Agents of the Three Kingdoms

When Cai Jin and the others got the news, they panicked instantly.

Everyone had a look of disbelief on their faces.

The soldier sighed softly and said, "My lord, General Chunyu's head has been delivered and is waiting outside the gate." The soldier was worried about scaring all the big men present, so he didn't bring Chunyuqiong's head in directly.

"Bring it in!"

As expected of Cai Jin who has served as county magistrate for many years, he calmed down quickly after seeing the storm.

Not long after, another soldier walked in holding a box.

The soldier held the box in front of Cai Jin. Cai Jin took a deep breath and adjusted his mentality before lifting the lid of the wooden box and taking a look.In an instant, Cai Jin defended, and the lid of the box fell with a snap.Cai Jin's face was so pale that there was no trace of blood. Sure enough, Chunyu Qiong was killed.

In this way, it meant that the four thousand soldiers led by Chunyu Qiong were also defeated, and all of them were in vain.

Cai Jin waved his hand and pointed at the general in Guantao County, and the soldiers immediately held it over.

Immediately afterwards, one person watched them all.

When the soldiers left the hall with the wooden box in their hands, the soldier who reported the news continued, "My lord, besides the killing of General Chunyu, there is another news. Wang Lei declared that he had captured Ping'en County, Qingyuan County and Guantao County. County. Now, only our Yuancheng County is still resisting the Jizhou Army.”

Cai Jin stood up abruptly, but sat down again in an instant, slapped the desk, trembling with anger.

Even Cai Jin's heart began to fear.

It's only been so long, and Wang Lei actually won three counties, which is unbelievable.

Cai Jin frowned, began to doubt in his heart, shook his head and said: "Impossible, impossible, how could Wang Lei win Qingyuan County, Ping'en County and Guantao County? Absolutely impossible. Wang Lei has been outside Yuancheng County. It's impossible for someone not to leave."

Cai Jin was talking in a rambling manner, feeling a little dazed.

The general of Ping'en County said: "That's right, this must be the news that Wang Lei intentionally frightened us."

The general of Qingyuan County continued: "Yes, I agree with this statement."

The soldier continued: "My lords, Wang Lei is not in the barracks outside Yuancheng County. The person in charge of the Jizhou Army outside the city is Wang Lei's subordinates. After Wang Lei's army left Ye County, Wang Lei quietly led his troops to Ping'en County , Qingyuan County and Guantao County, surprise attack three counties."

The soldier said it again according to the news circulating outside, and stated it clearly.

Cai Jin was impatient, and said angrily, "Bastard, what news is there, let's finish it all."

The soldier said innocently: "My lord, I have finished everything!"

"Go down!"

Cai Jin waved his hand, and the soldiers retreated respectfully.

"Everyone, please tell us what we should do. From what the soldiers said, there is no doubt that this matter is true. Wang Lei has indeed conquered the other three counties, and only our Yuancheng County is still resisting. .”

Cai Jin frowned, feeling very unhappy.

This news makes people feel upset.

The chief general of Qingyuan County wiped the sweat from his forehead and said: "Qingyuan County has surrendered, which means that the county magistrate of Qingyuan County has returned to Han Fu. As a general of Qingyuan County, I cannot disobey the order and must surrender. "

The chief general of Ping'en County followed closely behind, and said without hesitation: "I brought troops to Yuancheng County for support because the magistrate of Ping'en County agreed to send troops. Now that the county magistrate has surrendered to Han Fu, it is impossible to send troops again. Support me to fight against Wang Lei. Therefore, I also choose to surrender. If Cai County Magistrate intends to persist to the end, I will lead my troops to withdraw from Yuancheng County."

The chief general of Guantao County went on to say: "The two of them and I have the same meaning, we can't continue fighting."

"Hahaha……"

Loud laughter came from the hall.

Cai Jin relaxed, and said loudly: "Since everyone has decided to abandon the dark and turn to the bright, I, the county magistrate of Yuancheng County, naturally cannot fall behind. Like everyone, I also intend to open the city gate and surrender. Wang Lei asked the soldiers to send Chunyuqiong's head The purpose of coming to me is to make us surrender, and in this case, his wish has been fulfilled."

The chief general of Guantao County said: "That's right, County Magistrate Cai is indeed a reasonable person."

The rest of the people agreed one after another, blowing Cai Jin into the sky.

Cai Jin changed the subject and said again: "Everyone, I have another concern. After all, we surrendered to Yuan Shao and fought against Wang Lei's army. If Wang Lei turns his face and refuses to recognize anyone after taking Yuancheng County, what should we do? Woolen cloth?"

"Magistrate Cai made it clear once he had something to say, don't keep it up."

The chief general of Ping'en County frowned and was quite worried.

Cai Jin had a worried expression on his face, and said worriedly: "What I mean is, we will send someone to Wang Lei's barracks to negotiate with Wang Lei and strive for more benefits. First, Wang Lei must ensure our safety and not cross the river and tear down the bridge; Second, Wang Lei must ensure that our official positions remain unchanged, and we cannot be dismissed after surrendering."

Cai Jin's words immediately won the approval of the others.

The chief general of Guantao County said, "The question is, who will go? Is Magistrate Cai planning to go?"

Cai Jin shrank his head, and the next moment, his head shook like a rattle, and there was a trace of panic on his ordinary cheeks.Immediately, Cai Jin looked at the chief general of Guantao County and said, "I'm not suitable for an envoy, why don't you go. You are a member of the army, and Wang Lei is also a person who leads troops to fight, so I will definitely be more polite to you."

"No, I won't go. It's really not possible, just surrender." The general of Guantao County shook his head and refused.

If he angered Wang Lei and was killed, wouldn't he suffer an indiscriminate disaster?

We must not go!

Cai Jin turned his gaze, looked at the general of Qingyuan County again, and said with a smile: "Why don't you go! After all, you are a veteran with rich experience, and you will definitely be able to deal with it well."

The chief general of Qingyuan County shrank his neck and said firmly: "I can't do it! I'm not good at talking, so I'm not suitable to be an envoy. In my opinion, County Magistrate Cai is well-read in poetry and books, so he is the most suitable candidate."

The chief general of Ping'en County was worried about the fire coming, rolled his eyes, and said proactively: "Magistrate Cai, I think you are the most suitable. Those who go to Wang Lei's barracks don't need to be rough and rough who fight, they need to be well-read and eloquent." You are a scholar. You are a scholar, you are sensible, and you can speak the truth, and it is most suitable for you to fight for our interests."

Cai Jin hurriedly said: "I'm really not suitable. If I go, it will be self-defeating!"

"Impossible, it will definitely go smoothly." The general of Guantao County said with a firm face.

The chief generals of the other two counties echoed one after another and persuaded Cai Jin to go.

A hint of cunning flashed in Cai Jin's eyes, he sighed softly, and said helplessly, "Since everyone believes in me, then I can only go there reluctantly. I just hope that I can live up to my mission!"

In a word, the chief generals of the other three counties breathed a sigh of relief.

What they didn't know was that Cai Jin was also elated. In Cai Jin's view, although it was dangerous to go to Wang Lei's military camp to negotiate, it was a great opportunity to get in touch with Wang Lei at close range.

Therefore, Cai Jin took retreat as an advance and successfully won the task of envoy.
