After all, their purpose in helping Li Shimin launch a coup was to unseat Li Jiancheng, then make Li Shimin the prince, and then seek to seize the supreme position in the 95th Five-Year Plan.
If we can surpass Li Jiancheng, surpass the position of prince, directly kill Li Yuan, who is the supreme leader of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, and directly ascend to the position of the supreme leader of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, that is also an option.
Anyway, in this coup, they have always had the upper hand and have been chasing Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji instead of being chased by Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji.
Tell the soldiers of Youtun Guard that Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji are determined to be turtles. They have nothing to do with Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji for a while. In order to avoid failure, they plan to attack Li Yuan directly. If they can do it in one step, the soldiers of Youtun Guard will also have
There is a certain chance that you will believe it.
Coupled with the guidance and control of the generals they placed at all levels of Youtun Guard, there is a high chance that the officers and soldiers of Youtun Guard will follow their plan and fight Li Yuan to the end.
As for asking the soldiers of Youtun Guard to fight Li Yuan wholeheartedly, that is simply impossible.
They don't have the ability to turn more than 8,000 people into dead soldiers in an extreme period of time, so they can only use coaxing and deception, and they can only play with the odds.
Nothing can have a 100% success rate, so you can try anything with a success rate of more than 50%.
The premise is that the benefits obtained must be far higher than the risks taken, otherwise it is easy to lose even your pants.
"We don't need the soldiers of Youtun Guard to die for us willingly."
Seeing that Fang Xuanling was unwilling to speak, Li Shimin said to Du Ruhui in a low voice with a stern face.
Du Ruhui understood Li Shimin's intention immediately.
Li Shimin has moved his mind, so he doesn't need to say anything more, he can just plan according to Li Shimin's thoughts.
"In that case, I have nothing more to say."
Li Shimin nodded stiffly, looked at Fang Xuanling, and signaled Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui to make plans quickly, then make arrangements and act as soon as possible.
Time is running out for them. If they can't arrange everything before Li Yuan and his people arrive, then they will have no choice but to wait to die.
At Li Shimin's suggestion, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui got together to discuss the plan.
Soon, they came up with a very feasible plan.
Li Shimin didn't ask any further questions, and directly asked Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui to follow the plans they had discussed.
In this situation, every extra breath he could save was worth it. He didn't have much time to waste, so there was no need to ask any more questions.
Fang Xuanling and Du Ru secretly brought together the generals who had brought them to Xuanwu Gate. After a careful explanation, they signaled to Li Shimin that he could leave. There was no need to continue fighting a war of attrition with Li Yuanji here.
After receiving the instructions from Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, Li Shimin ordered without hesitation: "Leave a thousand people behind, and the others will retreat to Yiqiu Gate with me!"
A group of soldiers of the Youtun Guard who were fighting fiercely were a little confused when they heard this order, but they still followed the order and left a thousand people behind. The remaining people retreated down the steps of Xuande Gate like a tide.
Li Yuanji looked confused when he saw the soldiers of Youtun Guard suddenly retreating.
After thinking carefully for a while, he still couldn't figure out what Li Shimin wanted to do.
Li Shimin's only way to survive now is at Xuande Gate. The other two gates are heavily guarded and supported by large ordnance. It is impossible for Li Shimin to capture them.
Therefore, when Li Shimin gave up Xuandemen, he gave up his way of life.
Isn’t this in line with Li Shimin’s temperament?
Li Yuanji, who didn't understand why, calmed down for a while and approached Li Jiancheng, "Brother, Xuandemen is my second brother's only way to survive, but my second brother suddenly gave up. What do you think my second brother is going to do?"
"
Li Jiancheng was confused, very confused.
He was holding his broken leg and resenting Li Yuanji. Li Yuanji suddenly came to him and said this suddenly, which made him a little confused.
Li Yuanji stretched out his hand and pinched Li Jiancheng's broken leg, and asked again amidst Li Jiancheng's screams: "You are talking, what on earth do my second brothers want to do?"
Li Jiancheng screamed and glared fiercely at Li Yuanji, unwilling to say a word.
The strength in Li Yuanji's hand increased a bit, and Li Jiancheng couldn't hold it anymore, "How do I know?! Maybe he gave up because he knew there was nothing he could do to save the situation!"
Li Yuanji shook his head without hesitation: "No way, my second brother is not the kind of person who gives up easily."
The sweat on Li Jiancheng's forehead was so painful that he pushed Li Yuanji's hand while shouting: "Then he ran away from somewhere else!"
Li Yuanji frowned slightly and said: "I have sealed the three portals in the north, where else can he get out?"
Li Jiancheng pushed Li Yuanji's hand away, grinned and gasped, "There is also the waterway of Jinshui River!"
Li Yuanji's eyes suddenly widened.
Yes! There is also the waterway of Jinshui River!
The Jinshui River of the Tang Dynasty did not circle the imperial city like the Jinshui River of other dynasties.
The Jinshui River of the Tang Dynasty was inside the imperial city. It was in the shape of an inner shape and connected with the north and south sides of Taiji Palace. One end came out along the Qingming Canal in the southwest corner of the imperial city, the other end came out along the Longshou Canal in the southeast corner of the imperial city, and the other end was in the imperial city.
