongchuan received the order from Sima Yi, he claimed that he would send troops to surround Xiangping and capture Gongsun Yuan's head, and he could get rewards and titles from the Emperor of Wei. So he gathered 20,000 troops at all costs and rushed to Xiangping. In the middle, Mo Huba, the Xianbei tribe, also joined the group battle. The two of them joined 30,000 troops and tried to forcibly break Xiangping.

At this time, Xiangping said it was an empty city. Only a few hundred soldiers guarded it, like a candle in the wind. It only blew a little lightly and collapsed in an instant.

The King of Dongchuan had been waiting proudly to capture Gongsun Yuan and behead him. In the future, there would be no power of the Gongsun clan in Liaodong. Goguryeo's pace of eroding Liaodong could gradually take shape. By then, the Gongsun clan that will dominate Haidong will no longer be the Gongsun clan, but the Kingdom of Goguryeo.

Unfortunately, the siege of the city was quickly supported by 20,000 Yan troops led by Yang Zuo and Bei Yan. The King of Dongchuan personally led 20,000 troops to block the Yan army in Shouyang Mountain. The two sides started a large-scale war. The Goguryeo troops had no combat power. After only half a month of fighting, they were either annihilated, injured, or surrendered by Yang Zuo. They were instantly seriously injured and their subordinates fled in scattered.

The King of Dongchuan did not expect that the Yan army was so majestic, and he easily attacked him. After he fled, he found that the Yan army did not chase after him. He had been stationed in Shouyang Mountain and did not rescue Xiangping, so he watched from the wall.

"What else can the Yan army do to make a wishful thinking?" King Dongchuan was a little at a loss.

The tall Xianbei Mo Hubaduo was careful and frowned and said, "Perhaps, the Yan army's general Yang Zuo and the vanguard Bei Yan are waiting for us to kill Gongsun Yuan. This is a trick to kill people with a knife."

Dongchuan King was stunned: "Borrowing a knife to kill someone?"

Mo Hu said, "Yes, Gongsun Yuan is the King of Yan of Yan. How could he not save his subordinates? Gongsun Yuan's eldest son led tens of thousands of infantry and cavalry outside, defeated Sima Yi of Wei, and even surrounded him and cut off food and grass. Sima Yi asked you and I to send troops to respond, which was to lure the main force of the Yan army back to Xiangping, so that he would have the chance to escape."

The King of Dongchuan nodded in admiration and said, "You are right. Will the king and you become the sword in Sima Yi's hand?"

Mo Huba said gloomyly: "Not only that, Gongsun Xiu also regarded us as the sword in his hand. Think carefully, if Gongsun Yuan dies, who will have the greatest benefits?"

"As soon as Gongsun Yuan died, his son Gongsun Xiu could naturally inherit the throne of the King of Yan in Liaodong."

The King of Dongchuan showed a look of surprise on his face.

Mo Huba nodded in praise, and his face looked arrogant: "Yes, I assume that Gongsun Xiu was thinking like this. Otherwise, Xiangping would only be 200 miles from Shouyang Mountain, why did Yang Zuo garrison fail to advance? This is obvious. He was waiting for Xiangping to be defeated by you and me, and Gongsun Yuan was killed by us. In this way, he would not have to bear the charge of killing his father and usurping the throne. We also used the knife in his hand for him."

The King of Dongchuan applauded and praised him for his goodness, saying, "The minds of the Han people are really complex and changeable, and they are hard to guess. If this is the case, as long as we do not take the initiative to lead the army to provoke the Yan army, he will not provoke us, but watch us solve Gongsun Yuan step by step?"

“That’s right.”

Mo Huba smiled and said, "The cunning of the Han people is not something that ordinary people can imagine. Their conspiracy and tricks are engraved into simplified pieces, and even five cars may not be able to pull them. The Han people created an idiom, "What is "five cars to learn"? The more they learn, the more they harm others, the more they are. They often speak more than they do when they speak benevolence and righteousness."

The Central Plains culture he learned from pieced together actually mentioned a general category.

When the King of Dongchuan laughed, he heard this, "You said it very well. Since that's the case, we can attack the city without any scruples until the city is broken?"

Mo Huba sneered: "Of course, we are willing to do such a knife. Gongsun Yuan was destroyed. Whether it was us, Sima Yi and Gongsun Xiu, basically all three parties benefited, and one party died."

When it comes to the word "death", the two laughed loudly.

The King of Dongchuan led his troops to attack fiercely. Looking at Gongsun Yuan on the city from afar, he was very proud of leaving the city to fight to the death. He couldn't help but be overjoyed: "If he gets out of this city, he will surround him so as not to suffer a lot of effort to attack the city."

