The high-ranking officials' faces gradually became gloomy as they listened to the discussions of these people.

Good guy, you have already started to be timid before Lu Yan’s army has arrived. If Lu Yan really leads the army to come, wouldn’t you surrender directly?

When they were in a good mood, they were all inspiring to give guidance to the country. Now, when they heard that Lu Yan was coming to fight them, they immediately began to shake. Before the battle, they didn't think about how to kill the enemy, but instead repeatedly shirked the responsibility. What big thing can such a team accomplish?

But the high-ranking officials thought again that their future and hope were now on this group of people. If they broke up with them, they would be over. Therefore, although the high-ranking officials are angry, they dare not get angry at them at will. If they scold people so much that they are so anxious that they will give up and stop, then they will really not be able to find a place to cry.

After taking a deep breath, the high gand slightly calmed down his anger and said in a gentle tone: "Everyone, Lu Yan wants to guard Bingzhou and come to Hedong County to fight us. His troops and supplies will definitely not be too much.

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

The words of high-ranking officials were like a shot of a heart-warming injection, which greatly encouraged the rebels.

But at this time, someone said, "Yishi is also a big city. The city is strong and I am afraid it will not be able to be captured for a while. And behind us, Du Ji's army comes out to harass us from time to time. It is probably difficult to capture Yishi County!"

This person’s worries are not unreasonable.

Upon hearing this, the high-ranking cadre looked at his most powerful general Zhang Baiqi and asked, "Can General Zhang take down Yi quickly?"

"???" Zhang Baiqi was stunned by the sudden question from the senior officials, and was stopped for a while.

He is doing his job in robbing the house, killing people and setting fires; he really has no idea about planning the meticulous work of the war situation...

It took him several days to conquer the weak defenders in Dongyuan before. Now, there are still 10,000 defenders in Yi family, plus Du Ji, who is fighting guerrillas outside...

"This..." After thinking for a while, Zhang Baiqi's mind was still blank... With no choice, he could only look at Fan Xian and Wei Gu who had contacted him to do big things before, and asked, "Two gentlemen, do you have a way to break the city?"

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

Aren’t this special cat’s senior official asking you, why did you ask us the other way around?

Besides, you have no choice, and we really have no choice!

The high-ranking official looked at the three people who kept silent in front of him, and was so angry that he wanted to laugh.

When we met just now, these people were all bragging, as if everyone was reincarnated by Lu Yan and reborn by Lu Bu... Now, when we just encountered a problem that was not too big, we were full of empty minds. We were really a bunch of people who could only speak and not do things.

The high kid's chest was fluctuating violently, and he kept reminding himself in his heart: "I still need their troops... bear it, bear it again! Bear it!!!"

After suppressing the anger in his heart again, the high-ranking official still tried his best to maintain a steady tone and said, "No matter what, we have to speed up the marching. We must take down the Yi family as soon as possible and further capture the entire Hedong territory. At that time, we will stick to the city and wait for Hongnong's reinforcements to arrive, Lu Yan will have no choice but to take over!"

Zhang Baiqi, Fan Xian and Wei Gu really had no other choice but to nod and agreed to the arrangement of the high-ranking official. It is another way to say whether to destroy the city or not. You have to arrive under the city first, right?

But now another problem arises, so Wei Gu said, "There is still a rugged mountain road ahead, and Du Ji may 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 selfish mind is fully exposed.

"Or why should we wait for the news of Hongnong's friendly army? If reinforcements from Hongnong's side could arrive, Yi would definitely be able to capture it!" Wei Gu said suddenly.

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

"What do you think you should do?"

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

As these people talked, they began to sneer again.

Zhang Baiqi couldn't stand it anymore and was unwilling to take the lead. He couldn't let the five thousand elite cavalrymen of the high-ranking officials go? His cavalry had to be kept for Lu Yan.

"General of the chariot and cavalry, the last general is willing to be a vanguard and open the way for the army!" In the end, Zhang Baiqi took over everything...

The high-ranking officials breathed a sigh of relief. This group of powerful families was even worse than the leader of the Yellow Turban. Don’t you feel ashamed?

However, when Fan Xian, Wei Gu and others heard that Zhang Baiqi volunteered to explore the way as a pioneer, they all breathed a sigh of relief, let alone shame, if he and Zhang Baiqi were not here, they might have to applaud and celebrate...

Zhang Baiqi's strength should be one of the top existences among all rebel forces. Their weapons and armor may not be as good as the army controlled by the powerful families, but whether it is combat experience or courage, these Yellow Turban Army have to throw out these master soldiers.

......

At the same time, Xu Huang is already the last day of the three-day siege.

It’s just a pity that Lu Yan used up all the explosives brought to Jizhou, and it was too late to mobilize them from Chenliu... Otherwise, it wouldn’t be so difficult to get the explosives there.

Two days ago, Xu Huang always maintained a catapult bombing three times a day in the morning, noon and evening. After the bombing, he forced the city to siege without any impact.

Moreover, when soldiers attack the city, they will inevitably have drums, trumpets, and shouts of killing. It seems that even if they cannot break through the city, they must suppress their opponents in terms of momentum.

Huguan City, the county magistrate's mansion.

The county magistrate's mansion is far away from the city wall where Cao's army attacked the city, and it is just right to avoid flying stones.

After understanding the path of Cao's army in the past two days, Xia Zhao would come to the county magistrate's mansion in advance to wait.

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

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

Hearing Xia Zhao's question, the personal guards waiting outside quickly ran in and replied: "Report to General, it's Chen Shi San!"

When Xia Zhao heard that it was already three times, he was surprised and said, "It's already so late?"

Then, Xia Zhao murmured to himself: "Why is there no movement in the Cao army today?"

Just when Xia Zhao was wondering why Cao Jun’s catapult had not yet moved today,

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

The messenger ran and shouted, and when he ran into the hall, he accidentally tripped his left foot and his right foot. He threw a dog to eat with a "thump".

Xia Zhao strode up, picked up the messenger and said, "Tell me quickly, what happened?"

"Cao...Cao...Cao army, attacking the city!!!"

"What did you say???"
