In an instant, many ideas appeared in Li Yuan's mind.
The most effective method was to spread rumors among the people, bringing up the incident of Li Erlang killing his brothers and usurping power.
Li Shi Min cared about his reputation the most.
As his father, Li Yuan knew this very well.
Li Shimin had always wanted the historian to write about the incident at Xuanwu Gate in a way that was similar to writing in spring and autumn. Li Yuan also knew about this.
Obviously, he had failed.
The ruthlessness and ruthlessness that Li Shiming had shown during the incident at Xuanwu Sect could also be applied to his current attitude towards Li Yi.
If Li Erlang could be so ruthless to his father and brother, he could certainly be so ruthless to a famous immortal general who had made great contributions.
Not to mention that Li Yi had been locked up in the Heaven Prison for three years because he did not participate in the Black Tortoise Sect.
Although the people were not very clear about this matter, once it was publicized, everyone would condemn the emperor.
In this way, Li Shiming would get the throne, which would be even hotter.
Thinking of this, Li Yuan was suddenly shocked.
Although he was the Retired Emperor in name, he had no power at all. He was a cripple who was under house arrest in the palace.
The old ministers around him had long been cleaned up by Li Er.
If he were to cause such a scene again, who could help him?
Moreover, Li Yuan was surrounded by Li Shimin's spies.
Every day, his actions would be reported to Li Shiming.
To make such a big plan like just now, he had to borrow the power of the people around him.
Li Yuan did not know who else he could use, or if there was none at all.
Who could Li Yuan find to help him spread the rumors among the people?
Currently, he and Li Shiming were maintaining a fatherly and filial relationship, but if he acted recklessly, Li Shiming would immediately notice.
At that time, what could Li Er do?
No one knew.
A man who could kill his own brother and force his father to abdicate would be killed if he knew that his father had not completely settled down.
That would be a real father and son falling out.
The thought flashed through Li Yuan's mind.
He had completely thrown it to the back of his mind.
What was the point of thinking so much?
At this age, he was already a person with half a foot in the coffin. He, Li Yuan, should just enjoy his final years of old age.
Only then would Li Erlang be at ease!
"Come, beauty! Massage my legs!"
Li Yuan still had a smile on his face, but he wasn't gloating like when he heard the news of Li Shiming's defeat.
He poured wine into his mouth and was surrounded by his concubines.
In Taiji Palace, laughter could be heard.
While Li Yuan was indulging in his love, he also had more expectations for Li Yi.
……
Pan County, Youzhou.
Li Yi was commanding his subordinates in an orderly manner.
There were many refugees entering the city, and everyone was almost overwhelmed.
Most of these refugees came from villages and counties in Youzhou Province.
After months of being trampled by three hundred thousand Turkic cavalry, almost all of Youzhou's cities were littered with corpses. The refugees didn't know where to go, because every place was the same.
They were hiding in the forest. Many of them had already died in the tiger's mouth and were eaten by the wild beasts in the mountains.
After all, in this era, hunters with some ability could live comfortably because there were always many wild beasts in the mountains. Those who entered the mountain without any ability would only die if they did not have a large group.
Under Li Yi's instructions, all the refugees who heard the news and wanted to enter Pan County had to register.
Although the commoners in this era didn't have ID cards, they could still tell if they were from the Central Plains from their accents and looks.
We can't let the Turkic spies in.
Most of these refugees had brought some gold, silver, and soft goods with them when they fled. However, these things were of little use in the mountains where the refugees lived.
In times of peace, money could buy food, but in times of war, money would only bring disaster.
When many people entered the city, they wanted to give the guards of Pan County some copper coins and silver taels, fearing that the little ghosts would be difficult to deal with.
However, under Li Yi's instructions, the deputy general had already strictly prohibited the army from accepting any bribes from the commoners.
In the beginning, the citizens were terrified. They were worried that the guards did not want them to enter, so they did not accept bribes.
Li Yi had no choice but to stick the notice at the door and let the deputy general send someone to explain it to them.
After half a month, the population of Pan County had increased to 100,000.
Of course, this 100,000 miles also included the 40,000 people that Li Yi had brought with him at the beginning.
At this moment, Li Yi was in the military tent, carefully flipping through the register that the guards had inquired about and written down by the accountant.
Suddenly, the deputy general rushed in anxiously after the announcement.
"Commander, this subordinate has received news that the Jie Li Khan has ordered two hundred thousand Turkic soldiers to surround Pan County!”
