A clear morning.

After instructing Diao Chan and Dong Bai, Xiahou An put on the tailor-made Xuanmo light armor and personally led the army to the expedition.

There were 1,200 soldiers in total, including 200 cavalry and 1,000 infantry.

They are all elite training people.

This is also the most troops in Xiahou An since time traveling.

Although there are not many soldiers, the generals accompanying him are all awesome.

Starting from the left hand, Cao Ang, the eldest son of the Cao family, Cao Chun, Cao Ren's younger brother, Xiahou En, and Xiahou Jie, the "Iron Charge Hero";

On the right hand are: Xu Chu, the brave and powerful person, Xu Rong, the unparalleled loyal and righteous Taishi Ci, and the newly adopted son Qin Zhen.

This lineup is more than just awesome!

After leaving Dongjun, it is within Qingzhou, and the adjacent county is named Pingyuan.

Unexpectedly, the governor of Pingyuan County was actually the uncle Liu Huang who we are familiar with.

However, it is important to help. Pingyuan County's county seat is located in the north, and a lot of time had to be wasted in the past. Xiahou An then gave up the idea of ​​seeing Uncle Liu. When Kong Rong was rescued, it would not be too late to go and take a look when he came back.

On the way, Xiahou An looked at Taishi Ci and asked in confusion: "Kong Rong is a famous scholar in the world. Why did he ask me, a fledgling boy, for help?"

Others were also puzzled. Normally, as the prefect of Dongjun, Cao Cao, who was alone in assassinating Dong and forgering Dong, was obviously more famous.

Taishici replied: "Kong Beihai's original plan was actually to ask for help from the magistrate of Pingyuan County Liu Bei..."

Xiahou An nodded, what was expected, and this was the correct way to open the script.

So he was puzzled: "Why did it become me again?"

Taishici said: "It was Ni Heng who strongly recommended it and damaged everyone, which made Kong Beihai strengthen his confidence."

Ni Heng?

Xiahou An was confused. This was obviously an unexpected answer for him.

And if it weren't for Taishi Ci's mention, he would have almost forgotten that there was such a person.

When I was brewing wine in the outskirts of Chang'an, in order to prevent Ni Heng from leaking rumors, I first tied him up, but later I heard from the guards that he beat him up a few more times.

Afterwards, Ni Heng came to the door, and Xiahou An even slandered her vicious words, making Ni Heng very angry.

I insulted him like this, and he strongly recommended me...

Xiahou An couldn't figure it out, his black eyes turned and he held his jaw with one hand. Could it be that this guy is an M?

However, in fact, Ni Heng's thinking is diligent and he completes the strategy himself.

Besides, after Taishici escaped that night, the thief general Guan Hai decided to ask for reinforcements. He made a quick decision and ordered the third update to make dinner. He led his army to attack Duchang early the next morning.

Although Kong Rong, as the governor of Beihai County, has a great reputation and extremely high literary attainments, his military level is truly unfair. In addition, he has no generals under his command. Under the repeated attacks of the bandits, he only persisted for a long time before declaring that the city of Duchang was broken.

Kong Rong led his army to abandon the city and fled to the county city Yingling in a panic.

After the bandit army plundered Duchang City, they were reluctant to give up after they tasted the sweetness. Under Guan Hai's leadership, they chased Yingling and trapped Kong Rong in the city. However, Yingling was a county city, and its city defense was far from comparable to local county towns. Guan Hai did not launch a strong attack, but instead, as before, constantly provoking and intimidating outside the city, causing panic and terrifying people in the city.

In the county magistrate's mansion.

Kong Rong was anxious and could not sleep at night and could not eat. The bandits were fighting every day outside, and the morale of the defenders in the city was sluggish. In this way, Yingling City was probably going to follow Duchang's footsteps.

On this day, Kong Rong gathered all his subordinates, and while walking anxiously, he also expressed his concerns: "Ziyi has been away for more than a month, why haven't he come back yet? Could it be that he abandoned me?"

Although Taishi Ci is known as loyalty and righteousness, he has not been together for a long time. To put it bluntly, he only has one chance to meet. It is true that he knows people but not his heart. It is difficult to guarantee that he will not break his promise and become fat.

After hearing the engaging in the underworld, the officials and others advised Kong Rong not to have too high expectations and to make plans for the next step as soon as possible."

Among them, the chief clerk Wang Xiu sneered at this: "That day I said that children's opinions will only harm others and oneself. Today, it seems that it is true."

Everyone present knew who the child was referring to.

How could Ni Heng not hear this implicit sound? He who never suffered a loss in his mouth immediately stood up and cursed: "A stupid and dull person is worthy of talking to me?"

When Wang Xiu heard this, he was furious: "Ni Heng, you usually boast about how capable you are. Now that the bandits are besieging the city, if you really have the ability, you will retreat this group of bandits!"

Ni Heng also had blood and immediately volunteered to Kong Rong: "Brother Wen Ju, please join me in your army, I will leave the city to destroy the thief!"

Kong Rong was not willing to delegate power. He knew this young friend. He was talented and arrogant, but his strength was not worth mentioning at all. Letting him lead his troops out of the city was exactly the same as killing him to die.

I thought this in my heart, but I didn't say that.

So he took the initiative to become a peacemaker and reconciled from it: "The two are virtuous. At the moment, the enemy is in front of you, so you should unite and fight against the bandits together. Don't split yourself and give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of it."

Both of them snorted coldly and sat back on their seats and stopped talking.

Seeing this, another person stood up and comforted him with kind words: "Don't worry, don't worry, after leaving the city that night, I also sent my brother to Pingyuan to ask for help from Liu Envoy. Pingyuan is not far away, and I believe that in a few days, I will be able to reach here."

This man's surname is Mi, his name is Zhu, and his courtesy name is Zizhong. His ancestors have been doing business for generations. They have become rich and have a wealthy family. They have servants and nearly 10,000 diners. Mi Zhu was therefore called a different leader by Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou.

This time he came to Beihai, which represented Tao Qianlai and Kong Rong, and he never thought that he was trapped here.

He was the ignorant monk that Ni Heng ridiculed before.

After hearing this, Kong Rong felt relieved, and his spirit was much more excited, and he praised: "It's still Zi Zhong's far-sightedness."

Before this, he was also optimistic about Liu Bei. After all, Liu Guanzhang had a prominent reputation in defeating Lu Bu. It was obviously more worth dating than Xiahou An, who had been accomplices of the tiger under Dong Zhuo.

If Taishici had been sent to Pingyuan instead of Dongjun that day, the bandits might have been destroyed long ago.

Thinking of this, Kong Rong felt very regretful.

At this time, a soldier came over quickly and stood outside the hall. After running violently, he couldn't speak. He pointed his fingers at the direction of the city gate, panting.

Seeing this, everyone felt a sank and asked, "But the thief army forcibly attacked the city?"

The soldier shook his head, trying to speak but unable to speak, and kept gasping: "No, yes, yes..."

"What is it, please tell me!"

Everyone was so anxious.

Such a breathless report is so frightening!

The soldier swallowed his dry throat and forced his saliva to reveal the information: "Mr. Fu, sir, it's a reinforcement!"
Chapter completed!
