Just as these people were digging hard, a sudden thunderous sound sounded, which scared everyone. They looked back and saw that the fire in Gaochang City soared into the sky. Because of the distance, they did not see the miserable situation at the gate. The gate, which was as thick as a ruler, was blown to pieces, and the broken limbs and arms were everywhere.

Ju He was responsible for supervising the worker here. When he saw this tragic situation, he thought bad. He was about to bring people back to help, but suddenly a flash of thought flashed through his mind, gritted his teeth, and said, "Don't throw everything, go, go towards Tuyuhun!"

"Prime Minister, we're leaving like this?"

"Don't you leave and wait for death? The fire has already caught in the city, which means that the Tang army has already attacked the city. Ju Zhisheng is a waste and expects him to defend the city. Those who want to survive, follow me, and those who don't want to follow me, you can do whatever you want!" After that, Ju He stopped saying anything and went straight to the east.

Everyone who was digging a hole looked at each other, some were following each other subconsciously, and some were running back desperately, and for a moment they were making trouble and riots began.

But outside Gaochang City, after the explosion sounded, the Tang army hidden in the darkness ignited torches, and the shouters rushed to Gaochang City. The city gate was bombed and there was no way to defend. The arrow rain on the city wall was shot for only one round and was attacked on the top of the city. When fighting in close combat, how could the Gaochang people be the opponent of the Tang people? The surrendered people lie on the ground with their bodies, and the rebels splattered blood and heads flew over five steps. Soon, the shouts of killing gradually decreased. This was also under Li Mu's expectation. After all, even a group of horse bandits could stir up the earth-shaking city. How long could they resist after the elite Tang army broke through the city?

By dawn, the enemy had basically been cleared. Li Mu found a restaurant on the street and asked the chef to make a bowl of wontons for himself. Gaochang's food style was no different from that of the Tang Dynasty, so there were also wontons. Li Chongyi was like an iron tower, waiting beside him, and there were more than a dozen imperial guards around him to form a human wall. Outside the human wall, there were so many people with fearful eyes. They didn't know what their fate would be. This feeling made Li Mu very uncomfortable.

He hates war, but often, wars cannot be fought, and this is the contradiction.

Just as he was about to eat a bite of wonton, someone came to report it. Li Chongyi heard the person coming and came to Li Mu and said, "Brother, Usman injured his leg and has been bandaged. Do you want to see him?"

Li Mu nodded slightly, and someone came over with Usman. Li Mu lowered his head and glanced at him. He saw that Usman's left foot was wrapped in a thick white cloth, and he could not see the condition inside, but from the blood leaching from outside, he probably couldn't save his foot.

Li Mu did not say anything comforting, but instead asked the shop to bring another bowl and a pair of chopsticks. Li Mu put the bowl and chopsticks in front of Usman, and then handed him half the wontons in his bowl.

"Marty, how dare the villain-"

"In the future, if you want to continue to join the army, I will protect you as a Zhechong Captain. If you don't want to fight and kill, follow me and I will arrange it for you to protect you from your life's glory and wealth."

Us' eyes were red and said, "Mr. Marquis, there is no way to fight and kill again. The villain only wants to follow the Marquis and do something for the Marquis within his ability. If he is not an idle person, he will be content in his life."

"Okay, you have your own arrangements." Li Mu looked at him and said, "Eat, after eating, go back to the camp to have a good rest. You don't have to worry about the rest."

"My brothers-"

"Just like the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, reward merits and rewards for those who deserve to be a land, and those who deserve to be a land."

"Thank you, Marquis!" Usman struggled to get up, but Li Mu pressed him down, watched him finish half a bowl of wontons, and asked someone to send him back to the camp.

Li Mu had half a bowl of wontons left, but he couldn't eat them anymore. He picked up the bowl and handed it to Li Chongyi. Li Chongyi opened his mouth and drank it directly. He didn't even chew it. This little thing was not enough for him to stuff his teeth.

"Let's go and see your old friend. Don't he want to see me? Let's go!"

...

When the explosion sounded last night, Ju Zhisheng knew that Gaochang's doomsday had arrived.

He was not surprised by this result. He never thought he was Li Mu's opponent, but he didn't expect that he would lose so easily and so... not worth mentioning.

He thought that he would fight back and forth with Li Mu in front of the two armies, and that it would be a shame for a hero. But now, as the history books say, he was defeated in a flash of his fingers.

Ju Zhisheng couldn't help but wonder, can a person like him have enough space for a sentence in history books? Or maybe it's a few words? Or is it simply ignored?

The palace people were fighting for treasures and fleeing in all directions. No one looked at him, the king who had just been a day, and Ju Zhisheng didn't care. He found a jar of wine, slapped the Kaifeng mud, drank it gurgled, sat on the throne he had always dreamed of, quietly waiting for the arrival of the Tang army.

He thought Li Mu would not come to see him as a prisoner again, but he guessed wrongly. Not only did Li Mu come, but he also came with wine and food, alone.

When Ju Zhisheng saw Li Mu coming alone, he put down the wine jar and pulled out the sword, and wanted to fight with Li Mu, but as soon as he drew out the sword, he staggered and he was already drunk.

Ju Zhisheng threw the sword to the ground dejectedly, sat on the steps of the throne, and looked at Li Mu below: "Everything is your plan, right?"

Li Mu sat on the ground, threw a bag of wine and food to Ju Zhisheng, opened the jar of wine and asked casually, "What are you referring to?"

"From the beginning, it was your plan, right?"

"If you are willing to think so, I am happy to be a master." Li Mu smiled and said, "In fact, I don't have so-called calculating. This time I came here just to pick up my wife, and bring the newly cultivated seeds to let the refugees in Dingxiang reclaim wasteland and cultivate wasteland. The people must live, do you think?"

"You are lying!" Ju Zhi glared at him. He couldn't accept this fact. If this was the case, everything he did would become an overreaction, which seemed so ridiculous. He stared at Li Mu tightly and said, "Aren't you setting up Zhangjiaji just to deal with our Gaochang?"
