Chapter 411 Sneaking into Guzang
Xu Miao was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then hesitated and said, "It should be no problem, right?"
"It's better to be careful and ask clearly before you can get it."
Hao Zhao was still insisting on insisting, leaning out with a serious expression and shouting to the man who looked like a general under the city: "Dare you ask about the name of this general? Where did you come from?"
"I am Dong Bi, the partial general of Bingzhou. My Liang envoy was ordered by the emperor to send us to reinforce Liangzhou. Please open the city gate quickly and let us enter, otherwise when the Shu army attacks, everything will be over."
The speaker was Tao Gong, who pretended to be Dong Bi. He looked quite anxious. Anyone seemed to be afraid of the normal reaction of the Han army chasing him and eager to enter the city.
Although Tao Gong's performance was extremely realistic, Hao Zhao still did not fully believe it and continued: "It turned out to be General Dong, and Hao Zhao was polite. General Dong, it was not that we didn't believe in the general, but since the general was ordered to come from Bingzhou to rescue our Liangzhou, why did he only bring these troops? In addition, what certificates are there for the rescue?"
"Oh, it's a great reminder that we had five thousand elite cavalry, but when we passed by Anding, we were ambushed by the Shu army. After a fierce battle, we only ran out more than a thousand soldiers and horses. The Shu army kept chasing them, and when we arrived in Guzang, there were only a few hundred people left.
As for the certificate document not being held by Dong, he was just the deputy general of this army. The certificate document was held by the chief general Su Shangsu. Unfortunately, we were defeated by the Shu army and he was dispersed by the chaos. Now he didn't know where to escape." Dong Bi sighed and replied helplessly.
When Hao Zhao heard what he said was reasonable, he didn't know whether he should believe it for a while, so he looked at Xu Miao and asked, "Eunuch, what do you think?"
"It should be true. Su Shang has heard of him. He is the number one general under the command of the governor of Liang in Bingzhou. As for Bingzhou, there is indeed a side general named Dong. I think he is the one outside the city.
Moreover, the words these soldiers said were Bingzhou accents, and they were indeed cavalrymen from Bingzhou." Xu Miao said with caress.
Although he had never been an official in Bingzhou, he had heard of several famous figures in Bingzhou when he was in the Central Plains. He knew the name of Su Shang, the general of Bingzhou. Although he didn't know the full name of Dong Bi, he still had some impressions.
"General Hao, please open the city gate quickly, the Shu army is coming soon." Seeing that the people on the city were still muttering and not believing, Tao Gong quickly urged.
He winked at the dozens of surrendered soldiers beside him, signaling them to clamor to put pressure on the Wei army on the city.
"Open the city gate quickly, the Shu army is about to come."
"I have come from Bingzhou from all over the world to rescue Liangzhou. Is this how you Liangzhou people treat reinforcements?"
"Open the city gate quickly. If you don't open the city gate, we will evacuate it."
......
Hearing a burst of insults from below, the Wei soldiers on the city wall were all ashamed. Others came to support each other with life and death, but it was really unreasonable to stay in the house and not accept it.
Xu Miao and others were also quite embarrassed, but Hao Zhao still had doubts and did not dare to sit down and make a decision easily.
While hesitating, he heard a soldier at the city pointing back and shouting loudly: "General, the Shu army is here to kill him. Since these dogs in Liangzhou don't believe me, I might as well escape."
When Hao Zhao heard this, he looked away and saw two Shu troops coming from the north and south. He observed his speed and arrived in a moment.
"General Hao, the Shu army is coming soon. If you don't open the city gate, you have to retreat. The whole country also asks you to report to the envoy Xu and tell the envoy Xu that the rescue is not something I can't do my best. I don't believe in Dong. In the future, my envoy Liang will blame you and ask him to help explain." Tao Gong took the opportunity to put pressure on him again when he saw this.
"this....."
Hao Zhao was speechless for a moment and turned to look at Xu Miao beside him.
