Damn it, I've done it!

Xiahou An's decision-making speed was much faster than expected.

This made Lu Cui feel trance for a moment.

In his opinion, such an important decision-making plan should be summoned, and everyone should sit together to discuss and do more. Xiahou An made such a quick decision, which was really unexpected.

At this moment, he couldn't tell whether Xiahou An was in a state of mind or really wanted to go all out.

Afterwards, Xiahou An ordered Xu Chu to send someone to wake up the generals and come to the county hall for a meeting.

It was late at night.

Soon, the generals came to the county government one after another while yawning.

After seeing the ceremony with Xiahou An, they each found their own seats to sit down.

There was a refreshing tea soup on the table. After taking a few mouthfuls, you were already a little more energetic.

The staff were all here, and all the confidants were intimate. After Xiahou An asked everyone to be quiet, he calmed down and said, "I want to announce something when I call everyone so late."

The generals sitting in the position sat upright and listened quietly with all their hearts.

After a moment, Xiahou An heard solemnly say: "I decided to send out surprise troops to attack Yingling before Yuan Tan arrived!"

As soon as these words came out, the hall exploded.

"County Master, let me go! Since the disaster was caused by me, we should be considered as guilty and meritorious!"

"Boyang, I'd better take people there!"

"Brother, don't always look at them, and give me a chance!"

All the generals were completely confused and volunteered to take on this important task.

Xiahou An waved his hand and signaled that the generals did not have to fight. He would lead the team in person this time.

The generals knew Xiahou An's temperament, and once he decided on something, it would be difficult to change it.

Everyone stopped fighting and Cao Ang asked, "If you don't stay here, who will take charge of Duchangcheng?"

Xiahou An had already made arrangements for this. He told everyone that the attack was highly confidential. During his absence, Xu Rong would be in charge of the Duchang City, and everyone would obey his orders.

Violators will be punished with military law!

The generals had no objection to this. Although Xu Rong's current official position was not high, he was a serious general in the past. In terms of his achievements, he defeated Sun Jian and Cao Cao one after another. No one here could match his experience in leading troops to fight.

Moreover, when Xu Rong joined the army, many people here were still naughty children running around in open crotch pants.

After the matter was explained, the generals dispersed, and Xiahou An left Xu Rong to explain it.

He asked Xu Rong: "How long can you hold on without foreign aid?"

"I will stick to it as long as my lord wants me to hold on." Xu Rong bowed his hand and replied in a deep voice with a serious look on his face.

At such a dangerous moment, Xiahou An dared to hand over the most important base camp to himself. This trust and respect are even more important than that of Tai Shi Dong at that time.

This also proves that my vision was correct.

Xiahou An is not only decisive in his work, but also very determined.

Such a person is hard to accomplish anything big!

Xiahou An didn't know what Xu Rong was thinking, and was still giving him advice: "If Yuan Tan leads his army to the city, don't anger him first, just say I'm sick, hang up the battle-free sign, show the strength of the weak, and drag it if you can."

This made Xu Rong, who was preparing to fight a tough battle, feel helpless. His lord is really "smart and tricky"!

"I have calculated that this raid will take at least ten days and at most fifteen days. During these fifteen days, you must ensure that Duchang will not be lost. If there is still no news from me after fifteen days, you can take people to evacuate Duchang quickly."

Xiahou An solemnly reminded him.

Xu Rongze said: "Lord, Du Changcheng is your hard work. I wish to hold on for another ten days!"

Xiahou An shook his head when he heard this. It was not that he didn't believe in Xu Rong's military capabilities, but that he really had to stick to it for so long that he had finally saved up all the capital.

The Yuan family has great business, and one or two thousand soldiers have died under his command, which has no harm at all. But Xiahou An is very poor and has only such a few people on hand. If he really wants to kill all of them, how can Xiahou feel sad?

As for Duchangcheng, what can I do if I have my own efforts? I can’t spend all my lives here.

He told Xu Rong a very simple truth: to keep the green mountains there, and not be afraid of burning firewood.

As long as people are alive, even if the city is lost, they will be able to be brought back here sooner or later.

Xu Rong was not stupid, and this truth was clear at all. He nodded and then asked Xiahou An: "When will the lord leave?"

Xiahou An took a deep breath and the reply he gave was, the faster the better.

"Okay, I'll go and order troops for the Lord."

After saying that, Xu Rong was about to leave and go to the camp.

"No need, I won't take any of the soldiers you trained."

Xiahou An called Xu Rong. If he took these soldiers away, what else should Xu Rong use to defend the city?

Xu Rong was stunned. The army he trained in the city now has the highest combat effectiveness. If Xiahou An didn't bring these people there, would he still want to regroup from the refugees?

If this is true, it is basically free.

Xiahou Anze said: "Defending the city is a big deal. You train these people. You can do it easily. As for the troops and horses that are rushing, I have other arrangements, so you don't have to worry about it."

That being said, but Xu Rong was still worried. If he really wanted to form a refugee team, the winning rate would be slim. He bowed and asked, "Please make it clear."

Seeing Xu Rong's attitude of breaking the casserole and asking the whole thing, Xiahou An did not hide it from him: "Since you want to know, that's fine, then let's go with me."

Afterwards, the two left the county government and headed all the way to the camp to the east.

This is the place where the surrendered soldiers are guarding.

When Han Gou failed to attack Duchang, the surrendered soldiers worked here.

Xu Rong immediately realized that Xiahou An wanted to use this surrendered army to attack the county city.

When we arrived at the camp, nearly 3,000 county soldiers had already assembled.

After this period of rest, most of the injured soldiers have recovered, but they are still bare-handed, without weapons, and without armor.

But these are not problems.

Xiahou An came on stage and shouted: "Dear soldiers from Beihai, the county magistrate Kong treats you well during his lifetime. Now the Beihai has been attacked by treacherous slanderers. Yuan Tan has occupied the magpie's nest and is domineering in the Beihai territory. I want to avenge the county magistrate Kong and regain the county city Yingling. Can you help me?"

The soldiers looked at me and I looked at you, but no one made a sound.

Since surrendering, Xiahou An has never been embarrassed by them. Instead, he let them rest and provide them with food, and only does some hard work.

If such a person is in charge of the Beihai, he will not be inferior to the dead County Governor Kong, at least he will not be much worse.

Seeing that no one said anything, Xiahou An promised in public: "As long as I take down the county city, I will return your freedom immediately and will never hurt your family. If it goes against this, it will be punished by heaven and earth!"

Xiahou An said this, and the soldiers present were not ungrateful and shouted loudly: "I am willing to serve the Lord!"
