Chang 'an Game! The Barbarians were attacking the city!
……
In Liaodong, heavy snow began to fall.
Early in the morning, Li Yuanba stood on the city wall and could see that snow had already accumulated outside the city.
"It's snowing. This was the perfect time for the Goguryeon barbarians to attack.”
Unknowingly, Yang Shiyi had appeared beside Li Yuanba.
"It should be in the next two days. Goguryeo would launch an all-out attack on Pingzhou.”
Li Yuanba said.
The Network Organization had already sent back information that the Goguryeon barbarians in Chongzhou were being mobilized at high speed.
The destination was Pingzhou!
"Can we still hold on?"
Yang Shiyi's beautiful eyes looked ahead as she asked in confusion.
Li Yuanba's tone was extremely firm.
"We can, we have to! Even if we can't defend it, we have to!"
……
The battle reports from Pingzhou were sent back to Chang 'an City from time to time.
The Xia Emperor Dou Jiande had been escorted back to Chang 'an by Li Shimin.
Li Shimin's tens of thousands of Left Military Guards were camped 30 miles north of Chang 'an, but Li Yuan still requested to stay put.
"Imperial Father, Liaodong has been snowing for three days! Pingzhou City had been defended for more than a month.”Li Jiancheng said.
Li Yuan was shocked!
He had originally thought that a small city like Pingzhou would only last three days under the assault of the Goguryeon barbarians.
However…
This small city of Pingzhou had lasted for more than a month!
Until now.
They had not been breached by Goguryeo!
It was truly miraculous!
"Have you figured out the true identity of the reinforcements that suddenly appeared in Pingzhou City?”Li Yuan asked with his hands behind his back.
Li Shi Min shook his head," Father, we still haven't figured it out."
This army was all wearing masks, so it was impossible to figure out their true identities.
Especially their commander. He only knew that the people of Pingzhou referred to him as the Barbarian Slaughterer General, while the Goguryeon barbarians referred to him as the Yama General.”
Li Yuan muttered," Barbarian Slaughterer General…Yama General…Oh right, I asked you to investigate Yuan Ba. Have you investigated him thoroughly?”
Li Shi Min nodded." The scouts have reported. Yuan Ba had always stayed in Yizhou City and had never left.”
"The Consort of Qi is still in Yizhou City." According to the information sent back by Consort Qi, Yuan Ba was still in Yizhou.”
Li Yuan nodded slightly.
Li Yuan was originally curious if this Barbarian Slaughterer General was the Martial King Li Yuanba.
But now, it seemed like he was the only one.
He was worrying too much!
That was true.
Li Yuanba had already taken back all of his military authority.
How could there still be such a brave and skilled army!
"Continue to investigate. He had to find out the origin of this army.”Li Yuan said.
"Father, it doesn't matter whether we investigate or not." Li Jiancheng smiled.
According to our secret conversation in Liaodong, the Goguryeon barbarians are gathering.
Obviously, they wanted to take advantage of the heavy snow to launch a general attack on Pingzhou.
After this attack, Pingzhou City would definitely cease to exist, and this brave and mysterious army would probably be annihilated!”
Li Yuan placed his hand on the table and sighed. He said helplessly,"
"Sigh! If Pingzhou lost…Next year, they would definitely raise an army to attack Goguryeo!
The lives of hundreds of thousands of citizens in Pingzhou must be paid back with the blood of these barbarians!”
"Here!"
"Here!"
Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin nodded.
Li Yuan waved his hand and the two of them left Taiji Palace.
After leaving Taiji Palace, Li Jiancheng returned to the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace, while Li Shimin returned to the Divine General's estate!
Divine General Tian Ce's estate!
Li Shimin told Gao Shilian, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Cheng Yaojin and the others about what he had discussed with his father today!
After hearing this, Fang Xuanling cupped his hands and said,"
"Your Highness. Recently, we reported back from a secret conversation in the palace that the Crown Prince is colluding with two concubines in the palace and often lets these two concubines whisper in the Emperor's ear.”
Zhangsun Wuji sighed.
"Your Highness. The Crown Prince had already begun to take action. We have to speed up."
Du Ruhui nodded and said,
"Your Highness. When spring comes next year, His Majesty will definitely send you to crusade against Goguryeo. At that time, the Crown Prince would definitely cause trouble in Chang 'an.
At that time, we won't be able to control the situation!”
Li Shiming's hands started to beat the table.
He was also considering it!
Now that he was the King of Qin, he had many things to consider.
There was an irreconcilable conflict between him and the Crown Prince.
There was also the conflict between the meritorious nobles he represented and the great clans!
Once these contradictions were not reconciled,
What would bring him would be a disaster!
"Let me think about it." Li Shi Min sighed.
Waving his hand, he dismissed the ministers of the Heavenly Strategy Divine General's estate.
When the door of the hall was pushed open,
The howling northern wind swept in.
Li Shi Min couldn't help but wrap his robe around himself!
The conflict between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin in Chang 'an City was intensifying rapidly. The game between them had also reached a white-hot stage.
Meanwhile, in Pingzhou.
The snow fell even harder!
Early in the morning, Li Yuanba pushed open the door. The snow outside the door quickly poured into the room.
After breakfast, Xu Chu and Xue Rengui came to Li Yuanba's side.
"My lord, the barbarians are here!"
These few words made Li Yuanba stand up quickly.
These few days, Li Yuanba had been waiting for the barbarians to attack the city. Now, it had finally come.
He quickly arrived at the city wall.
Yang Shiyi, Luo Yi, and the others were already standing on the city wall.
However, their expressions were extremely bad, as if they had encountered something extremely difficult to resolve.
Li Yuanba had an ominous feeling.
Then, he quickly looked out of the city.
Tens of thousands of barbarian cavalrymen were gathered outside the city. They were all wearing black armor, and there were several flags with the words "Slaughterer" on them!
It was a sign that this was the army of the late king! They were also the main force of the Goguryeon barbarians!
And in front of these barbarians were thousands of Han civilians!
These commoners were obviously from Chongzhou City!
These commoners were all dressed in thin clothes. In this extremely cold weather, they were so cold that their bodies were trembling!
Crying and wailing filled the air!
The scene was extremely cruel!
"General, please open the city gates.”
"Please let us in. We don't want to die yet!”
"General, please save us. Please save my child who is still in swaddling clothes.”
"Father, mother, your child is useless. I actually let you freeze to death here.”
"Sister, wake up, wake up. You can't sleep. If you sleep, you'll die.”
"Heavens, please open your eyes and save us!”
……
The soldiers on the city wall were all filled with tears.
Yang Shiyi, who had always been iron-blooded, could not help but sob at this moment!
Luo Yi was so angry that his face turned even redder. His hand gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, and he wanted to rush out of the city!
