Bingzhou Taiyuan.

It has been almost half a month since the defeat in Guanzhong.

In the past half month, there was no news about Li Shimin, Li Jiancheng or even Li Yuanba.

The last group of people who came back only knew that Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin jumped into the river one by one.

Jump down and disappear.

As for Li Yuanba, he was carried by thousands of miles of smoke and clouds, and his whereabouts were unknown.

Because of this, Li Yuan fell into a coma several times.

During this time, the mood stabilized.

Li Yuanji also hurriedly reported the situation of guarding Taiyuan and the movement of the Sui army.

"Cough cough."

Li Yuan coughed violently, then waved his hand to signal Li Yuanji to stop.

Li Yuanji seemed a little nervous, he didn't know what it meant, and wanted to continue talking.

"Third Young Master, Mr. Tang asked you to stop."

Finally, Pei Ji reminded me.

After hearing this, Li Yuanji stopped.

Liu Wenjing, the surviving Pei Ji and the others looked at each other and shook their heads.

If both Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin were dead, the Li family would have no future with just one Li Yuanji.

Li Yuanji is a pure playboy, unable to provoke the leader at all.

Not to mention, now that the Li family failed to raise troops, they faced the situation that the Sui army would counterattack at any time.

"Shimin and Jiancheng, there is no news at all?"

Li Yuan asked unwillingly.

"Duke Tang, but there is no news."

Pei Ji replied.

"Ugh."

Li Yuan sighed quietly.

"Yuanba doesn't have one either?"

he asked with a hint of hope.

Li Yuanba's chances of surviving are relatively high. After all, he has a good physique and left the battlefield ahead of schedule.

"No."

Liu Hongji shook his head.

They knew that with Li Yuanba's situation, he was lucky enough to survive.

It may also make a big fuss at the Sui Army checkpoint, and was finally taken down by Li Cunxiao.

Brother Li Shimin, who jumped into the river to protect himself and have no news, is more likely to survive than Li Yuanba.

"That's it."

Li Yuanhong said with eyes.

He had already prepared for the worst, if he couldn't fight, all three of them would die.

"The top priority is to deal with the Sui army."

Li Yuan adjusted his mood.

"Mr. Tang, we are currently recruiting troops quickly. These days we already have [-] troops."

Liu Hongji said.

"Twenty thousand troops."

Li Yuan murmured.

"That's right. Including the previous strength, Taiyuan's total strength is [-], of which [-] are recruits."

Liu Hongji said.

"Twenty thousand recruits."

Li Yuan smiled wryly.

On the Sui side, an army of [-] or even hundreds of thousands can be dispatched at any time.

Taiyuan has only [-] troops, how can it be resisted?

And it was still under the circumstances that many rebels were wiped out, and the Great Sui was very likely to quell the civil strife.

The current situation can no longer be described as bad. For the Li family, it is a time of life and death.

"The Sui army hasn't sent troops yet?"

Li Yuan asked again.

"No, they are busy dealing with the Longxi gentry over there."

After hesitating for a while, Liu Wenjing still said it.

"Ugh."

Li Yuan only felt a pain in his heart.

This time, Chang'an's internal support was gone, and instead, he helped Sui Shi deal with internal troubles.

Moreover, the deterrent power of the Sui imperial family may have reached a terrifying level.

In this case, how to fight Tai Sui?
Thinking of these, Li Yuan felt a little desperate.

"Continue to expand our troops, reach an alliance with Liu Wuzhou if necessary, and strengthen our patrol troops."

Li Yuan ordered.

"promise."

The people took orders.

"correct."

When everyone was about to leave, Li Yuan suddenly called out.

Everyone who was about to leave suddenly stopped.

"Try to check all the river basins of the Yangtze River as much as possible to see if you can find Jiancheng and Shimin."

Li Yuan ordered.

"promise."

Liu Wenjing responded.

"Pei Ji."

Li Yuan called again.

"Is there anything else you want to order, Mr. Tang?"

Pei Ji cupped his hands and asked.

"During this time, take Yuanji a little longer and let him grow up."

Li Yuan ordered.

"promise."

Pei Ji took the order.

Li Yuanji on the side was a little excited.

Doesn't this mean that Li Yuan helped him to be trained as the future successor of the Li family?

He can inherit the position of Duke Tang in the future and call the wind and rain in the whole Taiyuan.

Thinking of this, Li Yuanji became very excited.

The sadness of Li Jiancheng's death has been diluted a lot because of this.

Pei Ji could tell at a glance what Li Yuanji was thinking at this moment, and shook his head for a while and sighed.

How well can such Li Yuanji teach?

At most, he restrained his dandyism and learned to work for the Li family.

"Go."

Li Yuan waved his hand.

He also made preparations in advance. If Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin really died, he would only have Li Yuanji as his only son.

Apart from handing over the great business of the Li family to him, who else could it be in the hands of?

At the same time, Taiyuan city head.

The defenders are patrolling.

"Huh, what is that?"

One of the soldiers pointed to the front and said not far away.

Hearing the sound, everyone turned their heads to look.

He saw a figure approaching Taiyuan continuously.

The distance is far away, so I can't see the appearance of this person.

I can only vaguely see a shadow moving forward slowly, it seems to be a lame man, and he is still limping.

Soon, the shadow gradually became clear.

I saw this person was unkempt, with blood all over his face.

Moreover, there were no shoes on the feet, which had been worn to a bloody mess.

Wherever this person walked, there would be a bloody footprint.

Such an image directly stunned the defenders on the top of Taiyuan City.

If we met at night, wouldn't we regard this person as a ghost?

"Who is coming, it's a critical time, don't enter Taiyuan City!"

The defender gave a loud shout.

Hearing this, the figure under the city not only did not stop, but accelerated its pace.

"If you dare to break in, you are courting death!"

A soldier drew his bow and was about to release an arrow.

"I'm Li Jiancheng!"

The figure below said hurriedly.

The soldier stopped immediately after hearing this.

Everyone is carefully looking at the figure below.

The figure simply brushed aside its messy hair, revealing its own face.

However, the face was dark and dirty, and it was impossible to tell the original appearance.

But the soldiers in Taiyuan City didn't dare to make a move, and froze in place.

"Quick, report to General Liu!"

In the end, someone reacted and hurriedly ordered.

A soldier hurried down to the top of the city and told Liu Hongji the news.

The person below who called himself Li Jiancheng also seemed to have exhausted all his energy, and fell to the ground without moving.

After Liu Hongji arrived, he ordered someone to open the city gate, and he rushed out with a few soldiers himself.

Seeing the figure, Liu Hongji drew out his sword and dared not approach him.

After confirming that the person was unconscious, he boldly walked up.

Turning this person over, a face full of mud appeared in front of his eyes.

"Eldest son?"

Liu Hongji recognized it immediately.
