With Nie Kai's death, Dai County no longer had any regular troops to defend itself. Kofu Chanyu soon led the Huns army to sweep across the entire Dai County...
As cities were taken one after another, Kofu Chanyu quickly led his army to approach Ma City.
In Macheng City, the county magistrate Jia Gou summoned the garrison captain Yue Qing and deputy captain Pang Ruan to discuss what should be done next.
Jia Gou looked anxious and said: "Have you heard about it? The entire army of Nie Kai Commandery has been wiped out. Now in the entire Dai County, we are the only ones left in Ma City that has not yet fallen. But Shanyu Kofu has led his army to come to Ma City. We
What should we do?"
Yue Qing clasped his fists heavily and said, "Please rest assured, Lord County Magistrate. If the Huns dare to come, I will be willing to lead the army to fight."
Pang Ru'an said speechlessly: "General Yue Qing, what comes this time is not a small wave of Xiongnu troops, but the entire Kofu tribe. Our small garrison in Ma City is not enough to fill the gap between people's teeth!"
Pang Ru'an's words were very realistic and scared Jia Gou. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead and he said: "What should we do? What should we do?"
"Don't panic, County Magistrate. There will be a plan in the end that may solve the current predicament." Pang Ru'an said again.
Jia Gou's eyes lit up and he asked quickly: "Oh? General Pang has any clever ideas, please tell me quickly."
Pang Ruan took a breath and replied: "I heard that many prefects in other counties in Daijun took the initiative to surrender to Kefu, but were still ordered to serve as prefects. In the opinion of General Yimo, it is better for us to follow suit..."
Before he finished speaking, Yue Qing couldn't help but started to curse: "Pang Ru'an, are you crazy? You actually persuaded the county magistrate to surrender to Kefu. Do you want to make the county magistrate a traitor?"
Facing Yue Qing's question, Pang Ru'an was as helpless as he could be and replied: "Those who know the current affairs are heroes. There is nothing we can do about it."
Yue Qing wanted to say something else, but Jia Gou exhaled and said, "Well, what General Pang said is absolutely true. In my opinion, we can surrender to the Huns."
What?!
Yue Qing looked at Jia Gou in disbelief. He really couldn't believe that the magistrate, who was usually upright and upright, would show such weakness when facing the Xiongnu. It was really disappointing.
The more he thought about it, the more Yue Qing sighed and shook his head.
Seeing Yue Qing's appearance, Jia Gou couldn't help but frown and said, "What? Yue Qing? Do you think this county magistrate's order is inappropriate?"
"It's not inappropriate, it's just wrong." Yue Qing said seriously every word, "Mr. County Magistrate, do you think you are right? Do you think that if the Huns are allowed to enter the city, the people of Macheng can still be preserved?
?”
"For the sake of my official position, the sacrifice of the people is inevitable." Jia Gou said through gritted teeth.
Hearing this, Yue Qing was completely disappointed and chilled, so he said nothing more, turned around and walked out.
"General Yue Qing, where are you going?" Jia Gou roared and asked.
"Since the county magistrate is already afraid of the Huns and has no intention of fighting against them, then I will naturally find another way to fight against them." Yue Qing said indifferently.
"Bastard! What a bastard!" Jia Gou was so angry that he smashed the table repeatedly, but he still couldn't stop Yue Qing from leaving.
After Yue Qing left, Pang Ru'an once again plucked up the courage to speak to Jia Gou and said, "Your Excellency, the county magistrate, in order to avoid long nights and short dreams, we should quickly send someone to inform Shanyu Kofu of our intention to surrender."
Hearing this, Jia Gou nodded in agreement and said, "Okay, then I'll leave this matter to you."
"Nuo." Pang Ruan took the order and went straight to the Kofu military camp with a few soldiers.
When Chanyu Kefu met with Pang Ruan and learned that Jia Gou, the magistrate of Macheng County, wanted to surrender without a fight, he was overjoyed and immediately ordered the army to speed up.
When Ke Fu's Huns army arrived at the gates of Macheng, he saw Jia Gou holding a big seal in his hand and kneeling down in front of the city with the soldiers and civilians all over the city.
"We are willing to surrender to Kofu Chanyu, and I hope Kofu Chanyu can spare the lives of all the people in my city." Jiagou, who was kneeling on the ground, said humbly.
Kofu Shanyu waved his riding crop triumphantly: "Bring the big seal forward!"
Jia Gou didn't dare not listen, so he respectfully walked up to him holding the big seal.
Kofu Chanyu picked up the big seal, looked at it carefully, and said to Jia Gou: "Lead the horse into the city."
After hearing this, Jia Gou's face suddenly turned red.
After all, he used to be the county magistrate with more than 10,000 people. Now, under the gaze of the people in the city, he wants to lead Kofu Chanyu's war horse into the city. It is really a shame.
Regarding this, Jia Gou looked at Pang Ru'an with some embarrassment, wanting him to speak for him.
It's a pity that Pang Ru'an was already scared from the bottom of his heart. When he saw Jia Gou looking at him, he lowered his head, just like his grandson, he didn't dare to say a word.
Seeing this scene, Jia Gou couldn't help but feel anger rising in his heart.
But before he could get angry, Chanyu Kofu got angry in advance: "I'm talking to you, can't you hear me? Let you lead the horse into the city!"
Swish! Swish!
The Hun soldiers around him drew their scimitars directly from their waists, as if they were going to chop down Jia Gou if he dared not obey.
With no other choice, Jia Gou had no choice but to lead Kofu Shanyu's war horse and slowly enter the city.
When entering the city, Kofu Chanyu even raised his head and laughed.
As for the Xiongnu soldiers under his command, they were even more excited and screamed. After entering the city, they looted and robbed anyone who dared not to obey. Anyone who dared to disobey would be killed without mercy, causing the whole city of Ma City to be shaken by cries and cries.
sky.
Seeing that Ma Chenggong under his rule was now like a purgatory on earth, Jia Gou's face became even more ugly.
He even regretted not listening to Yue Qing's words and resisting to the end, which resulted in the current predicament...
Thinking of this, Jia Gou couldn't help but ask the guard next to him: "Where is General Yue Qing?"
The guard replied: "For your information, your lord, the county magistrate, before the Xiongnu army arrived, General Yue Qing had already left the city with the soldiers who were willing to follow him."
Have you abandoned yourself...
Jia Gou felt desperate inside. He knew that he was afraid there was no turning back.
"Hahahaha..." At this moment, a burst of perverted laughter rang out, and it was Kofu Shanyu who came to Jiagou, patted him on the shoulder and greeted him:
"Lord Magistrate, what are you thinking about?"
Jia Gou hurriedly flattered: "This is to inform the Lord Shanyu. I am thinking about how to serve you better. May I ask if you have any other instructions? I am willing to serve you..."
"Haha, that's right. I've always been soft-spoken and not hard-hitting. What I like most is people who obey what they say."
"This Chanyu declares that from now on, you will still be the county magistrate of Macheng!"
