While Li Jiancheng was still suffering from gains and losses on the way to defeat and escape, a farce of deceit was being staged on the Taiji Hall of Chang'an City.

Faced with the general trend of Li Jiancheng leading an army of 100,000 to flee one after another, Li Yuan had to throw out a question that he had to face in the court, "Do you need to abandon Hedong and stick to Guanzhong?" ”

Such an issue has been put on the court, and it can be seen that Li Yuan is not optimistic about the situation in Hedong, but it does not mean that he really wants to give up Hedong.

The reason why Li Yuan proposed this motion was just to see how many people in the court had confidence in the current war situation, and how many people still had confidence in the Tang Dynasty he established; Judging from the ordinary voices of his subordinates, the situation is not optimistic, and many ministers did not hesitate to echo his proposal.

This means that his fake show is likely to be done!

For Hedong, Li Yuan has an inseparable emotion, when he was in the third expedition to Goryeo, he was just a guard captain Shaoqing who was shouting angrily by Yang Guang's side, if he didn't go to Hedong to suppress bandits, if he didn't become the ambassador of Hedong to arrest, how could there be Longxing in Taiyuan?

Li Yuan regretted the decision to let Li Jiancheng lead the troops to rescue that day, in fact, this decision was more out of political considerations than the best choice in terms of military affairs.

Now that Guanzhong has decided, who is not feasible to crusade against the Xiliang army, why must Li Shimin be sent there, but the army in his hands will go to join Li Jiancheng?

Isn't it to consolidate Li Jiancheng's prestige as the crown prince, and isn't it worried that Li Shimin will support the army too much?

The current situation proves how naïve Li Yuan's original idea of letting Li Jiancheng march to Taiyuan and Li Shimin's army to rescue him was; And the defeat in the Valley of Sparrows and Rats just proves how immature Li Jiancheng is currently fighting against the group army!

The current situation is mainly caused by Li Yuan himself.

The court is still discussing the "give up Hedong!" "It's not true, this smokescreen can see the real thoughts of the courtiers, and it can also confuse the enemy.

What is hateful is that Hedong is not a shallow water plain, and Li Jiancheng is not Li Shimin.

When facing Xue Ju's army that day, Li Yuanyi relied on the grain in Guanzhong and the soldiers in Chang'an, could endure Li Shimin's defeat, and personally encouraged him to make a comeback.

But the current situation no longer allows Li Jiancheng to lose, if he loses Hedong, Li Yuan really can't find any way out.

Whether Hedong wants it or not is not a real question, the question is, does Li Shimin really need to wipe the prince's ass at this time? Where is Li Jiancheng's way out after that?

It was Li Yuan's grace to allow Li Shimin to open the mansion, but after Li Shimin's Tiance Mansion flourished, Li Yuan thought more about the human tragedy of fratricidal brothers in the future.

Can now ........

Just as Li Yuan was sitting on the dragon chair and staring at the civil and military officials, Li Shimin came out of the crowd and said, "Father, don't give up in Guanzhong!" Taiyuan is the land of His Majesty's Longxing and the foundation of the Tang Dynasty; The abundant products of Hedong and the solid life of the people are an important guarantee for the prosperity of Kyoto. If you give up Hedong, wouldn't it be equivalent to giving up your people to thieves, which will inevitably lead to the separation of the court and the people! Please Your Majesty allocate me 50,000 elites, and the sons will destroy Liu Wuzhou and recover the land of Fenjin! ”

Li Shimin, the king of Qin, asked for war, which immediately attracted the support of the military generals, and the main battle faction among the ministers also stood up to support Li Shimin's decision.

Li Yuan was quite moved by this, in fact, he had long been interested in Li Shimin's choice of the leader of this big battle, but he didn't expect to make such a big circle and take many detours because of his own careful thinking.

Let's hope it's a good thing!

Li Yuan could only silently make a wish at this moment, but the question of how to send troops was not suitable for discussion in the court, so Li Yuan left a number of principal officials of relevant departments and immediately announced his retirement from the court.

Three days later, Li Yuan gathered the army of Guanzhong and drove the expedition in person!

To Dehuayin Changchun. After the palace, Li Yuan personally handed over Li Tang's family background, a total of 80,000 elite soldiers, to Li Shimin, and made the decision that "if Li Shimin does not win, I will not return to Chang'an".

The mourning soldiers will win! Li Shimin is full of confidence in this battle.

As if he had known that Li Tang would break the kettle and sink the boat, just when the court in Chang'an City was still discussing whether to give up Hedong, Liu Wuzhou decisively transferred the 50,000 troops of the Song Jingang Department who went to Yanmen back to Hedong as a backup.

In the next big battle, Li Tang's total strength will reach a rare 180,000 troops, while Liu Wuzhou's side will also have 110,000 troops.

The scale of this battle is comparable to the decisive battle between the Universe Culture and the coalition army and the Wagang Army of the Harmony and Yang Shanhui, but what will be the final result?

As the season crept into October, Lu County, which had been besieged for nearly three months, finally had a change, which may not be appropriate.

