"My lord, now is not the time to be arrogant, please condescend..." Fan Fang was interrupted by Gongsun Zan before he finished speaking.

"Condescending? Without dignity, how can you dominate!" Gongsun Zan said loudly.

"My lord, you see, Yuan Shao betrayed you, Cao Cao betrayed Dongyanghou, how can we get along well? Sometimes, dignity can be let go. What's more, Dongyanghou is an upright person, as long as you say a few nice words, it will be good for you. It's done!" Fan Fang said.

"Yes, my lord, the Marquis of Dongyang said that as long as you go in person, you will definitely send troops!" Guan Jing said.

As for whether Liu Ke said anything, Guan Jing seemed to know better.

"For the sake of the people of Youzhou, my lord, you will condescend once!" Fan Fang said.

"Forget it, for the people of Youzhou, I will go through this." Gongsun Zan sighed.

"My lord is wise!" Fan Fang and Guan Jing said in unison.

However, as soon as Gongsun Zan left the city, he was scouted by Yuan Shao's scouts and set up an ambush on the border of western Liaoning.

After a while of fighting, Gongsun Zan fled back to Youbeiping in desperation, closing the gate tightly.

Chapter 440 Six Gongsundu Admits Defeat

Liu Ke has already decided to ignore Gongsun Zan's matter.

I started to focus on Liaodong, settled the matter here, and returned to Yangzhou immediately.

Since Gongsun Du was defeated, he became more honest and hid in Xuantu County.

Liu Ke took the opportunity to evacuate Xiangping's treasury.

Although Gongsun Du was heartbroken, he was powerless and could only watch helplessly as his wealth fell into Liu Ke's hands.

Suddenly, Liu Ke received news that Gongsun Du's emissary, Yang Yi, was visiting.

"Congratulations, my lord, Gongsun Du has surrendered." Xun You said.

"It's too early to be happy, accidents may happen at any time." Liu Ke said.

Later, Liu Ke met Yang Yi.

"Greetings to Marquis Dongyang!" Yang Yi saluted tremblingly. In his opinion, he was taking great risks to go on an envoy.

After all, the last emissary was still hanging on the bow and became a mummy.

How could Yang Yi not be afraid?

"What does Gongsun Du want to say?" Liu Ke said.

This very common sentence made Yang Yi startled, and it took her a long time to calm down.

"My lord has already been defeated, and I am willing to admit Dongyang Hou's proposition. In the territory of the Han Dynasty, the people are the people, and the war is the war. I also ask the Dongyang Hou to hold your hands high and let us off in Liaodong."

"It was the price when I sent the envoy, is it still the same price when I send the army?" Liu Ke said.

Yang Yi slandered in her heart: Xiangping has been evacuated, and the countless wealth inside can't satisfy Dongyanghou's appetite?

Of course, he would never dare to say such a thing, unless he didn't want to live.

"What other conditions does the Marquis of Dongyang have? As long as we Liaodong can offer it, we will definitely not be stingy." Yang Yi said.

The army has been defeated to the point of losing his hometown, so the problem of face is nothing.

Although Gongsun Du still has the power to fight, does Goguryeo not care about it?

In Gongsundu's view, Liu is a powerful enemy, but Goguryeo is the enemy for life.

"How do I know what you have? You have to ask yourself, what can I come up with that makes my heart beat." Liu Ke said.

What a rogue!

But before Yang Yi went on an envoy, Gongsun Du did give him the greatest autonomy.

"Marquis Dongyang, my lord guards the northern part of the Han Dynasty and defends against Wuhuan and Goguryeo for the great Han. There is no credit but hard work. Moreover, my lord has never touched the land of the Central Plains..." Yang Yi said a lot of good things for Gongsun Du.

Liu Ke is not unreasonable, Gongsun Du has indeed done some good things to a certain extent.

"In a word, how do you plan to compensate?"

Yang Yi gritted her teeth and said, "My lord is willing to give up Liaoxi County and Liaodong County!"

What a great handwriting!

In this way, Gongsun Du lost half of his territory, which was not a big blow to him.

However, the two counties of Liaoxi and Liaodong are close to Youzhou. If Liu Ke really wins, he will have to deploy defenses.

For Yangzhou, it is a burden.

Gongsun Du probably expected this and pretended to be generous.

Seeing Liu Ke's hesitation, Yang Yi continued:

"If Marquis Dongyang doesn't want to, you can replace it with Le Lang and Dai Fang."

The two counties of Lelang and Daifang are on the Koryo Peninsula.

This land is more attractive to Liu Ke.
