Liaodong has had internal troubles in recent years but no external troubles...

For more than 40 years since Gongsun Du separatized Liaodong, apart from the beginning when Gongsun Du sent troops to conquer Gaoguli and Wuwan, there have been no serious wars in Liaodong. It is a rare place of peace and tranquility in troubled times. Although Gongsun Du

He is easy to kill, but he mainly targets those powerful local powerful people who look down on him. He generally does not take the initiative to harass the people from the Central Plains who have fled. Generally speaking, he has a bad reputation and few misdeeds. In his governance

Next, Liaodong is pretty good.

From Gongsun Du to Gongsun Kang, and then to Gongsun Gong and Gongsun Yuan, the Gongsun family passed down three generations and four masters in Liaodong for forty-three years. During these forty years, the Central Plains has been in chaos, the household registration has been reduced sharply, and some people have died.

Due to the war, some people fled. There were two directions for fleeing: southward to Wujun and up to Jiaozhou, and northward mainly to Liaodong.

The large external population enriched Liaodong's strength and gave the Gongsun family more confidence to speak. In the absence of pacification of the Central Plains, Cao Cao began to implement a policy of restraint in Liaodong and turned a blind eye to the fact that the Gongsun family separatized Liaodong.

At first glance, even Cao Cao's expedition to Karasuma only hit Liucheng and did not attack Liaodong at all.

After more than forty years of peaceful life, the Gongsun family has long regarded this place as their own territory. Although they have not explicitly called themselves kings, they have long been the kings of Liaodong, and they have done things such as offering sacrifices to heaven and earth in the suburbs.

Something like that.

It should be said that apart from the competition between brothers, uncles and nephews, Liaodong is a veritable paradise. Materials are not rich, but there are no major wars, and life safety is still guaranteed.

Gongsun Yuan was the grandson of Gongsun Du and the second son of Gongsun Kang. His rights were wrested from his uncle Gongsun Gong. However, he did not feel guilty at all. Not to mention that Gongsun Gong was a waste and was not qualified to inherit the family business.

, he did not even take his father Gongsun Kang seriously. He always felt that among the many children of the Gongsun family, he was the only one qualified to inherit the great legacy of his grandfather Gongsun Du, and only he could carry forward the foundation created by his grandfather.

Therefore, Gongsun Yuan was not as contented as his father and uncle. He was very concerned about the situation in the Central Plains. Originally, he was not optimistic about the Shu Han. The Shu Han was trapped in Yizhou, and Guan Yu, Liu Bei and others died in battle one after another, and their vitality was seriously injured.

It seems that at most it will be a temporary separatist regime, and the conditions are not as good as those in Liaodong. At least Liaodong has war horses. He also doesn't like Cao Wei, because he understands that once Cao Wei takes care of Shu Han and Sun Wu, he will definitely not be allowed to continue to live freely. Of course

However, he was not optimistic about Sun Wu. Although Sun Wu's navy was very strong, it also had no war horses and was not strong enough to compete with Cao Wei.

However, this does not hinder Gongsun Yuan's desire to unite with Sun Quan. Only by uniting with Sun Quan can we learn from each other's strengths and make up for our weaknesses. Only by making Cao Wei exhausted can Liaodong have more development opportunities.

Five years ago, Gongsun Yuan had just killed his uncle Gongsun Gong and wanted to contact Sun Quan, but what happened next made him change his mind.

In that year, Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition was successful and he captured Guanzhong, changing the situation in the world in one fell swoop. The Shu Han, which once seemed to have no hope at all in Gongsun Yuan's eyes, became the most promising one among the Three Kingdoms. For Gongsun Yuan, it was also the most promising.

A threatening one.

Because if Shu Han has Guanzhong, it is possible to capture Liangzhou; if it has Liangzhou, it will have a place to raise horses; if it has war horses, it will have the opportunity to compete for balance in the world.

