Start from the thief

Chapter 610 Night Attack

General Wang returned to his residence and declined all requests for interviews, which made the officers in Chang'an extremely anxious.

General Xue was forced to die, and it is very likely that he would lose another batch of Chang'an's already limited troops. Then what?

Will the emperor continue to force others to fight?

Now General Wang has become their backbone, but after returning from the court meeting, this big guy simply stayed indoors and refused to see guests or give any reasons, which immediately made all the generals feel uneasy.

The civil officials also encountered a similar situation, but the only good thing was that Prime Minister Di still sent his family to say that he was unwell and asked everyone to do their job and not to panic.

Although it was just nonsense, many people were still slightly relieved. The situation in Chang'an was temporarily stabilized.

Mr. Xue returned home. His wife, who was also a first-rank official, did not scold or dissuade him after learning the emperor's order. She just took out the armor that she had maintained well by herself and carefully put it on Mr. Xue.

"You see, there are some benefits to you still practicing swordplay every day even though you've retired. After all these years, this set of armor still fits you very well."

Old Master Xue laughed and said, "What a pity! I don't know how the children are doing in Yizhou. I'm afraid I won't have the chance to see them again."

"When we get to heaven, we will naturally bless them."

"us?"

Madam Xue smiled and said, "We went into battle together back then. How come the master despises me for being old today?"

"Good, good, good!"

Old Master Xue said three good words in a row: "Let's show you, Liao dog, how many dog ​​heads can we chop off with our swords today!"

Prime Minister Di was in a daze in his study when there was a loud knock on the door.

Prime Minister Di frowned and was about to scold, but then he remembered that anyone who could knock on his study door would definitely not be such a reckless person.

What a big deal!

Prime Minister Di hurriedly stood up and ran over to open the door. He looked at the panicked student and aide and asked, "What's the matter?"

"General Xue has left the city!"

"So fast!"

The grand court meeting had just ended in the morning, and it was not long after lunch when he left the city?

"Which guard horse did he take? Why didn't the transfer order go to the Ministry of Personnel? Why did he leave so quickly?"

Prime Minister Di put on his formal attire and walked out. He urgently needed to find General Wang. Although everyone knew that there was a high probability that General Xue would die in the battle, they would still try their best if they had a chance to provide him with support.

"General Xue didn't bring the six guards."

Di Xiang stopped and asked, "What?"

"General Xue and the old lady came with only a hundred personal soldiers from the Xue Mansion."

Prime Minister Di's hands dropped weakly. The personal soldiers of the Xue Mansion were all descendants of Grandpa Xue's comrades who died in battle after many years of fighting. The late emperor, or should I say the late emperor, had specially granted him permission to keep 200 soldiers as his private armed forces. Prime Minister Di left half to his descendants and took the other half away.

"Go, inform the Political Affairs Hall on duty and prepare the messenger."

The staff was stunned for a moment: "En Xiang, you want an envoy, what for?"

Prime Minister Di lowered his head, slowly turned around, and walked back to the study room dejectedly: "Bring back General Xue and his wife, as well as the bodies of the one hundred personal soldiers."

Zhao Yushu and Yang He were waiting for night to fall.

The martial arts of both of them are much more powerful at night than during the day, and things like raiding a camp and beheading people are most suitable when the moon is dark and the wind is strong.

"Are we really going to kill that Ganbu, or are we just going to shoot the interior scenes?"

Yang He was making the final confirmation before the battle.

"If we didn't kill Neijing, but killed Ganbu instead, guess what would happen?"

Yang He touched his head and said, "The Tibetans will fight to the death."

"Yeah! But on the other hand, we killed those two Neijing but didn't kill Ganbu, what would you do if you were Ganbu?"

"Hey, withdraw your troops at night, kowtow to me and beg for mercy so that I can give him a way to escape back home."

"That's not it, get ready, I'm going to commit suicide."

Zhao Yushu changed into a black robe, took out a black scarf to cover his mouth and nose, put on his hood, unsheathed his cold iron sword, and flew into the sky. Under the dim moonlight, he disappeared in an instant.

Yang He took a deep breath, changed his iconic red clothes into black clothes, drew out his long sword, and cautiously approached the Tubo camp.

Naturally, there was a warning formation in the camp, which would explode if any cultivator approached. However, for Zhao Yushu, who had gained some power, this formation did not exist.

Madam Xu could hide her spiritual power, or she could use the Shadow Step to pass through the formation directly. In any case, Zhao Yushu easily appeared in a corner of a tent in the camp.

The Tibetans' military discipline was also uneven. Zhao Yushu also saw many Tibetan soldiers talking and laughing loudly outside the campfire. Theoretically, it should be time to go to bed, and it was impossible to allow the soldiers to play around.

At least in Zhao Yushu's eyes, Tubo Gampo's men were not even as strong as Cai Bang's 3,000 soldiers who followed his orders. Of course, this was also because there were too many people and the camp was too large, so they could not be directly compared with a small group of elite troops.

Zhao Yushu's figure quickly shuttled in the darkness and ran towards the Tubo central army tent that had been discovered during the day.

As Zhao Yushu got closer and closer to Ganbu's tent, the inspection became more and more strict. Apart from the patrol troops, there was no longer a single idle soldier outside. From time to time, there were even spiritual lights patrolling back and forth.

Although the large formation can basically ensure that nothing can go wrong, these people still have some self-awareness as cultivators.

The spiritual light tried to capture every fluctuation of spiritual power, but Zhao Yushu easily avoided it.

However, it will be difficult to fool people ahead, as there are more and more monks there, and their cultivation levels are getting higher and higher. If you go further, you might run into a few who are good at playing tricks, and you might fall into the ditch if you are not careful.

After estimating the distance, Zhao Yushu took a deep breath, and his spiritual power mixed with terrifying sound waves suddenly exploded in the barracks.

"Happy Bodhisattva, get out here!"

Joyful Bodhisattva was meditating in his tent. Next to him was Ganbu’s camp. The tent was very large and comfortable, and the supplies in the camp were all in accordance with Ganbu’s standards, but he still didn’t like it.

There are no cultivators proficient in the dual cultivation method to practice with him here. There is nothing but war. He has only made brief explorations of several interior scenes in Chang'an City and never came out again. It is really boring to bully some low-priced cultivators or even mortals.

Go to sleep, today is another peaceful day.

Just as Joyful Bodhisattva was about to wake up, a powerful and familiar wave of spiritual energy rushed into his tent along with a curse.

Not only did that guy not die, he even followed us here? !

"court death!"

Joyful Bodhisattva cursed angrily, the tent shattered with a loud bang, and a figure rushed straight towards the direction where the sound came from.

"What happened?"

Ganbu was discussing strategy with several generals overnight when he was suddenly startled by the voice.

Why was this cultivator able to avoid the warning of the large formation and only spoke out when he was so close?

If he comes towards me, wouldn't I be in danger?

"Go and see!"

At Ganbu's command, the entire Tibetan camp, which covered an area of ​​dozens of miles, suddenly fell into chaos.

Yang He stood outside the warning formation, listening to the sudden shouting and cursing in the camp, and began to calculate the time. According to the agreement with Zhao Yushu, he would be able to go in soon.
