An hour later, night fell completely, but Shangcai City was a torch under the night. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

After the Holy Beast Vermilion Bird vented its lustful power for an hour, it naturally withdrew, and many of the various fire-based super spells it released had long been extinguished. However, Shangcai City, which was ignited by Suzaku, was not so easy to extinguish.

When the whole city was set on fire, it seemed that even the stones in the city were burning, and the light of the fire shone through the night sky; The high temperature makes the early spring nights far hotter than the summer nights.

Since Shangcai City was burned, Hao Meng ordered the soldiers to retreat ten miles and camp.

With such a high temperature, even if they are ten miles away, they can feel a wave of heat rushing towards their faces, and if they don't retreat ten miles back and camp, Hao Meng and they will be scorched if they don't do it themselves.

The fire burned for almost three days and three nights.

After the fire was exhausted, Shangcai City was wiped out of the Han territory. The city wall of twelve or thirteen zhang high, at this time, the remnants of Huan broke the arm, and the high place was only three or two zhang high, all of which were glazed.

In the city, the ashes are everywhere, pavilions, residential roads, and they are not visible; Even the ponds and wells in the city were all dried up at this time, and as for the original population of the city, it was now impossible to tell who was who was from the ashes.

In the green smoke, the soldiers who entered the city to check on them looked shocked and disbelievable.

The obscenity of the holy beast Suzaku can be seen from this.

On that day, Dong Zhuo's Meiwu was in ruins, not to mention today's Shangcai City?

……

It's another year of Qingming season, the southern country is raining, but the northern country has just thawed for a long time.

Wei County, outside Liyang City, Gongsun Zhan's camp.

Since the promulgation of the eldest princess's decree, the tearing of Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao has been suspended. In front of the throne, the enemy can cooperate temporarily.

Especially when Yuan Shu died, before everyone beat Cao Cao, he took the lead in becoming the emperor, which allowed everyone to find another opportunity to be crowned king.

As a result, Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao continued to negotiate, trying to borrow the road from Jizhou to the south, whether it was to destroy Cao Cao or Yuan Shu, he Gongsun Chan could be crowned king.

After ceding Daijun and Shanggu County, Gongsun Chan sent another 3,000 good horses, and Yuan Shaocai let go of a hole and allowed Gongsun Chan to borrow the road from Jizhou to the south.

This time, Gongsun Chan went south, bringing only 3,000 white horse servants from the headquarters, as well as tens of thousands of light horsemen, and 30,000 infantry troops. All the way to the south, at this time around the Qingming Festival, it is only enough to reach the Yellow River outside the city of Liyang.

Crossing the Yellow River from Liyang is the boundary of Yanzhou's East County that Hao Meng has just captured. As for whether Hao Meng will allow borrowing at that time, it is not in Gongsun Zhan's consideration.

The princes of the world are all in Qinwang, and Hao Meng, as the initiator, actually refuses to borrow the way, is this to take the credit alone?

At this time, Gongsun Zhan, who was in the camp outside Liyang City, didn't know that the puppet emperor Yuan Shu had been burned to ashes by Hao Meng's summoning Suzaku a few days ago, or if he had been burned to ashes with his puppet capital Shangcaicheng.

……

At night, in the camp, Gongsun Chan sat on the main seat, on the right were Tian Kai, Yan Gang and other civil officials, but on the left stood more than 20 generals.

Among the generals, although Zhao Yun is strong, he is not in the first place, but Gongsun Fan, Gongsun Du and others are in the first place.

These are all fierce people from the Gongsun family in Liaodong and Liaoxi, their strength may not be as strong as Zhao Zilong, but in terms of loyalty to Gongsun Zhan, it is really not comparable to others.

Gongsun Zhan looked at the ministers in the tent, and said after a while: "Ladies and gentlemen, most of Yuan Shao's 100,000 troops have crossed the Yellow River, and there are only more than 10,000 people left in Liyang City. ”

"Tell me, can we miss such a great opportunity?"