The subsequent development basically did not go beyond Gongsun Yuan's expectations. The more the war, the more powerful the Shu Han was. It rejected Cao Wei in the north and attacked Sun Wu in the south. Within a few years, the Shu Han owned half of the country, and it also occupied half of the country with strategic advantages. In contrast,

, Cao Wei and Sun Wu were defeated in repeated battles. Cao Wei lost Hexi and Sun Wu lost Jingzhou.

The most surprising one among them is Wei Ba. In just a few years, Wei Ba conquered the north and south at a weak age, and made great achievements. He was appointed as General Zhennan, and controlled ten counties in Jingzhou and Jiaozhou.

Become a force that cannot be ignored.

Gongsun Yuan liked this kind of strong young man very much, and even felt sympathy for each other. However, while admiring Wei Ba's rapid rise, he was also a little uneasy. Especially when Wei Ba sent his navy to circumvent the East China Sea and break into Wu Commandery.

The successful implementation of the tactic made him smell the danger.

Sun Wu's navy dominated the world and was unable to carry out an expedition of such a large scale. However, Wei Ba's navy successfully implemented such difficult tactics from the beginning. This only shows that the strength of Jiaozhou Navy far exceeds that of Sun Wu's navy.

, since they can cross the East China Sea and reach Wu County, it is possible to reach Liaodong. After the technical problems are solved, what is left is only a matter of time.

Under this situation, Gongsun Yuan's pressure increased dramatically and he had to pay more attention to Wei Ba. Because of this, when he felt uneasy, the first thing he thought of was Wei Ba.

However, after thinking about it, he felt that at present, Wei Ba did not have the strength to expedition to Liaodong. Even though Wei Ba had just defeated Sun Quan, the real effect was the infantry. With more than 10,000 naval troops, it was

He was unable to accomplish this goal. To expedition to Liaodong, his infantry would have to travel thousands of miles, and the possibility of coming by sea was very small. He could not complete a war of this scale before capturing Jizhou and Qingzhou.

Therefore, Gongsun Yuan turned his attention to the interior of Liaodong.

Gongsun Gong's death does not mean that there are no people in the Gongsun family who are ready to make trouble, such as Gongsun Gong's son and his brother Gongsun Huang.

External enemies are very powerful, but they are also far away, and there is sufficient warning time. Internal enemies are weaker, but more hidden and difficult to guard against. At any time, internal enemies are more terrifying than external enemies.

So he wanted to ask Guan Ren to give him a divination.

Guan Ren was from the Qingzhou Plain. Not long after he crossed the sea and arrived in Liaodong, he became famous for his magical divination and physiognomy. Gongsun Yuan didn't believe it at first, but after trying it himself, he worshiped Guan Ren as a god. However,

Guan Ren was not a good official and refused Gongsun Yuan's official position. Therefore, if something happened, Gongsun Yuan had to send someone to invite him. Whether he could be invited, he had to check whether Guan Ren was at home.

This man looks like a wild crane, his whereabouts are uncertain, and I don't know if he has been in Xiangping in the past two days.

While waiting, Gongsun Yuan was restless and his hand was almost burned by the fire. When Guan Ren came in, he was hurriedly stepping on the burning ribbon.

Guan Ren stood at the door, looking at the embarrassed Gongsun Yuan, looking at his ribbon that was blackened by the fire, and suddenly sighed.

Gongsun Yuan was shocked, and without caring about his manners, he quickly stepped forward to salute and asked uneasily: "Sir?"

"Why do you want to step on the fire?" Guan Ren sighed again, his ugly face was full of pity, which made Gongsun Yuan feel hairy in his heart. If he didn't step on it, would he be burned to death if he didn't step on it?

Gongsun Yuan politely asked Guan Ren to take his seat and said humbly, "Sir, please give me some advice."

Guan Ren sighed again, but did not move. Instead, he turned around, ready to leave at any time. He looked at the thick snow in the courtyard outside and the ice on the roof, and said lightly: "Han is the virtue of fire, and Shou is

For an official, when the New Year is approaching, and the ribbon is burned, it means that the person will disobey the Han Dynasty and abandon the darkness and turn to the light. Liaodong is a land of ice and snow, which is yin, and fire is yang. The fire is under the water and the water is under the fire, which is the hexagram of Jiji. Fire is south and governs the south.

