Liu Yi is a very shrewd person, and he is well aware of the gap between Yang Yi and Gongsun Kang, but he does not want to get involved. Because Yang Yi and he are good friends, in the same camp, and both are Gongsun Du's most trusted advisers, but Gongsun

Kang was Gongsun Du's eldest son and future successor. He would not do such an unwise thing rather than confront him. So he just smoothed things over and avoided talking about Gongsun Du's issue.

Gongsun Du was quite dissatisfied with Liu Yi's answer, but he also knew that his counselor would never get burned, so he could only turn to Liu Yi and Gongsun Kang.

"King Yan, I am willing to lead the army!" Gongsun Kang stood up and said directly after seeing this.

Gongsun Du looked at Gongsun Kang, who had high morale and determination on his face, and nodded slightly. He had always been very satisfied with this outstanding son, and was just about to say yes.

"King Yan! This is a serious matter. Moreover, we must hold our temper at the beginning and avoid fighting with him. Therefore, we need a person with a stable character to be competent. The young master is good at both civil and military affairs, but he is young and energetic, so he may be attacked.

Going to war rashly under provocation will affect the overall situation, and the situation may be dangerous if it falls. I hope Yan will be a steady general to lead the troops." Yang Yi interrupted directly with a loyal face.

"Presumptuous!" The errand that was about to be completed was picked up by Yang Yi. Gongsun Kang was filled with anger. He pointed at Yang Yi and shouted angrily: "Am I just a person who doesn't care about the overall situation in your heart?"

"I don't know whether the young master has the overall situation in mind, but just in case, it's better to send an older general with a calm temperament to lead the army." Yang Yi said unceremoniously.

"Okay, stop arguing!" Gongsun Du frowned as he saw the two of them arguing.

At this time, he was getting older and his energy was no longer what it used to be, so he had been cultivating Gongsun Kang as his successor. Considering this aspect, Gongsun Du thought for a moment and finally looked at Gongsun Kang: "My son is brave and good at fighting. This time

This time, you will be the commander of this army and go to Gaoguli. But you must remember what Liu Changshi said, act calmly, and don't be too hasty and fall into the enemy's plan. In addition, your father will equip you with Zhang Huan and Li Lang.

The two generals, as deputy generals, will assist you. If there is any indecision during the battle, just ask them for advice."

"Thank you so much, King Yan!" Gongsun Kang was so excited when he heard this, he knelt on the ground and said happily.

"Yes!" Gongsun Du nodded slowly: "The war is urgent. You should go down and prepare to set off now. Liu Yi, I will leave the logistics of the army to you. Be careful and report any situation to me immediately."

"Yes!" Liu Yi nodded.

In the evening of that day, Gongsun Kang organized his troops, horses and equipment, led an army of 30,000 people and drove through the night, heading straight for Gaoguli.

Just when Gongsun Kang was launching his army, an army numbering no more than a few thousand in a hidden area on the southeastern coast of Liaodong disembarked from the warship and headed straight for Xiangping, the main camp of Liaodong, along the inaccessible jungle.

There are countless spies and merchants under Yuan Shu, and they also know very well about Liaodong, a remote place that has attracted Yuan Shu's attention. Detailed local terrain maps and information have been sent to Zhang Liao and others. They also focus on describing many remote roads.

, and make full preparations to capture Liaodong.

I have to say that this place in Liaodong is really closed-off. It has been able to survive for so many years in troubled times and survive many times. Its narrow and difficult roads are really a headache. It is difficult for even pedestrians to walk, let alone

We have horses and an army. We can realize that the hardships involved in these remote roads are not appreciated by outsiders. But fortunately, all this was not in vain and now it comes in handy.

During the march during the day and night, Zhang Liao looked at the bumpy road in the distance under the bright moonlight, his eyes full of perseverance, and loudly said to the soldiers behind him: "There are many snakes and insects in this jungle.

Everyone, please be careful. Clothes and trousers must be tied tightly to prevent poisonous insects from crawling in."

"Yes!" everyone said in unison.

Looking at the soldiers with high morale, Zhang Liao felt a little relieved. It was worthy of him to follow him in the north and south, fighting countless soldiers, with good endurance and willpower. They marched for several days in a row, and despite the hardships, they still maintained high morale.

"How many soldiers have we injured now?" Zhang Liao looked at the wounded soldiers in the center of the scattered army and asked the deputy general.

"Sixty-two people were slightly injured, 93 were seriously injured, and 54 were killed." The lieutenant general answered with incomparable accuracy.

"Oh! This road is really difficult to walk!" Zhang Liao sighed with a slight pain in his heart after hearing this.

"General, this is good. We have encountered countless raptors and poisons along the way. If our army had not had a large number of medical soldiers with excellent medical skills, as well as some southern barbarian wizards who are good at dealing with poisons, the damage would have been several times greater than it is now.

If it were other princes, the damage would probably be close to a thousand by now." said the lieutenant general.

"But it's all worth it. As long as Gongjin's actions don't go wrong, we can quickly take Xiangping in a surprise attack. The damage to more than a hundred soldiers will be considered worth it." Zhang Liao said.

"General, we should be able to reach Xiangping in three days. Do you think General Zhou can lead Xiangping's defenders out of the city?" the deputy general asked.

"It will definitely be possible." Zhang Liao said confidently with a smile. He trusted Zhou Yu more than himself. Gong Jin acted cautiously and never made mistakes.

Zhang Liao was on his way in a hurry, but in the direction of Gaoguli, the 30,000-strong army led by Cao Xing had already reached the royal capital of Gaoguli with overwhelming force and surrounded it.

Gaogouli is just a small country, with extremely backward productivity, and the combat effectiveness of the army is simply average. After a little trial, Sun Ce and Zhao Yun gave up the task of attacking Gaogouli and handed it over directly to Cao Xing. There was no other way.

, whoever leads Jiangdong's elite will not be interested in facing this group of combatants who are inferior to bandits and scum, and the battle will be over in one charge.

Zhou Yu and others had to sigh, no wonder Gongsun Du was able to easily attack Gaoguli in the north. It turned out that this guy's combat effectiveness was so bad. Needless to say, in the westward expedition to Wuhuan, given the terrain of Liaodong, the cavalry was basically useless.

Dealing with Wuhuan without cavalry was a little more difficult than dealing with Gaoguli.

Seeing that the three of them all gave the credit to himself, the newly surrendered general, Cao Xing was extremely moved. Since the attack, he had been so brave that he directly shot and killed the enemy's important generals several times on the battlefield.

Gaoguli Fang was so frightened that he called him the "Arrow God". He had no choice but to deal with this group of aliens who had low combat effectiveness and didn't even have much leather armor. Cao Xing was like a great demon king, shooting whoever he wanted.

die.

Although a few people looked down upon this credit, Cao Xing did it with high morale. This simple model can still get a lot of credit. Cao Xing just wanted to say, as much as you want, anyone who comes will not be rejected.
