After the banquet, Hu Tu said to Hebule: "Brother, letting Shatu tribe stay in my territory now. In the long run, I will be a big trouble for me. No one will hurt the tiger. If the tiger is harmful to others, I must be careful. Li Keyong has been a general who rebelled against the Tang Dynasty, but now my troops are taking great risks. He borrowed food from him several times, but he was not satisfied. Instead, he kept recruiting soldiers and horses, and kept borrowing food from me. Now that winter is approaching, my troops have no surplus food."

Hebule frowned, "Li Guochang and his son are heroes of the desert and heroes of the Central Plains. Now that they are in such a difficult situation, they should treat them well to repay the Shatuo tribe's guidance. They must not be enemies, otherwise they will be a joke in the world."

"I know that my brother had become a sworn brother with Li Guochang, and Li Guochang was also a trustworthy person. But Li Keyong is different, he is cruel and ruthless, but not a good person. I heard that Li Keyong had a batch of excellent armor and weapons in his hand, and there were a lot of them. At today's banquet, they proposed to ask them to mortgage some for food, but what do you think he reacted? He just wanted to borrow our food for free, then recruit troops with the food, and then equipped with excellent armor and weapons, but he refused to give it to us at all. I see, we must be careful not to take over the master."

"Why can't this happen?" Hebule was still hesitant.

"Brother, we treat each other sincerely, only to fear that he will be like a Tatar. Think about how the Tang Kingdom treats Shatuo Li Keyong and his son well, but they still have the same killing officials and rebellion? Li Keyong is just a ungrateful wolf, no matter how good he is, he will not be able to raise it. It is said that one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. If you keep him here, it is a disaster sooner or later."

Hebule was also a little annoyed when he was said, "But now we have taken in his father and son here, how can we tell him away?"

Hutu stepped forward and leaned into Hebule's ear and said, "Do you still remember the previous Tang Dynasty envoy?"

"They are still there?" Hebule said in a panic.

The Tang envoy mentioned by Hutu was the secret spy of the ** Knights. After Li Keyong escaped, Li Jing sent a secret spy deep into the desert and chased Li Keyong. However, he assassinated twice in secret, but failed to succeed. Later, Li Ke used the northern part of the world. The prevention was stricter and it would be more difficult to use a mobile phone. After the incident was reported to Li Jing, Li Jing ordered them to contact the Tatars tribe and prepared to provoke the Tatars to attack Li Keyong.

However, at the beginning, he did not get the result of hope. Hebule directly rejected Li Jing's envoy. However, the envoy did not give up. He had been lobbying Hutu for a while, and now he finally told Hutu. Although Hutu could agree, it was because the envoy promised him that he was willing to give him generous rewards.

Hutu nodded.

"Didn't you hear that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty had pardoned Li Guochang and others for the crimes?" Hebule had also found out that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty had relieved Li Guochang and others of the captured crimes. Although he was demoted, he was at least able to preserve it and held military positions. He led the Shatuo tribe to fight a war in Xichuan.

"Although the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty pardoned Li Guochang and others, he had not yet issued an order to pardon Li Keyong." Hutu replied immediately, "The envoy of the Tang Dynasty is the envoy to the capital Li Jing."

Hebule took a deep breath, and the five words "Zhen**" Li Jing put a lot of pressure on him. Although he was far away from Yinshan, he still knew the name of Li Jing, a newly emerging young general in the Tang Dynasty.

"The messenger is in my tent, how about I ask someone to come?"

Hebule pondered for a moment, and finally nodded. He might not care much about the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. But Li Jing must be treated carefully. Li Jing is now the governor of the town, Lu Long Army, Datong Army, and Andong Protectorate. Dengzhou and Liaodong are far away from him, but Lu Long Army and Datong Army are only a mountain away from him, especially Datong Army, which is opposite him. His other neighbor, Yu Guan, the governor of Zhenwu, is Li Jing's teacher.

At present, Li Jing's people are all south of Yinshan. Even the Hu tribes of Qibi, Helian, Sage, and Anqing are almost considered Li Jing's subordinates. If Li Jing really gets angry, if Li Jing sends troops out of the frontier, it will be a disaster.

The messenger pretending to be Hutu's personal soldiers arrived soon and both sides greeted each other.

"I wonder what Marshal Li means?" Hebule asked.

The secret envoy of the Knights smiled, "The Grand Marshal asked me to say hello to Mo Hedu on his behalf. He presented Li Keyong's head to the Grand Marshal. The Grand Marshal was willing to give 100,000 guan! Li Keyong's adopted son, wife, general, brother, etc., each of three thousand guan, and every life or death is fine. The other Shatu soldiers, each living ten guan, five guan, and a woman's family, children, etc., are two guan, regardless of life or death."

Hebule just calculated his mind and couldn't help but feel a little dry and his heart beat violently. If Li Ke could be caught in one go, he could at least exchange for 300,000 to 400,000 jin of money, even for Hebule, it would be a huge sum of money.

"If I destroy Li Keyong for Marshal Li, I will ask for 500,000 guan, and the money will be exchanged for salt, tea, cloth, and iron tools." Hebule no longer cared about his love for the charity with Li Guochang at that time.

"No problem, of course, you have to kill Li Keyong and wipe out his troops. My general's credit is the whole world, so don't worry. As for the money of my general, it is known that Dengzhou is the richest, so you don't have to worry about this."

"After the matter is completed, I hope Marshal Li will submit to the court and help me take the post of governor of Fengyinshan." Hebule made another request.

"As long as you send Li Keyong's head to Dengzhou, Li Dashui will naturally meet your requirements." The envoy agreed readily, without even hesitation.

Hebule's breathing was a little heavy, and finally he clenched his fists and said in a low voice: "Okay, one word is certain!"

