Let's say that while Luo Cheng was making a lot of preparations in Yangzhou, the Li Jiancheng brothers finally returned to Daxing.

After the Yangzhou incident, the relationship between Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji can be said to have completely broken down.

Although Li Jiancheng did not do anything to Li Yuanji because of his brotherly love, the disappointment in his heart and the snub on the surface have already brought the relationship between the two brothers to a freezing point.

This time he led his troops south, and Li Jiancheng was originally going to make contributions and make a wave of big things. But he didn't expect that he would return in such a mess today, and the 100,000 troops he brought with him before would rarely return at this moment.

Li Jiancheng naturally felt unwilling, but when he thought of Luo Cheng's horror, the whole person fell into silence again. Luo Cheng not only has a strong force comparable to Li Yuanba, but he is also extremely treacherous, which is really terrifying.

Although Luo Cheng did not have any direct deterrence to Li Jiancheng, what he saw left an indelible deep impression on his heart, and it was unforgettable in this life.

Of course, what is worse than Li Jiancheng is Li Yuanji.

As the direct target of Luo Cheng's pressure, Li Yuanji was the first to be frightened. Coupled with all the things that followed, Li Yuanji's mentality was close to collapse.

It is precisely because he can think of his next ending that Li Yuanji is already in despair, what he has done is for everyone to see, if he wants to hide the news, he has to wipe out all those people.

Li Yuanji naturally doesn't have this ability, in fact, he doesn't even have the ability to solve Li Jiancheng and others.

If Li Jiancheng had murderous intent and killed Li Yuanji directly on the way, he would have no choice.

After all, Li Yuanji's own strength is not strong, and the reason why he was able to go to Yangzhou with Li Jiancheng was because Li Yuan wanted to send them out to experience and increase their knowledge.

But I'm afraid Li Yuan never thought that his unintentional actions would directly lead to his eldest son and third son turning against him, and the brotherhood that seemed to be extremely harmonious in the past is now like a mortal enemy.

Although Li Jiancheng could not directly solve Li Yuanji due to etiquette, he would never hide these news, and he would definitely tell Li Yuan everything about what Li Yuanji did.

As for how Li Yuan will deal with it, and what fate Li Yuanji will end, it is not something that Li Jiancheng has to consider.

When the Li Jiancheng brothers arrived in Daxing, they were finally relieved when their eyes touched the majestic capital of the Great Sui Kingdom.

After all, this road is not stable, if it is not for a Li Yuanba to accompany him, it is uncertain whether Li Jiancheng's brothers can arrive in Daxing safely, and they can be regarded as going home at this moment.

Seeing the return of Li Jiancheng's brothers, the defenders on the city tower looked quite surprised, why were only these few people who came back, where is the rest of the army, is it possible to play hide and seek?

At this moment, the person stationed on the tower of the city is Li Yuan's son-in-law Chai Shao.

Although Chai Shao didn't know what was going on, he could more or less detect that this matter was abnormal, could it be that there was something big wrong with this southward journey, and the 100,000 army was lost?

It doesn't matter if you don't want to, Chai Shao's face changed greatly after a little consideration, this is an army of 100,000, not three or two kittens, so all of them are damaged in the south, and they are also very traumatized.

So Chai Shao sent someone to inform Li Yuan, and at the same time brought someone to the city gate to greet him.

"Built, why are only a few of your brothers coming back, and where are the 100,000 soldiers?" Chai Shao looked at Li Jiancheng hesitantly and asked with some uncertainty.

Li Jiancheng paused, his expression was a little stiff, but he also knew that since the matter had happened, it was impossible to hide it, so Li Jiancheng nodded slightly and said, "It's gone, it's just that a few of us are lucky to return." ”

Chai Shao was stunned, although he had guessed before, but after he was really sure, it was still unbelievable.

This is an army of 100,000, the elite of their Li family has been damaged like this, it is too terrifying!

Li Jiancheng slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, although he came all the way and was very tired at the moment, he didn't have the slightest idea of resting when he hit him, he had to explain the matter to Li Yuan clearly.

Li Jiancheng looked at Chai Shao and said: "Where is my father now, I want to go to see my father, now Yanyun Luocheng is violent, if I don't take more precautions, I'm afraid my Tang Dynasty will fall." ”

Chai Shao was slightly surprised when he heard Luo Cheng's name, but he soon realized that Luo Cheng was the son of Yanyun and the protagonist of this alliance, and it was not surprising that this matter had something to do with it.

So Chai Shao nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice: "My father is now handling official business in the palace, and I have already asked people to report it, so you can go with me!" ”

Originally, Li Yuanji also wanted to go with him, but when he remembered what he had done, he instantly became a little panicked, if Li Yuan knew what he had done, he was afraid that he would have the heart to cut him off!

In the face of Luo Cheng's deterrence, he was spineless, not only begging for mercy, but even betraying his own eldest brother, in this era, and even in future generations, he is a scornful person.

In this way, Chai Shao and Li Jiancheng arrived at the Tang Palace.

Chai Shao had already sent someone to report, and after Li Yuan learned the news, he kept waiting.

Seeing Li Yuan's cold and serious face, Li Jiancheng didn't care about anything else, and directly bowed down, saying: "The child has failed his father's expectations, and this time he went south not only failed to complete the task, but also lost his troops. ”

Although Li Jiancheng hadn't made things clear, Li Yuan had already seen something, his expression was indifferent, but he didn't say a word, which made everyone around him feel a lot of pressure.

Li Jiancheng could only kneel honestly, and he didn't dare to talk nonsense.

After a while, Li Yuan seemed to have figured it out, so he looked at Li Jiancheng and said, "What happened to you when you went south this time, and why did you suffer such a huge loss?" ”

Chai Shao had already sent someone to report, and only Li Jiancheng's brothers had some entourage. The 100,000-strong army was estimated to have been lost, which made Li Yuan a little incredulous.

100,000 horses is not a few thousand, how can you say that if you don't have it, it's gone?

Could it be that Nayu Culture is so powerful that the anti-king coalition will suffer such heavy losses.

No matter what the reason, Li Yuan couldn't accept it at the moment.

Hearing Li Yuan's inquiry, Li Jiancheng was silent for a while, although the matter was not glorious, but his tone was secretive, it was better to inform Li Yuan directly, it was more secure.

"Erchen didn't dare to deceive his father, originally Erchen led his troops south to Jiangdu, and he was quite victorious along the way, directly attacking Jiangdu City, capturing the traitor Yu Wenhua and, including the jade seal." Li Jiancheng said hesitantly.

He himself was a little unsure, obviously the front was smooth, why was Luo Cheng turned over in the back?

Think about it carefully, if you don't go to Yangzhou and take the jade seal directly to Daxing, at least you will have completed a task, and it will not be as embarrassing as at this moment.
