Three Kingdoms: Liu Bei seeks the master and seeks to conquer the world

Chapter 278 Gongsun Zhishang, Yuan Shao who went mad

Gongsun Zan took advantage of the dusk to attack Zhuocheng by surprise. After entering the city, instead of entangled with Zhuocheng's soldiers and horses, he went straight to the palace.

At the beginning, the judge hadn't figured out Gongsun Zan's purpose.

But seeing Gongsun Zan enter the palace and come out in a hurry, with a package tied to his armor, the judge had already guessed the reason for Gongsun Zan's surprise attack on Zhuocheng.

Not for the purpose of attacking the city, but entering the city to rob like the horse bandits in Saibei.

There is only one thing in Zhuocheng that Gongsun Zan can risk to rob, and that is: the Jade Seal of Chuanguo!

Gongsun Zan glanced at the judge coldly, and his tone was a little more contemptuous: "Keep it? Is this yours?"

"In the past, Yuan Benchu ​​colluded with the three kings of Wuhuan to lead Ben general out of the city, and made a surprise attack on Zhuocheng to snatch the imperial jade seal. Today, Ben will seize this imperial jade seal again. This is called returning the property to the original owner."

"Assessment, if you don't want to die, get out of here!"

"Yuan Benchu's generals are not here, who can stop this general in Zhuocheng?"

The examiner gritted his teeth: "Gongsun Zan, you are just a warrior, you don't know the secrets of the art of war and formation. So what if you don't have a general? This long history will still capture you!"

"Strongbowmen onward!"

All the soldiers with strong crossbows obeyed their orders and moved forward.

Gongsun Zan's expression changed instantly.

In the confrontation with Yuan Shao, these strong crossbowmen made Gongsun Zan suffer a lot.

Yuan Shao's biggest advantage over Gongsun Zan is his strong background!

To put it simply, it is rich!

The cavalry is not as good as Gongsun Zan?
Build strong bows and crossbows, and train a large number of crossbowmen to increase the lethality at medium and long distances.

In addition, Yuan Shao has three hundred horse armors!

Horse armor that can form heavy cavalry!
If Yuan Shao hadn't sent his army south to take away the [-] horse armor and [-] heavy cavalry guarding the gate of the palace, Gongsun Zan would have been left in despair.

In addition to Ma Kai, Yuan Shao also has Armor Wanling.

These armors are not armors worn by ordinary soldiers, but armors specially prepared for generals.

Why did Yuan Shao dare to claim that he has a thousand members of good generals?

Even if it's just a group of third-rate generals, wearing a large armor, their combat power can directly enter the second-rate.

Isn't it just a good general?
The general's armor is completely incomparable with the armor of ordinary soldiers.

This is the prestige of Yuanmen, and the blessing of money ability.

"Fight to the death!"

Gongsun Zan's eyes were full of red threads.

There is fatigue and anger.

This group of cavalry followed Gongsun Zan with the will to die, and they were not afraid of death at all.

Kill one is enough, kill two to earn one.

If you can't kill any of them, then block the arrows for Pao Ze.

Looking at the brave cavalry pawns, the judge's eyes became more chilly.

"Gongsun Zan came prepared, and those who came were all fighters to the death."

"If Gongsun Zan escapes by chance, I will be ashamed to see the general."

Given Yuan Shao's current reputation in Hebei and Beyond the Great Wall, whether or not the Jade Seal is passed on will not affect Yuan Shao's control over the three prefectures.

But if the Chuanguo Yuxi was really lost, then to Yuan Shao personally, it would be tantamount to Gongsun Zan stepping on the ground and rubbing Yuan Shao with his heels to humiliate him.

How could Yuan Shao bear it?

But beside the examiner, Liu Ye was horrified in his heart: "Gongsun Zan actually snatched the Jade Seal of Chuanguo?"

Liu Ye is Zheng Ping's secret son who hides beside the judge, the purpose is to gain the trust of the judge so that he can cooperate with him in the future.

However, at this moment, Liu Ye hesitated.

