Chapter 2702 Surrender at the sight of the enemy!

The eleventh year of Daye, autumn!
Li Yuan, Duke of Tang, surrendered to the Ming Dynasty.
Inside Daxing Palace,

Lu Yan sat on the dragon chair, looked at the soldiers below and said, "I am very pleased to see you all here today!"

Looking at Lu Yan, everyone on Li Yuan's side lowered their heads.
Because their defeat was so painful.
They actually lost such a huge city of Daxing in just one night.
But before they could suffer for long, reinforcements from the Western Regions arrived. Yang Xuangan personally led 150,000 troops to the site.
Looking at such a huge army, Li Yuan had no other ideas at the moment, because whether in terms of troops or other aspects, the Western Regions seemed to be superior to the Tang Dynasty!

"Li Jing? Where is Li Shimin?"

Looking down, Lu Yan couldn't help but become serious.
"Chen is here!"

Li Jing walked out slowly, his face full of embarrassment.

He fell in love with Hong Fu Nu back then, but because of his status, he couldn't take her away.
It was Lu Yan who helped Li Jing take Hong Fu Nu away from Yang Su.
But in the end, this old fellow Li Jing had no moral principles and actually surrendered to the Tang Dynasty instead of going to the Western Regions to find Lu Yan!

Now that they met, Li Jing was so embarrassed.
But if it were someone with a narrow mind, Li Jing would have been hung on the city gate to dry.
Lu Yan: Look, how broad-minded I am!
Murong Ke: Are the wheels flat?

"You and Li Shimin will lead 50,000 former Tang troops into Jinan!"

Looking at Li Jing and Li Shimin calmly, Lu Yan immediately spoke up.
"Yes!"

Li Jing and Li Shimin bowed their hands. They had never expected that Lu Yan would give them the right to lead troops.
"From Luoyang, I hope Duke Tang can write a letter!"

Looking at Li Yuan beside him, Lu Yan smiled.

"I know!"

Hearing Lu Yan's words, Li Yuan nodded immediately.
"Yang Xuangan, Xiong Kuohai, you two will lead 100,000 troops south. I want to unify the world next year!"

Looking at the two people in front of him, Lu Yan asked them to go south in the name of giving them benefits.
After all, he spent so much money in the Sui Dynasty and raised her for so many years, all for this day!

"Yes!"

When he stepped forward to salute, Xiong Kuohai and Yang Xuangan immediately clasped their hands and clasped their fists.

After watching the order being issued, Lu Yan stroked his chin and said, "Tomorrow, the imperial seal will be delivered. Then, I will hold the coronation ceremony! I hope my dear ministers will not cause trouble!"

Hearing Lu Yan's words, all the ministers present took a deep breath.
Jinan Prefecture,
After Li Jing and Li Shimin arrived with their army, Wagangzhai immediately took up a fighting stance.
Even Li Mi, who had been beaten to a bloody pulp by Yu Wenzhi on the front line, came back.

Looking at Li Jing and Li Shimin who suddenly came to visit, Li Mi showed a trace of seriousness.
Because they had already heard the news of the Li family's defeat, but what was unexpected was that the Li family actually surrendered.

Thinking of this, Li Mi was puzzled.
Everyone was playing well, but you voted, what's the matter?

But thinking of Li Jing and Li Shimin leading the troops, Li Mi turned around and said, "Prime Minister, please send someone a letter. My Wagangzhai is willing to help Li Shimin retake Daxing!"

"Is this okay?"

Looking at Li Mi in surprise, Wang Bodang could not help but be surprised.
Because this is not a dream, this is just wishful thinking.
Although Li Jing and Li Shimin are leading the troops, who knows if Lu Yan's troops are among them?

"Let's try it first. Even if it doesn't work, it can at least make that Lu Zhuguo suspicious!"

With a confident smile on his lips, Li Mi couldn't help but feel proud of his counter-espionage plan.

In the Ming army camp,

When Li Jing and Li Shimin saw Li Mi's letter, they looked at each other and said, "This is for you!"

"No, it's for you, definitely not for me!"

"No, this is for you, don't make excuses!"

Looking at Li Mi's letter, Li Shimin and Li Jing were dumbfounded.

