At the foot of Xiaogu Mountain, there were more than 20,000 troops rushing to death, which shocked Sima Yi and changed his face: "Is it the Yan army? This is impossible. The main force of the Yan army should return to the army to rescue Xiangping at this time. How could it appear here?"

Hu Zun rode his horse down the mountain and led 3,000 troops to the foot of the mountain. Seeing that the 20,000 troops on the opposite side were actually the flags of the Eastern Wu. Zhuge Ke was the leader. He raised his sword and said angrily: "Shameless thief Cao! How dare he attack our troops and burn my warships. I will bury you all here today."

Zhuge Ke slashed down with a "huh" knife, like a magic power, and cut a Wei army in front of him in half, sprinkling blood on the spot. He raised his swords one after another, and the Wei army that was close to him either cut him in the waist or was stabbed under the horse.

Seeing that he was aggressive, Hu Zun said, "Wu Gou is so brave, come and get to die!" He also brought a knife to meet him.

The two of them fought each other for several rounds. Zhuge Ke was so shocked that his arms were sore, and he immediately jumped out of the horse and slashed the sword with a long sword, and his attack was even more fierce.

Hu Zun held the long sword on his head with both hands and took Zhuge Ke's attack. With a "bang", the mount under his crotch could not help foaming at the mouth by the huge force. Hu Zun was also shocked and blood was surging. He held the long sword tightly. Zhuge Ke's big sword hung above his head, and a cold light penetrated.

Zhuge Ke's arm strength was strong, but unexpectedly the opponent's arm strength was not weak. He fully thought that this sword could cut the opponent in half. He immediately pulled the horse back a few steps and exclaimed: "You are a bit capable of this splash general, so I'll sign up."

Hu Zun's sweat was as big as a bean on his forehead and he hummed, "I am Hu Zun, the vanguard of Wei. After hearing the name of Jun Ye, why don't you get out of here?"

Zhuge Ke said oh, and said angrily: "Who am I? You dog thief, you dare to attack our troops and burn my warships. Now Japan will not kill you on the horse, and it will not be able to eliminate my hatred."

When Hu Zun heard the eight words "sneak attack on my troops" and "burn my warship", he felt inexplicable and cursed: "Are you confused?"

Zhuge Ke's face was covered in dust and said angrily: "I'm confused? I'm sorry that you and other idiots have fled to Xiaogu Mountain to hide. I will kill you first today and then capture Sima Yi and return to Dongwu."

Hu Zun became more and more surprised. He had been sending troops to pursue Gongsun Xiu along the way, but he had not met the Eastern Wu army. How could he slander the Wei army for attacking his military camp and burning his warships? But he was unwilling to show weakness in front of the formation, but instead snorted: "If I burned it, what can you do?"

Zhuge Ke sneered: "Do you admit that you burned it?"

Hu Zun said: "It wasn't me who burned it. I mean, even if I burn it, you can't do anything to me."

"A bastard, let's just quibble! I won't kill you and show you the public."

Zhuge Ke was too lazy to talk nonsense to him, so he rushed up with a horse spear.

Hu Zun had to resist with all his might.

The troops on both sides were roughly equal, and the sound of killing was shocked by the sky for a moment, and the huge little mountain of beacons rose everywhere.

At this time, the Yan army scouts hid on the trunk of the tree at the southern end of Xiaogu Mountain, and saw the Wei army and the Wu army fighting each other, and were in a white-hot stage, and they were in a difficult situation to solve.

He quickly jumped out of the tree and blew the whistle. A white horse ran from the forest. The scout turned over and fled north.

When we arrived at a valley, we saw the five thousand cavalry of the Yan army nesting densely in the valley.

Gongsun Xiu took off his armor and red marks were pressed on his shoulders, grinning in pain: "Damn, this armor is too heavy."

Lun smiled and said, "Your Highness, you are not wearing a lining, so your shoulders are naturally worn."

He took off his heavy armor and revealed his strong tendon flesh, his muscles were clearly lined, stretched out and said with a smile: "I was so nervous that I had no time to change the armor in Xiaogu Mountain just now."

Lun said straight: "Will Sima Yi be fooled?"

Gongsun Xiu whispered: "Sima Yi is best at judging the situation. If he has too much food and few soldiers, he will choose to slowly fight attrition with the enemy. If he has too little food and many soldiers, he will choose to pursue and eliminate it desperately. This is the style of Sima's old thief. Sima Yi will pursue us without hesitation without hesitation."

Lun straightened his beard and sighed, "Along the way, we have discarded a lot of military supplies, such as food, armor, and war horses, but they have become tricks to confuse Sima Yi."

