Yuan Shao’s sudden parting of three roads in the 500 thousand army is very sudden
When Gongsun Zan, who was in Bohai County, learned the news, the three cities of Zhangwu Fuyang in Xiuxian County had fallen back into the hands of Yuan Shao.
A total of 60,000 soldiers in these three cities fled to Bohai County and Gongsun Zan City, and less than 10,000 soldiers were involved.
After taking the three cities of Fuyang in Zhangwu, Xiuxian County, Yan Liang Wen Chou Yi Jia Yuan Shao himself surrounded Bohai County.
Yuan Shao is obviously not going to let Gongsun Zan go this time. He wants Gongsun Zan to stay in Bohai forever.
Yuan Shao has Jizhou now. If Gongsun Zan is left in the Bohai Sea now, half of Youzhou is already his.
How could Yuan Shao give up such an opportunity?
Surrounded by five days, Gongsun Zan felt overwhelmed.
There is little hope that the enemy will break through the city on all sides.
But in just a few days, Gongsun Zan has swept away his heroic past, his eyes are bloodshot and his face is exhausted.
These days, he has hardly closed his eyes and killed the enemy in the city wall every day.
Although the city’s grain and grass can last for a month, the consumption of arrows and so on has been exhausted
"It’s not the way for Brother Gong Sun to keep going like this." Liu Bei accompanied Gongsun Zan on the wall.
Gongsun Zan looked at the army outside the city and said, "Good brother, what should you do?"
At this time, it is already noon, and Yuan Shao’s army has attacked all around the city wall for an early morning.
Just retreating, it won’t be long before a wave of attacks will come.
There are bodies everywhere in the city
Many soldiers have their backs against the city wall, or they sit or lie down almost without it.
Everyone’s face is not a trace of expression, and they are all in vain. This may be the last battle of their lives.
Wait, when the soldiers outside the city attack the city again, everyone here may die.
"Can it be a desperate raid in the dark tonight?" Liu Bei
"Ah …"
Gongsun Zan has no hope for breaking through.
Although Liu Bei was tired, he was not as worried as Gongsun Zan.
Gongsun Zan may be killed if the city breaks down or fails to break through, but Liu Bei feels that he may survive.
If he hadn’t died in the disorderly army, Liu Bei could have turned to Yuan Shao even if Gongsun Zan had defeated him.
It is very unlikely that Zhang Feihu, who has feathers, will die in the chaos.
However, Liu Bei didn’t want to take refuge in Yuan Shao until the last moment, and Liu Bei preferred to follow Gongsun Zan.
After all, they were all close to Lu Zhi’s protege.
Gongsun Zan also respects Liu Bei.
Liu Bei doesn’t know what position it will be to take refuge in Yuan Shao, but it will certainly not be more moist than in Gongsun Zan.
Gongsun Zan nodded and agreed with Liu Bei’s suggestion to continue to defend the hope of breaking through when the soldiers suffered more casualties and were more tired.
If you want to break through, you should break through as soon as possible.
Gongsun Zan missed the best opportunity to retreat because he could not bear to leave these cities. Now he is hesitant.
If I learned that Yuan Shao was advancing 500,000 troops before, Gongsun Zan would withdraw to Youzhou with his army.
The loss is only tens of thousands of soldiers. If the materials of these four cities in Bohai Sea are taken away, it may not be a loss.
