Chapter 4 Strategists
"Auntie, this Shi Bufan is opening his eyes for the former Sui Dujun, and he is dissatisfied with my Tang Dynasty!" Zhang Fu said immediately.
Of course, Zhang Fu couldn't let go of this opportunity to criticize Shi Bufan, because this Shi Bufan actually looked for death by himself and created this poem in support of the conquest of Goguryeo, isn't this looking for death? Now everyone in the world is scolding the Sui Dynasty for conquering Goguryeo, but Shi Bufan actually supports the conquest of Goguryeo, which is definitely looking for his own death. Now everyone in the world is also recognized that if it were not for Emperor Yang of Sui to conquer Goguryeo, then the Sui Dynasty would not have perished. Everyone is attacking the conquest of Goguryeo, but some people still want to conquest Goguryeo, isn't this looking for death?
"Princess, this guy dares to do this, then he is hurting my Tang Dynasty!" "Yes! This must be disgruntled with my Datang Dynasty, and he actually wants me to conquer Goguryeo in Datang District, he is really a damned person! "Princess, this kind of person must have bad intentions, it is really a heinous crime, please punish the princess severely!" ……
Everyone began to show their loyalty to the eldest grandson, and then apparently hoped to scold Shi Bufan through this matter. And the eldest grandson and princess were also blue for a while, but finally asked.
"Shi Bufan, are you speaking for Emperor Yang of Sui? Do you think Emperor Yang of Sui was right to attack Goguryeo? Empress Eldest Sun asked.
Shi Bufan said with certainty: "Goguryeo should be fought and destroyed, Emperor Yang of Sui did nothing wrong!" ”
When everyone heard this, their faces were suddenly taken aback, this Shi Bufan was blatantly exonerating Emperor Yang of Sui! If Goguryeo should be fought and destroyed, then why did the Sui Dynasty perish?
"Nonsense, if Goguryeo should be fought and destroyed, then why did the Great Sui perish?" Zhang Fu asked.
Shi Bufan replied: "That's because Emperor Yang of Sui is too anxious, that's why it's like this." However, if Goguryeo is not destroyed, then my Huaxia country is in danger. If we don't destroy Goguryeo, sooner or later our China will be eaten up by them, and in the end I will face a crisis even more serious than the Wuhu Chaohua. ”
"Alarmist!" Zhang Fu scolded.
Shi Bufan asked rhetorically: "Am I alarmist?" When Goguryeo was in the Han Dynasty, where was their territory? After Cao Cao's conquest of Goguryeo, they resurrected again after the Two Jin Dynasty. Then they revived from a Hanjiang River valley again, and finally through the confrontation between the north and south of our Central Plains, they gradually spent hundreds of years encroaching on the four counties of Liaodong that originally belonged to the Han Dynasty, and finally expanded the territory to Youzhou. Then, they took advantage of the period of Emperor Wen of the former Sui Dynasty to take the opportunity to encroach on our Youzhou again, but they were defeated by Emperor Wen of Sui. ”
"For hundreds of years, they have been encroaching on my Huaxia territory, what does this mean? Whenever our Central Plains is in turmoil, they will take the opportunity to expand their power, and finally gradually encroach on our Chinese territory. Then from the Han period to the present, it has eaten away at our entire Liaodong. If we don't pay attention to him again, then sooner or later he will eat away at our Central Plains, so how can we deal with it? At that time, I am afraid that we are not going to lose the country, but ah, yo, the world! Am I officially alarmist? Therefore, how can others be allowed to snore on the side of the couch, Goguryeo will not be destroyed, and there will be no peace in my Central Plains. ”
Zhang Fu immediately said angrily: "Nonsense, a small country, where is it so terrifying? What's more, those lands are also wild places, there is no need to care about them at all, if you lose them, you will lose them! ”
"yes, yes! How can a small country threaten our big country is completely alarmist! ", complete!" ……
Everyone also doesn't believe in Shi Bufan's speculation, they think that this speculation is just alarmist, Goguryeo's current strength is far from being able to compare with the Central Plains, how can it be possible to encroach on the Central Plains? They obviously all think this is impossible, and they are very contemptuous of the small countries outside.
However, Shi Bufan can be sure that this Goguryeo is in the next big game. Whenever the Central Plains is in turmoil, they will also take the opportunity to encroach on China's land, and finally encroach on the entire Liaodong from the Han River basin step by step, but there are still many people who think that it is a poor and remote land and that it is not worth paying attention to.
