Linli County Government Hall.
The lanterns hanging on the wall illuminated the originally dark lobby.
Several maids did not dare to touch Yang Feng's bad luck.
After hanging the lanterns, they quietly left.
Yang Feng knelt down and sat behind the desk, feeling sad.
He originally thought that Linli County was the safest place in the past two or three months.
After all, it was surrounded by rivers on three sides and mountains on one side.
Such a terrain was naturally easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Earth, I didn’t expect it to become Jedi now.
Xu Huang, who was arranging the city defense, was called to the county government lobby.
He walked in and saw Yang Feng walking anxiously in the lobby with his hands behind his back.
He stepped forward and clasped his fists and said: "Chief, you are looking for me."
Yang Feng stopped, immediately turned around and said: "Gongming, from the morning until now, we have sent out five groups of sentries in succession.
Except for the first wave of sentries who escaped injured and escaped, there is no one in the remaining four groups of sentries.
Come back, now we don’t know anything about the situation of the imperial army, what should we do?”
Xu Huang also felt that the situation was not good.
In this way, it was very likely that the people in the imperial court knew the situation of the bandits very well, but they were completely confused about the situation of the imperial army.
How could the battle be lost before it was even fought?
What a head start.
Xu Huang thought for a while and then asked: "Chief, how did the first group of injured spies who escaped say where they encountered the imperial sentry?"
Yang Fengdao: "It's in the Yingzui Ridge area."
Xu Huang immediately walked to the map and looked at it, and quickly found the location of Yingzui Ridge.
He made a few gestures on the map with his fingers and said: "Yingzui Ridge is about eighty miles away from the county seat.
As usual, Detective Cavalry The sentry will generally conduct reconnaissance between ten and twenty miles in front of the main army, that is, It means that when the first group of detective sentries encountered the imperial reconnaissance cavalry, the imperial army was still 90 to 100 miles away from the county seat.
There were nearly 30,000 people in the imperial army.
They combined foot and cavalry and generally marched six times a day at a normal marching speed.
About ten miles, then they will arrive outside the city at noon tomorrow."
Yang Feng felt a little relieved and said: "We still have to send sentries out at night to detect the specific location of the imperial army, otherwise I will really feel uneasy."
Xu Huang thought for a while and shook his head, then suggested: "We have sent out five groups of scouts in succession.
Logically speaking, we should have news by now.
If my estimate is correct, I am afraid that they have all been killed by the imperial scouts.
Well, even if we send people to investigate again, I'm afraid there will be no return.
Instead, we can send some people to hide twenty miles outside the city in several directions, and come back every two hours to report.
When the army arrives, we will get the news in time."
After hearing this, Yang Feng clapped his hands and said, "Okay, that's it."
In fact, even if this arrangement went on, Xu Huang's heart could not be settled.
He was very aware of the virtues of those bandits.
There was no military discipline and sense of responsibility at all.
The spies sent out to find out the news about the imperial army were likely to arrive halfway.
Robbery of a village, or being so frightened that you became a deserter without even saying hello after hearing the news that the imperial army was coming.
This kind of thing has happened before.
There is no news about the imperial army.
This matter is like a knife hanging above his head, as if it may be cut down at any time.
This is how Xu Huang feels now.
Xu Huang shook his head secretly.

He was also arrogant and would run away before meeting someone.
This was not his style.
Xu Huang rebelled against Yang Feng and joined the imperial army.
Xu Huang thought about it and shook his head to reject the idea.
Why should the commander of the imperial army believe that he was sincere and not a fake surrender?
He had been in the den of thieves for more than a year.
Who still believes that he is loyal to the imperial court?
Thinking of this, Xu Huang couldn't help but take a deep breath and secretly lamented the tricks of fate.
Xu Huang was very depressed.
He was conceited about his talent, but he couldn't display it under Yang Feng because he was not one of their own.
Yang Feng's leaders also rejected him because they were jealous of his bravery and talent.
Although Yang Feng admired him He, but did not give him military power.
He is currently responsible for the defense of the city wall and can only assist him, and cannot command the bandit soldiers at all.
"This is the last time.
Let me repay your gratitude.
If I, Xu Gongming, do not die, from now on you will walk on your single-plank bridge and I will walk on mine."
Xu Huang stood under the eaves outside the county government hall and secretly got off.
After making this decision, he climbed on his horse and headed towards the city wall without hesitation.
When he came to the city wall, Xu Huang raised his eyes and looked into the distance.
It was pitch black and he couldn't see anything.
He suddenly realized that the city walls in this county were too low and too low.
This time the imperial court sent the most elite Northern Army.
That was the army that quelled the Yellow Turban Rebellion that swept over half of the Han Dynasty within one year.
It was really not easy for them to attack the city.
Thinking of this, Xu Huang ran down the city wall, mounted his horse and ran back to the county government office.
Yang Feng was puzzled by his return and asked: "Gongming, why are you back?"
Xu Huang cupped his fists and said: "Chief, I just remembered something.
The county wall is too low and not strong enough.
It cannot withstand the attack of the imperial army.
With the elite level of the Northern Army, it only takes two or three days to use large siege equipment."
Just destroy the walls and break the city.”
When Yang Feng heard that he was in great distress, he hurriedly said: "What should we do?"
Xu Huang suggested: "For the current plan, we can only send a group of soldiers and horses to set up a solid camp outside the city, and the city will be the horns of each other, so that the imperial army will not dare to use the enemy easily.
No later than tomorrow at noon, the imperial court will The army will arrive, so there is not much time left for us.
We must send troops out of the city overnight to build camps, otherwise it will be too late."
When it came to a matter of life and death, Yang Feng dared to take it lightly and couldn't act indifferent.
He immediately ordered all his leaders to be called to discuss who to send out to build the camp.
The bandit leaders came to the lobby one after another.
When they learned the purpose of Yang Feng calling them here, they all complained that no one was willing to take people out to build a camp on such a cold night.
Besides, even if they were willing, they had no money.
I'm afraid the bandit soldiers and brave men below will not be happy either.
They are about to force them out of the city to work.
Those bandit soldiers and brave men will definitely hate them to death.
The leader of the bandit army, Yi Ping, pointed at Xu Huang and cursed: "Xu, why did you think that they were from the same place?
You are trying to take this opportunity to retaliate against us, right?

