The Three Kingdoms become stronger when they get treasures

Chapter 489 The Change of Liaodong
In fact, Zhang Wu had already made arrangements.

As early as when Cao Pi inherited the throne of King Wei, Zhang Wu once launched four armies to attack Cao Pi, one of which was Feng Xi leading the navy to harass the coasts of Xuzhou and Qingzhou.Later, after Feng Xi led the army to retreat, he did not immediately return to the naval base in Jiaozhou, but went north along the coast of Qingzhou to Youzhou.

Feng Xi ordered the army to dock on the shore, and he only led a few guards ashore to meet Gongsun Yuan in secret.

Gongsun Yuan is the grandson of Gongsundu in Liaodong and the son of Gongsun Kang.

Gongsun Du was appointed by Dong Zhuo as the prefect of Liaodong, and then took advantage of the melee of warlords in the Central Plains and had no time to look east, and established himself as Liaodong Marquis and Pingzhou Mu.Then they attacked Goguryeo in the east, Wuhuan in the west, Liaodong Peninsula in the south, Donglai counties in the north of Jiaodong Peninsula across the sea, and expanded their territory.He also recruited talents, set up museums and opened schools, recruited refugees widely, and traveled overseas, as if he was the king of Liaodong.

In the ninth year of Jian'an (204), Gongsun Du died of illness, and his son Gongsun Kang succeeded him.When Yuan Shang was defeated, he fled to Liaodong and joined Gongsun Kang. Cao Cao chased and killed Yuan Shang. Before he came to Liaodong, Gongsun Kang beheaded Yuan Shang's head and dedicated it to Cao Cao.

Gongsun Kang had two sons, the eldest son was named Gongsun Huang, and the second son was named Gongsun Yuan.When Gongsun Kang died, his two sons were young, so Gongsun Kang's younger brother, Gongsun Gong, succeeded Gongsun Kang.

After Cao Pi ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, in order to stabilize Liaodong, he named Gongsun Gong the Marquis of Pingguo, a general of chariots and riders, and a holiday.But Gongsun Gong has a very bad disease, a disease that no man wants to have, it is called male reproductive system disease.In order to survive, Gongsun Gong had to cut off his reproductive organs and became an eunuch. Not only could he not have children, but he was also too weak to govern Liaodong.

As Gongsun Kang's two sons grew up, they became more and more dissatisfied with Gongsun Gong. The seat should have been theirs, but now their uncle's health is so poor that he can't even give birth to a son, so they should take it Return the seat to them.

But who is willing to give up the power in their hands?Especially a useless person like Gongsun Gong is even more unwilling to give up the power of the only man who can prove him.Although Gongsun Gong is already a useless person, after all, he has been in charge of Liaodong for many years, and he is not so easy to deal with.

After Zhang Wu learned of this situation, he made a plan with Pang Tong, Zhuge Liang and others, and made a plan, which was to support Gongsun Huang and Gongsun Yuan brothers to seize power on the condition of sending troops to attack Cao Pi's rear.

That Gongsun Huang knew that Zhang Wu didn't have any good intentions, so he had been lukewarm about it. Even if it was to seize power, he didn't want to rely on outsiders, because maybe this was seeking skin from a tiger.

But Gongsun Yuan is very enthusiastic, because in terms of ability and ambition, Gongsun Yuan is far stronger than his elder brother Gongsun Huang.

So Zhang Wu sent Feng Xilai to meet Gongsun Yuan secretly, make a plan to help him seize power, and then sent troops to stab Cao Pi's chrysanthemum.Zhang Wu also made a promise that after the world is unified in the future, he will make Gongsun Yuan the king of Yan and live in Liaodong.

Gongsun Yuan had already made preparations in secret, and had bought many of his father's confidantes back then. After receiving Zhang Wu's support, his confidence increased greatly, because Zhang Wu secretly sent him a lot of weapons and equipment, money and food, With the help of [-] elite Chu soldiers brought by Feng Xi.

