Runaway Mengfei is not easy to mess with

Chapter 456
The rebels of the Yuan family had been stipulated in advance that they were not allowed to leave Taocheng within ten miles. They were afraid of being tricked by the Chu Banner Army, so they returned to the gate of the city as soon as they passed this limit.

Then, the Chu Banner Army came over the city again.

This repetition made the rebels of the Yuan family a little angry. After all, the Yuanli on the city wall had a higher IQ, and I always felt that something was wrong.Is this Chu Tianmu really at the end of his rope or is he playing some kind of trick?
Why do you feel like you're dragging your time?

Yuanli is considering whether to send another team of cavalry. Each cavalry will carry a disaster relief army, and then rush to Chu Tianmu's infantry group. It can hold back the Chu Banner Army, but at the same time it will also damage a team of cavalry. There is no return, this is a bad move that wounds eight thousand soldiers and self-defeating ten thousand, and the rest are the excellent dead subordinates of the Yuan family, it is a last resort, Yuan Li does not want to use it.

Suddenly, a messenger soldier in the city came to report in a panic.

"Master, it's not good. The old and weak victims of the disaster broke out without knowing what happened. Now the old and weak victims took advantage of our army and slack management, killed the guards on duty, and now they all ran away... "

"These people are looking for a dead end, so let's send them to the west. Send troops to find them separately. If they find them, they will be killed immediately. There is no need to capture them back. They will return the grain to my Yuan family's military province." Yuan Li flashed past fiercely.

The messenger soldier's face turned pale, "Master, we have already sent troops to look for them. It seems that these people were hidden by someone's organized rescue, and none of them were found!"

A guard next to Yuanli shouted, "Stupid thing, the general is directing the battle now, is there any need to bother the general with such a trivial matter? Taocheng is sealed like a sealed jar, and these old and weak victims don't eat for a day I can't take it anymore, I will come out naturally or find a way to get out of the city when the time comes, just guard the north gate, it's just holding back, there's nothing to make a fuss about, let's retreat quickly!"

The messenger soldier got the letter and withdrew.

"I heard that a few days ago, a small general guarding the north gate disappeared inexplicably. What's going on?" Seeing that the messenger soldiers had retreated, Yuanli suddenly thought of something and asked the guards beside him.

One of them replied, "Yes, that man's name is Wen San'er, he was from Taocheng, he had some skills, and he only joined our Yuan army in the past few months. He didn't disappear, but died. into a well in the house of a woman he befriended."

"Is that the one who took Yuan's army to ransack several wealthy households, and all the supplies were used as military funds?" Yuanli had been relying on the food and grass provided by King Nanhuai, which was somewhat insufficient. Secretly reaching out to local rich households to fill their pockets.

"It's him! When the sergeant found his body, it was already swollen from soaking in the well, and the family disappeared, as if they were hiding. They have been offering rewards for the past few days, but no one was caught. "

"Tao City is so big, is there someone covering up that family? The notice added the crime of covering up, is the crime the same as a murderer?"

"Additionally, I captured a few house slaves from the murderer's family who were condemned to be scattered. They all said they didn't know where the masters were going. Some people speculated that they had already left Taocheng..."

This is even more strange. Taocheng is now restricted in and out, and there is no special official document. No one can leave the city. How could they leave Taocheng under their noses?

Yuanli and the guards suddenly thought of something...
