Agents of the Three Kingdoms

Beiqiu County, established in the Western Han Dynasty, the county seat is not big, and it belongs to a small county.According to the county establishment standards of the Eastern Han Dynasty, counties with more than [-] households were assigned a county magistrate, and a county magistrate below him, who was in charge of the county's civil affairs, documents, warehouses, etc., and two county lieutenants were assigned to take charge of the county's public security and defense.For counties with less than [-] households, there is only one county magistrate, no county magistrate, and a county magistrate and county magistrate.

Beiqiu County is a small county with less than [-] households, not even [-] households.

It is estimated that there are five people in one household on average, and there are only [-] people in Beiqiu County.

Beiqiu County is weak, and it is difficult to resist Wang Lei's army.Because of this, the county magistrate was even more disturbed.

County government office, hall.

The county magistrate of Beiqiu County sits on the main seat, and the county magistrate and county lieutenant sit on the left and right sides below.The rest of the bureaucrats, meritorious officials, thief officials and other officials of all sizes took their seats, and everyone gathered together.

A group of people lowered their heads and did not speak, with serious expressions on their faces.

The county magistrate coughed twice, brought the officials in the hall back to their senses, and said slowly: "Everyone, Wang Lei led troops into the Qinghe Kingdom, and sent people to spread the word that if we resist his army, once we break through Beiqiu County, all resisting officials , Regardless of the official position, all will be killed. Not only that, even the family members of the official will be killed, what do you think about this matter?"

Long sighs and short sighs echoed in the hall.

All the people were worried.

Faced with Wang Lei's dominance, the officials felt their hearts tighten.

The county magistrate coughed lightly, and said helplessly: "County magistrate, the current situation is that gods fight mortals and suffer. Wang Lei and Yuan Shao fight, and we are caught in the middle. There is no choice at all. If you choose to be a fool, follow the In the current situation, Wang Lei must be surrendered, so Wang Lei can easily solve it, but Yuan Shao will be severely offended."

"With Yuan Shao's strength, once he defeats Wang Lei and takes Beiqiu County with his army, we will definitely die."

"If you choose to be loyal to Yuan Shao, and Wang Lei leads troops to kill him! After the city is broken, we will die too."

"In any case, it's not good for both sides."

The county magistrate gritted his teeth, held his head high, and said as if he was going to die: "Compared with Wang Lei and Yuan Shao, I am more optimistic about Yuan Shao. According to the latest news, Yuan Shao's army has entered Wei County and is heading towards Ye County. Go. Once Ye County falls, Wang Lei's army will become duckweed on the water. Therefore, I think we must persist, once we surrender, we will suffer in the end."

The county lieutenant shook his head lightly, and said worriedly: "Liu County Chancellor's words are reasonable, but Wang Lei has already led troops to kill him. It is even more difficult to stop Wang Lei with the strength of Beiqiu County! Persevere in resistance, and the result is only one word. "

Having said that, the county lieutenant looked around and everyone understood.

One word - 'death'!

The county magistrate had a troubled look on his face. There was a dead man on the left and a dead man on the right. It was even more difficult.

The county magistrate had a cold face, and said in a blunt tone: "Lord county magistrate, it is indeed dangerous for Wang Lei to attack with his army. But after we surrender, once Yuan Gong captures Ye County, Wang Lei will definitely flee in a panic at that time, and Yuan Gong's The army has arrived in Beiqiu County again, what do you plan to do? Under such circumstances, do you think Yuan Gong will spare us?"

The county magistrate's complexion turned red for a while, and livid for a while, and the weather was uncertain.

The county lieutenant had the opposite opinion and immediately objected: "Liu Xiancheng, everyone understands what you said. The current situation is that Wang Lei's army has entered Beiqiu County. If it can't stop it, it will be killed immediately. Everyone is dead. , and think about what's next."

"As long as we persist, we will be able to stop it!"

Liu Xiancheng is also an extremely stubborn person. He said loudly: "People who have no foresight must have near-term worries. We must persevere! As long as we block Wang Lei's attack, all problems can be solved."

The county lieutenant and the county magistrate were arguing endlessly, which made the county magistrate even more troublesome.

This matter is too difficult to choose.

The county magistrate did not speak, and immediately after that, officials of all sizes in Beiqiu County were also involved.

"enough!"

The county magistrate couldn't help shouting, and in an instant, the hall fell silent.

"I decided to take the opinion of the county magistrate and resist to the end. We mobilized all our troops to defend, not to mention that we must defeat Wang Lei, at least make it impossible for Wang Lei to take Beiqiu County in the short term. The situation was deadlocked, and Wang Lei did not dare to delay. We may choose to bypass Beiqiu County and continue forward. And when we are stalling for time, Yuan Gong may win, and by then, the problem will be solved."

The county magistrate chose to resist, and the county lieutenant couldn't help but sigh.

This is looking for death!

The county lieutenant was thinking in his mind, and he had already started to plan for his own future.

……

In Beiqiu County, an army is marching rapidly.

This army was led by Wang Lei. After the army entered Beiqiu County, with the combat power of [-] troops under Wang Lei's command, it was effortless. Wherever it went, there was no resistance from any village.

Guo Jia followed Wang Lei on horseback, and said with a smile: "According to the current speed, we can arrive at the county seat of Beiqiu County tomorrow morning. At that time, we will know the attitude of the magistrate of Beiqiu County. What should we do? It worked out."

Dian Wei rubbed the big iron halberd in his hand, and couldn't help interjecting: "The iron halberd in my hand has long wanted to kill a lot, and I will attack the county seat of Beiqiu County, and I will be the vanguard."

This Heitantou was very warlike, and when he heard that there was a battle, he immediately became excited.

Wang Lei said: "I still hope to win without fighting!"

"Report!!"

A sentry ran over and saluted with fists cupped: "General, a man from Beiqiu County has just been captured. This person claims to be the county captain of Beiqiu County. He has something to ask the general to see."

"bring it here!"

Wang Lei's heart moved, and he ordered immediately.

The sentry went to convey the order, and after a while, an ordinary-looking man who looked like an old farmer came.

This person is the Beiqiu county lieutenant.

"Villain Li Yang, I pay my respects to the general!" Li Yang knelt down with a plop, and said respectfully.

Wang Lei asked: "You claim to be a county lieutenant, what evidence do you have?"

Li Yang took out a seal from his bosom, which was the seal of the county captain. Li Yang said respectfully: "General, the villain is the steward of the county captain, and this is the seal of the county captain. He asked the villain to come Surrender to the General."

"Oh, is he the only one?" Wang Lei narrowed his eyes and said, "Could it be that the county magistrate intends to resist?"

Li Yang nodded and said: "The general is wise, the county magistrate, county magistrate and other officials intend to resist to the end. My family knows that the general is powerful, and knows that Beiqiu County can't stop the general's pace, so he is willing to surrender."

"Okay! Those who know the current affairs are heroes. You go back and tell the county captain that I will accept his surrender. After breaking the city, he will serve as the county magistrate of Beiqiu County." Wang Lei said in a deep voice: "When Ben will attack Beiqiu County You have to see his sincerity."

"Yes!"

Li Yang backed away immediately, and a smile appeared on the corner of Wang Lei's mouth.
