() It took dozens of miles away from east, west, south and north, but Li Jiancheng did not dare to explore the way further, because no matter how far it was, he would encounter the Yuan army!
After a series of trouble, Li Jiancheng has less than 300,000 Tang troops under him.
In terms of quantity alone, the number of Tang troops is twice that of Yuan troops in Guanzhong. However, Li Jiancheng did not have any confidence in winning the battle.
This is because the Tang Dynasty was scared by the strong combat power of the Yuan army! . .
You know, the Khan of Xitu led Ye Hu to the Central Plains with an army of 300,000 to the Central Plains! What happened? Before Guanzhong even arrived, it was destroyed!
Although the Tang army claimed to be stronger than the herdsmen of Xitu, this was just a little bit of confidence in defending the city! If it was really a flat duel, Li Jiancheng knew that the same number of Tang army had basically no chance of winning.
The 300,000 troops in the Western Turkish army were all in the decisive battle in the field and Zhou Quanjun was destroyed. Not to mention the Tang army, which was less than 300,000!
So, very consciously, Li Jiancheng classified his Tang Dynasty into a disadvantaged group.
If you fight, you will definitely not win!
It seems that it is not possible to hide, because there is basically no firewood in Chang'an City! If you continue like this, you can only demolish the house and make a fire to cook!
But if this is the case, what should I do in winter? . .
"I believe everyone knows the situation of our Tang Dynasty. All my dear ministers have said what should I do?"
In the court, His Majesty Li Jiancheng seemed to have left such a topic lightly.
Below, a group of civil and military officials heard this, look at me, and look at you, but there was no sound.
After a while, Li Jiancheng's cheap uncle was still there. Dou Kangxian, the general of Qianniu Bei, whispered. "Or what, we will surrender!"
When the war reached this point, most of the court officials in the Tang Dynasty had already taken the initiative to surrender. Because at this time, all ten people could see that the Tang Empire was beyond salvation! It was only a matter of ending.
But what makes everyone have a little concern is Dayuan’s attitude towards the aristocratic family!
However, no matter how bad Dayuan treats the aristocratic family, as long as the aristocratic family does not rebel or anything else, Dayuan really doesn't take the initiative to kill people!
When choosing between the interests of the family and the life and death of the entire family, I believe that most people of fate will not tend to the latter. After all, no matter how much benefit you get, if you have no life to enjoy it, then everything will be
It's futile.
But the children of the aristocratic family were all rebellious after all, so naturally they refused to give up their face and beg for surrender to the Yuan army. Instead, they were waiting for a suitable opportunity.
The reason why Dou Kang dared to take the lead today is because Dou Kang felt that the time seemed to be ripe!
Just a while ago, Dou Kang inexplicably received a letter. He said that as long as Dou Kang's brothers were willing to surrender to the Yuan army, the Dou family in Qizhou could be safe, and even wealth for a lifetime would be fine.
This letter came inexplicably and was not named, but after reading it, Dou Kang was shocked.
Because Dou Kang discovered that the handwriting of this letter was very similar to the handwriting of a person, a person who was rumored to have been dead for more than ten years.
That person is Dou Kang's sister, Li Yuan's true wife, Li Jiancheng's mother, and Taimu Dou, who has been chased as the queen.
"What's the situation? If it were her, how could she abandon her own son and turn to speak to the enemy?"
"But if it weren't for her, who would it be?"
With a series of questions, Dou Kang called his brother of his fellow clan, and the Prime Minister consulted Dou Gui to join the army.
After tactfully expressing his doubts, Dou Kang discovered that his cheap brother also had such an almost exactly the same letter of persuasion.
The two then muttered and discussed for more than two days, but finally they could not make up their minds to surrender.
The Dou family has no deep hatred with the Yuwen family. The reason why they defected to Li Yuan was because Li Yuan was their cheap brother-in-law (brother-in-law). At this moment, the country was about to fall in the Tang Dynasty, so the Dou brothers naturally had no idea of dying for their own country.
On the contrary, if surrender can be exchanged for peace among the Dou family, there is no doubt that this is a very cost-effective transaction.
But the Dou brothers and Li Jiancheng have such a kinship relationship after all, so the Dou brothers decided to take a look at their cheap nephew Li Jiancheng's attitude towards him and others first, and then decide whether to go or stay.
In the court, it is naturally not only the Dou brothers who are willing to surrender, but most other court officials are basically the same, and they just want to have no way to surrender!
In fact, at this moment, Li Jiancheng himself was a little moved!
Because according to Li Jiancheng's understanding of Yuwen Chenglong, those who surrender voluntarily will generally not have any major problems, at least their lives and safety are guaranteed for the time being. If they are defeated and captured, they will basically be left with a dead end!
But Li Jiancheng is an emperor after all. Although he is not very well-known and has not been a good person for a few days, he has the dignity of an emperor! How could he surrender in a humble manner?
Therefore, when the civil and military officials heard Dou Kang's words, they first whispered, and then saw that the Emperor and His Majesty Li Jiancheng had no tough attitude towards this, they quickly became bolder and began a heated discussion.
Seeing that the scene seemed to be out of control, Li Jiancheng, who was sitting high on the dragon chaise, finally couldn't sit still. He slapped the table suddenly and Li Jiancheng said angrily, "Enough, stop me!
When all the civil and military officials heard this, they lowered their eyebrows and kept their foreheads and looked like they were turtle.
"I asked you to come today to discuss with you how to deal with the current situation, not to ask you to plan how to surrender to the Yuan Dynasty!"
"What do you think about this matter? You might as well say it."
"What else can you have? With your attitude, even if we really have any other ideas, we will probably have been wiped out by you! I may not be able to do so, and it will cause you to kill yourself or something!"
When all the ministers heard this, they all complained in their hearts.
After a cold look around, Li Jiancheng found that most of the court officials in the middle dodge their eyes, their eyes were floating, and their minds were no longer knowing where to fly.
After hesitating for a long time, Li Jiancheng turned his attention to his cheap royal relatives, Li Xiaoji, Li Xiaogong, Li Daoxuan and others, and asked with his eyes, what's going on!
Unlike the Dou brothers and those civil and military ministers, most of the members of the Li Tang royal family came from the Li family in Longxi. They knew that they had already been stamped with the lingering Li Tang royal family. Even if they surrendered to the Yuan Dynasty, they would probably not.
What good results are there? The possibility of being settled in the autumn after the fall is extremely likely. Once you surrender, Li Jiancheng may be fine. They, the Li Tang royal family, will definitely be in trouble!
It can be said that at the critical moment, these members of the Li Tang royal family were the skeletons that supported the Tang Empire.
Now seeing Li Jiancheng, the cowardly boy, asks him and others for advice, although Li Xiaoji and others are despised, they have to use their brains to help Li Xiaoji find a solution.
After a while, Li Xiaoji was the first to speak, "Why don't we lead these hundreds of thousands of troops to the Turkic grassland north?" (To be continued.)
