There are many wars in Liaozhou, and there are hundreds of thousands of local soldiers in Liaozhou.
In addition to the troops stationed in various cities and towns, there were tens of thousands of people scattered in Liaozhou, chasing and intercepting the grassland people heading south.
Although these tribes were asked by the people of the Kelie tribe to cause as many casualties as possible to Liaozhou when entering Liaozhou, these small tribes were not stupid. The largest number of them was only a few thousand.
Most of them are cavalry, and there is absolutely nothing they can do against the strong cities in Liaozhou.
They could only avoid those cities.
Although there are some tribes here that have plundered the villages and towns in Liaozhou, there are still some tribes that only rob, not kill, and are just waiting for the time in Liaozhou to be up, so they can save their strength and return to the grassland.
But the people of Liaozhou, after seeing these tribes bypassing the city and crossing all the way south, thought that these were soldiers deliberately sent by the grassland people to die.
Let the tribesmen and horses like them get familiar with the environment of Liaozhou in advance and bring back the topography and landform mapping.
Many people also rumored that this was an experiment by the grassland people, who wanted to gather a large army and go all the way south to directly conquer Xiazhou.
There are various opinions.
As a result, various tribes were running around like headless flies, and Liaozhou's troops surrounded them everywhere.
Zhang Bao and the others also encountered several battles along the way.
But this kind of battle is usually fought while running away, and the battlefield is very large. It would be difficult for Zhang Bao and others to participate if they wanted to.
"Sir, we found a camp of Liaozhou people ahead. The camp is not big. It seems to be an outpost, with only a few dozen people."
"Should we go around or go straight through?"
A scout came over and asked.
"Let's find a way around it. It's better to keep our whereabouts hidden."
Zhang Bao said to the scout.
"Yes, sir!"
"It's just that we saw that the people in the camp seemed to have captured a few prairie people. When we were investigating, we heard them mention the name of the Sky Eagle Tribe."
said the scout.
"Um?"
"Is it the old branch of the Sky Eagle Tribe?"
"If there are only a few dozen people, it's not that difficult to handle. Fang Fu, you can lead a team of people over there and try to divert those people away and rescue those few prairie people."
Zhang Bao said to Fang Fu.
Their main purpose in entering Liaozhou this time was to preserve the old Tianying tribe as much as possible.
After a while.
Fang Fu turned back with a group of people, carrying an old man wearing prairie clothes on the horse's back.
There weren't many people in Liaozhou's outpost, but Fang Fu and the others were so fast that they brought the people back with just one lead, one hit, and one throw.
"Sir, the other two prairie men have been killed, and only this one remains."
"We just brought it back directly."
Fang Fu threw the man off the horse.
When the man fell, the robe he was wearing also fell off, scattering herbs all over the ground.
"Um?"
"Are you the doctor of the grassland tribe?"
"Are they from the Sky Eagle Tribe before?"
Zhang Bao stepped forward and asked.
"My lord, I am from Daxia, not a barbarian. Whether you believe it or not, it all depends on me."
The old man bent down to pick up the herbs scattered on the ground, and said to Zhang Bao calmly.
"People from Daxia?"
Zhang Bao looked at this skinny old man, and it seemed that his temperament was indeed different from that of the barbarians on the grassland.
"Then why are you wearing barbarian clothes?"
"And, are you still with the prairie people?"
Zhang Bao asked the man while helping to pack the herbs.
The man was stunned and looked at Zhang Bao in disbelief.
After a while, Zhang Bao packed up a handful of herbs and was about to put them into his robe, when the old man realized what he was doing and quickly opened the robe.
"grown ups……"
"you……"
The old man was very surprised.
"You haven't answered my two questions yet, give him a horse and get out of here as soon as possible!"
Zhang Bao said slowly and got on his horse.
The old man looked confused and was helped onto a horse by Fang Fu, who followed beside Zhang Bao.
"Sir, I was the imperial doctor of Daxia before. Because I committed a crime, I was sent to Liaozhou to work hard. However, I was kidnapped by the grassland people on the way. Because I know medical skills, I was kept by the grassland people."
"As for the Sky Eagle Tribe, after I was taken to the grassland, I received the care of the Sky Eagle Tribe, so I didn't end up as a prisoner."
"This time I went south with the tribe. It was because the leader of the tribe was seriously ill and I had to take him with me as a last resort, so I appeared here."
"Just now, I was questioned in the military camp as being the work of barbarians. It's very offensive. I hope you will forgive me."
The old man raised his hands and said to Zhang Bao.
"Royal doctor?"
Zhang Bao looked at the old man in front of him in astonishment.
"What crime have you committed?"
"When did it happen?"
Zhang Bao asked in surprise.
"This...it's hard to put into words. Counting it now, it's been more than ten years..."
The old man said with a sigh on his face.
"More than ten years?"
Zhang Bao was a little shocked.
"Yes, my surname is Luo Mingmu. May I ask how you call me?"
Fang Mu asked Zhang Bao with his hands raised.
"Hezhou, Zhang Bao."
"Uncle Luo, you just said that there is a group of prairie troops, and you are the only ones left?"
Zhang Bao asked.
"Don't dare to take it, don't dare to take it..."
"I feel ashamed to say it. I came out to look for herbs. When I went back, I happened to be seen by those military masters. The tribesmen were in a canyon nearby."
"Sir, our tribe is all good people. Since arriving in Hezhou, they have not invaded the people, but have been hiding in the canyon."
"It's just that I ran out of money recently and had no choice but to come up with other solutions."
When Luo Mu heard that Zhang Bao wanted to inquire about the people of their grassland tribe, he thought he was going to take action against their tribe. He was a little annoyed that he had accidentally let it slip just now.
"Don't worry, if we take action, we won't save you."
"If they are the old members of the Sky Eagle Tribe, I have something I want to talk to them about. Uncle Luo, I would like to ask you to lead the way."
Zhang Bao said to Luo Mu.
"Then... Sir, you have to promise not to do anything to them."
Luo Mu looked hesitant, but looking at Zhang Bao and the others, there was nothing he could do.
Wu Dayong on the side curled his lips.
Is this old man believed so easily?
If these were the people from Liaozhou just now, if they didn't rush in like that when they came up, wouldn't they be able to find those tribesmen just by fooling them?
