Looking at the team's lead, the county magistrate felt that he was about to die. It was normal for Cao Cao to open the door to greet Cao Cao, but now that Yuan Shu's army was coming, what should he do?
"County magistrate, what should we do?"
The team leader glanced at the county magistrate, with a flash of fear in his eyes. He was really afraid that his immediate boss had some idea of being loyal to His Majesty, and that sentence was over.
"what to do?
What else can be done?
My official position was given by the Han Dynasty court, but I am also a parent official of Jurong. I cannot open the city gates and dedicate the city to the city for the sake of my own official uniform, regardless of the lives of the people."
The county magistrate looked at the team's rate and asked, what can he do now?
Even Cao Cao's remnant army couldn't afford to offend Cao Cao's Jizhou army, let alone defeat Cao Cao. The consequences of not surrendering and surrendering were the same, and Jurong couldn't be defended at all.
"promise."
The team leader glanced at the county magistrate. He had never felt that the county magistrate was so shrewd.
Just as he was about to leave, he turned back and looked at the county magistrate.
"County magistrate, um, do you want to come with me?"
"Oh oh oh, yes, I'll go with you."
After hearing the team leader's words, the county magistrate suddenly realized, raised his short legs and rushed directly to the city gate with the team leader.
"Crunch."
The heavy city gate slowly opened, and the county magistrate bent down and walked out of the city gate.
"What did I say?"
Seeing the city gate open and the magistrate bending over, Gao Shun smiled at Wen Chou.
"with your's."
Wen Chou also had nothing to say. He didn't expect that Gao Shun was right, and the county magistrate came to offer the city.
"Jurong County Magistrate Zhou Pu pays homage to the generals."
The county magistrate came to Gao Shun and Wen Chou and bowed to them.
"Zhou Pu, right? You did a good job. You saved yourself and the people in Jurong."
Wen Chou rode forward and glanced at the groveling Zhou Pu.
"What Zhou Pu should do at this time is that Yuan Zhoumu is a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, and my dedication of the city is just an act that is expected by the public."
Zhou Pu lowered his head and did not dare to look into Wen Chou's eyes. Although he was the lord of the county and the top leader in Jurong, facing Wen Chou, he was just a minor character.
"Okay, you did a great job, let's go into the city."
Without talking nonsense to Zhou Pu, Wen Chou directly drove his war horses and led the army behind him into Jurong City.
Wen Chou and Gao Shun were seated in the county government office, while Zhou Pu stood solemnly in front of them.
"Zhou Pu, has Cao Mengde ever come to Jurong?"
"Reporting to the general, Governor Cao did come to Jurong, but they have already left."
After hearing Wen Chou's question, Zhou Pu did not dare to hide it.
"He left, where did he go?"
Hearing that Cao Cao had indeed arrived, Wen Chou stood up directly.
"Where he went, I don't know, maybe he went to Jiujiang County."
When facing Wen Chou, the county magistrate was immediately confused. How could he possibly know where Cao Cao had gone? Even if Cao Cao was willing to tell him, he had to dare to ask.
"Jiujiang County, okay, Zhou Pu, you are well prepared in Jurong. My lord's army of more than 100,000 people is on the way here. You must be well received when the time comes. If you neglect, you will risk your life."
After hearing that Cao Cao had gone to Jiujiang County, Wen Chou no longer wanted to stay here and wanted to hunt down Cao Cao.
"No, general, please rest assured, Zhou Pu will definitely receive Lord Zhou Mu's arrival with kindness."
When he heard that Yuan Shu was coming with an army of hundreds of thousands, Zhou Pu was so frightened that he peed. Fortunately, he did not serve the country with loyalty, otherwise he would have died without knowing how.
"Well, Gao Shun, let's not rest, let's just go after Cao Cao."
Wen Chou nodded, and then asked Gao Shun.
"Well, let's go."
Gao Shun also nodded. Now is indeed not the time to rest. It would be good if he could catch up with Cao Cao. Even if he couldn't catch up, he could still capture the cities along the way and open the way for the army to advance.
