Han counter current

It's just that all this is Gongsun Kang's wishful thinking. He feels that the aristocratic families in the city will not abandon him.

But in fact, in front of the butcher's knife, the remaining aristocratic families in the city had already sold him out.Zhang He is not a good stubble, he adopted a genocide policy against Gongsun Kang's family.

All aristocratic families related to the Gongsun family were taken care of, either the main personnel were detained, or the head of the family was invited as a guest.

Of course, not everyone was so obedient at the beginning, but when Zhang He showed the butcher knife in his hand and wiped out the five largest families in the city within a day, the other families were terrified.

Generally speaking, the side that attacked the city would not be so ruthless.After all, they still need local aristocratic families to help them govern the area.

Moreover, even if they wanted to kill them, they would only symbolically kill a few irrelevant people to knock mountains and shake tigers, and then treat the local aristocratic families politely.

At first, Zhang He thought so too, after all, he did this when he attacked the city before.

Maybe this is not very good, but at least it can calm people's hearts.However, when Zhang He opened the kit Jia Xu gave him, he had to adopt a fierce suppression strategy.

Jia Xu didn't tell him to appease the local aristocratic family, but told him one thing, if he wanted Pingxiang not to be recaptured by Gongsun Kang, he could do whatever he wanted, and there was nothing wrong with killing more aristocratic families.

The title of poisoner is really not for nothing. Jia Xu knows where the biggest difficulty is on his side, and also knows what the enemy's advantage is.

He is more aware of the relationship between Pingxiang City and the nearby tribes and the Gongsun Kang family, so he must order this way, so that Pingxiang City can be stabilized in the shortest possible time.

"Report to General, this is a secret letter sent by Gongsun Kang's thief. The villain has not opened it, and now it is handed over to the General."

A middle-aged man dressed as a scribe respectfully handed a secret letter to Zhang He, and then stood aside without speaking.

Zhang He picked up the teacup slowly, then smiled.

"Why should Patriarch Chen be restrained, our army is going to occupy Pingxiang City, and we will be partners in the future.

After my lord's order arrives, this place will become the center of trade between Hu people and Han people. At that time, we will have to rely on the full support of you aristocratic families. "

"Don't dare, dare not dare, the villain will definitely obey the general's orders."

The Patriarch surnamed Chen cupped his hands repeatedly: "The villain has brought another hundred carts of grain and grass. This is for the general. I hope the general will accept it."

"Hehe, our army is not short of food and grass, take it back, Your Excellency."

Zhang He put down his teacup, shook his head and rejected the other party's kindness.

"A few days ago I ransacked my house and got a lot of good things. Just the food and grass from Gongsun Kang's family is enough for our army to feed for three years. Now I have no shortage of food and grass, no shortage, hehe,,,,,,"

"General, the villain has absolutely nothing to do with Gongsun Kang, please be kind to the general..."

The head of the family surnamed Chen had to beg for mercy. These days, all the families that colluded with Gongsun Kang were all wiped out. Every time Zhang He sneered, one family was ransacked. Now, these aristocratic families are very afraid.

"So, did Gongsun Kang send you the letter unintentionally?"

"Little man, I don't know, general, if the villain is willing to help the general defend the city, the general must trust me.

He, Gongsun Kang, is not a good person. My Chen family has been oppressed by him for many years. I and Gongsun Kang are incompatible. Please learn from the general. "

"Well, that's fine, since you have a grudge against Gongsun Kang, then write him a letter and tell him that you are willing to cooperate with him."

"General, please be kind to the general, even if you borrow my courage, I wouldn't dare to do this."

"Then I will borrow your guts, do you want to do it or not..."

In Gongsun Kang's big tent, a group of confidant generals were sitting here drinking. Before, they were worried that the rear would be taken away, and they became a lone army on their side.

But now, they are not worried anymore, because Gongsun Kang took out the reply letter from the aristocratic family in the city.

