Chapter 122 Take refuge
"General Zhonglang, what a great opportunity."

Chen Lin, who was following Cao Pi, said after hearing the news from Youzhou.

"What a good opportunity?" Cao Pi asked in surprise when he heard Chen Lin's words.

After hearing Cao Pi's question, Chen Lin said: "If Gongsun Kangzhen lost [-] troops in Youzhou, then Liaodong will be empty. As long as our army can defeat it, Liaodong will be easily accessible."

After a pause, Chen Lin said: "If Zhonglang takes you back to Liaodong, then your status in the eyes of the prime minister will definitely be different."

Hearing Chen Lin's words, Cao Pi's eyes lit up, and after thinking about it, his whole heart became hot.

"Sir, you are right. We must not let go of this opportunity." Cao Pi thought for a while and said, "But now, we still need to rush to Youzhou as soon as possible, and plan the next action after arriving in Youzhou."

"General Zhonglang is right, then tell everyone the news, let everyone speed up the march, and strive to reach Youzhou as soon as possible." Chen Lin said.

Soon, the [-] soldiers led by Cao Pi to support Youzhou got the news of Youzhou's victory. Suddenly, the whole army was shocked and walked a lot faster.

When Cao Pi came to Youzhou with an army of [-], it was the time when Li Bai, the governor of Youzhou, organized people to attack Liaodong on a large scale.

The arrival of Cao Pi is just in time for a counterattack.

Under such circumstances, Cao Pi only had time to stay in Jicheng for one day. After a quick visit to the teacher Zhang Qingfeng, he rushed towards Liaodong with his [-] troops.

At this time, both the Youzhou army and Cao Pi's [-] soldiers were full of confidence in defeating Liaodong.

After all, most of Gongsun Kang's soldiers and horses were lost in Youzhou, which left Liaodong empty.

In the eyes of many people, attacking Liaodong is like picking up military merits for nothing.

In fact, as Youzhou thought, when tens of thousands of Youzhou soldiers and [-] Yecheng soldiers led by Cao Pi entered the Liaoxi Corridor, the soldiers were not stopped in the slightest.

A few days later, Youzhou soldiers and horses entered Liaodong from the Liaoxi Corridor smoothly.

"strangeness!"

Youzhou soldiers and horses entered Liaodong very smoothly, and they hardly encountered any obstacles along the way.

Several cities in the Western Liaoning Corridor will open their city gates to greet you warmly when they see the arrival of the Youzhou army, as if they have finally met you, the savior. This confuses many people.

Although Gongsun Kang lost [-] soldiers and horses, it is not that there is no family property left.

The Liaoxi Corridor is such an important position, giving up is tantamount to losing Liaodong. Can't he see it?
"General Zhonglang, there is an envoy from Liaodong."

On this day, Cao Pi was discussing the war with a group of generals, and a subordinate rushed in.

"Emissary from Liaodong? Whose envoy?" Cao Pi asked his subordinates.

"It's Gongsun Gong, younger brother of Liaodong prefect Gongsun Kang." The subordinate replied.

"Bring it in, let me hear what he said?" Cao Pi said to his subordinates.

Soon, under the escort of several sergeants, a man dressed as a middle-aged scribe in his 50s was brought in.

"I have seen you all."

The scribe clasped his fists and saluted everyone present.

"Gongsun Gong sent you here, why?" Cao Pi didn't bother to be polite with the other party, so he asked the reason directly.

"This must be Prime Minister Cao's son. The villain has seen you before." The scribe saluted Cao Pi without haste, and then said to Cao Pi: "My lord sent me here because he wants to join you."

"Take refuge with me?" Cao Pi was very surprised when he heard this.

But after thinking about it, Cao Pi understood something again.

It seems that as the Youzhou army enters Liaodong, there is no way to resist with the only remaining troops in Liaodong.

Instead of this, it is better to surrender to the court.

And now the highest nominal commander who leads the army to attack Liaodong can be said to be Cao Pi.

Taking refuge in Cao Pi, if Cao Pi accepts it, is the best result.

