A wolf-fang arrow, carrying a "war letter", came through the air and pierced the top of Gaochang City. Upon seeing this, the general guarding the city quickly removed the arrow and sent it to the palace on Pegasus.
Presented to Ju Zhisheng, the newly crowned King of Gaochang.
Ju Zhisheng couldn't make up his mind, so he quickly sent someone to summon Prime Minister Ju He. When he arrived, he took down the letter on the arrow.
"Xiangguo, look at this." When Ju Zhisheng said, he also saw the content of the letter. His face turned pale immediately, and then he said angrily: "How can the Tang people be so shameless? They actually said that this king colluded with the Turks to kill their fathers and seize power.
Such a confusion of right and wrong!”
Ju He was much calmer. He thought for a while and said seriously: "The person in charge of the Tang Army should have been changed."
"Um?"
"I once studied Li Ji and Hou Junji. Li Ji was cunning in his military use and very cautious. He would rather not do anything risky or uncertain than try it. But Hou Junji,
He was originally a man of bravery but no strategy, but after learning the art of war from Li Jing, he had some strategies, but could not change his nature of seeking great achievements. If the two of them had thought of this method, they would not have waited until night to do it. Therefore,
The old minister boldly guesses that the Zhuluhou of the Tang Dynasty has probably escaped from trouble and returned to the Tang army's camp!"
Ju Zhisheng was stunned, and instantly remembered what Li Mu had done to him, and his face turned pale: "Isn't that right? This is him, this is him! Why isn't he dead? Does God want to kill me?"
Ju He couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he saw Ju Zhisheng's appearance.
Ju He had long been dissatisfied with Ju Wentai and planned to establish a new master. Originally, he chose Ju Wentai's third son, but unfortunately he died under Usman's revenge. Now, in addition to Ju Wentai's four daughters, he only has Ju Zhisheng.
With this son, he had no choice at all.
Ju He gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, are you so afraid of that Zhuluhou?"
"The Prime Minister doesn't know, that man is terrible, he is extremely evil, he has no morals, no bottom line, he is not a human being! Have you ever heard of that incident? A censor impeached him, he poured excrement into other people's sedan chairs, and
"Inside the well" Ju Zhisheng retched, thinking of everything Wusman had done to him, with a painful look on his face, and said: "He has too many tricks, he takes pleasure in it, surrenders, admits defeat
, he won’t let it go either!”
Ju He saw that Ju Zhisheng had lost his mind, and once again felt that he had done something wrong, but the matter had come to this, there was no use regretting, and he could only go to the dark side. Ju He said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I feel that you
You should no longer be afraid, because there is no retreat. Now you should bravely face the enemy and face the Zhuluhou. The old minister has calculated the time. In just one or two days, the Turkic forward will definitely arrive. By then, we will attack the Tang army and win in one battle.
.I, Gaochang, have made great contributions to the Turks and deserve a certificate of nomination."
"But now the country has no good generals"
"That's why the king wants to lead the expedition himself!" Ju He said sternly: "The veteran will assist the king in ascending the throne, and will live and die with the king. The veteran will stand near the king. If he is defeated and dies, the veteran is willing to die in front of your majesty."
"This..." Ju Zhisheng didn't expect Ju He to say these words, and couldn't help but burst into tears of gratitude. He always knew that Ju He wanted to assist his third brother, and he also regarded Ju He as the biggest stumbling block for him to ascend to the throne.
Unexpectedly, he would be in this situation today. His biggest enemy in the past had become his biggest helper.
No matter how cowardly a person is, he can still burst out with courage when forced into a desperate situation. Ju Zhisheng took a deep breath and said: "Prime Minister, the matter has come to this, even if we use the mantis as a chariot, we have no choice. If we can survive this difficulty,
Gaochang Kingdom, Gu and Qing rule it together! Send the order, and at noon tomorrow, Gu invites Zhuluhou to have a drink at the city gate, and asks him if he dares to come!"
…
"Ask me if I dare to come?"
After a good night's sleep, Li Mu rubbed his eyes and looked at the letter Zhang Tianai opened for him, feeling a little dazed.
"What does this guy think he is?" Li Mu sneered and said: "Does he think he is a person? Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang? Empty City Strategy? Oh my God" Li Mu yawned and leaned on Zhang Tianai's shoulder, lazily
Asked: "Madam, do you think I should go see him?"
Zhang Tianai was a wife for the first time, and her mind was so confused that she couldn't think about these things. She pressed Li Mu's shoulders and said softly: "If you want to go, please go. If you don't want to go, then don't go. What do you want me to do?"
"Isn't this respect for the wife? The husband cannot beat the wife, so he is afraid of being beaten."
"You still say?" Zhang Tianai's almond-shaped eyes were raised. Li Mu quickly calmed down and shouted. Someone at the door answered: "What are your orders, Lord Marquis?"
"Is it Su Lie?"
"Humble job Su Lie."
"Have you done what I ordered last night? Has my unreliable brother made preparations for the required materials?"
"Tell the Marquis that Dingxiang City has sufficient reserves. Even if there is some shortage, they are constantly being transferred. Before the Marquis woke up in the morning, General Li had already arrived. He said that he would not disappoint the Marquis' expectations and promised to meet the deadline on time.
Completed.”
"Okay, this kid." Li Mu muttered and got up from the bed. Zhang Tianai gently helped him get dressed. Li Mu suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, although for Bai Qiaoqiao, Li Zhien and others, this was normal.
But Zhang Tianai did it, and Li Mu always felt like he would be beaten the next second.
After getting dressed, Li Mu came to the big tent. Hou Junji and Li Ji were already there. When the two saw the sword in Li Mu's hand, they were stunned for a moment and bowed down one after another. Li Mu quickly helped the two and three people up.
Sitting down, Li Mu said with a smile: "The purpose of taking Shang Fang's sword is not to restrain the two generals, but because of today's situation, there may be changes. Everything happened because of me, so I, Li Mu, will bear this responsibility."
Come on, if there is no bad reputation in the future, I will naturally make it clear to Your Majesty that I will not take the credit from you two."
After hearing this, Li Ji said displeasedly: "Li Mu, how can you and I talk like this when we are just a father and son? In your eyes, am I just a person who shirks his responsibilities?"
"You're talking about me, you're talking about me." Hou Junji quickly grabbed the words and thought to himself, you don't care. You don't have much responsibility anyway, but I can't do it. If Li Mu doesn't hold the tank, let me
I take the responsibility of poisoning the leader of Gaochang, how can I still do it?
Li Mu smiled and said: "Father, General Hou, let's not argue. Now that I have Shang Fang's sword in my hand, I would like to ask you two to cooperate with me as if your Majesty were here in person. What do you think? Li Mu doesn't
He is talented, but he will definitely use the fastest way to solve the current crisis, so as to prevent the other barbarians from being stupid and causing greater chaos."
