Chapter 111 - Return

He Lian is a straight-headed man, and he has never been able to play tricks, and it is not surprising that Chen Shouke's army will oppose General Chu Xiangtian.

Ignoring this topic, Chu Xiangtian asked: "How many people are there in Chen Shouke?"

"Nearly three hundred people."

"Have you found the spies in the city?"

He Lian nodded, "There are already suspects."

Chu Xiangtian tapped his fingers on his knees, "Grab them all, as well as your hands, please check them carefully."

The water that was surrounded by the County Shou Mansion couldn't escape, and Chen Shouke was able to deliver letters outside and arrange for someone to rob Helian's messenger, which must be the work of an inner ghost.

He Lian is not stupid, knowing that he has been calculated. If Chu Xiangtian hadn't come in person this time, his hat of rebellion wouldn't be so easy to take off.

The two exchanged news, and then He Lian went back to find the spy. Chu Xiang Tianming followed him into the city. After nightfall, he quietly left the city and led people to surround Zhenwu County from the outside. .

If He Lian starts to act, Chen Shouke and his men will not want to die, so they must fight back and flee. Now that there is no evidence of his collaborating with the enemy and treason, the best way is to force him to escape from Zhenwu County and wait for him to meet with foreigners. People got both stolen goods.

On the day of entering the city, Chu Xiangtian took people to the county guard's house. Chen Shouke looked like he was tortured and weeping bitterly. He condemned He Tongen enemy's traitorous wolf ambition, so he must prevent the truth from being investigated and return him to the county guard. The man was innocent, Chu Xiangtian dealt with a few words perfunctorily, and then took the people away.

"My lord? We have to wait?" the subordinates beside him respectfully asked.

Chen Shouke's face was gloomy, "Wait, you go contact that person and leave tonight."

He had never expected that the person who would come would be Chu Xiangtian. Even if he had never dealt with him, he had also heard of Chu Xiangtian's name for killing gods. Let Chu Xiangtian come, indicating that the court did not believe him at all.

If they don't leave, they won't be able to leave until they find evidence.

It was night, under the escort of his subordinates, Chen Shouke quietly left from the side door of the county guard house, knocked three times on the side door, one long and two short. The guards outside knew about it and found a reason to lead his companions away. Then the side door was opened. Chen Shouke hides into the night with his guards.

Chu Xiangtian led people in ambush on the only way through Xisai Pass. Going further here is Xisai Pass, which is the guarded place of the Zhenbei Army. Passing this pass, you can enter the foreign territory.

Chen Shouke fled and completely exposed his identity. He would definitely not be able to stay in Da Chu again. To save his life, he could only find a way to escape through Xisaiguan and return to foreigners.

After guarding the third watch, the sound of Xisuo Suo faintly heard in the dark night, everyone's spirits refreshed, Chu Xiangtian made a gesture, and everyone hid deeper.

Chen Shouke was nearly forty years old. He was in the prime of life. With the addition of martial arts, he was in good health. After escaping from the prefecture, he did not dare to make noise on horseback, so he abandoned the heavy objects and only brought a small amount of gold and silver. The men ran all the way to here.

The two confidants who followed him looked around for a while and nodded to him. Then Chen Shouke relaxed a little, opening his mouth and let out a sound of birdsong.

The birdsong in the wild in autumn is not very eye-catching. After a while, a few black shadows jumped down from the distant mountain and rushed to Chen Shouke. With the extremely faint moonlight, the visitors could vaguely see the high noses and deep eyes of the visitors, who looked like a foreigner. .

"grown ups,"

Chen Shouke waved his hand and was about to leave with them.

Chu Xiangtian's eyes were gloomy, and with a light wave of his hand, more than a dozen figures jumped out from where they were hiding, surrounding a few people.

"Deeply revealing, where is Master Chen going?" Chu Xiangtian slowly appeared, his voice sounding like a smile.

Chen Shouke's heart sank, and he looked around, knowing that they had doubts, and it would be useless to say more, and gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "Kill out."

The black shadow drew a scimitar from behind, and the two men and horses fought together immediately. Chu Xiangtian did not join in, and they observed the situation together.

There were a lot of them, four foreign warriors plus three Chen Shouke, but they fell short of support for a while. Chu Xiangtian saw the timing, narrowed his eyes, and joined the battle, quickly subduing Chen Shouke.

Catch the thieves first and capture the king. Chen Shouke seems to have a high status among the foreigners. After he was captured, the foreign warriors tried to counterattack and rescue them, but were soon subdued.

With a neat action, Chen Shouke's hand muscles and hamstrings were broken, and his chin was removed. Chu Xiangtian threw the unsteady person to his subordinates, and said sharply: "Take it back for trial."

Several people rushed back to the city. He Lian happened to clear out the spies from the general. Chen Shouke had served as the county guard for many years, and he had always been a helper relationship with the Zhenbei Army. This gave Chen Shouke the opportunity to buy the Zhenbei Army.

