    After Yuan Shao occupied Jizhou, he did not give half of it to Gongsun Zan as agreed, and the two developed a hatred.

    Before sending troops, Gongsun Yue said: "My lord, let me send an envoy to Jizhou. If Yuan Shao still disagrees, send troops to attack him."

    Gongsun Zan agreed.

    Gongsun Yue soon saw Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao snorted and said, "Who do you think you are? Do you dare to negotiate terms with me? Let Gongsun Zan do it by himself!"

    Being so humiliated, Gongsun Yue would definitely not be able to stay and bid farewell to Yuan Shao.

    On the way, an ambush suddenly appeared. A general rushed out and said: "Hahaha, I am Dong Zhuo's general, and I will kill you today!"

    Gongsun was more frightened and was eventually shot to death by random arrows.

    However, Gongsun Yue¡¯s entourage escaped with their lives and told Gongsun Zan what happened.

    ??Cao Ni Ma, Dong Zhuo¡¯s home will appear in Jizhou?  It's obviously Yuan Shao's men pretending to be it!

    Gongsun Zan was very regretful. He should not have taken chances and sent Gongsun Yue as an envoy.

    Now, Yuan Shao deceived him and did not give him land, which is the first crime; Yuan Shao killed Gongsun Yue, which is the second crime.

    What reason did Gongsun Zan have for not attacking Yuan Shao?

    So, after the beginning of spring, all the Youzhou frontier troops, a total of 100,000 troops, attacked Yuan Shao.

    Yuan Shao knew that Gongsun Zan would come and was not surprised, so he raised 150,000 troops to confront Gongsun Zan on both sides of the Pan River.

    Gongsun Zan is in the west and Yuan Shao is in the east.

    Although Gongsun Zan has relatively few men and horses, the Youzhou cavalry are very elite.  Especially for the white horse Yi Cong, it is not a problem to fight one against two. If it is against the infantry, it can be doubled.

    When the two heads met across the river, Gongsun Zan cursed:

    "Yuan Benchu, I didn't expect you to be a treacherous person. Why did you betray me?"

    Yuan Shao, however, did not panic and replied: "Han Fu is not as talented as me, but he is willing to hand over Jizhou to me to govern. What does it have to do with you?"

    I have to say that Yuan Shao's words are very reasonable, because Gongsun Zan did not attack the city of Jizhou at that time, but he just started to attack, and Han Fu was so frightened that he handed over his power.

    Gongsun Zan ignored it and took out Yuan Shao's letter and read it aloud in front of everyone. Yuan Shao's cheeks felt burning.

    "I originally thought that you, who came from a family of four generations and three princes, would stick to your promise and the anti-Dong alliance would elect you as the leader. However, you betrayed your promise in the blink of an eye. People like you might as well be dead!"

    Yuan Shao was so angry that he vomited blood and shouted angrily: "You actually forged documents and slandered me!"

    Who doesn¡¯t have a bad temper when provoked again and again?

    "Whoever goes out to fight and capture and kill Gongsun Zan will be rewarded with ten thousand gold!" Yuan Shao made a blood test.

    Is there such a good thing?

    Wen Chou immediately rode his horse, drew his gun, and rushed across the wooden bridge.

    Well done!

    Gongsun Zan was originally a military commander and was planning to establish his authority.

    But he kept his mind in mind and only fought at the bridge.

    After fighting Wen Chou for a few rounds, Gongsun Zan realized that he was no match for him.

    Isn¡¯t this so embarrassing?

    With his life at stake, Gongsun Zan fled on horseback regardless of his face.

    Can the ten thousand gold in hand still fly?

    Wen Chou pursued Gongsun Zan hard, and suddenly shot out a spear, knocking off Gongsun Zan's helmet.

    Gongsun Zan used his superb riding skills to avoid critical points and escaped to heaven with disheveled hair.

    It happened that at this time, four generals from Gongsun Zan's army came out and forced Wen Chou back.

    The next day, Gongsun Zan no longer engaged in single combat. The army lined up, mainly composed of 30,000 white horse loyal followers, to fight Yuan Shao decisively.

    "Baima Yicong is famous all over the world, wouldn't it be easy to defeat Yuan Shao?"

    However, Yuan Shao looked confident.

