Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

If they dare to fight against the corner, then you two don't have to be polite!Killing chickens to warn monkeys is still very effective! "

Zhang Xiu and Pang De immediately clasped their fists together and said, "Thank you General Zhendong for your advice, I will finally understand!"

......

Bingzhou Lu Yan has already started to act.

On the other side, the anti-Cao coalition forces composed of Gao Gan, Zhang Baiqi, Wei Gu, Fan Xian and others have also captured Anyi, Jiangxian, Yuncheng and other places one after another.

However, when facing the Yi (yi) family area where Du Ji's activities are frequent, the high-ranking allied forces seemed to be unable to move an inch, and Du Ji even seized the opportunity to ambush him several times on the way.

Although the loss was not large, it was a blow to morale, which made the senior cadres very angry.

A small Yishi County, after so many days, even the county seat has not been seen, and the 3 army can't do anything to Du Ji's more than [-] people. How can this compete with Cao Cao?

The more Gao Gan thinks about it, the more angry he becomes, but he still has nothing to do with Du Ji... No one can be found, so what's the use of being angry again.

It turned out that Du Ji led a team that expanded from [-] to [-] people and hid in the forest in Nanyuan.

There are high mountains and dense forests, and people enter it like a drop in the ocean. If you want to find Du Ji in such deep mountains and old forests, it is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.But regardless of Du Ji's words, he will jump out and stab you in the back at any time, which really annoys the high officials and others.

Just when the high-ranking officials were having a headache for Du Ji, the spies he stayed in Bingzhou suddenly sent news.

A messenger flew to report. When he was more than ten meters away from Gao Gan, he suddenly turned over and got off his horse, knelt down on one knee towards Gao Gan, and held up a seal letter with both hands: "Report! General! There is an urgent military situation from Bingzhou!"

Gao Gan took the secret letter, tore open the envelope and opened it for a look. Immediately, his sword brows were erected and he was furious: "Lu Yanshu! Who gave you the courage to act so recklessly!"

Seeing that the high officials were angry, Fan Xian asked, "General Cheqi, what happened in Bingzhou?"

Gao Gan raised his head, gritted his teeth and said: "Then Lu Yan is so bold that he even sent troops to slaughter our Bingzhou gentry!"

Fan Xian and Wei Gu were shocked when they heard the words, "Then Lu Yan dared to slaughter the nobles? Isn't he afraid that the world's rich and powerful families will attack him!"

While Fan Xian and Wei Gu were talking, Gao Gan hurriedly read the secret letter.

After reading the secret letter, Gao Gan was not as angry as before.

Seeing Gao Gan frowning, Wei Gu asked again: "Is there any bad news in the letter?"

Gao Gan closed his eyes, pondered for a while, and then opened his eyes and said: "When Lu Yan slaughtered Bingzhou tyrants, he also split up and recruited a group of nobles...those traitors!"

After Fan Xian and Wei Gu looked at each other, they sighed: "Divide up and win over, suppress dissidents... This Lu Yan has extraordinary means!"

"When the aristocratic families in Bingzhou who dared to resist Lu Yan are almost cleared up, I am afraid that Bingzhou will completely fall to Cao Cao."

"Then Lu Yan claims to be at the pinnacle of both civil and martial arts, and has never been defeated in the army for more than ten years... If we go to Bingzhou, can we beat him?"

"Yeah...Even Yuan Benchu ​​was defeated, why should we fight him?"

"It's better to stand firm in Hedong first and then talk about other things..."

Chapter 335 Cao Jun, You Don't Talk About Martial Virtue

Listening to the discussion of these people, the high-ranking officials gradually darkened.

Good guys, before Lu Yan's army came, you have already started to coax; if Lu Yan really led the army to come, wouldn't you just surrender?

When the wind was down, they pointed out Jiangshan one by one in high spirits, but now when they heard that Lu Yan was coming to conquer them, they immediately began to waver.Before the battle, they don't think about how to kill the enemy, but instead repeatedly shirk their responsibilities. What big things can such a team accomplish?

But Gao Gan thinks again, his future and hope are now in this group of people, if he breaks up with them, it will be over for him.Therefore, although the high-ranking officials are annoyed now, they don't dare to get angry at them casually. If they get scolded so anxiously that they quit, then he really can't find a place to cry.

