What? Zhou Yi is Li Feiyu?
Zhang Biao looked at the young man who slapped him in astonishment, and then glanced at Qian Yong, who called himself "Li Feiyu" when he gave away the sweaty BMW a few days ago.
"How could it be? How could Zhou Yi be Li Feiyu!"
Zhang Biao didn't believe this fact. He shouted at Qian Yong at the top of his lungs: "Sir Li, you personally wrote a letter acknowledging Yan Xiang as your adoptive father! You forgot those lentil-filled mooncakes you gave En Xiang. Yet?"
Qian Yong said heartbreakingly: "Everyone in Pingliang County knows that Li Feiyu has never been a person, but an official rank! With an official rank bestowed by Lord Zhou, as long as Lord Zhou wants, anyone can be Li Feiyu."
"Okay, okay, how dare you deceive the grace minister and the emperor like this. When I return to the capital, I will expose all this matter to you."
"The crime of deceiving the emperor is unpardonable. None of you can escape." Zhang Biao said angrily. He glanced at the people on the city wall, as if trying to remember everyone's faces.
Upon hearing Zhang Biao's unconvincing threat, everyone on the city wall burst into laughter.
Qian Yong said with a sly smile: "It sounds like you can escape now!"
After speaking, Qian Yong commanded his men to grab Zhang Biao and prepare to throw him and his men directly off the city wall to death on the spot.
Seeing that he was about to die, Zhang Biao lost his composure and knelt down to beg for mercy!
At this time, Zhou Yi also turned around and smiled evilly, saying: "What are you doing? How can you treat General Zhang like this!"
Hearing this, the soldiers from Pingliang County also pulled Zhang Biao and his accomplices back from the edge of the city wall.
Zhang Biao, who thought he had been forgiven, quickly thanked you gratefully: "I will never say a word to Prime Minister Yan about your matter. If you violate it, I will be struck by lightning!"
Zhou Yi doesn't believe in any oaths, let alone the people who swear them. He feels that only the mouth of the dead is the most reliable and trustworthy.
The next second, Zhou Yi's words made Zhang Biao feel extremely panicked.
"Lock them up first. Later, when the Huns are defeated, put them in the clothes of the Huns and throw them off the city wall. By then, they can be counted as dozens of heads. Military merit!"
Put the enemy's clothes on them and then kill them. Zhou Yi's cool move was something that no one present expected.
Zhang Biao kept wailing and cursing: "Li Feiyu...Zhou Yi, you bastard, you have to die a good death, even if I am a ghost, I will not let you go!"
Zhou Yi has always been more generous to the dead, and he will scold him as much as he wants. Anyway, Zhang Biao and his group won't live long.
"Come here, please take care of General Lin and his party first."
It was said that he was about to catch up with the wind and wash away the dust, but now he was seeing the army approaching. Even if Lin Zhenyuan was a rare military talent, it was naturally impossible for Zhou Yi to accompany him to eat and drink at this time.
Zhou Yi just prepared some white porridge for them, and Tudou Lin Zhenyuan and the others were already satisfied.
Lin Zhenyuan and more than a dozen of his soldiers fled all night and were exhausted. Several of them were so tired that they almost fell asleep while drinking porridge.
Looking at the appearance of those people, Zhou Yi was afraid that they would drown in the rice porridge.
Seeing the embarrassment of his men, Lin Zhenyuan stood up and saluted: "Master Zhou, thank you for your help this time! I really didn't expect that the legendary Li Feiyu was actually you."
Zhou Yi did not talk to Lin Zhenyuan about what was available and what was not available. What Zhou Yi was most concerned about now was how many thousands of people the Khitan and Xiongnu coalition forces had in total.
"General Lin, Wuwei Pass is truly a dangerous place in the world. How could it be conquered so easily this time? Could it be that the enemy used the human sea tactic to take the pass with their lives?"
Lin Zhenyuan shook his head and told Zhouyi one by one about the Khitan people taking advantage of the night to pretend to be Weiwei guards transporting grain and the Huns outside the pass to seize Wuwei Pass and the fall of Pingyang City.
When Zhou Yi heard that the Xiongnu and Khitan coalition forces had a total of 300,000 people, Zhou Yi could not help but frown.
Although the two cities in Pingjiang County and Pingliang County have developed rapidly in recent years, their populations have exceeded 200,000, and each city has recruited as many as 20,000 soldiers.
But there were a full 300,000 troops on the opposite side, and the Khitan and the Huns were very well prepared this time. They also built siege machinery such as watchtowers, rams, and ladders.
"The Art of War" by Sun Tzu says: The method of using troops is to surround it with ten, attack it with five, fight it if it is doubled, fight it if the enemy is small, run away from it if it is small, and avoid it if it is weak. Therefore, the small enemy is strong and the big enemy can be captured.
Now the enemy has more than 300,000 enemy troops, and our own side only has 20,000 troops. According to "Sun Tzu's Art of War", it is best not to hold on to this situation.
Just when Zhou Yi was determined to retreat and plan to unite the troops in Pingliang County and Pingjiang County, Lin Zhenyuan told Zhou Yi another piece of good news.
"Lord Zhou, before my guards and I escaped from Pingyang City, we burned all the food and grass in the city."
"Without the supplies from Pingyang City, the Xiongnu and Khitan coalition forces will have to travel day and night to Pingliang County and Pingjiang County. Mr. Zhou, you must make preparations as soon as possible!"
Pingyang City's military rations were burned, which was indeed good news for Zhou Yi.
This news also dispelled Zhou Yi's idea of abandoning Pingliang County and joining forces to retreat to Pingjiang County.
Zhou Yi walked to the sand table and carefully analyzed the situation in front of him.
Zhouyi discovered that although the Khitan and Huns armies could directly cross Pingliang County and Pingjiang County and go south into the hinterland of the Central Plains, they could not do so.
If they directly abandon Pingjiang County and Pingliang County, the two wealthiest counties in Yongzhou, and attack other counties, not only will they not be able to obtain sufficient supplies, but the Book of Changes will be like two nails on their bodies.
Moreover, if reinforcements from the Chen court come up from the south to fight against the Xiongnu Khitan, the Khitan and Xiongnu coalition forces will be easily attacked from both sides.
Therefore, the two counties of Pingjiang County and Pingliang County in Zhouyi must be conquered by the Xiongnu and Khitan coalition forces.
After figuring this out, Zhou Yi also firmed up his idea - fight, fight like hell with him.
The three armies went ahead without using food and grass. Even if the Khitan and Xiongnu coalition forces captured Pingyang City, they did not receive food and grass supplies.
The Xiongnu and Khitan were originally nomadic peoples, and it was impossible to cultivate land and store food in normal times. It was a problem for the 300,000-strong army to feed their horses and men.
There has been a severe drought in Yongzhou for three years. The 300,000 Khitan and Huns coalition forces have been attacking Pingyang City for three days. Without the supplies from the granary of General Wuweiwei, how long will it be able to use even if it breaks the city and robs the people of food?
The Khitan and Xiongnu armies were far away from each other. Zhou Yi only had to fight a war of attrition with them according to Mao Zedong's theory of "On Protracted War". As time went by, they would naturally be defeated.
