"Ah! Ah! Ah...!" screams came one after another. Before Gongsun Fan could see clearly what happened, he felt something stabbed him hard on his lower back. The heartbreaking pain immediately spread all over the place.
All over his body, a cool breeze poured into his body from his lower back. A big hand pinched his neck, and a bloody dagger appeared in front of him.
"You!" Looking at the messenger sent by Gongsun Zan, whom he relied heavily on, Gongsun Fan didn't understand how this could happen. Chen Dao looked at Gongsun Zan's eyes like dead fish and said coldly: "My name is Chen Dao, and I am from Naiwan City.
One of the four commanders of the Guards under General Long Fei, you should understand now!"
The short knife wiped Gongsun Fan's neck, and Gongsun Fan fell to the ground without saying a word. Those Youzhou soldiers on the city wall who had not been killed gathered together and were at a loss. Meng Shuo yelled: "Those who surrender will be spared death!"
He hurriedly knelt down and begged for surrender. When the others saw it, they all followed suit and surrendered. They opened the city gate and let Long Fei and others enter the city. Looking at the exquisitely designed defense, Long Fei was amazed.
Xu Chu, who stayed in the city, successfully occupied the fortress. When Long Fei saw this building, he suddenly thought of the castles of European nobles in the Middle Ages. The thing Gongsun Zan built with stones was very similar to those castles except that it had no spire. With today's warfare methods
, as long as the food and water sources inside are guaranteed, having many people outside will not help.
The underground of the fortress is a place where food is stored. Mountains of grain, boxes of gold and silver, and all kinds of rare antiques collected by Gongsun Zan almost fill the entire basement. To be honest, it would be hard not to be tempted after seeing these things.
Saint, Long Fei is not a saint, so he glanced at Guo Jia. The meaning was very obvious, that is, to ask how to send these things back to Wancheng.
Guo Jia shook his head slightly. Long Fei was a little disappointed. Zhen Rao is a transparent person. He knew what Long Fei had in mind when he saw the flirtations between Guo Jia and Long Fei. He said: "General Long, can you listen to me?"
"Brother Zhen, please speak!"
Zhen Rao casually grabbed a handful of grain and slowly let it flow through his fingers: "Grain is a good thing, but it is not easy to preserve. Why doesn't the general distribute this grain to the people in Yi County and nearby areas? The people will definitely be interested in it."
The general is grateful. If the general leads his troops here in the future, the people here will definitely remember the general's kindness, just like how Feng Yuan treated Lord Mengchang back then."
Everyone agreed with Zhen Rao's statement. Dian Wei asked: "Now that the food problem has been solved, what about the gold and silver calligraphy and paintings? The boss is a money man!"
Everyone laughed. Zhen Rao also laughed and said: "This is easy to handle. Find a place to hide it. Gongsun Zan can't find it, and Yuan Shao can't find it. These things will not deteriorate even if they are left for a hundred years. In the future, the general will
It’s not too late to take it back after occupying this place!”
"Hey!" Dian Wei patted Zhen Rao and said with a chuckle: "Looking at your gentleness, I didn't expect you to have a lot of clever ideas. You can compare with Xiao Guozi! Boss, let's just listen to him!"
The gates of Yixian County were wide open, and Long Fei, as the special envoy of the imperial court, announced the opening of a warehouse to release grain. As long as the people who came came were given a load of grain, the people of Yixian County came in droves. In peacetime, food is like air to everyone.
It's the same, it's so normal, no one will care about it. In times of turmoil, you will suddenly find that no matter how rich you are and there is no food, you will starve to death. In order to feed the huge army, the major princes are eager to plant the common people.
If all the meager grain was received in his own hands, who would give it away? When the people of Yi County saw the mountains of grain piled at the gate of the castle, they really believed it.
All the people looked at it with smiles. They first bowed to Long Fei who was standing in the distance, and then hurriedly ran over to get their own food. First in Yi County, and slowly extended to nearby villages, the people who heard the news
Gathered in Yixian County. Long Fei took the opportunity to mobilize them to leave temporarily. There was a big battle in Yixian County, so the people took shelter first. Now Long Fei has risen to the level of a saint in the hearts of the people, so he naturally obeys his words.
When Gongsun Zan led his defeated troops and retreated to Yixian County, he felt that the entire Yixian County was different. Everywhere he passed was uninhabited, as if he had entered a ghost town. If Yuan Shao's army hadn't been chasing behind him, Gongsun Zan would have definitely figured it out.
What happened? But Gongsun Zan is not in such a mood right now. In the battle of Fan Yang, Yuan Shao attacked quickly and seized the city wall in one fell swoop. He personally led his men to fight Yuan Shao. His generals Yan Gang and Zou Dan were killed in the battle, and his son Gongsun Xu was injured. His only think tank
Guan Jing didn't know whether to live or die. He relied on Bai Ma Yi to fight his way out of the siege and ran to Zhuo County overnight to catch his breath. He gathered the defeated troops and lost most of his 50,000 troops. Youzhou, which he had worked hard for several years, was occupied by Yuan Shao.
Half of the nearby states and counties saw the situation and surrendered, which made Gongsun Zan the most angry.
Seeing the city wall of Yi County from a distance, Gongsun Zan finally showed a smile on his face: "Brothers, work harder, we are almost there!"
The big Gongsun war flag at the top of Yi County city was fluttering in the wind. Gongsun Zan let out a long breath and hurriedly sent people to call the city. In a short time, the city gate opened and a group of soldiers rushed out. One of them knelt down and saluted: "General Gongsun
Order to welcome the lord into the city!"
"Where's Gongsun Fan?"
