Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 705 Liaodong County Governor Gongsun Du and his Second Son Gongsun Gong

Zhang Sui watched Yanshi leave, smiled and shook his head.

This woman is very ambitious and completely regards herself as a springboard.

But it's also quite interesting.

None of the women in the family are ambitious.

He also wanted to see what other abilities this Yanshi had besides her ambition.

Perhaps, this Yanshi can become a strong woman who is both capable of handling affairs of state and housework.

When Zhang Sui supervised the soldiers to build an altar to offer sacrifices to the dead people of Wuhuan in the three counties.

The capital of Liaodong County was Xiangping.

The main hall of Liaodong Marquis Mansion.

At this time, an old man in his fifties, dressed in brocade clothes, was hugging people on both sides.

In front of him, there was a desk.

The table was piled with cakes and wine cups.

The girl on the left is held in the old man's arms, but is still pouring wine.

Raise the wine cup to the old man's lips.

The old man tilted his head back to drink the wine while kissing the girl on the left on her red lips, causing her to pout.

The girl on the right is peeling an orange, placing the peel on the side of the table and placing the orange in a glass bowl.

Afterwards, the girl on the right took off her shoes, held a jade spoon between her feet, and used the jade spoon to crush the oranges in the glass bowl.

In front of the old man and the two girls, in the open space in the middle of the hall, a group of beautiful women were dancing non-stop to the accompaniment of musicians.

These beautiful women's eyes swept over the old man from time to time.

Seeing that the old man's eyes were almost fixed on the girl's feet on the right, a trace of loss flashed across the faces of the group of women.

However, they soon regained their smiles and continued dancing.

They have graceful figures and light movements.

At first glance, they look like peacocks spreading their tails.

After a while, the girl on the right finally used her feet to hold the jade spoon and crush the orange into juice.

The girl loosened the jade spoon with her feet and picked up the glass bowl.

The old man quickly put his mouth close to it.

The girl on the right holds the glass bowl high with her feet and pours the juice into the old man's mouth.

After the old man finished drinking, he grabbed the girl's feet on his right side, put them in his mouth and kissed them a few times.

Just then, hurried footsteps were heard outside.

Soon, a young man with a sinister look appeared at the door of the hall.

The girl on the right suddenly changed her expression and turned her head away.

But the old man held her shoulders and said in a deep voice: "My dear daughter-in-law, what are you afraid of?"

"Gong'er doesn't have that thing anymore, so I can't give you happiness, so naturally I have to serve you."

Then he looked at the young man who walked in and pushed the dancing woman away, and said with a smile: "Gong'er, what do you think?"

The old man's name was Gongsun Du, a native of Xiangping, Liaodong.

When he was young, his family was poor, so he took Gongsun Yu, the governor of Xuantu County at that time, as his adoptive father.

Gongsun Hong had a son and a daughter, but the son died young.

Seeing that Gongsun Du was so filial to him, he agreed to adopt him as his son, marry his daughter to him, and recommend him as a filial and incorrupt official, and sent him to Jingzhao Luoyang to be a Shangshulang.

During this period, Dong Zhuo was causing chaos in the court, and he tried his best to please Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo was seeking support from the aristocratic families, so he appointed Gongsun Du as the governor of Liaodong County.

After Gongsun Du arrived in Xiangping, he quickly suppressed the local aristocratic families with cruel and bloody means.

Later, in order to fight against Goguryeo, which was rampant in Liaodong, he allied with Buyeo King Wei Choutai and married his daughter to the latter to form an alliance.

Both sides launched continuous attacks on Goguryeo.

Although the people of Goguryeo were fearless and brave, they were attacked by the joint attack of Gongsun Du and Wei Choutai, the king of Buyeo. Gongsun Du, as a native of Xiangping, Liaodong County, had known Goguryeo's strengths and weaknesses since childhood, and was assisted by a large number of Han advisers who had fled from the Central Plains to Liaodong.

It took Gongsun Du several years to force the Goguryeo royal family to compromise, and Goguryeo was officially incorporated into Gongsun Du's army.

Gongsun Du gained control of Goguryeo and his power increased greatly. He divided his troops into two groups.

He went all the way south to the sea and headed straight for Donglai County, and for a time he occupied Donglai County.

He personally led another army, advancing westward to the three counties of Wuhuan, and even reached the foothills of Yanshan Mountain.

