It is obvious that Yuan Shao was not ready to deal with the attack from Guo Peng.

His main force is still besieging Yi Jing.

During this period, the Youzhou United Army had basically eliminated Gongsun Zan's power in Youzhou. Gongsun Zan's cousin Gongsun Fan was defeated many times, and the soldiers were damaged and the generals were lost. He had retreated to Yijing and defected to Gongsun Zan.

Gongsun Zan's field troops were completely lost, and some of the remaining cities that were not lost also lost foreign aid, so they could only defend the city. Just like Yi Jing, they could not support each other in all aspects.

Some people suggested that Gongsun Zan lead elite troops out of the city to attack the weak Youzhou United Army, rescue those cities that were unwilling to surrender, and then gather the troops to counterattack, so there is still a possibility of something happening.

If you don’t make a decision, once the situation collapses, there will be no hope.

But Gongsun Zan did not seem to have the idea of ​​sending troops to fight.

He built Yi Jing higher and higher, the city walls thicker and the moat deeper. He felt that doing so would firmly defend Yi Jing and prevent Yuan Shao from attacking.

Because he didn't want to hear bad news again, he didn't even allow adult men to approach the castle where he lived, and allowed himself to live with his female relatives alone, and then train some loud voices to use to pass on the orders.

He alienated the generals, the guests, and the soldiers. The invincible general of the White Horse seemed to have died and no longer existed.

His soldiers gradually didn't know who they were fighting for and why they fought in such a desperate situation.

If Gongsun Zan had not obtained a lot of food from the military farming and the army had food to eat, Yi Jing would have collapsed.

Yuan Shao concentrated 20,000 troops to attack Yijing, and then transferred 10,000 troops to attack Yijing. Together with 20,000 Youzhou Joint Army, the troops increased to 50,000. He attacked Yijing for several days, causing Yijing to be in full swing and there was no day without fighting.

Gongsun Zan's soldiers gradually became exhausted and were extremely desperate to see the future war.

As time went by, the cities that had originally expected Gongsun Zan to come to rescue felt hopeless, and surrendered one after another, turned the guns and attacked Gongsun Zan.

Gongsun Zan betrayed his relatives and had no hope of winning again.

On the eve of Guo Peng's dispatch of troops, a mutiny broke out in Yi Jing. Although it was suppressed, it was enough to show that Gongsun Zan's prestige and dominance were no longer enough to make the soldiers work hard for him.

The soldiers no longer want to continue fighting in despair like this.

They can't see the future or the hope of victory, but the chance of survival is getting slim.

Can you continue to fight?

cannot!

They also had their own ideas and felt that they needed to find some way out for themselves, so they led to such a mutiny.

Although he was not successful, Queyi, who was commanding the army on the front line, already understood that Gongsun Zan was a rabbit's tail that could not grow.

So Queyi ordered the pace of fierce attacks to despair, causing more chaos. The Jizhou Army and Youzhou Joint Army united to siege Yijing from all sides, and the Yijing wall was in danger.

At this time, Yuan Shao came with some reinforcements, aggravated the despair of the soldiers in Yijing City.

Earlier, Yuan Shao received advice from his subordinates and suggested that Yuan Shao use tunnels to attack Yi Jing's tall and deep city walls. Yuan Shao adopted it and ordered the front line to do as it should.

After preparing for a while, the tunnel was dug up and was not discovered by Gongsun Zan.

The strategy Guo Peng and Lu Zhi used to deal with the Yellow Turban Army was used by Yuan Shao to deal with Gongsun Zan.

Ignite the fire, exit from the tunnel, wait for the wooden stakes to be burned, and wait for the city wall to collapse completely.

Then, the outer wall of Yijing collapsed.

It collapsed suddenly, without any warning.

A big gap was revealed, and the dawn of victory was right in front of me.

"Run in!!!"

Tuo Yi personally led his troops to attack, and the sound of war drums rang like crazy, and the final decisive battle began.

The messenger rushed to the fortress where Gongsun Zan was very anxiously, spreading the news of the fall of the outer city inward. The fortress defenders were all shocked and panicked.

