Chapter 676: Trapped in the lonely city, Gongsun Zan bows to Liu Cheng(1/2)
Chapter 676: Trapped in the isolated city, Gongsun Zan surrenders to Liu Cheng
"My lord, this thief Yuan Shao is getting more and more arrogant. We cannot be trapped in the isolated city. We must find a way to get out of this crisis.
We cannot sit still and wait for death.”
Here in Yijing, Gongsun Zan's chief officer, Guan Jing, watched Gongsun Zan say this and gave him advice.
At this time, Gongsun Zan seemed to be less energetic than Gongsun Zan who had gathered all the princes from the world to attack Dong Zhuo.
The whole person looks more vicissitudes of life.
At the same time, there is also some depression, and it is no longer what it was before.
In the past, Gongsun Zan held the Youzhou frontier army.
Megatron Frontier.
He led the White Horse Yi Cong all over the country and was known as the White Horse General.
He had a very high reputation among Xianbei, Wuhuan and others.
But now, after several ups and downs, the original White Horse General has disappeared.
Only a depressed Gongsun Zan was left.
He still can't figure out why he always won the battle with Yuan Shao at the beginning, but now he was beaten by the opponent.
Yuan Shao's troops are definitely not as elite as his own.
He was a fierce general who came from the border, and Yuan Shao was just a concubine who only knew how to fight on paper.
How can you compare with yourself?
But at this time, he was being suppressed and beaten by the other party, which made him feel particularly depressed.
And it was only at this time that he realized how happy he had been beating those foreigners in the past.
If today's big Han people really fight against foreigners, they will be destroyed.
However, once you fight with your own people, it becomes more difficult.
Just from here, we can see how big the gap is between these so-called foreigners and the powerful army of the Han Dynasty.
Even at this time, the big man was already torn into pieces.
These foreigners still couldn't make any waves in front of the Han's iron cavalry.
Gongsun Zan stood up after hearing this, looked at Guan Jing and said, "What does the chief minister think should be done about this matter?"
Guan Jing looked at Gongsun Zan, who looked so depressed, and couldn't help but feel uncomfortable in his heart.
The mood seems relatively low.
But he still raised his hands to Gongsun Zan and said: "My lord, I feel that at this time, my lord should ask for help from others."
"Ask for help?"
Gongsun Zan said: "Where can I ask for help?
Who among these people can fight against Yuan Shao?"
Guan Jing said: "I wonder if my lord still remembers that traitor Liu Cheng became the King of Han?"
Gongsun Zan nodded: "Of course I know that this traitor is lucky. A pig-killer actually became the King of Han at this time.
I jumped in front of the people I was waiting for.
How hateful!"
As he said this, he felt a little angry in his heart for a moment.
Why can't I have the surname Liu?
If my surname is Liu, maybe I can call myself Queen Jing of Zhongshan.
If so, maybe everything will be different.
When Guan Jing heard this, he looked at Gongsun Zan and said, "Then I wonder what my lord thinks of this matter?"
Gongsun Zan said: "What do you think? This guy is a pig-killer. He is just lucky enough to have someone in the court occupying a high position. Naturally, I am dissatisfied.
But at this time, it is far away from Guanzhong, so we cannot attack it, otherwise, I, Gongsun Zan, will definitely compete with him!"
Hearing what Gongsun Zan said, Guan Jing couldn't help but shake his head secretly.
Was it just luck that Liu Cheng was able to reach this point?
"I know that my lord is very unjust about this. My lord also cares about the world and cannot bear to see the Emperor of Han lose his power.
But at this time, the lord may have to change his views on Liu Cheng.
The subordinates felt that the Lord should spread the word here and strongly support Liu Cheng in becoming king.
Then at this time, send envoys to Guanzhong.
Go there to see Liu Cheng and express your surrender to Liu Cheng.
In fact, if you really think about it, this is not a surrender to Liu Cheng, but a surrender to the imperial court.
Then he asked Liu Cheng to send troops to attack Yuan Shao.
As long as Liu Cheng can send troops, Yuan Shao will definitely be frightened...
This battle has taken a turn for the better..."
Hearing what Guan Jing said, Gongsun Zan was silent for a moment.
He sat there, thinking about things, and said nothing.
Seeing this, Guan Jing waited for a while and then said again: Lord, please don't care about what the world will say.
These are all false, no matter how they talk about you, you are still the same.
As long as the lord can get rid of this crisis and become strong again in the future, everything will be different.
These people will shut up."
Gongsun Zan shook his head and said: "I don't care what others say.
No matter how much others say, what does it have to do with me?
I have long disliked these snarky scholars!
And it’s not like I haven’t seen it before.
How can I, Gongsun Zan, care about what these people say?"
Guan Jing was stunned when she heard this, and then said: "Then why did my lord hesitate?"
Gongsun Zan sighed and said: "Nothing else, I just can't bear to live under the hands of the man who kills pigs.
I don't want to surrender to him.
This person is nothing more than a pig-killer, and he had a lot of hatred against me at Sishui Pass in the past.
They killed many of my soldiers and horses, causing many casualties among my white-horse rebels.
At this point, you need to bow your head in front of this person and bow to him.
I feel really angry."
Guan Jing heard this and said: "My lord, I understand how you feel.
But at this time, you need to be patient for a while.
A man can bend and stretch. In those days, heroes like the Marquis of Huaiyin were even humiliated under the crotch.
My lord, you are just temporarily enduring the humiliation, so what can you do?
Only by enduring your anger for a while can you move forward better in the future.
No matter how you say it, Liu Cheng has become the King of Han of the Han Dynasty at this time, the kind who canonized by the emperor himself.
Rather than surrendering in front of Liu Cheng, defeat at the hands of Yuan Shao will make everyone in the world laugh at you."
After hearing what Guan Jing said, Gongsun Zan thought for a while, nodded and said: "What you said makes sense.
Although it is a bit shameful to submit to Liu Cheng.
But relatively speaking, losing at the hands of Yuan Shao, or even dying at the hands of this thief, is even more uncomfortable.
According to your words, I will send an envoy to Liu Cheng and ask him to send troops!"
Hearing Gongsun Zan say this, Guan Jing couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
He was really afraid that Gongsun Zan would stay here forever and refused to do this.
"Just at this time, if you bow to Liu Cheng and ask him to send troops, will he send troops to rescue you?
This person has been in Guanzhong, where he has been hiding for a long time and has never been out.
Guanzhong is far away from here.
How could he be willing to send troops to attack Yuan Shao and rescue me?"
Speaking of this, Gongsun Zan felt a little worried.
Guan Jing said: "My lord, if it had been in the past, Liu Cheng might not have sent troops and would still have stopped in Guanzhong.
But now, things are different.
To be continued...
