Chapter 388 A Greeting Letter
Gongsun Zan said in a deep voice, "What did you say in the letter?"
"Father, it's best for you...to see for yourself." Gongsun Xu took a deep breath and handed over the letter.
"Read!" Gongsun Zan was furious. His voice was resounding, and the sound echoed throughout the attic.
"Yes!" Gongsun Xu secretly gritted his teeth, opened the letter again, and read it softly:
"Fang Chenghou, former general Liu Heshu worshiped: Zhuo County is farewell, eight years later, time flies, like a white horse, the general's heroism and generosity in the past are still vivid in my memory. Now when I meet the generals, I thought I would meet my opponent, but unexpectedly retreated into the city If you dare not send troops, you will not be ashamed to be a general!
I think back to the time when the general repelled Hu Yusaibiao, with a heroic appearance.Clothed in flat cape, imperial chariot Rinan, commanding troops and horses, sweeping the frontier bandits, white horse righteously following, the prestige is still there, Xianbei heard the sound and dared not resist the offender, Wuhuan looked at the white and fled far beyond the Great Wall.
Now the general is flattening the Yellow Turban in Qingzhou, and eliminating the rebels in Hebei. At this moment, it is time to work together to help the Han Dynasty, but they are fighting for strength and fighting each other, causing chaos among themselves!A certain person wants to have a showdown with the general, the winner will go to Hebei to rule the world, and the loser will follow the king's order to conquer the Quartet. If they can join forces, the world will be determined.
Unexpectedly, the general's aspirations vanished, his glory disappeared, and he didn't want to put on a firm and persistent one. He fought against a certain man, but he built a building, guarded the heavy door, retreated inside, afraid of swords and arrows, and dared not fight decisively. , must be laughed at by the barbarians.What's the difference between this kind of timid behavior and the woman who hides from the secluded boudoir?
A certain woman sent plain clothes to the king today. If the general does not fight, he can kneel down and accept it. When he goes out of the camp, he will have a look at my three armies. A man will not fight with women. I will give Jinan to the general, so that the general can eat and drink. Yu, this life is mediocre until death.
If the general is still ashamed and has a manly mind, he doesn’t want his fame to go to waste, and half his life’s achievements are ridiculed by barbarians, I hope he can be approved as soon as possible, and he will go to the front of the battle as promised to decide who is male..."
"Shut up, shut up—"
Before Gongsun Zan finished reading the continuation, Gongsun Zan flew into a rage, with veins popping up on his forehead, rushed over from behind the table, snatched the letter, and tore it to pieces.
"Liu He, bullying too much, bullying too much!"
Gongsun Zan roared, his face contorted, he grabbed the brocade box and slammed it on the ground, scaring Gongsun Xu and Gongsun Yue to dodge quickly.
There was a click sound, and the brocade box was torn apart, and a bright red woman's dress fell out from it. It was actually an embroidered gown worn by a bride. The phoenix crown rolled to Gongsun Zan's feet, and the pendant on it trembled and shone brightly.
After Gongsun Yue read the letter and saw the woman's clothes, he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. He secretly scolded Liu He for being so vicious that he used the woman to humiliate Gongsun Zan. If this angered him, it might also hurt himself.
In his letters, Liu He not only ridiculed Gongsun Zan for being like a woman, but also pointed out that he would be ridiculed by the Xianbei and Wuhuan people for his behavior.
Gongsun Zan had been a soldier for half his life, and he had always been proud of deterring the barbarians outside the Great Wall, which was also his most proud achievement. When Liu He pointed it out, it undoubtedly referred to the pain in his heart, as if exposing the scales. Gongsun Zan was originally reserved and stubborn. Where can it be endured?
The father humiliated the son, and Gongsun continued to see Liu He joked that Gongsun Zan was like a woman and child. The mother-in-law and mother also had faces full of anger.
Gongsun Zan was so angry that his chest heaved and heaved, his teeth creaked, and he said through gritted teeth, "I want to build a city to defend myself and wait for the world to change. Liu He is too bullying, how can I let it go?"
