Yang Guang peeked at my diary and lay down like an emperor through the ages

Chapter 281 Li Yuan’s choice, the Li family has no choice

"Damn, why did you forget this?"

Li Yuan slapped his head suddenly.

"This"

Liu Wenjing and others' expressions also changed drastically.

If Yang Wu's troops came to the city, the entire Tang army would definitely be in panic.

Moreover, it is not known whether Taiyuan's military strength can be sustained for a long time.

All in all, there are too many variables.

And no one was ready for this.

It is not difficult to tell from the way Liu Wenjing and others turned pale after reacting.

"Father, calm down for a moment!"

Li Shimin spoke.

"call"

Hearing this, Li Yuan took a long breath and tried to calm down.

As the leader of the Tang Army, he must not become panic easily.

If not, wouldn't it mean that everyone in the Tang army would be in panic?
Liu Wenjing and others also quickly controlled their emotions.

"Father, it is basically certain that Yang Wu's troops will arrive in Taiyuan."

Li Shimin said bluntly.

"Yes, Wen Daya is dead. If the eldest son is safe and sound, it is impossible that no news will come back."

Liu Wenjing said in a low voice.

After hearing these words, Li Yuan's face darkened.

Liu Wenjing's hidden meaning was that something might have happened to Li Jiancheng.

Eighty percent of the time, it's impossible to come back safe and sound.

Maybe it would be the same as Wen Daya's fate.

Otherwise, it would fall into Yang Wu's hands.

Although he may still be alive, it's not a good thing.

"Ugh!"

Li Yuan sighed.

He wants to save Li Jiancheng, but is it easy?

In a short period of time, Li Yuan came up with countless ways.

For example, take out money and exchange it with Yang Wu for Li Jiancheng.

Or maybe the Li family gave up a piece of territory or something like that.

Li Yuan might have thought of any method that might be useful.

But no matter what the method was, Li Yuan rejected them all.

For no other reason than this, these methods cannot succeed.

The prerequisite for the success of these methods is that the status between the Li family and Yang Wu is equal.

In other words, there is no strong or weak distinction.

In addition, Yang Wu also wanted to get something from the Li family.

Based on this premise, it is very possible for Li Yuan to redeem Li Jiancheng.

But obviously, the Li family and Yang Wu are not equal.

Yang Wu was the prince of the Sui Dynasty, and his outstanding military exploits won Yang Guang's trust.

His achievements are even more brilliant.

Under this premise, can the status of Yang Wu and the Li family be considered equal?
As for the Li family, what does Yang Wu want?

That's true, but it's impossible for Li Yuan to give it to him.

Because what Yang Wu wants most is the lives of everyone in the Li family.

Do you think Li Yuan might give it?
"Ugh!"

Li Yuan let out a long sigh, knowing that Li Jiancheng might be in trouble this time.

"Father."

At this time, Li Shimin suddenly called out.

"Ok?"

Li Yuan replied subconsciously.

"My child has a suggestion."

Li Shimin said.

"What advice?"

Li Yuan asked curiously.

And he couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope.

"Let the Turkic cavalry deal with Yang Wu."

Li Shimin said bluntly.

"what?"

Li Yuan frowned.

He also thought that Li Shimin gave some good suggestions.

Unexpectedly, this is it?

What does this have to do with rescuing Li Jiancheng?

Yes, Li Yuan's so-called hope is to rescue Li Jiancheng.

The Turkic cavalry tried to stop Yang Wu, but how could they stop him?

And if Li Jiancheng was still alive, wouldn't Yang Wu kill Li Jiancheng?

Therefore, it is impossible for Li Yuan to agree to this matter.

At this time, everyone in the Li family had different expressions.

For a moment, you looked at me and I looked at you, each with different ideas.

But as for Li Jiancheng being arrested, those who originally supported Li Jiancheng.

All gave birth to other ideas.

There is no need for them to continue to support Li Jiancheng.

Because Li Jiancheng might have been declared dead.

"Mr. Tang."

After a long silence, Pei Ji spoke first.

"Ah."

Li Yuan replied.

"Now I want you to make a decision."

Pei Ji said bluntly.

"Decision, what decision?"

Li Yuan frowned, obviously he had already made a guess.

"Who do you choose between the eldest young master and the great cause of the Li family?"

Pei Ji said bluntly.

"Bastard!"

Li Yuan was furious and cursed directly.

You know, he rarely scolds Pei Ji like this.

That was Pei Ji, one of the people Li Yuan trusted the most.

Pei Ji also frowned, looking quite unhappy.

Liu Wenjing and others obviously did not expect that Li Yuan would scold Pei Ji.

For a while, the expressions were also different.

"What is Jiancheng and the great cause of the Li family? How do I choose?"