After taking a deep breath, Gao Gan calmed down the anger in his heart a little, and said in a calm tone as much as possible: "Everyone, since Lu Yan wants to guard Bingzhou and also come to Hedong County to fight with us, his strength and luggage will definitely not be too large." many.

As long as we can quickly pacify the west of Hedong and Hongnong Liancheng before his army arrives, then we will rely on the strong city to defend to the death, even if it consumes money, it will kill Lu Yan! "

Gao Gan's words were like a shot in the arm, giving great encouragement to this group of rebels.

But at this time, someone said: "Yi's is also a big city, and the city is strong. I'm afraid we won't be able to take it down for a while. And behind us, Du Ji's army comes out to harass from time to time. It may be difficult to take down Yi's county seat." Small!"

This person's worry is not without reason.

Gao Gan heard the words, so he looked at Zhang Baiqi, his most powerful general at present, and asked: "General Zhang, can you quickly take down the Yi family?"

"???" Zhang Baiqi was taken aback by Gao Gan's sudden question, and was a little stunned for a while.

He is good at looting houses, murdering and setting fires; he really has no idea about the fine work of planning the war situation...

Before Dongyuan had only [-] to [-] weak defenders, and it took him several days to defeat them. Now the conservative Yi family has [-] defenders, plus Du Ji, who is fighting guerrillas outside...

"This..." After thinking for a while, Zhang Baiqi's mind was still blank... As a last resort, he could only look at Fan Xian and Wei Gu who had contacted him to do important things together, and asked, "Both of you Sir, do you have a way to break the city?"

"???" Fan Xian and Wei Gu were also dumbfounded.

Isn't this special high-level cadre asking you, why did you ask about us in turn?

Besides, you have nothing to do, and we really have nothing to do!

Looking at the three silent people in front of him, Gao Gan was really angry and wanted to laugh.

When the alliance was just formed before, everyone in this group was bragging loudly, as if everyone was the reincarnation of Lu Yan, and Lu Bu was reincarnated... Now, they just encountered a problem that was not too big and their minds were empty. Dangdang, really is a bunch of idiots who can only talk but can't do anything.

Gao Gan's chest was heaving violently, and he kept admonishing himself in his heart: "I still need their troops...be patient, be patient! be patient!!!"

Suppressing the anger in his heart again, Gao Gan still tried his best to maintain a calm tone, saying: "In any case, we have to speed up the march, we must take down the Yi clan as soon as possible, and then further seize the whole of Hedong. When the time comes, we will stick to the city, As soon as Hongnong's reinforcements arrive, Lu Yan can only walk around without food!"

Zhang Baiqi, Fan Xian, and Wei Gu really had no other choice but to nod and agree to the senior officials' arrangement.Whether to break the city or not is another matter, you have to reach under the city first, right?

But now there is another problem, so Wei Gu said: "There is still a section of rugged mountain road ahead, then maybe Du Ji will set up an ambush somewhere in front..."

After all, I still don't want to sacrifice my own vitality, no one wants to take the lead in exploring the way, and my selfishness is fully exposed.

"Why don't we wait for the news of Hongnong's friendly army? If the reinforcements from Hongnong's side can arrive, the Yi clan will definitely be there!" Wei Gu said suddenly.

"Hongnong's forces are still fighting against the Dayang defenders. When they arrive, the yellow flowers and vegetables will be cold!" Fan Xian shook his head and directly denied it.

"Then what do you say?"

"You ask me, I ask who to..."

As these people talked, they began to scratch their heads again.

Zhang Baiqi couldn't stand it anymore, and he didn't want to take the lead. He couldn't let the five thousand elite cavalry of high-ranking officials go, could he?His cavalry was reserved for Lu Yan.

"General Cheqi, the last general is willing to be a pioneer and open the way for the army!" In the end, it was Zhang Baiqi who carried all the...

Gao Gan breathed a sigh of relief, this group of powerful families is not even as good as a yellow scarf leader, don't you feel ashamed?

However, when Fan Xian, Wei Gu and others heard that Zhang Baiqi volunteered to be a pioneer to explore the road, they all heaved a sigh of relief, not to mention the shame, if he and Zhang Baiqi were not here, they might have both clapping hands to celebrate...

