Huyang County, located in the northeast of Deng County, is a strategic location in the southeast of Nanyang County.

Controlling this place chokes the throat of the southeast of Nanyang County.

The county magistrate of Huyang County is named Hu Lan, who is a rather slippery official, who is quite tactful in dealing with people, and everyone who 'interacts' with Hu Lan has great respect for Hu Lan.

Moreover, Hu Lan himself is a big family in Huyang County, and his family has a big business.

Therefore, Hu Lan's status in Huyang County is as stable as Mount Tai.

Of course, Hu Lan does have the ability to govern a county, the country and the people are safe, and the people have enough food and clothing. This political achievement is also the most fundamental reason why he can stay in Huyang County.

In the study!

Hu Lan is handling government affairs.

Hu Lan has a hobby and likes to listen to people play the piano.

Under normal circumstances, he concentrates on official business in the morning, and then goes to the Drunken Wind Building in the afternoon to listen to the Qin Ji in the Drunken Wind Building, which is already a well-known thing.

Many people know that if you want to find Hu Lan in the afternoon, then go to Zuifeng Building.

"Step, step!"

A sound of footsteps came from outside.

The person who came was the master of Huyang County.

The chief bookkeeper came to Hu Lan's side, bowed his hand, and said, "County Zun, Wei Taishou is here." ”

"Ahh

Hu Lan exclaimed in surprise and said, "Lord Taishou is here, why didn't you notify in advance?"

Wei Yan was in charge of Nanyang County, and he strictly managed the officials below, but those who failed the assessment were dismissed one after another. All the officials understood that Wei Yan was not a master who was easy to fool, and they were all cautious.

Hu Lan hurriedly said: "Let's go, come with me to meet you." ”

"Yes!"

The master bookkeeper followed Hu Lan to the hall.

When he came to the hall, he saw Wei Yan wearing a black 'colored' robe and sitting on the main seat.

Hu Lan arched his hand and said, "Xiaguan Hu Lan, I've seen adults." ”

"Sit!"

Wei Yan waved his hand, his face calm.

It's just that his eyes were staring at Hu Lan, but it made Hu Lan's heart skip a beat. Wei Yan's eyes, like eagle eyes, revealed a hint of sharpness, which made Hu Lan's heart bottomless, what did this cold-faced god suddenly come to Huyang County for?

Hu Lan said: "I don't know why Lord Taishou came to Huyang County?"

Wei Yan said: "This official wants to use Huyang County to take down Xiahoudun who came to attack Huyang County." ”

"Xiahoudun is coming?"

Hu Lan's eyes showed an unbelievable look: "Cao 'Cao' confronted the King of Chu in Xinye, Xiahoudun was a general under Cao's 'Cao's command, and he must be by Cao's side, how could he come to Huyang County? Moreover, Xiahoudun led the army to come, and he couldn't bypass the army of the King of Chu, so how could he attack Huyang County?"

Wei Yanleng said, "Are you questioning the official's news?"

Hu Lan hurriedly said: "The lower officials don't dare!"

Wei Yan said: "Since it is a surprise attack, what is a surprise attack? This official can still arrive in Huyang County quietly, why can't Xiahoudun be able to?"

Hu Lan said: "My lord is wise, but the lower officials are stupid." ”

Wei Yan nodded and said, "If Xiahoudun comes, you will take the initiative to send someone to send a letter, saying that you are willing to open the city and surrender, and open a 'door' for Xiahoudun to enter the city." ”

"Ahh

Hu Lan was surprised, and even more incredible?

Why is this so weird?

Wei Yan didn't smile and said, "That's the way things are, there's nothing strange about it. When Xiahoudun arrives, it will naturally come to fruition. You prepare now, and when it is evening, you will bring some of the soldiers under your command into the city. ”

"No!"

Hu Lan still wanted to ask, but when he saw Wei Yan's expression, he put out this thought.

Wei Yan didn't linger, got up and left.

After nightfall, Wei Yan led a part of the soldiers and quietly entered Huyang County, unknowingly, no one knew that Wei Yan had entered the county seat.

And in the evening, suddenly, a brocade guard came to Wei Yan's camp to ask for a meeting.

Wei Yan confirmed the identity of the other party before he said, "What's the matter?"

Jin Yiwei replied: "Back to Wei Taishou, Deng Yuan's side has already persuaded Cao Ren's army to annihilate. None of the soldiers under Cao Ren's command survived, and Cao Ren also died on the spot. Now, the army is quietly rushing towards Huyang County. ”

"Good!"

