Yang Guang peeked at my diary and lay down like an emperor through the ages

Chapter 299: Give it a try, or live in an ignoble way
Taiyuan, Tang Guogong's mansion.

The wind and snow are gradually weakening, and it is estimated that it will stop soon.

Li Cunxiao and others gathered in the hall of the mansion one after another.

They were all waiting for Yang Wu to appear.

After a while, there was a sound of footsteps.

Then he saw Yang Wu, walking slowly from a distance.

"Your Highness."

When everyone saw Yang Wu, they all saluted.

"Ah."

Yang Wu nodded slightly in response.

"Your Highness, now that the wind and snow are about to stop, should we take action?"

Wei Wensheng asked first.

Although Taiyuan won a great victory, the battle failed to completely wipe out the rebels.

They still need to capture Mayi County to completely put the matter to rest.

Yang Wu was not in a hurry, but looked towards Li Cunxiao.

Li Cunxiao understood immediately and stepped out of the queue to hand over his hand.

"Recently, the scouts reported."

"The Li family is still in Mayi County, and has set up heavy military commanders in various places."

"Looking at this posture, you are ready to defend."

Li Cunxiao said bluntly.

And this time, there is no one inside the Li family to serve as an internal response.

Therefore, if you want to capture Mayi County, you can only break through forcefully.

Then, Li Cunxiao also told all the areas where the Li family would be fortified.

After Yang Wu heard this, he raised his eyebrows slightly.

"It seems that Li Shimin has finally unleashed his potential at this critical moment."

he murmured.

The defense areas are all powerful areas for attacking from Taiyuan.

Sentries were even set up along the way.

As long as one place falls, the other place will definitely get the news immediately.

This also means that as long as the Sui army takes action.

Then the Li family will definitely get the news quickly and be fully prepared.

Not like the battle in Taiyuan.

There was no room for retaliation, or even a hasty retreat.

"It's not easy to capture Mayi County."

Wei Wentong said with emotion.

In particular, there was Li Yuanba in the Tang army.

Although Li Cunxiao can completely rival him.

Moreover, Yang Wu has not taken action yet.

But at least it can give the Li family some confidence.

"Da da."

Yang Wu's fingers gently tapped the armrest of the chair.

It made a rhythmic sound.

No one knows what he is thinking at this moment.

After a long time, Yang Wucai slowly raised his head and looked at everyone present.

"It's time to send out troops, but what do you think about the battle in Mayi County?"

he asked directly.

"Your Highness, you have been beaten to this point, what else can you say?"

"Surge directly into Mayi County and kill all the rebels with lightning speed!"

Shan Xiongxin spoke first.

Killing Li Yuanji and Li Jiancheng was not enough for him.

It was still necessary to take down the heads of the rest of the Li family before they could vent their anger.

Therefore, Shan Xiongxin advocated sending troops immediately and attacking directly from the front.

Li Cunxiao's thoughts were similar.

Only Wei Wensheng was thinking with his head down.

He is more inclined to choose a suitable strategy.

While reducing the casualties of the Sui army, it can also wipe out all the rebels.

At this time, Wei Wensheng also became much calmer.

"Your Highness, I believe that attacking Mayi County is not the ultimate goal."

Wei Wensheng spoke slowly.

"what?"

When Shan Xiongxin heard this, he was stunned for a moment.

Why isn't capturing Mayi County the ultimate goal?

He originally wanted to have an argument with Wei Wensheng.

However, under Yang Wu's gaze, Shan Xiongxin gave up the idea.

After all, Wei Wensheng has not spoken yet.

Yang Wu indicated with his eyes that Wei Wensheng should continue.

"Our ultimate goal is to eliminate the rebels and the Li family."

"So even if Mayi County is captured, the Li family can escape from the border of Mayi County."

"Our ultimate goal is also in vain."

Wei Wensheng said bluntly.

After hearing this, Shan Xiongxin's expression softened a little.

He wondered what Wei Wensheng meant.

"Do you have any idea?"

Yang Wu asked.

"The lower official believes that the Li family's retreat should be cut off first, so that they have no way out."

"In this case, it would be more meaningful to discuss the attack on Mayi County."

Wei Wensheng said bluntly.

"Yes, cut off their retreat!"

Shan Xiongxin and others immediately became energetic.

Once the retreat is cut off, the Sui army can catch a turtle in a jar.

If the Li family retreats, they will die. Even if they succeed in breaking through, they will still enter the Sui Dynasty.

When the time comes, you will definitely live a life of hiding in Tibet.

Being eliminated is just a matter of time.

"Break the road."

Yang Wu murmured.