Normally, wouldn't sending letters be done in secret? But Li Mi sent someone to deliver it openly.
What's going on? Are they afraid that Lu Yan doesn't know that they are "collaborating with the enemy" in Wagang Village? "How about sending them back?"

Looking at Li Shimin beside him, if Li Jing had not seen a circle of generals from the Western Regions around him, he would have run back to Daxing to confess his crime.

After all, you can say that Li Jing is a coward, but you absolutely cannot question that Li Jing cannot fight!

When it comes to taking sides, Li Jing always chooses the wrong one, never the right one!
During the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Li Jing did not stand on the side of Li Yuan or Li Shimin. What kind of behavior was this? He offended both sides!

Fortunately, Li Shimin was not too narrow-minded, otherwise, if Li Jing had played like that, he would have been hung on a tree and beaten!

"What are you afraid of? Just open it and take a look. We are all here!"

Seeing Li Jing and Li Shimin being so careful, the general from the Western Regions laughed.

Because they didn't expect that Li Mi would actually use a counter-espionage tactic. This is really interesting!

Not to mention that Li Shimin wanted to rebel, even if he really rebelled, he had to be able to win!

Of these 50,000 soldiers, 30,000 were former Tang troops, but they had all been dispersed long ago.

Moreover, the monthly salary has also increased from one tael of silver to three taels.

Even if Li Shimin wanted to rebel, he had to see whether the soldiers below were willing to do so!
Stepping forward to tear open the letter, a general from the Western Regions opened it and said, "Hey, I say these people from Wagangzhai are indeed bandits! They can't even write clearly, and there are even graffiti!"

Li Shimin and Li Jing were sweating as they watched this scene with their mouths twitching.
Because this is not a typo, it is clearly intentional!

"Attack! Attack Wagangzhai tomorrow. We must not let them survive!"

Li Jing gnashed his teeth as he read the letter, and felt a chill in his heart.
Because if everyone wasn't watching, Li Jing wouldn't be able to clear himself even if he jumped into the Yellow River!
When Li Jing said this, Li Shimin slammed the table and said, "We will never return until we defeat Wagangzhai!"

Looking at Li Shimin and Li Jing in front of them, the generals who were born in the Western Regions were dumbfounded. How big a hatred was this? Wasn't it just a letter?

Compared with Li Jing and Li Shimin who attacked Wagangzhai in Shandong, the route to the south was much faster.
Because no matter whether it was the people who raised the banner of rebellion or the bandits who wanted to dominate the world, they were all directly "inspired" by Yang Xuangan.

"Why did you arrest so many people?"

Looking at Yang Xuangan curiously, Xiong Kuohai became puzzled.
"Isn't that nonsense? My family is big and we are short of manpower to grow cotton!"

Thinking of the chaos in the Sui Dynasty, which left his cotton fields without workers, Yang Xuangan felt upset.
Looking at Yang Xuangan with a twitching mouth, Xiong Kuohai said, "No, don't you have any other ideas? For example, conferring him a duke or something!"

"Hmph, do you need me to tell you that? I have already made the dragon robe and am waiting to present it to Your Majesty on the day he ascends the throne!"

Looking at Xiong Kuohai beside him, Yang Xuangan couldn't help but feel proud.
Looking at Yang Xuangan in shock, Xiong Kuohai didn't expect that he was so honest!

"Good fellow, you guys have planned this long ago!"

Pointing at Yang Xuangan in astonishment, Xiong Kuohai shouted angrily,

"Don't worry about it, it's all thanks to Conglong, hehehe!"

Patting Xiong Kuohai on the shoulder, Yang Xuangan smiled and said, "How about I give you some cotton?"

"Why do I need cotton? You can't eat that stuff!"

Looking at Yang Xuangan angrily, Xiong Kuohai was almost going crazy.
"Hey, don't say that. I, Yang Xuangan, am rich enough to rival a country, and cotton is indispensable!"

Looking at Xiong Kuohai, Yang Xuangan straightened his back immediately, his face full of pride.

He has been growing cotton for so many years, so when he says he is as rich as a country, he is not kidding!
As for power, it is enough to have enough of it. If he really rebels, how can we grow cotton?
