The last few days of the first year of Xingping were spent in a very dull atmosphere, and the battle between the princes was temporarily reined in as the weather gradually turned colder, and they were silently accumulating their strength to prepare for the coming year.
According to the news that came back, Gongsun Zhan's defeat has gradually become clear, it seems that Yuan Shao is not ready to drag this war for too long, according to Liu Xie's think tank analysis and Guo Jia's summary, without external help, Gongsun Chan will not be able to survive next year, unless Yuan Shao is willing to take the initiative to let go, but is this possible The answer is obviously no, Yuan Shao in order to break through Gongsun Zhan, this time he made great efforts, sparing no expense, and even after winter, he did not reduce the intensity of the attack because of the weather, the investment is huge, even if Jizhou is rich in money and grain, but this battle, if it is not completely defeated, Yuan Shao will lose all his money.
Liu Xie asked Gan Ning to secretly help Gongsun Chan to raid the Bohai Sea along the coast, but at this time, Yuan Shao obviously couldn't take care of that much, according to Jia Xu's calculations, it is unknown whether Gongsun Chan can survive this idea, even if he survives, within a month, this war that has lasted for a year will also have results, and Yuan Shao completely occupies Youzhou, and it will take a year to consolidate and subdue.
This has been out of the trajectory of history, if you look at it according to history, even if Gongsun Chan finally escapes destruction, he can last another three or four years, but now, because of Liu Xie's intervention, Liu Yu's death is not as weightless as in history, the biggest change is that Gongsun Chan has lost the hearts of the people, whether it is the military heart or the people's heart, Gongsun Zhan's foundation in Youzhou has been completely shaken because of Liu Yu's death.
During the period when Yuan Shao and Gongsun Chan were wrestling, there were constantly county towns defecting one after another, and such a blow was even greater for Gongsun Chan than the blow of defeat on the battlefield.
If Yuan Shao broke through several county seats, it would not be unacceptable for Gongsun Zhan, and he could fight back, but such a direct defection would have an impact on the morale of the army, and it could also cause a chain reaction, even if Gongsun Chan won Yuan Shao ten times on the battlefield, he might not be able to recover this loss.
What's more, Yuan Shao is now strong and strong under his command, don't say it ten times, now it is difficult for Gongsun Chan to win Yuan Shao's battle, the defeat is like a mountain, and many generals under Gongsun Chan see the decline of Gongsun Chan, or leave silently, or even defect directly.
Gongsun Zhan is defeated, I'm afraid it won't be long, this is already the consensus of many people, that is, there has been a split within the Gongsun family.
I'm afraid this force is about to fall.
Youzhou, Yijing.
The icy wind blew the snowflakes and sprinkled them down, falling on Gongsun Zhan's body, beard, armor, and robes, which had been attached to a layer of ice and snow at this moment, but Gongsun Chan stood at the head of the city like a sculpture, looking at Yuan Shao's camp from afar.
The lag of the news, Liu Xie's side got the news half a month ago, this Yijing is already the last fortress of Gongsun Zhan, in half a month, under the advice of a group of strategists under Yuan Shao, the county, Dai County, Shanggu County, these Youzhou counties continue to fall, to this day, even Yuyang, Youbeiping is not complete, and now Gongsun Zhan has only this Yijing City in his hands.
There are still a few other counties, but it is no longer enough, Gongsun Chan plans to make a desperate bet, gather all his troops, and have a final showdown with Yuan Shao in this Yijing City.
It's just that the result is not optimistic.
Don't say that ordinary soldiers, at this point, even Gongsun Chan is not optimistic that he can win this battle.
The snow is getting bigger and bigger, and Yuan Shao surprisingly did not take the initiative to attack this time, but stopped to camp and repair, but Gongsun Chan knew that after this rest, he would face a stormy attack.
For Yuan Shao's army, a good rest can exert greater combat effectiveness, but for the soldiers under Gongsun Zhan, the temporary truce of Yuan Shao's army represents not repair, but endless despair.
There are not many generals under Gongsun Zhan's command, and now there are not a few left, and Yuan Shao's side, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang He, and Gao Ran's four generals, have proven their influence on the battlefield, if you talk about bravery alone, each of them is stronger than Gongsun Zhan, not to mention that there are many other prestigious generals, compared with the lineup on Yuan Shao's side, the lineup of generals on Gongsun Zhan's side can only be described as cold.
In terms of troops, the Jizhou army brought by Yuan Shao and the Youzhou soldiers and horses who defected to Yuan Shao one after another, all of them added up to more than 100,000, while in Yijing City, the defenders were only 10,000, even if they drove the people to the city to help in the war, they added up to less than 30,000.
Maybe you can hold on for some days, but defeat is inevitable, which makes people feel like waiting to die, and in terms of morale, the performance of both sides is naturally intuitive.
Looking at Yuan Shao's camp opposite, Gongsun Chan had been standing like this for more than an hour, the snow was getting heavier and heavier, and thick snowflakes had begun to accumulate on the city wall.
The surrounding soldiers looked at Gongsun Zhan, but no one came up to persuade him, the battle has reached such a point, the morale of the army and the people has been lost, but there are still many people around who are forced to go to the city.
"Squeaky Squeak" Yan Gang stepped on the snow and came to Gongsun Zhan's side, looking at the snowflakes that had accumulated a thick layer on Gongsun Zhan's body, a trace of bitterness flashed in his eyes.
"My lord."
