Julu County, Yangshi County.

In the central army's tent, Taishi Ci sat upright in a white robe. In the tent, there were also generals sitting, and everyone had serious expressions. Taishi Ci was meticulous in doing things and was very principled. The generals under his command also had a similar personality to Taishi Ci.

"Today, I will receive an order from my lord." Taishici said with a serious expression and said in a stern manner: "The lord vowed to go out in Ye County to fight and start the war to wipe out Yuan Shao. And, the lord sent an order to let me lead my army to attack Anping Kingdom and wipe out Yuan Shao's army in Anping."

"General, this is our opportunity to prove ourselves. We have been operating for several years and the results are now."

A general clenched his fists and looked excited.

"General, in this battle, I am willing to be the vanguard."

Immediately, another burly general stood up with high fighting spirit.

Each general is looking forward to this battle.

Last year, Yuan Shao sent high-ranking officials to lead troops to attack Julu County. Due to military orders, Taishi Ci has been adopting a defensive strategy and has not launched a counterattack. Now, Wang Lei has started a decisive battle with Yuan Shao, and the breath that the generals held in their hearts was released.

There is only one idea, fight hard!

Taishici said in a deep voice: "This battle is of great importance and cannot be careless. Especially this is our first battle, and we must fight wonderfully without any mistakes. Yuan Shao's army is stationed in Xindu County, the county seat, and in front of Xindu County, there are Tangyang County and Fuliu County. If you want to kill it, you must first solve Tangyang County and Fuliu County."

"Generals, Tangyang County and Fuliu County are both small counties. Their county town size cannot withstand our offensive. Furthermore, Anping State itself is from Jizhou, and it is even more a matter of responding to the heavens and the people. I am willing to go to Tangyang County to persuade the county magistrate of Tangyang County to surrender."

A tall and ordinary-looking man stood up with a smile.

The person who spoke was Cui Puyuan, who was once the bandit's dog-headed military advisor. The bandit's entrenched mountain village was wiped out by Taishi Ci's troops, and Cui Puyuan also surrendered to Taishi Ci and handled government affairs for Taishi Ci.

Taishici looked pleased and nodded, "I am sure, and I look forward to you returning with good news."

"Go and prepare immediately!"

Cui Puyuan looked calm and turned around and left the tent.

Taishici passed on the order: "Where is Li?"

"The last one will be here!"

Li You was burly and stood up and clasped his fists.

Taishici ordered: "Let you lead three thousand soldiers as a front army to investigate the situation."

"I will obey the order!"

Li You responded excitedly, and there was a deep joy in his eyes.

Taishici ordered again: "Qin Li, Qiu Hua, mobilize the army to follow me to fight. The rest of the people stayed in the military camp to prevent Gongsun Zan from the Zhongshan Kingdom from attacking."

"Abide by the order!"

When one general receives the order, he will immediately execute the order.

...

The county magistrate of Tangyang County is named Zhen Jia, whose courtesy name is Youdao, and he is from Wuji County, Zhongshan Kingdom. To be the county magistrate of Tangyang County, this is a glorious thing in the eyes of ordinary people, but in Zhen Jia's view, in this turbulent years, being the county magistrate of Tangyang County was simply hanging his head around his waist, and that round head could be picked away at any time.

After a while, Tangyang County became Yuan Shao's; after a while, Tangyang County became Wang Lei's. Zhen Jia has always been a fence-bearing, but fence-bearing is not safe either.

In the county government office, Zhen Jia is undergoing official duties.

At this time, the county yamen runners came to Zhen Jia and reported: "Mr. County Magistrate, a guest came from outside the county yamen and said he was your relative and wanted to meet you."

"Relative, which relative is here?" Zhen Jia asked.

The yamen runner shook his head and said, "I haven't seen him before, I look very handsome."

Zhen Jia ordered, "Take it to the hall and I will come afterwards."

"promise!"

The yamen runner left the study room, Zhen Jia snorted, stood up, and headed towards the hall.

