At this time, Todd and Lu Zhi's father, as well as the guides and guards sent by Linzhang, were all dressed as Tuoba Xianbei people, but fortunately, this group used to braiding their hair - "Mr. Tuoba is an exception", and it is not clear whether it is natural baldness, or because of some other reason to shave their heads - so although Tao and Lu are Chinese, they do not reject changing clothes.

You must know that many grassland peoples have the custom of having their hair in the hair, some shave off their top hair, some shave their forehead hair, and some are even more eccentric, keeping their top hair but shaving around it...... said: "The body is skinned, and the parents who receive it dare not destroy it, and the beginning of filial piety is also." "Hair is a common custom among the Chinese, so shaving hair is equivalent to punishment - there are indeed "punishments" in the past - if not, Cao Cao in the front and Pei in the back would not be able to play the trick of "cutting hair on behalf of the head". If you have to shave your hair because you change your clothes, it is estimated that neither the scholar Lu Zhifu nor the common man Tao De will refuse to agree.

Just now in Pei's mansion, Zao Song said a few words, the plan has been decided, there is no objection, Tao De was also a little frightened, did not dare to ask more, and when he came to this mansion, he saw that all the people around him were Xianbei people - although they were both foreigners, the Xiongnu and Xianbei were different after all, and all the Xianbei tribes had been canonized by the Jin Dynasty, and they were friends and not enemies - and finally had the courage to ask. Lu Zhi's father was still silent, because he was a subordinate of the Liu family in Zhongshan, and this group of Tuoba Xianbei turned their backs on Liu and obeyed the king, and their affairs were treacherous, maybe once they knew their identity, they would want to kill people and kill them!

Seeing that he didn't speak, "Mr. Tuoba" turned his head and explained to Tao De: "I waited for the order of Da Shan Yu to come to Youzhou to discuss matters with Wang Da Sima, and when we are done, we will go to Liaodong to contact the Murong Ministry. General Zao ordered, and you and the others followed me and went to Liaodong together......"

Tao De waved his hand again and again: "The villain was ordered by my envoy to go north to deliver the letter, and since it was delivered, he should return to Xuzhou." Please send us out of the city, and let us go." ”

Lu Zhifu also felt that this was the best result, so he opened his eyes wide and stared at "Mr. Tuoba". "Mr. Tuoba" shook his head: "General Zao ordered that you and others should be taken to Liaodong together, and then they would be released - I don't know what you and others did, Wang Dasima will send someone to arrest them, even if they are out of the city, it is also the boundary of Youzhou, if they are captured, I am not, not for what is the virtue......"

Lu Zhifu couldn't help but interject: "Virtue never ends." ”

"Mr. Tuoba" slapped his thigh: "Exactly!" Therefore, you can't indulge for the time being, if you want to escape, I will order someone to seal your mouth and tie your hands, hehehehehe~~"

——————————

In desperation, Todd and Lu Zhi's father had no choice but to accept the "kindness" of "Mr. Tuoba" for the time being, and took a tent to settle down. Seeing that there was no one around, Tao De complained to Lu Zhi's father: "Sir, this time, but it hurt me!" Lu Zhifu couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Who would think that this Fan Yang still has someone who knows me......"

At the beginning, Xi Jian recommended Lu Zhi's father to come to Youzhou, one because he was originally Fan Yang, and he may be familiar with the situation in his hometown, and I believe that he can use more means and channels to lobby Pei Xian and Xun Xuan; Second, Lu Zhi's father has always been bold and anxious to climb up, so he should be willing to take this risk. As for whether his line of hiding will be seen through, Xi Daohui really didn't think too much about it - after all, Lu Zhifu was just a small role in Linzhang, and he had just been promoted to the chief bookkeeper, who would care about a small role?

Besides, although Lu Zhi's father is ugly, he is used to it, so he doesn't think it's different, Xi Jian is a little secret, he didn't expect this person's appearance to be so eye-catching...... Of course, it was even more unexpected that Wang Jun's confidant general Qi Hong actually recognized him, and coincidentally, he bumped into him in person and reported to Wang Jun.

