In order to survive, these three little leaders are also preparing with all their might.

In contrast, the old nobles of the Northern Wei Dynasty in the southern Pingcheng are like a puddle of mud, and they can no longer be supported.

The three little leaders had their stuff ready in less than two hours, and the whole team was not large, but only a hundred. And among these 100 people, half of them went to Rouran'an.

Initially, for safety, Rehancha received the order and sent scouts to investigate.

But the more they went on, the more they found that the Wei people in the interior of Pingcheng seemed to have paid no attention to the meaning of the northern grasslands. Even when the most advanced group of scouts saw the head of Pingcheng from a distance, they didn't even have half of the patrol soldiers.

After a series of things and considerations, these three leaders have completely sided with Rouran.

Rehancha took a few personal soldiers and sent the team of more than 100 people all the way to a place ten miles outside Pingcheng.

The soldiers above the city are still gambling in their own groups, so even when they can see the team of more than 100 people from a distance when they stand on the city head, the soldiers above the city still can't find out.

It wasn't until the group was about to arrive at the city that a soldier inadvertently noticed someone coming from afar.

The soldier then touched the other person next to him with his elbow, and when they both saw the group of people in the distance, they exchanged glances and understood each other's meaning.

"How could these steppe people come at this time?" One asked.

"I don't see that it's almost time for the next tribute, I'm afraid I want to finish the tribute as soon as possible, and end the matter quickly."

"So, let's go down and ask?"

After the man finished speaking, both of them laughed immorally.

These two people just lost a lot in Fang Cai's gamble, and now that they see that there are fatty fish to slaughter, of course they won't miss it.

Under the head of the city, the three leaders stepped forward and shouted out the intention of this trip, "General, the Jiuha Division, the Yiwu Division, and the Caoliangjian Division are here with tribute."

Many of the soldiers in the city were attracted by the sound, but the two who first noticed the steppe people walked first.

After opening the city gate, across the moat, the two shouted, "Hatsurafan, why did you come so early this season?"

Chu Liufan is the leader of the Yi Wu Tribe, and he is also the person who has been communicating with Rehancha just now.

Although these two people have no place in the Wei army, they are fake and mighty, so that they dare to make a mistake in front of the three of them.

Hearing this, Chu Liufan hugged his fists and said, "General, you also know that the grassland is in good weather in early spring this year, and there are not many cattle and sheep that froze to death last year, so all departments have a lot of grain in stock this year."

"Then why is it that only the three of you tribes are here?"

Chu Liufan said: "General, you also know that these tribes on our grassland are in their own way, and the three of us have discussed it."

"I see. Beginner Leader, it seems that you have had a good time this year."

"With your blessings, General, this year's life can still be passed, and the days are not so tight."

After the first stream finished speaking, the soldier sighed, "Oh, the leader of the first stream, your life is good, and we people are not so happy. Now that there is a war on the front line, although Pingcheng does not send troops, life is much worse, and now I have to count the days of drinking and eating meat."

The meaning of the words is so straightforward, the first people don't know what he means, but fortunately, they have been prepared.

Chu Liufan smiled and said, "General, the three of us have prepared some small gifts to honor you and your brothers."

Hearing that Chu Liufan would come like this, the two soldiers were no longer embarrassed, and one of them raised his hand to signal the people at the head of the city to put down the pontoon bridge and let Chu Liufan and others come over.

Seeing this, the three of them immediately motioned for everyone behind them to follow into the city.

When they passed by the two soldiers, the three of them stopped. They motioned for the others behind them to go first, and each of them took out two bulging purses from their bosoms.

Two for each of them, and two of the soldiers each got three purses, and at a glance they knew that it was a lot of money.

After getting the money, smiles immediately appeared on the faces of the two, and they were no longer embarrassed

。

In the rear, Rehancha and the rest of the people did not dare to make unnecessary movements for the time being, and could only wait for the feedback given by the city at present.

Since there were no sword hiders among the more than 10,000 people who entered Heijo, it also made it more difficult to steal intelligence information to a certain extent.

After entering the city, Chu Liufan and the others were taken straight to the city lord's mansion.

In Pingcheng, the administrative institutions set up by the imperial court could not play a role at all, and the city lord's mansion was naturally not controlled by the imperial court.

The number of people who came from the first three tribes was small, but the tribute items were loaded by several carriages.

The name of the main road in Pingcheng is called Hidden Dragon Road, and the meaning of the name can be seen from the name.

Zanglong Road is also one of the most lively long streets in the whole of Heijo.

The various items brought by the Jiuhabu, Yiwubu, and Caoliangjian stretched far away, naturally attracting the views of people on the roads around the Hidden Dragon Road or in the attic.

The people in Pingcheng are no strangers to this, because they can see it almost every one or two months, and they also know that it is a small tribe of the northern steppe who has come to pay tribute.

Because Chuliufan and others have another purpose for this trip, even if they hide it well, they will still worry about being seen, so they have not been easy along the way.

And under this atmosphere, those Rouran people hidden in the team saw that Pingcheng really did not have to be afraid, and there was no atmosphere of any important town inside and outside the city, even if there were 40,000 troops in the city, they were not the same enemy.

