Lin Zhenyuan was very worried about Zhou Yi leading five thousand troops to attack Wuweiguan, but Zhou Yi himself was not worried at all.
More than 3,000 of the 5,000 men selected by Zhou Yi this time could speak Khitan. Even Zhou Yi himself mastered Khitan proficiently during his three years in Pingjiang County.
Previously, Wuwei Pass was taken away by the Khitan people who put on the clothes of mighty guards and pretended to be grain transport soldiers, so now Zhouyi plans to give them a way to repay them.
The Huns and Khitan clothes that Qian Yong had collected before were now in use. Zhou Yi directly asked Deng Tong to lead 3,000 people to put on these clothes.
I don’t know if it was because of the three-year drought that these Huns and Khitans never bathed. Their clothes had a weird and unpleasant smell. Zhou Yi almost vomited them out when he changed his clothes.
"Sir, why don't you go to Wuwei Pass with us? You can lead the other two thousand soldiers and horses in the rear!"
Zhou Yi shook his head and said: "I have decided that there is no need to persuade me any more!"
"Without me leading them, if they get nervous and reveal their secrets, then everything will be lost!"
Deng Tong did not refute Zhou Yi again, but secretly told other soldiers to protect the elder.
In order to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy, Zhou Yi also asked the soldiers to tie a red scarf around their necks.
In order to appear more realistic, the three thousand soldiers and horses led by Zhou Yi at the front even drove thousands of cattle and sheep from Pingliang County to Wuwei Pass.
Sure enough, just as Zhou Yi expected, the defenders at Wuwei Pass thought that the front line was a victory when they saw the army driving cattle and sheep.
A Khitan general who was guarding Wuwei Pass asked loudly at the pass: "I am Murong Geran of the Yaonian clan. Which tribe are you from?"
Without thinking, Zhou Yi said nonsense: "We are Tuoba Xiong from Tuoba Lie's tribe, and we have been ordered to bring three thousand cattle and sheep to reward the brothers who have been shut down!"
Fortunately, the Yaonian clan had little contact with the Tuobali tribe. When Murong Geran saw that Zhou Yi could speak Khitan again, he ordered the door to be opened and Zhou Yi and others came in without thinking.
Not only that, so Wuwei Pass also sent many defenders to help Zhou Yi and others drive cattle and sheep to the pass.
After Zhou Yi entered the pass, he immediately gave his subordinates a wink and asked him to feel how many people were there.
"Brother Tuoba, why do you look so much like Chen Guoren?" Murong Geran said after seeing Zhou Yi's face clearly.
Zhou Yi thought his appearance was exposed, and his heart was beating wildly.
Before Zhou Yi could explain, Murong Geran laughed loudly and said: "You must have the blood of Chen Guoren in you!"
"Although you are not a pure Khitan, don't feel bad about it. At least you are not one of those cowardly and useless Chen people who only hide behind the city wall."
The reason why Murong Geran said this is because whether it was the Khitan or the Xiongnu, they had previously plundered a large number of people from the Chen Kingdom and headed to the Khitan (Xiongnu) territory.
Many people seized the women of the Chen State and asked them to give birth to their children. Murong Geran also had one-eighth of the Chinese blood of the Chen State.
As for why Murong Geran did not think about Zhou Yi going to the Chen people, it was entirely because the Xiongnu and Khitan coalition forces used the largest number of troops in the past ten years.
Who can defeat the 400,000 coalition troops?
As everyone knows, it was precisely for this reason that the Wuwei Pass guarded by Murong Geran finally fell into the hands of Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi beat his chest and stamped his feet, pretending to hate it and said: "What a shame, the blood in my body is not the complete blood of the Khitan Saints. I feel like I am incomplete!"
Murong Geran comforted him: "Brother Tuoba, don't be discouraged. I think you will be an extraordinary person in the future with your impressive appearance and talents. There is no need to feel discouraged just because you have the blood of Chen Guoren!"
Zhou Yi shunned the donkey and said, "Thank you Brother Murong for your comfort!"
"By the way, everything is going well on the front line. Our coalition not only conquered Pingyang City, but also Pingliang County and Pingjiang County. The two consecutive victories allowed our coalition to gain a lot of loot, so I was sent to reward our Wuwei with 3,000 cattle and sheep. Brothers who are locked up, I don’t know if these cattle and sheep are enough to eat!”
Murong Geran laughed and said: "That's enough, that's enough. We have locked up a total of ten thousand people. The three thousand cattle and sheep you brought are just enough for us people to have a full meal and use it as a celebration banquet!"
"Alas! Brother Murong, you have worked hard guarding Wuwei Pass. How about my brothers help you guard it for one night today!"
Murong Geran felt that the Tuoba Xiong in front of him was an honest man, so he agreed to Zhou Yi without thinking.
Lin Zhenyuan was originally worried that Zhou Yi would risk his own arrows to attack key problems like his old father, but he didn't want Zhou Yi to become brothers here and deceive him into a job as a gatekeeper.
"Okay, then I will work hard tonight, brother Tuoba, on you and your tribe!" Murong Geran readily agreed.
"It doesn't matter, we all have the same bloodline of the Khitan Saint Clan!"
That night, Wuwei locked up a group of Xiongnu and Khitan people, cooking cattle and slaughtering sheep, drinking and having fun, which was very lively.
Zhou Yi also arranged for a team of men to take over the gate, but in fact they secretly opened the door and let in the two thousand soldiers behind them. Zhou Yi himself constantly shuttled among the Xiongnu and Khitan coalition forces, pouring wine for them.
Murong Geran, who was in a daze after drinking, burped and inadvertently looked up to see a group of fully armed Chen soldiers, aiming at them with crossbows.
Murong Geran burst out laughing: "Brother Tuoba, I seem to be drunk!"
"I...how did I see a group of Chen soldiers!"
Murong Geran wanted to turn around and joke with Zhou Yi, but he couldn't find the "Brother Tuoba" who was beside him just now.
After the soldiers with crossbows in front shot a round of arrows, they immediately dropped the Qin crossbows in their hands, picked up their spears and knives, and attacked the Khitan people who were still drinking and eating meat.
Murong Geran also had amazing luck. Not one of the arrows from the more than two thousand people hit him. But the few short-lived ghosts around him were not so lucky.
A sharp arrow shot through the throat of a tribesman on the right side of Murong Geran, a sharp arrow hit the heart of a tribesman who was about to toast Murong Geran, and another sharp arrow shot past Murong Geran's face. Pass...
When streams of red blood spurted out from Murong Geran's clansmen, Murong Geran confirmed that he was not drunk at all.
The so-called fantasy is clearly real. Did Chen Guoren invade?
"Didn't Chen Guo be defeated by us? But why is there an army of Chen Guo here?"
Although he was confused about where this Chen army came from, Murong Geran immediately shouted: "The enemy is attacking, the enemy is attacking!"
The Huns and Khitans, who were originally drunk, suddenly woke up after confirming the enemy attack.
Seeing that there were not many Chen soldiers in front, they all immediately drew their weapons and prepared to fight back. Unfortunately, they drank too much and their hands and feet could no longer keep up with their brains.
What's even worse is that in the next second, sharp blades stabbed into his chest from behind.
When these Xiongnu (Khitan) people who were stabbed in the back turned around before they died, they could not see clearly the appearance of their enemies, but they could see the bright red scarves on their chests.
For a time, Wuwei Gate was filled with shouts of killing and the sound of weapons clashing.
