At this time, it was already dawn...

After Gongsun Zan returned to where his troops were, he immediately heard bad news that he absolutely did not want to hear.

Last night, it was a trivial matter that hundreds of people froze to death. The most important thing is that there were deserters!

Although these deserters have been killed by his white-horse followers, this is still not good news for Gongsun Zan!

"Immediately convey my order and tell the soldiers to persist. By tomorrow morning, no matter whether the thieves from Sishui Pass come out or not, we will no longer ambush!"

The messenger immediately went to convey Gongsun Zan's order after hearing the words...

Liu Bei also began to arrange various means to lure the people of Sishui Pass and fight their way out of Sishui Pass.

However, what makes people feel uncomfortable is that there is still no movement at Sishui Pass!

The temperature is still the same as before, with no sign of warming at all.

The day time passed quickly and it was night time.

Liu Bei, some of Liu Bei's soldiers, as well as Gongsun Zan in the rear, and Gongsun Zan's soldiers, all looked forward to it in the cold night.

Time passed little by little, and the night became darker and darker. There was still no movement at Sishui Pass...

…

Gongsun Zan's eyes were red, not just because Gongsun Zan had stayed up all night due to lack of sleep.

It's not just because until now, there hasn't been much movement at Sishui Pass, and no one has gone out.

More importantly, at night, soldiers tried to escape again!

There are more people fleeing than in the morning!

This made Gongsun Zan extremely depressed and angry!

I have given a clear order. As long as tonight is over, no matter what the outcome is, I will not continue to ambush. However, these thieves chose to escape at this time!

Just thinking about this matter makes Gongsun Zan feel particularly angry!

Therefore, none of the soldiers who tried to escape survived. They were all killed under Gongsun Zan's personal order.

Even a few of them were done by Gongsun Zan himself!

While Gongsun Zan was waiting with red eyes, many of Gongsun Zan's soldiers failed to survive and died in the long cold night...

"Brother, it's getting close to dawn, and there's been no movement up front yet. Why don't we notify the troops right now and ask the soldiers to get out of the encirclement quickly and light a fire to keep warm."

A general who was much younger than Gongsun Zan came over and asked Gongsun Zan for instructions.

His relationship with Gongsun Zan was exposed as soon as he opened his mouth.

This man was also from Lingzhi in western Liaoning. His surname was Gongsun and his given name was Yue. He was the younger brother of Gongsun Zan.

"Ah Yue, please wait a little longer. We have been waiting for such a long time, and it is not too late."

Gongsun Zan opened his mouth to speak, but his voice seemed hoarse perhaps because he had not spoken for a long time.

When Gongsun Yue heard this, he didn't say anything anymore. Instead, he took out a kettle from his arms and handed it to Gongsun Zan.

"Brother, drink some water to moisten your throat. I put it in my arms and muffled it."

In the darkness, Gongsun Zan, whose nerves were tense, felt warm in his heart when he heard this, and his spirit could not help but relax.

He reached out and took the still warm kettle handed over by Gongsun Yue. After pulling it out, he brought it to his mouth and took a few sips, then handed it back to Gongsun Yue.

He reached out and patted Gongsun Yue on the shoulder: "Ah Yue, please go back to your post. Brother, I am sure of it."

Gongsun Yue nodded, said no more, turned around and headed towards where he was before...

Generally speaking, the coldest time of the day is not late at night, but at dawn before the sun has risen.

Feeling the tranquility and coldness of this early morning, Gongsun Zan's face turned livid, and his whole body was trembling slightly.

"Lord, it's already dawn. Don't wait any longer. If you wait any longer, I'm afraid you will lose your military morale!"

A man came over and reported to Gongsun Zan.

This person is Guan Jing, Gongsun Zan's most trusted advisor.

However, at this time, facing his most trusted advisor, Gongsun Zan did not speak, but looked straight in the direction of Sishui Pass.

Although standing here, he could not see Sishui Pass.

When Guan Jing saw this, he didn't say anything, he just sighed silently.

After a while, Gongsun Zan slowly turned around.

"Pass my order to the soldiers to give up the ambush and immediately light a fire for warmth and cooking!"

Gongsun Zan said aloud.

His voice and face were very calm, but his eyes were extremely red.

Guan Jing hesitated to speak, and after giving a deep salute to Gongsun Zan, he hurried to convey the order.

There were some cheers soon, and soon the flames were lit.

Of course, along with the flames, there is also some smoke.

Many soldiers have been frozen stiff, and the road is already difficult to walk...

Gongsun Zan, who was standing here without warming himself by the fire, listened to the cheers of the soldiers, looked at the miserable appearance of the soldiers who were frozen, and his livid face turned red without knowing when...

On the wall of Sishui Pass, people who had been paying attention to the situation outside the pass saw some rising smoke from a distance, and immediately trotted all the way down the wall of Sishui Pass...

(I was thinking that I was going to visit relatives today, so I got up around five o'clock to code. Then the computer couldn't be turned on, and it still can't be turned on until now... Damn, my mentality is extremely explosive! If I hadn't uploaded several files to my phone yesterday
