The Han People Must Not Be Slaughtered By The Outsiders!
……
Chang 'an Fortress!
Dew Palace!
After Li Yuan received the urgent news from Pingzhou, he quickly summoned Pei Ji, Xiao Yu, Gao Shilian, Li Jiancheng, and the others.
Li Yuan's voice was a little dull.
"Goguryeo has an army of one hundred thousand, personally led by their King Tu Xian! Pingzhou only had 6,000 soldiers, so how could they defend Pingzhou? What do you think?"
Hearing Li Yuan's words, Pei Ji, Xiao Yu, and the others were helpless.
Seeing that no one responded, Pei Ji could only cup his hands and say,"
"Your Majesty. Now that His Highness the King of Qin had arrived in Henan, defeating Dou Jiande's troops was inevitable! Once Henan is recovered, the remaining evil in the Great Tang will be completely wiped out!”
Xiao Yu also said,
"His Highness the King of Qin has taken away hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Those soldiers must not be moved! The soldiers and horses inside and outside Chang 'an City could not be moved. After all, the Turks in the north were still restless!”
How could Li Yuan not know Pei Ji and Xiao Yu's words?
But was that why he didn't save Pingzhou?
There were hundreds of thousands of people in Pingzhou!
"So, you're giving up on Pingzhou?" Li Yuan asked coldly.
As the founding emperor of the Great Tang, Li Yuan could not make such a decision!
Li Jiancheng stepped forward and said,"
"Father. The Goguryeon army of 100,000 had been stationed at the border, and they had not dared to make a move! Now that his second brother had just started attacking Dou Jiande, the Goguryeons had already moved!
Clearly, Goguryeo was colluding with Dou Jiande!
If we send our second brother to attack Goguryeo, we will definitely fall into Dou Jiande's trap!”
Li Yuan nodded slightly at Li Jiancheng's words!
Gao Shilian also said,
"Your Majesty, what the Crown Prince said is extremely reasonable! Moreover, if the King of Qin were to reinforce Pingzhou, the journey would be more than 2,000 miles! There was no time at all!
Even if it was in time! When they arrived at Pingzhou! He would no longer have the strength to fight against Goguryeo!”
"Sigh!"
Li Yuan sighed heavily.
During the Sui Yang Emperor's reign, he had conquered Goguryeo three times, but he was defeated for various reasons!
Now that the Great Tang had just been established, Li Yuan truly did not have the confidence to wage war against Goguryeo!
Now, the best solution seemed to be to give up Pingzhou!
He would let the Pingzhou garrison and citizens fend for themselves!
"Imperial Father, I only hope that the Pingzhou soldiers and civilians can hold on to Pingzhou City tenaciously. Then, after Second Brother annihilates Dou Jiande's troops, we can march north to support Pingzhou. Only then can we save the Pingzhou people from the fire and water!”
Li Jiancheng comforted him!
Li Yuan nodded slightly and sighed. This is the only way!"
……
Yizhou!
Inside the Martial Imperial Manor!
In front of Li Yuanba stood a travel-worn man who covered the sun.
Yan Ri had just returned from Pingzhou with the latest military intelligence.
"Your Highness, the Pingzhou garrison is desperately holding on. The Pingzhou Provincial Governor has died in battle, and many of the commoners have fled. The remaining commoners have picked up their weapons and are defending Pingzhou City with the garrison!”
Masked Sun seemed to be moved by the sight of the army and the people united.
At this moment, when he spoke, he even choked up a little!
To be able to make a tough man like Yanni choke, one could imagine how critical the situation in Pingzhou was!
What about Chang 'an Fortress?"
Li Yuanba asked.
A woman walked out from the shadows. It was the Startling Salamander.
"Chang 'an Fortress has completely given up on Pingzhou!"”
" Hehe." Li Yuanba smiled coldly." A small city like Pingzhou is indeed hard to catch the attention of the high officials in the court!”
Li Yuanba also knew that for the Great Tang, defeating Dou Jiande was the most important thing!
However, when the lives of hundreds of thousands of people were placed in front of Li Yuanba…
Li Yuanba would still choose the people!
The Han people must not be slaughtered by the non-humankind!
The territory of the Han people must not be occupied by the foreign races!
Li Yuan could easily abandon his people and the border prefecture!
But Li Yuanba definitely couldn't do it!
"Summon Xue Rengui and Xu Chu." Li Yuan was overbearing.
"Here!" He covered the sun and kowtowed before leaving the hall.
Soon, the muscular Xu Chu and the lean Xue Rengui walked into the hall quickly!
"Xu Chu, Xue Rengui, it's time for you to make a contribution!”Li Yuanba said in a deep voice.
Xu Chu and Xue Rengui immediately became extremely energetic!
Especially Xue Rengui.
That pair of eyes seemed to have become as straight as an eagle in an instant!
"I want you to lead 800 Tiger Leopard Cavalry to Pingzhou at night! You must reach Pingzhou within two days!" Li Yuan was overbearing.
"Here!"
Military orders were like mountains. Xu Chu and Xue Rengui agreed without any hesitation!
All they needed was obedience!
"Good! Go! Based on my understanding of Goguryeo, they will launch a fierce attack in two days! At that time, the remaining defenders of Goguryeo would not be able to hold on!
If you can reach Pingzhou in two days, you might be able to save Pingzhou from being breached!
At that time, you will be the benefactors of all the soldiers and citizens of Pingzhou!”Li Yuanba said as he looked at Xu Chu and Xue Rengui!
Xu Chu said in a low voice,
"Your Highness, don't worry. We will definitely reach Pingzhou within two days.”
Xue Rengui also said,
"The civilians of Pingzhou will never fall under the iron hooves of the non-humankind!”
As if sensing Xu Chu and Xue Rengui's ambitions, he said,
Li Yuanba was also moved and immediately said,"Serve the wine!"
Shocking Salamander personally brought over some wine. Li Yuanba, Xue Rengui, and Xu Chu clinked their glasses fiercely.
"Go to Pingzhou first! This king will be there soon!"
"Also, secretly depart from Qingzhou! All of you must wear masks and never reveal your identities!”
Xu Chu and Xue Rengui nodded in agreement!
After drinking the wine in their glasses, Xue Rengui and Xu Chu left the hall!
He immediately counted the 800 Tiger Leopard Cavalry!
They secretly arrived at Qingzhou from Yizhou, and then quickly marched from Qingzhou to Pingzhou!
Li Yuanba had his own considerations for sending the 800 Tiger Leopard Cavalry over first.
After all, it was a long journey from Yizhou to Pingzhou.
If he led an army, it would be unrealistic for him to arrive in two days.
Thus, he could only let the 800 Tiger Leopard Cavalry go first.
Then, Li Yuanba would personally lead the white-robed army to retreat!
"You guys can leave too! Remember to report the military situation in Pingzhou in time.”Li Yuanba waved his hand, indicating that Startling Salamander and Masked Sun could go down!
However, Startling Salamander and Masked Sun looked in the same direction at the same time and gave Li Yuanba a look.
Li Yuanba nodded slightly and waved his hand.
Only then did Startling Salamander and Masked Sun exit the hall!
The look in the eyes of the Startling Salamander and Masked Sun was very obvious. They were saying that there was someone hiding in the hall!
Of course, Li Yuanba had already discovered it!
He also knew who was hiding in the hall!
"Come out! You've been hiding inside since I came in.”Li Yuanba said in a deep voice.
At this moment.
The place where the curtains hung in the hall shook slightly.
A woman in a red short skirt walked out from behind the curtain. The short skirt did not reach her knees, and it was extremely charming and sexy!
This woman!
It was Yang Shiyin!
