Chapter eighty-fifth
(Thank you for your recent rewards, and continue to ask for votes, and I urgently need a recommendation vote.)
The news that Nanpi was burned and the Youzhou army had 500,000 hu of grain and grass were burned out quickly spread throughout the army.
All the soldiers of Yuan's army were excited by this news and their morale was greatly boosted.
When the Youzhou army heard that their food and grass were burned, it was naturally turbulent in the army and people were terrified.
Gongsun Zan had to draw more than 10,000 troops from the front line and return to Nanpi to rescue him. He had no intention of launching an attack on Pingyuan City.
The Youzhou Army's offensive suddenly decreased.
Plain City.
In the palace, Yuan Fangzheng was in a good mood as he listened to the scouts' reports on the shrinking of the Youzhou Army's troops and the closing of the camp.
At this time, Mi Huan walked into the hall and asked in surprise: "Young Master, I heard that the food and grass of Youzhou Army in Nanpi City were burned. Could it be that the young master sent someone to attack from the sea?"
Yuan Fang smiled slightly: "Of course I did it. If it weren't for this, why should I borrow a boat from your Mi family? Speaking of which, there is another contribution to you."
After being personally admitted by Yuan Fang, Mi Huan was surprised to believe that the rumors he heard were actually true.
"The storm and waves at sea are hard to measure, and the risk of sneak attacks from sea is hard to measure. You, young master, dare to take such a big risk. This is too..." Mi Huan was deeply shocked by Yuan Fang's courage and didn't know how to evaluate it.
Yuan Fang said lightly: "The risk is high and the reward is high. This war is like doing business. Miss Mi is a businessman and should understand the truth best."
Mi Huan's graceful figure trembled deeply, and an incredible expression appeared on his face.
She had thought she had known Yuan Fang before, but now she suddenly realized that she didn't know anything.
"I can never guess what he will do next, he is really hard for people to think about..." Mi Huan's thoughts were thrilling in his heart, and it was difficult to calm down.
At this time, the personal soldiers outside the hall came to report that it was Taishi Ci who led the sneak attack and victorious army to triumph and had reached the north bank ferry.
When Taishi Ci'an returned, Yuan Fang was overjoyed and did not care about Mi Huan. He immediately rode his horse out of the palace and ordered all the civil and military officials to gather together and greet him with him.
Before he left the city gate, Taishi Ci had already led his army to the city.
"Tai Shi Ziyi, you did a pretty job. Your fire is so hot that my heart is so hot, haha--" Yuan Fang was in a good mood and came forward with a smile.
Taishi Ci also pushed forward and bowed and smiled, "If the young master had not had such a strange strategy, how could he have the chance to achieve this amazing achievement in the end?"
Yuan Fang laughed and pointed at Guo Jia beside him and said, "I have to think of this plan, thanks to Guo Fengxiao."
Guo Jia, who was holding up the wine gourd, quickly shook his head like a rattle and waved his hand and said, "This has nothing to do with me, the alcoholic, it's all the credit of our young master."
Although Guo Jia assisted Yuan Fang, he was like an "idle" who was indifferent to fame and fortune and only wanted to be happy. He did not regard the contribution of making suggestions at all.
Yuan Fang knew that Guo Jia was free and easy, and no longer focused on exaggerating his contributions. So he entered the city with Taishi Ci and other victorious soldiers.
When he entered the palace, Yuan Fang was about to ask the banquet to celebrate Taishi Ci's achievements. Taishi Ci suddenly remembered something and said, "I finally attacked Nanpi from the sea. In addition to burning Gongsun Zan's food and grass, I also brought a gift to Gongzi.
”
Gift?
Yuan Fang suddenly became interested and asked Taishi Ci to bring the so-called gift.
Soon, a man with dirt was dragged in and fell heavily to the ground.
The man was very unhappy and struggled to get up, raising his head to Yuan Fang and raised his chest.
Only then did Yuan Fang recognize that the guy in front of him was Gongsun Fan who he let him go that day.
When Yuan Fang saw Gongsun Fan, he became angry and a bone-broken chill appeared in his eyes.
Gongsun Fan pretended to be calm and did not kneel down or bow down to Yuan Fang, but still held his head high.
With his eyes like a blade, Yuan Fang shouted: "The defeated general who was captured twice dares to be arrogant in front of me. Yuan Gui, let him kneel down for me!"
Yuan Gui stepped forward and kicked him hard, hitting Gongsun Fan's calves.
Gongsun Fan screamed in pain, his legs became weak, and he knelt in front of Yuan.
