Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 513 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 a little unreasonable in his heart.
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 murmured 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 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 lie in ambush on the path that Cao Jun must pass."

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.

"Indeed. They sacrificed their lives to intercept Cao Jun. We should also show some real strength. 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." In a few days, there will be dawn!"

"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 protection 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.
