Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 706 Liu Yi and Gongsun Du’s Fear: Xu Rong
When Gongsun Du heard Gongsun Gong say this, he immediately gently pinched the girl's thigh on the right side and laughed, "Look, I told you, Gong'er is the most well-behaved."

The girl on the right also looked at Gongsun Gong, who was kneeling on one knee, with disgust, then raised one foot and put it to Gongsun Du's mouth.

Gongsun Duwu said, and put the girl's feet in his mouth with a doting look on his face.

After a while, he said to the two girls on his left and right: "We'll play in the evening. Now we have something to do, go play by yourselves."

The two girls then stood up, twisted their graceful waists, and went in through the curtain on the left.

Gongsun Gong, who had been kneeling on one knee, stood up and shouted at the bewildered dancers and musicians around him, "What are you still standing there for? Do you want me to ask you to leave?"

The dancers and musicians hurriedly stood up and filed out.

In an instant, Gongsun Du and Gongsun Gong, father and son, were the only ones left in the entire hall of the marquis' mansion.

Gongsun Du then looked down at Gongsun Gong and asked, "Gong'er, what urgent information do you have?"

Gongsun Gong glanced at Gongsun Du, took out a cylinder from his sleeve, opened the bottle cap, pulled out a piece of cloth from it, held it in both hands, and then put it on the ground.

Not far from Gongsun Du, a figure in black clothes who had been standing like a wooden man saw what was happening, walked over quickly, picked up the strip of cloth from the ground, shook it to make sure there was nothing wrong, and then handed it to Gongsun Du.

Gongsun Du took the cloth, glanced at it, and said in surprise: "Those two guys, Tatun and Louban, are dead?"

"So the Hebei leader decided to go to the battle himself?"

"Xu, Xu Rong?"

Gongsun Du was panicked. He looked at the figure beside him and asked, "Why is he not dead? Why is he still under the jurisdiction of Hebei?"

The figure said in a hoarse voice: "My Lord, I have heard some things about Xu Rong before."

"It is said that Xu Rong has been following Zhang Sui in his battles."

"It's just that I can't confirm this news, so I dare not mention it."

Gongsun Gong looked at his father Gongsun Du coldly. Seeing his fearful expression, he said, "Father, Tadun and Louban are dead. The three counties of Wuhuan must have fallen into Zhang Sui's hands."

"These past few days, my elder brother told me that all the civil and military officials are eager to try."

“Although I don’t understand why Tadun lost to Zhang Sui.”

"However, Zhang Sui had been on a long expedition from Yecheng to the Three Commanderies of Wuhuan. His men and horses were exhausted, and he was not used to the conditions here, so his strength was greatly reduced."

"The civil and military officials thought that although Zhang Sui was young, he had great ambitions."

"Although it was publicly stated that the death of Yuan Shao in battle was caused by the high-ranking officials of Bingzhou, everyone is more inclined to believe that the high-ranking officials of Bingzhou were just scapegoats. The real culprit who killed Yuan Shao must be Zhang Sui."

"Zhang Sui dared to kill Yuan Shao, who was a minister for four generations. If he took over the three counties of Wuhuan, he would definitely not let us in Liaodong go."

"The Goguryeo royal family has strongly suggested to you, brother, that you take the opportunity to move westward, seize the three counties of Wuhuan, defeat Zhang Sui, unify Hebei, and compete for the Central Plains."

Gongsun Du then turned his eyes away from the strip of cloth and said awkwardly, "Gong'er, you don't know that Zhang Sui has Xu Rong under his command!"

"This Xu Rong also commands a troop of 700 heavy cavalrymen called the 'Flying Bear Army'."

"In the past, Xu Rong and I served under Dong Zhuo together. I have seen Xu Rong and his cavalry before."

"At that time, Xu Rong was the General of the Central Army, and he only led 3,000 cavalrymen, and they were ordinary cavalrymen."

"However, Xu Rong almost wiped out Cao Cao's 10,000-strong army at the time."