Just when he was at the peak of his powers, Yuan Shao united with the Donghu people in the three Wuhuan counties and launched an attack in two directions.

Yuan Shao's eldest son Yuan Tan attacked Beihai County and defeated Beihai Prime Minister Kong Rong. He continued to advance and successfully captured Donglai County.

With the support of Yuan Shao, the Donghu people, with Tadun, who had just been appointed as the Chanyu of Wuhuan by Yuan Shao, as their core, advanced all the way from the rest of Yanshan Mountain.

Gongsun Du was defeated all the way.

After seeing Yuan Shao's strength, Gongsun Du completely gave up his ambition, gave up Donglai County, built a city wall in Changli, and lived his life peacefully in Liaodong.

However, the soldiers under his command, especially the fierce Goguryeo people, were not satisfied with this.

The people of Goguryeo often crossed the sea to the south as pirates, attacking the people in the surrounding ports.

Some people even left Changli and burned, killed and looted the Wuhuan people in the three counties near Liucheng.

Relying on their bravery and fearlessness, the people of Goguryeo were invincible.

However, because Gongsun Du no longer had ambitions and hid in Liaodong County, the people of Goguryeo had no choice but to retreat back to Changli City when faced with the Donghu people from the three counties of Wuhuan who had returned to attack them.

The people of Goguryeo became increasingly dissatisfied with Gongsun Du's behavior.

However, given Gongsun Du's brutality, no one dared to resist for the time being.

Seeing that everyone in Liaodong County was submissive, Gongsun Du even thought about proclaiming himself king, but was opposed by the aristocratic families who had fled to Liaodong County to avoid disaster.

Among them, Li Min, the former governor of Henei County, was particularly fierce.

Seeing that Gongsun Du was unmoved, Li Min became discouraged and prepared to leave Liaodong County.

When the news reached Gongsun Du, he was so furious that he slaughtered Li Min's entire family.

Because of this incident, all the Han Chinese aristocratic families in Liaodong County were kept silent.

Gongsun Du was ready to become king.

But unexpectedly, Yuan Shao was killed.

Gongsun Du had to temporarily shelve his plan to become king, and planned with all his generals to advance westward again to the three counties of Wuhuan, and then take over Hebei.

It’s just that the army hasn’t been dispatched yet.

Some time ago, news came that the Wuhuan in the three counties had gathered 70,000 troops and were ready to fight a decisive battle with the new leader of Henei.

Therefore, Gongsun Du once again shelved his plan to advance westward to conquer the three Wuhuan counties, and prepared to sit back and watch as the new leader of Hebei Province fought a deadly battle with the three Wuhuan counties, and then reap the benefits.

The young man who walked in with a gloomy face was his second son Gongsun Gong.

Gongsun Gong was also the commander of Xiangping, the capital of Liaodong County today.

The girl on Gongsun Du’s right was the wife chosen by Gongsun Du for his second son Gongsun Gong. She was from the Goguryeo royal family.

A year ago, Gongsun Gong's second son suddenly fell seriously ill.

Although he was cured by the doctor and saved his life, his male part was castrated.

Upon seeing this, Gongsun Kang called the wife of his second son Gongsun Gong into his room and favored her every day.

In his opinion, since his second son was incompetent, as a father, he had to continue the bloodline.

His second son, Gongsun Gong, was a eunuch, so we cannot blame him for his behavior, we should even be grateful to him.

However, he also kept some thoughts in mind.

He arranged for his trusted men to hide beside his second son, Gongsun Gong.

He knew every move of his second son, Gongsun Gong.

At least so far, no confidants have reported that the second son Gongsun Gong has any dissatisfaction.

Think about it too.

A eunuch has no interest in women.

Now, as a father, he favors his second son's wife, which is not much different from favoring a bitch.

Gongsun Gong walked quickly to the front of the hall, less than twenty steps away from Gongsun Du.

After quickly measuring the distance between himself and his father Gongsun Du, Gongsun Gong knelt on one knee. His gloomy face turned into a smile. He looked up and said to Gongsun Du: "Father, you pity me. I am grateful to you. How could I harbor hatred against you?"

Although he said that, Gongsun Gong did not even glance at the girl on the right, but said to Gongsun Gong: "Father, I came here this time to receive the latest intelligence from the Wuhuan in the three counties. Father, do you want to listen?"
