The muscles on Li Jiancheng's face twitched, he calmed down, took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, I can agree to let my father cut off the emperor's title and change his name to King Tang, and I also agree that all officials and generals, soldiers and civilians in the Tang Dynasty will serve you as the master." But I also ask Your Majesty to give Guanzhong and Longxi as the fiefdoms of the Tang King to my father. At the same time, in order to protect the fiefdom and collect taxes, my Li family may also need to keep a certain number of troops...... Although it is not as much as 500,000, we still want to keep about 200,000, I don't know if you ......"

"That's it! I don't need to talk about it anymore! At this time, Yu Ming stood up and said: "Brother Jiancheng, the conditions I put forward just now, you just have to answer whether you agree or disagree!" You can't bargain! Of course, I also know that I am afraid that you are not in charge of such a big matter! I give you fifteen days, and you can ask Li Yuan for instructions, whether you want to ignore the lives of the people of the world and hundreds of thousands of Tang Army soldiers for your own selfishness, and you must also resist stubbornly to the end! Or conform to the mandate of heaven, let the country be reunified, let the world live and work in peace and contentment, and live a happy and stable life...... The choice is up to you Li Tang! Go back and discuss it with Li Yuan! ”

Li Jiancheng's face turned pale, although Yu Ming's words were very unkind, but in this situation, if he was Yu Ming, he was afraid and refused to let go of the enemy who could be destroyed immediately, and allowed it to continue to exist and become a separatist force.

He and Liu Jing also stood up, nodded, and then said that they would definitely explain the matter to Li Yuan when they went back, and make a decision as soon as possible.

When Li Jiancheng and Liu Jing walked to the door of the room, Yu Mingfang said again: "Brother Jiancheng, you can talk to Ling Zun when you go back!" Xiuning actually wants to see her father too, and my daughter also wants to see her grandfather. If he can make the right choice, then we will truly become a family! But if he is still obsessed and insists on going his own way, then I can't say anything, so I have to kill my relatives in righteousness! ”

After Li Jiancheng heard this, he was first shocked, and then he was also a little moved: "Your Majesty, please rest assured!" I will convey your words to my father in their entirety! ”

At this time, he turned around and showed a reluctant smile and said, "Actually, I also want to call you brother-in-law!" However, the decision on this matter is still in the hands of my father, and it cannot be completely decided by me! ”

With that, he and Liu Jing strode out of the door, and then disappeared at the end of the stairs.

Yu Ming looked at Li Jiancheng's back at this moment, and sighed lightly: "Whether the reunification of the world can be resolved in a peaceful way will be known in fifteen days!" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, how much hope do you think there is for this matter?" ”

"Fifty percent!" Yu Ming said quietly: "For the officials of the Tang Dynasty, whoever they replaced as the emperor is almost the same. Although most of Li Tang's officials were from Guanlong, I was also a Yu valve from the Guanlong Gate, and they also knew that it was impossible for me to treat and suppress the Guanlong family. And for Li Yuan, it is not easy to give up the emperor's throne that he has so hard to get and become an idle prince from now on. Moreover, the people of Li Lords will fear that after surrendering, I will settle accounts after the autumn, and slowly execute and exile them. So, it's up to the two sides to fight! However, I believe in one thing: no matter whether Li Yuantong agrees or not, the world will be unified! ”

At this time, he said to the eldest grandson Wuji: "Therefore, we still have to maintain enough pressure on Li Tang to make the right choice between power and life!" ”

……

After Li Jiancheng left Luoyang, Yuming issued one order after another. He ordered the Zhou army to be stationed in various strategic points and exert great military pressure on Li Tang.

Yuming first ordered Zhang Xinyu to lead the 60,000 Tang troops who had just surrendered to Bashu, replace the more than 200,000 Zhou troops led by Li Jing, and let him lead the army to Hanzhong and threaten the south gate of Guanzhong.

At the same time, he ordered Song Jingang to lead 50,000 troops from Shandong, Hebei, Jianghuai and other places to support King Qin's army, stationed in Hetao, to take over the defense. Let Luo Cheng and Luo Shixin lead 100,000 Zhou troops to attack Xiliang and block the door for Li Tang to escape to the Western Regions.

Then, Yuming announced that he ordered Wei Chi Jingde to be the commander and led 100,000 Zhou troops to attack Shuofang from Hedong and threaten the north gate of Guanzhong.

And he himself, with an army of 200,000, marched towards Tongguan, and the flag was like a sea, and the momentum was huge.

The Zhou army advanced to Guanzhong from the west, south, north, and east at the same time, with a total strength of more than 700,000 troops. The Tang army was shaken, and all the officials and members of the Li Tang court in Chang'an were terrified.

At this time, Li Jiancheng and Liu Jing had already returned to Chang'an and brought back Yuming's peace conditions.

After Li Yuan heard this harsh request, he was furious and tore the agreement to shreds.

