Lu Dynasty

Chapter 216: Shi Gongsun (2)
Gongsun Zan really didn't notice what I said, but he still half believed my words.I said again: "General Gongsun, when the allied forces of the princes were at a disadvantage in attacking Sishui Pass, did Yuan Shao keep saying that if Yan Liang and Wen Chou under my command were here, why should he be afraid of Hua Xiong?" Gongsun Zan nodded.

"Why didn't Yuan Shao's Yan Liang and Wen Chou come here, and even Yuan Shu's top general Ji Ling didn't come. Has General Gongsun thought about the reason?" I asked Gongsun Zan, "And he, Yuan Shao Always praise Yan Liang and Wen Chou who didn't bring you when you are not good at tackling key problems, okay! Let me call them fierce generals, why is that?"

Gongsun Zan shook his head and said honestly, "I don't know, I never thought about it. I thought it was due to Leader Yuan's temperament."

"General Gongsun is a trustworthy man, how could he have expected the thoughts of Yuan Shao who is so scheming, insidious and cunning!" I laughed and said, "Yuan Shao's Yan Liang and Wen Chou were once defeated by my subordinates Dian Wei and Zhao Yun. Ji Ling was even beaten into a pig's head by Dian Wei, do you think the Yuan Brothers will tell you such a scandal?"

"You mean, the Yuan brothers knew that you had a general stronger than Hua Xiong under your command, but they didn't tell us to send our people to die?" Gongsun Zan said fiercely with rounded eyes.

I smiled and said, "General Gongsun, if I really told you that, you would think that I, Lu Feng, was trying to provoke the internal relations of your coalition forces. But think about it, since the coalition forces marched to Sishui Pass, the loss of troops of the princes They are all very big, but he, Yuan Shao, suffered the least loss. Is this accidental? My younger brother Lu Bu and General Gongsun are both generals, so I naturally understand the truth that Wen Wu is the first and Wu Wu is the second. When all the generals he sent were defeated in the battle with him, he praised Yan Liang and Wen Chou under his command, what do you think is the explanation for this?"

Gritting his teeth, Gongsun Zan said, "He, Yuan Shao, is provoking us to fight so that our people will die!" Originally, Gongsun Zan still called Yuan Shao to be the leader of the alliance, but now he obviously believed my words, and shouted Yuan Shao one by one, That gnashing of teeth seemed to tear Yuan Shao apart and eat him.

"You can't say that. Maybe he, Yuan Shao, thinks that he is already the leader of the alliance. When the time comes to calm the world, his credit will be the greatest, so he will give these credits to you!" I laughed: "In this way, General Gongsun's heart Are you feeling better?"

"I don't need your consolation!" Gongsun Zan said, "Yuan Shao, how dare you do this! You, Lu Feng, are not trying to sow discord. Entering Sishui Pass, those who fall into the trap are Yuan Shu's subordinates. Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are brothers, how can Yuan Shao harm him!"

I laughed and said: "General Gongsun is so naive. Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are fighting for power and position. If the Yuan family usurps the country after the world is settled, it will be fighting for the throne. For that position, father and son can kill each other, let alone Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao are not brothers!"

"You!" Gongsun Zan was completely shaken, but he still said stubbornly: "Perhaps Yuan Shao's nature is such that he can't be provoked, so he did such a thing! Just based on your two analysis, you want to make me betray you." It is impossible to deal with Yuan Shao."

"It's good for General Gongsun to think so. After all, the coalition forces need to be united!" I waved my feather fan and said, "Is there not even a resourceful man in the coalition forces? I think Cao's knowledge is also very good. He didn’t persuade him to make such a mistake? Cao and Yuan Shao are good friends for many years, if Cao persuades him, it should be effective!”

Hearing what I said, Gongsun Zan immediately remembered that Cao had tried to persuade Yuan Shao many times, but Yuan Shao had ruthlessly rejected him. He believed more and more that what I said was true.Gongsun Zan smiled wryly and said, "I, Gongsun Zan, wanted to uphold righteousness for the country and seek survival for the people, but I was framed by Xiaoxiao if I didn't want to. If I die like this today, I would be really unwilling. But you, Lu Baxian, have said so much. It's just that you want me to surrender. Come on! My Gongsun Zan was defeated, and the only thing I can do is to die. There will never be a white horse general who bowed his knees. If I can die at the hands of you, Lu Baxian, I will not be wronged. I only hate that Yuan Shao, you are treating me like this! I don't expect you to let me go, I just hope you can let go of these white horse followers under my command, they are just obeying my orders! What's more, they have already lost all their casualties!"

After hearing Gongsun Zan's words, the Baima righteous servants were all very moved, so they shouted in unison: "I am willing to die with the general!"

I looked at Gongsun Zan and Baima Yicong and said, "That's enough! Didn't I say that I want to let General Gongsun go? What kind of sad card are you playing here? If you want to connect with each other, go back to Youzhou to make contact. I can't see a group of big men." With snot and tears!"

Gongsun Zan looked at me stupidly and asked, "You...you really want to let me go?"

"What, you, Gongsun Zan, treat me like Lu Feng without faith or talking like fart?" I said angrily, "If you really want to die, I'll let you go! I really don't know what to do. Letting you go is so much nonsense! They go back, but the horses and weapons must be kept, I still like white horses!"

Xu Rong took the order to make way, and the Baima righteous followers saw that I was really willing to let Gongsun Zan live, so they acquiesced in confiscating my weapons and horses.Gongsun Zan saw that all the soldiers under him had dismounted, and he wanted to dismount too.I smiled and said, "General Gongsun doesn't need to come down. You are also my hero who fights against foreigners. You still have to save some face. Don't turn in your weapons, just go! I will tell you to dismount and confiscate your weapons." , is to give an explanation to Dong Xiang. If you have clearly won you, if you have nothing to capture or capture, you can’t justify it!”

Gongsun Zan cupped his fists at me and said, "Thank you for your mercy, sir. If I meet you on the battlefield in the future and I win by chance, I will repay you for your mercy today!"

"Oh! Gongsun Zan!" I stopped Gongsun Zan and said, "I forgot to remind you, don't confront Yuan Shao after you go back, or you will end up dead. If you want to trouble Yuan Shao, return to Youzhou after the coalition forces disband Besides, now, you still go to join the Allied Forces, but you don’t want to be so stupid, just run out and become a leader after being said a few words by others!”

Gongsun Zan clasped his fists again on the horse and said, "Thank you sir for reminding me, Bogui understands!" After saying that, Gongsun Zan led the remnants of the defeated army, helped the wounded and drove towards Sishui Pass.
