The afternoon sunshine did not arrive as expected.
It was still snowing today.
The snow outside Huaxia City was as thick as a calf.
It had been snowing heavily for several days.
Guo Jia stood on the tower of the south gate, looking into the distance with a telescope.
There was no movement at this time, but his expression was very heavy.
It seemed that nothing good had happened.
He put down the telescope and said to the guard: "Should you inform the commander that there is trouble in Huaxia City and ask him to return early?"
The guard immediately said: "We have been notified, but we have not received a response."
To send a telegram, someone needs to receive it.
If no one receives it, the signal will disappear.
Why Guo Jia was so anxious was because just in the morning Huaxia City received news that the Black Mountain Army had set up camp fifty miles away, claiming that Zhang Yan had come to Huaxia City with an army of 300,000 people in command.
"Continue sending.
I think the commander is on the march at the moment and has no time to receive the telegram."
This is indeed the case in reality.
Only when Qingcang's army stops will the intelligence personnel receive the telegram, and it will probably be at night when it stops.
It is quite normal for you not to receive telegrams.
But when the matter became urgent, Guo Jia had no choice but to ask intelligence personnel to use intensive reporting methods, perhaps to get in touch with Qingcang.
Now he could only pray that Qing Cang would stop and receive the telegram.
"We'll send it again."
Regarding this situation, Guo Jia was also very helpless.
He murmured: "I hope the commander can reach Huaxia City before the arrival of the Han army and Qiang Hu army.
In that case, our Huaxia City will not be in danger."
"Counsel Guo, there is another news."
At this time, an intelligence officer came from the side, holding a piece of paper in her hand, which contained the latest telegram news.
Guo Jia unfolded it and frowned even more.
What is written above is obviously very unfavorable to Huaxia City.
There is no general in the entire Huaxia City to play a leading role.
Only Guo Jia can preside over the defense.
It is really unsustainable to just defend and attack.
Although he was good at strategizing, Qing Cang still had to come to arrange the troops.
If Zhao Zilong or Zhang Liao were here now, the situation might be better.
His performance made the dozen or so people present fearful.
Finally someone couldn't help but asked: "Consultant Guo, what are you talking about?"
Guo Jiacai said: "The two hundred thousand Qiang and Hu troops are coming from the west.
At the same time, Dong Zhuo and Huangfu Song are coming from the east with one hundred thousand troops each.
They will arrive in less than a day.
I hope the commander can arrive before tomorrow.
Rush to Huaxia City, otherwise whether our city can hold on for one day is a matter of debate."
The people below screamed.
“What they did was two days sooner than expected” "No way, didn't you say nine days?
It's only been six days now.
Is our information wrong?"
"No, it's not that our intelligence is wrong, it's that the enemy is too cunning."
People began to discuss it, and they all expressed surprise.

Someone asked: "They obviously wanted a quick victory, so they came so quickly.
Staff Guo, what should we do?"
Guo Jiadao: "Defense is only defense, we have no means of attack."
It is difficult for a wise woman to make a meal without rice.
He has no powerful generals at hand, only a large number of soldiers, and the only way to go is defense.
Everyone was in an uproar.
"this"
Since the enemies are coming, he cannot sit still and wait for death, so Guo Jia said: "Go down and distribute the trebuchets and ballista carts built in the past few days to the four city gates, and prepare the stones. " This is probably all he can do now, hoping to rely on the good performance of the trebuchet to keep the enemy outside and unable to attack.
As for being able to withstand several waves of attacks, that's another matter.
He suddenly remembered something and said: "By the way, send another telegram back and say, I guess Dong Zhuo will attack the east gate with only 100,000 troops.
I hope it can give the commander some help."
His intention is very obvious, that is, if the Chinese army from outside comes back and goes directly to the east gate, leaving behind Dong Zhuo, who has only 100,000 troops.
In that case, if they are defeated one by one, maybe Huaxia City can really survive.
"Also, the news that the commander is not in the city must not be spread."
If the Montenegrin Army knew about this, the consequences would be disastrous.
They might attack directly instead of being camped fifty miles away.
As for why they were so far away, they were probably afraid that they would be blown up if they got too close, so they had to station their troops fifty miles away.
This comes from the fear of Qing Cang, and Sun Qing is a good example.
The guards said "yes" and then went down to make arrangements.
Guo Jia has a Qing Cang demeanor when it comes to arranging personnel.
He arranges what everyone needs to do in an orderly manner.
He said: "Minister Wang" Wang Zongwei said: "Counsel Guo, I'm here."
He asked: "What is the current progress of the machines that the commander requested to produce?"
Wang Zongwei responded: "Currently, 50,000 people have been invested in the production of trebuchets and other large weapons.
We can produce 300 trebuchets, 500 ballista carts, 50 city assault vehicles, and 100 reapers a day."
"That's great.
I hope we can produce more of them so that we can maintain our firepower and keep the enemy at bay."
"I hope so."
"Minister Yang."
Yang Zizong responded: "Here" "From now on, you will be responsible for the strength of all city wall buildings, repairing what needs to be repaired, and repairing what needs to be repaired."
"Yes, I'll deal with it right away."
He arranged these to be prepared to face the enemy.
The so-called preparation for a rainy day was nothing more than that.
After Yang Zizong left, Guo Jiadao: "My eyes are a little tired.
Please take a look at the surrounding situation for me."
He put down the telescope, and as soon as he finished speaking, he entered the tower and went to rest.
He hadn't slept much in the past few days.
He was very important now.
He could be said to be the supreme commander of the entire Huaxia City.
Of course, this was only when Qing Cang was not present. under the circumstances.
According to the current intelligence, the Montenegrin Army will not come to actively attack in a short period of time.
They should wait for the other two parties to arrive before launching a general attack, so he boldly went to rest.
The entire Huaxia City has begun to take action.
A large number of soldiers are busy placing trebuchets and other equipment behind the city gate, sending ballista carts to the city wall, and placing reapers outside the moat.
After receiving the news, some people even came to petition outside the main city, hoping to coexist with Huaxia City.

They also wanted to do something for Huaxia City.
But what can they do?
It seems that they can't do much.
Fighting is definitely not possible, except for some physical work, so Guo Jia arranged for these people to prepare stones and transfer them to each city gate.
These stones are the trebuchets.
Ammunition, it can't be done without them
