Small Landlords of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 33 049. Gongsun Zan Self-immolation

Wang Hao had just allocated military power, and Yuan Shao sent someone to borrow food.

Moreover, Wang Hao heard that since Lu Bu's death, Liu Bei planned to defect to Yuan Shao again.

It's no good if he doesn't defect. Cao Mengde is sharpening his sword and preparing to kill him.

Not to mention that Lu Bu, an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf, is doomed to perish, even Gongsun Zan is the same,
Only grasshoppers like Liu Bei who know how to adapt to the wind can survive.

Liu Bei made three alliances in Taoyuan, Zhujun, and first joined Liu Yu, the shepherd of Youzhou, to crusade against the Yellow Turban Army.

Later, because of Zhang Fei's anger, he ran all over the place, and finally came to Tao Qian in Xuzhou.
The troops stationed in Xiaopei had a place to stay, and then they defected to Cao Cao, Lu Bu, Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shao, and so on.

Even though he was able to survive to the end and establish the Shuhan, he really deserves the aura of a pig's foot.

For the land in Liaodong, Wang Hao sent Yuan Shao another batch of grain and grass,
However, the horses were not given to Yuan Shao. It was related to the future, Wang Hao could not give Yuan Shao unlimited horses.

At present, Wang Hao's men are all using Daliang Wan horses, and the horses of the heavy cavalry are all high-quality yellow pussy horses.

As for the retired Dawan horses, they were sold to various princes at a high price, or used to train newcomers.

The yellow pussy horses are strong and durable, so of course they are kept for their own use. As for the generals' war horses, Wang Hao specially bred a batch of bay red horses.

Wang Hao of this batch of bay red horses collected a stallion, and only after the cubs were born, he extracted them and cultivated them himself.
Now there are only more than 100 horses. Although they cannot be compared with famous horses such as Chitu horse and Zhaoyeyu lion, ordinary war horses are far inferior to bay red horses.

Gongsun Zan deserved to be taught by Yuan Shao, he and Wang Hao have very similar styles, but their approach and personality are very different.
Wang Hao settled down in Jingzhou to build a ranch, and Liu Biao later appointed him as the prefect of Changsha. Yuan Shu said that Wang Hao showed his sharpness,

If Liu Biao hadn't attacked the ranch, Wang Hao would not have been so eager to annex Jingzhou.

Gongsun Zan and Wang Hao were promoted to Xiaolian in the same year, and at that time, Gongsun Zan was still a powerful and angry general outside the Great Wall.

The general who made Wuheng, Wuyang, Karasuma and other foreigners flee,
During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Southern Xiongnu invaded repeatedly, and Wuheng's unharmed foreigners invaded Yi, You, Bing, Qing, Sili and other places.
Gongsun Zan was not powerless to resist, but wanted to keep the soldiers and horses in his hands,

Not only did he not attack foreigners, but Liu Yu, the shepherd of Youzhou, pressed him every step of the way, and he was very good at fighting in the nest.

Later, the situation in the Central Plains gradually stabilized, and the Qingzhou Yellow Turban was conquered by Cao Mengde.
Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Army was also forced into the mountains by Cao Mengde, so foreigners dared not invade the Central Plains casually.

At this time, Gongsun Zan began to be arrogant and arrogant. He was not satisfied with Emperor Xian making him the right general.
It is also said that Youzhou Shepherd Liu Yugou and Yuan Shao formed a foreign clan, killed Liu Yu and sent his head to Kyoto.

This is also one of the reasons why Yuan Shao wants to attack Gongsun Zan. You want to be the shepherd of Youzhou, just say,
After killing Liu Yu, Yuan Shao was blamed. After Liu Yu was killed by Gongsun Zan,
Many nomadic peoples in Youzhou refused to accept the rule of Gongsun Zan.
Gongsun Zan found good excuses, and after settling in Youzhou, he could attack Yuan Shao in Yizhou, but Youzhou was in chaos.

Tribes from all walks of life in Youzhou rose up one after another, and a war against Gongsun broke out. Gongsun Zan finally put down the chaos,
However, his vitality was seriously injured, and he was completely unable to attack Yuan Shao again.

He didn't fight Yuan Shao but was attacked by Yuan Shao instead, and he was defeated repeatedly.

Shangdang, Daijun, and Beiping were all annexed by Yuan Shao, and Gongsun Zan stuck to his prefectural pastoral mansion, hiding in Yuyang and refusing to come out to fight.

The war in the north is not only this point, after Liu Bei took refuge in Yuan Shao, he began to wield his knife at Cao Cao again,

Just like the original alliance with Lu Bu, the capricious villain is always incomprehensible.

