"Haha, this guy is really humorous. The Yangzhou Navy came from far away and they are tired. Our Liaodong Navy is just waiting for them. Moreover, they only have a few dozen warships. The rest are all transport ships. Our Liaodong Navy has more than a hundred warships and we have a famous general like An Yixuan as our commander. How can we lose?" Gongsun Kang laughed. He didn't believe the words of this guest.
The guest trembled and almost cried, "Eldest, Eldest Young Master, this is a matter of national affairs. Even if you give me ten times the courage, I wouldn't dare to do this!"
"Who is the commander-in-chief of the Yangzhou Navy?" He Ping asked.
"Yes, it is Gan Ning, Gan Xingba!" The guest told He Ping everything.
"Gan Ning, Gan Xingba?" He Ping's eyes immediately widened. He had heard of this Gan Ning before. This was because Gan Ning was one of the few who managed to win the battle of the Yangtze River. Even Cao Cao praised this Gan Ning. He would often say how good it would be if this Gan Ning was part of Cao Cao's army.
Because of his understanding of Gan Ning, He Ping couldn't bear to see this happen, "Senior Head of the Secretariat, is this true?"
Another messenger ran back, "Reporting, reporting to the young general, the old general is waiting for you in his mansion. He wants you to immediately go to Liaodong Prefecture to discuss the matter of An Yixuan's defeat!" “
Clang! Clang! " The wine bottle in Gongsun Kang's hand slipped on the ground. If Gongsun Kang still had a glimmer of hope, now he knew that the Liaodong Navy might have completely lost.
He Ping didn't say much. This was a matter of Liaodong. As an outsider, he couldn't intervene. Therefore, he took the lead and left. When he returned to his mansion, he quickly sent a letter to Cao Cao, who was still in Nanpi. He told him about the arrival of the Yangzhou Navy and the tragedy of the Sun family.
On the other side, Gongsun Kang also set off immediately, rushing from Liaoxi County to Liaodong County.
By the time he entered the city, the sky had already turned dark. However, Gongsun Kang still managed to see his father because Gongsun Du had been waiting for him in the mansion.
"Father! Gongsun Kang stepped forward and called for his father.
He didn't expect to receive a slap from Gongsun Du when he went up, and half of his face immediately turned red.
It seemed that Gong Sun Kang was extremely angry. Otherwise, he wouldn't treat Gong Sun Kang like this.
"Father, you!?" Gongsun Kang stared at his father, Gongsun Du, with wide eyes.
"I told you a long time ago that you can't be reckless. I told you to buy the things of the King Of Shu, Liu Mang, but you didn't listen. Now, something happened!" Gongsun Kang said angrily. Originally, Gongsun Kang planned to use the money he earned from the King Of Shu, Liu Mang, plus the money he contributed, to buy the weapons and armor in Yang Chen's hands. Gongsun Kang was prepared to take out one million gold, but all of this was finally settled by Gongsun Kang for one thousand gold. This was the reason why Yang Chen came with the Yangzhou Navy Warship this time.
"Father, can you blame me for this? Didn't you also acquiesce in the beginning? " Gongsun Kang was also angry. He was no longer the young master of Liaodong. At that time, he was afraid of his father, but now it was different. He was the head of the secretariat, which was higher than his father, the governor of Liaodong, General Wuwei.
Gongsun Du was also silent. At that time, Yang Chen also sent someone to ask Gongsun Du if this was Gongsun Du's idea. Gongsun Du closed the door and pretended to be sick. Yang Chen suddenly knew what it meant.
One million gold, this was not a small number, so Gongsun Du was also reluctant, so he acquiesced in his son's actions.
However, knowing that he was wrong was one thing, admitting it was another. So Gongsun Du was still angry. "Then why did I let you keep Yang Chen? Why did you let him go? Do you know who Yang Chen is? He is the son of Yang Hong, the trusted subordinate of the King Of Shu, Liu Mang. If we let him stay, will the Yangzhou Navy still treat us like this? " Gongsun Du looked at his son angrily.
At that time, Gongsun Kang got the armor worth a million gold from Yang Chen. He was so arrogant that he couldn't find the north. Why would he think of keeping Yang Chen? When Yang Chen got on the warship and left Liaodong, Gongsun Kang remembered.
"Now that my Liaodong Navy has been wiped out, what do you think we should do?" Gongsun Du looked at his son angrily.
