Why did Li Er deal with Li Chengzong? The reason is very simple, although Li Chengzong and Li Jiancheng have become like fire and water, and there is a tendency for father and son to become enemies, but his good nephew is in a sense a person who is a person with himself, both are ambitious, and they are unwilling to submit to others, but Li Chengzong broke away from the Li family early and became independent, and had his own territory and power; And Li Er, he still needs to make compromises and continue to survive in the shadow of Lao Li Tou and Li Da (Li Jiancheng).
The problem is precisely here, although Li Chengzong has not officially announced his departure from the Li clan in Longxi, but he calls himself the King of Han, and throws aside the title of King of Taiyuan that Chang'an gave him like garbage, and at the same time, he runs the land of Qilu like an iron bucket, not to mention that this kid also got the jade seal of the country, such a person who is inextricably linked to the Tang Dynasty in Chang'an, but has the ability to dominate the world, in the eyes of Li Er, who has a strong strategic vision, is full of threats.
"Father, Mr. Zhang Zhongjing once said in "On Typhoid Fever, Sun Disease": 'Licorice Ganping has the ability to calm the inside and outside.'" The current Huaxia is like a sick person, if you want to be completely cured, you must take strong medicine, and if you take strong medicine, you must use licorice ........" Li Er did not directly tell the reason why he wanted to deal with Li Chengzong, but told Old Man Li and everyone present about a Chinese medicinal herb called licorice.......
"Okay, second brother, we all know that you are talking about licorice, but what does this have to do with what we are discussing today?" Li Yuanji didn't understand what Li Er meant, and he roughly interrupted Li Er's words, but this didn't make Li Er angry.
Li Yuanji didn't understand, but Li Xiuning, the princess of Pingyang on the side, heard Li Er's voice, "Erlang, you mean that we have to concentrate our forces on dealing with that kid of Chengzong?" ”
"The third sister is really powerful, little brother, that's what I mean......" Seeing that in addition to Li Xiuning and Li Jiancheng somewhat understanding, Li Yuanji and Old Man Li were a little confused, Li Er explained, "Father, licorice is sweet, peaceful in nature, and enters the four meridians of the heart, spleen, lungs, and stomach. Many of those great doctors have compared licorice to a 'peacemaker', why? Because there are a variety of medicinal materials in the prescription, it is important to pay attention to a monarch and a minister. But this gentleman and minister, they are not harmonious with each other, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and the prescription must be like this, and it is inevitable that there will be some reactions when several medicinal materials are combined, or make or complement each other, in short, it will not be quiet, and it will be used as medicine. Licorice plays a role in harmonizing it, so that everyone is calm, working together, working together to resist diseases and evils, and has the power of first calming the inside and then the outside. ”
Speaking of this, Li Er's eyes shone with a stunning light, and he said word by word, "Although that child of Chengzong is a descendant of our old Li family, he has already embarked on the road of rebellion since the day he established himself as the king of Han......... Father, Chengzong, this child has embarked on the wrong path, it is our family's education that has gone wrong, and the son heard that the child does not respect Confucius and Mencius, but is very close to the Mo family......... If he and his Han Kingdom do not obey your dispatch for a day, then our Datang will always be a joke......... Only let Chengzong, this kid, rein in the precipice, and return to our Li family......"
"Only when our Li family first forms a joint force, can we hunt the Central Plains with Du Fuwei, Wang Shichong, Xiao Mo and other heroes in the world, and finally realize our old Li family's idea of dominating the world......," Li Er continued, "Only when we are internally stable, can we unify the country and compete with the Turkic Goguryeo and other foreign Yi........."
Li Xiuning looked at his second brother, his eyes flashed with appreciation and admiration, and Li Jiancheng's eyes were full of jealousy.
Only Li Jiancheng, Li Da, understands that his second brother is ambitious, but he doesn't know that his second brother's ambition is not smaller than that of the rebel who ran away from home, and to put it mildly, this pair of uncles and nephews is actually the same kind of people.
