Yuan Li hurried to Xinping City, and before he entered the city, he found that something was wrong, there were many remnants in the field, and they were queuing up to be collected.

He reined in his horse and looked around, and then instructed his soldiers, "Go and ask." ”

They were soon spotted by a group of soldiers, pointed their guns at them, and asked suspiciously, "Who are you?" ”

Yuan Lidao: "We are Han Chinese, and we came from Luoyang to do business. ”

"Doing business? Just a few of you? What about the goods? ”

Yuan Li said: "We are exploring the way, the caravan is behind, it is a big caravan, I don't know what happened here, why are there so many people?" ”

The soldier did not answer him, but asked him for directions.

Yuan Li showed him the way to backup.

As the head of the shadows, he has all kinds of guides.

The soldier carefully distinguished, and saw that he was a big trader who came and went from various places, his face looked better, and with a wave of his hand, the person behind him put away his gun.

"It's nothing, we welcome those who come to do business, let's go into the city."

Yuan Li dismounted, took out a money bag from his arms and stuffed it into the soldier's hand, and said in a low voice: "Please also ask the official to reveal one or two, our caravan is large, and the goods we bring are not very expensive, but they are bulky, I think this is a war, if this is a ......."

"Don't worry, the battle has been fought, our Xinping City has won, there will be no more wars, you have something to just send it, our general is happy, maybe I can wrap it up for you."

Xinping City can prosper so quickly, half of which is due to Zhao Hanzhang's support for it, Wu Sheng's caravan always comes to Xinping City twice a year no matter where it goes, which attracts nearby herdsmen and farmers to come to Xinping City to trade.

The soldiers did not understand the economy, but they intuitively knew that the more merchants came, the better life would be in Xinping City, so they welcomed every merchant who came here, especially Han merchants.

Yuan Li entered Tan Binh City in this way.

As soon as he joined the secret inspection in Xinping City, he learned that Tuoba Yi Lu led the army to capture Tuoba Liuxiu, but he lost the battle.

The secret inspector said in a low voice: "We are in the army, Tuoba Yilu is in the rear of the Chinese army, until the army is defeated, and the father and son have not seen it. ”

Yuan Li: "...... Tuoba Yilu was defeated like this? ”

How to fight a war is like child's play.

The secret inspection also felt, "Tuoba Lu did not send the vanguard army to explore the way, directly pressed the army, and was ambushed halfway through the river, and after forcibly crossing the river, he continued to move forward after only a little repair, and did not set up camp for rectification, nor did he send reinforcements, he seems to be very confident in winning the battle of Tuoba Liuxiu." ”

Yuan Li: If he hadn't had faith, he wouldn't have sent troops.

Yuan Li asked, "What about Tuoba Yilu?" ”

"Escaped, Tuoba Liuxiu sent a large number of people to guard the pass, cutting off the passage from Xinping City to Pingcheng, at this time he should still be near Xinping City, we have also sent people from all over the place to check, there is no news yet."

Yuan Li said: "Disperse everyone, be sure to find him, you must not let him return to Pingcheng, what about Tuoba Pu Sugen?" ”

"He was stationed at the border of Bingzhou, and Tuoba Yilu transferred him back when he transferred troops to Bingzhou, and he stayed at the border."

Yuan Li sneered, "If you want to take advantage of the danger of others, it also depends on whether their father and son have this ability, Your Majesty is right, on behalf of the country, it is not suitable to establish Tuoba Yilu or Tuoba Pusugen." ”

As for Tuoba Biyan, a wine bag and rice bag are not in Zhao Hanzhang's eyes

Yuan Li continued to ask, "What about Wei Xiong?" ”

Secretly observed: "After the first ambush, Wei Xiong guarded the left flank, and in the second ambush, he directly led people out of the brigade, and all the left flank troops were taken away by him, and there has been no news until now." Tuoba Liuxiu was afraid of deception, and kept sending people to find and pursue. ”

Yuan Li was satisfied, "Don't worry about the left flank, the top priority is to find Tuoba Yilu, if he escapes, he will be able to raise troops and come back soon." ”

Tuoba Yilu only brought Pingcheng's soldiers and horses with him on this expedition, and in addition to Pingcheng, he still had troops on the border of Bingzhou, Shengle City and other places, especially along the Bingzhou line, where he put 100,000 people.

Once he escapes, he can immediately raise his troops and start again.

Tuoba Liuxiu obviously knew this, and ordered all the tribes to send orders everywhere, and if anyone could find Tuoba Yilu, the reward would be one hundred taels, one hundred cattle, and one thousand sheep.

This edict and the portrait of Tuoba Yilu were passed at the speed of a horse to the grasslands and villages under Tan Binh City.

Going down with them was the search squad.

In a remote village, a dilapidated thatched hut fell on the edge of the village, half of the low wall had collapsed, and half of it was still standing there.

There were a lot of weeds and roots in the yard, and a peasant woman folded the portrait she had just received in two, took out a piece of clothing, stretched out the cracked back, and made a large hole, and tried to put the paper in it.

She knew that this paper could not be washed, or even caught in the rain, but she really had nothing to sew up, and this paper was still the one she grabbed yesterday.

After sewing, she doesn't wash it, and she doesn't wear it when it rains, so that she can wear it for a long time, and she can wash this relatively complete set of clothes once, and she can wear it less, and it will deteriorate a little more slowly, and she can wear it in winter.

The peasant woman took a needle and thread and sewed it carefully, and only halfway through the sewing was done, when the door creaked, and she looked up, and saw a middle-aged man with a disheveled hair and a full beard appear at the door.

The peasant woman shrank in fright, got up and asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”

The man hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, don't be afraid, I am a merchant passing by here, because I met a bandit and got lost with my family, so I came to ask for a bowl of water to drink." ”

When the peasant woman heard this, she put down her clothes, went up to look at him carefully, and saw that he had no weapon in his hand, and that his coat looked dirty and bloodstained, and reluctantly believed him, and invited him in, and while pouring water for him, she asked, "Where did you meet the bandit?" ”

The man took the bowl and threw it up, still about to drink, and said casually: "Just twenty or thirty miles away from here, there are horse thieves." ”

The peasant woman's hand trembled slightly, poured him another bowl of water, looked at him quietly, and then turned around to fetch a basin of water, "There is blood on the guest's body, wash your hands and face first, but there is an injury?" I have some herbs at home that may stop the bleeding. ”

As soon as the man heard this, he immediately responded.

He did have injuries on his body, although it was not very serious, but the weather was hot at this time, and he was afraid that it would worsen, and it was best to have medicine.

He rolled up his sleeves, washed his face and hands, and handed the handkerchief to the woman.

When the woman saw his face, she took it, wrung out the veil and hung it on a shelf, and led him to the courtyard to look at the herbs. ”

For some common medicines used in trauma, Tuoba Yilu naturally understood, so he chose on the dustpan and was very disgusted, "Are there only these kinds of medicines?" ”

"It's not easy to pick these kinds, the precious medicinal materials belong to the king, if we dare to pick them, we will rob the king's things, and if we want to ask for the guilt, only this kind of worthless can we pick them."

Tuoba Yilu then stopped talking, and after selecting two herbs, he asked the woman to crush them and dress his wounds for a while.

Wake up late, wake up late