Since it was you who brought up this matter, you should Go ahead, I won’t go anyway.”
Xu Huang said calmly: "Of course I can go, but I can't set up the camp by myself.
If you give me 10,000 troops, I will immediately lead the troops out of the city to build the camp."
Yi Ping looked like he suddenly realized something, pointed at Xu Huang and shouted: "Oh, I understand, after working on it for a long time, it turns out you want military power."
At this time, another bandit leader, Li Dong, said: "I'll go, Xu Gongming will come with me, but I don't have 10,000 soldiers and horses.
Please ask the leader to allocate another 5,000 men to me."
Yang Feng's eyes swept around several of his subordinates, and finally landed on Yi Ping and said: "Yi Ping, you take five thousand people to camp out of the city with Li Dong, with Li Dong as the leader, and Yi Ping and Xu Huang as your deputies. " Yi Ping said with a grimace: "Leader, can't I just change people?"
"If you don't go, who will?"
Yang Feng was also annoyed and shouted loudly on the spot.
Each of these people pushed back and forth, becoming more and more outrageous.
He pointed at Yi Ping and shouted: "If you continue to be in a bad position in front of my leader and push back and forth when things happen, don't blame me for being ruthless in military law."
Yi Ping suddenly withered, and had no choice but to agree to lead his troops out of the city to camp with Li Dong.
The Northern Army camp and the Chinese Army tent.
Except that some lights were still on in the Chinese army's tent, the camp was pitch dark, and the patrols in the camp had also gone to rest.
Only open sentries and hidden sentries were left in charge of security duties.
This was to avoid being caught by Lin Lu County.
The bandit army discovered.
Regarding the safety of the camp, Liu Cheng was not worried at all.
Within a radius of ten to twenty miles outside the camp, there were surveillance posts and secret posts from the Northern Army everywhere, especially at every traffic intersection.
It spread to the camp for a while.
At this time, Liu Cheng was talking to Han Hao in the Chinese army's tent.
Han Hao's actions these days have won Liu Cheng's appreciation.
He himself also has the intention to be loyal to Liu Cheng.
Liu Cheng came to talk to him tonight to express his gratitude to him in the future.
Arrangements are made.
Liu Cheng said to Han Hao: "Yuan Si, among the officials in Hanoi, you are the most special one.
These days, the general has also seen that you are a loyal, courageous, fair and strict person.
The reason why the court lacks you now is Only then did the power of officials decline."
Han Hao quickly leaned forward and clasped his fists, saying, "General, that's a ridiculous compliment."
Liu Cheng continued: "You must also know that the current political affairs of the government are controlled by Dong Zhuo.
His perverse behavior and bullying of heaven and earth have aroused the anger of heaven and earth.
I speculate that the princes from all over the country will rebel sooner or later.
With the current situation of the court, I am afraid that it will not be able to stop it.
Due to the joint attack of the princes from all over the country, although I, the general, cannot understand what Dong Zhuo has done, and he is not the same person as him, everyone still agrees.
It is still the emperor of the day.
If the princes from all over the country rebel, nominally against Dong Zhuo, but actually against the emperor, they will naturally become my enemies.
If there is a day when the princes from all over the country rebel, I hope Yuan Si On the day when I can join the princes from all over the country, I will serve as the eyes and ears of the imperial court and report the princes’ plans and movements to the imperial court in a timely manner.”
Han Hao clasped his fists after hearing this and said sincerely: "How could Hao De have the general entrust him with such a confidential matter?
Since he trusts Han Hao, how can Hao betray the general?
He will do his best.
It's just that Hao is just an engaged person now and has a small official position."
He is humble, Qiehao comes from a humble family, is incompatible with other officials from aristocratic families in the Prefecture, and is deeply ostracized."
Liu Cheng smiled and said: "Don't worry, Yuan Si.
Since I have told you the matter, I will naturally pave the way for you.
I have sent someone to send a memorial to the capital to recommend you to be the governor of Hanoi County.

Although most of the official positions in the imperial court and local officials are decided by Dong Zhuo, now that the general is going to Hanoi, I am also wiping his ass.
If I recommend a prefect, Dong Zhuo will not refute my favor
