I was engaged in infrastructure construction in the Han Dynasty [Transmigration Book]

Liu Tan hurriedly put all these things aside, compared to Wushilu, they can be put aside.

He asked: "Wu Shilu? Where is it?"

"Dunhuang!"

Liu Tan frowned: "Dunhuang? What did he go to Dunhuang for?"

Shanggu County is more than 2000 kilometers away from Dunhuang. He calculated that according to the speed of the fastest horse, it would take nearly a month without changing horses.

And the so-called [-]-mile rush is generally to change horses without changing people, so as to achieve that speed.

But looking at it this way, it seems that the time is not right. In any case, Wushilu can't reach Dunhuang County now, even if it is the shortest straight-line distance.

However, in fact, it is impossible to walk a straight-line distance at all.

Liu Tan pondered for a while and suddenly asked, "Did the Huns captured by Mo's disciples have no horses?"

Wei Buyi was taken aback and immediately understood: "Your Highness is saying that their horses were given to Wushilu, and that's why they were captured by Mo's disciples?"

Liu Tan said: "This is the only explanation, otherwise there is no way to explain Wushilu's speed, forget about it, since I saw Wushilu's figure, immediately put Dunhuang on wartime alert, and send an elite group to capture Wushilu Shilu!"

After Wei Buyi heard this, he immediately went down to make arrangements. Liu Tan was once again thankful that he didn't send the troops to station in advance for the convenience of marching. Otherwise, Wu Shilu would definitely notice something when he got there, and by then...he would sneak attack!

After Dunhuang received the instructions from the capital, the situation suddenly became jittery, and even the city of Dacheng began to strictly enter and exit, in order to search for Wushilu.

But even so, it was too difficult. Dunhuang, as the gateway to the Western Regions and the Huns, had already exceeded the standard for foreign people.

Most people don't know what Wushilu looks like, as long as he hides himself among those foreign people, who can find him?

The only thing we can do is to prevent him from sneak attacking, but unless Wushilu is crazy, he will sneak attack a county with a few people.

So here comes the question, Wushilu brought people into the customs just to run around like this?What is his purpose?

Huo Guang said, "Could it be... surveying the terrain?"

Liu Tan sneered: "Is it his turn to survey the terrain of the northern border country? What's more, what's so good about our terrain?"

Most of the terrain in the northern border country is plain or desert Gobi. To be honest, the Huns are much more familiar with this environment than they are.

What's more, Wushilu can at most rely on their brains to remember these things. They don't have words and naturally they don't have a carrier that can describe maps.

Just when Liu Tan was wondering, Wei Buyi rushed over with a look of eating a fly and said, "Your Highness, someone left a letter at the gate of Tingwei Mansion last night, saying it was for you."

Liu Tan raised his chin: "What did you write?"

Wei Buyi hesitated for a moment, and directly unfolded the piece of paper, on which were crookedly written a few large characters: Don't be nervous, I just want to see Tongda City.

Then there is a row of smaller characters below: Newly learned Chinese characters, is it okay to write?

The inscription is Wushilu.

Liu Tan's face was turning green at the time, crazy, what is this?

Running more than 2000 kilometers to attack Shanggu County can be regarded as because the border defense of the northern border country is too tight, so they can only go to looting places that are not so tight, but they did everything possible to bring people from Shanggu County into the customs and ran for more than 2000 kilometers. Just to see Tongda City, isn't this sick? What is this?

"Did you catch the messenger?" Seeing Liu Tan's face change, Huo Guang asked quickly.

Wei Buyi shook his head: "No, a team of Marquis Wu who was patrolling yesterday was knocked out."

Liu Tan was about to be pissed like a puffer fish: "It's really good, let a few people run amok throughout the northern border country, and even deliver the letter to me, what are you doing?"

Liu Tan wanted to lift the table while talking, but he lifted it... Made of pure jade, it was too heavy, so he didn't lift it, so he was even angrier.

Wei Buyi knelt down on one knee and pleaded guilty, "It's my incompetence."

Huo Guang's face was as cold as jade: "I can't blame them for this matter. There are only a few people. The target is too small like looking for a needle in a haystack. Wushilu is always cunning, but I don't know why he went to Tongda City? Is there anything in Tongda City that deserves his attention?"

Liu Tan can't wait to block Tongda City altogether. Since he's here, let him take a good look at the excitement and don't leave!

It's a pity that it can't, the most important thing now is to try to hide it as much as possible, or else people will know that the Xiongnu Shanyu has straddled the entire northern border country, and they haven't caught it. Where will Liu Tan save his face?

Of course, the most important thing is to be afraid of people’s panic. Before crossing over, Liu Tan simply scoffed at the idea of ​​maintaining stability. He felt that the people have the right to know the truth and have the right to choose. Everyone makes a choice.

Only now did he understand the importance of maintaining stability.

This is because Liu Tan is not afraid of Chang An's blame at all. Anyway, even if his father and brother know about it, they will stop those who want to blame him.

But if you change someone, you have to worry about this matter.

Liu Tan sighed deeply, stretched out his hands to support the table and said, "I am under martial law around Tongda City. I don't care how many people there are, even if it is Blank Gobi, I will send people to guard it!"

Tongda City can't be blocked directly, but he can strictly enter and exit, isn't it just to send more people?

Just when Liu Tan was angry, there was another news from the Western Regions. Lu Xuan knew that Wushilu had arrived in the northern border country and sent troops ahead of time!

Liu Tan was surprised: "What is he in such a hurry for? I haven't finished preparing the things for him yet!"

Huo Guang was silent for a while before he said: "He is forcing Wu Shilu to go back."

Of course, this is not only the purpose of Lu Xuan. Wu Shilu is not here, and the Xiongnu without a leader is always easy to bully, so either Wu Shilu can’t go back, Lu Xuan can relax, or Wu Shilu hastened to give up his northern border country. plot, go back to preside over the overall situation.

Liu Tan said angrily: "He has come and let him go back? So what if he can't be caught? Keep him in the pass, sooner or later he will show his whereabouts, guard the long moat, can he grow wings and fly over? "

After he finished speaking, he looked up at Wei Buyi and said: "Go to Tongda City to watch the caravans and travelers who have stayed for a long time recently, and find a way to leave him in Tongda City as soon as possible, and at the same time gather the army to prepare for the Cheshi Kingdom."

Haste is a bit hasty, but things like war are always changing, and it is impossible to be perfectly prepared. Although it is not perfect now, it is okay, not to mention that the weather is not too cold now, and woolen clothes are also used. No, it doesn't matter if the war lasts until winter. By that time, the woolen clothes should also be made and sent over.

At least they did their calculations mentally and unintentionally. Che Shiguo might not have expected that the Northern Congress would suddenly attack them.

And on the second day after Liu Tan gave the order, Wei Buyi found Wushilu.
