The Three Kingdoms – Conquer the World - C355

Seeing that Gongsun Zan took the initiative to seek death, Liu Bei turned pale with fright, and quickly retreated with his treasure sword. If Gongsun Zan died from his sword, Gongsun Xu would fight to the death with him! He knew clearly in his heart that with the current situation and people arriving at Gongsun Xu’s side, once a chaotic battle broke out, the probability of the Xuzhou Army being defeated would be more than 70 to 80%. At that time, if Gongsun Xu brought the Dark Elegant Horse to chase after him, there was not even a chance that he would be able to return to the Xuzhou City alive.

Gongsun Zan’s head hit empty air, and he couldn’t help but fall forward. His reaction was considered fast, and his two palms just happened to push against the ground, barely stabilizing his body, so that he didn’t directly fall to the ground.

Liu Bei was too anxious that he actually forgot to let the guards go up for a moment. Instead, he went up himself and prepared to control Gongsun Zan.

He couldn’t help but let out a loud shout. He had already made up his mind, if Gongsun Zan died just like this, even if he was chased all the way to Xuzhou City, he would slaughter Liu Bei and his subordinates at all costs! He did not expect Liu Bei to dodge in time, and immediately shot another arrow at Liu Bei without hesitation. As long as this person died under his bow and arrow, the Xuzhou Army would undoubtedly collapse.

Most of the people on both sides were shocked by Gongsun Zan’s previous action. The extremely noisy battlefield actually went silent for a moment, which resulted in the dull sound of the bowstring being transmitted to Liu Bei’s ears just in time. Liu Bei knew that Gongsun Xu’s archery skills were terrifying, so he did not have time to think about it, and quickly threw away the treasure sword in an instant, lowering his body and using both hands to support Gongsun Zan as a shield.

Gongsun Zan had already fallen into a semi-conscious state and simply did not have the ability to struggle free from Liu Bei. He also did not know that he had already been used by Liu Bei as a shield. When he was lifted up by Liu Bei, his right hand barely moved for a moment, before he collapsed into Liu Bei’s embrace.

When Gongsun Xu shot out his arrow, he immediately gave the order to speed up once again. Right at this moment, he saw Liu Bei’s actions, and immediately shouted out in shock: “No!”

Pfft! Before Gongsun Xu could finish his words, the sharp armor-breaking arrow had already hit the right side of his heart!

Even though the armor on Gongsun Zan’s body was refined by Ma Jun, but Gongsun Xu’s armor-breaking arrow s were even sharper, and he even used a six stone strong bow, instantly piercing through the hard armor, causing the entire arrow tip almost to pierce into Gongsun Zan’s back! Fortunately the armor that Gongsun Zan was wearing was of the highest quality, so more than half of the armor-breaking arrow’s strength had been offset. Otherwise, it would have flowed out of his body!

Gongsun Zan groaned, then went limp.

Only now did Liu Bei realize what he had done. He lowered his head to look at the armor-breaking arrow that was stuck on Gongsun Zan’s back, and quickly let go of it as if it was burnt. Gongsun Zan fell to the ground with a thump. His strong body did not move at all, as if he had already lost his life.

“Let’s go!” “Hurry up and go!” Liu Bei immediately regained his senses, screaming as he rushed towards his warhorse.

Gongsun Xu had not recovered from the shock, he looked blankly at Gongsun Zan who was lying on the ground, and the strong bow in his hand involuntarily dropped to the ground.

“General!” “General!” Zhao Yun was shocked to see Gongsun Zan being shot with an arrow, he anxiously turned his head to look at Gongsun Xu, only to see him stunned on the spot, and quickly shouted twice.

“General!” Liu Bei is escaping! ” At this time, Kurna also rushed over, pointing at Liu Bei who was running towards the south on his steed and shouted.

Gongsun Xu was awoken by Zhao Yun and her shouts, she anxiously looked in front of Gongsun Zan, and sure enough, she saw that Liu Bei, with more than a hundred guards surrounding him, was walking through the crowd of Xuzhou Army towards the south. When the large group of Xuzhou Army realized that their master had escaped, how could they dare to stay behind to wait for death? They all turned to flee, the crowd pushing and shoving, the scene was extremely chaotic, no one even cared if Gongsun Zan was dead or alive.

“Zi Long!” Gongsun Xu gasped, her tone as cold as ice.

“This lowly general is here!” Zhao Yun quickly replied in a loud voice.

Gongsun Xu stared at Zhao Yun with his blood red eyes, and bellowed: “Go and bring Liu Bei back, let’s not care about death! If he is allowed to escape, then don’t come back to see me! ”

Ever since that night when Zhao Yun went to recoup Zhao Yun, he had never once spoken to Zhao Yun in such a harsh tone. Now that he said such decisive and heavy words, it could be seen that he had completely lost control of his emotions.

