Back to Tang Dynasty to be Emperor

Book friends, this is the end of the second update of the third child today, and I can only guarantee two updates today, please forgive me!Happy National Day!

"What?" Sun Erlang said angrily, "You tell me again?"

"General Sun, there are signs of the Turkic army marching ahead, and their target seems to be coming towards us." The ghost-faced rider scout whispered.

"How many Turkic cavalry are there?" Li Ke asked. He has been restless for the past few days and always feels that something is about to happen. The news of today's scouts really verified his guess.

"I don't know the exact number. It's about 3 people." The ghost-faced rider scout replied.

"3 people?" Su Dingfang and Li Mengchang couldn't help but take a deep breath. More than 3 Turkic cavalry were ready to fight on their way back to Tang. He even felt that things were very strange, as if they were Turkic. It's like a conspiracy set up.

"Go down and closely monitor the movements of the Turkic cavalry, and report back as soon as you have any news." Li Ke said with a stern expression.

"Nuo" Ghost Knight disappeared from Li Ke's sight on horseback.

"The [-] Turkic cavalry blocking our way back to Tang is definitely not aimless, and their goal is probably us." After thinking for a while, Li Ke came to this conclusion, "What I am wondering now is that we rest during the day. Marching at night, when the Turkic tribes raided us, we killed them all and never let a single person escape. How did the Turkic people know our whereabouts?"

"The general also thinks that our operation this time may have fallen into the trap of the Turkic people, and the Turkic cavalry in front of us is very likely to have ambushed here a long time ago, waiting to stop our cavalry." Su Dingfang frowned. Locked tightly, "It's just that the general also wondered how the Turkic people knew our whereabouts?The ghost riders rest during the day and can march more than 800 miles at night. How do they know our actions so well? "

"Your Highness, what should we do now?" Li Mengchang asked, "It is impossible for five thousand cavalry to be the opponent of a three-man army. Besides, if it is really a trap arranged by the Turks as General Su said, then wait for us There may be far more than the 3 people in front, and there may be enemy pursuers behind us."

"En!" Li Ke nodded, he completely agreed with the analysis of Su Dingfang and Li Mengchang, and just as he thought, the house leak happened to rain all night, and just after Li Mengchang finished speaking, he saw a ghost-faced knight The soldiers rushed to Li Ke in a hurry, and shouted hastily, "Your Highness, we found a large group of Turkic cavalry ten miles behind us. The number is unknown, about 2."

2 people?Li Ke, Su Dingfang, Li Mengchang, and Sun Erlang did not speak, and the atmosphere became very strange.There were pursuers before, and the enemy came later, Li Ke couldn't help laughing, his smile looked bleak and sad in the cold night wind.My luck is really good, I will never appear lonely, and there will always be people thinking about me.When I was in Chang'an, there were political opponents such as Changsun Wuji who took good care of me. When I left Chang'an and came to Taiyuan Mansion, there were still people who did not give up and came to cause trouble for me. What about now?After leaving Mobei, there are still Turkic people who can't forget themselves.Li Ke felt that he was really fucking lucky. No wonder someone as weak as Li Zhi could become the emperor in the end. The key was that he was so popular that everyone wanted to stab him a few times.

"There were chasing soldiers before, and strong enemies later, what should we do?" Li Ke said to himself.

"That bastard betrayed us?" Sun Erlang had a bad temper. Hearing the scout's report, he was silent for a moment, and finally couldn't hold back his anger. No matter where we go we will not be safe and will be known by the enemy."

"Wang Zhongchang" Li Ke's icy voice was very harsh in the cold night. He felt that the problem might be the first night of the ghost-faced knight's raid, because that night, the part of the Turkic cavalry that Wang Zhongchang killed when they faced the ghost-faced knight looked at death as if they were at home. It made him feel very strange, and Wang Zhongchang was the party involved one night, so he wanted to inquire about the situation and see if he could find any clues from it.

"Your Highness, what orders do you have?" Wang Zhongchang hurried forward when he heard Li Ke's greeting.

"On the first night when the Ghost-faced Cavalry participated in the battle, you were in charge of killing the Turkic people who resisted fiercely. Do you know what the king said to you at that time?" Li Ke asked in a flat tone.

"His Royal Highness told the general that if any suspicious person is found, no matter who he is, he must be shot, and no future troubles will be left." Wang Zhongchang recalled what Li Ke said to him at that time, and said calmly.

"Then do you find anyone suspicious? Quickly tell me what happened when you went to investigate that night." Li Ke said sternly.

"No..." Wang Zhongchang reported to Li Ke very simply out of time considerations, that is, no suspicious situation was found.Now Li Ke asked him to tell him the experience of that night in detail, and he told him everything that happened that night, including the unpleasant conversation with Guo Shifeng.

"Guo Shifeng?" Sun Erlang couldn't help exclaiming.

