Chapter 674: The Shackles of the Heart
After this declaration was issued, many celebrities felt that Liu Yu was really benevolent, and he didn't care about the past with Gongsun Zhan, and persuaded his subordinates and Hu people, in short, Liu Yu's reputation was much better.
This made Liu Yu, a person whose reputation is more important than life, extremely happy, and most of the original thoughts about Gongsun Chan were gone, and he brushed his reputation with peace of mind, Liu Bei and Chen Xi were completely relieved after learning about it, and Gongsun Chan's trouble was much less.
In this way, there were fewer ways to eliminate Gongsun Zhan's prestige, and it was a little more difficult to judge and end Gongsun Zhan in Youbeiping.
Lu Bu's return to the north made the entangled trial see a glimmer of hope, although it was extremely difficult, but the trial of the place where the advance and retreat were inferior, after careful analysis, it was decided to give it a try.
After determining that there was a glimmer of hope, there was basically not much hesitation, and with loyalty to Yuan Shao, he handed over the military affairs of Youbeiping to Gao Gan and went on the road.
Gongsun Chan in Changli City stared at the masked man in a black robe in front of him who even covered his face with a particularly puzzled expression, it was not yet the time for Mount Tai to escort the grain, Gongsun Chan thought strangely.
It is said that at that time, when Tai Shici and Gan Ning took Liu Yu away, Gongsun Zhan's anger towards Liu Bei almost reached the full value, but after a few days, when Gongsun Zhan's mind began to clear, he understood that Liu Bei's actions were actually saving him!
It's a pity that Gongsun Chan's fortitude will not allow him to admit his mistakes, even if he knows that he has done wrong, but it is absolutely impossible to make Gongsun Chan admit his mistakes.
Because of this, Gongsun Chan thought that his relationship with Liu Bei would end here, after all, he wrote a letter to reprimand Liu Bei before, which could be regarded as a slap in the face. But later Gongsun Chan found out that Liu Bei actually explained the reason to him. And with practical actions, it was proved that Gongsun Zhan's investment was not wrong.
It's easy to put the icing on the cake, but it's hard to send charcoal in the snow. Because of this, Gongsun Chan has always felt that he owes Liu Bei in his mind, especially eating the grain that Liu Bei escorts on time every quarter, Gongsun Chan will silently think about how to repay Liu Bei.
What do you say about Gongsun Zhan, it is not so much that he is a prince all the way, but that he is a general, he has the plain zhì and personality that all generals should have, but he lacks the inconsistency that princes should have.
Whether it is romance or official history, or this world, Gongsun Zhan has borrowed troops from Liu Bei, and after borrowing it, he has not asked Liu Bei to return it, but compared to the original world. In this world, Gongsun Zhan's strength did not reach its peak when he borrowed troops, and he only borrowed 2,000 soldiers and horses, but in the sense of friends, he was already a very good friend.
This is the most commendable thing about Gongsun Zhan, he is indeed righteous, but as a general, Gongsun Chan has the same problems as most generals, irritable, and has no scruples after getting angry. And then one day it will be repaid.
The combination of these personalities is an extremely contradictory Gongsun Zhan, and it is precisely because of his righteousness that he will repay Liu Bei, because he knows it. The biggest support that Liu Bei can give him is money, food and materials, as for the soldiers and horses, unless Liu Bei is ready for a decisive battle with Yuan Shao.
And Gongsun Zan thought about it and found that he really had no chance to repay Liu Bei, he was Liu Bei's eldest brother before. sheltered Liu Bei, and now it is no longer needed. Liu Bei has become stronger, so powerful that it is even stronger than when his eldest brother was at his peak.
Gongsun Chan never paid attention to the grass ring in the afterlife. He pays attention to the brothers in this life, the grievances in this life, and the return in this life, and this is also the most painful place for Gongsun Zhan, he can think of how to repay Liu Bei, but this goes against Gongsun Zhan's belief all along.
When Gongsun Chan sat in Changli, he looked back on his life, whether it was the beginning of the great destruction of Karasuma in the northern part of the country, or the beginning of the White Horse, and the blood stained outside the Saiwai, his life can be said to be happy and hateful, including all the members of the White Horse Righteous Servants who died in battle, although Gongsun Chan regretted his decision, but he knew that he did not owe those righteous servants.
Baima Yicong is righteous, because the righteousness is attached to the elite of Gongsun Bogui, because he defeated the Hu people in the north and was recognized by the people of Youzhou, and then they were attached to his command because of his bravery, and he led him to leave a peaceful rear for Youzhou.
"The sky is the proof, the white horse is the testimony" this oath is the righteousness of the robe, but also the proof of his bravery, every member of the white horse is willing to follow him, willing to follow him with his life is because he has completed all the oaths of righteousness - he is here, and there is no worry in Youzhou.
Therefore, although Gongsun Chan was heartbroken by the death of the White Horse Yicong, he knew that he did not owe any of those righteous servants, and he had fulfilled the final oath for all the righteous servants, and in exchange for all the righteous servants, he entrusted his life to him.
Although he will regret it, after he defeated the Hu people in Northern Xinjiang and guarded Youzhou behind Yi Cong, Yi never said the word regret.
He only owes one person, that is Liu Bei, Gongsun Bogui is not stupid, he is just irritable, anger makes people lost, Gongsun Bogui's anger makes him ignore a lot of things, but it doesn't mean that he still doesn't know his mistakes when he is sober.
To repay Liu Bei is very simple and difficult for Gongsun Bogui, the simplicity lies in the fact that he has 30,000 Youzhou foot riders in Northern Xinjiang, and even west of Beiping on the right, which is his last hole card, which has been delivered to Tian Yu.
These infantry cavalry are only known to him and Tian Yu, and they are the last line of defense he uses to defend against the Hu people, as for Yuan Shao, there is almost no possibility that Zài will investigate it, unless Tian Yu himself says it, otherwise these infantry will only appear at the moment when the Hu people break the layers of defenses and set foot on the land of Youzhou one day.
This final defense handed over to Tian Yu is actually Gongsun Zhan's oath to the people of Youzhou and to the white horse, as long as he gives up his oath to the people of Youzhou, the white horse is righteous, and it is really simple to repay Liu Bei's kindness by relying on those 30,000 steps.
This is the most difficult for Gongsun Zhan, he can't let go of his oath, the white horse has been destroyed, but Gongsun Chan can't forget his oath to the robe Ze, he can't forget the oath to the people of Youzhou, he can't get rid of the shackles on his soul.
In fact, Gongsun Chan knew very well that as long as he ordered Tian Yu to go south to attack Yuan during the most intense period of the Yuan-Liu War before he died, it would be enough to repay all the favors.
At the same time, he was already dead, and the oath he had made had long since become the dust of history, and who would have remembered that he once stood on the head of Jicheng and swore that the Hu people would kill those who trespassed into Youzhou!
It's a pity to think about it, why did you listen to Liu Yu's miscellaneous hair in the first place, in fact, just kill them all. (To be continued......)
