Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

Chapter 72: The End of the Hero

In the spring of the second year of Xingping, in Lu Bu's imagination and collected information, everyone should be licking their wounds quietly at this time. War should not happen at this time. However, this is just a normal situation, and Lu Bu did not calculate The sense of oppression he brought to the princes of the Kanto.

At least Yuan Shao was already a little worried about the existence of Lu Bu, which also prompted him to desperately want to destroy Gongsun Zan.

Gongsun Zan’s big defeat at the end of last year caused Gongsun Zan to lose even the most important Yi capital, and Yuan Shao chased him all the way regardless of the cost. , but looking at the huge Youzhou, only Yuyang County is barely in his hands.

It was only at this moment that Gongsun Zan gradually realized how much Liu Yu's death had affected him. When the imperial court issued an edict, almost all officials in Youzhou turned to Yuan Shao.

He knew that the imperial edict was just an inducement, and the real reason was that these people recognized from the bottom of their hearts that it was Liu Yu and not himself. How many of the people who chased him this time were Liu Yu's former generals?

But is there anything wrong with me?

Gongsun Zan didn't realize that he was at fault, Liu Yu was partial to the barbarian, and even helped the barbarian to suppress him, who could bear it?

"Master!" Zou Jing said hesitantly when he saw Gongsun Zan in a daze when he entered the hall.

"How many soldiers and horses do I have left?" Gongsun Zan took a deep breath and said vigorously.

"It's less than five thousand!" Zou Jing said bitterly.

five thousand! ?

Gongsun Zan was a little taken aback. You know, when he confronted Yuan Shao, he had at least 50,000 elites in his hands. How long has it been since there are only 5,000 left?

But thinking about Yuan Shao chasing after him like a lunatic, although Gongsun Zan didn't want to accept it, but... so what if he didn't accept it? Yuan Shao wouldn't let him go just because he didn't accept it, but now there is only one county left, so what if he regroups?

There is one thing that Gongsun Zan still can't understand, why Yuan Shao would rather fight him to the end with both sides hurt? Now he has been defeated, but although Yuan Shao won the territory, he is not feeling well, right?

No one can give Gongsun Zan the answer. This is also the biggest difference between Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao. Around him, there are no advisers who can help him plan the future and clarify the situation in the world, so what he sees are Youzhou, Jizhou and Qingzhou. state land.

However, the root cause of Yuan Shao's pursuit of Gongsun Zan regardless of the cost was actually Lu Bu. Lu Bu took the two places of Hedong and Shangdang, and began to gather people in Heluo again, which brought great pressure to Yuan Shao.

Regardless of whether Lu Bu has the idea of ​​entering the Tuyuan, Yuan Shao needs to urgently stabilize the rear and focus all his attention on the Central Plains, so Gongsun Zan must be cleared as soon as possible no matter what.

Just because he didn't know these things, Gongsun Zan thought that Yuan Shao might be crazy. Even if he captured Youzhou, Yuan Shao's vitality would be seriously injured. What was he trying to do?

"Who else is there among the generals?" Gongsun Zan forced himself to cheer up. Yan Gang was dead, and his brother was dead, so there were no generals around him now.

Zou Jing shook his head, but did not speak, not to mention generals, ordinary generals are gone.

"I remember... the young general who saved me at Jieqiao before was called..." Gongsun Zan thought of a man. If no one used him, this man might be promoted to general.

"Zhao Yun?" Zou Jing remembered that man. Although Baima Yicong was strong, he had never seen anyone who could advance and retreat freely in the chaos like Zhao Yun. Even though Zhao Yun saved Gongsun Zan in a crisis, he couldn't be promoted.

Now that the general was almost dead, Gongsun Zan remembered that there was such a person by his side.

"Yes, that's him. Is he still in the army?" Gongsun Zan nodded. This young general should be useful. Now that there is a shortage of generals in the army, let him take the lead first.

Zou Jing shook his head and said, "Not long after saving the general, he resigned and returned to his hometown. He said that his elder brother passed away and he went back to his hometown to deal with the funeral affairs. My lord also agreed at that time."

"Yes, that's right, I agreed!" Gongsun Zan closed his eyes. At this time, it is impossible for Zhao Yun to come back, and it is better to leave, so as to save one person from death.

"In other words, how long have you been following me?" Gongsun Zan asked.

"It's been ten years since I followed the lord in Zhongping." Zou Jing's heart sank a little. When most people start to look back on the past, they usually have the will to die. Gongsun Zan gave people this feeling at the moment. Gongsun Zan looked a little lonely, and Zou Jing didn't know how to persuade him for a while.

"Ten years." Gongsun Zan laughed and said, "When a certain festival was held in prison, Yuan Shao was frightened by Lu Bu and cried on the ground. In those days, apart from my white horse righteousness, which other princes could defeat Lu Bu? Now... ...I, Baima Yicong... Baima Yicong... If Baima Yicong is still here, why should I be afraid of Yuan Shao!?"

As he spoke, his eyes turned red. In the battle of Jieqiao, Baima Yicong was almost abolished, and all the soldiers who had followed him for many years died. It was also at that time that Gongsun Zan began to turn from prosperity to decline. Baima Yicong felt infinitely sad in his heart. If Baima Yicong was here at this time, even if he was at the end of the road, Gongsun Zan would have the confidence to fight for a way out. Unfortunately, Baima Yicong was wiped out in the first battle, and there were only less than five thousand ordinary soldiers around him.

