In ancient times, the land of China was turbulent, heroes were born, and stories were as brilliant as stars. Gongsun Zhan, the fierce general of Youzhou, his life is like a drama of ups and downs, which is breathtaking.
In the centuries B.C., a young man in his prime, Gongsun Zhan, broke into people's field of vision. His face was handsome and his voice was loud, as if he was destined to be the center of attention. The goddess of luck was particularly fond of him, allowing him to meet the great currents of the times. The young Gongsun Zhan, under Liu Qi's appreciation, formed a deep friendship with Liu Bei and others.
In the blink of an eye, time passed like a white horse, and Gongsun Chan became a civil "book history". An unexpected encounter made him show his extraordinary military talent, which made the Xianbei people fearful. During the Guanghe period, he was promoted to the commander of the 3,000 elite cavalry, led the "White Horse Righteous Servant", pacified the rebel general Zhang Chun, and the king of Karasuma was greedy and surrendered to him, and Gongsun Zhan's reputation reached its peak.
However, the good times were short-lived. The aggression of the Karasuma leader, Qiu Liju, made Gongsun Chan feel unprecedented pressure. The imperial court sent Liu Yu to replace Youzhou Mu, a move that undoubtedly put a question mark on Gongsun Zhan's career. Liu Yu, a nobleman of the Han Dynasty, quickly won the respect of the people of Youzhou with his noble moral and political skills. His arrival made the entire Youzhou look new, but it also inadvertently aroused Gongsun Zhan's disgust.
Brother Gongsun, do you know that Liu Yu is trying to weaken our power. A cronie whispered in Gongsun Zhan's ear. Gongsun Zhan's brows tightened, he already felt the threat of Liu Yu.
Just when they were at an impasse, Dong Zhuo deposed Liu Wei and made Liu Xie emperor, and the whole world was shaken. Yuan Shao organized a coalition of princes with the intention of crusading against Dong Zhuo. Although Gongsun Chan held the power of the army, he was unable to send troops due to Liu Yu's influence. Yuan Shao's proposal made Liu Yu hesitate, and finally he decided to be loyal to the Han family and refused to be emperor.
And Gongsun Chan chose to betray at this time. He secretly colluded with Yuan Shu with the intention of rebelling against Liu Yu. The conflict was on the verge of breaking out, and the contradiction between Liu Yu and Gongsun Zhan intensified. Liu Yu once gathered an army of 100,000 and besieged Gongsun Zhan. However, with the strength of the elite cavalry, Gongsun Chan successfully broke through and turned defeat into victory.
Before the joy of victory faded, Gongsun Chan began his crazy pursuit of power. He was appointed as an official and appointed his subordinates Yan Gang as the pastor of Jizhou and Tian Kai as the pastor of Qingzhou, but at the same time he also began to brutally oppress the people. He didn't pay attention to the aristocracy and wealth, and his ** and brutality made his reputation plummet and lost people's hearts.
Yuan Shao seized the opportunity and united with the Karasuma Xianbei tribe to launch an attack on Gongsun Zhan. Gongsun Chan's army suffered a crushing defeat in a major battle and lost confidence. He retreated to Yijing, built strong fortifications, and closed himself off. However, Yuan Shao did not let him go. In the fourth year of Jian'an (199), Yuan Shao's army surrounded Yijing again, adopted the tactics of ambush and digging tunnels, and captured Yijing.
Gongsun Zhan, in despair, ignited the central building, chose the best way, and ended his life. His story, like a tragedy, shows the rise and fall of a hero. His life is like a dream, leaving infinite thoughts and emotions for future generations.
