Chapter 564 Wuji Zhen Family

"Please, my lord, Xu Jia and his three thousand cavalry, go to Wuji and secure the support and military ration supply from the Zhen family for the general." Guo Jia said.

"Well, the imperial court cannot rule Hebei without the support of these nobles." Liu Ye nodded: "In that case, let Zhonghua lead three thousand cavalry to go to Wuji with you."

"promise."

Wuji County.

"Have you heard?" A young soldier poked the waist of an old soldier next to him and said mysteriously.

The old pawn opened his sleepy eyelids, yawned and said, "What did you hear?"

"It's about the time Duke Yuan let Liangzhou soldiers besiege Yecheng."

"Haha, I've known it for a long time. You're a little slow in getting the news." The old pawn said disdainfully.

"You knew this earlier and didn't tell me?" the young pawn opened his mouth and complained.

The old soldier said slowly: "What's the use of telling you? Can you help Mr. Yuan relieve the siege or can you help the general take Yecheng?"

"That's not possible." The soldier smiled coquettishly: "But it's still idle anyway, so we might as well talk."

The old soldier yawned, stood up straight, turned around and said, "Boy, don't think that fighting is a fun thing - people will die."

"I know." The pawn muttered and looked forward inadvertently, but suddenly he froze and opened his mouth wide.

"Old Uncle Zhang, Old Uncle Zhang!"

"What's the ghost's name?" the old pawn asked dissatisfiedly, but looked across the way and was stunned.

In the sight of the old and young soldiers, they saw thousands of horsemen galloping in the wilderness, with dust trailing behind the horses, like a long tail. Although thousands of soldiers and horses are not many, they are already considered a large army for Wuji County, which has never seen a large battle.

"Old Uncle Zhang, it seems that we are from Duke Yuan's army." The soldier tugged at the old soldier's clothes and said.

The reason why the pawn said this is because this infantry and cavalry is flying the Yuan-style military flag.

The old soldier frowned and said nothing. While they were talking, a full three thousand horsemen had galloped under the city wall of Wuji County and formed a large formation, with smoke and dust billowing behind them.

A horseman rushed out from the military formation and shouted to the city: "I am the captain of the army under Duke Yuan's account. I am stationed in Wuji County under the command of Duke Yuan. Please open the door quickly."

The soldier hurriedly shouted: "Please wait for a moment, I will go and inform the county magistrate right away."

"No need, open the city gate immediately. I'm tired of waiting outside, so I'll open the city gate quickly."

"This?" The young soldier looked embarrassed, while the old soldier held his shoulders and said, "Open the door."

"Uncle Zhang, is it okay to open the door without reporting anything?" the soldier said in shock.

"Hmph! If you don't open the city gate, they will attack the city. Didn't you see that they are all murderous?" the old soldier warned.

The pawn had no choice but to pull the heavy pendant. Hearing a creaking sound, the city gate finally opened slowly.

"Dai Ma" roared: "Enter the city! Take control of the city quickly, but don't disturb the people, you know?"

"Promise!" The sound of three thousand cavalrymen shook the sky. "Dai Ma" laughed loudly and rushed into Wuji County at the head of the horse. However, after these three thousand cavalry rushed into the city, they immediately galloped on the roads in the city, and then quickly controlled the four city gates, the county government office, and other important places in the city.

"Don't move around, drop your weapon and squat down!"

Dozens of Liangzhou soldiers rushed to the top of the city and shouted at the county soldiers on top of the city. Seeing how fierce the Liangzhou soldiers were, the few county soldiers were so frightened that they dropped their weapons and squatted on the ground.

"It's over, Uncle Zhang!" the soldier said angrily, "I wouldn't have let them into the city if I had known this."

"Hmph!" the old soldier said coldly: "Do you think I haven't noticed it like you? I have long seen that they are murderous and they don't look like our army. I have never heard of this substitute horse."

The soldier took a breath and said in surprise: "Old Uncle Zhang, why didn't you tell me?"

The old soldier snorted coldly: "You are stupid, aren't you? There are thousands of enemy troops, and the total number of soldiers in our Wuji County is less than 300. If these people are angered, they will attack the city directly. Can we still survive?"

Ancient sieges were very cruel, and the long-term sieges caused psychological depression among the soldiers. Many soldiers massacred the city directly after breaking through the city, often leaving only ten residents alive. For example, Guo Wei during the Five Dynasties was forced to rebel. He led his army back to the capital and promised his soldiers to loot for three days. As a result, the capital of the Later Han Dynasty was reduced to ruins.

"What are you talking about? Be honest!"

Pointing the cold spear point in front of his eyes, the old soldier closed his mouth and showed a flattering smile.

At this time, in the county government office.

"Haha, Magistrate Zhen, there is no need to be polite, please get up."

Guo Jia was smiling, and in front of him was a handsome but somewhat sickly young man, wearing official uniform and looking frightened.

"I'm Zhen Yu." The young official lowered his head and said, "I don't know which scholar under Mr. Yuan's account you are? Please ask for advice."

Just as Guo Jiaqian was about to speak, there was a rush of footsteps outside the county government office, and Ma Dai rushed directly into the county government office with a gust of wind.

"Mr. Fengxiao, our army has completely controlled Wuji County. Now not even a fly can fly out, let alone a human being." Ma Dai said boldly.

Zhen Yu's expression changed drastically when he heard this, and his eyes suddenly changed when he looked at Guo Jia: "Mr. Fengxiao? Could it be that Mr. Guo Fengxiao is the chief historian in the general shogunate?"

Guo Jia smiled and nodded: "Yes, now that the general has surrounded Yuan Shao in Yecheng, it should be normal for Guo to appear here, right?"

"Normal, normal, as it should be." Zhen Yu nodded in agreement, not daring to refute.

"The county magistrate's surname is Zhen? So Mr. Cai Lingzhen doesn't know his relationship with the county magistrate?" Guo Jia said with a smile.

Zhen Yu lowered his head and said, "It's my father."

"Oh, it turns out it was the head of the Zhen family who was disrespectful and disrespectful in person."

Zhen Yi is the father of Zhen Yu, Zhen Mi and others, but he died when Zhen Mi was three years old. As the eldest brother, Zhen Yu naturally became the head of the Zhen family.

"Since Magistrate Zhen is the head of the Zhen family, it seems that Guo does not need to go to the Zhen family specially."

Hearing this, Zhen Yu was a little surprised: "Mr. Fengxiao wants to visit the Zhen family?"

"Yes." Guo Jia smiled and said: "Yuan Shao separatist power and betrayed the court, but the Zhen family wants to marry their daughter to Yuan Shao's son. Of course Guo has to deal with it."

Zhen Yu's face turned pale and he stammered: "Mr. Fengxiao doesn't know this. My little sister is beautiful and her family has few assets. Mr. Yuan..."

"Huh?" Guo Jia frowned.

"Ah, someone is talking about Yuan Shao." Zhen Yu said cautiously: "Yuan Shao therefore forcibly hired my family to marry his second son to my little sister, which is not what I want."