Zhang Baiqi's strength should be one of the top existences among all the rebel armies. Their weapons and armor may not be as sophisticated as the army controlled by the aristocratic family, but no matter whether it is combat experience or courage, these Yellow Turban Army will throw out this group There are several grades of old soldiers.

......

At the same time, Xu Huang was already on the last day of the three-day siege period.

It's just a pity that the explosives that Lu Yan brought to Jizhou were all used up, and it was too late to mobilize them from Chen Liu... Otherwise, the explosives would not have been so difficult.

For the first two days, Xu Huang kept bombing with trebuchets three times a day in the morning, at noon and in the evening.After the bombing, it was a forcible siege of the city.

Moreover, when the soldiers attack the city, there must be drums, trumpets, and shouts of killing, and the sound will shake the sky.It seems that even if you can't break the city, you must suppress your opponent in terms of momentum.

Huguan City, in the prefect's mansion.

The county guard's mansion is far away from the city wall that Cao Jun attacked the city, just to avoid flying stones.

After figuring out Cao Jun's route in the past two days, Xia Zhao will come to the Sheriff's Mansion ahead of time to wait.

But now, Xia Zhao has been waiting in the county guard's mansion for a long time, but there has been no movement outside the city.

After walking back and forth a few times, Xia Zhao shouted outside: "Come here! What time is it?"

Hearing Xia Zhao's question, the guards who were waiting outside rushed in and replied, "General, it's the third quarter of the hour!"

Hearing that it was already the third quarter of the hour, Xia Zhao was slightly surprised, and said, "It's already this late?"

Afterwards, Xia Zhao muttered to himself again: "Then why hasn't Cao Jun moved today?"

Just when Xia Zhao wondered why Cao Jun's trebuchet hadn't moved yet,

As if to answer Xia Zhao's doubts, a messenger suddenly stumbled in from outside: "General! General! Disaster! Disaster!"

The messenger ran and yelled. When he ran into the hall, he accidentally tripped his left foot and tripped his right foot, and fell with a "plop".

Xia Zhao strode up, picked up the messenger and said, "Quickly tell me, what happened?"

"Cao... Cao... Cao Jun, they are attacking the city!!!"

"What did you say???"

Chapter 336 Lu Huanqi knows people with his eyes, Xu Gongzhi takes Huguan wisely

Xia Zhao suddenly heard that Cao Jun had entered the city, and asked with wide eyes in disbelief, "What did you say???"

The messenger saw that Xia Zhao still didn't believe it, so he repeated: "Return... General, Cao Jun has really attacked the city!!!"

"Snapped!"

Xia Zhao threw the messenger back to the ground and shouted angrily, "Nonsense! Why is Cao Jun so silent..."

"It's absolutely true, General!" Speaking of this, the messenger suddenly remembered something and added: "But Cao's army didn't come in from the east gate, they came in secretly from the west gate!"

Having said that, Xia Zhao suddenly recalled, "So that's how it is... So the trebuchets and the siege with great fanfare a few days ago were all intentionally shown to me! This general is still too careless. Cao Jun is fooling the sky and crossing the sea!"

The remorseful Xia Zhao knew that he had been fooled by Cao Jun, but he still shouted loudly: "Send the order, gather all the defenders and follow me to drive Cao Jun out of the city!"

However, when Xia Zhao and his personal guards had just walked out of the Sheriff's Mansion, a group of Cao Jun had already surrounded the gate of the Sheriff's Mansion in darkness.

"This...was surrounded so soon?" Xia Zhao, who was surrounded by a group of strong men as soon as he walked out of the gate, was a little dumbfounded, and thought: "It shouldn't be, there are more than [-] defenders in the city, How can it be impossible for someone to break through the whole line so quickly?"

However, Xia Zhao's doubts were quickly answered.

Cao Jun, who was surrounding Huguan County Guard's Mansion, suddenly parted a passage, and Xu Huang, Huang Zhong, and Deng Sheng walked out of the passage.

Seeing Deng Sheng, Xia Zhao was stunned at first, then suddenly realized, and finally pointed at Deng Sheng angrily, and asked, "Well, you Deng Sheng, you don't want to talk about surrendering to the enemy, but you even persuaded my soldiers to come and arrest me! Did you Don't you feel any guilt at all?!"

