    "Ha" Wang Xiong laughed after hearing Gongsun Kang's words, "Gongsun Kang, you are rebellious and want to use the troops of a county to conquer a state. You really overestimate your capabilities. I advise you to surrender as soon as possible. My family  For the sake of your father and grandson, my lord, I can leave you a corpse, otherwise I will let you die without a burial place!"

    "Rebellion? Who is rebellious? Ha" Gongsun Kang also burst into laughter, "I inherited my father's business and guarded Liaodong for the emperor, but Cao Cao went to court with a sword, intimidated your majesty, killed loyal people, killed the queen, and stood on his own.  For the King of Wei, he is the greatest traitor!"

    "You are so bold" Gongsun Kang's words made Wang Xiong furious, but Wang Xiong wanted to refute, but couldn't find the right words for a while.

    Xu Shu did not say a word, because what Gongsun Kang said was true.  He considered himself a Han official, not a subordinate of Cao Cao.  Cao Cao killed Empress Fu, Concubine Dong Guifei and his uncle Dong Cheng because of the imperial edict, which is understandable.  But claiming the gun is king would be treason.  For more than 400 years in the Han Dynasty, apart from the kings with different surnames during the period of Emperor Gaozu, there has been an ancestral motto since then that kings with foreign surnames are not allowed.  When Cao Cao became prime minister and Duke of Wei, he already had all the power in the world, but he was still the king.  So is being king enough?  Obviously not, he will eventually follow Yuan Shu and become emperor.  Of course, if Liu Cong, the King of Han, had not been born, he would have proclaimed himself emperor by now.

    "Master Governor, there is no need to have a verbal dispute with Gongsun Kang!" Qianzhao knew in his heart that among the princes today, who would take your majesty seriously?  Didn¡¯t Sun Quan also become king?  Anyone can be king as long as they have the strength.  But those who have ambition without strength will only die.

    "Wang Xiong, you rat, how dare you go out of the city to fight!" Gongsun Kang became even more proud when he saw Wang Xiong was silent, so he said loudly.

    "Fight!"

    "Fight!"

    "Fight!"

    The five thousand soldiers and horses behind Gongsun Kang, under the command of two generals, Liang Mao and Han Zhong, shouted in unison.

    Looking at this high momentum, Gongsun Kang was very satisfied.

    "You are a barbarian, how can I, the general of the Celestial Empire, compete with you for the courage of this man!" After thinking for a long time, Wang Xiong finally choked out a sentence.

    But this sentence made Gongsun Kang scolded to the bone.

    Gongsun Kang and his father Gongsun Du lived in Liaodong in their early years. In Liaodong, there were Xianbei, Wuwan, Goguryeo, Samhan, Baekje, and Japanese people. It was very complicated. Wang Xiong called them barbarians.  It also makes sense.

    You must know that during this period, the Han people were orthodox!

    "My son Wang Xiong, I will cut you into pieces!" Gongsun Kang was immediately angered, "Come here, help me attack the city!"

    "Lord, we didn't bring any siege equipment!" Liang Mao heard this and hurriedly advised, "We'd better attack the city tomorrow!"

    "Yes, it won't be too late to attack the city tomorrow. This is Wang Xiong's childish plan!" Han Zhong also said hurriedly.

    They came out this time intending to fight the generals, but were not prepared to attack the city.  Moreover, the Wei army was heavily defended on top of the city. Attacking the city now would be useless but would result in death.

    "My dear Wang Xiong, let me live one more day!" Gongsun Kang also understood.

    "Gongsun Kang, the traitor, I am waiting for you at the top of the city. I have prepared the cage to hold your heads, ha"

    "Withdraw!"

    Gongsun Kang led five thousand troops and horses withdrew to the military camp.

    The next day, Gongsun Kang sent General Han Zhong to lead 5,000 soldiers and horses, carrying ladders, pushing arrow towers and more than a dozen thunderbolt chariots, to attack Yuyang City on a large scale.

    But how could the three commanders of the Wei army guarding the city, Wang Xiong, Qian Zhao and Xu Shu, be mediocre people?  And they had already made preparations to give the Liaodong soldiers a blow in the head.

    After attacking for two hours, more than 3,000 soldiers and horses were lost, but they could not even climb to the top of the city. In desperation, Han Zhong had to withdraw his troops.

    Gongsun Kang was furious. If other generals hadn't interceded, Han Zhong might have had his head hung high.

    The next day, he sent Liang Mao to lead five thousand troops to attack the city.

    Liang Mao¡¯s result was the same as Han Zhong¡¯s, except for damaging soldiers and destroying generals, there was no effect.  Liang Mao was Gongsun Kang's trusted general, and he was both wise and brave.  This result made Gongsun Kang realize that Yuyang was not the two counties of Xuantu and Lelang, and it might be difficult to break through in a hurry.  Finally, veteran Liu Yi suggested to confront them outside the city for the time being and think of another way to break the city.

    So, the two sides confronted each other.

    In Luoyang, in addition to calling on officials and the Luoyang and Yuzhou Corps to manage the Yellow River, Weishui River, and Jinghe River, Liu Cong was also always paying attention to the war in Youzhou.

    Nowadays, a three-legged situation has been formed, and one move can affect the whole body.  The war in Youzhou is not only about Cao CaoFuck, it has direct contact with himself and even Sun Quan of Jiangdong.

    After Gongsun Kang's army arrived in Yuyang, its momentum was quickly suppressed.  Judging from the current situation, Cao Cao will definitely not send more troops to Youzhou.  Although they had already analyzed that Cao Cao would not easily invade Yanzhou and Sun Quan would not easily send troops, Liu Cong still asked the Tianwang camp to find out the news to avoid accidents and catch him off guard.

    However, at this time, another piece of news came from Tianwang Camp that shocked Liu Cong.

    "Zhang Xiu has written letters to Jia Xu and Sima Yi?" Liu Cong asked Ma Zhong in the study room of the Han Palace with his eyes fixed on him.

    "Lord, from what Tianwang camp has learned, it is indeed the case!" Ma Zhong said respectfully, and took out three letters, "This is the letter we intercepted from Jia Xu and Sima Yi to Zhang Xiu. Among them  Jia Xu had two letters, and Sima Yi had one. The subordinates had also caught one of the people who sent the letters. He said it was a reply to General Zhang Xiu. Therefore, the subordinates concluded that there were letters between them, and there might be a conspiracy!  "

    Since Liu Cong now had more and more officials under his command, he gave Ma Zhong a secret supervisory title and asked him to pay attention to supervise all officials.  However, Ma Zhong did not have any right to deal with officials by himself, and only reported the situation he observed to Liu Cong alone.

    "The person who sent the message is still in jail!"

    "This Lord, this person suddenly wanted to escape, but his subordinates were negligent and were shot to death by random arrows from the soldiers of the Skynet Camp!"

    "Oh" Liu Cong nodded. It was normal to shoot a scout who was delivering a message, because he could not have too much information.  However, Liu Cong still felt a little strange, "When he said he was replying to the letter, did he say it himself, or did you force him to ask?"

    "It's I said it myself."

    "You said it yourself?" Liu Cong became even more confused. Since he told the truth without forcing him to ask, what reason was there for him to run away?  He had been caught by the Skynet Camp and there was no way he could escape, which meant that he was actively looking for death.

    Liu Cong slowly opened Sima Yi¡¯s letter to Zhang Xiu, browsed it quickly, and let out a burst of disdainful laughter!
