Tiandao doesn't work today

The next day, Yan Nu set out on his way north.

Three hundred scouts came out in full force. Of course, they did not move forward in a group.

The entire area north of Gaomi City was occupied territory. Once the more than 300 scouts were dispersed, there would not be many left.

According to Miaohan's combing of the files, it was discovered that the original intelligence network had collapsed, and only a few scattered secret outposts remained.

If they want to reconnect the intelligence transmission routes, the three hundred people can only do so reluctantly.

Miaohan worked out a new scout distribution overnight, and finally arranged more than 300 people properly.

As for the most dangerous route and the one most likely to encounter the main force of the Tufa Clan, Yan Nu will lead the team himself.

As they marched, the number of people in the team became smaller and smaller. Finally, when they arrived at the Xiashan Lake area, only twenty people were left.

A cave in the hills east of Xiashan Lake. This is the farthest safe site from Gaomi City.

There is plenty of food, complex terrain, and many homing pigeons.

It can be said to be the most important scout resting point in existence.

Miaohan Lunjinbo is wearing a sword and is sitting here personally.

She knelt down in front of the desk and circled several locations on a map, all of which were locations to the west and north of Xiashan Lake where she might encounter the main force of the Tufa clan.

She then handed the map to a scout who looked like an old farmer.

"Han Tiedao, there must be one of these places where you will encounter the main force of the Tufa clan. Once you find out, report it immediately."

"Yes, Secretary Zhu." The scout who looked like an old farmer immediately obeyed the order and put the map away.

Miao Han said to Yan Nu again: "You will lead the team yourself, but listen to Lao Han in everything. They are all the most elite scouts."

Yan Nu grinned: "Don't worry."

"I'm just worried..." Miaohan smiled bitterly and said, "Do you know why I selected these places? Because if the army wants to be stationed, it must be close to water sources and have supplies."

"These places have water sources and dense villages. The Tufa clan comes and goes like the wind, and often robs people of their food on the spot..."

"I know your character very well. If we meet, I'm afraid you will go crazy..."

Yan Nu wondered: "Are you afraid that I can't win?"

Miaohan looked at him seriously: "I'm afraid you won't be able to kill him cleanly..."

"If you encounter a small group of Rangers, you either don't take action, or if you do, you can't let any of them escape."

"And if you find the main force of the Tufa clan, you must come back and discuss it with me in the long term."

Yan Nu nodded, and then asked: "What will happen if I can't kill him cleanly?"

Miao Han said solemnly: "Your strength is to give the Bald Hair family a fatal blow. If you are exposed in advance, others will have countermeasures."

"Whether it's a strange object or a bald Yak, we still have too many unknowns, not to mention that too much movement will provoke the Immortal Sect..."

"Now there is still peace south of Gaomi City. The reason is not that who is holding it, but that the Tufa Clan did not go south at all."

"Even if you can fight one against ten thousand, how can you stop them if they don't fight you and spread out to kill the people?"

"The occupied areas have been eroded. Our goal is to protect more people. We must not lose the big for the small."

"The goal this time is intelligence. When we are fully prepared, we will completely eliminate the Tufa Clan and Yan Slave. The overall situation is our top priority."

Yan Nu tilted his head, thought for a moment and said, "I remember."

Miaohan looked at the map carefully and estimated the time: "I hope to see you before dark tomorrow."

"good."

Yan Nu nodded heavily and set off with Huang Banyun and the three most elite scouts.

A group of five people rode horses, first heading north, and then exploring all the way west.

There are three elite scouts, two of them are strong and strong, exuding the powerful bloody aura of the battlefield.

They separated from Yan Nu on horseback and pulled out two miles to the left and right.

There was another person wearing a bamboo hat, dressed like an old farmer, with a slightly stooped body and dark skin folds, following Yan Nu.

His personal force may not be outstanding, but assassination, poisoning, traps and other methods are all his specialties.

More importantly, he has extremely superb disguise skills and a pervasive ability to spy on intelligence.

Yan Nu walked out of the Xiashan Lake area and came to a wasteland.

It should have been a large area of ​​grassland and farmland, but now there are dark burn marks everywhere. It is obvious that there has been a fire here.

So much so that a plain was burned into a wasteland.

In the wasteland, Yan Nu had only walked less than ten miles when he saw corpses one after another.

Long roads were paved with corpses and were eaten by packs of wild dogs.

"Most of them starved to death."

"Judging from the route, they wanted to flee south, but they couldn't hold on and fell dead on the road."

Han Tiedao was experienced. After examining several corpses and traces, he immediately gave the answer.

Yan Nu clenched his spear and murmured: "If they walk ten more miles, they will be able to find something to eat."

Huang Banyun sighed: "If we walk another fifty miles, we will reach Gaomi."

Yan Nu walked and watched all the way, feeling very uncomfortable.

He was eating a banquet in Gaomi City the day before yesterday. He never thought that so many people would starve to death just fifty miles outside the country.

These people endured hunger and panic and tried their best to escape here, but they eventually fell.

In just fifty miles, there are two completely different worlds.

"Marquis, we have seen people in front of us." A scout rushed back and said.

"Take me there quickly!" Yan Nu's eyes lit up.

They soon found a dilapidated village.

The village had been completely burned down, the stench of blood filled the air, and corpses with mutilated limbs were everywhere.

There is a water source nearby that flows into the village. It is obviously the daily water used by the villagers.

But now in the ditch and pond, there are only piles of corpses, hands and feet resting on each other, blood and some things mixed into the water, turning into colorful colors.

Han Tiedao quickly judged: "He died more than five days ago because he was looted and hacked by the insurgents."

