?After meeting Guo Huai and Liao Hua, Gongsun Du first asked two secret envoys to secretly arrange for them to move into the mansion, and then immediately summoned his subordinates to gather together to discuss the matter.

According to Guo Huai's suggestions to him, Gongsun Du needs to seize the time to do three things.

First, strengthen prevention and control over the Liaodong region, especially the Xiangping area, and carefully search for spies from Jin who may lurk in to ensure stability within Liaodong.

The second is to immediately build a fortress in the northeast of Linyu, Liaoxi County, where the Qin Great Wall is located near the sea, cut off the road from western Liaoning to Liaodong, and withdraw the troops from Lingzhi and Haiyang lines into the fortress.

The third is to send envoys to Goguryeo in northeastern Liaodong and Karasuma in northwestern Liaodong to reach understanding and mutual trust with these two forces, avoiding direct attacks on each other and consuming strength.

Judging from the three ideas that Guo Huai had given to Gongsun Du when he came to Xiangping, this famous general of the Wei State in the history books was indeed very impressive. His strategies were almost tit-for-tat to the secret letter given to the direction of Wohu City by Zhao Hu. Without any awareness of Shadow's methods and Zhao Xing's ability, it is really not to be underestimated that Guo Huai was able to make such an accurate judgment.

The main ones who came to Gongsun Du's mansion to discuss the matter were Yang Yi, Liu Yi, Wang Lie and Gongsun Kang. The other two Gongsun Gong and Liu Yuan are now stationed in Xi'anping (now Dandong City) on the banks of Mazishui (Yalu River); Liupu leads his army to be stationed in Liaoxi County; Han Qi leads his army to be stationed in Xi'gaima (now Fushun City) northeast of Xuantu County, adjacent to Goguryeo, Guo Xin leads his army to be stationed in Gaoxian (now Tieling City) north of Xuantu County, and Li Min serves as the prefect in Lelang.

In order to avoid panic caused by his subordinates, Gongsun Du did not tell everyone about the situation of the special envoy sent by the court. He just used the excuse of a spy to repay that Zhao Xing was now using troops in Xiliang and asked everyone what they thought.

Staff Yang Yi then suggested that while Zhao Xing had no time to look east, he would take down a large area of ​​territory west of the Daliao River occupied by the Wuwan people. Once this land with lush water and grass was occupied, the Liaodong cavalry would have a steady stream of war horses to replenish in the future.

However, the adviser Liu Yi suggested that he could take the opportunity to expand into the northeast of Xuantu County, which would completely eliminate the Goguryeo, which had always threatened Liaodong, and relieve the danger from behind.

When Gongsun Du saw that none of his two strategists mentioned that Zhao Xing might attack the east, he was disappointed. Now he felt that Yang Yi and Liu Yi were not on the same level as Guo Huai and Liao Hua sent by Liu Bei. So Gongsun Du was more inclined to trust Guo Huai and Liao Hua in the future.

Wang Lie (Note 1), who was born as a scholar, was not very proficient in military and military use, so he just advised Gongsun Du to stop his troops, cultivate political affairs, and do more to appease the people. Gongsun Du always listened to Wang Lie's words while forgetting. The reason why he invited this old scholar to come was nothing more than to make his advisers feel that he respected his teachers and respected the Tao.

Gongsun Du's son Gongsun Kang was an ordinary person. The reason why he was qualified to come to participate in the discussion was mainly because Gongsun Du sent a signal to the people around him that the successor he chose was Gongsun Kang. Gongsun Kang had no opinions or suggestions, so he stood there in a proper manner without saying a word.

Gongsun Du was very dissatisfied with his subordinates, but he had no choice. Who made him a minor official from Xuantu and not the name of the three dukes of four generations? Who made him occupy Liaodong, a sparsely populated and remote and bitter cold exile?

Sometimes Gongsun Du often sighed, feeling that he did not have the good luck of Zhao Xing, and could recruit powerful generals such as Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Lu Bu, Taishici, and first-class advisers such as Jia Xu, Tian Feng, Guo Jia, and Chen Gong. Otherwise, he would not be as simple as separatist control of the country now.

