"The Gongsun family in Liaodong has served as a border guard for the country for nearly thirty years and has made great contributions. I am a shepherd and protector of the people. Although I live in the temple, I often hear about the greatness of the Gongsun family.
Goguryeo has been dissatisfied with the king for a long time, and has repeatedly invaded the Han Dynasty. The Qing family destroyed the country. I am very relieved and the country is lucky. In order to show the loyalty and bravery of the Gongsun family, I discussed with the ministers and granted Gongsun Gong the title of Lelanggong. During the holidays, I pray. For the cavalry general!
His elder brother, Gongsun Kang, was posthumously named Duke Xiangping, the Great Sima! His father, Gongsun Du, was posthumously named Duke Xuanchu, the Great General!"

The Wei State did not recognize the title of Marquis of Yan conferred by Chu State on Gongsun Gong. Lelanggong was a double-character duke, but he was obviously much higher than the Marquis of Yan.
Starting from Gongsun Du, two generations of his father and brother were granted the title of Duke, and even high positions such as Grand Sima and Grand General were moved out. This shows how much money the Wei State invested in Gongsun Gong.
Although it was only a posthumous title, it can indeed be seen how much the Wei State valued Gongsun Gong.
After Sima Yi finished reading the imperial edict, he looked at Gongsun Gong who was kneeling on the ground with a smile, "General Gongsun, please accept the edict."
General Gongsun! Even in words, the State of Wei did not recognize the Marquis of Yan unilaterally conferred by the State of Chu.
Gongsun Gong knelt on the ground and thought for a long time. Finally he stood up and returned to his seat, but did not accept the order.
Sima Yi's smile gradually disappeared, "General, what do you mean? Do you think the reward from the court is not enough?"
Gongsun Gong sat on the main seat, snorted coldly and said, "Gong Lelang? What kind of prince is this? Although I am at war with the Chu State, I am the Marquis of Yan!"
Gongsun Gong was not in a state of anger, nor was he angry that Sima Yi called him a general. He was just angry that the State of Wei conferred on him the title of duke with two characters.
As a Marquis of Yan, his people can call themselves Yan people, and his country is the Kingdom of Yan to the outside world. Furthermore, he can be called the Duke of Yan or the King of Yan!

Where is Duke Lelang? Lelang Country? Lelang People? Lelang King?
Does that sound good? Besides, even if he defected to two big countries in a duplicitous way, Gongsun Gong was just trying to gain more benefits.
To put it bluntly, Gongsun Gong was not very satisfied with this reward. He was still very interested in the official position of Jiajie and Chariot General. But this Duke Lelang, he did not want to accept it.
The people under the Gongsun family have called themselves Marquis and Lord of Yan for several months, and they call themselves the Kingdom of Yan. In terms of appearance, the single-character Yan is better.
Sima Yi had long expected that Gongsun Gong would have such thoughts, and said without any panic, "Although the general's title of Marquis of Yan sounds good, and there is the possibility of further advancement, it was privately canonized by the Chu State and was not approved by the imperial court. Approved.”
"Not to mention the Marquis of Yanhou, Liu Cong's King of Chu also pretended to be the king, and the court did not recognize it."
As he said this, Sima Yi was still scolding Gongsun Gong in his heart, "Idiot, people have beaten you to the door of your house and played with you like this, yet you still hold on to a humiliating title."
Gongsun Gong sneered and said, "So what? The King of Chu proclaimed himself king in the south and established the country. It's not likely that Wei Gong could do anything to the King of Chu and the Kingdom of Chu."
Sima Yi also sneered, "General, first of all, I want to explain that my Duke Wei has been crowned king. He is the king of Wei who was officially canonized by the imperial court under the decree of the Emperor of Han Dynasty!"
"This is not the king of Chu or the king of Shu. This is a king recognized by the court. You should call my king the king of Wei!"

