Chapter 283 The Death of Gongsun Zan

Along the Yishui River, a tragic slaughter is going on.

During the Warring States Period, Crown Prince Dan of Yan used to bid farewell to Jing Ke here, and Gao Jianli visited the building again, and the singing style was rustling and the water was cold.Jing Ke's assassination on Qin failed in the end, but left behind a Yanzhao tragedy that has been sung through the ages.

Under the bright sun, Gongsun Zan rushed left and right among the chaotic army, his hair was disheveled, and the armor on his body was stained with sticky blood.

Two of the iron spears had already been broken, and Gongsun Zan couldn't remember exactly how many people he had killed.

But there were more and more enemies, as if they couldn't kill them all, they swarmed towards him from all directions.

On the left is Tian Yu, and on the right is Zhao Yun.

These two young generals who had only recently attached themselves to Gongsun Zan were even more blood-stained.

Behind Gongsun Zan, there were only a hundred or so white horses left who were still doing their best to follow Gongsun Zan on the battlefield.

However, there are really too many enemies...

On the hill not far away, Liu Bei led Guan Yu Wenchou, quietly observing the changes on the battlefield, but his heart was very complicated.

Liu Yu was ordered to ambush Gongsun Zan, but he was ordered to make a surprise attack from the rear, causing Gongsun Zan to be defeated.

Yuan Shao's intentions are obvious.He does not want a major war in Jizhou, at least in the next year, there will be no war.

Si Li Dong Zhuo is nothing to worry about.

With Hanoi as a buffer, if Dong Zhuo sends troops without authorization, it will inevitably lead to a second round of crusade by the princes.

Don't worry about Chang'an. With the Yellow River moat and the Hedong Wei clan guarding it, it will be difficult for the Xiliang army to reach Jizhou.

Cao Cao has just arrived in Shanyang, and his foothold is not stable.

Even Yuan Shao's request to be stationed in Dongping Kingdom can be granted...Yuan Shao will not do so.After all, everyone was originally an ally, and he couldn't get rid of this face and stationed in Dongping.As long as Cao Cao is soft, he is not willing to persecute him too much.After all, Dongping Kingdom is a buffer between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, and no one will touch it easily.

Of course, if Jizhou is stable, Yuan Shao will not mind the annexation of Yanzhou.

But right now, it's not that time yet.

The only thing that worries Yuan Shao is Liu Yu from Youzhou.This old guy has a good relationship with Wuhuan and Xianbei people, and he is extremely loyal to the Han family.Dong Zhuo holds the Jade Seal of Chuanguo in his hand, which means that he has mastered the imperial lineage of the Han Dynasty.As long as there is an edict, Liu Yu will definitely attack Jizhou immediately.

Therefore, Yuan Shao decided to have a temporary relief with Liu Yu under the advice of his counselor Guo Tu.

Liu Bei attacked Gongsun Zan first, and then under Xu You's plan, he led Gongsun Zan to the bank of Yishui step by step.

But in fact, Liu Bei's mood at the moment is very complicated.

No matter how much Gongsun Zan guarded against him, after all Liu Bei took him in when he was in the most difficult time and gave him a place to stay.

What's more, the two of them were originally brothers!
An ambush eventually turned into a melee.No one thought that Gongsun Zan would still have such a strong fighting power at such a time.Looking from a distance, Liu Bei saw Gongsun Zan next to a young general in white robes, who was eight feet tall, majestic in appearance, and skilled in marksmanship.A white horse, with a silver spear in its palm, cuts through the waves wherever it passes.

I couldn't help feeling good in my heart, and asked, "Who is that young general in white robe?"

Guan Gong and Wen Chou looked at each other in astonishment, shook their heads, "Not very clear."

It's no wonder that Zhao Yun's reputation at this time is not obvious, and Liu Bei doesn't even know the existence of such a person.

"I didn't expect that there would be such a brave general under Bogui's tent..."

