But suddenly Yu also knew that at this moment, the Tang Dynasty was swaying, the political situation was unstable, although they had made a threat to send troops, but they were afraid that they would really fight, and they would not give everything they had, just for a small Xishan.

Ke Yu suddenly took away his henchmen and generals, and went to Xishan with 100,000 elite soldiers of the tribe.

This was just a few days after his son's death, and his son's funeral had not yet been completed, and he didn't want to wait until Xishan had been controlled by the Tang army before sending troops, so he hurriedly led the army to set off without being fully prepared.

Although Xishan and the Khitan live next to each other, it still takes several days to really get to the border.

On this night, the sun set, and the Khitan army set up camp, buried the pot to make rice, and arranged a guard after dinner. The soldiers fell asleep on their own, including dozens of henchmen and generals.

As the night deepened, a bright moon gradually rose, and the bright light shone on the whole earth, and the military camp was bathed in moonlight, which looked particularly solemn.

A patrol of five patrolled around the barracks, vigilantly watching the prairie in the darkness for any danger that might approach, but they did not realize that the initial danger came from within.

It was not until the next morning that they discovered that one of the menacing men of the expedition had died in their tent.

But suddenly, when he got the news, he was shocked and angry, the enemy actually lurked into their barracks to assassinate his beloved general, if it was aimed at him, wouldn't it be his own corpse on the spot.

So he was suddenly furious, trampled on the ground, and strode to the lieutenant's tent.

As soon as he arrived, he smelled a thick, pungent smell of blood, which he had smelled before from the room where his son had been brutally murdered, a peculiar smell mixed with brains.

As soon as I smell it. But suddenly, his heart froze, he hesitated for a moment, and finally lowered his head and got into the big tent, and stood still after only two steps, staring blankly at the corpse of the deputy general lying there on the soft couch with his back facing the sky.

Most of the adjutant general's head was gone, like his son, and his brain was mixed with blood. Blankets were everywhere on the ground.

It didn't take any inspection to know that he was dead. But he was so angry that he turned around and went out of the tent, and called several of his own soldiers to ask them who had assassinated them, and these soldiers cowered and said that they had slept in their tents that night and did not know.

In fact, before entering the war zone, in order to preserve strength, the general practice of the army is that except for the patrolling soldiers, everyone else can sleep to maintain sufficient physical strength. The personal soldiers, including the adjutant general, also did not need to keep vigil.

But suddenly he knew this, but in a fit of anger, he didn't care about this, slammed his hand, and slapped these Qing soldiers to the ground.

Then he summoned the guards who had been on patrol last night and asked them if they had spotted the enemy infiltrating, and the patrolmen learned that their lieutenant had been killed in the barracks while they were vigilantly monitoring the entire barracks. Frightened, one or two were scattered, but knelt on the ground and pointed to the sky and cursed that they had been vigilant and patrolled last night and had not found anyone sneaking in.

can be suddenly under the wrath. When he heard this, he ordered the captain of each patrol to be pulled out and cut off, and his head hung on the gate as an example, and the rest of the patrol soldiers were each given 100 sticks.

When the screams of these soldiers reached Ke Yu's ears, he felt that this was indeed strange. He believed that the soldiers on patrol were not lying. It is true that no enemy troops were found. Moreover, his large tent was surrounded by overlapping tents in the middle of the entire barracks, and the sergeant patrols outside who were in charge of patrolling had strict military orders. They must be able to see each other at intervals on patrol, and they are heavily guarded.

And this general's martial arts are super strong, although it is not as strong as Ke Sudden, but it is not much different, this is where Ke Sudden's heart palpitations are felt, since the general can be secretly assassinated, cut off most of his head without any resistance and movement, then he is only slightly stronger than the general, and there is a very high possibility of ending up like this.

Before scolding the patrol soldiers, he did not suspect that the murderer came from within the army, because the soldiers around him were his henchmen, and most of the army were from his tribe, but after that, he felt that he might have made a mistake, he subconsciously thought that the enemy sent someone to assassinate him, and ignored the possibility that it was someone from inside.

As the saying goes, knowing people and knowing faces but not knowing hearts, even if they are people of the same tribe, they will also turn against the water, and they will also get a knife in the back.

When his anger gradually subsided, and when he finally thought of this, a sinister smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth. He decided to continue to observe quietly, and finally captured the murderer in one fell swoop. This murderer must be the one who killed his son, so that he could avenge his son at the same time.

