Chapter 318: Gongsun Zhan's Death

Yuan Shao shouted in public, 'Ordered to beg for thieves', and everyone present, whether it was Tian Feng, who belonged to the imperial court camp, or Yuan Shao's shogunate, everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The destruction of Yuan Shu is just around the corner, who would dare to do the second one?

Even if Dong Zhuo attacked Cao Cao, he didn't admit that he was killed, and insisted that it was the bandits, and from time to time he wrote to the court to show his loyalty.

Gao Gan waited for Yuan Shao to finish speaking, then raised his hand again and said, "Uncle, what about Gongsun Xu?" ”

Yuan Shao looked at Wuhu City and said lightly: "It's just a grasshopper after the autumn, don't worry about it for the time being, I want to use Gongsun Zhan's head to establish my prestige!" ”

Tian Feng was silent, but he was depressed, and Director Zhang and the others were in high spirits.

Killing a Yuan Shu is nothing, but Gongsun Chan is different, if Yuan Shao kills Gongsun Zhan, he will inevitably become the 'first general of the dynasty', and the fame brought by it will be comparable to Yuan Shao's feat of entering the palace and killing the eunuchs!

At that time, talent, money, food, and land will be at your fingertips!

Yuan Shao, it may not be the second Liu Xiu!

Yuan Shao, who was riding a tall horse, did not have the high spirits of the past, but he was more calm and capable, and he had the calm attitude of a superior who was not in a hurry.

Yuan Shao's side is in high spirits, and Gongsun Zhan, who is trapped in Wuhu City, is a different situation.

At this time, on a high-rise building, Gongsun Chan looked out of the city, listening to the shouts of siege, the scar on his face twitched one by one, and his expression was fierce, as if he would draw a knife to kill at any time.

I don't know how long it took, but he looked back behind him, except for his own soldiers who had followed him for many years, the other cronies were either killed in battle or captured.

A pro-soldier saw it and stepped forward and said, "General, General Gongsun Zhonglang has already led five thousand troops to come, so there is no need to worry." ”

Gongsun Zhan's eyes were gloomy, he turned his head again, looked at the direction of Yuan Shao's camp, and sneered: "Yuan Shao, if I don't kill you, what face do I have to stand in the world!" ”

The soldiers looked at his back, knowing that their general had a strategy, and confidence came to their faces again.

Zhang He attacked until the evening before collecting his troops, compared to the bright lights of Yuan Shao's camp, the city of Wuhu was pitch black.

The next day at noon.

Yuan Shao was wiping the sword in his hand, Xu You came closer, handed over a letter, and said, "General, please see." ”

Yuan Shao put down the sword, took it and looked at it, handed it back and said, "Yes." ”

Seeing that Yuan Shao didn't seem to care too much, Xu You hurriedly stepped forward and said in a low voice: "General, this is true. ”

Yuan Shao was stunned, then he looked up at Xu Yu and said, "Really? ”

Xu Yu nodded happily and said, "Yes, the senior lieutenant intercepted the spy that Gongsun Xu gave to Gongsun Zhan and got this letter!" ”

Yuan Shao took the letter again, looked at the content of the so-called 'inside should be outside', a smile appeared on the corner of his face, and said: "Ziyuan, it is really the blessing of the old man!" ”

Xu You raised his hand with a smile and said, "The lower officials don't dare, they just want some money." ”

The more Yuan Shao smiled, he inserted the sword back, stood up, and laughed loudly: "I know that Ziyuan's family wealth was copied by Yuan Shu, so after the city is broken, let Ziyuan choose ten things first, and the old man will never interfere!" ”

Xu You was overjoyed, bowed deeply, and said: "Xu You thank the general, I am willing to be a pawn of the general, and I will not give up!" ”

Yuan Shao laughed, hung up the sword, and said in a deep voice: "Herald, Pan Feng, Gao Gan is here to see the old man!" ”

The pro-soldiers responded and quickly went to give orders.

