    Ju County, county government.

    Department Yazhong.

    County Magistrate Xie An is handling government affairs.

    Although Zhong You has to personally review the government affairs of Ju County nowadays, Zhong You leaves most matters to Xie An.  After Zhong You suppressed the big family and sorted out the government affairs, he was mainly busy understanding the situation in Ju County.

    So most of the time, Zhong You is in the local area.

    He now wants to travel everywhere.

    In this way, we can understand the situation of the entire Ju County.  If this step cannot be done, Zhong You will not be able to understand everything and handle government affairs accurately.

    During the day, Zhong You is at home.

    Will return in the evening.

    Sometimes, Zhong You even stayed in the countryside overnight and did not go back to the county office at night.

    Zhong You¡¯s courage also infected Xie An, who made him go all out to handle government affairs.  Zhong You is striving to get ahead and manage Ju County well, how can he hold him back?

    Although Zhong You often can¡¯t find anyone, people outside have left their contact addresses.

    If you really need something, you can contact me directly.

    When Xie An was handling government affairs, a government official came in and reported: "Xian Cheng, there are soldiers who have been arranged by the Prime Minister to send a message, saying that important letters have been sent back."

    Xie An said: "Invite people in."

    "yes!"

    The Yamen servant immediately went to deliver the order.

    Not long after, the soldiers who delivered the order entered the county government office, came to the county magistrate, handed over the letter directly, and said: "This is a letter from the Prime Minister, please handle it immediately."

    Xie An said: "I understand."

    After receiving the letter, he said: "You have worked hard on the long journey. Let's take a rest at the county government office."

    "No need."

    The soldier shook his head, turned around and left.

    Xie An ignored the soldiers and quickly opened the letter. However, when he saw the contents of the letter, his brows rose and the expression on his face became serious.

    The content of the letter is about being on guard against a sneak attack in Haiqu County.

    Let Ju County be prepared.

    Xie An is now the county magistrate. He is extremely responsible. When it comes to the security of Ju County, Wang Qi personally arranged for soldiers to deliver the letter. Xie An did not dare to have any carelessness.

    Wang Qi personally sent someone to deliver the message. If Haiqu County had not sent someone to sneak attack and this did not happen, then it would have been abandoned.  If soldiers from Haiqu County really made a sneak attack but did not arrange a defense, there might even be a problem in Ju County.

    Xie An, he must be blamed for all the deaths.

    Xie An did not dare to delay, so he immediately called the yamen and ordered the yamen to follow the address Zhong You left and notify Zhong You to return to Ju County to discuss important matters.

    After the government officials left, Xie An thought for a while and came up with a plan to deal with it.

    He is the county magistrate.

    In the absence of the county magistrate, he has full authority to handle government affairs on his behalf.

    Zhong You has not returned yet, so Xie An immediately called the county captain and asked the county captain to mobilize soldiers and horses in the city to stand guard at the four city gates.  In addition, sentinels were arranged to go directly to Ju County and the direction leading to Haiqu County to keep an eye on the situation in order to discover the situation in time.

    After Xie An arranged these two things, he sat down quietly and thought about whether there were any mistakes.

    Things might happen, and he had to prepare early.

    This must be arranged. If this step cannot be completed, if the opponent really comes to the city, even if he has defenses, he can resist it.  But in reality, it's not pretty enough.

    To do well, you must destroy the opponent.

    This is the best.

    Xie Jing thought quietly as time passed by little by little. When it was almost afternoon, Zhong You came back in a hurry.

    Zhong You has been outside almost all this time.  Xie An has always handled things steadily. Zhong You is very relieved and even praised Xie An many times.

    This is the first time Xie An invites him back.

    Zhong You looked solemn and asked, "Lao Xie, you called me back. You were so anxious and didn't say anything about it. You just said it was something big. What was it?"

    Xie An handed over the letter.

    Zhong You took it and took a quick look, the expression on his face became serious.