Wang Hao didn't pay attention to Liu Bei's thoughts, he just wanted to wait for his wife to give birth,

Then let people find Zhao Yun, and he doesn't want to care about other things for the time being.

But there are some things you don't want him to come, Cao Cao is annoyed when Liu Bei pushes him,
But Guan Yu, the beautiful bearded man, is very powerful. In Liu Bei's hands, he didn't show his skills, but in Yuan Shao's hands, he was able to pass five passes and kill six generals.

Even though he was in Cao Cao's camp and his heart was with Han, he still made great contributions to Cao Cao's Guandu battle.

And under Liu Bei's command, he only did one thing, and that was to carelessly lose Jingzhou.

Cao Cao was burned out by Liu Bei and Yuan Shao, so naturally he wouldn't give Emperor Xian Liu Xie a good face,

Now Liu Xie is not willing, so why give you a big Han prime minister?

You are not happy to be half an emperor for you, but I am not unhappy as a full-fledged emperor.

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was not only unhappy, but also asked Dong Guojiu to take blood clothes out of Xuchang,
He also wanted to learn from his elder brother when he held a meeting of the princes to discuss Dong, but unfortunately he didn't have that fate.

Emperor Xian hid the secret edict of the blood book in his belt, and gave it to the chariot general and uncle Dong Cheng to assassinate Cao Cao.
Uncle Dong Cheng invited Wang Zifu, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Wu Shuo, Captain of Changshui, Wu Zilan, General Zhaoxin, Ma Teng, Prefect of Xiliang, Ji Ping, Imperial Physician,

Wang Hao, Mu of Yangzhou, Liu Biao, Mu of Jingzhou, and Liu Bei, the emperor's uncle, conspired together to get rid of Cao Cao.

Liu Biao was afraid that Wang Hao would not dare to come, but Wang Hao had to come.

This time, Liu Biao's conspiracy to not come also caused Uncle Dong to hold a grudge. Later, after the incident was revealed,

Cao Cao went on a killing spree, intending to kill Dong Cheng and others all over the house.

Before his death, Uncle Dong Guo told Emperor Xian that Liu Biao broke his promise and told Cao Mengde about the secret edict, so that the matter was revealed.

Ma Teng left Beijing, Liu Bei left, and Wang Hao also returned to Changsha.

So far, Cao Cao was still angry, and entered the palace with a sword, and killed Concubine Dong, who was five months pregnant, in front of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.
Emperor Xian Liu Xie hated Liu Biao to the bone this time. Taking advantage of Cao Cao's inattention, he recruited the small envoy who paid tribute to the fruit and sent a secret edict to Wang Hao.

The northern princes were not present at the blood call, because Gongsun Zan had already been beaten to exhaustion by Yuan Shao.
Even if the soldiers under his command were besieged by Yuan Shao's army, they did not dare to send troops to rescue them.

He also said that everyone depends on others to save them, so what is there to fight? Who would fight to the death?

It's okay for him to be cowardly not to save people, but it's really chilling not to let his generals save people.

Afraid of death, I hid in the house and built trenches, high walls, and iron walls. The whole family hid inside and did not dare to come out.

The great general who used to be so powerful outside the Great Wall is now like a gopher who dares not see the light, how can the soldiers under his command not feel chilled.

He didn't go to save others but asked others to save him. He asked someone to escort his son Gongsun Xu to Mount Tai to ask Zhang Yan for help.
Gongsun Zan, who was in a hurry and rushed to the doctor, thought of asking the Black Mountain Army for help, which was considered a strange thing, but Zhang Yan, the Black Mountain Army, agreed.

Who asked Gongsun Zan to say that after repelling Yuan Shao, he would divide Youzhou equally with him?
From Zhang Yan's point of view, after repelling Yuan Shao, the whole Youzhou belonged to the Black Mountain Army,
Gongsun Zan was already seriously ill and there was no cure, so Zhang Yan and Gongsun Xu led [-] troops to rescue Gongsun Zan in three groups.

Before the reinforcements arrived, Gongsun Zan secretly sent a letter to Gongsun Xu,

Let him lead [-] cavalry in Beixi, raise torches in response, and Gongsun Zan will go out to fight from inside the city.

After Yuan Shao robbed the letter, he used his plan and held up the torch. Gongsun Zan thought that the rescue had arrived and led his troops to attack.

Yuan Shao set up an ambush to attack Gongsun Zan. Gongsun Zan was defeated and retreated to the city to stand firm. His son was beheaded by Cao Jun, and Zhang Yanye retreated to Taishan County.

Yuan Shao then dug tunnels to the bottom of the city tower, destroyed its watchtower, and gradually reached the central mound.

Gongsun Zan knew he would be defeated. He first killed his wife and children, and then set himself on fire. Since then, Gongsun Zan, a generation of heroes, has fallen...
