With the death of Gongsun Chan, the battle of the boundary bridge came to an end.

Although Bai Ma Yi's desperate killing from the end did not change the situation of the battle, it also caused Yuan Shaojun to suffer heavy losses.

Guan Jing, Tian Kai and other generals led the defeated army to flee all the way back to Ganling, while Wangmen put down his sword and surrendered to Yuan Shao with more than 2,000 cavalry.

Although Gongsun Chan fought to death, Yuan Shao was not happy, after counting, the official Gao Ran was seriously injured, and Jiang Qi was even more angry, and his life hung by a thread.

Among the sergeants, the cavalry suffered the greatest loss, leaving less than two hundred, if it were not for the surrender of Wang Men with more than 2,000 cavalry, Yuan Shao could officially announce the cancellation of the Hebei cavalry, as for the infantry, less than half of the first dead soldiers who charged ahead, and the other sergeants lost more than 10,000 people.

Although it was a victory, it was a real victory.

With such heavy casualties, Yuan Shao had no spare strength to chase and kill, in his heart, once Gongsun Chan died, the remaining Anton army was leaderless, and it was no longer a threat, so it was better to repair it first, and then slowly conquer it.

On the other side, Ma Qiang, who had not yet received the news of the Battle of the Boundary Bridge, had already crossed the border with Qingzhou soldiers and horses and attacked Jizhou.

Ma Qiang's troops were divided into two routes, one was led by Pan Feng and Lin Hai to attack Lingxian, and the other was led by Huang Zhong to attack Xiuxian.

Xiuxian is the junction of Qingshui River and Jiangshui, and taking this place will basically cut off the back road of Gongsun Zhan's army.

Ma Qiang estimated according to the history of later generations that Gongsun Zhan would lose this battle, although he would not fight, but he would still beat the water dogs.

He wants to take advantage of the battle of the boundary bridge and destroy Gongsun Chan first in one go, otherwise once Gongsun Chan escapes back to Youzhou, it will be troublesome to take Youzhou in the future.

- Ganling of Qinghe Country

"General!! Shogun!! ”

The original Yamen hall has now become a temporary mourning hall, and the tablets of Gongsun Zhan, Yan Gang and others are placed on it.

Guan Jing knelt on the ground, crying like a tearful person, he was really sad, he was not from a big family, but the son of a poor family, it was Gongsun Chan who valued him all the way and promoted him to today's position.

Now that Gongsun Chan is gone, although the world is big, where is the place to stay!

Even more sad than him is Tian Kai, within a day, he lost his son and lost his king, and he couldn't breathe when he cried.

And Liu Weitai and the three of them, as Gongsun Zhan's sworn brothers, got the official position, and as soon as Gongsun Chan leaves, these three lowly people will be beaten back to their original shape, and they will not be able to cry.

"Guan Changshi, don't cry yet! What should we do now? Zou Dan, who stayed in Ganling and did not participate in the Battle of the Boundary Bridge, asked anxiously.

He was the most confused one, he never thought that Yuan Shao would be so arrogant and fight Gongsun Zan to death.

That's right, the Anton Army is still there!

There's no time to cry.

Guan Jing wiped his tears, thought for a while and said, "Although the general is gone, but the prince is still here, we should serve the prince as the master, take over as General Anton, and assassinate the history of Jizhou!" ”

Guan Jing understands very well that the first priority now is to find a head for everyone, no matter whether this head is useful or not, as long as it can bring people's hearts back together.

"The prince is still in Youzhou, do we want to withdraw the army?" Tian Kai also wiped his tears, sorted out his mood and asked.

"Although Yuan Shao won, but its losses are not small, we can withdraw our troops to Nanpi first, and ask Liu Zhijun to send reinforcements to fight again, Bohai and Hejian are the foundations that the general has won with great difficulty, we can't just throw them away!"

Guan Jing's sentence is to reassure everyone, they are organized people, according to the imperial edict, they are actually Liu Yu's subordinates, so there is no need to worry about being homeless.

