Gongsun Zhan couldn't help it, and under the pressure of the soldiers and horses of the Liang State step by step, he lost his territory one after another but was unable to fight back, so he could only hide under the high walls of Yecheng...... Gongsun Chan is fed up with days like this.

Send an envoy to meet with Ma Yue in person under Yecheng.

Ma Yue was naturally happy to see this, because Jiangdong Sun Ce sent troops to Jingzhou, which caused Cao Mengde's imperial court soldiers and horses to withdraw from the Jizhou campaign prematurely, and fully waved his army south to support Liu Bei. Although Ma Yue's troops had occupied all the cities outside Yecheng in southern Hebei, Gongsun Zan still had 30,000 soldiers and horses in the city, and there were countless grains and grasses.

And the siege, obviously, Gongsun Chan will hold out longer than he expected.

When he received the message, Ma Yue immediately made an appointment with Gongsun Zhan and talked about it in front of the battle tomorrow.

Speaking of which, he and Gongsun Zhan have not seen each other in Youzhou for more than ten years.

The soldiers and horses put up a formation, and the location of the meeting between the two sides was five miles north of the Liangguo army formation and south of Yecheng, far away from the threat range of the soldiers and horses on both sides, and the safety of the other side was guaranteed.

The next day, it was cloudy and rainy, Ma Yue wore a cloak and a cloak and took two relatives to meet Gongsun Zhan in a better place.

In the distance, I saw a white horse galloping forward, and the muddy rain showed the profound skills of the rider on the horse, and what made Ma Yue's eyes shine was that there was only one rider. Gongsun Chan came to meet Ma Yue alone, which is not a recognition of his character.

"Brother Bogui, I haven't seen you for a long time." When Gongsun Zhan turned over the horse, Ma Yue got up and arched his hand, and said through the heavy rain curtain: "I never thought that this would be the case when we met again. ”

Gongsun Zhan didn't smile when he looked at Ma Yue, but just flung the reins and strode over, and looked at Ma Yue for a long time before saying, "Jun Hao, you are still the same as ten years ago." ”

How could it still be the same as more than ten years ago, in those years that slipped away from their fingertips with a flick of their fingers, which of them galloped in troubled times didn't have their own chances, and all kinds of bitterness and bitterness had to be tasted at this time? Don't say that you don't forget your original intention, just after experiencing those unspeakable things, closeness and betrayal, the confrontation between desire and profit, and the delivery of love and righteousness, who can still stop your heart?

He thought he had all the initiative in the war, but when Ma Yue saw Gongsun Zhan, he knew he was wrong. Although he strategically suppressed the advantage of Gongsun Zhan's unscrupulous talents and forcibly seized most of the land under Gongsun Zhan's jurisdiction, he was ...... in Gongsun Zhan's face There is no end in sight.

He had seen too many soldiers to the point of defeat, some crazy, some desperate, some relieved, he thought that he already had a deep understanding of the things such as the twilight of the heroes at the end of the road, so he deeply understood that Gongsun Chan was not depressed.

After more than ten years, Gongsun Chan is still the same, heroic and radical heroic.

"Brother Bogui, isn't it the same as it was more than ten years ago?" Ma Yue smiled, he felt a little bored, none of them were bad people, but in the end, they were fighting each other, and what did they do with this kind of closeness? He immediately raised his hand and said, "Brother Bogui, look at my military formation, once the 60,000 soldiers and horses storm the city, there will be a lot of damage......

Before Ma Yue could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Gongsun Zhan raising his hand, pointing to Ma Yue's entourage behind him and saying, "Take the bed." ”

After that, Gongsun Chan said to Ma Yue: "Don't talk about military and political affairs today, a certain family doesn't understand those things very well, and it's just luck that they can survive until now, but they won't surrender, this land ...... It was bought by so-and-so's brothers with their lives! Therefore, even if you want to take Jizhou, you have to exchange your life! ”

Gongsun Chan pointed to the surrounding land, this is the land! What led the princes of all walks of life to attack each other almost frantically, after all, it was not for the land.

Land means wealth, it means population, it means power.

People need land as much as they need air.

Ma Yue suddenly felt a little sad, he was lucky, first Cheng Li and then Jia Xu poured out his money to help, and he never had to worry about the big strategy, so every step steadily established the Liang Guo's great business. Looking back, Liang Hu told him that he and Gongsun Chan were the same people, but Gongsun Chan had less luck.

"A certain family has done nothing wrong, so shouldn't Liu Yu be damned for colluding with foreigners? If you listen to the advice of a certain person, what Karasuma Xianbei, now it is all the Han family horse farm, do you want to call me the people of the Han Dynasty to herd horses outside the Saiwai Horse Farm? Gongsun Chan gritted his teeth, and that appearance did not look like the end of the road, but tragic. Han Fu wants to kill a certain family, so he depends on his ability, so he is dead, and he is still alive. The imperial court also wants to kill a certain family, Cao Cao sent troops, Liu He is under the banner of avenging his father, in the final analysis, including you, Ma Junhao, doesn't he covet the land of Jizhou? What did a certain family do wrong? ”

The attendant moved the couch, Ma Yue's canopy was placed on it to cover the wind and rain, and Gongsun Chan sat cross-legged under it, hooked his hand and ordered the attendant to fetch some wine. The attendant looked at Ma Yue helplessly, and when he saw Ma Yue nodding, he turned back to his horse to get wine.

