The one who ambushed Gongsun Chan on the shore of Laishui was naturally the 7,000 infantry brought by Liu He from Jicheng, even if Gongsun Chan still had 10,000 troops at that time, but when facing Liu He, who occupied a favorable terrain, he could not give full play to his numerical advantage at all.

Laishui was called Juma River in later generations, and it can be seen that the width and depth of the river are not comparable to ordinary small river ditches. Liu He had a military adviser Guo Jia to give him advice, and deliberately chose the place to intercept Gongsun Chan at the place where Laishui bent to the east, just waiting for Gongsun Chan.

Gongsun Zhan threw the corpses of nearly a thousand soldiers in Laishui, and turned around in a panic to join Shan Jing, he originally planned to risk his life to break through in the direction of Guangchang, but Xu Rong led the army one step ahead to cut off his retreat.

When Gongsun Chan was blocked in the east, south, and west, he immediately led his army to break through to the north, but Zhang He had already expected that as soon as Xu Rong's infantry surrounded him, he immediately led the army to move in the northeast direction, waiting in the road where Gongsun Chan fled northward.

Cavalry siege is not as good as infantry, but if it pursues and intercepts the enemy, it will become a nightmare for the infantry.

Gongsun Chan was like a beast hunted by people at this time, no matter which direction he escaped, there was always a clever hunter who dug a trap in front of him and waited for him.

As the three-way army slowly approached from different directions, the space that Gongsun Chan could move and transfer became smaller and smaller, and finally he gritted his teeth and turned around again and rushed eastward, preparing to break the net with Liu He, who was guarding Laishui.

However, what Gongsun Chan didn't expect was that Liu He didn't stick to Laishui and didn't move his nest, he seemed to be sure that Gongsun Chan would definitely turn around and come back, so he buried countless thistles on the road to Laishui......

How bad is thistle? People who have used it say "good"!

The grievance in Gongsun Zhan's heart, he couldn't find anyone to talk to. Obviously, Liu He has completely occupied the initiative on the battlefield, and he didn't forget to use thistle terrestris to yin himself at the last moment, in short, he refused to fight to the death with him.

Of course, Liu He would not tell Gongsun Chan that he would take a big risk of taking 7,000 infantry from Jicheng, as long as he could stop Gongsun Chan west of Laishui. The task has been completed, and he will immediately lead the army back to Jicheng to prevent the empty nest from being wiped out.

After Liu He withdrew from Laishui, Sun Li, who had already captured the state of Laishui, immediately led his army to replace Liu He, and Zhang Zhan, who stayed at Wuruan Pass, also sent a small number of soldiers to feint in the upper reaches of Laishui, in short, it was to make Gongsun Zhan feel that his retreat was completely cut off, and now the only way to get out is Feihukou.

Gongsun Zhan, who was forced to go to the sky without a ladder and had no way to enter the ground, was determined to have a bloody battle with Xu Rongjun, who led the soldiers to encircle and suppress, but unfortunately Xu Rong did not want to exchange his life with him. He even confronted Gongsun Zhan's army with the help of a temporarily built camp.

On the way of Gongsun Zhan's retreat to the east, there were countless iron thistles blocking the way, Zhang He's cavalry in the north, Xu Rong's infantry blocking the road in the west, and the rolling Taihang Mountains in the south!

Gongsun Zhan's grain route had long been cut off by Liu He, and at this time, the morale of the army was low, and the grain and grass carried by the army could only barely eat for five days.

At a critical juncture, Gongsun Chan made a decision to break the wrist of a strong man. He asked Guan Jinghe Shan Jing to lead more than 10,000 soldiers to carry only two days' of food and charge Xu Rongjun regardless of casualties, while he himself led 2,000 infantry to carry three days' rations squeezed out of the mouths of more than 10,000 soldiers, and ventured into the vast Taihang Mountains.

Three days of rations for 10,000 people. It can feed 2,000 people for half a month, and these 2,000 people originally had a five-day ration, so when Gongsun Chan entered the mountain, he brought a ration that could be eaten for 2,000 people for 20 days.

Guan Jing and Shan Jing waited until Gongsun Zhan withdrew into the mountains. didn't last a day, and surrendered to Xu Rong.

Gongsun Zhan's intention was to force more than 10,000 soldiers to fight with Xu Rong by running off food, and then snatch food from the enemy. As a result, Xu Rong did not wait for Guan Jing and Shan Jing to come and fight with him, but took the initiative to shout and express his willingness to provide them with food, but the premise was that everyone had to lay down their arms.

At this time, Gongsun Chan had already fled with the most loyal Lingzhi soldiers, and the remaining soldiers had no hope of escaping, who would continue to work for him on the premise that he could eat enough without paying for his life?

Because Guan Jing and Shan Jing did not resist to the end, their fate was much better than that of Wang Men and Ji Yong, although they were taken prisoner with ordinary soldiers, they were not subjected to any abuse and scolding.

Liu He has always been tolerant in dealing with prisoners, one does not kill them, and the other does not humiliate, at most, he just makes his family a free laborer and thug in the future......

Gongsun Zhan, who fled into the Taihang Mountains, walked around and around for five days, and came to an inaccessible mountain stream, once he walked out of this mountain stream, he could enter Lingqiu County, and then go directly to Taiyuan from the Flying Fox Road, so that he also escaped from Shengtian.

