The risk of doing so was too great for him.

"May I ask Li Gong, compared to Jinyang and Daxing, that one is more important. As long as we enter Daxing City, and then go back and regain the lost territory, it is not impossible. ”

Li Yuan was still unmoved: "What about the risk? When we went to Daxing City, we had to pass through several cities on the way, which was full of difficulties and risks. It's better to be down-to-earth than to fantasize about reality. I am close to Emperor Sui, and I will apologize to him at that time, thinking that he will forgive me. ”

Li Shimin thought about it all night last night, and then thought of this set of words, but he didn't expect that Li Yuan didn't eat oil and salt, so he was so anxious that he grabbed Li Yuan's sleeve: "Li Gong, think twice!" ”

With a straight face, Li Yuan brushed Li Shimin away: "This matter should not be mentioned again, I have made up my mind, and the generals are ready to pull out." ”

Li Shimin wanted to persuade again, but Li Yuan shouted: "Invite all Shimin and General Jiancheng out to me." ”

The decision has been decided, and Li Yuan is afraid of the slightest hesitation.

The Li brothers were pushed out, and Li Shimin thought that he had finally achieved this result along the way, because of Li Yuan's decision, everything fell short, and he couldn't help but cry loudly, which made the listener break his bowels.

Li Yuan's heart is also uncomfortable, these are her dearest sons, and her heart will not hurt.

Sons, in the future, you will think that my decision is right, Li Yuan said in his heart.

At this moment, Xia Yu appeared, and he walked into the military tent.

When the generals saw Xia Yu, the generals who were unwilling to withdraw their troops threw their hopes one after another.

Everyone wanted to hear what Xia Yu had to say about it.

Xia Yu slowly spoke: "Gong Li, retire from the army." Well retired. ”

Li Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, even Xia Yu supported him to withdraw from the army, and he was even more confident.

"What does it mean to retire? It means that it is difficult for us to gather a second Li family army, and it means that it is clear that the enemy is all paper tigers, so we are cowardly before fighting and give up the opportunity to occupy Daxing. It means that we could have achieved great things for the ages, but we have not moved forward. ”

"Bold, Li Gong has his own considerations, why do you say that the enemy is all paper tigers!"

"Xia Yu, are you really very good for you? Since Li Gong was fourteen years old, he has inherited the position of Tang Guogong, and his wisdom is not comparable to that of a hairy young man, joke! ”

"I thought you had some insight, and you weren't talking big words."

After a few words, the generals who supported the withdrawal were eager to object.

The Li brothers listened carefully outside the tent, and the two of them couldn't persuade Li Yuan, only hoping that Xia Yu would succeed in lobbying.

As a result, when Xia Yu said this, Li Jiancheng shook his head slightly, and Xia Yu said an empty remark.

"Guys, there is a shortage of food. As far as I know, our grain can be eaten until May, when the crops on the roadside are ripe, isn't it a problem? ”

Li Yuan calculated in his heart that the problem of grain and grass could be solved.

"What kind of person is Qu Butong? It's just a brave and unscrupulous person, and the heavy rain stops. I have my own strategy to defeat the enemy, and everyone can watch from the wall. ”

"What kind of ploy is that?" A Lang general asked first.

"I'm sorry, no comment!" Xia Yu refused.

The Lang General was about to laugh at Xia Yu, but was glared at by Li Yuan's fierce eyes, and he didn't dare to speak again.

"The third point, what is the reason for the treachery of the Turks? Benefits! If we let them know that attacking Jinyang is not profitable, will they still waste their minds to attack Jinyang? ”

Seeing that no one objected, Xia Yu continued: "Fourth, Liu Wuzhou is just a group of rabble, what kind of storm can he raise. Combining the third and fourth points, I believe that on the surface, the enemy is menacing, but in fact it is nothing more than a mass of scattered sand. ”

Xia Yu analyzed four points one after another, Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin nodded again and again, thinking that the brains of the two people together may not be as clear as Xia Yu.

Li Yuan agreed with Xia Yu's point of view in his heart, but he was worried about the situation in Jinyang and was undecided.

Xia Yu looked around at the generals: "I think, some people must feel in their hearts that I am talking on paper, after all, what should I do?" ”

Li Yuan subconsciously asked, "Yes, General Xia, we can't stop here now and do nothing, right?" ”

Xia Yu bowed his hand to Li Yuanyi: "Duke Li, I ask to go to Jinyang alone and keep the Turks and Liu Wuzhou to withdraw their troops." ”

"How many centaurs do you need? I will do my best to meet any conditions! ”

"No, I'll go alone."

As soon as the words fell, someone came out to refute: "In case Jinyang falls, what should you do, you are the sinner of Li Jiajun through the ages." ”

"Xia Yu, although you are extremely smart, this matter is not a joke. Suppose the rain clears and we go to war with the Sui army, but at this time, news comes from the rear that the city of Jinyang is occupied. Most of the sergeants are from Jinyang, will they still have the heart to fight? ”

"Once Jinyang falls, the blow to us is too heavy. The matter will be discussed again. ”

"No, everything is up to Xia Yu!" Li Yuan, who has the supreme leadership, immediately made a decision.

The generals all turned their heads to look at Li Yuan, why did he change his mind all of a sudden.

Li Yuan smiled and said, "I believe in Xia Yu because his home is in Jinyang. For the sake of the Su family, he will go all out! Pass my general order, Li Jiajun is on standby! ”

"Thank you Li Gong!" Xia Yu clenched his fists and left the military tent, intending to leave immediately.

The Li brothers had already heard Li Yuan's decision outside the tent, and as soon as Xia Yu came out, they immediately hugged him, screaming and cheering.

"Xia Yu, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid we would really have to destroy everything!"

"Xia Yu, I really love you to death."

Immediately, Li Shimin was worried again: "Brother Xia, can you really do this alone?" Or I'll go with you. ”

Li Jiancheng also said: "It's raining right now, the two sides are truce, I will accompany you with my third brother." ”

The two of them looked at Xia Yu blankly, waiting for his decision.

Xia Yu smiled slightly: "If you two want to go, then go together." ”

The two went back to the military tent to change into civilian clothes, and the three rode horses and braved the rain to go to Jinyang City.

Along the way, he ran non-stop, running for five days in a row, and finally saw Jinyang City from a distance when Huang was wrong.

Xia Yu said: "We don't go to Jinyang City, you come with me." ”

The Li brothers were puzzled, but they still followed Xia Yu to a place called Niangniang Mountain.

According to legend, Taishang Laojun and Queen Mother looked at an unnamed mountain at the same time, and the two discussed, who can reach this mountain first, the peak is who's.

Taishang Laojun traveled quickly, and first arrived at the Nameless Mountain, buried his crutches there as a mark.

The Queen Mother arrived, but she loved the mountain, so she thought of a way to bury one of her embroidered shoes under the cane.
