The Super Summoning System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1028 Taking Over Military Power
Facing the murderous Huo An, the county magistrate also backed away in fright.

However, Lianxian county lieutenant was a soldier left under Niu Fu's command back then, but this county magistrate was an official appointed by the imperial court through the imperial examination.

Therefore, although the county magistrate is a civil official, he is not comparable to the incompetent county lieutenant who was about to flee in the face of the Mongolian cavalry.

The county magistrate retreated a few steps, stabilized his mind, and said to Huo An: "Huo An, I have served as the county magistrate in Lian County for many years. I don't say that I have achieved great achievements, but I dare to say that I love the people like a son. I have never done anything wrong to the court. , I'm sorry for the people's affairs.

Although I am a civil servant, I also know how to report to the emperor and the common people. Now that the Mongols are attacking, how can I abandon the common people and run for my life? "

When Huo An heard the words, seeing the county magistrate's upright face, he knew that he would never abandon the people and run for his life.

Huo An quickly put his sword back into its sheath, cupped his hands towards the county magistrate and said, "Now that the county lieutenant is dead, you, magistrate, are the lord of the county. Please command the troops and horses to resist Mongolia!"

When the county magistrate heard this, his head suddenly became as big as a bucket.

Although he is the head of a county, he is only a civil servant, so it is not a problem for him to handle government affairs, but it is difficult for him to command the troops.What's more, now that Mongolia is attacking, there are only three thousand soldiers and horses, how to resist Mongolia, Huo An wants the county magistrate to take over the soldiers and horses, the county magistrate has no clue at all, and he doesn't know what to do.

Seeing the magistrate's face full of hesitation, Huo An said in a deep voice, "Why, you don't want to?"

The county magistrate was full of doubts: "I'm just a civil servant, and I don't know anything about marching and fighting. How do you ask me to command soldiers and horses?"

At this moment, Jia Fu and the generals in the room also came out.

Seeing the county magistrate, several generals ran over quickly, pointed to Huo Anjiafu and said, "Master County Magistrate, the two of them disobeyed and killed the county magistrate, please let the county magistrate make the decision." .”

The county magistrate couldn't help slandering in his heart: "You generals can't beat him. What do you want me, a civil servant, to do?"

The county magistrate said to the generals in a deep voice: "The county lieutenant, seeing the Mongolian attack, intends to abandon the people and flee for his life, and he will die. Now the priority should be to resist the Mongolia. Huo An killed the county lieutenant, and we will talk about it later."

"However, there are tens of thousands of Mongolian soldiers and horses, and our Lian County has only [-] soldiers and horses. How can we resist!"

"That's right, with a twenty-fold gap between soldiers and horses, trying to resist Mongolia is like hitting a stone with an egg."

Hearing this, all the generals and schools complained incessantly.

The county magistrate shouted in a deep voice: "We were appointed by the imperial court to be responsible for protecting the territory and the people in Lian County. Although tens of thousands of Mongolian soldiers and horses are attacking now, we have to retreat. So, how can we be worthy of the imperial court's Long En and the common people? The grace of nurturing. Not to mention the tens of thousands of troops sent by Mongolia, even one hundred thousand, and a million soldiers approaching the city, we will live and die with Lian County."

When everyone heard the words, they all showed shame.

A military marquis stood up and said: "Of course we are not afraid of death. Now that the county lieutenant has been killed, then please ask the county magistrate to command us to resist Mongolia. We will live and die with Lian County!"

After all, things still come back to this matter.

The county magistrate hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I'm a civil servant. It's not a problem for you to ask me to raise food and grass. But I don't know anything about commanding troops and horses. Zhang Junhou, you are the deputy of the county lieutenant. You once led troops to suppress Bandit, if you have experience in leading an army, you will be in command of the army."

Zhang Junhou immediately waved his hands and said, "No, no, I'm not the material to lead the army! Li Junhou, why don't you come here!"

"You old Zhang can't do it, how can I do it?"

"Cai Junhou, how are you coming?"

"I can't either!"

When all the soldiers were faced with such a heavy burden, they all backed down. This responsibility was too great for them to bear.

Seeing that all the soldiers refused and were unwilling to command the troops, the county magistrate blamed Huo An: "Huo An, Huo An, you really shouldn't have killed the county lieutenant impulsively. Now that the county lieutenant is dead, who else is there in Lian County?" He can command an army."

Huo An looked at the soldiers, and said with disdain: "You big men, you can't do this or that when things come to an end. Since you can't do it, just let me take command of the army!"

A group of military princes heard the words, looked at Huo An and said angrily: "You are a mere scout captain, with only a dozen or so cavalry under your command, how can He De command three thousand soldiers and horses?"

Huo An snorted coldly when he heard the words: "All of you are timid and afraid to take over the military power. You are not as brave as me, and your martial arts are not as good as me. You dare not command these three thousand soldiers, so let me be the commander."

"That won't let you, a scout captain, be in charge of soldiers and horses!" All the military lords said firmly.

The county magistrate looked at Huo An and said, "Huo An, if you were asked to command the army, what would you do?"

Huo An replied without hesitation: "The Mongol soldiers are coming soon, and we have three things to do. The first is to gather the soldiers and horses in the city, young and strong, to gather usable forces. The second is to strengthen the walls and clear the fields, and gather the nearby people Enter the city to prevent innocent people from being slaughtered by Mongols. The third sent troops to Longxi, Guanzhong notified the two governors, Chang Dudu and Zhuge, to send troops to support them."

"This..." Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay when they heard this, they just felt that the Mongolian attack was irresistible, their minds were muddled, and they couldn't think clearly.But the three things Huo An said are in order, and they must be done now.

