It’s late at night, but the county government office in Xinping County is brightly lit.
The magistrate of Xinping County is named Hou Fang, who was re-established by Wang Can after he killed the original magistrate Cui Zhen.
At that time, Wang Can killed a group of people crazily and used thunderous means to frighten the wealthy families in Xinping County.
However, Wang Can later provided enough benefits to support Hou Fang, the patriarch of a large family in the county, to serve as the magistrate of Xinping County.
Hou Fang was appointed as the county magistrate, and he was very happy.
Previously, Wang Can had won consecutive battles, and the military front was too fierce, and he was the king of Shu in Yizhou.
Hou Fang stood next to Wang Can's big tree, feeling complacent in his heart.
He was even more happy thinking about the bright future ahead.
However, just one month after he took office, Ma Teng led an army of 90,000 to kill him, and Han Sui was among them, which made Hou Fang fearful.
Ma Teng and Han Sui were both top figures in Xiliang, with full prestige.
They led troops to fight together, putting Hou Fang into a difficult decision.
Hou Fang now belongs to Wang Can, but Ma Teng and Han Sui's 90,000 troops are approaching, and he can't stop them at all.
However, if he surrenders and Wang Can leads his troops to fight back later, wouldn't he be asking for his own death?
No matter what, Hou Fang had a hard time making a choice.
At this time, Hou Fang was sitting in the hall, with Hou Fang's staff sitting below him.
Hou Fang sighed, with a defeated expression on his face, and said: "I thought that I became the magistrate of Xinping County because of the virtues accumulated by my ancestors of the Hou family, and that is why I have the benefits today.
But now Ma Teng and Han Sui led an army of 90,000 to kill Come on, we can't stop them at all.
Well, tomorrow morning, if Ma Teng and Han Sui attack the city, they will definitely not be able to stop them.
I will be dead after the city is broken."
Below, a fat staff member said: "Sir, why don't we open the city and surrender?"
Hou Fang sighed again and said: "Of course I have considered this matter, but what will we do if the King of Shu comes back with his troops?"
At this time, another aide with a clear appearance said: "Sir, I also think we should surrender.
The only way out is surrender."
Hou Fang frowned when he heard this, with a puzzled expression on his face.
He just said that he had explained the reason clearly, but his staff insisted on surrendering.
There must be a reason.
Hou Fang leaned forward slightly and asked in a deep voice: "Sir, why do you teach me?"
The slender-looking staff member sat up straight and said seriously: "If we surrender to Ma Teng now, we will definitely get Ma Teng's consent.
In this way, Ma Teng will not kill you, and you can save your life.
However, if it is the king of Shu, big The army is back.
Once the King of Shu defeats Ma Teng and we surrender to the King of Shu, we will directly tell the King of Shu that we are helpless and have to surrender, but we still think of the King of Shu.
In this way, we can save the Lord. location.”
Hou Fang frowned, with a solemn expression on his face.
Obviously, this is what a fool does.
The fat staff member seemed to have seen through Hou Fang's thoughts and continued: "Sir, if you want to end from one end, you must have enough strength.
We have no troops, no weapons, and the walls of Xinping County are not strong enough.
Therefore, Xinping The county's power cannot stop Ma Teng, we can only surrender."
After hearing this, Hou Fang sighed helplessly.
He looked up and looked out of the hall.
After a long time, he said: "Okay, Kaicheng will surrender early tomorrow morning."
Qing Zhuo's aide said: "Sir, if you want to surrender, it would be better tonight.
Only by rushing overnight can Ma Teng not take away your official position and remain useful."
Hou Fang's expression changed.
If so, he would be branded as Ma Teng.
Qinghuo's staff added: "If you are worried, you can send a trusted confidant to the direction where Wang Can is leading the troops and tell Wang Can that he is pretending to surrender.

In this way, you can gain not only Ma Teng's trust, but also Wang Can's trust."
Chan’s trust, no matter who wins, you will be as stable as a rock and continue to gain trust.”
"good" After Hou Fang heard this, he immediately laughed.
