In the spring of 199 AD, the final battle between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan broke out.
The war to unify Hebei began in 192, and it was not until 197 that they finally reached Gongsun Zan's home, Yijing!
However, Gongsun Zan was not swayed by both carrot and stick. No matter if Yuan Shao attacked forcefully, persuaded him to surrender, or negotiated peace, Gongsun Zan relied on his impregnable defense and ignored him.
Yuan Shao was helpless. The two sides had been in a stalemate for more than two years, and finally there was progress recently.
"This Gongsun Zan is really stubborn!”
"It wasn't easy to lure him out some time ago. This cunning fellow actually retreated back to Yi Jing!”
Yuan Shao had a gloomy expression.
He had been fighting with Gongsun Zan for so long. Seeing that he was finally about to complete the feat of unifying Hebei, Gongsun Zan would not surrender even if he swore to his death. He would not come out to fight with him. He could not attack!
How annoying!
Advisor Tian Feng said," My lord, you don't have to worry. Gongsun Zan is now a cornered beast. We only need to surround him for a few months. No matter how stubborn Gongsun Zan is, he will fall without attacking!”
"How could I not know about this?" Yuan Shao waved his hand.”
"It's just that this is too slow!”
"Moreover, our military expenditure will only be greater!”
"Most importantly, since Lu Fengnian went to Youzhou last year, he's been watching from afar and eyeing Youzhou like a tiger eyeing its prey!”
"How can I wait any longer? We have to end this quickly!"
Xu You stroked his beard and sighed.”
"That Lu Fengnian seems to be staying put, but in reality, he trains his troops every day and never slackens. He is clearly preparing his troops and waiting for an opportunity to make a move!”
"My lord, if you want to defeat Gongsun Zan as soon as possible, you can only come up with a strange plan!”
When Yuan Shao heard Xu You's words, he immediately became spirited.
"Oh? What good plans do you have? Tell me quickly!”
Xu You bowed." My lord, Gongsun Zan is determined to fight us to the end. With the lesson from last time, he probably won't be able to leave the Yi Capital to fight us."”
"Then we can only think of a way to enter Yi Jing City!”
Yuan Shao said anxiously," How could I not know that we have to attack the city? It's just that Yi Jing City is impregnable. It'll be good if we can really attack it!"”
Xu You shook his head and said,"My lord, don't be anxious. Let Xu You finish."”
"We can't attack directly, but we can still attack from other directions!”
"Why don't we dig a tunnel directly into Yi Jing City? Then, we can send our most elite troops to set fire to the city and cause chaos. Once Yi Jing is in chaos, the city's defenses will be weak!”
"At that time, our army will attack the city with all our strength.”
After Xu You finished speaking, everyone present clapped their hands and exclaimed!
"Good plan!" Yuan Shao was overjoyed. Good plan!"
"Ziyuan, oh Ziyuan, you've solved another big problem for me!”
"If this plan succeeds, I will definitely reward you heavily!"
Without further ado, Yuan Shao immediately ordered his men to dig the tunnel day and night!
……
At this moment, Lu Fengnian no longer remained motionless. Instead, he launched an all-out attack and headed straight for Yi Jing!
As Lu Fengnian who had transmigrated from the 21st century, he knew exactly what Yuan Shao was going to do next!
In the spring of the year 199, Yuan Shao dug a tunnel into the Yi Capital. Gongsun Zan was completely defeated and died of grief and indignation!
The White Horse General Gongsun Zan was one of the Three Kingdoms figures that Lu Fengnian liked.
General White Horse had been leading the White Horse Righteous Army to resist the Qiang Tribe in the north for many years. The barbarians did not dare to take a step south, so that the Central Plains would not be harmed by the hooves of the Hu horses!
Such a hero with outstanding achievements should not have ended up in such a miserable state!
Naturally, Lu Fengnian wanted Youzhou to be his base, but he had never thought of killing Gongsun Zan!
"You must be fast!"
Lu Fengnian knew that he was not a soft-hearted person. As the saying goes, kindness does not lead to war!
However, Lu Fengnian could not bear to watch the righteous man who had resisted the Qiang Hu die such a tragic death!
By the time Lu Fengnian led the Snowy Dragon Cavalry to the Yi Capital, Yuan Shao had already dug a tunnel. Hundreds of elite soldiers quickly infiltrated the Yi Capital and set fire to the city.
"Damn it! I'm still a step too late!"
Lu Fengnian did not delay any longer and quickly rode his horse toward the tunnel entrance.
Yuan Shao's army was currently attacking the city gates of Yijing City, while the tunnel entrance was led by Gao Lan, one of the Four Pillars of Hebei Province.
Other than the hundreds of elites who had infiltrated Yi Capital, there were actually five thousand elite soldiers left behind to support them!
When Gao Lan saw Lu Fengnian charging over with the Snowy Dragon Cavalry, he was also shocked!
"Why is there still a white horse?"
"No! This must be Lu Fengnian's white-robed army!”
"All troops, be on alert and prepare to fight!"
As a general, Gao Lan's reaction was not slow. However, he was facing Lu Fengnian at this moment!
The Snow-treading Dark Stallion Horse was even better than the so-called Red Rabbit among Horses. Gao Lan had just given the order when Lu Fengnian, who was wearing the Seven Seas Dragon Armor, had already raised the Heavenly Dragon City-Breaking Halberd and slashed down!
That invincible aura was like a god descending from the heavens!
Gao Lan was scared out of his wits. He quickly pulled out his spear to block, but it was all in vain. The Heavenly Dragon City-Breaking Halberd in Lu Fengnian's hand, which was forged from the cold iron from the sky, directly cut the seven-foot steel spear in Gao Lan's hand and then split the man and horse into two!
In just one exchange, Gao Lan, one of the Four Court Pillars of Hebei Province, was already dead!
"Charge! Leave no one alive!"
Lu Fengnian was like a ferocious god from beyond the heavens as he shouted loudly!
The 800 Snow Dragon Cavalry had been dormant for a few months, and they could finally charge into the battlefield once again. They charged at the 5,000 Yuan Shao's elite soldiers with killing intent!
"Kill them!"