Gongsun Xiudao: "I can't bear to leave my child and can't trap the wolf. What a person Sima Yi is? If you don't show him weakness, you will not pursue him with all your might. Although you have lost a lot of supplies and supplies along the way, it may be worth seducing Wei and Wu to fight. If both sides fight to the death and both lose money, it would be even better."

The rough man next to him was covered with a beard, carrying a horse spear on his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Is this move the military tactic of my grandson? It is called...what is it called "eating less food or eating more food?"

This person is Gongsun Yan, the supervisor of the Yan army, and is also the uncle of Gongsun Xiu's clan. He is an important figure in the army.

Gongsun Xiu couldn't help laughing: "Uncle, it's not Sun Tzu's art of war, but Sun Bin's art of war. This plan is called 'increasing troops and reducing stoves'. Sun Bin entered Wei to attack the capital Daliang, and set up an ambush in Guiling, the only way for the Wei army to retreat south. In order to confuse Pang Juan of Wei, Sun Bin first ordered soldiers to build 100,000 stoves. Pang Juan tracked and found that there were 100,000 stoves. He calculated the number of Qi army's meals, but the next day was only 50,000, and the day after tomorrow only 30,000 stoves. Pang Juan was very happy, proving that the Qi army collapsed everywhere as soon as it entered Wei land, and the Qi army was less and less. So he boldly went deeper alone, but unexpectedly he was hit by Sun Bin's plan and was shot and killed by more than 10,000 Zhang Yan in Maling at Maling."

Gongsun Yan laughed loudly. He was very knowledgeable about words and military tactics. But when his nephew explained it very interestingly, he couldn't help laughing: "Yes, you said it well, haha. It's really awesome. Sima Yi and Zhuge Ke were led by you at the same time. Both sides led the army to attack each other. We advanced northward into Xiangping. When they reacted, it was too late."

Gongsun Xiu just smiled calmly: "Uncle, you are not optimistic now. We must leave quickly. Sima Yi and Zhuge Ke are both smart people. Once they come back to their senses, they will chase us wildly. Now there are only 5,000 troops, and the generals will stop you and me. I will definitely not be able to resist it."

Gongsun Yan and Lunzhi nodded at the same time.

He pretended to be unable to escape, and threw all the useless armor, food, and flags on the ground along the way, making him look like he was already running away with a dismal morale.

Seeing this scene, Sima Yi naturally thought that he was not far from capturing the enemy's leader, and led a large army to run around at night.

Gongsun Xiu simply abandoned all the armor of the Yan army, replaced it with the armor obtained by capturing the Wei army at the northern end of the Liao River, and raised the flags of Cao Wei, and marched swaggeringly.

He led his army to attack Zhuge Ke's naval warship stationed in Dagu Mountain, luring a large number of heavy cavalry from the Wu army to chase him. The Wu army's tactics were even more strange than the Wei army, and Zhuge Ke almost made dumplings for him.

Gongsun Xiu led his army to Xiaogu Mountain, filling the armor, clothes and flags of the Wei army into the pit, and then hiding into the closed valley and ordered the entire army not to make any sound.

The four horses of thousands of war horses were wrapped in linen cloth, and the horse's mouth was tied tightly with ropes and could not be called. Some of the noisy war horses were slashed with swords.

He knew very well that the army would not be able to control the heavy punishment and power. He would kill those who issued an order that would exceed the sound of cicadas.

At first, a soldier who spoke in a low voice was ordered to be dragged out and beheaded. Then the wounded man was injured and couldn't help but hum. The soldiers next to him tried their best to cover the wounded man's mouth and stuffed his mouth with cotton cloth to stop crying. If anyone disobeyed his advice, he would beheaded again.

More than 40 soldiers who violated the ban were killed one after another, and the entire army was silent. Thousands of people were lying in the valley, like a valley.

After hearing the scouts that Wei and Wu were fighting in Xiaogushan, and the battle was hard to resolve, he breathed a sigh of relief and thought happily: "Zhuge Ke is really sorry, but Yan and Wu are allied forces after all, and it is natural for friendly forces to share the burden with each other."

"Let's go, Liaokou and Liao Tunnel are already full of Wei and Wu troops, so they can fight by themselves."

Gongsun Xiu stood up high, patted the dust on his body, and frowned and said, "We will return to Xiangping and lift the siege of my father."

Lun turned over and followed him, looking at his generous back, he couldn't help but think: "The prince is kind to the government and loves the people, has elegance and power, and his prince's successor to the Yan State as soon as possible is the only way out for Liaodong."

When he thought of Gongsun Yuan’s short-sightedness and ingenuity, he not only broke up with the Goguryeo and Xianbei people around Liaodong, but also tried to please each other and interfered with each other.