He roared loudly: "This Yuxiao really bullied me Li Tang has no one!" All right! Since he wants to attack in four, I will attack in four to see how powerful he is! Let's also see if I, Li Tang, are really as vulnerable as he thinks! ”

With that, he declared:

ordered Li Yuanji to be the commander of the Northern Army, leading 50,000 troops to guard Shuofang and resist the attack of Wei Chi Jingde;

ordered Li Shentong to be the commander of the Western Army, leading 50,000 troops to guard Xiliang and resist Luo Cheng's attack;

ordered Li Jiancheng to be the commander of the Southern Army, leading 100,000 troops to hold Hanzhong and resist Li Jing's attack;

ordered Li Shimin to be the commander of the Eastern Army, and led 150,000 troops to defend Tongguan to resist Yuming's attack;

The remaining 150,000 soldiers and horses will stay in Chang'an as a reserve, and if either side does not support, troops will be sent to reinforce it.

This battle plan seems to be not bad, but as soon as the coach is selected, it makes the ministers talk about it. Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin are not enough, the combat ability of these two emperors is obvious to all, although they may not be as good as the Great Zhou Emperor Yuming, but they are also among the best among the generals of the Tang Army, and there is no problem in making them handsome.

But Li Shentong is a little unconvincing, his only combat achievement is to kill this Li Valve's side brother when he attacked Li Rail. And this Li Liang was originally a few soldiers and generals, and the Xiliang area was all desert flatland, and there was no danger to defend. Li Shentong's troops at that time were almost more than double that of Li Liang, and he also bought off several of his subordinate generals, so that he barely won the victory.

And even in this battle, Li Shentong paid more than 10,000 casualties before he finally captured the Xiliang region. In the eyes of the ministers, it is estimated that any change of general to be the commander will not be worse than Li Shentong.

However, compared to Li Shentong, Li Yuanji is more controversial. This Qi King of the Tang Dynasty has been pampered since he was a child, and he is not without skills, but Li Yuan likes to reuse him. As a result, Li Yuanji kept the original and lost the original to Liu Wuzhou; asked Li Yuanji to participate in the Battle of Luoyang, but also ended in a fiasco. Even when attacking Xiao Miao, whenever Li Yuanji led the troops alone, he almost did not win against the enemy. His best record is a draw with the enemy.

For such an arrogant and incompetent general, Li Yuan actually ordered him to be the commander of the Northern Army, and used 50,000 soldiers and horses to deal with the 100,000 elites of the Zhou army's general Chi Jingde. Even if you are blind, you can see who will win.

And such an arrangement of the commander of the army, Li Yuan also has nowhere to say. If he wants to say that he knows about the incompetence of Li Shentong and Li Yuanji, he must know. But here's the thing: he can't find a more suitable person to be the manager.

Because he has learned a lot of bad news from the inner lines planted in the ministers and the major families of Guanlong. Many officials and generals, as well as Guan Long's big family, quietly sent people to Luoyang to liaise with familiar officials of the Zhou Dynasty.

And what will these people contact with the officials of the Zhou Dynasty? Even if Li Yuan thought about it with his ass, he could guess that most of it was to provide the Zhou Dynasty with the information they had learned about the Tang army and the Tang court, as well as discuss the relevant details of how they would cooperate with the incident and how to welcome the Zhou army into the city if the Zhou army entered the pass.

So, in this situation, how dare he rest assured that he would be handsome with other capable people? Don't say that you have a different surname, even if you are the same person as Li Valve, you have to be separated from each other. In Li Yuan's view, only his brother and son would not betray him.

Therefore, even if Li Shentong and Li Yuanji are incompetent, he will push them to the position of commander-in-chief. In this way, he felt that he could ensure that his subordinate army would not be taken by the generals to surrender to the Zhou army.

Of course, Li Yuan also knew that Li Shentong and Li Yuanji's command ability was too low, so he appointed Yang Shidao and Gao Shilian as two advisers to serve as military advisors in the Western Army and the Northern Army respectively to assist his younger brother and son.

In his opinion, this is also the best choice as a last resort.

The next day, at the pledge meeting outside Chang'an City, Li Yuan said impassionedly: "Although the Zhou army is menacing and strong, how much grain does the 700,000 army have to eat in a day? That's not a small number. The land of Guanzhong is rich and fertile, there is Xiao Pass in the north, Dasan Pass in the west, Wuguan in the south, and Tong Pass in the east, all of which are the Xiongguan that is easy to defend and difficult to attack in the world. As long as our army is strong and clear, stick to the city, and do not fight easily...... After holding for a while, the enemy army runs out of food, and it will naturally retreat. At that time, we can severely defeat the Zhou army, so that Yu Mingxiao has to agree to our conditions! ”

It's just that his remarks only resounded with a burst of inwarm applause among the officers and men of the Tang Army, and the officers and men standing in the audience were a little listless.

Before that, the Tang army had 10,000 soldiers and occupied a vast area from Hetao in the north, to Jiaozhi in the south, to Tuyuhun in the west, and to Jingxiang in the east, which was almost half of the world. The officers and men of the Tang Army thought that there was a hope for the unification of the world, but they suffered a series of blows one after another, losing Hedong, Jingxiang, Bashu, and Hetao in succession. Now he can only be trapped in a corner of Guanlong, and Li Yuan actually wants to defeat the powerful Zhou army, isn't this out of reality?

The officials standing next to the point platform: Wang Gui, Yang Shidao and Ma Zhou, glanced at each other, and motioned for a few people to gather together in the old place after the meeting.