Todd asked Lu Zhifu, what should we do now? Lu Zhifu replied: "I have to follow the Xianbei people to Liaodong for the time being, and when I get out of the tiger's den, I will plan countermeasures." Then he took care of Tao De: "Qing Keyan is also from Xuzhou, don't mention the matter of Linzhang, please, please!" ”

Todd blinked, "Why is that?" ”

So Lu Zhifu chose the relationship between the Liu and Wang families, as well as the relationship between Tuoba Xianbei and the Liu family in Zhongshan, and explained it to Tao De. Todd frowned and asked, "Mr. came to Youzhou with me, is it really here to be a spy?" "Lu Zhifu said that he is not a spy, he should be said to be a "lobbyist" - "On the orders of General Liu, I wanted to persuade Pei and Xun Ergong to abandon the secret and surrender to the Ming and belong to my Liu family, but I didn't want to ...... Alas, I haven't had time to speak......"

Tao De pouted: "I expect that no matter how fanciful Mr. is, it will be difficult to shake the heart of the second prince!" "Falling from the sky" was originally a word used in interpretation, but Pei Gai had used this word more than once that only existed in later generations, so Todd remembered it and said it casually. Father Lu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard it, but he could naturally guess the general meaning, so he asked, "How do you know?" "I don't study the vocabulary with you, just ask you what you think, how do you know that I can't move Pei Xian and Xun Xuan?

Todd replied: "My family envoy often says that the king treats the minister like an enemy, and the minister treats the king like a mustard...... There is no doubt about employing people, Mr. came from outside, and only saw Pei and Xun Ergong for the first time, and General Zao was afraid that this matter would involve the second duke, which shows that Wang Da Sima is suspicious and does not trust his subordinates. In that case, what's the point of being an official under him? If the two dukes were willing to abandon each other, they would have been able to leave a long time ago, so why wait until Mr. came to persuade them? ”

Tao De himself is naturally not clear about Wang Jun's temper, but Pei should have heard his name and read the history books of later generations, but he roughly knew what kind of character this Wang Da Sima was. Therefore, before leaving, he introduced it to Tao De in detail, and instructed Wang Dasima to be suspicious, arrogant, and jealous. even simulated a dialogue situation, and gave a plan for what questions Wang Jun might ask and how Todd should answer.

But I didn't expect Wang Jun to not ask at all, and directly sent Tao De. Although Tao De is uneducated and shallow, he is a little clever by nature, he listened to the dialogue between Pei Xian and Zao Song in Pei's mansion, judged the cause and effect, and came to the conclusion: The two masters are unwilling to run away. Because Wang Jun is not good to them, ordinary people should have the intention of leaving a long time ago, since they did not leave in the past, there must be another reason - for example, there is no place to stay, or they are afraid that the matter will be exposed and Wang Jun will be harmed - so think about it, no matter how much you lobby, I'm afraid it will be useless.

If Pei and Xun want to leave Wang, it is best to defect to Liu, if they have this heart, Shi Le can run away when he is not inserted in the middle, why wait until today?

When Lu Zhifu heard his words, he couldn't help but sigh: "What Qing said seems to be reasonable-it is really Pei Yuanjun's subordinates, under the strong generals, there are no weak soldiers." ”

The two of them talked for most of the night, and then they fell asleep tired. When he set out early the next morning, "Mr. Tuoba" came to Tao De again, handed him a letter, and said: "This is sent by Pei Gong through General Zao, and he wants you to send it to Liaodong—just by the way." ”

Todd took the letter and looked at it, only to see that the cover read: "The book is presented to the second brother and the king, and the younger brother is respectful." ”

Pei Gai ordered that military officials at all levels must know how to read, and this rule was naturally applied to the subordinates around him, and even to the slaves, so Todd was no longer illiterate, but a relatively high semi-literate. The envelope was full of commonly used words, and he could naturally recognize it, and he could roughly understand the meaning - this was Pei Xian asking him to send a letter to a person named "Dajun", who was second in line, and Pei Xian called him "brother".

Pei Xian is Pei Gai's elder, since he has a life, Tao De doesn't dare to be, the question is who is this "Maharaja"? I don't have a real name or an address, so where can I go to send a letter? asked "Mr. Tuoba", but the other party didn't know, so he had to take it back and ask Lu Zhifu again.