"Father, why panic? Isn't it just those children in Yangzhou? We'll deal with whatever comes our way. They might be able to beat us on the sea, but that might not be the case on land. We have solid walls, and their ships won't be able to get ashore. They're just a few thousand soldiers, and they'll be nothing more than turtles in our jar! "Gong Sun Kang said to his father.
"Humph!" Gongsun Du looked at his eldest son. Previously, Gongsun Du was very satisfied with Gongsun Kang, but now he became more and more dissatisfied, because Gongsun Kang became more and more arrogant. Before, he also had such a tone, but in the end, the Liaodong Navy was completely wiped out.
"Come, let Mo Ran and Zhou Hai lead 30,000 troops to Liaodong Port!" Gongsun Kang said to his subordinates over there.
"Mo Ran and Zhou Hai?" Gongsun Du looked at his son. These 30,000 troops were really the elite troops of the Liaodong Army. This was also the capital of Gongsun Du. Among the 30,000 troops, thousands of people were wearing Yangzhou armor, and 5,000 were elite heavy cavalry. It was these 30,000 troops that allowed Gongsun Du to become the King of Liaodong, and also allowed Gongsun Zan and Yuan Yao to be afraid of Gongsun Du after occupying Youzhou.
But now, Gongsun Kang actually wanted to send these two troops. You should know that these two troops were now at the border between Youzhou and Liaodong, in order to guard against Cao Cao's army.
But now, they were dispatched by Gongsun Kang to Liaodong Port? Wasn't this exposing the defense line of Liaodong to Cao Cao's army? If Cao Cao had any thoughts at this moment, Cao Cao's army would definitely march straight in, and the Sun family would be finished in the end.
"No!" Gongsun Du refused without thinking. He still didn't trust Cao Cao, or rather, he still didn't like putting his life in the hands of others. If he had troops, he wouldn't panic. If he didn't have troops, he would be like a fish on the chopping block.
"Father, why are you so inflexible?" Gongsun Kang refuted his father's words, "Cao Cao, Prime Minister Cao has 300,000 troops. Even Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu are no match for him. Hebei is now unstoppable. Father, do you think your 30,000 troops can stop Prime Minister Cao? This world will belong to Prime Minister Cao sooner or later. If we don't surrender now, when will we surrender? "Gongsun Kang said to his father.
"Surrender? Surrender? You keep saying that you want to surrender. What will happen to the foundation of Liaodong after you surrender? What will happen to the Sun family after you surrender? "Gongsun Du roared at his son. He didn't know if his son was really stupid or just faking it. There were many mountains in Liaodong. If Cao Cao really trusted the Sun family, then he wouldn't have left 100,000 troops in Nanpi. If Cao Cao really treated the Sun family well, then he wouldn't have left Xiandeng Camp here. This clearly showed that he didn't trust the Sun family. Moreover, the Sun family was a feudal lord. In order to take over Liaodong, it was impossible for Cao Cao to leave the Sun family here. In the end, the Sun family only had two paths. One was to become a rich man, and the other was to accidentally die of illness. Cao Cao was now comforting Liaodong. First, his subordinates needed to rest. Second, he wasn't familiar with the terrain of Liaodong.
"A mere Liaodong is not worth mentioning!" Gongsun Kang's words expressed his disdain. "Father, you should broaden your horizons. I am now the head of the secretariat under Prime Minister Cao. I am already one of the nine ministers. When Gongsun Kang becomes one of the three ministers, that will be the time for our Gongsun family to soar. The Yuan family can do it, so can our Gongsun family!" Gongsun Kang said arrogantly.
"Head of the secretariat? Then what about the governor of Liaodong? "Gongsun Du asked with his eyes wide open.
"I have already given up the position of governor of Liaodong. Prime Minister Cao has other candidates!" Gongsun Kang said to Gongsun Du.
"You, you, you!" Gongsun Du was truly dumbfounded. He had seen deceptive people, but he had never seen such a deceptive person. Now, it was like two companies. Although the Sun family's company was small, its foundation couldn't be underestimated. Even if the Sun family's company wanted to annex the Sun family's company, it would suffer a lot. But now, the young master of the Sun family personally handed over his family's company to Cao Cao. Not only was it cheap, but he might even be able to pay back.
"Unfilial son, unfilial son! I will beat you to death, you unfilial son! " Gongsun Du was completely furious. It wasn't easy for him to build up his empire, but now it was going to be squandered by Gongsun Du.
