Seeing the opponent slowly marching halfway, Xi Zhong ordered the arrows to be fired almost out of instinct... Under the random arrows, the Wuhuan leader and several of his subordinates, who were like living targets, immediately fell into the same position as the two before.

From the same fate. After all, whether it is an arrow or a river, it is impossible to treat them differently just because they are Wuhuan people and Han people.

However, the leader of Wuhuan in Hexi was not anxious or angry, but still smiled broadly.

But the drama loyalists in Hedong are already desperate... You know, according to the sound plan designed by Lou Gui, there will never be any repetition, but now because of his political considerations, the adventurous action has occurred like this.

The situation...if Gongsun Xun hadn't been by his side, he would have almost wanted to commit suicide immediately to apologize!

What can be done?

It seems that forcing the crossing is out of the question, but if we turn around and go back, not to mention the Wuhuan pursuers behind us, how many people will be left to guard the ford if we leave?

If there are too few left, the opponent's cavalry can force the crossing with more than a thousand people, and they can charge head-on; if too many are left, who will guarantee Gongsun Xun's safety? To put it bluntly, Gongsun Xun's life will be safe even if he falls into the hands of the Wuhuan people.

But what should you do if you encounter some barbarians while riding alone?

And what if you get away temporarily?

Once the whereabouts are exposed, the other party knows the approximate location and just follow the upstream and downstream to block the crossing point.

As for waiting, this is even seeking death. On the chaotic battlefield, the Wuhuan people have the absolute advantage in strength. If they delay, they will only wait for the opponent's large troops.

Xi Zhicai's despair became more and more intense.

However, at the same time, Gongsun Xun, who was standing on horseback on one side, did not have any extreme emotions such as despair or anger, but felt an inexplicable fatigue.

Yes, it was exhaustion, because this General Wei could almost imagine his own fate.

First of all, they are captured...or the Wuhuan people don't even dare to say "captured". They will definitely respectfully 'invite' General Wei to Liucheng as a 'guest', and even Tadun will kowtow when he sees him.

, Qiu Liju will definitely serve him respectfully. After all, he, Gongsun Xun, is the only son of Lady Gongsun, the only son-in-law of General Zhao Bao, the right general, the recognized actual leader of the Gongsun family in western Liaoning, and the general of the imperial court!

It is also a life-saving straw in a sense for Wuhuan in western Liaoning!

Therefore, it is completely conceivable that no one in the entire Youzhou will give up on him. Liu Yu, the only one who theoretically has the risk of a complete break, is the least likely person to do such a thing, so the deal will be concluded quickly.

But what's the cost?

It doesn't matter if you lose the aura of victory in every battle, who hasn't lost a battle yet? Losing a little money is not worth mentioning.

But after this incident, how many years and months will it take for the rebellion of the Wuhuan people to be resolved? Liu Yu's prestige and power in Youzhou will definitely increase, right? Will Gongsun Xun no longer have the political advantage to face this person?

Correspondingly, my mother would probably have to make major concessions to her father-in-law in Liaodong. Whether Liaodong's surname was Gongsun or Zhao would probably be a confusing matter.

Of course, Gongsun Xun's foundation is here, and he must still have influence and military advantages... But it is inevitable that he will be controlled by Liu Yu and Zhao Bao. The Luoyang chaos that has already begun will be great for him to challenge Dong's general trend.

Loss of influence.

And if this is the case, what is the difference between General Wei and Gongsun Zan in another time and space?

Does this count as ten years of hard work, and was once corrected to the original point by history?

Then, like Gongsun Zan in another time and space, will he be betrayed by his relatives and burn himself on fire? Even if not, will he still have to flee to Liaodong and rely on his father-in-law's breath to survive?

Of course, maybe the reality will not be so pessimistic, but this feeling of powerlessness after all the hard work is really tiring.

If... if there is such a power in the dark, controlling the direction of history, no matter how hard I work, I can only replace someone else, then what is the meaning of my hard work and my existence?

Gongsun Xun couldn't help but think wildly. Once upon a time, his mother's joke about the return of the world line in his letter seemed to have been shattered by his own achievements. It seemed that he was already fighting against Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Jian, etc.

People's chatter and laughter were forgotten... But starting from Xu You's arrival last year, and finally to the beginning of the troubled times, everything seemed to have returned to a strange yet familiar line.

Is this a test or a joke?

Is Cao Sunliu really the son of destiny? Are his ambitions and selfishness all vain?

Gongsun Xun raised his head and looked at the sky with drizzle, and was lost for a moment.

And just when the drizzle above the head was still falling like cow hair, slowly moistening the green fields in western Liaoning, suddenly, something strange happened on the other side of the river.

"Is it reinforcements?" The desperate actor was inexplicably surprised.

However, as the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment - this is indeed a reinforcement. It is obviously a group of Han knights who lost their way at night and successfully crossed the river from another place in the north. However, there are only a dozen people.

When Gongsun Xun was trapped in Hedong, he unexpectedly charged to the death regardless of the huge disparity in strength and the lack of men and horses.

Obviously, the commotion among the Wuhuan troops on the other side was not due to the appearance of these people, but because they were surprised by their courage.

"Why is this so?" The Wuhuan general on the west side of the river sighed, and then called another small leader. "You lead twenty Wuhuan warriors to have a fair fight! It also allows the general on the other side to see what we are doing.

Has the Wuhuan people's martial prowess deteriorated? Send the order, the whole army is not allowed to fire arrows without authorization, and we must let General Gongsun know our sincerity."

——————I am the dividing line of sincerity——————

"Winning or losing is an ordinary matter for military strategists. In the past, Emperor Wu's superb martial arts also once died in Danhan Mountain and was trapped in the Daling River... Therefore, it is said that the power of mountains and rivers is solid, and the soldiers and armor are unpredictable, so there is no way to decide.
