Who is the ancestor?

Xin Ping said that he definitely didn't know.

"My ancestor Dai Feng was once the county magistrate in Xihua. During his tenure, locust plagues did not come, drought plagues were not invaded, and the people in the area were safe. Later, he became Taichang and held the etiquette of the country. As a descendant of my ancestors, I should follow the steps of my ancestors and be the commander of Xihua. He wanted to protect a county in Xihua. However, Yuan Shao colluded with Liu Chong and planned to split the land and proclaim himself emperor. I would not ignore the expectations of the people in the county!"

Xin Ping calmed down. He didn't care who Dai Qi's ancestor was, but from Dai Qi's words, he realized one thing: Dai Qi did not rebel suddenly, but had been planning for a long time.

However, he is just a county magistrate. Is he really so capable?

Behind him, there should be someone who supports him to store grain and grass in Xihua. At least he can't make the decision, and even his Xin brothers can't make the decision.

Several people suddenly flashed through Xin Ping's mind. Who is qualified to be the master? Obviously, the master of the ruling school has the authority to engage in Fengji, not Guo Tu, or the chief clerk Chen Lin.

There is another person!

Xin Ping's eyes tightened and he thought of a more likely character.

Huang Wan, the governor of Yuzhou!

In his opinion, although Huang Wan was not the governor of Yuzhou and nominally surrendered to Yuan Shao, Huang Wan has always been committed to political affairs, personally led troops to eliminate bandits, quelled rebellions everywhere, and also built water conservancy and encouraged production. Huang Wan was the first contribution to this year's bumper harvest!

"Is it Huang Wan?"

Xin Ping directly revealed this name, and Dai Qi looked at him in surprise, looking surprised.

Xin Ping knew that he had guessed correctly. It turned out that this rebel man was so deep that his lord was trapped in Ruyang City, and Huang Wan was also in Ruyang City, and I don’t know if it would be unfavorable to his lord.

Unfortunately, I was imprisoned and could not escape, and no news could be heard.

Those idiots outside the city, seeing that Xihua has changed, why don’t they enter the city?

Outside Xihua City, the soldiers brought by Xin Pi still surrounded the city gate. Yang Chou shouted to open the city gate and handed over Xin Ping. The garrisoning power of the Chengtou County soldiers was actually very average. Although they knew that this move was very dangerous and would even pay the price of their lives, they still chose to follow the magistrate of County Dai.

Time gradually passed, and two hours later, Yang Chou planned to stop waiting. In a small county, only amateur county magistrates were guarding it, so Yang Chou was naturally confident of attacking it.

His fierce eyes swept across the city, because he had to guard several gates, only the sparse county soldiers could be seen on the city.

"Attack, save Xin!" Yang Chou ordered.

Yang Choubing, who was already ready, rushed to the Xihua City Wall with a ladder, set up the ladder and began to climb upwards. Then the county soldiers fought back, stones and wood fell one after another, and the battle of Xihua began.

Yang Chou knew very well that the soldiers of Xihua County held their breath. As long as the breath dissipated, they would be defeated without attacking.

After the battle lasted for a quarter of an hour, Dai Qi's figure appeared on the top of the city and shouted at Yang Chou: "Yang Chou, do you know what you are doing? If you are accomplicing Yuan, you will die without a place to bury!"

After hearing this, Yang Chou laughed: "Okay, I want to see, Xiao County Magistrate, what can I do to me! Shoot me an arrow!"

After saying that, dozens of arrows flew towards the top of the city, making Dai Qi dodge repeatedly, and eventually had to lean behind the female wall.

"Hahaha!" Yang Chou was proud, "Go on!"

However, before he could finish his words, a loud sound of hoofs suddenly came from afar.

Yang Chou rang out his voice and saw a cavalry, thousands of people, galloping towards him quickly, with the banner he held was "high".

"Hahaha!" Yang Chou burst out a louder voice, "It's the high-ranking general! It seems that you, Dai Qi, are rebellious and think that your lord will not surrender quickly when you find out!"

Dai Qi, who was hiding behind the female wall, heard that it was a high-ranking official and immediately poked his head out to check. Sure enough, he saw a cavalry with the "high" flag quickly.

"Not good!" Dai Qi sighed inwardly. The ability of high-ranking officials to arrive here so quickly means that the high-ranking officials set out before he attacked Xin Ping. There is only one possibility of this situation, that is, Huang Envoy has been exposed, so Yuan Shao took the initiative.

"I didn't expect it, but I failed!"

"Don't panic in the county lord, we are with the city and will never retreat!" said the county lord.

As he said that, a Yuan army rushed up, and the county magistrate immediately drew his sword to meet him. After the county soldiers stabbed him, he added a sword.

Dai Qi looked at the cavalry getting closer and closer, but as the cavalry got closer, Dai Qi felt something was wrong. Why did these cavalry carry shields?

Is there an army of shields under Yuan Shao?

In my impression, it seems that there is no.

In addition, the direction of the cavalry charge is not right. Although the direction towards Xihua County is generally not bad, they are clearly Yang Chou’s army in front!

Dai Qi's thoughts were fast and his eyes lit up. This was not a high-ranking official at all! It was Gao Shun, the prefect of Yingchuan!

Finally, waiting is coming!

The time Huang Envoy calculated was really appropriate.

Yang Chou still said inappropriate words, but after hearing these words, Dai Qi said that there was no fluctuation in his heart and even wanted to laugh.

Yang Chou, who didn't know the truth, still shouted proudly, no different from the clown.

Until the rumbling sound of horse hooves sounded in his ears, Yang Chou looked back at the "high-ranking officials" and the cavalry had already rushed into Yang Chou's army.

