Beiqiu County, set up in the Western Han Dynasty, the county seat is not big, belongs to a small county, according to the Eastern Han Dynasty county standards, more than 10,000 households of the county configuration of a county order, below a county Cheng, in charge of the county's civil affairs, documents, warehouses, etc., and then configure two county lieutenants, in charge of the county's security defense, and the county below 10,000 households, only a county magistrate, no county order, and then configure a county and county lieutenant.

Beiqiu County is a small county town with less than 10,000 households, and there are not even 4,000 households.

On average, it is estimated that there are five people in a household, and there are only 20,000 people in Beiqiu County.

Beiqiu County is weak and difficult to resist Wang Lei's army, and it is precisely because of this that the county magistrate is even more worried.

County office, hall.

The county magistrate of Beiqiu County sat on the main seat, and on the left and right sides below sat the county magistrate and the county lieutenant, and the rest of the chief bookkeeper, Gong Cao, thief Cao and other large and small officials sat down, and everyone gathered.

The group of people lowered their heads and did not speak, and the expressions on their faces were very solemn.

The county magistrate coughed lightly, let the officials in the hall come back to their senses, and said slowly: "Everyone, Wang Lei led his troops into Qinghe Country and sent people to publicize that if we resist his army, once we break through Beiqiu County, all the officials who resist, regardless of the size of their official positions, will be killed, not only that, but even the people of the official's family will be killed, what do you think about this matter!" ”

The sound of long sighs and short sighs rose and fell in the hall.

All the people were worried.

In the face of Wang Lei's strength, the officials felt their hearts tightened.

The county man coughed lightly twice, and said helplessly: "County magistrate, the current situation is that the immortals are fighting and mortals are suffering, Wang Lei and Yuan Shao are fighting, and we are caught in the middle, there is no choice at all, if you choose to be a wall grass, according to the current situation, you must surrender Wang Lei, in this way, Wang Lei's side is easy to solve, but Yuan Shao is offended again!" ”

"With Yuan Shao's troops, once he defeats Wang Lei, and then waves his army to take Beiqiu County, we will definitely die!"

"If you choose to be loyal to Yuan Shao, and Wang Lei leads troops to kill, after the city is broken, we will also die!"

"Either way, it's not pleasing to both sides!"

The county Cheng gritted his teeth, held his head high, and said with a look of death: "Compared with Wang Lei and Yuan Shao, I am more optimistic about Yuan Shao, according to the latest news, the army under Yuan Shao's command has entered Wei County and is heading towards Ye County, once Ye County falls, Wang Lei's army will become duckweed on the water, therefore, I think we must insist, once we surrender, in the end we will suffer!" ”

The county lieutenant shook his head lightly and said worriedly: "Liu Xiancheng's words make sense, but Wang Lei has already led troops to kill, and it is even more difficult to stop Wang Lei just by relying on the strength of Beiqiu County, and he insists on resisting, but there is only one word!" ”

Having said this, the county lieutenant looked left and right, and everyone understood.

One word!! 'Die'.

The county magistrate looked embarrassed, the left side was a death, and the right side was also a death, which was even more difficult.

The county man had a cold face, and said in a stiff tone: "County Chief, Wang Lei is indeed dangerous to kill with his army, but after we surrender, once Yuan Gong captures Ye County, Wang Lei will definitely flee in a hurry at that time, and Yuan Gong's army has arrived in Beiqiu County again, what are you going to do, in this case, do you think Yuan Gong will spare us!" ”

The county magistrate's face turned red for a while, and then it was blue and cloudy.

The county lieutenant had the opposite opinion, and immediately objected: "Liu Xiancheng, everyone understands what you said, the current situation is that Wang Lei's army has entered Beiqiu County, if it can't be stopped, it will be killed immediately, everyone is dead, and what are you thinking about later!" ”

"As long as we insist, we will be able to stop it!"

Liu Xiancheng is also an extremely stubborn person, and said loudly: "People have no long-term worries, we must insist, as long as we block Wang Lei's attack, all problems can be solved!" ”

The county lieutenant and the county magistrate argued endlessly, which made the county magistrate feel a headache.

It's too hard to decide.

The county magistrate did not speak, and immediately afterwards, the big and small officials of Beiqiu County also got involved, and the two sides stood in line, each insisting on their own words, and arguing on their own positions.

"Enough!"

The county magistrate couldn't help but shout, and in an instant, the hall immediately fell silent.

"I decided to take the opinion of the county and resist to the end, we will mobilize all the forces to defend, not to mention that we must defeat Wang Lei, at least let Wang Lei not be able to take Beiqiu County in the short term, the battle is deadlocked, Wang Lei does not dare to delay time, he may choose to bypass Beiqiu County and continue to advance, and when we delay time, Yuan Gong may win, and when the time comes, the problem will be solved!"

The county magistrate chose to resist, and the county lieutenant couldn't help but sigh lightly.

This is looking for death.

The county lieutenant was thinking in his heart and had already begun to plan for his back road.

……

In the territory of Beiqiu County, an army is marching rapidly.

This army is a large army led by Wang Lei, after the army entered Beiqiu County, with the combat effectiveness of the 6,000 army under Wang Lei, it was effortless, and everywhere it went, there was no resistance in the villages.

Guo Jia rode a horse and followed Wang Lei, and said with a smile: "According to the current speed, we can arrive at the county seat of Beiqiu County tomorrow morning, and when the time comes, we will be able to know the attitude of the county order of Beiqiu County, what to do, and there should be a result!" ”

Dian Wei Mo rubbed the big iron halberd in his hand, and couldn't help but interject and said: "The iron halberd in my hand has long wanted to kill, and I will attack the county seat of Beiqiu County, and I will be the vanguard!" ”

This black charcoal head is very belligerent, and when he hears that there is a fight, he immediately becomes excited.

Wang Lei said: "I still hope to surrender without a fight!" ”

"Report!"

A sentry ran over, clasped his fists and saluted: "General, I just caught a person from Beiqiu County, this person claims to be the county lieutenant of Beiqiu County, and he has something to ask to see the general!" ”

"Bring it here!"

Wang Lei's heart moved, and he immediately ordered.

The sentry went to deliver the order, and after a while, an ordinary-looking man walked up, like an old peasant.

This person is none other than the Lieutenant of Beiqiu County.

"Villain Li Yang, meet the general." Li Yang knelt down and said respectfully.

Wang Lei asked: "What evidence do you have for claiming to be a county lieutenant?" ”

Li Yang took out a seal ribbon from his arms, which was the seal of the county lieutenant, Li Yang said respectfully: "General, the villain is the butler of the county lieutenant, this is the seal of the county lieutenant, he asked the villain to come, he intends to return to the general!" ”

"Oh, is he the only one?" Wang Lei's eyes narrowed, and he said, "Mo Fei, the county order intends to resist!" ”

Li Yang nodded and said: "The general is wise, the county magistrate, the county magistrate and other officials plan to resist to the end, my family knows that the general is powerful, and knows that Beiqiu County can't stop the general's pace, and is willing to surrender!" ”

"Okay, the one who knows the times is Junjie, you go back and tell the county lieutenant that Ben will accept his surrender, and after the city is broken, he will serve as the county commander of Beiqiu County." Wang Lei said in a deep voice: "When Ben will attack Beiqiu County, we must see his sincerity!" ”

"Yes!"

Li Yang immediately retreated, and the corners of Wang Lei's mouth hooked up with a smile,
