"Come out! All out! You've been discovered! ”

Outside the dense jungle, several groups of Murong soldiers with knives and guns were shouting into the woods for the beneficiaries.

Around, a group of well-trained soldiers quickly dispersed, surrounding and blocking several passages outside the forest.

"Haven't you come out yet? If you don't want to show up, then we will attack it, and then you will all be seen as rebels and slain! ”

After the man who had originally shouted spoke again, there was a commotion in the woods, but no one came out.

"Humph! Toast without eating and eating penalty wine! Do these people really think that if they get involved with Youzhou, they can do whatever they want? After sneering, the man who gave the order waved his hand, and the surrounding soldiers immediately set up their spears, and then shouted slogans, making a gesture to rush inside!

Finally, under the impact of the soldiers' evil spirit, the people in the woods couldn't withstand the pressure and gave in.

"Don't do it, let's get out!"

As soon as the voice fell, men and women, old and young, walked out of it, their clothes were not much different from ordinary Murong tribesmen, they were all dressed by the Han family, but they were more authentic in the details.

"A few of you ran away without permission, left and right, tied up to me, if you resist, teach you a lesson, if you still don't change, kill directly!"

With this order, the soldiers rushed up, like tigers and wolves, and some directly tore their clothes, and wanted to rummage through these people!

"Don't wait! We are of Chinese Miao descent! If you dare to hurt me, in the future, when General Zhengbei calls, none of you will be able to escape! ”

"yes, don't stop yet! Our original intention was to go to Youzhou, and you just stopped it, if you are looting and beating, or even causing death, the news will spread sooner or later, can you afford the anger of the general? ”

"That's right, Sanzhou Xingke's case, we are innocent, and it is a matter of course to be naturalized in the past, you are hindering it, and you don't take the general and his old man in your eyes!"

This series of questions was spoken, and the person who gave the order couldn't help frowning, he narrowed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and sneered: "You have all escaped, how can there be so much reason? The Xuanjia Army in Youzhou is powerful, but if you can come here and talk about anything else, tie me back! ”

Although the tone was tough, the meaning of the words was much softer, and the soldiers below him also had scruples and did not dare to be arrogant.

In view of this, a few people who escaped accepted it when they saw it, and did not say anything more, because they knew very well that what they had done this time was actually quite taboo.

However, when the escort team returned to Murong Thorn City, there was news that Youzhou would send an envoy over to convey some of Youzhou's requests.

Hearing this, the men and women who fled all showed happy faces, while the expressions of all the Murong soldiers changed, especially the person who gave the order, they felt uncomfortable for a while, but they didn't dare to talk about it casually.

Their team is only one of today's external patrols, and there are still many soldiers who are catching some escapees from around Thorn City, and the relevant news has been sent to Murong Hao's table.

He couldn't help but sigh as he looked at what the information said.

"Why does the young general sigh?" He Jing, who was sitting on the side, saw it and asked knowingly.

Murong Hao said: "In the past few days, I don't know how many people have tried to escape, most of them are people from the Han family, but there are still many people from affiliated tribes, and even people from my Murong tribe inside, it is really a headache, this is just the beginning, and the scale will definitely grow in the future." ”

He Jing nodded and said: "This matter is inevitable, the combat power of the Xuanjia Army has shocked the grassland, the people on this grassland are excited, and they all have the intention of clinging to the strong, especially the people from the Han family, many people were originally because of the chaos in the Central Plains, so they left their hometowns, and now Youzhou is governed by Dazhi and deters the surrounding areas, and they will inevitably have the idea of returning to their roots, which is human nature." ”

"This is only one aspect," Murong Hao shook his head slightly and smiled bitterly, "There are two bigger reasons, but Mr. didn't explain it thoroughly, one of them is the words of the imperial examination!" ”

He Jing nodded again and said: "It is such a reason, this kind of recruitment order, it has been in ancient times, it is said that it should not have such an effect, but there is the Xuanjia Army as a stone of suppression, but it can play a miraculous effect, plus Youzhou has become more and more prosperous in recent years, and the merchants have come and gone frequently, and the reputation has long been spread, but the surrounding people say that Chen Zhengbei does not repair sword soldiers, which slightly stops the surrounding population from defecting, but even so, many people pass every year." ”

"Yes, there have been a few escapes every month in the past, but not many, and if you catch it, you can be punished by the canon, but now it's different, those Han people are all protected by Xuanjia, and the soldiers below don't dare to make a heavy hand when they hear it, and in the long run, I'm afraid that in a few years, Thorn City will be uncultivated." Murong Hao said, becoming more and more worried.

He Jing comforted: "At present, all the departments of the grassland must have such troubles, and it is not owned by Murong alone. ”

Murong Hao smiled bitterly and said: "Although it is not unique to Murong, it must be the biggest problem to come to Thorn City, and the second reason why this people fled is because our Murong clan offended the Zhengbei General's Mansion!" ”

Saying that, he lowered his voice and said quite unwillingly: "The previous battle in Pingzhou, if the speed was faster, the situation would be different, maybe the name of this defeated Xuanjia can still fall on me, so even if I don't take a piece of land, it is of great significance, enough to make the surrounding forces all awe, but now not only did he not get the territory, but he also ended up in such a situation, a few days ago, Chen Zhengbei met with envoys from all sides, but he didn't see Murong Ministry, this is a signal!" So not only did the people flee, but even the surrounding tribes, and even those scattered subordinates, were planning to break away! ”

Speaking of this, Murong Hao's tone changed again, and he said with some indignation: "If you say that you are confronting the Xuanjia Army, then the Tiefu Xiongnu and the Tuoba Department also have actions, but they all feel that the Xuanjia attack on the Xiongnu is an opportunity, so they all have actions, why do you target my Murong clan alone?" ”

When He Jing heard this, he sighed: "Maybe it's because the Xuanjia Army was almost defeated in the hands of the young general." ”

While the two were talking, suddenly a soldier came running quickly, and when they came in, they reported: "Shan Yu invites the major general to come over to discuss the matter." ”

"Got it." Murong Hao was not surprised, with the news coming, such things have often happened in the past few days, but he still subconsciously asked, "Do you know why?" ”

"The people above didn't confess, but there seem to be rumors that Youzhou is going to send an envoy over."

"Youzhou envoy?"

Murong Hao's movements paused and frowned.
