In the city of Guanzi in western Liaoning, on the city tower, the soldiers are prepared, and the defenders are each armed with swords, guns, bows and crossbows, and they are waiting for the battle.

The general defending the city was covered with blood on his stomach and face, obviously having just experienced a big battle and had no time to rest.

Behind him, the silver-robed general who had turned blood-colored pressed his sword and kept walking around the city tower, encouraging morale from time to time, and the defenders upstairs were mostly wounded.

The general who commanded the defense of the city was Gongsun Zhan, who had led the army to pursue Zhang Chun and others before.

On that day, he led Bai Ma Yi from the pursuit, with Zhang Chun's ability, he was naturally not his opponent of Gongsun Bo Jue, even if the remnants of the army were still twice as many as Gongsun Zhan's men and horses, but they were still defeated and lost, and they were driven east by Gongsun Zhan.

Gongsun Chan was already in sight of a big victory, but unfortunately Xianbei Qiu Liju suddenly intervened in it.

Although Xianbei has been divided, its power is still huge, and Qiu Liju is the best among them, this person led the army to secretly unite with Zhang Chun and others.

Xianbei was already familiar with field battles, and he fought more and less, coupled with his intention to calculate and unintentionally, Gongsun Zhan came with light troops, even if Bai Ma Yi was from the elite, he still couldn't resist and went away.

Fortunately, there was Guanzi City not far behind, which gave him the opportunity to temporarily repair.

Now he has been besieged in the city for more than two months, although there is some food accumulated in the city, but now that he is besieged in the city, he will inevitably gradually become popular.

Gongsun Chan took a few steps forward, put his hands on the female wall in front of him, and looked out of the city.

The banners under the city are continuous, and there is no end in sight, and at a glance, the men and horses are several times more than the defenders in the city. Even if he didn't care about the people in the city, it would be difficult for him to break through.

Gongsun Chan smiled bitterly, it seems that the Xianbei people really want the head of him, the "White Horse General".

When he was in Zhuoxian before, he was happy when he heard the war, and he repeatedly fought with the aliens, killing countless people of the aliens, so that the aliens were afraid of the name of the white horse general, and wanted to come to Xianbei and Zhang Chun to unite this time, but also to get rid of him as a scourge.

"Is the Captain worried about defending the city?" Yan Gang came from nowhere, "I just checked the grain and grass in the city, and it can still support some time." Although Xianbei is overwhelming, as long as we guard the city, they will never be able to attack it in the short term. ”

"At this point, I'm not worried about defending the city, after all, the worst thing is that the city will be broken and killed, and they will take off the head of my Gongsun Zhan.

"It's just a pity that I want you to accompany me to die, and my Gongsun Chan can't live with you. Second, I finally got the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and I didn't want to suffer this disaster first before I could achieve my achievements. Could it be that Gongsun Boqi really has no chance to succeed in this life. Gongsun Chan sighed again.

Among the people who came with him were both Wuhuan Tuqi and Youzhou Erlang, but no matter who they were, they were all brothers who had fought with him on the battlefield.

Now he is going to be buried here with him.

Yan Gang saw that he was so depressed, and opened his mouth to persuade: "The battle formation is the fairest, since the man is in the battle array, life and death are his own affairs."

"Du Wei doesn't have to blame himself, I only came to the army to make meritorious contributions, at least follow Du Wei, and fight against foreign races. Besides, things have not yet reached the last step, and there is no chance of a turnaround. After surviving this time, the lieutenant still has a chance to rise again. ”

Gongsun Chan laughed, "What else will there be?" We have been besieged for so long, and if there was any intention of rescue in the nearby county, it should have arrived a long time ago. It's no wonder they do. Liaoxi is already sparsely populated, and there are not many Han cities, and now Xianbei is putting on such a momentum, and coming to rescue is obviously to send sheep into the tiger's mouth, who will take his life for my grandson Boju? ”

At this point, he looked far away, looked southeast, shook his head and smiled.

