In May, Changsha District Xingxing rebelled, but unfortunately, the eyes of the imperial court were attracted by Youzhou and Liangzhou at this time, and they didn't bother to pay attention to it at all. However, this can't blame the imperial court for looking down on Ou Xing, who let him only claim to have 10,000 troops when he raised his troops? If he shouted the slogan of 100,000 troops, the imperial court would definitely send someone to trouble him immediately.

However, at this time, there was indeed some crisis in Liangzhou and Youzhou, and after Ma Teng and Han Sui united with the Hanyang Famous and Powerful Kingdom, they immediately showed their courage to sweep Liangzhou. Especially Ma Teng, not only quickly occupied Longxi, but also took Wudu in just one month, that speed, even Han Sui, a veteran rebel, was ashamed of himself.

Moreover, although Ma Teng is a rebel, everywhere he goes, he does not endanger the people like other rebels, on the contrary, under Ma Teng's strict orders, Ma Teng's army can be said to have committed no crime against the people, and it was instantly sought after by a large number of people.

Well, in fact, after such a long period of rebellion, the people of Liangzhou don't care too much about whether the people who rule them are officers and soldiers or rebels, and they are willing to follow whoever can let them live a stable life.

Among them, Zhang Ning, Ma Teng's main room, also played a very important role. He personally inspected the place with his personal guards, and even helped to pacify the people. For a time, he was called a goddess.

On the other side, the situation in Youzhou seems to be much better than that in Liangzhou, but for Gongsun Zhan, the current situation is so bad that it can't be worse.

Liaoxi Guanzi City, Youzhou, Liaoxi here is not Liaoxi County, but the territory inhabited by the Xianbei tribe adjacent to Liaoxi County. However, because of the rebellion of Qiu Liju and others, as well as the civil strife in Xianbei, Xianbei in western and eastern Liaobei had already gone deep into the prairie to participate in the struggle for hegemony. Moreover, this place was directly occupied by the Wuhuan people.

"Alas, but I don't know how long it can last......" Gongsun Chan stood on the city wall, looking at the rebels below and couldn't help but sigh. At this time, where is Gongsun Chan's high-spirited appearance in the past? Tattered robes, bloodstained armor, dirty, but I don't know how long I haven't bathed. Of course, if you see more obvious dark circles under his eyes, you may have to ask how long it has been since he slept well.

In January last year, he was appointed by the imperial court as a Zhonglang general and a marquis of Duting, and stationed in western Liaoning. How high-spirited was he at that time? There is a sense of seeing the rebels as a meritorious achievement. So soon, he launched another war and fought with Zhang Chun, Zhang Ju, and Qiu Liju in Shimen, a subject country of Liaodong. As a result, Zhang Chun and others were defeated by Gongsun Zan and fled all the way to the Xianbei realm in western Liaoning.

In this regard, Gongsun Chan chased all the way, and the result was ...... Even now, by the way, nearly two hundred days have passed since Gongsun Chan entered Guanzi City and was besieged.

"Big brother......" A tired voice came, but it was Gongsun Fan.

"How? How much more grain is left? Gongsun Chan asked without replying.

"There isn't much, it's already the limit to last another 5 days, even if it's in the people's homes, there is no surplus food, unless it's ......" Gongsun Fan pursed his lips, his expression a little hesitant.

"Kill the horse?" When Gongsun Chan heard this, he directly helped Gongsun Fan to supplement.

"Not bad!" Gongsun Fan nodded.

Horses are undoubtedly very expensive strategic goods in this era, even in Youzhou, Bingzhou, and Liangzhou, which raise horses, they are also very valuable. There are also cows on the same level as horses, and only those dead horses and dead cows will be eaten and killed by people? I can't even think about it.

Especially those war horses, each of them are comrades-in-arms who have been fighting side by side with those soldiers for an unknown amount of time, killing horses and eating meat, who can do it?

It's just that......

"Then let's do it, it's not enough to just eat meat, start with the oldest horses!" Gongsun Chan pondered for a moment and said directly.

"No!" Gongsun Fan heard the words and left.

Gongsun Zhan continued to stand on the city wall and look out of the city, where the rebels led by Qiu Liju were located. "Even if you kill the horse, I'm afraid it won't last a few days, and when the time comes, you can really only depend on the will of heaven......" Gongsun Chan thought helplessly.

More than ten days passed, and the food in Guanzi City was finally exhausted. In fact, even if you kill a horse, it can't replace the role of food at all, but it can make people eat as little food as possible, and they have some strength.

"So...... Ladies and gentlemen, success or failure is once again in one fell swoop! Gongsun Chan looked around at everyone and said loudly. Just now, he gathered all the soldiers and told them to eat up the last bit of food.

Breakthrough! This is the method that Gongsun Chan thought of when he had no choice, because he had never been a person who liked to wait for death, and now if he continued to defend it, there was no difference between waiting for death. Even if breaking out of the siege looks no different from sending him to death, in his eyes, it is at least better than staying in the city and waiting for death.

As for submissions? This idea never appeared in Gongsun Zhan's mind at all, after all, surrendering to the rebels...... Then Gongsun Chan might as well commit suicide directly.

But at this moment, an exclamation suddenly came from the city wall, "The enemy has retreated!" The enemy is back! ”

"What?!" Gongsun Zan turned his head in shock when he heard this, and then reacted and quickly ran towards the city wall, and behind him, Gongsun Fan and others also followed anxiously.

In a short time they went up the wall, and when they looked out, they saw that the troops of the Chuliju were indeed pulling out their camp and preparing to leave.

"Why did they quit?" Gongsun Fan still seems to be a little confused.

"I guess they don't have much food and grass, or ...... That Liu Yu has already arrived in Youzhou. Gongsun Chan said in a deep voice. Although the enemy retreated, he didn't have to lead the army to break through to the death, but his expression was still solemn, because ...... Liu Yu is here.

In the past, the reason why Gongsun Zhan continued to pursue and chased all the way to the territory of the Xianbei people in western Liaoxi was not really completely empty-sighted, but among them, there was also hope to quell the Youzhou rebellion in one fell swoop, and give Liu Yu, the Youzhou pastor appointed by the imperial court, a dismount.

Because unlike others, Liu Yu used to be the assassin of Youzhou, and he has a great reputation in Youzhou. Whether it is the Xianbei people or Wuhuan people in western and eastern Liaoning, or even the farther Fuyu, Haoqian and other foreign races, they are also extremely in awe of Liu Yu, and the people are very supportive of Liu Yu. At that time, Gongsun Zhan was still the county magistrate of Zhuo County, and he remembered this very well.

And now Liu Yu is staring at the title of Youzhou Mu to take office, once he arrives, where can Gongsun Chan be as free as he is now? must be restrained by Liu Yu. Therefore, Gongsun Zhan would rather go deep alone, and also planned to eliminate the Youzhou rebels in one fell swoop, but now......