Although I don't know why Gongsun Zan suddenly came to snatch the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom, if the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom can return to Qingzhou, it will definitely increase Liu Bei's reputation.

Whether to try to help Gongsun Zan leave, or continue to complete Zheng Ping's latent mission, Liu Ye was a little undecided for a while.

a long time.

In the end, Liu Ye chose to continue completing Zheng Ping's latent mission, approaching the judge and said, "Chang Shi, now that the jade seal is in Gongsun Zan's hands, what about the Son of Heaven?"

The judge's complexion changed drastically again.

Liu Ye quickly said: "The emperor must have nothing to do. Please order me to enter the palace. If Gongsun Zan is really ruthless and kills the emperor, those who know about it in the palace must be strictly guarded. And Gongsun Zan's cavalry, none of them can stay!"

The judge nodded: "Aye, I will give you a hundred bodyguards, and you will immediately enter the palace in a detour."

Liu Ye's reminder made the judge aware of a bigger crisis.

The Jade Seal of Chuanguo is lost, Yuan Shao can still coerce the emperor to make dissatisfaction.

But if the emperor is dead, Yuan Shao will not be able to act as a general of the Han Dynasty.

If the news leaks out, Youji Bingzhou will be in turmoil because of it!
Even if Yuan Shao can finally stabilize the three states, it will take a lot of time.

For the North and South forces, time is precisely the most precious thing.

Whoever can buy time to accumulate more strength will have an advantage in the future North-South War.

"Send an order to let go of an enemy army, and all generals above Dubo will be punished!"

"The supervisory team stepped forward, and those who retreated will be killed immediately!"

The audition has also started to be ruthless.

Although this harsh military order will arouse the hatred of the generals in the army, but the military order is like a mountain, at this moment, no one dares to violate the military order of the trial.

Liu Ye led strong crossbowmen to the palace, and found the false emperor Liu Kai who had been beheaded in the bedroom.

"Gongsun Zan, a lunatic, came to Zhuocheng this time to kill the false emperor and seize the jade seal."

"This is also my chance to completely win the trust of the trial!"

A trace of coldness flashed across Liu Ye's eyebrows, and he immediately found a little eunuch who was similar in stature to Liu Kai, and asked the little eunuch to wear a dragon robe and pretend to be Liu Kai.

At the same time, let the probationary guards walk around the palace deliberately with the fake Liu Kai, for fear that the palace ladies and eunuchs will not see the fake Liu Kai.

Afterwards, Liu Ye came to the gate of the palace with the fake Liu Kai in his arms, and shouted, "Your Majesty is here to kill the rebels!"
At this time, Gongsun Zan had less than a hundred riders left by his side.

Hearing Liu Ye's voice suddenly, Gongsun Zan looked at the palace gate in astonishment.

"how is this possible?"

Seeing that Liu Kui was still alive, the judge was much less worried. He laughed and mocked Gongsun Zan: "Gongsun Zan, you are desperate."

Gongsun Zan's face also turned livid.

Gongsun Zan knew whether the dead Liu Kai was real or not!
Gongsun Zan also wanted to understand why another Liu Xing appeared at the gate of the palace.

It must be that the judge found out that Liu Kai was dead, so he found a substitute to pretend to be Liu Kai.

Liu Kai was originally a puppet, whether it is true or not is not important to Yuan Shao today.

As long as someone believes that Liu Kai at the gate of the palace is real, that's enough!
"All generals, follow this general!"

Gongsun Zan originally thought that if he couldn't get out, he would shout that Liu Kai was dead before he died.

There are so many military academy soldiers, eunuchs and maids present, it is impossible for the judges to kill all of them!
However, now that Liu Xing appeared at the gate of the palace, no one would believe what Gongsun Zan said.

If he couldn't take away the Chuanguo Yuxi, then coming to Zhuocheng this time would really be a dead end.

Gongsun Zan roared, turned around and charged at the fake Liu Kai.

The examiner was shocked and quickly ordered soldiers to guard him.

Unexpectedly, Gongsun Zan was halfway through the charge, and then turned around and headed straight for the judge.

