In front of Li Yuan, there are now two choices.

First, Chen Ling, who was loyal to the court, returned to Jiangdu City, defeated the rebel Yuwen, Sima Dekan and others, and took back Jiangdu. Second, he simply found an opportunity to leave the Jiangbei camp, go to the opposite Du Fuwei military camp, and go to Luo Cheng.

If the emperor had not died, Li Yuan might have to go to the opposite Du Fuwei military camp. After all, the emperor would not be able to help him with such a desperate attempt.

But now Yu Wen and others killed the emperor, and Chen Ling and the others also said they were willing to support the emperor's coffin to return to Xijing.

In Li Yuan's opinion, this seemed to be an opportunity.

As long as he can leave Jiangdu, a trapped area surrounded by all sides, he may not have no chance to return to Guanzhong. He is now the Minister of the Huangmen, the Minister of Political Affairs. Yuan Chong, the Right Master of Jiangdu, was killed by the rebels. Xiao Yu was in Taiyuan, and the Minister of the Inner History came to protect the other party in Pengcheng.

If he could invade Jiangdu, then he would have the final say in the Jiangdu court.

As long as you can return to Guanzhong, everything is possible.

Especially in the chaotic times, Guanzhong is a treasure land, with both the rich Guanzhong Plain and the dangers of four barriers, which is the foundation of the imperial foundation.

To become the foundation of the emperor in the capital, one must have a place where dragons prosper. This place where dragons prosper must meet three conditions, and the first thing is to be able to defend.

Such as Jiangdu, it is impossible to guard places, and there are no dangers on all sides, so even Yang Guang wants to go to Jiangning, Danyang.

But although Jiangning has been a capital city for several dynasties, it is far behind Guanzhong.

There are four obstacles in Guanzhong and are at the edge of the corner, which is definitely easy to defend and difficult to attack.

In addition to being able to defend, Guanzhong can also be maintained.

Being able to raise is also the key to achieving the hegemony of the emperor. Otherwise, what's the use of being able to defend alone? If you can't support the army, you can't become the power. The Guanzhong Plain is extremely rich, and it is absolutely no problem to raise soldiers.

I think the Qin and Han dynasties were all based in Guanzhong, but Yuwen Tai and others occupied a corner of Guanzhong, but they finally created the three dynasties of the Western Wei, Northern Zhou and Sui.

Can guard and support.

It still has to be able to come out.

Guanzhong also conforms to this point.

You can both hold on and fight out.

The best place to be guarded and raised is actually Shuzhong. Shuzhong is the place that is really easy to guard and raised, but Shuzhong is difficult to come out.

It is difficult for Shu to go, so it is difficult for others to attack him, and it is also difficult for him to attack others. For this reason, it is very easy for Shu to achieve separatist forces in the chaotic world, but it is extremely difficult for Shu to unify the world. This is why even during the Three Kingdoms, Gan Yun, a civil servant of Shu Han, was eventually destroyed by Wei.

The land in Hedong can be easily raised and defended, but in terms of defense, it is not as good as Guanzhong. Hedong faces three attacks on Guanzhong, Henan and Hebei, and there are even the Hu people in the grasslands in the north. Therefore, Hedong is a place of four battles and can accumulate strength.

Compared with this.

Li Yuan felt that the Liaodong, the base of Luo Cheng, was actually very poor.

Liaodong can defend or attack, but it is difficult to maintain.

Because Liaodong has too few populations, it has only a million people so far, so it still counts all slaves. Such a small population base means that Luo Cheng has difficulty raising too many soldiers.

After all, it takes at least twenty farmers to raise a soldier.

To raise 100,000 soldiers, you will get two million farmers. Two million does not refer to the population, but to the Ding Man Farmer. This means that there are 40,500 or even 70,800 people who only offer a population of 100,000 soldiers.

Luo Cheng has not entered the pass and fought a war yet, so there are not many problems in this regard.

If he enters the pass and fights and cannot quickly capture the Central Plains, once he falls into a stiff state, this will become a fatal problem.

