Chapter Fourty Five: Yanmen Pass

Zhou Yi stood at Yanmen Pass, looking at the dense Xianbei soldiers outside the pass, without any fear. What can 80,000 Xianbei soldiers? How could they break through the majestic pass that had blocked the alien race for hundreds of years? The Huns were so majestic that they were not strong back then. They were just the city guarding supplies in the city, and they were afraid that they would be difficult to support. The Xiongnu rebellion occurred in Bingzhou. He had a vague premonition. Can the troops in Bingzhou resist the Xianbei and the Huns at the same time?

Although he is a feud with the Xianbei, Zhou Yi has to admire the good training of the Xianbei soldiers and the rules to set up camps. No matter which direction they attack, they will withstand the attacks of all Xianbei soldiers. He is worthy of being an alien who has fought with the Han Dynasty for so many years. His commander Murong Feng is not only famous in the grassland, but also well-known in the border area.

Suddenly, a man flashed out of the Xianbei cavalry, rode a tall horse, and walked out of the camp majestic, and grabbed the horses from Yanmen Pass, shouting to Guanshang: "Listen to the guards at Guanshang, my general is kind. If he surrenders, the soldiers entering the city will not invade the people in the city. Otherwise, when the army breaks through Yanmen, the blood of Yanmen will flow into a river."

The roar was full of energy. Although the distance was a bit far, many soldiers still heard it. In less than half a day, the news spread throughout Yanmen Pass.

Yanmen Pass is a checkpoint, but there are more than 30,000 people in the pass.

Zhou Yi snorted coldly, took the bow and arrow handed over by the soldiers, and went from raising the arrow to flying out. It was just a blink of an eye. The arrows were like meteors, shooting towards the Xianbei cavalry that was showing off their power.

The Xianbei cavalry stood outside the range of the bow and arrow, and they were not worried that the Han army on the city would shoot arrows. When they heard the sound of arrows shaking through the air, it was already a little late.

"Puchi!" The war horse was in pain, and the wildness in the blood was aroused. With a neighing, he suddenly jumped up and ran away. The Xianbei cavalry was thrown off the war horse, covered with mud, and there was no such majesty as before. He was panicked and hurried back to his formation.

The defenders at the pass applauded in unison and were amazed by Zhou Yi's superb archery skills. Zhou Yi was also a celebrity in Bingzhou. He repeatedly killed off the offensive aliens at Yanmen Pass, especially the archery skills, which were archery with a hundred steps through the Yangyang and had amazing arm strength, so the bows used were all very large, and they were even named Xiao Li Guang in Bingzhou.

Murong Feng stared at his old opponent Zhou Yi with bright eyes and snorted coldly: "So what about Yanmen Pass? The powerful Han army was still defeated by the Xianbei!"

In the past, Li Guang guarded Yanmen Pass and his reputation spread throughout the Xiongnu. He was named the Flying General. Zhou Yi had the name of Little Li Guang, and his archery skills were magical.

The Xianbei cavalry's face changed drastically, and they fled to the Xianbei military camp regardless of their embarrassment.

Zhou Yi raised his arms and cried out: "The Xianbei people killed our Han people, plundered Han villages, and killed innocent people indiscriminately. They are the enemies of the Han Han army. We are the Han army. Even if we shed the last drop of blood, we must guard Yanmen Pass. The Han army is mighty!"

The soldiers on the pass raised their arms and shouted: "The Han army is mighty, the Han army is mighty." At the beginning, there was a little messy cry, gradually gathering together and resounding inside and outside the pass.

The defenders at the pass felt that the fear brought by the mighty Xianbei soldiers outside the pass had disappeared, and their eyes were filled with strong fighting spirit. They were Han troops and Yanmen Pass. Even if they died, they could not let the enemy capture the land they protected under their feet.

"If the order is passed, all the young and strong people in the pass will be organized to transport food, grass, arrows, rolling stones, wood and other supplies to the defenders. Those who are determined to resist the Xianbei will distribute weapons. The people who have made contributions after the war will reward them according to their merits." Zhou Yi ordered.

For many years, Zhou Yi has been guarding Yanmen Pass. He has a high prestige in the pass. Moreover, he is generous and does what he says. The people trust him quite well. Some young and strong people joined the city guard team under the inspiration of their family. They have lived in border counties for a long time and have a strong custom.

In the Xianbei army, Murong Feng heard the sounds from Yanmen Pass and said in surprise, "What happened in the pass?"

A Xianbei soldier stepped forward and told all the things that happened outside Yanmen Pass.

Murong Feng pondered for a long time and sighed: "Yanmen Pass, I'm afraid the Xianbei will have to pay a lot of money again. Zhou Yi is not an ordinary person."

The soldiers listened quietly, and they had endless admiration for the general in front of them. Even if the general was captured by the Han people, his wise and tall image was not damaged.

Que Ju frowned and said, "The Han defenders in Guanzhong are only three thousand. Our army has 80,000 people. In less than half a month, we will definitely be able to capture them. The princes of the Central Plains fight each other and have no time to take care of themselves. How could they consider the matter of Yanmen Pass?"

Murong Feng said: "Mr. Queju, don't underestimate the Han people. How powerful the Huns were at the beginning? They were defeated by the Han people and almost destroyed the tribe. The terrain of Yanmen Pass is dangerous. As long as there are five thousand defenders in the city, even if our army has 80,000, it will be extremely difficult to attack. I hope we can defeat Yanmen Pass before the reinforcements of the Han people arrive."

Que Ju laughed and said, "Brother Murong said very well. As long as you give me the order, my sons under my command will never frown."