Hearing this, the generals in the tent looked at each other, didn't they say that they were going south to destroy the puppet emperor Yuan Shu, how could it have anything to do with the number of Yuan Shao's garrisons?

Tian Kai arched his hand and said: "The lord is going to destroy him on a false path?" ”

Gongsun Chan touched his saber and said with a smile, "Not bad!" ”

"Yuan Benchu relied on his strength to occupy so many cities in our Youzhou, and today he happened to settle with him."

Yan Gang admonished: "My lord, Yuan Shu usurped the throne and became the emperor, when we borrowed the way from Yuan Benchu and went south, it was to destroy Yuan Shu. Now the lord ignores Yuan Shu, but wants to destroy Yuan Shao first, I'm afraid that it can't be justified morally, right? ”

Glancing at Yan Gang, Gongsun Zan asked rhetorically, "Yuan Shu has been the emperor for a while, right?" Who were the closest princes to Runan? I'm afraid that our army has just entered Runan County, and Yuan Shu has been wiped out for a long time! ”

"When we go south, Yuan Shao can lend us the way; But when he returns, will Yuan Shao still lend us the way? ”

"Even if Yuan Shao still borrows us when he returns, will he take the opportunity to ambush and stab him in the back?"

"In this case, we might as well strike first, come to a false way to destroy Yu, and just take the opportunity to seize Jizhou!"

At this point, Tian Kai and Yan Gang couldn't stop it, and the generals glanced at each other, and at the same time bowed down and said: "But according to the lord's orders!" ”

As he was talking, a fire suddenly broke out outside the camp, and the sound of fighting came.

Soon, one of the lieutenants on duty today broke in. "Lord, Yuan Shao's army has suddenly surrounded and killed!"

Gongsun Zhan couldn't hold his stand anymore, and stood up in surprise: "What, isn't there only 10,000 troops around Yuan Shao?" How dare he attack my battalion? ”

As he spoke, everyone rushed out of the tent in an instant.

Gongsun Zhan's entire camp was on fire on all sides, and from time to time there were fireballs in the sky, and when they fell into the camp, there was a sea of fire, which was a canister of fire thrown by a trebuchet. There were also rains of arrows coming into the camp.

Several entrances and exits of the camp are also fighting.

……

It's a little bit of time ahead.

Inside Liyang City, looking at Gongsun Zhan's camp outside the city, Yuan Shao's eyes flashed with fierce light.

"Lord, everything is arranged, just wait for the lord's order, and the fall of Gongsun Chan will be tonight!" Xu You stood beside Yuan Shao, and Zhizhu was in his hand.

Yuan Shao touched his beard with one arm, and said hatefully: "Hmph, even if his Gongsun Zan can escape tonight's interception, he can't escape our layers of interception and killing all the way back to Youzhou!" ”

"General Ben was worried about how to capture Youzhou, but he didn't expect this Gongsun Chan to send it to the door by himself. It's true that there is a way in heaven that he doesn't go, but there is no door to hell, but he wants to break in! ”

"Do you really think that General Ben's 100,000 troops have crossed the Yellow River?"

Speaking of this, Yuan Shao looked at the starry sky, and then sighed: "I can only hate my brother's short road wisdom, and he is not good at unifying Yuzhou, but he wants to usurp the throne and become the emperor." ”

"If our brothers join forces, this big Han Jiangshan will not be our old Yuan family sooner or later?"

"When Gongsun Zan is destroyed, our army will just cross the river, and destroy Hao Meng's house by the way, which can be regarded as comforting my brother's spirit in the sky."

Xu You sighed beside him: "No one thought that Hao Meng was so cruel. More than 100,000 soldiers and civilians in Shangcai City have been reduced to ashes! ”

At that time, the influence of the fourth and third dukes of the Yuan family was not a joke, and many princes did not know that Yuan Shu had been burned to ashes by Hao Meng, but Yuan Shao had already received the news.

Otherwise, Yuan Shao would not have made a move so early to intercept and kill Gongsun Zhan. In Yuan Shao's plan, if he wants to kill Gongsun Zhan, he has to wait until he returns!
