    Liu Bei raised troops to invade Liaodong, and Gongsun Kang asked for help?

    Yan Liang's expression moved slightly, as if he saw some opportunity from this unexpected news.

    "Send the envoy to come in." Yan Liang waved his hand and shouted.

    When Zhou Cang stepped outside the palace, Yan Liang turned his eyes to Pang Tong and asked, "Military advisor, what do you think of this news?"

    "The previous time Liu Bei retreated, he found that he had fallen into our trap, but he should also realize that Gongsun Kang's separatist rule in Liaodong was always a hidden danger for him. Only by getting rid of this hidden danger could Liu Bei let go south, so this time  Liu Bei plans to invade Liaodong, and I think it is very possible. "

    Pang Tongyi talked and easily saw through Liu Bei's thoughts.

    Yan Liang nodded slightly: "Liu Bei destroying Gongsun Kang will not do us any good. It seems that I can't just sit back and ignore it."

    As soon as he finished speaking, Tian Feng said at the foot of the steps: "Your Majesty, Gongsun Kang has repeatedly been dishonest. This time he was in a critical situation, so he thought of asking us for help. If the crisis is resolved in the future, he will sit on the wall and wait and see again. In this way, Gongsun Kang will  It might be a drag on us.¡±

    Tian Feng was born in Hebei and had the most say on Gongsun Kang's character. His words also attracted the approval of many advisers present.

    At this time, Jia Fan, the envoy from Liaodong, had arrived outside the palace. Yan Liang asked the ministers to suspend their discussion and ordered Jia Fan to be brought in.

    After a while, an anxious civil servant walked into the hall cautiously.

    "Jia Fan, the lower official, pays homage to His Highness the King of Chu." Jia Fan stepped forward humbly and spoke very respectfully.

    Yan Liang put on a cold face, waved his hand and said: "Jia Fan. You have come all the way from Liaodong to see me. Why do you know why?"

    "To report to your Majesty, Lord Fan, the Marquis of Liaodong, admires your Majesty for his majesty in all directions. I have specially ordered my subordinates to come from thousands of miles away to show your willingness to submit to your Majesty." Jia Fan did not directly ask for help, but claimed that Sun Gongkang wanted to submit to him.  Yan Liang.

    Yan Liang glanced at Pang Tong, who had a sneer on his lips and shook his head slightly.

    There was also a hint of sarcasm on Yan Liang's face.

    At the moment, he remained calm.  Pretending to be happy, he said: "Gongsun Bojian is indeed a man who knows the current affairs. He can take the initiative to submit. I am very relieved."

    Overjoyed.  Yan Liang immediately ordered that in the name of the King of Chu, he named Gongsun Kang a general of chariots and cavalry and ordered him to take a holiday.  Continue to command the counties in Liaodong.

    Jia Fan was also greatly surprised.  He immediately bowed to Yan Liang again and again and thanked Yan Liang for Gongsun Kang's kindness.

    After several times of gratitude, Jia Fan showed a bitter look on his face and said: "I am reporting to your Majesty that General Gongsun has surrendered to your Majesty. He originally wanted to defend Liaodong for your Majesty. Once the time is right, he will cooperate with your Majesty to send troops to attack the traitor Liu Bei. But now  General Gongsun has received information that Liu Bei is gathering troops and horses in the Youzhou area. It is clear that he is planning to invade Liaodong. General Gongsun is afraid that he will not be able to support him alone, so he wants to ask the king for help. "

    Sure enough.

    Yan Liang¡¯s head was crossed, and a sneer flashed across her face.

    At the beginning, Yan Liang sent Yi Ji to take the initiative to send an envoy to befriend Gongsun Kang, but he politely refused. Now, how could he suddenly ask to surrender for no reason?

    The reason is very simple. Gongsun Kang is in big trouble now. In order to avoid being destroyed by Liu Bei, he has no choice but to shamelessly surrender to Yan Liang in exchange for Yan Liang's military assistance to him.

    This Gongsun Kang is indeed a cunning man.

