”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.