There is good news, but it is rejected by the princes. The good news turns into a bad omen, which is beyond human control. Liaodong is no longer at peace, so let's leave this place."

With that said, Guan Ren walked away. Before Gongsun Yuan could react, he had already disappeared outside the door. Gongsun Yuan was shocked. He picked up the burnt black ribbon and looked at it. He couldn't help but trembled and woke up.

Come here, shouting and chasing outside.

"Sir, please stay. Sir, please stay."

He walked too fast and accidentally tripped on his foot. He fell to the ground with a thud, slid five steps away, and plunged into the snowdrift in the corner.

The guards were shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to help him up. Gongsun Yuan, holding his head in the snow, did not bother to say anything and rushed out the door. There was no sign of Guan Lu anywhere.

"Go quickly and invite Mr. Guan back to me!" Gongsun Yuan was furious, pointing at Gongsun Xiu who was standing aside and yelling curses.

Gongsun Xiu did not dare to neglect, so he took a few people with him and hurriedly chased him out.

Gongsun Yuan stood at the door, his face turning red and white. The snow on his head was melted by his body temperature, dripped down his hat, and dripped on his neck. A bone-chilling chill instantly made him tremble.

Just like what Guan Ren said.

Gongsun Yuan stayed for a long time, until Gongsun Xiu came back with nothing and told him that Guan Ren was missing like a ghost, and he gradually came to his senses.

"Immediately send people to look for him. We will dig up three feet of the ground in Liaodong to find him." Gongsun Yuan said with a cold expression on his face and gritted his teeth: "Don't let a word of what he said today be spread to anyone else, otherwise he will be killed."

Gongsun Xiu also shuddered and agreed repeatedly.

…

In Dangyang, in front of a newly renovated tomb, sister and brother Guan Feng and Guan Xing fell to the ground crying.

After Guan Yu defeated Maicheng, Sun Quan beheaded him, sent it to Luoyang, and buried his body in Dangyang. Cao Cao received Guan Yu's head and made a body for Guan Yu with gold.

Hou Li buried him in Luoyang. Liu Bei built a tomb for Guan Yu in Chengdu. So Guan Yu has three tombs, but the one in Chengdu is actually an empty tomb. The descendants of the Guan family offer sacrifices every year, and they gnash their teeth thinking about it.

Now that the Shu Han has retaken Nanjun, Dangyang's tomb has also been included in the scope of the Shu Han. In addition to the head, part of Guan Yu's body has finally been recovered. For the first time, the Guan family brothers and sisters paid homage to their late father's body instead of facing several pieces.

The clothes are naturally both happy and sad, and the mood is exciting.

Li Feng stood not far away, looking at Guan Feng and Guan Xing who were crying loudly, with a solemn expression but feeling happy in his heart.

Guan Feng came from the south of the Yangtze River, and Guan Xing came from Guanzhong. It was natural to pay homage to Guan Yu's body for the first time with great solemnity. Logically speaking, Wei Ba, the son-in-law, should also come in person, but Wei Ba did not come. The reason is very simple.

He could not leave his residence without permission. In fact, he wanted to tell Li Feng that he would not enter Li Feng's residence under any excuse and interfere with Li Feng's rights.

Li Feng was very satisfied with this. His strength was not as good as that of Wei Ba, and Wei Ba's restraint could only mean that Wei Ba did not dare to despise him, whether it was because of Li Feng himself or because of his father, the general behind him.

Whether Wei Ba respects him or is afraid of him, he is very satisfied with this effect.

To reciprocate the favor, Li Feng also opened the door for Guan Feng and his younger brother, and even brought his subordinates from the prefecture to offer sacrifices. Face is given to each other. Wei Ba gave him face, and of course he had to give Wei Ba face. However,

Wei Ba respects him because he respects etiquette and knows how to advance and retreat, but when he gives Wei Ba face, he respects him as a polite and virtuous corporal. There is a fundamental difference.

At least that's how it seemed to him.
