A gorgeous carriage was galloping towards Pingliang County, with more than a dozen Khitan and Huns cavalry chasing behind it.
This carriage was the convoy of Wei Zhongxian who came to convey the decree to Zhouyi.
But when Wei Zhongxian led his team to Pingjiang County, they found that Pingjiang County had been surrounded by 300,000 Khitan and Huns coalition forces.
Wei Zhongxian and others who wanted to enter the city to deliver the decree were soon discovered by Khitan scouts.
It turned out that after being unable to attack Pingliang County for a long time and losing nearly 100,000 troops, the Khitan and Xiongnu coalition decided to give up the hard nut and attack Pingjiang County next door.
When Khitan King Ashina Batu and Hun Prince Atam discovered Wei Zhongxian's luxurious carriage, they realized that Wei Zhongxian must be a big fish.
So a group of soldiers were immediately sent to arrest Wei Zhongxian and his party who were delivering the order.
Wei Zhongxian and his party panicked and fled towards Pingliang County.
Wei Zhongxian's team delivering the decree was originally guarded, but in order to hold back the pursuers at the rear, they sacrificed their lives one after another.
Now it seemed that he was the only one left with an empty carriage, and there were still more than a dozen Khitan and Huns cavalry chasing after him.
At this moment, Wei Zhongxian already hated Yan Song for being a dog thief. He had cursed Yan Song no less than a thousand times in his heart.
"If I can return to the capital safely this time, I will definitely be at odds with you Yan Song, the dog thief!" Wei Zhongxian cursed secretly.
At this time, the driver suddenly shouted from outside the carriage: "Mr. Wei, it's bad, there are more than fifty riders in front of us charging towards us!"
Wei Zhongxian stuck his head out and saw that there were indeed more than fifty riders heading towards him.
Wei Zhongxian suddenly felt cold and thought with despair, "My life is at stake!"
The more than fifty riders in front were as fast as the wind and arrived in an instant.
But to Wei Zhongxian's surprise, the fifty-odd riders passed his carriage and headed towards the dozen Huns and Khitan scouts behind them.
"Rescued? Were those soldiers from Chen State just now?" Wei Zhongxian was in a daze at the moment, hearing the sound of fighting behind the carriage.
Not long after, all the Xiongnu and Khitan scouts who were following Wei Zhongxian were killed by the fifty cavalrymen.
Immediately, several cavalrymen with specks of blood on their bodies turned around and asked: "Who is in the carriage?"
Wei Zhongxian quickly got out of the car and replied: "Heroes, I am the special envoy sent by the emperor. I was going to Pingjiang County to find the imperial edict of Zhou County Magistrate. But I didn't expect that Pingjiang County has been surrounded by the Xiongnu and Khitan. Some of my My guards all died trying to save me. Fortunately, we were saved by a few heroes, otherwise our family would have been killed by the Huns and Khitan dog thieves!"
"Who are these heroes? This life-saving kindness will be repaid by our family in the future."
The leading cavalryman held up the head of a Huns and replied: "We are Wang Erniu, the defender of Pingliang County. Lord Zhou is in Pingliang County now."
"We just repelled the attack of the Khitan and Xiongnu coalition forces a few days ago, and are currently on a reconnaissance mission. Since you are the special envoy sent by the emperor, I can send a few people to escort you to Pingliang County."
"Our family is grateful to several heroes!" Wei Zhongxian thanked him quickly.
Although he didn't know why Zhou Yi was in Pingliang County, Wei Zhongxian felt very relieved after hearing the news.
Because Zhou Yi once said that his destiny is like Peng Fei Jiutian, and everything will turn into good luck, and now it is indeed true.
After ten cavalrymen from Wang Erniu escorted Wei Zhongxian to Pingliang County, Wei Zhongxian found that the outside of the city was full of scorched earth. Many people in the city were wearing simple masks and were busy cleaning the battlefield and disposing of the corpses left by the Khitan Huns outside the city.
Looking at the mess outside the city, Wei Zhongxian knew that this place must have experienced a fierce battle, otherwise there would not be so many corpses left.
Pingliang County Government Office.
Lin Zhenyuan and Zhou Yi were staring at Pingjiang County on the map with stern expressions, constantly thinking about how to break the siege of Pingjiang County.
At this time Qian Yong walked in, and Zhou Yi asked hurriedly: "How was it? How many complete sets of Huns and Khitan costumes were produced?"
Qian Yong reported truthfully: "Sir, most of the Xiongnu and Khitan people were burned by fire after death, so we only dug out more than 3,000 complete Xiongnu and Khitan clothes."
Lin Zhenyuan asked: "Is Master Zhou trying to sneak into the Huns and Khitan armies by wearing their clothes?"
Zhou Yi nodded slightly, indicating that he did have this intention.
Lin Zhenyuan quickly retorted: "This is absolutely inappropriate! None of us can speak the Xiongnu or Khitan dialect, and we will be exposed as soon as we enter. Furthermore, the Xiongnu and Khitan all gather together in the form of tribes, and tribes and The tribes all know each other, and suddenly there is an additional tribe that no one knows, which will naturally arouse suspicion."
What Lin Zhenyuan said was indeed very reasonable. In addition, there were too few Xiongnu Khitan clothes found, so Zhou Yi had no choice but to give up this plan.
"grown ups……"
Qian Yong hesitated to speak, but Zhou Yi immediately realized that something must have happened.
"If Qian Yong has anything to do, just tell him, everyone here is one of our own!"
Qian Yong said quickly: "The capital has sent Wei Zhongxian to deliver the order, especially for you!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yi quickly asked Lin Zhenyuan to go to a side room to take refuge, and then asked Wei Zhongxian to come and announce the decree.
After Wei Zhongxian came in, Zhou Yi asked Wei Zhongxian to declare the decree directly because it was inconvenient for him to kneel down because he was wearing armor.
They are all old friends, not to mention that Zhou Yi's three ingots of gold saved his life. This time Zhou Yi's men saved him again from the Huns and Khitans. Wei Zhongxian did not pay too much attention to this red tape and humiliated him, so he declared Make a will.
When Lin Zhenyuan in the side room heard that the land of Yongzhou was to be ceded to the Khitan Xiongnu, he was so angry that his teeth itched.
When they heard the words "Measure the material resources of the Chen State and make the country happy", Lin Zhenyuan and his soldiers were all so angry that their lungs were about to explode.
If it weren't for the purpose of not causing trouble to Zhou Yi, Lin Zhengyuan's personal soldiers would probably have killed Wei Zhongxian who was announcing the decree.
"This is the envoy's staff. Please ask Mr. Zhou to accept the order!" Wei Zhongxian respectfully presented the imperial edict and talisman.
Lin Zhenyuan in the side room wanted to know how Zhou Yi would deal with this situation.
But I heard Zhou Yi sneer constantly in the main hall.
"Haha~"
"Hehehehe~"
Zhou Yi took the scepter from Wei Zhongxian's hand, his sneer still not stopping.
Wei Zhongxian couldn't help but feel happy after seeing Zhou Yi take over the envoy's scepter, because as long as Zhou Yi accepted the order, Wei Zhongxian's own mission would be completed, and he could escape from Yongzhou as soon as possible, a place of right and wrong.
But the next second, Zhou Yi directly threw the envoy's staff outside the house and said: "Certain land and pay compensation. Let Yan Song sign the treaty that is so humiliating and humiliating! I have to sign it myself! My vast land of Chen State, not even an inch of land." Don’t give it to anyone else.”
"I will be outside, and I will not accept your order! I am sorry that Zhou Yi cannot accept this imperial edict!"
