Chapter 671: Awareness
After Gongsun Zhan said that, he went directly to the city without looking back, and returned to the palace to gather all the civil and military forces under his command.
Sitting on the dragon chair, Gongsun Zhan looked at the civil and military forces with different expressions on both sides below, bowing his head and eyes, and felt ashamed and ashamed. Now in a desperate situation, he has woken up from his original madness, thinking back to the time after the defeat in the Battle of the Boundary Bridge, he is really ashamed of the group of brothers under his command.
In the past, they were a group of brave people who were extremely loyal and righteous, and even Guan Jing, who liked to slap horses the most, had a loyal heart. But now they have lived up to their original high-spirited and unrestrained state, but are depressed and have no fighting spirit.
Gongsun Chan knew that it was not their fault, but because of his previous cold-blooded madness, which caused the belief in their hearts to collapse. Otherwise, even if they are also facing the current situation, they will not be like this, and they will still be fearless and clamoring to attack.
"Yuan Benchu's army is pressing, and he is about to come to Yijing, what is the best strategy for you?" Gongsun Chan said in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty, Yuan Benchu was menacing and the soldiers were fierce, and a hard attack was not a good strategy. For now, the plan should be to hold on, and send a small force of cavalry to harass them, and when they run out of food, they will naturally retreat. Everyone waited for a long time, and found that Tian Yu had been standing in place with his eyes closed, and had no intention of speaking, Guan Jing stood up and said.
And the rest of the people bowed their heads and were silent, they also thought that what Guan Jing said was good. Of course, it would be better if they could remove the second half of the sentence, they are not willing to send troops to fight.
Seeing the silence of the civil and military forces below, a trace of disappointment flashed in Gongsun Zhan's eyes.
"Well, as you say. However, our cavalry is still undertrained, and it is feared that there will be trouble if it is sent out in a hurry, so it is better not to send it out, and to defend this Jixian county. Guan Jing, you are the commander, garrison this wall for me, and don't let anyone approach. I am stationed in the palace in the rear, and if anything happens, I will come to my aid immediately. Gongsun Chan said in a deep voice.
"No!"
A hint of disappointment flashed in everyone's eyes. In their eyes, Gongsun Chan was timid and just wanted to protect himself, leaving their brothers outside to fight, but he was cowering in the palace. However, only Guan Jing looked at Tian Yu, who was silent and unbearable, and felt something.
"Your Majesty!"
In the palace, looking at Gongsun Zhan, who was bowing his head and wiping his sword, Tian Yu said softly.
"You're not leaving? Yuan Benchu will be here soon! Gongsun Chan said calmly, but his tone was mixed with urging and dissatisfaction.
"The minister will not leave, and Bai Ma Yi will never go." Tian Yu smiled slightly.
On Gongsun Zhan's lowered face, the corners of his mouth pulled slightly: "If you don't go, will you die with me?" It's stupid. ”
"Do you remember the slogan of the White Horse Righteous Servant, Your Majesty?"
"Where righteousness goes, life and death go hand in hand. The sky can be learned, and the white horse is the proof. Gongsun Chan smiled bitterly and said, "It's a pity that the current I am no longer worthy of the White Horse Righteous Servant." ”
"If Your Majesty is not worthy, is there anyone else in this world who is worthy?" Tian Yu said resolutely: "Bai Ma Yi was born because of His Majesty, and he should fight for His Majesty." Where righteousness goes, is life and death an empty word? Today's His Majesty is still the original White Horse General, and has never changed, and the White Horse is willing to follow His Majesty to death. ”
What's the point? It doesn't matter if it's a sacrifice. You are alive, and you can still look at this secluded state and the grasslands in the north for me, there is no need to do such a stupid thing for me as a dying person. Gongsun Chan sighed lightly.
"The northern grasslands have been pacified by Your Majesty, and there are more than 300 righteous servants on Yuan Highway, which is enough to inherit the will of the white horse righteous servants. I have no worries, but I beg to die with Your Majesty. Tian Yu said stubbornly.
"Okay. If you want to stay, stay. Gongsun Zhan's dim eyes reappeared, and the corners of his mouth also hooked up a confident smile: "But it's a pity that I can't burn this fire." Even if Bai Ma Yi dies, he can only die on the way to charge, and this time I will take you through this last journey. ”
Looking at Gongsun Zhan, who was as radiant as he was back then, and his face was confident and arrogant, Tian Yu showed a look of nostalgia on his face, and muttered: "Your Majesty..."
"You're right, the white horse is still the white horse, I am still me. It's just a failure, how can I collapse? However, there are only tens of thousands of foot soldiers, and there are white horses to follow, and I have nothing to fear! You also secretly listen to Yuan Shaojun's movements, especially Yuan Shao's position and situation, and I want to have a final battle with him Yuan Benchu. Gongsun Chan said flamboyantly.
"No!" Tian Yu said in a deep voice, then got up and slowly retreated.
Gongsun Chan gently shook the yellow silk silk that was wiping the sword and threw it in the air, and then his right hand moved quickly, only to see a white light flash, the silk was divided into two, and slowly fell to the ground, and the wiped sword had been returned to the scabbard at some point.
However, Gongsun Zhan, who had done all this in the blink of an eye, exhaled slightly, got up and returned to the inner room, and after opening the secret room and mechanism, he took out a square-shaped item wrapped in golden silk - the jade seal of the country.
The silk is opened to reveal the jade heirloom with gold inlays made of jade. Looking at the eight words "Ordered by Tianji Shou Yongchang" on the jade seal, feeling the faint flow of energy in it, Gongsun Zhan's face gradually became resolute, and the hands holding the jade seal gradually became stronger.
"Inherit the jade seal of the country, and you can get the world. Since I can't get the world, let this heirloom jade seal bloom on me with the last brilliance and help me. ”
......
Tian Yu, who had left the palace, stood at the gate of the palace, and suddenly said to an open space: "Come out." ”
A figure suddenly appeared in this empty position, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, it is worthy of the national envoy, and it was discovered by you so easily." ”
"You don't have much to hide, so why do you say such things." Faced with Guan Jing's praise, Tian Yu said unceremoniously: "Do you know that trespassing into the palace is a serious crime?" If Your Majesty finds out, you..."
"What can I do?" Guan Jing changed his usual sleek and timid, unceremoniously interrupted Tian Yu's duties, and chuckled.
When Tian Yu heard this, his eyes instantly dimmed a little, and he was silent for a moment. Then he looked at Guan Jing again: "What are you doing this for?" ”
Guan Jing looked at the towering gate of the Yan Emperor Palace, and said pointedly: "I just want to know if my guess is correct, so I sneaked out secretly to verify it." ”
"And then? What are you going to do now? Tian Yu asked.
"It's a bit of a bad situation indeed. Originally, I planned to surrender to Yuan Shao, but with the current situation, it seems that I still have to accompany His Majesty for the last ride. Guan Jing said with a smile.
