() Zhou Yi stood at the Yanmen Gate and looked at the densely packed Xianbei soldiers outside the pass. He had no fear in his heart. What could the 80,000 Xianbei soldiers do? How could they break through the pass that had blocked the foreigners for hundreds of years? How powerful were the Huns back then?
, Ye Yinhen was outside Yanmen Pass, but the defensive materials in the city were difficult to support, and there was a Xiongnu rebellion in Bingzhou. He had a vague premonition that Bingzhou's military strength could resist the Xianbei and the Xiongnu at the same time.
Although there is a feud with Xianbei, Zhou Yi has to admire the Xianbei soldiers' well-trained and well-organized camps. No matter which direction they attack, they will withstand the attacks of all Xianbei soldiers. They are worthy of being foreigners who have fought with the Han for so many years.
The commander-in-chief Murong Feng was not only famous in the grasslands, but also in the border areas.
Suddenly, a man appeared from the Xianbei cavalry, riding a tall horse, and majestically walked out of the camp. A stone's throw away from Yanmen Pass, he reined in his horse and shouted to the pass: "Guardian of the pass, listen, my commander is kind, if you surrender.
If so, the soldiers who enter the city will not invade the people in the city, otherwise, when the army breaks through Yanmen, Yanmen will surely become a river of blood."
Although the roar was a bit far away, many soldiers still heard the powerful roar. In less than half a day, the news spread throughout Yanmen Pass.
Yanmen Pass is a pass, but there are more than 30,000 people in the pass.
Zhou Yi snorted coldly, took the bow and arrow handed by the soldier, and took the arrow from the bow to flying out in the blink of an eye. The arrow was like a shooting star, shooting at the Xianbei cavalry showing off their power.
The Xianbei cavalry stood outside the range of their bows and arrows, and did not worry about the Han army on the city shooting arrows. By the time they heard the sound of arrows cutting through the air, it was already too late.
"Pfft!" The war horse was in pain, and the wild nature in the blood was aroused. It neighed, jumped up suddenly, and galloped away. The Xianbei cavalry was thrown off the war horse, and their bodies were covered with mud. How could they still have the majesty they had just now?
Linlin, panicked, hurriedly fled back to the formation.
The defenders at the gate applauded in unison, marveling at Zhou Yi's superb archery skills. Zhou Yi was also considered a celebrity in Bingzhou. He killed invading foreigners many times at Yanmen Pass, especially with his archery skills.
His arm strength was amazing, so the bows he used were all extra-large. He was even known as Xiao Li Guang in Bingzhou.
Murong Feng stared at his old rival Zhou Yi with bright eyes, and snorted coldly: "So what about Yanmen Pass? The powerful Han army was defeated by Xianbei!"
In the past, Li Guang guarded Yanmen Pass, and his reputation spread throughout the Huns, and he was named a flying general. However, Zhou Yi had the title of "little Li Guang" and his archery skills were amazing.
The Xianbei cavalrymen's faces changed drastically, and regardless of their embarrassing appearance, they fled towards the Xianbei military camp.
Zhou Yi raised his arms and shouted: "The Xianbei people kill our Han people, plunder Han villages, and kill innocent people indiscriminately. They are the enemies of the Han. We are the Han army. Even if we shed the last drop of blood, we must defend Yanmen Pass. The Han army is mighty."
!”
The soldiers at the gate raised their arms and shouted in unison: "The Han army is mighty, the Han army is mighty." The initial shouts, which were somewhat chaotic, gradually gathered together and resounded throughout the pass.
The defenders of Yanmen Pass felt that the fear caused by the mighty Xianbei soldiers outside the pass had disappeared due to the shouts just now, and their eyes revealed a strong fighting spirit. They were Han troops and the defenders of Yanmen Pass. They would die.
Nor can we allow the enemy to capture the land we protect beneath our feet.
"After the order is passed, all the young and strong people in the pass will be organized and responsible for carrying grain, grass, arrows, rolling stones, wood and other materials for the defenders. Those who are willing to resist Xianbei will be issued weapons by the army, and the common people who have made meritorious service after the war will judge their merits.
Reward." Zhou Yi ordered.
For many years, Zhou Yi has been guarding Yanmen Pass and has a high prestige in the pass. He is also outspoken and true to his word, so the people trust him. Some young men, encouraged by their families, joined the defense team and lived in the border counties for a long time.
Tough.
In the Xianbei army, Murong Feng heard the shouts coming from Yanmen Pass and said in surprise: "What happened in the pass?"
A Xianbei soldier stepped forward and told everything that happened outside Yanmen Pass.
Murong Feng thought for a long time and sighed: "Yanmen Pass, I'm afraid Xianbei will have to pay a heavy price again. Zhou Yi is an extraordinary person."
The soldiers listened quietly. For the commander in front of them, they only had endless admiration in their hearts. Even though the commander was captured by the Han people, his wise and tall image was not damaged.
Que Ju frowned and said: "The Han garrison in Guanzhong is only 3,000 strong. Our army has 80,000 people. We will definitely capture it in less than half a month. The princes of the Central Plains are fighting against each other and have too much time to worry about themselves. How can they consider Yanmen Pass?"
"
Murong Feng said: "Master Que Ju, don't underestimate the Han people. The Huns were so powerful back then. They were defeated by the Han people and almost annihilated. The terrain of Yanmen Pass is dangerous. As long as there are 5,000 defenders in the city, our army has 80,000 people.
It is also extremely difficult to attack. I hope we can defeat Yanmen Pass before the Han reinforcements arrive."
Que Ju laughed and said, "Brother Murong is absolutely right. As long as you give the order, my subordinates will never frown."
After another change, Xianbei was no longer as big as the previous four adults. During the time when Murong Feng was detained in Chang'an, the strength of Kuitou developed like bamboo shoots after a rain, which was comparable to that of Queju.
