Chapter 6, The Book of Rebellion
In the previous life, although Xuanyi Daoist traveled down the mountain one day later, he did not immediately go to Huang Zide as soon as he got off the mountain. At that time, although Huang Zide had already entered the sight of Taiqingguan, he was not the first choice of Taiqingguan. At least at this time, Huang Zide, who had only eighteen people left including himself, did not seem to be a hidden dragon worthy of assistance. Zhang Bingzhong and Luo Mengde, who were also in the sight of Taiqingguan, were more like the future Son of Heaven than him at that time, and Taiqingguan also had outer disciples by their side at that time. At that time, Luo Mengde was the first target of Taiqingguan. Xuanyi Daoist also tried to assist Luo Mengde at the beginning. It was only after discovering that Luo Mengde was unbearable that Xuan Yidao switched to Huang Zide. And that was already when Huang Zide opened the mansion. Xuanyi Daoist went down the mountain so early, but joined Huang Zide's camp much later. This also led to the fact that although Xuanyi Daoren became Huang Zide's military advisor, the degree of trust was not high, at least it was far from being comparable to Prime Minister Niu Juming and General Liu Jiexuan. So although at the beginning, Huang Zide also accepted his strategy of "deep cultivation and consolidation, Xu Tu development", but once there was a temptation to take advantage of the opportunity, coupled with the encouragement of Niu Juming and Liu Jiexuan, Huang Zide changed his strategy and rushed to attack the Beijing Division, as a result, although he captured the Beijing Division, he was defeated in the battle with the Jin Army who suddenly entered the customs, and some of the elites accumulated in a few years were almost lost, and then they were chased all the way, losing the Beijing Division, Shanxi and Shaanxi, and Xiangyang. In the end, it was a complete failure.
"Well, in your previous life, you assisted Luo Mengde at the beginning, Luo Mengde is a smart person, smarter than Huang Zide and Zhang Huanghu, but he is not ambitious at all. This kind of person can't gather luck. You've wasted a year with him in vain. To be honest, it is better to assist Zhang Huanghu than to assist him! Your eyes are so clear-sighted......" The voice said again, Xuan Yi felt that this senior might not have spoken to anyone for a long time, so he seemed a little talkative.
"Well, what are your plans now?" The voice asked.
Xuan Yi thought for a while and said: "Seniors, juniors think, when you go down the mountain at this time, don't go to Luo Mengde, but go directly to Shangluo Mountain and go to Huang Zide." In contrast, it is Huang Zide who has the best chance of success. And now Huang Zide is hiding in Shangluo Mountain, and he is still hiding in the mountains next to Fushui Pass in Shangnan County, and this is also the time when he is most frustrated. If you come to the door at this time, you only need to make a little effort to gain his trust and reuse - just find a reason to persuade the head of the master to give up Luo Mengde. ”
"Convincing that old Taoist priest to give up Luo Mengde is just a matter of details." The voice said with a somewhat dissatisfied tone, "As the so-called 'big bank ignores the details', when doing big things, you should first consider the overall situation clearly, rather than getting into the details too quickly." Although the details are also important, if you enter the details too quickly, it is easy to be blinded and lose sight of the forest. In my opinion, this is also a big reason why you failed in your previous life. You have to remember the saying: 'Strategy wins because it's right, and tactics win because it's right.'" If you are strategically wrong, the more successful you are tactically, the worse the consequences will be. ”
Xuan Yi frowned and said, "Senior, what do you mean by strategy and tactics." ”
"What a fool!" The voice said, "Strategy, it's the big strategy; Tactics are specific small means. Let's start with your strategic considerations. ”
Xuan Yi thought for a while and said, "I think we should first reorganize the team and conduct training, and then wait for next year, when the Tartars enter the army and the imperial army is transferred." Kill from Shangluo Mountain, and then take Luoyang first, firstly to create momentum, and secondly, to obtain materials and troops. Then they went south to seize Huguang. The so-called 'Huguang is ripe, the world is full', Huguang is the granary of the world. After controlling Huguang, there was the foundation of raising the army and supporting the people, and then to the north to seize Shaanxi and Shanxi, and in the process to defeat the main force of the imperial court. This makes it impossible for the imperial court to attack us on a large scale. Then, after three years of lessons, and accumulating enough strength, you can sweep the world. Until then, the most important thing is to be able to endure. If you don't lay a good foundation, no matter how good the opportunity is, you must endure it and never rush it. Tartars can occupy the world, and there are many tricks. In fact, they have big loopholes of their own. Although their army is very elite, the number is too small after all, and if it is outside the border and the battlefield is narrow, this is not a particularly big problem. But when it is used to compete for the world, this little force is sprinkled in, and it is impossible to take care of multiple directions. In many cases, in fact, you can only rely on the surrender of troops to fight. These surrendered troops, the status of their generals lies entirely in the army in their hands, they can fight a good battle, if it is really time to fight a tough battle, where can they be reliable? As long as you stabilize yourself, it will not be difficult to defeat them. ”
