Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

As the saying goes, a strong dragon does not overwhelm a local snake, Fan Xianweigu and other wealthy families in Hedong are undoubtedly stronger than Gao Gan and Zhang Baiqi.I can't afford to be offended, even if I received a soft threat, the senior officials can only pretend that they didn't hear it.

Gao Gan's face was serious, and he nodded as a matter of course and replied: "It's natural, don't worry, two generals, General Zhang and I will definitely fight for at least three days for you. In addition to the two or three days when Lu Yan came here, Five to six days should be enough for you to capture the Yi clan, right?"

After Fan Xian and the others heard what Gao Gan said, they felt a little relieved.After some quiet discussion, Fan Xian said: "Five days should be enough... We were just testing the details of the defenders the past two days, and now we have almost tested the city, and we can officially start the siege !"

After Gao Gan heard this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching slightly. How could he say such shameless words so grandiosely?

After taking a deep breath, Gao Gan clasped his fists and said, "Then, General Zhang and I will delay Lu Yan's advance for you. Here, we also wish you all the best and win the Yi clan!"

"With the general's auspicious words, we will surely win the final victory!"

"Definitely!"

"Definitely!"

......

However, when looking at the backs of Gao Gan and Zhang Baiqi leading the army away, Fan Xian suddenly said to Wei Gu: "Why do I always feel that something is not right?"

"You also feel this way?" Wei Gu said in surprise, "I thought I was the only one who felt this way... To be honest, I still can't trust them. If they didn't stop Lu Yan, but took the opportunity to escape, Then we'll be in big trouble."

When Fan Xian heard this, his heart skipped a beat, and he immediately regretted that he trusted Gao Gan and Zhang Baiqi.

"Then what should we do now? Take the opportunity to run away?" Fan Xian asked Wei Gu with some uncertainty. Anyway, he couldn't afford to face the [-] army led by Lu Yan alone.

"I'm not sure if Gao Gan and the others really ran away. After all, we need him, but he needs us more..." Wei Gu thought for a while, and then continued: "If this is not the case, let's send an army first. Follow them in the name of helping the army, if Gao Gan is not going to stop Lu Yan, then at the latest tomorrow night, we will evacuate here immediately."

After hearing Wei Gu's suggestion, Fan Xian's distressed face immediately wrinkled, "If this happens, we really have no hope of capturing Hedong County!"

Seeing that Fan Xian was still entangled in profit and territory, Wei Gu said anxiously: "Oh! Is life important, or profit and territory? You don't even think about it, just relying on our impromptu army to fight against the world. Isn’t it a proper way to give away the head if you fight against Cao’s army?”

Fan Xian didn't say anything more, he knew what Wei Gu said was right.

The ones who can really fight are the Black Mountain Army under Zhang Baiqi's command and the five thousand elite cavalry of high-ranking officials...

Many of their soldiers only had the simplest knives and guns, and they were still wearing simple leather armor.Combat experience is almost only half a month from the beginning of the rebellion to today, and I have hardly encountered a frontal battle...

Although the coalition army seems to have as many as [-] to [-], they are very clear in their hearts how much their real combat power is.

There is no moat in Yi's county town with more than [-] people, and the city wall is not too tall, but three days have passed, and their soldiers have not even climbed the city wall.

Although there are reasons for cherishing feathers and not working hard most of the time,

But when it's time to go all out, it's really hard to say whether the coalition forces will be able to show their desperate momentum again!

Chapter 342 The Darkness Before Dawn

Gao Gan fooled Fan Xian and Wei Gu, and then led the troops and horses of the headquarters with Zhang Baiqi to leave the vicinity of Yishi County smoothly.

After walking for dozens of miles, seeing that it was almost evening, Gao Gan looked back and said to Zhang Baiqi: "General Zhang, the time is right, we can evacuate."

Zhang Baiqi originally responded to Wei Gu and Fan Xiancai's attack on Hedong.

At this moment, he suddenly wanted to abandon them and leave, and he suddenly felt that it was not moral...

After Zhang Baiqi struggled for a moment, he said to the senior officials: "General Che Qi, I think your previous strategy is really good, in fact, we might as well give it a try."

"Try it?" Gao Gan looked at Zhang Baiqi, and then asked dumbfounded: "I was just talking to them, and you actually took it seriously?

Do you know that there are tens of thousands of Xiliang cavalry under Lu Yan's command, even if there is an ambush, they can forcefully rush out of the encirclement. "

"But we can also dig a horse pit! Just like how Lu Yan dealt with other cavalry back then." Zhang Baiqi said unwillingly.

"But how many people can be turned over by those traps? Lu Yan used this trick before and tried it repeatedly because he already has a well-trained and powerful army."

"But I still think we should give it a try... Even if we really can't beat it, it's not too late for us to run again."

"Run? General Zhang, if we are really defeated, do you think we really have a chance to escape?" Gao Gan asked back.

Zhang Baiqi was silent when he heard the words. He had never fought Cao Jun, so he didn't have a specific concept of Cao Jun's strength.

