Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 253 The disappearing army

The vast Jinshan Mountain was bathed in the sad sunshine, and on the top of the mountain, the howling wind roared, sending out bursts of soul-stirring roars.

A group of Turkic cavalry stood quietly on the top of the mountain. The leader was Ji Li Khan, and beside him sat the prince silently and the general Dalha.

Ji Li Khan's complexion was extremely serious, his two sides were bright, and he was quietly staring at the valley below. In the valley, more than ten thousand corpses lay horizontally among the rocks and weeds, the scene was horrible.

The Turkic sergeants took the team as a unit and checked the corpses around. From time to time, one or two shouts came with the wind.

Ji Li Khan looked at Mo Chuan beside him, Mo Chuu shook his head, and said softly: "Father, things are not good."

Gilly didn't speak.

Suddenly, there was a sound of horseshoes in the distance, and a scout galloped to his post. He got off his horse and said, "Khan, we have found out that there are [-] corpses in total. General Zhou Jun dressed up and checked the official certificate on the body, and this person is Zhao Wenhui, the governor of Yingzhou."

Ji Li Khan gasped: "Zhao Wenhuang."

The scout replied: "Exactly."

Ji Li's voice trembled a little: "What's going on, what's going on?"

Mo Chuai, who was at the side, said, "Father, a month ago, Zhao Wenhui sent someone to excuse us, saying that he was going to cross the border from Turkic and go back to Dongxia Shigu..."

Ji Li nodded slowly: "Yes, yes. But they, why did their bodies appear here?"

Mo Chuan sighed: "I said at the time that excuses would bring us endless troubles, but you said that Di Renjie and Wang Jingyang had saved your life, so I had to help you with this favor. Well, the trouble finally came .”

Ji Li stared straight at the young man beside him: "Mo Chuo, you didn't do this, did you?"

Silently smiled: "Father, the main force is in your hands, how can I have the right to mobilize it? You have seen, besides my Turkic main force, who else has such strength. It is possible to wipe out such a huge army. team?"

Ji Li's face softened: "The annihilation of 5000 people is not a small battle. It happened under my nose, and we didn't even know a little bit about it. This is too incredible."

He turned around: "Dalha."

A general beside him galloped up to him.

Ji Li asked him, "Recently, has there been any war in Turkic territory?"

Dalha hurriedly replied: "It's never happened before. Now it's winter, and the army is recuperating."

Ji Li bit her lip and nodded.

Silently said: "Father, the problem now is not who wiped out the Great Zhou army, but once this matter is known to the Great Zhou court. We will not be able to argue."

Startled, Ji Li raised his head: "What do you mean?"

Mo Shui said: "Zhao Wenhui's troops were completely wiped out in the Turkic territory, can you convince the Emperor of Zhou that this was not done by our Turkic army?"

Ji Li was stunned.

After a while, he asked, "Then, what do you think?"

Mo Chuai said: "Father, you can't hide this kind of thing if you want to hide it. It will leak out sooner or later. At this moment, you should order Tiger Master to stop training immediately and set up defenses at the border to prepare for any eventuality."

Ji Li took a deep breath: "This means declaring war on Da Zhou, and the peace brought about by my friendship with Di Renjie and Wang Jingyang will come to an end."

Mo Chuai said: "Father, we have to do it as a last resort."

Ji Li shook his head: "No, no, Di Renjie and Wang Jingyang can be said to be kind and righteous to me and Turkic. I have solemnly sworn that I will never be an enemy of Da Zhou in this life. Momo Sip, I can't betray my friends, I can't do that."

Silently let out a long sigh of disappointment.

Ji Li suddenly turned around and ordered: "Dalha, immediately order someone to send a letter to inform the Great Zhou court of this situation."

……

Turkic, stone country.

Ji Li Khan wandered restlessly in the tent of teeth.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps in the distance, and the prince silently and the general Daleha walked into the room quickly.

The two knelt down on one knee and saluted.

Ji Li turned around: "How about it, did you find anything?"

Mo Shui said: "Father, I have checked all the tribes under the Turkic jurisdiction, except for the recent friction between the Yanqi tribe and Gaochang, there is no large army conquest."

Ji Li asked, "Dalha, where are you?"

Daleha said: "Khan, the Turkic guard has three tiger divisions, 32 leopard divisions, and 52 eagle divisions with a total of [-] people. They have never mobilized a single soldier."

"Oh!"

Ji Li Khan slammed the table and asked sharply: "The tribe has not moved, the army has not moved, what happened to the corpse in Jinshan, did it fly?"

Mo Chuai and Dalha both lowered their heads.

Ji Li took a deep breath and said angrily: "Border peace is hard-won. It was bought with the blood of hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Now, there is such a force in the Turkic country that is doing everything possible to provoke conflict with Da Zhou. In the war, they did not hesitate to tear up the covenant and put our Turkic people in fire and water."

As he said that, he looked at Mo Chuan with lightning-like eyes: "Li Jinzhong of Khitan openly turned against Da Zhou in spite of the covenant. Is this inseparable from the secret support of some people in our country?"

Surprised, he raised his head.

I saw Jili Khan staring at him with piercing eyes.

Mo Chuai hurriedly lowered his head.

Ji Li Khan snorted heavily: "Do you think that war is a joke? Do you think that the army of the Great Zhou is so easy to deal with? Huh? From the Sui Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty to the Great Zhou Dynasty, there have been hundreds of battles. Which war is my Turkic? Man wins in the end? You say."

Silently Chuan Nuo Nuo said: "What the father said is very true."

Ji Li softened his tone and said slowly: "We have exchanged each other's sincerity for peace on the border between the two countries. This is the result that people on both sides want to see. Could it be because of some people's selfish desires? Destroy it? How is it different from Modu who killed the mission a few years ago and tried to provoke a war between the two countries?"

Mo Chuan hurriedly said: "Father Wang is wise, and my child is loyal and supportive."

Ji Li reprimanded: "Supporting requires practical actions, don't follow the yin and yang, otherwise, you will suffer the consequences."

Mo Chuai was taken aback: "My child dare not."

Ji Li waved his hand: "Okay, get up."

Silence and Daleha stood up.

Ji Li said: "There must be a traitor in this matter, you must investigate strictly."

The two replied in unison: "Yes."

Ji Li ordered: "Dalha, you take my order and go to each division to check in detail, is there someone who secretly mobilized the army and started a war indiscriminately?"

Dalha bowed and said, "Yes."

But what Ji Li Khan didn't see was the disapproving expression on Mo Chuan's face at this moment.
