And very quickly.
The news that Yang Ye had sent the Northern Expedition Army to aid Youzhou had spread throughout the entire Great Sui.
Not only that.
At the same time as he sent the army to conquer the north.
Yang Ye also used his identity as the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty to call upon all the heroes in the world to go to Youzhou.
For a moment.
The world was abuzz with discussion.
But there were very few who responded to Yang Ye's call.
Although he did not understand the meaning of Yang Ye's edict.
However, these people had always insisted on this principle.
the fate of the Great Sui was about to end.
They naturally chose to continue their strength in order to fight for the world.
Of course, they would not put their strength on the so-called reinforcement of Youzhou Province.
Jin Yang.
Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, and the others were still gathered together.
He looked at the message from Luoyang.
Li Jiancheng couldn't help but laugh,"This Yang Ye is really stupid!" With the current strength of the imperial court, suppressing the domestic forces was already difficult, yet they still wanted to reinforce Youzhou!？”
In the message.
The details of Yang Ye's northern expedition had already been revealed.
On the other hand, Li Shiming was reading the contents of the secret report.
He shook his head and said with emotion,"No marriage, no tribute, no submission, no ceding of territory!”
"The Son of Heaven guards the gates of the country, and the king dies for the country.”
"This new Emperor is quite ambitious! However, it was still too childish. As long as the country was stable, what harm was there in giving some small favors to the foreign races?
If he was born in a prosperous era, he might be a ruler! However, the situation in Great Sui had deteriorated to this point. Even if he was a god, he was powerless to turn the situation around.”
It was obvious.
Li Shi Min didn't agree with Yang Ye's opinion.
However, he still admired the boldness of spirit that Yang Ye displayed.
On the other hand, Li Yuanji sneered and waved his hand disdainfully."Anyone can say beautiful words. Second brother, you think too highly of this new emperor.”
Li Shi Min shook his head and said nothing.
On the other side, Li Yuan also finished reading the secret report carefully.
Frowning, he turned to look at Li Shiming and the others."What do you think? Do you think the Northern Expedition Army will win or lose?”
As soon as he finished speaking.
Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji looked at each other and shook their heads with laughter."Father, the Turks have mobilized four hundred thousand soldiers in Youzhou!”
"What is this Northern Expedition Army? It was only 200,000 yuan. How could he be a match for the Turks?”
Li Yuan shook his head with a smile and did not refute.
However, after a while, he turned to Li Shiming and said,""Where's Shimin? What do you think?"
All of a sudden, everyone's eyes were on Li Shiming.
Because Li Shi Min was the best at using troops.
"A war is naturally not just about numbers. It has a lot to do with military strength, morale, logistics, and even generals.”
"But just like what Big Brother and Third Brother said, I also think that the chances of victory for the Northern Expedition Army are very slim." Li Shiming said with a smile.”
Li Yuan narrowed his eyes,"Shimin, continue."”
Hence, Li Shimin continued to speak under the watchful eyes of the crowd.
"First of all, since the third expedition against Goguryeo, almost all of the Imperial Court's elites have died in Liaodong. The Imperial Court's soldiers were not enough to contend with the Turks, not just in terms of quality or quantity.”
"Secondly, most of the famous generals have died in the conquest of Goguryeo or in the suppression of the uprising within the country.”
"Especially Yuwen Cheng, the number one general of the Great Sui, who actually died in the hands of the new emperor. How short-sighted!？If it were me, I would definitely put Yuwen Cheng in an important position. He would not kill Yuwen Huaji just for him.”
Before he could finish, Li Yuan asked curiously,"Shi Min, didn't the new emperor have a fierce general named Li Cunxiao who killed Yuwen Cheng in just a few rounds?？”
Li Shi Min couldn't stop laughing.
He shook his head and said word by word,"Father, don't you know Yuwen Cheng's bravery? It would probably take Fourth Brother a lot of effort to kill him.”
"It's already unbelievable that a fourth brother has appeared in this world! How could there be an existence that could rival Ling!？”
"Shimin, you mean?" Li Yuan's eyes lit up.”
"This is just the new emperor trying to boost his reputation!" Li Shiming laughed.”
Li Yuan heaved a sigh of relief and couldn't help but smile."That's good, that's good! From the looks of it, the Northern Expedition Army would definitely lose this battle!”
For a moment, everyone smiled and nodded.
Li Shi Min waved his hand and continued,"Actually, so what if the Northern Expedition Army won this battle?”
"Even if we win, it will definitely be a partial victory. Not many people from the Northern Expedition Army could return. In this way, there would be no more power in the court!”
"When the time comes, won't it be a matter of course for us to rise up?？”
For a moment, the entire Li Residence was immersed in joy.
Such a thing did not only happen in the Li family.
At this moment, countless people were feeling smug about this.
Almost everyone thought.
This battle was similar to the one against Goguryeo a few years ago.
Not only will the Great Sui be defeated.
Yang Ye would destroy the last bit of wealth of the Great Sui Dynasty!
