Fanyang City Tower.
Gongsun Zan seemed to have sensed something and forced a smile.""It's nothing serious!"
"My lord…!"
Guan Jing clenched his fists tightly. His nails pierced through his palm and blood flowed out.
Perhaps Gongsun Zan was a commander who was ruthless and ruthless.
However, his contributions to the entire Northern Borderline, Youzhou, and the Great Han could not be erased.
Defending the border and resisting the Outsiders, this was something that many dukes and princes of the Great Han had never done!
Liu Yu believed that Gongsun Zan was militaristic and forced the people to pay taxes.
However, as a descendant of a lord who was in charge of internal affairs, how could he understand the sufferings of the border and Gongsun Zan's helplessness? Once the Donghu barbarians entered the pass, the entire Youzhou would become ruins under the iron hooves of the foreign tribes.
Now, Bing Province, which was filled with various races, was a lesson!
"Bogui!"
A loud shout came from outside the city.
Liu Yu led the armored soldiers out of the defensive line and shouted," Send a letter to Jizhou immediately and ask Gongsun Changping to lead the army to Chang 'an. You will still be the commander of the northern border of the Great Han Dynasty and the most respected White Horse General in Youzhou!”
"Bullshit!"
"Shameless old man!"
Gongsun Zan's eyes reddened as he said in a furious manner,"" Jing 'er is in charge of the two provinces and the Lord Ye's Mansion. Niu Fu, Guo Si, and Li Jue are in charge of the 300,000 Western Liang Army. Even if he defeats the Western Liang Army, he will be killed by the crafty officials in the court. Even if he dies in Fanyang today, I will not let you use me as a hostage to force him to send troops to Chang' an!”
"Gongsun has made great contributions to the Great Han Dynasty. How could the emperor kill Changping?!" Liu Yu said anxiously.”
"Get lost!"
Gongsun Zan coldly said," If you could save him, why didn't you lead your army to Chang 'an? It's because you're afraid that the Gongsun Clan will take control of Youzhou. Gongsun Du and the Goguryeo army have already conquered Liaoxi and are eyeing Youbei. If Fourth Brother fails to defend Youbei, you'll be the sinner of Youzhou and be condemned by the historian for a hundred years!”
"Then let's wait!"
"Old fogey!"
"Shameless old thief!"
Gongsun Zan was so angry that his entire body trembled. He said,""He actually imitated Jing 'er's methods against Yuan Benchu. Does he think he can succeed? Jing 'er was going to become the overlord of the Central Plains. How could he be bewitched by his tricks?”
Guan Jing said bitterly," My lord, Fan Yang is not a city prepared for war. During the siege, we don't have much food left!"”
"How many more days?"
Gongsun Zan said coldly.
Guan Jing said nervously," At most two days. If reinforcements don't arrive in two days, we must break out of the encirclement!"”
"We'll discuss it again when we're exhausted!"
Gongsun Zan staggered into the distance.
His back view was filled with desolation and sadness.
Below the city.
Liu Yu watched Gongsun Zan leave and said angrily,""Stubborn donkey, if he was willing to lower his head, how could the northern border be empty? How could he end up like this? How could the emperor be besieged in Chang 'an?”
"My lord!"
"Gongsun Xu has gone to Ye City. Will Gongsun Changping come over?" Yan Rou asked worriedly.”
"What are you afraid of?"
Liu Yu's gaze was firm as he said," Gongsun Changping has to guard against Cao Cao and Tao Qian, so he will not use too much of his main force. We have 100,000 soldiers, so we are not afraid of his six battalions. Besides, I don't want to kill them. I just want him to save the emperor. Isn't this what a Han minister should do?"”
One day.
Two days.
On the third day.
When the cavalry entered the new city.
The grain reserves in Fanyang City were also exhausted.
Guan Jing placed a bowl of gruel and two corn pancakes on the commander's table and said in a deep voice,""My lord, the rations in the city have been exhausted!”
"Yes!"
Gongsun Zan took a bite of the cornbread.
He was born into a noble family, but because of his mother's lowly status, he was only a minor official.
It was only when he took Liu Kuan and Lu Zhi as his teachers that he was appreciated by the Zhuo County Mayor.
He wasn't afraid of being labeled as a warmonger.
Because he had seen Youzhou, which had been trampled upon by the Hu, and it was even more terrifying than him bearing a bad name and having nine out of ten houses on the border!
He was born in Youzhou.
He grew up in Youzhou Province.
He had experienced the era when the Xianbei King Tan Shihuai dominated the grasslands.
He knew the wild nature of the Donghu tribe better than Liu Yu, a relative of the Han clan. He had never forgotten the scene of the Donghu tribe after all these years of training in blood and war, until he became a general of the Central Army and became the White Horse General who fought against the tribes beyond the Great Wall and shook the border!
A glance for decades.
In his memories, he had led his troops into the Xianbei army with a spear in his hand, and he had finally reached this step!
"My lord!"
Guan Jing's voice trembled.
Gongsun Zan swallowed the dry cornbread and said hoarsely,""Guan Jing, you are my Chief Historian, the first person to follow me, but I have forgotten how many years you have been under my command and how many battles you have experienced!”
Guan Jing lowered his head and said,"When my lord was the chief historian of the Liaodong vassal state, I was just a small official!"”
"Gulp!"
Gongsun Zan drank the porridge in one gulp and said in a deep voice,"" It's been almost twenty years. Others have laughed at you for being a flatterer and for not having a strategic vision. I still kept you by my side and appointed you as my chief historian because you blocked arrows for me and were once a decisive general!”
"It's all in the past!"
Guan Jing said shyly.
Gongsun Zan looked at the sword on the commander's table and smiled faintly.""Changping is the Lord. He is stronger than Xu 'er and us. He is destined to have a place in this chaotic world. In a while, you will lead the people to defend the city and wait for reinforcements. I will lead the army out of the city.”
Guan Jing's eyes were filled with viciousness as he said resolutely,""When my lord is in danger, we must go through thick and thin together. How can I survive alone?”
"You!"
Gongsun Zan laughed and said," When Jing was born, I was busy going back to see him. However, when the Xianbei invaded, you blocked an arrow for me. I thought you were dead, so I gave you the name Gongsun Jing. The world is peaceful and the borders are peaceful. This is our wish, and it will definitely be fulfilled in his hands!”
Guan Jing took the sword from the wooden shelf and said in a deep voice,""My sword can still kill enemies!”
"Haha!"
"Where righteousness goes, life and death follow!"
Gongsun Zan and Guan Jing looked at each other, and their laughter echoed in the manor.
