Huyang County, located in the northeast of Deng County, is a strategic place in the southeast of Nanyang County.

Control of this place, will hold the throat of southeast Nanyang County.

Hu Lan, the magistrate of Huyang County, is a rather smooth official. He is quite tactful in dealing with people. Everyone who meets Hu Lan respects him.

Moreover, Hu Lan is a big family in Huyang County, with a big family and a big career.

Therefore, Hu Lan's position in Huyang county is as stable as Mount Tai.

Of course, Hu Lan does have the ability to govern a county. The country is peaceful and the people are well fed. This achievement is also the most fundamental reason for his stable stay in Huyang county.

In the study!

Hu Lan is dealing with government affairs.

Hu Lan has a hobby, like to listen to people play the piano.

Generally speaking, he focuses on his official business in the morning, and then goes to zuifeng building in the afternoon to listen to the Qinji playing in zuifeng building, which is a well-known thing.

Many people know that if you want to find Hu Lan in the afternoon, you should go to zuifeng building.

"Step on it! Step on it

A sound of footsteps came in from the outside.

The person who came here is the master of Huyang county.

The master came to Hu Lan's side, arched his hand and made a salute, and said: "county respect, Wei Taishou is coming."

"Ah

Hu Lan exclaimed in surprise and said, "the prefect is here. Why didn't he inform you in advance?"

Wei Yan was in charge of Nanyang County and had strict control over the officials below. Those who failed to pass the examination were dismissed one after another. All the officials knew that Wei Yan was not a fool and were careful.

Hu LANLIAN said: "let's go. Follow me to meet you."

"Yes

The master came to the hall with Hu Lan.

When he came to the hall, he saw Wei Yan wearing a black robe and sitting on the throne.

Hu Lan arched his hand and said, "I've met you, my Lord."

"Sit down!"

Wei Yan waved his hand and his face was calm.

Just, his eyes stare at Hu Lan, but let Hu Lan heart jump. Wei Yan's eyes, like eagle's eyes, with a trace of sharpness, make Hu Lan's heart bottomless. What does this cold faced evil spirit suddenly come to Huyang county to do?

Hu Lan said: "I don't know what happened when the governor came to Huyang county?"

Wei Yan said: "I want to take down XiahouDun who came to attack Huyang county with the help of Huyang county."

"Is XiahouDun coming?"

Hu Lan's eyes showed an unbelievable look: "Cao Cao confronts the king of Chu in Xinye. Xia Houdun is a general under Cao Cao's command. He must be at Cao Cao's side. How can he come to Huyang county? Moreover, XiahouDun's army could not get around the king's army. How could he attack Huyang county? "

Wei yanleng said, "are you questioning my official's news?"

Hu LANLIAN said: "I dare not!"

Wei Yan said: "since it is a surprise attack, what is a surprise attack? Nature is blind. I can still arrive at Huyang County quietly. Why can't XiahouDun? "

Hu Lan said: "you are wise. You are stupid."

Wei Yan nodded and said, "if XiahouDun comes, you will send someone to send a letter, saying that you are willing to open the city and surrender, and open a door for XiahouDun to enter the city."

"Ah

Hu Lan surprised, more incredible?

Why is this so strange?

Wei Yan said, "this is what happened. It's no surprise. When summer Houdun arrives, it will come naturally. Now get ready. In the evening, take some of the soldiers under my command to the city. "

"No!"

Hu Lan also want to ask, but see Wei Yan's expression, put out this idea.

Wei Yan did not stay, got up and left.

At night, Wei Yan led some soldiers into Huyang county. Without knowing it, no one knew that Wei Yan had been stationed in the county.

In the evening, suddenly, a royal guard came to Wei Yan's camp to ask for a meeting.

Wei Yan confirmed the identity of the other party, then said: "what's the matter?"

The royal guards replied: "report to the governor of Wei. Deng yuan has already advised Cao Ren to annihilate his army. Cao Ren's soldiers did not survive, and Cao Ren died on the spot. Now, the army is quietly coming to Huyang county. "

"Good!"

