The position of the commander of the Imperial Guard is not a big one, let alone being ranked among the Three Dukes. Even the official position of any feudal official in the world is higher than it.
However, anyone who is the commander of the Imperial Guard is the most trusted confidant of the current emperor.
Going forward, the last person who was appointed to the position of commander of the Imperial Guard was named Guo Si.
I don’t know what kind of agreement Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei reached before, so that Gongsun Zan has always held this position. It is probably to reassure him and to put his mind at ease.
After all, if we call them elite, no one is more suitable for the role of the Imperial Guard than these white-horse followers.
What Gongsun Zan had in mind was very simple. He held more than 10,000 white-horse followers. Not to mention leading his army to charge out. If he was given a suitable battlefield, it would not be impossible for these 10,000 people to completely annihilate the enemy.
He is very familiar with the combat power of Baima Yicong, and he also has an estimate of the local combat capabilities. It is not a fantasy to have such an idea.
However, his mind was not on this moment and place after all. Whether he was in Youzhou or Zhuozhou, he always thought about the ownership of the chair in Luoyang.
This chair does not need to be named Gongsun. He has never even thought about opening up the merits of the Gongsun family for all generations. It is not that he has not thought about it, but he clearly knows that being an emperor is far inferior to being a man with military power. The dashing prince comes with ease.
But even if the chair's surname is Liu, it cannot belong to the young man who lives in Luoyang City. The so-called supporter of the Han Dynasty must be the hero recognized by Gongsun Zan!
With all these thoughts in his mind, he had already arrived in a hurry outside the barracks where the Imperial Guards were stationed in the imperial city.
These are his absolutely loyal soldiers. Even if they are allowed to rebel, these people will not say a word "no". Not only that, Baima Yicong's subordinates have tried to persuade him to ascend the throne many times before, but he refused. Well, one can imagine the loyalty of these subordinates.
From this point of view, Gongsun Zan had to thank the guy named Qi Zhen. It was precisely because of his existence that he would embark on this path that he had never imagined before.
Pushing open the door of the barracks in front of him, Gongsun Zan looked a little solemn.
It wasn't that he saw too many bloody scenes, but that it was too quiet in the barracks.
The original arrangement for the uprising was not his impromptu idea. He went to see Liu Bei this time just to get an answer to make him give up. Regardless of whether Liu Bei agreed to break out with him or not, Baima Yi here should be on standby from now on, waiting for him at any time. Come.
There is a square used for martial arts performances in the center of the huge courtyard. The size is about the same as a modern football field. Weapon racks used for training are densely placed around the courtyard, including swords, guns, swords and halberds.
Most of the surrounding rooms are where Baima Yicong rests, and there may also be rooms for kitchens and bathrooms. At this time, all the doors are closed, and it is even quieter, and you can hear a pin drop.
In the center of the courtyard, Qi Zhen was standing there, seemingly waiting for him for a long time.
"General Gongsun, it's been several years since we saw each other outside Luoyang City. You're well." Qi Zhen cupped her fists and raised her hands, and said loudly.
"I didn't expect you to be waiting for me here." Gongsun Zan's face was still solemn, but he was not afraid at all. He walked step by step to stand opposite Qi Zhen and said.
"We all agree that heroes like Mr. Gongsun should have your dignity." Qi Zhen said.
"Decent? How to be decent?" Gongsun Zan looked at Qi Zhen, his eyes shining brightly.
"The two armies are fighting in front of the battle formation. Naturally, the general will win, and the winner takes all." Qi Zhen said.
Although Gongsun Zan may not necessarily understand the meaning of winner-take-all, it is not difficult to understand what Qi Zhen means. He pondered for a moment and said, "What if I refuse?"
"Don't get me wrong, the so-called dignity means that if you win this battle, you can only ensure that you escape unscathed and no one else is involved. If you refuse..." Qi Zhen took out the sand eagle and pointed it at the weapon beside him. Several shots were fired in succession.
Bang bang bang bang...
Seven rounds of bullets were fired in an instant, and the innocent weapons rack was instantly turned into fragments under the power of the bullets, looking extremely miserable.
Gongsun Zan's expression turned stern and he said in a cold voice, "What if I give up resistance?"
"That's the best thing, but we all agree that you are not the kind of hero who gives up easily, so I appear here." Qi Zhen said with a smile.
Gongsun Zan thought for a while, nodded in agreement with Qi Zhen's statement, and then said, "My weapons are here."
Qi Zhen pointed to an inconspicuous weapons rack in the distance: "Your weapons are over there, I haven't touched them."
"You want to fight me?" Gongsun Zan asked.
Qi Zhen shook her head.
Now he has no confidence that he can defeat this BOSS, and he doesn't want to take his own life for granted.
"Are you kidding me?" Gongsun Zan had a stern expression.
Qi Zhen shook her head again and hooked her hands behind her.
The door of the room behind him opened in response, and a dark and thin young man walked out of it. Who else could it be if it wasn't Zhaka?
"You may not know him, but it doesn't matter, he can fight on our behalf." Qi Zhen said.