"Father, father!" Gongsun Du directly picked up a chair on the side and smashed it. The chair fell on Gongsun Kang's body and suddenly broke into pieces, making Gongsun Kang gasp in pain. However, Gongsun Du still didn't give up and continued to beat his son.
Originally, Gongsun Kang still had a trace of fear because of Gongsun Du's prestige, but after being smashed, the pain immediately made Gongsun Kang angry. In addition, these days, he was confused by Cao Cao's bewitching potion, or it could be said that the prestige of his father in front of him had disappeared. Why should he, Gongsun Kang, be beaten by this old thing? He, Gongsun Kang, was the head of the secretariat, the Marquis of Xiangping, his official position was much higher than this old thing.
Thinking of this, Gongsun Kang suddenly fought back, but it wasn't really fighting back. He grabbed the leg of the chair that Gongsun Du used to whip him. She pushed him over with a fierce push.
"Plop!" Gongsun Du directly fell to the ground, the ground was full of scattered wooden fragments of the chair.
"Puchi!" Blood splattered everywhere.
"You, you, you!" Gongsun Du's eyes widened as he pointed at his eldest son. It seemed that he couldn't believe it. Soon, his arm drooped down and his eyes closed.
Blood flowed all over the ground.
"Father, father?" Gongsun Kang also panicked. He hurriedly stepped forward and wanted to help his father up. He checked his father's breath, but there was no sign of him breathing.
"Ah!" Gongsun Kang was so scared that he started to tremble. Father, father is dead! Gongsun Kang then saw that a piece of wood had pierced into his father's temple. When Gongsun Du pulled it out, blood spurted out once again, mixed with white brain matter.
"I, I, I didn't do it on purpose, father, I didn't do it on purpose, no! Wake up, wake up, wake up! " Gongsun Kang wanted to wake his father up, but it was too late.
"What's going on, what's going on!" Hearing the commotion inside, Gongsun Du's guards rushed in. They were dumbfounded by the scene before them. One was their young master, the future heir of Liaodong, and the other was their current master. However, one of them was lying motionless in a pool of blood. It seemed that he would die soon, and the other was standing aside in a panic.
The guard captain waved his hand, and a guard hurriedly stepped forward to observe Gongsun Du. Unfortunately, the King of Liaodong was already dead.
"Eldest son, this, this? Where did the bandits come from? How could the Lord be like this? " The guard captain on the side was indeed an old fox. There was only Gongsun Du and his son Gongsun Kang at the scene. Now that Gongsun Du was lying motionless in a pool of blood, it was obvious that the murderer was Gongsun Kang.
However, the guard captain didn't insist that the murderer was Gongsun Kang because he knew that Gongsun Du was dead, and his successor was Gongsun Kang. If he arrested Gongsun Kang, wouldn't he be arresting his next boss? Unless he wanted to rebel, he wouldn't do that. He immediately gave Gongsun Du a way out.
"Bandits? Bandits! "Gongsun Du's eyes suddenly lit up, and he kept nodding." Yes, yes, yes! There are bandits, bandits! " The crime of killing one's father couldn't stay on his head. Once it spread, he would be finished. Now, the Yuan family's brothers were like stray dogs. The Yuan family's disciples, who originally had hope for them, now avoided them like ghosts.
Filial piety was the most important virtue in the ancient people. Once Gongsun Kang was charged with the crime of killing one's father, he would be finished. Even Cao Cao didn't dare to promote Gongsun Kang.
"Guards, guards, what are you doing? How could you let the enemy in such a big mansion? What's the use of raising a bunch of trash like you? " All of a sudden, our Gongsun Kang got into character and shouted loudly. The elites on the side all looked at Gongsun Kang with cold cicadas.
The guard captain was also helping Gongsun Kang to put on an act. He walked to the back of one of Gongsun Kang's guards and pulled out his saber. Then, he said in a friendly voice, "Sorry, brother!" The sword directly stabbed into the body from the back, and then twisted twice. This time, the internal organs were about to be crushed, and there was no way he could survive.
The body fell down weakly, and the guard captain also knelt down. "This subordinate was careless and let a spy in. Please punish me, young master, no, my lord!" You changed your allegiance in such a short time.
