The sky is blue, the wilderness is vast, the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep. At this moment, there were herds of cattle and sheep under the noses of Xie Sanshu and Pi Shiyi, and there were many people harvesting wheat.

The hiding place of Xie Sangun and Pi Eleven was a meadow on a hillside, surrounded by half-man-high grass, and many luxuriant trees, which could hide the traces of the two of them, and their mounts were unsaddled and leisurely nibbled on the fat and juicy young grass in the distance. The most important thing in the steppe is cows, horses, and sheep, and two horses without a saddle graze on the hillside and do not attract special attention.

Looking down from the hiding place of Xie Sangun and Pi Shiyi, you can see a clear river, meandering like a jade belt on the plain overgrown with water and grass, full of cattle and sheep, and thousands of people busy in the wheat fields by the river, harvesting the already golden wheat.

"Don't Tartars know how to farm? He planted so much wheat, I'm afraid there are hundreds of hectares, and his grandmother's has to harvest so much grain! Pi Eleven said in a low voice.

Xie Sangun moved the monocular in his hand, shook his head and said, "It's not Tatar, it's Hermes-Epitek." ”

Pi Shiyi also raised the binoculars and observed for a while, nodded and said: "Yes, it is true that most of them are Han Chinese, and his grandmother's must be the Ming people who were kidnapped by the Tartars." ”

Xie Sangun's heart moved, and he said in a low voice: "Pi Shiyi, do you think this will be Fengzhou River?" It is said that Zhao Quan, the remnant of the White Lotus, took refuge in the Tatars and built Bansheng City in Fengzhou River, luring the border people to take refuge in order to produce food for the Tatars. ”

Pi Shiyi's eyes lit up and said, "Fourth brother, this is really likely to be Fengzhou River." ”

It is said that Xie Sangun and Pi Shiyi tracked the horse thief who came down from Heitai Mountain that day, but it was dark on the way, which brought great inconvenience to the tracking, and finally the two had to wait until dawn to continue tracking, so they chased and came to this place.

This place is full of cattle and sheep, and the tracks of people and horses are chaotic, Xie Sangun and Pi Shiyi naturally can't track them anymore, and they are worried about encountering Tartars, so they have to hide on this hillside to observe the situation clearly and then make a decision.

Really let Xie Sangun and Pi Shiyi guess correctly, this is indeed Fengzhou River, the river under the hillside is Xiaohei River, and Zhao Quan's Bansheng City is just a few miles to the left.

Xie Sangun frowned, if this is Fengzhou River, and what is the horse thief from Heitai Mountain doing here, does it mean that Heitai Mountain is colluding with Tartars, or Zhao Quan?

"Fourth brother, what now? Do you want to go back the way you came? Pi Eleven asked in a low voice.

Xie Sangun shook his head and said, "No, if you come, you will be safe, Pi Eleven, do you dare to find out the situation here with my brother and then go back?" ”

Xie Sangun, this kid was originally a bold person, and after three years of learning art with Lao Wang, he is now even more Yunwen and Yunwu, wise and brave, proficient in the art of war, and quite strategic and forward-looking.

Therefore, at this moment, seeing with his own eyes that a large number of Han people gathered here in Fengzhou River to grow food for the Tatars, this kid immediately realized that this was extremely unfavorable to the Ming Dynasty, so he planned to figure out the topography here, as well as the military deployment, etc., maybe the Japanese will be useful.

Pi 11 can become the gold medal scout of the Shenji Battalion, in addition to his skills, he is also a bold and careful person, and said with a smile: "What don't you dare, I'm afraid of a bird, it's a big deal that my head has fallen off the bowl and a big scar, and I'm a good man after eighteen years." ”

Xie Sangun patted Pi Shiyi's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, as long as the fourth brother still has a breath, he will definitely not let your kid lose his head." ”

Pi Shiyi grinned and whispered, "Fourth brother, since there are so many Han people here, we should not attract attention if we swagger down the hill, right?" ”

Xie Sanshu shook his head and said, "That being said, it's better to be careful, let's observe for a while, it's a big deal to wait until it gets dark before acting." ”

So, the two continued to hide in the grass and carefully observe with binoculars.

Obviously, Xie Sangun's caution was not superfluous at all, and at this moment they finally discovered that the Han people working under the hillside seemed to be free of movement, but in fact there were Tartars supervising the work in the distance, and as soon as they saw someone too far away from the group, some Tartars rode over to inquire about it, and some people were whipped for it.

"Damn, these dog-day Tartars dare to enslave us Han people, how can this be reasonable!" Pi Eleven roared angrily.

Xie Sangun shook his head and said, "Not really, Pi Shiyi, look at that side, the work enthusiasm of the Hermes-Epitek in the downstream area is obviously not as high as that of the Han-Min-Epitek in the upstream area, and the ones who tried to escape just now are all the Hermes-Epitek in the downstream area." ”

Pi Shiyi held the binoculars and observed for a while, and found that as Xie Sangun said, the Han people in the upstream area were not only active in their work, but also quite laughed and laughed during the period, and it did not seem to be forced, so he couldn't help but admire: "The fourth brother observed really carefully, so it is likely that those Han people in the downstream were taken captive, and the Han people in the upstream area voluntarily took refuge." ”

Xie Sangun nodded and said, "Eighty or nine is not far from ten, and the Hermes-Epitek who voluntarily takes refuge will definitely be treated more preferentially, so their enthusiasm is also high...... Hey, wait, look over there! ”

Pi Shiyi hurriedly raised the binoculars, looked in the direction pointed by Xie Sangun, and couldn't help but sigh softly: "This is...... Caravan? ”

At this time, on the grassland below the hillside, three horse-drawn carts were slowly moving towards this side from a distance, and the person in charge of driving the carts was obviously Hermes-Epitek, and the carts were full of pots and pans and other daily necessities.

As soon as the three carriages appeared, a dozen or so horsemen rushed over, circled the carriage a few times, chatted with the coachman and politely let it go, and the carriage continued to drive this way.

The three carriages gradually approached, and finally came to the bottom of the hillside, Xie Sangun, who was holding a telescope, changed his face and blurted out: "Grass, big guy!" ”

That's right, at this moment, the coachman sitting in the first carriage turned out to be the big guy Xu Jin, this cargo was driving the carriage, while shaking the wave drum used by the merchant, and the eyes were fascinated to the little daughter-in-law and eldest girl who worked in the fields, and saw that the good posture and good figure were very cheap.

Xie Sangun's face suddenly darkened, why did this bastard run to the territory of the Tartars, and it seemed that he was quite familiar with those Tartars.

Pi Shiyi asked strangely: "Does the fourth brother know this person?" ”

Xie Sangun said angrily with a stiff face: "Not only do you know, but you are still relatives, bastard, you are very fat, you went to the territory of Tartar to do business, I used to underestimate this guy, damn it!" ”()