"It's hit!"

The judge was so shocked that he could hardly hold the sword in his hand.

Gongsun Zan's battlefield experience is too rich.

Pretending to kill the fake Liu Kai, but counter-killing the trial match when the trial match adjusted the army formation.

What surprised the judge even more was that when Gongsun Zan was halfway through the charge, he changed direction again and charged at the weak point of the formation.

"Old man, you can't stop me, I will take the Jade Seal of the Kingdom, I will take it away! Haha——"

Gongsun Zan succeeded in breaking through, but he did not forget to turn around and mock the judge.

The judge was humiliated by Gongsun Zan repeatedly, and his face was already blue with anger. He gritted his teeth and ordered: "Chase! If you live, you must see people, and if you die, you must see corpses! If Gongsun Zan escapes, you and the others will be punished by the general!"

Seeing Gongsun Zan break through the encirclement, Liu Ye came to Shenpei and whispered for a while.

The judge's eyes also gradually turned cold: "Aye, you did a good job on this matter! When the general returns, I will show credit for you."

"Quickly draw up a call for me, and you can spread the call to Youji and the counties of the three prefectures."

"Just write that the traitor Gongsun Zan intends to assassinate His Majesty. Although His Majesty is not in danger of life, his left arm was injured. The emperor's injury is a disgrace to the subjects. Anyone who harbors Gongsun Zan will be punished by the nine clans! Those who capture Gongsun Zan alive will be sealed as Marquis of Ten Thousand Households! The rest can provide their whereabouts. Reward a hundred gold!"

Liu Ye's heart trembled.

He just told the judge that the emperor was killed by Gongsun Zan, and now the emperor is a eunuch pretending to be the emperor, and the judge has already made a targeted response plan.

First spread the message to all the counties, admitting that the emperor was assassinated by Gongsun Zan but denying that the emperor was killed, and on the grounds that the emperor's injury was a shame to the subjects, they wanted to arrest Gongsun Zan in the three prefectures.

Although Liu Kai's assassination is a scandal, this can avoid rumors that Liu Kai was killed.

Abandoning the army to protect the commander is also the helplessness of the trial and assignment.

Liu Ye took the order and reminded: "Chang Shi, beware of Xu You taking the opportunity to attack!"

The judge took a deep breath, and said coldly: "Don't worry! Xu You is also not clean. If he dares to take the opportunity to make trouble, I dare to fight him to the death."

the other side.

After Gongsun Zan broke out of Zhuocheng, he dispersed the remaining dozens of horsemen and sent them all to Qingzhou.

Gongsun Zan, on the other hand, took a small path and circled around, and fled in the direction of You Beiping.

After running wildly for several days, Gongsun Zan arrived in Xuwu County.

Outside Xuwu County, there is a Xuwu Mountain.

There lived a hermit in this mountain, surnamed Tian Mingchou, who was originally Liu Yu's subordinate official.

After Liu Yu went to Qingzhou, Tian Chou returned to Wuzhong County.

Not wanting to be conquered by Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao, Tian Chou went to Xu Wushan to live in seclusion, found a deep mountain and old forest, and built a garden outside the world.

Originally, Tian Chou's family lived in seclusion. Later, Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao began to fight each other, and a large number of people fled to Xuwu Mountain to attach themselves to Tian Chou.

Gongsun Zan also learned that Tian Chou was in Xuwu Mountain.

By night.

Gongsun Zan quietly entered Xu Wushan, abandoned his horse, armor and weapons, and found Tian Chou's residence after several inquiries.

Seeing Gongsun Zan coming uninvited, Tian Chou pulled out his long sword subconsciously: "Gongsun Zan, how did you find this place?"

Gongsun Zan didn't say much, and threw the package containing the jade seal of Chuanguo to Tian Chou: "Tian Zitai, I will know that you have been favored by Liu Yu and have met Liu Xie in Chang'an, so you would rather live in seclusion here than respond." I and Yuan Benchu's conquest."

