Water Margin people

A mountain trail somewhere in the Alps.

"Another batch of soldiers is coming? Which batch is this?"

Xin Qiji looked at the people below who were wearing Red Cross robes, chain mail, and holding simple weapons, and he almost thought that these were defeated soldiers who came from somewhere.

"It's the sixth wave, but this team is smaller, only about 500 people! It looks like the enemy really has no more people left, and they still attracted such a small number of people."

A soldier next to him whispered.

"Do you think we can sneak in if we pretend to be reinforcements?"

Xin Qiji bit a piece of unknown grass in his mouth, turned over and looked at the sky and said.

The people recruited by the Western Church this time are very diverse, and it doesn't seem too difficult to blend in with such a mixed reinforcement.

"General, with our looks, won't we be exposed once we show up?"

The soldiers shook their heads like drums. It was not because they were afraid of death, but because they really could not do this job. Going there would be like committing suicide.

Most Westerners have white skin, while the rest are darker or olive-skinned, which is completely different from the yellow skin of the East.

In terms of hair color, most Westerners have blond, red, brown, chestnut, and black hair, but it is very rare. This is also obviously different from the pure black hair in the East.

In terms of facial features, Westerners have prominent brow bones, straight noses, and eyes that are mostly blue, green, and brown, which is very different from the appearance of Oriental people.

"You are stupid. We can give ourselves an identity! Like the Huns! Like the Eastern Barbarians they call us!"

Xin Qiji said, it is certainly dangerous to go this way, but it would be different if he gave himself an identity.

“Also, we can add some Westerners to the mix, so it will be more realistic.”

Xin Qiji added.

"General, you are not serious, are you?"

The soldiers looked at Xin Qiji and asked.

"What do you mean by serious? Of course I am serious! Let's go back!"

Xin Qiji stood up, spat out the grass roots in his mouth, and led his men down the mountain.

Xin Qiji rushed to Lu You's camp.

"Why did you come back just now?"

Lu You looked at Xin Qiji and asked with a frown. Xin Qiji had been away for four days. If it weren't for the telegram contact, he would have suspected that something had happened to Xin Qiji.

"I have gathered more information. The enemy has reinforcements arriving every day. It looks like a decisive battle is about to begin!"

Xin Qiji looked at Lu You and said.

"Oh, do you still need to deliver this message? The enemy's soldiers have all gone to Venice!"

Lu You looked at Xin Qiji and said.

"Declaration of war? What declaration of war?"

Xin Qiji was stunned and asked.

"You're late. Bernard came here with a group of soldiers yesterday. I was going to capture him, but he shouted that he was going to issue a challenge."

Lu You said.

"Where are the others? Have they been captured?"

Xin Qiji asked hurriedly.

"What do you want to take? There are only a dozen people, not even enough for me to sneeze. They are here to challenge Yue Fei and Military Advisor Xiao. How can I take them down?"

Lu You shook his head.

"So they went over there?"

Xin Qiji asked immediately.

"Of course. What can we do if we don't let them go? I stopped them from issuing a challenge, so what have we done? And they came here in a big way. Too many people saw them."

Lu You said that it was not that he did not want to take it down, but he was afraid of the bad influence. The image of Qi State had been established, so it had to be well protected.

"Then I'll go back too!"

Upon hearing this, Xin Qiji hurried to Venice.

"What's the hurry? What does issuing a challenge have to do with you?"

Lu You was totally confused and didn't understand what Xin Qiji was doing. The declaration of war was not intended for a young boy like him, so why was he rushing back?

Xin Qiji did not take the main road. Not only would that be too slow, but he would also run into Bernard, and he did not want Bernard to know him.

Xin Qiji hurried back to Venice. "Why did you come back so soon?"

Xiao Jiasui looked at Xin Qiji in confusion. He sent Xin Qiji to the front line because he didn't want him to cause trouble in the city.

"Did the front line discover something?"

Yue Fei looked at Xin Qiji and asked.

"Isn't that enemy going to issue a declaration of war?"

Xin Qiji said.

"Yes, but they are moving very slowly. They may not arrive until tomorrow."

Yue Fei nodded and said, Bernard was a very cunning guy. He deliberately walked along the main road and slowed down his pace. The group of people were holding flags and parading through the city, making themselves known to everyone.

But in this case, the State of Qi really had no way to deal with him. If he killed someone, his accumulated reputation would be ruined.

"I have an idea!"

Xin Qiji looked at Xiao Jiasui and Yue Fei and said.

"I know it's not a good idea without having to guess!"

Yue Fei said with a smile.

"Military Advisor Xiao, General Yue, the enemy reinforcements are very mixed, with all kinds of people. I think..."

Xin Qiji explained his ideas in detail. In the past two days, he had completed the original rough plan. In his opinion, this plan was foolproof.

Xiao Jiasui and Yue Fei looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

"You are so courageous that you actually want to infiltrate the enemy, especially in this foreign land!"

Yue Fei looked at Xin Qiji and said that this plan was really good, but it would be very dangerous to use it in a foreign area. Even if Xin Qiji had done a lot of cover-ups, it would still be very dangerous.

"First, do you know those foreign languages?"

"Second, how can you be sure those people will accept you?"

"Third, how do you ensure that the aliens you go with won't betray you?"

"Fourth, you can't take all these weapons with you. If anything goes wrong, you're doomed."

……

Yue Fei looked at Xin Qiji and talked about possible accidents. There will always be accidents in war, but generals must be prepared in advance to prevent any accidents from happening.

"General, it's okay. You don't know what kind of people there are..."

Xin Qiji insisted that he had seen the enemy's reinforcements and there would be no problem in sneaking in.

"How many people do you want to take with you?"

Xiao Jiasui touched her chin and looked at Xin Qiji and asked.

"I'll bring fifty soldiers with me! And I'll just need to find five hundred more northern aliens!"

Xin Qiji spoke.

"The ones from the Kimak Khanate won't work. They're too far away and look fake. Only the ones from the Cuman Khanate and Kievan Rus can work."

Xiao Jiasui pondered for a moment and said that Xin Qiji's goal was to disguise himself as a northern barbarian, but the selection of this person was somewhat particular.

"Military Advisor, do you really want to agree?"

Yue Fei looked at Xiao Jiasui and said that he felt there was no need to take risks now, and he also didn't think Xin Qiji could do anything if he went there, as they were already sure to win.

"The people of Kievan Rus tend to have a Western appearance, so in the end only the Cuman Khanate remained, which had some descendants of the Huns, Turks, and Khitans."

Xiao Jiasui said.

"The military advisor is right, then it's the Cuman Khanate!"

When Xin Qiji saw that Xiao Jiasui agreed, he said happily.

"Go and select someone from the alien race!"

Xiao Jiasui said.

"Thank you, strategist!"

Xin Qiji was overjoyed and quickly bowed and left. He was worried that Yue Fei would still object, so he wanted to finalize the matter first and not give Yue Fei a chance to speak. (End of this chapter)