    " He was sarcastic in his heart, but on the surface, Yan Liang remained calm, only showing a look of embarrassment.

    "Since Gongsun Bojian has surrendered to this king, Liaodong is also my king's land. Liaodong is in danger now, and I cannot just sit idly by and ignore it. It's just that Liaodong is far away from me. I don't know how I can help each other?"  Yan Liang looked troubled.

    Jia Fan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty has hundreds of thousands of troops. He only needs to select a few fierce generals to attack Qingzhou or Yanzhou. Then Liu Bei is worried about the danger in the south, so he has to withdraw his troops and return south. By then, the danger in Liaodong will be  Naturally understandable.¡±

    Jia Fan¡¯s strategy is not bad. On the surface, it seems that this is indeed the best way for Yan Liang to solve the crisis in Liaodong.

    Yan Liang fell into deep thought, seeming to be weighing the feasibility of this plan.

    At the bottom of the steps, Pang Tong remained silent, but Tian Feng shook his head at Yan Liang, hinting that Yan Liang should agree to Jia Fan's request.

    Jia Fan held his breath, anxiously waiting for Yan Liang to make a decision.

    After a while, Yan Liang raised his eyebrows and suddenly raised his head, with a strange determination in his eyes.

    "Liaodong is in danger, how can I not save you, but your strategy is too conservative, I will either""Send troops, and if you send troops, you will make a shocking move."  "Yan Liang said with murderous intent.

    Everyone below the steps looked shocked.

    Jia Fan cupped his hands and said, "I don't know how the king plans to send troops?"

    Yan Liang raised his hand and pointed to the north, and said boldly: "I will send troops from Xuzhou, take the sea route to Bohai Bay, attack the east coast of Youzhou, copy Liu Bei's army's retreat, and then I and your Liaodong Army will attack from the east and west.  Not only can it solve the crisis in Liaodong, but it can also defeat the Yan army."

    The words of Haoqi Gantian revealed Yan Liang¡¯s strategic intention.

    At the bottom of the stairs, all the important officials of the Chu State, including Pang Tong, were shocked.

    Jia Fan was even more stunned. His fixed thinking made him unable to turn around for a while, and he couldn't understand how Yan Liang could attack Youzhou from afar.

    After being stunned for a long time, Jia Fan finally came back to his senses and understood Yan Liang's "whimsical" astonishing tactics.

    "To attack Youzhou by sea from Xuzhouthis is unprecedented." Jia Fan exclaimed in a trembling voice, with a look of disbelief on his face.

    Yan Liang sneered and said proudly: "I like to do things that no one has done before. You don't have to be surprised. Back then, I sent troops from Yingtian and attacked Xiapi by sea. My ships traveled across the ocean.  , absolutely no problem.¡±

    Reminded by these confident words, Jia Fan suddenly remembered what he had heard before. Jia Fan thought about it carefully and realized that when Na Yi was lent as an envoy to Liaodong, the ship he was traveling on was indeed different from ordinary ships.  Perhaps it is precisely because of this special warship that Chu's warships do not have to worry about being capsized by sea waves.

    After thinking through this section, Jia Fan felt doubtful.  Immediately it was greatly reduced, and soon became exciting.

    "I didn't expect that your Majesty would be so brave. If this plan can work, then Liu Bei will suffer heavy losses. He will never dare to attack Liaodong again." Jia Fan said excitedly.

    It seems that Jia Fan has believed Yan Liang¡¯s tactics.

    Yan Liang laughed and said happily: "The strategy has been decided. You should send people back quickly to tell the king what he wants. As long as Gongsun Bojian can deny the Yan army to Liaodong. After a few months of delay, I can land in Youyou."  If the state buys enough time, Liu Bei will be defeated by our joint efforts. "

    Jia Fan was very happy.  I thanked Yan Liang several times and shed tears of gratitude.

    At that moment, Yan Liang comforted him again and asked Jia Fan to be sent to the hotel to rest and treat him as a distinguished guest.

    "Your Majesty, I thought it was inappropriate for your Majesty to attack Youzhou by sea to relieve the crisis in Liaodong." Just as Jia Fan left the palace, Tian Feng stepped forward to object.

