Chapter 584 Already Arranged (Second Update, Please Subscribe)

Li Yuan's trust in Li Shimin remains the same, but the situation of the other two sons is quite embarrassing.

Since returning from Yangzhou last time, both Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji have been treated coldly. On the one hand, they are incompetent, and on the other hand, brothers have turned against each other, which made Li Yuan quite annoyed.

Although the relationship between Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji is not good, at certain times, they still have similar indignation. How can Li Shimin receive so much attention after retreating in defeat?
This inexplicable imbalance is indeed annoying.

After Li Yuan proclaimed himself emperor, Li Jiancheng was not conferred the crown prince, but became the king of Jin.As for Li Yuanji, he was named the King of Qi, while the titles of Li Shimin and Li Yuanba remained unchanged, and they were still King Qin and King Zhao.

Li Yuan's actions, to a certain extent, also showed his orthodox status.After all, both Li Shimin and Li Yuanba's titles came from Yang Guang, and he has inherited the throne of Sui Emperor because of his succession.

But Li Jiancheng was the eldest son, but he was not crowned prince. From a certain point of view, he had already been put in the cold palace by Li Yuan.What a mere King Jin is, it's just a joke.

Although Li Jiancheng was shown a wave of IQ in Yangzhou, he is not a fool, how could he not know Li Yuan's intentions?

Li Yuan was greatly disappointed by his own performance. I am afraid that Li Yuan has given up on him and completely focused on Li Shimin.Perhaps it won't be long before Li Shimin will become the prince.

Regardless of the current situation of Datang, the position of the prince is very important.What should belong to him is about to be taken away by Li Shimin, how can he be reconciled?

You must know that Li Shimin and his party in Luoyang also suffered heavy losses. Why did Li Yuan value him so much after he came back? Could it be that he, Li Jiancheng, was just a joke?

Previously, if Li Yuan had important matters, he would definitely let Li Jiancheng go to serve as a staff officer. No matter whether he could offer useful words or not, at least his status had been demonstrated, but now it is completely different.

Combining all the above, an inexplicable feeling of unwillingness grew in Li Jiancheng's heart.Compared with Li Yuanji's betrayal, he was actually angry with Li Shimin.

Fortunately, Li Jiancheng was more or less sane, so he wouldn't raise a knife to chop Li Shimin.He just buried this resentment in his heart, and sooner or later it would explode.

……

Li Shimin didn't notice Li Jiancheng's hatred.

Because of Li Yuan's order, he is very busy now and needs to reorganize his troops. In a short time, he will lead troops to attack Tongguan, accompanied by many generals, but the strongest is Li Yuanba.

Now that this is the case, Li Yuan will not take it lightly, he will use the fastest speed to resolve the battle.It shouldn't be a problem to send Li Shimin and Li Yuanba to deal with Tongguan without Luo Cheng.

Although Luo Cheng's Xiaolong army is powerful, it is still nothing to fight against Li Yuanba.

In this way, the preparation of the army was completed, and Li Yuan reminded Li Shimin that the [-] army was heading towards Tongguan in great momentum.Li Shimin's eyes are serious, and he is bound to seize Tongguan.

……

In Tongguan, there are [-] Xiaolong troops.

This is the arrangement Luo Cheng made earlier, the [-] elites will be led by Yao Ping.

The combat power of the Xiaolong Army is powerful, but this is not all. As we all know, the detection capabilities of the Xiaolong Army are also far superior to others.

Therefore, Yao Ping had already placed many scouts around, even near Chang'an City.By this time, the effect will be revealed, enough for Yao Ping to take the lead.

In the ancient battlefield, the importance of intelligence is unquestionable, because mastering intelligence in advance means taking the initiative.When there is no convenient means of communication, the impact is enormous.

The scouts riding alone are naturally much faster than Li Shimin's army, and they can inform Yao Ping of the news in advance.

Arranging many scouts was naturally ordered by Luo Cheng, and at this moment it was finally showing its usefulness.

When Yao Ping heard that Li Yuan sent an army, led by Li Shimin's brother, his expression became slightly condensed.But he was only a little solemn, and he didn't seem too flustered because of it.

In fact, before Luo Cheng left, he had already given orders.

Luo Cheng knew very well that Li Yuan was not a master who would just sit and wait for death. After he retreated, he would definitely try his best to take Tongguan back.As Yao Ping sits here, he naturally has his mission.

If Li Yuan sent only unknown soldiers, then Yao Ping would lead the Xiaolong Army to defend Tongguan.After all, Tongguan is extremely important, and its role should not be underestimated if it can be held in the hand.

But if Li Yuan dispatched Li Yuanba and other fierce generals, Yao Ping and the Xiaolong army would definitely not be able to defend.At this time, instead of choosing to fight to the death, it is better to abandon Tongguan and preserve the vitality.

Of course, Luo Cheng's arrangement was not that simple. It was no problem for Yao Ping to abandon Tongguan and retreat, but before that, he still needed to do something, otherwise it would be too cheap for Li Yuan.

Yao Ping is not a reckless person, he knows how to judge the situation and obey Luo Cheng's orders unconditionally.After thinking about it, he quickly came up with a plan, and his expression was a little joking.

After thinking about it, Yao Ping directly dispatched a large number of soldiers to the east of Tongguan. If he left the intact checkpoint to Li Yuan, wouldn't he be causing trouble for himself? What Luo Cheng ordered was to secretly break through a wall before retreating.

It would be at most one or two days before Li Shimin's army arrived, and Yao Ping had to finish it off during this period.Otherwise, Luo Cheng's arrangement would be useless, and it was not what Yao Ping wanted to see.

The Xiaolong army is extremely obedient, and after receiving Yao Ping's order, they rushed to work all night.The closed wall was tortured, a small half of the closed wall was dismantled and reinstalled, and the adhesive in between was also lost.

The final result is that there is no big problem with the upper part of the wall.There are many defects left in the middle, and there are not too many abnormalities on weekdays, but after being hit hard, it will inevitably collapse.

Of course, if Yao Ping withdraws immediately, it will inevitably arouse Li Shimin's suspicion.When the time comes to thoroughly investigate Tongguan, maybe Luo Cheng's ideas will be discovered, which will affect the occupation.

Therefore, Yao Ping was going to wait for Li Shimin's army to arrive, and fight with him first. After the enemy attacked, he would lead the Xiaolong army to break out of the siege, so as to dispel Li Shimin's doubts.

And around Tongguan, the east side is the direction of Yan Yun's approach, and the other side is the position where Li Shimin's army is attacking.So after the start of the war, it will never affect the plan.

After everything was ready, Li Shimin finally led the army to arrive.

However, they arrived later than Yao Ping expected, and they had already been delayed for three full days.But it doesn't matter if it comes sooner or later, Yao Ping has a well-thought-out plan and is as stable as Mount Tai.

Li Yuan's actions were already expected by Luo Cheng, why should he have a headache here?
As long as I follow Luo Cheng's order, the army will be safe and the plan will come true.

After thinking about it, Yao Ping looked from a distance, Li Shimin and Li Yuanba were in front of the army, and the [-] soldiers and horses were extremely powerful.
