"The Yuan family has been prominent for generations, and has held the position of the Three Dukes for many years. Now Yuan Shu is even more powerful, and owns the entire territory of Yuzhou and several counties in Yangzhou. Imagine if we could join Yuan Shu's army and work together for the great cause, the future glory would be beyond our imagination."

Zhang Kai's words were like a magnet, pulling the hearts of the people word by word, weaving a beautiful dream of being a marquis and a general for them.

His confidants were not willing to lag behind, and hurriedly added fuel to the fire.

"You are right. Tao Qian is old and unable to do his job. It is difficult to see the dawn of his future. In comparison, following Yuan Shu is undoubtedly a wise choice, which is a hundred times better than wasting time under Tao Qian's declining power."

"That's right! If we follow Tao Qian, I'm afraid that the brothers can only waste their will in this endless waiting, and will never achieve anything. Instead of waiting for death, why not take the initiative to find a true wise leader to serve, and be appointed as a general and a marquis in the future. "

"Captain, what you said is very reasonable, we will definitely follow you to the death!"

"Good!" Zhang Kai's chest was filled with an indescribable heroic spirit, and his voice was like a bell.

"Brothers, from now on, as long as you follow my footsteps, I will never let you go hungry as long as I have a bite to eat!" His eyes were firm, and his tone was full of unquestionable power.

"Now, everyone quickly pack up your belongings and follow me to the land of Yuzhou!"

In Xuzhou City, Tao Qian was lying on the bed leisurely, calculating the days in his heart.

"In three days, Cao Song will be able to leave Xuzhou safely, and I have sent elite soldiers to escort him all the way. Cao Mengde will be grateful to me when he learns about this. "Tao Qian's mouth curled up with a smug smile, as if everything was under control.

However, he never expected that his negligence in disciplining his subordinates would bring an unprecedented storm to the entire Xuzhou, like a dark cloud pressing down on the top of the head, about to sweep across this land.

...

A few days later, the land of Liaodong was in turmoil again.

At this time, a scout stepped into Gongsun Du's tent in a dusty manner, holding a crucial piece of information in his hand. Gongsun Du opened it and looked solemn instantly-Liu Yao had sent Zhang Liao with tens of thousands of elite troops to Liaoyang. Upon hearing this news, Gongsun Du admired Wang Lie's wisdom even more.

However, when Wang Lie heard the news, there was no joy on his face, but his brows were furrowed, as if a heavy burden was weighing on his heart.

"Sir, why are you still worried? Liu Yao's march to Liaoyang is not what you expected? "Gongsun Du asked in confusion.

Wang Lie shook his head gently, his eyes deep.

"If I were in Liu Yao's position, I would definitely try my best to conceal my whereabouts when sending troops to Liaoyang, or stir up trouble elsewhere to distract our attention."

"Now, all this seems too straightforward, which makes me suspicious."

Gongsun Kang frowned when he heard this.

"Straightforward? Liu Yao has many brave generals under his command, and there are many wise men. Xi Zhicai and Guo Fengxiao are needless to say. The recent joining of the uncle and nephew of the Xun family has added wings to the tiger. "

"I have heard of the names of Xun Yu and Xun You, and their talents are all above mine."

"The power under Liu Yao's command cannot be underestimated..."

"The counselors gathered under this kid are all deep-minded and unpredictable. I can't help but worry a lot, for fear that they are hiding some cunning means in secret. "

Gongsun Du heard this

"Niu E" waved his hand.

"Hey! Sir, you are too worried." Gongsun Du waved his hand gently, with a bit of comfort in his tone, "As long as we firmly hold Liaoyang, form a horn with the other city, and rely on each other, we will have a solid foundation for future counterattacks."

"Maybe... I have been thinking too much during this period." Wang Lie rubbed his temples gently, revealing a trace of fatigue between his eyebrows, "Master Gongsun is right, I may have really thought too much."

"Sir, you should take a rest first, and get enough energy to deal with the various changes that will follow. "Gongsun Du's words were gentle and firm, with unquestionable power.

Wang Lie nodded slightly, thinking to himself that perhaps he was really a little breathless due to the heavy thoughts in recent days, and it was time to adjust his mentality.

Gongsun Du's eyes followed Wang Lie's back as he walked away, and with a calm and profound tone, he instructed Gongsun Kang beside him:

"Kang'er, this time you need to accompany Captain Wang in person, lead 10,000 elite soldiers, and go to Liaoyang City together."

"Zhang Liao is one of the famous Eight Tiger Riders in Bingzhou. He is extremely brave and has superb martial arts. You must remember that you must not rashly go out of the city to fight. Our army does not have an advantage in manpower, and it is the best strategy to defend the city. "

"Just hold on for a few months, and wait forWhen winter comes and the cold weather hits, it is time for us to turn defense into offense and fight back. "

Gongsun Kang heard this, his face was firm, and his tone was full of unquestionable courage: "Father, rest assured, I will act cautiously and live up to my mission."

After that, he turned around without hesitation, walked away with firm steps, and his back revealed a kind of determination and courage.

Gongsun Du's eyes slowly swept over everyone present, and his tone was full of unquestionable majesty:

"Everyone listen to my order, take action immediately, and send orders to all counties and prefectures, so that those aristocratic families who are entrenched in one side can mobilize their carefully trained private soldiers to protect our Pingxiang City. "

"Tell them that when we lead our troops to fight back against Liu Yao, this prefect will never be stingy, and will definitely reward them according to their merits, and give them more vast land and abundant population as rewards! "

"Yes! "

With Gongsun Du's order, the war wheel on the ancient land of Liaodong started with a roar, and every tooth and every wheel were tightly engaged, ready to go.

In just a few days, in the mansions of the major families, those private soldiers and guards who usually hide themselves in the dark, like awakened beasts, rushed to Xiangping City, gathering into a force that cannot be underestimated.

These aristocratic families who occupied one side almost wholeheartedly supported Gongsun Du's move.

The reason is Liu Yao's actions in Liaoxi County. It was really outrageous that he actually launched an inhumane massacre against the noble families.

The noble family children in Liaodong were all terrified, fearing that once Liu Yao's iron hoof stepped into Liaodong, the comfortable nest they had built with great difficulty would instantly disappear, and the family's century-old foundation would also be destroyed. Such a catastrophe was something they could not accept calmly no matter what.

So, they all turned to Gongsun Du's side, hoping to keep their family's wealth and glory in this chaotic world and continue to act as the lofty local emperor.