In fact, Gongsun Gong has been guarding against Gongsun Huang and Gongsun Yuan brothers, but he never thought that Gongsun Yuan had already received Zhang Wu's help.In order to ensure success, Zhang Wu dispatched two generals, Zhou Tai and Pan Zhang, to assist Feng Xi. There was also a counselor hiding beside Feng Xi, that is Liao Li, the chief of Da Chu's secret service.

Therefore, with the assistance of Feng Xi, Gongsun Yuan successfully seized power and forced Gongsun Gong to abdicate.

After seizing power, Gongsun Yuan imprisoned Gongsun Gong, but did not send troops to attack Cao Pi's rear for a long time.

It turned out that Gongsun Yuan was not a fool, he knew that Zhang Wu was also using him, and now the north and the south might have the last laugh, so Cao Pi would not be easy to deal with.So Gongsun Yuan found all kinds of excuses not to send troops immediately. He wanted to wait another two years and see the situation.

If Zhang Wu can win in the end, he will vote for Zhang Wu and give Cao Pi a fatal blow; if Cao Pi has hope of winning, he will honestly stay behind.

If Zhang Wu and Cao Pi fight and lose both, maybe he, Gongsun Yuan, is the real man!

But who are Zhang Wu, Pang Tong, and Zhuge Liang, how could they not have expected this situation?
After Gongsun Yuan succeeded in seizing power, Feng Xi led the army to play the banner of Great Chu with great fanfare. Then the news that Zhang Wu helped Gongsun Yuan seize power and promised to make him King of Yan spread throughout Youzhou.

That Youzhou belonged to the State of Wei in name, and Gongsun Gong was also an official of the State of Wei who was canonized by Cao Pi, and the State of Wei also had other officials in Youzhou, such as Wuqiu Jian, the governor of Youzhou.

Guan Qiujian waited for the news, and it was too late to investigate the details, so he acted immediately, sending people to inform Jizhou to strengthen the guard, and at the same time sending people to Luoyang to rush the situation.

Cao Pi, Sima Yi and others were shocked when they heard the news. Youzhou is next to Jizhou. Now the main force of Wei State is on the front line to resist Zhang Wu. The rear is empty, and Jizhou is the base camp of Wei State. If there is a loss, there is the danger of destroying the country.

Now Cao Pi doesn't think about what Gongsun Yuan is thinking, because he has already colluded with Zhang Wu, and the generals and troops of the Chu army have appeared in Liaodong. No matter what Gongsun Yuan's plan is, Cao Pi will destroy it as soon as possible Gongsun Yuan, pacify Liaodong, ensure the safety of the rear, and then resist Zhang Wu with all his strength.

Once Zhang Wu is allowed to occupy Liaodong, Cao Pi really can't stop it, because Youzhou can not only threaten his old nest, but also an important place for horse production. Back then, Gongsun Zan used "white horse righteousness" to traverse Youzhou , Jizhou and Qingzhou.Cao's father and son spent so much material to defend Wudu, isn't it just to prevent Zhang Wu from getting the horse?

Soldiers are precious and fast, and it is still too late to send troops to suppress the rebellion while Liaodong is just in chaos. Once Zhang Wu is allowed to deploy enough backhands in Liaodong, the entire Youzhou will not belong to Wei State, and the situation will turn sharply downward at that time up.

Therefore, such a matter related to the life and death of Wei Guo can only be handled by Cao Pi's most trusted Sima Yi.

Sima Yi quickly dispatched troops, led an army of [-] to Jizhou, and ordered Hu Zun to be the vanguard.

A total of [-] troops were stationed in Luoyang, and now Sima Yi led [-] to leave, and the remaining [-] cannot be moved anymore, and must be reserved for other emergencies that may occur.

So Zhang Wu's goal was achieved.

After receiving the news, Zhang Wu issued a combat order, ordering Xu Shu to lead Ma Chao, Zhao Yun, Zhang Ren, Pang De, Chen Dao, Ma Dai, Zhang Yi, Wu Lan, Zhuo Ying and other generals to lead [-] infantry and all cavalry to attack Xiabian; Huang Zhong and Meng Da led [-] infantry to garrison Gushan, cut off the retreat of Cao's army in Xiabian City, and blocked Cao's reinforcements from Liangzhou; Cao Jun in Chang'an.
