The people of Wen County were woken up in the middle of the night by the bang of the city gate, but the county magistrate and county lieutenant were nowhere to be found.The county magistrate Qin Peng took the lead temporarily and led a group of soldiers to the tower.

"Xiancheng, why did someone suddenly attack the city? Could it be that Fusu's army came here?" A soldier asked.

Qin Peng was also at a loss. According to the information he had learned, most of the Great Wall Army should have crossed the Yellow River. How could they come back with a horse shot: "Could it be that they were defeated in the front line and retreated?"

But no matter what the reason, if someone attacked the city, they would defend it.Qin Peng ordered the soldiers to line up on the city wall. Some shot arrows down, and those who were not good at arrows threw stones directly down.

When Xu Qin and the others arrived near the south gate, they were just in time for the two armies to fight and someone set fire to the gate of the city.

Of course, Qin Peng would not allow the other party to burn down the wooden city gate, so he specially asked people to carry several large water tanks, set fire on the bottom, and pour water along the city wall from above.Therefore, although the flames rolled around the door opening, it only burned the door panel to black for the time being.

"Didn't Fusu promise not to attack the city?" Chen Mai said in surprise, "Why are there still Qin soldiers here?"

Xu Qin also felt strange, and was about to step forward to investigate, but was stopped by Xu Wang: "Wait a minute, have you seen the other party's flag clearly?"

Although the moon was dark and the wind was high tonight, and the Qin army didn't light the torches, the fire they set on the ground was enough to make the big red "King" character embroidered on the black flag leap into everyone's eyes.

This is the banner of Wang Ye, one of the deputy generals following Zhang Han's army this time.

"Could this be General Wang's army?" Xu Wang said in a loud voice, "This is terrible, we must stop it quickly."

Just as Xu Qin was about to stop him, Xu Wang had already galloped over and shouted at the tower from a distance: "Stop quickly, it's the officers and soldiers who are coming!"

"You wait here, and come over as soon as you hear my order. If there is no order, and you hear two short and one long bird calls at night, sneak in through the east gate. "Xu Qin had no choice but to talk to those peasant rebels, and followed with others.

Hearing Xu Wang's voice, Qin Peng frantically stopped his soldiers.

"Magistrate Xu." A middle-aged general in uniform rode out from the army of the Qin army, "It's been a long time since I saw you, but you are getting more and more courageous, and dared to gather a crowd to rebel."

"I didn't rebel." Xu Wang forced himself to calm down, dismounted and knelt down to General Wang. "The armor of the Qin army and the rebel army is black, which is why the soldiers guarding the city misunderstood."

"Misunderstanding?" Wang Ye passed by Wen County to collect grain when he was a school lieutenant in his early years. Because of his domineering personality, he had conflicts with Xu Wang. How can a small misunderstanding be cleared up."

"This..." Xu Wang hesitated, "As the county magistrate, I am not effective in restraining my subordinates, and I am willing to bear all the responsibilities for the crimes alone. General, please don't hold the people of Wen County accountable."

"Are you responsible?" Wang Ye sneered, "You didn't sleep in the middle of the night, sneaking out of the city, not knowing what to do to endanger the army. I heard that your son Xu Qin colluded with Fusu and lured the enemy from the secret road. To attack the Qin army, I sent several soldiers to come, but they did not return for several days."

Only then did Xu Wang understand what it was like to be unable to argue.

Wang Ye pointed forward with the long sword in his hand: "Magistrate Xu, you are really courageous. However, your crime of raiding your home and breaking the law will be counted after you are taken back. People from Wen County attack the officers and soldiers, and it is considered treason. When I capture the city, none of the people present will be able to escape."

"You are too unreasonable." Chen Mai scolded, "Who made you all wear the uniform armor of the Qin army, and whoever made it clear at night."

"Where did the Huangkou kid come from, how dare you disrespect the general!" One of Wang Ye's subordinates shouted angrily, drew his sword and slashed at him.

Chen Mai reined in the horse, and dodged the sword with a dodge.

When Xu Qin saw them making moves, he also drew out his long sword, and both sides were at war with each other.

Qin Peng on the city wall hurried down and shouted, "Open the city gate quickly and let the county magistrate come in."

The soldier guarding the gate asked confusedly: "Didn't General Wang just say that the county magistrate rebelled? Really..."

Qin Peng knocked him on the head: "Pig brain, we have all fought with the officers and soldiers, can we still get out of the way?"

The soldier quickly untied the key from his waist and opened the door.

Qin Peng held up the torch and shouted to Xu Wang: "County magistrate, come in quickly."

Xu Wang turned around: "No, I will implicate you if I go to the city."

"General Wang always loves to hold grudges, and we won't be able to pick them off this time." Qin Peng sighed, "Old Xu, although I guessed that you left overnight so as not to hurt the entire county, we After so many years of friendship, I can't just watch you in danger."

Seeing that they were about to run, Wang Ye ordered the arrows to be released, and a rain of arrows rained down. Xu Qin ran into the city gate at a speed of [-] meters, and could still feel the "swish" sound of arrows flying past behind him.

"Xu Wang, you can enter the city today, and you can hide for a day, but you can't hide for a lifetime." Wang Ye's men wanted to chase, but he was slapped on the forehead by the door panel, feeling annoyed, he yelled and cursed outside the city gate for half an hour before leaving.

But when he called out, everyone in the city basically knew about Xu Wang and Xu Qin.

"Everyone must be called together to speak." Xu Qin said anxiously, "The man surnamed Wang will definitely not let it go. If people are disturbed, this county will not be able to hold on."

Xu Xin mobilized the soldiers to call out people from house to house. Most of the people, who were too scared to sleep by the shouts of killing outside, gathered in the open space in front of the county government office. It was a good time to launch a mass movement.

