Yuancheng County, county government.

There were many generals gathered in the hall, including the generals of Ping'en County, the chief generals of Qingyuan County, the chief generals of Guantao County, and the officials of Yuancheng County.

There are only a few who can speak, and most of them are soy sauce.

At this moment, the faces of all the officials are ugly.

Cai Jin, the county magistrate of Yuancheng County, glanced at the officials present, and said slowly: "For several days in a row, every day, thousands of men and horses have entered the camp of the Jizhou army, and today, I am afraid that there are no less than twenty or thirty thousand people. Not only that, but looking at the posture of the other party, there may be a steady stream of troops coming. The combined strength of our four counties is not as large as that of the other party. ”

As soon as these words came out, all the officials fell silent, and their cheeks were even more bloodless.

At the beginning, Chun Yuqiong arrived in Yuancheng County with a body injury, found the county commander Cai Jin, and asked Cai Jin to mobilize soldiers from various counties to ambush Wang Lei's army in Yuancheng County.

The prefectural orders of Pyong'en, Cheongwon, and Guantao agreed and sent their respective armies to arrive.

The troops of several counties arrived in Yuancheng County, and they were waiting for Wang Lei to lead the army to arrive.

Chun Yuqiong's statement is right, the target of the Jizhou Army led by Wang Lei is really Yuancheng County, and it went straight to Yuancheng County. As soon as the army arrived, Cai Jin was rewarded by the soldiers and learned that there were more than 5,000 soldiers on the other side.

The other party's troops were not much, Cai Jin was very happy in his heart, and the main generals of Ping'en County, Qingyuan County and Guantao County were also very happy, feeling that the five thousand soldiers were not their opponents.

Ping'en County has more than 2,000 soldiers, Qingyuan County has more than 2,000 soldiers, Guantao County is slightly stronger with 3,000 soldiers, and Yuancheng County, as a large county, also has 3,000 soldiers. The forces of the four counties were combined, and there were more than 10,000 soldiers in total.

Wang Lei only has 5,000 troops, and he is obviously not the opponent of the four counties.

Cai Jin was full of ambition at that time, and he wanted to capture Wang Lei and show his face in front of Yuan Shao.

At this point, a problem arises.

The main generals of the four counties quarreled non-stop in order to compete for the vanguard, and everyone wanted to send troops to take Wang Lei as soon as possible. This battle, a day has passed, and there is still no result. Without waiting for Cai Jin to lead the troops to battle, only one night later, early the next morning, more than 4,000 soldiers and horses suddenly arrived at the military camp where Wang Lei was stationed.

In one night's effort, Wang Lei's troops became tens of thousands.

At this time, the forces of the two sides were leveled.

The hatred in Cai Jin's heart, hating that he didn't make a decisive direct attack and lost a great opportunity. The strength of the other party is similar, Cai Jin feels that the probability of winning is half of the points, and the other generals of Ping'en County, Guantao County and Qingyuan County also feel that Wang Lei's strength has increased and is unwilling to fight. The commanders of the four counties began to shirk their responsibilities again, unwilling to be the vanguard.

Another day passed on this controversy, and in the end there was still no result. As a result, Wang Lei's army still did not fight the day after it arrived.

Early in the morning of the third day, there was another thing that frightened Cai Jin.

This morning, nearly 5,000 soldiers arrived in Yuancheng County, and Wang Lei's troops were as many as 15,000. In the face of more troops than himself, Cai Jin showed timidity in his heart, and the commanders of Qingyuan County, Guantao County and Ping'en County were also timid, feeling that this battle was in suspense.

Perhaps, it was they who were defeated.

Even if Chun Yuqiong persuaded him, the commanders of the counties were unwilling to send troops.

Cai Jin was powerless, even if he wanted to send troops to save the situation, but he only had 3,000 troops, but the other party had 15,000 people, and he didn't dare to go out at all. And Cai Jin was not willing to sacrifice his own soldiers, so they each truce and continued to delay time.

