The current situation made him no different from Yang Guang, who had completely lost his fighting spirit back then.
There was only a catalyst needed for the so-called mutiny to unfold.
Li Shimin naturally would not let this opportunity slip by. Under the advice of commanders like Gu Quan, Li Shimin stationed his troops by the riverbank without revealing any intention to cross the river.

Simultaneously, he discreetly arranged for barrels to be placed in the Yangtze River, spreading prophecies like "The Celestial Mandate to the Li family, the arrival of a prosperous era" and many others.
—This was an absolute lethal move.
At many times, some seemingly gentle methods are far more effective than direct attacks.
In truth, Yuwen Huaji had indeed learned from Yang Guang's lessons.
He had employed every possible means to appease the remnants of the Xiao Guo Army.
Not only had he improved their treatment.
