"Ambush here?"
Li Cunxiao was stunned.
"Not bad."
Yue Fei nodded.
"Although Master Shang and his disciple are impatient, they are not careless people. They will definitely be cautious when passing by the ambush site.”
"If we give up the best ambush spot, we can paralyze him and complete the ambush by surprise.”
Seeing Li Cunxiao's confusion, Yue Fei explained.
"I see."
Li Cunxiao finally understood.
"Start the ambush and wait for the Sui army to arrive.”
Yue Fei said in a deep voice.
"Yes."
Li Cunxiao replied.
Soon after, the 10,000 Bei Wei Army quickly hid in the ambush area, and the entire Mount Qi fell into silence.
“………”
Just as the Sui and Han armies were about to fight, the matter of killing Gao Junya and the others in Taiyuan had come to an end.
The Li family had killed Gao Junya and Wang Wei without much effort.
Now that Taiyuan was truly under the control of the Li family, the imperial court had no spies.
"Sigh, since things have come to this, we have no choice but to raise an army.”
Li Yuan sighed.
If he could, he really did not want to raise an army and embark on this path of no return.
However, Gao Junya and the others were already dead, so they couldn't delay the plan any longer.
If it was too late, there would definitely be some changes in the direction of the Imperial Court.
"Duke Tang, there's no need to worry.”
Pei Ji suddenly said.
"Hmm?"
Li Yuan turned around and looked at Pei Ji in confusion.
"We've already contacted Yang Xuangan from the Central Plains. They'll also choose to raise an army soon.”
Pei Ji explained.
"When the time comes, both the north and south will raise their armies at the same time. The Imperial Court will naturally be exhausted from dealing with them.”
Liu Wenjing, who was standing at the side, said.
"I see."
Li Yuan was slightly relieved when he heard this.
“………”
Actually, Yang Xuangan had other intentions for revealing this information.
Once Taiyuan in Bingzhou started to attack, the attention of the Imperial Court might be drawn over.
At that time, the success rate of the army would naturally increase by a lot.
"Then, Duke Tang, can we hold the military uprising ceremony?”
At this moment, Pei Ji asked.
"Summon Li Shimin and Liu Hongji immediately. We can start the army raising ceremony.”
Li Yuan replied.
"Yes."
Pei Ji received the order and quickly went down to make arrangements.
In just a few moments, the civil and military officials of the Tang Public House and the three sons of the Li Family arrived at the same time.
"To join the Tang Family."
"Greetings, Father."
Everyone bowed to Li Yuan.
Li Yuan waved his hand and led everyone to the platform. He was going to announce the start of the war.
"Stomp…"
After Li Yuan walked up, Pei Ji sent over some sacrificial items.
Li Jiancheng and his brothers watched all of this with serious expressions.
The high platform was surrounded by the Li Family's private troops, some of the Tang Public House's troops, and many Taiyuan citizens.
"Everyone."
As soon as Li Yuan spoke, the people below quieted down.
"Ever since the current emperor took over, not only did he not bring prosperity to the world, he even flourished in water and wood and insisted on going on expeditions several times.”
Li Yuan's voice became a little high-pitched.
"He made the people suffer and lose their homes. I pity the people of the world and hereby announce that we will overthrow the fatuous emperor, Yang Guang!”
Since they were going to raise an army, they would use whatever dirty water they had to splash on the Emperor of Sui.
"Long live Duke Tang. We are willing to follow you until death.”
Pei Ji, Liu Hongji, and the others were all shouting.
The private soldiers in the army and the guards of the Tang Public House also followed suit.
The commoners did not say anything and continued to discuss.
"Men, open the granary and help the people.”
Then, Li Yuan ordered.
Recently, he had done a lot of things like buying people's hearts to prepare for the army.
"Hua hua…"
The granary was opened, and the commoners rushed up. Some of the Li family's private soldiers also began to distribute food.
However, they gave it to everyone they saw. Some of the old and weak were left behind and even pushed and fell.
They acted as if they didn't see anything and continued to distribute food. In a short while, the food was basically distributed.
"Haha, these rations are enough for me to eat for a long time.”
Some idle men laughed and said.
"Looks like you robbed quite a lot, and my gains are not small either.”
Some local ruffians also echoed.
"Mighty Duke Tang, I wish you success.”
They weighed the food in their hands and kept shouting.
Some of the refugees who had received food also said a few words from time to time.
Speaking of which, there was nothing he could do.
As the army had moved too quickly, there was not enough time to do anything better to win the hearts of the people.
"Very good."
Li Yuan nodded in satisfaction.
These guys returned with a full load, but those hardworking commoners didn't receive a single grain.
"Is this really distributing food?"
"Why can such a person get food?”
Many people were secretly furious.
"If you are truly good for the people, you can reduce taxes and let us live a good life.”
There were also some commoners who were muttering in their hearts.
"As expected, an aristocratic family is an aristocratic family. You can't trust them at all.”
A dark-faced man in the crowd laughed coldly. This person was Yuchi Gong, a citizen of Bing Province.
He had only wanted to come over to take a look at the situation, but he did not expect to see such a scene.
"I wonder if there is anyone in the world who truly thinks for the people?”
He couldn't help but think.
"I didn't expect the Li family to actually raise an army. They're even so shameless to use this method to buy people's hearts.”
Qin Qiong, who was also in the crowd, watched everything coldly. He had gone out to work and happened to see this scene.
The Li family's actions made him angry, but at the same time, it also made him feel a little confused.
The orthodoxy of the Sui Dynasty was no longer reliable. When the people were suffering, they still insisted on launching an expedition.
The uprising armies that rose up one after another had this kind of conduct. Could it be that there was no benevolent lord in the world?
From this, it was not difficult to see that the Li family was only putting on a show.
"From today onwards, I and the Tang army will raise an army!”
Seeing that the effect was good, Li Yuan lit up the incense and raised his army to establish the banner of Tang.
He got off the platform and led the civil and military officials back to the mansion.
"Duke Tang, although our army was hasty, the current situation is perfect.”
Pei Ji said with a smile the moment he entered.
It could be said that this was also one of the reasons why the Li family chose to quickly raise an army.
"There are many rations and equipment left behind in Taiyuan. Those that were left behind to resist the Eastern Turks are now ours.”
Liu Hongji said with a smile.
"Father, after Gao Junya died, more families chose to join us.”
Li Shi Min stepped forward and said.
Therefore, with the support of these aristocratic families, the Li family's logistics would be guaranteed.
Not long ago, Li Yuan had also learned that his sister, Li Xiu Ning, was making good progress in the northern part of Bingzhou. This was undoubtedly another reassurance.
"Alright."
Li Yuan began to smile, and his previous worries disappeared.
Next, it was time to see where the first attack should be aimed.