The three spies were tied up in the hall by Wuhua. The person who was trying to defend saw Chen Shouke who was taken in, and he was immediately strangled with his throat, and he couldn't say a word of excuse for mercy.

Chu Xiangtian said, "These people will be handed over to me for trial. Chen Shouke's status among foreigners is not low. You should go to Xisaiguan to prevent foreigners from having trouble."

He Lian quickly figured out the key points and threw the people to Chu Xiangtian, who rushed to Xisaiguan with people overnight.

If Chen Shouke's status is not low, foreigners are likely to invade Xisaiguan in order to rescue him. If he rushes to Xisaiguan, foreigners can lie in ambush in the city and take the opportunity to save people-there must be foreign spies in the city.

Chen Shouke sneered, slurred and said: "My people will come to rescue me."

"If you don't want Xisaiguan to fall, it's better to let me go back."

Chu Xiangtian glanced at him in disgust, his riding boots stepped on his face, his expression gloomy as Shura. Chen Shouke looks like a Chu, and one of his parents must be from Da Chu, but he claims to be a foreigner. After using the Han's appearance to gain trust, he helped the foreigners invade the land of Da Chu.

Chu Xiangtian leaned over slightly, his eyes falling on his face like a knife, "Just rely on the trash? I will leave you alive and let you see how those trash plead for mercy under my feet."

"Take them all, trial!"

Chen Shouke, who was limp on the ground, was also dragged down for interrogation. Chu Xiangtian sat in the hall and waited for the result.

The first to confess was the three traitors of the Zhenbei Army. They were the young men who were bought by Chen Shouke with gold and silver. They didn't know much; then there were four foreign warriors who could bear more than the Zhenbei Army traitors. Chu Xiangtian looked at the confession sent by his subordinates and raised his brows.

Unexpectedly, Chen Shouke was still a person.

His biological mother was Da Chu Geji, who was bought by a merchant, and was taken away by foreigners when he went to trade with the caravan. The singer was beautiful, able to sing and dance and worked hard, and was soon dedicated to the leader of the foreign race. The leader gave birth to a son. It is Chen Shouke. His foreign name is Mulragul, the third son of the leader.

The foreign leader has a total of seven sons. He himself is over 60 years old. Although his body is healthy, several of his sons fought fiercely. Because of the appearance of the Chu people and their blood, Chen Shouke did not speak well in foreigners, but his mother was quite In order to be favored, there are also a group of diehards who have been in business for many years. That's why he took the risk and entered Da Chu under the alias of Chen Shouke, and climbed all the way to the position of the county guard, with the intention of taking Zhenwu county unconsciously.

After he gained a foothold in Zhenwu County, he began his own plan. He originally wanted to gradually encroach on Zhenwu County, but unexpectedly he was accidentally smashed by He Lian, so he had to act in advance.

Chu Xiangtian raised his brows slightly, and a bloodthirsty smile appeared on his mouth, "Very well, leave Chen Shouke for his life. After I have asked him, I will take him to Xisaiguan and kill all his people."

When the sun was bright, Chen Shouke finally couldn't stand the torture, and all recruited.

The foreign tribes are now divided into four tribes, and the four tribes occasionally unite to attack the border of Da Chu, taking the opportunity to burn, kill, and looting, but more often, they guard against each other or even annex each other.

The Mulla tribe where Chen Shouke's father belongs is the most numerous and brave tribe. When the leader is old, his sons are not inferior to him. While fighting, they are also trying to annex other tribes.

According to the news from Chen Shouke, his second elder brother Mula Kili was very cunning and good at fighting. He annexed the nearest Acha tribe with his own power. If Chen Shouke could not make greater achievements, it would be difficult to compete with him, so he took the risk. Plot Xisaiguan.

Chu Xiangtian frowned slightly, "Acha tribe, I once fought against each other, but I didn't expect it to be annexed."

"This cock is more difficult to deal with than Chen Shouke."

The Acha tribe is not big, but it is known for fighting to fight for life. This tribe is almost all men. The women are either captives of other tribes or women robbed from the Chu. They are kept together in captivity and given to Acha The men of the tribe vent their desires and have children.

The men of the Acha tribe can kill with a knife at the age of five. It can be said to be a very difficult tribe.

Unexpectedly, it has now been annexed by the Mulla tribe.

"Yang Dashi took five hundred people to stay and guard Zhenwu County, and the others followed me to Xisaiguan." The remaining 1,500 people had also rushed to Zhenwu County, and Chu Xiangtian took the people to Xisaiguan. Guan galloped away.

As expected by Chu Xiangtian in Xisaiguan, Chen Shouke's men led troops to confront He Lian, and the battle was about to start.

He Lian's injury is still not healed. In order to boost morale and bring the injury to battle, if Chu Xiangtian comes a little later, the two sides will probably have fought.

Chu Xiangtian replaced He Lian and temporarily took over the Zhenbei Army.

The name of the God of War was also spread in the Zhenbei Army. As soon as he appeared, the morale was immediately higher, and the screams of the soldiers echoed through the mountain roads.

