Chapter 690 County City Three

It is impossible to achieve any good results through negotiation.

Even if he could, he couldn't do it in just a few moments in the hall.

So the final decision is still made by one or two people.

I will give you the opportunity to discuss, so that you can participate when decisions are made in the future, and everyone agrees.

Compared with Hao Daozong, Wu Xiong is not a pure warrior.

That's right, if he was a pure martial artist, maybe he wouldn't have the chance to come to Cheng'an County this time.

If Wu Xiong had to choose now, he would rather not take this opportunity.

Too late!

If he leaves Cheng'an County now, he may have to hide his name and wander around the world.

He had held a high position for more than ten years and never thought that he would spend the rest of his life in exile.

And who can guarantee that one can survive by being anonymous and living in exile?

What if you are caught just a few days after running away, or if you encounter bandits and road bandits?

In short, Wu Xiong would not give up his current status and leave his official position unless he had to.

Even if the battle is defeated and Chengan County is lost, as long as others are still alive, there is still hope of recovery in the future.

After a long time, Wu Xiong coughed several times, interrupting the increasingly lively lobby.

It would be too difficult to get a group of warriors to discuss something calmly.

One second they might be able to remain peaceful, but the next second they might be rolling up their sleeves and beating each other up.

After a long beating, the two of them were exhausted and returned to a state where they could negotiate.

At this time, there was no fighting in the lobby of the Sheriff's Mansion, but the verbal exchange was very lively.

It’s just the eighteenth generation of ancestors who didn’t greet each other.

Wu Xiong could only interrupt them, otherwise this place would become a scolding arena for them.

Hearing Wu Xiong's cough, the lobby gradually became quiet.

People who have no eyesight will not continue to scream when their colleagues around them become quiet.

That would not only be a lack of vision, but also stupidity.

Stupid people will not survive now.

...

The deliberations in the Sheriff's Mansion are not over yet, but no matter what result they come up with, it will be invalidated soon.

Battle reports from the front line were sent to the county.

Wu Xiong's face showed bitterness again.

How melancholy!

Why isn't there any good news?

Wu Xiong once again summoned the generals in the county and city.

"Have you all seen the battle reports from the front line? We were defeated! We were defeated miserably! Very miserably!"

"I just want to ask you one question now. If the rebels come, can you defend the county?"

After Wu Xiong asked, there was a long silence.

The generals wanted to answer loudly and immediately: "Yes!"

As long as the rebels come, we will wipe them out of the county!

But no one spoke at the moment.

None of them had confidence that they could defend the county under the attack of the Divine Guards.

There are still 20,000 elite soldiers in the county city, 20,000 county soldiers, and 50,000 to 60,000 elite soldiers can be recruited at any time.

Even so, no one dares to guarantee that the county will be defended.

Looking at them, Wu Xiong already had the answer.

"Go down and prepare. The rebels may arrive outside the city at any time."

After all the Shun generals left, Wu Xiong found the confidants he had brought from the royal capital.

"You lead people to guard the city gate, you know what to do."

"Understood, no one is allowed to leave the city without the general's order."

Wu Xiong nodded with satisfaction, "Well, go ahead. Don't be afraid of who they are. I will make the decision for you."

"yes."

Valley\u0026lt;/span\u0026gt;......

That night, Wu Xiong's henchmen led people to intercept dozens of carriages at the east and south gates. They had everything on them, most of them valuables.

There are also a small number of family members and food.

Without exception, they were all detained and driven back to the city.

However, in order to maintain stability in the city, Wu Xiong returned most of the property and all personnel.

The food must be withheld, and no one can go back!

In a luxurious mansion in the city, several old men were gathering together to discuss yesterday's events.

The atmosphere was solemn.

They have already made concessions and only transferred some property and family members, but even this is not allowed!

You are ministers and generals of the imperial court, and you have the responsibility to defend your territory. We are not!

We are just ordinary people. What’s wrong with going to other counties to escape the war?

Why don't we get out of town?

"That's too much! Why aren't we allowed to leave the city?"

"Even if we are not allowed to leave the city, they have also withheld all our food. Who doesn't know how important food will be in the future? Why did they withhold the food?"

"Why? Just because they have tens of thousands of troops in their hands."

"well!"

They all know the importance of food, how could those generals not know that.

It’s impossible to get the food back!

"Don't think about food anymore. It's just a trial anyway. What we have to consider now is how to deal with the next situation."

"I must have experienced what happened the night before yesterday. Everyone knows that it is more difficult to get out of the city than we imagined. I have received accurate news that the imperial army's frontline was defeated and the rebels will soon invade the county. By then we will What should be done?”

Several people in this room are from aristocratic families who have been friends with each other for generations in Cheng'an County.

In normal times, a few families may occasionally get into trouble, but when it comes to life and death, they are all on their own.

If it weren't for the Divine Guards to attack the county, the three of them together would be enough to affect the situation in Cheng'an County.

But now,

The Divine Guards will not tolerate them.

The bad reputation of the Divine Guards has long been spread among the families of Shun Kingdom.

Although Yang Yuan could not kill all the aristocratic families from all over the country, he was not merciless in killing the aristocratic families with bad reputation and bad records.

Several families in Cheng'an County consider themselves not to be notorious families, but who knows if the rebels would think so?

"Getting out of the city is the best option. If you can't get out of the city, you have to be prepared to break the city. I'm not optimistic about the army."

"Don't you think highly of the army? Just surrender to the rebels. Once they arrive, we will unite to open the city gate and welcome them into the city!"

"No!"

"no!"

Although everyone here is from aristocratic families in Cheng'an County, their business spans the north and south of Shun State.

Now that most of the business in the north has been lost, we can’t lose the business in the south too!

But only they themselves know what they think.

Many changes in the county finally attracted the attention of ordinary people.

"The price of food has increased again, and the rebels are coming!"

"The city gate is also closed during the day. I even want to take my mother to the countryside to hide for a while!"

"Now the inner city is not allowed to enter, and it is not allowed to leave the city. It is better to store more food, hide at home and don't come out casually, or be careful of being raped."

There are endless descriptions of life in the county town. Yang Yuan took Shen Quan, Ma Teng and Li Ye to a place less than a hundred miles away from the county town.

"Reporting to my lord, there is Shunjun's fortress not far ahead. We have entered the defense circle of Cheng'an County."

Normal cities would not have such a large defense circle in normal times. The generals in the county city knew that the Divine Guards were about to attack, so they expanded the scope of defense.

To be precise, it should be the detection range, not the defensive range.

Now it is too late for them to shrink their troops and defend the county. How can they disperse their troops to defend the periphery?

They just want to know when and from which direction the Divine Guards will arrive at the county.
