Can I get to the other side?

In the plain, blood flows.

Gongsun Zan's final counterattack ended in a tragic defeat.

The ground was littered with corpses, both human and horse.

The blood mixed together, soaking the soil into a dark red color, exuding a sickly sweet smell.

Gongsun Zan had long since lost his breath, but he still stood tall in the bloody battlefield littered with corpses.

A spear will be pierced into his chest, nailing him to the ground along with the white horse beneath him.

His head hung weakly, his eyes still wide open.

The white horse general who once swept through Youzhou and frightened the foreign races he fought against finally died on the white horse.

Yuan Shao, accompanied by his generals, came to Gongsun Zan's body.

Although the enemy was dead, his expression was not at all happy, but rather gloomy.

Although he killed Gongsun Zan and almost wiped out all the Baima Yi Cong in this battle, he also lost over 10,000 troops and horses, which was an extremely heavy loss!

But what angered him most was not the loss of troops.

It was the humiliation given by Gongsun Zan!

"An empty city actually scared off my 30,000-strong army!"

"Gongsun Zan...you are really strategic and courageous!"

Yuan Shao's eyes were full of anger, and although he gritted his teeth with hatred, he also admired Gongsun Zan.

At this moment, how could he not understand that Yicheng was actually an empty city?

Gongsun Zan ambushed all his troops on the retreating road of the Jizhou army, just waiting for him to relax his vigilance and launch an ambush!

If he hadn't responded calmly and calmly in the face of danger, and the number of his troops far exceeded Gongsun Zan's, there's still no telling who would win in this battle.

It is even very possible that he is the one who dies in the end!

Tian Feng looked remorseful and said: "My Lord, I failed to see through the enemy's plan. This is my fault. Please forgive me, Lord!"

He really didn't expect that the other party would take risks.

Give up defense and choose to ambush and attack!

But no matter what, it is an indisputable fact that the army suffered serious losses. As the mastermind, he has an unshirkable responsibility, and he is willing to accept the punishment.

"laugh--!"

There was a flash of cold light and blood splattered everywhere.

While Tian Feng was talking, Yuan Shao chopped off Gongsun Zan's head with a sword, and then said with an expressionless face: "We will discuss the crime later. The most important thing right now is to capture Yicheng!"

"Send my military order and the army will set off!"

Basically all of Gongsun Zan's main force was lost here. Yicheng's defense must be empty, and it was the best time to capture it.

And as long as he can capture Yicheng, Youzhou will be in his palm, and he can accept the losses in this battle.

"promise!"

All the generals took orders one after another.

Soon after, the Jizhou army turned its direction again and headed towards Yicheng in a mighty manner.

…

Yicheng, city gate tower.

After Zhao Yun scared off Yuan Shao's army, he did not retreat. Instead, he continued to sit here, directing the common people acting as defenders to move back and forth, while waiting for news to come back from the front line.

"I don't know how the battle is going."

Zhao Yun looked at the smoke rising in the distance, knowing that the war had begun, but he didn't know what the situation was, and he felt a little worried.

If he still had soldiers and horses in his hands, he would definitely lead his troops to rush for reinforcements. Unfortunately, he only had 500 wounded soldiers in the city.

Just when he was worried, he saw a small group of white horses running towards Yicheng in the distance, and the leader was Jia Xu.

Jia Xu ran all the way to the outside of Yicheng and shouted anxiously to the city gate tower: "General Zilong, the ambush failed. Almost all the troops and horses were wiped out. Youzhou Mu died in the battle. His son Gongsun Xu led hundreds of The remaining soldiers fled to Jixian!"

"Yuan Shao has led the Jizhou army to attack Yicheng again. Please leave with me! You will definitely die if you stay in the city!"

Jia Xu believed in the wise way of protecting oneself.

He neither risked his life to defend the city nor followed Gongsun Zan's army. Instead, he only led fifty white horse followers to observe the situation outside the battlefield.

Seeing Gongsun Zan's death, he immediately chose to retreat, but after much hesitation, he decided to return to Yicheng to inform Zhao Yun.

It's not that he has a noble character, but because Liu Xie told him to recruit Zhao Yun.

That's why he came back in danger and planned to escape with Zhao Yun, otherwise he would have run out of smoke.

"What?!"

When he heard that the entire ambush army had been wiped out and that Gongsun Zan had died in battle, Zhao Yun was shocked, and then he felt grief and anger from the bottom of his heart!

He grabbed the spear in his hand and ordered with red eyes: "Call all the soldiers and horses in the city! Follow me to fight Yuan Shao's army and avenge the general!"

"I want Yuan Shao to repay his debt with blood!"

Although there were only 500 wounded soldiers in the city and there were thousands of enemy troops, he still had no fear. He only wanted to avenge Gongsun Zan now!

"I knew it!"

When Jia Xu heard this, he cursed in his heart, any one of these generals is a fucking reckless man, why are you going to die at a time like this?

Although he was annoyed, he still suppressed his anger and persuaded: "General Zilong, you are just hitting an egg against a stone and dying in vain!"

