Chapter 32 Xiangping Showdown (4)

The Yan army was full of excitement and its morale reached an unprecedented level. Driven by the generals, eight teams of men launched a fierce attack towards Mo Huba and the King of Dongchuan.

Mo Huba's face was pale, "I can't resist it anymore. My eight thousand elite cavalry have all been broken. Let's run for my life."

The King of Dongchuan smiled bitterly and sighed: "I only feel that it seems to be in a dream now."

Eight teams of Yan army almost surrounded the two corners of the southeast. The only way for Dongchuan King to retreat was to flee northwest, and immediately led the remaining defeated generals to escape northwest.

The eight teams of Yan troops quickly caught up and covered and killed them from behind.

Gongsun Yuan in Xiangping City saw the blitzkrieg in this blitzkrieg. He was so shocked that his face was pale, his right hand stood on the wall, and his mouth kept twitching: "Is this - is this my son?"

Thinking of so many days of distress, King Dongchuan and Mo Huba finally escaped like a stray dog. Gongsun Yuan stretched out his palm and slapped heavily on the female wall. He spoke loudly at the hundreds of personal soldiers and warriors on the top of the city: "The Hulu escapes to the northwest, and we will chase you."

The gate of Xiangping City opened, and hundreds of personal soldiers and warriors came out. Gongsun Xiu's carriage was riding his horse. He pushed open the door of the carriage and looked at Gongsun Yuan who had not seen for many days, and smiled and said, "Father, get in the car quickly, let's go to the car, our father and son will personally fight against the captives today."

After the two met, the atmosphere was so awkward.

Gongsun Yuan wanted to put on his father's airs, but the actual situation told him that his son in front of him had replaced him as the new King of Yan, the real Lord of Liaodong. He smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, let's... catch up with him together."

The two sat in the carriage, and the atmosphere was extremely awkward.

Gongsun Xiu thought it was no big deal. Now the three armies all followed his orders, but Gongsun Yuan has now become a "lonely man" in the true sense.

He chuckled, "Father has suffered so much these days."

Gongsun Yuan smiled awkwardly: "Fortunately, the daily life is pretty good, and eating and drinking is normal. It's just a worrying day - finally... it's finally over."

Gongsun Xiu saw his concern and said with a smile: "Father, don't worry, in the future, Liaodong will be cleared, and you can rest assured in the palace to support your old age without worry. There will be no worries."

Gongsun Yuan's cheek twitched. He knew very well that "old-age care" was fake and imprisonment was real. However, imprisonment in the palace was better than being in a dark cell. He breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Is the royal family in the army still alive?"

After hearing this, Gongsun Xiu frowned and thought that no matter how cruel and ruthless I was, I would not have done a big purge. He shook his head: "What are my father's words? All the clan members are alive and not dead. They just violated military laws recently and were locked up. They will be released in a month."

He sighed again when he heard this and said tragically: "That's good...that's good. The Gongsun family in Liaodong has been through three generations. The foundation of the ancestors cannot be destroyed, and the lives of the clans must be cherished."

Gongsun Xiu thought that this willful father could say such words. It seemed that during the days when he was besieged, his thoughts had improved a lot. He just smiled faintly. Liaodong is currently in dire straits and offended almost all the forces that can offend, and they waved their hands: "Father, you will know until the night."

Gongsun Yuan was stunned: "What's the matter?"

He calculated the speed of the march, and could drive the King of Dongchuan and Mo Huba to the Prince River at night, and smiled and said, "I will hunt in the Prince River tonight."

Gongsun Yuan was excited when he heard this.

The Yan army concealed the killing from behind and was almost unresisted. The reason was that the deserters had no courage to resist and were determined to escape.

Every time Guli soldier was arrested, he became surrendered.

Yang Zuo and Bei Yan were almost as fast as possible, and they held up their swords and chased the enemy, just like driving cattle and sheep.

At night, the three armies approached the Prince River.

Gongsun Xiu looked into the distance and saw that King Dongchuan and Mo Huba had already crossed the other side in more than ten small boats. Under the faint moonlight, King Dongchuan set fire to the ship and led hundreds of followers to flee far away.