Chu Xiangtian walked to the front with the horse's belly in, and the corners of his mouth were picked badly, causing people to hang the dying Chen Shouke on the flagpole.

Chen Shouke, a blood man who was tortured by torture, was hung from the flagpole, dripping blood dripping into the soil, adding to the killing.

"kill!"

With an order from Chu Xiangtian, he swung his spear into the enemy's army first, and confronted the enemy generals.

Knifes, guns and swords, the sound of horses hissing, and the wind and sand in the northwest, mixed with the sound of soldiers fighting, quickly put an end to this battle.

Cut the enemy general under the horse with one shot, and picked the opponent's head on the tip of the gun, Chu raised his arms to Tian, ​​"Kill! Don't leave one!"

Da Chu's morale was even stronger, and he rushed to the foreign race who was also timid, and quickly beheaded the opponent's troops without fail.

Hanging on the flagpole, Chen Shoukai's eyes were splitting, and underneath were all his personal soldiers, all his wealth accumulated over the years, now it's over, it's all over.

Chu Xiangtian put the man down from the flagpole, and Chen Shouke lay in the mud mixed with blood and sweat, his heart ashamed.

"This is the brave clansman in your mouth." Chu Xiangtian pierced his chest with a shot, ending his life, "He is defeated."

Throwing Chen Shouke's corpse into the mountain of corpses, Chu Xiangtian asked them to drag the corpses to a distance and pile them together, and they all burned in a fire.

He Lian looked at his gloomy complexion and rubbed his arms subconsciously. No matter how many times he saw it, he still felt that Chu Xiangtian was very infiltrating when he was on the battlefield. He never left any kindness to the enemy, just like hell. Shura.

It's no wonder that foreigners were frightened when they saw him, and their morale was half gone.

After dealing with the battlefield, Chu Xiangtian said to He Lian: "You can solve the spies in the city by yourself. In addition, you got the news from Chen Shouke that the Mulla tribe intends to annex other tribes. The strength of the two sons of the old leader should not be underestimated. If you really let them unite, Will be a strong enemy, you take care of it."

He Lian thanked him and asked him when he would return to Qingyang.

Chu Xiangtian picked up his gun and mounted his horse, leaving him only a back figure and a lingering voice, "Tomorrow morning."

When he came back faster than when he went back, Chu Xiangtian took the confessions of Chen Shouke and rushed back to Qingyang, and even before he could take off his armor, he went to the palace to report.

After listening to Chu Fengyuan, like Chu Xiangtian, the focus is on the second child of the Mulla tribe. The reason why the border has been so peaceful in recent years is not because the ambitions of foreigners have become smaller, but because they are in a split. Each tribe is a camp.

In the years when Da Chu had the most frequent wars with foreigners, it was because the foreigners had a unified leader.

He integrated the scattered tribes and assembled all his forces to fight against Da Chu, with the intention of invading Da Chu's land. Chu Xiangtian became famous when he was young because he went deep into the enemy camp alone and took the head of the leader.

The leader was killed, and several generals under his command were in their own hands and fighting with each other. Da Chu took this opportunity to completely disperse the foreigners. The originally unified foreign tribes were scattered into several tribes, and no one could unite them.

Only then did Da Chu gain stability afterwards.

But if what Chen Shouke said is true, then Mulla Kili may have unified ambitions. What is more alarming is that Mulla Kili's ability does not seem to be underestimated. If he succeeds to the leader of the Mu La tribe, he is likely to be Trying to annex the remaining tribe, once he successfully annexed, then the next step is Da Chu.

They must be prepared early.

Chu Fengyuan said, "You send a message to the border so that they can always pay attention to the movements of foreigners."

Chu Xiangtian nodded, "The Zhenbei Army has He Company, so don't worry about it for the time being. Both Beiling Pass and Beiyu Pass are the people I brought out. They can be my own. However, the Shanyu Pass in the northeast is weak and the leader Zhang Yi If you are too aggressive and arrogant, there will be problems."

Chu Fengyuan was also helpless, "There is no one to replace him for the time being."

The two discussed for a while, and felt that at present they can only strengthen prevention. If the drought expands, the disaster relief will be overwhelming, and it would be too laborious to take the initiative to send troops to attack foreigners.

After talking about the business, Chu Xiangtian couldn't wait to leave the palace.

Chu Fengyuan teased him, "Is this so worried before we got married?"

Chu Xiang Tianxin said that you are married and stay together every day, of course you don't care about it. I just want to fight when I eat it, and of course I have to worry about it.

Leaving a cold back to his elder brother, Chu Xiangtian left the palace and hurried to the residence without stopping.

Fu Tian had heard the news that Chu Xiangtian had returned with troops early in the morning. Although he knew that he must go to the palace, Baba couldn't help but look at the door.

When he finally hoped to return to the figure who was thinking about it, he was stunned for a while, standing in place with his eyes widened and looking at the person who returned.

Chu Xiangtian hooked his lips and opened his arms towards him.

"I am back."