He muttered in his heart: "Gao Gan is so afraid of Cao Jun that he doesn't even dare to fight him... Isn't this courage too small?"

Gao Gan glanced at the silent Zhang Baiqi, thinking that Zhang Baiqi might be a little disappointed by his own performance...

"It's really a guy who doesn't cry when he sees the coffin..." But Zhang Baiqi was his most reliable and last help, so he sighed in his heart.

Just when Gao Gan and Zhang Baiqi had a disagreement, a scout suddenly came to report: "Report! General! General Fan sent a team of thousands to help!"

Hearing the words, Gao Gan's eyes flashed brightly, and he thought, "Why are 1000 people here to help? I'm afraid they are not here to spy on me!"

Zhang Baiqi obviously reacted, and he just took advantage of this to make up his mind: "General Cheqi, the general feels that he should not run away anyway. Your strategy is still good, it should be worth a try!"

One side came to monitor, and the other side was Zhang Baiqi's insistence.

Under the pressure of the two parties, Gao Gan finally had no choice but to compromise, "That's all..." Gao Gan said with a sigh: "In this case, we will advance ten miles to camp, and then wait for the opportunity to ambush Cao Jun must pass on the way."

Zhang Baiqi couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Gao Gan let go.

It's not that he's afraid of high-ranking officers, it's just that after being a bandit for so many years, seeing that Zhang Yan and others have found their home, they have been washed from the bandit army and become an official army, Zhang Baiqi also wants to find a home for his brothers.

However, Zhang Baiqi chose to leave Montenegro at the beginning, and now he is really not doing well. Naturally, he felt a little shameless facing his former friends Zhang Yan and others, so he subconsciously refused to vote for Cao Jun.

Gao Gan is Yuan Shao's nephew, he comes from a famous family, he is talented and resolute, and he satisfies all the factors of a superior person.Zhang Baiqi believes that following the senior officials, as long as they help the senior officials regain control of Bingzhou, there will definitely be great benefits for him in the future.

Fan Xian and Wei Gu breathed a sigh of relief when they got the news from the sent person that Gao Gan and Zhang Baiqi were going to ambush and intercept Lu Yan.

"Gaogan and Zhang Baiqi are still righteous men, so let's attack the city in earnest tomorrow." Wei Gu said to Fan Xian and the others.

"It's true...they sacrificed their lives to intercept Cao Jun, we should also show some real strength, and we can't let Gao Gan and Zhang Baiqi underestimate them!"

"In order to motivate the soldiers to attack the city, I would like to give five thousand gold as a reward!"

"Arrogance! I will pay eight thousand gold!"

"I will offer ten thousand gold!"

As the local tyrants donated generously, the morale of the rebel soldiers reached its peak in an instant!

The next day, the rebel army approached the city again.

Standing on the city wall, Du Ji looked at the siege army from a distance, his face was extremely solemn, "Today's rebels have a bit of a killing spirit."

Not only Du Ji, but all the defenders on the city wall saw the difference in the Hedong rebels today.

As the saying goes, there must be a brave man under a heavy reward, and the stimulation of money made the morale and combat power of the rebel soldiers soar in a straight line.

"Hahahaha!" But at this critical moment, Du Ji burst into laughter unexpectedly.

Hearing Du Ji's sudden laughter, the general in charge of guarding the city suddenly asked in amazement: "Why is the prefect laughing?"

"I laugh at the rebels who don't know that disaster is imminent!"

"Where did the calamity come from?"

Du Ji looked around and looked at his soldiers, and saw that many people were attracted to him, so he explained loudly: "The bandits have been attacking the city for three days and have refused to use their full strength. Why are they acting uncharacteristically today? Has all the strength smashed against us?"

"Why?" The guard asked very cooperatively.

"That's because of them, hurry up!"

"Anxious?"

"That's right! The imperial court's reinforcements must have arrived. If they don't capture the Yi clan, they will face the danger of a double attack, so the bandits are in a hurry!"

When the defenders heard Du Ji say that the imperial reinforcements were coming, they immediately cheered.

However, Du Ji's face became serious again, and he said sharply: "The court's reinforcements are about to arrive, but before the reinforcements arrive, we will also usher in the most dangerous moment!"

As soon as the defenders cheered, they were thrown cold water by Du Ji's words, and the defender even said aloud: "Yes, the imperial reinforcements are about to arrive, so the rebels must attack the city with all their strength!"

"Here, Du, please, everyone, be sure to stick to the city...Because behind this city wall, there are countless innocent people, and maybe your wives, children and parents..." After Du Ji finished speaking, he cupped his hands towards the three sides, and went deep in turn. Thanks to the end, "If you stick to it for a few days, the dawn will come!"

"Stay to the end!"

"Fight to the death!"

"People are in the city!"

One side is the stimulus from money, and the other side is the guardianship from righteousness...

The Hedong rebels, under the orders of Wei Gu, Fan Xian and others, started the craziest siege mode! !

.......

