The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms - Vol 10 Chapter 330

The sun was shining brightly in the morning, and the wind in March and April was very pleasant.

There are flowers and trees in the courtyard. With the wind, there is a fragrance in the air.

But at this moment, faintly, the sound of drum horns and shouts of killing came from a distance in the south. Several servants who served Gongsun Zan thought they heard it wrong at first, but after listening, they really heard these sounds. They were all terrified, and they all turned their eyes to Gongsun Zan secretly.

Gongsun Zan seemed to have not heard these movements and was still dancing his sword.

After a while, the sound of Chu Chu’s footsteps came from outside the courtyard gate.

The footsteps were very rapid, and soon, four or five people hurried in from outside the courtyard.

These people are all wearing armor and swords, and they are all important generals under Gongsun Zan’s tent.

Entering the courtyard, these people saw that Gongsun Zan was dancing the sword, and did not dare to come forward to disturb them, so they, like the slaves, waited by the side, waiting for Gongsun Zan to finish dancing the sword.

During this period, there was the impatient general who turned his head from time to time to look at the place where the drum horns and the shouts of killing came from the south.

——The sound of drum horns and shouts of killing came from Yijing’s Nanwu Wall.

The so-called “Yijing”, this “jing” does not mean the capital, but its original meaning, that is, the meaning of tall. Yijing does not refer to a capital city called Yi, but means a dock built in a high place in Yi County.

This Wubao was built by Gongsun Zan in Yi County after listening to the nursery rhyme that was widely spread in Youzhou and other places explained to him by his righteous brother Liu Weitai. Many, built extremely sturdy.

Not only a large number of soldiers and horses were stationed in the fort, including the family members of these soldiers and soldiers, as well as Gongsun Zan’s own wife and son, etc., also lived in the fort, and hoarded mountains of grain, Gongsun Zan also lived inside and outside the fort. Encircled a large area, dedicated to the field. On the surface alone, this dock can be said to be impregnable and self-sufficient. Not long ago, when Gongsun Zan was drunk, he said to the left and right: “I rely on this fort. If I advance, I can attack, and if I retreat, it is enough to defend and wait for the world to change.”

Since the chaos of the Yellow Turbans, the docks in the sea are like forests, all over the state, county and countryside. Of course, the size of these docks is different, but the construction of docks as the basis for defense is no matter how ordinary places are. A tyrant, or the world’s top warlord, will make a common choice.

Gongsun Zan was like this, and so was Dong Zhuo in the early days.

The Wansui Dock built by Dong Zhuo in Yi County is very similar to Gongsun Zan’s fort. At that time, Dong Zhuo also hoarded a large amount of food in the fort and stationed his elite soldiers and horses. As for the rest, gold, silver and jewelry, not to mention .

But then again, in the midst of this chaotic world, you don’t want to be brave and diligent, but when you encounter setbacks, you want to retreat. What kind of big thing can this be? To put it more seriously, even if you think about shrinking in a corner, can you really shrink and wait for the big changes in the world in the end? Dong Zhuo is a lesson from the past, and this strategy is probably not advisable.

Gongsun Zan also had wise men under his account. In fact, these wise men were worried about this in private.

Now facing Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan is already at an absolute disadvantage. If this situation continues and Gongsun Zan does not want to change, then he will most likely die like Dong Zhuo. Grain, gold and silver can only be obtained by the enemy in the end.

However, Gongsun Zan started his career with military exploits, and his character was strong, but when Xia Yue was in decline, his temper became more and more irritable and eccentric, such as he refused to send troops to rescue the besieged general. The reason is definitely not something that ordinary people can come up with, so although the scholars have such ideas, no one dares to speak to him.

In the courtyard, the sound of drum horns and shouts of killing from the south became more and more urgent, and Gongsun Zan’s sword dance became more and more urgent.

Finally, some of the generals couldn’t hold back, took two steps forward and said, “Brother!”

Gongsun Zan turned a deaf ear, and the sword in his hand continued to dance.

The man raised his voice and shouted again, “Brother!”

Gongsun Zan still didn’t answer, but seeing him dance the sword like a silver plate, with light all over his body, it was really impossible for a needle to go in, and no water to splash. He raised his hand, aimed the sword at the target beside the wall, and threw it with all his might.

The target was used for archery. Gongsun Zan was located at a distance of twenty or thirty paces from the target. However, the sword was like an electric light, but it was thrown so far away by him. On the target, because it saw the momentum quickly, this sword was also a precious sword worn by Gongsun Zan. It cut iron like mud and was very heavy, so the target made a muffled sound, and the sword was suddenly torn apart by the sword. The sword kept going, it was almost to the wall, and then it fell to the ground, slanting into the soil on the ground, the hilt of the sword swayed.

The generals burst into applause.

Although Gongsun Zan was brave and strong, and danced the sword for a long time, at this moment, he was also slightly out of breath, and his body was dripping with sweat.

The slaves hurriedly held warm water and silk scarves, came in and carefully wiped the sweat for him.

Gongsun Zan turned around, faced these generals and said, “What’s wrong?”

The general who called Gongsun Zan “Brother” twice was Gongsun Fan, the younger brother of Gongsun Zan. He pointed to the guide and said to Gongsun Zan, “Brother, Chunyu Qiong sent troops and horses to attack. I am Fortress.”

“In a while, has Chunyu Qiong attacked my Wubao yet? What’s the use! There is no way to advance. If he attacks, let him attack.”

Gongsun Fan frowned and said: “Brother, this offensive is different from the previous offensive. I just came down from the south wall, but when I was just on the south wall, I saw not only the flags of generals such as Gao Lan, but also the generals of Chunyu Qiong. I also saw the flag,… Brother, today’s enemy’s offensive, depending on the posture, is Chunyu Qiong personally supervising the battle!”

