Sui and Tang Dynasties: My Wife is the Eldest Grandson Wugou

For a long time, Li Shimin has been doing these things, including building bridges with various forces, winning people's hearts, avoiding Yang Guang's suspicion, and getting rid of those who have different ideas.

Li Yuanba, Li Yuanji, Li Jiancheng and others are nothing but thugs.

Chapter 253 Shrewd Li Shimin

As for Li Yuan, in fact he is also a pawn of Li Shimin.

Except for the relationship between father and son, Li Shimin almost controlled the entire Li family in his own hands, and everyone played an important role.

Li Yuande is highly respected, he wants status and power, and Li Shimin can just use him to accumulate resources in the early stage and stabilize the morale of the army.

As for his brothers, they are all like thugs.

Once Li Yuan died, or was captured alive, all of Li Shimin's plans would be in vain.

So when Li Shimin learned that Xiangping City was destroyed, he was in a panic.

At this time, it was the critical moment to besiege Yujuluo. Yujuluo had been forced up a mountain, with less than 3 people around him, and even the supply line was gone.

After a few more days of siege, Yujuluo's people would either starve to death or surrender.

But at this time, the sad news that Xiangping City was destroyed came, and Li Shimin was in a panic.

"Second Young Master, let's hurry back to help Xiangping City!"

Li Shimin's lieutenant general persuaded.

Li Shimin also wanted to return to aid Xiangping, but it was a bit too unwilling to let him give up the siege of Yujuluo now.

Seeing that Yu Ju Luo was about to be destroyed, if he evacuated at this time, he might be chased and killed by Yu Ju Luo in turn.

At that time, the Sui defenders in Xiangping and Yuju Luoli should cooperate with the outside, and his army will probably be wiped out.

As for Ulji Wende, he will not cross the Liaohe River for large-scale battles.

Ulji Mundeok was also from Goguryeo after all, he did not fully trust the Li clan, once he crossed the Liaohe River, what would happen if Li Shimin's army surrounded them?

In the end, after much deliberation, Li Shimin decided to go back to assist Xiangping first. Anyway, Xiangping is the old nest. If Xiangping is not guarded well, then they will be completely suppressed strategically.

Afterwards, Li Shimin waved his hand and gave an order: "The whole army retreats and returns to defend Xiangping!"

After finishing speaking, Li Shimin gritted his teeth and stared at the direction of the mountain where Yu Juluo was hiding, shook off his robe unwillingly, turned and left.

Immediately afterwards, the [-] troops withdrew with Li Shimin.

Eulji Mundeok, who was blocking Yujura's retreat north of the Liaohe River, hadn't figured out the situation before Li Shimin withdrew.

When Ulji Wende heard the news, his face was filled with bewilderment.

He immediately arranged for his soldiers to investigate the situation.

After inquiring clearly, Ulji Wendeok said dumbfounded: "What did you say? Ye Fan led the army to capture Xiangping City???"

"Yes, it is!"

The messenger said.

"No, hurry up!"

Ulji Moondeok's expression changed drastically in shock, and he immediately ordered the Goguryeo army besieged on the north bank of Liaoshui to withdraw back to Liaodong City.

Ye Fan's name has already made Ulji Wende like a thunderbolt. Last time in Dandong City, he suffered a big loss, and nearly 10 people died, while the casualties on Ye Fan's side were almost negligible.

So how could he not be afraid of Ye Fan?

Soon, the Goguryeo army also withdrew.

Yu Juluo's pressure suddenly decreased a lot.

At this time, Yu Juluo was leading the army to hide in the forest, suffering from the pain of mosquito bites, suffering from the helplessness of water and food shortages, and gathered together waiting to die with low morale.

Suddenly, several messengers immediately sent news.

"Li Shimin withdrew his troops, Ulji Mundeok withdrew his troops, General Yu, we are saved, we are saved! General Ye led five thousand elite soldiers, bypassed Beiping County and Yan County, successfully attacked Xiangping City, forced Li Yuan to flee, forced Li Shimin went back to aid Xiangping, forcing Ulji Wende to withdraw as well!"

Soon, this news spread like wildfire among the army, and immediately inspired the army.

Yu Juluo stood up in great surprise: "What did you say? Ye Fan came to save us?"

"Yes General, we are saved!!"

The messenger was also very excited and said excitedly.

"I'll just say it! Our hard work was not in vain, Ye Fan, Ye Fan, I did not misread you!"

Yu Juluo smiled with satisfaction on his face, and then waved his hands immediately: "The whole army listens to the order, cheer me up, part of it will go to recapture our warship, part of it will chase after Li Shimin, and cooperate with General Ye inside and outside to attack him! We can finally avenge this bloody feud!"

After finishing speaking, Yu Juluo led his personal guards and rushed out of the forest with weapons in hand.

After a simple arrangement, 1 people went to Liaoshui to retake the warship, and 2 people, led by Yu Juluo, rushed towards Xiangping.

……

At this time, Li Shimin had already approached the city. Looking at Ye Fan who had already prepared on the Xiangping city wall, he gritted his teeth and shouted: "Ye Fan, you have humiliated me several times and taken away my beloved. Now, you still want to kill me!" Are you cornered?"

"Li Shimin, you asked for it yourself."

Ye Fan sneered, and said disdainfully: "Don't forget, you provoked all our conflicts. The biggest joke in this world is that a bully never thinks he is evil, and he always thinks that the person being bullied is a bully." Serve it right!"