The further back it goes, the more terrifying it becomes.

On the morning of the fourth day, another 5,000 troops appeared and entered Wang Lei's military camp with great fanfare.

Cai Jin got the news, and he fainted like a lightning strike, and the blood fainted.

When the county commanders of Qingyuan County, Guantao County and Ping'en County heard this, they were instantly petrified, and they no longer had the slightest intention of facing the battle. Their 10,000 men were cobbled together and rarely went to battle, and the soldiers were also untrained and not strong in combat. Wang Lei can fight well, and the 20,000 troops under his command are fierce and cruel, and once they fight, they will definitely be defeated.

Fight to lose!

This is the voice of the commanders of each county!

Without the desire to fight, the commanders of the counties had no choice but to make a truce behind closed doors.

One after another, they also got the news that an army was coming.

The number of 20,000 continues to soar, and this number makes the commanders of each county have no intention of fighting. It was precisely in this way that Cai Jin gathered all the chiefs of each county and invited them to the hall to discuss matters.

Cai Jin saw that everyone didn't speak, so he had to say, "Everyone, what should I do?" You have to come up with a charter. ”

The chief general of Ping'en County sighed lightly, and said helplessly: "The matter has come to this, what can I do?" Wang Lei continued to increase his troops, making it clear that he wanted to accumulate more strength, and then take Yuancheng County in one go. ”

Cai Jin nodded and glanced at Chun Yuqiong.

The county lord of Qingyuan rolled his eyes, and then said: "Wang Lei has Han Fu's support behind him, and his strength is strong!" I got the news that Han Fu handed over the collected Zhanlu sword to Wang Lei, worshiped Wang Lei as the general of Yangwu, and asked Wang Lei to lead the troops to kill first and then play. Wang Lei is in power, and there is the support of the entire Jizhou behind him, he can continuously mobilize troops to kill, we can't win! ”

Cai Jin nodded again and looked at Chun Yuqiong again.

The chief general of Guantao County shook his head and said: "In this battle, we have lost the opportunity. If Wang Lei just arrived in the city to fight, there might be a chance to fight, but now it's too late! ”

"A bunch of waste, who don't think about how to win a battle, but only know how to say frustrating words!"

Suddenly, an unsociable voice came out.

The person who spoke was Chun Yuqiong, who was recuperating from his injuries in Yuancheng County. After these days of cultivation, Chun Yuqiong's injuries have healed and she has been able to move freely. Chun Yuqiong was different from the officials present, the officials in each county were uncertain, but Chun Yuqiong was a person who was loyal to Yuan Shao, and he did not allow the situation of fear of war to happen.

Chun Yuqiong spoke, and a smile appeared on Cai Jin's face.

Cai Jin's eyes narrowed, and he said lightly: "General Chunyu, we are not people who lead troops to fight. If you govern a county, it's okay, but if you go to the battlefield, you can't catch it, and your ability is not enough! ”

Chun Yuqiong roared: "Even if you are defeated, you have to fight!" ”

The chief general of Ping'en County said: "The soldiers are stationed in the city, why don't you let General Chun Yu lead the troops as the vanguard?" ”

The county lord of Qingyuan immediately echoed the general: "General Chunyu is a fierce general under Yuan Gong's account, and he is Yuan Gong's right-hand man. Could it be that General Chun Yu doesn't even have the courage to lead his troops into battle? ”

The chief general of Guantao County is not a good bird, and the general said: "General Chunyu led his troops to be defeated by Wang Lei in Ye County, don't you want to be ashamed?" We want soldiers to have soldiers, weapons to have weapons, food to have food, and we want men, so we will lead our troops to defeat Wang Lei. ”

"Fight is war, I am so afraid of Qiong!"

Chun Yuqiong slapped the desk on the desk, stood up with a pout, and stood tall.

The lords of the counties showed joy, and praised Chun Yuqiong with fists again and again. It's just that Chun Yuqiong looked at the smiling faces, and her heart was cold, and she suddenly had a bad premonition.