Gongsun Zan soon learned about this and was shocked. He hurriedly asked the people around him if Guo Peng had sent reinforcements. The people around him replied that there was no. Gongsun Zan's face turned pale, and then scolded Guo Peng for not saving him when he saw him die.

Then Gongsun Zan asked him again that he had sent his son Gongsun Xu to ask for help from Zhang Yan's troops of the Heishan Army, but did Zhang Yan's troops come to rescue him?

The people around him replied that Zhang Yan seemed to have sent troops, but he had not arrived yet.

Gongsun Zan suddenly felt that everything was over. At the helplessness, he finally decided to leave the fort and fight for a life.

As a result, when he was tidying up and taking his family to fight out, he found it was too late.

All around were covered with Jizhou soldiers and Youzhou joint army, and Yijing was in a mess. The city he had worked hard to create, which was in line with his own domineering spirit, was so unbearable to guard, which made Gongsun Zan very puzzled.

Even though he was confused, he still worked very hard to lead the army to fight once.

As a result, when I heard that Gongsun Zan was here, more Yuan army and Youzhou joint troops rushed over to kill Gongsun Zan to gain wealth.

The famous White Horse General could not resist the heavy reward, and Gongsun Zan became an indicator of reward.

In the end, he really couldn't kill him, so Gongsun Zan could only lead people to retreat to his central fortress and trapped in the lonely fortress, and was completely disappointed.

Outside the Gu Fort, a large number of Jizhou soldiers and Youzhou coalition forces were attacking fiercely. In the Gu Fort, he was isolated and had no help, and there were not many soldiers around him.

The family members cried bitterly, as if they had expected their ending.

Gongsun Zan seemed to have expected his ending.

But even a few months ago, he didn't think so, and he didn't think he would die so quickly.

But that's the truth.

Gongsun Zan has no way out, and Yuan Shao will definitely kill him.

Since this is the case, Gongsun Zan cannot be humiliated.

Gongsun Zan gradually calmed down, held the knife in his hand tightly, and looked at the family behind him with murderous eyes.

Then raise the knife and kill.

All wives, concubines, young children, and maids were killed.

Some beg, some flee everywhere and are unwilling to die.

Faced with such a situation, Gongsun Zan was very annoyed and angrily scolded these families.

"Do you still want to be Yuan Shao's slaves and survive? Gongsun Bogui's family is not allowed to survive!!"

Gongsun Zan massacred all his family as if he had lost his mind. Finally, looking at his wife, whose face was covered with tears but did not shed tears, Gongsun Zan's hand couldn't help but tremble.

"I'm sorry, I will compensate you in the next life."

"Boggi, do we have a next life?"

Gongsun Zan was stunned. Shaoqing pursed his lips, forced himself to suppress his grief, then roared, stepped forward and stabbed his wife into her body, and used firm means to relieve her pain.

Finally, Gongsun Zan's side was followed by some old guards who had followed him since his rebellion.

They looked silently at Gongsun Zan's efforts to ensure their final dignity.

"If you want to surrender and escape, go and do one last thing for me before you go."

Gongsun Zan pointed to a pile of wood next to him: "I will never let Yuan Shao insult you. Before you escape, ignite the wood here for me."

My dear guards, look at me, and I look at you, silently helping Gongsun Zan prepare for the ignition, and then handed the torch to Gongsun Zan.

"Let's go, maybe you can escape and hide your name in the future. Don't say that you once followed me, so you may have a good end."

Gongsun Zan threw the torch on the firewood pile, and the firewood pile with grease quickly started to burn violently.

"General, I don't want to leave."

A personal guard spoke.

"I don't want to leave either."

"So too, I won't leave."

"Even if you leave, you can't escape death. General, I'm willing to follow the general until the end."

The guards said this, dozens of people stood behind him together and were unwilling to leave.

Gongsun Zan looked back at the old guards who had even forgotten their names, sighed deeply, and felt infinite regret in his heart, which he had never been before since he was besieged.

At the last moment of his life, Gongsun Zan finally began to reflect on what he did.

"What did Gongsun Bogui do in his life..."
