Chapter 1215: Death of Gongsun Zan
Seeing what Shan Jing said, Tian Kai nodded with satisfaction, and then led an army of eight thousand people pretending to be Gongsun Zan and broke out on the main road, while Gongsun Zan broke out on the small road under the protection of Shan Jing.
Soon, Tian Kai fought with the Manchus, and under the cover of Tian Kai, Gongsun Zan also successfully broke out.
Looking at the fire in the distance behind him, Gongsun Zan knew that Tian Kai might have a narrow escape from death during this trip, so he couldn't help but gritted his teeth and said: "Damn Wu Sangui, if I, Gongsun Zan, escape this disaster, I will behead you to pay tribute to Tian Kai's spirit in heaven."
At this moment, a large number of ambushes suddenly appeared between the two mountains, and the Han army suffered heavy casualties under the salvo of thousands of arrows.
“Protect the lord, protect the lord…”
Shan Jing shouted to mobilize the shield bearers and used his body to block Gongsun Zan's arrows.
After more than a dozen rounds of arrow rain, Gongsun Zan lost only ten soldiers except for hundreds of shield-men, and Shan Jing was killed by more than ten arrows.
"Gongsun Zan, you can't escape. If you know 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 actually have the nerve to come to see me."
"Gongsun Zan, I am no longer the Wu Sangui I used to be. Now I have been named King of Pingxi by the Qing Emperor, and you are just the Duke of Liao. I am a prince and you are a duke. Why do I have no face to see you?"
Gongsun Zan stared at Wu Sangui and said with disdain: "The Tatar title, even if it means "shoulder to shoulder", I will regard it as rubbish. Only a naturally rebellious person like you will regard it as a treasure."
Hearing this, Wu Sangui's face suddenly turned cold and he said sullenly: "Gongsun Zan, those who understand the current affairs are heroes. You don't know how to promote them."
“I would rather die than become a traitor.”
After a roar, Gongsun Zan jumped up and down, threw the spear in his hand, and shot directly towards Wu Sangui, who was a hundred meters away.
Gongsun Zan's move also frightened Wu Sangui, and he quickly dodged sideways, but Wu Yingxiong behind him did not dodge, and was directly penetrated by the spear and died.
“Bear.”
Wu Sangui wailed and ran over, hugging Wu Yingxiong's body and crying bitterly, and then roared: "Set an arrow for me."
“No arrows allowed.”
Shang Kexi ran over and advised: "Brother Wu, calm down. His Highness Dorgon said that Gongsun Zan should try to catch as many people as possible alive."
“Your Highness said it’s best, not necessary.” Wu Sangui said coldly.
"Brother Wu, please calm down. Gongsun Zan will die sooner or later. Why do you need to vent your anger on a dying man?"
Shang Kexi said with an embarrassed look on his face. He winked at Geng Jingzhong and asked him to help persuade Wu Sangui.
Wu Sangui suffered the pain of losing his son and had completely lost his mind. He wanted to kill Gongsun Zan at all costs. Monk Geng Jingzhong was so happy that he naturally wanted to protect Gongsun Zan at all costs. Tensions between the three of them could not help but rise.
Seeing the three men biting the dog, Gongsun Zan burst into tears with laughter: "You want to capture me Gongsun Zan alive? Are you a few traitors worthy of it? Only I can decide the fate of my Gongsun Zan."
After saying this, Gongsun Zan directly swung his sword and killed himself. General Baima, who was traveling across the northern border, ended his life with his own hands in the most tragic way. “Lord…”
After Gongsun Zan's death, the remaining hundreds of sword and shield soldiers roared with grief and anger, and then launched a suicidal charge towards the enemy. None of the hundreds of soldiers surrendered and all died in the battle.
Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu are the two great protectors of Youzhou, and they have protected the people of Youzhou countless times under the iron heel of foreigners.
Liu Yu accidentally died under Hou Yi's arrow while the princes were fighting against Dong. This made people all over the world scold Hou Yi to this day.
Gongsun Zan's prestige is not as high as that of Liu Yu, but he is also deeply loved by the people of Youzhou.
When they learned that Gongsun Zan committed suicide under Wu Sangui's force, the people of Youzhou wailed, and almost everyone called Wu Sangui a traitor.
Countless people wrote Wu Sangui's name on a straw man and pricked it with needles, and cursed Wu Sangui crazily, but this was of no use to Wu Sangui.
Yuyang County, Yuyang County.
After receiving the news that Gongsun Zan committed suicide, Gongsun Xuanyuan was devastated. With the comfort of his wife Chen Yuanyuan and his sister Gongsun Li, he quickly cheered up and determined to avenge Gongsun Zan.
Gongsun Zan's son Gongsun Xu was still very popular in the army. However, Gongsun Zan's edict made it clear, and coupled with the threat of the Manchus, Gongsun Xu wisely gave up the competition, which also allowed Gongsun Xuanyuan to go smoothly. He sat on the throne of Liao Gong.
As Wu Sangui opened Lulong fortress and allowed the Manchus to enter the Pass, the Manchus and the Qing Dynasties had completely occupied five and a half counties in the east of Youzhou, namely: Liaodong County 11 counties, Xuantu County 5 counties, Lelang County 18 counties, Liaoxi County There are 2 counties in the army and 5 counties in Liaodong, a total of 41 counties.
Today, the Liao army only has two and a half counties left, namely: 9 counties in Yuyang County, 3 counties in Liaoxi County, and 4 counties in Youbeiping County, for a total of 18 counties.
The Liao army that Gongsun Xuanyuan took over had its territory reduced by two-thirds and its strength by one-half compared to the period of Gongsun Zan.
However, due to the surrender of the three generals Wu Sangui, the Manchu and Qing dynasties took in a large number of defeated and captured Liao army soldiers. In addition, a large number of Youzhou soldiers took refuge, so they created another "Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty". As a result, the total military strength of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties did not decrease. The number increased and reached 270,000.
The nearly 300,000 Manchu Qing army was naturally not something that the Liao army could deal with. Therefore, after becoming the Duke of Liao, the first thing Gongsun Xuanyuan did was to immediately form an alliance with Liu Che to resist the Manchu invasion.
Liu Che did not take advantage of this situation. He was well aware of the huge threat from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. If there was internal fighting at this time, the entire Youzhou might completely fall, so he decisively chose to join forces with Gongsun Xuanyuan to fight against the Manchus.
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, and then ordered most of the Liao army to gather in Youbeiping.
With the fall of Lulongsai, the Liaoxi Army was no longer in danger, so Gongsun Xuanyuan decided to strategically abandon the remaining three counties in Liaoxi and concentrate his forces to defend Youbeiping, which was relatively easy to defend.
Gongsun Xuanyuan finally raised an army of 80,000 people after selling iron, but Liu Che did not save his strength and directly sent 120,000 troops this time. The Liao and Yan armies combined 200,000 troops to fight against the Manchu and Qing troops of 270,000 troops.
You are in Beiping, Tuyin City.
Looking at the endless Manchu army outside the city, Gongsun Xuanyuan's face was full of solemnity, and then he touched the hilt of the sword at his waist and sighed softly: "Old man, it's time for you to unsheath it."
Ever since Gongsun Xuanyuan obtained the Xuanyuan Sword, he spent every day in fear, fearing that if the news of the Xuanyuan Sword hitting his hand was exposed, greedy people would take the Xuanyuan Sword away from him.
Now Gongsun Xuanyuan finally no longer needs to worry, because in addition to his own martial arts, he has become one of the most powerful princes. Few people in the world can take it from him by force. He can use Xuanyuan with confidence. The sword is gone.
