Wuwei Pass can no longer be defended!
This exciting idea suddenly flashed into Zhou Yi's mind.
Zhou Yi was still wondering where Yan Song got this sweaty horse. Now it seems that this sweaty horse was probably bribed by the Huns to bribe Yan Song, the old thief, in order to make Wuwei Pass fall.
Now the command of the entire Weiwei Guard falls in the hands of Zhang Biao, who is from Yan Song's lineage. It is not impossible if Yan Song really colluded with the Huns to make Zhang Biaowu lose Wuwei Pass on purpose.
However, if Zhang Biao really lost the Wuwei Pass, I'm afraid he himself would not be able to escape death.
Moreover, Zhang Biao was an official of Yan Song's lineage. If he lost the Wuwei Pass, Yan Song himself would also be implicated and punished.
"Yan Song can't be so stupid, thinking that after the Huns defeated Wuwei Pass, they won't fight again!" Zhou Yi was secretly worried!
In fact, Yan Song was not so naive, but Yan Song and the Huns had already formed a relationship of mutual trust and mutual help.
Thirteen years ago, Wuwei Pass fell and Weiwei suffered heavy losses. In addition to General Lin's misjudgment at the time, a large part of the reason should be due to the dog thief Yan Song.
Although the allied forces of the Xiongnu, Khitan, Qiang, and Di tribes captured Wuwei Pass, they also suffered heavy losses.
This is also the reason why the Huns did not continue to go south and threaten the hinterland of Chen State.
Later, old general Lin Weiwu led his troops to retreat to Pingyang City and faced off against the four ethnic coalition forces. They had no way to march all the way south.
This behavior of the Xiongnu made Yan Song mistakenly believe that they had abided by their agreement to only take Wuwei Pass.
Little did they know that now the Xiongnu had replaced a more radical Chanyu, and the old general Lin Weiwu who had been a leader in the Weiwei grassland for decades was no longer there. After they got the Wuwei Pass, how could Zhang Biao, who was just a straw bag, threaten to get these things? The Xiongnu and Xiongnu coalition forces were like wolves and tigers.
For this cooperation, Yan Song had already found a scapegoat, and that scapegoat was none other than Zhou Yi.
Yan Song and the others had already planned that this time Zhang Biao asked Zhou Yi's Pingjiang County to bear the food and grass supply for the 200,000-strong Weiwei army. Zhou Yi would definitely not be able to provide that much food and salary.
When Wuwei Pass falls, Yan Song and others can shift the responsibility to Zhou Yi. He was blamed for not delivering supplies of food and fodder to the mighty guard army on time, which resulted in the army starving to death, with low combat effectiveness and unable to defend the gate, and eventually fell.
Zhou Yi is a mere sixth-grade official with no background and no connections. Who will he take on if he doesn't take the blame for the loss of Wuwei Pass?
Even if Zhou Yi used the excuse that Pingjiang County was unable to supply an army of 200,000, he still could not get rid of the big blame prepared for him by the old thief Yan Song.
The fact is that as Yan Song thought, Zhou Yi would not provide so much military rations to the mighty guards under Zhang Biao's rule.
Because Zhou Yi had long realized that they were deliberately making things difficult for him. I just didn't expect that behind their deliberate attempts to make things difficult, there was such a sinister intention.
Zhou Yi suppressed the irritability and panic in his heart and said to Tuo Balie as usual: "Tuo Balie, if you really treat me as a friend, you'd better stay away from Pingjiang County and Pingliang County. This is my sincere apology. advice!"
Tuo Ba Lie looked at Zhou Yi with firm eyes, trying to read something from his eyes, but Tuo Ba Lie did not see any message at all.
"My friend, if this is what you want me to do, I will do it."
"I have conveyed the news. As for how to deal with it, it depends on your wisdom and courage!"
Tuo Ba Lie wrapped his headscarf and was about to leave. He turned back and hugged Zhou Yi, and said in his ear: "My friend, I sincerely hope that you can survive this war this time."
"Don't worry, my friend Tuobali! I will definitely survive!"
"And I have a question waiting for you to answer when you meet me next time!"
Tuo Ba Lie was very puzzled and asked: "What's the question? Maybe I can tell you the answer this time!"
Zhou Yi came close to Tuo Barie and whispered in Tuo Barie's ear. Tuo Barie was stunned on the spot.
Tuo Ba Lie looked at Zhou Yi with a dull and confused look on his face. Just when he was about to answer, Zhou Yi interrupted him: "You'd better think about it again and answer me next time we meet! "
"Come here, see the guests off!"
As soon as Zhou Yi finished speaking, two soldiers came forward and politely invited Tuo Balie out of the military camp.
After Tuo Ba Lie left, Zhou Yi immediately summoned the entire Pingjiang County's senior figures to hold an emergency meeting.
The first thing Zhou Yi did was to issue an order to strengthen the walls and clear the country. At the same time, he asked the armory to speed up the production of arrow weapons and collect rolling stones and wood.
Although Pingjiang County and Pingliang County have had weapons and equipment for three years now, Zhou Yi still feels that it is not enough, especially in the area of arrows. Zhou Yi feels that more is better.
After these orders were issued, everyone present realized that something was wrong.
Wang Defa, the head of the Wang family, asked nervously: "Sir, what happened? Why do you feel like you are facing a formidable enemy now?"
Zhou Yi did not hide it from everyone, and said bluntly: "It is not that we are facing a powerful enemy, but that the enemy is coming soon. I am afraid that Wuwei Pass cannot be defended. We must be prepared first, otherwise we will rush to deal with it when the time comes." You will only mess with yourself!"
"Qian Yong, you immediately return to Pingliang County and arrange it according to my instructions just now. Pingliang County is closer to Wuwei Pass than Pingjiang County. After I finish the arrangement of Pingjiang County's city defenses, I will go to Pingliang County to take charge."
The head of the Guo family asked with a look of astonishment: "Sir, how did you get the news that Wuwei Pass was about to be lost? Why don't we go and tell the Weiwei guards in Pingyang City and ask them to increase their troops at Wuwei Pass? !”
Zhou Yi smiled coquettishly and said, "There's no point in talking about it. I'm afraid this Wuwei Pass will definitely be broken!"
Everyone present was stunned, thinking about why Zhou Yi said this.
The clever Li Xiuliang finally became smart for once. He said in a strange way: "Sir, are you saying this because there is a Khitan mole in the Mighty Guard, and the mole's position is probably not low. Could it be Yan..."
Zhou Yi did not criticize, but nodded lightly to express his approval.
At this nod, everyone present began to yell and curse, and defended General Lin.
"Sir, you should not leave our Pingjiang County at this time. If you leave Pingjiang County, we will be leaderless!" Wang Defa said bitterly.
Zhou Yi said confidently: "Pingliang County is the frontline after Pingyang City, and I must command from the front."
"Everyone, please relax. Our Pingjiang County has a high wall and a thick city. The foreign coalition forces lack siege equipment and it is difficult to conquer! Moreover, I will leave a tips bag after I leave. In case of a real crisis, you can open this tip bag. Plan and act.”