Xu Miao was also in a very difficult situation. He had entrusted all the defense to Hao Zhao before. At this moment, he had actually believed in the identity of reinforcements under the city. However, seeing that Hao Zhao still had concerns, he didn't have to say much.
"Look at General, look, the Shu cavalry who were chasing us all the way, came here." Suddenly, another soldier under the city shouted in fear.
Hao Zhao looked up and saw that there was indeed a Han cavalry of about a thousand people coming over, thinking that this was the Shu cavalry that chased his reinforcements along the way?
Tao Gong thought to himself that Liu Yin and the others were really powerful. The scene was really realistic and he had to work harder, so he shouted to the city: "Don't General Hao believe it yet? Since that's the case, Dong said goodbye." As he said that, he was about to call everyone to withdraw.
Seeing that the soldiers under the city really wanted to evacuate, Hao Zhao finally made a decision and shouted quickly: "General Dong, wait, I will order someone to open the city gate to pick up the brothers into the city."
When Tao Gong and the others successfully entered Guzang City, Wei Yan, Liu Yin and Wu Que, not far from the city, finally breathed a sigh of relief. In order to make the play more realistic, Tao Gong and others' true identities did not reveal to the fourth person, and they put in some effort to grasp the timing of the pursuit.
Now that the first step of the plan has finally been implemented smoothly, they only need to endure for a while to start the second step of the plan.
Of course, in order to make a good move, Wei Yan and the others ordered the soldiers to lay a few waves of arrows on the Wei army on the city wall, and then retreated after they looked angry and embarrassed.
Speaking of which, after Tao Gong and others were welcomed into the city, they were immediately taken to the military camp next to the governor's mansion to accommodate them. On the one hand, they were to welcome them nearby, and on the other hand, Hao Zhao still did not fully believe them and planned to further inquire and test them.
"General Dong, this is Xu Envoy from Liangzhou." In the lobby, Hao Zhao introduced to Tao Gong.
Tao Gong quickly bowed: "The last general Dong Bi met Xu Envoy."
"General Dong doesn't have to be too polite. The general will definitely work hard to fight along the way. I have ordered people to prepare a banquet and I will welcome you and others later." Xu Miao said with a smile.
Tao Gong said: "We originally had 5,000 people but only brought hundreds of people. It's so ashamed. How could the defeated generals lick their faces and accept the banquet of the kings of Liangzhou?"

Xu Miao waved his hand and comforted him: "You are the one who has come to Guzang after going through a lot of hardships. You are so brave and righteous. When this move is spread, everyone in Liangzhou will definitely admire and be moved by everyone."
"Yes, the journey from Bingzhou to Liangzhou is long, and during this period, there were thieves of Shu intercepting him. He would definitely be a life-threatening death along the way.
Although you have few soldiers, as long as you have a reinforcement coming from the east, it will be enough for us to know that the court has not given up on our Liangzhou. The soldiers, civilians and the people will be happy and their morale will be greatly boosted when they know it." Hao Zhao also comforted him.
Tao Gong tried hard to squeeze out a few tears and sighed: "Oh, it's a pity that General Su and the others were unable to arrive in Liangzhou with us. Now they are not sure where they are going, and their lives are uncertain. How should someone come back to Bingzhou in the future to explain to Liang Envoy Liang?"
Hao Zhao comforted a few more words and then asked, "By the way, General Dong, I wonder how you and others were ambushed by the Sichuan thieves?"
Tao Gong understood that Hao Zhao's words were another test. If he was not careful, he would reveal flaws and lead to the failure of the plan. Fortunately, before coming, he had thought that Xu Miao and others would probably carefully ask about the specific experience of only a few hundred people left in the 5,000 Wei cavalry, so he had already prepared the speech in his mind.
So he told the story according to the strategy of seven points, three points, and three points. Hao Zhao saw that what he said was reasonable and had a solid foundation, and could not help but let go of the last bit of worry and no longer doubted the identity of Tao Gong and others.
That night, Xu Miao and others welcomed Tao Gong and others.
