Chapter 1217 The Death of Gongsun Zan


    Chapter 1215: The Death of Gongsun Zan


    Seeing Shan Jing say this, Tian Kai nodded with satisfaction, and then led the 8,000 troops to pretend to be Gongsun Zan on the road to break through, while Gongsun Zan took the path to break through under the protection of Shan Jing.


    Soon, Tian Kai fought with the Qing Dynasty, and under Tian Kai''s cover, Gongsun Zan also broke through successfully.


    Looking at the firelight in the distance behind him, Gongsun Zan knew that Tian Kai would probably have been dead for death during this trip, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Damn Wu Sangui, if I, Gongsun Zan, escaped this disaster, I, must behead you to pay tribute to Tian Kai''s spirit in the sky."


    At this moment, a large number of ambush suddenly appeared between the two mountains, and the Han army suffered heavy casualties as thousands of arrows were fired at once.


    "Protect the lord, protect the lord..."


    Shan Jing shouted and mobilized the shield player, while using his body to block arrows for Gongsun Zan.


    After more than a dozen rounds of arrows, apart from losing hundreds of shield players, there were no ten soldiers under Gongsun Zan''s command, and Dan Jing also died after more than ten arrows.


    "Gongsun Zan, you can''t escape. If you know the truth, you''d better surrender. The Qing Dynasty will not treat you badly."


    After hearing this familiar voice, Gongsun Zan immediately raised his head and roared, "Wu Sangui, you thief, you have the face to come to see me."


    "Gongsun Zan, I am no longer the former Wu Sangui. Now I have been named King Pingxi by the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and you are just Duke Liao. I am the title of king and you are the Duke. Why don''t I see you?"


    Gongsun Zan stared at Wu Sangui with disdain, saying, "Even if the title of Tartars is a king, I will regard it as a nonsense. Only those who are born rebellious will treat it as a treasure."


    Wu Sangui''s face suddenly turned cold when he heard this, and he said with a gloomy face: "Gongsun Zan, those who know the current affairs are heroes, don''t be ungrateful."


    "I would rather die than be a traitor."


    After a roar, Gongsun Zan jumped horizontally, threw the spear in his hand out, and shot directly towards Wu Sangui, who was a hundred meters away.


    Gongsun Zan''s actions also scared Wu Sangui and hurriedly dodged sideways, but Wu Yingxiong behind him did not dodge and was directly pierced by a spear to death.


    “Bear.”


    Wu Sangui ran over wailingly, hugging Wu Yingxiong''s body and cried bitterly, then roared, "Shoot me an arrow."


    “No arrows are allowed.”


    Shang Kexi ran over and advised, "Brother Wu, be calm. His Highness Dorgon said that Gongsun Zan should try his best to catch the alive."


    "Your Highness is talking about how much it is, not that it is necessary." Wu Sangui said coldly.


    "Brother Wu, be calm, Gongsun Zan will die sooner or later, why bother to be angry with a dying person?"


    Shang Kexi said with a embarrassed look, and even winked Geng Jingzhong and asked him to help persuade Wu Sangui.


    Wu Sangui suffered from the pain of losing his son and had completely lost his mind. He said he would kill Gongsun Zan, but monk Geng Jingzhong was happy, so he naturally said that he would protect Gongsun Zan from everything. The three of them couldn''t help but get nervous.


    Seeing the three people biting the dog, Gongsun Zan burst into tears: "If you want to capture me Gongsun Zan alive? You traitors are worthy of me? Only I can decide my Gongsun Zan''s life."


    After saying that, Gongsun Zan directly swung his sword and committed suicide. The white horse general who was circulating in the northern border ended his life with his own hands in the most tragic way. “Master…”


    After Gongsun Zan''s death, hundreds of remaining swords and shield soldiers roared with grief and anger, and then launched a suicide charge at the enemy, and none of them surrendered and all died in battle.


    Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu are the two major protective umbrellas of Youzhou. They have protected the people of Youzhou under the iron hooves of foreign races countless times.