However, a hint of worry flashed in the eyes of the Qinghui staff member.
Although this move is good, once Ma Teng discovers the situation, Hou Fang will end up very miserable.
Hou Fang ignored this and said, "Two gentlemen, please go and have a rest.
I will make arrangements right now."
The fat staff and the slim staff stood up, bowed their hands to Hou Fang, then turned and left.
Hou Fang also got up and wrote a letter, instructing his close soldiers to leave quietly when he left the city gate and report the news.
Hou Fang summoned the officials and soldiers of Xinping County and left the county in a mighty manner.
Not long after, the group of people came out of the city gate and rushed towards Ma Teng and Han Sui's camp.
Since Han Sui and Ma Teng arrived one after another and were physically exhausted, no scouts were sent to monitor the movements in Xinping County.
In the eyes of Ma Teng and Han Sui, Xinping County is like a little ant that can be crushed to death at any time.
Therefore, both of them went to bed early and did not continue to deal with official duties.
When Hou Fang arrived at the camp with a torch and under the moonlight, he was stopped outside by soldiers patrolling the camp.
The soldiers in the camp quickly gathered and surrounded Hou Fang and others.
Hou Fang told the patrolling general about the surrender and asked the general to inform Ma Teng.
When the general heard this, he was very happy.
It would be best if we could avoid fighting.
The general hurriedly woke Ma Teng and told him that the magistrate of Xinping County had come to surrender.
Then, the general went to take the people brought by Hou Fang to the Chinese army's tent.
Hou Fang and his party waited for about a quarter of an hour.
Ma Teng, Han Sui, Ma Chao, Yan Xing, Ma Xiu and other generals from the army all arrived, and they all supported Hou Fang who came to surrender.
Hou Fang knew about Ma Teng.
When he saw Ma Teng sitting down, he immediately bowed his head and said, "General Ma is coming with his army.
We know that we are outnumbered and are willing to open the city and surrender.
Please invite General Ma to enter the city."
When Ma Teng heard this, he felt happy.
However, he became deeply jealous of Han Sui.
Han Sui was so powerful that he was worried about whether he could suppress Han Sui.
However, this thought flashed through Ma Teng's mind, and he immediately reassured Hou Fang that he would not use troops against Xinping County.
After Ma Teng spoke for a while, he asked Hou Fang to return to the city.
He was not so happy that he entered Xinping County overnight.
Instead, he waited until tomorrow to go to Xinping County with a large army.
In this way, Ma Teng will not be in danger.
After Hou Fang got Ma Teng's promise, he felt relieved and no longer worried.
He returned to Xinping County in a happy mood, but after Ma Teng dismissed Han Sui and others, he left Ma Chao in the big tent.
At this moment, only Ma Chao and Ma Teng were in the tent.
Ma Chao asked: "Father, what can I do?"
Ma Teng wanted to tell Ma Chao about Han Sui, but the two armies were allies and he felt it was inappropriate to say it.
Finally, Ma Teng waved his hand and said, "It's nothing.
You can go back.
We will enter Xinping County tomorrow."
Ma Chao was puzzled and left with full of doubts.
Early the next morning, Ma Teng and Han Sui led their army to Xinping County, and Hou Fang surrendered at Kaicheng.

After the army entered the city, Ma Teng immediately issued an order to have Hou Fang pull out all the people who fell to Wang Can and kill them all.
No one who fell to Wang Can survived.
This killing killed countless more people.
A month ago, Wang Can massacred a group of people.
A month later, Ma Teng slaughtered another group of people.
In fact, Han Sui persuaded Ma Teng to recruit these people for their use.
However, Ma Teng was wary of Han Sui and naturally would not agree.
The more Han Sui tried to persuade him, the more he disagreed, so he killed countless people and made everyone in Xinping County fear him.
After this incident, the wealthy families in Xinping County were almost wiped out.
As for the county magistrate Hou Fang, he was as stable as a mountain because of the advice of his staff, and there was no danger at all. s: The fourth update is completed, it’s time to call it a day and rest
