Chapter 110 Entering the City at Night

Dong Zunhui soon received news: Emperor Liu Zhiyuan ordered him to lead his troops to escort Chen Guan, enter Yedu and inquire about information and shock the enemy.

Dong Zunhui was very depressed. Isn’t this a tiger entering the plain? Isn’t this a dragon trapping the shallows! Yedu has 50,000 former Jin troops, 1,500 Liao soldiers and 2,000 Youzhou soldiers. Even if his subordinates can fight, can they still fight with one enemy?! If he really has such ability, why did he come to Yedu for doing? He would have been separating the side in Suizhou long ago!

However, no matter how depressed the emperor's imperial edict is not violated. Dong Zunhui quickly calculated the manpower in his hands, and there were a total of 50 people following him when he went north, including Liu Qingyi, Zhang Yi and Liu Daqing, and Ma Dehai, who had newly joined him.

Dong Zunhui thought to himself: Du Chongwei would not make things difficult for him as a deputy envoy, but he might not be polite to his subordinates. Moreover, according to Wang Min's instructions, the Liao soldiers and Youzhou soldiers in the city were very rebellious. In case of conflict, he must protect the safety of Chen Guan. But will he give up his development in the Guide army like this? Will all his skills in treating guests to dinner these days be wasted?

I have spent a lot of money in recent days and finally got familiar with the Guide Army. Don’t underestimate these hard work and really go to the battlefield. If you need everyone’s life to help you, it depends on whether your relationship with everyone is solid!

In the past, the protagonists in the movies said, "For the sake of the party and the country, I will be a good match for my brothers!" But if this person is hated by everyone, he will often be perfunctory: "Persist in the last five minutes"! Tell me, even if you can hold on for a year, everyone is too lazy to save you!

After thinking about it, Dong Zunhui decided to keep Zhang Yi and continue to maintain the relationship developed in the Guide army. Anyway, Zhang Yi was romantic but not vulgar, and it was also suitable to go shopping in the military city with the generals and drink flowers and wine to cultivate feelings. Besides, if there is an accident in the city, at least there is someone outside the city who can inform Suizhou.

On the first day of October, at night, the clouds blocked the moon very tightly. Although it was impossible to say that they could not see their five fingers, the conditions were indeed not good. Dong Zunhui and his party escorted Chen Guan, and Wang Min came to the city of Dongcheng and lit three fires as agreed.

Shortly after the bonfire was lit, there was a reaction on the top of the city. Someone waved a few times with a torch at the dark city tower, then hung a rope from the city, and a black shadow slid down the rope quickly and ran over.

Wang Min hurriedly walked forward with a small lantern and contacted him.

I heard the black shadow say, "Sir, it's me, Dangjin! I have been waiting for you on the city wall these days, and I don't dare to go down the city all night, for fear of missing your signal."

Wang Min shone it with a lantern and said happily: "It turns out it's a little Dangjin!" He waved his hand to the back, indicating that there was no problem with Dong Zunhui and others. Dong Zunhui then strode forward, and Wang Min whispered to him: "This is my master's close servant Dangjin. He has been selling himself with the Du family since he was a child. Because of his simplicity and prudence, he is extremely appreciated by the adults. He is also the only man who can enter the inner house, which shows his trust in him."

"It turns out that he is Lord Du's confidant, very good! I wonder how we can enter the city?" Dong Zunhui bowed at him and asked in a low voice.

Dang Jin quickly replied the gift and whispered: "A hanging basket has been prepared on the top of the city and ropes. Please ask all the adults to come with me."

Wang Min quickly shook her head, "Your Majesty sent two envoys, the chief and deputy envoys, together with their guards, more than fifty people. If you use a hanging basket, it will definitely alarm the soldiers guarding the city. If the news is leaked and the Khitans learn it, it will be a big problem." At this point, he turned to Dong Zunhui and whispered: "The envoy is too careful, he actually brings so many guards! In fact, my elders have countless trusted people under my command. As long as he gives orders, who dares to hurt the envoy's life?!"

Dong Zunhui smiled slightly. It was Liu Zhiyuan's order to bring so many soldiers, in order to let the defenders learn about Du Chongwei's intention to surrender, to disintegrate their morale, and to create opportunities for possible attacks in the future. Therefore, Dong Zunhui would not disband the team just because Wang Min complained a few times, but said with a smile: "You just said that if the Khitans learned that we entered the city, it would be a big problem. I am also trying to protect the safety of the Zheng Envoy! If the Khitans intend to murder my Zheng Envoy, my subordinates can also delay time and wait for Lord Du's rescue troops."

Wang Min looked at Chen Guan, who was hiding in the distance, and saw that he was still trembling, and couldn't help but sigh. Who would have thought that Chen Guan, who was very well-written in the article, was so scared that his legs were weak when he arrived at the city. He couldn't stand up. Everything had to be negotiated through this tough deputy envoy, which was really unlucky.

Wang Min took a step forward and asked Dangjin in a low voice: "Isn't Mr. Hongzhang in Dongcheng responsible for garrison? Take my seal and go to his account to ask if we can open the city gate and let us enter the city quickly."

Dang Jin shook his head repeatedly, "Sir, I'm not lazy, but the city gate hole has been filled with the second son's order, and it will not be cleaned out in the short term. Besides, you also know the second son's hobby. He is hugging the beauty and is happily hugging him. I dare not disturb his good things."

Wang Min sighed. The eldest son Du Hongqi was smart and capable, but unfortunately he was born to Du Chongwei's concubine and was sent to Yelu Mada as a hostage. The second son Du Hongzhang learned to eat, drink, betting, and gambling without a teacher. He was proficient in playing, playing, playing, singing, and playing, but he was just a bit of swords, guns, swords and halberds. However, because he was the biological son of the eldest princess of the Song Kingdom, he was still appreciated by Du Chongwei. As for the other sons, the third son Du Honglian was stationed at the west gate and the fourth son Du Hongcan was stationed at the north gate. The two were a little talented, but they were too arrogant and did not get the love of the generals at all.

Wang Min said to Dang Jin helplessly: "Then you go back immediately, organize the strong soldiers, and find another hanging basket. We transport the two hanging baskets at the same time, so as to save time in the city as much as possible."

At this time, Dong Zunhui also called Liu Daqing, whispered a few instructions to him, and asked him to follow the party and leave. If this was a trap for the enemy, Liu Daqing could also warn the city, so as not to be caught by everyone. Of course, if he was in a desperate situation, Liu Daqing could surrender immediately after warning. Anyway, Liu Daqing, a veteran, didn't care about surrender.

Soon, four torches were lit at the top of the city wall, and the two hanging baskets were gently put down. Dong Zunhui saw that Liu Daqing was standing alone in the open space and no one was coerced, so he ordered everyone to set off.

Wang Min was in front, and everyone followed him. Dong Zunhui whispered to Chen Guan, the minister who was supported, "Mr. Chen, you are about to enter the city. You'd better cheer up! Your Majesty also gave me the right to report directly when he sent us to set off. If you are so depressed, it will damage the majesty of my great man, I will write a letter to impeach you!"

Chen Guan nodded, although he was still trembling, but he finally stood up straight. But he collapsed to the ground, "I've got cramps, I've got cramps..."
