East County Town...

On the city wall, the flags were waving, fluttering in the wind, and many soldiers stood on the passage of the city wall, with a serious look on their faces, looking straight out of the city.

There is an enemy they have to face.

Now Cao Cao is also dressed in military uniform, and he walked up to the city wall with a group of subordinates.

Beside him, there were Xi Zhicai, Cao Hong, Cao Ren, Li Dian and others, as for Xiahoudun, Xiahouyuan, Le Jin, Cheng Yu and others, they were sent to the rest of the city wall.

After all, there are four gates, all of which are surrounded by enemy troops, and the rest of the city also needs to be defended by generals.

And the army in front of Cao Cao was the soldiers and horses led by Zhang Baiqi.

Looking at the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses outside the city without any formation, scattered soldiers.

Cao Cao didn't have any relaxed expression, his face was tense, because there were five hundred Yellow Turban Armor Warriors among them, and he had personally experienced the benefits and disadvantages of Yellow Turban Armor.

If it was just those tens of thousands of troops, even if there were still Zhang Miao and Liu Dai, how could he stay in the city and not be able to hold out.

Don't dare to fight.

Originally, when the imperial court was recruiting talents, it also mixed some good reputations, and also recruited some people, but when Chen Liu, several people died in the chaos.

I also felt a little angry in my heart.

He didn't expect that Zhang Miao and Liu Dai, who were also courtiers of the imperial court, would unite with Zhang Baiqi and suddenly make a move on him, leaving him with no time to react.

At the time of the news.

Chenliu has been occupied, and Xiahoudun, who was originally stationed in Chenliu, returned with injuries, and only more than 1,000 of the 5,000 soldiers returned.

If it weren't for the five hundred Yellow Turban Armorers under Zhang Baiqi's command, even if there was no time to react, there would not have been such a loss, at least the loss would not be so big, but it would have lost Chen Liu.

Why was he besieged in the city, and did not dare to go out of the city to fight?

Although Zhang Baiqi, Zhang Miao, and Liu Dai combined with more soldiers and horses than him, they were not without a chance of winning.

He still has enough confidence in the soldiers under his command, not to mention the existence of generals such as Xiahou Yuan, which is enough to deal with the coalition of Zhang Baiqi.

And Zhang Baiqi's identity, he is also suspicious, Zhang Jiao's matter, he can't say that he knows it clearly, but he is also very familiar.

What's more, when Zhang Jiao died, he was in Guangzong.

Zhang Jiao only had 300 Yellow Turban Armor soldiers at that time, and some of them had been killed during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and there were less than 300 people left in the end.

"Lord, Zhang Baiqi outside the city is really Zhang Jiao's descendant?" Xi Zhicai asked.

He was not familiar with Zhang Baiqi who suddenly appeared, and Zhang Baiqi was still under the banner of the Yellow Turban, and he was also guarded by the Yellow Turban Armor.

Even if he knows something, he has to doubt that this is true.

"No, as far as I know, Zhang Jiao has no descendants, and his two brothers, Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang, were also killed in battle during the Yellow Turban Rebellion!" Cao Cao said affirmatively.

"What about the Yellow Turban Armor under his command?"

Hear this.

Cao Cao also frowned.

After Zhang Jiao died, the rest of the Yellow Turban Armor went there, he didn't know it, but it was clear that those Yellow Turban Armor were taken away by Qu Shuai, a member of Zhang Jiao's command, and there was also the Yellow Turban Army in Guangzong City.

If it was Zhang Jiao's original Yellow Turban Armor, then that Qu Shuai would definitely be there.

can be said no, Zhang Baiqi has a yellow turban armor, and he also carries the banner of a yellow scarf, which makes it a little difficult to guess.

But now is not the time to dwell on this.

Besides, after Zhang Jiao's death, he promised Qin Yin some things.

In the absence of any special circumstances, he is still relatively honest in this regard, and now he still has a friendship with Qin Yin, not an enemy.

It's just that some people don't approve of Qin Yin's approach.

Come to think of it.

Cao Cao changed the topic and said: "No matter what Zhang Baiqi's identity is, since the war has already started, then he is the enemy, but Zhicai, do you really have no strategy to retreat from the enemy?" ”

"No, for some reason, the ability of my subordinates seems to be suppressed, and they can't play at all, otherwise even if there is a Yellow Turban Armor, it may not be impossible to go out of the city to fight head-on!" Xi Zhicai shook his head with a wry smile.

The reason why I want to know whether Zhang Baiqi is Zhang Jiao's descendant is that I just want to figure out one thing.

And he knows his own ability, if he doesn't suppress it and goes out of the city to confront the enemy head-on, he has ninety percent certainty in his heart that he can defeat the enemy.

This is also the most aggrieved thing for him.

The ability of one body, in addition to wisdom, is now untenable, for some reason, it can't be used.

Not only him, but even the rest of the strategists, such as Cheng Yu, are the same, as if they are natural enemies of something.

If you use hard action, you will be directly weakened, as if all your essence and energy have been drained.

Hear the words.

Cao Cao also shook his head helplessly.

He also knows about this matter, after all, he has been surrounded by groups for two days, and this will only affect the strategists, not the performance of the generals.

If even the generals can influence, then they can just give up.

Seeing that Cao Cao did not speak.

"Lord, why don't you send someone to ask for help!" Xi Zhicai proposed.

If he could, he didn't want to make such a suggestion, since he joined Cao Cao's command, he was reused by Cao Cao, but he didn't do anything big.

Now that I am in trouble, I can't come up with a good plan.

But in today's situation, the only way to go is to ask for help, and it has to be done.

"Asking for help?" Cao Cao smiled bitterly, "Liu Biao of Jingzhou? Tao Qian in Xuzhou? Or Liu Bei of the Plains? ”

Hearing Cao Cao's questioning、。

Xi Zhicai was also silent.

Dongjun had been surrounded for two days, and Chen Liu had already been occupied before, so it was impossible for these people not to know.

However.

The men didn't make any moves.

However, according to the current situation in the Central Plains, this is also an inevitable thing, and it is already the best thing if you don't fall into the ground, let alone think about support.

The only thing you can rely on is yourself.

"Lord, they're ready to attack!"

At this time, Cao Hong on the side reminded.

Saw.

In the large camp not far from the city, the assembled soldiers and horses, under the leadership of Zhang Baiqi, slowly approached the city wall.

Looking at this situation, it is not like before, only besieged.

"Get the soldiers ready!" Cao Cao commanded.

It was because he knew that Zhang Baiqi and others had gathered soldiers and horses that he walked up to the city wall, preparing to fight the enemy with the soldiers, instead of hiding in the city and waiting for the result.

That's not his style.
