443 Entering the Naturalization City 3
(Thanks to the local tycoon "Bona Baichuan" for various recommendation packages, thank you!!!)
Zheng Dali followed Zhao Xi and soon came to an outside of a yamen in the center with a plaque "Naturalized Governor" hanging on it.
Since Zhao Xi personally led the way, Zheng Dali easily entered the general's mansion and then led it to the lobby.
At this time, the lobby was still brightly lit. A middle-aged man was holding the light with his back facing out of the lobby, looking at the map hanging on the wall.
This is Zhao Xi's father, Zhao Yan, the naturalized general of the garrison.
"Why are you back? Didn't you just say you were going to patrol the city wall?" Even though Zhao Yan didn't turn around, he knew that it was his son who was back.
Looking at his father's back, Zhao Xi put away the unruly look on his face and became honest.
"Those three guys are already lazy, but I don't know why my father couldn't escape their position!" Zhao Xi said with some dissatisfaction.
Zhao Yan then turned around and said to his son: "Don't mention it again at this time. It is natural for them to have resentment!"
At this time, Zhao Yan discovered Zheng Dali, who was still standing behind him, and asked his son on the side: "What is this person?"
Before Zhao Xi could explain, Zheng Dali said first: "Report to the general that he was sent by Mr. Wuji. I will tell the general that Mr. Gong will lead his army into the city at midnight tonight!"
After a pause, Zheng Dali continued: "At that time, please open the city gate and let the young master enter the city!"
When Zhao Yan heard that it was Wei Wuji brought people, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised. Should this be what a young man should do? Coming to such a dangerous foreign country.
"Do you have a certificate?" Zhao Yan asked. Of course, he was not a person who trusted others easily.
At this moment, Zheng Dali took out the silk book just now, and after handing it to Zhao Xi on the side, Zhao Xi sent it to his father.
"This is the order of the general. If you still don't believe in our identity, I have the seal of the young master!" Zheng Dali immediately took out an object from his arms and said.
This is the seal obtained by Wei Wuji after he was granted the title of Shangqing. It is carved extremely exquisitely and it is difficult to impersonate it.
Then he took the thing from Zheng Dali. After repeated confirmation, Zhao Yan believed in Zheng Dali's identity.
So he asked, "You said Mr. Wuji led the team, but I don't know how many people, infantry or cavalry he brought!"
Seeing that Zhao Yan was directly on the topic, Zheng Dali said: "Young master brought 4,000 troops from the headquarters, plus another commander's headquarters, with more than 7,000 cavalrymen!"
Zheng Dali's words are actually very humid, because there is a certain amount of loss after the battle, and the people on both sides are not as good as seven thousand.
But this doesn't matter, and it has little impact on combat effectiveness.
"Can you bring supplies?" Zhao Yan asked. This question is also very critical. The food and grass in the city can support it for up to twenty days.
If the people Wei Wuji brought did not transport food and grass, the food problem would become even more obvious after so many mouths.
Zheng Dali replied: "Our army has only carried dry food for seven days, and can only support it until the day after tomorrow!"
In fact, Zhao Yan wanted to refuse to let Wei Wuji take people into the city at this time, because it would be a huge burden if they came.
But he thought again that without those support, he might not be able to hold on for twenty days with the 7,000 remaining troops in the city alone.
Because the attacks of the Huns were too fierce, they were completely desperate to stop them, and they tried to fill the city with their lives.
In just a few days, the Huns lost at least ten thousand bodies under the city, and the Wei army also suffered huge casualties of more than 2,000 people.
This is simply unimaginable. As the defending party of the city, the Wei army was clearly at a great advantage, but so many people died.
Of course, there is also a reason. It is precisely because of the existence of spies that people lose most of the food and grass, and the morale of the army is unstable and they are subject to fierce attacks...
In fact, Zhao Yan was already very powerful to defend himself. He might have really taken advantage of the Huns as others.
"At midnight tonight, I will personally go to the city gate to welcome the young master!" Zhao Yan said in a deep voice.
This actually means that the agreement is settled, and Zheng Dali is immediately happy because it is related to the safety of Wei Wuji and thousands of brothers.
"Okay, I will go back and pass the message to the young master, but I have to borrow a fast horse from you... Our horse just threw it away!" Zheng Dali bowed.
Zhao Yan looked at his son, then nodded slightly, which was the time to agree to Zheng Dali's return.
But this news must be kept secret, especially when Wei Wuji will bring people into the city, which must be blocked.
Therefore, Zhao Xi personally handled the matter of taking Zheng Dali out of the city.
Zhao Yan asked again: "Who else knows about this?"
Zheng Dali was about to speak, but Zhao Xi said, "Father, today the captain of the East Gate guarding the East Gate..."
Zhao Yan waved his hand to stop his son from continuing to speak, and then said, "You can do this in person and send someone to take care of it quietly!"
Zhao Xi nodded, and Zheng Dali just watched the father and son discuss, but the content was that he did not trust his officers.
Then, Zheng Dali followed Zhao Xi and took a horse in the camp, and then galloped away under the cover of the night.
Now the distance between him and Wei Wuji is only about thirty miles. If you are fast, you can arrive in half an hour, but you must ensure that the direction cannot be wrong.
…………
About two hours later, there was movement in the Xiongnu camp located west of Guihua City, which made the soldiers guarding Guihua City suddenly startled and were worried that the Huns would attack again.
Even Zhao Yan was shocked and wondered whether it was a trick made by the Huns, who wanted to deceive himself and the army came directly after opening the door.
Fortunately, after Zheng Dali left, several other soldiers were left here and explained to Zhao Yan another arrangement of his son.
In this way, Zhao Yan realized that this was Wei Wuji's suspicious military strategy and wanted to shift the attention of the Huns there.
Just after the movement of the Huns came, a huge team was slowly approaching to the west of Guihua City.
It was also Zheng Dali, but this time there was Wei Wuji and his large number of guards. At this time, the army quickly approached Guihua City in one step.
Zhao Yan, who was in charge of the city himself, saw this scene and immediately said to the soldiers around him: "Beware!"
Sure enough, more than a thousand bows were drawn on the city wall, and the one who was aiming at Wei Wuji and his party who were approaching quickly.
The reason why Wei Wuji came in person was to eliminate Zhao Yan's doubts and let him open the door and let the army in.
"Who is coming?" Zhao Yan shouted on the top of the city.
Wei Wuji's hearty laughter suddenly sounded under the city, and then Wei Wuji said, "Don't General Zhao remember this young master's voice?"
He had also seen it several times before in Lingbei Camp. Of course, Zhao Yan also paid special attention to Wei Wuji's voice and appearance, but after seeing Wei Wuji, he felt relieved.
"Open the city gate quickly!" Zhao Yan shouted to the soldiers waiting at the city gate, and then a dull sound rang out.
The city gate was opened, and Wei Wuji and his guards were able to enter smoothly, and a large army followed behind him.
Chapter completed!