Xu You stood aside, holding his hands, smiling, very proud.

With Gongsun Xu's letter, the father and son will definitely die!

Yuan Shao summoned Pan Feng and Gao Gan, and after formulating the 'plan', he walked around comfortably and said loudly with Xu You: "Ziyuan, as soon as Gongsun Chan dies, the land of Yangzhou, except for Wu County, will fall into the hands of the old man!" ”

Xu You quickly raised his hand and said, "Congratulations to the general, the great cause is expected!" ”

Yuan Shao smiled more, looked up in the direction of Luoyang City, his eyes flickered coldly.

Xu You naturally knew Yuan Shao's hatred for Luoyang City, and was thinking about how to speak, when suddenly a personal soldier hurriedly ran over and said, "General Qiyu, Sun Ce, the son of the Marquis of Wucheng, sent someone to borrow troops." ”

Yuan Shao turned his head and said, "Wucheng Hou, Sun Jian? ”

The soldier said: "Yes, the person who came is called Cheng Pu, and he wants to borrow 5,000 soldiers to avenge Lu Bu's murder of his father." ”

Yuan Shao's expression did not move, his eyes hesitated, and he turned to Xu You.

For Sun Jian, Yuan Shao didn't feel anything, he was a dead man anyway. But for Wu County, Yuan Shaozhi is bound to win.

Sun Ce retrieved Wu County from Luoyang, and with the support of many Sun Jian's generals, he was already the de facto Marquis of Wucheng and took over Wu County.

Xu You knew Yuan Shao's thoughts, came closer, and said in a low voice: "General, it may not be a temptation. might as well borrow him 5,000, stabilize Nasun Ce for the time being, and wait for him to fight with Lu Bu, regardless of success or failure, the general's entry into Wu County will be logical and popular. ”

When Yuan Shao heard this, he estimated the time in his heart, nodded and said, "Okay, then borrow 5,000 from Sun Ce, but ask him to return me another 50,000 stone grain and grass!" ”

Xu You said: "Xia Guan understands, so I'll go see that Cheng Pu." ”

Yuan Shao was just about to answer, and suddenly said, "How are you preparing for the matter?" ”

Xu You hurriedly turned around and said, "The lower officials are ready, in addition to sending it to Cao Cao and Liu Bei, there are also Liu Biao, Shixie and Liu Yan, of course, it still has to be passed on to the world." ”

Yuan Shao was silent for a while, then snorted coldly and said, "Cao Cao won't give it." ”

Xu You was stunned and stunned, and said, "General, why is this?" Cao Cao's favorite general in Luoyang Palace, this time to ask Dong, he is a general on the surface, but in fact he is still Cao Cao, is he really not giving it to him? ”

Yuan Shao looked in the direction of Yingchuan and sneered: "But after a eunuch, how can he be worthy of being with us?" ”

Xu You seemed to think of something, and said, "Yes, if the lower official doesn't send him, it's just that." ”

Yuan Shao looked at it for a moment, then turned to Wuhu City, and said: "At most, for three days, Gongsun Zan will be beheaded, and after that, immediately reorganize the army and garrison Jiujiang!" ”

Jiujiang County is connected to Runan, Yuzhou.

Xu You knew that Runan County was Yuan's hometown, and he didn't dare to hesitate, and said, "Xiaguan will go and arrange it!" ”

Yuan Shao didn't take Dong Zhuo in his eyes at all, looking at Wuhu City, but thinking about the entire Jiangdong in his heart.

If Dong Zhuo can be defeated and Yuzhou can be occupied, then go south and annex Liu Biao and Jiaozhi, then the Han Dynasty will hold half the world in his hands!

Half of the world is there, will the whole world be far away?

Cheng Pu quickly ordered 5,000 soldiers and horses and hurried back to Wu County.

With the assassination of Sun Jian, the dragons of Wu County were leaderless, and they saw that they were about to fall apart, and with Sun Ce's arrival, everyone elected him as 'Marquis of Wucheng' to rule Wu County.

