Three days later, Wu Kai received new supplies, and his confidence in holding Zitong Pass became more and more sufficient.

It's just that since Beiyi's last siege failed, there has been no movement, and even the sound of the morning soldiers' drills has been gone.

Wu Kai naturally had some doubts in his heart, and sent several waves of spies in a row to find out the situation of the Beiyi camp, but none of them came back.

With his understanding of Ugul, it is impossible for her to suffer such a big loss without revenge, and she must have some plan in the making.

If you want to attack Great Xia, in addition to the Tomb You Pass and Shanhai Pass on the Northern Mongolian side, there is only the long Mizhou Road and Zitong Pass.

Even after several failures, Beiyi still did not give up.

Now, Beiyi's army has no movement, and he has to wonder if Beiyi has withdrawn?

But the withdrawal of troops was definitely not Ugul's style, Wu Kai looked at the continuous enemy camp and fell into deep contemplation.

There were Beiyi's secret spies in Zitong Pass, and he sent people to investigate but there was no result. The calmer he was, the more apprehensive he became.

The adjutant general walked up to the city wall and whispered in his ear: "General, Ningdu is here." ”

"How many men did you bring?" He subconsciously thought that reinforcements were coming.

"Yes...... Minglou, the five palaces have come down, and the people brought are all people from Minglou, less than 100 people. The lieutenant replied.

"......" Wu Kai was slightly disappointed, he asked Ning Du for help so many times, but Ning Du still did not send reinforcements, which made him start to have some dissatisfaction with Ming Heng.

"Let's go, go and meet the Fifth Highness." He sighed and walked down the tower.

Wu Kai welcomed Mingxiao into the gate and placed the person in a slightly more ornate room. After all, it is His Royal Highness, how can he live in a shabby life like these soldiers.

"The last general, Wu Kai, has seen His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince! Please forgive me for wearing armor and not being able to salute the whole body. Wu Kai knelt down on one knee and saluted towards Mingxiao.

"Get up." Mingxiao sat on the chair and said lightly. Even if this Wu Kai was the guard of Zitong Pass, he didn't look at it in his eyes, and he didn't give him the respect he deserved at all.

Wu Kai got up and asked, "Your Highness came to Zitong Pass today, I don't know what happened?" ”

"This prince has come on the orders of his father to investigate the reinforcements."

"Reinforcements? There are no reinforcements at Zitong Pass, is Your Highness mistaken about something? ”

"As early as after receiving General Wu's first letter asking for help, my father ordered 30,000 Baolong troops to go to support Zitong, until the person you sent to ask for help came to the palace and said that there were no reinforcements at Zitong Pass.

"My father only knew that the reinforcements had not arrived at Zitong Pass, so he sent Prince Ben to find out the situation."

"Your Highness Mingjian, since Beiyi invaded Zitong Pass, I have not had a single soldier of reinforcements in Zitong Pass." Wu Kai's tone was somewhat angry.

"General Wu, don't worry, this prince will definitely give General Wu a reasonable explanation for this matter this time!" Mingxiao patted his chest and said.

Zhong Wenyong was born in Shuangliu City, a small city under Tongshan Mountain.

His father was a butcher and his mother died young. He has been selling meat with his father since he was a child, and in his spare time, he likes to dance with guns and sticks.

Although my father is a butcher who sells meat, he is also an honest man with good rules, never short of pounds and pounds, and sometimes he will build more bones, and he can be regarded as a very good person.

The year before last, my father helped the rich people in the neighboring town to do things, and when he came back, it was already late at night, and he drank two taels of wine, and when he passed under the foot of Tongshan, he was suddenly stopped by the bandits on Tongshan and asked his father to hand over all the money on him.

It was supposed to hand over the money and it would have been fine.

But as a result, his father suddenly rebelled and was killed by the bandits.

In order to avenge his father, he took a spear and rushed up the mountain, killed all those bandits, and avenged his father!

His bravery was noticed by the guards at the city gate and led him into the barracks. Since then, he has begun to make a name for himself in the army, and has also made some military achievements, large and small.

Last year, he was officially named the Silu of the Shuangliu City Garrison Army to join the army, in charge of a battalion, with about 1,000 subordinates. He was in charge of the records of the affairs of the garrison and the sending of official documents to the imperial court.

He was an officer, so he didn't have to be stationed in the barracks, and he didn't have military affairs, so after his duty was over, he returned to a small mansion of his own in Shuangliu City.

Zhong Wenyong has no hobbies, and he has not yet married, so there is no one else in the family, and he usually eats at random, and he has never cooked at home.

When he returned home, he smelled the smell of wine from a distance, and this smell came from his house. Like his butcher father, he had a hobby of drinking a little wine. As soon as he smelled the aroma of this wine, it was a good wine, and he was happy in his heart at the moment, and the speed of going home was getting faster and faster.

He pushed open the door and saw three men in ordinary cloth clothes in the courtyard, one of whom had sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. The other two he knew, the general Qin Xi and his lieutenant who had been brought into the army earlier.

Zhong Wenyong saw a jar of unsealed wine on the table, and the aroma of wine wafted out along the mouth of the altar. This is the best yellow sorghum wine in Shuangliu City, and he doesn't have much money, so he can't afford to drink such wine.

Because of their admiration for him, the gatekeepers often came to his house, and the two of them often drank wine, but they never drank such good wine. The man who was waiting for him with such a good wine today should be the man in the light blue cloth.

"General Qin, why did you come to me today?" He asked.

"Come on, Brother Wen Yong, you're back. Hurry up, I've got you covered with the best sorghum wine. It's been a long time since we've had a drink together! ”

Qin Xi smiled heartily, got up and took Zhong Wenyong's hand, asked him to sit down, and then poured him a bowl of wine.

Zhong Wen picked up the wine bowl, first shook it at the nose, sniffed it deeply, and then said: "Yes, it's really a good yellow sorghum wine, but it's from the Western Wei Winery?" ”

After saying that, he took a sip, and his mouth made a babbling sound, and he was quite satisfied with the drink. He knew that Qin Xin had brought someone over. There should be something, so he put down the wine bowl, looked at the man in light blue cloth, and asked, "Who is this?"

"Wen Yong, let me introduce you. This one is my friend for many years, Xu Tianqiong. Brother Xu, this is the Shuangliu City Garrison Military Division, Zhong Wenyong, and Zhong Wenyong joined the army. Qin Xi smiled and made an introduction.

Zhong Wenyong bowed his head slightly and began to look at Xu Tianqiong, while Xu Tianqiong showed a polite smile.

"Wen Yong, this sorghum wine was specially bought by Brother Xu, and I don't have so much silver." Qin Xi added again.

Zhong Wenyong smiled slightly, expressed his gratitude, and then asked, "Brother Xu brought such a fine wine, I don't know what is important?"

Xu Tianqiong picked up his wine bowl and took a sip gently, saying in his heart that he secretly liked the yellow sorghum wine, and he would bring a few jars back when the matter was over. After putting down the wine bowl, he said: "Zhong Senjun, I heard that you once single-handedly killed Tongshan and killed all the bandits in Niujiaozhai?" ”

"Tongshan?" Zhong Wenyong was slightly stunned, this matter has been a long time, and he didn't expect it to be mentioned here.
