Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 179
The next day, early morning.

The county lieutenant looked at the calm county magistrate with dark circles under his eyes, and said in surprise, "How did you fall asleep when you were so noisy last night?"

The county magistrate shook his head: "I didn't sleep either."

In fact, seeing that the other party was just acting, he already knew what the other party was thinking, so he made a shield for himself so that he could not hear the sound outside the room, so that he could sleep peacefully.

But he is a Confucian scholar, so he has this ability, but others don't. He doesn't have the ability to block everyone's voice when the city is full of soldiers and civilians.

"The thieves drilled day and night, it's clearly intentional!" Without closing their eyes all night, the county lieutenant was in a bad state, and his mood became irritable.

The county magistrate was silent when he heard the words, and he had no good plan to deal with them. After all, they did not attack the city. You have to blame them. I'm afraid I have no intention of fighting the enemy.

"I'm afraid that the opponent has already seen through my strategy of delaying the attack!" After a long time, the county magistrate just sighed. With the appearance of the opponent, how can it be that he wants to wait for them to surrender?He has clearly seen through the strategy of slowing down the army, so he used this strategy to disgust them.

The county magistrate looked at the county lieutenant and said in a deep voice: "I'm worried that the enemy army has not only come up with this trick, but the messenger sent by our army was intercepted?"

"That's not true. It's strange to say that although they practiced, they didn't have the slightest intention to stop the people who came in and out." The county captain frowned.

Now that you have seen through the trick, you don't try to stop it?

The county magistrate couldn't understand what Chu Nan wanted to do. Could it be that he wanted to besiege Hefei, but he really wanted to help the army?
After this thought suddenly popped up in his mind, the county magistrate was startled, it must be like this, such a poisonous mind!
This Chu Nan is not just a simple merchant clinging to Lu Bu.

"Can the messengers sent out come back?"

"I haven't come back yet, but I sent it out yesterday. Counting the time, I will probably be back tomorrow." The county lieutenant shook his head, and the messenger went out to find alliances with various families and recruit people. This back and forth is not something that can be completed in a day. .

"Then bear with him for another day." The county magistrate glanced at the city and sighed.

"Bang~"

A cluster of arrows flew over suddenly, only a foot away from the two of them. The county lieutenant was fine, but the county magistrate was taken aback: "You bastard!"

"Several pieces flew in last night, and when I asked, I just said I missed it." The county captain sighed, he has a good attitude, and sincerely apologizes, what can you do?If you continue to pursue it, is it possible that you still dare to send troops directly?That Chu Nana couldn't help laughing.

The county magistrate's face turned red with anger, but he also knew that there was nothing he could do, so he snorted coldly and walked away.

In the afternoon, several messengers sent out returned one after another, and the county magistrate and county lieutenant hurriedly recruited them: "Why did you come back so quickly? But the rich families from all over the country have prepared reinforcements?"

"Never." The messenger said with a bitter face: "The Xuzhou army sent people to take the county magistrate's letter, saying that the county magistrate has agreed to surrender, and they want to promote new policies in all townships."

"They believed it!?" The county magistrate's face darkened when he heard the words, and he had a bad feeling.

"No, but those Xuzhou people are too ruthless. If there is dissatisfaction in the countryside, they immediately dragged out the local nobles and beheaded them. I passed by three villages, and all the local nobles were slaughtered. Now they are measuring the cultivated land."

"It's the same with me. Many local unscrupulous people have obtained the land allocated by the Xuzhou Army, and have begun to support the Xuzhou Army. Many big families who took the initiative to provoke trouble were killed, and then quickly flattered the Xuzhou Army."

When the county magistrate heard this, his face turned pale, his lips trembled slightly, and his voice trembled a little: "Chu Nan...Chu Ziyan, how dare you do this!?"

By now, he probably understands Chu Nan's purpose, his purpose is not to help, he is really desperate!

This is to completely eradicate the wealthy families near Hefei. I am using a strategy of slowing down the army, but the other party has come up with a plan and is still holding the letter I gave him. This crime may end up being half of my own head!
The county magistrate sat on the ground helplessly. In this way, the reinforcements he was counting on might not be able to count on him. Instead, he gave Chu Nan an excuse to attack the local wealthy family. The most crazy thing is that he was fighting under his own banner !
"This Chu Nan is so vicious and merciless?" The county lieutenant frowned, feeling a little worried. Many of his families are outside the city. If that Chu Nan did the same thing to his family, the consequences... The county lieutenant didn't dare to think about it, so he quickly looked at the county magistrate and said, "What should we do now? Come up with a plan!"

The county magistrate smiled bitterly. He didn't have any plans. Although Hefei hadn't been breached yet, the initiative had fallen into Chu Nan's hands. Not to mention himself, many officials in this city lived outside the city. The same is true for the soldiers' homes in the city, but they can't fight hard, and they want to use tricks to slow down the army, but they turn back and use their tricks. What else can he do?
"Report~"

At this moment, a county guard rushed to the door and shouted at them: "Boss, the city is in chaos!"

"What happened!?" The county lieutenant asked quickly.