"Good!" Gong Sunkang nodded with satisfaction. If he was still in a state of guilt and fear for accidentally killing his father before, then Gong Sunkang was now in a state of comfort with power in his hands.
"What's your name?" Gongsun Kang asked the guard captain's name.
"This subordinate is Wei Kang!" The guard captain said shamelessly.
"Good, good, good!" Gongsun Kang said, "Wei Kang, from today onwards, you are the leader of my personal guards, Lieutenant Yan Ping!" Gongsun Kang promised to the first henchman who threw himself into his arms.
"Lieutenant Yan Ping?!" Wei Kang's face was filled with joy. Although he used to work under Gongsun Du, Gongsun Du was very clear about rewards and punishments. It was impossible to reward someone without merit. Because of this, Wei Kang was only a Commandant. But now, he suddenly became a Commandant. How could he not be happy? Wei Kang had always been a Commandant, but now that he was promoted to Commandant, how could he not be happy?
"Thank you, my lord. This subordinate will not hesitate to go through water and tread on fire for you!" Wei Kang knelt in front of Gongsun Kang and kowtowed to him.
"Good!" Gongsun Kang nodded. "The news of my father's death cannot be spread out for the time being. If anyone dares to leak it, don't blame me for being merciless!" Gongsun Kang also knew that the news of Gongsun Du's death could not be spread out. Once it was spread out, the people of Liaodong would be in chaos. Moreover, Gongsun Kang had always been on the side of Cao Cao, so many officials of Liaodong were dissatisfied. Once the news of Gongsun Du's death spread out, Gongsun Kang would not have a good time.
"Good, Wei Kang, you go and pass down my order, let Mo Ran and Zhou Hai take their 30,000 troops to Liao Dong Harbor, stop the Yangzhou Navy, no mistakes!" Gongsun Kang ordered his first lackey.
"Yes!" Wei Kang obtained the official position of Yanping Commandant. The other personal guards were also promoted to Commandant one by one, except for the one who was killed as a scapegoat. Promotion and wealth were the same for everyone, so Gongsun Kang quickly bought the hearts of a group of people.
Zhou Hai and Mo Ran's army were heading towards Liaodong Harbor.
… …
Outside Liaodong Harbor, Gan Ning's navy was still cruising outside the harbor. The Liaodong Navy had been completely wiped out, and Liaodong Harbor was completely in a panic.
Yang Chen walked out of the cabin, his face was a little depressed.
"How is it, Yang Chen Daren, are those two willing to surrender?" Gan Ning looked at Yang Chen walking on the deck and asked. Dongfang Ming and An Yixuan were both talents. An Yixuan was the commander of the Navy. Even Gan Ning had to admit that he was very good. After all, he had dealt with the sea all his life. As for Dongfang Ming, Yang Chen also appreciated this person very much. He showed weakness to the enemy and dared to die together with the enemy. This was also for the sake of his family. He had no feelings for Gongsun Kang. If this person was accepted into Yangzhou, with His Royal Highness the King Of Shu's attention to talents, this Dongfang Ming would certainly repay it with his life.
Therefore, Yang Chen was trying his best to subdue the two. He didn't even want to attack Liaodong Harbor. Unfortunately, everything was in vain. Yang Chen's earnest words were nonsense in the eyes of Dongfang Ming and An Yixuan.
Therefore, Yang Chen went to the deck again. "These two people are not willing to speak at all!" Dongfang Ming could still say a few words, but An Yixuan did not speak.
"Humph, isn't it just two defeated generals? Just kill them, why bother!" Liang Chen did not care very much. You said that you lost, but you still didn't surrender. Then just kill them directly.
Yang Chen shook his head. "General Liang Chen, you should know that Yangzhou has built a total of eight Sovereign Class Warships. This is only three of them. There are still five that need to be controlled! Dongfang Ming and An Yixuan are both talents. Keeping them alive can bring out the greatest power of the Yangzhou Navy! " The five Sovereign Class Warships needed people who understood the sea. An Yixuan and Dongfang Ming were chosen by Yang Ceng.
"If we want these two people to be used by us, unless they become enemies with Liaodong!" Liang Chen said casually.
"Enemies?" Yang Chen suddenly had an idea.
Yes, now An Yixuan did not want to surrender. It was nothing more than having a brotherly relationship with Gongsun Kang. Dongfang Ming was afraid that his family would be implicated.