It is not easy to go around the rear of Mayi County from Taiyuan.

In addition, Li Shimin himself knew this.

As Mayi County retreats to the grassland, there must be heavy troops from the Li family.

Not sure, the Xuanjia Army is among them.

"This time, let's have a conspiracy."

Yang Wu retracted his thoughts and said calmly.

Hearing this, everyone's eyes turned towards him.

Conspiracy, what conspiracy?
"Save the filial piety."

Yang Wu looked at Li Cunxiao.

"The end is here!"

Li Cunxiao replied.

"You take your soldiers and horses directly from the Honghua County area and take a detour to the rear of Mayi County."

"Just bring Feihu Shibaqi."

Yang Wu ordered directly.

"what?"

Hearing this, Wei Wentong and others were dumbfounded.

Li Cunxiao and Feihu's Eighteen Riders were only eighteen people.

The number was small, and if the rebels wanted to leave, they would probably number in the tens of thousands.

And maybe Li Yuanba.

How could Feihu Shibaqi and Li Cunxiao be able to stop them alone?

However, from the look of Yang Wu, it didn't look like he was joking.

He decided to use Feihu Shibaqi and Li Cunxiao to cut off the Li family's retreat.

"promise!"

And Li Cunxiao also directly accepted.

There was no hesitation in the whole process.

After saying that, he turned and left.

"Your Highness, let me follow you!"

At this time, Shan Xiongxin spoke quickly.

And he looked at Yang Wu expectantly.

Li Cunxiao also happened to stop and looked at Yang Wu as well.

"Go."

Yang Wu nodded.

Asking Shan Xiongxin to follow him would give him the chance to fulfill his wish.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

As expected, Shan Xiongxin was overjoyed and hurriedly handed over his hand.

Hearing this, Yang Wu just nodded and said nothing more.

When Wei Wentong saw this, he was also a little ready to make a move.

However, he thought about it again and again and gave up the idea.

If Li Yuanba was here, Wei Wentong wouldn't be able to display much of his abilities.

In this case, what are you going to do next?
It's better to follow Yang Wu and see what arrangements are there.

"Your Highness, this."

Wei Wensheng opened his mouth, as if he was preparing to persuade someone.

But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them down.

How could Yang Wu change things he had already decided?

And Yang Wu's decision naturally has its own reasons.

Even if it seems to outsiders, it is unbelievable and even difficult to achieve.

But in the end, Yang Wu will tell everyone that it is not that difficult to achieve.

Even, it can be easily achieved.

Therefore, the Eighteen Flying Tigers are very likely to be able to block the rebels.

In this case, why would Wei Wensheng ask?
Shan Xiongxin hurriedly followed Li Cunxiao.

He was extremely excited and his face became extremely rosy.

As soon as Shan Xiongxin and the others left, the remaining people looked at Yang Wu eagerly.Since they are going to cut off the escape route, what should the remaining people do?
"The rest of the people and Ben will rush in directly from the front!"

Yang Wu said bluntly.

Break in directly from the front and rush into Mayi County.

In this way, the Li family also needs to dedicate a lot of troops.

Otherwise, they would simply give up on Mayi County and choose to enter the grassland from the Bingzhou area.

And this plan can bring some vitality to the Li family.

After all, if the Li family abandoned Mayi County and left directly, they would take many more troops with them.

No matter how good Li Cunxiao and others were, it would be difficult to safely prevent the Li family from leaving.

Yang Wu knew very well that with Li Shimin's character, how could he give up Bingzhou so easily?
If he leaves, the chance of returning to Bingzhou is slim.

Yang Wu didn't believe that Li Shimin was willing to do this.

Therefore, he was determined to resist Li Shimin.

Or think of a way to survive this disaster. If this is the case, by the time Li Shimin reacts and has no choice but to abandon Taiyuan and leave, it will be too late.

"promise!"

Everyone present responded one after another.

The remaining generals are Wei Wensheng, Wei Wentong and others.

The elite army is the Xiong Qu Army.

The combat effectiveness is completely sufficient.

"Your Highness!"

Wei Wensheng called suddenly.

"Ok?"

Yang Wu looked over.

"Do you want to use the Eight Bull God Crossbow?"

Wei Wensheng asked.

It just so happened that Su Dingfang's troops were expected to come to Taiyuan.

With the Eight Bull God Crossbow here, wouldn't it be easier to attack Mayi County with twice the result with half the effort?

"It's available, but it needs to be hidden and not exposed."

Yang Wu replied lightly.

"what?"

Wei Wensheng was stunned for a moment, not understanding Yang Wu's intention.

