Before facing the army led by Zhong Yao, Ma Teng and others, they lost consecutive battles and were finally driven out of Hedong County. Now Zhong Yao's original team has added a more powerful Lu Yan. He can hold the Huguan by himself.

Since there are only more than [-] soldiers and horses in Bingzhou, and almost all of them are in Huguan City, if there is no reinforcements to defend Huguan City, there will only be a dead end after all.Gao Gan and others thought that instead of sitting and waiting to die, it is better to fight and invite a support army.

After deliberation, they felt that the most likely reinforcement to be invited was the Southern Xiongnu Shanyu Huchuquan who was still active in the Pingyang area of ​​​​Hedong.

Hu Chuquan launched the Battle of Hedong with Gao Gan and Guo Yuan before, but was beaten by Zhong Yao and Ma Chao and fled in embarrassment.After Guo Yuan's death, Hu Chuquan and Gao Gan were directly kicked out of Hedong...

Gao Gan ran back to his Bingzhou territory in panic like a bereaved dog; while Huchuquan was like a stray dog, still wandering around until now, not knowing where to stay.

The same is a fallen person in Tianya, and Gao Gan immediately thought of Shanyu, the Southern Xiongnu who was also in trouble at the critical moment.

Although the Xiongnu soldiers in Huchuquan also lost a lot, there are still [-] nails in the broken ship. If they can get the assistance of the Huns cavalry, Gao Gan believes that he has a good chance of repelling Cao Jun and even destroying it in the Shangdang Basin.

Later, after discussing with the generals, he took all the Bingzhou cavalry alone and headed towards the Pingyang area of ​​​​Hedong, seeking help from the Southern Huns Shanyu Huchuquan.In the end, only the generals Xia Zhao, Deng Sheng and more than [-] infantry in Huguan continued to defend the city.

Gaogan went south from Shangdang Basin to Zezhou Basin, then went west to Luize County in Hedong, passed through Linfen Basin, and finally reached the border of Pingyang.

After going through untold hardships, Gao Gan finally found Huchuquan who was wandering around, and explained his reason for coming.

"Shan Yu, Bingzhou is in critical condition right now and needs your help urgently. For the sake of us fighting side by side for so long, please send troops to help me get through this calamity!" Gao Gan spoke earnestly, his eyes shining with earnestness look forward to.

However, to Gao Gan's surprise, his old friend Hu Chuquan has now completely given up after being defeated by Cao Jun twice.

"That...Brother Gao, it's not that my brother doesn't want to help you, it's because the warriors of our tribe have gone through too long wars, and everyone is tired of fighting."

Gao Gan was stunned. Before he came, he heard the news that many Huns were plundering in Pingyang, Hedong. Now you tell me that they are tired of war, who the hell would believe it?

After sinking his mind and thinking for a while, Gao Gan knew that this was Hu Chuquan's unwillingness to fight against Cao Jun, and he deliberately evaded his own rhetoric.

But besides Hu Chuquan, Gao Gan really can't think of anyone else who can support him.

How to do?

Gao Gan was unwilling to give away his foundation, so he repeatedly asked Hu Chuquan to send troops for help.

In order to ask for reinforcements, he even promised to set aside part of the territory in Taiyuan County for Huchuquan as his territory.However, even though Gao Gan offered such a generous offer, he was flatly rejected by Hu Chuquan.

After Huchuquan's defeat, he had been thinking about it all the time.

Now the whole world belongs to Cao Cao's momentum.With Cao Cao's strength, Bingzhou will be annexed by him sooner or later.And it's not just Bingzhou, Youzhou is also doomed.

If you are a high-ranking cadre who sticks to Bingzhou, even if you can stop it for a while, can you stop it for a lifetime?

Hu Chuquan is also a shrewd person, and he does not reject serving the Han people. This can be seen from when he agreed to Yang Feng's request and sent troops to help Emperor Xian return to Luoyang.

Now that Cao Cao has defeated Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan one after another after defeating Yuan Shao, even a blind man can see who is the most promising prince to unify the world.

Since Hu Chuquan could help Emperor Xian at the beginning, why can't he turn to Cao Cao now?

Hu Chuquan, who has already made up his mind, is now unwilling to help senior officials even if he is beaten to death, thus offending Lao Cao.

So no matter what kind of tempting conditions the high-ranking envoys promise, Hu Chuquan just won't let go...