"Sun Jian, who defeated Dong Zhuo, almost lost his entire army when he encountered Xu Rong."

"He himself was nearly killed by Xu Rong."

"It was his subordinates who risked their lives to replace Sun Jian and attracted Xu Rong's attention, which allowed Sun Jian to escape with his life."

"The soldiers trained by Xu Rong all have red eyes, like evil spirits."

"When they fight, they are fearless and unafraid of death."

"I have personally seen some of them being shot by dozens of arrows, yet still able to continue fighting."

"How can we defeat Xu Rong?"

"Among us Liaodong soldiers, no one can resist him!"

The figure next to Gongsun Du also frowned, as if recalling some unpleasant experiences.

Seeing his father Gongsun Du so fearful, Gongsun Gong's mouth flashed with sarcasm, and then he said: "Then how about this, father, I will go back and talk to my eldest brother, and you will explain it to the civil and military officials in the morning meeting tomorrow?" "My eldest brother and I are both sons, and our prestige in front of the civil and military officials is far less than that of father."

"They are now eager to fight, and my brother and I can't suppress them."

“Only if the father comes forward in person can they understand.”

Gongsun Du nodded in agreement and said, "That's true."

"Okay then, go tell Kang Er that I will personally host the morning meeting tomorrow."

Gongsun Gong responded obediently and slowly left the hall.

Gongsun Du watched Gongsun Gong disappear outside the threshold of the hall, then turned around and said to the figure: "Bo Kai, what do you think?"

Bo Kai, whose full name is Liu Yi, is his courtesy name.

Liu Yi was born in Liaodong and was a general promoted by Gongsun Du's adoptive father Gongsun Hong.

Both civil and military.

In his early years, when Gongsun Du went to Jingzhao to serve as a Shangshu Lang, Gongsun Hong asked Liu Yi to follow Gongsun Du and protect Gongsun Du's safety.

In the early years, when Gongsun Du joined forces with the King of Buyeo to attack Goguryeo, Liu Yi always led the charge and was unstoppable.

Even the fearless Goguryeo soldiers had their hair stand on end when they saw Liu Yi.

After the death of Gongsun Du's adoptive father Gongsun Hong, Liu Yi has been following Gongsun Du as his right-hand man.

There has been no war in Liaodong in recent years, and Liu Yi even served as Gongsun Du's personal bodyguard.

Because Liu Yi was both civil and military, daring and capable, and quite resourceful, Gongsun Du discussed almost everything with Liu Yi.

Seeing Gongsun Du asking him this, Liu Yi hesitated for a moment before saying to Gongsun Du: "Xu Rong is powerful, there is no doubt about it."

"However, the civil and military officials of Liaodong today have not seen his terror, so they are naturally not afraid of him."

"I'm afraid I'll encounter difficulties at the lord's early meeting tomorrow."

"Today, everyone in Liaodong is eager to expand the territory."

"Especially since Tadun is dead."

"Also, I just saw the Second Young Master's expression, and there seemed to be a flash of ferocity in it."

"My lord, be extra careful at the morning meeting tomorrow."

"I'll check on the guards later to make sure there are no accidents."

"My lord, you will go there tomorrow with your armor."

"Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens."

Gongsun Du nodded and said, "Now I am also considered a member of the imperial family."

"The sons of the emperor are all beasts."

"For a little power, they will do anything."

"Kang'er and Gong'er look docile and don't behave in any unusual way."

"But the more this happens, the bigger their ambitions become."

Licking the corner of his mouth, Gongsun Du sneered, "Even though Gong'er is a eunuch, he can't even feel any anger when he sees his woman being toyed with by a father like me. Isn't that ridiculous?"

"Such poor acting skills, I really thought I was old and dim-witted and would be fooled by him."

Liu Yi sighed and said, "This position is not so easy to get."

"Once you sit on it, all your emotions disappear."

"It is no longer up to my lord."

Gongsun Du agreed and said, "Then you should ambush the swordsmen and axemen on both sides of the hall tonight."

"Tomorrow, if anyone dares to make trouble, I will kill them all!"
