Chapter 519

Several heavy crossbowmen had already aimed their crossbows at him.

"Fire!!"

Ju Shou, holding an iron-ribbed folding fan, gave an order, and several crossbow bolts shot toward Gongsun Zan!

"Puchi! Puchi!"

In his anxiety, Gongsun Zan hurriedly dodged.

But two crossbow bolts still hit his shoulder, and it was his right arm, which he used for his weapon.

"General!"

Wang Men and Tian Yu hurriedly rushed up to check the situation.

However, the countless Yuan soldiers around were also like hungry wolves meeting prey, quickly rushing toward this side!

Gongsun Zan struggled to prop up his body.

Two arrows in his right arm, the intense pain almost made him lose his mobility.

Besides that, the surrounding Yuan soldiers had long received Ju Shou's unified order, aiming their eyes at Gongsun Zan.

It could be said that Gongsun Zan now was completely a moving live target.

No matter where he fled, the Yuan soldiers would surround him at the fastest speed, as if they had eaten chicken essence (Kun essence).

Looking around, a miserable smile appeared in Gongsun Zan's eyes.

Yuan Benchu, Ju Gongyu, these two were truly ruthless.

But... the winner is the king, the loser is the bandit.

If Gongsun Zan were in Yuan Shao's position, I'm afraid his ruthlessness would be no less than Yuan Shao's.

"Wang Men, Tian Yu, you two come over."

Gongsun Zan used his last strength and beckoned to the two.

Wang Men and Tian Yu hurriedly guarded Gongsun Zan's side.

"Later, you two find an opportunity to leave the battlefield quickly."

"That scoundrel Yan Liang's goal is me, you two can take advantage of me attracting the enemy's attention to leave this place with the seal."

"After handing the seal to Xu'er, let him immediately go south and detour to Chang'an to join Gu Linzhi."

"Remember, don't let him think about bringing troops to avenge me."

"Looking at the world, the only person who can deal with Yuan Shao is Gu Linzhi."

After speaking, Gongsun Zan handed the seal to Wang Men.

But Wang Men did not accept the seal, instead handing it to Tian Yu.

"My lord, I want to die here with you."

"Besides, the armor I'm wearing is very recognizable."

"If the seal is in my hands, if I am caught and killed by the enemy, the seal will still be lost."

"It's better to give it to Tian Yu."

Seeing this, Tian Yu also wanted to say something more.

But facing the expectant gazes of Gongsun Zan and Wang Men, Tian Yu had to accept the seal.

As a Military Sima, he was not conspicuous on the battlefield.

Furthermore, Gongsun Zan and Wang Men had already embraced the intention of death.

If Tian Yu also died here, Gongsun Xu, Gongsun Zan's eldest son who was left behind in Youzhou, would find it very difficult to know the situation here.

At that time.

If Yuan Shao took the opportunity to attack the city of Youbeiping, the end waiting for Gongsun Xu would likely be death.

……

The sound of weapons clashing on the battlefield slowly subsided.

Gongsun Zan's corpse had already been taken by Yan Liang.

Beside Gongsun Zan, Wang Men also guarded until the last moment.

"Gongyu, Gongsun Zan is dead, why aren't you happy?"

Beside Ju Shou, Feng Ji looked at him with confusion and asked.

He didn't quite understand, since the purpose of this battle had been achieved, why was Ju Shou still wearing a bitter face?

"Yuantu, do you think the threat Gongsun Zan brings us can compare to Gu Linzhi?"

Ju Shou spoke slowly and asked Feng Ji in return.

Hearing this, Feng Ji thought to himself, isn't what Ju Shou said nonsense?

Although Gongsun Zan was fierce, compared to the massive faction built by Gu Yi, they were completely incomparable.

"So what if we defeated Gongsun Zan?"

"After Gu Linzhi returns from his southern expedition, he may launch a northern expedition at any time."

"At that time, how should we deal with it?"

Ju Shou murmured.

After speaking, he closed the iron-ribbed folding fan in his hand and walked toward the direction of the Heishan bandit leader Zhang Yan.

The reason why this battle could kill Gongsun Zan was that Zhang Yan and the Heishan bandits also contributed a lot.

After all, Zhang Yan was originally Yuan Shao's enemy.

To pull an enemy to his side, the price Ju Shou paid was not small.

Then, knowing that the Heishan bandits were greedy, why did Ju Shou still hire the Heishan bandits?

Because the Heishan bandits were now a very important armed force.

After obtaining the power of the Heishan bandits, Yuan Shao's confidence would become greater.

Otherwise, relying solely on these troops in Jizhou, Yuan Shao would not dare to go to war with Gu Yi at all.

……

Near Wancheng

Due to inconvenient roads and various internal affairs, it was very busy.

Gu Yi tossed and turned for a long time before returning to the north from Jiangdong.

At the same time, in order to stabilize the situation.

Of course, because Jiangxia had already been occupied by Gu Yi.

Plus Jingbei had been taken by Li Jue and Guo Si.

When Gu Yi returned, he directly chose to take a boat across the Hanshui River from Jiangxia and came to the vicinity of Wancheng.

Now, Liu Biao had shrunk his remaining forces into Xiangyang City, shivering.

However.

Although these two, Li Jue and Guo Si, were very good at field battles.

But facing the high walls and thick city of Xiangyang, they were scratching their heads and couldn't take it for a long time.

Fortunately, Xu Rong had already brought troops from Liangzhou to the vicinity of Wancheng.

After welcoming Gu Yi, Xu Rong would lead troops south to support Li Jue and Guo Si in capturing Xiangyang.

……

In the City Lord's Mansion of Wancheng

Gu Yi and Xu Rong met here.

The two had a very good friendship originally.

This time, they hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they were full of emotions.

As they talked, Xu Rong suddenly said aggrievedly:

"I said Linzhi, you are really not kind!"

"At that time, you sent me to Liangzhou to guard, but for so many years, when I wanted to fight, I was forced to expand westward to fight those Qiang and Di people who had no challenge at all."

"Oh right, there is also a Western Region person called Dayueshi."

Hearing this.

Gu Yi's mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly.

Is this TM Xu Rong speaking human language?

When he wanted to fight, he was forced to expand westward?

So those guys in the Western Regions became Xu Rong's experience packs?