The voice listened, and said with a smile: "As an ordinary strategist, you have a good idea. But, if you think about it, will Heavenly Court make you go so smoothly? Among them, there are many places where Heavenly Court can intervene and make trouble. I think that the outer heaven world was rough back then, and the barrier of the outer heaven was not as tight as it is now. I don't know what's going on, but from a world where humanity is thriving, the soul of an ordinary person ran over. It is said that without the Outer Heaven Barrier, the soul of an ordinary person cannot cross the endless void and reach our world, at that time, many void gods and demons can often travel to and from various worlds, but only in the world where humanity has not yet arisen. The barrier of the world of humanity is strong, and it is by no means penetrating by gods and demons. Therefore, it is naturally impossible for this spirit to be brought by them. But at that time, the world was still in chaos, and no one noticed this spirit. Later, our world was on the right track, and there was even reincarnation, and this soul followed the reincarnation in the circle, I don't know how many generations he was reincarnated, in short, no one saw anything special about him. Until the end of the Western Han Dynasty, this soul was reincarnated into a rich and noble family, hehe, you also know that the reincarnation of people in the underworld is to wash away the memories of his previous life with Meng Po soup. It's just that the earliest memories of this soul came from the world of humanity, and Meng Po Tang could only suppress it, but it could not be washed away fundamentally, and as a result, he was reincarnated in a rich and noble family, and was inspired by luck, and this person actually remembered the memories of the original other world. Thinking about it, this person thinks that the rules of that world are right, and wants to change the world like that - well, do you know who the person I am talking about? ”
"It's Wang Mang." Without thinking much about it at all, Xuan Yi made such an answer. Because during that time, and even in the entire history, only this usurper Wang Mang pursued a large number of policies that seemed to be good and reasonable, but were incompatible with the habits of this world.
The voice approvingly: "You are right, it is this Wang Mang." At the beginning, until the usurpation was successful, the Emperor of Heaven did not discover his heels and intentions. If after he usurped the throne, he just quietly became a usurper like Sima Yan, or even a usurper like Zhao Kuangyin, then that's fine. But he wanted to make the whole humanity a big step forward. In this way, how can the Emperor of Heaven tolerate him? So the Emperor of Heaven moved his hands and feet a little, and took advantage of him to get that set. When it was critical, when the luck was pressed, there was a sudden flood, drought and locust plague, coupled with the diversion of the Yellow River, and then according to the situation, there were dragons and snakes in the world. Wang Mang mobilized troops to suppress it, and it was said that there were still some advantages at the beginning. It's just that the Emperor of Heaven at that time had a stronger ability to intervene in reality than now, and the result was ......"
As a result, in the battle of Kunyang, heavy fog, meteorites, and floods fell from the sky, and hundreds of thousands of people of the new army were wiped out in one fell swoop. Hehe, this is the Emperor of Heaven! Otherwise, what can you do with these 8,000 people? The voice said, "When Wang Mang was defeated, Guangwu cut off his head, pickled it with lime, and hid it in the Taimiao. Do you know what it's for? ”
Xuan Yi shook his head.
"Think about it again, for the Emperor of Heaven, what is the most dangerous thing about Wang Mang?" The voice asked again.
"Wang Mang has been suppressed, and his measures have failed, what else...... By the way, but his memories of another world? Xuan Yi asked.
"Yes, the children can be taught!" The voice said happily, "That's it, Wang Mang's memories are the most dangerous." So He had Guangwu pickle his head, and He used secret methods to seal his soul in the dead head. That way the things he remembered wouldn't leak out. In fact, Wang Mang's failure was largely due to his failure to realize that the Emperor of Heaven was his worst enemy. Hehe, that Wang Mang is also a fool, there is an article in his memory, although he doesn't remember it all, but it is very interesting, and the first sentence is very interesting. Wang Mang still remembered this sentence, but he didn't do it well. Otherwise, the Emperor of Heaven would not have dealt with him so easily. ”
"Senior, I don't know what this sentence is?" Xuan Yi couldn't help but ask.
The voice replied, "This is the saying: 'Who is our enemy?'" Who are our friends? This question is the first question of the revolution. The basic reason for the ineffectiveness of all the revolutionary struggles in the past was that it could not unite true friends in order to attack real enemies. The old man has seen the rise and fall of so many years, and has seen all kinds of successful rebellions and failures. Wang Mang, that idiot, has even learned such things, but he still makes such a mistake, it's really damned! Fortunately, even if he is the Emperor of Heaven, everything cannot go as he should. Later, Wang Mang's head was still broken, and the soul still escaped, and then he was relegated to hell and strictly guarded, but as a result, the old man still found him, hehe, what does this mean? It shows that the real providence is no longer on the side of the Emperor of Heaven! The old man took some time to get something out of him. Hehe, that's just a set of rebellion books, it's a pity that that stupid guy didn't rebel honestly, but greedy for convenience to usurp the throne, what a fool! ”
