Chapter 14 Zhuge and Sima continued

Li De drank saliva, moistened his throat, and then said, "If you want to say Sima Yi, it is really a pair of enemies with Zhuge Liang, the two can be described as chess opponents, enemies for life, Zhuge Liang's most important two Northern Expeditions were blocked by Sima Yi's army, so that he returned in vain, and died depressed, on the other hand, Sima Yi is also a young genius, when he was young, he was not reused by Cao Cao in the early stage after being recruited by Cao Cao, not only was he not discouraged, but he hibernate and waited for an opportunity, until Cao Cao sent him to assist Cao Pi. So far, Sima Yi has repeatedly made suggestions and suggestions to help Cao Pi ascend to the throne of Wei, and then as Cao Pituo's lonely minister, he has gone through three dynasties without falling, and his son immediately usurped the Wei State after his death, established the Jin Dynasty, and pursued Sima Yi Jin Xuan Emperor. ”

Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang are both extremely popular ministers, favored for a while, but the ending is completely different, Zhuge Liang is enterprising and finally ends up depressed, Sima Yi is extremely cautious, planning for the long term, and has a good death, the two are comparable in politics, but in military affairs, Sima Yi has left Zhuge Liang far behind.

Politically, Sima Yi also advised Emperor Wei Ming on the occasion of the major repair of the palace, and after Cao Rong's death, he asked for the palace to be repaired, "carving the manpower of playthings, saving farming, so that the world is happy." ”

In terms of promoting talents, Sima Yi promoted and cultivated Deng Ai, Wang Ji, Zhou Qin and other talents from the poor family. ”

Militarily, its conquest of Liaodong, pacified Mengda, resisted the Northern Expedition of Shu, and made outstanding military achievements, the most famous of which was the two confrontations with the Shu army led by Zhuge Liang, and finally no matter how Zhuge Liang used, he was steadily resisted by Sima Yi, calculating that it was not easy to supply the Shu army, and it could not be fought for a long time, and both times the Shu army was dragged down and defeated.

There is a huge difference in the ending of the two after death, Zhuge Liang Jue has only one martial artist, it can be seen that Liu Chan is angry in his heart, guessing that when Zhuge Liang was alive, he was no different from the mascot, there was such a lonely minister, high prestige, and high status, his life as a little emperor would definitely not be very happy, otherwise Zhuge Liang would not be a villager, you must know that Zhuge Liang is the optimus jade pillar of Shu, and one person supports the existence of a country. And the Shu Kingdom also slipped quickly and was destroyed by Deng Ai.

Sima Yi's treatment in Wei was much higher, not only the old ministers of the three dynasties, but also the emperor praised Sima Yi. Cao Rong: "Sima Yi is in danger to make changes, and the capture of the abyss can be counted for days." I have Sima Yi and the two, why worry! ”

Cao Fang: "Taiwei is upright, loyal to the third, capturing Meng Da in the south, breaking Shu in the west, destroying Gongsun Yuan in the east, and covering the sea." ”

It was after Sima Yi's death that Sima Shi abolished the emperor, Huainan Biqiu Jian and Wen Qin raised troops against Sima Shi, and the text said: "Therefore, Xiang Guoyi, Kuang Fu Wei Room, loyal in all matters, so Emperor Lie Zuming gave him the task of entrustment." Yi Kill all the efforts to Ning Huaxia. It can be seen that Sima Yi's prestige is high, and he loyally assists the Wei State, and is highly recognized by the ministers and generals.

In addition, Sima Yi had been plotting for the Sima family before his death, and after overthrowing Cao Shuang, Sima Yi either killed or imprisoned to weaken the power of the Cao Wei clan, laying a solid foundation for his descendants to usurp Wei Kaijin in the future. This also shows Sima Yi's ruthlessness and long-term planning, which also shows Sima Yi's ruthlessness and far-reaching strategy, although he was loyal to Wei all his life, but after his death, his descendants immediately usurped Wei, what Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Quan fought for a lifetime, and finally cheapened his Sima family, made a wedding dress for Sima family, and the Three Kingdoms returned to Jin to dominate the world.

Li De went on to say, "Second brother, younger brother thinks, we can't blindly learn their good to avoid their bad, because no one is perfect, people have seven emotions and six desires, look at history, even saints have times when they make mistakes, Zhuge Wuhou is the only one like him, but there are more and more like Sima Yi, they are usually inconspicuous, do their best to do things lurking, can't see a little bad, once the opportunity can be taken, they will never be soft, like a coiled poisonous snake, ready to kill people with a blow, The so-called those who do not seek eternity are not enough to seek a moment; Those who do not seek the overall situation are not enough to seek a domain. Therefore, the younger brother suggested that after the second brother set up the cabinet, he actually dispersed the power of the prime minister, avoided the dictatorship of the prime minister, and restrained each other, and should also prepare to separate the civil and military families, as the so-called civil and military affairs, and the military does not interfere in politics, greatly reducing the probability of producing powerful ministers, and the military power must always be in the hands of the emperor, so that there will be no power like the Sima family, and the military power has the hidden danger of subverting the country, and then open more schools to cultivate outstanding talents in all aspects for the country, and open the imperial examination to select officials. Slowly promote the disciples of the Han Sect to avoid those families from kidnapping the court and the emperor. Weaken them until they disappear. ”

