Chapter 829

The sky is vast and the wilderness is vast. The wind blows the grass and sees cattle and sheep. At this moment, there are groups of cattle and sheep under Xie Sanqian and Pi Shiyi's noses, and there are many people harvesting wheat.

The hiding place of Xie Sanqin and Pi Shiyi was a meadow on a hillside, surrounded by half a person-high grass, and there were many lush trees that could hide the figures of the two. Both of them had their saddles removed and were leisurely chewing on the plump and juicy tender grass in the distance. The most in short supply on the grassland were cattle, horses, and sheep. Two horses without saddles were eating grass on the hillside, which would not attract special attention.

Looking down from the hiding place of Xie Sanqin and Pi Shiyi, you can see a clear river that winds through the plain covered with water plants like a jade belt. Cattle and sheep are everywhere. Thousands of people are busy in the wheat fields by the river, harvesting the already golden wheat.

"Didn't the Tartars not know how to farm? They have planted so many wheat, and they are probably hundreds of hectares. How much food does his grandmother have to make in one crop!" Pi Shiyi whispered.

Xie Sanqiang moved the monocular lens in his hand and shook his head and said, "It's not Tak, it's Hanmin."

Pi Shiyi also raised his telescope and observed for a while, nodded and said, "Yes, most of them are Han people. His grandmother must be the Ming people who were kidnapped by the Tartars."

Xie Sanqian's heart moved and whispered: "Pi Shiyi, do you think this is Fengzhou Chuan? It is said that the remnant of Bailian Zhao Quan defected to Altan of the Tatars and built Bansheng City in Fengzhou Chuan to beautify the border people to go out to surrender to the frontier and produce food for the Tatars."

Pi Shiyi's eyes lit up and said, "Fourth Brother, it's really possible that this is Fengzhouchuan."

Speaking of which, Xie Sanqiang and Pi Shiyi followed the horse thief who came down from Heitai Mountain that day, but it became dark on the way, which caused great inconvenience to track it. In the end, the two had to wait until dawn to continue tracking. After chasing, they came to this place.

There are herds of cattle and sheep in this place, and the traces of people are messy. Xie Sanqian and Pi Shiyi naturally cannot track them anymore. They are worried about encountering Tartars, so they have to hide on this hillside to observe the situation before making a decision.

What Xie Sanqin and Pi Shiyi really guessed correctly was that this was indeed Fengzhou River. The river under the hillside was Xiaohei River, and Zhao Quan's Bansheng City was only a few miles away.

Xie Sanqin frowned. If this was Fengzhouchuan, and what did the horse thief from Heitaishan come here for? Does it mean that Heitaishan has colluded with the Tartars or Zhao Quan?

"Fourth brother, what should I do now? Will I return the same way?" Pi Shiyi asked in a low voice.

Xie Sanqian shook his head and said, "No, since he came, he would be at ease. Pi Shiyi, do you dare to find out the situation here with me before going back?"

Xie Sanqin is a bold guy. After learning the arts with Lao Wang for three years, he is now even more civil and military, wise and brave, proficient in military tactics, and has a strategic vision and forward-looking consciousness.

Therefore, at this moment, seeing a large number of Han people gathered in Fengzhou Sichuan to grow food for the Tatars, the boy immediately realized that this was extremely unfavorable to the Ming Dynasty, so he planned to clarify the terrain and landforms here, as well as military defense, and perhaps it would be useful in Japan.

Pi Shiyi was able to become the gold medal scout of the Shenji Camp. In addition to being very skilled, he was also a brave and meticulous person. He smiled and said, "What's the point of being afraid of? I'm afraid of a bird. At worst, I'll lose my head with a big scar. I'll be another hero in 18 years."

Xie Sanqiang patted Pi Shiyi on the shoulder and laughed: "Don't worry, as long as the fourth brother is still there, he will never let you lose your head."

Pi Shiyi grinned and whispered: "Fourth brother, since there are so many Han people here, we should not attract attention, right?"

Xie Sanqian shook his head and said, "Although that's the case, it's better to be careful. Let's observe for a while. At worst, we can wait until it gets dark before taking action."

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

It was obvious that Xie Sanqian's carefulness was not redundant at all. At this moment, they finally discovered that the Han people working under the hillside seemed to be free to move, but in fact, there were Tartars supervising workers in the distance. As long as they saw someone leaving the group too far, Tartars immediately came over to ask, and some were even beaten for this.

"Damn it, these damn Tartars are enslaving us Han people, which is outrageous!" Pi Shiyi growled angrily.

Xie Sanqian shook his head and said, "It's not entirely true. Pi Shiyi, look there. The work enthusiasm of the Han people located in the downstream is obviously not as high as that of the Han people in the upstream. The Han people who just tried to escape were all the Han people in the downstream."

Pi Shiyi held up the telescope and observed for a while, and found that as Xie Sanliang said, the Han people in the upper reaches not only worked actively, but also talked and laughed here, and they did not seem to be forced. He couldn't help but admire him: "The Fourth Brother observed it very carefully. In this way, the Han people in the lower reaches may have been robbed, while the Han people in the upper reaches voluntarily surrendered."

Xie Sanliang nodded and said, "It's almost impossible to get along with the people who voluntarily surrender. The Han people who voluntarily surrender will definitely be more preferential, so they are also highly motivated... Hey, wait, look over there!"

Pi Shiyi quickly raised his telescope and looked in the direction that Xie Sanliang pointed, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Is this... a caravan?"

At this time, on the grassland under the hillside, three carriages were slowly coming here from a distance. The person in charge of chasing the car was obviously a Hanmin, and the carriage was loaded with pots, pans and other daily necessities.

As soon as these three carriages appeared, more than a dozen riders rushed over, circled around the carriage for a few times, chatted with the coachman and let it go politely, and the carriage continued to drive here.

The three carriages gradually approached and finally arrived at the bottom of the hillside. Xie Sanliang, who was holding a telescope, changed his expression and blurted out: "Cao, Da Ya!"

That's right, the driver sitting in the first carriage was actually Xu Jin, who was driving the carriage and shaking the peddler's swaying waves with his eyes lustful eyes and lingered at the young wife working in the field. Seeing that he was beautiful and beautiful, he even teased him a few words with a very humble mouth.

Xie Sanqiang's face suddenly turned dark. How did this bastard, Da Ya, come to the territory of the Tartars? It seems that he is quite familiar with those Tartars.

Pi Shiyi asked strangely: "The fourth brother knows this person?"
