The smoke of the war darkened the sky.

Hedong Shatuo people camp, cowhide tent.

"The people of King Shatuo, please come to the Maple Forest Valley tonight."

No matter how many times I read it, these two sentences are still the same as when I first saw it, Li Cunzhang found this well-rolled sheepskin in the armor, but he didn't know where the letter came from, and he didn't know who sent it. There was no signature, no seal, no seal, and the handwriting was unfamiliar. He put the letter on his chest and whispered to himself, "The people of King Shatuo, please come to the Maple Valley tonight. ”

What does this mean exactly?

Li Cunzhang's first reaction was that the letter might have been quietly sent by Li Siyuan's people.

Since the disappearance of the King of Jin for a long time, Li Siyuan put the Marquis of Du Yu under house arrest to succeed him as the commander, and reached a series of truce agreements with Li Jing. At the beginning, the soldiers of the Yizhou Shatuobu Army who were isolated in Hebei have always been unclear about this attitude. Later, he accepted Li Jing's request for him to be crowned the king of Yanwang County, the envoy of Yanmen Jiedu and other officials, and Li Sizhao, the head of the generals of Yizhou, also immediately accepted Li Jing's proposal, accepted Li Jing's request to the court for him to be crowned the envoy of Datong Jiedu and the king of Datong County, and withdrew from Yizhou and gave Yizhou to Li Jing.

Li Siyuan and Li Sizhao, both of whom are the sons of King Yi of Jin, Li Siyuan was originally the commander of the Fan Han and Ma Bu Army, and Li Sizhao was originally the commander of the Yanei. Li Siyuan concurrently served as the commander of the Hengchong Capital, and Li Sizhao concurrently served as the commander of the Tielin Army. Both of them are rare talents in Shatuo's younger generation.

But now, there is news of King Jin's death outside. Although the king of Jin has a son. But too young. The rest of the brothers were either captured or killed in battle, and there was no one to succeed them. The most promising to inherit the throne of Shatuo are Li Sizhao and Li Siyuan. And now these two people have a group standing behind them.

Who will become the new Shatuo King has been the most sensitive topic for a while.

One mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, and it is impossible for the Shatuo tribe to have two kings. Between Li Sizhao and Li Siyuan, only one person can win.

In this southern expedition, Shatuo had 50,000 soldiers and horses. However, it was also divided into two parts, left and right, and did not belong to each other, which further aggravated the division of Shatuo.

Li Cunzhang is also a veteran of Shatuo, and he is even the earliest among the righteous sons used by Li Ke. However, the Shatuo people compete for the throne, and they will not be in order of eldest and youngest, just like Li Keyong has his own son, but no one will support them to inherit the throne now. Sha Tuo's situation is not good, and Sha Tuo needs a person with prestige and ability to lead Sha Tuo.

In private, he felt that Li Siyuan was actually slightly stronger than Li Sizhao, especially when Li Siyuan led his troops and horses to defeat the three Datong tribes this time. And the dazzling record of capturing Datong Yunshuo and the two states allowed him to win a lot of extra points. It's just that now he is in Li Sizhao's camp. The ass determines the head.

Perhaps Li Siyuan wanted to avoid internal strife and splitting, hoping to win over the generals of the Yizhou Shatuo Army in this way. After all, among the tens of thousands of Yizhou soldiers, the ones who can really speak are still generals at all levels. Especially a high-ranking general like him.

Should he give the letter to Li Sizhao to prove that he is firmly on his side?

He pinched his chin uneasily, he had a big beard, he cherished his beard very much, he usually repaired it often, and even when it was cold, he had to wear a mustache, and he did not forget to protect it when he slept. It is said that Li Cunzhang's personality is a little indecisive, otherwise with his qualifications as a seventh general in the clouds, he would not be under Li Siyuan and Li Sizhao now. And he still cherishes his feathers too much, and he is afraid of tigers and wolves when he does things, and several times before, Li Keyong has also given him the opportunity to lead the troops alone to block one side, but every time he messes things up.

"It must be Li Siyuan who is trying to win over people."

Li Cunzhang secretly guessed, but Li Siyuan did not participate in the southbound Hedong coalition army this time, and the commander of the Yanmen Shatuo Army was Li Cunjin, who was also the son of King Yi of Jin, but his prestige in the army was far inferior to him. The Yanmen Army now lacks generals, in addition to Li Siyuan, the top generals in the lower row are Li Cunjin, Cheng Huaiyi and others. Cheng Huaiyi guarded the Thai Opera Pass, and Li Siyuan personally sat in Yunzhou.

"The people of King Shatuo, please come to the Maple Forest Valley tonight."

But will this be Li Sizhao's temptation?

Although Li Sizhao is very short, he should not be underestimated. Every time the battle array charged, this short guy always bravely rushed to the front line. And like Li Siyuan, he is very calm. And the restraint is very strong, originally he loved to drink, but once King Jin said that drinking is easy to make mistakes, so let him drink less. As a result, he simply quit and never drank again.

