The Great Grandson of the Tang Dynasty: The beginning of the slaughter of General Tiance's mans

Chapter 129 The Final Battle
The reaction of the generals made Fang Xuanling want to curse.

"Now Taisun has more than 30 troops, and the available troops on our side are only [-]. How can we defend Chang'an City against him?"

"Even if you can block it for a while, you can't block it for a lifetime. Chang'an City will be destroyed sooner or later. In this case, why not retain your strength and escape from Chang'an and look for opportunities to rise in the future?"

"It would be foolish to choose to fight head-on in this situation!"

Fang Xuanling refuted Li Jing and the others simply and straightforwardly, not agreeing at all with their plan to fight against the odds.

Hou Junji said with a displeased face: "Fleeing without fighting is a coward's move!"

Fang Xuanling did not give in at all, and confronted Hou Junji: "A man can bend and stretch, so why not retreat for a moment? It is incompetent to force yourself when you know you are losing!"

Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel over this matter, Changsun Wuji shouted in a deep voice: "Stop quarreling! Let's hear what His Highness decides!"

After Changsun Wuji spoke, the two stopped arguing, and everyone in the study looked at Li Shimin.

It was about whether to fight or retreat. In fact, Li Shimin was somewhat hesitant in his heart.

With his resentment towards Li Chengdao, he naturally wanted to hold the troops in his hands and fight Li Chengdao to the death, in an upright fight, to become the king and defeat the bandit.

But reason told him that with the strength he now had in hand, the chances of winning were really low.

Li Jing's 20 troops and Chai Shao's 16 women's army, plus Li Chengdao's original [-] ([-]) troops, even if they cannot capture Chang'an City in a short time, they will still be defeated over time.

It's really just a matter of time. The gap in military strength is too big.

So when he first heard that Li Chengdao had launched an army from Youzhou to attack Chang'an, he didn't take it to heart at all because the strength of the two sides was not proportional.

But with the betrayal of Li Jing and Chai Shao, the balance of victory has completely tilted.

Li Shimin raised his head, and the eyes of Zhang Sun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Hou Junji and others in the study fell on him, weighing on him like a heavy burden.

Is it really necessary... to let his close men and women fight to the death for him?
For some reason, Li Shimin thought of Cheng Yaojin's cheerful and rough face, and felt a slight ache in his heart.

"Withdraw the army."

Li Shimin directly raised his head and said. Under the surprised eyes of everyone, he stood up from behind the desk with a calm and firm expression.

"Evacuate Chang'an and go to Jiangnan Road. I will seek help from all the important families. Who says there is no possibility of a comeback?"

"Back then, I was besieged by Yu Wencheng's troops. I only had [-] soldiers in my hands, but I still survived. In the end, Yu Wencheng died, but I am still alive!"

"And I still have a hundred thousand elite soldiers in my hands, as well as ministers and many other talented people. As long as I accumulate strength, I will definitely be able to ride to Chang'an again in the future!"

Li Shimin's words made everyone's blood boil. Even Changsun Wuji was moved by it, as if he saw the shadow of the King of Qin in Li Shimin.

This is the King of Qin he follows!
"Follow Your Highness to the death!"

Hou Junji's heart surged and he knelt down directly.

Everyone knelt down and said in unison: "I will follow His Highness to the death!"

……

Luoyang City fell into the hands of Li Chengdao, and the news of Chai Shao's surrender quickly spread around Luoyang.Although Li Shimin ordered the news to be blocked, how could he block it?Soon the whole Chang'an was in an uproar.

No one thought that after Li Jing led his army to surrender to Li Chengdao and surrendered Weizhou City, Chai Shao also surrendered!

These two are extremely well-known generals who have made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty. However, when they faced Li Chengdao, they surrendered without a fight and chose to surrender. What does this mean?
This means that Li Chengdao is the true master of kings, and even these two famous generals do not want to be enemies with him!
Immediately afterwards, the news of Cheng Yaojin's death in battle also spread.

Regarding Cheng Yaojin's death, Li Chengdao did not stigmatize him as a traitor, but personally gave him the highly valuable evaluation of "unparalleled loyalty and bravery".

In order to repay Li Shimin's kindness, he would rather die than surrender, and finally died in an upright battle with Li Chengdao, which can be called a loyal martyr.

"The death of these loyal ministers and good generals is a loss for the Tang Dynasty. I sincerely hope that the King of Qin can surrender and not let the Tang Dynasty lose more troops and generals."

"If the King of Qin can surrender, Gu Ke can promise the world that all his soldiers will not be held accountable."

The words spoken by Li Chengdao spread quickly and quickly spread throughout the government and the public.

The promise he made personally also moved many people, especially officials in the DPRK and China.

Li Chengdao is sending a signal to them that as long as he helps Gu defeat King Qin, Gu can forget everything you have done.

This is undoubtedly an extremely lenient decision and commitment.

In today's era where credibility and character are valued, Li Chengdao is also the crown prince. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a man of gold. If he makes this promise publicly, he will definitely not break it.

So the officials in the DPRK and China were immediately ready to take action.

Everyone can see that it is only a matter of time before Li Chengdao breaks through Chang'an. How can officials like them who once stood in Li Shimin's camp not panic?

With Li Chengdao's promise, they felt much more at ease.

In addition, the people also talked about it.

"His Royal Highness Taisun is unparalleled in benevolence and admirable!"

"Those who have gained the Tao will be helped much. Wherever your Royal Highness's master of kings goes, he will look forward to the wind. This is the power of the emperor!"

"If King Qin is really plotting against the Tang Dynasty, he should return the world to His Highness and exit with dignity."

"On the day when His Highness conquers Chang'an, I will definitely bring you wine and food to welcome him!"

"His Royal Highness Taisun is destined to return!"

……

Such remarks filled the streets, but neither Li Shimin nor the Tiance Mansion paid any attention to them, but secretly began to evacuate Chang'an.

Li Chengdao has issued a notice announcing that he will attack the city in ten days, telling the people of Chang'an City not to enter and exit at will, and to stay at home with peace of mind to avoid military disasters.

In other words, the time left for them is only ten days.