After another change, the Xianbei was no longer the four adults who had been bigger. Kuitou's strength developed at a speed like mushrooms after a rain when Murong Feng was detained in Chang'an, and it was comparable to Quju. Kuitou was the unyielding Khan of the Xianbei. With a little use of methods, he could win over a large number of followers. Tan Shihuai's influence was much greater than Murong Feng's.

Kuitou even vaguely hopes that Murong Feng will not be released after being caught by Jia Rong, so that he will have more time to develop his strength.

When Murong Feng returned to the Xianbei people, he looked at the Xianbei hometown, which was fighting bloodyly, summoned the heads of various tribes to focus the attention of all Xianbei people on the Han Dynasty. Only in this way can the continuous wars of each tribe were temporarily eliminated. With its own influence and the benefits of attacking the Han people, most tribes agreed to Murong Feng's proposal.

The 80,000 Xianbei army was dispatched, and millions of cattle and sheep almost exhausted all the national strength of the Xianbei. He made a desperate bet and must seize Yanmen Pass, plunder the Han people's supplies, and alleviate the current situation of the Xianbei.

For three consecutive days, the Xianbei people did not make any noise, but the cavalry of each Xianbei unit went out of the city with great power.

"General, general, Xianbei people have begun to attack the city." A soldier came to Zhou Yi panting and worshiped.

Zhou Yi's expression changed slightly, and he immediately returned to his expression. He waved his hand and said, "What kind of panic is there? What kind of morality does the Xianbei people have? There are tens of thousands of elite troops in Bingzhou. Once reinforcements arrive, the Xianbei will retreat." After saying that, Zhou Yi walked towards the gate quickly.

"No!" Seeing that Zhou Yi's expression was relaxed, there was no panic at all, the soldier immediately let go of his tight heart.

The rebellion of the Huns was not worth worrying, but when the Xianbei people invaded the territory, Ding Tai's reinforcements would definitely not be able to arrive. Maybe food, grass and materials would not be guaranteed. Ding Yi was a member of Ding Tai's tribe and obeyed his words. If Ding Tai refused, he would not have thought of getting reinforcements from Ding Yi.

Looking at the towering Yanmen Pass, Zhou Yi secretly swears in his heart: "There is the person who is there, the person who is destroyed, and the person who is destroyed!"

Ding Tai repeatedly wanted Zhou Yi to take important positions in the Bingzhou army, but Zhou Yi refused. The country's power was weak. He tried his best to protect this level so that the Xianbei people could not rage on the land of the Han people.

"When will my great man recover his former strength, attack the Xianbei far away, and completely eliminate the disaster of the Xianbei!" Zhou Yi said intimately.

Suddenly, Zhou Yi thought of Jia Rong who was far away in Chang'an. When the Xiliang Army was able to repel the Xianbei army in the Beidi County and capture Murong Feng, he was a brave general. Why didn't he ask for help? As long as the Xiliang Army was willing to send troops, the life of repelling the Xianbei army would not be far away.

The Xianbei army is not siegeing the city, but the pressure brought by tens of thousands of Xianbei soldiers to the defenders on the city is undoubtedly huge. It seems that the Xianbei will siege the city tomorrow.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yi hurriedly left and ordered several soldiers to lead the letter to Chang'an to send the letter.

Both were ministers of the Han Dynasty, Zhou Yi was sure that Jia Rong would not refuse.

The Xianbei invaded the territory, the Xiongnu rebelled, and the Central Plains suffered repeated Yellow Turban disasters, but there was no panic on the faces of the people in the city. With the protection of the powerful Xiliang army, they were very relieved that even the wealthy businessmen in Bingzhou began to migrate to Chang'an.

"Fengxiao, the Xianbei invaded the territory and the Xiongnu rebelled. What do you think about this?" Jia Rong asked with a mouthful of fragrant tea.

Guo Jia said, "The disaster of the Huns, the disease of scabies, and the suffering of Xianbei are the pain of skin. 80,000 Xianbei soldiers invaded the territory, and Yanmen Pass was in danger. At this time, the Xiongnu rebelled. Ding Tai, the governor of Bingzhou, was a short-sighted person. He thought that he would gather the power of Qizhou to suppress the Huns. However, it was cheaper for the Xianbei people. After capturing Yanmen Pass, the entire Youzhou Bingzhou gate will be opened, and the two states will become the Xianbei horse farm."

Jia Rong was slightly moved. Guo Jia's talent is indeed well-deserved. Jia Xu, who has always rarely praised others, praised him a lot in front of him.

"Fengxiao continues to say!"

Guo Jia looked back and saw the officials listening carefully, and continued: "At the same time, this is also a great opportunity."

Jia Rong asked cooperatively: "What opportunity?"

Guo Jia turned his eyes to Jia Xu, and saw that he was still calm and looked disappointed, and he couldn't help but show his disappointment in his eyes. He was sure that Jia Xu must have thought of this, but this chief adviser of the Western Liang Army would not speak loudly in front of everyone, which made people feel that he was sensational. In the past few months with Jia Xu, Guo Jia has never seen through the thoughts of this person who always looked calm on his face.

Of course, Guo Jia has enough confidence in his strategy, and Jia Rong is obviously the kind of person who can listen to his words.

"Lord, our army can send troops to Bingzhou to help Bingzhou governor Ding Tai pacify the Huns, and then work together to defeat the Xianbei army outside Yanmen Pass." Guo Jia said.

Without waiting for Jia Rong to evaluate, Zhang Zhao said, "This plan is absolutely impossible. Ding Tai is the nephew of Ding Yuan in the past. He has great hatred for the Xiliang army. I am afraid that the enemy of the Xiliang army entering Bingzhou will not be the Xiongnu and Xianbei people, but the Bingzhou army."

Jia Rong nodded slightly and turned his gaze to Guo Jia again.
