Seeing that the victims were preparing to use giant trees to attack the city, Dahong County Magistrate Guan Yunzhi couldn't help but be anxious.

"The inspector, the victims attacked the city, what should we do next?"

Zhao Yan pondered for a moment and said, "Do you know that the 20,000 Shence troops responsible for suppressing Hongya's army have arrived in Jinzhou, and are currently only more than a hundred miles away from Dahong County."

"Yeah." Guan Yunzhi nodded, "I just don't know why the Shence Army didn't launch an attack?"

Zhao Yan did not answer Guan Yunzhi's question, but said directly: "Twenty thousand Shen Ce troops are relatively sufficient, so it should be no problem to support these two thousand people for seven or eight days. Within eight days, the prefecture should be able to send people to deliver food. While the Shen Ce troops were delivering food, one thousand Shen Ce troops stayed in Dahong County. Then these victims would definitely not dare to cause trouble, and the crisis would be resolved!"

"It is indeed a good idea to raise the victims of military rations, plus a thousand Shen Ce troops stationed to prevent chaos, but it is impossible for us to mobilize the Shen Ce troops?" Guan Yunzhi said with a crying face.

"This time, the military commander Yang Hong was the one who led the Shence Army. Don't say we are asking for help. Even if the magistrate is in front of him, he will not be able to transfer his soldiers away!" Li Zhuan Li added.

Zhao Yan thrust his chest and said, "Since I have proposed this idea, I can do it naturally, so you don't have to worry. But when they arrive, it may be noon tomorrow at the earliest."

Just then, a rough voice came from below.

"Listen to the officers and soldiers above, if we don't open the city gate and let us in within a quarter of an hour, we will attack us!"

Zhao Yan, Guan Yunzhi, Li Zhubu, and the three of them stood by the city wall at the same time and looked down.

I saw a middle-aged man about seven feet tall but very thin, holding an axe in his hand and looking up at the city tower.

It is him who is the speaker.

"Tell him that by noon tomorrow, not only will he have food to eat, but he can also enter the city!" Zhao Yan said to Guan Yunzhi.

Guan Yunzhi coughed dryly, then leaned his head to the bottom and said, "Brother, I am Guan Yunzhi, the magistrate of Dahong County. I have come up with a way to resettle you. I will ensure that you have food to eat and can enter the city until noon tomorrow."

The middle-aged man holding the axe turned his eyes and raised his head and said, "Do you think we are fools? You must be asking for reinforcements from other places. This is a delaying strategy, right? The purpose is to get rid of us all. Although I have never read a book, I have heard from the scholars about the Three Kingdoms and have heard many times!"

Guan Yunzhi was speechless and suddenly didn't know how to reply.

These people have been cheated by the government too many times and do not trust them at all.

Guan Yunzhi looked at Zhao Yan helplessly.

Zhao Yan smiled faintly and said, "Just say you will go outside the city as a hostage. If the food is not arrived tomorrow and they will not be able to enter the city, let them take your life."

"Ah? The official thinks it is better to be a hostage for the inspector. After all, you are a high official!" Guan Yunzhi said with little confidence.

Zhao Yan looked at him squintly and said, "Are you sure you let me go?"

"Forget it... Forget it, or..., Master Li, how about you go as a hostage?" Guan Yunzhi turned to look at Master Li.

Li Zhubu's head was shaking like a wave drum, and he said, "Sir, I still think you are more suitable. Only you can represent Dahong County."

Guan Yunzhi sighed and said, "I am not unable to go!"

He looked at Zhao Yan again and asked again: "Sir, you are sure that before noon tomorrow, the Shence Army will definitely arrive in Dahong County."

Zhao Yan smiled slightly and said confidently: "Maybe it will be before noon!"

"good!"

Guan Yunzhi slapped his chest and said to Zhao Yan: "Sir, if you have an accident, please be sure to apply for some allowances in the court. I have a 70-year-old mother, an eight-year-old daughter, and a beautiful wife, all of whom need to be taken care of!"

"Don't worry, there will be no problem." Zhao Yan patted Guan Yunzhi on the shoulder and said, "This magistrate is a good magistrate, but he is a little timid."

Guan Yunzhi looked at the city and whispered loudly again: "If you don't believe it, I would like to sit with you as hostages. Tomorrow at noon, if there is no food and you cannot enter the city gate, you can kill me!"

"You have to think clearly that if you wait until the city gate is wide open and enter, you will be a victim. If you break open the city gate, you will be a thief!" Guan Yunzhi said immediately.

The big man holding the axe thought for a moment, then discussed with the few people around him, and then whispered: "We will believe you once, you can come down!"

Guan Yunzhi's expression seemed to be a loss of his parents. He reminded Zhao Yan again: "Sir, it depends on you whether the emperor can survive!"

Zhao Yan: "Don't worry, I have sent someone out!"

Soon, a gap was opened in the city gate, and Guan Yunzhi walked out in his official uniform.

Although he was very afraid at this moment, he could not be afraid when facing the people.

Therefore, he walked out with his chest up and eight steps.

After a moment, Heiwa came to Zhao Yan.

"All done?" Zhao Yan asked.

Heiwa nodded and said, "Don't worry, young master, before noon tomorrow, the Thousand Shence Army will definitely bring a large amount of food to the county town of Dahong County."

Immediately, Zhao Yan went to a room on the city tower to rest.

Although this time, the Shen Ce Army was used to rescue him, which was a way to treat the symptoms but not the root cause, it was also temporarily alleviated the crisis.

The way to cure the root cause is probably to make God rain heavily.

The next day, it was dawn.

After Zhao Yan finished washing, he walked out of the house on the city tower. He looked down and couldn't help but feel happy.

Outside the city gate, the county magistrate Guan Yunzhi sat cross-legged among the victims, and more than a dozen big men gathered around him, fearing that he would leave.

At this moment, Guan Yunzhi's stomach had already screamed seven or eight times.

He didn't eat last night and has been through until now.

These victims basically dig some wild vegetables from the surrounding woods and then make soup. Although they can't get hungry, they can finally get enough water.

A moment later, the middle-aged man who had been holding an axe walked to Guan Yunzhi, holding a large porcelain bowl with a gap in his hand, which was filled with clear soup and water, and three green vegetable leaves were floating.

"Mr. County Magistrate, do you drink?"

When Guan Yunzhi saw that there was still some dust on the edge of the bowl, he couldn't help but shake his head and said, "I am not hungry yet!"

Hululu! Hulululu!

As soon as he finished speaking, the middle-aged man drank the wild vegetable soup clean and even licked the edge of the bowl.

Gulu! Gulu!

At the same time, Guan Yunzhi's stomach rang out in a bad mood. He covered his stomach, looked up at the sky and said, "Today, it's another sunny day!"