Just when everyone's hearts were a little calm, two sergeants helped a sergeant who was almost unable to stand up to come in and shouted, "Report!!" Urgent military intelligence!! ”

Everyone's hearts tightened, could it be that Yuan Shao killed again?

"What's wrong?" Guan Jing asked.

"Qingzhou suddenly sent troops to attack Ling County, our army has few soldiers, Ling County... Lost! ”

"Who is leading the troops?"

"That man calls himself Pan Feng!"

"Pan Feng?" Guan Jing was taken aback and shouted, "Isn't this Han Fu's general?" Why did you get to Qingzhou? ”

On the side, Liu Weitai said, "I have heard that Han Fu was rescued by someone in Yecheng with a flying sphere, I am afraid it is a good thing that Ma Qiang did." ”

"It's a heater... In this way, Ma Qiang also wants Jizhou. Guan Jing rolled his eyes and said, "Okay!" Let them fight, if Ma Qiang can kill Yuan Shao, it can be regarded as avenging our general, and if he can't kill him, he can also resist the pursuing soldiers for us! ”

When everyone heard it, it was not us who suffered anyway.

"Wait for me to write a letter, tell Ma Qiang about the boundary bridge, and let this Qinghe country give it to him, now that the general is not there, our army has no threat to Qingzhou, but Yuan Shao, once it becomes bigger, its momentum is unstoppable, Ma Qiang will let us go to Bohai!"

Tian Kai and the others nodded to each other after hearing this, they really don't have the strength to compete with Ma Qiang anymore.

"I have to ask Liu to do this matter!"

Liu Weitai also knew that this matter was important, so he gave up his hand without prevarication.

- Ling County

"Hansheng has already taken Xiuxian, Gongsun Zhan actually left less than a thousand people there, he really pressed everything, and our army also captured a large amount of grain and grass materials."

Ma Qiang looked at the telegram and said to everyone in the main hall, "I don't know how the Battle of the Boundary Bridge ended. ”

"I think Gongsun Chan will tell us soon." Guo Jia said with a smile on the side.

While he was talking, a sergeant came in and reported, "Report to the Lord!" General Anton's Governor Shi Guanjing sent a letter! ”

"Guan Jing? Why isn't it Gongsun Chan? Ma Qiang frowned, could it be that this Gongsun Zhan was so arrogant that he didn't even want to pay for the letter?

Guo Jia's face changed suddenly, and he said with a gloomy face, "Duke Ming, Gongsun Zhan is probably dead." ”

What the?

"Let the Courier in!"

After a while, Liu Weitai walked in dressed in filial piety, and as soon as he came in, he cried and fell to the ground and said, "Ma Yuanjun, you want to avenge my general!! ”

？？？

Is Gongsun Chan really dead?

Ma Qiang stretched out his hand and said, "Hurry up, what's wrong with Gongsun Zhan?" ”

Liu Weitai wiped his tears and cried, "My general sent an edict from the Son of Heaven to crusade against the national thief Yuan Shao, but he didn't want Yuan Shao to be scheming and set up an ambush at the boundary bridge, and my general was unfortunately killed!"

If the general of my family is here, I will definitely be grateful to know that the envoy actually came to help us regardless of his previous suspicions! ”

Liu Weitai wiped his tears while peeking at Ma Qiang.

Ma Qiang was stunned for a moment when he heard this, this... What do you mean?

"Yes! My Ming Gong also heard that Yuan Shao rebelled against the imperial court and came to help General Anton, but it's a pity! Guo Jia immediately picked up the conversation on the side, and then gave Ma Qiang a color.

Ma Qiang looked at it, yes, since they are all acting, let's act.

"That's right! I was about to come to help General Gongsun, but unfortunately I was a step late! ”

Saying that, the three of them were all embarrassed, and those who didn't know thought that Ma Qiang had already formed an alliance with Gongsun Zhan.