But once Gongsun Kang killed An Yixuan and Dongfang Ming's family, then Dongfang Ming and An Yixuan would completely become enemies with Gongsun Kang. At that time, they would inevitably be the vanguard to attack Liaodong.
However, there was also a disadvantage in doing this. That was, An Yixuan and Dongfang Ming might resent Yang Chen together.
Therefore, Yang Chen's brows were tightly knitted.
"Oh, Yang Chen Daren, why are you distressed? On that day, Liang Chen, this boy, did not solve all the Liaodong Navy!" Although the battle report of Liaodong wrote that the Liaodong Navy was completely annihilated, if no one went back to report, no one went back alive. How could they know about the naval battle that happened in this sea area? Therefore, there must be people who went back alive.
Those ships of the Liaodong Navy that directly escaped when they felt something was wrong, and those that couldn't escape were killed by Liang Chen because they knew Dongfang Ming's strategy. As long as someone took the lead, others would definitely follow.
Those who went back only knew that Dongfang Ming had rebelled. He detained An Yixuan and wanted to take them to surrender.
"Dongfang Ming!" Gongsun Kang slammed his fist on his table. Suddenly, there was a scar on his hand, but Gongsun Kang didn't care about the wound because he was very angry. At first, he only knew that the Liaodong Navy was finished and completely annihilated, but he didn't know the specific situation. But now, everything was clear. The most important person was the deputy general of the Liaodong Navy, Dongfang Ming. He kidnapped An Yixuan and took the Liaodong Navy to surrender to the Yangzhou Navy.
It was just that the Yangzhou Navy didn't accept the surrender and bombarded them into the sea one after another.
What people hated the most was not the enemy, but the traitor. Gongsun Kang was the same. He suddenly stood up and his eyes were full of hostility.
"Come, come!" Gongsun Kang shouted loudly.
"Lord, what are your orders?" Lackey number one, Wei Kang, quickly appeared in front of Gongsun Kang and spoke to him submissively.
"Bring a group of men and horses to Dongfang Ming's Yixuan mansion. Take down his entire family and execute them!" Gongsun Kang glared at his lackey number one, Wei Kang, as he spoke.
"Ah ah ah!" Wei Kang was stunned for a moment. This was too cruel. He actually wanted to kill Dongfang Ming's family. "Lord, this, this?" Although Wei Kang was a little wretched, he also knew that this was not a good thing. He wanted Gongsun Kang to think for a while.
"Dongfang Ming can betray me and kidnap An Yixuan to surrender to the Yangzhou Navy. Can't I destroy his house and kill his family?" Gongsun Kang looked at Wei Kang with red eyes.
Only then did Wei Kang understand that Dongfang Ming was really enthusiastic about the new boss. Surrendering to Yangzhou was really courting death. Gongsun Kang had always wanted to have full power, so the families of the generals were all in Liaodong Commandery. Surrendering was just courting death.
"Then what about General An Yixuan?" Wei Kang didn't understand why An Yixuan's family was also involved.
"An Yixuan!" Gongsun Kang couldn't tell Wei Kang. This An Yixuan wasn't just a navy commander. He also had another identity. He was the prince before Goguryeo and Fu Yu split. Gongsun Kang originally wanted to keep An Yixuan to deal with Fu Yu and Goguryeo. As long as An Yixuan was there, he would have the right to attack these two countries. After all, their prince was still with him.
But now that An Yixuan was dead, Gongsun Kang didn't want to use An Yixuan anymore. Instead, An Yixuan was a scourge. If Goguryeo and Fu Yu joined forces because of this, it wouldn't be good.
After all, the two kings of Fu Yu and Goguryeo weren't legitimate kings. They wanted to eliminate people like An Yixuan more.
An Yixuan was no longer useful, so Gongsun Kang simply abandoned him.
"Yes!" Although Wei Kang had some lingering fear in his heart, as the number one henchman, he still carried out the order faithfully.
For a while, the An family and Dongfang family were crying and shouting. The An family's 18 people and the Dongfang family's 35 people were all killed in Liaodong Prefecture. This made the generals of Liaodong Prefecture afraid. They didn't dare to think of surrendering. They didn't dare to surrender even if they died in battle. If they died in battle, only they would die. If they surrendered, then their whole family would die.
"No, impossible, impossible, how could Brother Gongsun Kang do this? You lied to me, you lied to me!" An Yixuan roared loudly. He didn't dare to believe the news he heard.
