A wolf's tooth arrow, carrying a 'war letter', broke through the air and pierced the head of Gaochang City. Seeing this, the Lang general who was guarding the city hurriedly took down the arrow, and Pegasus sent it to the palace and presented it to Ju Zhisheng, the king of Gaochang, who had just succeeded to the throne.

Ju Zhisheng couldn't make up his mind, so he hurriedly sent someone to summon Prime Minister Ju He, and when he arrived, he took down the letter on the arrow.

"Xiangguo, look, it's above-" When Ju Zhisheng said, he also saw the content of the letter, and his face turned pale suddenly, and then he said angrily: "How can the Tang people be so shameless, they actually say that this king colluded with the Turks to kill his father and seize power, how can he be so reversible black and white!" ”

Ju He was much calmer, he thought for a while, and said with a straight face: "The person in charge of the Tang Army should have changed." ”

"Huh?"

"Lao Chen has studied Li Ji and Hou Junji, Li Ji is treacherous, very cautious, risky things, uncertain things, he would rather not do than try. And Hou Junji was originally a brave and unscrupulous person, but after following Li Jing to learn the art of war, he had a strategy, but he couldn't change his nature of rejoicing in great achievements. If the two of them had come up with this idea, they wouldn't have waited until the evening to do it. Therefore, the old minister boldly guessed that the Marquis of the Tang Dynasty was likely to have escaped from the predicament and returned to the Tang army camp! ”

Ju Zhisheng was stunned for a moment, and instantly remembered what Li Mu had done to him, and his face turned pale: "Isn't it, this is him, it's him!" How did he not die! Is the heavens going to kill me? ”

Ju He couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he saw Ju Zhisheng like this.

Ju He has long been dissatisfied with Ju Wentai and plans to set up a new master. Originally, he chose Ju Wentai's third son, but unfortunately he died under Usman's revenge, and now Ju Wentai has only one son, Ju Zhisheng, in addition to his four daughters, so he has no choice at all.

Ju He gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, are you so afraid of that Zhulu Marquis?" ”

"The prime minister doesn't know, that person - it's terrible, he's extremely bad, he has no morals, no bottom line, he's not a person! Have you heard of that? There is a royal history to impeach him, he poured dung into people's sedan chairs, and put them in people's wells-" Ju Zhisheng retched, remembering everything Usman had done to him, showing a painful look, and said: "He has too many means, he is happy with this, surrenders, admits defeat, and he will not let it go!" ”

Ju He saw that Ju Zhisheng was already six gods and no master, and once again felt that he had done something wrong, but the matter had come to this, and it was useless to regret it, so he could only go all the way to the dark. Ju He said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that you should no longer be afraid, because there is no way out. Now is the time for you to rise to the occasion and face this rivalry. Lao Chen calculated that in the past two days, the Turkic vanguard will definitely arrive, and at that time, we will be able to win the battle if we flank the Tang army. I, Gaochang, can be regarded as a meritorious service to the Turks, and I deserve a vote. ”

"But now the country has no good generals—"

"So the king wants to drive the expedition himself!" Ju and Zhengse said: "The old minister assists the king to ascend the throne, and he will live and die with the king, the old minister will stand near the king, if he is defeated and dies, the old minister is willing to die before His Majesty." ”

"This ......" Ju Zhisheng didn't expect Ju He to be able to say this, and he couldn't help but be grateful. He always knew that Ju He wanted to assist his third brother, and he also regarded Ju He as the biggest stumbling block to his ascension to the throne, but he didn't expect that today was the situation, and the biggest enemy in the past became his biggest help.

No matter how bad the person is, he can burst out of courage when he is forced into a desperate situation, Ju Zhisheng took a deep breath and said: "Prime Minister, the matter has come to this, even if it is a mantis arm as a car, we have no choice." If you survive this difficulty, Gao Changguo, alone and Qing will rule together! The order went down, and at noon tomorrow, he invited the city gate of Zhulu Hou to drink, and asked him if he dared to come! ”

……

"Ask me if I dare to come?"

After a good night's sleep, Li Mu rubbed his eyes, looking at the letter that Zhang Tianai unfolded for him, he was still a little confused.

"What does this guy think he is?" Li Mu sneered and said, "Does he think he is a character?" Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang? Empty city plan? My God-" Li Mu yawned, leaned on Zhang Tianai's shoulder, and asked lazily, "Madame thinks, should I go to see him?" ”

Zhang Tianai was a wife for the first time, and her heart was in turmoil, how could she still think about this, she helped Li Mu press her shoulder, and said softly: "If you want to go, you can go, if you don't want to go, you won't go, ask me what to do?" ”

"Isn't this respecting Mrs., because your husband can't beat her for fear of being beaten."

"You still say?" Zhang Tianai's apricot eyes were erected, Li Mu hurriedly came down honestly, shouted, and someone at the door answered: "What does Master Hou command?" ”

"Is it Su Lie?"

"Humble Su Lie."

"Did you do what I commanded last night? Those materials you want, my unreliable brother, are you prepared? ”

"Tell the Hou Ye, Dingxiang City has sufficient reserves, even if it lacks some, it is constantly being allocated, when the Hou Ye wakes up in the morning, General Li has already come, he said that he will not disappoint the Hou Ye's expectations, and he will ensure that it will be completed on time."

"Okay, this kid-" Li Mu muttered, got up from the bed, Zhang Tianai gently served him to dress, Li Mu suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, although for Bai Qiaoqiao, Li Zhien and others, this is a normal move, but Zhang Tianai came to do it, Li Mu always felt that he would be beaten in the next second.

Dressed properly, 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 hurriedly helped the two of them up, and the three of them sat down, Li Mu said with a smile: "Take the sword of Shang Fang, not to restrain the two generals, but today's situation, I am afraid that things will change, everything is because of me, this responsibility will also be borne by me Li Mu, if there is no notoriety in the future, I will naturally show Your Majesty, and I will not rob the two of them." ”

Hearing this, Li Ji said unhappily: "Li Mu, you and I are father and son, how can you talk like this?" Am I a person who shirks my responsibilities in your eyes? ”

"When you say me, you mean me." Hou Junji hurriedly grabbed the words, he thought to himself, you don't care, you don't have much responsibility anyway, but I can't do it, if there is no Li Muding, let me take the responsibility of poisoning the lord of Gaochang, then pay it back?

Li Mu smiled and said, "Father-in-law, General Hou, let's not argue." Now that I have the sword of Shang Fang in my hand, if Your Majesty comes in person, I ask you to cooperate with me, what do you think? Li Mu is not talented, but he will definitely use the fastest way to solve the current crisis, so as not to be stupid and cause greater chaos. ”