    Liu Yu died unexpectedly under Houyi''s arrow while the princes were fighting against Dong, which made everyone in the world scold Houyi until now.


    Gongsun Zan''s prestige is not as high as Liu Yu, but he is also deeply loved by the people of Youzhou.


    Learning that Gongsun Zan committed suicide under Wu Sangui''s forced to do so, the people of Youzhou were wailing, and almost everyone was calling Wu Sangui a traitor.


    Countless people wrote Wu Sangui''s name on the straw man and stabbed Wu Sangui madly, but this was useless to Wu Sangui.


    Yuyang County, Yuyang County.


    After receiving the news that Gongsun Zan committed suicide, Gongsun Xuanyuan was heartbroken. Under the comfort of his wife Chen Yuanyuan and his sister Gongsun Li, he quickly stayed and became excited and determined to avenge Gongsun Zan.


    Gongsun Zan''s son Gongsun Xu is still very popular in the army, but Gongsun Zan''s will is clearly stated. In addition, the threat from the Qing Dynasty was re-tested, Gongsun Xu gave up the competition very consciously, which also allowed Gongsun Xuanyuan to successfully take the position of Liao Gong.


    As Wu Sangui opened the Lulong Pass and put the Qing Dynasty into the pass, the Qing Dynasty had completely occupied half of the five counties in the eastern part of Youzhou, namely: 11 counties in Liaodong County, 5 counties in Xuantu County, 18 counties in Lelang County, 2 counties in the western Liao army, and 5 counties in the vassal states in Liaodong, totaling 41 counties.


    Today, the Liao army has only two and a half counties left, namely: 9 counties in Yuyang County, 3 counties in Liaoxi County, and 4 counties in Youbeiping County, with a total of 18 counties.


    The Liao army, which Gongsun Xuanyuan took over, shrank by two-thirds of its territory and reduced its military strength by one-half compared with the Gongsun Zan period.


    However, because of the surrender of the three generals Wu Sangui, the Qing Dynasty collected a large number of defeated and captured Liao soldiers, and the surrender of a large number of Youzhou soldiers, so it created another "Han Eight Banners". As a result, the total strength of the Qing Dynasty increased instead of reducing and reached 270,000.


    The nearly 300,000 Qing army was naturally not something that the Liao army could deal with. Therefore, after becoming Liao Gong, the first thing Gongsun Xuanyuan did was to immediately form an alliance with Liu Che to resist the Qing Dynasty''s invasion.


    Liu Che did not take advantage of the situation to rob. He knew the huge threat from the Ming and Qing dynasties. If there was still internal struggle at this time, the entire Youzhou might completely fall, so he decisively chose to join forces with Gongsun Xuanyuan to fight against the Qing Dynasty.


    Gongsun Xuanyuan couldn''t help but feel relieved when he saw that Liu Che agreed to the alliance and did not put forward excessive conditions. He then ordered that most of the Liao army be gathered in Youbeiping.


    Lu Longpass fell, and the Liaoxi Army had no danger to defend, so Gongsun Xuanyuan decided to strategically abandon the remaining three counties in western Liaoning and concentrate their troops to defend Youbeiping, which is relatively easy to defend.


    Gongsun Xuanyuan finally gathered an army of 80,000, but Liu Che did not preserve his strength this time and directly sent 120,000 troops. The Liao and Yan armies combined 200,000 troops to fight against the Qing Dynasty''s 270,000 troops.


    Youbeiping, Tuyincheng.


    Looking at the boundless Qing army outside the city, Gongsun Xuanyuan''s face was full of solemnity. Then he touched the hilt of the sword at his waist and sighed, "Old guy, it''s time for you to unsheath."


    Since Gongsun Xuanyuan got the Xuanyuan Sword, he has been living in fear every day, fearing that the news of Xuanyuan Sword smashing him would be exposed, which would attract greedy people to take away Xuanyuan Sword from him.


    Now Gongsun Xuanyuan doesn''t have to worry anymore, because besides his own martial arts, he has become one of the most powerful princes. Few people in the world can forcibly take it away from him, and he can use the Xuanyuan Sword with confidence.
