Liao Tun City is the western gateway to Xiangping, which guards the Liaohe River in all directions and has a very important strategic position. Therefore, even though Gongsun Kang was very tight in his troops, he placed four thousand county soldiers here.

Yu Jin captured Bi Xu, the general who was suspected of the army, who was commanding the army, and after some coercion and temptation, Bi Xu decided to surrender to the court. He brought Yu Jin's 10,000 troops to the bottom of Liao Tun City and shouted loudly: "The little marquis is worried that Lu Bu will send his army to cross the Liao River, so he will send us to reinforce.

Tan Yu, the Liaodong general guarding Liaotun City, did not know that Gongsun Kang had dispatched his troops in the past few days. He only received countless bad news from the west. He knew that Lu Bu set up a trap and defeated the 100,000 troops of his lord Gongsun Du. He knew that the Wangmen, the general under Gongsun Zan, had surrendered to Lu Bu, and together with the Wuhuan of Tadun's three counties, surrounded the lord in Xiaogu Mountain next to the Bailangshui. The lord Gongsun Du only had three thousand remaining soldiers, and his life was unexpected at any time. He often worried that Lu Bu's army would attack and that the 4,000 county soldiers under his lord could not resist it.

Just when the Liaodong general Tan Yu was worried that Lu Bu's army would sweep, he heard that the young master Gongsun Kang sent 10,000 troops to help him defend the city, and the 10,000 troops came from Xiangping. Tan Yu didn't think much about it. After seeing the face of his acquaintance Bi Xu, he ordered his soldiers to open the city gate and put 10,000 troops into the city.

Yu Jin pretended to be a small pawn, followed behind Bi Xu, and whispered: "General Bi, if you want to win the trust of my lord and get his appreciation, killing Tan Yu is the best opportunity!"

Bi Xu had no choice. Now all the ten thousand soldiers were Yu Jin's Qingzhou soldiers. He was already in a difficult position, so he had to nod and said yes.

Tan Yu listed in front of Bi Xu's horse with a smile on his face: "General Bi, thanks to you coming to reinforce, otherwise I would not be able to sleep all night, and Lu Bu has too many people!"

Bi Xu's face suddenly changed and he shouted sternly: "Tan Yu, you can stay in the future!" Yu Jin rushed out from behind him, and each of Bi Xu killed Tan Yu and killed him.

Ten thousand Qingzhou soldiers went down the mountain like tigers. After a short while, they killed the four thousand county soldiers, more than one thousand people died in battle, and more than two thousand surrendered.

The Qingzhou Corps' army led the military police to post a notice to the people, telling the residents of Liaotun City that the imperial army will come soon and will liberate you from the evil rule of the Gongsun family. Your life will be much better than it is now. You don't have to worry about the situation of war. Our imperial army will not violate the innocent people.

Due to the unremitting publicity work that Lu Bu has been working hard for three years, the people in the world know that the living standards of the people under Lu Bu's rule are the best among all the Han forces. If they were not attached to their hometown, many people from Liaodong might have moved to Jizhou. Now that Lu Bu's men have been fighting, they cannot be called very supportive, at least they will not reject them, and the order will soon settle down.

Many young and strong people in the city were inspired by the high commissions of the Central Army. At the same time, they were very dissatisfied with the Gongsun family's betrayal of the central court, so they were willing to assist the Central Army in defending the city.

Gongsun Kang led 40,000 infantry and cavalry to pursue Yu Jin. Taishi Ci's Qingzhou soldiers, Yu Jin, Taishi Ci, and later escaped into the mountains. Gongsun Kang wanted to chasing the horse and chasing the mountain, but was blocked by the mysterious boy: "Little Marquis, the Qingzhou soldiers were reorganized by Qingzhou Yellow Turbans, crossing mountains and ridges like walking on flat ground, and the Liaodong army was dominant with cavalry. If chasing horses and striking the mountain, they would attack the enemy's strength with their own shortcomings. The 40,000 troops might not be able to do anything to their ten thousand remaining soldiers."

Gongsun Kang looked depressed and said with a sad look: "What should you do if you mean?"

