In order to deal with Cao Sui's pressing step by step, Chen Mu designed multiple sets of plans, and tried to defend as well as possible in all aspects.

But blindly defending can't solve the problem, before defending, Chen Mu has already thought of a means of counterattack.

Among them, the feed factory is only Chen Mu's first target, and there are more means left for Cao Sui in the future.

Chen Mu felt that Cao Su was not a stupid opponent, and Chen Mu did not plan to release his killer weapon until he fully understood the true intentions of the other party.

He hopes to make his opponent feel his strength through a few low-level encounters to achieve the goal of making his opponent retreat.

——

It takes time to get things done, especially when you play defensive battles.

People who knew Chen Mu's plan were anxious for him. But Chen Mu himself didn't seem to be in a hurry. When you have nothing to do, go to the secret sapper factory and send some food and money. He also said to the sappers who were enclosed that after the development of the "incense machine", you will get double the military salary in three years, and other soldiers have a five-year service period, and you have three years. After more than three years, if you still want to stay, you will be promoted.

The sappers were full of energy.

Chen Mu had just returned from the arsenal and met the cripple head-on.

The lame man put his hands behind his back, his face was a little weird, gave Chen Mu a look, and spoke privately.

"Gundam is dead."

The cripple only said four words, but it was like a lightning bolt passing in front of Chen Mu's forehead.

Chen Mu's face stiffened, staring at the crippled man: "How did you die?" ”

Chen Mu sent Gao Zhuang and Gao Gao brothers to investigate Zhong Lixiang's affairs, and by the way, to check the lame killer organization, and now the lame man ran over and told Chen Mu that Gao Gao was dead, which inevitably made Chen Mu suspicious in his heart.

Faced with Chen Mu's question, the cripple didn't speak.

Chen Mu was also silent.

After a while, Gao Zhuang was sent in, he was also very badly injured, his face was blue, and his lips were chapped.

The lame man put his hands behind his back and said condescendingly to Gao Zhuang: "Your brother is loyal, but he is a little inadequate. ”

Turning to Chen Mudao:

"You asked them to keep an eye on Cao Sui, but they were targeted by the killer I arranged. Those killers were secretly arranged by me to Cao Sui's side, and they were ostensibly used by Cao Sui, but they were actually our secret stakes. The Gao brothers' whereabouts were discovered by Cao Sui's subordinates and told Cao Sui, who ordered the killers to kill them. Nowadays, it is not easy to leave you a living mouth. Maybe because of this action, Cao Sui was suspicious of my secret stake. In that case, our losses would be too great. ”

It seems that there is a misunderstanding here.

The surviving Gao Zhuang did not tell the cripple his true purpose, and the cripple did not expect that the Gao brothers' killer group would find out about him and Cao Su.

Chen Mu squatted down and comforted Gao Zhuang for a few words, and then sent someone to lift Gao Zhuang down so that he could recuperate from his injuries.

"Why didn't you tell me in advance about your arrangement?" Chen Mu turned around and sat down with a shake of the sleeves of his robe.

The cripple sat across from him: "I hinted at you, but you didn't agree." So I did it myself. ”

Chen Mu knocked on the table: "Then you should tell me more!" ”

The air in the room was tense.

Neither of them spoke afterwards.

Hanxiang was in the next room, heard the conversation between her father and Chen Mu, her hand clenched, bit her lip, boiled a pot of tea and brought it in.

Then she sat down in the house, poured tea for the two of them, and then sat aside, not intending to leave. But she didn't speak.

Chen Mu said: "Tell me all your plans." ”

The cripple said: "I don't think you will agree, does it make sense to say it?" ”

Chen Mu asked rhetorically: "Do you think I don't have a killer weapon to deal with Cao Su?" ”

The cripple smiled bitterly: "Then you should tell me." ”

Chen Mu said: "If I tell you, I'm worried that you will do it yourself without my permission." Although Cao Song competes with us, it is not yet to the point of life and death. Your move goes straight to the heart, and you always want the other party's life. You feed so many killers, aren't you afraid of being eaten by killers one day? ”

The cripple shook his head: "I'm so old, I don't have a lot of time like you." I'm not afraid of risk now, I'm afraid that it will take too long. I don't want you to stay in Dunhuang forever. Even if you build Dunhuang into a second Luoyang, it makes no sense. Besides, you can't build it. How many big cities are near Luoyang, and then look at Dunhuang. I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that it's poor. In this place, even if you are made emperor, what is the point? ”

Chen Mu frowned: "What do you want to do, I think you are a very strange person, you are not good at gambling, not lustful, not good for money, not good for power, but you always like to make things bigger, what good is this for you?" ”

"I want you to be emperor."

"I am the emperor, what does it have to do with you?"

"You can help me kill someone."

"Kill whom?"

"All those with the surname Meng, and all those with the surname Tang, they all deserve to die!"

When Hanxiang heard her father's words, she accidentally knocked over the teacup to the ground, and she didn't know if she did it on purpose or was frightened by her father's words.

When the cripple said these words, he didn't shy away from his daughter, as if he wanted to let her know on purpose.

Chen Mu nodded helplessly: "I think I have a lot of ambition, but it's still much worse than you." I still don't understand why you're doing this. Do you want to kill Cao Sui and force me to oppose the imperial court? With my me, Dunhuang, there are only more than 30,000 people in the whole city, and even if all the people are soldiers, whether I can take Jiuquan is a question. I really don't know what you think, it's just whimsical! ”

The cripple doesn't speak.

The more Chen Mu thought about it, the more angry he became, and he stood up angrily: "Do you think that the Eighth Division of Shence is mine?" Wang Caotian, Zhen Badao, Shi Jinchong, these three people put me in the air. The three of them don't give me a fight, and there is only one temporary fourth brigade left under my command. You tell me who you can beat! ”

The cripple looked up: "I don't think you should be idle now." You should take your troops out to fight and unify the small countries around you, so that you have the strength to fight the Hexi Corridor. The Sogdians are only the land of three states, and they all dare to fight with the Liang Dynasty, why don't you dare. The Shence army is only 150,000 soldiers, and if I lead the troops, 100,000 is enough to defeat them 150,000. ”

"Then you should be the emperor yourself, why bother to let me be?" Chen Mu's forehead was a little red: "You have such a great ability, you are the best in the world." Everyone else eats dry food! ”

The cripple got up angrily: "I knew it was useless to tell you." But I think you'll change your mind. I told you a long time ago that the gate valve is deep. You are willing to be a slave to the Tang Clan, and sooner or later you will regret it. ”

Chen Mu was furious: "Dead lame, you call me a slave?" How do you know I have no ambitions! It's just that I'm going to follow you in a different way. When I have saved enough money, I will have my own troops. I'm going to produce artillery. Once this kind of thing is produced, I have an overwhelming military advantage. Fight the fewest battles and you can bring your opponent to their knees. Without a fight, I can create a unified dynasty. ”

"Artillery?" The lame man was stunned.

Chen Mu waved his hand and said, "Don't ask, now I tell you, you can't get it." Also, I don't expect to be used in the Divine Army. Stretching out his hand, he said, "When my artillery is successfully developed, a city gate like Dunhuang City will be equivalent to nothing for me." ”
