Liu Song Hanque

Chapter 528 The old enemy
One of the remaining three guards also collapsed on the side of the road, showing to Tuoba Tao his bloody feet covered with frostbite.

"After crossing Zhuo County, we will soon reach Ji County! The Song Army should not have reached there yet. As long as Your Majesty can go back, then I, Xianbei, will not be completely defeated."

The guard said intermittently with the remaining anger: "Your Majesty, we have been with you since you were the prince. The only mission given to us by the late emperor is to protect your majesty. I hope your majesty understands the painstaking efforts of the ministers."

Only then did Tuoba Tao's deadly eyes move towards the guard for a moment.

But it was only for this moment, and the next moment, Tuoba Tao's eyes moved elsewhere.

The only two people left came forward, closed his eyes, then skillfully pulled off his clothes and put them on, and finally dug a pit to bury him.

"gone."

After resting for a quarter of an hour, Tuoba Tao buried his numb footsteps and walked towards the north.

If they don't leave, Tuoba Tao and the other two will probably collapse here.

After walking for a while, the three of them could already see the city wall of Zhuo County from a distance.

This landmark undoubtedly lifted Tuoba Tao's spirit.

As long as you pass through Zhuo County, it will be under the control of the Wei army.

"I have to live."

Tuoba Tao pursed his chapped lips: "I must live!"

He can't die!

dead, what about the Northern Wei Dynasty?What about Xianbei?
Along the way, everyone used their own death to tell Tuoba Tao that he could not die.

If he died, the deaths of others would be meaningless.

So he has to live!

And live well!

Now as long as he passes through Zhuo County...he can live!
"A few people in front! Stop!"

Just when Tuoba Tao was about to cross the last threshold, dozens of Song Army cavalry rushed out from the gate of Zhuo County to surround Tuoba Tao and the three of them.

"You three! What are you doing?"

Tuoba Tao's mood at this moment has dropped to the bottom.

The prefectures and counties along the way are searched, but fixed checkpoints are set up on the road, and soldiers will not be sent to pursue them.

Obviously, in front of Zhuo County, the last gate, the Song Army's investigation was even more stringent.

"Master Jun! We are farmers in Lijiazhuang in the west, because the Suolu raided our village before and snatched all the food for the winter. Now we can only go to the east to join our uncle's house!"

While talking, Tuoba Tao gritted his teeth: "Those Solu are really nothing! Our whole village has been brought into trouble by them!"

"At that time, I was burning firewood with my wife to keep warm at home, but they suddenly broke in, dragged me out without any explanation, beat me up, and robbed my wife, and then even killed people for fun. There were not many people in the whole village. Can fall well!"

"Now that my home is gone and my food is gone, I have no choice but to seek refuge with my relatives. I hope all the military masters take pity on me and give me a way out!"

Naturally, Tuoba Tao would not sit still, and immediately made up a reason to fool him.

He is gambling!
The soldiers of the Song Army are basically people from the south of the river, and they probably don't know the situation in Hebei.

As long as the other party relaxes his vigilance, he will pass this last hurdle no matter what!

As for what Tuoba Tao said about the destruction of the village, it was also true.

Because the tragic situation in that village was caused by the soldiers under his command...

Seeing that Tuoba Tao and others were hungry and thin, and could speak fluent Chinese, the cavalry soldiers of the Song Army immediately relaxed their vigilance.

Xianbei has not yet been fully Sinicized at this time, and Xianbei is used for daily communication, so few people can speak fluent Chinese.Identifying the enemy and ourselves with language and accent has also become the norm for the Song army.

But Tuoba Tao was an accident.

Because he studied under Cui Hao, he speaks Chinese very well, and the just right Hebei accent made Song Jun have no doubts, and immediately wanted to let Tuoba Tao go.

Tuoba Tao thanked him again and again, but he was stopped by a Song Army corporal just after taking two steps.

The two guards on the left and right were shocked, and immediately grabbed the sharp blade hidden in their cuffs, wanting to fight Song Jun to the death.

"Give."

Surprisingly, Song Jun didn't stop Tuoba Tao when he found out that he was abnormal, but took three cotton coats from his horse and handed them to Tuoba Tao: "It's such a cold day, so you should be careful some."

"I often hear King Hejian say that your Hebei fellows are living a bad life. This is a little bit of kindness."

Then, the Song Army laughed loudly: "Don't worry! Your Majesty will definitely drive that Suolu out of Hebei this time. You don't have to worry about your house being destroyed by them, and your food will be taken away by them!"

"The troubled times are coming to an end!"

Tuoba Tao blankly held the three cotton coats in his hand, suddenly an indescribable feeling came to his heart.

"Let's go quickly, we let you go because we see you three are pitiful."

"Originally, according to General Chen's intention, no one will be allowed to cross the north of Zhuo County. But the three of you have no one to rely on, and you are waiting to die if you stay here."

After finishing speaking, the corporal leader turned his horse's head and left from Tuoba Tao and the others.

After Tuoba Tao heard Song Jun's words, he didn't care to continue savoring the pain in his heart, so he put on a cotton coat and left.

Just after Tuoba Tao left, Liu Yilong, who was stationed in Zhuo County, came to inspect the city wall as a routine.

Looking from afar, he saw the three people surrounded by Song Army cavalry at a glance.

Seeing that Song Jun didn't make any extra moves, Liu Yilong also thought it was the common people running around, until he saw a familiar figure among them...

"Go and call General Chen!"

Chen Xian also happened to be right in front of the city wall, and soon appeared by Liu Yilong's call.

I saw Liu Yilong pointing to the three people walking away from the city and asked: "General Chen, is Gu's eyes dazzled? Why does that man look so much like Tuoba Tao?"

"You fought against Tuoba Tao, come here and see if it's him!"

When Chen Xian heard the word "Tuobatao", he also craned his neck to look at it.

With just one glance, Chen Xian was sure that the person who ran all the way and dressed as a commoner was Tuoba Tao who almost drove him to death!

"The whole army is assembled!!!"

After receiving the affirmation, Liu Yilong ran down the city wall without any extra reaction.

"Whoever has a horse rides with Gu Chase! If he doesn't have a horse, he runs with Gu Chase!"

"Tuoba Tao, right in front!"

Without waiting for the others to react, Liu Yilong chased him out of the city alone, galloping his horse in the direction of Tuoba Tao.

The movement in Zhuo County naturally aroused the vigilance of Tuoba Tao and others.

But it was discovered that the legs were no match for the four hooves.

Tuoba Tao watched helplessly that a Song general riding a tall horse was getting closer and closer to him, and after a closer look, he found that it was the man who was following Liu Yizhen that day.

"Tuoba Tao! The king of Hejian, Liu Yilong, is here! He's captured before he can do anything!"

Liu Yilong...

Tuoba Tao felt a throbbing in his heart after hearing this name.

It was him!
