Li Mu hesitated for a moment, then knelt down to receive the order and said, "Your Majesty, Li Mu, receives the order."
The eunuch read in a long tone: "The edict says, I am glad to hear that the king's troops defeated the Tartars on the banks of the Tam River. You took advantage of the opportunity to pursue and destroy the leader of the Tartars. I am prepared to see the spirit of loyalty and righteousness. I am connected with the gods, but the enemy has prospered the country. You are the only one who relies on me."
.However, the art of war says that you should not pursue the enemy when you are poor. It is really a taboo for military strategists to go deep into Mobei alone. I hope you must not be greedy for merit and rush forward. It is better to start the army as soon as possible and receive rewards for meritorious service. In order to relieve the suffering of the officials and the people, I should regard you as a dear friend.
Take off your war robe and enjoy a peaceful and prosperous age. I am sending this personal note, thinking that it is appropriate to understand it. I hope that on the day of seeing the imperial edict, I will deliver the troops and horses to Cui Wang, the minister of the Ministry of War. Remember, remember, admire this."
The eunuch read the contents of the edict slowly and unhurriedly, and his tone of voice was cadenced, which was really pleasant to hear. However, the people around Li Mu present were all very angry and looked like they might not be able to bear it at any time and change the imperial edict.
Tear it to pieces with the eunuch...
Li Mu's face gradually darkened, and anger also rose in his chest. He really didn't expect that Chang'an City was so afraid of him that they would rather give up the God-given opportunity to completely annihilate the Western Turks and restore complete peace to the Western Regions.
Hand over the military power!
Who gave it to him? Cui Wang? To the Minister of War? I’ve never heard of it!
Unknowingly, after reading the imperial edict, Li Mu was still immersed in anger and could not extricate himself, and did not follow the routine at all.
Now the little eunuch was very embarrassed... He looked around at the people around him, all of them looking like they were about to eat people, especially Li Mu's livid face. He was so frightened that his two bones trembled, and there was a cold sweat on his forehead. There was no hint of a message.
The majesty of the imperial envoy? He was supported by someone and stood there. After hesitating for a while, he had to bite the bullet and timidly said: "Master, please accept the order."
Unexpectedly, Li Mu frowned and turned a deaf ear, still refusing to accept the order.
The little eunuch secretly complained in his heart. He was given a death order and must deliver the decree to Li Mu. Seeing that Li Mu refused to accept the decree, he had no choice but to step forward and hand the decree to Li Mu. If you refuse to accept it,
I'll hand it to you...
Just when the two sides were at a stalemate, Wusman rushed forward angrily, snatched the imperial edict from the little eunuch's hand, held it in his hand like a piece of waste paper, stared at him with round eyes, and asked angrily: "What on earth is this?"
Whose idea was it to let the Marquis hand over the military power when the army was about to win? What does this mean? If you can kill all the traitors but not kill them all, how can there be peace in the northern border of the Tang Dynasty?! Where is that Cui Wang?
Call him out, and I'll ask him what skills he has that can replace the Marquis!"
The little eunuch was suddenly deprived of the imperial edict, and he became even more at a loss. But he still had to say what he should say, so he could only face Usman's cannibalistic gaze and said with a cry: "We are just a talkative. Since this is the case,
The general has already received the order for the Lord, so please make preparations and return to the court according to the order. Cui Shilang is not here, and he is walking slower. Now I think we have just arrived in Dingxiang. Let's go back now.
You can see him, definitely!"
"Bah! I just accepted the order! What do you mean I accepted the order?!" Usman threw the Huang Ling to the ground, stepped on it a few times, then pulled out the sword and was about to kill the little eunuch!
"I'll kill you, this eunuch, and then let's see how you can return to the court with my master!"
The little eunuch was so frightened that he sat down on the ground and screamed: "I am the imperial envoy delivering the decree. Killing me would be tantamount to rebellion. General, think twice, do you want to be executed by the Nine Tribes?!" This guy was frightened.
Even though he was out of his mind, he still couldn't forget his identity. It can be seen that when the little eunuch came, he had already been told what to do in any situation and he didn't panic at all.
"I'll kill him!" Usman laughed ferociously and struck the little eunuch in the head with his sword.
"Stop!" Li Mu finally spoke. As soon as he spoke, Wusman's movements stopped abruptly. He was only a fist's width away from the little eunuch's neck.
"Humph!" Usman turned his head away angrily, and the eunuch collapsed on the ground like mud. Everyone suddenly felt a smell, and it turned out that the eunuch peed his pants in fear.
Li Mu supported his legs, stood up slowly, patted the grass blades and soil on his knees, and said without looking at the eunuch: "You have come a long way, you have suffered a lot along the way, why don't you go down and rest."
As for the military arrangements, we have our own arrangements, and I will let you know after we make a decision."
After Li Mu finished speaking, the guards immediately helped the eunuch out. As for the guards the eunuch brought with him, they were so frightened that they shrank into a ball like chaff. No one dared to rescue his father-in-law.
The eunuch wanted to say something more, but he saw the soldiers around him staring at him angrily, holding the hilts of their swords tightly, as if they wanted to chop themselves into pieces. After all, the little eunuch still cherished his life, and the words came to his lips.
, swallowed deeply.
When the eunuch's back disappeared, Wusman bent down to pick up the already dark imperial edict, walked to Li Mu, waved it in front of Li Mu and said: "I'm afraid this is not the emperor's idea. Lord Marquis, think twice, maybe something happened in Chang'an?"
At this time, Li Mu reached for the imperial edict, spread it out, glanced at it, and stood there with his hands behind his back, thoughtfully.
"Why is it that the Marquis failed to fulfill their wishes?" Usman roared: "How can the Marquis accept such a bird-like attitude? It would be better to...send the army southward, but..."
"Shut up, I don't want to hear such words anymore!" Li Mu's eyes were like lightning, and Wusman didn't dare to speak. Although he was a general of the Tang Dynasty now, he had no loyalty to the Tang Dynasty. His loyalty
, all of which are personal to Li Mu.
"Master Hou, do we still want to pursue him?"
Li Mu thought for a while and said: "Wait until I write a statement and ask the eunuch to take him back to Chang'an. Then divide 5,000 troops and ask him to take him back to Dingxiang. The remaining 10,000 people will continue the pursuit as planned!"
…
A few days later, they quickly returned to Chang'an. The cavalry led by Li Mu did not completely regroup. Instead, they followed Tong'e's trail and only brought back 5,000 people to Dingxiang.
Along with the news came a letter of apology written in Li Mu's handwriting, giving several reasons why he could not teach.
"You are seeking death, you are seeking death!" On the way into the palace, Fang Xuanling already knew that Li Mu was not in charge. He was filled with mixed feelings of joy and sorrow, but he secretly thought: 'Now even the gods can't save him!'
Maybe Li Shimin didn't have any grudges in his heart before this incident, but Li Mu didn't respect the imperial edict, which in itself was a big deal! "I'll kill him!" Usman laughed ferociously and struck the little eunuch in the head with his sword.
"Stop!" Li Mu finally spoke. As soon as he spoke, Wusman's movements stopped abruptly. He was only a fist's width away from the little eunuch's neck.

Standing there with his hands behind his hands, deep in thought.
