RHE - Chapter 1978: Zhang Shougui Vomits Blood!

Scenes from the Youzhou war flashed through Zhang Shougui's mind in a rapid slideshow.

Zhang Shougui began to think back to that battle.

Yeon Gaesomun had personally taken part in the battle, and when the battle was at its most dire, the group of hastily recruited Hu had charged into the battlefield like a pack of wolves.

With an almost sacrificial attitude, they exchanged their lives one for one, tearing a hole in Yeon Gaesomun's center defense line and reversing the battle.

In truth, he had noticed these things some time ago, but at that time, the war had just ended, his Hu son had achieved a tremendous feat, and Zhang Shougui did not suspect him, so he put his concerns aside.

Not only that, as he thought more and more about it, the number of suspicious points began to increase.