Gao Gan's saliva was dry, but in the end he was helplessly sent out of his camp by Hu Chuquanli.

Standing outside the camp, the high-ranking cadres who looked around in a daze suddenly didn't know what to do next...

Seeing Gao Gan standing in front of him without saying anything for a long time, the deputy general not far behind him couldn't help but stepped forward and asked, "General, what should we do now?"

"What should I do?" Gao Gan lowered his head slightly, he didn't know what to do...

But there are thousands of cavalry brothers behind him, he must show enough tenacity and determination, otherwise the team will be difficult to lead if the hearts of the people are scattered.

After thinking for a while, Gao Gan said to the guard: "We are running out of food and grass, let's go back to Suize for a rest."

After hearing Gao Gan's words, the deputy general responded with an order: "Here!" Then he went to organize the soldiers to prepare to go south to Luize.

When the high-ranking army first entered Luize, they saw many refugees fleeing from the west along the way.

Now the entire territory of Hedong is under the control of Cao Jun, and the new prefect has just taken office not long ago.

"What happened in the east of the river, so that there are refugees fleeing again?"

Looking at these refugees, Gao Gan couldn't help but suddenly became curious.

Chapter 331 Is the spring of senior officials coming?

Looking at this group of terrified refugees, Gao Gan felt moved, and said to himself: "It seems that something happened in the east of the river... I should send someone to inquire about the news first, and see if there is any information that can be used. The place."

Thinking of this, senior officials sent several scouts to inquire about the news.

Soon, the people he sent brought back reliable news.

Several scouts came back one after another and reported to the senior officials: "Report to the governor, the refugees said that there is an army that comes from nowhere and is attacking Dongyuan County!"

"Attack Cao Jun's county seat?!" Gao Gan was refreshed when he heard the words, and the person who opposed Cao Jun was his potential friend?

So Gao Gan couldn't wait to ask: "Can I ask where this team came from and who is the leader?"

The scout who reported first obviously didn't know. Just as he was full of embarrassment, another soldier who went to investigate the news replied: "Return to the general, I found out! The one who attacked Dongyuan was led by Zhang Baiqi. Yellow Turban Army!"

"Zhang Baiqi? Black Mountain Army?!" Gao Gan was overjoyed when he heard this.

Zhang Baiqi is from the Black Mountain Army. His real name is Zhang Sheng. Because he rides a white horse, he is called Zhang Baiqi.Just like Zhang Yan, who is fierce and agile, is called Zhang Feiyan.

This piece of Baiqi used to be a general under Zhang Niujiao, and he had a brotherly relationship with Zhang Yansu.

Later, after Zhang Niujiao's death, Zhang Yan commanded most of the Black Mountain Army; Zhang Baiqi led the troops to the west, and has been active in Hongnong and Hedong, seeking to develop and grow.

Now, Zhang Yan voted for Cao Cao, but Zhang Baiqi chose to attack Cao.

As the saying goes, the enemy of an enemy is a friend...and because Zhang Baiqi left earlier, Gao Gan and Zhang Baiqi have no grievances.

Now that he heard that Zhang Baiqi was raising troops to attack Cao, Gao Gan immediately thought of a way: "Otherwise... I will send troops to help Zhang Baiqi control Hedong first, and then ask him to send troops to help me defeat Cao Jun and take back Bingzhou? !"

"This plan is feasible!" Thinking of this, the high-ranking officer became excited, and the flame of hope was rekindled in his heart, "It is hopeful to regain the foundation!"

As long as Zhang Baiqi is contacted, Gao Gan is very sure that he can persuade him to do things together.

Therefore, Gao Gan immediately set off after replenishing the necessary food and grass, leading his five thousand cavalry towards Dongheng County.

Zhang Baiqi, who was besieging Dongyuan County, suddenly received news from scouts that a guy who claimed to be a high-ranking governor of Bingzhou led [-] cavalry to help.

This high-ranking cadre is quite famous in Hebei, not only because he is Yuan Shao's nephew, but also because he himself has good talents.

Gao Gan suddenly appeared in Hedong. Although Zhang Baiqi was puzzled, he also knew that he was not his enemy... because they all have a common opponent now, that is Cao Cao!

Zhang Baiqi attached great importance to the arrival of senior officials.

He even put down the city he was attacking, and personally greeted the high officials.