"General, I caught a cold yesterday and couldn't stay at home for a while, so I sent my junior general to greet me. Please forgive me, my lord!"
Gongsun Zan was not in the mood to embarrass his younger brother on this matter. He waved his hand to let the man get up, and he took the lead and entered the city first. These defenses in Yi County were all designed by himself, as well as the Wengcheng and the deep ditch. Yuan Shao would not have come.
Forget it, if he dares to come, let him have a taste of it. After passing the Wengcheng, crossing the ravine on the wooden board, heading towards the fortress. I haven't even had a good sleep these days. There is also my child, I should find him immediately
Only a doctor can treat it.
Stepping into the gate of the fortress, Gongsun Zan turned over and dismounted, and two Yi Cong on white horses hurriedly stepped forward to help him. A young general stood on the steps not far away, with several burly men standing beside him. Several of them were Gongsun Zan.
It turned out to be Xian Yufu and the others: "Why are you here!"
"Bang!" The door behind him suddenly closed. There were screams in the distance, and a faint smell of blood floated from the direction of the city wall. Xian Yufu laughed loudly: "Gongsun Zan, you are still in my hands now.
What can you say?"
Tarun took a step forward and glared at Gongsun Zan fiercely: "Do you still know me?"
Gongsun Zan looked at it for a long time and shook his head. "Then let me remind you. Six years ago, you slaughtered a Xianbei tribe near Mayi, leaving no man, woman, age or child left! I am the leader of that tribe!" Talon said on one side.
Said, while approaching Gongsun Zan, Gongsun Zan stepped back step by step.
Gongsun Zan didn't seem to remember yet. Long Fei smiled: "General Gongsun, do you still remember your group of white horses?"
"You!" When Gongsun Zan mentioned the white horse, the scene of him being humiliated immediately appeared in Gongsun Zan's mind. The traitor Zhao Yun betrayed him. Long Fei restrained himself and robbed his white horse of Yi Cong's white horse: "Are you Long Fei?"
"Hahaha..." Long Fei laughed loudly: "General Gongsun's memory is not bad. Do you still remember me? Come, let's talk inside."
At this stage, Gongsun Zan knew what his fate would be. He could be considered a hero after all, but he felt calm when he was really going to die. He walked into the castle with his head held high and his chest held high with a sense of justice. The furnishings inside were decorated by himself, and he also
Without moving as it was, Gongsun Zan walked to the main seat unconsciously, turned around, and sat down.
Everyone under Long Fei was angry, but Long Fei chuckled: "This is General Gongsun's seat, so there is no harm in letting him sit here!"
"Hahaha..." Gongsun Zan laughed loudly: "Long Fei, do you think you should thank me? If I hadn't given you those white horses on the grassland outside the Great Wall, you might have starved to death on the way and wouldn't have been able to reach Luoyang.
Wouldn’t there be no achievements today?”
Long Fei smiled slightly and nodded. Gongsun Zan continued: "So I can be considered your benefactor. What do you want to do with me? To be cut into pieces or something else?"
"I can't make the decision!" Long Fei waved his hand: "Brother Xianyu and my brother Talen are both here. They have the final say on how to deal with you!"
"Oh! Yes, they have the final say." Gongsun Zan looked at Talun and then at Xian Yufu and the others, then turned to Long Fei and said, "I, Gongsun Zan, deserve death. General Long, can you promise me not to embarrass me?"
Those soldiers who came! They have nothing to do with our grudges!"
"Don't worry! I understand this." Long Fei nodded, stood up slowly, turned around and walked out the door, saying as he walked: "Get some food for General Gongsun and his son, don't starve to death!"
Yuan Shao led his army galloping all the way, and when they were approaching Yixian County, the front army suddenly came to report that Gongsun Zan had entered Yixian County, and Yixian County was tightly defended, making it difficult to capture in a hurry. In addition, they found some strange men and horses, who did not look like Gongsun Zan.
Yuan Shao quickly stopped the army and sent scouts to check. In the battle of Fan Yang, Gongsun Zan was almost defeated by Yuan Shao. If Baima Yicong hadn't fought his way out of the encirclement, Yuan Shao would have been sure to destroy Gongsun Zan. Now there are strange soldiers in Yi County.
Horse, maybe Gongsun Zan has another trick up his sleeve.
Shen Pei said: "Previous intelligence showed that Gongsun Zan had hoarded a large amount of grain and grass in Yixian County. Gongsun Zan was like a lost dog all the way, but he stopped moving forward when he reached Yixian County. We should be careful."
Tian Feng shook his head: "Gongsun Zan is at odds with the barbarians, and I haven't heard of the Black Mountain Army's movement towards the Great Wall. Where did the defenders of Yi County come from?"
"Report...!" The messenger ran in and knelt down and said: "My lord, there is General Long Fei outside the door asking to see you!"
Jushou chuckled: "My lord, it seems that these troops are related to Long Fei. Guo Tu once said that Long Fei was very close to Liu Yu's old ministers. It seems true! Xian Yufu still has more than 20,000 troops under his command. If Xian Yufu takes Yi
County, Gongsun Zan will definitely die!"
Yuan Shao didn't say anything. The messenger didn't know whether to leave or stay. He knelt on the ground and didn't dare to get up. Yuan Shao had a dark face: "We fought to the death with Gongsun Zan, and Long Fei actually took advantage, hum!"
Tian Feng said: "Lord, please calm down. Long Fei is also an envoy of the imperial court after all. Since we have been granted the title of general, we still have to give him some face! Why not call him in and listen to what he means? If you want to stay in Hebei, you must not do it."