He was immediately stunned: "Why don't you leave a decisive battle? Just run away like that?"

Yang Zuo was also confused. There was no boat to ride at this moment. How could he chase and capture the two of them? He was so angry that he slapped his thigh, "Your Majesty, it's not good, you may not be able to catch up now."

"never mind."

Gongsun Xiu shrugged and looked at the five Goguryeo soldiers blocked along the Prince River, with a happy expression on his face: "These surrendered soldiers are incorporated to make up for the losses of the war."

The total number of surrendered soldiers before and after was 10,000, and the number of people who were carrying the supplies and logistics of Dongchuan King was more than 20,000, and the population obtained reached 30,000, which would be of great benefit to the future farming and fighting taxes in Liaodong.

Yang Zuo smiled happily and said, "Master, how can you deal with King Dongchuan and Mo Huba?"

Gongsun Xiu sneered on his face: "If you can run away, you can't run away. When the government affairs of Liaodong are managed, the army will be set off to destroy Goguryeo and Xianbei."

The new king succeeded to the throne, and Yan State was still unstable. Sima Yi and Zhuge Jin had not left Liaodong yet, so they could not be distracted. Goguryeo and Xianbei were defeated, and the people's strength and national strength were basically about to collapse. There would be no idea of ​​attacking Liaodong in the short term.

Yang Zuo immediately cleaned up the battlefield and incorporated the surrendered soldiers besieged beside the Prince River. He seized all the weapons, put on shackles, and took them away.

Gongsun Yuan looked at the scene in front of him and felt as if he was in a dream. He smiled bitterly: "Liaodong is really in your hands and is in danger, alas."

Gongsun Xiu turned his head and said seriously: "I actually understand that in your heart, being king is the most important thing. In order to be king, he will kill his brother Gongsun Huang who is a hostage far away in Luoyang. Sima Yi came to attack Liaodong. If you can't win Sima Yi, you will plan to hand over the child to Sima Yi and take him back to Luoyang as a hostage, right?"

All along, Gongsun Yuan had only thought about himself. He was told through his thoughts, and he couldn't help but blush and said ashamed: "I did think so. It was this kind of thought that he was confused by his subordinates and made himself king in a confused manner, which led to the determination of Emperor Wei to exterminate Liaodong."

"If you think so, let alone killing your uncle Gongsun Huang and killing me, you and the entire Gongsun clan will not be spared."

Gongsun Xiu shook his head and said lightly: "Sima Yi is cruel and ruthless, and will not give us the entire clan a chance to survive. If I had not ordered the soldiers to fight hard and barely defeat Sima Yi, Liaodong would now become a hell on earth. Perhaps in your eyes, I am just a pawn. I hope that Wei will implement an appeasement policy for Liaodong and put the life of his own son in the hands of the enemy."

Gongsun Yuan was ashamed and sighed: "You must hate me very much, right? My father has been selfish all his life and deserves to die."

Seeing Gongsun Yuan's decadent appearance, he felt quite unbearable. He pointed at the Prince River and pondered: "I don't hate you, but I can't say I like it. Today you can exchange my life for peace, and tomorrow will be fine. At the end of the Warring States Period, Prince Dan sent Jing Ke to assassinate the King of Qin but failed. Yan State was attacked by the Qin army and fled to Liaodong. Prince Dan once hid here, so Yanshui has the alias of "Prince River". Does my father still know?"

Gongsun Yuan sighed: "Of course I know that there is no difference between me and the stupid King of Yan Xi. King of Yan cut off his son's head and presented it to the Qin army. I want to send my son to Wei as a hostage. They are all the best idiots in the world and there is no cure to save them."

Gongsun Xiu didn't want to discuss this issue anymore. He had usurped the throne of King Yan, and he would spend the rest of his life in the deep palace until his death, and there would be very few opportunities for the father and son to meet.

He raised his head and suddenly saw a flash of red light in the long Milky Way in the sky, as if a meteor was passing by. Then he saw the red light getting bigger and bigger, from the size of sesame seeds and mung beans to the size of fingernails, and finally became the same size as a wheel.