Zhao Yun hesitated for a moment, then cupped his fists: “I will not disappoint you!” With that, he brought the White Horse Camp’s cavalry to chase after Liu Bei.

“Kurna!” Gongsun Xu then turned to look at Kurna.

Kurna was extremely careful as he asked respectfully: “What orders do you have for me, General?”

Gongsun Xu drew a large circle in front of him, and coldly ordered: “Kill them, don’t let even one of them go!”

Kurna was clever, there were at least seventeen to eighteen thousand people in the Xuzhou Army, but Gongsun Xu actually wanted to exterminate them all. Although the cavalry under his command were incomparably strong, it was impossible for a single person to escape! Only, he knew that the current Gongsun Xu definitely could not be reasoned with, and quickly agreed, leading his subordinates’ cavalry to chase after the scattered Xuzhou Army soldiers to kill them.

Gongsun Xu acted as if he did not see the Wu Huan Cavalry that was charging in front of him. He used all his might to push his horse forward, and his eyes fell on Gongsun Zan who was lying on the ground motionlessly. When he was close to Gongsun Zan, he slowly stopped and jumped off his horse. He wanted to walk over, but his legs were as heavy as a ton and he didn’t take even half a step for a long time.

He was very scared! He was trembling with fear!

If Gongsun Zan died just like this, and if he died by his own hands, how could he face Hou Yue and Gongsun Rui later on? Furthermore, ever since he was reborn, Gongsun Zan had always been very concerned about him, and many scenes of him and his son together constantly flashed through his mind. For a lonely mercenary who had not tried to be family in his previous life, the warmth of this family far surpassed his desire for the Grand Hegemony!

When Zhao Yun led the White Horse Camp’s cavalry past Gongsun Zan’s vicinity, they intentionally left more than a hundred people to guard Gongsun Zan, but this time, Gongsun Xu was too hurried when he was going south, so he did not bring the chaperone along. As a result, they could only look on helplessly as Gongsun Zan did not even dare to move recklessly.

One of the military lord s saw that Gongsun Xu was not moving, and knew what his general was most concerned about, so he bent down to test Gongsun Zan’s breathing, and immediately cried out in joy: “General! General! Master Hou is still breathing! ”

Gongsun Xu was startled, she stared at the military lord with her mouth agape, she could not believe her own ears.

The military lord called out again, “General! Master Hou is still breathing! ”

When he was a mercenary in his previous life, injuries were a common occurrence. Gongsun Xu was no stranger to the treatment of external injuries. Therefore, he did not dare to act recklessly. He only cut open his clothes, applied some Golden Sore Medicine on every wound, and then carefully cut off the arrow shaft, leaving the arrow in the flesh and blood.

After he was done, Gongsun Xu stood up. Suddenly, his vision went black and he almost fell over.

“General!” The people beside him hurriedly supported him.

“Go cut down the trees and make a stretcher!” Gongsun Xu pushed away the hand he was supporting himself with, pointed to the nearby trees and ordered.

This stretcher was one of them. Later on, when Hua Tuo was in charge of medical affairs in University Hall of Youzhou, he had mentioned all the things that Gongsun Xu had mentioned to him one by one, although the stretcher was simple, the effects were not bad. As a result, Hua Tuo promoted the stretcher with force, so the Youzhou Army was very familiar with this stretcher. Hearing Gongsun Xu’s orders, a dozen people ran out into the forest.

When they were charging, Guo Jia, who had a very weak physique, was at the very back of the group. This time, he had rushed over, and upon seeing Gongsun Zan lying on the ground, he immediately ran over and anxiously asked. Children! How is father-in-law doing? ”

Gongsun Xu sighed and did not answer his question.

Guo Jia already knew Gongsun Xu like the back of his hand, upon seeing his current state, he knew that he would not get an answer no matter how long he asked. He anxiously grabbed hold of a person and asked sternly: “What happened?”

This person didn’t dare to hide anything, so he simply told her everything that had happened.

After Guo Jia heard this, his face turned as pale as paper. The people of Great Han Dynasty valued filial piety the most, and hated unfilial people the most, not to mention people who killed their fathers with their own hands! The whole thing was an accident, but the citizens of the world did not know the truth. If anything were to happen to Gongsun Zan, if there was someone who added fuel to the fire, the citizens would definitely think that Marquis Jin died in the hands of their own son! At that time, would be despised by the whole world, let alone the whole world!

When Guo Jia thought here, he was no longer able to maintain his calm. He grabbed Gongsun Xu by the collar and shouted sternly: “My son, how is father-in-law?”