"It should be a small group of rangers. No trace of the large army was found."

Even though Huang Banyun was a scholar who had been in the martial arts world, he had never seen such a scene before, and he looked so ugly that he felt like vomiting.

Yan Nu was even more furious. Miao Han only told him that Tufa was robbing property and food, but now was this robbery?

He frowned and looked at the scout who reported before: "Is this what you said about discovering the people?"

"Junhou, no..." the scout said quickly: "I saw the figures of the common people from a long distance, and there were several alive."

Han Tiedao said: "They must have seen the sound of horse hooves and hid when they discovered we were approaching."

Yan Nu immediately shouted: "Look for me quickly!"

Everyone searched around for a while, but found no trace of anyone alive.

Yan Nu decisively asked Qingniao to release his consciousness, and finally found a secret cellar in a collapsed house, with dozens of people crowded inside.

He ran over and opened the cover in one fell swoop.

It was pitch dark inside, without any light or sound.

But Yan Nu knew that dozens of people were looking up at him eagerly.

"Come out quickly." Yan Nu squatted down and put his hand deep into the dark room.

The dozens of pairs of eyes inside were staring at the hand reaching out from the glowing exit, not daring to make a sound.

Little did they know, the owner of this hand could see them.

There was a crash, and I grabbed one of them nearby and lifted him up easily.

The others just watched without saying a word, neither resisting nor crying, and allowed the hand to pull them out of the dark room one by one.

Huang Banyun came over and looked at the people who were fished out. They were all covered in black and covered with burnt charcoal, obviously to help them hide in the darkness.

After they were fished out, some wanted to run away, but when they saw Huang Banyun and three other soldiers with weapons, they immediately lost all courage.

They all huddled under the ruins and shivered.

Everything went on silently until Yan Nu vacated a space and jumped into the cellar.

He looked around, patted a mother and said, "Stop covering her child. You are suffocating the child to death."

The woman let go of her hand, and the seven or eight-year-old child in her arms was stunned for a moment. After realizing that he had been discovered, he cried out.

His movement instantly broke the silence of the scene.

For a time, from all sides of Yan Nu, either low sobbing or heavy breathing could be heard.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here to save you."

Yan Nu said loudly and sent them all out of the cellar.

When he jumped out on his own, he was dirty and covered in charcoal.

The scouts were not wearing the usual military robes and looked more like horse thieves.

The common people huddled together, more than twenty people, facing five people, and did not dare to resist at all.

However, Huang Banyun took out some dry food and distributed it to them. The people finally calmed down and realized that they were really here to save lives.

"Don't get me wrong, we are an official army." Huang Banyun took out a small official seal.

The people nodded and did not cheer for joy. They just ate up the food quickly.

Yan Nu asked: "Why are you hiding here? Xiashan Lake is not far from here, and beyond it is Gaomi. There will be people there who will take you in."

"Is high-density safe?" The people were stunned, with hope on their faces.

Yan Nu was stunned, and then he realized, yes, Gaomi has not fallen yet, how could they know such a thing?

After some questioning, he finally understood the situation.

The war displaced countless people and fled south, but only some of them managed to escape to safety.

Many more died on the road.

After all, ordinary people, no one told them to run away. They only started to run away when the flames of war came before their eyes and they discovered the Tufa clan's cruelty.

It only took a month and a half for Tufa to fight his way from Jishui to here.

The people fled and hid in various places, but they were not as fast as the Tufa clan in conquering the city.

Only those who are lucky and have food can escape to the south of Gaomi.

But no one would look back and tell them the situation of the war, and tell them where there was no war.

From the perspective of ordinary people, they can only run and hide like headless flies.

"We are not from this village, we escaped from Guanggu."

"When I got here, I saw that the village was being massacred. I was afraid of encountering bandits, so I found a cellar and hid."

"I was very hungry, so I went out to look for food. I have been hiding here for five days."

"Thank you, thank you so much for the food..."

They gradually let go of their fear, cried, and thanked him profusely. This seemed to be the only thing they could do.

Yan Nu waved his hand and asked a few more questions, and the people quickly told everything they knew about the situation.

Without any intelligence about the enemy, they just instinctively ran in the opposite direction of the war.

As a result, when I ran here, I found that the village in front of me had been massacred. From the perspective of the common people, I thought that there were barbarians in all directions.

Of course, we can only find a place to hide and survive.

Yan Nu was extremely sad to hear this: "You said that there were many people hiding in the small town we passed last time?"

The common people nodded, indicating that their initial fleeing team was large, but later they encountered a group of Tufa cavalry and were scattered.

After that, the more people walked, the fewer people there were. Some people wanted to go east, some people wanted to go south, and some people found good places and decided to hide.

Therefore, there must be many similar refugees, scattered in the occupied areas, causing trouble every day and the earth.

Yan Nu immediately asked the scouts to take out all the dry food they had, and then used the Tai Huang White Jade Sutra to moisturize their meridians.

The people just felt comfortable all over and their blood was boiling.

"You all know where Gaomi is, right? There are no enemies along the way." Yan Nu guided them to Gaomi.

Then he got on his horse and pointed his spear in another direction.

"Everyone, let's go and save people!"

The two scouts were stunned: "Marquis, that town is not our mission target."

"Could it be that you knew someone was about to die there and didn't care?" Yan Nu said confidently.

The two scouts twitched their mouths. They were both well-trained old scouts, and everything was focused on the mission.

But he couldn't stand his boss's willfulness, so he started to go astray so quickly?

The military orders were like a mountain, and the two of them looked at Han Tiedao.

Han Tiedao took a deep look at Yan Nu, nodded and said, "Here!"

…

p.s: Sorry.