“Not to mention that Chunyu Qiong is personally supervising the battle, Yuan Shao is here, so what? Can he still break through my dock wall?” Gongsun Zan didn’t even look at the south where the screams of killing came. After saying this, he pushed away. The servant who wiped his sweat slightly raised his head and looked at the sky.

Gongsun Fan wanted to say more, but saw Gongsun Zan suddenly stretch out his hand.

The sun was like water, pouring down from Gongsun Zan’s spread fingers, casting a dark shadow on the ground.

Gongsun Fan and others didn’t know what Gongsun Zan was going to do, so Gongsun Fan stopped what he wanted to say for the time being and waited to see what Gongsun Zan would do next.

Gongsun Zan didn’t seem to feel the gazes of Gongsun Fan and others at all. He looked at the shadow his hand cast on the ground for a while, and immediately put his two hands together, his thumbs were intertwined, and his two palms were spread out to both sides. Then, he raised his hands again, and the black shadow on the ground became like an eagle. Gongsun Zan waved his palms, and the generals looked at the black shadow on the ground. Following Gongsun Zan’s movements, it was like an eagle flying with wings. ——This kind of trick is a child’s game, not only Gongsun Zan, the generals present, and even those slaves, most of them played this way when they were young, but when Chunyu Qiong personally oversaw the army and came to attack Wubao, Gongsun Zan actually had such an elegant look. , After playing this game, the generals all looked at each other in dismay.

Gongsun Zan leaned forward slightly, stepped forward, walked around the yard, and gradually speeded up, the eagle was like Yue Fei getting faster and faster. However, suddenly, Gongsun Zan seemed to be bored. He stopped, separated his hands, stood there for a while, then walked to the wall, bent down and picked up the saber he just threw, and lifted it up. With the sword, he returned to the front of the generals.

Zhu generals, you look at me, and I look at you.

In the end, it was Gongsun Fan who spoke out on behalf of the generals, and he said: “Brother, Chunyu Qionggu is not worth mentioning, but the enemy’s attack is very fierce, in the opinion of the foolish brother, did Brother A look up at the south wall? To boost morale?”

Gongsun Zan asked, “Where is the long history?”

Gongsun Fan replied, “As Brother A said, Chang Shi is already at the south wall and is commanding the defense.”

Long history is also Guan Jing.

Gongsun Zan said: “Looking at all generations, they are all defeated generals under my command. Why do I need to go to fight them in person? With a long history, it is enough.”

It wasn’t Gongsun Zanada, but his fortress was indeed strong. Jizhou soldiers had been besieging the city for half a month. But until now, as Gongsun Zan said, there is still no progress, basically no progress.

Even so, Gongsun Fan and other generals couldn’t help but feel flustered.

They had just seen the enemy’s situation from the southern wall. Standing on the southern wall and looking out from the city tower, they could see that on the far and near wilderness, the sky and the earth were covered with soldiers and horses under Chunyu Qiong. Although Yijing occupies a large area, although the strong prison, but surrounded by the enemy army like a sea of ​​fire, it is like a small wooden boat, which may be overturned or burned at any time.

Gongsun Fan said: “Brother, besides Chunyu Qiongbu, who attacked my Wubao today, I was looking at it from the Nancheng Tower, and there were soldiers from Youzhou in the east. I’m afraid that defending the city today will be a **** battle, because of my ignorance. , it’s better that my brother can visit the city head in person!”

Gongsun Zan was too lazy to talk to Gongsun Fan and the others, the long sword was dragged on the ground, making a rattling sound, and walked towards the hall.

Gongsun Fan and the other generals looked at each other again, wanting to follow, and followed Gongsun Zan into the hall~www.mtlnovel.com~ but Gongsun Zan walked forward while giving orders, and everyone listened to him and said, “Wait a minute, go and guard the imperial court. But don’t bother me again.”

Gongsun Fan and the other generals had no choice but to bow down to salute and send Gongsun Zan into the hall. Afterwards, the generals left the courtyard and returned to the battlefield.

When Gongsun Zan arrived in the hall, he didn’t go to the main seat to take a seat. He just found a mat next to him and sat down, threw his sword on the ground, and called for his servants to bring wine.

A big slave led two beautiful maids, and quickly served Gongsun Zan wine and a few dishes to drink.

When the big slave filled the wine glass, Gongsun Zan picked up the wine glass, drank it in one gulp, and signaled the big slave to pour it.

In this way, after drinking several glasses, Gongsun Zan cried out happily and put the wine glass on the table.

That big slave was always loved by Gongsun Zan and was one of Gongsun Zan’s cronies. He hesitated again and again and said to Gongsun Zan: “Everyone, what General Gongsun said just now seems to be reasonable. See, why don’t you go to the top of the city? If you can visit the top of the city in person, it will be a great boost to our army’s morale.”

Gongsun Zan raised his eyes and looked down at him, and said, “Why, do you think Chunyu Qiong can break through my Yi Jing?”

The big slave was startled, and hurriedly fell to the ground, saying, “How dare you think like this! Chunyu Qiongyan is everyone’s rival!”

Gongsun Zan called him up and said, “What do you know? I’m arrogant!”

“A strategy for arrogant enemies?”

Gongsun Zan turned his face to the courtyard and said with a sneer, “Also, Rong Chunyu Qiong has been arrogant for a few days. After my reinforcements arrive, we will attack from both inside and outside. Why don’t you worry about it?” The words were full of self-confidence, and in his eyes, there was a faint candlelight. of brilliance.