"There are people in the world who do."

"It's a pity that he and you and I are across the mountains and seas."

"It's too late."

……………………

Youzhou, outside the Governor Kang Pavilion.

A number of horses came galloping from a distance, perhaps because of the continuous running and the rain a few days ago, and the muddy ground, the first horse suddenly slid out dozens of steps, almost knocking the horse to the ground.

The man on the horse stopped his horse, turned over and dismounted, raised his hand and patted the side of the patella, and exhaled heavily.

I asked myself in my heart, how many years has he, a scholar from a wealthy background, not galloped wildly?

It's probably been many years.

"Is Father sick?"

The horsemen behind him dismounted and gathered around, all of them carrying a lot of dirt and dust on their faces.

Beside him was a young man, thin and bookish.

If Liu Bei and the others were here, they would definitely be able to recognize this person as Liu He, the son of Liu Yu they had met at the beginning.

And the person who was on the horse led by Fang Cai was the new Youzhou Mu Liu Yu.

Emperor Ling abolished Shi Limu before and set him in the position of Youzhou Mu, but after Emperor Ling died, he was a respected member of the Han family, and he had been helping to deal with the affairs of the clan in Luoyang, and he had only taken out to take up his post not long ago.

Liu Yu wiped the sweat on his head and said with a smile: "Your father was also a person who could gallop thousands of miles on horseback back then, although he is a few years old now, he is still very vigorous." It's just that the horse is a little worse, otherwise it could have been faster. ”

Liu He can naturally see that Liu Yu is working hard to support, galloping day and night, rarely resting, even he, a young man in his prime, is a little unbearable, not to mention Liu Yu, who is now a few years old.

"Father, in my opinion, even if we work day and night like this, and wait until we get to the governance center and come up with countermeasures, I'm afraid that Gongsun Chan will already be dead." Liu He said softly.

The reason why they rushed through the starry night was because they got the news that Gongsun Zhan was surrounded by Zhang Chun and others in Guanzi City, and they were anxious to go to save people.

Liu Yu shook his head, although he also knew that Gongsun Zhan had been besieged for many days, and even if they rescued him now, they might not be able to save this person, but this person was a frontier general, and if he died at the hands of a foreigner, it would really be a loss for the country. So even if there is only a little hope, he still has to save it.

"Gongsun Bo is a famous general, let's go all the way, haven't we heard his name from foreign people? can make the alien race read his name, such a person, if he is immortal, and he is stationed in the border city, it is enough to deter the alien race. Liu Yu sighed.

"The child doesn't mean anything else, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to rescue him."

Liu Yu waved his hand, "Let's enter Zhuo County first." I heard that Xuande has always had a good relationship with Gongsun Boju, but now that Gongsun Chan is in trouble, Xuande must not sit idly by. ”

"He is now in Qingzhou, thousands of miles away, even if he has the heart to help, it is too late. However, I heard that he has a third brother who has been operating here for many years, although I also spent some days in Youzhou, but in the end the days are a little longer, let's go to find his third brother first, and see if there is anything to think about. ”

Hearing Liu Yu mention Liu Bei, Liu He frowned, but he didn't say anything more.

At the beginning, he had also met Liu Bei and Gongsun Zhan, but at that time there was a dispute over how to deal with foreign races, and the words were not speculative for more than half a sentence, and the two sides could be regarded as unhappy.

Liu Yu turned over and got on his horse again, and said in a deep voice: "Now Zhuo County is not far away, hurry up."

……………………

A few days later, Liu Yu and others rode into Zhuo County, and Liu Yan brought people to greet them.

In the past, Liu Yan, who had to stumble when he saw a big man like Liu Yu, now responds appropriately and has some demeanor.

Liu Yu sighed in his heart, although he and Liu Yan are not in the same vein, they are both relatives of the Han family. There are many characters in the Han family, and it is always something he is happy to see.

Especially in this eventful autumn when the Han dynasty is fluctuating inside and outside.

