Li Xiu agreed to cooperate with Chen Mu, and shouted to the soldiers below to tell them not to be restless.

Because when Chen Mu rushed up just now, someone had already seen the fight on the high platform, and in an instant, there was a sound of drawing a knife from the audience.

Zhang Cripple and Zhang Han led thirty people to block the lookout ladder, and the two groups glared angrily.

After Li Xiu shouted, everyone slowly withdrew their knives, but the atmosphere below was still tense.

Li Xiu handed over the tiger talisman, token, and arrow to Chen Mu.

Chen Mu smiled and said: "Those who know the times are Junjie. You continue to stay on the lookout, and if the enemy does attack the city, we will fight side by side. ”

In fact, Chen Mu wanted to tie up Li Xiu even more, or even kill him.

But now there is no rope around him, and he still needs to be watched by someone to tie him up, at this time, Chen Mu felt that his cronies around him were too few to do things, so he simply didn't tie him up. Chen Mu thought that Li Xiu would not go back on his word, because Li Xiu was afraid of death. Chen Mu did not kill Li Xiu, not because the so-called co-assisted Kong Xiaoxian took care of each other, but after Tang Hong's death, "Kong Xiaoxian" needed a "person around Tang Hong". Li Xiu can survive and can "prove" a lot of things.

Li Xiu nodded.

Chen Mu got off the lookout with the letter in his hand, came to the centurion, and said, "Now, I am the supreme commander of the Third Brigade, and everyone listens to me. ”

The centurion hesitated.

Li Xiu shouted on stage: "Listen to him! This is Captain Tang's arrangement! ”

The centurion fell to one knee and commanded, "Whoa! ”

Chen Mu said: "From now on, you pull the team to the west and guard the west gate instead of the inspection battalion." But don't go up the wall yet, but stay on the road. I will send Zhang Han to be in charge of Ximen Defense, when he will let you go up, you will go up again. ”

"Whoa!" The centurion took the order and went.

"Zhang Han, you go back to the West Gate and leave a team in the inspection camp. But the team also had to withdraw to the horse road. Chen Mu stared at Zhang Han's eyes: "Do you understand my intention for this arrangement?" ”

Zhang Han bowed: "Understood." ”

Chen Mu grabbed Zhang Han's wrist and said in a low voice: "Except for Kong Xiaoxian, no one will save him." Kong Xiaodong can't either. ”

Zhang Han swore an oath: "Don't worry, Chen Du, this matter is messed up, you want my head!" ”

Zhang Han left, Chen Mu turned around: "Cripple, you go and call Lu Han down for me, let's go to the north gate together." ”

"Whoa!" The cripple trotted away.

Chen Mu suddenly found that the lame's leg was not as lame as before.

Chen Mu had a feeling in his heart that Zhang Youtian was pretending to be lame. He did have a serious scar on his leg, but it didn't make him limp to walk.

Why did he pretend to be lame and pretend he didn't know how to read?

This problem is not something that should be considered now, so when the lame man ran over with Lu Han, Chen Mu led the team to quickly approach the northern city.

Lu Han didn't know what was going on and looked a little panicked.

"Don't panic." Chen Mu raised the Tiger Talisman of the Third Brigade in his hand: "Now I appoint you as the centurion, replacing Sun Tingyu, and being responsible for the defense of the North City Gate." ”

Lu Han was stunned: "I'm worried that Sun Tingyu won't give up his position." ”

"Hehe," Chen Mu smiled and said, "I'll go with you." ”

Chen Mu led Zhang Cripple, Lu Han and the two teams to the north city gate and walked directly onto the horse road.

Sun Tingyu turned his head to look down, and asked suspiciously: "Chen Du, you are not guarding at the West Gate, what are you bringing people to me for?" ”

Chen Mu walked to the bend of the road, secretly pulled out the barrier knife, and while turning around, he hid the knife behind him, and said with a smile: "As the patrol of the third brigade, I don't worry about the city defense, so come and have a look." ”

Sun Tingyu looked suspicious.