"If you really want to avenge General Gongsun, you must live! Your only hope for revenge is to come with me and serve His Majesty and serve His Majesty!"

"Do you want General Gongsun to die in peace?"

Zhao Yun gritted his teeth and held the spear tightly in his hand, hesitating between forbearing and going for revenge immediately, but in the end reason prevailed over emotion.

Because he knew that Jia Xu was right. Even if he killed Yuan Shao now, he would not be able to kill Yuan Shao in the midst of tens of thousands of troops. He would only die in vain.

Zhao Yun suppressed the anger in his heart, put on his armor and left the city gate tower, took the five hundred soldiers and horses in the city out of the city, and joined Jia Xu.

Seeing that Zhao Yun chose to die without any hesitation, Jia Xu finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then urged: "It's not too late, let's escape now. If we don't leave, it will be too late!"

The uneasiness in his heart became more and more serious.

He really took a huge risk this time.

"Just go with me!"

Zhao Yun nodded, and without saying a word, he led Jia Xu and the remaining troops toward the southeast, hoping to avoid Yuan Shao's returning army.

But I don’t know if there was a deviation in the escape route, or if Yuan Shao took a different route, but not even a mile away, he happened to encounter Yuan Shao’s returning army!

Tian Feng spotted Jia Xu's figure in the crowd at a glance. He was overjoyed and at the same time showed endless murderous intent.

"Lord! It's Jia Xu! It's that thief!"

"We can't let him escape again!"

Tian Feng's hatred for Jia Xu had already reached its peak, and he wanted to eat him alive. Now that he finally met him, he was not willing to let him go!

Yuan Shao's face was as dark as water, and he ordered coldly: "Yan Liang, Qu Yi! Each of you will lead five thousand soldiers and horses, and surround them from the left and right sides. Be sure not to let them escape!"

"Yuan Tan, kill from the middle!"

Facing Zhao Yun, he always had lingering fears. Even if the opponent only had 500 remnant troops, he did not dare to slack off at all and directly used a large number of troops to press forward!

"promise!"

Generals Yan Liang and Qu Yi took orders one after another.

The three armies strangled Zhao Yun menacingly!

"It's over!"

When Jia Xu saw this scene, his fat face suddenly turned pale. He felt extremely desperate and regretted that he should not have come back to call Zhao Yun.

I'm really going to die now!

But compared to Jia Xu, Zhao Yun was extra calm and ordered: "The opponent's left wing is relatively weak! Everyone follow me and kill on the left wing!"

"I'll clear the way!"

After saying that, he took the lead and led fifty white horse soldiers to kill to the left, like the tip of a spear!

At the moment, Jia Xu had no other choice but to grit his teeth and follow Zhao Yun with five hundred remaining soldiers to fight against Yan Liang's army!

Yan Liang also didn't expect that Zhao Yun would choose to fight head-on, pitting five hundred against five thousand people. He was shocked but also extremely cautious at the same time.

He has fought with Zhao Yun more than once, and he knows how terrifying Zhao Yun's force is, second only to Lu Bu among all the generals he has seen.

He was almost killed in the first fight, and now he faced Zhao Yun again. He felt huge pressure, as if he was facing an insurmountable mountain.

"Will you win?"

Yan Liang couldn't help but ask himself this in his heart.

Even if our own troops are far superior to Zhao Yun.

He still feels that victory or defeat is not certain.

But no matter what he thought, the armies of the two sides inevitably fought. Zhao Yun and the fifty white horse Yi Cong beside him rushed directly into the army formation and began to kill all sides!

Zhao Yun, who had been holding back his anger because of Gongsun Zan's death, was finally able to vent his anger at this moment. His fighting power was even more powerful than usual, and he could lead an army of only 500 to kill thousands of troops!

Wherever it goes, no one can stop it!

"The thief will die!"

Seeing this, Yan Liang finally couldn't help it anymore and led his troops to fight Zhao Yun, hoping to stop his forward momentum and make him fall into the encirclement of the army.

But how could Zhao Yun give Yan Liang such an opportunity? He charged forward with his spear drawn, but he was knocked off his horse in less than twenty rounds.

Although Yan Liang was lucky enough not to die, he also lost the ability to continue fighting. He could only watch as Zhao Yun led the remaining army like a strong wind passing through, piercing through the intercepting army on the left wing and running towards the south!

Five thousand men and horses could not stop him!

Seeing Zhao Yun's leaving figure, Yan Liang couldn't help but take off his helmet and smash it on the ground. It was extremely humiliating!

Yuan Shao also didn't expect that Zhao Yun could kill the army blocking the left wing with only 500 remaining troops, and he was even more afraid of him.

Such fierce generals are hard to find in the world.

Seeing this, Tian Feng couldn't help but said: "Lord! That thief Jia Xu is among the enemy troops. We can't let him go so easily!"

His hatred for Jia Xu made him unable to calm down at all.

This is a rare opportunity to kill Jia Xu!

Although Yuan Shao wanted to kill Jia Xu quickly, he knew better than revenge that the most important thing at the moment was Yicheng, so he could only endure the murderous intention and said:

"Zhang Yan has received Gongsun Zan's letter asking for help. It is very likely that he will lead the Black Mountain Army. Don't let him pluck the fruit. We must first capture Yicheng!"