The mysterious boy spread out the map and smiled coldly: "Little Marquis, our focus now is not on annihilation of Yu Zhengmen, but on saving the Marquis and revitalizing the morale of Liaodong!"

Gongsun Kang frowned and said, "As you expected, Tadun led 20,000 cavalry and 10,000 horses to surround his father. The three counties of Tadun's Wuhuan were waiting to ambush my reinforcements. How can we save my father in this situation?!"

The mysterious young young man smiled contemptuously and said, "Little Marquis, Tadun led 20,000 elite cavalry to surround the Marquis, and sent 60,000 troops to ambush the reinforcements of the Marquis. In this way, how many string-controlling men are still there on the grassland between Liucheng and Bailang Mountain!"

Gongsun Kang laughed loudly: "A word awakened the dreamer, and the whole nest came out. The Wuhuan in the three counties was empty. I led the army to attack his royal court and forced him to withdraw his troops, and then I could calmly rescue my father."

Therefore, Gongsun Kang ignored Taishici's suspicious soldiers at all, but retreated back to Xiangping City, summoned all soldiers who were good at riding and shooting, and formed 40,000 cavalry, preparing to cross the Liao River and go from Xuantu County to the Bailang Mountain, the royal court in Wuhuan of the three counties.

But when Gongsun Kang pointed out 40,000 cavalry to cross the Liaohe River from Liaotun City, he found that Liaotun City had fallen into Yu Jin's hands. Gongsun Kang was furious and deeply felt that Yu Jin's more than 10,000 Qingzhou soldiers were hard nails that Lu Bu smashed into Liaodong and must be pulled out, otherwise he would not be able to sleep or eat. However, Gongsun Kang led 40,000 cavalry, so he could not help Liaotun City re-reinforced by Yu Jin.

Gongsun Kang had no choice but to listen to the mysterious boy's advice, and decided to rescue his father first and then take other measures.

When Gongsun Kang led 40,000 cavalry away from Xiangping, Xiangping also left more than 10,000 infantry, led by Gongsun Du's confidant Yang Yi, Yu Jin had only more than 10,000 troops and was unable to capture Xiangping City, so he asked Taishi Ci to lead 6,000 troops to capture Xinchang, Anshi, Wenxian, Fangxian and other cities near Liaotun City in turn.

Every time Taishi Ci attacked the city, he deliberately asked the people in the city to go to Xiangping City for help. If Yang Yi sent troops to help, he would come to a circumambulate and attack the aid without hesitation. However, Yang Yi was an old fox and knew the tricks of the Central Army to circumambate and attack the aid. Yang Yi ignored the requests for help from those cities and only wanted to defend Xiangping City firmly.

Seeing that Yang Yi could not lure Yang Yi, Taishi Ci had to capture the cities and transfer the young and strong people in the cities to Liaotun City, gradually building Liaotun City into a powerful outpost for the Central Army to attack Xiangping City.

Gongsun Kang led his army upwards, crossed the upper reaches of the Liao River, sneaked into the grassland, and rushed straight to Liucheng.

The main force of the Wuhuan in the three counties was taken away by Tadun. In addition, the Wuhuan in the three counties was formed by several scattered tribes. There were less than 4,000 elite troops who were truly staying in the Wuhuan royal court in Liucheng, and the remaining 40,000 to 50,000 were all elderly, weak, women and children. These Wuhuan people thought that the Gongsun clan in Liaodong would be finished, so they were not wary of it.

Gongsun Kang led 40,000 elite cavalry. He took advantage of the Wuhuan people's unpreparedness. At a misty dawn, he suddenly launched a surprise attack on the Wuhuan royal court. Under the protection of his followers, the Wuhuan little Shanyu Louban fled to the Bailang City at the foot of Bailang Mountain in a panic and sent a fast horse to repay Tadun.

Gongsun Kang led 40,000 elite cavalry to massacre many weak tribes in Wuhuan. All the old and young men were killed, all the pastures were burned, all the cattle and sheep were slaughtered, and women were raped and then killed. For a moment, the two hundred miles of grassland between Bailang Mountain and Liucheng were killed into hell on earth.