"Speaking of our royal family, whether it is Liu Chan, the queen of Shu Han, or Cao Huan, the emperor of Wei Yuan, they all have one thing in common, that is, the lord is weak and the minister is strong, the power is sideways, and the power of the royal family is not as good as the family, the biggest reason for this result is that the royal family began to covet pleasure after the founding of the country, and the emperor was extravagant and neglectful, from Liu Bei, Cao Cao, to Cao Pi, Liu Chan found that they slowly became a fool who did not eat grains, did not know the sufferings of the people, was born in the palace, and did not know the affairs of the world, and was blinded by the traitors around him. And the early death of their father made them grow longer than the hands of women, so that there is an absurdity of referring to a deer as a horse, why not eat minced meat. I am also inseparable from these royal families in the Tang Dynasty, let them know that they are a member of the country, they are the elite of the country, and they must shoulder their due responsibilities while enjoying the glory and wealth given by the people of the country, such as Cheng Qian, Li Tai, Li Ke These princes must go to the people, the army, know and understand their country, in order to make due contributions to the country in the future, give full play to their talents, second brother, you don't like your heir is a waste, just know how to eat, drink and have fun, bullying men and women rice worms, Then the country we have laid is not finally defeated by these bastards and losers. ”

Li Shimin was surprised that Li Yuanba, who had gone crazy, would also have such an opinion, which really made him feel that he was not alone, and said happily after a while, "Third child, I didn't expect you to say so much truth, it is really a matter of being impressed by the three days, what you said makes the second brother think about it carefully, it is indeed like this, so Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered to kill his favorite Mrs. Gou Yi when he was dying, and I think it was also because I was afraid that the son would be weak and the mother would be strong." ”

Li Shimin walked to the window and groaned a little and said, "You are right, we must not only take history as a mirror, but also take people as a mirror. With history as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall; With people as a mirror, you can see the gains and losses. ”

Li De pulled the corners of his mouth, he was a little overdone, and pulled out Li Shimin's sigh for "Wei Renjing" in advance, is this really good, wry smile, fortunately, I shouldn't let him be demolished by Li Shimin in the tombstone. That's a big deal.

Li De: "Second brother, that's the review of history that came here first, I actually came to ask you, how is the military preparations of the Tang Dynasty for the Turks?" You look at the news brought by Tiya, the Turks can have been preparing for expansion for a long time, in addition to the training you said, did we send a fine work to the Turks to inquire about the news? ”

Li Shimin said disdainfully, "Nonsense, do I still need you to teach you about war?" Knowing myself and knowing the other, I have always arranged for someone to explore the movements of the Turks, it seems that this time Jieli is going to move with me seriously, there is a Han man named Zhao Deyan next to him, the Turks led the troops westward this time, it must be this person's suggestion, the Turkic territory is vast, not less than my Tang Dynasty, the soldiers on the horse are soldiers, the people are on the horse, it can be said that all the people are soldiers, or the strongest cavalry, we are still very disadvantaged in this regard, before only according to the city and defended, the wall is clear, once the initiative to attack, it is easy to lose direction on the grassland, lose the fighter. ”

Li De continued, "These are not difficult things, the second brother will use the prison for me to make something, I have some ideas, it should be able to solve the problem of disorientation, and improve the saddle stirrup to increase the knight's combat effectiveness." By the way, second brother, do we have horseshoes for our horses now?"

"What's a horseshoe?"

"Just like the shoes we wear, they are nailed in the shape of a horseshoe with an iron bar to protect the horse's hooves, so that the horse's hooves can be worn out and notched."

Li Shimin said excitedly, "Third brother, what you said is true, you don't know that Datang spends countless times every year, many of them are drilled, the horse's hooves are broken, and they can no longer go to the battlefield, they can only be eliminated, if you can solve this problem, even if you have a great achievement." ”

Li De smiled and said, "You are going to make me the king of Wei, what's the use of taking credit, it's not that you have to take due responsibility when you are born as a royal family, I, the king of Tang Wei, your own brother, for the country and the people, should be the best." ”

Li Shimin: "Okay, third brother, second brother is looking at you, when the court meeting tomorrow, I will immediately make an order to correct your identity." Admiral Feng Tiance, leading an army alone, you think it's good,"

Li De was ashamed and said, "Second brother, don't give me gold, you can serve as the general of Tiance, I don't dare, you can give a general at will, you can let me go to the battlefield to fight, it doesn't matter if the soldiers are small." ”

Li Shimin said seriously, "Then how can you do it, you rely on your ability, who is your opponent, how can I be a small soldier in the Tang Dynasty, so let's do it, then the hussar general, at present, each guard has a general, and they are all old men who have been following me, in this way, I will allow you to set up another army by yourself, you are the main general, and you can also be requisitioned as a prisoner, so let's do it." ”

Li De said excitedly, "Second brother, seriously, can I really choose my own troops and train an army by myself?" ”

Li Shimin nodded seriously.

It's cool now, hussar general, recruit and train by yourself, if you follow the advanced concepts of later generations, in cooperation with the cold weapon combat experience of the Tang Dynasty, I am making some small inventions to equip this army, which can simply beat all the current armies, I am excited to think about it, I can lead thousands of troops and horses, and fight against the battlefield, it is the dream of every good man, what a man.

There are poems and clouds: the left leads the yellow, the right Qingcang, the brocade hat mink Qiu, and the thousand horses roll Pinggang.

You don't see it, the end of the Han Dynasty, the weak crown is the captive, please be long-tasseled;

You don't see, Ban Dingyuan, the peerless light cavalry urges the battle clouds!

Yellow sand wears gold armor in a hundred battles, and Loulan will never be returned if it is not broken!

Li De's blood was churning, thinking about the blood and fire on the battlefield, and said to Li Shimin, "Okay, second brother, you just depend on your brother's ability, I must train an invincible and invincible elite, and the name is Beiwei Army!" ”

Li Shimin applauded, "Carrying mountains, towering, good name, when this army becomes an army, I should personally teach chess!" ”