Gongsun Fan, who was humiliated, wanted to stand up, but Yuan Gui pressed his shoulder hard, and he could get up no matter how hard he struggled.
"Yuan Fang, if you dare to be so rude to me, my elder brother will not let you go after you conquer the plains!" Gongsun Fan, who was angry and embarrassed, yelled in roar.
Yuan Fang stared at him and said sternly: "You still have the face to shout to me. I asked you, I gave you a way out and asked you to go back and pass a message to Gongsun Zan. Why do you lie?"
Faced with Yuan Fang's questioning, Gongsun Fan, who was originally angry, suddenly felt a hint of shame on his face.
On that day, Gongsun Fan lied to so many people that Yuan Fang admitted to killing Gongsun Xu. Many people had witnessed this and spread quickly. Yuan Fang also heard about it from the mouth of the meticulous work.
Yuan Fang spared Gongsun Fan's life, but this guy refused to obey his promise and lied openly. How could Yuan Fang not be angry?
Gongsun Fan, who thought he had escaped, probably never expected that he would fall into Yuan Fang's hands for the second time.
Faced with Yuan Fang's questioning, Gongsun Fanqiang pressed his ashamed and snorted coldly: "Why should I listen to you? It's obviously you who killed my nephew, but you dare not act like that. I'm just telling the truth."
At this point, Gongsun Fan dared to speak nonsense.
Yuan Fang was furious, and his murderous intent shot in his eyes. He slapped the table and shouted: "Oh, you are a person who is untrustworthy. This is your own way of death. Come on, drag him out and behead me!"
The left and right personal troops stepped forward, dragged Gongsun Fan and left.
Gongsun Fan was shocked and did not expect Yuan Fang to kill him. He shouted anxiously: "Little thief Yuan Fang, my elder brother has tens of thousands of soldiers. I will capture the plain sooner or later. If you dare to kill me, my elder brother will break you up.
There are so many corpses."
When Gongsun Fan died, he didn't know how to beg for mercy, but he still dared to move out Gongsun Zan to threaten Yuan Fang.
Didn’t he know that Yuan Fang, who was oppressed, hated the most was that others threatened and despised him?
Yuan Fang snorted coldly, waved his hand and shouted, "After killing this guy, hang his head high on the top of the plain city, let Gongsun Zan take a good look, what will happen if I provoke Yuan Fang."
"Little Thief Yuan Fang, my elder brother will not let you go, I will not let you go..." The screams gradually faded away, and Gongsun Fan was dragged out.
The knife fell with his hands and the head fell with his ground.
On that day, the bloody head was hung high on the wall of the northern gate of the plain.
North of the city, the Youzhou Army Camp.
Gongsun Zan was paced back and forth, his eyebrows were deep and his face was filled with anxiety.
Nanpi grain and grass were burned, and his younger brother Gongsun Fan was unclear about his life and death. He was in a hurry, but he was repeatedly frustrated. How could he not feel unhappy?
It would be fine if he was defeated by Yuan Shao several times, but now he could not even fight against Yuan Shao's illegitimate genius. Where would he put the face of Gongsun, who was so powerful in the world?
Just as he was uneasy, Guan Jing rushed in in a hurry and exclaimed: "My lord, the big thing is wrong. General Zhonggui's head was hung on the city gate by the enemy."
"What!" Gongsun Zan was shocked and rushed out of the tent and led a team of cavalry to the front line of the plain city gate.
After dozens of steps apart, I looked up and saw a big head hanging from the city gate.
After a closer look, the head turned out to be his younger brother Gongsun Fan.
In an instant, Gongsun Zan was extremely frightened and felt that he was hit by the thunder, but he almost couldn't sit firmly.
The son Gongsun Xu died at Yuan Fang's hands, and his younger brother Gongsun Fan was also killed by Yuan Fang. Gongsun Zan has now become a lonely man, all of which are given by Yuan Fang.
Although Gongsun Xu and Gongsun Fan's deaths were all because he violated Yuan Fang first, Gongsun Zan, who was extremely angry, was blinded by anger and ignored nothing.
"Little thief Yuan Fang, you kill my son first, and then my brother. My Gongsun Zan can't spare you, so I will never forgive you!"
Under the extreme hatred, Gongsun Zan's eyes were covered with blood and he shouted like crazy: "Tell me my order, divide my troops to attack the plains and counties. No matter the towns, the men, women, young and old, I will kill them all. I will wash the plains bloodily!
”
The extremely angry Gongsun Zan could not break the Pingyuan City or kill Yuan Fang, but was angry with the people of Pingyuan County.