Because the Wagang army had quietly increased its troops by 20,000 before, Cheng Yanjin and Pei Yuanqing relied on these almost impossible new forces to gradually encroach on Langya, and occupied two county towns successively.

Lu County has now become a real place of four wars.

Fortresses often disintegrate from within, which can also explain the decline of the Xu family's army.

What Xu Yuanlang was most afraid of was Su You's strong ships and cannons, so he had always been focused on defense, but Su You's fleet had not been seen for several months.

After spending a great deal of effort on guarding against people everywhere, but without any effect, people are easily depressed.

I also heard that Langya County lost two counties in a row, which made Xu Yuanlang seriously ill, and he is still lying on the couch sighing for a long time, shouting that God is unfair.

Just as Xu Yuanlang was calculating how many days the grain and grass in the city could last, he heard the guards outside the door greet him in a low voice, "Childe......."

"Has my father woken up?" Xu Chang's voice came in, and he seemed to be a little anxious.

"Come in." The guards didn't notice that Xu Yuanlang woke up or not, and when he was about to push the door in, Xu Yuanlang immediately shouted, and then coughed dryly.

Xu Chang pushed the door in, turned around and closed the door, and then asked with a smile, "Father, are you better?" ”

"I....... I'm afraid we're going to get to the last step. Xu Yuanlang shook his head, and then asked, "I think you seem to have something to find me, let's talk about it." ”

"Dad, Liu Shiche is going to rebel!" Xu Chang looked back at the door he had just closed and whispered.

"Rebellion?" Xu Yuanlang frowned, there is no word that appears more frequently than these two words, just like the "revolution" in the troubled times of the late Qing Dynasty. order the party", just like the "anti-revolution. life".

It's just a trend of the times. "Life" is just a neutral word, just like "ground". Lord", as in "Made. Anti".

"Anti-leather. What the hell is life!

The shouting of rebellion against the old Sui court is popular with the masses, but rebellion against the rebels is definitely "anti-revolution. fate", although the sky is reasonable, Xu Yuanlang suddenly felt dumb and laughed!

Lao Tzu just eats the bowl of rice of rebellion, and now someone dares to rebel against Lao Tzu, isn't this a big knife in front of Guan Gong?

Xu Chang said with his strong anger, "After my father fell ill, Liu Shiche's antipathy was expressed, and the frequency of his conspiracies with several generals was really ...... The child couldn't rest assured, so he arranged for someone to be by his side in case of accidents! According to the information from the informant, he is likely to open the city tomorrow night to welcome Li Jing's army into the city! ”

"This ......." Xu Yuanlang just opened his mouth to say a word, and he didn't know how to continue.

To be honest, Xu Yuanlang also knew that his rebellion could not continue, and when Xu Chang came in just now, he planned to make his proposal to surrender Li Jing clear.

Unexpectedly, Liu Shiche has the same ideas as himself, but the same purpose does not mean that he is like-minded!

Liu Shiche can openly and honestly explain the intention of surrender, but the nature of the military advice is completely different! - This is to sell yourself to get the greatest benefit!

For such subordinates, what Xu Yuanlang has to do is naturally "kill without forgiveness"!

Seeing that his father wanted to speak and stopped, his face was cloudy, Xu Chang became even more anxious, "Father, you have something to say!" ”

Xu Yuanlang let out a long sigh, and then gritted his teeth and said, "What else can I say now.......

When Xu Chang heard this, he originally thought that Xu Yuanlang was already sitting still, but after looking at his gestures, he finally understood; Xu Yuanlang has gone through strong winds and waves, and now he almost capsized in the gutter, how can he swallow this breath?

How could Xu Yuanlang tolerate such a betrayal?

Even at the end of the road, he will choose to burn the jade and the fish will die, which is the biggest reason why he has not opened his mouth to surrender to Li Jing.

Xu Yuanlangzhi stopped talking about it, but he was worried that the wall had ears.

"How many of them?" A grim color flashed on Xu Yuanlang's face, and he asked in a low voice.

Xu Chang then whispered a few names, Xu Yuanlang frowned, speechless for a long time.

There weren't many generals around Xu Yuanlang in the first place, and after listening to the names of a few people in Xu Chang's mouth at this time, he sadly found out how alienated he was from his subordinates, and how popular it was to surrender Li Jing!

Seeing that Xu Yuanlang fell into silence again, Xu Chang asked anxiously, "When will we do it?" ”

Xu Yuanlang said slowly, "If it's late, things will change, just tonight." ”

"The boy will go and find someone, and then they will be tied up, and the five horses will be divided!" Xu Chang listened to his father's idea, and immediately lifted his spirits and responded eagerly.

Xu Yuanlang waved his hand, shook his head and said, "If you do this, it will only cause the military to be unstable." You are still dozens of trustworthy brothers lying in ambush in the hall, and then summon them over to discuss our way out with my orders, and then listen to my orders to come out together to expose their conspiracy, which also convinces the soldiers! ”

The story of "Hongmen Banquet", Xu Yuanlang used it perfectly, Xu Chang listened to it, admired it, and then left in a hurry.

Crime and punishment, betrayal and conspiracy are slowly unveiled in Xu Yuanlang's mansion like a big net......