The county magistrate gritted his teeth, looked at Huo An and said, "Since you have this ability, let you command the troops to resist Mongolia. Lian County, from the official to the small writer, is at your command."

"Lord County Magistrate, how can this be possible?" All the military lords objected after hearing the words.

The county magistrate angrily said: "All of you are useless, now there is only one Huo An who dares to stand up, who else can I use if I don't use him?"

When everyone heard the words, although they were dissatisfied with Huo An, they did not dare to stand up and preside over the overall situation to defend against Mongolia. They could only listen to the words of the county magistrate and obey Huo An's orders.

The prestige of Huo An mentioned earlier means that Huo An has prestige among ordinary soldiers. It is impossible for a scout captain to have prestige among generals.At the end of the Han Dynasty, the ranks were strict, and it was normal for these military princes to look down on a scout captain riding on their heads.

Seeing that the county magistrate promised to let him command the troops and horses, and even command all the people in Lian County, Huo An was not polite, stood with his sword, and said to the crowd in a deep voice: "There are still people who are not convinced. If you are not convinced, just stand up and wait. After I give the order, if you don't obey, don't blame me for the military law!"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, but no one stood up to oppose this little evil star.

Seeing that no one objected, Huo An said to everyone: "The first thing is to send troops to Guanzhong and Longxi to inform General Chang and Commander Zhuge. Who is willing to go?"

"I would like to go!"

"I would like to go too!"

Hearing the words, all the generals and schools rushed to be the first.However, there were also a few generals who did not fight for it, but looked at them with contemptuous eyes.

Who doesn't know that staying in Lian County is a dead end, and reporting to Longxi and Guanzhong not only saves one's life, but also prevents them from being held accountable because they are ordered to report.Such a good thing, naturally everyone is fighting for it.

Huo An pointed to the scrambling generals and said: "You, and you, you go to Guanzhong to inform Zhuge Dudu, you, you go to Longxi to inform Chang Dudu. It's not too late, bring dry food and set off quickly. "

"Okay!" The general who received the order was overjoyed, and hurriedly went down to prepare, and went to Longxi and Guanzhong respectively.

Seeing that Huo An sent more than half of the generals, the county magistrate couldn't help frowning, and said, "Huo An, do you know how to use troops? You have sent almost all the generals out, and now there are only a few people left. How can you command three soldiers well?" Thousands of soldiers and horses."

Huo An disdainfully said: "As soon as I said that I would send people to Longxi and Guanzhong to report the news, they all rushed over each other. This kind of thing can be done with a small mutiny, why do they still fight?

It is obvious that they are greedy for life and afraid of death, and dare not stay in Lian County. If this kind of person gives me [-] yuan, so what, no matter how many people are greedy for life and afraid of death, it will not help.The few remaining generals are real warriors who dare to stay and resist Meng.

Gu, there are such brave warriors to help me command my troops, why can't I command a mere [-] troops? "

The county magistrate listened to Huo An's previous words, no matter how reasonable he was, but when he heard Huo An say that there were only three thousand soldiers and horses, his beard trembled angrily.Xin Dao Huo An is really a child with a yellow mouth, but he has commanded more than a dozen scouts, and now he still looks down on three thousand soldiers.

Huo An said to Jia Fu who was behind him: "Brother Jia, I appoint you as my deputy to command these generals!"

"No!" Jia Fu cupped his hands.

The remaining generals were originally displeased, but when they thought that they were too scared to move because of Jia Fu's look, they had no complaints.

Huo An said to the county magistrate again: "Please trouble the county magistrate to help me summon the young and strong in the city to the school grounds. You guys will follow me to the school grounds and rectify the troops!"

The county magistrate wondered: "Shouldn't we fortify the walls and clear the fields now, and call the people from outside the city into the city first? Gather the young and strong inside the city, and we can wait for the people to enter the city. It's not too late to do it."

Huo An looked at the county magistrate with a sneer and said, "It's already afternoon, and the Mongolian soldiers and horses should not be attacking Lian County today, but tonight or tomorrow, the Mongolian soldiers and horses will definitely come to attack Lian County. Let me ask the people outside the city ten thousand Tens of thousands, can you summon them to the city in one night?

At that time, if they are discovered by Mongolian soldiers and horses, they must attack in advance, and then the people will suffer heavy casualties. "

A general said in a deep voice: "But if we don't fortify the walls and clear the fields before tomorrow, the common people will also be threatened by Mongolian soldiers and horses."

Huo An said in a deep voice: "That's why I summoned the soldiers and horses, and prepared to take the initiative to attack. First, severely injure the Mongolian soldiers and horses, so that they dare not attack easily. For the people to fortify the walls and clear the fields, escape into the city, and delay for a few days!"

"You want to take the initiative?" Everyone looked at Huo An in horror.

Huo An's face darkened, he pulled out his sword and looked at the crowd and shouted: "Just do it quickly, we have a word first, if you don't obey the order, follow the military law, you want to see if the sword in my hand is not good? "

Jia Fu also stood with his sword in his hand, looking at the crowd, his eyes were not angry but pretentious, as if anyone who objected would suddenly kill him.

Everyone was terrified, and quickly followed the instructions.

The county magistrate was full of remorse at the moment, but he had already ordered him to go out. If he went back on his word, Huo An would definitely kill him.

"I'm really in a cocoon. Why did I believe in this lunatic and let him command the army. Forget it, if you choose to stay behind, you will die. You will die on both sides. It is better to die vigorously and fight with the Mongols."
