The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1019

Li Yuan's belief that the national defense map was correct is something that should inspire anyone.

To gain the upper hand, he decided to send people in to sabotage the operation.

"Gentlemen, what do you think should be done?"

He asked his generals for their opinions.

"Your Highness, since this defense territory is not wrong, then we should march straight in."

A general stepped forward and offered his advice directly.

This was exactly what Li Yuan had in mind, and he was naturally very happy.

They immediately thought that what this general said about donkey-hide gelatin was very good.

"That's right!"

"I also believe that we should advance straight in."

After he finished speaking, the other generals also offered their suggestions, but all of them were roughly the same.

Li Yuan was certain of victory in this attack.

Thinking to himself that he had Li Zhi and Xu Tian firmly in his grasp, he smiled smugly.

Subsequently, he sent his own men to infiltrate the Chang'an military camp to burn the grain and fodder.

the other side.

Xu Tian watched as Li Yuan's men kept appearing in the military camp.

They went even further, making sure they knew all their defenses were in place.

"Your Highness, those people have disappeared tonight."

Someone came to report.

Upon hearing the report results, Xu Tian, ​​who had already planned everything, smiled slightly.

"It seems they are ready to make their move."

"Remember, proceed according to the previous plan. We cannot afford to lose our composure now."

Everyone was greatly encouraged after hearing Xu Tian's words.

It's been several days already, and they can finally get to work.

Seeing those people roaming around right under their noses, they had long wanted to deal with them.

What if it wasn't because it didn't disrupt the long-standing plan?

How could they possibly let those people get away with it so easily?

Xu Tian looked at his deputies and said bluntly, "This time, we must ensure that everything goes perfectly."

He wanted to ensure that Li Yuan would never return.

This guy actually used a retreat as a tactic to leave Chang'an, but it was just a temporary expedient.

They even wanted to plot a rebellion.

Then he would give him that opportunity, allowing him a chance to rebel.

Let this guy think his time has come.

"Go to the grain depot now."

Upon entering the military camp, Xu Tian ordered his men to stand guard outside.

"Make sure those people aren't here right now."

The subordinate replied, "Your Highness, those people are indeed not here right now."

"Yes, but we only have one hour. We must change everything within that time."

Xu Tian replaced the grain with rice straw in advance.

In this way, when Li Yuan and the others arrived...

That would ruin their plans.

His subordinates believed that since they had gained the upper hand in this plan, they should take advantage of it.

Once Li Yuan arrives, we'll trap him like a turtle in a jar.

All plans are in place.

Xu Tian ordered his men, "Retreat immediately."

Meanwhile, his spies sent out replied, "Your Highness, a secret message from the border."

Xu Tian opened the door and, sure enough, someone had secretly entered the city.

He didn't even need to guess; he knew immediately who was coming.

After nightfall.

Li Yuan's trusted confidant came out of the tent and, according to Li Yuan's plan, set fire to the grain depot.

"Report! The grain depot is on fire."

A soldier scrambled up and ran to tell his general.

The general was furious.