But if he wanted to face the increasingly powerful Lu Bu, Sun Jian's soldiers and horses left behind were simply not enough, so he thought of asking Yuan Shao to borrow troops.

Even though it was less than half of what was expected, Yuan Shao's willingness to borrow it still made Cheng Pu's worried heart relax by half, and then, they needed to go all out to deal with Lu Bu.

Cheng Pu left with the soldiers and horses, and Gongsun Xu's letter was also sent to Wuhu City.

Gongsun Zhan was overjoyed when he saw it, and said to his cronies: "My son has led 5,000 troops to ambush outside the city, and tomorrow night, with torches as the number, attack Yuan Shao's camp at night!" ”

"Good!"

"Okay!"

The pro-soldiers clenched their fists and were excited.

They are surrounded here, the food and grass are about to run out, and if they don't break through, they can only be trapped here.

Gongsun Chan stood on the tall building, the same heart is surging, since entering the Central Plains, he has been defeated repeatedly, and his reputation has been lost, this time, he must understand that he Gongsun Chan is still a famous general outside the Saiwai, the first general in the world of the Han Dynasty!

Gongsun Zhan reorganized his armament and prepared to mobilize all his forces to attack the camp tomorrow night and break Yuan Shao!

And Yuan Shao, on the grounds of 'army fatigue', stopped the siege and gave Gongsun Zan enough time.

By the next night, it was pitch black in Wuhu City, and all the soldiers were on standby.

Gongsun Chan even stood at the head of the city in person, looking out of the city.

And the Yuan Shao camp opposite, the lights are bright, and you can faintly hear the singing.

The scar on Gongsun Zhan's face twitched, and his eyes were unusually cold.

The night is as cool as water, and the killing machine is secretly moving.

I don't know how long I waited, but on a hill outside the city, torches lit up, flickering, and then quietly extinguished, and not long after, they lit up again, flashed three times, and then repeated again.

Seeing this, Gongsun Chan drew his sword violently and shouted, "Get out of the city!" ”

Under Gongsun Zhan's order, the side gate of Wuhu City quietly opened, and the army rushed out.

A total of 10,000 troops, silently, went straight to Yuan Shao's camp.

And Yuan Shao's camp is still brightly lit and singing.

Gongsun Chan did not hesitate to touch the front, saw the gate in sight, suddenly got on the horse, and shouted: "Kill!" ”

"Kill!"

Gongsun Zhan took the lead and rushed straight to Yuan Shao's camp to kill.

Yuan Shao's army is no longer disguised, killing like a tide, like an arrow off the string, like a thunderbolt.

Gongsun Chan listened to the singing in the camp, smelled the faint aroma of wine, didn't care about Gongsun Xu's movement, and went straight in.

But not long after rushing in, Gongsun Zhan's face changed greatly, and he roared angrily: "Empty camp, it's a trap, retreat!" ”

Gongsun Chan turned around and ran, looking frightened and flustered.

"Gongsun Zhan, where to go!"

Pan Feng came out from the side, roaring, holding a double-plate axe, and killing with great momentum.

"Gongsun Zhan, suffer death!"

Gao Gan appeared from the other side, spear in hand, and galloped forward.

Gongsun Chan didn't know that this was a trap, and rushed out with a shout.

Pan Feng and Gao Gan fought hard to kill, but they still didn't keep Gongsun Zhan, Gongsun Zhan led a large team of people and horses, and actually killed them hard.

Pan Feng, Gao Gan chased after him, followed and killed.

Yuan Shao walked out of one place, looked at the direction of Gongsun Zhan's escape, and said with a smug smile: "This Gongsun Zhan, how dare you go back to Wuhu?" ”

Xu You stood beside Yuan Shao and said, "General, presumably Zhang He has already taken Wuhu, right?" ”

"Not necessarily." Tian Feng couldn't see them so proud, and said lightly: "According to the time, Zhang He should have just entered the city." ”

He has always been at odds with Tian Feng and said confidently: "According to my understanding of General Zhang Zhonglang, most of them are already waiting for Gongsun Zan to throw himself into the net." ”

Tian Feng didn't care about Yuan Shao at all, and naturally he didn't care about the cynicism of the frustrated professor.