    He ordered Yan Liang, Wen Chou and others to command 5,000 crossbowmen each, and Qu Yi commanded 10,000 crossbowmen and 40,000 infantry in the center.

    Yuan Shao personally led an army of 100,000 to suppress the formation.

    Suddenly, drums sounded loudly, and Gongsun Zan¡¯s army took the lead in attacking!

    Yan Gang led the white horse soldiers to swarm out, as if they were about to break through the sky.

    When Baima Yicong approached, Qu Yi ordered the shield soldiers to retreat, revealing countless formidable crossbowmen.

    Suddenly, thousands of arrows were fired.

    Yan Liang, Wen Chou and Yan Liang attacked at the same time. Yan Gang only felt that bows and arrows were coming from all directions.

    But how can a cavalry charge be carried out behind the scenes?What about?

    We could only bite the bullet, but sadly found that out of the 30,000 white-horse followers, only a few thousand could get close to Yuan Shaojun.

    The pikemen thrust forward, countless people pressed on, and the world-famous White Horse Yi Cong was completely lost.

    Qu Yi even chopped off Yan Gang's head with a knife, and blood splashed to the ground.

    Yuan Shao seized the opportunity and launched a general attack, killing Gongsun Zan until he cried like a ghost and howled like a wolf.

    "General White Horse, that's all, haha!"

    After setting the flag, Yuan Shao regretted it and killed a troop of troops behind him.

    It is Liu Bei, the forbearing little prince.

    Although Liu Bei only had 5,000 troops, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were very effective in fighting, so they rushed towards Yuan Shao.

    Yuan Shao was horrified. Now that Yan Liang, Wen Chou and Yan Liang are fighting on the front line, there are no strong generals around them. What can they do to resist?

    We can only continue to use human lives to fill it.

    Just when Yuan Shaojun was killed and his courage was broken, Yan Liangwen Chou led his army back and beat Liu Bei so hard that he couldn't hold his head up.

    The two armies fought in melee for a long time, and Gongsun Zan's army, which was no longer restrained by Yan Liang and Wen Chou, showed great power and defeated Yuan Shao.

    Yuan Shao took advantage of the darkness to withdraw his troops.

    Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei joined forces and did not dare to fight due to insufficient strength.

    Yuan Shao held on to the camp and did not go out to fight, so it was delayed for a month.

    When news of this incident reached Chang'an, Li Ru suggested that Dong Zhuo increase his presence and ordered Gongsun Zan to negotiate peace with Yuan Shao. Dong Zhuo agreed to the matter.

    When the imperial edict came, they both breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

    If it weren¡¯t for the sake of face, they would have withdrawn their troops long ago, why bother waiting until now.

    At the same time, the two wrote a letter of thanks to Dong Zhuo, which made Dong Zhuo feel flattered. This peacemaker was well worth it.

    In this way, Gongsun Zan returned to Youzhou happily.

    "However, Liu Bei is the Prime Minister of Pingyuan. How can he hide in Yuan Shao's territory?"

    We can only take one step at a time.

    During the battle between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan, something else happened.

    Liu Dai, the herdsman of Yanzhou, is all allies with Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan. If the two allies fight, he will definitely choose one side.

    In order to win Liu Dai¡¯s trust, Yuan Shao even put his wife and children as hostages in Yanzhou.  Later, Gongsun Zan defeated Yuan Shao and sent an envoy to tell Liu Dai to send back Yuan Shao's wife and sever ties with Yuan Shaoen.

    But your Gongsun Zan is far away in Youzhou, and Yuan Shao is right in front of you!

    Cheng Yu suggested Liu Dai to help Yuan Shao, and Liu Dai listened to him.

    Now, Liu Bei's situation is getting worse.

    The threats from Yuan Shao and Liu Dai made Liu Bei sleepless and uneasy.

    What is even more hateful is that Yuan Shao sends troops from time to time to show off his power.

    Liu Bei's disciple Jian Yong suggested: "My lord, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time. Besides, the plain is just a small place and cannot achieve great things."

    Although Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are not afraid of fighting, they only have five thousand soldiers and horses, and the enemy has two to three hundred thousand in total. How can they fight?

    They are also scared.

    "I heard that Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian is a kind man and will definitely accept my lord's surrender!" Jian Yong said again.

    Liu Bei no longer hesitated and decided to go to Xuzhou.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
