Just　after　this　the　Imperial　Protector　of　Youzhou；　Guanqiu　Jian；　sent　in　a　memorial；　saying：　〃Gongsun　Yuan　of　Liaodong　has　risen　in　revolt；　assumed　the　style　of　Prince　of　Yan*；　and　adopted　a　reign　title　of　Extending　Han。　Gongsun　Yuan　has　built　himself　a　Palace；　established　an　administration　of　his　own；　and　is　disturbing　the　whole　north　with　plundering。〃

A　council　met　to　consider　this　memorial。

Within；　officials　labor　at　ignoble　tasks；　and　mean；

Without；　the　glint　of　weapons　on　the　border　may　be　seen。

How　the　insurgents　were　attacked　will　be　related　in　the　next　chapter。

Main　Next　to　Chapter　106　》》

Romance　of　Three　Kingdoms　…　by　Luo　Guanzhong　…　Chapter　106

Chapter　106

Suffering　Defeat；　Gongsun　Yuan　Meets　His　Death；

Pretending　Illness；　Sima　Yi　Deceives　Cao　Shuang。

＇e＇　Yuan　Xi　and　Yuan　Shang　were　Yuan　Shaos　sons。　Guo　Jia　was　the　adviser　who　planned　the　scheme　for　Cao　Cao；　so　that　the　heads　of　Yuan　Xi　and　Yuan　Shang　fell。　（chapter　33）

This　Gongsun　Yuan　was　a　grandson　of　Gongsun　Du　the　Warlike；　and　a　son　of　Gongsun　Kang　in　Liaodong。　In　the　twelfth　year　of　Rebuilt　Tranquillity；　when　Cao　Cao　was　pursuing　Yuan　Xi*　and　Yuan　Shang*；　who　had　fled　eastward；　Gongsun　Kang　had　captured　them；　beheaded　them；　and　sent　their　heads　to　Cao　Cao*。　For　this　service　Gongsun　Kang　received　the　title　of　Lord　of　Xiangping。　After　Gongsun　Kangs　death；　as　his　two　sons………Gongsun　Huang　and　Gongsun　Yuan………were　young；　his　brother　Gongsun　Gong　took　the　chiefship；　and　Cao　Pi；　beside　confirming　the　lordship；　gave　him　the　rank　of　General　of　the　Flying　Cavalry。

In　the　second　year　of　Calm　Peace　（AD　228）；　the　second　son；　Gongsun　Yuan；　being　now　grown　up；　well…educated　and　trained　in　military　exercises；　obstinate　and　fond　of　fighting；　took　away　his　uncles　power　and　ruled　the　heritage　of　his　father。　Cao　Rui　conferred　upon　him　the　title　of　General　Who　Wields　Ferocity；　and　made　him　Governor　of　Liaodong。

Then　the　Ruler　of　Wu；　Sun　Quan；　anxious　to　secure　Gongsun　Yuans　support；　sent　two　envoys；　Zhang　Mi　and　Xu　Yan；　with　gifts　of　gold　and　gems　and　pearls　and　offered　Gongsun　Yuan　the　title　of　Prince　of　Yan。　Fearing　that　the　Middle　Land　would　resent　any　dallying　with　Wu；　Gongsun　Yuan　slew　the　Wu　envoys　and　sent　the　heads　to　the　Ruler　of　Wei。　For　this　proof　of　fealty；　Cao　Rui　gave　him　the　title　of　Grand　General　and　the　Dukedom　of　Yuelang。

However；　Gongsun　Yuan　was　dissatisfied；　and　his　thoughts　turned　toward　independence。　He　took　council　with　his　officers　and　proposed　to　style　himself　Prince　of　Yan　and　to　adopt　a　reign…title　of　Extending　Han；　the　first　year。

One　general；　Jia　Fan；　opposed　this　and　said；　〃My　lord；　the　central　authorities　have　treated　you　well　and　honored　you。　I　fear　that　Sima　Yi　is　too　skillful　a　leader　for　rebellion　to　succeed。　You　see　even　Zhuge　Liang　cannot　defeat　him。　How　much　less　can　you？〃

Gongsun　Yuans　reply　was　to　condemn　Jia　Fan　to　death。　However；　Adviser　Lun　Zhi　ventured　upon　further　remonstrance。

〃Jia　Fan　spoke　well。　The　Sacred　One　says　that　extraordinary　phenomena　presage　the　destruction　of　a　state。　Now　this　time　portents　are　not　wanting；　and　wonders　have　been　seen。　A　dog；　dressed　in　red　and　wearing　a　turban；　went　up　to　the　roof　and　walking　like　a　man。　Moreover；　while　a　certain　person　living　in　a　village　south　of　the　city　was　cooking　his　food；　he　saw　a　child　in　the　pan；　boiled　to　death。　A　great　cave　opened　near　the　market　place　and　threw　out　a　large；　fleshy　body　pletely　human　save　that　it　lacked　limbs。　Swords　could　not　cut　it；　arrows　could　not　penetrate　it。　No　one　knew　what　to　call　it；　and　when　they　consulted　the　soothsayers；　they　obtained　the　reply；　Inplete　shape；　silent　mouth：　A　state　is　near　destruction。　These　prodigies　are　all　inauspicious。　Flee　from　evil　and　strive　to　walk　in　fair　fortunes　way。　Make　no　move　without　most　careful　thought。〃

This　second　remonstrance　enraged　Gongsun　Yuan　still　more；　and　he　sent　Lun　Zhi　to　death　with　Jia　Fan。　Both　were　executed　in　the　public　place。

Gongsun　Yuan　then　prepared　to　make　a　bid　for　empire。　He　raised　an　army　of　one　hundred　fifty　thousand；　appointed　Bei　Yan　as　mander；　and　Yang　Zuo　as　Leader　of　the　Van。　This　army　set　out　for　the　Middle　Land。

Ruler　of　Wei　was　alarmed　at　the　report　of　this　rising；　and　sent　for　Sima　Yi。

Sima　Yi　was　not　greatly　perturbed；　and　said；　〃My　forty　thousand　troops　will　be　equal　to　the　task。〃

The　Ruler　of　Wei　replied；　〃The　task　is　heavy；　for　your　troops　are　few　and　the　road　is　long。〃

〃The　strength　of　an　army　is　not　in　numbers；　but　in　strategy。　Aided　by　Your　Majestys　good　fortune；　I　shall　certainly　be　able　to　bring　this　fellow　Gongsun　Yuan　a　captive　to　your　feet。〃

〃What　do　you　think　will　be　the　rebels　plan？〃　asked　the　Ruler　of　Wei。

〃His　high　plan　would　be　flight　before　our　army　can　arrive；　his　middle　plan　would　be　defending　his　position　in　Liaodong；　his　low　plan　would　be　to　try　to　hold　Xiangping。　In　the　last　case　I　shall　certainly　capture　him。〃

〃How　long　will　the　expedition　take？〃

〃We　have　to　cover　one　thousand　five　hundred　miles　which　will　take　a　hundred　days。　Attack　will　consume　another　hundred。　The　return　will　need　a　hundred；　and　with　sixty　days　to　rest　we　shall　take　a　year。〃

〃Suppose　during　that　year　we　are　attacked　by　Wu　or　Shu。〃

〃My　plans　provide　for　that。　Your　Majesty　need　have　no　anxiety。〃

The　Ruler　of　Wei　being　thus　reassured；　formally　ordered　Sima　Yi　to　undertake　the　expedition。
