Sui and Tang Dynasties: Engagement to Li Xiuning, start with heavy snow dragon ride

Every step was clearly calculated by Yang Zhao.

"Second Young Master, has Yang Zhao been playing tricks since Xihe County?"

Liu Hongji said at this time.

"Yes."

Li Shimin replied.

"And he also knows under what circumstances I will take the initiative to attack."

Li Shimin added a sentence.

"If that's the case, isn't this Yang Zhao too terrifying?"

Liu Hongji secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Hearing this, Li Shimin's body was also shaken, and he felt a surge of fear like a tide.

He still underestimated Yang Zhao's ability, which led to the current situation.

"What should we do now?"

After a long silence, Li Shimin looked at Liu Hongji helplessly and asked.

Liu Hongji also fell silent, and did not answer for a long time.

"Second son, there are only two choices now, either give up Shangdang County and concentrate our troops in Taiyuan."

Liu Hongji said slowly.

"Secondly, it is to concentrate our troops to defend Shangdang County."

He continued.

"Yes, it has come to this point."

Li Shimin smiled wryly.

What's the difference between this and a dead end?

No matter which one you choose, there are countless risks in it.

If the troops were concentrated in Shangdang County, the Li family would have no chance of turning over if they failed.

If the troops were concentrated in Taiyuan, the Li family would have to fight with their backs, but the situation would be better than concentrating the troops in Shangdang County.

But concentrating troops in Shangdang County can also allow the Li family to survive longer.

"Ugh!"

Li Shimin sighed and pulled his hair helplessly.

He didn't know what to do in the face of the current situation.

All the arrogance and talent turned into countless fragments at this moment.

"Second Young Master, don't worry."

Liu Hongji could only comfort him.

However, at this moment, Li Shimin was already on the verge of collapse.

How could he cheer up just because of Liu Hongji's one or two words?

This time, Li Shimin wanted revenge, but he didn't expect this to be the result.

All confidence and determination to revenge, as well as arrogance were instantly shattered.

His fear of Yang Zhao also reached a very terrifying level.

In fact, Li Shimin is not in desperate situation, he still has many ways in his mind.

But he is not confident that these measures can change the situation in front of him.

"call..."

Li Shimin let out a long breath.

"Let's go back, return to Taiyuan, and give up Shangdang County."

He made a difficult choice.

"promise."

Liu Hongji took the order.

Immediately afterwards, he quickly issued a military order, and the garrison in Shangdang County immediately moved.

The army gathered towards the north of the city, and could return to Taiyuan only through the north gate.

Li Shimin also calmed down and walked towards the north gate.

"Report!"

At this moment, a Tang Jun came to report in a hurry.

"What's the matter?"

Hearing the voice of the soldiers, Li Shimin turned around and asked.

"The Sui Army is attacking!"

The general gasped.

"so fast?"

Li Shimin was taken aback for a moment.

"Second Young Master, hurry up!"

Liu Hongji urged.

Li Shimin gritted his teeth, turned his head and ran towards the north gate.

Since you chose to give up Shangdang County, there is no need to defend, just let the Sui army attack in.

"kill!"

The scream of killing sounded.

A few muffled sounds were heard, and it was obvious that the climbing ladder had already been built on the city wall.

At the same time, the Sui army also began to slam the city gate with siege cones.

Judging from this posture, the Sui army's offensive was quite ferocious.

Li Shimin was anxious in his heart, and subconsciously quickened his pace.

He was worried that the Sui army would break through the city gate a little later, and whether he could leave would be a problem.

"Second Young Master, hurry up!"

Liu Hongji, who was waiting at the north city gate, shouted.

Li Shimin stepped on his horse and quickly arrived at the North City Gate.

When he was about to leave with Liu Hongji, a muffled sound came suddenly.

Immediately afterwards, the gate of the city was breached.

Yang Zhao and the Sui army rushed in and approached the north city gate.

Li Shimin didn't know why he was in a daze, giving the Sui army time to chase him.

"Second Young Master, hurry up!"

Liu Hongji roared.

This roar woke up Li Shimin instantly.

"Yes, let's go!"

Li Shimin quickly replied.

A group of people quickly walked out of the North City Gate and headed north.

Not long after Li Shimin and Liu Hongji left, they heard shouts from behind.

Li Shimin looked back, and saw Yang Zhao appearing on top of the North City Gate.

"Li Shimin ran slower, and Ben Gong didn't intend to chase you."

Yang Zhao said lightly.

Hearing this, Li Shimin was taken aback for a moment.

Except for a sudden attack on the city gate, the Sui army did not show any intention of pursuing.

"After all, there are not many troops left in the Palace."

Yang Zhao said specifically.

"what?"

Li Shimin was taken aback for a moment.

"Damn!"

Liu Hongji cursed angrily.

It is true that Yang Zhao's troops were not many, after all, the troops were divided into two groups and a lot of people were sent to ambush them.

The reason why they didn't react was also because they were ambushed by Yang Zhao.

In other words, even if Tang Jun doesn't leave, he can at least stick to it for a while.

However, now, the Sui army took down the main city of Shangdang County without bloodshed.

"Wow!"

Li Shimin also reacted, and spit out a mouthful of blood when he opened his mouth.

Chapter 233 Li Shimin Almost Dizzy

"Yang Zhao!"

Li Shimin was about to faint, but he forced a breath and looked at Yang Zhao viciously.

Because Yang Zhao not only plotted against him, but also manipulated him to death.

When the Sui army launched an ambush, it was actually to scare Li Shimin on purpose.

Yang Zhao didn't have many troops at that time, although he could kill Li Shimin if he had to bite the bullet, the casualties would also increase.

So Yang Zhao thought about it again and again, and deliberately let Li Shimin escape to scare them.

This made the Tang army headed by Li Shimin feel fear, and the news of Duan Zhixuan's death made it worse.

Under strong pressure, it is not surprising that Tang Jun chose to give up Shangdang County and defend Taiyuan to the death.

In other words, Li Shimin can continue to guard the main city of Shangdang County.

The Sui army is not sure, it can be captured in a short time.

If Li Shimin chooses to withdraw his troops and retreat to Taiyuan, it will allow the Sui army to easily take Shangdang.

For a moment, Li Shimin felt regretful in his heart.

It's okay to be tricked by Yang Zhao, but also to be tricked by the other party.

For Li Shimin, this is simply a shame and a great humiliation.

"Damn!"

Liu Hongji also blushed.

He is a veteran, a half-life veteran of the army, and Yang Zhao even managed to handle him.

"retreat!"

Li Shimin took a deep breath, and finally issued an order to withdraw troops.

So far, what else can I do but withdraw?

"Thank you, the second son of the Li family, for surrendering Shangdang County."