"Just do as you're told."

Yang Wu replied.

Fortunately, the wind and snow have stopped, and the accuracy of the Eight Ox God Crossbow will be greatly improved.

"promise!"

Wei Wensheng took the order.

"After attacking the city twice, I will use the Eight Bull God Crossbow to capture Mayi County in one go!"

Yang Wu added.

His purpose was to make the Li family think that they did not use the Eight Bull God Crossbow.

After the Li family relaxed their vigilance, they directly used the Eight Ox God Crossbow to fight back.

At that time, they can directly capture Mayi County in one go.

After hearing this, Wei Wensheng understood what Yang Wu meant.

At that moment, his whole person became excited.

In this way, wouldn't it be impossible for the Li family rebels to escape?
"promise!"

Wei Wensheng responded quickly.

Yang Wu then rolled his sleeves and asked Wei Wensheng, Wei Wentong and others to go down to prepare.

Several people understood and left the hall one after another.

After they all left, Yang Wu took out the traveler's diary.

He looked at the diary and thought for a moment.

Then, Yang Wu continued as usual, first writing down the date, time, etc.

Then start writing the content.

That’s what’s next.

And many views on the Li family, etc.

Of course, if there is any content that exposes Yang Wu's identity, the diary will be automatically corrected.

In this way, even if Yang Guang looked at it, he wouldn't be able to tell anything.

...

At the same time, in the direction of Mayi County.

After a period of rest, Tang Jun finally recovered.

Li Yuan also regained some sense and was able to face some problems.

You can even get out of bed and walk.

Compared to the previous situation, I don’t know how much better it is.

On this day, after Li Shimin collected intelligence from all parties.

All the core figures of the Tang Army gathered in the government office hall.

Li Yuan was also there, but his face was slightly pale.

Moreover, the whole person was still coughing.

Although it's getting better, it's not completely better.

"Go ahead."

After calming down a bit, Li Yuan said to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin nodded and walked to the center of the hall.

"The heavy snow will stop, which means the Sui army will attack at any time."

Li Shimin said bluntly.

Hearing this, everyone present felt their hearts tighten.

Although everyone understands.

The Sui army will attack sooner or later.

However, when the Sui army was approaching, people still felt nervous.

Even, a little scared.

"Everyone."

Li Shimin's voice became much deeper.

Everyone's attention was also focused on him.

"Now everyone has two choices."

"Either give up Mayi County directly and choose to enter the grassland."

"Either hold on and resist the Sui army to the end."

Li Shimin continued.

Two choices, corresponding to different results.

The former is less risky.

Moreover, after entering the grassland, the Sui army will not pursue them.

The Li family can also make peace with the Turks.

But this meant that the Li family had to leave their hometown.

It's not easy to come back.

Moreover, the Sui army only temporarily withdrew its troops.

Most likely, after a while.

The Sui army will go out again, and the Li family will have no way to retreat.

The second option is to defend Mayi County.

If you stick to it for a long time, maybe things will turn around.

"Shimin."

Li Yuan called out suddenly.

"Father."

Li Shimin responded.

"Is there any news from the Turks?"

Li Yuan asked directly.

"No."

Li Shimin nodded.

Not only was there no news, he even lost contact with the Li family.

Li Shimin knew clearly that the Turks might give up on the Li family.

The alliance already exists in name only.

It is impossible for the Turks to send a large army to support.

The Turks now are probably thinking about how to deal with the Sui army.

Shrink your troops and make preparations in advance.

"Ugh!"

Hearing this, Li Yuan let out a long sigh.

Everyone present also had different expressions.

"Father, don't put your hope in Turks."

Li Shimin said bluntly.

"Everyone, how do you choose?"

Hearing this, Li Yuan glanced at everyone and asked.

How to choose?
This is a difficult problem.

It is to choose to run away and live an ignoble existence.

Or stick to Mayi County.

Other than that, there are no other options.

At this point, it’s considered surrender.

Everyone in the Li family could not escape death.

Just let most of the rebels save their lives.

The Li family is not that aloof.

Since you must die, why don't you think of a way to take a chance?
"Ugh!"

Liu Wenjing sighed.

Pei Ji was also silent.

Obviously, several people had a hard time making a decision.

"Actually, I think we should defend it in Mayi County, at least there is a glimmer of hope."

Seeing that everyone was silent, Li Shimin spoke.

Hearing this, everyone's expressions became solemn.

Everyone is thinking about what advantages Mayi County has.

Let them stick to it.

"Where did the life come from?"

Pei Ji asked directly.

Everyone's eyes were all focused on Li Shimin.