If Zhao Xing knew about Gongsun Du's feelings, he would definitely want to kick them up: "Golden horns, silver-edged grass belly, such a big golden horn in Liaodong is occupied by you, you are not satisfied! I wonder how hard I worked to start from scratch back then, and I had to start by selling furniture and wine. Is it easy for me?"

Since his subordinates did not put forward better constructive opinions, Gongsun Du expressed his already thoughts one by one.

He ordered his adviser Yang Yi to carry wealth and gifts to the domestic city of Goguryeo's capital, and to make good friends with Goguryeo in exchange for trust and peace from the other party; ordered his adviser Liu Yi to carry wealth and gifts to Wuwan and reach a ceasefire agreement with the Wuwan clan, and both sides jointly deal with the aggressive Youzhou Jin army; ordered his eldest son Gongsun Gong to escort a batch of military supplies and money to Linyu, western Liaoning, and personally supervise the construction of the fortress and city walls of the garrison, completely blocking the transportation connection between western Liaoning and Liaodong.

Seeing that except for Wang Lie who had not received the task in the conference hall, the rest of the people had nothing to do, so they had to swallow the last and most important thing back. Relying on Wang Lie to help investigate the spies of Jin in Liaodong, Gongsun Du might as well do it himself.

When everyone retreated, Gongsun Du invited Guo Huai and Liao Hua and said hesitantly: "Now all the people under my command have been sent out, but there are still few smart and alert people as military advisors, and few smart and capable people searching for spies everywhere. I wonder if the two special envoys can condescend to help Liaodong Yishen?"

When Guo Huai heard Gongsun Du's words, he knew that he was because he had no one to use, and felt that he was inconvenient to speak directly. Then he turned around and asked himself and Liao Hua, and then replied: "Since the lord has appointed us to assist General Gongsun, we naturally hope that we can listen to General Gongsun with all our hearts and strengths. As long as General Gongsun trusts us, Huai is willing to be the vanguard of General Gongsun!"

Liao Hua continued: "I am willing to serve General Gongsun!"

Seeing that Guo Huai and Liao Hua were willing to work, Gongsun Du felt relieved and immediately asked someone to get military talismans that could mobilize a certain number of soldiers. He temporarily appointed Guo Hua as the general of military advisor and Liao Hua as the vanguard general, and entrusted the important task of investigating spies in Xiangping City to the two.

Guo Huai and Liao Hua were worried about the useless place after coming to Liaodong. As a result, because Gongsun Du lacked his own generals, he gained a foothold in Liaodong without any hesitation. Next, these two young people with strong "revolutionary fighting spirit" were ready to use practical actions to prove their abilities and abilities to Gongsun Du.

Note 1: According to historical records, Wang Lie, whose courtesy name is Yanfang, was from Pingyuan County (now Pingyuan, Shandong). He was born in the sixth year of Yonghe (141 AD) and died in the 24th year of Jian'an (219 AD). Wang Lie studied under Chen Zhi when he was young and was well-known. Dong Zhuo avoided the chaos of Liaodong during the rebellion and refused Cao Cao's employment many times. He died of illness in Liaodong at the age of 78.

When Wang Lie was young, he studied under Chen Zhi's disciple. Because of his noble character, he was praised in the village. A thief thief was caught by his master. The thief pleaded guilty to the ox owner and said, "I am willing to sentence and behead him, just ask not to let Wang Yanfang know about this." After Wang Lie heard about it, he sent someone to visit him and gave him half a piece of cloth. Someone asked why this was? Wang Lie said, "The thief thief is afraid that I know his fault, which means he has shame. Since he is ashamed, he will be able to correct his mistakes. I did this to encourage him to correct his mistakes."

Later, an old man threw a sword on the road. When a passerby saw it, he waited by the sword. Until the evening, the old man came back to look for the sword, got the lost sword, and asked his name in surprise, and told Wang Lie about it. Wang Lie sent someone to investigate who the sword guard was. It turned out to be the one who stole the cattle.

People in the village, who have any disputes and controversies, ask Wang Lie to resolve disputes and determine right and wrong. Due to the influence of Wang Lie's moral education, some people are willing to give up the disputes halfway through the journey. Some people who come back after reconciliation and return when they see Wang Lie's house, feel ashamed and give in to each other. It can be seen that Wang Lie's great virtue is far better than the power of punishment. ~ See the first release without advertisements, please come to "