This has attracted the intervention of the three forces and has invested 100,000 troops to conquer Liaodong. If the prince had not helped him with helping him wipe his butt, I would have been afraid that the 300,000 people in Liaodong would have suffered.

Lunzhi hesitated in his heart and said to Gongsun Xiudao: "Your Highness the Prince--"

He was stunned, turned his horse's head and said strangely: "If you have something to do with the army, you might as well say it clearly."

Lunzhi hesitated and sighed: "Eat the king's fortune and be loyal to the king. I dare not speak nonsense, but I really can't bear to see the fertile soil turning into scorched earth and the people becoming dry bones."

Gongsun Xiu thought to himself that you are a conscientious man, and nodded and said, "This is my heart that I have won over my words when joining the army. If it weren't for this, how could I run around and fight repeatedly with Wei and Wu?"

Lun was stunned: "Your Highness, what do you mean is that your troops are entirely out of public intention and selfless?"

He was silent a little and said seriously: "Since Liaodong is the State of Yan, the people of Liaodong are the people of our State of Yan. It is not the world that one person is to serve the world, but one person is to serve the world."

Lunzhi's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but nodded: "No, not bad. The prince can think so, all the 300,000 people in Liaodong can live and work in peace. But--"

"It's just that the King of Yan's actions have led to political chaos and besiege of all countries, right?"

Gongsun Xiu said with a smile.

Lunzhi smiled bitterly, "I really think so."

"Me too."

He shrugged: "In the past, there were the Yellow Turban disasters and the Dong Zhuo Rebellion. Not to mention the distant future, the war between Cao, Sun and Liu three kingdoms has been fought for nearly thirty-one years from the Battle of Red Cliff to today. My great-grandfather was the prefect of Liaodong and helped a large number of refugees who fled to the Central Plains to avoid disasters. He turned into a fertile land, and today is what we have today."

The Gongsun family started his family as Gongsun Xiu's great-grandfather, that is, Gongsun Du. He started his career as a minor official in the Han Dynasty and was promoted to Shangshulang and the governor of Jizhou. He was later removed from office. Later, Dong Zhuo led the powerful brigade of Xiliang to Luoyang and controlled the Shao Emperor to control the government. With the recommendation of his fellow villager Xu Rong, Gongsun Du was appointed as the prefect of Liaodong.

It was also the rebellion of the Central Plains that Dong Zhuo Wuxia took care of the Northeast, Gongsun Du established himself as the Marquis of Liaodong, attacked Goguryeo in the east, attacked Wuhuan in the west, seized the Liaodong Peninsula in the south, and crossed the sea to capture Donglai counties in the north of the Jiaodong Peninsula, expanding territory; he also recruited talents, set up schools, recruited refugees, and was powerful overseas, and regarded himself as the King of Liaodong, and historical books commented on him as "the dominant Haidong."

The Gongsun Duzhi was located in his son Gongsun Kang, who was the grandfather of Gongsun Xiu.

My grandfather was also a cruel person. At that time, Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao in the Battle of Guandu, and Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi of the Yuan clan were exiled to Liaodong. Gongsun Kang killed the two Yuan's heads and Cao Cao, and received generous praise from Cao Cao.

Then, Gongsun Kang died early. Because his son Gongsun Yuan was young, Gongsun Kang's younger brother Gongsun Gong took charge of Liaodong.

Gongsun Gong took charge of Liaodong in his uncle's name, but he envied the growing Gongsun Yuan, but he couldn't find the opportunity to take it back.

It was not until Gongsun Gong suffered from male diseases that he could only cut off his genitals and became a eunuch. He was weak and unable to control Liaodong. Gongsun Yuan took the opportunity to coerce Gongsun Gong to abdicate and then took charge of Liaodong.

As of now, Gongsun Gong was under house arrest by his nephew Gongsun Yuan for ten years and has not yet died in prison.

After taking charge of Liaodong, Gongsun Yuan was dissatisfied with anyone in the world. He first met Sun Quan and threw his wishes to recruit him in Wei State. Without saying a word, he killed the envoy of the Eastern Wu and offended the Eastern Wu thoroughly. He accepted the title of Lelang Gong, who was granted by Wei State, and then rebeled Wei State and proclaimed himself the King of Yan.

Lunzhi followed Gongsun Yuan in his early years, and until now he was disheartened, thinking that the King of Yan could no longer command Liaodong, and sighed: "If His Highness can succeed to the throne and be ordered in danger, he can save the people of Liaodong from water and fire."

As soon as he said this, he raised his head and saw His Royal Highness riding a horse walking in front of him as if nothing had happened, but his shoulders could not suppress their trembling.

Succession?
