Jia Fan said: "The old King of Yan has the kindness of knowing me, so of course he must do his best to assist me. Besides, Gongsun Gong became a eunuch due to illness, and was weak and could no longer manage the government. If he did not change people, he would be careless and restless, how could he govern the country?"

Gongsun Xiu sneered: "Old Jia believes that the current King of Old Yan is capable of governing Liaodong? Last year, the King of Old Yan believed in the flattering ministers and made himself king at all costs, which attracted the siege of Sima Yi's army. This matter is stupid and stupid. Liaodong is located in a remote place, with natural dangers as a screen. If there are no major miscalculations, the State of Wei will never raise troops to conquer Liao. He only needs to give enough Wei to be king with his face, build high walls, and accumulate grain. Why worry about the big thing not being accomplished?"

When Jia Fan heard these nine words, he was struck by lightning and murmured: "Realize the king... Building a high wall is so good. If the old Yan King was willing to listen to my advice, he would not have been betrayed by everyone."

Gongsun Xiu smiled and said, "Old Jia also thinks so, right? Then what you and my heroes see are the same."

Jia Fan smiled bitterly and said, "How could I have the talent of the King of Yan? But it is similar. If the King of Yan is not in a hurry to become independent, but is diligent in his work and loves the people, at least he will not destroy the country or lose his place."

He felt a stern in his heart, thinking that he had really read the wrong person. This old man was stubborn and stubborn with the stones in the pit, and he might have learned some skills. He immediately instructed him: "How can you do it according to your ideas?"

When talking about the strategy of governing the country and ensuring national security, Jia Fan became energetic, as if he was ten years younger, with his eyebrows raised and said seriously: "Liaodong is in a corner, and the key is to survive. The plan is to survive. If the country does not exist, there is no such thing as planning. Since the governance of the three generations of the Gongsun family, Zhang Haidong and control the strings of 100,000, of course, it has the basis for Liaodong to dominate."

He couldn't help but nodded and smiled, "Not bad."

Jia Fan said: "Submission to Cao is the best way out. Even if you do not surrender, you can show your kindness and receive the reward from Wei State. Even if you do not proclaim yourself as the King of Yan, the king of Wei State will personally add the title. The key is to show your kindness."

Gongsun Xiu frowned and said, "The surrender of Cao has no effect on the ministers in Liaodong, but it is a massacre for the Gongsun family."

This is the same as the important official in the Battle of Red Cliff thirty years ago when Cao Cao led a large army to hunt down the Eastern Wu. Zhang Zhao, the important official in the Eastern Wu who was the last words before Sun Ce before his death, "Ask Zhang Zhao if you don't decide on internal affairs, and Zhou Yu if you don't decide on external affairs."

At that time, Cao Cao not only used the emperor to command the princes, but also occupied most of Jingzhou, and also had arrogant naval warships, preparing to go south to destroy Wu. Sun Quan asked the ministers about his opinions, and most of the civil officials headed by Zhang Zhao suggested repairing the surrender and sending them to Cao Cao to show good deeds, so as not to cause trouble.

This can actually be seen, especially the ministers who are powerful and powerful in the gentry, who are even more willing to surrender to Cao.

For them, it is similar to being an employee in a listed company. It doesn’t matter who has acquired the company. They still work, but they just change their individuals to be the boss.

In contrast, Gongsun Yuan's dizziness and rushing to the point of becoming a king is equivalent to losing his way out. The end of surrendering to Wei is that the entire clan is destroyed, and those who come from prominent families among the ministers can avoid death, as long as they are loyal to the orders.

Lu Su told Sun Quan that the weak ministers surrendered to Cao at most to retire and return home. If you surrendered to Cao, you will be a marquis, only one carriage, only one horse, and only a few servants. How could you be called a king and a widow to be a king?

Jia Fan shook his head and said, "Of course we cannot surrender at this time, it is too late. If the old Yan King has not yet established himself, he can surrender to Cao in name, but in fact he will be independent. Cao Wei used the emperor to usurp the Han Dynasty and Victor Chan as his emperor, and cherished his reputation even more. If the old Yan King worshipped Cao Wei in his empty name, he would actually support Liaodong and be at peace with his life."

Gongsun Xiu couldn't help but sigh, "Old Jia has such a profound view, but it's a pity that the old Yan King did not listen to the good words of the golden jade, but it actually has the current situation."

Jia Fan's words were not empty talk. Cao Wei did pay attention to false status and not reality. Cao Pi missed the opportunity to unify the Three Kingdoms.

Before the Battle of Yiling, Guan Yu was so powerful that Cao Cao was shocked and prepared to move the capital to avoid his edge. However, Sun Quan took the opportunity to attack Guan Yu's rear, resulting in Guan Yu's defeat and being killed in Maicheng. The sneak attack on friendly forces led to the breakdown of the Sun-Liu alliance in the past. Liu Bei's first act of becoming emperor was to take revenge and lead a large army to conquer the Eastern Wu.

When Shu Kingdom was conquering Eastern Wu, at this stage, as long as Cao Pi sent troops to Eastern Wu, Wei and Shu could quickly eliminate Eastern Wu. Once the Eastern Wu was destroyed, Wei's only opponent was Shu Kingdom, and Shu Kingdom had no coalition forces to rescue him. Sooner or later, it would be a matter of destruction by Wei.

But at this critical moment, Sun Quan praised Cao Pi and was named King of Wu. From the perspective of the country, Eastern Wu was nominally his subordinate, so how could he join forces with the enemy to destroy subordinates? On the other hand, Sun Quan's subordinate to Cao Pi greatly increased the orthodox nature of Wei. After all, he was seized by usurping the throne and cherishing his status even more. The minister Liu Ye repeatedly advised Cao Pi to unite with Shu and destroy Eastern Wu, but Cao Pi was unwilling to choose to watch the wall and not send a soldier to help one of them.

This also led to deeper friction among the Three Kingdoms. If Cao Pi adopted Liu Ye's strategy, he would unify the Three Kingdoms at least fifty years ahead of schedule.

When Jia Fan heard Gongsun Xiu's praise, he felt relieved and thought to himself: "The Old King of Yan is stubborn and does not listen to hard advice. If this new King of Yan who had just succeeded to the throne, he would definitely be able to follow the advice, and Liaodong would not have fallen into such a hard battle."

Gongsun Xiucha said with a look of expression and said with a smile: "Old Jia doesn't have to give up on himself. It's not too late to take charge of Liaodong now, and there is still a glimmer of hope. When the orphans drive away the Wei and Wu countries, they can safely nourish the people's strength in Liaodong and wait for the time."

Jia Fan shook his head and said, "The King of Yan is good at military strategies, but may not be good at governing the country."

Gongsun Xiudao: "If Mr. Jia doesn't want to assist the orphans, how can he govern the country?"

He showed a look of hesitation on his face, and he was a little shaken. He raised his head, with expectation on his face, and asked: "How will King Yan treat the Old King Yan in the future?"

"Move to the palace to support the elderly and live a peaceful life."

Gongsun Xiu shook his head and smiled, saying, "I am not a narrow-minded person. The old King of Yan is at ease to support his old age, without wearing shackles, and without being imprisoned. If I am at ease to govern Liaodong, I can be at ease to be stable."

Jia Fan was surprised and said, "Are you serious?"

Gongsun Xiujing said, "Of course, what I want is the throne, not the life of my father. I can't do something like killing my father."

This shocked him at Gongsun Xiu's mind and demeanor. When the old King of Yan took advantage of Gongsun Gong's serious illness, he was directly imprisoned in prison by coercion. Although he did not kill him, he was extremely cruel.

Jia Fan stood up and bowed to the ground, and said in a deep voice: "The King of Yan has this mind and does not kill the Old King of Yan. This is why he is kind. I am willing to work hard for the King of Yan."

He reached out and helped him up, comforted him: "Old Jia kept his heart in his stomach. I had made up my mind to cut off all wars in Liaodong before the beginning of next spring and rest with the people."

Jia Fan sighed regretfully: "Fortunately, there is the King of Yan in Liaodong, which is a blessing for all the people."

Gongsun Xiu smiled. Gongsun Yuan is now losing power, and it is not harmful to the scattered people in Liaodong. He killed his father and destroyed human relations and lost the hope of the world. It is better not to ignore him. It is also a reassurance for the old ministers of Yan State. He smiled and said, "Old Jia, what good strategies do you have in the future? You can't hide your own private principles. You understand the principles of public people throughout the ages."

Jia Fan said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, the old minister will do his best to assist and devote himself to his entire life until his death."