Although the relationship between Li Sizhao and Li Siyuan is actually the best among the righteous sons of King Jin. But for the sake of Shatuo's throne, his own brothers can turn against him, let alone just righteous brothers.

Perhaps this is a trap that has been carefully arranged to test the reaction of the generals. Speaking of which, among the generals in Yizhou, it seems that he is the one who can really threaten Li Sizhao. Other generals, such as Li Sien, Li Siben, etc., are far inferior to Li Sizhao's prestige. If he really went to the Maple Forest Valley, would he find Li Sizhao sitting quietly in the valley, holding the wolf's tooth sword in his hand, squinting at his small eyes, waiting for him to throw himself into the net? On both sides of the valley, maybe there were 500 axes or archers in ambush?

"The people of King Shatuo, please come to the Maple Forest Valley tonight."

There was a sound of footsteps, and he hurriedly stuffed the letter into his armor and patted it again. Fortunately, it was only a civilian in the auxiliary barracks who came in, "What's the matter?" He asked aloud.

"The general wants a horse tonight?"

"Well, you prepare the horses first, feed them more, I may have to patrol the night at night." In fact, he didn't have to be on duty tonight at all, but he still said it, maybe he still wanted to go to Maple Grove Valley in his heart.

"It's good."

Li Cunzhang suddenly looked at this man with some suspicion, why hadn't he seen this person before? Was it a letter from him? Or is he someone sent by Li Sizhao to spy on him? I heard that many feudal towns now have that kind of spy and spy, for example, Li Jing, the king of Qin, has a special supervision office, and it is said that there are as many as nine bureaus below, which are divided into different categories and perform their own duties. There are also Chazi in Huainan Town, the troubleseeker in Xichuan Town, and so on. Maybe this person is Li Sizhao's spy, or he is directly the person sent by Siyuan.

Did he find the letter?

Could it be that he put the letter under his pillow? It's unlikely, this man seems to be honest, and it is impossible to leave the matter of sending secret letters to such a person. In fact, Li Cunzhang had never seen this person before, but he felt that he seemed to be a little familiar.

After the man bent down and dismissed, Li Cunzhang stood behind the tent curtain and watched him go away. This person didn't seem to be suspicious on the surface, but he always felt that there was something special in his eyes when he left, presumably he was in a hurry to go back and report to Li Cunjin at this time, or he was in a hurry to report to Li Sizhao.

Suddenly, he was convinced that this man must be a secret agent.

Alone with him, he immediately took out the letter and threw it into the brazier, watching as the parchment curled up and blackened, and at last turned white ash flew with the black smoke and then shattered into ashes.

"The people of King Shatuo, please come to the Maple Forest Valley tonight."

He moved to the tent, and saw a group of Shatuo cavalry riding slowly outside the tent, and the knights on the horses were wearing black armor, dyed golden by the yellow sun. Further ahead of this group of cavalry, there was a wilderness, and through that wilderness, the shadowy figures of the other party were moving, and there was the camp of the Shatuo army in Yanmen Town.

Maple Grove Valley, on the other hand, was to the south, just south of the two camps, about far from both sides.

Suddenly, the figure of the man appeared in Li Cunzhang's mind again. It's just that this time this man is not a man in a short brown robe in his mind, but a black iron armor with a layer of black chain mail, a black horned iron helmet, riding a war horse in a black vest, and holding a snow bright scimitar in his hand.

He couldn't remember his name, but in his mind, the images of the man and the crow soldier overlapped more and more, until they coincided perfectly.

There is really something wrong with this man, he is actually a crow army.

After discovering the other party's true identity, Li Cunzhang was not the slightest bit happy.

Instead, he was completely in a state of even greater confusion.

Li Siyuan's personal guard tooth soldiers are rampage capital, and Li Sizhao's personal guard teeth soldiers are Tielin Army.

None of their own soldiers were black crow soldiers, and in fact, neither of them had commanded black crow soldiers, because black crow soldiers had always been Li Ke's tooth soldiers, even if Li Sizhao was the commander of the Yanei Capital, he had never commanded this army and horses.

Even if Li Keyong died in battle, neither Li Sizhao nor Li Siyuan inherited this army.

Although Yanmen Town and Datong Town have now rebuilt a crow army, they are not the original one.

The original crow army suffered heavy casualties in several wars, and the last was in the battle of Zhigu Pass, and the last 3,000 crow army died out with Li Keyong.

Now the man in the disguise of the black crow soldier who suddenly appeared, he is definitely a real crow army, not any of the ones formed by Li Sizhao and Li Siyuan.

A thought suddenly sprung up in Li Cunzhang's heart, could it be that this black crow soldier was following King Jin? Is the king of Shatuo among the people of King Shatuo in that letter representing the king of Jin? Could it be that Li Keyong, the king of Jin, is not dead, not only is he not dead, but he suddenly appeared here and secretly contacted himself?

He leaned against his shield, his mind wandering.

Who awaits him in Maple Grove Valley?

Li Cunjin, Li Sizhao, Li Keyong? (To be continued......)