To this day, Gongsun Zan naturally knows very well that Qi Zhen and others cannot be judged by common sense, and naturally he will not underestimate Zhaka's thin body.
He nodded, turned and walked towards the direction pointed by Qi Zhen to get his weapon.
Gongsun Zan's weapon is a big spear.
The so-called hook is made of hardwood and is divided into two parts: the handle and the head. The handle is usually six feet long. The heads are in the shape of a round hammer, and some have a number of iron nails on their heads. Some are equipped with a spear at the end of the handle. Its main techniques include splitting, blocking, intercepting, blocking, teasing, rushing, belting, and picking, etc.
Because of its length, the large spear is generally used by infantry to charge against cavalry. The iron nails on the head of the spear often cause great trouble to the cavalry, especially the light cavalry.
Gongsun Zan's big weapon has always been left in the Baima Yicong camp. The purpose is naturally so that he can use it at will. After all, it is impossible to carry a two-meter-long weapon to the palace. It would be too dishonorable. .
Qi Zhen had weighed this weapon with her own hands before, so she naturally understood that this weapon was also an epic weapon, and it was definitely not as black and ordinary as it looked.
There is almost no description of Gongsun Zan's weapons in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". There is only one sentence: "During the discussion, Lu Bu again led his troops to fight. All the eight princes came out. Gongsun Zan wielded his spear and fought Lu Bu personally."
Since Lu Bu is the unit of measurement for the combat power of generals during the Three Kingdoms period, Gongsun Zan's big spear is by no means as simple as it seems.
Gongsun Zan stood in front of Qi Zhen and Zhaka with his weapon in hand. He punched the ground with his tail and let out a soft buzzing sound.
Qi Zhen's face finally became serious, and she sent a message to Zaka's mind: "Are you sure?"
Zhaka shook his head.
"Let's fight and see if it doesn't work. Let's pile him up together and kill him." Qi Zhen said again.
Xhaka glanced sideways at Qi Zhen and thought to himself, weren't you just very righteous and awe-inspiring when you challenged someone to a one-on-one fight?
Qi Zhenxin said that it was enough for me to watch from the side and not take any black shots. How could you really let Zaka rush forward and risk his life with the enemy?
When it comes to things like ruthlessness and evil intentions, except for Xhaka, every one of them in the team is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
"If you win against him, I promise you a peaceful life." Qi Zhen said.
"No need to say more, let's take action." Gongsun Zan said coldly.
Qi Zhen walked back to the room where Zaka had just come out, leaving the two of them standing facing each other in the center of the square.
At this time, there were white horse Yicong lying around in the room, and they all seemed to be asleep. The only one standing among them was Liang Sicheng.
"You said Lin Zhu asked us to drag Gongsun Zan here. Why?" Liang Sicheng asked softly.
"Why don't you ask him." Qi Zhen rolled her eyes at him.
Liang Sicheng gnawed his nails, shook his head and said, "Never mind, I don't like to use my brain less and less now. If you have anything to do, you two can go."
Then Liang Sicheng made a sad face and continued: "We have killed so many people again, and it will still be on our heads in the end."
Qi Zhen ruffled his hair: "Don't think so much. If Gongsun Zan really rushes out with a white horse like this, there will be extra trouble, and more people will die outside?"
"The trolley problem, the trolley problem." Liang Sicheng wailed.
"Just concentrate on watching them fight. If anything happens, we can go out and talk about it." Qi Zhen consoled her.
Yes, the reason why the three of Qi Zhen appeared here, or the reason why the team appeared in the "Imperial City", was naturally the result of a few people's agreement.
In fact, as early as when the cannon blasted open the city wall, the five members of the team sneaked in. The fact that there were no people living in the city and no troops stationed in the city had already been discovered by the team.
However, I don't know if a few people came too quietly. The system did not choose to increase the difficulty to deal with the arrival of a few people, and thus let a few people sneak into the imperial city intentionally or unintentionally.
Next, Qi Zhen, Liang Sicheng, and Zhaka were ordered by Lin Biao to clear the defensive forces in the imperial city, and find ways to delay or even kill Gongsun Zan.
When they arrived at the military camp where Baima Yicong was located, all the enemies fell into unconsciousness quietly relying on Zaka's ability to spread the poison. This kind of active spread was faster than passive infection, and they were almost indiscriminately infected by the virus. , and then corresponding symptoms appeared.
This virus is not uncommon in modern society. It is called mumps virus. It has a low fatality rate, but it can induce encephalitis and make patients drowsy.
Just like what Qi Zhen and Gongsun Zan said, Gongsun Zan must not be reconciled to such a failure and choose to give up, so he will definitely come here to find his own troops, and then try to have a final decisive battle with the enemy.
Then they can just sit back and wait here.
As for why the famous saying dragged Gongsun Zan here or even killed him, according to Qi Zhen's understanding, it was probably because he didn't want to distract him. Who knows what kind of chemical reaction he would have with Liu Bei or Zhuge Liang?
Divide and conquer is the better option.