"Brother An, please restrain your grief!" Yang Chen stood on the side. Although he had a smile in his heart, that idiot Gongsun Kang really gave Yang Chen face and pushed these two people to Yangzhou's side so quickly. However, on the surface, he did a good job. There were even tears in the corner of his eyes to comfort these two people who were killed in one day.
"No, no, Brother Gongsun Kang and I are brothers. The two of us burned incense and became sworn brothers. He can't do this to me. You must be lying to me. You must be! "An Yixuan still didn't believe it and shouted loudly. He and Gongsun Kang really had a relationship. If it wasn't for Gongsun Kang, he might have died in Goguryeo. How could he become like this now?
So he didn't believe it. He thought that this was Yang Chen's trick. "I know, you must be lying to me. You must be!"
On the other hand, Dongfang Ming on the side was much calmer because he seemed to have given up. He opened his eyes that had been closed for many days and stared at Yang Chen. "Lord Yang Chen, please tell me, did you send someone to tell Gongsun Kang that I, Dongfang Ming, and An Yixuan have surrendered?" Dongfang Ming looked at Yang Chen and carefully observed, hoping to find the slightest clue from his face.
Sure enough, it was like this! Fortunately, Yang Chen didn't really deliberately release the news that Dongfang Ming and An Yixuan had surrendered. If it was released, although Dongfang Ming and An Yixuan might hate Liaodong, they would also hate Yang Chen. They might even be enemies with Yangzhou.
However, Yang Chen wasn't afraid of a crooked shadow. He was a veteran actor for many years, so there wasn't the slightest bit of uneasiness on his face. "If Brother Dongfang finds out that I, Yang Chen, was the one who tipped off Gongsun Kang, or that I sent someone to inform him, then Yang Chen's head is here, please take it! "Yang Chen really didn't do anything, so he was able to look at Dongfang Ming calmly.
Dongfang Ming stared at Yang Chen's eyes for a long time. His eyes were clear, without the slightest impurity or panic. After thinking for a long time, Dongfang Ming took a deep breath and said, "Lord Yang Chen, Dongfang Ming requests to surrender!"
These words made Yang Chen suddenly smile. Dongfang Ming, this hard bone, had been bitten into pieces. It was too late for An Yixuan over there.
"Dongfang Ming, are you crazy? You actually surrendered to the Yangzhou Navy?" An Yixuan shouted at Dongfang Ming.
"No, I didn't. An Yixuan, General An, I, Dongfang Ming, am just an ordinary man. I don't have that kind of ambition, and it is impossible for me to get rid of my selfish desires. I love my family, they are my everything. Now they are gone, gone! They were all killed by Gongsun Kang. I risked my life to perish together with the Yangzhou Navy. What did I get in return? My Dongfang Family was exterminated. There were 35 people in my Dongfang Family. My 70-year-old mother and my child who was born less than a few months ago are all gone! I want to avenge them, avenge them! And Lord Yang Chen just happened to give me this opportunity! " Dongfang Ming was really an ordinary man. He had his seven emotions and six desires. Such a person had no ambition, but he was indeed an indispensable person. He fought to the death, and was even prepared to sacrifice himself to confuse the enemy. It was not because he was loyal to Gongsun Kang, but because he was afraid that Gongsun Kang would vent his anger on his family. So he was willing to die in exchange for the safety of his family. Now that Gongsun Kang had killed his entire family, his biggest restraint was gone. The restraint he cared about the most was gone.
Now, there were only two words in Dongfang Ming's mind, and that was revenge, revenge, revenge.
"I, I!" An Yixuan was speechless. However, An Yixuan still did not give up. "Dongfang Ming, this is all a lie from Yang Chen. Our family is still alive. It's impossible. I know that Brother Gongsun would not do this."
"Oh, General An, General An, I used to think that you were a smart person who could see through things that others could not understand. But now I found out that I was wrong. You are not a smart person. You can even say that you are a fool!" Dongfang Ming sneered. What was the benefit of Yang Chen lying to them? Yang Chen's purpose of persuading them to surrender was to be used by Yangzhou. If Yang Chen lied to them, they would obviously know after they went out. At that time, they would really lose more than they gained.
Now that Yang Chen dared to say it, it must be the truth.
