Chapter 998 The Death of Khan

The Sui army's north-south attack finally completely collapsed the Turkic army. Thanks to the cover of heavy rain, the Turkic army fled in all directions and fled in the rain. Chu Luo also led more than a thousand cavalry guards to fight to the death and escape to the west.

The unexpected rainstorm did not end until late at night. The battlefield was filled with the bodies of two soldiers and war horses of the dead army. The heavy rain washed away their blood, but the broken limbs and broken arms and the corpses with their heads cut off everywhere were still shocking.

The Sui army soldiers were busy cleaning the battlefield, and various armors were piled up like mountains. More than 70,000 horses were seized, plus more than 80,000 war horses seized by Mayi County. In this war, the Sui army seized a total of 150,000 war horses, and millions of sheep, plus the ransoms that tens of thousands of prisoners of war would receive, which completely compensated for the losses caused by the war.

More than a dozen large pits have been dug at the foot of the mountain. The dead Turkic soldiers and war horses were thrown into the pit, poured Gaonu oil on them, burned them with fire, and buried them with soil. The soldiers who fell from Sui or Tang Army identified them one by one. After burning each corpse, they put the bone colonies into the altar, hung a nameplate for the death, and sent them back to their homes after the war ended.

It took a whole day to deal with various corpses alone. Black smoke rolled everywhere at the foot of Chenghou Mountain. In this battle at the foot of Chenghou Mountain, more than 24,000 Turkic soldiers were killed, 11,000 were captured, and thousands of people escaped with the help of heavy rain, without knowing where to go.

The Sui and Tang coalition forces also suffered huge casualties, with more than 6,000 people killed and nearly 10,000 injured. Although the soldiers were exhausted, everyone's face was filled with the joy of victory. The battle lasted three months. They finally defeated the Turkic army that invaded the southern invaded and wiped them out inside and outside Loufan Pass.

But the war was not completely over, and Chuluo Khan escaped. Thousands of Turkic cavalry escaped in the heavy rain. All enemy soldiers must be wiped out and hidden dangers cannot be left, especially the Turkic Khan, who was the general they focused on pursuing.

Zhang Xuan immediately sent 20,000 cavalry to divide it into 20 search teams to search for escaped Turkic cavalry in Loufan County and Taiyuan County. He also sent people to send letters to Yuchi Gong, asking him to send 10,000 cavalry to Loufan County to participate in the search of the Turkic Khan.

The Sui army cast a net of heaven and earth on the entire Bingzhou land

In a forest about 120 miles northwest of Jingle County, more than a thousand Turkic cavalry were hiding here. They were the Turkic cavalry who followed Luo Khan and Zhishili to escape.

Two soldiers climbed onto the big tree and watched a group of more than a thousand Sui cavalrymen galloping past. They carefully climbed down the big tree and ran towards the depths of the forest.

The temporary habitat of the Turkic cavalry was located by a small river in the middle of the forest. The soldiers built more than a dozen shacks with branches and wood. The largest shack was the place where their Khans were. Although the mutton they carried with them had been lost in the battle, there were a lot of wild game in the forest and many berries, and they were not short of food for the time being.

What they were most worried about was how to go home and whether Khan's body could recover. The huge pressure and heavy rain caused Khan to fall ill halfway through, and his condition became more and more serious. He began to vomit blood at night and fell into a deep coma.

The Turkic military doctor was already dead in the chaos, and no one knew medical skills. Only Kang Sumi, the counselor who followed Luo Khan, knew a little medical skills, and he was responsible for treating Luo Khan.

In the shack, Kang Sumi brought a bowl of medicine and walked around Luo Khan. At this time, Luo Khan was already in a deep coma, his eyes were deep, his face was pale, and his breath was very weak, almost reaching the point of dying.

"You two help me help Khan up, I will feed Khan medicine!" Kang Sumi said to the two guard soldiers.

The two guards hesitated for a moment, and one of them whispered: "Khan started to urinate blood in the morning. Can you stop taking medicine for the time being?"

"Nonsense, if Khan didn't drink medicine, he would have died long ago. How could he survive until now? Help him up."

The two guards had no choice but to help Khan up. Kang Sumi pulled out his dagger and pried open Khan's teeth, slowly poured the medicine down. He stood up and smiled and said, "Khan should have improved tonight, let him have a good rest!"

After saying that, Kang Sumi turned around and left. The two guards looked at each other in shock. Kang Sumi had just used his dagger to pry open Khan's teeth. This was an extremely rude behavior. How could he do this? They both were not only angry, but also suspicious.

On the other side of the forest, General Zhi Shili was listening to the reports of the two sentrymen. He was really worried. From last night to now, this was the third Sui cavalry that appeared outside the forest. Each cavalry had more than a thousand people, enough to annihilate them. This shows that the Sui army's search has moved closer to the west, and it is very likely that the forest will be searched today.