Lu Zhifu thought for a while and replied, "Youyun: 'Wu Dawei is the king. This person may have a single name for the word 'wu'. Xuansu's name is Pei Wu, isn't that what he refers to? ”

When Todd heard this, he couldn't help but suddenly realize that he said, "It must be!" "It's all the Pei family, it's normal to let yourself help deliver a letter, it's just-" Where is Xuansu? ”

Lu Zhifu smiled bitterly: "To the west of Fanyang is the Yan Kingdom, and then Beiping, Liaoxi, and Changli, and after Changli is Xuansu......"

"Oh my God, how far is this!"

Lu Zhifu comforted Tao De and said: "This is going to the Murong Department, it is already in the north of Liaodong, and when you get there, it will not be far from Xuanfu." That's it, I'll go with Qing this time. He said in his heart that he was returning from Liaodong, with thousands of mountains and rivers, and he was not familiar with the journey, but how to go back to Linzhang? If you can ask Xuanwu Taishou to send a famous guide to accompany you, maybe it will be more convenient. I'm going to be forced to go a long way anyway, and I don't care if I walk hundreds of miles more.

——————————

The group followed Tuoba Xianbei's team, left Zhuoxian, and headed northeast. There is no danger on the road, there are no less than 100 Xianbei envoys and subordinates, and more than 300 horses, donkeys and mules, they are coerced in the middle, and it is impossible to run away halfway - but this is just Lu Zhi's father's extravagant hope, Todd didn't think about running away, he still has to go to Xuansu to deliver a letter.

The journey of more than 1,500 miles, after walking back and forth for nearly a month, on the way, after repeated snooping by Tao De and Lu Zhifu and others, and obtaining information, I finally roughly understood the mission of these Xianbei people.

The root cause was that Wang Jun contacted the Xianbei Duan of Liaoxi to go south and attack Shile, but the result was not only defeated, but Duan Mozhu was also a brother with Shi Hu. From then on, although the Duan clan still respected Wang Jun's orders, as soon as Wang Jun mentioned beating Shile, Duan Ji and Lu immediately shook their heads and refused. Wang Jun was angry in his heart, so he humbly resigned and went to contact the Tuoba Department, secretly invited troops, and wanted to attack Liaoxi.

In the east and north of Youzhou, there is not only a Xianbei tribe of the Duan clan, but also the Yuwen Department in the north of the Duan clan, and the Murong tribe in the east of the Duan clan. Wang Jun was afraid that the Tuoba Department would be tired from afar and it would be difficult to defeat the Duan clan, so he discussed with the envoy who came to contact the Tuoba Ministry, and planned to mobilize the Murong Department to help - the relationship between the Yuwen Department and the Duan clan was better, so there was no need to go and touch the nails.

The messenger of the Tuoba Department is the "Mr. Tuoba", whose name is very simple, called Tuoba Head. He was born in the Tuoba royal family, and he was close to the acting king and Dadan Yu Tuoba Yi Luben, but the relationship was relatively estranged. After listening to Wang Jun's suggestion, Tuoba Tou expressed his position, saying that they are all Xianbei clans, why don't I go and help Da Sima contact you, it is easier to talk between the same clan, you only need to help with the travel expenses-this is why this trip to Liaodong was born.

Digging deeper, why did the Tuoba Department, which was originally dependent on the Liu family of Zhongshan, turn to help Wang Jun? It is not only because Wang Jun gave enough benefits, but more importantly, because just over four months ago, there was a coup d'état in the Tuoba Ministry, and Tuoba Yilu was killed by his eldest son Tuoba Liuxiu!

It's still an old drama of the heir dispute, Tuoba Yilu prefers his youngest son Tuoba Biyan, and plans to abolish the elder and younger, so Tuoba Liuxiu brazenly raised troops and slaughtered Lao Tzu, his brothers, and his mother-in-law......

The policy of the Tuoba Department was changed because of the change of people in Da Danyu, from supporting Liu Kun alone, to wanting to profit from the two subordinates in the dispute between Liu and Wang, so Wang Jun sent people over and offered a large amount of grain and materials.

After finding out these news, Lu Zhifu couldn't help but sigh: "Tuoba betrays the alliance, I'm afraid that Jinyang will not be able to last long......"