Yang Chou's army was just a food and grass guard. Faced with the charge of armored cavalry, the formation collapsed in an instant, and the infantry that had been knocked down flew everywhere. Seeing this, the infantry outside scattered. Yang Chou felt choked for a moment when he saw this.

"this……"

No matter how stupid he is, he knows that this is not a high-ranking army.

But Gao Shunjun.

"Come to fight! Climb the array to fight!" Yang Chou shouted and ordered, but he tied the reins and led the horse to the other side. He still used a whip to beat the escaped infantry, "Go and fight, the violators will be killed!"

With more than a thousand food and grass guards and three thousand soldiers in the camp, Yang Chou's army was almost suspenseful and swept the face by Gao Shunjun.

There was no need to turn the horse's head and carry out a second charge. Gao Shun stood simply under the city, looking at the city gate. A wooden board was nailed above the city gate, and the words "Xihua" were carved on it.

"General Gao Shun, Xihua County Magistrate Dai Qi, has been a long time!" Dai Qi finished speaking and quickly urged the county magistrate beside him, "Open the city gate!"

Gao Shun looked at the battlefield again, and the bodies were lying in a row, with endless grief and screams. Many people were not dead, and some could barely leave, so they supported them in groups of three or three to escape, and the escaped ones had already fled far away.

As the city gate slowly opened, Dai Qi also appeared at the city gate.

"General, please come in!"

"I'm sorry, Dai County!"

Gao Shun returned the gift and brought several generals into the city, while the army of the army cleaned up the battlefield outside the city. Dai Qi was quick-minded and pulled the county magistrate and asked him to take people out to help.

The two then arrived at the county government. When Gao Shun appeared in front of Xin Ping, Xin Ping was silent.

After fighting with Bohai King many times, Gao Shun naturally recognized that Gao Shun's appearance here means that Yang Chou outside the city has been resolved.

How is it possible! How can Gao Shun appear here?

Aren’t the high-ranking officials stopping him?

Xin Ping thought about it very terrified. Could it be that the high-ranking officials also rebelled? After all, the Gao family of Chenliu has always been in Liu Qing's territory.

"Mr. Zhongzhi, my king has something to tell me. If Xin is willing to turn back and break with Yuan, my king can be refusal to the past and be gentle. If he is obsessed with it, he will be punished with the Yuan family!"

The words "The same crime as Yuan" hit Xin Ping's heart hard, causing him a lot of chest tightness, and he raised his family's pressure to push the task man out of his hand. It was not so easy, and Xin Ping was the same.

Especially after he knew more of the truth.

Zhang Liao marched and blocked Ruyang, Gao Shun crossed the high-ranking defense line and directly captured Xihua County, the granary of the granary would undoubtedly allow Gao Shun and Zhang Liao's army to completely gain a foothold in Ruyang and focus on attacking Ruyang.

Although the consequences are serious, Xin Ping still said stubbornly: "If the lord is defeated, he will die, so there is no need to say much!"

Gao Shun waved his hand, "Take it down and take it! The lord will deal with these people. All we have to do is to catch him and see the lord."

Dai Qi waved his hand and dragged Xin Ping away from the two county officials.

"General, how should the subordinates cooperate with the general next?" Dai Qi asked.

"First collect some carriages and send the food to General Zhang Liao, and then order people to build cloud ladders, well railings and other things. Ruyang City is strong. If you force an attack, there will be many casualties."

"Secretary, let's make arrangements!"

The battle between Xihua Primary School was settled, and Gao Shun stood in the county hall, looked east and carefully, and when he recalled the high-ranking officials, he couldn't help but think about it.

Did he turn a blind eye for Gao? Or did he perform his duties conscientiously and intend to cut off Gao Shun's retreat?

...

"Bang!"

The huge rock fell and hit Yuan Jun's head hard. The sharp and heavy stone immediately opened Yuan Jun's head and fell down from the city with soft hands.

"The water is boiling! The water is boiling!"

Someone shouted at the top of the city, and immediately someone took a wooden barrel and scooped a full bucket of boiling water, and immediately poured it out of the battlements.

A squirrel of white mist swept down from the top of the city and spread out. Several screams came immediately. Although the armor was wrapped, it was exposed to the outside hands, face and other parts. When it touched boiling water, it instinctively retracted. The weapons could not be held and the ladder could not be held. The remaining rationality made them dare not move rashly. They seemed to be able to do nothing except roar.

Similar scenes happened almost all over the city.

Yuan Shujun tentatively launched an attack at the North Gate, and Li Feng was responsible for the offensive.

The tentative attack made Yuan Shu's army feel like it was a big blow. Lu Kang's city defense was extremely tight. In addition to crossbows, stones and wood, Lu Kang also prepared tinder oil and set up a pot to boil water at the top of the city. Faced with a lesser attack, he used simple boiling water to repel it. After all, stones and wooden blocks were made of one piece, one piece less.

The water that boils water is not ordinary water, it contains filth, saliva, and even goes directly into the inside.

Boiling water has other benefits. Burning completely firewood, soaking it in boiling water and throwing it off the city will produce many squint eyes, which will hinder Yuan Jun's breathing below, and even burning away the ash left behind, and can also be raised toward the city, which will fascinate Yuan Jun's eyes.

In order to defend the city, Lu Kang was also making the best use of everything. Before the enemy's large-scale offensive was launched, he would delay it if he could delay it.

Lu Kang came to the city head in person and looked at Yuan Shujun under the city calmly.

"Mr. Fu, there is bad news. Yuan Shu has already divided his troops to go south and cut off our retreat ahead of time. There are still defenders in the southern counties, but the number is not large, so I am afraid I cannot stop it. Moreover, the leader is Qiao Rui."
