The discovery of Xiongnu traces in the border counties, even if they were just corpses, was not to be taken lightly. The news was reported to Yunzhong City, and the governor of Wei personally ordered Liam Wei to lead the troops to search, making sure not to miss any clues.
The border troops conducted a carpet search, turning over the knee-deep snow within a five-mile radius, and found more than 40 bodies one after another. Most of them had been torn apart by wild beasts and were incomplete.
The noise was so loud that the small animals in the snow were startled. More than a dozen hares and mice jumped out, attracting wild wolves and foxes lingering nearby. Several border soldiers walked too scattered and were nearly attacked by wolves.
"Sir, that's all."
After turning over all the bodies under the snow and making sure that there would be no more discoveries, Wei Wu led his men to pile up the bodies and asked Liam Wei for instructions to recall the troops that had gone far away.