"For some reason, rumors arose in the army and in the city, saying that the county magistrate had decided to surrender, and gave the Xuzhou army a list, and gave the Xuzhou army all the lists of villages and wealthy families, and let the Xuzhou army search their homes!" The county guard bowed and said, "Now the news has spread in the city."

"How could such news come out!?" The county lieutenant frowned. The news was seven parts true and three parts false. It was originally the county magistrate's plan to slow down the army, but now that the other party added fuel to the story, the story suddenly became that the county magistrate wanted to surrender. , but did not dare to offend the big clans in the city, so he secretly sent out the roster and let the Xuzhou army go and pay the clans all over the place!

If the county lieutenant hadn't participated in the whole process, he might have believed it.

"Messenger!" The county magistrate closed his eyes. From yesterday to now, only the messenger can enter the city. They didn't even investigate this.

"It's all here..." The county captain looked at the messenger who came back, and said in bewilderment, but suddenly stopped in the middle of the sentence, all the people they sent are here, but if Chu Nan asked someone to come back pretending to be a messenger So what?

At that moment, the county captain hurriedly sent someone to go to the city gate officer and asked how many messengers came back today.

Soon, the numbers of each department were reported, more than 30.

They sent out a total of more than ten messengers, and not all of them came back. Where did they come from more than 30?
It's just that these messengers came back from various city gates, and without noticing for a while, they let the other party successfully sneak in and spread rumors successfully!
This Chu Nan's tricks are one after another, and every move is too difficult to parry. He hasn't fought much yet, and the hearts of the people inside have already dispersed.

In the lobby of the government office, there was an unspeakable silence for a moment.

"If this goes on like this, the city will be in chaos. You have an idea!" Seeing that the county magistrate did not speak, the county lieutenant said a little irritablely: "If you don't go, I will go. Come, gather people, and let's settle this matter first." Press down."

"Can't be suppressed!" The county magistrate raised his head and looked at the county lieutenant bitterly: "If you suppress it at this time, it will only make people believe the rumors more. Don't forget that the Xuzhou army is outside the city. If Chu Nan notices the movement, I will not abide by the three-day agreement!"

He figured it out, this Chu Nan was not a rule-abiding master, trying to restrain him with rules did not exist.

"Then what to do!?" The county lieutenant couldn't help roaring: "Is it possible to wait for death!? Let me tell you, many members of my family are outside the city, but we can't wait that long!"

"Be safe and don't be impatient, let me think about it." The county magistrate was so anxious that cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He also wanted to break Chu Nan's combo as soon as possible, but for a while, there was no plan.

"Boss~" At this time, another county guard rushed in and shouted to the county lieutenant: "Something has happened, some thieves opened the city gate to welcome the Xuzhou army into the city!"

"Damn it, let's go!" The county lieutenant's face changed when he heard the words, and he didn't care about waiting for any more plans. The city gates were opened by his own family. When the county magistrate came up with a plan, they might directly surround the government office.

At the moment, the county lieutenant hastily assembled his troops and headed towards the city gate together with the county magistrate. When they saw the city gate open, a general from Xuzhou rushed in with his troops.

Seeing the county lieutenant and his party, the general didn't talk nonsense, he slapped his horse and came straight to the county lieutenant.

"Array!" The county lieutenant was shocked when he saw this, and immediately wanted to form an array to meet the enemy, but before he could do anything, the opponent's general had already approached him with a big knife in his hand. The county lieutenant only saw a cold light flash in front of him, and followed closely The head was cut off with a knife.

"Which one is the magistrate!" Wei Yan shouted after beheading the county lieutenant, looking around.

No one spoke, but everyone subconsciously looked at the county magistrate.

County magistrate: "..."

Seeing that it was impossible to escape, the county magistrate could only take a deep breath, stepped forward and said: "I have made a three-day agreement with General Chu, and now the three days have not arrived, why come to attack?"

"You are the county magistrate?" Wei Yan rode towards the county magistrate, sneered and said: "The day before yesterday you set a letter to count as one day, yesterday was one day, today is the third day, the three-day period has come, but you don't Keeping the promise, fortunately the righteous men in the city are not ashamed of you, a villain, and took the initiative to open the city, so that our army can enter the city, you untrustworthy villain, what face do you have to be born in the world!?"

After finishing speaking, Wei Yan's bloody saber swung out again. The county magistrate subconsciously wanted to say something, but there was no piece of Wei Yan's saber in his mouth.

At this point, the county magistrate and county lieutenant were killed, and the Xuzhou army entered the city smoothly. The county guards in the city saw that the leaders were all dead, and many of their family members were outside the city, and they had no intention of resisting.

"If you don't lay down your weapons, you'll be captured without a fight. Maybe you'll have to fight to the death for such rebellion!" Wei Yan shouted sharply.

"I will surrender!" The county guards were taken aback by Wei Yan's sudden outburst. They had no morale at all. Seeing that Wei Yan, the murderous god, wanted to do something again, many of them threw away their weapons and asked for help. drop.

The Battle of Hefei ended with Chu Nan's successful entry into the city. Under the city of Hefei, it also represented that Lu Bu had gained a foothold in Jiujiang!