The escaped Wuhuan people rushed to the foot of Xiaogu Mountain next to Bailang Water and told Tadun about Gongsun Kang's bloody revenge. Tadun was immediately indifferent. Even though Tian Yu and the Wangmen repeatedly advised him to continue to follow the previous plan and destroy the Gongsun family to avenge the grassland tribe. However, Tadun was forced to pressure from the tribe and led 20,000 cavalrymen to withdraw from the siege of Xiaogu Mountain. The 60,000 Wuhuan cavalry who were originally preparing to ambush Gongsun Kang's reinforcements on the east bank of Bailang Water also withdrew their troops. Tadun led 80,000 Wuhuan cavalry to rush to the Wuhuan royal court.

Seeing that he had successfully led the Wuhuan cavalry of Tadun back to the grassland, Gongsun Kang followed the mysterious boy's suggestion and asked a deputy general to take 20 cavalry to play the role of the main force of the Liaodong cavalry, and he led most of his troops to detour to Xiaogu Mountain.

At this time, Xiaogushan only had more than 10,000 troops from the Wangmen, and they were all local county soldiers in Youzhou. They had weak combat power and could not defeat nearly 40,000 Liaodong cavalry there. The Wangmen was not very powerful and was killed by Gongsun Kang on the spot.

Fortunately, Tian Yu won the respect of these Youzhou County soldiers in the past half month, gathered more than 4,000 remaining soldiers, and retreated back to Feiru City.

Gongsun Kang was worried that he would meet Zhao Yun and Yan Xing's troops in Yuyang County now, and that the Wuhuan cavalry of Tadun were fighting again, so he did not chase and attack Tian Yu's four thousand remaining soldiers. Instead, he rushed straight to Xiaogu Mountain and rescued his father Gongsun Du, and then prepared to go home.

When Tadun returned to Bailang Mountain, he saw that the elderly, weak, women and children of the grassland tribe were killed by Gongsun Kang, and tens of thousands of cattle and sheep were slaughtered by Gongsun Kang in the wilderness. Hundreds of thousands of acres of grassland were burned by Gongsun Kang. Tadun shouted: "If you don't kill Gongsun Kang, you will not be a human being!"

Tadun left 20,000 cavalry to stay in the royal court and personally led 60,000 cavalry to chase Gongsun Kang. Gongsun Kang had already rescued his father Gongsun Du from Xiaogushan. Tadun hated Gongsun Kang to the core and pursued him relentlessly. After Gongsun Kang crossed the Liao River, he attacked the Wuhuan cavalry who forced him to cross the Liao River. Tadun was defeated, and nearly 20,000 cavalry lost 60,000 cavalry.

Fortunately, Taishi Ci led 4,000 newly reorganized Qingzhou cavalry to attack Gongsun Kang's rear camp, which allowed Tadun to escape the danger of annihilation of the entire army. When Gongsun Kang saw Yu Jin, Taishi Ci and Tadun joined forces. Knowing that he could not take advantage, he quickly retreated back to Xiangping City.

Although Gongsun Du was defeated in Yuyang and his army was wiped out by 100,000 troops, he had been in Liaodong for many years and had a high prestige. After he returned to Liaodong County, he spread rumors that Lu Bu was preparing to ced the Liaodong County to the Wuhuan people, which aroused many Liaodong people's hatred of the enemy. Many young and strong men from Liaodong signed up to join the army one after another. In a moment, Gongsun Du recruited another 40,000 new recruits, plus the original more than 50,000 troops, and combined nearly 100,000 troops to guard Xiangping and Liaoyang Zhucheng. Basically, the entire Xuantu County was under the control of Gongsun Du.

The Military Intelligence Department, headed by Jia Xu, installed agents in Xiangping City, Liaodong a year ago. The agents quickly sent the recent situation in Liaodong and the intelligence of the mysterious boy to Yecheng. Because of Jia Xu's smart management, the Military Intelligence Department had a special intelligence transmission channel, which arrived in Lu Bu earlier than the urgent military emergency reports of Yu Jin, Taishi Ci, and Tian Yu.
