After returning to Pingjiang County, there was still a lot of mess waiting for Zhou Yi to deal with.
After the Xiongnu and Khitan forces broke through the east gate and entered the city, they destroyed many houses.
Later, Qian Xiaohao implemented the Fire Bull Formation according to Zhou Yi's ingenious plan, which also caused considerable damage to some buildings in Pingjiang County. The entire Pingjiang County was in a mess.
After returning to the county government, everyone in the city was happy, happy, and sad.
The only one who is sad is Wang Defa, the director of the state-owned breeding farm in Pingjiang County.
In the past three years, the farm had stocked more than 10,000 cattle by exchanging grain with the Khitan people. After this fire cattle battle, no more than 1,000 cattle could be recovered in the past few days.
The number of cattle in his breeding farm is really low!
After raising cattle for so long, Wang Defa really has feelings for this farm.
Zhou Yi also saw his sadness, patted his shoulders and consoled him: "Our Pingjiang County can be preserved, and the people are not tortured and killed by thieves, you and your breeding farm should be credited."
"As the saying goes, my talents are destined to be useful, and I will come back again after all the money I have spent. What about these ten thousand cows? Lao Wang, don't be sad, we can just raise them again if the cows are gone!"
After being recognized by Zhou Yi, Wang Defa immediately changed from a sad look to a look of joy.
Just when Zhou Yi was about to deal with some messy things in the city, Qian Xiaohao suddenly leaned into Zhou Yi's ear and whispered: "Sir, that man is here and he said he has something important to tell me!"
Zhou Yi couldn't help frowning and thought to himself: "Is there anything important for him to come to Pingjiang County at such a sensitive time?"
Because Lin Zhenyuan was present, Zhou Yi could only let everyone present wait for a while.
"General Lin, there is an urgent matter in the city that I need to deal with. Please wait for a moment." After that, he hurriedly left, leaving only everyone behind.
When Zhou Yi saw Tuo Balie, he was still wrapped tightly.
Because of the Xiongnu and Khitan joint attack on Chen, the two met in Zhou Yi's study, and the only people Zhou Yi brought were Wang Dachui and Qian Xiaohao.
"In such a sensitive period for Tuo Ba Lie, you actually dare to come to our Pingjiang County. Did something happen again?" Zhou Yi asked straight to the point.
"No, no, no, this time I have brought you good news!" Tuo Balie said slowly, taking off his turban.
"King Khitan is dead! He died under the fire ox of your Pingjiang County!"
After Tuo Ba Lie's reminder, Zhou Yi realized that he still didn't know who the coalition commander and opponent was.
"The people who led the attack on your Pingjiang and Pingliang counties this time were the Khitan King Ashina Batu and the Hun Prince Atamu. The Khitan King has already died under the fire ox, and I think the Hun Prince must have been too!"
Qian Xiaohao next to Zhou Yi shook his head and said: "Prince Atam of the Huns did not die, but was captured alive by us!"
Tuo Ba Lie was a little surprised, but then he was relieved.
"Tuobali, what you have brought is indeed good news. But I think you don't just want to convey such news!"
Tuo Ba Lie also nodded solemnly and directly stated his purpose.
"Didn't you ask me that question last time? Now I tell you clearly, my friend! When I saw the Khitan King being chased by the raging fire bull, I had the idea of replacing him!"
"I want to be a king, I want to be the king of the Khitans!"
At this moment, Zhou Yi's face bloomed with an extremely bright smile.
"Isn't it a good thing to have dreams? People who don't have dreams are just like Xianyu!"
Wang Dachui next to him glanced at Zhou Yi, pouted and cursed in his mind: "Brother Yi, is this guy trying to kill me? What's wrong with being a salted fish? If there weren't hook bars in Pingliang and Pingjiang counties, I would have I just listen to music every day!"
Tuo Ba Lie excitedly held Zhou Yi's hand and said: "I know that with the ability of our tribe, it is very difficult for me to become the king of the Khitans, so I want to use your power!"
"My friend, I hope you can help me!"
Tuo Ba Lie spoke sincerely, and his sincere eyes were full of yearning for the throne.
Zhou Yi patted Tuo Balie's hand and affirmed: "You just said that I am your friend. Since as a friend, if I don't help you, who will help you?"
"I heard that you captured more than 100,000 Huns and Khitans here. I think..."
Zhou Yi directly interrupted his request: "You don't have to think about it!"
"If I give the person to you, doesn't it mean that you have already colluded with the Chen people? They will most likely blame you for the defeat of this war!"
Tuo Ba Lie carefully studied Zhou Yi's analysis, and he also felt that Zhou Yi was very right.
Zhou Yi struck while the iron was hot and said: "Although I can't give you personnel, I can provide you with the food you need for development."
"This time the hundreds of thousands of Xiongnu and Khitan troops were defeated. Many tribes must have lost the power to protect their tribes. Now you can just annex these small tribes to strengthen your development!"
Zhou Yi's policy for Tuobalie was to first annex small tribes, then annex large tribes, and finally replace the royal court. This policy is like the strategy of a great man encircling the city from the countryside.
Originally, Tuo Ba Lie wanted to borrow grain from Zhouyi for tens of thousands of horses and horses. Directly change to Wang Ting's. Now it seems that we can only follow the planning form of Zhouyi, step by step, step by step.
"The future Khitan King, when you ascend to the throne, you will not forget your brothers in Pingjiang County, right?"
Tabalie was flattered by Zhou Yi's "Khitan King", as if he had now changed the royal court and ascended the throne.
"Hahahaha, when I become the king of Khitan in the future, you can have as many cattle and sheep as you want. And I will never lead a crowd to attack your Chen country!"
Zhou Yi reached out and made an oath to make an alliance with him, and Tuo Balie also believed that with the help of Zhou Yi, his tribe would grow rapidly.
After sending Tuo Balie away, Wang Dachui asked worriedly: "Brother Yi, aren't you afraid that after that kid becomes the Khitan King, he will come to attack us again and bite us back?"
Zhou Mi looked at the direction Tuo Balie left and said leisurely: "I saw the fierce ambition in Tuo Balie's eyes. His ability to stretch and bend completely fits Cao Cao's description of a hero."
"If he really becomes the king of Khitan, he will definitely be a serious problem for us in the future!"
Now Wang Dachui was not anxious but Qian Xiaohao was anxious, and said quickly: "Since you think Tabalie may be a serious problem in the future, why don't you go and kill him now?"
Zhou Yi shook his head and said, "What's the rush? I'm exchanging time for space!"