    Ju County may be attacked.

    It¡¯s a small thing.

    Once this happens, it will be a shocking event.

    Xie An continued: "Your Majesty, I have made two arrangements. First, arrange for troops to guard the four city gates.To ensure that we can respond at any time.  Second, arrange sentinels to lurk on the official road leading to Haiqu County to inquire for information.  Once the troops from Haiqu County enter our Ju County territory, we will get the news as soon as possible.  "

    Zhong You gradually calmed down and said, "Well done, this is how we should arrange it. If this thing doesn't happen, then that's it. If it does, it must be handled well."

    Xie An said: "The county respects the Mingjian."

    Zhong You thought for a while and said: "We have two thousand soldiers and horses in Ju County, plus hundreds of government officials, totaling more than two thousand people. The soldiers and horses from Haiqu County came to attack. After all, they also faced the Lord's attack, so they sent  There can¡¯t be too many troops coming.¡±

    "We are prepared, and it is not difficult to guard Ju County."

    "But I think that if something like this really happens, we will consider more than just guarding."

    "It should be a counterattack."

    Zhong You's eyes were sharp and he said: "The existence of crisis is often accompanied by opportunities. Once we seize this opportunity and destroy the invading enemy, we can help the lord. Lao Xie, what do you think?"

    Xie An also looked in agreement and said: "The county magistrate is wise, I think so too."

    Zhong You said: "Do you have any ideas?"

    Xie An had a faint smile on his face and said, "After I arranged for someone to notify the county magistrate, I have been thinking about it. At the moment, I have an immature idea."

    Zhong You said: "Tell me and listen."

    Xie An said: "If Ju County is attacked, at least on the surface, it should be a sneak attack from Haiqu County. The opponent is a surprise attack this time, so I think that once the enemy arrives, we will use our tricks and let the opponent enter the city."

    "There is a Wengcheng in Ju County."

    "When the opponent enters the Wengcheng, we will pull up the suspension bridge and block the opponent in the city. Of course, because the opponent rushes straight into the Wengcheng, all the troops may not enter the city immediately."

    "In order to allow all the other party's people to enter the city, we need to open the city gate connecting the inner city and allow the other party to enter the inner city. However, we will move all the people away from the area after entering the inner city."

    Xie An said in a deep voice: "Then, we set up an ambush in the inner city. With such a long distance, we can catch the turtle in the jar. But the only tricky thing is that the time to pull up the suspension bridge must be grasped."

    After listening to this, Zhong You¡¯s eyes became brighter.

    This plan is feasible.

    The most important thing is how to set up the trap in the ambush. This is the most important thing.

    Zhong You thought for a while and continued: "Lao Xie, I think your suggestion is feasible. However, in order to prevent the opponent from running around in the city, my considerations are as follows,this way, this way, it should not be possible  What¡¯s the big problem?¡±

    Zhong You elaborated on a detailed plan.

    ??

    Zhong You smiled and said, "This is natural."

    "Report!"

    At this moment, a soldier hurriedly entered and came to the hall.

    The soldier knelt on one knee and reported: "Your Majesty, we have discovered the army from Haiqu County. They are rushing towards our Ju County. They have about three thousand troops. They are about 300 meters away from our county seat.  It¡¯s an hour and a half away.¡±

    "Hahaha¡­¡­"

    Zhong You suddenly laughed.

    He stood up and said: "Lao Xie, God is really helping me. If I say it, I will come."

    Xie An said: "Congratulations to the county magistrate."

    The soldier was a little confused.

    This is how the same thing?

    Zhong You did not explain. He waved his hand for the soldiers to continue to inquire about the information. Then he looked at Xie An and said, "Old Xie, make arrangements immediately. Within an hour and a half, all plans must be prepared."

    "knew."

    Xie An immediately went to make arrangements.

    Zhong You stood in the hall, his eyes sparkling with deep anticipation.

    His chance has come.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