"Is it because they do rude things and put on the name of righteousness, so they are right, and a certain family is a traitor?" Gongsun Chan smiled, in the past ten years since Liu Yu's death, Gongsun Chan seems to have become a commodity that everyone shouts and beats in the world, and he is no longer the white horse general who flaunted his martial arts and leaped into Liaodong, but a traitor! But at that juncture, if Liu Yu doesn't die, Gongsun Chan will die...... At that time, Gongsun Chan really didn't do anything wrong. "Don't talk about that."

Gongsun Chan shook his head and smiled, he has been embarrassed for more than ten years, and everyone is shouting and beating wherever he goes, and it is not easy to fight from Youzhou to Jizhou under pressure.

After a while, the attendant presented the wine jar, Gongsun Zhan slapped the lid without saying much, raised his head and poured a large sip of spirits, and then handed the wine jar to Ma Yue, with a little tiredness in his expression, and asked: "I heard your news intermittently all these years, are you tired?" ”

How many years, walking on the road behind always some follow, the road ahead is always one after another difficulties and obstacles become a hurdle that cannot be overcome, even if the prestige is widely spread all over the world, even if the military is powerful, no one has ever asked, you are tired of such hard work.

Today, he was asked by the White Horse General of the hostile camp. Ma Yue suddenly felt mixed feelings in his heart, and suddenly felt a little sad.

The rain was still pouring down, and the canopy was not an umbrella, but only a decoration, so that there were still many raindrops falling, surrounded by endless coolness, and the spirit of the wine in the throat made people feel warm. Ma Yue didn't answer Gongsun Zhan's question, but just took the same spirits, raised his head and poured two sips, feeling depressed, and then sat cross-legged on the wet couch with Gongsun Zhan, and the two watched the heavy military formations and the pouring rain in the distance side by side, silent.

The cruelest thing about this age is that each is his own master. This is not for the sake of becoming, but becoming. They are all their own masters, and there are thousands of mouths behind them counting on them, looking forward to them. Who's to say it's not another kind of involuntary self-inflicted.

Ma Yue also had an impulse in his heart, telling Gongsun Zhan that we would not fight this battle, and I would withdraw from the army. Even I made an alliance with you, but these words were too easy, and to this day, they are no longer the people they once were, and they can't run separately in Xinma. Their wishful thinking means that the hearts of tens of millions of people behind will have to pay the price for this wishful thinking.

So he doesn't speak.

In this way, the two passed the wine jar in the silent heavy rain, drinking the same jar of wine one by one, for fear that they would accidentally destroy the tranquility.

After a while, there was not much wine left in the altar, and Ma Yue was also drunk, Gongsun Zhan suddenly pointed to the large land in front of him and said: "It's right there, the radius of more than ten miles is flat, and it is a rare good place in Yecheng." ”

Ma Yue turned his head, probably knowing what Gongsun Chan wanted to say.

"Tomorrow, 30,000 soldiers and horses from Yecheng will come out of the nest and will fight with the guild here." Gongsun Chan took the wine jar from Ma Yue's arms, took a sip of it, and threw the wine jar far away, and the sound of the tile jar breaking was drowned out in the heavy rain. Gongsun Chan also walked out of the canopy, let the heavy rain drench his whole body, and shouted loudly to Ma Yue: "Between you and me, there is still a lack of life and death." None of us have done anything wrong, so let's fight, and let God decide who wins and who loses. If a certain family wins, you will go back to your Liang Kingdom and continue to be your Liang King. If you win, Yecheng and a certain family will all belong to you. ”

Gongsun Chan said that, he went to lead the horse, and when he was halfway through, he turned back to the couch and said: "If you die in battle tomorrow, your wife and children will be entrusted to you, and a certain young son will continue to be raised, so you will be asked to raise him as an adult, don't let him wade into the troubled waters of military affairs again, just ask for an ordinary family." ”

After that, Gongsun Zhan turned over his horse and galloped away in the mud of the rain, the white-clothed white horse, in the eyes of Ma Yue, looked like the young figure of the governor of the Great Wall of Shanggu more than ten years ago leading thirty white horses to gallop left and right with iron spears.

The world is difficult, and who can see the road behind clearly, is he Ma Yue, looking back, he also feels that creation makes people.

Long after Gongsun Chan left, Ma Yue sat quietly in the rain alone, looking at the silhouette of Taihang Mountain hidden in the rain and mist in the distance, and thought for a long time.

The princes of the world, several of them have a clear goal at the beginning, and they want to gallop in this world with the idea of dominating the world. Most of them are like themselves, pushed by life, their experience determines character, character determines fate, and fate, determines life and death.

In the chaotic era, who can not feel regrets?

This is like the feeling that Gongsun Chan gave Ma Yue, if there is one sentence that Gongsun Chan said today that can move Ma Yue the most, it is undoubtedly that he said that he did nothing wrong...... But he was defeated.

If you take a wrong step, you will end up being attacked from three sides, and you will be calm and chaotic, Gongsun Chan is not bad, and it is not bad. But it's just a little bit less lucky.

When Ma Yue galloped back to the camp, all the generals surrounded him and asked, "Lord, how is Gongsun Zhan?" ”

Ma Yue shook his head slightly, perhaps only he knew what this shaking meant.

"Prepare for war, tomorrow in the plain and Gongsun Bogui Ministry, divide the victory and defeat, and determine life and death!"