Seeing him riding a white horse, holding a spear, and wearing a white robe fluttering in the wind, he looked like Zhao Zilong. After Zhang Bai rode, Gao Gan laughed and cupped his fists and said, "I have heard about the general's demeanor for a long time, and I can see it today." , enough comfort for life!"

Everyone loves to hear good things, let alone Yuan Shao's nephew.Born in a wealthy family, the governor of a state... Zhang Baiqi was undoubtedly very pleased with the praise from high officials.

Zhang Baiqi immediately returned the salute by cupping his fists: "The governor is too famous! Some people have set up a banquet to cleanse the governor, what's the matter, let's talk while eating!"

"That's great! General Zhang, please!"

"Inspector, please!"

Wine over three rounds of dishes over five flavors.

Gao Gan learned from Zhang Baiqi that besides Zhang Baiqi, there were Weigu of Hedong County, Zhonglang General Fan Xian and others who raised troops against Cao in Hedong.

Zhang Baiqi had colluded with them in advance, and as soon as Zhong Yao's army left Hedong, they took the opportunity to attack, intending to seize the empty Hedong County.

Gao Gan and Zhang Baiqi finally reached a consensus. He first helped Zhang Baiqi and others capture Hedong, and Zhang Baiqi and others helped him regain Bingzhou. The two joined forces to fight against Cao Cao!

The two talked very happily, and they felt like they hated seeing each other late, so that they talked until late at night and finally fell asleep.

Zhang Bai's cavalry has 2 horses, and the current defenders in Dongyuan County are less than [-].

Even if the senior cadres don't come, Dongyuan can hold out for at most three to five days before being breached.

Almost all of Zhang Baiqi's troops are infantry. With the addition of the five thousand cavalry of Gao Gan, he can undoubtedly add more tactical options.

Moreover, after the high-ranking cavalry joined, the morale of the Black Mountain Army led by Zhang Baiqi was greatly boosted. With the soldiers redoubled their efforts, Dongyuan was broken by them two days in advance.

With the destruction of Dongyuan, Jiangxian and other places one after another, the counties in Hedong fell one after another, and the rebels in Hedong were greatly shocked for a while.

Immediately afterwards, several anti-Cao forces in Hongnong County, which is adjacent to Hedong County, also rose up. They even hijacked the county guard placed by Cao Cao, and joined Gao Gan, Zhang Baiqi and others in their anti-Cao cause.

Regarding the sudden appearance of so many anti-Cao forces, Gao Gan was both surprised and delighted, and he felt like "the mountains and rivers are full of doubts and there is no way out, and the willows are dark and the flowers are bright and another village".

The forces from all walks of life finally gathered in Anyi, the governor of Hedong County, and the leaders of all walks of life gathered in the camp of Gao Gan Zhang Baiqi at this moment.

The anti-Cao forces of Hedong and Hongnong have a total of 7 to [-] people, and because among this group of people, high-ranking officials have the highest official positions and prestige, so all rebels are faintly headed by high-ranking officials and Zhang Baiqi.

Suddenly there are so many "underlings", the confidence of the high-ranking officials not only returned, but even burst into confidence for a while.

Looking at the camp full of leaders from all walks of life, Gao Gan suddenly felt that he had great things to look forward to, "With the help of so many anti-Cao righteous men, why should I worry about my great success?"

Under the instigation of the crowd, Gao Gan proclaimed himself General of Chariots and Cavalry, and Zhang Baiqi as General of Pingdong, and other leaders from all walks of life were rewarded.

......

Du Ji, courtesy name Bohou, was born in Jingzhao Duling.

After receiving the appointment from the imperial court, he came to Hedong County as the governor.But less than half a year after taking office, a massive rebellion broke out in Hedong County.

However, apart from the Black Mountain Army, most of the people involved in the rebellion in Hedong County were local officials and gentry gentry.

They were already dissatisfied with Cao Cao's methods of suppressing the gentry and gentry, and now they replaced the former prefect Wang Yi with a stranger Du Ji, so they chose to fight against Cao Cao in a fit of anger.

However, under the governance of Du Ji and Cao Cao, Dongjun won the hearts of the people of Dongjun.

Therefore, although many places in Hedong County have fallen, and even Anyi, the government office, has been besieged, Du Ji, relying on his own appeal, has summoned more than 3000 horses in just a few days, and has been on the battlefield. He secretly fought guerrilla warfare with Gao Gan and others.

