More importantly, Liu Wenjing made a strategic plan for Li Yuan -- to take advantage of the void to attack Guanzhong, use Guanzhong as a base, and then unify the whole of China. Liu Wenjing's strategy is very theoretical, Qin Shi Huang used Guanzhong as the base to unify the world, and Liu Bang used Guanzhong as the rear to unify the world. Liu Wenjing's proposal for Li Yuan's father and son was his first great achievement, and it was his second greatest achievement to send the Turkic Shun to complete the task. Both of these feats are difficult for others to match. In the future campaign, Liu Wenjing will establish his third major achievement, but he still can't escape the tragic fate.

In the last years of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Guang acted perversely and did not know how to sympathize with the people. Relying on the country's prosperity and strength, he kept tossing, first building the eastern capital of Luoyang, then repairing the Grand Canal, patrolling the Jiangdu, and serving Siyi (to put it bluntly, it is to pretend to be wide, let the neighbors eat and drink in their own homes, and give away souvenirs before leaving, don't do it, look down on me at that time, and say a word of welcome again).

Yang Guang also felt that these were not enough to put the country on the road to destruction, and after the most %no mistakes%3, he resorted to a killer move, three expeditions to Goguryeo, God was very cooperative, and the three expeditions were defeated and returned. If people want to destroy themselves, God will not stop them, as the saying goes, if people don't save themselves, heaven will not save them. After Yang Guang's repeated folding

The other person is Pei Lian. Pei Lian, the word Xuanzhen, was a native of Sanqiu, Puzhou (now Linyixi, Shanxi). During the Great Cause period, he held various official positions in the Sui Dynasty, but they were not big, and later became the deputy supervisor of Jinyang Palace and became Li Yuan's deputy.

This person has a very good relationship with Li Yuan, he does not have as much merit as Liu Wenjing, but after Li Yuan became the emperor, he was more favored than Liu Wenjing, who had the greatest credit. said that his contribution was not as big as Liu Wenjing's. It's not that he didn't contribute, he still contributed to the uprising. He actively persuaded Li Yuan to raise troops, and he played a pivotal role in this regard. The role he played, even if Li Jiancheng was built, Li Shimin was irreplaceable.

What's even more rare is that after Li Yuan decided to raise troops, Pei Lin offered 500 palace maids and 90,000 meters (Hu is an old measuring device, square, small mouth, and the capacity is ten buckets. Later, it was changed to five buckets), 50,000 pieces of colored cloth (a piece of cloth is about 2 feet long today), and 400,000 collars for military use.

In addition to the palace maids, the people and things offered by Pei Lin are all important military supplies. It can be seen that Pei Lin put all his belongings on Li Yuan's body. We can't help but say that his vision is very unique, and Li Yuan did not disappoint him later. In the past, it was always believed that Liu Wenjing and Pei Lin were the main helpers of Li Yuan in the entrepreneurial stage, and their role in Li Yuan Group should be comparable to that of Xiao He and Zhang Liang in Liu Bang Group. Later, after reading more books, I realized that it was not the case at all.

Liu Wenjing is still a talent. Pei Lin was much inferior, just relying on the relationship with Li Yuan as an old friend, and in the early days of the uprising, he helped each other, eating and drinking. All the way to the extreme. Pei Lian's sycophancy should have reached the point of perfection, and Liu Wenjing is beyond his reach.

took Li Yuan comfortably, and he also went smoothly all the way. Even if he lost his troops and lost the battle, Li Yuan did not hold him accountable. In private. Li Yuan didn't call him by his name, only called him "Pei Lian". How can you not make a hero like Liu Wenjing jealous? That's all for later.

In the thirteenth year of the Great Cause (617), in July, Li Yuan ordered Li Yuanji to guard Taiyuan County, responsible for staying in Taiyuan (this buddy's cousin was really a shame for his father and brother), and he personally led an army of 30,000 people, swore to move troops, and marched to Guanzhong. At the same time, a document was issued, announcing the idea of respecting Yang Guang as the emperor and appointing Wang Yu as the emperor. Seeing the text, the most painful thing should be Yang Guang, because this text adheres to a principle - the principle of beating the water dog, and spraying the blood of the dog scolded by Yang Guang (decorating it as a bad person, refusing to admonish and being greedy, patrolling excessively, and being extremely martial). …

Although Li Yuan is not a professional actor, he also knows that it is not easy to appear on camera, so he has a modest attitude and learns the acting skills of powerful actors from his predecessors. Mainly Chen Sheng, Liu Bang, Xiang Yu and others. It is estimated that these are the people, and it is not suitable for you to learn Confucius as a rebel? If you are a faithful believer of Confucius, you will not be able to go to the step of rebellion.

