When Wang Dechen attacked Qisheng Gate of Diaoyu City, a Mongolian coward named "Mulahu" was ordered to the Western Camp.

Mulahu first met Wang Dechen's brother, Marshal Wang Zhongchen of Gongchang.

When he heard that Li Tingyu had returned, he met Li Tingyu again.

"Khuranji, you have returned to the camp, why don't you go to see the Great Khan?"

"The last general submitted the battle report, but received no reply." Li Tingyu spoke fluent Mongolian, and added: "I thought the Great Khan had rested, so I didn't dare to ask for an audience."

He showed a respectful look in front of Mulahu.

Qie Xue's army was the bodyguard of the Mongolian Great Khan, and even ordinary soldiers had a higher status than ordinary Qianhu officials.

Mula suddenly laughed and said: "No, the Great Khan is concerned about the night attack on Qisheng Gate and is still waiting for the result."

"Then let's go and report on Liyi Mountain City." Li Tingyu said: "By the way, Shi Ji, the general manager of Zhending Mansion, has arrived with his troops. Do you want to take him with you?"

"Shi Ji?"

Mula suddenly asked back, but then he laughed and said: "He actually came to accompany the expedition? A few years ago, when the Great Khan met with Shi Ji, I was there."

When he said this, he weighed his hands unconsciously.

This is a little act of weighing gold.

Li Tingyu then understood that Mulahu had received many benefits from Shi Ji.

"I will send someone to ask General Manager Shi at this moment."

"I'll go and invite you." Mulahu said carelessly.

Regardless of the heavy rain, he walked straight outside the tent, turned over, and got on the horse gently and deftly.

Li Tingyu quickly greeted the soldiers and walked with Mulahu towards the Zhending Army camp.

As a guard of the Great Khan, Mulahu was not only tall and majestic in appearance, but also knowledgeable. He was talking while riding his horse.

"Shi Ji is a very smart man. I remember it very well. The Great Khan gave him the Golden Tiger Talisman and asked him to govern Zhending. He said, 'The power of the army and the people cannot be combined into one person. Please divide the power of the commander and general between the ministers.

Shi', because of these words, the Great Khan liked him very much."

Li Tingyu responded with a smile, but suddenly doubts arose in his heart.

In the past few days when he was getting along with Shi Ji, he was obviously dull and taciturn, and it was difficult to connect him with the Shi Ji described by Mulahu.

Li Tingyu looked at the rain curtain and finally felt something was wrong...

He also thought that heavy rain was expected early this morning, and he advocated delaying the march the next day. However, Shi Zhang strongly urged to hurry up, and he hurriedly arrived at the camp in the night rain.

Li Tingyu originally thought that Shi Zhang was in a hurry to go to Nanying and meet the Shi family soldiers earlier.

But when he actually arrived at Diaoyu City, Shi Zhang preferred to station himself in Xiying, seemingly deliberately avoiding Nanying.

Why?

Thinking about this, I arrived at the Zhending Army's camp.

One by one, the Zhending sergeants turned their heads and looked with vigilance in their eyes...

Li Tingyu suddenly thought of Shi Shu's death again, and with a thought in his mind, he quickly pulled the rope of Mulahu's horse.

Mulahu had already shouted: "Shi Ji, haha, why don't you come out of your tent to greet your old friend?!"

He shouted in Mongolian and his voice was very loud.

Soon, someone in the tent responded in fluent Mongolian: "Which general is here?"

"It's not general, Mura from the Onen River is here. Do you still remember the gold you gave me? I'm here to invite you to see the Great Khan."

"It turns out to be General Mulahu..."

When these few sentences in Mongolian fell into his ears, Li Tingyu breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself that he was too worried.

How could the historian's views and experiences be false?

At this moment, someone opened the curtain of the tent in front and came out.

At the same time, Mulahu shouted: "You..."

"despair!"

Crossbow shooting.

"puff!"

Before Mu La suddenly finished speaking, a ball of plasma burst out from his throat and was washed away by the heavy rain.

The corpse of the mighty Xue Jun was smashed off his horse.

Li Tingyu's eyes suddenly widened.

"killed!"

"Puff puff……"

One by one, the Zhending army suddenly raised their crossbows and fired at Li Tingyu and the soldiers behind him indiscriminately.

"Enemy attack!" Li Tingyu roared with his eyes cracked.

He turned his horse's head and started to leave.

"Hurry! Ring the whistle..."

"Bah! Bah!"

The war horse had been hit by two crossbow arrows. It screamed and lifted Li Tingyu off the horse.

He rolled on the spot and tried to pull out the knife from his waist.

Several Zhending soldiers rushed forward.

"Feiyu, leave him behind to persuade him to surrender..."

"killed!"

Suddenly there was another command.

Li Tingyu turned around in a hurry and looked...

"puff!"

With one slash of the sword, Li Tingyu's eyesight went dark, and the last scene was Shi Zhang ordering him to step forward with his sword...

The head rolled and fell.

~~

"Check carefully, no one is allowed to be left alive, and no one is allowed to report the news!"

"Everyone gather immediately and act quickly!"

"Put a red cloth on the armor, unsheath the sword, cock the arrow, and shoot the Mongolian army immediately without hesitation!"

Li Xia no longer pretended to be Shi Zhang and strode around the camp giving orders.

His expression and temperament changed drastically in an instant.

Sharper and more majestic.

"Lin Zi, Ma Jiu, Qiu Shou, lead your people, prepare to follow me to attack Wang Zhongchen!"

"yes!"

"Wang Yixin, if you lead people to frighten the Mongolian horses, you will definitely disrupt the entire camp!"

"yes……"

Footsteps sounded in the night, and more than a thousand people lined up very quickly.

Li Xia spent several days selecting them from nearly ten thousand Song troops. They were all experienced soldiers, tall and physically strong.

More than a hundred of them were very familiar with the terrain. They served as guides to lead the way across the Jialing River and drove north along the vertical Huaying Mountains.

In twelve days, they marched more than 400 miles through the barren mountains and ridges, building roads across mountains and building bridges over water, until they reached the Tongchuan River Gorge.

Tongchuan River, later called Zhou River, flows from the northeast of Daba Mountains to Qujiang River, and is the only place that separates Huaying Mountains.

The important town guarding this place is Liyi Mountain City in Quzhou, which has fallen into the hands of the Mongolian army.

As Li Tingyu said, it was impossible for the Song army to cross Huaying Mountain to Quzhou.

However, the Mongolian army was able to pass through Liyi Mountain City in a majestic manner.

So Li Xia asked them to pretend to be Shi Ji's troops.

The military symbols, flags, armor, weapons, and horses were all seized from Shi Shu, and only some of them were slightly forged.

If he only faced Li Tingyu from Liyi Mountain City, Li Xia was confident that he could hide it. This was something he was quite good at.

But when we arrived at the Mongolian camp, anyone might have seen Shi Ji before and could see through this disguise at a glance.

Li Xia took advantage of the heavy rain to deliberately slow down Li Tingyu's march and entered Wang Dechen's camp at night.

He knew he couldn't hide it for too long, so he planned to shoot Wang Dechen to death with a crossbow as soon as he saw him.
