340. Under the dead city

In late autumn in Chengdu, the sun was stinging on the eaves of Chengjia Palace, with a little pale and a bit cold.

Gongsun Shu sat under the tree wearing a cotton royal robe, looking up at the sky.

Since the Han army besieged the city, Gongsun Shu has almost stopped wearing casual clothes and never left his body every day. He started dressing up as soon as he got up in the morning, asking the palace maids to take out the clothes they only wore on their usual formal occasions and wear them one piece on them.

Then he knelt down with a dignified expression, not knowing what he was thinking. Only when someone came, Gongsun Shu would come out of his own world and talk to the people he came.

He was a person who was harsh in dealing with others. Now his requirements for etiquette are stricter than usual. A little bit of roughness can make him furious. Three ministers have been punished for "losing etiquette in front of the emperor". A palace maid even looked up at him and was regarded as "infringing the enemy" by Gongsun Shu and was killed in court.

He has never been so arbitrary and said the same thing as he is now. Those ministers are afraid of meeting His Majesty the Emperor, for fear of accidentally angering him and causing trouble.

From the palace to the city, the air is very tight, there are few pedestrians on the street, shops are no longer open, Chengdu City has been closed for more than two months, and there are no goods available for circulation on the market.

A few days ago, because the captain Feng Xun surrendered to the Han army, the Feng family was abandoned by the clan. The blood on the streets had not yet dried up, and another general led his surrender to the enemy, so another killing began.

But killing did not strengthen the determination of the soldiers to defend the city, but it became increasingly dangerous for everyone. Now, except for Gongsun Yi, almost no one cares about the life and death of the family power, but everyone is thinking about their future and destiny. Everyone hopes to save their lives and escape in this great change.

Gongsun Shu felt that if this continues, he might soon become a lonely man. Instead of waiting for death, he might as well fight to the death. So he opened the treasury and offered a reward of heavy money to ask the people who dared to fight and die to fight to the death with the Han army.

After the reward quotation was suspended for a few days, he recruited more than 8,000 people. Gongsun Shu asked his younger brother Gongsun Guang to lead this suicide squad and be ready to go out of the city to fight desperately at any time.

But he did not have any exact combat plan, and the date of his battle was not determined, but depends on his divination results.

Gongsun Shu is now divining every day, divining lessons every day to measure good or bad luck. Of course, he must divine a good day for such a big thing as trying hard to leave the city.

For several days, he didn't get a good sign until early in the morning, he wrote four words: "The Lie Die Under the City."

Which one is the siege? Ma Yuan? Or Sun Yi? No matter who it is, Gongsun Shu will be happy to see them die.

This is a rare good sign, and you cannot waste such good days. So as soon as the divination ended, Gongsun Shu issued an order to leave the city and fight the enemy to a decisive battle.

Today he personally led the army and led 60,000 troops to attack the Ma reinforcements to the north. His younger brother Gongsun Hui led another army to resist Sun Yi's army to the south.

This was the last desperate attempt. Gongsun Shu lent all his capital. For him, he would either die or live with dignity. He was the emperor of the family and the noble master. He could never live back to a humble little person.

He was full of tragedy, with the momentum of a hero who never returned to him, and even put on the set of golden armor that had never been on his body. It was specially made for the emperor, and was decorated with countless gold pieces. The handmade was extremely exquisite and priceless.

This made him much more heroic than usual, his whole body was shining with light, which looked particularly dazzling in the crowd.

Looking at the vast army in front of him, Gongsun Shu felt that the army was invincible and would definitely achieve a complete victory today and expel the Han army from his territory.

"The enemy died at the city", God has already predicted that he is the emperor with twelve years of destiny, and he will never be able to return to silence like this.

Gongsun Shu rode his horse out of Chengdu City. Not far away from the opposite side, the Han army had gathered together and set up a formation by the river. The army continued to spread out, looking boundless, which hit Gongsun Shu's confidence a little, but he could not show it. He wanted to maintain the majesty of an emperor at all times and not show any cowardice in front of everyone.

At this moment, he suddenly discovered that there was a gap in the layers of golden armor on his shirt. It might be a fallen piece of gold, or it might be a greedy servant who secretly pulled it to exchange for money. In short, this flaw made his originally majestic armor not so perfect.

Gongsun Shu frowned and looked at his arm with disgust. This was an intolerable mistake. Why didn't he find it in advance? How many people did this armor pass through from the warehouse to his body? Who did it in it, so that he could wear such a defective armor on such an important occasion?

Gongsun Shu's anger slowly rose. He decided to kill all the people involved immediately after the battle ended, leaving no one behind, so that they could know the consequences of deceiving the Supreme.

He really wanted to go back and change his robe, but the war would not stop because of a piece of armor. The Han army had already begun to act, and the square formations were mobilizing, some were moving forward, and some were going to the flanks to prepare for encirclement.

The Cheng Family Army was waiting for Gongsun Shu to give the order, but he could only command this important battle in a flawed battle robe. What a disgusting thing!

But there are many bad things, such as before the war begins, a team of 5,000 troops have surrendered directly to the enemy!

Well, when he returns to the city, there is another thing to do, that is, kill the entire family of the enemy and make them pay the price for their betrayal!

Gongsun Shu finally issued an order to attack, and his army began to advance, marching on the vast plain like swarms of ants.

Gongsun Shu looked at everything in front of him with a sneer. They were the ants under his feet. Their lives were worthless. Sacrifice of their lives for the great emperor was their noblest destination.

He looked down at the dazzling cloak, and the discomfort in his heart lingered, but it didn't matter, he comforted himself that next time, next battle, he would be able to wear the most perfect new battle robe.

Gongsun Shu watched his huge army surge forward, and saw that they splashed like water when they met the Han army. He saw the fierce waves of the Han army rolling backwards, rushing to the unstoppable river tide, and his army was forced to join the tide. Everyone was in one direction, and the black crowd spread over and got closer and closer to him.

And around him, people began to flee, and no one remembered their emperor, the most noble man in the world, and the statue of the man in golden armor, stayed on the battlefield like a rock in the surging crowd, and everything flowed by his side.

Gongsun Shu looked at everything in front of him, raised his arm with defective armor, wanted to swing the knife out of his hand, and wanted to shout his soldiers to move forward, but his hand, which had not raised the sword for a long time, was so weak that he could not even hold the hilt. The knife fell from his hand, leaving only his hand in the air ridiculously.

At this time, an arrow suddenly appeared on his chest, and the long tail trembled under his nose, and the golden armor piece on his chest slowly appeared red. This was his blood, the blood of the most noble emperor. He Gongsun Shu would appear in history as a mighty and unyielding emperor who died bravely. Everything was so perfect except for the missing golden armor piece.

Gongsun Shu fell off the horse, and then his head was cut off. His priceless golden armor did not escape the disaster. All the golden armor pieces were exposed, revealing the bare inner body inside, losing all the glamor and beauty. The great emperor of the family was just a rotten body.