Liu Quan, who followed Liu Yan's side, was even more outstanding, and it seemed that this person followed Lu Zhi to study on the Wushi Mountain, but he had gained a lot.

It's just that today he didn't come to reminisce about the past, so he said directly, "Where is Xuande's third brother?" Now Gongsun Boqi is surrounded in Guanzi City, and I am about to go to the rescue. ”

Liu Quanying said: "Youzhou Mu came late, Yide has already led the cavalry to rescue him, and he left a plan when he left."

He took out a letter and handed it to Liu Yu.

Liu Yu opened the letter, and it really made a clear decision.

He nodded and sighed, "This policy is the same as I thought, but it will take some time to implement, I just hope that Gongsun Boqi can still hold on." ”

He looked at Liu Yan again and said with a smile: "Zijing, I think your family's Yuan Qi is not bad, why don't you let him be by your side?"

Liu Yan looked at Liu Quan.

Liu Cheng groaned for a moment and said with a smile: "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate."

………………

Linzi City, Qingzhou, since Liu Bei took office as Qingzhou Mu, has moved the administrative place here.

Now Liu Bei is not in Qingzhou, and he handed over all the affairs of the state to Guan Yu and Jia Xu.

Although Qingzhou is large, the two of them are literate and martial, which is enough to deal with.

In the official temple of Linzi City, Guan Yu was chatting with Jia Xu.

"Yun Chang is still worried about the lord?" Jia Xu saw that Guan Yu had a sad look on his face, and asked with a smile.

"Whether those ships are entering the sea for the first time, although there is a guarantee from Ma Jun, but what it is, no one can say. In case something happens, the sea is no better than the land, stuck in the sea, there is no way out, how not to worry. Guan Yu sighed.

It turned out that the boat that Liu Bei and others were riding was newly built by Ma Jun according to Liu Bei's suggestion to him, although the theory was solid, but he had never tried to enter the sea, and this time it was the first time to enter the sea.

For people like Guan Yu, who grew up in the north since childhood, it is naturally not a reassuring thing to travel on the rivers and seas, let alone this kind of boat that enters the sea for the first time.

Jia Xu smiled and said, "Since Yun Chang is so worried, why didn't he stop the lord that day?" Qingzhou is not easy to come by, and this trip may have to be wasted. Yide is not here, and among the people who are here that day, only you can come forward to stop it, and the lord can listen to it a little. ”

Guan Yu shook his head, "Bo Jue and his brother met at a young age, and now that Bo Jue is in trouble, how can my brother sit idly by?" If it weren't for the fact that this place still needed to be taken care of, he would definitely have gone with him. ”

"Qingzhou is important, but for my brothers and others, no matter how heavy the world is, it can't be more than a righteous word after all."

Jia Xu smiled and nodded, "Since Yun Chang knows this, then why worry, it's useless to worry, the lord always has to go." ”

While the two were chatting, Zang Ba hurried in from outside.

Since Liu Bei lifted the siege for him that day, Zang Ba has served as Jia Xu's bodyguard.

"Why is Xuangao in such a hurry?" Jia Xu asked with a smile.

"Jia Jun, Yun Chang, someone came to ask for help, saying that there are yellow turban thieves in the north, and Kong Rong, the prime minister of the plain country, is unfavorable in battle, and is defeated by thieves, retreats to the city, and is now trapped by thieves." Zang Ba said urgently.

Jia Xu was not flustered, and said with a smile: "You can invite the person who asks for help to come in and see it."

Zang Ba turned away.

Jia Xu smiled and said, "What does Yun Chang think?"

"Although my brother is not here now, Ke Yu has never taken these Xiaoxiao in his eyes. Zhang Jiao is dead, and the yellow scarves are just some grass scarves. ”

Guan Yu snorted coldly, even when there were not many people under him back then, he never put the yellow scarf in his eyes, let alone now occupy a state.

A moment later, Zang Ba led a young man through the door.

