Now that he is really at the end of his rope, Gongsun Zan really doesn't know what to do. He can't escape or defend. Could he really surrender? For this, the rather conceited Gongsun Zan will never be able to do it.
This kind of thing.
But if he doesn't surrender, what else can he do? After thinking about it, there is only one way that can be used, and that is to die to thank the world. Apart from committing suicide, he can't think of any way to solve this matter.
Thinking of this, Gongsun Zan couldn't bear it. But thinking about it again, even though he was very reluctant to give up and didn't want to lose his life, compared with the shame of being defeated and captured, it would be better to die happily.
Gongsun Zan is such a person, his own glory is more important than his life. Therefore, he is absolutely not willing to be humiliated, which finally strengthens his belief.
With a desire to live, Gongsun Zan ordered people to prepare wine and food. This was his last meal before his death. If he didn't eat better, he would really be sorry for himself.
After eating and drinking, Gongsun Zan inspected the inner city of Yijing alone. Gongsun Zan was extremely satisfied with this solid city because it was the building he was most satisfied with and it was built under his own supervision.
Looking at the soldiers who had been sticking to their posts, Gongsun Zan showed a smile of satisfaction. Throughout his military life, there are still many dedicated soldiers guarding him until now. It seems that he has not failed as a lord.
After the inspection, Gongsun Zan came to his room. At this time, the room was filled with the pungent smell of the kerosene. This was prepared by Gongsun Zan early in the morning, and it was also the only kerosene left in the entire inner city.
Since he chose to die, he had to die vigorously. Simply wiping his neck was not considered vigorous, so he chose to end his life in the fire. It was the best choice to end his military life with the blazing fire.
After pouring all the kerosene into his house, Gongsun Zan lit the huozhezi in his hand and threw the huozhezi onto the kerosene. In an instant, a fire burst into the sky.
In the flames, Gongsun Zan looked up to the sky and smiled. Seeing himself gradually being swallowed by the flames, Gongsun Zan's laughter became more and more heroic.
The fire became more and more intense, and it was not until the fire reached the sky that Gongsun Zan's soldiers reacted. They roared fiercely, and then began to put out the fire, but now it was too late. With the presence of kerosene, there was no way to control the fire.
At this moment, Gongsun Zan's soldiers heard the heroic smile in the flames, and then realized that Gongsun Zan was still in the fire. Thinking of this, Gongsun Zan's soldiers worked harder to put out the fire, because their lord was in the flames.
But all their efforts were in vain. No matter how hard they tried to extinguish the flames, the flames still showed no tendency to weaken. The fire became more and more intense, leaving no one able to do anything.
The changes in the inner city of Yijing did not escape the eyes of Yuan Jun outside the city. Seeing the fire in the inner city, someone among Yuan Jun immediately informed Yuan Shao of this strange phenomenon in the inner city.
Hearing the report from the soldiers under his tent, Yuan Shao showed a slightly surprised expression. He didn't know what Gongsun Zan was doing in the internal affairs that led to this situation. The fire was soaring into the sky. Could it be that there was a fire in the inner city?
With such doubts, Yuan Shao ordered people to continue to inquire, and at this moment, Zhao Fei hurriedly appeared in Yuan Shao's camp.
Zhao Fei was also clear about the actions in the inner city of Yijing. When he heard the fire in the inner city, Zhao Fei immediately knew what was happening in the inner city. If the trend of history is followed, the fire in the inner city
The soaring to the sky was probably caused by Gongsun Zan's self-immolation.
Zhao Fei still fully agreed with this idea. If Gongsun Zan hadn't set himself on fire, how could we explain the phenomenon of flames soaring into the sky in the inner city of Yijing? Could it be that Gongsun Zan was having a bonfire party? This is absolutely impossible.
Gongsun Zan had run out of ammunition and food, and his only way out had been buried. He had no chance to escape from the prison-like inner city. Gongsun Zan didn't want to be captured, so he had no choice but to commit suicide.
Seeing Zhao Fei appear in front of him, Yuan Shao immediately asked: "The soldiers just sent news that the inner city was on fire. I wonder what happened in the inner city of Pengju?"
Yuan Shao could tell the purpose of Zhao Fei's appearance here with just a moment's thought. Zhao Fei would never sit back and ignore such a change in the inner city. Since he appeared in front of him, he could be sure that Zhao Fei was concerned about this.
There is definitely some insight into the matter. After hearing Yuan Shao's words, Zhao Fei thought about it for a moment, and then said: "I think this way is a good thing. If it doesn't exceed my expectations, I'm afraid I haven't waited for Benchu's secret way yet."
Once it is dug through, Gongsun Zan's defenders in the inner city will abandon the city and surrender."
Yuan Shao was stunned by Zhao Fei's words. He could not imagine that there was any inevitable connection between the flames in the inner city and the surrender of Gongsun Zan's army. But since Zhao Fei said this, it proved that he was somewhat sure of it.
