It was late at night, but the county government of Xinping County was brightly lit.

The county order of Xinping County is called Hou Fang, and it is a county order re-established by Wang Can after killing the original county commander Cui Zhen.

At that time, Wang Can frantically killed a group of people and used thunderous means to deter the big clans in Xinping County. However, Wang Can later gave enough benefits to support Hou Fang, the patriarch of the big family in the county, to serve as the county magistrate of Xinping County.

This marquis was appointed as the prefectural commander, and his heart was full of joy.

Previously, Wang Can won consecutive battles, and his soldiers were too strong, and he was the king of Shu in Yizhou.

Hou Fang was next to Wang Can's big tree, and he was smug in his heart, thinking that he would have a bright future in the future, and he was even more happy.

However, he had only been in office for a month, and Ma Teng led an army of 90,000 to kill, and Han Sui was among them, which made Hou Fang fearful. Ma Teng and Han Sui are both top figures in Xiliang, full of prestige, and the two of them led the troops together to kill, putting Hou Fang in a difficult situation.

Hou Fang is now Wang Can's man, but Ma Teng and Han Sui's 90,000 troops are approaching, and he can't stop it at all.

However, if he surrendered, and Wang Can led his troops back to kill him later, wouldn't he be killing himself.

Either way, Hou Fang has a hard time choosing.

At this time, Hou Fang was sitting in the hall, and Hou Fang's staff were sitting below.

Hou Fang sighed, with a dejected expression on his face, and said: "I thought that this official became the county commander of Xinping County, and it was my Hou family's ancestor who accumulated virtue to have today's benefits. But now that Ma Teng and Han Sui are leading an army of 90,000 to kill, we can't stop it at all! Alas, early tomorrow morning, if Ma Teng and Han Sui attack the city, it will definitely be unstoppable, and I will be in a different place after the city is broken. ”

Below, a chubby staff member said, "My lord, why don't we open the city and surrender?" ”

Hou Fang sighed again: "Of course I have considered this matter, but if the King of Shu leads his troops back again, what will we do?" ”

At this time, another clear-looking staff member said: "My lord, I also think that it is time to surrender, and there is only a way out if you surrender." ”

When Hou Fang heard this, his brows furrowed, and a puzzled expression appeared on his face.

He had just explained the reason, but there must be a reason why his staff insisted on surrendering. Hou Fang leaned forward slightly, and asked in a deep voice, "Sir, why teach me?" ”

The clear-looking staff member sat up straight, and said with a straight face: "We surrender Ma Teng now, and we will definitely get Ma Teng's consent." In this way, Ma Teng will not kill the adult, and the adult will be able to save his life. However, if the army of the King of Shu comes back, once the King of Shu defeats Ma Teng, and we throw ourselves to the King of Shu, we will directly tell the King of Shu that he is forced to surrender in desperation, but his heart is still thinking about the King of Shu, so that the position of the Lord can be preserved. ”

Hou Fang's brows furrowed, and a solemn expression appeared on his face.

Obviously, this is the practice of grass on the wall.

The chubby staff seemed to see through Hou Fang's thoughts, and continued: "My lord, if you want to start from the beginning, you must have enough strength. We have no troops, no weapons, and the walls of Tan Binh County are not strong enough. Therefore, the strength of Xinping County cannot stop Ma Teng, and we can only surrender. ”

After Hou Fang heard this, he sighed helplessly.

He looked up at the hall for a long time before he said, "Okay, early tomorrow morning, Kaesong surrenders!" ”

But the staff of Qingzhi said: "My lord, if you surrender, it is better to do it tonight." Only by rushing overnight can Ma Teng not take off the official position of an adult, and can he keep a useful body! ”

Hou Fang's face changed, if this is the case, it will be branded as Ma Teng.

Qingyi's staff said again: "If your Excellency is worried, you can also send credible henchmen to the direction of Wang Can's troops and inform Wang Can that Lord Wang Can is pretending to surrender." In this way, adults can gain both Ma Teng's trust and Wang Can's trust, no matter who wins, adults can be as stable as Mount Tai and can continue to gain trust. ”

"Good!"