After coming to the hall, Zhen Jia sat down and stared at the person who claimed to be his relative. After looking at him for a while, Zhen Jia frowned. He had no impression of the person in front of him. Zhen Jia stared at the visitor and said in a deep voice: "What is your name? What does it have to do with me? I don't know you in my memory."

The visitor smiled and said, "I am Cui Puyuan, from Ye County."

Zhen Jia's expression changed drastically, and he immediately understood the meaning.

People from Ye County!

Isn’t this Wang Lei’s person?

Cui Puyuan smiled slightly and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Zhen, don't worry, I am just an unknown man, no one knows me. This time I came to visit, I was entrusted by General Taishi to send Magistrate Zhen to a prosperous future."

"Cui Puyuan, you are so brave, come here!"

Zhen Jia's eyes turned, his face changed, and two yamen runners rushed in outside the hall.

"This person is confused and confusing, drag down and kill him!"

Zhen Jia's eyes were sharp, and the soldier pulled Cui Puyuan up and dragged him outside. Cui Puyuan did not resist and said lightly: "Mr. Zhen, I don't want to give you wealth and honor, but I just asked to die. Then no one blames others. If I die here, someone will avenge me."

Cui Puyuan raised his head, looking happy and unafraid.

Zhen Jia sat above the hall, his face gloomy. Seeing that the yamen runner was about to leave with Cui Puyuan, he shouted: "Slow down!" The soldiers stopped, and Zhen Jia waved his hand to repel the yamen runner.

At this time, Zhen Jia smiled and said with a smile: "Mr. Cui, I'm really sorry for offending me just now. It's a matter of my choice to do this. If Mr. Cui is Yuan Shao's person and deliberately blackmail me, wouldn't I die without a place to bury me?"

After sitting down, Cui Puyuan nodded and said, "Mr. Zhen is cautious and understandable."

Zhen Jia shook his head and said, "I'm forced to do anything!"

Cui Puyuan smiled slightly and continued: "Mr. Zhen is a smart person and should know the current situation. Since Yuan Shao sent people to assassinate the great scholars last year, scholars from all over the world have attacked Yuan Shao. Even Yuan Shao's uncle Yuan Wei and his relative Yuan Shu have all separated from Yuan Shao."

"They have many helpers, and those who have lost their power have few helpers. Nowadays, Yuan Shao has been betrayed by his relatives and surrounded by enemies, and will sooner or later be defeated by the Lord of Wangzhou."

"Who is Yuan Shao? He is just a county magistrate, but he has launched troops to cause chaos and the following are invading the superiors. Wangzhou's master led his army to attack, so he has the truth to attack the unrighteous way, and he follows the heavens and responds to people, and he will definitely win."

"Under Yuan Shao's rule, Bohai County, even if it is added to Anping and Qinghe countries, its strength is far from enough. On the other hand, Wangzhou Mu, Wen Xun Chen, Ju Su, Shen Pei and others, Wu Lu Bu, Huang Zhong, Dian Wei and others, with many talents."

"From a private perspective, the Zhen County Magistrate Zhen comes from the Zhen family of Wuji County, Zhongshan Kingdom, and is a distant relative. If the Zhen County Magistrate surrenders, and with Zhen Yan's influence under the lord's lord, the Zhen County Magistrate has the opportunity to go to another level."

"For the public and private, for the county magistrate, he followed Yuan Shao to die, and was loyal to the governor of Wangzhou to live."

Cui Puyuan looked calm and said, "The situation is clear now. Wangzhou Mu has accumulated several years in this battle, and he must have destroyed Yuan Shao in one fell swoop with the power of thunder. Doesn't the magistrate Zhen understand?"

After hearing this, Zhen Jia was sweating in cold sweat.

Zhen Jia knew the truth very well, but it was difficult to make a decision in the situation. Now that things are coming, Zhen Jia must make a decision and nodded and said, "Mr. Cui, please go back and tell General Taishi that Zhen Jia is willing to surrender."

"Okay, County Magistrate Zhen is indeed a wise person."

Cui Puyuan stood up and said goodbye, with a smug smile on the corner of his mouth.
