Li Yuan solemnly issued an order: "Anyone who does this again will be dealt with severely if they are discovered by me! All the people caught now will be released, and all those who died in the battle will be treated favorably by their families and appease the hearts of the people! Otherwise, they will lose their lives." Without the support of public opinion, we can't go far!"

Seeing that Li Yuan had given his orders, even though Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin were unwilling to do so, they couldn't say anything more.

In fact, for them, what does the life and death of the common people matter?

Where there is war, there must be sacrifice.

Sometimes to create a new home, you must first learn how to destroy it.

The sacrifices of these common people can be exchanged for the accumulation of their elite army. When the army's combat power improves, the probability of overthrowing the Sui Dynasty will be higher.

If the Sui Dynasty is overthrown, then the Li family will definitely be more wise than Yang Guang when they are in power.

At that time, the world governed will be even more beautiful.

Wouldn't that be a good thing for the people?

What's so bad about sacrificing such a small part of people in exchange for more people getting a better life?

So in the eyes of Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, Li Xiuning is just a woman's benevolence.

The most frightening thing was that her father also agreed with her opinion, and even forced Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng to prohibit this behavior.

This simply filled the hearts of Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin with displeasure.

But now, as sons and ministers, it is not good for them to openly oppose their father in the hall.

The current Li family's father and son not only have a father-son relationship, but also a subordinate-subordinate relationship.

Li Yuan is already the emperor. As ministers, they must abide by the court etiquette and the etiquette of the emperor and ministers. Otherwise, what is the difference from children playing house?

There is no rule without rules, which is also a principle that Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin rebelled to abide by.

Therefore, Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin had no choice but to pretend to obey the order, but whether they would really act according to Li Yuan's order is unknown.

Seeing that Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin agreed, Li Xiuning didn't pursue it anymore.

Later, Li Yuan arranged for Li Xiuning to lead the Yellow Horn Army left by Li Yuanji.

In order to allow several sons to restrain each other, Li Yuan adopted the name of Tiandi Xuanhuang to divide military power.

Li Jiancheng is the crown prince and the eldest brother, so he naturally commands the Tianzihao battalion, and is the leader of the four armies and the leader of the four generals!

Li Shimin commanded the Dizihao camp, Li Yuanba commanded the Xuanzihao camp, and the Huangzihao camp was originally commanded by Li Yuanji, but since Li Yuanji had died in battle, Li Xiuning is now in command.

Of course, although Li Yuan handed over the Huangzihao battalion to Li Xiuning to command, but because Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin did not trust Li Xiuning very much, they asked Li Yuan to merge the Huangzihao battalion and the Xuanzihao battalion to form the Xuanhuang Allied Forces.

The main commander of the coalition forces is naturally Li Yuanba, and although Li Xiuning is also the commander, he is basically a deputy general.

But Li Xiuning didn't care about this at all, anyway, her heart had never been on the side of the Li clan.

After the meeting, Li Xiuning and Li Yuanba went to the station of the Xuanhuang Allied Forces, which was located in Anle County, [-] miles outside Yuyang City.

……

At the same time, Ye Fan had already led an army from Bohai County to Hejian County.

Crossing the Hutuo River Basin in Hejian County, the opposite is Zhuo County, which has become the territory occupied by Li Yuan.

Ye Fan did not choose to cross the river, because after crossing the river, Li Yuan would be alerted, and Li Yuan would definitely send an army to stop him.

The current Ye Fan is still willing to wait for the results from Li Xiuning.

Once Li Xiuning's results come out, Ye Fan will make corresponding tactical arrangements according to Li Xiuning's results.

Lai Huer originally wanted to attack directly, but Ye Fan refused to let him attack and kept pressing him, which made Lai Huer very upset.

So Lai Huer sued Ye Fan in front of the emperor, saying that Ye Fan acted arbitrarily and did not consider other people's feelings at all.

A paper pleading was sent back to Luoyang directly.

Luoyang, Ziwei City, inside the Hall of Renshou.

Yang Guang paced back and forth in the main hall eagerly. Under the jade steps, there were all civil and military officials, and no one dared to talk nonsense.

Suddenly, the messenger came to report, and a letter came back from Yanmenguan.

"Quick, submit it!"

For several days, there was no movement at Yanmen Pass. Yang Guang was very worried that Li Yuan's army would break through Yanmen Pass. In that case, they could go south and take Dongdu directly!

Chapter 289 Yu Wenhuaji's Little Jiujiu

Looking at the overall situation, there is no better pass than Yanmen Pass.

Once the Yanmen Pass is breached, the enemy army can go all the way south along the Yimapingchuan plain without even crossing the river. The cavalry can reach Dongdu in five days, and the infantry can reach Dongdu in ten days.

What's more, Li Yuan's goal was never Luoyang.

His goal is Jinyang.

As Jinyang is the political, economic and cultural exchange center in the north, if Jinyang is captured, then the Great Tang Empire established by Li Yuan can completely compete with the Central Plains and compete with the Great Sui for the world.

This is what Yang Guang is most afraid of.

In Yang Guang's view, although Ye Fan won Goguryeo, what's the use of winning Goguryeo?

The house is about to be stolen, even if it is to take down the East Turks, it is meaningless!