"Your Highness," Su Dingfang couldn't help but said, but Li Ke didn't let him continue to speak, and stopped Su Dingfang.He believes what Wang Zhongchang said, and he will not doubt Wang Zhongchang, so the problem may lie with Guo Shifeng, and based on Li Ke's understanding of Guo Shifeng and the nervousness that Guo Shifeng showed when he reported to him that night, Li Ke got the result that the problem was Guo Shifeng, and it is not surprising that such a problem happened to someone like Guo Shifeng who had not experienced war.

"Dingfang, send out a large number of scouts to closely monitor the movement of the Turkic cavalry." Li Ke did not pursue this issue any further. He ordered Su Dingfang, "Our marching route needs to be adjusted, and we can no longer return to Taiyuan from Youzhou. The road back to Taiyuan has been blocked by the Turks. Based on the fact that they sent more than 5 people this time, they are determined to win us. Therefore, we cannot hit a stone with an egg and let ourselves become their prey. Now we are Marching at night, the Turks flanked back and forth but did not launch an attack. It may be because the front and rear armies have not yet contacted, and we are not sure whether we are in the trap they arranged. This shows that their arrangement is not perfect, so We can take advantage of this gap to escape from their ambush. Now, what we have to do is to seize the opportunity in front of us to let the soldiers get a full rest, and we also need to study and formulate a battle plan."

"No!" Su Dingfang took the order, said a few words to the soldiers around him, watched o the fastest soldier on his mobile phone, nodded to express his understanding, and immediately disappeared into the night.

The ghost-faced rider, who has experienced four battles in half a month, the ghost-faced rider who won no battle, rested during the day and marched hurriedly at night, finally gave the order to rest at night for the first time.

Under the light of dim candlelight, Li Ke's temporary military tent had a simple sheepskin mattress covered with a marching map of Mobei.Li Ke, Su Dingfang, Li Mengchang, Sun Erlang and Guo Shifeng stared at the map in silence.

"Servant, can you get used to marching and fighting for the first time?" Li Ke asked Guo Shifeng a question that had nothing to do with the current situation.

"His Royal Highness is already familiar with the fighting style of Ghost Face Knight." Guo Shifeng was a little nervous when he spoke, but Li Ke didn't force him, but he seemed flustered.

Li Ke put his hand on his shoulder lightly, and said in a kind tone, "The prodigal son will not be exchanged for money when he turns back. Knowing his mistakes can make a big difference. I think you should understand what I mean?"

"Your Highness" Guo Shifeng suddenly knelt down and cried, "Your Highness, it's all the fault of the last general! On the night when the ghost-faced cavalry participated in the night battle for the first time, General Su asked the last general to go back behind the enemy and seal the Turks' rear. to prevent them from escaping. But that night, General Mo really couldn't bear to kill an unarmed mother and child with a two-year-old baby by his side, so General Mo let them go in a moment of resignation."

"Get out!" Sun Erlang yelled, and at the same time, he heard a "snap", and Sun Erlang got up and kicked Guo Shifeng to the ground.Li Ke didn't stop Sun Erlang's kick, Su Dingfang didn't stop him, and Li Mengchang didn't stop him.They finally understood the truth of the matter. Their whereabouts were reported to the Turkic people by the woman released by Guo Shifeng. They just didn't expect Guo Shifeng to be so ignorant and benevolent; They would dare to bet more with the lives of 4000 people from three tribes. After they knew the purpose of Li Ke and his party, they did not take action. Instead, they used three tribes to lure their party to their ambush circle; The price was only to kill 5000 people in his own area.

"No!" Li Ke exclaimed, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and a terrible thought suddenly appeared in his heart, the Turkic dared to use the price of three tribes and four people as a bet, did they really want the five thousand ghost faces around him? ride?A mere 5000 people is not enough to make the Turks so motivating.Then there is only one reason to explain their purpose, that is, the person the Turkic people want is themselves, and only themselves will let the Turkic people fall into such painstaking arrangements.

And this is why Li Ke was surprised. According to his current speculation, the Turks must have known that he himself was among the Tang troops who raided the Turkic tribe this time.And judging from the situation on the night of the ghost-faced knight's night battle, the people of the Turkic tribe who were attacked at that time only knew that it was the Tang army who attacked them, but they didn't know that they were among the army!Therefore, the woman who escaped and was let go by Guo Shifeng only revealed the whereabouts of the ghost rider to the Turkic people, but the Turkic people really wanted to intercept and kill not the ghost rider but themselves.From this we can be sure that the Turkic plan for his return to Taiyuan Mansion had already been implemented as early as when he left Taiyuan Mansion.

Well, Li Ke didn't dare to think about it anymore, because according to his inference, he came to a terrible conclusion: if he sent troops to Taiyuan Mansion, the Turkic people would know the purpose of their trip and start to design this trap. , that is, there must be Turkic spies in Taiyuan Prefecture, or Datang has undercover agents with Turkic people,