Wei Yan couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised.

Deng Yuan's victory was a great support to him.

However, Wei Yan also said: "Deng Yuan's speed is fast enough, and he has completed the task in such a short time." ”

Jin Yiwei said: "General Deng chose a very favorable terrain in order to succeed. ”

Wei Yan flicked his sleeves and said, "The official knows, you wait a minute, the official will write a letter immediately, and then you personally send it to Deng Yuan and ask him to prepare it immediately." ”

"No!"

Jin Yiwei replied, his face calm.

Wei Yan immediately wrote a letter and 'handed it over' to Jin Yiwei.

After the brocade guard left, Wei Yan's eagle eyes flashed with light, and there was a hint of competitiveness. Deng Yuandu was victorious, but he didn't even succeed.

However, Wei Yan is not in a hurry, everything is focused on the overall situation.

Time passed, and the next morning.

Xiahoudun had already led his troops outside the city, and Xiahoudun came to the outside of the city tower and shouted loudly.

Hu Lan stood at the head of the city, stared at Xiahoudun, and said: "Xiahoudun, if you have the ability, you can attack the city, shouting loudly is really shameful." ”

Xiahoudun said: "Hu Lan, surrender immediately, otherwise you will have to break Huyang County." ”

Hu Lan said: "If you have the ability, you can go to war, why shout." ”

Xiahoudun snorted and said, "Bring it up!"

When the words fell, I saw a group of people being escorted.

This group of people is from Huyang County, and on the way to Xiahoudun, he was thinking about how to deal with Hu Lan. He learned that Hu Lan was an official who loved the people, so he decided to take the most direct and ruthless way.

arrested the people and threatened Xia Hulan.

Hu Lan saw the people, his face was calm, and he said loudly: "Xiahoudun, what are your intentions?"

Xiahou said loudly: "Hu Lan, don't you love the people like a son? These people are all the people under your rule. Now, if you surrender immediately, the general will spare you. If you refused to surrender, you would have slaughtered the people at once. Then, go and arrest the people. ”

After Hu Lan heard this, she was also trembling with anger.

Xiahoudun is too ruthless.

Even though Hu Lan is a slippery person and an old fritter in officialdom, it is the first time he has encountered someone who is so ruthless and ruthless as Xiahoudun, and does not care about the people at all.

Hu Lan shouted: "Xiahoudun, it is shameful that you 'forced' innocent people to persecute them. ”

Xiahoudun said: "What is shameful and not shameful, as long as you can complete the task, then it will be right." Now, Ben will count to ten, and if you refuse to open the city, then you can't blame Ben for being ruthless. They don't die in the fall of the general, they die in your hesitation. ”

"One!"

"Two!"

"Three!"

......

Xiahoudun didn't give Hu Lan time to think at all, and began to time.

Hu Lan said: "Xiahoudun, you are shameless!"

Xiahoudun was not affected in the slightest, and continued: "Seven!"

"Eight!"

"Nine!"

When he counted to nine, Xiahoudun saw that Hu Lan still didn't react, so he snorted coldly in his heart and said, "If you are stubborn, then don't blame the general." If you die, it's all because Hu Lan won't save him. ”

"Someone!"

As soon as Xiahoudun gave an order, he saw executioners with knives stepping forward.

"Wait!"

Suddenly, Hu Lan on the city tower opened his mouth and shouted.

Xiahoudun grinned and said, "Hu County Order, is there anything else you want to say?"

Hu Lan said: "Can you guarantee that Qiu will not commit any crimes after entering the city?"

Xiahoudun said: "Ben will guarantee!"

Hu Lan said: "As long as the official promises you, you will immediately release these innocent people?"

"Of course!"

Xiahoudun didn't think about it, so he answered directly.

Hu Lan said: "Okay, this official ordered Kaecheng to surrender." Xiahoudun, it is really disappointing that you use such means. Although you have won, your character has been lost. ”

Xiahoudun smiled and said: "What is the use of character? Can you eat it? Can you ensure victory on the battlefield? Hu Lan, don't talk nonsense. Open the gates at once, or Ben will kill them." ”

"Yes!"

Hu Lan ordered: "Open the 'gate' of the city!"

"Crunch, crunch!"

With Hu Lan's order, the big 'gate' of Huyang County slowly opened, and the passage into the city was 'exposed'.