"Princess Changsun, I think that Goguryeo continues to encroach on my homeland in China, if I don't pay attention to it, then I will definitely die in China, and it will definitely be over at that time. And Emperor Wen of Sui and Emperor Yang of Sui must have seen this, so they crusaded against Goguryeo. And we can't give up the conquest of Goguryeo because of the lessons of the previous dynasty. Of course, the conquest of Goguryeo also had to pay attention to ways and means, and try to avoid the mistakes of the former Sui, which then caused the foundation of our Tang Dynasty to be shaken again. However, the most important thing is that Goguryeo must be destroyed, otherwise there will be no peace in our China! As for what some people say, those places are wild places, and if they are lost, they will be lost? I have only one thing to say about this. Although my Datang territory is vast, there is not an inch of superfluity! ”
Shi Bufan didn't believe that Li Shimin couldn't see this, and Li Shimin later tried his best to attack Goguryeo, which is enough to explain the problem. Even during the reign of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, he was constantly thinking about how to destroy Goguryeo. I am afraid that it is because those real strategists also saw Goguryeo's intentions and thought that they were trying to encroach on China. Emperor Wen of Sui, Emperor Yang of Sui, Taizong of Tang, and Gaozong of Tang everyone saw this, and of course they couldn't sit idly by and watch a tiger team eyeing itself. Therefore, Goguryeo must perish, which is why several generations of emperors of the Sui and Tang dynasties in China went to conquer Goguryeo one after another. Because this Goguryeo has bad intentions, it is definitely very cunning. If he is ignored, then sooner or later the land of China will be eaten away by him.
"Princess Eldest Sun, this person has bad intentions, and he is really a great crime! Please punish the eldest grandson princess! "Yes! Princess Eldest Sun, this guy should be damned, he actually explained for Emperor Yang of Sui, a faint tyrant, isn't this rebelling against my Tang Dynasty? "Eldest grandson princess, this kind of person must not be spared!" ……
Everyone seemed to have found the object of catharsis, and then began to criticize Shi Bufan, but Shi Bufan was not nervous, because he knew that Goguryeo was indeed a big trouble. And judging from Li Shimin's later actions, he also wanted to destroy Goguryeo, which is a national strategic issue. No matter who sits on that throne, whether it is Yang Jian, Yang Guang, or Li Shimin and Li Zhi, it is mostly to destroy Goguryeo. There is no way to choose this, and whoever really sits on the throne will be like this. As long as the brain does not enter the water, then this great cause of destroying Goguryeo will continue forever.
"Alright, you're all gone!" The eldest grandson said.
Everyone dispersed quickly, but that Zhang Fu looked proud, obviously he thought that Shi Bufan was looking for death this time, and actually explained it to the former Emperor Yang of Sui and Sui. Now anyone is scolding Emperor Yang of Sui for making a mistake in his three expeditions to Goguryeo, and even one of Emperor Yang of Sui's crimes, so he thinks that Shi Bufan is dead, absolutely dead. However, Shi Bufan left very calmly, without any nervousness, obviously he knew that he should really be able to enter this Li Shimin's eyes next.
The eldest grandson princess took this extraordinary poem of "The First Peak of Immediately Taibai" and showed it to Li Shimin, who was very surprised.
"How dare anyone write that?" Li Shimin asked.
And the eldest grandson Wuji next to him saw this verse, and immediately asked: "Princess, what is going on with this?" ”
"Today is like this......" Princess Eldest Sun said what happened today.
After Li Shimin heard this, he suddenly laughed and said: "Okay, good, I really didn't expect that there would be such a talent!" To be able to see this, it is definitely a great talent! ”
The eldest grandson Wuji also nodded and said; "King Qin, there are people who can still see the threat of this Goguryeo, that is really a great talent. Everyone in the world is scolding the three expeditions to Goguryeo, but who knows that Goguryeo is the country that I must conquer? Goguryeo really can't stay! ”
"Shimin, big brother, why do you all think so? Is this Shi Bufan right? Princess Eldest Sun asked.
Li Shimin nodded and said, "He's right, because even if I, the Tang Dynasty, have to conquer Goguryeo again one day." As long as Goguryeo is not extinguished for a day, then I, Datang, will not stop this plan. ”
"Shimin, my Tang Dynasty still wants to conquer Goguryeo?" The eldest princess was very anxious in her heart, because the Sui Dynasty's three expeditions to Goguryeo had already broken the country, and now Li Shimin still wanted to conquer Goguryeo, so it was really fatal.
