While Liu Yu was busy dealing with internal problems, the battle between Cao Cao and Yuan Shu also had results.

In order to defeat Cao Cao, Yuan Shu frantically used the advantage of the sea of people to attack Cao Cao.

Although Cao Cao's army was elite, it was much less than Yuan Shu in terms of numbers, and even if two were exchanged for one, Cao Cao would suffer a lot.

However, Cao Cao firmly suppressed Yuan Shu in terms of tactics and generals. Cao Cao decisively divided his troops and harassed Yuan Shu's grain route.

After a stalemate between the two sides for a period of time, Yuan Shu was forced to withdraw due to lack of food and grass.

Cao Cao repelled Yuan Shu, but his own losses were great, in addition to the casualties of the soldiers, the economy and people's livelihood in the Yingchuan area were destroyed by Yuan Shu.

Cao Cao had a headache to death, so he had to start learning from Liu Yu and didn't dare to send troops at will.

And Yuan Shao's attack on Gongsun Chan in the north also had results.

Yuan Shao figured out the routine that Cao Cao and Liu Yu would not send troops, and attacked Youzhou at a very fast speed.

In order to defend Youzhou, Gongsun Zhan also worked hard, gathered all the men over the age of ten and under sixty in Youzhou, and issued weapons to fight against Yuan Shao, and even used his life to block Yuan Shao's attack.

Yuan Shao is not the kind of benevolent person, he doesn't care about the life and death of these grass people, the army passes by, as long as there is an obstacle, they will crush the past.

In this way, Gongsun Chan was tragic, and he was powerless to stop Yuan Shao.

Gongsun Chan sent several distress letters to Liu Yu, but Liu Yu did not reply once. Gongsun Chan understood that Liu Yu would not come to rescue him like last time, and seemed a little desperate.

The word dog jumping off the wall in a hurry is not an exaggeration to describe Gongsun Chan now. Since he was already destined to be destroyed by Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zhan, who was almost killed by Yuan Shao last time, was also ruthless and wanted to make Yuan Shao's flesh hurt. Gongsun Zhan gathered all the soldiers and horses and prepared to fight Yuan Shao to the death.

Of course, Yuan Shao understood Gongsun Zhan's intentions, but he had to fight Gongsun Chan directly. The reason is that Yuan Shao is afraid.

Yuan Shao was worried that Liu Yu, who had shrunk up, would suddenly come again like last time, and then he would lose more than he gained.

Liu Yu actually thought about saving Gongsun Zan again, but he also considered that if he angered Yuan Shao, he would be angry and constantly attack the state, which would not be good for Liu Yu. After calculating the gains and losses, Liu Yu could only stand up to Gongsun Zhan.

Yuan Shao chose the decisive battle of Gongsun Zhan, and Gongsun Chan understood that this would be his final curtain call.

The two sides fought for three days and nights, and finally Yuan Shao relied on a large number of soldiers and won the victory.

More than half of Gongsun Zhan's troops were killed or wounded, and many soldiers even fled. At the last moment of Gongsun Zhan, there were a few loyal white horse servants left by his side. And Yuan Shao's army had already surrounded him.

Gongsun Zhan was covered in blood, he had already killed a lot of Yuan Jun, and he was also injured in many places.

"Gongsun Bogui, surrender. You don't have any way back. Yuan Shao said in high spirits.

"Yuan Benchu, the eldest husband is not afraid of death. Don't humiliate me. Gongsun Chan said with a serious face.

Yuan Shao didn't expect Gongsun Chan to refute himself like this, and waved his hand for the archers to prepare.

Gongsun Zhan lifted his helmet, wiped the blood on his face with his cloak, pulled out his sword, and rushed towards Yuan Jun. Several white horse servants behind him also followed his footsteps and rushed over.

The Yuan army fired thousands of arrows, and Gongsun Zhan, a famous general of the White Horse, died with ten thousand arrows through his heart.

Yuan Shao looked at the dead Gongsun Zan and was speechless for a long time.

Gongsun Zhan was killed in battle, and Yuan Shao unified the entire north of the Yellow River except for the annexed states.

Although Gongsun Chan caused a lot of trouble to Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao respected Gongsun Chan and buried Gongsun Chan according to the courtesy of the Marquis, recognizing Gongsun Chan's merits. Yuan Shao is still impeccable in terms of life.

When the news reached Luoyang, Liu Yu was also silent for a long time. Sun Jian, Gongsun Zan and other people known to Liu Yu were gradually swallowed up by this troubled world, and they didn't know who would be next.

Liu Yu and Gongsun Chan can be said to be allies, and Liu Yu didn't say anything about his death.

So Liu Yu held a grand memorial service for Gongsun Zan in Luoyang. Zhao Yun is a subordinate of Gongsun Zhan, and he directly wears filial piety for Gongsun Zhan.

Liu Yu was pleased with Zhao Yunzhongyi.

But Liu Yu thought that Zhao Yun had borrowed it from Gongsun Zhan, and now that Gongsun Chan was dead, what should he do if Zhao Yun wanted to leave and he didn't agree. Liu Yu was entangled, did he want to watch Zhao Yun leave?

But at the moment, Zhao Yun's posture, everyone can see that Zhao Yun cares very much about Gongsun Zhan's death, and Liu Yu is not good at talking about some sensitive topics at this sensitive time.

After the memorial service, Liu Yu couldn't wait to find Zhao Yun.

"Zilong, Brother Bogui is dead. This king can't be rescued, and I'm a little guilty. Liu Yu said reproachfully.

Zhao Yun said with a sad face: "The prince doesn't have to blame himself, the death of the lord is also forced by the situation, no wonder anyone." ”

Liu Yu also sighed sadly, and then changed his words and said, "I don't know what Zilong plans to do next?" ”

"I don't know what to do next." Zhao Yun looked at Liu Yu's eager eyes, and was quite moved in his heart. In fact, he was not so popular with Gongsun Zhan, and the reason for following Gongsun Chan was also to fight against foreign clans and contribute to the people. Now that Gongsun Chan is dead and his descendants are nowhere to be found, Zhao Yun really doesn't know where to go.

Liu Yu was excited, this was a great opportunity, and hurriedly said, "Zilong." This king admires you very much, why don't you stay under this king's command? ”

In fact, Zhao Yun is also thinking about this issue now, Liu Yu is really good to Zhao Yun, not only shushing the cold every day, but also handing over the responsibility of his eldest son, the martial arts teacher, to him. Zhao Yun said that he was not moved, it was fake. Dian Wei, Lu Bu and other generals in the army did not treat him as an outsider, which made Zhao Yun feel a different feeling in Gongsun Zhan. But no matter what he says, he is Gongsun Zhan's subordinate, and he can't be too active in Liu Yu.

Liu Yu is really a master, from the scope of the territory, the size of the army, and the attitude of the people towards Liu Yu, it has been proved that Liu Yu is a person worth following. Now that Gongsun Chan is dead, the loyalty in Zhao Yun's heart has also lost the last line of defense.

"The prince is the master of the clouds. If the prince does not dislike it, Zhao Zilong's life will be handed over to the prince. Zhao Yun said sincerely.

Liu Yu blinked, and Zhao Yun agreed so happily, which made Liu Yu a little unable to react.

Liu Yu was silent, so that Zhao Yun discovered his shortcomings, and he was ready to worship Liu Yu, and called Liu Yu the prince, which really shouldn't be.

Zhao Yun knelt on his knees, arched his hand and said, "The last general, Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong, meet the lord!" ”

Liu Yu finally reacted, helped Zhao Yun up, and said with a smile: "With Zilong to help, this king is like a tiger with wings." ”
