Duan Yanshi's hair stood on end in anger, and he was about to draw his sword to attack the messenger.

"Master Duan, the little one didn't lie!"

The messenger panicked and begged for mercy.

"My son won't die, no!"

Duan Yanshi quickly shook his head and said in disbelief.

Obviously, he couldn't digest the news for a while, and the messenger who reported it didn't continue.

Chapter 236

Taiyuan.

Li Shimin turned back with the defeated generals. After seeing the generals guarding the city, they hurriedly took Li Shimin to Tang Guogong's mansion.

After Li Yuan heard the news, he rushed to the lobby and waited.

In less than a moment, Li Shimin and Liu Hongji, who looked sad and embarrassed, finally walked in.

"See father."

"See Duke Tang."

The two saluted.

"Exemption."

Li Yuan's face was gloomy, and he said lightly.

After the two saluted, they stood in place.

The atmosphere in the hall became extremely dignified.

Li Jiancheng, who had lost his arm, glanced at Li Shimin and said nothing.

"What on earth happened?"

Li Yuan looked at Li Shimin and asked.

He wanted to know why Li Shimin lost so quickly, which made people speechless.

"I..."

Li Shimin opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

However, when the words came to his lips, they turned into endless sighs.

"Ok?"

Li Yuan frowned, looking at Li Shimin with displeasure.

"Say!"

He said louder.

"Ugh."

Li Shimin didn't speak, but Liu Hongji sighed.

"Duke Tang, let your subordinates talk about it."

Liu Hongji said.

"Okay, tell me."

Li Yuan nodded, motioning for Liu Hongji to speak quickly.

"We fell into Yang Zhao's trap step by step."

Liu Hongji said.

"What trap?"

After hearing this, Li Yuan asked quickly.

Liu Hongji didn't hide it either, so he told about Duan Zhixuan's ambush of the luggage, and Li Shimin and him being responsible for the ambush of Yang Zhao.

And the reason for the ambush was clearly stated.

Even starting from the Xihe County where the layout was first laid out, among the content mentioned, there is also the content discussed by Liu Hongji and Li Shimin.

After listening, Li Yuan's face twitched fiercely.

Even he thought that Li Shimin's arrangement would win, but he didn't expect such a result.

Including the loss of Shangdang County, Li Yuan didn't find it strange anymore.

He tried to ask, if it was him, he would definitely be recruited too.

After Liu Hongji finished talking about these things, the surrounding area also became silent.

Li Jiancheng's expression was wonderful.

"In other words, since the Sui army left Xihe County for Shangdang County, you have fallen into a trap?"

Li Jiancheng asked.

"good."

Liu Hongji and Li Shimin said almost in unison.

"Damn Yang Zhao, you are so cunning!"

Li Yuan beat the case angrily, and let out a muffled sound.

Everyone was trembling with fright.

What Li Yuan was most angry about was that Shangdang County retreated without a fight, and it was obvious that he could hold on to the opportunity.

Well now, none of the three lines of defense can stop the Sui army, and the final battle can only be held in Taiyuan.

If Taiyuan is destroyed, what should they do?

From the north, flee towards the grassland?

But how can he make a comeback if he escapes to the grassland.

Not to mention, on the way to the grassland, they had to fight against the cavalry led by Li Cunxiao.

Li Cunxiao is a ruthless person, how easy is it to get out of his siege?

"call..."

Li Yuan took a few deep breaths, trying to calm himself down.

"Where is the second son?"

At this moment, a roar sounded.

Hearing this voice, Li Yuan shook his head helplessly.

It is not difficult to hear from the voice that the person who came is Duan Yanshi.

This guy rushed from Duan's house to Duke Tang's mansion, apparently to ask Li Shimin for his crimes.

"Master Duan, Mr. Tang is dealing with important matters inside."

"The old man knows!"

The sound is getting closer.

The gray-haired Duan Yanshi and a guard of the Li family pushed and shoved to the hall of Duke Tang's mansion.

"See Duke Tang."

When Duan Yanshi saw Li Yuan, he hurriedly saluted.

"Duke Tang, Lord Duan refused to listen to persuasion and insisted on breaking in."

The guard said helplessly.

"Okay, I understand."

Li Yuan replied lightly.

"Master Duan, what are you talking about here?"

Li Yuan looked at Duan Yanshi and asked.

"Mr. Tang, old man, I am the only son, but I died in Shangdang County."

Duan Yanshi said angrily.

Yes, the most difficult part is that Duan Zhixuan is the only son of Duan Yanshi.

Once Duan Zhixuan died, the blood of the Duan family would be extinct. How could Duan Yanshi swallow this breath?

Moreover, Duan Zhixuan also experienced a near-death before and returned from Guanzhong.

So Duan Yanshi believed that Duan Zhixuan's life should not be terminated.

"Master Duan, who can explain clearly about the battlefield?"

Li Yuan frowned.

"Old man, I heard that Zhixuan died so miserable that he even came to this old man to cry in his dream!"

Duan Yanshi continued.

His eyes were red, he seemed to be talking to Li Yuan, but he was actually glaring at Li Shimin viciously.

"Second Young Master, what is it that caused the child to die so miserably?"

Duan Yanshi finally set his target on Li Shimin.

"This..."

Li Shimin was dumbfounded, not knowing how to answer.

In fact, this has nothing to do with his tricks, and if he lets others attack the luggage, Duan Zhixuan will not die.

"Tell me, could it be that you killed him?"

Duan Yanshi was furious.

"Ugh."

Li Shimin sighed and had no choice but to tell what happened.

After listening to Duan Yanshi, he was so angry that he blew his beard and stared.

"It was you who killed him!"

Duan Yanshi pointed to Li Shimin and said.

"enough!"

At this moment, Li Yuan shouted angrily, and directly attacked the case.

"Duke Tang, don't you decide for the old man?"

Duan Yanshi asked.

"Mr. Duan, you are also a soldier. You know what happened on the battlefield. No one can explain clearly."

Li Yuan said in a deep voice.

"What's more, the opponent we are facing is still that Yang Zhao."

He continued.

After hearing these words, Duan Yanshi's cloudy eyeballs were foggy.

"But the old man is an only son, why don't I know that the battlefield is changing rapidly?"

Duan Yanshi hesitated and said.

At this moment, he is so distressing.

"Lord Duan, Zhixuan loves me like a brother, and I will support you when he dies, and I will respectfully call you father!"

Li Shimin took a deep breath, and directly showed his attitude.

Hearing this, Li Yuan's expression changed slightly, but he still didn't say anything.
