Chapter 228: Too Much Like You
The bloody battlefield outside Luoyang city.
Wang Ming is now protected by hundreds of soldiers.
All of these soldiers have already begun to enter the Grandmaster realm.
This army is extremely powerful. With their protection, it is difficult for Ning Daoqi and his men to continue to encircle and kill Wang Ming.
and,
At this time, the leaders of both sides were in a daze.
These two people are none other than Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin.
They never thought that their father would appear on the battlefield in Luoyang, and was captured from Chang'an to Luoyang.
The fact that their father was able to capture Yang Guang's men from the heavily guarded imperial palace in Chang'an City meant that something extremely huge had happened in their rear.
This caused an inexplicable panic in their hearts.
If it is really as they think in their hearts, then they will face an extremely cruel reality.
Li Shimin and his family all embarked on the path of conquering the world.
This road is a road that can only go forward but not backward.
Make it or die.
If they fail, their Li family will inevitably suffer an extremely terrible blow.
It might cause the Li family to disappear into thin air.
Li Shimin shouted loudly: "Father, what's going on?"
Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, who were standing beside him, also wanted to ask this question.
Li Yuan was brought to Luoyang by the Jiuyang Army at full speed from Chang'an all the way day and night, which made him suffer a lot. His face was extremely pale at this time, and he looked not in a good mental state at first glance.
"What else could it be? Isn't it obvious?"
Li Yuanji stammered at this time: "Then...then..."
Finally he looked around and said nothing more.
The question he wanted to ask was whether anything had happened to the grain route. But as soon as he opened his mouth he realized that he couldn't ask that.
Once there is a problem with the food supply, his army of 200,000 will be in big trouble.
There is a possibility of a mutiny on the spot.
Shi Feixuan brought the bootlicker Xu Ziling to Fan Qinghui and asked him to heal her master.
Fan Qinghui said: "Tang Emperor Li Yuan has been captured by Yang Guang, and things are getting troublesome."
Shi Feixuan nodded and said, "Yes! If Yang Guang lets Li Yuan order Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin to surrender, the world will fall back into the hands of the tyrant Yang Guang, and the common people will once again live under the oppression of the unjust and incompetent Yang Guang. How miserable the people will be!"
Fan Qinghui shook his head and said, "They will not surrender."
Kou Zhong usually followed Xu Ziling wherever he went. When he heard what Fan Qinghui and the others were saying, he asked, "Why?"
Fan Qinghui said softly, "Both Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin have the potential to become great kings, especially Li Shimin. Emperors are always ruthless, and they will never surrender for Li Yuan. Just like Liu Bang would not surrender to Xiang Yu just because his father was going to be boiled."
After a pause, Fan Qinghui continued, "Besides, Li Jiancheng and his men have no way of surrendering."
Kou Zhong said thoughtfully: "Senior, do you mean the Demon Sect?"
Fan Qinghui did not continue to answer, but closed her eyes and cooperated with Xu Ziling in healing.
The Demon Sect put all of its pressure on Li Jiancheng. Did he want to surrender?
I'm afraid he would be torn to pieces alive by the people from the Demon Sect on the spot.
same,
Li Shimin was also unable to surrender.
The Buddhist teaching is compassion.
However, the Buddhist sect headed by Cihang Jingzhai is actually just a guise of Buddhism, but it is actually a genuine martial arts sect. It can even be said that it is an alternative aristocratic family.
Li Shimin wanted to surrender and let their investment go to waste, and see if these nuns and monks would recite some scriptures to Li Shimin.
Many people present understood this principle, and Li Yuan also understood it.
"Yang Guang, you captured me because you want me to order Jiancheng and Shimin to surrender, right?"
Wang Ming said: "That's what I really mean."
Li Yuan smiled and said, "It is possible that they will surrender."
Wang Ming laughed and said, "Hahahaha!!! You two older sons are really filial!"
Li Yuan snorted coldly: "Humph!"
Then there was silence.
Wang Ming never expected Li Yuan to force them to surrender from the beginning.
It's just to let the Jiuyang Army steal their hometown and destroy their stable rear base.
Arresting Li Yuan was just a matter of convenience.
Besides, Li Yuan’s role has already played out.
Li Yuan didn't need to say anything or do anything, he just needed to come to the battlefield.
Just showing your face can play a huge role.
Now it is not so effective against Li Jiancheng's 200,000 troops.
His appearance also meant that a huge change had occurred in Li Tang's rear area, which could disrupt the enemy's morale.
The larger the number of armies in ancient times, the more difficult it was to control them. Morale became particularly important. Once the military morale was unstable, a total collapse was likely.
This was what Wang Ming had previously planned to use to deal with Li Shimin's million-strong army.
Li Yuan shook his head and sighed: "Jiancheng and Shimin are both talented emperors. They will not surrender for me."
Wang Ming smiled and said, "You can see it clearly."
The leaders of all the forces in this world are masters of martial arts.
It can be said that the top masters in this world are basically the leaders of major forces.
Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin were also good at martial arts.
Wang Ming and his friends did not conceal their conversation at all, so it was naturally heard by Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng. At this time, their eyes were extremely strange.
Li Shimin and the others had naturally noticed the subtle changes in their expressions, so he said to Li Yuan, "I have always had a question. Half of your country was basically conquered by Li Shimin. He has performed so well, why don't you want to make him the crown prince?"
When Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng heard this, they couldn't help but prick up their ears and listen carefully to their father's words, saying this question that had puzzled them for a long time.
Not only the two of them, but also those under their command who were good at martial arts and could hear the words were silently waiting for the answer.
Li Yuan glanced at Wang Ming and was silent for a while. He guessed Wang Ming's plan in an instant. He just wanted to alienate the relationship between his two sons!
Everyone says that Li Yuan is a waste and all his achievements were achieved by his two sons.
In fact, this is a misunderstanding.
Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng were good, but Li Yuan was not simple at all either.
Li Yuan should not have answered this question, but now he has let it go. He looked at Wang Ming with a fierce look and said, "Shimin is indeed excellent, and I am very satisfied with him, but... Shimin is too similar to you, Yang Guang. You are simply a carbon copy. How can I make him the crown prince?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the audience was shocked and the fire of gossip burned fiercely.
Li Shimin's mind was confused, and it seemed as if thunder was rumbling in his ears.
Although the others' gazes were hidden, Li Shimin could see the strange feeling deep in their eyes.