"This is the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, which was snatched from the Zhuocheng Palace a few days ago. If you still remember your kindness with Liu Yu, it will be hard for you to take a trip to Qingzhou."

Tian Chou was taken aback and quickly opened the package.

Seeing the Jade Seal of Chuanguo in the package, Tian Chou's tone also became angry: "Gongsun Zan, do you know how much disaster you will bring to the people of Xu Wushan when you bring this thing?"

Gongsun Zan sneered: "Don't worry, I will be prepared. I will go to Wuhuan King Tadun. As long as I die in the tribe of the Wuhuan people, the imperial seal will naturally be in the hands of the Wuhuan people."

"Taking advantage of this time, you can go to Qingzhou by boat on the Bohai Sea."

Tian Chou looked at Gongsun Zan with more complicated eyes: "Why don't you cross the Bohai Sea to Qingzhou by yourself?"

Gongsun Zan turned around and said, "If this general goes to Qingzhou, how will Xuande deal with himself? Tian Zitai, do you really not understand the pros and cons?"

"The general's family is currently in Qingzhou. If the Imperial Seal is sent to Qingzhou, Xuande can justifiably protect the general's family."

"And Tian Zitai, you will have a detached position in Qingzhou from now on. With Xuande around for a day, no one will dare to touch you, Tian Zitai, and you can also meet your old master Liu Yu!"

"That's all for now. If you don't want to send the imperial seal to Qingzhou, you can give it to Yuan Shao. With the credit for sending the imperial seal back, you Tian Zitai is enough to be a Marquis!"

Gongsun Zan came and left quickly.

Looking at the Chuanguo Yuxi in front of him, Tian Chou quickly made a decision.

If Chuan Guo Yuxi stays in Xu Wushan, it will bring disaster to the upper body.

If he wanted to save his life, Tian Chou could only go to Qingzhou!

Unless Tian Chou is willing to respond to Yuan Shao's conquest.

"Gongsun Zan, you are quite a character."

Gongsun Zan didn't want to go to Qingzhou, and Tian Chou could naturally guess the reason.

No matter how good the personal relationship between Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan is, Gongsun Zan has committed the crime of punishing the nine clans.

It is difficult for Liu Bei to keep Gongsun Zan's family!

If the jade seal of the Chuan Kingdom arrived in Qingzhou, and Liu Bei had contributed to presenting the jade seal again, Liu Xie would not blame Gongsun Zan's family in the face of Liu Bei.

Whether it is public or private, sending the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom to Qingzhou is Gongsun Zan's best choice!

And Gongsun Zan chose to go to Wuhuan alone. Apart from not wanting to embarrass Liu Bei and buy time for Tian Chou to go to Qingzhou, he also had the idea of ​​​​choosing his own belonging.

The White Horse General who killed Wuhuan so much that he dared not go south, even if he died, he would die in the battle with the Wuhuan people.

This is the pride of Gongsun Zan!

outside the plug.

Gongsun Zan took a last look at Liaoxi with nostalgia, and then rode alone to kill the Wuhuan tribe.

the other side.

Yuan Shao received a secret letter from the interrogation, and learned that Gongsun Zan had assassinated Liu Kai and taken away the Chuanguo Yuxi. Yuan Shao was so shocked that his eyes turned black.

"Gongsun thief, how dare you do this!"

Angry Yuan Shao drew his sword and knocked over the table in front of him.

Feng Ji on the side stood there dumbfounded.

Yuan Shao was angry with Gongsun Zan for killing the false emperor and seizing the jade seal. Feng Ji began to think about it when Liu Bei set up a banner in Qingzhou Liuying. The more he thought about it, the more frightened Feng Ji felt.

"No, that's impossible."

"It must be a coincidence, it must be a coincidence!"

Nanpi City.

Liu Bei and Zheng Ping came late.

The spies have already transcribed the call to action to the counties and sent it to Liu Bei.

"Brother Bogui assassinated the false emperor?" Liu Bei read the call to action several times in surprise, his tone somewhat complicated.

　It is still possible to give Gongsun Zan a decent death.

　　Ask for a monthly pass!
