Chapter 24: To Each His Own Mind
Gongsun Zhan's words were beyond everyone's expectations, they all knew that Gongsun Chan was greedy for life and afraid of death, and he surrendered to the Yellow Turban Army before, just to save his life.
Then what he said just now was a complete rebellion.
Yan Liang couldn't believe what he had just said at the moment, it actually came from the mouth of a prince.
So he looked at Gongsun Chan with both eyes, and said coldly, "Gongsun Chan, I hope what you just said is the nonsense you said in a hurry." If that's the case, Yan can act as if nothing happened. You and I will continue to unite and protect this Youzhou City together. ”
"Lord, could you please give me a reasonable explanation?"
Even Guan Yu felt extremely angry, when the three of them took refuge in Gongsun Zhan, they took a fancy to Gongsun Zhan's attitude of thinking about the people.
But at this moment, he is completely different.
Faced with Yan Liang and Guan Yu's inquiries, Gongsun Chan did not answer, but looked directly at his 20,000 soldiers and horses.
said coldly, "My father asked you to deal with Yan Liang and them, what are your dissatisfactions?" ”
Originally, there was no voice that should have been excited, scolding Gongsun Zhan for doing something wrong, and they directly turned the weapons in their hands and pointed them at Yan Liang and them.
They didn't hesitate to do this, as if they had discussed it beforehand.
Seeing this scene, the soldiers brought by Yan Liang suddenly became agitated.
After all, they are all new recruits, and half of them are former Yellow Turbans.
Originally, they saw Gongsun Zhan's army on their side, and the numerical advantage gave them a lot of confidence.
But now the wind is turning, and the comrades who were a few minutes ago have now become enemies.
They all felt that they were stupid and had come home, and they had worked tirelessly to support Gongsun Zhan.
In the end, he was calculated by Gongsun Zhan, which is really a thousand miles away.
And Gongsun Zhan was also worried that Zhang Fei would suddenly kill him, and like that Qiao Zhong, he was surrounded by his own subordinates.
At the same time, he said to Guan Yu and the others, "Guan Yu, you listen to me, my father loves talents, and I can't bear to hurt you." As long as you give up your obsession with resisting the Yellow Turbans, I can give you another chance to take no blame for your previous mistakes. ”
Guan Yu and the three of them didn't say a word at the moment, just glanced at each other.
Guan Yu smiled and said, "Haha, two virtuous brothers, I didn't expect that the oath we said at the beginning of the worship would be fulfilled so quickly." ”
Zhao Yun replied, "Yes, since this is the case, we will go to Huangquan together." ”
Zhang Fei also said indifferently: "Yes! It's just that before that, we are going to turn him upside down. ”
Guan Yu looked at the two of them and said, "I hurt you, and I didn't find a wise lord." Alright, let's do it! ”
Zhang Fei and the three of them killed Gongsun Zan together.
Gongsun Chan was so frightened that he hurriedly shouted, "You are looking for death, kill them for me." ”
After that, a large number of soldiers and horses came towards Guan Yu and them.
At this moment, there was also the sound of soldiers rushing behind him, and just when he thought it was the Yellow Turban Army that was coming, he saw that it was reinforcements sent by Yan Liang.
Yan Liang's army did not directly participate in the battle, because he also had to be wary of whether the Yellow Turban Army would take advantage of the weakness.
Xu Shu on Yan Liang's side said, "The courage of these three generals is really rare in the world. If we can take this opportunity to take them under our command and serve the lord, it will definitely be a great addition to the lord. ”
Yan Liang only sent thousands of men and horses to the rescue, and they were all new soldiers, and in the face of Gongsun Zhan's army, the decline was gradually revealed.
Yan Liang said, "Strategist, the current situation is not favorable for us, how should we deal with it, after destroying Gongsun Zhan's troops with the power of thunder, we will fight the Yellow Turban Army; Or fight the Yellow Turban Army first, and then fight Gongsun Zhan? ”
Xu Shu looked at the situation in front of him and said, "Right now, no matter who we attack, it will be unfavorable to us. And don't forget, there are also Cao Cao's reinforcements that did not arrive. Once we lose all three times, wouldn't that give him a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? ”
At the moment, the Yellow Turban Army did not make any move, just stood there quietly, watching the two sides fight.
It was completely using 20,000 people to consume Yan Liang's 40,000 troops.
Of course, Gongsun Chan was not a fool, and he did not let all the soldiers kill those reinforcements.
If he does this, then Yan Liang will definitely attack him with the whole army, once his 20,000 horses are finished, can he continue to be in charge of this Youzhou City?
So these 20,000 people are the capital of his bargaining with the Yellow Turban Army.
With 20,000 people, Zhang Jiao will think about him more or less; Once his men are wiped out in this war, then he will be a fart to the Yellow Turbans.
And all of this was seen by Xu Shu, and he asked the troops who were fighting with Gongsun Zhan to come back first, and at the same time brought Guan Yu and them over.
After a few brief words between the two sides, they did not speak.
From this moment on, the three parties formed a confrontation pattern in the shape of "Pin", guarding against each other, but none of them took the lead in attacking.
What Qiao Zhong wants to do most now is to enter Youzhou City. But with Yan Liang and them, he couldn't get in at all.
Because tens of thousands of troops entered the city, it was impossible to enter the city without half an hour, and if Yan Liang and them suddenly launched an attack at this time, they would definitely suffer heavy losses.
And he can also see that Gongsun Chan is not the kind of person who fights with Yan Liang in order to protect the Yellow Turban Army from entering the city.
So he said, "Brother Gongsun, we don't have to waste time here, we have an absolute advantage in numbers, and we can directly eliminate Yan Liang and them in one go, and we can enter the city." And you don't have to worry about Yuan Shao and they will retaliate, to tell you the truth, when you occupy Youzhou, the next thing is Yuan Shao's base camp - Jizhou. ”
After Yan Liang listened, he snorted coldly, "Even so, then we have to see if you have a chance to live to that time." ”
Qiao Zhong smiled: "Do I have a chance?" I don't know, but you don't have that chance. ”
After speaking, with a wave of his right hand, the army on his side killed Yan Liang and them.
Seeing this, Yan Liang directly ordered someone to come to a round of "Ten Thousand Arrows Volley".
Dense bows and arrows rose into the air, and shot extremely quickly at the Yellow Turban Army.
It's just that the Yellow Turban Army who came this time, although the number of people is not as large as Zhao Dong's, but in terms of equipment, it has risen a notch.
directly took out their shields to resist, but they were forced by the rain of arrows to stop moving forward, and originally planned to wait for the opponent's bow and arrow to finish shooting before attacking.
After a while, the bows and arrows were gone, but they blocked the shield in front of them, and they couldn't see what Yan Liang's army on the other side of the shield was doing.
At this moment, someone behind him suddenly shouted, "Run!" ”
And these people, without knowing why, took their shields away and saw large stones falling on their heads.
Some people fled directly, and some people even tried to resist with shields, and finally they were crushed under the stones with shields.
In the end, there was another volley of bows and arrows, and the Yellow Turbans didn't have the heart to resist at all, so they were all shot as hedgehogs.
The first attack of the Yellow Turbans ended in failure.
