Chapter 453: Taiyuan Rises Troops
Li Shimin seemed calm.
But Chai Shao and Li Jiancheng looked a little confused, after all, this incident came a little suddenly, and they didn't react for a while.
Li Yuan didn't care too much about the reaction of the two, but turned his eyes slightly, and said in a deep voice: "But the uprising must not be reckless, and it needs to be well prepared."
"Shimin, do you think that for your father to raise troops from Taiyuan, where should you attack in order to be able to take the initiative?" Li Yuan thought about it and set his eyes on Li Shimin, wanting to hear his thoughts.
Although Chai Shao and Li Jiancheng also have opinions, their thinking is still a little rigid, Li Yuan wants to see what Li Shimin can say, maybe he can surprise him.
was questioned by Li Yuan, Li Shimin was stunned, and suddenly said: "If my father wants to raise an army against Sui, when he sends a surprise army to attack Daxing, he can take the initiative."
"Attacking Daxing?" Li Yuan frowned, looking a little hesitant.
Although Yang Guang is now in Taiyuan, Daxing is still the capital of the Great Sui, is it really so easy to attack?
Li Shimin smiled and explained to Li Yuan: "Now that Yang Guang has dispatched men and horses to garrison Jiangdu and sent people to build the eastern capital Luoyang, Daxing at this moment is extremely empty, and it is the best opportunity."
After listening to Li Shimin's explanation, Li Yuan seemed to understand something, and he bowed his head and said: "Taiyuan is in the north of Daxing, and now all parties are focused on the Central Plains, and the defense of Daxing must be empty."
"If it is a surprise attack, there is indeed a chance to take Daxing City in one fell swoop, if it can occupy Daxing and echo Taiyuan, it will be able to stabilize the rear and enter the Central Plains, which is really good."
Li Yuan's self-care brain made up for it, obviously agreeing with Li Shimin's thoughts.
Li Shimin was also not ambiguous, and said directly: "The people of the world have escaped from Jiangdu, and Yang Guang will definitely send someone to bring news, and when the messenger arrives, it will be the time for my father to raise troops."
Li Yuan smiled with satisfaction and said, "Shimin really knows my heart very well, so I should straighten out the soldiers and horses at this moment, and wait for the time to start."
Li Jiancheng and Chai Shao also reacted, and their expressions were slightly strange.
Not long ago, Yang Guang also came to Jiangdu, and he attached great importance to Li Shimin and Li Yuanba, and now their Li family is about to revolt against Sui, which is really a bit ridiculous.
But it's not a big deal.
Because for them, this is also a good opportunity, and their Li family has never had a good impression of Yang Guang.
After all, Li Yuan was an official in the imperial court at the beginning, if it weren't for Yang Guang, why would they have come to Taiyuan.
It's not that Taiyuan is bad, it's a matter of face.
Now Yang Guang is almost embattled, although Li Jiancheng and Chai Shao did not show it directly, they are actually laughing in their hearts, and now Li Yuan has finally made a decision, isn't it a good thing?
Later, Li Yuan discussed some details of the army with several people, and he did not delay any longer and began to reorganize the army. Prepare the grain and grass for the march and the baggage.
After a few days, Yang Guang's envoy finally arrived.
Originally, it was a very glorious thing to be an envoy of the emperor, but now it has become a life-seeking talisman.
When Li Yuan saw the envoy, he eagerly inquired about the envoy's intentions.
His behavior was a little abnormal, so that the envoy seemed very confused, but he still fulfilled his responsibility and informed Yang Guang's holy decree.
Anyway, it probably means that Li Shimin, this kid, has a connection with the thief, and wants Li Yuan to send Li Shimin over honestly, if he doesn't listen, their Li family will die.
The content of the holy decree was similar to what Li Shimin expected, and Li Yuan did not hesitate, and directly asked the messenger to pull down and cut down the sacrificial flag.
Then, the army revolted, Li Yuan asked Li Jiancheng to stay in Taiyuan, and directly took Li Shimin, Li Yuanba and all the way to the army, and rushed to Daxing City.
As they expected, for various reasons, the defense of Daxing City was very lax, and they didn't expect that Li Yuan would have the courage to attack Daxing and come so suddenly.
Since Li Yuan has decided, it is naturally very decisive to make a move.
In any case, Li Yuan is a person who has been in Taiyuan, and there are many wars with foreign clans, and he has always been resolute when he fights.
Because Li Yuan led his troops to attack suddenly, the defenders of Daxing City were caught off guard, and they didn't last long at all, and they were directly breached.
Not to mention the elite soldiers and horses under Li Yuan's command, Li Yuanba alone is enough to be amazing.
Li Yuanba's combat effectiveness is not a joke, this is the existence of one person alone against a million troops.
There were no surprises in the capture of Daxing, but this was just the beginning.
Li Yuan's strategic goal was to take Taiyuan and Daxing as the base points, attack in all directions, and take this piece of territory and become his territory.
In fact, there was no surprise either, even if the defenders were already prepared because of Li Yuan's attack on Daxing, they couldn't resist Li Yuanba and Li Yuan's army at all, and they were completely defeated, without any surprise.
In this way, a large piece of land from Daxing City to the north has become Li Yuan's territory.
After doing all this, Li Yuan did not rush forward, what he had to do next was to stabilize the rear.
Only a solid foundation can support them to go further.
Although the results of the battle at this moment were gratifying, Li Yuan was self-aware, and he knew very well what situation they would face next.
The real strife in the world has not yet begun, and everything at this moment is just a prologue.
Even if he believed in Li Yuanba's strength, who could be sure that there were no accidents.
But now that he has made his choice, there is absolutely no room for regret.
At such a time, he had to try his best to know if he could succeed.
……
The news of Li Yuan's army soon spread to Jiangdu.
When Yang Guang learned the news, his whole face was distorted, and the anger in his heart was so fierce that it almost made him go berserk.
But he was helpless, because he was already overstretched in the face of the anti-kings around him, how could he have the strength to conquer Li Yuan.
Li Yuan had already captured Daxing at this moment, but he could only vent his anger in the Jiangdu Palace, which was really a bit ridiculous!
Although Yang Guang had expected this matter, when he really learned the news, it still made people feel a little unacceptable.
It turns out that the current Great Sui has really reached such a point, his grand hegemony has not yet begun, and it is about to end.
Yang Guang looked a little lost, this sense of powerlessness made him reluctant to think about other things, maybe only by indulging in wine every day could he cover up his current failure.
In any case, Yang Guang is still the emperor, even if he is unable to deal with the uprising in the Quartet now, he is still the Ninety-Five.
This is also Yang Guang's only consolation, maybe it won't be long before he will fall into complete despair.