Zou Jing sighed and did not answer. In fact, Gongsun Zan's defeat was not just a loss of the righteousness of the white horse. There were many problems. For example, the soldiers were surrounded and could not be rescued. Jing and the others had persuaded Gongsun Zan, but it was a pity that Gongsun Zan killed Liu Yu only for his own personal anger. All of a sudden, Gongsun Zan lost all his allies, and the only ones who could unite were bandits like the Black Mountain Bandit, but what's the use?

Yuan Shao couldn't destroy the Black Mountain Bandit only because the Black Bandit was hidden in the mountains, not because of how powerful the Black Bandit was, if it weren't for the Taihang Mountains, the Black Bandit would have been wiped out by Yuan Shao long ago and there would be nothing left.

What's the use of saying this now?

"Today, if I..." Gongsun Zan wanted to say something, but saw a general come in from outside the door, bowed to Gongsun Zan and said, "My lord, Yuan Shao's army has arrived outside the city, and..."

"What else!?" Gongsun Zan looked at him with a frown: "Don't be so hesitant, what's the point? Say it!"

"Here!" The general nodded, bowed and said, "I also arrested the family members of the lord and threatened the guards outside the city to open the city gate."

Gongsun Zan's eyes turned cold when he heard the words, he grabbed his spear and said, "Assemble all generals and leave the city!"

The desolate sound of the horn resounded at the top of Hunu City. Yuan Shaojun outside the city heard the sound of the horn, and all of them looked solemn. This is the horn representing Gongsun Zan's attack. Gongsun Zan is going out of the city?

This is a good thing, but Gongsun Zan's attack power should not be underestimated. If he is not careful, he may break through.

The city gate opened, and Gongsun Zan rushed out with the remaining soldiers. Although there were less than 5,000 soldiers left, the momentum was quite strong. There were at least 20,000 Yuan troops outside the city, but the momentum of Gongsun Zan's army was not weak at all. other side.

But in front of Yuan Jun's formation, it wasn't Yuan Jun's general, nor was it an archer, but a group of weeping women, all of whom were Gongsun Zan's wife, Hou Shi, and a group of concubines. Immediately, Shi cried louder, begging Gongsun Zan to save him.

"Yuan Benchu!" Gongsun Zan rode his horse to the front of the formation, his icy eyes swept across the opposing army formation like a knife, and he shouted loudly, "It's not as good as your wife and children, what do you mean!?"

Naturally, it was impossible for Yuan Shao to be in front of the battle. Someone relayed Gongsun Zan's words to Yuan Shao. Soon, a general rushed out and shouted at Gongsun Zan, "Gongsun Bogui, as long as you are willing to surrender, you will not embarrass your wife and children. Youzhou has already been fought to this point, no one wants to continue fighting, I want you to be brave, if you are willing to surrender, you will not be treated badly!"

"Back when the Hulao was closed, Lu Bu scared you so much that you lost your bearing. If I surrendered to you, wouldn't the world think that I am as useless as you!?" Gongsun Zan raised his head and looked at Hou: "Madam, I'm afraid no?"

Looking at Gongsun Zan's direction from the air, Hou shook her head slowly, and shouted loudly, "Husband, don't think about being a concubine!"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for the people around him to react, he slammed into the blade of the soldier around him, wiping off his own neck.

Gongsun Zan's eyes widened angrily, he squeezed the long spear tightly in his hand, and looked at those concubines, seeing the crying women begging him to surrender, Gongsun Zan chuckled, "Madam still understands me!"

Hanging the long lance on the horse's back, he raised the longbow with his hands, and shot an arrow at the concubine who was crying the most. That was the concubine he loved the most, but he was killed by himself at this moment However, Gongsun Zan didn't feel sorry for him at all. The only thing he felt sorry for was his wife, but she was dead!

"Gongsun Zan, don't make mistakes!" Ju Yi shouted, looking at Gongsun Zan before the formation of the two armies.

"Self-mistake?" Gongsun Zan said proudly, "I, Gongsun Zan, have been fighting all my life. Even if I made mistakes, I won't wait for these idiots to judge me. Yuan Benchu, if you can't kill me today, you can stay!"

After finishing speaking, he took the lead and rushed to the enemy's formation. The five thousand soldiers behind him were infected by him, and rushed towards the opponent's camp one by one with a roar. How could those concubines in the front row be his entanglements at this moment? Instead, it became a burden to the other party.

Yuan Jun never thought that Gongsun Zan was so stubborn, everyone was stunned, only Ju Yi reacted the fastest, and quickly ordered to shoot arrows, but the crossbowmen who climbed the crossbow first relied on the boundary bridge to break the white horse, and now they are in this open place. It was impossible to defeat Gongsun Zan's cavalry with the original method.

Moreover, Gongsun Zan obviously had the will to die, and rushed over almost suicidally. On this battlefield, one general will do his best, and no one can stand in the way. Fate, the first Wuhuan soldiers who came to kill were directly defeated by Gongsun Zan, and then rushed straight to Yuan Shao's commander-in-chief without stopping...
