[69 Book Bar - www.] "Sir~~Sir~~It's not good~! Cao Cao's army has really come here~~~~!" In the backyard of the prefect's mansion, when he saw a man who looked like a general,

He hurriedly ran to the study in the yard behind and shouted.

"Huh~~~Oh, what is supposed to come will always come. It seems that Cao Cao is determined to take Sili Province into his own pocket~~That's it~~That's it~~~~" The eunuch sighed heavily.

Then he asked, "How many people are there?"

"Report to your lord~~~Cao's army is camped ten miles away from the city. According to the statistics of the camp, there should be more than 50,000 enemy troops~" the general said obviously panicked.

"Well~~~ Call hundreds of officials to come with me out of the city!" The prefect said to the general dejectedly.

"...." The general was speechless for a while, then he was stunned for a while and asked intermittently: "Sir, it's dangerous outside, what are you doing?"

"Li Qingchen, how many guards are there in our city?" The prefect suddenly asked after hearing what the general said.

"Uh~~~Twenty-three thousand~!" Li Qingchen replied.

"Then do you think Hongnong's more than 50,000 defenders were defeated by Cao's army in one day? How many days do you think you can defend our small county town with your own strength?" Seeing that Li Qingchen's answer was very clear, the prefect asked him

road.

"Uh~~Okay, sir~I'll go and invite all the adults now~!" After hearing this, Li Qingchen blushed and left.

A dull sound of "squeak~~" was heard, and the gate of Lushi City was slowly opened.

"General, look~!" Since they rested in Hongnong for two days, it is estimated that their two strategies have failed in this city, and Xia Houyuan, who has a stronger team, plans to directly attack Lushi City this time.

But I didn't expect that just as the army gathered 500 steps away from the North City Gate, I saw the North City Gate not far away suddenly opened...

"Do they want to take the initiative to attack?" Seeing this, Xia Houyuan asked blankly to the people around him...

"..." Everyone shook their heads for a while... indicating that they were unclear...

After a while, they saw someone coming out of the city, but they were too far away to see their faces clearly. However, they all discovered a problem, that is, there were only a few dozen people coming out of the city gate, and less than a hundred.

"Brother Xia Hou~~ let's go~! Take over the city defense!" After Shi Guangyuan saw this, he smiled and said to Xia Houyuan beside him.

"Uh~! What? Take the defense?" Xia Houyuan still didn't know what happened to Dong.

"No~!" Shi Guangyuan pointed to the small group of people who stopped fifty steps away from the city gate and said, "Those who are offering the city!"

"..."

"Uh~! Surrendered?" Xia Houchun still asked in disbelief!

"Well, those should be the officials of Lushi City~! Let's all go there~!" Shi Guangyuan said with a smile: "I'm sincere, so don't be too showy~! It won't be good if you regret it later~

!”

"Drive~~Drive~!" After listening to Shi Guangyuan's words, everyone urged their mounts and led the 50,000 to 60,000 soldiers behind them slowly towards the north gate.

"General Lu's Grand Administrator, Zheng Wuwei, please take over the defense~!" When Xia Houyuan and others came twenty steps in front of the group of people, an old man in official uniform took a few steps forward and knelt on the ground, raising his hands.

He held a wooden box and said to Xia Houyuan and others.

After Xia Houyuan looked around, he got off his horse with them and came to Zheng Wuwei's side. He took the wooden box and opened it. It turned out to be the seal of the prefect of Lushi City.

"Master Zheng~! Please get up~! Our Cao army has a lenient policy and treats surrendered generals well~!" Xia Houyuan dragged the seal of the prefect to Xia Houchun behind him with one hand, and said to Zheng Wuwei who was still kneeling on the ground.

He said calmly.

"Thank you, General~!" After hearing Xia Houyuan's words, Zheng Wuwei and the officials behind him thanked him and stood up.

"General, please take charge of the city defense~!" After Zheng Wuwei stood up, he stepped aside and pointed to the Lushi City with one hand and said to Xia Houyuan.

"Hmm~!" After seeing this, Xia Houyuan nodded slightly, and then said to Xia Houchun behind him: "Brother Chun, lead 30,000 people into the city to take over the defense!"

There were 20,000 defenders in Lushi City. In order to prevent this from being a trap or trick by the enemy, Xia Houyuan sent Xia Houchun to lead a larger number of soldiers than the enemy into the city to take over the defense.

"Yes~General!" In front of outsiders, Xia Houchun still knows how to measure his own, and calls his own brother a general!

After receiving the order, Xia Houyuan commanded an army of nearly 30,000 people and headed towards Lu's city...

Half an hour later, Xia Houchun came outside the city, clasped his fists at Xia Houyuan and said, "General~! The city defense has been taken over~!"

"Hmm~~" Xia Houyuan hummed softly, and then said to the old man Zheng Wuwei who had been standing beside him, looking a little nervous: "Master Zheng, let's go into the city together~!"

"Oh~~Oh good~! General, please come~!" After hearing Xia Houyuan's words, Zheng Wuwei smiled as if he was relieved and pointed the way to Xia Houyuan.

The group of people arrived in the lobby of the Prefect's Mansion in silence...

Xia Houyuan naturally took the position of prefect, while Xia Houyuan and Cao Hong sat in the first place on the left and right, Shi Guangyuan was in the first two, and Zheng Wuwei and others were crowded in the middle.

"Master Zheng, stay here, everyone else should go down and wait for orders~!" Xia Houyuan sat down and said calmly to the center of the hall.

"I'll take my leave~!" After listening to Xia Houyuan's words, everyone except Zheng Wuwei arrived in unison.

"Master Zheng~~ tell me about the current situation in the city~!" Xia Houyuan said to Zheng Wuwei after seeing everyone left.

"Yes~~General~!" Zheng Wuwei bowed respectfully to Xia Houyuan, and then began to say: "Returning to the general, Lushi City currently has about 100,000 residents and 23,000 soldiers~!...

..”

This statement lasted for about half an hour. What I had to agree with was that this old man was so capable...

"Hmm~~! Okay~! If Mr. Zheng still wants to serve under my lord, then go to the prefect's mansion in Dongjun to find my lord Cao in a week~" Xia Houyuan really couldn't stand listening, so he finally

He interrupted him and said to him.

And Zheng Wuwei thought that now that he was fifty-five years old, Cao Cao might not allow him to be an official. He didn't expect that he would still have the opportunity to mingle in the officialdom~~~

"Thank you~~~ Thank you General for your kindness~! The lower official will paint the wall with dung to protect the general's kindness~!!!" Zheng Wuwei thanked Xia Houyuan excitedly and knelt down to worship.

"Master Zheng~~~"

"Master Zheng~~~"

"...."

"Master Zheng~~ You don't need to thank me so much~! This matter is still uncertain, and it is up to my lord Cao Cao to make a decision!" Xia Houyuan saw the old man wandering around for a long time and said to him helplessly.