Guan Gongdan narrowed his phoenix eyes, and suddenly sneered and said, "Compared with those local chickens and dogs, he does have some skills."

Liu Bei couldn't help laughing!

This brother, everything is good, but there is only one thing, that is too high-spirited.

In the future, he must be persuasive, otherwise if he continues like this, he will suffer a big loss sooner or later.

Liu Bei raised his head and looked at the sky.

"Come to an end, we've been delayed for too long."

As he spoke, a cloud of mist suddenly floated in his eyes, "If I didn't live under the fence, why would I do such a dirty thing?"

This sentence seems to be talking to himself, and it seems to be speaking to Guan Gongwen.

Both of them trembled uncontrollably, gritted their teeth, and urged their horses to rush down the hill and into the chaos army.

Guan Gong stared at Zhao Yun, dragged his knife and galloped.The red horse under the crotch was like a sharp arrow, and it rushed to Zhao Yun in an instant.

"Thief general, look at the knife!"

Guan Gong squeezed out four words, as if they were being held back from his lungs, with a cold and sinister murderous aura.

When the sound came, the human knife and the Qinglong Yanyue knife fell one by one. Guan Gong raised the 82-jin Qinglong Yanyue knife with one arm, but said in his mouth: "Zheng Bokeduan and Yan..."

The big sword wanted to strike Zhao Yun head-on, as fast as lightning.

At this time, Zhao Yun was no longer the boy who had just joined the army and fought against Lu Bu before Hulao Pass.

After a series of battles, Zhao Yun's marksmanship has matured day by day, and his temperament has become very stable.Guan Gong's sword is fast, but Zhao Yun has already paid attention to it.The big gun trembled in his hand, turning into thousands of pear blossoms, one after another, the gloomy gun lights dancing in the sunlight, but the real killing move was hidden in the thousands of gun lights.

Ding……

There is nothing special about Guan Gong's sword technique, it is fast and fierce.

But when Zhao Yun's spear tip touched the knife edge, it seemed to be in the air, empty and effortless.

This feeling, Zhao Yun once felt in the fight with Lu Bu.

Although I was terrified in my heart, I was not very scared.The figure stepped back immediately, and the big gun shrank back with a flutter.

Guan Gong's eyes were originally half-closed, but now they widened.

Zheng Boke's Duan Yuyan is the beginning of the Chunqiu Zuozhuan.After Guan Gong was familiar with the Spring and Autumn Period, he had a faint feeling.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, Duke Zhuang's mother didn't like King Zhuang, but loved her youngest son, Gong Shuduan.Therefore, he always planned to let Duan take the throne of Duke Zhuang.Instigated by his mother, Duan became extremely arrogant.However, Duke Zhuang kept backing down, until finally, he delivered the fatal blow.

The story is short, but it implies a big truth.

From this, Guan Gong learned the secret of advancing with retreat and lifting weights as if they were light, so the sword technique seems to be fierce, but in fact it hides infinite stamina.The more violent your offensive is, the stronger Guan Gong's counterattack will be.Moreover, this Zheng Boke Duan Yuyan was the introduction that triggered the 200-year Spring and Autumn Rebellion, so the mystery of the sword technique is extremely treacherous.

However, Zhao Yun's marksmanship was neutral and peaceful, and his temperament was calm. When he found something wrong with one shot, he immediately stopped attacking.

Ren Na Guan Gong's saber technique was ingenious, but he was powerless to use it.

I couldn't help but roared: "Good skill..."

Only then did he vent out the depression in his heart, and swept Zhao Yun with a backhand.

In fact, Zhao Yun was also very uncomfortable.

The abrupt withdrawal made him extremely depressed.Seeing Guan Gong slashing at him again, he didn't back down, the big gun pouted like a spirit snake exploring the way, and landed on the knife edge with a clang.At the same time, he pushed to the side, a strange force almost caused Guan Gong to fall off his horse.

