readx; The wind was blowing, the southeast wind, the wind was not strong, and it could only make the flames sway slightly and swaying in a brilliant posture. A middle-aged man in his early forties, www.biquge.info quickly climbed the city wall along the city ladder, stood behind Li Yuanjing, bent the straight rocker slightly, shook the two neat beards inlaid on his lips, and said softly: "King, the time has come." ”

This middle-aged man's name is Wu Mou, the first strategist under Li Yuanjing, and he is also a hermit, and he is also a strategist who can really strategize and win thousands of miles away. From the moment Li Yuanjing launched the ** plan, Wu Mou had already regarded Li Yuanjing as the monarch of the Tang Dynasty from the bottom of his heart. But now that the world is undecided and the big thing has not been accomplished, Wu Mou can only shout 'king'.

Li Yuanjing nodded, looked at the army under the city, and said in a gentle tone: "Wu Mou, how many years have you been with this king?" ”

"Three years and eighteen days." Wu Mou straightened his back, looked at Li Yuanjing's deep and unfathomable back, and replied respectfully.

"It's not been long, but you're the king's most trustworthy person. I, Li Yuanjing, have no friends in this life, and although those so-called relatives are alive, they have long been dead in the heart of this king. The only person you can rely on is you. In this battle, no matter whether you succeed or fail, this king will ensure that you are rich and noble in this life, and this king is grateful for your companionship over the years. With that, Li Yuanjing raised his right hand, and on the city wall, where there were originally only two people, Li Yuanjing and Wu Mou, more than a dozen black-clothed people appeared in an instant.

The dozen or so men in black all wore pure black hoods on their heads, and only two holes were dug in the places where their eyes were, so they couldn't get a glimpse of their faces at all. Each person's limbs are extremely developed, and at a glance, you can tell that they are people who have practiced martial arts all year round. One of the black-clothed men walked to Li Yuanjing's side, knelt on one knee, and said in a tone without any emotion: "Master, the door has arrived, a total of three hundred and fifty-six people, and they can die generously at any time!" ”

"This king doesn't need you to die, pass on the king's order, everyone, all withdraw from Yuezhou City, go to the capital, and destroy the Hongyuan Commercial Bank. Remember, don't let go of anyone in Hongyuan Commercial Bank, not even the maids! In addition, when you leave, take Wu Mou with you. With that, Li Yuanjing waved his hand, and more than a dozen black-clothed people disappeared in an instant. Then, Li Yuanjing turned around, looked at Wu Mou with complicated eyes, and said lightly: "This king has a separate courtyard in Anyang Town, no one knows about it, you can settle there in the future." No matter how successful or unsuccessful this king is, don't come back to this king, and this king won't go looking for you, I hope you and I are well. ”

Wu Mou, puffed and knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Li Yuanjing three times, and after standing up, he looked at Li Yuanjing with firm eyes, and said in a sonorous tone: "Wu Mou is willing to finish the last road with the king." ”

The reason why Wu Mou kowtowed to Li Yuanjing was because just now, Li Yuanjing gave Wu Mou a way to live. In the future, no matter whether the major events succeed or fail, Wu Mou will spend his life safely, and there is no need to sit down because of Li Yuanjing's rebellion, and there is no need to be **taken by Li Yuanjing's ** later. has been by Li Yuanjing's side for so many years, although he has watched Li Yuanjing kill many people with his own eyes, Wu Mou knows in his heart that Li Yuanjing is a loving and righteous person. If you can follow such a master in this life, you may be unknown in the future, but Wu Mou has no regrets.

Li Yuanjing smiled slightly, put his right hand on Wu Mou's shoulder, looked at Wu Mou's eyes for a moment, and nodded heavily. At the same time as Li Yuan's head was nodding, the wind became stronger, and the flames that were scratching his head were blown to death. Li Yuanjing took his hand away from Wu Mou's shoulder, and Wu Mou turned around and walked to the inside of the city wall, and shouted at the eight hundred sword axe hands and one thousand elite soldiers hidden inside the city wall: "The time is up, do it!" ”

At the sound of the order, a thousand elite soldiers took the lead in climbing the city wall, and put the wooden planks placed on the city wall in advance, stretched out of the city, one end on the city wall, and the other end on the ground outside the city, and the city wall, the ground, and the wooden planks formed a right-angled triangle. Wooden barrels filled with fire oil piled up in various parts of the city wall were then rolled down the planks to the outside of the city. After more than 1,000 large wooden barrels were lined up outside the city, all the 1,000 soldiers took out their bows and arrows, tied one end of the arrows with sackcloth stained with fire oil, and drew the strings with their bows, and pointed the tips of the arrows at the oil drums outside the city.

When all the bows and arrows had been drawn into a full circle, more than 20 soldiers with torches set fire to the arrows of the thousand soldiers in turn, and the originally gray city wall was instantly illuminated by dense rockets like daylight. The Tang army outside the city saw a 'fire dragon' on the wall of Yuezhou, and hurriedly informed the general in the army, and the general reported to the general of the march. After getting the news, Yin Kaishan took Cheng Zhijie and Wei Chigong out of the camp, and really saw a row of flames burning on Yuezhou City.

"The enemy is looking for war! Pass my orders, all arms for war! Because the distance was too far, Yin Kaishan thought that the city walls were burning with torches, and thought that the enemy was going to attack at night, so he hurriedly ordered the whole army to fight.

"Grandma's, Li Yuanjing, the turtle son, finally stuck his head out of the turtle shell, tonight, I will cut off his head!" Cheng Zhijie roared excitedly, and hurriedly ordered someone to bring him the battle armor and plate axe. After dressing, Cheng Zhijie turned over and boarded the war horse, personally led 8,000 soldiers and horses, as the vanguard army, and approached Yuezhou City.

At the same time, the scouts of Yuezhou City rushed to the city wall and knelt beside Li Yuanjing to report: "King! The enemy vanguard is coming! ”

Li Yuanjing nodded lightly, waved his hand to let the scouts retreat, and then turned his head to look at Wu Mou, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and said lightly: "It's time for you to leave." ”

Hearing this, Wu Mou knelt down in front of Li Yuanjing again and made a parting gift of throwing himself to the ground. Then he stood up, slapped his dusty knees twice, lowered his head, resisted the urge to cry, and turned around and walked away without looking back. Some people may think that Wu Mou only cared about his surname and abandoned Li Yuanjing at such a critical juncture. But smart people like Li Yuanjing and Wu Mou know very well in their hearts that even if Wu Mou stays, it will not help the entire grand strategy. Li Yuanjing treats real friends, and his idea is very simple: 'We can only share joys and sorrows, not hardships', and Li Yuanjing should bear the hardships alone.

There were more than a dozen black-clothed men under the city wall to answer Wu Mou, and when he was about to leave Yuezhou City, one of the black-clothed men walked beside Wu Mou and whispered in his ear: "Sir, I got the news just now, Wei Hong led eight thousand cavalry, smashed Xiangxiong Huanglong, and conquered the vault, and now Xiangxiong is completely finished."