If you talk about surrendering to the court, first of all, the word surrender is not pleasant to say.

In addition, if Cao Pi doesn't appreciate it, many people may lose their lives, but it is different to say that they take refuge in Cao Pi, it is tantamount to joining the team directly, and they will be regarded as Cao Pi's people in the future.

Everyone knows that Cao Pi and Cao Zhi are competing for the inheritance rights of Cao Cao's property.

Hearing what the Liaodong envoy said, Cao Pi thought for a while and asked, "What good will it do me for Gongsun Gong to take refuge in me?"

During the Three Kingdoms period, whether it was Cao Cao or you Cao Pi, they were very happy to accept the surrender of the enemy.

In history, Zhang Xiu defected to Cao Cao twice, and when he rebelled for the first time, he killed Cao Cao's son and his general Dian Wei.

It can be said that Cao Cao and Zhang Xiu had a hatred for killing their sons, but in the end they accepted Zhang Xiu's surrender again.

It was also after losing a son and a general that Cao Cao began to restrain his behavior, no longer acted arbitrarily, and began to consider the consequences of everything.

"My lord, if you can accept my lord's support, the whole Liaodong will be at your fingertips. My lord still has [-] soldiers and horses under his command, and they all obey your orders." The middle-aged scribe said to Cao Pi.

"Fifty thousand soldiers? That's the tens of thousands of soldiers that Gongsun Kang used to besiege Leyang!" Cao Pi said, "If Gongsun Gong wants to take refuge in me, isn't he afraid that Gongsun Kang will kill him?"

"Young Master, let's be honest, since the prefect Gongsun was defeated in Youzhou, there has been no news. Now the entire Liaodong is extremely empty, and there is no way to stop your attack, Young Master. It is better to abandon the dark and turn to the light than to wait for the chariot." The middle-aged scribe said.

"Haha, it's a good one to abandon the darkness and turn to the light. You go back and tell Gongsun Gong that if he really wants to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, he will lead the army to vote and help me control the entire Liaodong." Cao Pi said to the middle-aged scribe.

"My son, I will definitely go back and bring it to my lord."

Just when Youzhou soldiers and horses invaded Liaodong, Gongsun Kang, the governor of Liaodong, had already become a prisoner of Ke Bineng, the leader of Xianbei.

At the beginning of the defeat of Liaodong soldiers and horses, Gongsun Kang led [-] cavalry to retreat behind the Xianbei people and entered the territory of the Xianbei people.

However, Gongsun Kang never expected that they were fine at first. When they were short of food and sought supplies from the Xianbei people, they were besieged by tens of thousands of Xianbei people. A large number of Liaodong soldiers became prisoners, and Gongsun Kang and all his generals were also The army was annihilated and they all became prisoners.

The reason why Ke Bineng detains Gongsun Kang is very simple. He wants to seek peace with Youzhou and Cao Cao.

And Gongsun Kang became his weight.

He attacked Youzhou this time, with Cao Cao's character, he would definitely not let it go, and he would be in great trouble at that time.

And Gongsun Kang, the culprit, was the step for him to admit his mistake to Cao Cao.

Sure enough, within half a month, Gongsun Kang's head was sent to Youzhou.

Li Bai, the governor of Youzhou, also saw the head of Gongsun Kang and the emissary of Ke Bineng, the leader of Xianbei.

"Hmph, how can it be that easy? You can come whenever you want and leave whenever you want?"

After listening to the Xianbei envoy's words, Zhang Qingfeng just sneered and didn't express his opinion immediately.

Until the Xianbei envoy went down.

"Teacher, how do you think about this matter?" Asked the Xianbei envoy to retreat, Li Bai asked for Zhang Qingfeng's opinion.

Hearing Li Bai's words, Zhang Qingfeng thought for a while and said, "This matter is definitely not over, but we don't have the ability to attack the grassland right now."

He tapped the table rhythmically with his fingers, and said: "In this case, let's ask for some interest first, let the Xianbei people capture the Liaodong soldiers and send them back to Youzhou, and let the Xianbei people compensate [-] war horses as a counter Make up for the losses caused by Youzhou."