This round and two contacts made both Zhao Yun and Guan Gong feel vigilant.

On the other side, Wen Chou stopped Gongsun Zan and Tian Yu.

The gun is fast, the horse is fast, and the momentum is heavy.In addition, Guan Yu taught Wen Chou the no-return marksmanship developed by Zhang Fei, which made Wen Chou's force continuously strengthened.Tian Yu and Gongsun Zan are all characters who can fight Lu Bu, and their force is not too weak.However, under Wen Chouji's stormy attack, he could barely withstand it, and it was difficult to fight back.

Baima Yicong lost his arrow, and it was difficult to display the power of the cavalry anymore.

Jizhou soldiers on all sides swarmed up and fell into a hard fight.

Gongsun Zan watched those relatives die one by one, his eyes turned blood red.

"Yuan Benchu ​​is shameless and killed his allies without authorization. He will die in the future..."

As he spoke, he looked up and saw Liu Bei who was immediately under the big banner on the hill not far away, and a burst of anger suddenly rose.

"Guorang, stop this guy and kill an ear for me!"

Tian Yu raised his gun, knocked away Wen Chou's eight-treasure dragon gun, panted and said loudly: "My lord, just go, I'm here!"

Gongsun Zan patted his horse and danced with a spear, and rushed towards the hill.

Although he had been torn to death for more than an hour, Gongsun Zan was still extremely brave.

Jizhou soldiers tried to stop Gongsun Zan, but he stabbed him to death with a spear.Like a sharp sword, it forcibly tore a hole in the chaotic army, opened its eyes wide, and shouted sharply: "Liu Xuande, repeat villain, don't give me your life!"

Liu Bei took off the Baodiao bow and put on the bow and arrow quietly.

Seeing Gongsun Zan rushing up the mound, he sighed in his heart, and said in a deep voice, "Bogui, why don't you leave quickly and want to die!"

As soon as the words fell, the sharp arrow flew away from the string.

I have to say that Liu Bei's military strength has indeed improved a lot over the years, but the most advanced is his archery.

Comparing strength, comprehension, aptitude...

Unlike Guan Gong and Wen Chou, he has a good foundation and natural capital.

So he simply worked hard on archery, and now he has developed a superb archery technique.

This arrow appeared extremely strangely.The sharp arrow shot from the three-stone strong bow pierced through the air with a piercing whistling sound.

Gongsun Zan couldn't dodge on his horse, and suddenly the sharp arrow pierced through his armor and hit him in the chest.

Nearly falling off his horse, Gongsun Zan let out a scream and pulled his horse away.Zhao Yun and Guan Gong fought evenly. Seeing that Gongsun Zan was in danger, he shot Guan Gong back with a shot, and then rushed to Wen Chou on a flying horse.With one move of Tian Yu's big spear, he flattened his marksmanship and broke Wen Chou's weapon.It was at this time that Zhao Yun rushed to Wen Chou.

This shot was treacherous.

It was also fortunate that Wen Chou was highly skilled in martial arts, and he turned sideways, and the big gun stuck in his thigh, causing Wen Chou to roar in pain.

Taking advantage of the situation, Tian Yu and Zhao Yun rushed to Gongsun Zan's side.

The two protected Gongsun Zan and went out, while the remaining Bai Ma Yicong desperately blocked them and provided cover for the three of them.

Guan Gong watched Zhao Yun and the three escape, and suddenly became furious.Qinglong Yanyue Saber slashed repeatedly, in the cloud of heavy sabers, Qinglong flashed, beheading Baima Yicong one after another.

But also taking advantage of this time, Zhao Yun and the three had already broken out of the encirclement and fled along Yishui.

Guan Gong was about to catch up, but was stopped by Liu Bei.

"Brother, why don't you chase after him?"

"Just now I shot Gongsun Zan, Bo Gui will surely die..."