Xu You was happy when he saw the two arguing, and said with a smile with Yuan Shao: "General, don't you want to see which one it is?" ”

"Okay." Yuan Shao agreed without thinking about it, and turned over on the horse.

It didn't matter which one it was, what he wanted to see was Gongsun Zhan's corpse.

Gongsun Zhan fled all the way back to Wuhu, and before he had time to notice the abnormality, he rushed in directly and yelled: "Close the door!" Close the door! ”

The thousands of remnants of the soldiers who fled back with him closed the gate in a panic and defended the city, preparing to deal with the army pursued by Yuan Shao.

Gongsun Zhan, who was in a state of shock, had just dismounted, and suddenly, countless figures appeared around the dark streets.

"Gongsun Zhan, take your life!"

Shouting and killing like thunder, Zhang He rushed out with a spear in his hand and went straight to Gongsun Zhan.

Gongsun Zhan's face was hideous, he had been in battle for a long time, and he didn't know that this Wuhu had changed hands, and he couldn't care about anything else, so he fled.

Zhang He was not in a hurry to catch up, but covered up the thousands of remnants of Gongsun Zhan.

These remnants had long been scattered, without the power to resist, and they were closed doors, so they could only be strangled by Zhang He.

But in half an hour, Zhang He packed up these, turned the horse's head, and came to a high-rise building.

Gongsun Chan is besieged here.

On the city tower, there were only more than 30 people behind Gongsun Zhan, all of them embarrassed and panicked.

Gongsun Chan had a gloomy face, looking at the dark sky, and looking down was like a dragon's torches, layer upon layer, under the torches, there were at least thousands of people.

A pro-soldier stepped forward tremblingly and said, "General's army, or, or, let's vote......

Gongsun Zhan's heart was like ashes, he threw away the sword in his hand, and said, "Let's go." ”

Another pro-soldier hesitated forward and said in a low voice: "General, perhaps, there is still a chance to ......"

Gongsun Zhan took a torch, sighed and smiled, and said, "Let's go, Yuan Shao won't kill you." ”

At this moment, Gongsun Chan realized that he was more sober than ever, as if he had seen through everything, and everything had become less important.

The pro-soldiers under his hand, in twos and threes, hesitated, but still walked more than half of them.

And downstairs in the city, Yuan Shao has already arrived.

He stood downstairs, looking upstairs, his smug expression was difficult to hide, and he said loudly to Xu Yu beside him: "Ziyuan, you persuade again, the old man is not a person who can't tolerate people." ”

Xu You immediately understood, raised his hand and said loudly: "The general is generous, and the next official will go." ”

The words fell, and under everyone's gaze, Xu You prepared to go upstairs and persuade Gongsun Chan to surrender.

But before he could enter the door, he suddenly felt a wave of heat, and when he looked up, he saw a fire that was gradually igniting.

Xu You was startled, and hurriedly retreated and stood next to Yuan Shao.

"It's a pity."

Yuan Shao didn't need him to explain, he had already seen that a raging fire was burning on the tall building.

Tian Feng, Fu Zhu and others had different expressions, they thought that Gongsun Chan would die in battle, but they didn't expect that it would be such an ending.

Tian Feng looked at Yuan Shao's back, and his expression gradually condensed.

As soon as Gongsun Chan died, Yuan Shao basically had no 'enemies', and no one could stop him!

The fire was blazing, and many screams were heard, and no one could tell which one belonged to Gongsun Zhan.

After waiting for a while, Yuan Shao said: "Cut off Gongsun Zhan's head and give it to Cao Cao." ”

Xu You pretended not to hear, but he was suspicious in his heart.

Yuan Shao: What does this mean? Why was it given to Cao Cao?
