A moment later, Li Qing'an and Li Sheng rushed to the outside of the southern city with hundreds of cavalry, which was the temporary residence designated by the Tang army. The time limit has passed. Hundreds of families have left the city, and every household has their own tents. They have brought all the valuable things and cattle and sheep in their homes. Everyone is busy building tents and packing things. Not far away, a team of cavalry is monitoring them.

Tao Yi went to the tent, and soon, he brought three or four merchants over, and his personal soldiers brought them to Li Qing'an. At this time, they knew what they were going to ask them.

Tao Yixian told Li Qing'an: "These three are the three largest salt tea businesses in the city, and their inventory has been bought out."

The three merchants were all Turkic. They knelt down and kowtowed, "Caomins meet your highness!"

Li Qingan smiled and said to them in Turkic words: "The Tang army never hurts civilians, nor does it rob merchants. Don't worry, I want to ask you now, who bought all your inventory, where did they go? When did it happen?"

The three Turkic people were surprised to hear that Li Qing'an could speak fluent Turkic language. One of the elderly businessmen replied: "Report to your highness, the incident happened the night before yesterday. There were more than 20 great men, very smart and capable. We decided afterwards. They bought 10,000 dan of tea and more than 1,000 stone salt. We delivered the goods outside the city and found that they actually had hundreds of people and more than 200 carriages."

More than 200 carriages should be unfast and able to catch up with them. Li Qingan asked again: "Did they say where to go?"

"They refused to say it, but one of my guys heard one of them complaining, saying that Nozhenshui City was so far away, how could it be possible to arrive in three days?"

Nuozhen Water City is located in the northern foot of Yinshan Mountain, which is the most critical clue. Li Qingan immediately turned around and said to Li Sheng: "The carriage convoy that transported tea and salt went to Nuozhen Water City. There should be the gathering place for Shi Siming's army. Time is tight, so we must set off immediately!"

An hour later, Li Qing'an and Li Sheng led 100,000 cavalry to the north, and Sima Xin Yunjing led 50,000 people to stay in Heicheng.

Lei Wanchun led three thousand cavalry as vanguards, each of them was equipped with two horses. Li Qing'an ordered them to catch up with the cavalry carriage that transported salt tea within a day and a night. The three thousand cavalry ran like lightning on the vast grassland, but the grassland was too vast. It was not easy to find the whereabouts of the cavalry carriage. Lei Wanchun sent ten scouts to search separately.

The next morning, a team finally found the traces of the carriage. Lei Wanchun immediately led his army over. Next to a small river, they saw a clear wheel mark. Judging from the wheel mark, it should be loaded with heavy objects, and there were a large number, as well as a lot of horse feces.

A scout came forward to report: "General, horse manure is very fresh, at most more than an hour apart."

For more than an hour, the carriage was fifty miles ahead. Lei Wanchun immediately ordered, "Set off! Chase the carriage within an hour."

Three thousand cavalrymen urged their horses to chase after them. At noon, a scout came to report and found a row of small black dots more than twenty miles away.

Lei Wanchun waved his hand and stopped the army. He said to a Lang general beside him: "Tell a thousand brothers to go around first, block them, and no one is allowed to escape!"

General Lang ordered a thousand cavalry to head northwest. Lei Wanchun was not in a hurry. About half an hour later, he estimated that the army had gone by, so he ordered, "The whole army pursued, no one was allowed to escape!"
