The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1020

"What the hell is going on?"

"What are you all standing here for? Hurry up and put out the fire!"

This time, when the military depot caught fire, almost everyone was mobilized.

Among the firefighters were some of Li Yuan's men.

Looking at the grain depot that was already engulfed in flames.

Li Yuan's subordinates believed that their plan had been perfectly completed.

They quickly reported this news to Li Yuan.

Upon learning this, Li Yuan was overjoyed, believing his plan had succeeded.

"Good, good, the granaries in Chang'an have been burned down."

He laughed uncontrollably.

After a long silence, he continued, "The saying goes, 'When marching, supplies must come first.' I've already burned down Xu Tian's supply depot. I don't believe he can bounce around much longer."

"Wang Fujiang commands, obey."

Deputy General Wang Fujiang stepped forward from the middle of the generals.

"Your subordinate Wang Fujiang obeys the order!"

Li Yuan gave a direct order: "I command you to advance directly towards Chang'an and capture the city within three days."

This time, he believed he was completely safe.

There will absolutely be no mishaps.

So he simply ordered his deputy to charge straight in.

After receiving the order, Deputy General Wang Fujiang led 20,000 troops forward.

Li Yuan waited for them to enter Chang'an City.

They can then immediately follow.

This plan is flawless.

In his view, Deputy General Wang Fujiang was the best candidate for this mission.

He just needs to sit here and wait for the good news.

All of this came about very simply.

Xu Tian was even more worried because of the fire at the grain depot.

"Your Highness, please execute the personnel on duty that day."

Xu Tian's subordinates began to play along with his act.

All they did was to let that person know that their grain depot had indeed been burned down.

Xu Tian reluctantly agreed.

He ordered the execution of the personnel on duty that day.

After capturing the person, they pretended to kill him.

When Li Yuan's subordinates learned of this, they were even more excited.

He quickly relayed the message to Li Yuan.

Meanwhile, Xu Tian, ​​watching the pigeon being released, was overjoyed.

This only proves that his plan this time was flawless.

You already know that the grain and fodder inside the Great Wall were burned.

In this way, he will surely arrive quickly, advance straight in, and take Chang'an.

At that time, he will simply use the empty city strategy on him.

So what if Li Yuan dies without a burial place?

Looking at those malignant tumors hidden in the military camp, Xu Tian's lips curled into a slight smile.

These people were all Li Yuan's loyal followers, and they were all fearless in the face of death.

"Your Highness, should we kill Li Yuan's men now?"

They believed the matter was now perfectly resolved, and all they had to do was wait for Li Yuan's men to take the bait.

As for his men, they can be dealt with now.

Xu Tian shook his head, indicating his disagreement.

"Although we no longer need them to deliver messages, we cannot kill these people just yet."

He no longer needed anyone to deliver messages.

However, if these people were killed now, it would definitely arouse Li Yuan's suspicion.

Therefore, he had to be careful.

Otherwise, this plan could easily fall apart.

The generals thought Xu Tian's considerations were thorough, so they didn't argue further.