While talking, he ordered someone to heal Wen Chou, then looked around the battlefield, and suddenly let out a long sigh.

Guan Gong couldn't help being surprised, and couldn't help but stepped forward and asked, "Why did you suddenly sigh?"

"Bogui has a great talent, but unfortunately, Baima Yicong will no longer exist in the future...Why don't I always have such soldiers and horses?"

Liu Bei has never seen Dong Pi's troll warrior, but this white horse righteousness left a deep impression on him.

If there is such an army, why worry about my failure?
It's a pity that although the second brother is brave, he is not proficient in this way... how about, I think Yuan Shao suggested, try to train such a team?
At this time, Wen Chou wrapped up his wound and came to Liu Bei's horse.

"Brother, what shall we do next?"

"Although Bogui escaped, he must not escape far. We will pursue along Yishui, and when we can find his body, we will go back and report."

"But those two people..."

"It's a pity, it's not my Liu Bei's subordinates!"

Guan Gong pondered for a moment, "The boy I was fighting with is indeed capable, but he is still a bit jerky. If my brother likes it, next time I meet him, I will take him down. At that time, whether to kill or surrender, it is better to let him go." Big Brother's thoughts?"

Liu Bei couldn't help laughing upon hearing this...

It's still my brother who is caring, but it's a pity for the third brother. If he is still alive, I don't know how happy he will be!

*******
Zhao Yun Tianyu protected Gongsun Zan and fled. He hurried all the way and found an abandoned hut at nightfall.

He helped Gongsun Zan into the hut and lay down in the haystack.

Tian Yu said: "Zilong, take good care of my lord. I'll go find some food. We'll find a way to go back to Yuyang when we're full."

Zhao Yun nodded and said, "Guorang, be careful!"

Tian Yu agreed and left in a hurry.

Soon, Gongsun Zan woke up from the coma, calling out a name softly, which was the nickname of his wife Hou Shi.

The Hou family was originally a descendant of a large family in western Liaoning, and later came to Yuyang with Gongsun Zan.

After Liu Yu broke Yuyang, the Hou family was also killed.Gongsun Zan recalled his wife's nickname at this time, and it was also the time when he was the weakest.

Zhao Yun hurried over and said softly: "My lord, my lord..."

Excited, Gongsun Zan woke up from his trance, and instinctively wanted to grab the sword, but a sharp pain caused him to groan.

However, he also became sober at this moment, looking at Zhao Yun, he felt so bitter in his heart.

"Zilong, where is Guorang?"

Zhao Yun said softly: "Guorang is looking for food, and he will be back in a while. My lord, rest well, let's go after eating..."

Gongsun Zan couldn't help laughing.

Zhao Yun, sometimes he is really honest and honest, which makes people love him from the bottom of his heart.

Gongsun Zan knew very well that his injury was serious.Moreover, Yuan Shao and Liu Yu wanted to take his life, so it was easier said than done if he wanted to leave alive.
Secretly made up his mind, Gongsun Zan said: "I regret that I did not listen to the advice of Guo Ren, but was tricked by a villain... It's a pity that I followed the white horse, but in the end there were only two of you left. Zilong, I still treated you before." The two of you have doubts, but today you can laugh at the loyalty of the two of you."

"Master..." Zhao Yun had a sore nose, and his voice was choked up, "My lord, Gao Yi, I have heard of it since I was a child. When the lord and Kong Ting killed the enemy, Yun admired him. I only hate Yun for not being strong, otherwise How could the lord be like this?"

Gongsun Zan smiled, "Zilong, the most proud thing in my life is to fight outside the Great Wall and frighten the foreigners. It's a pity that I was confused for a while. I wanted to gain benefits from the alliance of princes, but I didn't want to...Zilong, I only ask you for one thing If I die, please continue my wish. Kill Hu Bao’s family, and don’t let my Han Dynasty be persecuted by the barbarians and foreigners.”

Zhao Yun nodded, "Yun will always remember it in my heart!"

