Liu Ke has decided not to care about Gongsun Zan.
Starting to focus on Liaodong, after settling the matter here, we will return to Yangzhou immediately.
Since Gongsun Du was defeated, he became a lot more honest and hid in Xuantu County.
Liu Ke took the opportunity to empty Xiangping's treasury.
Although Gongsun Du was heartbroken, he was powerless and could only watch his wealth fall into Liu Ke's hands.
Suddenly, Liu Ke received news that Yang Yi, Gongsun Du¡¯s envoy, was visiting.
"Congratulations, my lord, Gongsun Du has surrendered." Xun You said.
"It's not too early to be happy, changes may happen at any time." Liu Kedao.
Later, Liu Ke met with Yang Yi.
"Greetings to the Marquis of Dongyang!" Yang Yi saluted tremblingly. In his opinion, he was taking great risks to send an envoy.
After all, the last messenger is still hanging on the bow of the ship, becoming a mummy.
How could Yang Yi not be afraid?
"What does Gongsun Du have to say?" Liu Kedao said.
A very ordinary sentence, but Yang Yi was startled, and it took a while to calm down.
"My lord has been defeated and is willing to acknowledge Dongyang Hou's proposition. In the territory of the Han Dynasty, the people are common people and war is war. I also ask Dongyang Hou to raise his noble hand and let us Liaodong go."
"It was this price when I sent the envoy. Now that I'm sending an army, is it still the same price?" Liu Kedao said.
Yang Yi internally slandered: Xiangping has been evacuated, and the countless wealth inside cannot satisfy the appetite of Dongyang Hou?
Of course, he would never dare to say such words unless he no longer wanted to live.
"What other conditions does Marquis Dongyang have? As long as we in Liaodong can get it, we will not be stingy." Yang Yi said.
We have already been defeated and lost our hometown, so the issue of face is nothing.
Although Gongsun Du still has the strength to fight, does Goguryeo not have to worry about it?
In Gongsun Du¡¯s view, Liu Ke was a powerful enemy, but Goguryeo was a lifelong enemy.
"How do I know what you have? You have to ask yourself, what can you come up with that would make me excited." Liu Kedao.
It¡¯s simply a rogue way!
But before Yang Yi went on an envoy, Gongsun Du did give him the greatest autonomy.
"Marquis of Dongyang, my lord guarded the north of the Han Dynasty and defended the Han Dynasty against Wuhuan and Goguryeo. There is no merit but hard work. Moreover, my lord has never touched the land of the Central Plains" Yang Yi said a lot of good things for Gongsun Du.
Liu Ke is not ignorant. Gongsun Du did do some good things to some extent.
"In a word, how do you plan to compensate?"
Yang Yi gritted her teeth and said: "My Lord is willing to give up Liaoxi and Liaodong counties!"
What a big deal!
In this way, Gongsun Du lost half of his territory, which was a huge blow to him.
However, Liaoxi and Liaodong counties are close to Youzhou. If Liu Ke really takes it, he will have to deploy defenses.
For Yangzhou, it is a burden.
Gongsun Du probably expected this and therefore pretended to be generous.
Seeing Liu Ke¡¯s hesitation, Yang Yi continued:
"If the Marquis of Dongyang is not willing, it would be fine to switch to the two counties of Lelang and Daifang."
Lelang and Daifang counties are on the Korean Peninsula.
This piece of land is quite attractive to Liu Ke.
If Lelang County is built into a bridgehead, Liu Ke can expand the territory of the Han Dynasty.
The southernmost part of the Han Dynasty, Jiaozhi, was already Liu Ke¡¯s territory, and the northernmost part was Goguryeo.
Liu Ke¡¯s enemies should not be limited to the princes of the Central Plains.
Liu Ke was already moved, but he did not allow deception and asked:
"Has something changed in Lelang County?"
Yang Yi looked surprised. She didn¡¯t expect that her little thoughts were seen through.
Facing Liu Ke, Yang Yi did not dare to lie and said: "Goguryeo has discovered the changes in Liaodong and sent troops into Lelang County. If we cannot make a strong counterattack, Goguryeo will definitely invade in a large scale."
In other words, Goguryeo began to test the depth of Gongsundu.
No wonder Gongsun Du was so anxious.
Yang Yi¡¯s mission this time also had another purpose, which was to use Liu Ke¡¯s power to deal with Goguryeo.
If Liu Ke chooses LiaoxiIn the two counties of Liaodong, Yang Yihui made a request for Liu Ke to help clean up Goguryeo.
Now that Liu Ke is attracted to Lelang County, this result couldn't be better.
From Yang Yi¡¯s point of view, it is impossible for Liu Ke to stay for a long time. The situation in Lelang County is very complicated, and there are many forces around it. Maybe after falling into the quagmire, Gongsun Du can take back Lelang County as long as he pays some price.
Daifang County is just a small county with no strategic position, so it¡¯s okay not to mention it.
"My lord has already admitted defeat!" Yang Yi reminded again, not wanting Liu Ke to push too hard.
Liu Ke has a clear understanding of Gongsun Du's borrowed knife to kill people.
"But if the target is Goguryeo, Liu doesn't mind being used once.
Goguryeo is a foreign enemy.
"Is Gongsundu really willing to cede two of the five counties in Liaodong?" Liu Kedao said.
"My Lord is willing!" Yang Yi said.
"Then I won't talk nonsense, I want Lelang County and Daifang County." Liu Kedao.
Yang Yi cupped her hands and said: "My lord hopes to form an alliance with the Marquis of Dongyang to deal with Goguryeo together."
"I should take this matter as well." Liu Kedao.
After agreeing on the time, Yang Yi went back to report to Gongsun Du.
Gongsun Du came to Xiangping in person to meet with Liu Ke and finalize the alliance.
"Marquis Dongyang, I was blind to Mount Tai before, so please bear with me!"
As soon as Gongsun Du came, he straightened his posture. He also declared in public that from now on he would only be the Marquis of Liaodong and no longer the King of Liaodong.
Gongsun Du has learned the lesson after being taught a lesson by Liu Ke.
"Liaodong Marquis, there is no need to be too polite. Lelang County will still need your support from now on." Liu Kedao.
When it comes to the future, Gongsun Du finally has some confidence. He has been running Liaodong for so many years and knows it well.
"The Marquis of Dongyang is joking, we rely on you." Gongsun Du said.
The two parties negotiated for a while, signed an alliance, and Liu Ke withdrew his troops from Liaodong.
Gongsun Du has a new understanding of Liu Ke's character. Once Liu Ke recognizes someone, he will believe him.
Of course, Liu Ke was not worried about Gongsundu defaulting on his debt.
The battle with Gongsun Du is finally over, and Liu Ke's ideas can finally be implemented in the Han Dynasty.
Yangzhou publicized this matter vigorously, and Liu Ke's prestige rose to a higher level.
All the princes in the world are acting according to the rules set by Liu Ke!
Liu Ke accomplished an unprecedented feat, and the people praised him.
Especially the people of Yangzhou erected monuments in various places to record this incident.
Mi Heng wrote an ode to Liu Ke, which was promoted by Sima Hui and Cai Yong. As a result, various eulogies emerged one after another.
There are even more exaggerated rumors that Liu Ke has accomplished what even the emperors have failed to accomplish.
So, the news that Gongsun Zan was besieged in Beiping did not cause too much trouble. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
