I am the son of Cao thief, start the awakening of the tyrant system

"Is Mr. Yanfang a little too exaggerated?"

As the elder brother, Gongsun Kang frowned and said with a sneer,

"Does Cao Mao have such a great ability?"

Wang Lie glanced at him and said softly,
"Young Master, haven't you heard that Cao Mao used the plague to wipe out Liucheng?"

"Of course I've heard of it, but it's just a rumor! How could Cao Mao have such a great ability! In my opinion, it just happened that the plague broke out in Liucheng, so he took advantage of it!"

When Wang Lie mentioned Cao Mao, Gongsun Kang smiled dismissively.

"My father attacked Goguryeo in the east, Wuhuan in the west, and the Liaodong Peninsula in the south. Why should we be afraid of Cao Mao?"

Gongsun Gong also sneered!
At this moment, Liang Mao, who had been silent all this time, suddenly smiled faintly,
"The prefect is indeed considered to have made great military achievements, but how does he compare with Yuan Shao?"

Gongsun Du was startled, then shook his head,

"I can't compare to Yuan Benchu."

He still has self-awareness.

The reason why I was able to dominate in Liaodong was entirely because of the chaos in the Central Plains, the long distance, and the imperial court had no time to take care of it.

"Even Yuan Benchu ​​was no match for Cao Mao, and the entire Yuan family was wiped out. How can the eunuch have the ability to resist Cao Mao?"

Liang Mao asked again.

Gongsun Du remained silent.

"My lord, the most sensible thing to do is to go and meet him immediately, as Cao Mao said in his letter, to have a chance of survival."

Wang Lie said slowly.

"But I bowed my head and surrendered to him... but I am really unwilling!"

Gongsundu sighed.

"It's just a stopgap measure."

Wang Lie persuaded,
"Cao Mao's hundreds of thousands of troops are watching. If the Lord doesn't go, he will be wiped out in an instant."

"We can bow our heads to him first, wait until he goes to war with Liu Biao and Sun Quan in the south, and wait for an opportunity to raise troops!"

Gongsundu was silent for a long time, then nodded and said,
"Forget it, just as Mr. said!"

He looked at his eldest son, Gongsun Kang, who was beside him.
"Tomorrow, I will set off to meet Cao Mao. After I leave, you will be in charge of all affairs in Liaodong!"

"If I can't come back, you will serve him as master!"

Everyone in the hall responded in unison,

"Here!"

Gongsun Kang's face showed uncontrollable joy.

On the other hand, Gongsun Gong had a look of resentment in his eyes!
……

The next day.

Regardless of his old age and frailty, Gongsun Du personally led a group of soldiers and set off for Liaoxi County.

After several days of journey, Gongsundu and his party finally arrived at Yangle, the county seat of western Liaoning.

After the report, he walked towards the barracks under the guidance of the soldiers.

However, what he saw and heard along the way made Gongsun Du tremble with fear.

The gleaming Mingguang armor, the murderous Tang Mo Dao, the crossbow cart exuding a breathtaking aura...

But what shocked Gongsundu even more was the astonishing generals of Cao Jun!
No wonder even Yuan Shao and the Wuhuan were no match for Cao Mao, his army was so terrifying!
Gongsun Du thought secretly, feeling a little lucky in his heart.

Fortunately, I took the initiative to come here today, otherwise, once the war started, how could Cao Mao fight with my tens of thousands of horses?

While he was thinking wildly, the soldiers had already brought them to Cao Mao's camp.

Gongsun Du took a deep breath and walked in slowly.

The young man sitting in the chief seat came into view.

He has a handsome appearance, a slender figure, and an extraordinary temperament.

But what attracts more attention is the powerful aura that emanates from him!

Only a person who has been in a high position for a long time and holds a heavy army can have such an aura!

Gongsun Du did not have the slightest doubt, and was convinced that the young man in front of him was Cao Mao!
He took a deep breath and saluted Cao Mao,
"Gongsun Du, the prefect of Liaodong... meet Mr. Su Lie!"

Cao Mao's dark eyes were fixed on Gongsun Du, but he didn't speak.

This put great pressure on Gongsundu.

Just when he was almost out of breath, Cao Mao slowly opened his mouth,

"I didn't expect you to actually come."

Gongsundu collected his mind, forced a smile and said,
"The subordinate is an official of the imperial court, and the young master has an imperial edict, so why should I not come?"

"You still know that you are an official of the court," Cao Mao sneered, "Then why haven't you sent someone to report to the court for the past ten years?"

"My lord, forgive me,"

Gongsun Du pretended to be helpless and said,
"It's because of the long distance, and the Wuhuan people cut off the road."

Cao Mao naturally did not believe his nonsense.

But today is not the time to argue with him.

So Cao Mao's expression softened a lot, and he said lightly,
"Since you have come to pay your respects sincerely today, then the past matters will not be pursued any more."

Hearing this, Gongsun Du breathed a sigh of relief, only to realize that his back was soaked.

"Because of your meritorious service in managing Liaodong County, I also have some rewards for you from my side. I specially promoted you as General Wuwei and granted you the title of Marquis of Yongning Township."

Cao Mao said.

"Thank you sir!"

Gongsun Du hurriedly saluted Cao Mao again, showing a grateful expression.

"Gongsun Du, I hope you are a smart person and can grasp this opportunity well, understand?"

Cao Mao is meaningful and authentic.

Gongsun Du's heart trembled, but on the surface he pretended to be calm and authentic,
"The subordinates will naturally understand!"

"That's good, let's go back after receiving the reward."

Cao Mao waved his hand.

"Subordinates retire!"

Seeing Gongsun Du's back disappearing outside the tent, Gan Ning at the side came out more and more, and couldn't help asking,

"My lord, why don't you keep him?"

Cao Mao glanced at him, smiled faintly,
"Why leave him?"

"He is the governor of Liaodong. If we keep him and take him as a hostage, wouldn't we be able to force Liaodong to surrender?"

Ma Chao was puzzled.

Cao Mao smiled but did not answer.

Seeing this, Pang Tong smiled slightly and explained,
"General Xingba, Gongsun Du is just an old man on the verge of death, so it's useless to keep him."

"Besides, since he dared to come to see the lord alone, he was ready."

Cao Mao nodded,

"That's right. The factory guard spies sent back information a few days ago that Liu Biao and Sun Quan in the south have made moves. The most urgent thing is to lead the troops back first."

Seeing Cao Mao speak, Gan Ning and others stopped talking.

After dealing with Gongsun Du's matter, Pang Tong suddenly stood up and said softly,
"My lord has made great military exploits in this campaign to the north, so this subordinate intends to write to the imperial court, asking Your Majesty to canonize the lord as king of Wei!"

"The subordinate agrees!"

"The subordinates also agree!"

Jia Xu and the others reacted instantly, and quickly echoed.

Even the dullest generals such as Gan Ning and Ma Chao nodded in agreement after being dazed for a moment!

In history, Cao Cao became the king of Wei after he conquered Zhang Lu.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he destroyed the Yuan family and subdued Wuhuan and Gongsundu, Pang Tong and others couldn't wait to make him the king of Wei.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that King Wei is just laying the groundwork for his future enthronement as emperor.

It seems that these subordinates of his are the ones who most look forward to becoming the emperor.

Cao Mao couldn't help but burst out laughing.