The eldest grandson Wuji immediately reassured: "Sister, King Qin doesn't mean to be as crazy as Emperor Sui, and King Qin will be ready." However, this Goguryeo must be destroyed. Because as Shi Bufan said, Goguryeo is a big problem for my Central Plains, and I must not stay. Once they stay, they will gradually encroach on the territory of my Datang, and in the end, they may also eat up our Central Plains. Therefore, this Goguryeo has a lot of ambitions, and they must not be kept. ”
The eldest grandson, the princess, saw that her husband and brother also said the same, and immediately realized that this Shi Bufan was really different. Other people only saw the suffering brought to the people by Emperor Yang of Sui's conquest of Goguryeo, and even completely denied the correctness of the conquest of Goguryeo. And they only saw the consequences of suffering, but they did not notice that this Goguryeo also had to perish. If Goguryeo is not destroyed, it is equivalent to a sword hanging on the top of the Central Plains, which may fall at any time.
However, the vast majority of people only saw the consequences of the conquest of Goguryeo, and then completely denied the correctness of the conquest of Goguryeo, so this is not possible. However, Shi Bufan saw the correctness of this conquest of Goguryeo, which surprised Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji.
"To have such a big picture, that's really extraordinary!" Li Shimin said.
The eldest grandson Wuji next to him also said: "Yes, there are not many people who can have this kind of vision!" If you don't sit in the position of ruling a country, then it is difficult to see this situation. But he, an ordinary scholar, has also seen the general trend of the world, which is really surprising. His strategic situation, that's too high. It is not uncommon to stand tall to see far. But if you stand low, but you can see far, you are definitely a very good talent. ”
"He can see that, and that's definitely a great person. He was not deceived by the appearance of the former Sui Dynasty's three expeditions to Goguryeo and its demise, but really saw the threat of Goguryeo, and saw that Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty's conquest of Goguryeo was inevitable, even if there was a change of emperor, he would do so. So he has such a high vision, he is a good talent, and with a little carving, he is definitely a talent of a country! Li Shimin also said.
However, as soon as Li Shimin changed his words, he immediately said: "However, I feel very interesting about his words." Although my Datang territory is vast, there is not an inch of superfluity. Some people think that it is a wild land, but it is also the territory left by my Chinese ancestors, and it is an insult to lose it. At that time, even the Huns knew that land was the foundation of the country, and then went to war against Donghu because of this. Maudun was able to allow the Donghu people to ask for his good horses and his clan, but he would never allow them to take the land. These guys, the lost land of their ancestors did not think about how to recover it, and even expanded the territory, and actually thought that it was a barbaric land and could be discarded at will, which is really unreasonable! This is an extraordinary time, and the words are very much to my liking. ”
"Not only is he very discerning, but he has a very good temperament with me, and I want to meet him! I really didn't expect that there was such a great talent this time, which is really rare! I'm afraid that the future will also be a Fang Xuanling! ”
Obviously, this Li Shimin regarded Shi Bufan as a strategist with a high vision. There weren't many strategists in ancient China, and they were all famous people in history. There are very few people who can have such a big picture and see the threat of Goguryeo in this era! Many people just saw that the Three Expeditions to Goguryeo brought about the fall of the Sui Dynasty, and even many later generations were wrong to make the Three Expeditions to Goguryeo. However, it is not possible to look at it dialectically, if it is really divided into two, Yang Guang's purpose of conquering Goguryeo is not wrong, but the method is wrong. Yang Guang was wrong with the method, not the end strategy. A mediocre genius just saw that Yang Guang's method was wrong, so he even denied the purpose. But a real clever strategist saw that the three expeditions to Goguryeo had his inevitability, so the purpose was not wrong. Li Shimin also felt very rare for Shi Bufan to see this, and he was definitely a strategist.
The eldest princess thought for a while and asked, "Shimin, do you want the concubine to inform him and let him come to see you?" ”
Li Shimin thought for a while, and then said, "Forget it, don't see him first!" The so-called jade is not cut, and I want to see if he really has such a vision, not to be confused by superficial things, I want to test him. ”
"Shimin, what are you going to do?" The eldest grandson asked.
"Let him go to the Xiuwen Museum!" Li Shimin said.