Li Er's ambition should be said to have been hidden under his humble gentleman's skin from the beginning. The ambition of the first Li Er may not be as big as wanting to dominate the world, but perhaps Li Er has been firm in his mission since he was a child, but it cannot be denied that Li Yuan's ascension to the throne is just a buffer for Li Er's accession to the throne. Under the stormy rule of the Great Sui, the people's hearts themselves were like living rats, and suddenly there was a dawn of a stable life, and anyone would cling to that hope, but Li Er's greatest success was not only his final victory, but also his forbearance before the final battle.
When he can't give the enemy a fatal blow, he would rather pretend to be weak first, that is, he has no merit and is also in line with feudal etiquette, and when the qi of the Great Sui is basically exhausted, he not only pretends to be forced to revolt but also understands the face of the elders. He did not rashly raise troops by himself, but under the stimulation of Li Yuan's incident, he successfully helped his father, who had long been preparing to rebel, find a reasonable reason for the rebellion, and also found a high-sounding pretense for the further accumulation of his strength.
Of course, Li Ershao, who has not yet reached the age of the weak crown, has also made full consideration for his future life, even if he is the most qualified to be the emperor in front of his eldest son, public opinion will not allow it, not to mention that the lion who is still in the cub period is no match for the cub who is stronger than himself, so the disguised incompetence secretly accumulates strength.
To have their own advisers, but also to their loyalty, want to follow their own birth to death of their subordinates, but also to them do not listen, the young Li Er deeply aware of this problem, so he trained with his own birth and death brother army, but also in the battle as much as possible to recruit wise men to win the hearts of the people, in the three or four years of the break, Li Er not only got a large number of concentric brothers, countless capable ministers and strategists, but also in the battle with the well-trained two young corps ushered in the hearts of the people.
But the vestibule is glamorous, and it's time to clean the backyard, the incompetent and weak father, the unconscious brother who attacks people's hearts, and the arrogant rookie brother are all obstacles that hinder him from dominating the world, and the father is the best to deal with, and the old brother who doesn't open his eyes and the fried brother are not certain to die in Li Er's eyes. But before these obstacles are removed, there is one biggest obstacle that Li Er needs to solve with the help of the power of the entire Tang Dynasty, and this biggest obstacle is none other than his good nephew Li Wei and Li Chengzong.
Regarding this good nephew of his, he knows very well that his runaway nephew is the biggest enemy who has ascended to the Ninth Five-Year Supreme and achieved great deeds, and as long as he has the opportunity, he must kill the other party........
That's it this time, since the good nephew's father is strongly advocating to kill his rebellious son, then he Li Er doesn't mind digging a hole for his good big brother while killing potential opponents......
As for the strong combat power of the Han army, Li Er was not very afraid, "Father, as long as we take Luoyang City and destroy Wang Shichong, we have subdued Du Fuwei in the south, and Luo Yi in the north, who has already surrendered to us........ I believe that Chengzong's nephew will make a wise choice at that time...... As for the combat power of the Han army, hehehe, it was a Xuanjia soldier who had not met his son......"
It is said that there is no first in literature, and there is no second in martial arts; For the outstanding performance of the Han army in the battle of Dingyuan Village, Li Er, as the head of the Tang Dynasty generals, was quite unconvinced, he really wanted to see the elite of the Han army that had sprung up in the turmoil at the end of the Sui Dynasty and had outstanding records, he did not believe that under the impact of the armored heavy cavalry like the Xuanjia soldiers he had carefully built, the Han army could still play a proud record like Dingyuan Village......
Since the three Li brothers all advocated coercing Li Chengzong's Han State, Old Man Li also pushed the boat along the river and approved the strategic concept proposed by the Li two and three brothers to defeat Wang Shichong, capture Luoyang, and form an encirclement of the Han State.