"As expected, the enemy generals were able to capture Pingxiang City, but they couldn't appease people's hearts. Hmph, as soon as our soldiers arrive, the noble families in the city will surely surrender.

Rest assured, the enemy army is only 5000 people, and they must have lost a lot when they attacked the city. As long as we go back, Pingxiang will still be ours. "

"The last general swears to follow the lord to the death,,,,,,"

"Okay, all the generals are working together, why don't you worry about your peace and support, come, everyone, drink up this cup."

"Thank you, my lord,,,,,,"

Outside the big tent, some low-level soldiers who couldn't eat enough showed resentment. Even if they could return to Pingxiang City, so what, these low-level soldiers still didn't have enough food and clothing.

As for Gongsun Kang's younger brothers, they can't leave now because they didn't get Gongsun Kang's permission.

Even if they knew there was a problem behind them, they had to stay calm. Many people already had grievances, but they didn't dare to vent them yet.

In the evening, Gongsun Kang's confidantes were still drinking, and war would break out when they arrived in Pingxiang City tomorrow. They were not in a hurry, and they hadn't had a good drink during this time. If they had the opportunity today, no one wanted to skip a few drinks.

It's a pity that Gongsun Kang has been entrenched in Liaodong for so long, and he underestimated the heroes of the world.What's more, what he has to face this time is the cooperation between Gongsun Xu and Zhang He.

When they were drinking, Gongsun Xu and Zhang He's soldiers and horses had already arrived nearby, but Gongsun Kang hadn't noticed it yet.

"General Zhang has worked hard from a long distance, please enter the tent and rest for a while, there will be movement in the enemy camp in the middle of the night, and it will not be too late for our army to attack again."

"General Gongsun is polite."

Zhang He didn't dare to be arrogant, for one thing, he only brought 3000 troops this time, the other [-] stayed in Pingxiang City, while the opponent had [-].

In addition, although I and Gongsun Xu were hostile forces in the past and had fought against each other, but now we all have the same identity and have a common enemy.

The most important thing is that Zhang He knows his identity. He is a surrendered general, and he first surrendered to Cao Cao and then surrendered to Chen Feng.

Gongsun Xu was different. Although he was even more downcast, he was independent from beginning to end. Even if he took refuge in Chen Feng now, it could only be called refuge, not surrender. The meaning was different.

In addition, Zhang He also knew the influence of Gongsun Xu in Liaodong and Youzhou. You must know that after Gongsun Zan was defeated, many soldiers and horses broke through and escaped.

Moreover, those soldiers and horses guarding the frontier were not mobilized, and some of them ran away later. They must be more convinced by Gongsun Xu's edict. As long as Gongsun Xu gives an order, these people are likely to come back.

The most important thing is that Zhang He also got the news that his lord might marry Gongsun Yue, and then Gongsun Xu's identity would be even different from his own, so Zhang He didn't dare to underestimate Gongsun Xu.

"I didn't expect to meet General Gongsun in this situation. You planned this battle, so you should take command."

Zhang Hegong cupped his hands: "If there was any offense in the past, please don't take it to heart."

"Hehe, let him get over the past. The you and me today are not the you and me back then."

Gongsun Xu waved his hand and greeted Zhang He warmly.

"Here is a secret letter from Brother Chen. After you read it, destroy it. Don't let a third person know."

"My lord's secret letter? This,,,,,,"

In the middle of the night, Gongsun Kang's camp suddenly caught fire. When the whole army was in chaos, groups of people rushed in.

The soldiers and horses of the Xianbei tribe and the Fuyu people did not resist and fled while taking advantage of the chaos. As for the soldiers and horses of Gongsun Kang's direct line, because their respective chiefs were drunk, they could not form an effective command. Kill at this time.

When Gongsun Kang himself was arrested, he was still lying on the bed and sleeping soundly. The overlord of one party, the emperor of Liaodong, the head of the Gongsun family, had ended his hegemony career in this way.