Although Bingzhou was controlled by Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zhan still had tens of thousands of main forces besieging Jicheng on the east road, and Yuan Shao would never do anything stupid to kill his allies at this juncture of besieging Liu Yu together.

Therefore, Gongsun Chan felt that he still had a chance, and once he escaped to Bingzhou, he could pass through Yecheng from Huguan, and then return to Qingzhou from Yanzhou. Although it will be very hard to go around this circle, he still has the capital, and there is still a chance to turn the tables in the future.

Two thousand people escorted Gongsun Chan in the narrow mountain stream and walked slowly, and suddenly there was a loud roar from behind, but the mountain shook and collapsed for some reason, completely blocking the road behind them.

Gongsun Chan was taken aback, and when he found out that the road behind him was intercepted, he looked up to the sky and smiled: "Ha Luha, God really help me!" Now that the valley in the rear has collapsed and been sealed, even if thousands of pursuers come, they can't help me! ”

Gongsun Chan's loud laughter echoed in the valley for a long time......

A moment later, there was another roar of landslides.

This time, Gongsun Chan couldn't laugh.

Because, this time, there was a landslide in front of their march!

Tian Chou, who had not shown up since returning to Jicheng, showed a face from the top of the canyon at this time, and shouted loudly to Gongsun Zhan, whose heart was like ashes: "Gongsun Bogui, how is this cemetery that the eldest prince chose for you?" The mountains and rivers here are beautiful, and the trees are shady, which is just right for you to live here for a long time! ”

After Tian Chou said this, without waiting for Gongsun Zhan to curse, he ordered the soldiers guarding both sides of the canyon: "Light the fire and throw smoke!" ”

Packets of flammable poisonous tobacco pouches were lit by the soldiers, and then thrown into the mountain stream, and suddenly the valley was filled with smoke, and a large number of soldiers were so smoked that they passed out.

Seeing this, Gongsun Zhan didn't care about being ashamed, and immediately took off his coat, then took out the blackbird under his crotch, wet it, and then covered his head.

Tian Chou at the top of the valley couldn't see Gongsun Chan's ugly appearance now, but he didn't want Gongsun Chan to come out alive, the poisonous smoke just now was just the first appetizer, and there were even more terrifying things waiting for Gongsun Chan next.

After the poisoning smoke of the valley burned out, Tian Chou asked the soldiers to light the firewood that had been prepared for several days and threw it into the valley. These firewoods were drenched with some grease and burned very strongly, and now it was perfect to use them to cremate Gongsun Chan and his soldiers.

According to the later recollections of the soldiers who participated in the operation, the stones on both sides of the mountain wall were burned and peeled off, and the 2,000 people who died in the valley were burned to ashes after being smoked by poisonous smoke, and mixed with the lime falling off the mountain wall, covering the entire valley floor a foot thick!

No one saw the scene of Gongsun Chan and his fourth brother Le He Dang being burned to ashes, but after the fire ended, Gongsun Chan's voice was never heard in the world again.

In history, Gongsun Chan set himself on fire on the Yijing Tower, and his entire family was buried for him.

This time, Gongsun Zhan was burned to death by Tian Chou in the nameless valley leading to Bingzhou, and 2,000 clan soldiers buried him.

Tian Chou's fire burned well, not only completely solved Gongsun Zhan, but also blocked this dangerous path leading from Bingzhou to Youzhou, from now on, even if the brave people are, they will not dare to pass through this resentful ghost place again.

Looking back on the defeat of Gongsun Zhan, it is actually inseparable from his greedy, cunning and suspicious character.

Because of greed, Gongsun Chan wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of the three-way army to besiege Youzhou this time to swallow all of Youzhou in one fell swoop, he adopted Yuan Shao's suggestion, and took great risks to lead the troops from the Bohai Sea all the way west to Daijun, but did not join the troops of his younger brother Sun Yue.

Because of cunning, even if Gongsun Chan went all the way west, he did not forget to arrange various retreats for himself, and he sent troops to garrison Zhuoxian, Danguo and Wuruan Pass respectively, which not only ensured the safety of his grain route, but also prevented the back road from being attacked and disturbed, which shows Gongsun Zhan's caution and caution.

Because of his suspicion, Gongsun Zhan began to retreat immediately after being blocked in Dai County, and then retreated to the east for a while, moved to the north for a while, and broke through to the west for a while, and finally chose to escape to the south, but after reaching the most luke, he still couldn't escape Guo Jia's calculations, and counted him dead in a mountain stream in the Taihang Mountains.

If Gongsun Zhan was not so greedy, and he was willing to share Youzhou with Yuan Shao from the beginning, then he would have given Yuan Shao the Daijun and Shanggu that were close to the state, and he would not be in a hurry to break into Daijun to find death.

If Gongsun Zhan was not so cunning, he would not have dispersed his troops like sheep pulling dung after entering Zhuo County, but would have ensured that the 30,000 army would always be in a group and quickly interspersed all the way to the west, so that Liu He would not have a chance to annihilate him.

If Gongsun Chan didn't have so many suspicions, after he found that he was in danger, he only needed to find a direction to break through to the death, with Liu He's forces besieging Gongsun Zhan, even if he could completely wipe out Gongsun Chan, it would be a matter of killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred.

If......

There are no ifs.

In front of a ghost like Guo Jia, any weakness in his character will be fatal, not to mention that Gongsun Chan committed three fatal weaknesses at once, so ......

Gongsun Zhan, it's not a pity to die! (To be continued......)