Seeing that Gongsun Zan had the intention to send troops, Gongsun Xu clasped his fists and said, "Father, there are no soldiers inside and no reinforcements outside. It is better to fight to the death than stick to it. You can still keep your name alive. My son is willing to advance and retreat with father."
Gongsun Zan's eyes contracted for a while, and he felt a fire bursting out of his heart, which was burning fiercely. Thinking of the heroic galloping beyond the Great Wall in the past, his eyes gradually became clear and firm.
Lifting his leg, he stomped the phoenix crown on the ground flat, turned it around a few times, and growled: "Send a general order—to raise the account!"
"Obey!" Gongsun Xu took the order, and pulled Gongsun, who was still in a daze, to exit the attic more quickly.
When they got downstairs, they immediately sent orders to the soldiers not to build the city anymore, and asked the civilians to disperse, and the whole army prepared their armor, and immediately practiced and fought.
dong dong dong-
The sound of thundering drums sounded in Jinan City, and the soldiers and civilians in the city became tense instantly. The soldiers of each battalion were startled when they heard the order, and then hurried to the camp. It had been a long time since they had gathered for training, and the sound was strange.
It took an incense stick of time for the generals to gradually expire. At this time, Guan Jing's whereabouts were unknown, Zou Dan was captured, and Wen Ze and Fan Fang died in battle. In fact, there were not many generals anymore, and they were all temporarily promoted captains.
Looking at the scattered generals, most of the enthusiasm in Gongsun Xu's heart just now was extinguished. Now, except for Gongsun Ji who is guarding the city, he can't come up with a decent general to command the army.
A moment later, Gongsun Zan walked into the lobby in a full body drape, with a thin face with high cheekbones, blue eyes around his eyes, and a gloomy face that was about to drip.
Standing there and scanning the generals, he found that half of them could not be called by name, so he gritted his teeth and sat on the commander-in-chief with his fists clenched.
"Everyone—" Taking a deep breath, Gongsun Zan said slowly, "I wanted to build a city to preserve my strength, but Liu He deceived others too much, pressing every step of the way, and the army is about to approach the city. Life and death are at stake. Only a decisive battle, you guys dare to fight This will fight?"
Gongsun Ji clasped his fists and said, "General, the soldiers in the city have been waiting for a long time to go to battle. We will follow the general to conquer the north and south, conquer the Great Wall, and smash Zhang Ju. Why are we afraid of Liu He? Even if we die, we will never be afraid to fight!"
The rest of the generals also clasped their fists to fight. Since Gongsun Zan built a building to defend himself and stay away from the soldiers, the soldiers were so rebellious that many of them took the opportunity to escape. Most of the soldiers left now are the old subordinates who followed Gongsun Zan in the early years. Still have confidence.
"Very good!" Gongsun Zan nodded and said, "I have made up my mind. In three days' time, I will fight Liu He to the death. Everyone, hurry up and train your troops, so there will be no mistakes!"
"Obey!" The generals looked excited, not only did not show any panic, but they were gearing up.
Although everyone knows that Liu He is strong and strong, these people are all veterans who have been fighting with Gongsun Zan outside the Great Wall all year round. Such a wimp did not dare to fight.
Gongsun Zan looked at Gongsun Yue again, and said, "Someone has accepted Liu He's war letter, and he's deceiving people too much. He doesn't bother to answer the letter. He only has one message. Please trouble me to go to Pingyuan again, saying that Jishui will be released in three days." Let's fight!"
Gongsun Yuezheng was worried, worried that Gongsun Zan would take his anger out on him, but at this moment he was relieved to hear that he had been sent an errand, and clasped his fists and said, "Obey!"
After Gongsun Yue left, Gongsun Zan personally inspected the battalions and led Baima Yicong to gallop to review. The sound of drums in Jinan City was loud again, dust was flying, and the soldiers shouted endlessly, and the morale of the three armies was greatly boosted.
