After receiving the loud answer from the soldiers, Xiahou An ordered people to return weapons and armor.

This originally belonged to them.

Immediately, Xiahou An sent someone to call the Xiahou brothers, Lu Cui and Wang Can.

Soon, the four of them came here.

Xiahou En and Xiahou Jie came with full arms. At the meeting before, it was confirmed that the two generals followed Xiahou An to attack the encirclement.

Luci will also serve as a marching adviser for this trip.

Wang Can stayed in the city and called him because he had to explain some matters to him before Xiahou An left.

When Wang Can learned that Xiahou An would activate these surrendered soldiers, he pulled them aside and whispered in a worry: "County Master, these surrendered soldiers may not be reliable. I think they should think twice about rushing to the county city."

Wang Can has good intentions, Xiahou An knows.

He said 'I'm sorry'.

Wang Can looked puzzled and wondered why Xiahou An apologized. Then he heard the young Duchang County Magistrate turn around and sell himself. He shouted to the surrendered soldiers: "Everyone, Wangxianzhu told me just now that your loyalty may not be reliable, so I will abandon you. Tell me loudly, will you betray me?"

The soldiers who felt despised shouted angrily: "No! No! No!"

Wang Can stood awkwardly while Lu Cui looked at Xiahou An thoughtfully. This young boy was so good at gust!

Just a few words aroused the emotions of these soldiers. I believe that they would just ask them to break into the sea of ​​swords and fire. I guess they would not frown.

Li Qing came over with a stubborn horse, and Xiahou An turned over.

Seeing this, the rest of the people also rode on the horse.

Seeing Xiahou An was about to set off, Wang Can advised: "County Master, you haven't slept all night, so you'd better take a break before heading out!"

Xiahou An shook his head.

"Now is a time of rushing against time, and without delay, if I am really tired, I will take a nap on the horse's back."

After talking to Wang Can, Xiahou An was about to set off.

When I set off, I suddenly heard someone shouting, "Sir, wait for me!"

Looking back, it was Han Gou who ran quickly with his weapons.

Xiahou An's face darkened: "What are you doing?"

After Han Gou established his mind, he hurriedly said, "I heard that the adults are going to rush to Yingling, and the man is here to act as a front pawn to serve the adults!"

In this plan, Han Gou was excluded.

Just now, he talked from Xiahou Jie's words and learned that Xiahou An was leaving Duchang and rushed to Yingling.

This surprised Han Gou. He was surprised by Xiahou An's courage, and he did not want to stay and wait for death. If he followed Xiahou An, he would be able to save his life even if Duchang City fell.

The key is how to gain Xiahou An’s trust.

After hearing Han Gou's reasons, Xiahou An still had no idea of ​​changing his mind. He glanced at Han Gou and said bluntly that he refused him: "No, this time there is enough manpower, so you can stay and defend the city."

The surrendered soldiers of the county also disdained this "General who was afraid of death".

Han Gou naturally refused to stay, but fortunately he had already planned and said in a low voice: "Do you still remember Lu Ren who Bei Zhi mentioned before?"

Xiahou An nodded.

This time, Yuan Tan led his army to attack Duchang, which was the letter sent by Lu Ren.

Han Gouliang showed his trump card: "This person is in Yingling City. If the adult takes a low position, the low position can make him an internal supporter and communicate with the adult."

Xiahou An stared at Han Gou for a long time, as if he wanted to see some clues in his face, but Han Gou just smiled flatteringly. Xiahou An weighed the pros and cons and shouted to Li Qingwan: "Give him a horse!"

Looking at the horses he brought and the whip he handed to his hand, Han Gou bowed again and loudly expressed his loyalty: "I am determined to be an adult to go through fire and water!"

Xiahou An didn't take this seriously. Just listen to it, don't take it too seriously.

Lu Cui also sneered in his eyes, a hypocritical villain.

At the beginning of the Yin hour, Xiahou An led his army out.

Two days later, Cao Chun, who failed to attack at night, retreated back to the city.

When we left, there were 1,200 people. When we came back, there were only less than 500 people left, which was a heavy casualty.

As the main general, Cao Chun was also seriously injured. If he hadn't had the arrow sore on the way and fell off the horse, he would never have been taken aside by the soldiers on a stretcher.

Xu Rong asked him to rest well, and as for fighting Yuan Tan, he would leave it to himself.

Two more days later, Yuan Tan led his army to the city.

"Xiahou An comes out to see me!"

After the soldiers of the three armies lined up, Yuan Tan urged him to step forward and shouted loudly.

Xu Rong, who was standing at the top of the city, came here early to supervise the battle command. He took tens of thousands of soldiers under the city into his eyes and ordered people to hang the battle signs at the top of the city.

Then he bowed his hands to Yuan Tan and said loudly: General Yuan, my lord is sick and cannot come to greet him this time. Please ask General Yuan to retreat temporarily. When my lord recovers from illness, he will come to apologize."

Yuan Tan is not a three-year-old child. Xiahou An must be afraid and cannot get sick. He can see through this trick at a glance. While laughing in his heart, he also looked a lot of contempt. He looked at Ju Su beside him and said with a smile: "Military Supervisor, is this what you are talking about?"

Ju Su frowned slightly, thinking in his heart that Xiahou An was ill at this time, don’t he think it was too late?

The purpose of calling it sick is nothing more than to delay time, but as far as the current situation is concerned, it is difficult for me to have a way to break the situation.

Fortunately, Ju Su knew that even if he was sure to win many things, he could not delay them at all. After all, Chi Ze changed, so he turned to him and said, "Young Master, no matter whether Xiahou An is really sick or not, we should take Duchang in one go today!"

Yuan Tan nodded at this, and this was true.

So he raised his right arm high and prepared to issue orders.

At that time, Cao Ang, who saw this, calmly shouted on the city tower: "Yuan Xiansi, I often heard Uncle Yuan say that although you are not outstanding in appearance, you have the spirit of a kind and gentleman. Now we are lying a high-level battle card, and I think you will not take advantage of the situation. Doing such an unrighteous thing will insult your reputation!

As soon as these words were spoken, Yuan Tan was speechless.

Seeing Yuan Tan hesitating, Ju Su was anxious and advised: "Young Master, how can those who accomplish great things be burdened by false reputation?"

That's right, but Yuan Tan never wants to be honest, and his father is also a person with good face. After thinking about it, he decided to give Cao Ang a chance and immediately replied: "Okay! Cao Zixie, I will give you three days. In three days, if you can't hand over someone, don't blame me for turning against me and not thinking about the past love!"

When the soldiers guarding the city heard this, their expressions slowed down.

It takes three days to delay, but it can be considered three days.

Cao Angdu replied, "In three days, I will definitely explain it to you!"

Hearing Cao Ang's loud voice, Yuan Tan stopped saying anything. He waved his hand and slowly led his troops to retreat, setting up camp outside the city.
