Rangers of the Three Kingdoms - C396
“Father, we are both officials of the Liaodong, and you are also an official of the Liaodong. This was neither appointed by Yang Lin nor awarded by the Emperor, it was chosen by the Surveillance History Conference. Thus, other than the Surveillance History Conference, no one can take away our authority. Now that Zhang Fei is back, we should gather the servants and contact the old tribe. We should think of a way to open the city gate and welcome Zhang Fei into the city, so that we can kick Gongsun Du out of the Liaodong. ”
Although Yang Ping’s two sons, Yang Lin and Yang Li, were only civil servants, they were also courageous and knowledgeable people. Yang Lin believed that his father did not want the Liaodong to be controlled by Gongsun Du’s servants and clansmen, so he spoke passionately.
“Master Father, Gongsun Du is just a chess piece for Dong Zhuo, it was meant to disrupt the hussar general and suppress Dong Zhuo. Now, all of the State County in the world were trying to suppress Dong Zhuo, thinking that Dong Zhuo would definitely lose, and Gongsun Du would also find it hard to live for long. With the strength of the cavalry of Youzhou, it only took an instant to eliminate Gongsun Du. If we can help Zhang Fei, not only will we be able to prevent the lives of the citizens of Liaodong from being annihilated, we will also be able to make a great contribution to pacify the entire Liaodong.
Yang Ping’s youngest son, Yang Li, saw this more and saw it from a distance. Now that the State County had started fighting, the world was in chaos. Gongsun Du overestimated his own abilities. Using an egg to hit a rock was only suicidal, and also gave them a chance to earn merits.
“Since the two of you have this kind of thought, it’s not in vain for me to teach you. Hussar General Yang Lin ordered us to manage the Liaodong at the Surveillance History Conference. It is the beginning of history, and also the time to test our abilities. If we can’t take back the Liaodong, because we are incompetent, we can’t blame anyone else. So you two brothers immediately split up and go gather your servants and the old tribe. It’s a good thing that Gongsun Du was also in the city to recruit more young and strong warriors, so no one doubted your actions. I immediately sent people to sneak out of the city to find Zhang Fei, and we’ll act in the middle of the night to catch him off guard. ”
Yang Ping was very satisfied with his two sons and happily nodded. What he needed to do now, was not to curry favor with or for Zhang Fei, but for themselves. If they succeeded in welcoming Zhang Fei into the city, their Yang Family would leave a noble impression in the hearts of the citizens of Liaodong.
This was the power of democracy! When all men fight against an enemy who has deprived them of their power in order to defend their power, the power is immense. This was the people’s war. Every person would take up a weapon to protect their own power, and they could defeat any strong enemy.
Gongsun Du inspected the defense of the city wall. Seeing that Zhang Fei was not surrounding the city and was only gathering troops from the west gate, he could not help but feel at ease. From the looks of it, Zhang Fei was not a brute. He knew that the cavalry could not attack the city, and only wanted to scare him.
After the sky had darkened, Gongsun Du returned to the taiwai Palace. However, before he could eat his dinner, a servant ran over and handed him a letter. “We just caught a spy trying to sneak out of the city. He is a servant of the Yang Ping family. We found this secret letter on his body.”
Gongsun Du opened the secret letter and took a quick glance at it, his expression suddenly turned extremely ugly. With a “pa” sound, he threw the letter on the table and shouted sternly: “Damned Yang Ping, you must be tired of living, you actually dared to contact Zhang Fei privately, and want me to die.”
Liu Yi, who was by his side, immediately picked up the honey letter from the table and read through it carefully. However, a smile appeared on his face: “Lord Taishang, this might be a good thing. If the Lord Taishang wishes to establish a foothold in the Liaodong, not only to deal with Yang Lin’s cavalry, but also to deal with these Chieftain, why not take this opportunity to eradicate the Yang Family in one go? ”
Just like the Gongsun Family, the Yang family was also a large clan of the Liaodong, it was just that the Gongsun Family was everywhere, while the Yang family was limited to the Liaodong. If he could use this opportunity to get rid of the Yang family, it would be enough to intimidate the other big families in Liaodong.
“Li Min, immediately lead three hundred men to surround Yang Ping’s residence and kill Yang Ping’s entire family. Don’t let a single person escape!” Gongsun Du waved his hands in anger and said fiercely: “I want to let the people of Liaodong know, if anyone dares to oppose me, I will annihilate their whole family.”
Yang Ping’s two sons both brought their servants out. The courtyard suddenly became deserted as Yang Ping sat inside the house, waiting for their news. He believed that before long, Zhang Fei’s army would enter the city and the Liaodong would return to the Surveillance History.
“Old master, old master, it’s bad, our compound is surrounded.” Just as Yang Ping was meditating, his servant suddenly ran in, and anxiously muttered: “Master, run, Gongsun Du’s servant is already knocking on the door.”
“What are you panicking for? What does Gongsun Du dare to do to me? ” Yang Ping stood up, forcefully calming himself and reprimanding his flustered servants. But he immediately understood in his heart that the servant he sent the message to must have been captured by Gongsun Du. In the end, Zhang Fei’s army did not come, but Gongsun Du’s servants came and surrounded his mansion.
“Gongsun Du came for me, so he won’t bother you guys anymore. You guys escape immediately, quickly find the two gongzis, and have them inform all the Surveillance History s in the city that Gongsun Du is going to make a move on them, make them run quickly. ”
Yang Ping waved his hand and chased his servants out. Then, he sat back down. He knew that he was Gongsun Du’s target, and that he wouldn’t be able to escape no matter what. However, even if he dies, he would have to bite Gongsun Du fiercely.