"Why did Pengju say that? Does Pengju know what happened in the inner city?" Yuan Shao asked hurriedly. However, Zhao Fei did not directly reply to Yuan Shao. He looked at Yuan Shao with a smile on his face and then spoke.
Said: "In a few days, Benchu will know why I said this."
Yuan Shao was naturally a little dissatisfied with Zhao Fei's appetizing words. But seeing that Zhao Fei didn't want to talk, Yuan Shao didn't want to force Zhao Fei. After all, Zhao Fei also said it, and it wouldn't take him a few days to know what happened in the inner city.
What, why do you have to care about these one or two days?
While Zhao Fei and Yuan Shao were discussing here, the fire in the inner city of Yijing was finally put out by the soldiers under Gongsun Zan. After everyone spent a lot of time and effort, they finally put out the fire.
But even if everyone puts out the fire, it will be of no use. The fire is a mess, and Gongsun Zan's body has been burned beyond recognition by the fire. Even Gongsun Zan's close followers are difficult to determine whether the burnt body is Gongsun Zan.
of.
Although I am not sure whether the body is Gongsun Zan, I think it is almost certain. After all, it was Gongsun Zan's house that was on fire, and from the time of the fire until the fire was put out, no one was around Gongsun Zan.
All kinds of things can show that the burnt corpse in front of them is Gongsun Zan. When thinking of this, the soldiers under Gongsun Zan were at a loss. The master was dead, what should they do next.
After Gongsun Zan died, the backbone of everyone disappeared. After all, when Gongsun Zan was around, he still had people who could obey his orders, but after Gongsun Zan died, who could lead him.
Moreover, even if someone can lead him, how can he save his life? Now that Yuan Jun has surrounded the inner city, there is absolutely no possibility for him to break out. If he wants to survive, the only way is to surrender.
The news that Gongsun Zan was burned to death soon spread to every corner of the inner city. Everyone was panicked when they heard the news of Gongsun Zan's death. The reason why the soldiers were able to persist until now was because the lord Gongsun Zan was here. Now that Gongsun Zan is dead,
Why are so many generals so demoralized?
At this time, all the soldiers were discussing in twos and threes. Now that Gongsun Zan is dead, is there any point in continuing to defend the city? In the past, it was for Gongsun Zan to defend the city, but now it is for whom to defend the city.
The generals are different from Gongsun Zan, they are just soldiers. When Gongsun Zan was around, they had a sense of belonging in their hearts. But now that Gongsun Zan is dead, the sense of belonging among the generals has also disappeared.
Soldiers are soldiers. As long as there is a war, no one will reject them wherever they go. Now that Gongsun Zan has died, he has no obligation to continue to work for Gongsun Zan. Now that Yuan Jun is besieging the city, as long as he is willing to surrender, Yuan Shao must also be very happy.
Would love to see something like this.
Such a plan is not just for one soldier, almost all soldiers have such an idea. After all, the soldiers can't see any light at this time. Now they can only wait for death if they defend the inner city. The only way to survive is to surrender.
Already.
More and more people had this idea, and finally the soldiers chose to surrender. After all, compared with faith and life, it is more practical to hold on to life. If you lose your life, you have nothing. Faith can be
Do you want to eat? This is obviously impossible.
The closed gates of the inner city were opened wide, and a large number of Gongsun Zan's soldiers abandoned their weapons and surrendered. After hearing the news, Yuan Shao could hardly believe his ears. After fighting hard for so long, Yuan Jun had not achieved the slightest result, and now, Gongsun Zan's
The soldiers abandoned their weapons and surrendered. What on earth happened?
What surprised Yuan Shao even more was that the actions of Gongsun Zan's army were exactly what Zhao Fei had expected. He wanted to know why Zhao Fei had such an inference. At the same time, he also wanted to know what happened in the inner city.
what's going on.
With this idea in mind, Yuan Shao hurriedly called for Gongsun Zan's soldiers. He wanted to find out what happened in the inner city. Of course, there was also a particularly important point, where Gongsun Zan was.
He summoned Gongsun Zan's soldiers and asked him all his doubts in one breath. Yuan Shao's doubts were finally solved. He finally knew why Gongsun Zan's soldiers wanted to surrender. It turned out that everything was caused by Gongsun Zan's self-immolation.
The reason why the inner city was on fire that day was also caused by Gongsun Zan. At this time, Yuan Shao could completely understand that without Gongsun Zan, Gongsun Zan's soldiers no longer had the faith to continue to hold on, so they chose to surrender and save their lives.
After everything was figured out, Yuan Shao began to take over the entire Yi Jing City. Now that Gongsun Zan was dead and Yi Jing City was under his control, Yuan Shao was naturally in a good mood. At this moment, Zhao Fei came again.
He appeared in front of Yuan Shao, and his face was somewhat anxious.