Lu Yan, from Pingyang through Jiang County, went all the way to the southwest.

The people of Hedong County were deeply poisoned by the rebels, so when they learned that the army led by Lu Yan was about to arrive, all the counties and counties they passed along the way fell in anticipation.

The army was unimpeded all the way, and Lu Yan soon arrived at Anyi County, the governor of Hedong County.

There were only a few thousand defenders in Anyi County. After learning that Lu Yan's tens of thousands of troops were about to arrive, the defenders ran away overnight with the looted property.

When Cao Jun arrived in Anyi County, the people of Anyi, led by some conscientious local clansmen, greeted Cao Jun outside the city.

Pang De led the cavalry in front, and Lu Yan, Huang Zhong, and Zhang Xiu led the Chinese army in the rear.

When the figure of the army slowly appeared on the ground, suddenly, some people burst into tears: "My God! You are finally here!"

"The army of the imperial court has finally arrived!"

"General! You have to decide for us!"

The loud cry reached Lu Yan's ears from afar.

Lu Yan looked at Huang Zhong and said, "Go and ask, what's going on in Anyi?"

"Subordinates, go now!"

Huang Zhong clasped his fists and turned to leave. Three strands of gray and long beard under his chin fluttered wantonly on his chest with the wind.

Chapter 343 The Dragon King

Huang Zhong rode his horse and passed the vanguard army that had stopped, and came to the local gentry and common people, and asked: "I am under the tent of the Hussar General of the current dynasty, and Huang Zhong is the General Yangwu. What grievances do you have? Come on."

After hearing Huang Zhong's self-report, someone immediately exclaimed: "Ah! It turned out that General Hussars came in person!"

"General Hussars has always loved the people like a son, we are saved now!"

"General Hussars, you have to decide for us! Those traitors have stolen all our winter food...this winter is really impossible!"

"Yeah yeah! Not only food, but they also robbed everything of value..."

Bandits are like a comb, soldiers are like a dog...

When this group of defenders fled, they actually treated the people so cruelly.After hearing this, Huang Zhong was filled with indignation, "Rebellious ministers and thieves are harming the common people. They act like this and want to occupy land and become king? They should be killed!"

After telling Lu Yan of the people's grievances, Huang Zhong begged for orders: "Sir, the last general is willing to be the vanguard, and must eradicate those bandits who have caused disasters in the village!"

But Lu Yan was a little silent, he was thinking about another thing, "This group of people robbed the food of the people, and it was clear that they wanted to use the people to slow down our march. If they ignore it, Cao Jun finally accumulated A good reputation will be ruined once; if you accept this group of people, how can you bring so much food to support these people?"

Lu Yan never thought that this group of people would be so vicious that they would not even leave a grain of food to the people of Anyi.But now that the two sides are facing each other on the battlefield, it is understandable for the enemy to use all means to deal with him.

After hesitating for a while, Lu Yan said firmly to Huang Zhong: "The order will be passed on, only three days of food will be kept, and the rest will be distributed to the people."

Huang Zhong asked worriedly when he heard the words: "We don't have much food. If we distribute most of it to the people, how will we fight the next battle?"

"The rebels are still attacking the Yi clan. As long as we break the siege of the Yi clan as soon as possible, the food and grass will naturally be replenished." Lu Yan explained to Huang Zhong.

Huang Zhong thought for a while, and felt that although Lu Yan's choice was a bit risky, it was a good way to get the best of both worlds, so he clasped his fists and said, "Let's do it!"

After Huang Zhong left, Lu Yan ordered again: "Come here, go and invite the organizer who organized the people of Anyi to meet the army."

"Here!" The guard who was on standby at the door took the order and left.

......

Currently the largest family in Anyi is the Wei family, and Cai Yong was able to marry his daughter to Wei Zhongdao of the Wei family, which shows that the Wei family is a wealthy family that is right in line with the Cai family.

Wei Gu, who participated in the rebellion with Fan Xian, is the current head of the Wei family.

But Wei Gu's branch doesn't have much contact with Anyi Weike's branch, and even the two sides don't like each other a bit.

There are many branches of the aristocratic family, and there are not a few examples of each branch serving different forces.During the Three Kingdoms period, the Zhuge family represented by Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Jin, and Zhuge Dan who took refuge in Shu, Wei and Wu respectively, is the best example.

Wei Ke loves to study, matures early in his youth, is famous for his talent and learning, and his political vision is far-reaching, which is far beyond the comparison of Wei Gu, who brazenly launched a rebellion.

It was Wei Jiawei who organized the people outside Anyi City to welcome Lu Yan's army.

Before Cao Cao conscripted the guards, he worked from the county magistrate to the secretary and the censor.

Later, the old Cao ordered Wei to go to Yizhou as an envoy and asked Liu Zhang to send troops to contain Liu Biao, so as to prevent Liu Biao from sending troops to disturb the rear.

But when Wei Ke passed through Chang'an, he discovered that the road to Yizhou had been blocked, and he stayed in Guanzhong ever since.