Wei Yan couldn't help being surprised.

Deng yuan's victory is a great support to him.

However, Wei Yan also said: "Deng yuan's speed is fast enough, even in such a short time to complete the task."

The Royal Guard said, "only when general Deng chooses a favorable terrain can he succeed."

Wei Yan big sleeve a brush, way: "I know, you wait a moment, I immediately a letter, and then you personally sent to Deng yuan, ask him to prepare immediately."

"No!"

The royal guards replied, looking calm.

Wei Yan immediately wrote a letter and gave it to the royal guards.After the royal guards left, Wei Yan's eagle eyes were shining with a sense of competition. Deng yuan has won, but he has not.

However, Wei Yan is not in a hurry, everything is the overall situation.

Time goes by and the next morning.

XiahouDun had already led his troops out of the city, and XiahouDun came out of the city tower and cried out.

Hu Lan stood at the head of the city, staring at XiahouDun, and said, "XiahouDun, if you have the ability to attack the city, it's shameful to shout."

Xia Houdun said, "Hu Lan, surrender now, or Huyang county will be broken."

Hu Lan said: "if you have the ability to fight, why shout."

XiahouDun snorted and said, "bring it up!"

Voice down, but see a group of people were escorted to.

This group of people were from Huyang county. On the way to XiahouDun, he was thinking about how to deal with Hulan. He learned that Hu Lan was an official who loved the people, so he decided to take the most direct and ruthless way.

Capture the people, in order to threaten Xia Hulan.

When Hu Lan saw the people, her face was calm, and she said in a loud voice, "what's your intention, XiahouDun?"

"Don't you love the people like children, Hu Lan? These people are the people under your rule. Now, you will surrender immediately, and I will spare you. If you refused to surrender, you would have killed these people immediately. Then we will go and arrest the people. "

After hearing this, Hu Lan trembled with anger.

XiahouDun is too cruel.

Even though Hu Lan was a slick and old-fashioned official, it was the first time that she met such a ruthless and heartless person as Xia Houdun, who did not care about the people at all.

Hu Lan roared: "XiahouDun, it's shameful of you to force innocent people."

"What shame is not?" said XiahouDun. "As long as the task can be completed, Ben will be right. Now, Ben will count to ten. If you refuse to open the city, you can't blame Ben for being cruel. They don't die in the fall of Ben Jiang, they die in your hesitation. "

"One!"

"Two!"

"Three

....

Xia Houdun didn't give Hu Lan time to think at all, so he began to count the time.

Hou xialan: you are shameless

"Seven!" continued XiahouDun, unaffected at all

"Eight!"

"Nine!"

On the count of nine, seeing that Hu Lan was still unresponsive, Xia Houdun snorted coldly in his heart and said, "if you are stubborn, don't blame Ben Jiang. When you die, it's Hu Lan who can't help you. "

"Somebody

At XiahouDun's command, the executioners with knives came forward.

"Wait!"

Suddenly, Hu Lan on the tower began to shout.

Xia Houdun grinned and said, "magistrate Hu, is there anything else to say?"

Hu Lan said: "can you guarantee that there will be no crime after entering the city?"

"Ben will promise!" said XiahouDun

Hu Lan said: "as long as I promise you, you will release these innocent people immediately?"

"Of course!"

Houghton did not think about it, but answered directly.

Hu Lan said: "well, I ordered Kaesong to surrender. It's very disappointing of you to use such a means, harhoughton. You win, but you lose. "

"What's the use of character?" said XiahouDun with a smile? Can I have it? Can we ensure victory on the battlefield? Hu Lan, no more nonsense. Open the gate now, or you will kill them. "

"Yes

Hu Lan ordered: "open the gate!"

"Creak! Creak

With Hu Lan's order, the gate of Huyang County slowly opens, revealing the access to the city.