When Hou Fang heard this, he immediately burst out laughing.

However, a trace of worry flashed in the eyes of the clear staff. Although such a move is good, once Ma Teng finds out about the situation, Hou Fang's fate will be very miserable.

Hou Fang didn't care about this, and said, "The two gentlemen go to rest, and I'll arrange it." ”

The chubby staff and the clear staff stood up, bowed to Hou Fang, and then turned to leave. Hou Fang also got up and went to write a letter, instructing his henchmen to wait for him to leave quietly when he left the city gate, and go to report the news.

Hou Fang summoned the officials and soldiers of Xinping County and left the county government in a grand manner.

After a short time, the group went out of the city gate and rushed towards Ma Teng and Han Sui's camp.

Because Han Sui and Ma Teng came continuously, they were also physically tired, so they did not send scouts to monitor the movements in Xinping County. In the eyes of Ma Teng and Han Sui, Xinping County is like a little ant that can be crushed to death at any time. Therefore, both of them went to bed early and did not continue to deal with official business.

When Hou Fang arrived at the camp with torches and moonlight, he was stopped outside by the soldiers patrolling the camp. The soldiers in the camp quickly gathered and surrounded Hou Fang and the others.

Hou Fang told the patrolling general about the surrender and asked the general to inform Ma Teng.

When the generals heard this, their hearts were overjoyed.

It would be best not to fight.

The general hurriedly woke up Ma Teng and told Ma Teng that the county order of Xinping County had come to surrender. Then, the general went to bring the people brought by Hou Fang to the Chinese army's big tent. Hou Fang and his entourage waited for about a quarter of an hour, and Ma Teng, Han Sui, Ma Chao, Yan Xing, Ma Xiu and other generals in the army all arrived, and they all stood up to Hou Fang, who came to surrender.

Hou Fang knew Ma Teng, and after seeing Ma Teng sitting down, he immediately bowed his head and said: "General Ma is coming with a large army, and we know that we are invincible, and we are willing to open the city and surrender, and invite General Ma to enter the city." ”

When Ma Teng heard this, his heart rejoiced.

However, he had a strong jealousy of Han Sui again.

Han Sui was so powerful, making him a little worried about whether he could suppress Han Sui.

However, this thought flashed in Ma Teng's mind, and he immediately appeased Hou Fang, reassuring Hou Fang that he would not use troops against Xinping County. After Ma Teng made a phone call, he asked Hou Fang to return to the city. He did not get carried away with joy and entered Xinping County directly overnight, but waited until tomorrow to go to Xinping County to take the army with him.

In this way, Ma Teng will not be in danger.

Hou Fang got Ma Teng's promise, and his heart was relieved and there was no worry. He returned to Xinping County in a happy mood, but after Ma Teng dismissed Han Sui and others, he left Ma Chao in the big tent.

At this moment, there are only Ma Chao and Ma Teng in the big tent.

Ma Chao asked, "Father, is there anything wrong?" ”

Ma Teng wanted to tell Ma Chao about Han Sui, but the two armies were allies, and he wanted to say it but felt inappropriate. In the end, Ma Teng waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, you go back, we will enter Xinping County tomorrow." ”

Ma Chao was puzzled and left with doubts.

Early the next morning, Ma Teng and Han Sui led their army to Xinping County, while Hou Fang Kaicheng surrendered.

After the army entered the city, Ma Teng immediately issued an order, asking Hou Fang to pull out all the people who fell to Wang Can and kill them all. As long as it was someone who fell to Wang Can, none of them survived.

This killing, and killing countless people.

A month ago, Wang Can slaughtered a group of people.

A month later, Ma Teng slaughtered another group of people.

In fact, Han Sui persuaded Ma Teng to let Ma Teng bring these people over and use them for their use. However, Ma Teng was wary of Han Sui in his heart, so naturally he would not agree. The more Han Sui persuaded him, the more he disagreed, so he killed countless people, making the people of Xinping County afraid of him.

After this incident, the clans of Xinping County were almost slaughtered.

As for the county commander, he was as stable as Mount Tai because of the advice of his staff, and there was no danger in the slightest.