Li Yuan lost his temper, looked at Pei Ji and asked.

"Tang Gong, you should know very well that the eldest son is more dangerous than good."

"Even if I'm fine for the time being, it can't change this."

Pei Ji said bluntly.

"Brother Pei, just say less."

Liu Wenjing quickly persuaded.

He was afraid that if Li Yuan got involved, he would have the idea of ​​killing Pei Ji.

"Say less?"

Hearing this, Pei Ji sneered.

"Can the current situation be changed by just saying a few words?"

"Or do you really want to wait until Mr. Tang has difficulty making a decision, or even makes a confused decision, before you know how to worry?"

He looked at Liu Wenjing and asked.

"This"

Liu Wenjing was speechless for a moment.

Both of them are smart people, so Pei Ji can think of things.

Liu Wenjing, of course, can also be thought of.

But Liu Wenjing also understood Li Yuan.

Knowing that Li Yuan at this time was irrational.

No matter what you say to him, he probably won't listen.

In that case, why waste your time?

But what Pei Ji said is not bad.

Is it possible that Li Yuan only knew to be anxious when he made a confused decision?

Liu Wenjing knew what the so-called confused decision was.

If Li Jiancheng is still alive, it must be because he was useful to Yang Wu.

Ask the Li family to give up some territory, or ask for some money.

These ideas are obviously impossible.

So what will it do?
Naturally, it would help Yang Wu quell the rebellion and allow the Sui army to easily enter Taiyuan.

If Li Yuan really does what Yang Wu said, what is the difference between surrendering?
The key is, if that time comes.

Everyone's lives were in Yang Wu's hands.

If Yang Wu wants everyone to die, then everyone will die.

Everyone in the Li family had no strength to resist at all.

If it were just the Li family, Liu Wenjing and Pei Ji wouldn't even think about persuading them.

But besides the Li family, there are others!

Liu Wenjing, Pei Ji and others all have their own families behind them.

There are also Duan Zhixuan, Tang Jian and others.

When the time comes, won’t they be destroyed along with the Li family?
Do you think Pei Ji might acquiesce in Li Yuan's choice at this time?
"Pei Ji, do you want to die?"

Li Yuan was furious.

In his opinion, Pei Ji's words meant that Pei Ji was cursing Li Jiancheng.

You said Li Yuan, how could he be happy?
And now Li Jiancheng is a thorn in Li Yuan's heart.

"Come here!" Li Yuan was really angry for a moment and looked like he wanted to kill Pei Ji.

"Duke Tang!"

Hearing the cry, many soldiers outside the mansion rushed in.

"Drag Pei Ji out for me and kill him!"

Li Yuan said in a deep voice.

As soon as these words came out, the soldiers who came in were dumbfounded.

He wants to kill Pei Ji. Is this true or false?

As for Liu Wenjing, Li Shimin and others, they were all dumbfounded.

Is Li Yuan serious?
Pei Ji just told the truth, so he was going to be executed?

"Why are you still standing there? Could it be that you are planning to disobey?"

Li Yuan glared at the soldiers.

"This"

The soldiers looked at Pei Ji and then at Li Yuan.

"Okay!"

Until Li Yuan was extremely angry and laughed, his body was trembling.

These soldiers walked towards Pei Ji.

"Hmph, if your subordinates are to die, why would Duke Tang bother you so much?"

Pei Ji suddenly snorted coldly.

Then, he was seen pulling out a soldier's sword and about to kill himself.

At this moment, Li Yuan was dumbfounded.

He just wanted to scare Pei Ji on purpose, how could he actually chop him down?

Who would have thought that Pei Ji's temper would get worse and he would draw his sword and kill himself.

And Li Yuan also knew very well that if Pei Ji really died.

Then his intestines would probably turn green.

"Stop, Pei Ji, I tell you to stop!"

Li Yuan said with a commanding tone.

However, how could Pei Ji, who was above him, pay any attention to Li Yuan?

In the end, it was Duan Zhixuan's sudden attack that prevented Pei Ji from committing suicide.

But even though he was wearing a sword, it fell to the ground and made a crisp sound.

At this time, Pei Ji also lost some of his anger.

He realized belatedly, had he almost killed himself just now?
For a moment, Pei Ji felt scared in his heart.

"Ugh!"

Seeing Pei Ji being stopped, Li Yuan sighed and sat down.

"Tang Gong, either the eldest son dies, or the subordinates and the Li family die with you."

"Since death comes early and late, so what if my subordinates go on the road first?"

Pei Ji said bluntly.

These words made the flesh on Li Yuan's face tremble with anger.

Pei Ji really knows how to speak, and he won't give up until he pisses him off.

"Tang Gong, Brother Pei is right, you should think about it carefully!"