If Yicheng is captured, Youzhou will be under control.

As for Jia Xu...

He will kill it with his own hands one day!

…

Zhao Yun led many remnants of the army and ran for a long distance. After confirming that there were no pursuers behind him, he stopped at a river to rest.

Jia Xu is still in shock.

He couldn't remember the last time he was so close to death. He really didn't expect that he could still come out alive in the face of Yuan Shao's tens of thousands of troops.

"Sir, are you okay?"

At this time, Zhao Yun came over and asked.

Jia Xu shook his head when he heard this, and said with a wry smile: "It's okay...if it weren't for the general's bravery, I'm afraid I would really have lost my life at the hands of Yuan Shao this time."

"But being able to face Yuan Shao's tens of thousands of troops and still fight out alive gives me more bragging rights in the future."

"You can declare to the outside world that I once fought with General Zilong in the midst of thousands of troops."

Jia Xu's words were full of self-mockery.

Just as Zhao Yun was about to say something, a soldier suddenly came to report: "We found the general's body on the battlefield over there!"

Not far from this stream is the plain where Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao's army fought. Just now, a soldier went to investigate the situation and found Gongsun Zan's body on the battlefield.

Zhao Yun hurried over with Jia Xu upon hearing this.

Then he saw Gongsun Zan's headless body.

"General!"

Zhao Yun cried bitterly and knelt down in front of Gongsun Zan's body. Many white horse volunteers behind him also knelt down with tears in their eyes.

Seeing this, Jia Xu sighed and said, "General Zilong, the dead cannot be resurrected. It is not your fault that we lost this battle. It is because the strength of Yuan thief is too strong."

"And General Gongsun died resisting Yuan thief. He is a loyal and devoted hero of the Han Dynasty. He deserves to die on horseback. You must inherit General Gongsun's will, serve the Han Dynasty, serve His Majesty, and fight against Yuan thief!"

Zhao Yun wiped away his tears fiercely and said in a deep voice, "I, Zhao Yun, swear to heaven! I will definitely inherit the general's will, assist His Majesty, support the Han Dynasty, and kill thieves for the country!!"

Many white horse volunteers also shouted, "Assist His Majesty, support the Han Dynasty, and kill thieves for the country!"

Jia Xu felt relieved and nodded with satisfaction.

It can be seen that Zhao Yun is loyal to the Han Dynasty.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to convince him to serve the emperor so easily.

After Zhao Yun buried Gongsun Zan's body, everyone left the battlefield and headed towards Yecheng.

…

Yecheng, Imperial Palace.

After many days, Liu Xie received another secret letter from Xu You from Xu County, but the content of the letter made him more and more confused.

"The emperor of Xu County... intends to turn the false into the true?"

Liu Xie looked at the letter, his face was confused, and his heart was even more confused.

He just didn't pay attention to the situation in Xu County for a while, how could the situation have reached such an outrageous situation.

Shouldn't turning the false into the true be his script.

Emperor Xian of Han even wants to rob this? !

With doubts, Liu Xie read Xu You's letter over and over again, and after killing countless brain cells, he finally figured out a little taste.

"I know. In the eyes of Yang Biao and Fu Wan, I am the real emperor who was replaced. Although they don't know who did it, it doesn't stop them from showing their loyalty."

"As for the head of the clan, Liu Ai, he saw that I was powerful and thought I had the hope of restoring the Han Dynasty, so he recognized me as the real emperor and wanted to ensure the continuation of the Han Dynasty."

"But what about Empress Fu... She is the queen, how could she not know the authenticity of Emperor Xian of Han?"

"What does Xu You mean when he said she wanted to get away with the abolition of the queen?"

The more Liu Xie thought about it, the more confused he became. Did they forget to bring him with them in the version update?

The people on Emperor Xian of Han's side defected one after another, making him doubt whether he was the real emperor.

Or was he a brother of Emperor Xian of Han from the same mother?

Just when Liu Xie was thinking about how to reply to Xu You, Guo Jia asked for an audience outside.

After receiving the summons, Guo Jia hurried into the Xuanshi Hall. After paying his respects, he said with an extremely ugly face:

"Your Majesty, I just received news that Gongsun Zan died in battle and Yuan Shao has captured Yicheng. The huge Youzhou is now in Yuan Shao's hands!"

After the words fell, Liu Xie's face suddenly changed.

Although he had long known that Gongsun Zan would inevitably be defeated, when this news came, his mood inevitably became heavy.

After Yuan Shao eliminated Gongsun Zan, his confidant and great enemy, he no longer had the risk of being attacked from all sides, and he also gained a state.

As the number one lord in the world, his strength increased again, bringing great pressure to Liu Xie.

"How is Wenhe?"

Guo Jia replied: "Wenhe is fine, he has returned."

On hearing this, Liu Xie's face eased a little.

If Jia Xu died in Youzhou, it would be a huge loss.

Guo Jia added: "During this trip, Wenhe also brought back Zhao Zilong, whom Your Majesty has been talking about for a long time."
