Li Mu stood on the roof and saw with his own eyes how the Tang cavalry attacked the city. He saw thousands of cavalry, each carrying a bag of sand and throwing it under the city wall. In an instant, a small earth mountain was built, and the army moved directly along the earth mountain.
Entering the city, everything was done in one go. Li Mu felt cold sweat break out from behind. He really couldn't underestimate the ancients. If Princess Yicheng had used this tactic during the day, Dingxiang City would no longer be an empty city, but a dead city.
. More than 200 young men and more than 300 women and children, how can they resist more than a thousand cavalry, they will all be killed by the sword.
The Uighurs in the city were already panicking. Seeing the Tang cavalry descending like divine soldiers from the sky, they had no idea of ​​resistance and knelt on the ground one by one begging for mercy. But it was no use. The Tang soldiers who rushed into the city thought that
This group of Uighurs had massacred the city. In order to avenge the people in the city, they raised their knives and dropped them without sparing anyone. Heads were rolling all over the ground. Soon the city was filled with blood. Thousands of Uighur soldiers except those who started from the secret passage
The few who escaped were all beheaded, and gold and silver were scattered on the ground. Li Mu squatted on the roof and grinned. Is this the strength of the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty? Beheading people on horseback is like chopping melons and vegetables.
It's not that easy for a chicken... Li Mu touched his itchy neck and thought to himself, luckily he traveled through time and became a Tang Dynasty person. If he had traveled through time and became a Turkic person, it would be really difficult to mix in this era.
"who!"
There was a sudden shout, and Li Mu was so frightened that he almost rolled down the room. A sharp-eyed Tang soldier noticed him, and immediately aimed a dozen bows and arrows at him. Li Mu said hurriedly: "Don't shoot, I am one of my own, I am going to Dingxiang."
County Magistrate Li Mu, are you a subordinate of General Li Ji?"
"Are you the Prime Minister of Dingxiangcheng County?" Tang Bing looked very cautious. He did not put down his bow and arrow, but still pointed at Li Mu and said, "Come down first, don't play any tricks!"
Li Mu quickly came down from the room. Two Tang soldiers approached Li Mu with torches. They looked at Li Mu and saw that he did not look like a foreigner, but they still did not put down their guard. After all, this was the only one alive in Dingxiang City at this time. Who knew who he was?
what happened.
"I'll tie him up first, and then we'll interrogate him again when the general arrives!"
"?" Li Mu was a little panicked. He was worried that the jade seal in his arms would be taken away, and his work would be in vain. He said: "Why are you kidnapping me? I am the official of the imperial court, the Prime Minister of Dingxiang County! You are the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.
, is there any reason to tie up a court official without reason? Are you going to rebel?"
"You are quite articulate!" Tang Bing, who had just spoken, came over and asked Li Mu: "You said you are the county magistrate, you are the county magistrate? How can we believe you? Besides, the whole city has disappeared, and you are the only one here.
There must be something fishy here! Someone, tie him up for me!"
"Let's see who dares!" Li Mu shouted angrily, shouting at the top of his lungs: "General, someone is going to rebel, and they want to kidnap the court official..."
"What are you shouting!"
"I'm going to shout! I'm going to shout!"
"Quiet, the general has arrived!" While the two were shouting, a voice suddenly came from not far away. Li Mu quickly looked around and saw a middle-aged man walking over surrounded by several soldiers. Li Mu observed that this person's popularity was calm.
, and his face was very similar to Li Siwen, so he couldn't recognize it as Li Ji, so he hurried forward. A group of Tang soldiers quickly stopped him, and put a dozen knives on his neck at the same time.
Li Mu did not dare to move, so he could only shout, "General, I am Li Mu!"
"Li Mu?" When Li Ji heard the familiar name, he walked closer, looked at Li Mu and said, "Are you Li Mu? Then tell me, what have you done?"
"I sent a letter to General Li Jing, and I was retained by Li Siwen as the county magistrate. I also brewed 'Three Cups of Pour'. General, I am really Li Mu!"
Everything was in order. Li Ji waved his hand and Tang Bing put away his sword. Li Ji came closer and asked: "Li Mu, why are you here? Where is Li Siwen now? Where are the people in the city?!"
Li Mu hurriedly recounted the cause and effect, starting from receiving the decree from Chang'an, to how he learned the news and returned to Dingxiang, how he organized the people in the city to resist, how he discovered the secret passage, arranged for the people to evacuate, and finally set fire to the city and knocked out Li Siwen.
He told Li Ji everything about why he stayed after letting them escape.
After hearing this, Li Ji breathed a sigh of relief and was so angry that his teeth itched. He was glad that his son was not dead, but he was also worried about his son's death. What's so good about guarding a broken city? He sent a letter in advance just to let Li Siwen
He made arrangements in advance and took the people to a safe place. Who would have thought that he would want to occupy the city and defend it to death!
He didn't have a single soldier and only had a few hundred young men to resist the attack of more than a thousand cavalry? How stupid was this! But he was very pleased that his son did not retreat. At least Li Ji's son was not a coward and dared to
Facing a strong enemy, Li Ji always felt that Li Siwen had no talent and wanted him to become a rich man, but now it seems that he still has merit.
Li Ji patted Li Mu on the shoulder and said: "You have dealt with the series of incidents very well. You are brave and resourceful, which is very rare at your age. You can rest for now, and when the battlefield is cleared, you will be together."
I'll go back to the camp together. I'll see Your Majesty in person later, and I'll ask for credit for you."
"Siwen's side..."
"I will send a team of people to look for you, don't worry."
Li Mu's mind changed rapidly. At this time, the matter of Yuxi has not yet been revealed. He could just say that he killed Princess Yicheng, but not about Yuxi. When he arrives in Chang'an someday, he will take out the Yuxi and present it to Li Shimin. But doing so will definitely
This will make Li Ji feel that he is a snob and only has utilitarian eyes. If this creates a gap and is looked down upon by him, it seems a bit uneconomical. After all, whether it is the wine-making business or future development, Li Ji
With such thick legs, you still have to hug him. As a time traveler, this is good. He knows some information in advance. Li Mu doesn't know much about the history of the Tang Dynasty. Most of it comes from TV series, but this is enough. "
It was mentioned in "The Legend of Wu Meiniang" that until Li Zhi became the emperor, Li Ji was still a big boss in the military, and the generals who were at the same time as him at that time had long gone. They were dead and demoted.
, only his old tree is evergreen, wouldn't he be a fool if he didn't hug his thigh?
That's all! Let's say it! Li Mu is betting on Li Ji's character, betting that he won't steal the credit. If he does, then give it to him. Such a big favor will be repaid sooner or later.
"General, I have one more thing to do."
"Is there anything else?" Li Ji frowned slightly and said, "Tell me more."
Li Mu said seriously: "I can only tell you this matter."
"Oh?" Li Ji's heart moved slightly, and he waved his hand to retreat. Li Mu led Li Ji into the nearby yard, closed the door, took out the brocade box from his arms, held it in front of Li Ji with both hands, and said, "General, look
What's this!"
Li Ji reached out and opened the brocade box. He only took one look at it and then closed the brocade box with a snap.