This forest is not big. Once the Sui army enters the forest for searching, they are easily exposed. Zhi loses his mind and ponders for a moment, and decides to leave the forest as soon as possible, hide in the Luliang Mountains, and hide for a few months before looking for an opportunity to go north.

Among the more than a thousand cavalry who escaped with him, most of them were his tribes and absolutely obeyed his orders. Only more than a hundred were Khan's personal guards and they had to convince them. Especially when Khan was sick at this time, the personal soldiers probably would not agree, but they would not be able to leave. The Sui army was about to find this place.

Zhi Shisili stood up and walked towards Khan's residence. However, after walking a few steps, a soldier ran up ahead. Zhi Shisili recognized Khan's personal bodyguard and asked, "What's wrong?"

"General, I have important things to report to the general."

Zhishi Sili pointed to a clearing space next to him, "Let's go over there and talk."

The two sat down in the open space, and the guards told Zhishili in detail what had just happened. Zhishili's brows also frowned and pried open Khan's mouth with a dagger. This was really rude. Even if he was an ordinary Turkic person, he could not do this, let alone Khan. He asked in a deep voice: "Does there be no equipment for feeding medicine?"

"No! We all hold jade spoons in our hands. We used jade spoons to feed Khan medicine yesterday and the day before yesterday. Today, he was impatient and actually pried open Khan's teeth with a dagger. Such a sharp dagger would hurt people if he was not careful. It was not only rude, but also extremely dangerous."

"I'll go and ask Kang Sumi!" Zhi Shili was angry and stood up and wanted to leave.

The personal guard quickly stopped him, "General, I have more important things to say."

"you say!"

The personal guard hesitated and said, "We suspect that the medicine is poisonous."

Zhidui Sili took a step back in shock, "Why?"

"The general doesn't know. We know in our hearts that Khan was just infected with cold wind and cold. His mind was still clear, but his body was weak. But after drinking his medicine, he fell into a coma. He started vomiting blood last night. This morning, he was incontinent and was covered in fishy pus and blood. Khan was already dying."

"Then why don't you stop him?"

"He is a strategist, why do you poison Khan?"

It’s right to think about it. Kang Sumi has no reason to poison Khan, but the reality is that Khan’s condition is serious, so he must go to Kang Sumi to ask.

"I'll go find Kang Sumi. You guys are optimistic about Khan and don't give him anything more."

Zhishili quickly walked towards Kangsumi's shack. As soon as he walked to the shack, a soldier stood up in horror and turned around and ran towards the shack, "Sir, someone is here!"

Zhi Shisili was suspicious. What Kang Sumi was doing. He rushed forward a few steps and kicked open the small door of the shack. He saw Kang Sumi hiding something on the ground. Zhi Shisili stepped forward and dragged Kang Sumi away, lifted the branches on the ground, and picked up a roll of sheepskin from below.

"What is this?" Zhishili asked glaring at Kang Sumi.

Kang Sumi rushed up and robbed him. He was not the burly opponent of Zhishili. He was pushed to the corner. Zhishili opened the scroll and his eyes suddenly widened. This was actually a letter of loyalty to support Ashinaduo's successor to Khan. More than a dozen handprints were printed under it.

Zhi Shisili looked back at Kang Sumi. Seeing his cold eyes, Zhi Shisili immediately understood in his heart. He stepped forward and grabbed Kang Sumi's neck and roared, "So you poisoned Khan's medicine, right?"

"I didn't want to poison it, you killed him!"

Kang Sumi tried hard to break free from Zhishili's hand, retreated to the corner, stared at Zhishili with resentment and shouted: "It was you who suggested that Khan surrender, forcing me to have no choice. It was you who killed Khan!"

Zhishili raised his head and roared, squatting on the ground in pain, grabbing his hair with both hands. On the way to retreat, he suggested that Khan surrender to Zhang Xuan, and that he might be able to release him back to the grassland with political conditions, but Khan said that he had no face to see the people of the grassland, so he no longer insisted on persuading Khan. Unexpectedly, it became Susumi's motive to kill Khan.

You know the situation on the grassland of Kang Sumi walked up to the front of the Yin****. Duo has already gained the support of most tribes. Even eleven of the thirteen ten thousand men in the army have pressed their handprints. It is only you and Amulun. Amulun is a dead mind. I don’t want to persuade him, but the general is a smart person. Even if he doesn’t think about himself, he must consider the loss of his troops.

It is inevitable that Dur will ascend to the throne. I know there is a bit of a feud between you, but if the general takes the head of Shiliver to see Dur, I believe Dur will definitely ignore past grudges and value the general from now on. How about? If the general is willing to agree, please press his fingerprint!" (To be continued.)
