In the end.
Wu Anguo had never argued with Kong Rong.
Duchang's remaining 2,000 soldiers all abandoned their weapons and armor and walked down the tower.
The city gate had been breached. Even if they returned to the inner city and suppressed it with arrows, they could only stop it for a short while. If they surrendered, they might be able to survive.
An hour of battle.
Duchang City was covered in the flames of war, and it was in such a mess that one could not bear to look at it.
The moment Gongsun Jing stepped into the city, all the soldiers of Duchang bowed their heads, including Wu Anguo.
"Gongsun Changping!"
Kong Rong took a step forward and was about to open his mouth to rebuke.
Gongsun Jing walked up to Wu Anguo first. He looked at his right arm and said in a deep voice,""Wu Anguo, you are a good general, but you will only die if you lead the army with such an attitude. In the future, you can just focus on farming in Qingzhou!”
"Here!"
Wu Anguo sighed.
Kong Rong had surrendered. He had long lost the will to fight on the battlefield.
"Gongsun Changping!"
Kong Rong said arrogantly," Today, I am not surrendering to you, but to Gongsun Zan. I want to see Lu Zigan and ask him if Kong Sheng is still the first sage of the Confucian Sect. When has it ever been his turn to be trampled on by an ordinary person?!"”
"Clang!"
Gongsun Jing drew his sword and swept it horizontally.
The blade of the sword returned to its sheath with a trace of blood.
Kong Rong's entire head was cut off, and fresh blood gushed out from the cut on his neck.
"Noisy!"
"There's no one in this world that I don't dare to kill!”
Gongsun Jing swept his gaze across Wu Anguo and the surrendered Duchang army. He said indifferently,""He didn't listen to the Imperial Court's orders and openly gave Ju County to outsiders to defend against the Prefecture Overseer Manor. This person's death is not worth regretting.”
"Gulp!"
Wu Anguo gulped.
He knew that Kong Rong would be killed if he acted recklessly.
However, he didn't expect Gongsun Jing to be so decisive and merciless.
"Young General!"
The surrendered generals of Duchang all trembled with fear and roared.
Now, Gongsun Jing was the governor of Qingzhou and the Marquis of Ye. He was doing things according to the rules of the imperial court. Naturally, he had a reason!
Gongsun Jing turned around and walked out of the city gate. He said in a deep voice,""Yan Gang, clean up the battlefield. Feng Xiao will send a letter to Gaotang to report the execution of Kong Wen Ju. Ask Gongda to start organizing the Qing Zhou regime. If there are any officials who do not respect the Prefecture Overseer's Office, use Kong Wen Ju as an example to execute them!”
"Here!"
Guo Jia and Yan Gang replied.
Duchang City was captured.
Liu Bei was released by Zhao Yun.
Ju County was captured by Gao Lan's Shenji Battalion.
The entire Beihai Kingdom had fallen into Gongsun Jing's hands, so the Qingzhou counties naturally did not dare to have any disloyalty. They handed over their political power to Xun You and waited for his arrangements.
Kong Wen Ju's death shook the entire world.
Mi Heng, who was studying in Yingchuan, immediately sent out an essay, scolding Gongsun Jing for harming Confucius and denouncing the Confucian sects of the world, saying that there was no longer Confucius 'bloodline to guide them.
Jizhou, Ye City.
In a small house.
Lu Zhi placed the letter on the table and muttered with a cloudy gaze,"Changping, you are making an enemy out of the entire world. Kong Wen Ju may not be a kind person, but he can bring you great benefits if he lives. If he dies, he can only help you quickly recover Qingzhou!”
"Boom!"
Yuan Shao led his men and rushed into the room.
"Old General, Gongsun Changping killed Kong Wen Ju?" Xu You asked anxiously.”
"Kill him!"
Lu Zhi raised his head and looked at Yuan Shao and the others. He pushed the letter in front of everyone and said helplessly,""This is Changping's reply. You should know his personality. No one can stop him from killing the people he wants to kill.”
"Thud!"
"Old General, are you leaving?" Yuan Shao said bitterly.”
"Yes!"
Lu Zhi nodded and said in a deep voice," Back then, I came out of the Upper Valley to stop the war between you and Bo Gui so that he could guard the border of the Great Han Dynasty in peace. I didn't expect you to kill Gongsun Yue. The war has already begun. Naturally, only when one side dies can we stop it!”
Yuan Shao took a deep breath and said respectfully,""I'll send someone to send the old general off!"
"No need!"
Lu Zhi waved his hand and said," This old man is already old. I'm afraid I don't have many days to live. After leaving Ye City, I want to go to Luoyang to take a look. Zi Jia, go prepare the carriage!"”
"Yes, sir!"
Lu Yu said respectfully.
Not long after.
Yuan Shao and Jizhou civil and military officials escorted Lu Zhi out of Ye City.
All the vassals in the world respected Lu Zhi.
It was because he had worked hard for the Great Han Dynasty for decades and was a rare loyal official.
On the mountain path.
Lu Zhi looked at the scenery on both sides and said in a deep voice,"Zi Jia, what do you think of Gongsun Changping?”
"Born in the wilderness, grew up in the wilderness!"
"It's normal to be a little ruthless. Such ruthlessness is precisely needed in chaotic times!”
"Cao Cao will definitely annex Xu and Yu Provinces after unifying Yanzhou. He will then take over Jizhou and plot against the entire Central Plains. That is why Changping wants to quickly unify Qingzhou. He will attack Jizhou in March next year at most. Yuan Benchu will not be able to stop Changping's army, so he will be the overlord of the Central Plains who will occupy two provinces!”Lu Yu said as he drove the carriage.
"Zi Clan!"
Lu Zhi said in a deep voice," After I died, I didn't use a coffin. I only left a thin layer of clothes. I dug a hole and buried it next to Wen Mausoleum. Qingzhou is always in war, and the rule of law has collapsed. You have devoted your life to the study of law. You can go to Qingzhou to help the peace. He will definitely put you in an important position!"”
Lu Yu smiled faintly." I'm not going. I still want to be filial to my father!"”
A moment later.
A quarter of an hour.
Three quarters.
Lu Yu did not respond.
When he lifted the bamboo curtain of the carriage, Lu Zhi had already passed away silently.
