It is impossible to negotiate any good results.

Even if you can, you can't come out in just a few moments in the hall.

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

I gave you a chance to discuss, and you will participate in making decisions 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 warrior, maybe he wouldn't have the chance to come to Cheng'an County this time.

If the present Wu Xiong were to choose, he would rather not have this opportunity.

It's a pity that it's too late!

If he left Cheng'an County now, he might have to remain anonymous and wander the world.

He has been in a high position for more than ten years, and he never thought of spending the second half of his life in upheaval.

And who can guarantee that anonymity and wandering will survive?

If you are caught within a few days of running away, or you encounter bandits and bandits, you will be wronged!

In short, unless it is absolutely necessary, Wu Xiong will not give up his current status and leave his official position.

Even if he is defeated and Cheng'an County is lost, as long as he is still alive, there is still hope for recovery in the future.

After a long time, Wu Xiong coughed a few times, interrupting the gradually bustling lobby.

It is too difficult for a group of warriors to discuss a matter calmly.

One second they may be able to maintain peace, but the next they may roll up their sleeves and beat each other up.

After a long meal, the two were exhausted and returned to a state where they could discuss again.

At this time, there was no fight in the lobby of the Sheriff's Mansion, but the verbal confrontation was very heated.

They almost didn't greet each other's eighteen generations of ancestors.

Wu Xiong could only interrupt them, otherwise this place would become a place for them to scold.

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

People without eyesight will not continue to scream when their colleagues around them are quiet.

That would be more than blindness, it would be stupid.

Stupid people can't live 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 in a short time.

The battle report from the front line was sent to the county town.

Bitterness appeared on Wu Xiong's face again.

Melancholy!

Why is there no good news!

Wu Xiong summoned the Shun generals in the county again.

"You've seen the battle reports from the front line! We lost! We lost miserably! Very miserable!"

"I just want to ask you one thing now, if the rebels come, can you hold the county?"

After Wu Xiong finished asking, there was a long silence.

The Shun generals really wanted to answer loudly 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 the confidence to hold the county city under the attack of the guards.

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

Even so, no one dared to guarantee that they would be able to defend the county.

Seeing them, Wu Xiong already has 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 his confidant who had brought him from the capital.

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

"Understood, as long as there is no order from the general, no one is allowed to leave the city."

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

"yes."

Valley...

That night, Wu Xiong's confidants led people to intercept dozens of carriages at the east and south city gates. There were everything on them, most of which were valuables.

There is also a small part of family members and food.

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

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

The food must be withheld, and whoever comes will not go back!

In a luxurious house in the city, several old men were gathering to discuss what happened yesterday.

The atmosphere is very dignified.

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

You are the ministers and generals of the imperial court, and you have the responsibility to guard the land, we are not!

We are just ordinary people, what's the problem if we want to escape the war and go to other counties?

Why don't we get out of town?

"It's too much! Why don't you let us go out of town?"

"It's fine if we don't let them go out of the city, and we have withheld all our food. Who doesn't know how important food is in the future. Why should they withhold 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.

It is impossible to get food back!

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

"I must have experienced what happened the night before yesterday. Everyone understands that it is more difficult to get out of the city than we imagined. I have received accurate news. The front line of the imperial army has been defeated. The rebels will soon come to the county. By then we will What should I do?"

The few people in this room are from generations of aristocratic families in Cheng'an County.

In normal times, some dirty things happen occasionally in several families, but when life and death are at stake, they are all on their own.

If it weren't for the guards to attack the county, the combination of several of them would be enough to affect the situation in Cheng'an County.

But now,

The Divine Guard will not be used to them.

The notoriety of the Divine Guard Army has long been circulated among the aristocratic families of Shun Kingdom.

Although Yang Yuan can't be said to kill all the aristocratic families from all over the world, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com is merciless in killing the aristocratic families with bad reputations.

The few families in Cheng'an County don't think they are notorious families, but who knows if the rebels think so?

"Going out of the city is the best choice. If you can't get out of the city, you must be prepared to break the city. I don't like the officers and soldiers."

"Not optimistic about the officers and soldiers? Why not just surrender to the rebels? As soon as they arrive, we will unite and open the city gates to welcome them into the city!"

"No!"

"no!"

Although everyone here is from aristocratic families in Cheng'an County, their businesses spread all over the north and south of Shun Country.

Now the business in the north has almost been lost, and the business in the south can no longer be lost!

But what they think in the end only they know.

The many changes in the county finally attracted the attention of ordinary people.

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

"The gates of the city are also closed during the day, and I still want to take my old lady 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, and be careful of being pulled."

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

"My lord, there is Shunjun's fort not far ahead, and we have entered the defensive circle of Cheng'an County."

A normal city would not have such a large defense circle in peacetime. The Shun generals in the county knew that the guards were about to attack, so they expanded the scope of defense.

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

Now that they are shrinking their forces, it is too late to defend the county, so how can they disperse their forces to defend the periphery.

They just wanted to know when and from which direction the guards arrived at the county town.