Xia Zhao guessed right, it was precisely because of Deng Sheng's personal persuasion that most of the defenders in Huguan City surrendered without any resistance.

Huang Zhong had been left by Lu Yan behind Huguan to deal with the aftermath.

Before surrendering to Lu Yan, Deng Sheng did his best to guard Huguankou. Although Kaesong surrendered in the end, it was not his original intention.

After Deng Sheng surrendered to Lu Yan, in order to make it easier for Huang Zhong to clean up the forces of the Bingzhou Army on the front line of Huguan, Lu Yan assigned Deng Sheng to Huang Zhong as his assistant.

After Lu Yan assigned a task to Xu Huang, he immediately summoned Huang Zhong to assist Xu Huang in attacking the city. When Huang Zhong came to help, he also brought along Deng Sheng, who was temporarily serving as his deputy.

Needless to say, Deng Sheng really played a big role after he came.

After Cao's army attacked Huguan City from the other side of the city wall by deceiving the sky, in addition to encountering a fierce resistance at the beginning, a considerable part of the defenders in the city were directly persuaded to surrender by Deng Sheng.The surrender of the defenders not only greatly reduced the casualties of the Cao army, but also accelerated the progress of the Cao army's occupation of Huguan City, and even Xia Zhaolian was blocked at the door of the county guard's mansion.

Most of the defenders in the city surrendered to Cao Jun, and a small number of those who resisted were either beheaded on the spot or captured after being defeated.

Under Deng Sheng's leadership, Xu Huang and Huang Zhong quickly led the army to the county guard's mansion where Xia Zhao was hiding.

Facing Xia Zhao's questioning, Deng Sheng said righteously: "Brother Xia, you and I have assisted Gao Gan for many years, and we love brothers... Brothers, let me tell you the truth. Shang has already fled to Hedong County. He doesn't care about the life and death of you, my brother and all the brothers in the army, he only cares about himself!"

Xia Zhao actually had similar thoughts about whether Gao Gan really went to ask for reinforcements or ran away, but he still had some illusions in his heart, hoping that Gao Gan would do what he said and ask the reinforcements to rescue them.

It's a pity, judging from the current situation, Xia Zhao's fantasy seems to be shattered, and it is very likely that the senior officials left them and ran away.

Thinking of this, Xia Zhao's expression kept changing, showing that the struggle in his heart was extremely intense.

Huang Zhong saw that Xia Zhao was wavering, so he hit the iron while it was hot: "General Xia, don't worry, you can guard Huguan City for Gao Gan and stop our army for many days, which shows that you are as loyal as General Deng. Whether it is Prime Minister Cao or Lu Hussars are all kind and benevolent people, and they always treat loyal and righteous people with more courtesy... There are two generals Zhang He and Gao Lan in the distance, and General Deng Sheng in the near, they are the best proof."

What Xia Zhao was worried about was exactly what Huang Zhong said... He was worried that he would be punished by Cao Jun if he blocked Cao Jun for a long time;

Huang Zhong's words undoubtedly reassured Xia Zhao a lot.

Seeing that Xia Zhao's mood gradually calmed down, Deng Sheng knew that the matter was almost over.

"Hahaha!" Deng Sheng laughed and walked up to Xia Zhao alone, looked him in the eyes and said, "Don't worry brother, Mr. Cao will not treat us badly."

Seeing Deng Sheng and General Cao Jun being so sincere, Xia Zhao finally made up his mind.

He sighed softly in his heart, and secretly said: "Inspector Gao, Xia has tried his best..."

Immediately, Xia Zhao threw away the weapon in his hand, knelt down on one knee and asked Xu Huang to surrender: "The criminal Xia Zhao, I wish to surrender to Prime Minister Cao!"

Xu Huang successfully completed his task, and at the same time as the boulder fell in his heart, a sense of comfort rose from the bottom of his heart.

"Okay! Hahaha!" Xu Huang laughed and came to Xia Zhao's side, helped him up and said, "General Xia has abandoned the dark and turned to the bright, the Prime Minister will definitely not treat you badly."

With Xu Huang's support, Xia Zhao stood up, cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, General."

"We will be colleagues from now on, so you don't have to be polite.
