Chapter 667 - All are busy
"What are you going to do?"
"Cut through the mess with a quick knife!"
……
Noon.
Ju Zhisheng put on the crown of King Gaochang and sat on the city gate, waiting for Li Mu to come over and 'drink' with him.
From yesterday to today, he has never even closed his eyes, and has been thinking about how to answer Li Mu. He wanted to overcome his fear of Li Mu, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt afraid, but as the time approached, Ju Zhisheng suddenly found that he was no longer afraid, this was like a person who was about to be executed, telling him that when he was going to die, he was afraid of death, but at that moment, all the fear disappeared.
However, when the time came, Li Mu did not go to the appointment.
This made Ju Zhisheng mention the energy, and it was gone in an instant, just like the feeling of waving a punch on cotton, as the prince of Gaochang, Ju Zhisheng can be regarded as having read poetry and books since he was a child, and he has never found a book that records that a person like Li Mu who has no etiquette rules, and is still a military marquis, and has no etiquette to respect his opponent?
Just when he thought that Li Mu would not come, between the wind and sand in the distance, a team of people and horses slowly walked over. Looking closely, you can see that under the protection of a group of cavalry, a small car is slowly coming, and there is a man in white sitting on the top of the car, wearing a scarf and holding a feather fan.
Although I didn't see a shadow, but I didn't run away, this must be Li Mu.
Ju Zhisheng instantly became energetic, and said to Ju He next to him: "Prime Minister, Li Mu has a plan, he is only more than 100 people here, let's follow the plan later, as long as Li Mu is caught, it will not be a problem to drag it out for three or five days, and when the Turkic army arrives, the Tang Dynasty will only have these 350,000 people who will definitely not be able to withstand it, and the revenge of the first king will be avenged!" ”
Ju He nodded slowly, turned around and went to make arrangements.
Ju Zhisheng stabilized his mind, his eyes were fixed on Li Mu, waiting for him to come over. But I don't know if it's a psychological effect, the more he thinks that Li Mu can come over quickly, Li Mu seems to be walking slower and slower, and he is almost a mile or two away, Li Mu actually turned around and walked back.
Ju Zhi was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and immediately slapped a sentry out of the city to ask.
Li Mu shook the feather fan and said, "Ben Hou suddenly thought, what is Ju Zhisheng, why let Ben Hou go to see him?" If he is sincere, come out to me. ”
The sentinel returned, and Ju Zhisheng hurriedly came to Ju He to discuss. Ju He thought for a while and said, "The king doesn't have to worry, I think this Zhulu Hou must be worried that we are on guard and vigilant, which is normal." The king might as well promise him first, but we will meet tomorrow, and tonight, while it is night, I will arrange for someone to secretly go out of the city to ambush. If he doesn't come, it means that he is not sincere, and the king does not need to be angry, and we can be regarded as winning. ”
"How can this be considered a win?"
"The king forgot, our primary purpose is to delay time."
Ju Zhisheng suddenly, nodded heavily, and said: "Spread the words of the king, tomorrow at noon, set up a tent outside the city to meet, only bring an entourage, and hope to chase the deer marquis to see the same. ”
The sentinel received the order to pass the word, and after a short time, he brought back Li Mu's words, and at noon tomorrow, each with ten followers, met five miles outside the city.
Night.
Don army battalion.
In the open space of the camp, Li Mu has already assembled the hot air balloon that he brought to Li Siwen, and at this time he is using black paint on the outer surface of the spitting hot air balloon, in order to achieve the effect of shading, although it cannot completely block the fire, but as long as it is not so obvious, it is no problem, after all, Gaochang does not know that there is such a thing as a hot air balloon.
In addition to this hot air balloon, there are three other hot air balloons, all of which were made during the day today. Its quality is definitely not as good as the one made by Li Mu himself, but at this time, the war is imminent, as long as you can fly, there is a parachute when you fall, if the unlucky parachute can't save your life, then you have to ask for more blessings.
The one who acted as the 'death squad' this time was Usman's Tiansha Alliance horse bandits. They had killed once in Gaochang City, and they were very clear about the layout in Gaochang City. Li Mu asked them to fly to Gaochang City, take out the fire oil that had been prepared, and set fire to it everywhere, causing a riot.
But this is not their most important task, their most important task is to take advantage of the riot and throw the 'explosive pack' he made himself into the city gate.
The explosives bag made by Li Mu is an increased version. Its power is not smaller than the explosive bag he blew up the mountain, and it is also specially made with a twist, which can only be ignited and thrown into the doorway, and the shock wave generated by the explosion is enough to shake the city gate open. As long as the city gate is opened, with the strength of the Tang army, Gaochang can be leveled in one go.
"Don't be afraid," Li Mu tied the parachute to Usman's body, and stuffed the special explosive bag into his arms: "This thing is called explosives, it is very expensive, it is not easy to refine, and it is not easy to make." There is only this one, and there is no more. Whether it can be done this time depends on you, if you make this contribution, I will guarantee you at least one general. From now on, you are no longer a horse bandit, but a general of the Tang Dynasty, for this, do you dare to fight! ”
Usman nodded heavily, but he didn't have a choice. After he returned to Gaochang, Li Mu took the wives and relatives of the Tiansha Alliance to Chang'an in the name of care, and also gave them the fifty hectares of land that Li Shimin had given him to plant. There is no difference between the hostages and the hostages!
Usman regretted it a little, but he also understood that there was no way to be a horse bandit, and only by being whitewashed could future generations be upright.
"Master Hou, please rest assured, Usman's life was given by Master Hou, even if he risked his life, he had to do it for Master Hou!"
"Good! I'm waiting for you with a celebration wine! ”
Li Mu said, and explained the precautions to Usman in detail, seeing that the night was already thick, and after sensing the wind direction, he let the three hot air balloons rise into the sky. The wind blew the hot air balloon and floated it slowly, Li Mu called Li Chongyi and asked him to inform Li Ji and Hou Junji to abandon the horses, march forward with a piece, and do not disturb the enemy when they see it. When the thunder sounded, they rushed in.
At the same time, five miles outside Gaochang City, a team of men and horses was also busy - they were digging a pit.
If there are people and horses hidden outside the city, it seems a little too obvious, so Ju He thought of a 'good way', he should dig a pit that can hide people under the big tent that is preparing to feast Li Mu, and when Li Mu's people and horses arrive, they will first fall into the pit first, if people fall into the pit and can't get out, don't you let yourself pinch and knead it round?