Gongsun Zan suddenly coughed violently, coughing up blood, his chest heaved violently, and his face became as pale as paper.

"Zilong, Zilong..."

Tian Yu came in suddenly and couldn't help being startled when he saw Gongsun Zan's appearance.

"My lord..."

"Guorang, why are you panicking? But did you see the pursuers?"

At this time, Gongsun Zan's thinking was very clear.

Tian Yu said: "I was looking for food just now, and I didn't want to see the light of torches from afar. It must be that the Jizhou pursuers are approaching."

Gongsun Zan motioned to Zhao Yun to help him up, and untied the sword from his ribs.

"This sword is named Ganjiang. It was given to me by my master Lu Gong back then, and I have been wearing it around me...Zilong, I will give you this sword today. I hope you will not live up to the name of the sword. You will seal my letter and go to Liaoxi Ling Zhi, find my brother Gongsun Fan. Ask him to contact the Hou family and raise troops to avenge me. But my brother... If you think he is worth protecting, then protect him; if not, you can find another master. I I heard that the army of Zhihou is stable now, you can go and vote for him."

"Zhihou? That's not Dong Zhuo's son..."

Zhao Yun also said: "That's right, my lord, if it wasn't for Dong Zhuo, why would it be here?"

Gongsun Zan laughed and said, "This covenant between the princes is just to get what they need. It sounds grand on the surface, but in fact...you get out of here quickly, and I will try to cover for you."

Zhao Yun supported Gongsun Zan and said, "My lord, if you want to go, let's go together!"

"Bastard, do you think you are a prince, but you can run amok in the army of thousands of horses? I understand my own situation. I can't do it anymore... If you take me, not only will you not be able to save me, but it will also cause you two to accompany me Die together. If you die, who will avenge me? Leave quickly, this is not a good time to be so childish!"

Zhao Yun was unwilling to leave, and Gongsun Zan was forced to die, so he had no choice but to ride away with Tian Yu on horseback.

In the distance, the sound of horseshoes could be heard faintly. Gongsun Zan leaned on the pile of firewood, but his thoughts became extremely blurred.

I remembered the joy of my childhood, the joy of studying under Master Lu, and the joy after many battles...

It's all over!

Gongsun Zan took a deep breath and sat up straight.

He took out the fire pocket from his waist, rubbed it on the ground, and a flame ignited.

Throw the fire pocket into the firewood pile, and the flame will burn quickly...

Gongsun Zan laughed loudly and sang Qin Feng Wuyi's song: Qi said Wuyi, wearing the same clothes as Zi.Wang Yuxing teacher, repairing my armor, walking with my son...

The flames grew bigger and bigger, and the flames rushed straight into the night.

Liu Bei led his pursuers to arrive, and when he heard the heroic singing from the flames from a distance, he couldn't help feeling sore in his heart.

Back then, I studied under Master Lu, and Master Lu loved this song without clothes the most.

Tears fell down involuntarily, "Bogui, why are you bothering, why are you bothering... Wouldn't it be better to go far away?"

It was difficult for Liu Bei to understand Gongsun Zan's heart.

In his eyes, home is just a very illusory synonym.

Brothers and warriors are the most important.But in Gongsun Zan's heart, home... is a holy place that he has been guarding all his life.

His wife and children were killed, and Gongsun Zan had nothing to love in life.

He sang loudly, sitting quietly in the sea of ​​fire, with an indifferent smile on his face.

"Liu Xuande, in the future you will not die well, you will not die well..."

With the roar of the tiger, the hut collapsed, flames shot up into the sky, and a wave of heat swept all directions.

Liu Bei reined in his horse and backed away, his face suddenly became extremely ugly.

After a long time, he said to himself: "Troubled times are coming, and the strong will survive. Bogui, I will not be like you, I will become stronger, I will become very powerful... One day, I will let all the bullies Those who pass me prostrate at my feet."
