Wei Wuhou

Chapter 443 Entering Guihua City 3
(Thanks to the local tyrant "Bona Baichuan" for the various recommended packages, thank you!!!)
Zheng Dali followed behind Zhao Xi, and after a while, he came to the outside of a yamen in the center, on which was hung a plaque of "Naturalized Garrison General".

Since Zhao Xi personally led the way, Zheng Dali easily entered the general's mansion, and then led him to the lobby.

At this time, the lobby was still brightly lit, and a middle-aged man was holding the lamp, with his back to the outside of the lobby, looking at the map hanging on the wall.

This is Zhao Xi's father, the naturalized garrison general Zhao Yan.

"Why are you back? Didn't you just say you were going to inspect the city wall?" Even without turning around, Zhao Yan knew that it was his son who had returned.

Looking at his father's back, Zhao Xi put away the unruly look on his face, and became more honest.

"Those three guys were slack, but I don't know why my father can't dismiss them!" Zhao Xi said rather dissatisfied.

Only then did Zhao Yan turn around, and said to his son: "Don't mention it now, they are resentful, it's human nature!"

At this time, Zhao Yan also found Zheng Dali who was still standing behind him, and asked his son beside him, "Who is this person?"

Without waiting for Zhao Xi to explain, Zheng Dali first said: "Report to the general, I am sent by Mr. Wuji, and I am here to inform the general that Mr. Shi will lead the army into the city tonight!"

After a pause, Zheng Dali continued: "When the time comes, I ask the general to open the city gate and let you enter the city!"

Hearing that Wei Wuji had brought someone here, Zhao Yan couldn't help but feel a little astonished. Is this what a young master should do?Come to such a dangerous place beyond the Great Wall.

"Do you have proof?" Zhao Yan asked, he was naturally not someone who trusted others.

At this moment, Zheng Dali took out the silk book just now, and after passing it to Zhao Xi, Zhao Xi sent it to his father.

"This is the general's order. If you still don't believe our identities, I still have the son's seal here!" Zheng Dali immediately took out another object from his arms and said.

This is exactly the seal that Wei Wuji got after he was granted the title of Shangqing. It is very delicately carved, but it is very difficult to fake it.

Then he took the item from Zheng Dali's hand, and after repeated confirmation, Zhao Yan believed in Zheng Dali's identity.

So he asked: "You said that Mr. Wuji led the team, but he didn't know how many troops he brought, infantry or cavalry!"

Seeing Zhao Yan directly getting to the point, Zheng Dali said, "Young master has 4000 troops from the headquarters, plus another captain's department, there are more than [-] cavalry in total!"

Zheng Dali's words are actually worthwhile, because there will be a certain amount of wear and tear after the battle, and the total number of people on both sides is not seven thousand.

But this is irrelevant, and has little effect on combat effectiveness.

"Can you bring supplies?" Zhao Yan asked. This question is also very important. The food and grass in the city can last for [-] days at most.

And if Wei Wuji's people didn't bring food and grass, then after so many mouths, the food problem would become more obvious.

Zheng Dali then replied: "Our army has only carried dry food for seven days, which can only last until the day after tomorrow!"

In fact, Zhao Yan wanted to refuse Wei Wuji to bring people into the city at this time, because it would be a huge burden for them to come.

But he thought again, without those support, the 20 remnants in the city might not be able to last for [-] days.

Because the attack of the Huns was too fierce, they were completely reckless, trying to fill up the city of Guihua with their lives.

In just these few days, the Huns lost at least nearly ten thousand corpses under the city, and the Wei army also suffered huge casualties of more than 2000 people.

This is simply unimaginable. As the defender of the city, Wei Jun was clearly in a great advantage, but so many people died.

Of course, there is a reason for it. Because of the existence of spies, people lost most of their food and grass, and the army's morale was unstable before they were attacked...

In fact, Zhao Yan was already quite good at defending himself, and the Huns might have taken advantage of him by calling him someone else.

"Tonight, I will personally go to the gate of the city to welcome you!" Zhao Yan said in a deep voice.

This actually meant that it was settled, and Zheng Dali was overjoyed immediately, because it was related to the safety of Wei Wuji and his thousands of brothers.

"Okay, I'll go back and send a message to the young master, but I have to borrow a fast horse from the two of you... just now our horse lost it!" Zheng Dali clasped his hands.

Zhao Yan looked at his son, then nodded slightly, which was the agreed time for Zheng Dali to return.

It's just that this news must be kept top secret, especially the news of when Wei Wuji will bring people into the city, it must be blocked.

So the matter of taking Zheng Dali out of the city became handled by Zhao Xi himself.

Only Zhao Yan asked again: "Who else knows about this?"

Zheng Dali was about to speak when he heard Zhao Xi say: "Father, today the guard of the east gate, Captain Yuan Xin..."

Zhao Yan waved his hand to stop his son from continuing to speak, and then said: "You should handle this matter yourself, and send someone to watch it quietly!"

Zhao Xi nodded, Zheng Dali just watched the father and son discussing, but the content was that he didn't trust the officers under him.

Then, Zheng Dali followed Zhao Xi, went to the camp to get a horse, and then galloped away under the cover of night.

Now the distance between him and Wei Wuji is only about thirty miles, and if you ride fast, you can arrive there in half an hour, but you must ensure that the direction is not wrong.

…………

About two hours later, there was movement in the Xiongnu camp located to the west of Guihua City, which made the soldiers guarding Guihua City suddenly startled, because they were worried that the Huns would attack again.

Even Zhao Yan was terrified in his heart, wondering if this was a trick played by the Huns, trying to trick him into opening the door and the army would come directly to kill him.

Fortunately, after Zheng Dali left, there were still a few other soldiers here, explaining to Zhao Yan another arrangement of his son.

In this way, Zhao Yan knew that this was Wei Wuji's suspicious strategy to divert the attention of the Huns to that side.

And just after the movement from the Huns, a huge team was slowly approaching to the west of Guihua City.

It was also Zheng Dali, but this time there were Wei Wuji and a large number of his guards, and now the army was approaching Guihua City one step at a time.

Zhao Yan, who was personally sitting on the top of the city, watched this scene, and immediately said to the surrounding soldiers: "Be alert!"

Sure enough, more than a thousand bows were drawn immediately on the city wall, and they aimed at Wei Wuji and his party who were approaching quickly.

The reason why Wei Wuji came here in person was to dispel the doubts in Zhao Yan's heart, and let him open the door quickly and let the army in.

"Who is here?" Zhao Yan shouted from the top of the wall.

Suddenly, Wei Wuji's hearty laughter resounded from the city, and then Wei Wuji said: "Don't you remember my son's voice, General Zhao?"

He had met him several times in Lingbei Daying before, and of course Zhao Yan paid special attention to Wei Wuji's voice and appearance, but he was really relieved when he saw Wei Wuji for real.

"Hurry up and open the city gate!" Zhao Yan shouted to the soldiers waiting at the gate, and then there was a dull rumbling sound.

The city gate was opened, Wei Wuji and his guards were able to enter smoothly, and the army followed behind.

It can be said that Wei Wuji's luck was really good. He didn't encounter any major dangers along the way, and then he arrived in Guihua City safely.