At this moment, the Goguryeo army in the southeast rushed back with no life. It was Gao Song, the leader of the Guannu tribe. He was strong in size, strong back, and carried two big iron hammers in his hand, just like the Demon King of the Mianshi. At this moment, his face was full of horror: "Your Majesty, it's not good, Gongsun Xiu, Yang Zuo, and Bei Yan of the Yan army led his army from Shouyang Mountain."

The King of Dongchuan's face changed color: "What are they doing?" His eyes couldn't help but look at Mo Huba, thinking that you bastard didn't say that Gongsun Xiu could not send troops to support Xiangping?

Mo Huba pondered for a moment, looked at the leader of Guannu's army and asked, "What is the name of the Yan army's flag?"

Gao Song was stunned and scratched his head: "It's the banner of King Yan."

"broken."

Mo Huba's face changed color when he heard this: "Gongsun Yuan must be greedy for life and fear of death. He hurriedly issued an edict to Gongsun Xiu. Now he has become the new King of Yan."

Wang Da from Dongchuan was puzzled: "Aren't he waiting for Gongsun Yuan to die?"

Mo Huba said with a serious expression: "Since Gongsun Xiu has obtained the orthodox position and has become the veritable King of Yan, he does not need to wait for Gongsun Yuan to die before he can become the King of Yan."

The King of Dongchuan was confused when he heard the tribe battle, which was about strength. The Guilou tribe where he was once a weak man, had no chance to be king. The Junnu tribe was the king, and later he led his troops to defeat the Junnu tribe, and thus he was able to become the King of Dongchuan.

He sneered: "The Han people believe in this, but I don't believe it. Since Gongsun Xiu insisted on stopping it? Humph." His eyes turned to Gao Song beside him: "Immediately lead the Guannu tribe to fight Gongsun Xiu and set up defenses in the valley. Only win, not lose. If you lose, don't come back to see me."

Gao Song received the order and immediately led 5,000 troops to the Yan army.

Gongsun Xiu was riding in a carriage, with the military officer standing by, and the veteran Jia Fan. Jia Fan was inexplicably arrested and imprisoned. When he came out, he heard that His Highness had usurped the throne and became the King of Yan. He couldn't help but feel a little angry and muttered: "It's a ritual for a minister."

"Old Jia, don't worry, sooner or later, Gu will let you know what the etiquette of a minister is and what the time of conformity to the heavens."

He was not angry, and said seriously: "Liaodong is a virtuous lord who can only take it. People who are not allowed to starve to death. Those who are farmed have their own fields and those who live have their own houses. These are all the virtues of the best. If Gongsun Yuan is the King of Yan for a few years, hundreds of thousands of people in Liaodong will become bones. You old man will use this tone to persuade you, and eight heads will not be enough for him to kill him. Of course, killing one person is small, and Gongsun Yuan will not be able to control the safety of the huge Liaodong. The safety of the 300,000 people will be borne by the only one in the future."

Jia Fan was silent for a while and said, "If you become the King of Yan, can you be better?"

“What’s the difficulty?”

Gongsun Xiu sneered: "Although Liaodong is large, there are 100,000 troops coming from Wei, Wu, Goguryeo, and Xianbei. The purpose is to slaughter Liaodong. The old Yan king has no faith, no righteousness, and is hated by the world. Even a person like him cannot be compared, so there is no need to be the lord of Liaodong."

When Jia Fan heard his tone, he asked: "With the view of the new king, how can he implement benevolent government so that Liaodong can be safe and sound?"

Gongsun Xiu shook his head and said, "You must not make Liaodong safe and sound, it is difficult."

Jia Fan sarcastically said mercilessly: "Your Highness, then you are just talking nonsense."

Gongsun Xiu thought that this old man was really determined to die, but he was not angry, but he was more happy. He smiled and said, "Of course he was a polite person. A knowledgeable man like Jia did not go to office, but he was willing to be loyal to the old King Yan and lost his life in vain. Gu Kong had the ambition to save the people, and there was no capable minister around him. How do you say Gu govern Liaodong?"

Jia Fan's face changed slightly and he was stunned for a long time: "I have said such things, but you still refuse to do it?"

"Don't be stupid. I won't kill you. Isn't it good to keep this useful body? Isn't it good to think about the people of Liaodong? Killing one person is simple, and killing ten thousand people is not difficult. What's difficult is to kill a loyal old minister, but I can't do it."

Gongsun Xiu smiled at the sky.

Jia Fan was puzzled again and hesitated: "Criminal... No, King Yan, how are you going to deal with the Old King Yan?"

I was used to calling the prince forever, but suddenly changed my words to the King of Yan a little uncomfortable.

Gongsun Xiudao: "Do you think I will kill him, right?"

Jia Fan hesitated for a while and didn't say anything.