Due to the help of the people, the army led by Du Ji was often able to escape the encirclement and suppression of the rebels first.

Even when they got favorable information, they could still eat some rebel teams who were left behind or traveled independently.

Repeatedly like this, coupled with a steady stream of people joining Du Ji's team... After so many days of entanglement with the rebels, Du Ji's team has not only not decreased, but has grown to 7000 people.

But guerrilla warfare can only disturb the enemy, after all, it cannot determine the general situation.

Du Ji also understood this, so he just wanted to try his best to delay the rebels so that Cao Cao could send troops to help buy time.

Chapter 332 Family, Don't Be Underestimated

Wei Gu and Fan Xian are both natives of Hedong, and their families are also famous families in Hedong.Especially the Hedong Wei family, whose family has some well-known figures in later generations.

Before Zhong Yao and Ma Teng and Han Sui jointly recovered Hedong County, in order to consolidate the rule of Hedong County, Cao Cao summoned Wang Yi, the prefect of Hedong, to be an official in the court, and sent Du Ji, an official he trusted, to serve as the prefect of Hedong.

However, Wang Yi himself was deeply loved by the family and the common people in Hedong County. Many officials and gentry did not want Wang Yi to leave office, and Wang Yi himself had been operating in Hedong for many years, and he was not willing to be transferred out of his comfort zone.

Because of this, Fan Xian and Jun Weigu, who were serving as generals of Zhonglang at that time, went to see Zhong Yao. They hoped that Zhong Yao could persuade Cao Cao to allow Wang Yi to stay in Hedong as the prefect.

But the position of Hedong County is extremely important, and Wang Yi is not from Cao Cao... What's more frightening is that Wang Yi is still quite prestigious in Hedong County and has a very close connection with the local gentry. How could Cao Cao stay so A hidden danger.

Zhong Yao obviously also understood that Wang Yi was a hidden danger. It was fine if Fan Xian and Wei Gu didn't persuade him, but it was counterproductive to persuade him, which further strengthened Zhong Yao's decision on Cao Cao.Therefore, Zhong Yao repeatedly rejected the requests of Fan Xian, Wei Gu and others, and instead often urged Wang Yi to leave for Xuchang as soon as possible to become an official in the court.

Wei Gu and Fan Xian felt resentful.

They didn't want to change a prefect sent by Cao Cao, because they also knew Cao Cao's attitude towards the gentry of the family.

Worried that the newly appointed prefect would harm the interests of himself and others,

Therefore, Wei Gu, Fan Xian and other officials from Hedong decided to secretly hook up with Zhang Baiqi who was wandering in the Hongnong area of ​​​​Hedong after discussion, and planned to launch a rebellion in an attempt to occupy Hedong and become the local emperor.

When Du Ji first took office in Hedong, Fan Xian wanted to give Du Ji a blow. He beheaded more than [-] people including the master, but Du Ji still looked calm.

Later, Wei Gu and Fan Xian raised their troops to rebel, and Du Ji fled alertly. Then he pulled up an army by virtue of his appeal, and began to deal with the Hedong rebels secretly.

Nearly ten days have passed since Zhang Baiqi, Wei Gu, and Fan Xian raised the anti-flag.

The rebellion in Hedong and Hongnong finally reached the hands of Cao Cao who was still cleaning up the mess in Jizhou in Yecheng.

When he first saw the news, Lao Cao was so angry that the media came up and recited it.

After taking a few deep breaths, Cao Cao finally straightened out his heart, and his mood calmed down a little.

He picked up the information that he had thrown on the table and read it carefully, "The local gentry of the Hedong War was extremely xenophobic, so much so that someone rose up as soon as the army left... So repeated, it is not a long-term solution Ah...it seems that I still underestimated the power of the family!"

In the past, whether it was Yanzhou or Xuzhou, the influence of the aristocratic family on Cao Cao was not too great, so that Cao Cao underestimated the power of the aristocratic family.

This rebellion in Hedong County was planned and operated by the local gentry in Hedong. Not only the crisis in Hedong, but also the journey of Bingzhou will be affected.

Cao Cao finally began to realize the difficulty of this group of gentry, "Oh!"

At this moment,

Xi Zhicai and Xun You were summoned to the state pastoral mansion, just in time to see Cao Cao sighing.