Is Cao Cao proclaimed king? Gongsun Gong was surprised, "The king of Wei is named Han but is actually a traitor to Han. People have been scolding him for how many years. Proclaiming himself king? I'm afraid he was forced to confer the title by the emperor, right?"
"This is no different from Liu Bei and Liu Cong claiming to be kings privately, right? I am now the Marquis of Yan. After the Chu thieves are destroyed, I can take the next step and become the Duke of Yan! When the Gongsun family's foundation is stronger, I can become the King of Yan.
!”
Sima Yi took a step forward, stared at Gongsun Gong and said, "Being king requires capital. Which one of our kings, Liu Cong, and Liu Bei, does not have millions or even tens of millions of subordinates? Which one does not have hundreds of thousands in armor?"
"The general wants to be the King of Yan and wants to betray the imperial court. Although my king cannot do anything to the two Lius, it is easy for Wei's million-strong army to destroy the general!"
"Bang!"
Gongsun Gong directly punched the table, "The thief Cao arrogantly claimed the throne and insulted the emperor. He is the treasonous traitor to the country!"
"Destroy our Yan State? My Gongsun family has been standing firm in Liaodong for decades, and no one can do anything to my Gongsun family. Chu State can't do it, and your Wei State can't do it either!"
Sima Yi sneered and said, "I'm afraid the general doesn't know that after my king became king, he was already preparing to use troops against Liaodong. It was only after I and several civil servants persuaded me that my king gave up his intention of conquest."
"If nothing else, let's just say that the general and the Chu army are now facing each other here. Tens of thousands of Wei troops from Youzhou are marching eastward. How can the general bear it? At this moment, the rear of the Yan Kingdom is empty. Once our army of Wei breaks through the Liaoxi Corridor, the Yan Kingdom will be destroyed.
, it’s just a matter of an instant!”
These words touched on Gongsun Gong's pain point. Sima Yi was right. The Yan State now had an empty back and had to guard against the Chu army that was harassing the sea. It did not have more troops to guard against the Wei State.

If the Liaoxi Corridor is breached, Yan will not be able to withstand the attack from both sides of Wei and Chu.
Seeing that Gongsun Gong was a little discouraged, Sima Yi continued, "It is only because my king cannot bear to destroy the legacy of the general's father and brother for three generations at once, that I asked me to come and reward the general."
"If the general persists in his stubbornness and makes my king furious, once the army arrives, our country of Wei can die fifty thousand or one hundred thousand people. How many casualties can your country of Yan bear?"
Gongsun Gong was silent for a moment and said, "Then can you tell the King of Wei that I don't need anything else, but I only want the title Yan."
Yan can also be used as a country name. With the country name Yan, Gongsun Gong can truly become a country of his own. Only then can he use this country name to posthumously name his father and elder brother as kings of Yan.
And Duke Lelang, stop talking nonsense, use this posthumous title to Gongsun Kang and Gongsun Du, they all crawled out of the coffin in anger.
"You've come to this fucking point, and you're still thinking about a bullshit title. You won't change it yourself afterwards. There are already people who claim to be kings without permission, so what's the point of changing your title? This Gongsun Gong is really stupid.
Much worse than his father and brother."
"I can make the decision in this matter? I'm just here to complete the task. You can't change it on your own? Why is this idiot so stubborn?"
Sima Yi cursed a few more times in his mind, but said sternly, "General, the court has its own laws, and titles cannot be changed at will. I don't have that power either."
"But I can go back and persuade my king. If the general can be on good terms with me, the Great Wei Dynasty, not to mention changing his title, it will not be difficult to help you destroy the Chu army!"

Gongsun Gong was a little shaken. He stared at Sima Yi and said, "King Wei, does he really not know how to send troops to Liaodong? Will he really help Guping to destroy the Chu bandits?"
idiot!
Sima Yi cursed in his heart again, "General, don't worry, didn't Zhang Xiu surrender and rebel again? Not only that, he also killed my king's eldest son Cao Ang and general Dian Wei. Our king finally accepted him, and now
Isn’t he still serving my king well?”
After Gongsun Gong thought for a while, he stood up and knelt down on one knee again, "Your Majesty, Gongsun Gong, I accept the imperial edict!"