The leader is an out-and-out khan of Xianbei. With a few tricks, he can win over a large number of followers. At that time, Tan Shihuai's influence was much greater than that of Murong Feng.
Leader even vaguely hoped that Murong Feng would not be released after being caught by Jia Rong, so that he would have more time to develop his strength.
Going to war with the Han people was a last resort. When Murong Feng returned to Xianbei, he looked at the Xianbei homeland surrounded by bloody battles. He summoned the heads of various ministries and focused the attention of all Xianbei people on the Han people. Only in this way could all the various factions be eliminated temporarily.
Due to the continuous wars among the tribes, relying on their own influence and the benefits of attacking the Han people, most of the tribes agreed to Murong Feng's proposal.
Eighty thousand Xianbei troops were dispatched, with one million cattle and sheep, almost exhausting all the national power of Xianbei. They made a desperate move to capture Yanmen Pass, plunder Han people's supplies, and alleviate Xianbei's current situation.
For three days in a row, there was no movement from the Xianbei people, but the cavalry from various Xianbei tribes all walked in a circle outside the city in a show of force.
"General, general, the Xianbei people have begun to attack the city." A panting soldier came to Zhou Yi and bowed.
Zhou Yi's expression changed slightly, but he soon regained his expression, waving his hands and saying: "It's unbecoming to be panicked, and why do Xianbei people care about it? I have tens of thousands of elites in Bingzhou. Once reinforcements arrive, Xianbei will retreat." After saying this,
, Zhou Yi walked quickly towards the gate.
"No!" The soldier saw that Zhou Yi looked relaxed and not panicked at all, and his worries immediately dropped.
The Huns rebelled, which was nothing to worry about, but it happened to happen when the Xianbei invaded. Since then, Dingtai's reinforcements will definitely not be able to arrive, and perhaps the food and supplies will not be guaranteed. Dingyi is a tribesman of Dingtai, and if he obeys his words,
Ding Tai refused and could not hope to get reinforcements from Ding Yi.
Looking at the majestic Yanmen Pass, Zhou Yi secretly swore in his heart: "If the pass is broken, people will die!"
Ding Tai repeatedly asked Zhou Yi to take important positions in the Bingzhou Army, but Zhou Yi refused because the country was weakening. He wanted to do his best to guard this pass so that the Xianbei people could not wreak havoc on the Han people's land.
"How can I, a big man, regain his former strength, attack Xianbei from afar, and completely eliminate the disaster of Xianbei!" Zhou Yi thought to himself.
Suddenly Zhou Yi thought of Jia Rong, who was far away in Chang'an. The Xiliang army was able to repel the Xianbei army in Beidi County and capture Murong Feng with a brave general. Why not ask him for help? As long as the Xiliang army was willing to send troops,
The day to repel the Xianbei army is not far away.
The Xianbei army is not attacking the city, but the pressure brought by tens of thousands of Xianbei soldiers on the city's defenders is undoubtedly huge. It seems that Xianbei will attack the city tomorrow.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yi hurriedly ordered many soldiers to lead letters to Chang'an to deliver the message.
As both ministers of the Han Dynasty, Zhou Yi was sure that Jia Rong would not refuse.
The Xianbei invaded the country, the Xiongnu rebelled, and the Yellow Turban disaster occurred repeatedly in the Central Plains. However, there was no trace of panic on the faces of the people in the city. With the powerful Xiliang army guarding them, they felt relieved. Even the wealthy businessmen in Bingzhou began to go to Chang'an.
migrate.
"Following the filial piety, the Xianbei invaded the territory, and the Huns rebelled. What do you think of this matter?" Jia Rong asked after taking a sip of fragrant tea.
Guo Jia said solemnly, "The disasters caused by the Xiongnu, scabies, and Xianbei are really painful. Xianbei's 80,000 soldiers invaded the territory, and Yanmen Pass was in danger. At this time, the Xiongnu rebelled, and Bingzhou Mu Dingtai was a short-sighted person.
It was expected that all the power of the state would be gathered to suppress the Xiongnu, but in this way, the Xianbei people were given an advantage. After Yanmen Pass was captured, the entire Youzhou was opened to merge with the state, and the land of the two states would become the Xianbei horse farm."
Jia Rong was slightly moved. Guo Jia's talent was indeed well-deserved. Jia Xu, who rarely praised others, praised him a lot in front of him.
"Fengxiao, continue!"
Guo Jia looked back and saw a group of officials listening attentively, and continued: "At the same time, this is also a great opportunity."
Jia Rong asked cooperatively: "What opportunity?"
Guo Jia turned his attention to Jia Xu, and saw that he still had an indifferent look on his face. His eyes couldn't help showing disappointment. He was sure that Jia Xu must have thought of this, but the chief counselor of the Xiliang Army would not be there.
Talking nonsense in front of everyone feels like grandstanding. In the past few months of getting along with Jia Xu, Guo Jia has never been able to understand the thoughts of this person who always has a calm expression on his face.
Of course, Guo Jia is confident enough in his strategy, and Jia Rong is obviously the kind of person who can listen to words.
"Lord, our army can send troops to Bingzhou to help Bingzhou Mu Dingtai quell the Xiongnu disaster, and then work together to defeat the Xianbei army outside Yanmen Pass," Guo Jiadao.
Without waiting for Jia Rong's assessment, Zhang Zhao bowed and said: "This plan is absolutely impossible. Ding Tai is the nephew of Ding Yuan in the past and has great hatred for the Xiliang army. I am afraid that the enemy of the Xiliang army entering Bingzhou is not the Huns."
The people and the Xianbei people have merged with the state army."
Jia Rong nodded slightly and turned his attention to Guo Jia again.