Chu Liufan and the others were only responsible for leading the way, and the rest of the things were naturally handed over to other people.

The convoy drove so slowly all the way to the City Lord's Mansion, and when it was about to arrive, the long convoy was taken in another direction. At the beginning of the stream, a few people went to the house by car.

Originally, most of the team went to escort the goods, and the people who followed the three of them were all people who claimed to be personal guards.

It wasn't the first time they had come, and most of the people in the City Lord's Mansion had seen it, so they didn't care about the relatively unfamiliar guards who appeared this time.

Although the atmosphere in the city is very loose, the vigilance in the city lord's mansion is still as forest as ever.

A few people in the group were able to be taken to the hall to wait after a strict screening, and the first stream on the road also explained the meaning to Rouran.

When they arrived in the hall, they sat down one by one, and the three of them sat down, while the rest stood behind them.

I waited for half an hour and no one appeared, and some beginners who didn't know the situation looked around to see if anyone could ask. After paying attention several times, he also encountered a patrol team in the house.

Seeing this, Chu Liufan got up and walked forward quickly and asked, "This captain, I want to ask if General Cao Yin is in the mansion?"

The captain of the squad looked Chu Liufan up and down when he heard this, and before he spoke, Chu Liufan took out another purse from his arms with great interest, this time it was not so bulging, but it obviously had some weight.

Seeing this, the squad leader naturally accepted it and then said, "General Cao went out of the city with his personal guards to hunt, and now he is not in the mansion, at least he has to wait for the night."

Hearing this, Chu Liufan hugged his fists and said, "Thank you."

The squad leader didn't care, turned around and continued walking.

One of the several Rouran people who mixed in was named Chang Ming Tu, and he also had a Han family name, Chang Ming Tu.

This person has a lot of contact with the Wei people, so he was sent this time, also as a leader.

After Chuliufan came back and sat down, Chang Mingtu said, "Are all your purses prepared in advance?"

Chu Liufan said: "The general is right, because of this, the three of us have suffered a lot before, and now we have learned to be obedient. In Pingcheng, if you ask for people, especially these people, it will not work at all without preparing some money."

Chang Mingtu didn't really care too much about this, what he cared about was the diametrically opposite aura in the City Lord's Mansion and the outside world.

"You just said General Cao Yun? Could it be that the leader of the old nobles in Pingcheng is a Han Chinese?"

Chu Liufan shook his head when he heard this: "The general doesn't know, this Cao Yun's original name is Buliu Gu Yiqing, and Cao Yun is his Han name?"

"It's also the same as Emperor Wu back then

Reform-related?" Chang Mingtu asked.

Chu Liufan nodded: "He originally wanted to comply with the call of the imperial court, but then he refused for some reason. It's just that later on, he often called himself a Han name, and when we came to pay tribute, we only dared to call him General Cao."

"What are the habits of this Cao Yun on weekdays? And like the people below, they regard money as their life?"

Chu Liufan heard this: "General Hui, it's actually pretty much the same, but Cao Yun's expression is more tactful. But if we can't hear the meaning of his words, if there is really nothing to say, then we ourselves will be miserable. Many years ago, there was even a matter of being directly killed by Cao Yun because of this incident. But there's one thing I need to tell you, General. According to my surprise at entering and leaving the City Lord's Mansion many times, the City Lord's Mansion is only compact on the surface, but in fact it is just as scattered as the inside of the city."

"Oh? Could it be that there are other secrets here?"

"It's not a secret. Although Cao Yun is the number one in Pingcheng, it is not the Buliu Gu clan that even if the other old nobles are connected, it is enough for Bu Liugu to have a headache, but he is temporarily respected by Bu Liugu. All along, although they appeared to be fine, in reality, they wanted to kill each other."

After that, Chang Mingtu didn't let Chu Liufan continue, and he had a rough idea of the future plan in his heart.

Several people waited until the evening, when the night was getting darker, and finally saw the general named Cao Yun.

Cao Yun's appearance was a bit unexpected to Chang Mingtu, obviously he was born as a military general, but he looked like a Taoist priest, and he was immortal.

After seeing the three of them, Cao Yun smiled as he walked: "A few people haven't come to the house to drink tea for a few days, come here, watch the tea."

After Cao Yun finished speaking, the three of them were naturally in a hurry to thank them, and they didn't dare to say a word.

"General Cao, we're not here to visit you." As he spoke, a smile appeared on the faces of the three of them, but it was more ugly than crying.

Cao Yunquan didn't see it, and sat down to drink tea by himself.

Seeing the three of them sit down, Cao Yun asked, "How is the situation on the grassland recently?"

Chu Liufan said: "Thanks to your blessing, General General, it was not so cold last winter, and the cattle and sheep were frozen to death in a minority, and after the spring this year, the weather has been good, the wind and rain are smooth, and I want to come this year smoothly and smoothly." z.br>

After Chu Liufan finished laughing, Cao Yun on the other side put away his smile, and he suddenly sighed to himself: "It seems that your life is much better than ours, Leader Chu."