As soon as they left, Wen Chou and Gao Shun led the army directly towards Hushu without stopping.
Cao Cao and Yuan Shu marched separately and rushed directly into Shouchun City on fast horses.
"Urgent report from Wu County, urgent report from Wu County."
"Get out of the way, get out of the way."
"Don't stop me."
The scouts galloped all the way and came directly to Chen Wen's mansion.
"Sir, there is an urgent report from Wu County."
When Chen Wen heard that it was an urgent report from Wu County, he stood up directly.
"Tell me, what happened to Wu Jun?"
"Sir, Yuan Shu defeated Cao Cao's army in Dantu. Cao Cao led the remaining army to retreat to Danyang County. Now Yuan Shu's army is heading towards Danyang County to kill."
The scout took a breath and read out Dantu's battle report directly.
"What did you say?
Dantu was defeated, Cao Cao led the remaining army to retreat to Danyang?"
Hearing the scout's words, Chen Wen directly felt a basin of cold water poured on his head. He rushed over but still hesitated whether Lu Bu should lead his army to leave the east city to support Dantu. Now Dantu had been defeated by Yuan Shu?
"Absolutely true."
The scout nodded at Chen Wen.
"Come here, please call You Yu immediately, and Zhang Xun will come over to discuss matters."
Seeing the scout's confirmed nod, Chen Wen knew that something was serious.
"promise."
After a while, Zhang Xun and You Yu rushed directly to Chen Wen's mansion.
"grown ups?
What's wrong?"
Zhang Xun looked at Chen Wen's dark face, a little confused.
"Zhi'an, Yuan Shu attacked Dantu, Cao Cao was defeated and fled. Now he has led his troops to Danyang County."
Chen Wen directly told Zhang Xun and You Yu the battle report he had just received.
"impossible."
Hearing Chen Wen's words, You Yu's first reaction was nonsense. Cao Cao had an army of more than 100,000, and Dantu City had been fortified a lot in order to defend against Yuan Shu's attack. Now you are telling me that the city has been destroyed?
is it possible?
"Absolutely true."
Chen Wen shook his head. He also hoped that this was nonsense, but this was a fact that was more real than real gold.
"Lord, where is Cao Cao now?"
Hearing Chen Wen's definite answer, Zhang Xun knew that the current situation was extremely critical.
"I don't know where Cao Cao is now. The scouts said he has entered Danyang County."
To be honest, he really didn't know where Cao Cao was now. Anyway, what he knew was in Danyang County.
"My lord, you should immediately order Lu Bu to lead his army back from Dongcheng. Now Cao Mengde has two ways to go. One is to station in Jurong and rely on Jurong's solid defense to resist Yuan Shu. The other is to lead his army to Jiujiang County.
, guard Jiujiang with us."
Hearing that Cao Cao had entered Danyang County, Zhang Xun felt reassured. What he hoped most now was that Cao Cao could rely on Jurong to resist Yuan Shu and buy himself enough time to arrange everything.
"If Cao Mengde can really see the situation clearly, he will definitely understand that defending Danyang County is the best choice at the moment, but I am afraid that Cao Cao will worry about the loss and lead his troops back to Jiujiang County. Then we will be really in danger."
Zhang Xun only felt pain in his head. He was not Cao Cao, and Cao Cao was not his subordinate. How could he decide other people's choices?
"No matter what happens to him, immediately send people to Dongcheng, let Lu Bu lead 50,000 troops back to Liyang, and at the same time send 20,000 troops from Shouchun to go to Liyang first to prepare for the defense against Yuan Shu."
No matter what Cao Cao chooses now, he is already at an absolute disadvantage and can only take one step at a time.
"promise."
Chen Wen made the decision, Zhang Xun and You Yu couldn't help but look at each other, then each clasped their fists and walked out.
A fast horse ran out of Shouchun City and galloped towards Dongcheng.