Because he believed that this murderer would definitely do it again, and that was the best time to catch it in pieces, of course he would not let the other party be vigilant and stop doing it, so he did not strengthen his vigilance because of this incident, nor did he arrange a patrol in the barracks, it was still the same as before.

After setting up the camp, continue to move forward.

That night, it was the bright moon in the sky, but suddenly he was quietly lurking in the barracks, and he wanted to wait for the murderer to show up and capture him with his own hands.

The moonlight was like water this night, and there was nothing wrong with the quiet barracks that would wake up the others, and it passed in peace.

But the next day, in the big tent, the sleeping man was suddenly woken up again, and another right-hand man was also gouged out most of his head.

This time, Ke Tuyu didn't rush out like crazy like last time, but sat on the bed in a daze

For before that, he seemed to remember that he had lurked somewhere in the barracks outside the tent, waiting for the murderer to appear, but after the moon rose, he forgot what had happened. It wasn't until he was woken up from the bed that he found that he was lying in bed, and he couldn't remember how he came back from outside.

After being in a daze for a while, he finally came to the lieutenant's tent with heavy steps, and smelled the familiar pungent smell with the smell of brains, and opened the tent curtain to see that most of the general's head was missing, lying in a very miserable state.

This time, the captain of the patrol, knowing that they were afraid of death, knelt outside the tent, hanging their heads, waiting to behead them, but this time he suddenly did not kill them, but beat them with 100 sticks. This made these patrol captains grateful.

But suddenly after checking for a long time, he didn't find any results, so he ordered to continue and open the West Mountain.

That night, he was still encamped, but this time, Ke suddenly called a henchman to ambush him in the barracks with him, wanting to see what was going on.

But the next morning, when he was suddenly woken up by the soldiers who had come to report the bad news, he found himself lying on the bed of his big tent, and another confidant general had most of his head gouged out, and the general he had been guarding with him last night had also had most of his head gouged out.

What made Ke suddenly really incomprehensible was that he still couldn't remember how he returned to the big tent and continued to sleep.

In the next few days, Ke Yu suddenly went from calling one general to calling two, and finally to calling five or ten, accompanying him to squat together. But the next morning he would receive the bad news that some of the heads had been cut off, and none of the people who accompanied him were spared, and they died in the same way, most of their heads were gone, and their brains and blood were everywhere.

A terrifying legend began to circulate in the barracks that the ghosts had followed their army, because some soldiers saw a very strange and fast person who had been haunted and far away in the moonlight, and he didn't really know who it was, but that person's movements were extremely fast, and it was not at all possible for ordinary people to do it.

When they approached the border battlefield, they suddenly found that most of his henchmen had died tragically, and he didn't even know who the murderer was, whether he was a human or a ghost.

He was on the verge of madness, these were the loyal and dead soldiers he had cultivated for many years, the most powerful assistants for his future seizure of the throne of the Great Khan, without whom he would be alone.

And what made him even more crazy was that the pain in his stomach had reached the point where he could no longer bear it, from a cup of tea to a meal, to half an hour, and now the pain lasted for a whole hour.

In the middle of this hour, the pain made him scream like crazy, and he slammed his head against the ground, trying to relieve the pain in his stomach with another pain, and he even pulled out his golden knife to put his stomach aside to see what was going on. Fortunately, his own soldiers snatched his knife in time.

But after suddenly discovering that most of his henchmen were invisibly damaged, but he couldn't find the murderer, and his pain increased rapidly, and the duration increased rapidly, he knew that with such a state and such a deployment, if he wanted to face the same brave and good Xishan army, the odds of victory were not great, and maybe he would be defeated, which would be dangerous. Therefore, it was decided to urgently transfer troops back, of course, in order to avoid worries about future troubles, he also sent an envoy to tell the Xishan Khan, saying that this matter should not be rash, and asked him to send someone to negotiate between the two sides.

Subsequently, Ke Yu suddenly ordered the class to return to the court.

However, on the way back, his remaining henchmen still died miserably one by one. The severe pain in the stomach doubled day by day, until later, it has developed to the point of pain and coma for half a day before slowly waking up. The imperial doctor who accompanied the team tried his best but could not relieve his pain.

He ordered to rush back to the capital day and night. When their army returned to Raole Mansion and he returned to his palace, the pain was severe enough to make him unconscious for most of the day, and then he would gradually wake up. And after waking up, he understood what it meant to be dying. (To be continued.) )