Liu Wenjing spoke next.

"Yes, Mr. Tang."

Dou Wei followed closely behind.

Then came the rest of the Li family's civil and military forces.

Even Duan Zhixuan and Tang Jian were among them.

"My son."

Li Yuan did not answer, but opened his mouth and screamed sadly.

Obviously, he had made a decision at this time and knew what to do.

Li Shimin and others were silent.

"In that case, let the Turkic cavalry come back and deal with Yang Wu first."

Taking a deep breath, Li Yuan gave direct instructions.

"promise!"

Liu Wenjing took the order.

As for those Turkic cavalry, will they do as they are told?

Li Yuan and others don't need to think about it.

Because after Nagada saw everyone in the Li family, he opened and shut his mouth to seek revenge on Yang Wu.

Such a person is not afraid of Yang Wu at all.

In this case, why not let him block Yang Wu?
Of course, everyone in the Li family also knew that it was [-]% unstoppable.

Therefore, the Li family should use this time to make preparations in Taiyuan.

At least, it can be guaranteed that Taiyuan can hold on for a long time.

After that, they sent manpower to ask for help from the Turks.

Let the Turkic Khan send more reinforcements.

Even if Gada's entire army is wiped out by then, it will not affect the Li family.

As for whether the Turkic Khan will agree or not, that is a matter for the Turkic Khan.

At this point, the Li family has no more choices.

After seeing Li Yuan make up his mind, Li Shimin raised the corner of his mouth slightly.

He really didn't expect that happiness would come so suddenly.

Li Jiancheng is in less danger, and naturally there are fewer people supporting him.

It is not difficult to see the change in attitudes of Liu Wenjing and Pei Ji.

Now there are only two people left in the Li family.

One is Li Shimin, and the other is Li Yuanji.

As I said before, Li Yuanji is just a playboy.

Moreover, in times of crisis for the Li family, Li Yuanji would still think about things that were not there.

How can such a person get support?

So now, Li Shimin is the first choice for the Li family's heir.

No matter whether it is those who supported Li Jiancheng before or those who support him.

Now, we can only support him.

"In this case, Taiyuan still needs to find a way to defend it."

Li Shimin muttered.

After all, there is a [-]% chance that the Li family in the future will belong to him.

In this case, it would be a pity to give up the Li family's foundation.

But how can it be so easy to block Yang Wu?
So Li Shimin could only calm down and think of a good solution.

See if we can protect Taiyuan and force Yang Wu to retreat.

This made Li Shimin even forget his fear of Yang Wu.

Temporarily, he controlled his inner demons.

At this time, in the direction of Yang Wu.

He only needs to move forward a certain distance to enter Taiyuan.

At this time, Yang Wu chose to stop and rest.

And asked people to bring Li Jiancheng to him.

"You know my general, why don't I kill you, right?"

Yang Wu looked at Li Jiancheng and asked.

"know."

Li Jiancheng replied in a deep voice.

Why didn't he know the reason why Yang Wu didn't kill him?

It was entirely because he wanted to use him to open the city gate of Taiyuan.

"Do you think your father will agree?"

Yang Wu asked again.

Hearing this, Li Jiancheng suddenly fell silent.

He's a smart guy and knows this is a multiple choice question.

And no matter what the choice is, it doesn't seem to be good news for the Li family.

If Li Yuan chooses to compromise, it will only be to save Li Jiancheng's life.

Then Taiyuan will be easily conquered by Yang Wu.

Otherwise, Li Jiancheng will undoubtedly die.

This is not good news for the Li family.

At least, it will affect people's hearts.

Of course, compared with the first result, the second result is still within the acceptable range of the Li family.

"Your father should prefer the first option."

Yang Wu said.

Hearing this, Li Jiancheng was overjoyed.

This is similar to his guess.

He is Li's eldest son, and Li Yuan has always doted on him.

In this case, Li Yuan will definitely find a way to protect Li Jiancheng.

Thinking about it, Li Jiancheng became relaxed.

"It's a pity that it's not just Li Yuan who has the final say in the Li family."

Yang Wu poured a basin of cold water on Li Jiancheng's head.

"what do you mean?"

Li Jiancheng frowned and asked after hearing this.

"The Li family is followed by many aristocratic families. If something happens to the Li family, those aristocratic families will also have to pay the price."

Yang Wu said bluntly.

"My son knows!"

Li Jiancheng replied.

"So these people will definitely not let Li Yuan do stupid things."

Yang Wu continued.

Hearing this, Li Jiancheng's heart tightened suddenly.

Because what Yang Wu said is not unreasonable!

Li Yuan wants to die, but those people may not want to die.

"Why are you telling me this? Are you planning to kill me directly?"

Li Jiancheng asked nervously.