The central location of Xuanwu Gate and Anli Gate leads directly to the Hundred Beasts Spring in Xineiwan.
Li Shimin couldn't take Xuanwu Gate, couldn't attack Anli Gate, and now he gave up Xuande Gate, so the only waterway he could go through was the waterway connected by Jinshui River.
"Xue Wanshu! Xue Wanche!"
Li Yuanji straightened up and loudly greeted Xue Wanshu and Xue Wanche who were guarding outside the city gate building.
Xue Wanshu and Xue Wanche soon appeared in the city gate building.
Li Yuanji decisively ordered: "Xue Wanshu! You and your people will guard here to guard against my second brother's false shot! Xue Wanche, take your Xue family's tribe and follow me!"
Although Xue Wanshu didn't know what Li Yuanji was going to do, he saw Li Yuanji's excited look and bowed without hesitation: "Here!"
Xue Wanche felt that Li Yuanji was going to take him to fight, so he became excited. After quickly putting together the pieces belonging to their Xue family, he ran to Li Yuanji in a hurry, waiting for the next order.
Li Yuanji asked Xue Wanche to carry Li Jiancheng on his back, took them down Xuandemen in a hanging basket, and quickly rushed to the location of Jinshui River.
After spending a full three-quarters of an hour, we arrived at the Jinshui River.
Then I saw a group of black armors holding crossbows, aiming at a small boat in the river.
There are three figures sitting on the boat and two figures lying down.
After seeing clearly who the three figures sitting there were, Li Yuanji laughed wildly.
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"
"Hahahahaha!"
"..."
"Hehe, hehehe hahaha..."
"..."
Li Jiancheng lay on Xue Wanche's back. After seeing clearly the three figures sitting on the boat, he instantly forgot about the pain in his legs and shoulders and laughed wildly.
As early as the appearance of the black armor, the faces of the three figures on the boat were gloomy to the point of dripping water, and their hearts dropped to the bottom.
After seeing Li Yuanji, Li Jiancheng and their entourage appear, their expressions became extremely ugly.
After Li Yuanji and Li Jiancheng laughed unabashedly and wildly, their faces turned purple, and the expressions on their faces changed from gloomy to angry.
"Yuanji, you win if you win, why do you have to humiliate me like this? No matter what, I am still your second brother!"
Sitting on the boat, Li Shimin, dressed as a soldier of the Right Guards, gritted his back molars and spoke in a heavy tone.
Li Yuanji beat his chest and laughed loudly: "I thought that my second brother would lose, but I didn't expect that my second brother would lose in this way!"
Li Jiancheng laughed for a while, and then laughed and said: "I thought I was the most unbearable one in our Li family, and I also thought I was the most embarrassing one among our brothers. I didn't expect that you were more unbearable and embarrassing than me. In order to escape for your life, you
He actually went to the dog hole in Jinshui River!
Hahahahaha!
Li Jiancheng laughed wildly, laughed heartily, and hit Xue Wanche on the shoulder, as if he wanted to laugh out all the depression he had accumulated over the years.
The reason why Li Jiancheng called the waterway from the Jinshui River to the outside of the Taiji Palace the Dog Cave was because the waterway was so small that it could only accommodate a small boat.
In order to prevent palace residents from escaping from the palace through the water channel, there are two iron fences in the middle of the water channel.
Therefore, except for small animals that can swim, other creatures cannot get out of the gap in the fence in the middle of the waterway.
In addition, in terms of his and Li Shimin's status, any door smaller than the upper middle gate of the powerful man's house is a dog hole.
"The winner is the king, and the loser is the bandit. Since I am defeated, I will kill you or hack you to death."
Li Shimin didn't want to be humiliated anymore. After saying something in a heavy voice, he slowly closed his eyes and waited for death.
Seeing this, Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling, who were sitting on both sides of him, each sighed and slowly closed their eyes.
When Li Jiancheng heard this, he laughed loudly and said: "Yuanji! Hurry! Help him!"
Li Yuanji felt that he had almost ridiculed Li Shimin, so he put away the smile on his face, glanced at Li Jiancheng, and said in a nonchalant manner: "Shut up! You are also a defeated general, and you still have the nerve to laugh at others.
!”
Li Jiancheng smiled nonchalantly and said: "Although I lost, the defeat was miserable, but I didn't get into a dog hole!"
When Li Shimin heard this, he suddenly opened his eyes and glared at Li Jiancheng angrily.
Seeing this, Li Jiancheng became even happier and laughed louder.
Li Yuanji exhaled a breath and said to Li Jiancheng: "But your leg is broken!"
Li Jiancheng was stunned for a moment, then continued to laugh wildly: "But I didn't get into a dog hole!"
Li Yuanji glanced at Li Jiancheng and said calmly: "But I have no intention of killing him. I am also planning to leave you to his care."
Li Jiancheng's laughter stopped suddenly, and his eyes widened in horror.
Li Yuanji asked with a smile: "Are you very happy?"