Taking a deep breath, Yan Gang bowed and said: "Then Yuan Shao will not attack again today, the Lord has been fighting for many days, and it is time to take the opportunity to cultivate." ” Seeing that Gongsun Chan didn't respond, Yan Gang couldn't help but look at Gongsun Chan suspiciously, if it weren't for the constant white gas coming out of his mouth and nose, Yan Gang would even wonder if Gongsun Chan had frozen to death.
"It's okay" Gongsun Chan waved his hand, looked at the vast land in front of him, and suddenly smiled: "In my life, I have also covered the prosperity of the Central Plains, but now it seems that it is still the most magnificent snow in this Youzhou, I want to take a few more looks, in the future, maybe there will be no more opportunities." ” When Yan Gang heard this, his face changed, and he hurriedly said: "Don't say such depressing words, the lord will take a turn for the better." ” Even Yan Gang himself doesn't believe this, judging from the current situation, it is only a matter of time before the city is broken.
Looking at Gongsun Chan Xiao Suo's back, Yan Gang felt sad for a while, he was the first group of people to follow Gongsun Zhan, almost watching Gongsun Chan gradually become a prince step by step from a county official, powerful and exotic, if it is not Liu Yu's incident, even if he is defeated in the end, Gongsun Chan is still a hero.
But this thing in the world, where did it come from so much If Liu Yu died, died in the hands of Gongsun Zhan, and was stabbed in the back by Gongsun Zhan when he was cleaning up Wuhuan, even if after that, Gongsun Chan led Bai Ma Yicong to chase and kill Wuhuan all the way, and the corpses of Wuhuan people were all over the field, it could not make up for this mistake.
The Son of Heaven was furious, the people's hearts were greatly defeated, and even Gongsun Chan himself was very guilty in this matter, and at the same time, Gongsun Chan fell into absolute passivity politically.
"Lord, run away" I don't know how long it took, Yan Gang finally said astringently.
This battle, there is no hope, Yuan Shao broke the city, only in the evening, but Gongsun Chan may not necessarily die, you know, after Gongsun Chan broke through the old camp of Wuhuan, in order to prevent Hu'er from invading again, he arranged heavy troops in Gaoliu City, before, even if the situation was dangerous, Gongsun Chan had not transferred back a single soldier from there, if Gongsun Chan went to Gaoliu at this time, even if he did not return to the Central Plains for the rest of his life, it was better than dying.
In the case of monarchs and ministers, although Yan Gang has no great ability, he is loyal enough to Gongsun Zhan.
"Escape" Gongsun Zan heard this, turned his head to look at Yang Ang a little stiffly, grinned, and looked at the vast land again.
"The world calls me the White Horse General, have you ever heard that the White Horse General will escape" When Yan Gang heard this, his eyes were a little sour, but a smile appeared on his face: "General White Horse, naturally he won't escape, but General White Horse also needs to rest, and he also asks the lord to go back to the city to rest." ” Hearing this, Gongsun Zhan looked at Yan Gang, and finally nodded, shook off the snowflakes on his body, and did not bring his relatives with him, but just asked them to stay to protect Yan Gang, but he went straight back to the mansion, he was indeed too tired and should rest.
Didn't pay attention to the wife at home, Gongsun Chan fell asleep after returning home, this sleep, slept darkly, if it wasn't for the evening, the sudden noise and fighting in the city woke him up, maybe Gongsun Chan would sleep directly until tomorrow.
"Report" A soldier rushed in, but before the person arrived, the voice had already come: "Lord, the big thing is not good." ” In the courtyard, Gongsun Zhan's wife and concubine and his subordinates were panicked one by one, looking out of the mansion gate in panic.
"What happened" Gongsun Zhan's expression was as calm as ever, perhaps he had already reported his will to die, but at this time, there was nothing that could shake his state of mind.
"Back to the lord, the city gate guards surrendered to the enemy and secretly opened the city gate, at this moment Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses have already come in, our army can't resist it, and it is defeated and retreated" The young general sighed after finishing his words in one breath.
"If you can't stop it, you don't have to stop it" Gongsun Chan nodded indifferently and looked at the soldier: "Go and run for your life." ” "Ah" The soldier looked at Gongsun Chan a little dazedly and fled for his life "Lord, we are still there" The soldier wanted to say something, but saw that Gongsun Zhan had already drawn his sword in his hand.
"Roll" "Oh, take care, general" The soldier trembled, arched his hand towards Gongsun Zhan, and quickly took off his armor while getting up and walking out.
"Husband, we" Seeing this, several concubines of Gongsun Chan hurriedly surrounded them, and they also wanted to leave.
Gongsun Chan ignored them, and instead looked at his wife, a woman in her forties.
"Madam, this last stretch of the road" showed a hint of astringency on his face.
"The concubine body will take the first step."
The wife nodded slowly, took the maid, and walked indoors.

"Husband, what about us" With a scream, Gongsun Zhan's sword quickly slashed through the throat of a concubine.
"My husband is incompetent and can't keep you rich, but I don't want you to stay in this world and be humiliated, so let me go with my husband."
"Bang" fell with Gongsun Zhan's words, and behind him, there was a fire in a room, which was the room that Mrs.
Gongsun had entered before, the swaying firelight, the old man who pulled Gongsun Zhan's back, and the rough face, but at this moment, tears rolled down unconsciously, but the sword in his hand was raised ruthlessly again t1706231537:
