Gongsun Xiu did not have a great understanding of the old history of Liaodong. He only knew that his great-grandfather was first promoted by Dong Zhuo to become the prefect of Liaodong, and then began to grow bigger step by step. Historical books called "Xiong Zhang Haidong". The people who can get the evaluation of these four words are not simple things.

At this time, when Gongsun Gong talked about his father Gongsun Du's past, Gongsun Yuan and his son, as juniors, couldn't help but prick up their ears and listen.

He coughed and said, "Your great-grandfather Gongsun Du started his career as a minor official in Xuantu County. When he first came to the county center, he looked down on him. He arrested the Xiangping County Magistrate and whipped to death. The wealthy families in the county, such as Tian Shao, found an excuse to kill him because they did not give him the great-grandfather's favor in their daily contacts. More than a hundred families were killed by this method, which made everyone in the county frightened and exerted their power from then on."

Gongsun Xiu was surprised when he heard this and thought to himself that there was no one in the Gongsun family who was vegetarian, butchers per capita and did not raise waste. But it was not complicated. The small officials were looked down upon. In the chaotic situation of that year, without a tough and iron-blooded skill, he could not cure the rich. He couldn't help asking: "The great-grandfather used this to cure it, and I think no one dared to offend it again."

“That’s natural.”

Gongsun Gong shook his head and said, "From Zhang Haidong, he intimidated all directions, Fuyu Kingdom took the initiative to become a vassal of Liaodong. Your great-grandfather even married the daughter of the Gongsun clan, Wei Qiutai, the king of Fuyu Kingdom, to form a marriage. In the war in the Central Plains, the world-renowned famous scholars and figures have all avoided disasters in Liaodong, and Taishi Ci is one of them."

Gongsun Xiu thought that this great-grandfather was a character. He did not appear in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and his life was quite good. He frowned and said, "The great-grandfather was just the prefect of Liaodong at that time, and was nominally a Han minister, but he was close to Fuyuguo. After careful consideration, he had the ambition to draw the king at that time."

Gongsun Gong nodded and said, "Yes, your great-grandfather established himself as the Marquis of Liaodong. He attacked Goguryeo in the east, attacked Wuhuan in the west, and took the Liaodong Peninsula to the south, and crossed the sea to take the Donglai counties in the north of the Jiaodong Peninsula, opened a school institution, and summoned refugees, greatly strengthening the rule of Liaodong. Although he was named Marquis, he actually used the emperor's throne, wore the emperor's crown, and arranged the Yulin Army. Even Cao Cao summoned your great-grandfather to be the general of Wuwei and was granted the title of Marquis of Yongning Township, and said to his ministers, 'My king, Liaodong, and he was Yongning', so he hid the seal and ribbon, and did not accept it."

"In the ninth year of Jian'an, your great-grandfather died of illness, and your grandfather Gongsun Kang succeeded to the throne of the Marquis of Liaodong. In the tenth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao pacified Yuan Tan and unified the north. He ordered the general Zhang Liao to recover the coastal area of ​​Qingzhou and fight with my former general Liu Yi in Liaodong. Liu Yi was not Zhang Liao's opponent. He was defeated by him and countless warships were burned. He had to take thousands of people across the sea to return to Liaodong on a warship. Liu Yi himself also ended up holding grudges that year."

Gongsun Xiu listened quietly and knew that the territory of Liaodong at that time was vaster than that of now. He directly crossed the Donglai counties that occupied the Jiaodong Peninsula. This move was extremely fierce. Unfortunately, it was a pity that Cao Cao took it back and now he lost this enclave.

Gongsun Gong said: "You are not married yet, so you can write to Fuyu Kingdom, choose the royal family and marry it, and then join forces with Fuyu Kingdom to seek hegemony."

Gongsun Xiu couldn't help but be surprised, "Grandpa, this is - letting the orphan marry the royal family of Fuyu Kingdom? This is a political marriage."

Gongsun Gong said lightly: "What's the fuss about this? Political marriages have been around since ancient times. If you marry the daughter of the royal family of Fuyu Kingdom, you will be much smoother to enter Goguryeo. Fuyu Kingdom is sandwiched between Goguryeo and Xianbei Kingdom. If you get help, you will naturally get twice the result with half the effort."

Gongsun Yuan laughed: "What's wrong with this? You married the daughter of the royal family of Fuyu Kingdom, and you didn't marry you."

"I understand."

Gongsun Xiu went to the palace to meet these two seniors in the family in order to discuss ways to strengthen Liaodong. Having said that, marriage is indeed a good way, and the atmosphere will be a little more harmonious between the two countries.

The next day, the envoy of Gongsun Xiu sent a letter, treasures, specialties and other items to Fuyu Kingdom to propose marriage.

Jia Fan asked suspiciously: "Your Majesty, are you going to marry a concubine?"

"Of course, I am young now, so I naturally want to marry a concubine." Gongsun Xiu said with a smile.

Jia Fanru let go of his weight and nodded, "That's right, the king should have a concubine. The king of a country needs to have a prince." After a pause, he said with some confusion: "Master, is this a marriage plan?"

"certainly."

Gongsun Xiu joked: "Can't it be possible that Gu suddenly became lustful and went thousands of miles to marry a Fuyu royal family that he had never met before?"

Jia Fan laughed and said, "The old minister dares not. The wise king of the king will naturally not be fascinated by women. Besides, if the king wants beautiful women in the world, he can be taken in Yan State, so why should he go to Fuyu?"

Since he became the prince, he was busy fighting with the Wei army, and then became the King of Yan, he thought about women's affairs without flaws. At this time, peace was at the moment, and Jia Fan caused an important topic: the crown prince.

He proved from facts that he had to bear the problem of mortgage loans and car loans in his daily life in his future life, and the problems of children going to school in the future, and the various complex and expensive expenses, which simply reduced his interest in childbirth.

Now, he is the King of Yan, with four counties in Liaodong, and nearly 400,000 soldiers and civilians under his command, and his interest in giving birth increased: "I heard that Cao Rui next door heard it, and thought he could not afford to be born alone? He gave birth to one hundred."

Having said that, the offspring born to Cao Rui died early, leaving only Cao Xun and Cao Fang, two little kids who were less than 18 years old, were like the Cao family in Tianjue.

According to "Wei Family Spring and Autumn" written by Sun Sheng, a historian of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Cao Fang may even be not Cao Rui's own son, while "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" says "hiding the deep palace secretly, unknown origin."

Deng Ai suddenly said, "Your Majesty, are you going to take Goguryeo?"

Gongsun Xiu smiled and said, "Shizai is really a wonderful person. He has not yet spoken out, so he already knows it."

Deng Ai hurriedly said, "I am not afraid to speculate on the king's heart, but... I just thought carefully that the king married Fuyu Kingdom, but could cut off the Xianbei support from the middle, and then destroyed Goguryeo, and then conquered the Xianbei. This is a strategy for the enemy to get along with each other in the distance."

Gongsun Xiu thought that Deng Ai was really a comprehensive talent. He could manage logistics and supplies, and could also come to the front line to plan and make plans. He praised: "Yes, from the map, Fuyu Kingdom is located between Goguryeo and Xianbei. If he can marry him, he will have more arms. He will stop the Xianbei first and can concentrate on dealing with Goguryeo."

Goguryeo is in the east of Liaodong, and set out from Xiangping to the enemy's base camp, Maru Capital, thousands of miles apart. It consumes a lot of military resources to transport grain, send troops, and expeditions. It is completely different from Sima Yi in Liaodong. Once the expedition is short of food, there is no choice but to retreat.