An Yixuan was silent. He was really stupid. Was he stupid? No, if An Yixuan was stupid, he would not be the commander of Dongfang Ming. An Yixuan was not stupid. On the contrary, he was very smart. It was just that he was still immersed in his own thoughts and was unwilling to admit it.
Now that Dongfang Ming said this, An Yixuan was also silent.
"General An Yixuan, don't deceive yourself. Come, come with me. Gongsun Kang, you killed my Dongfang family's 35 people. I want you to pay with your blood!" Dongfang Ming's eyes were all red and full of hostility.
"Yang Chen Daren, General Gan Ning wants you to go to the deck. There is something important to discuss!" Gan Ning's subordinates shouted to Yang Chen.
"Okay, I know. I will go there right away!" Yang Chen nodded. For Gan Ning to call him, something big must have happened. "General Dongfang, will you go with me?"
Dongfang Ming nodded. He wanted to avenge his family, and the only one who could help him was the Yangzhou Army.
"General An Yixuan, what about you?" Yang Chen looked at An Yixuan.
"Let me think about it again!" An Yixuan still could not recover because for Dongfang Ming, Gongsun Kang was only his superior. But for An Yixuan, Gongsun Kang was his brother.
"Good! If you communicate, you can send someone to inform me at any time! " An Yixuan and Dongfang Ming were detained in an officer's room. The environment inside was a very comfortable place in the entire warship.
Yang Chen and Dongfang Ming went to the deck together.
Gan Ning's face was dignified. He handed the binoculars in his hand to Yang Chen. Yang Chen glanced over. There were many small boats on the port of Liaodong. There were also some merchant ships cruising there.
Because Liaodong's navy was completely wiped out, they prepared to send these small boats and merchant ships to death?
Yang Chen did not underestimate Liaodong. That Gongsun Du was an old fox. Yang Chen had to pay attention to dealing with him. Otherwise, he could be tricked by him.
It didn't take long for Yang Chen to know what these small boats and merchant ships were doing. The merchant ships sank a little bit from the sea, and the small boats seemed to be pouring something out of the port.
"They want to block the port and not let us in?" Yang Chen understood the meaning of these small boats and merchant ships. Yang Chen frowned. This trick was very useful in the inner flow of the Yangtze River, but was it useful in the port of the sea? The depth of the sea was not comparable to the Yangtze River. Even if you blocked the port and sunk the merchant ships, the Yangzhou Navy's former Gailun ships could still sail in.
"Yang Chen Daren, they blocked the port with merchant ships, not for the transport of soldiers!" Gan Ning shook his head with a wry smile. Those merchant ships were not to block these Gailun ships. These Gailun ships were only a few hundred tons. The full draft was not deep. But the three Sovereign Class ships under Gan Ning's hands were different. Once the port was blocked, they really could not pass. Otherwise, they were prepared to be stranded.
"There are people who understand naval warfare!" Yang Chen said to Gan Ning.
"Mo Ran, Mo Zihui!" Dongfang Ming on the side said.
"En?" Yang Chen was stunned for a moment. Although he had some understanding of Liaodong, it was not comprehensive. After all, the old fox Gongsun Du would not put all his capital outside.
"Mo Ran, Mo Zihui, is a general under Gongsun Du. In the past, when General An Yixuan was not the commander of our Liaodong Navy, it was this person who commanded the navy and was in charge of maritime affairs. After General An Yixuan returned, Gongsun Du transferred Mo Ran and Mo Zihui to other places!" Dongfang Ming still knew the details of Mo Ran and Mo Zihui. They were the direct subordinates of Gongsun Du. They had 20,000 elite troops in their hands. It was because of Gongsun Du that they blocked the port.
"Humph, they think that they blocked the port and we can't enter!" Liang Chen on the side sneered. "Our troop ships just passed through! We must set foot on the land of Liaodong and kill them all! "
"This Mo Ran and Mo Zihui may be waiting for our troop ships to come ashore!" Yang Chen on the side said, he did not block the port, he wanted to let the troop ships go ashore, and directly annihilate the Yangzhou troops on the shore. In this way, the Navy's warships could only stare. He knew from the mouths of the soldiers who fled back that these thundering things could only hit a few hundred meters.
"This Mo Ran and Mo Zihui, they understand maritime affairs. Unfortunately, this person does not understand us!" Gan Ning has been calculating, or it should be said that he has been paying close attention. The Liaodong Army only blocked the two to three hundred meters in front of the port, but they did not block the place behind.