Chen Mu climbed to the top of the city, walked towards Sun Tingyu, raised his other hand, and showed the tiger talisman, which was pressed against the tip of Sun Tingyu's nose, blocking his vision.

"Sun Tingyu, now I order you to take your team down."

"How can the Tiger Talisman be ...... you?"

"Poof" a knife.

As soon as Sun Tingyu tilted his head, the knife pierced through his left eye and pierced through the back of his head.

Chen Mu's knife was so fast that it was impossible to see.

Sun Tingyu, who had fourth-grade combat power, was pierced through his head without any reaction.

Chen Mu didn't pull out the knife, but just let go. Sun Tingyu's body fell softly.

Sun Tingyu's soldiers were shocked.

Chen Mu held up the tiger talisman and said, "On the orders of Lieutenant Tang Hongdu, I will take over the command of the Third Brigade. Sun Tingyu fornicated with Hungary and betrayed the country to seek glory, and now the evidence is conclusive, so he was corrected by me on the spot. This matter has nothing to do with you, so there is no need to panic. In addition, I will explain to Captain Hong about the beheading of Sun Tingyu, and your task is still to protect Jiuquan City, serve the country, and serve the nation. Protecting the country is also protecting your own home, protecting your parents, wives, children, brothers and sisters from being humiliated and miserated! ”

In Chen Mu's view, "morality" is a tool that can be used, and it is now being used by him.

No matter what Chen Mu did before, as long as it is basically logical, and finally occupies the moral high ground and mobilizes everyone's emotions, then these soldiers who have lived under the Liang Dynasty's ritual system since childhood will greatly reduce their suspicion of Chen Mu.

And some people with relatively simple minds will really be completely mobilized emotionally, for example, not far away, two soldiers raised their arms and shouted: "War is the beam!" Fight for my family! ”

It seems that these two sentences are the slogans of the Shence Army, and soon after, many people shouted along with them.

In fact, this situation was not in Chen Mu's consideration, he didn't expect that the Liang Dynasty's military mood would be so easy to mobilize, and it was not as troublesome as engaging in team building. After all, in the era before the time, people were not as stupid as the people of the Liang Dynasty. In any era, the way of thinking of smart people is actually similar, and those who can better reflect the characteristics of the times are actually fools. Fools, on the other hand, often account for eighty percent of the total population.

After occupying the north gate, Chen Mu suddenly changed his plan, he felt that Lu Han was too nervous and overwhelmed by the heavy responsibility, so he asked the cripple to stay and guard the north gate:

"Cripple, this matter must be done in secret, so no one can be left in the city. Let all the soldiers stand on the road, and if the enemy is attacking the city against the ladder, let them come up at that time. ”

"I understand, I'm also a qi practitioner, and one person can pull the hanging basket." The cripple nodded.

Chen Mu felt that there was no problem, and was just about to lead people away, but the lame man grabbed Chen Mu and asked, "If Tang Hong came back by himself when you just left, what should I do?" What should Tang Hong do if he comes back with Kong Xiaoxian and Kong Xiaodong? What if they run separately? ”

It seems that the cripple is also a little nervous, and he proposes several small probability events in a row. In the face of so many possible contingencies, the best thing to do is to see the move.

To do great things, it is impossible not to take risks.

Especially when the risk is uncontrollable, don't try to control the risk in vain.

As long as you control what you can control, the rest is left to fate.

Bo is a high probability. The probability is high enough, Chen Mu feels that he can start.

In order to appease the lame, Chen Mudao:

"They will come back together, and they will run in one direction, and one will never run to the west gate and the other to the north gate. Because the Kong brothers knew that Tang Hong had a way to return to the city. But we only saved Kong Xiaoxian. As for Kong Xiaodong's ......, if he is kept, it will actually be an obstacle for Kong Xiaoxian. ”

Cripple: "What do you mean?" ”
