My old husband who can read minds

Chapter 267
Qin He had 1000 more troops on his side, and his combat power exploded instantly. In addition, he also had the firepower bonus of thunderbolts in his hand. Not only was he evenly matched with the two thousand dead soldiers on the opposite side, but he also had a slight upper hand.

Yes, not long after the fight between the two sides started, Qin He discovered that the attacks sent by the old thief Tong Guan to finish this time were very ruthless, and all of them had cold eyes and killed people like numbness. It was obvious that they were like death warriors.

Being able to send out two thousand dead soldiers at once, how could the old thief Tong Guan have been disobedient for a long time?
The crime of raising dead men was enough to make him lose his head three times.

In fact, aristocratic families secretly cultivate some secret guards, but this is a fixed number in the imperial court. It cannot exceed three hundred, otherwise it will be regarded as treason.

Even if the quota was exceeded by thirty or fifty, even if Emperor Qianyuan knew it, he would turn a blind eye. After all, this small number of people would not be a big deal and would not violate the emperor's taboo.

But what Tong Guan did was to step on the emperor's taboo area again and again. Killing him and the nine tribes might not be able to extinguish the emperor's anger.

Qin He was secretly happy in his heart. It seemed that the old thief Tong Guan was at the end of his rope. Otherwise, he would not have given himself a ready-made excuse "before his death", so that the person named Tong would get closer and closer to confiscating his family and exterminating his family.

This fierce battle lasted for a day and a night. One side was determined to die, and the other side was determined to survive. They all fought until they went crazy with jealousy and didn't even have time to stop and breathe.

Qin He's robes were soaked with blood, carrying a heavy smell of blood that made him dizzy, but his eyes became colder and calmer.

If you look carefully, you will see that a long incision was made on his back, and a deep sword mark was left on his left arm. The cloth bandaged casually on the wound has been soaked with blood, and the original color cannot be seen.

But Qin He seemed not to be tired from the pain, and still raised his knife to fight the enemy, his face pale with blood loss full of perseverance.

By this time, both the enemy and ourselves were actually exhausted, but the more critical it was of life and death, the less we dared to relax, because if we were not careful, we would pay the price of our lives.

This fierce battle finally ended with the timely arrival of reinforcements from Jingzhou. The dead soldiers retreated and fled immediately when they saw that they were defeated. They were surrounded by the Jingzhou garrison who came with troops, and almost the entire army was annihilated.

Qin He asked Yi Renzhong to deliberately keep about twenty people alive and escort them back to Beijing to serve as witnesses.

After the crisis was over, Qin He and others lay down on the ground so tired that they almost had no strength to speak.

Later, these wounded and disabled generals were carried or moved into temporary tents by soldiers sent by Lord Yi to treat their wounds and rest.

The accompanying military doctor treated Qin He's wound. Fortunately, it was just excessive bleeding, and there was no danger of life or disability. Qin He changed into clean underwear, and after devouring a meal, his eyelids were so sleepy that he trembled. Lying on the wooden bed and sleeping soundly.After several days and nights of running away, he barely slept a wink. He was really exhausted.

Outside the camp, Yi Renzhong, who originally wanted to come in to report military affairs, left quietly after hearing the snoring. He also specifically told the soldiers guarding the tent not to let anyone disturb Lord Qin's rest.

Qin He did not wake up until late the next day, sleeping for twelve hours. After waking up, he immediately summoned Yi Renzhong to discuss the plan of "catching the thief" while having a meal.

He wanted to take advantage of the fact that Tong Guan, the old thief, had not received the news of his defeat, to make a comeback, arrest the old thief directly, bring him to justice, and escort him to Beijing.

The ready-made achievements are right in front of you. If you don’t pick them up, you won’t pick them up in vain.

Yi Renzhong suppressed his joy and looked at Qin He's lead in everything. He immediately sent his confidants to take Qin He's handwritten letter and his official seal, and returned to the state government to dispatch [-] elite troops to help.

So Qin He ignored rest and went into battle despite being wounded. He and Yi Renzhong led the [-] Jizhou garrison and fought back to the northern Xinjiang. The other [-] elite soldiers would rush to catch up with the front troops after receiving the order.

As for the Xiaoyi guards and the surrendered border troops who were still alive in the battle in the dense forest, Qin He ordered them to rest and recuperate quickly to the Jingzhou magistrate's office to recuperate and wait for him to come back to join them.

This battle was fought in darkness, and all three parties suffered heavy casualties.

Not to mention that the two thousand dead soldiers sent by the child bandits were almost wiped out, and half of the remaining more than 100 owl guards were gone, with less than 80 people left, and the one thousand surrendered border troops were not alive. When 500 people arrived, they were really furious.

The only thing that made Qin He happy was that Vice General Lin and others took advantage of the chaos to escape, and met Yi Renzhong's large army who came to support them halfway. Now they have been secretly guarded by Yi Renzhong's people and returned to Beijing.

It was precisely because of this that Qin He felt free to go round up the old thief Tong.

As long as Vice General Lin presents the evidence to the emperor, the emperor will definitely order troops to arrest Tong Guan and his gang. As for other secrets involved, they can only be revealed after he returns to Beijing to meet the emperor in person.

After all, the case of "stealing and selling weapons to enrich one's own pockets" involved a certain prince of the current dynasty. How could Qin He dare to mention such a royal scandal in a secret document?