"A word is determined, so don't express your good news to Jinghou!" After saying that, the envoy left.

Hu Tu smiled and said, "Li Guochang is just the courage of an ordinary man. Although he is now safe, it is no longer a concern. Only Li Keyong is extremely courageous and extremely fierce. I heard that three women came to Chilechuan recently. They are extremely beautiful. Many people wanted to make up their ideas before, but they all lost the guys to eat. I found out clearly that these three women were originally famous killers in Chang'an. It would be better to send someone to invite these three people to take action, kill Li Keyong first, and then send troops to destroy the Shatuo people."

He Bule shook his head, "If Li Keyong could be defeated by the assassin, Li Jing would have taken action himself. I guess they had used this method and failed. In my opinion, I will temporarily agree to Li Keyong to borrow food. Then wait until the sky clears, and ask him to hunt. During the hunting, he secretly set up an ambush and took the opportunity to kill him."

"A small measure is not a gentleman, but a non-toxic man is not a husband. It is Li Keyong who disrespects us first, and brother should not hesitate."

After pondering for a long time, Hebule finally made up his mind.

The next day, it rained and clear.

Hebule sent someone to spread the word to Li Keyong, telling him that he could borrow some of the food from Shatuo first, wait for the rest, and then ask him to hunt tomorrow.

Li Keyong summoned Kang Junli, Li Siyuan, Li Sien and Liu.

"I suddenly said that at yesterday's banquet, there was something that would not allow us to wait, and it was like expelling Shatuo. I expected that he would have the intention to plan for me. I refused to borrow food yesterday, and I was in a difficult situation today. But today I suddenly agreed to borrow food and invited me to hunt together tomorrow, for fear that he would be cheated. I had to guard against it." Liu knew what happened at yesterday's banquet, so he said with concern.

Li Siyuan agreed 100,000, "I think the previous episode was a reception banquet, but today it was a Hongmen banquet. Tomorrow I will bring three hundred elite riders around, so I can ensure that the spring is worry-free."

Kang Junli shook his head, "Don't lead troops there. If you lead troops to protect me, I'm afraid that the union will not be too cautious. It's better to just pretend to be sick and let me participate in the hunting on my behalf."

Liu said: "If the Tatars really have the intention to seek murder, then it is not advisable to stay here for a long time. Just leave at night tonight, and say that urgent matters have occurred in the ministry and need to go back early."

Li Keyong was in a dilemma, and suddenly the guards came to report. Someone asked for a meeting.

He brought the man up, but he was a 14 or 15-year-old boy named Zhang Wuluo. However, Li Keyong recognized this man, who was an Uighur. His father Zhang Junzheng defected to the Tatars in his early years, and now he is a general under the tent. In his early years, Li Keyong and Zhang Junzheng competed with archery together, and the two of them had some friendship.

"What's the urgent matter for the dirty lag?"

Zhang Wuluo gasped and said, "General, please leave quickly. I, Aye, accidentally heard Hebule and Hutu conspire. I will take the opportunity to murder the general when I hunt tomorrow. They have made a deal with Li Dashang of Tang, and will give your head to him, and exchange the lives of the Shatuo people for 500,000 ounces of money and the position of Yinshan Governor."

Li Keyong was shocked when he heard this. He hurriedly thanked Zhang Wuluo. He immediately ordered Li Siyuan to escort Liu and others first, and then took Kang Junli and others to leave.

"No!" A sudden objection came from the tent, but it was Liu. "Husband, the Tatars must have reached a deal with Li Jing. They escaped at this time. Even if they escape now, once the Tatars are dispatched, they will not work. Since this is the case, it is better to just start first."

"It's better to start first?" Li Keyong was stunned.

"This place is just a group of people from our headquarters, with 5,000 tents, a population of tens of thousands, and only a few thousand soldiers. We have a thousand elite cavalry, and it is not impossible to defeat them in such a sudden attack."

Li Keyong calmed down and thought that this was true. If he could win this battle, the captives would be of no benefit to Hutu and others. Even if he could not catch the two, he could still seize a large number of cattle, sheep, horses, food and grass, and even get a lot of population and troops to replenish them.

In the middle of the night, Li Keyong led a thousand Shatuo cavalry, and suddenly attacked the Tatar camp. The Tatars did not expect that the Shatuo people actually took action first. Quanbu was the first to take action tomorrow, so in order to prevent and alert the snake, the camp did not strengthen its defense, and everything was as usual. Who knew that Li Keyong took action first.

Li Keyong, Li Siyuan, Kang Junli, Li Cunzhang, Li Sien, Liu and others were all wearing armor and holding sharp weapons. One thousand men and horses rushed out and rushed straight to the central army. The Tatars were in chaos and could not stand it. Hu Tu and others could not resist it and fled because they were defeated.

Hebule, Hutu escaped with only a few hundred men. Li Keyong led his troops to rush to the middle of the night. By dawn, as many as two thousand Tatar soldiers abandoned their weapons and surrendered, and more than 20,000 were captured and a large number of food, grass and equipment were seized.

After the war, soldiers came to respond, and Zhang Junzheng came to surrender. Li Keyong went to see him happily, but saw that Zhang Junzheng had thrown away his armor and was shot in seven arrows and fell to the ground. When the military doctor woke up, he was almost out of control. Zhang Junzheng held Zhang Wuluo's hand and said to Li Keyong: "I found out that the matter was leaked by me. I killed my whole family. Only this son can survive. Now I will be entrusted to the Duke. I will take this son to take revenge in the future." After saying that, he died. Li Keyong buried Zhang Junzheng with great support, accepted Zhang Wuluo as his adopted son, and changed his name to Li Cunxin.
