After Li Yuan walked out of the tent, he shook his head and smiled helplessly as he looked at the coffin that was already transported into the camp from the entrance and placed not far away from the main tent. When Li Yuan saw Zhangsun Wuji back then, he only said to let Zhangsun Wuji come along and let Du Qi deal with him. Although he fell into Du Qi's hands, Du Qi might not kill him.
What a pity!
Zhangsun Wuji was too unyielding.
If Zhangsun Wuji knew that Du Qi would not agree to the peace talk, it would not matter even if he came.
Li Yuan walked to the front of the coffin and reached out to touch it. He sighed and said, "Zhangsun Wuji, why did you do this? Now that you're dead, the Emperor has one less trusted aide. This time, I did not facilitate a truce between the two countries. And the war will still continue. Without you, the Emperor will have one less person to give advice to, and the Tang dynasty will have one less power. "
"Come, let's go out of the camp."
Li Yuan ordered.
The attendant let Li Yuan board the carriage, but Li Yuan did not board the carriage. Instead, he followed Zhangsun Wuji's coffin and walked out. Because Li Yuan was old, he walked very slowly. So, he spent a lot of effort to walk out of the camp. He stood outside the camp and looked at Du Qi's camp. His turbid eyes revealed a fierce expression.
"Bring me the sword!"
Li Yuan ordered.
The soldier escorting at the side did not understand and could only hand over the sword in his hand.
Li Yuan held the sword. At this moment, although his face was full of age spots and wrinkles, and even his breathing was out of breath, and he was completely exhausted, Li Yuan seemed to have endless power in his hands at this moment.
He looked at the soldier at the side and said, "Go back and tell the Emperor to take revenge and defeat Xia."
The soldier did not understand and agreed.
Li Yuan stared with his eyes wide open. He raised the long sword in his hand and directly slashed across his neck.
With a slash, the blade cut through the neck.
Dark red blood spurted out with a puff, dyeing the ground red. Li Yuan's body was even more shaky. The soldier was so scared that his body trembled. However, there was a soldier who quickly went forward to support Li Yuan, not letting him fall to the ground.
At this moment, Li Yuan still had a trace of aura.
He suddenly laughed.
He was someone who was about to die. Even if he didn't commit suicide, he wouldn't be able to live for long. And now, Du Qi rejected the request for peace, Li Yuan added fuel to the fire, making Li Shimin remember today's hatred, making Li Shimin truly engraved it in his bones and heart. With Zhangsun Wuji's hatred and Li Yuan's hatred, Li Yuan believed that even if Li Shimin was in adversity, he would still fight to the death.
The Tang dynasty had not really been defeated yet.
Li Yuan looked at the sky. The golden sunlight shone down and shone on Li Yuan's body, causing Li Yuan's body to seem to be enveloped in a layer of golden light.
In Li Yuan's eyes, it was as if his old wife, Madam Dou, and a group of dead children and grandchildren appeared.
"I'm coming!"
Li Yuan suddenly raised his hand, as if he wanted to touch the person who appeared in the air. However, his hand had just reached midair when it fell down, and he had already lost his breath.
When the soldiers and guards saw this, they immediately shouted.
Many people even cried.
"Come, let's go back to the camp."
The leading general looked back at Xia Xia's camp, then carefully placed Li Yuan's body on the carriage. Then, he led a group of people down Changbai Slope and went straight to the Tang army camp.
Everything outside the camp was discovered by the soldiers standing guard at the entrance of the camp. They quickly reported it to Du Qi. When Du Qi learned that Li Yuan committed suicide outside the camp, he couldn't help but sigh.
Old friends, one less person.
To Du Qi, Li Yuan was an extremely important person. Because in the past, Li Yuan took great care of him. If it weren't for Li Yuan, Du Qi's industries wouldn't have developed so quickly. And if it weren't for Li Yuan, many of his industries wouldn't have developed so quickly.
It could only be said that the current situation was like this.
Destiny made fools of people.
Du Qi thought for a while and ordered, "Men, summon Li Jing and Shangguan Yi for a discussion."
The soldier responded and turned to inform.
Not long after, Li Jing and Shangguan Yi entered together. The two bowed to Du Qi and sat down. Du Qi went straight to the point and talked about Li Yuan's request for peace and Zhangsun Wuji's death. In the end, he mentioned that Li Yuan committed suicide as soon as he walked out of the camp. After the matter was explained clearly, Du Qi said, "I predict that when the news of Li Yuan's suicide comes back, Li Shimin will definitely go crazy and even attack like crazy. So, at the moment, we need to think about how to deal with it and set up the defense of Changbai Slope. "
Shangguan Yi agreed, "Your Majesty is right. Li Shimin executed Zhangsun Wuji and then let Li Yuan come to ask for peace, hoping to stop the war. Because the Tang dynasty is in chaos, Li Shimin is anxious to ask for peace. Especially with Li Yuan's death, Li Shimin will definitely not be able to hold back. I think that now is our chance to completely annihilate the other party in one go. As long as we annihilate this batch of Li Shimin's army, we can march straight in and head straight for Chang 'an. "
Pausing, Shangguan Yi continued, "When Your Majesty was in the west region, because there was only the west region, your strength was not strong. So even if you won, you could not march straight in. But now, there is such a possibility. So, we should seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to kill our way into the central plains and strive for the world. "
Li Jing stroked his beard, "Your Majesty, Pavilion Head Shangguan's words make sense. The current situation is the most beneficial to Mr. Xia. As long as we seize this opportunity, Mr. Xia can enter the central plains. "
Du Qi also had a bright smile on his face.
Mr. Xia's opportunity had indeed come.
Shangguan Yi continued, "What we need to do now is actually very simple. We need to guard Changbai Slope and consume Li Shimin's military strength. Consume their strength first, then gather their strength to counterattack. "
Li Jing said, "I second that."
The current arrangement for Du Qi's side was actually very simple. They only needed to set up a defensive line and resist with all their might. Du Qi, Shangguan Yi, and Li Jing discussed carefully. After confirming the countermeasures, they quickly made arrangements and prepared for the next battle.
The entire Mr. Xia's army at Changbai Slope was quickly mobilized.
At the front line of Changbai Slope, all the weapons were brought.
All the soldiers entered the trenches and were on guard.
Mortar after mortar was in place, and box after box of grenades were all placed in the position. There were even soldiers who were constantly setting up mines at the front line of Changbai Slope to block the Tang army.
The war machine was already mobilized.
After everyone was mobilized, Du Qi personally patrolled the trenches at the front of the formation. As he patrolled, he encouraged the soldiers and even announced that the final battle was coming, and that the opportunity for revenge was coming.
The fighting spirit of the soldiers was completely ignited.
The soldiers rubbed their fists and prepared their weapons, ready to fight.