After Xu Qin asked Xu Wang for instructions, he stood on the highest stone steps of the county government office, and began his speech emotionally with provocative language: "Fathers and fellow villagers, today's affairs are all started by me, Xu Qin, If I can bear it alone, I will not avoid it. But now it is clear that the officers and soldiers feel that our entire Wen County is against them. When the city is destroyed, our men present will be slaughtered, and women and children will be reduced to official slaves. , the old people will be dragged to the front line to deliver supplies. Since the Second King ascended the throne, Qin has given us more and more corvee, but what do we get in exchange for suffering? Strict laws and regulations will always sit in the same family, because my Because of this, my whole family has to flee here overnight, but despite this, the Qin army still came to attack us, what does this mean?"

It was the first time for many people present to hear such a tirade, and there was a lot of confusion for a while.

Chen Mai was a clever ghost, and immediately sneaked into the crowd and shouted: "It shows that the Emperor Qin didn't treat us people as human beings at all, and treated us as enemies if he made a mistake."

"That's right!" The others echoed.

"I have worked hard to farm for more than ten years, and now a general who doesn't know any birds is coming to attack us. Do you mean to regard Wen County as a county of Qin?"

"They didn't regard you as their relatives in the first place. You must know that Wen County was Weidi before." Xu Qin said meaningfully.

Since he lived in Wen County, he discovered that although the Qin Dynasty unified the world, people from the six kingdoms still had serious problems with their homelands. In Wen County, old people often heard old people talking about the mountains and praising Wei for being rich and powerful.Xu Qin wanted to take advantage of people's hearts, which was also a little bit of experience he had accumulated when watching the Chen Sheng and Wu Guang uprisings at the beginning.

Sure enough, when the people of Wen County heard this sentence, they immediately became excited.

"Now that all the heroes in the world are rising together, why bother to stick to the struggle between the two Qin people Huhai and Fusu?" Xu Qin continued to encourage, "As far as I know, many descendants of the king have raised troops to respond to Chen Sheng's uprising, but our Wei The descendants of the Kingdom of Wei have not yet appeared. As long as we can hold Wen County and develop and expand the old Wei State from here, then the Queen of Wei who has been hiding among the people will appear. At that time, why should we look at other people's eyes and live in vain? "

"Revive the great Wei! Show off the power of our country!" The people present gradually became excited.

Seeing that Xu Qin had almost stirred up the atmosphere, Qin Peng said, "Think about it, everyone, who is the one who manages this place in an orderly manner every day? It's the county magistrate Xu. Now Qin Bing can kill his whole family with a casual accusation. You agree ?"

"We don't agree!" Xu Wang is usually a clean and honest official, generous and caring for the people, and has done a lot of practical things for the local people, so he is very loved by the people, and he is a kind person.

"Wen County can have no emperor, but can't have a county magistrate." Qin Peng raised his arms and shouted.

"We can't live without the county magistrate!"

"It's better to follow the county magistrate!"

After the mobilization before the battle, Xu Qin asked everyone to disband, go back to sleep first, the other side should not attack the city at night again, and it will be better to form the formation at dawn tomorrow.

However, the high-level officials in several counties were not idle. The heads of various departments gathered in the county office and held the first pre-war preparation meeting.

Xu Wang ordered people to hang up a map of the vicinity of Wen County, and at the same time asked Xu Xin to take people to visit Qin Jun's situation.

"Aqin, do you really want to rebuild Wei?" Xu Wang worriedly looked at his son whose ambition seemed to grow bigger in a short time.

"I didn't think too much about it." Xu Qin laughed, "It's just that now that the other side has fought all the way to the city, we can only fight back. It just so happens that Chen Sheng also has a plan for me to wait for an opportunity to capture Wei."

"If you want to seize the Wei land, you must first defend Wen County." Han Xin said, "Otherwise, without a city, it will be like a pile of loose sand, and it will be gone once you beat it."

After a while, Xu Xin and the others went back and said, "Report to the county magistrate, Wang Ye took six thousand Qin soldiers and set up camp five miles west of the city. Their soldiers surrounded the county town at every ten steps. If we There's simply no way to get away with so many people without getting their attention."

"That means you can't escape." Xu Wang nodded and said, "What do you think about the next plan?"

"If you can't escape, you will naturally defend." Xu Qin said naturally.

"Report—" At this time, a soldier hurried in from the outside, "When I was repairing the burned gate to the east, Qin Jun shot a letter of war with arrows."

Xu Wang took the arrow and took out the tied silk from below. After a glance, he was so shocked that he couldn't even hold the silk and fell to the ground.

Xu Qin quickly picked it up and read it. Chen Mai leaned over and began to read in a low voice: "Kaicheng was surrendered, and your women and children will be kept. If you resist, you will be slaughtered."

"Is he crazy?" Xu Qin was shocked by the spirit of massacring the city at the slightest disagreement.

"This General Wang has a small belly and a violent temper." Qin Peng explained, "I heard that he was defeated in the southern part of the Yellow River, so he was driven by the commander to clean up the remnant soldiers on the river side. In the end, he surrounded the city and was defeated by us. To resist is to take all the previous anger on us."

"This is really an innocent disaster." Xu Wang stroked his palms and sighed, "They have six thousand elite soldiers, while we have only eight hundred garrison soldiers, plus others that can be mobilized, there are only a thousand more. Fighting against the Qin army is like hitting a stone with an egg. How can this be? Is good?"

The author has something to say: Qin Jun: Don’t shoot, friend

(After receiving the massacre warning)

Xu Qin: Don't be afraid, protect our Han Xin, abuse food easily

It's not good to massacre a city, just add historical figures to it, and just make up a general Wang