Very quickly, Gongsun Du’s servants rushed in, and when they reached the Yang family’s main hall, they saw the Yang family’s patriarch sitting in the middle of the hall, with a face that seemed to reveal ridicule. It was unknown if he was laughing at his own mistake, or mocking Gongsun Du’s doomsday.
Li Min walked up. He originally wanted to greet Yang Ping, but he saw that Yang Ping’s eyes did not move at all. He stretched out his hand and probed under Yang Ping’s nose. He could not help but suck in a breath of cold air. It turned out that Yang Ping had long since died.
Yang Lin knew that Gongsun Du had already made his move and knew that the matter had been exposed, so he immediately said to his brother Yang Li: “I will bring my men to attack the city wall immediately, bring your men to attack the taiwai Palace immediately. As we walked, they were shouting loudly, and said that Gongsun Du wanted to kill the Surveillance History in the city, and set a fire along the way. When the Zhang Fei army outside the city saw it, they must have known that there was a change inside the city and would definitely attack immediately. ”
“Alright, there are a lot of servants on the city wall with Gongsun Du, you must be extra careful!” Yang Li promised, but he didn’t forget to remind his brother. He turned around and shouted at his servants: “All of you follow me, we will go kill that bastard Gongsun Du.”
Yang Li brought over a hundred servants with him and rushed to taiwai Palace. As he walked, he shouted and immediately attracted the attention of the Xiang Ping commoners. Surveillance History had already been in charge of the meeting for more than five years, and the majority of the citizens had never been satisfied with this Gongsun Du Family style of sole ruler of the Liaodong. Along the way, many citizens brought their weapons and consciously joined Yang Li’s team.
By the time Yang Li rushed to the taiwai Palace, the group had already expanded to over three thousand people, and just happened to bump into Li Min and his three hundred over servants who had returned from the Yang Ping family. Yang Li shouted, and over three thousand people rushed over, surrounding Gongsun Du’s servants and began to kill.
Gongsun Du’s servants were no match for the rioting commoners, they immediately turned and ran. Fortunately, Li Min still had some battle experience, and quickly led the servants back to the taiwai Palace, preparing to gather with the servants in the taiwai Palace, then fight against the rioting citizens.
“Fire the taiwai’s Palace!”
It was only then that Yang Li remembered that his brother had told him to set a fire along the way. He could not bear to set fire to the houses of the common people, but now he had set fire to the taiwai Mansion. When they heard that someone was commanding them to set fire to the city, they immediately looked for items to ignite the fire, ignited the fire, and threw it into the taiwai Palace.
There were a lot of Chieftain s living in the Xiangping City, they were all Surveillance History s. When Gongsun Du took over the taiwai Palace, they remained silent due to the great power the Gongsun Family had forced upon them. When Zhang Fei arrived, they began to wait again. Now that they heard that Gongsun Du was going to attack the Surveillance History and that someone was taking the lead to attack the taiwai Manor, they gathered their family and clansmen and rushed over.
Gongsun Du realized that he had just poked a hornet’s nest, but he did not panic at all. He ordered the servants to occupy the walls of the courtyard to defend themselves, and at the same time sent people to gather the servants, ordering them to rush back to taiwai Palace to pacify the chaos in the city.
“Charge into the taiwai’s Palace, whoever snatches it will get it!” Seeing that there were more and more people, and that they were about to surround taiwai Palace, Yang Li raised his blade and pointed it at taiwai Palace, and shouted loudly. Whoever killed Gongsun Du would be rewarded with 10,000 gold! “Fellow villagers, come and kill with me …”
It was unknown if it was for the sake of Yang Li’s reward or to snatch the treasures from the taiwai Palace, but the commoners that had surrounded the taiwai Palace all rushed crazily into the palace. Even though Gongsun Du had set up more than three hundred servants in the taiwai Palace, they were all too weak to withstand the attack of several thousand mob s.
In less than an hour, the taiwai Mansion was already occupied by the mob. Gongsun Du and his trusted aides, Liu Yi, had all been killed. For the reward of ten thousand gold coins, the mob s slowly stole Gongsun Du’s corpse, and chopped him into countless of pieces. Even his head was chopped into a few pieces, and in the end, no one could confirm which piece of meat was Gongsun Du’s.
The pitiful Gongsun Du returned home full of confidence. Originally, he didn’t have to rely on the power of the Gongsun Family to firmly control it. He did not expect that the current Liaodong was no longer the Liaodong that he could understand.
From the moment he left the Luoyang, he was already destined to be a pawn in the game. Dong Zhuo only wanted him to find some trouble for Yang Lin, but unexpectedly, she sent him to a dead end. However, the one who killed him was not the cavalry of Youzhou, but the people of Liaodong who already had a sense of democracy in them.
Zhong Yao volunteered to go to Qingzhou and arrived there in a dozen days. He thought that he could easily convince Kong Rong, but who knew that Kong Rong would be so stubborn.
Just then, the Qingzhou took advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains to rebel and attack the whole prefecture under the banner of the xanthopanax. Even though Kong Rong started his military training after arriving at North Sea, he was indeed not someone who was prepared for war. In the end, his army was defeated and he had no choice but to flee to Zhu Xu County.
In order to pacify Zhang Rao’s rebellion, he had no choice but to save Zhong Yao, as he was backed by the Hussar General Yang Lin. Although Kong Rong was pedantic, he knew that in this chaotic world, power was the most important thing. And in the current world, the strongest was Yang Lin.