Li Yuan remembered that Yuwen Tai followed Hou Mochen into the Pass to quell the rebellion, but in the end he relied on Guanzhong and then seized the world.

Maybe I have a chance.

Thinking of this, Li Yuan finally made a decision and made up his mind.

"The two generals are loyal, and as the prime minister, I, Li Yuan, are naturally even more unspeakable. Please ask the two generals to immediately order the troops and horses, and we will fight back to Jiangdu to quell the rebellion, and then support the emperor's coffin to Guanzhong, restore the court and revitalize the Great Sui Dynasty!"

Seeing this, Chen Len and Shen Guang bowed together.

"We dare not obey the orders of the prime minister!"

Now.

Li Yuan and the two generals summoned the troops of the camp and carried out a brief oath to fight against the thieves.

After Li Yuan counted the crimes of the rebels, he did not forget to promise many powerful benefits.

"After the destruction of the rebellion in Jiangdu City, all the money and silk in the Jiangdu treasury were rewarded to the soldiers who quelled the rebellion."

"After quelling the rebellion, support the emperor's coffin to return to Beijing."

Regarding the soldiers and generals of the Beibei camp, mainly in Luoyang and the Jianghuai region, Li Yuan did not say that he would return to Chang'an, but said that he would return to Beijing, so everyone understood that he would return to Luoyang.

Fifty thousand soldiers from Jiangbei camps were dispatched to set off and returned to Jiangdu.

Yu Wenhua was still forcing Empress Xiao to issue an order to make Yang Hao the emperor, but Empress Xiao refused to obey.

Yu Culture and Tao, "Please think twice."

A Xiaoguo rushed over, "General."

Yu Wenji glared at him, and he immediately changed his words, "Report to the Prime Minister, Li Yuan, Chen Ling and Shen Guang are back!"

Yu Wenhua's expression changed drastically and he hurriedly turned around and left.

Empress Xiao finally felt relieved when she saw him leaving in panic. A palace maid cried to the queen, "Li Xiangguo finally brought troops to challenge the rebellion."

But Empress Xiao did not show any happiness.

The emperor was killed, and all the royal family and royal relatives who accompanied him were killed, leaving only the Qin King Yang Hao.

Even if Li Yuan killed Wang Shichong and others rebel and took back Jiangdu, what if he still couldn't change the situation as it is today.

The Great Sui was over, and she knew very well.

Under the twilight.

Li Yuan led 50,000 troops and finally arrived at the city of Jiangdu.

Yu Wenji and others personally climbed the city to supervise the battle, as if they were facing a great enemy.

Li Yuan sent hundreds of loud soldiers to the city and shouted to the city. While announcing the crimes of Yu Wen and others, he also loudly said that he would only kill the rebels. As long as he was willing to correct the rioters, he would go back to the rebels. He also said that after he destroyed the rebellion, he would support the emperor's coffin and return to the capital.

"Don't listen to their nonsense, shoot me an arrow!" Yu Wenhua said angrily.

Because it was dark, Li Yuan just sent someone to shout and scold him for a while, then withdrew his troops and retreated ten miles to set up a camp, preparing to fight again tomorrow.

Sixty miles away.

Du Fuwei was originally planning to send another army to capture Shanyang in the north of Jiangdu to cut off the troops who came to protect the army in Pengcheng.

However, I unexpectedly reported that there was a big change in Jiangbei Camp, which was camped twenty miles away opposite me.

"Take it again!"

Exploring the horses keeps inquiring about the rewards.

When he finally heard that Jiangbei Daying had actually retreated eastward, he was still a little strange.

And at this time, another military message was sent.

"It turns out that the Jiangdu mutiny, Yu Wenhua, Sima Dekan and others actually killed the king and made a rebellion, and seized the Jiangdu City. Li Yuan and the others returned to Jiangdu City to seek rebellion."

"Master, are we chasing Li Yuanjun?" asked the general.

Du Fuwei snorted, "Will it be better if Li Yuan leads his army back to Jiangdu? We can't it be better if we sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight?"