The young man was dressed in light armor, and his armor was covered with blood, but there was no difference between his walks, and he was obviously not seriously injured.

Seeing this, Guan Yu showed appreciation.

I just heard that now that the Yellow Turban has besieged the city, this person must have broken out of the siege, but he is also a strong man.

Jia Xu said with a smile: "I heard that now that the Yellow Turban has besieged the city, the strong man has come to ask for help?"

"Yes, now that Kong Jun is under siege in the plains, I am afraid that it will be in danger, I happened to visit Kong Jun in the city, and I was favored by Kong Jun in the past, so I ventured out of the siege." The man answered.

"It is easy to say that one person breaks the siege, but ordinary people are afraid that they have already died in the battle formation. It is extremely difficult to do this. ”

Jia Xu looked at the person opposite and said softly, "If there is such a warrior in Qingzhou, it will definitely not be a nameless person, and the strong man can leave his name." ”

The man glanced at Jia Xu and said, "A certain person is Tai Shi Ci from the east."

I didn't want Jia Xu to hear this, so he just nodded and laughed in a low voice: "It turned out to be you."

It turned out that Liu Bei had sent someone to Donglai to look for this person before, but Tai Shici was not at home at that time.

Now it's delivered to the door by itself.

He turned to look at Guan Yu behind him.

Guan Yu picked the phoenix eyes and flicked the sleeves of his robe, "Xuan Gao, order the troops, I will personally lead the troops to the rescue." ”

………………

Outside Guanzi City, the siege of Xianbei became more and more urgent, and in the past two days, it has begun to attack the city regardless of casualties.

There are not many defenders in the city, in addition to the original defenders in the city, there are many of them are the white horse righteous servants who Gongsun Zhan took out on the expedition that day, and the field battle is acceptable, but it is inevitable that the defense of the city will be worse.

Now that the city is in danger, seeing that the city is about to be broken, Gongsun Chan gathered the remaining white horse Yicong under his command, rode in front, and led the army out of the city to fight.

If he can't survive, his grandson Chan will be burned.

With the opening of the city gate, the Xianbei army outside the city did not expect Gongsun Chan to dare to go out of the city to fight in an instant, but the Xianbei people were outnumbered and powerful, and they quickly stabilized and formed a formation to force Gongsun Chan and others.

White Horse Yicong is mostly light horse, wandering and riding and shooting, but now he is forced by the big array, he can't wander, and he is gradually showing defeat.

Gongsun Zan personally fought in front of him, and the double-headed snake spear in his hand was provoked again and again, but in a moment, he had already picked off dozens of Xianbei people around him.

It's just that he himself was not lightly injured, and the blood flowed down the wound and slowly along the stomach.

Seeing that there were Xianbei cavalry troops surrounding, he wanted to raise his spear and fight again, but he could no longer exert a lot of strength in his hands, and the two-headed snake spear that danced like the wind on weekdays was also as heavy as a mountain at this time.

Gongsun Chan smiled bitterly, it seems that he is here.

Seeing the Xianbei cavalry rushing towards him, he had already closed his eyes and waited for death, when suddenly a white-robed young general came from a distance and burst into the formation, with a spear in his hand, each shot must pick a person's life.

This person killed through the enemy formation from the periphery like this and came to Gongsun Zhan.

Gongsun Zhan raised his eyes and looked at it, and said in surprise, "It's you?"

He had seen this person in Changshan at the beginning.

"Gongsun Jun, Zhao Yun is late."

Gongsun Zhan's heart moved, and he looked in the direction where this person had been killed.

In the distance, a group of foot soldiers came in formation.

The man at the head, an iron-clad black horse, raised his spear high in his hand.

The two were far apart, but he still seemed to be able to hear Liu Bei's words clearly.

It's like the promise made by the two of them on the Gou Mountain.

If there is difficulty, it will come far away.

Liu Bei looked at Gongsun Zhan and laughed loudly: "Bo Jue, I'm here to save you!"