    Yan Liang was not surprised by Tian Feng's loyal advice, but he did not respond first. He just dismissed all the ministers, leaving only a few close and confidential ministers.

    Under the main hall, most of the officials quickly dispersed.

    At this time.  Yan Liangcai smiled lightly and said, "Yuan Hao might as well tell you what's wrong with this king's plan."

    "Firstly, Gongsun Kang has been repeatedly dishonest and is not worthy of our great Chu's expedition. Secondly, attacking Youzhou from Xuzhou by sea is quite risky. Moreover, after Fanjian attacked Pi, Liu Bei must have been prepared. Even if  Our army can successfully reach Bohai Bay by sea. If Liu Bei sets up some defenses along the coast, our army will return without success and waste money and food."

    Tian Feng made some generous words, and many of the important ministers present nodded in agreement.

    Even though top advisers such as Jia Xu and Xu You did not express their objections, their intentions seemed to implicitly support Tian Feng's suggestions.

    "Do you think that this king really intends to save that boy Gongsun Kang?" Yan Liang snorted coldly and said disdainfully.

    In past history, Gongsun Kang's son Gongsun Yuan once falsely surrendered to Sun Quan and induced Sun Quan to send an envoy to Liaodong. However, he killed Sun Quan's envoy and seized his property, troops and horses.

    The Gongsun family has the gene of being repetitive and untrustworthy. The son is like this, and the same goes for Sun Gongkang. Yan Liang is not as stupid as Sun Quan. He stands up for Gongsun Kang in vain and becomes the culprit.

    When Tian Feng heard this, he was a little confused and wondered: "Since the king doesn't want to save Gongsun Kang, why did he just promise Jia Fan to send troops to attack Youzhou at sea? Is it just perfunctory?"

    "The strategy of sending troops at sea is true, but the place I want to attack is not Youzhou." Yan Liang's sharp face flashed with a bit of mystery. As he spoke, he got up and walked down the steps.

    Tian Feng and other important officials were all confused and did not understand what Yan Liang meant. If he did not attack Youzhou, why did he send troops to sea?

    Under the blank gaze of everyone, Yan Liang walked down the hall and walked to the large map hanging on the side wall.

    "The attack on Youzhou and the rescue of Gongsun Kang are just excuses. I want to use this banner toGo and capture this place.  "Yan Liang raised his ape arm and pointed his finger heavily towards the upper right corner of the map.

    Everyone looked around and saw that the place Yan Liang pointed to was exactly where Liaodong was.

    Capture Liaodong!

    In the minds of Tian Feng and other ministers, these four words flashed like lightning in an instant, and all the faces were filled with shocked faces.

    Only Pang Tong only stroked his beard and smiled slightly, as if he had expected the amazing strategy Yan Liang said.

    It¡¯s no wonder that among the ministers, Yan Liangwei and Pang Tong discussed the matter of conquering Liaodong alone, and only Pang Tong understood Yan Liang¡¯s thoughts.

    "Your Majesty wants to send troops from the sea to capture Liaodong?" Tian Feng asked in shock, his voice trembling.

    Yan Liang walked back to the palace, raised his head and said: "That's it. I have long thought that if you want to destroy Cao and Liu, you can't do it without strong cavalry. I can only conquer Liaodong and seize the horse-producing land.  A powerful cavalry force then attacked from the north and south and wiped out Liu Bei in one fell swoop."

    The time was almost ripe, and Yan Liang finally publicly communicated his strategy, which he had been brewing for more than half a year.

    There was an uproar in the main hall, and everyone looked in disbelief.

    "Although it is possible to seize the horse-producing land by capturing Liaodong, the king's strategy of sending troops from the sea and crossing the sea to Liaodong is too risky." Tian Feng sighed and advised.

    Yan Liang sneered and said boldly: "Since I started the army, if I didn't have the spirit of taking risks, how could I have built the foundation we have today? The greater the risk, the greater the gain. I have taken this risk."  !¡± (To be continued. Mobile phone users please go and read.)