Li Yuan walked to the Dianjiang platform, looked at his soldiers with his brilliant eyes, and then began an exciting speech, the main content of which should not be much different from that of Chen Sheng and others.

First, explain that you represent justice; second, it shows that the Sui Dynasty was evil; Third, it shows that justice can triumph over evil. Fourth, let's talk about the reward system, mainly material rewards, this thing is the most real, everyone pin their heads to the waistband and do it with you, isn't it just to get promoted and make a fortune. Then, a heart-rending voice resounded in the sky: "The army is on the march."

Li Yuan really started his entrepreneurial journey, he didn't know that the road ahead was far more difficult than he imagined, full of thorns, full of tribulations, everywhere could be traps, everywhere could be his end, no one could help him, only he could help him. From ancient times to the present, there are very few people who can successfully rebel, and he embarked on this road of no return.

Embarking on this path, there are only two choices, one is success and the other is failure, and failure means death, because whoever becomes an emperor does not want a powder keg to live. So, the only way to survive is to succeed. Either become the lord of the world, or die and die, there are only these two results, and there is nothing else, although it is cruel, but this is the reality.

We always think that rebellion is very simple when we watch TV, but in fact, it is not right, it is very wrong, every rebel has gone through a long time of thinking and preparing before acting, and once they start to act, it means that there is never time to rest, which means that anyone can become their enemy, which means that they may go to see Hades at any time.

Judging from various elements, rebellion is really not a human thing, if it is really impossible to live, who will joke with their own lives and do such a dangerous job. Chen Sheng, Zhu Yuanzhang, and Li Zicheng are like this.

Of course, there are those who are forced and those who take the initiative. There is no shortage of careerists in any era. Rebellion is Li Yuan's choice, from a certain Cheng dù point of view. Li Yuan is a careerist, and the purpose of his rebellion is definitely not for the sake of the people of the world. Although he said so.

His purpose, simply put, is to survive, to survive better; To put it bigger, it is for the sake of interests, for the sake of rights, and for the throne. Li Yuan did not expect that his heart-rending cry would mean that one of the world's greatest dynasties would be established in the ancient and mysterious land of China in the near future, and his voice heralded the beginning of this qiē. By chance, he became the founder and initial builder of this great dynasty. Rebellion was Li Yuan's original intention, but he would not have thought that what he had done would be so meaningful.

Even Li Shimin, who later created the prosperous era of Zhenguan. His starting point was not to establish a great dynasty, but to live and work in peace and contentment for the people, and the world was peaceful, to put it bluntly, to maintain his rule.

History tells us that what is intentional is not necessarily successful, and what is done unintentionally is not necessarily meaningless. When you are tired of working hard in society, when you are tired of this society, you might as well search yourself. Do I care too much about something?

Does it make sense for me to care? What did I do on purpose? What was it that I didn't intent on? Things that are intentional will gain things, things that are unintentional will also gain things, and not necessarily salvation will necessarily be less than things that are intentional. …

Don't be discouraged if something is intentional fails. Because something unintentional may bring you a bigger surprise. History is fair, and history does not forget what people in history did, whether it was good or bad. Good things will be sublimated, and bad things will be criticized. Although in those times. Qin Hui defeated Yue Fei.

But the current image of Yue Fei does not know how many times taller than Qin Hui, and Qin Hui can only kneel in front of Yue Fei with his wife and henchmen to repent of their crimes. Aoyama is fortunate to bury the bones of the faithful. White Iron Innocent Cast Minister. Qingshan is lucky, and Baitie is sad.

No matter how bumpy the road is in the future, it will not affect Li Yuan's current mood, because he is on the road of chasing his ideals. People who are on the road of chasing their ideals will abandon a lot of things, they will not care about many things, and they will take many things lightly.

Not because of how detached they are, but because they don't have the time to think about things that don't matter. People who are chasing their ideals are often more open-minded, and they have a kind of self-confidence that there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. They don't waste their current energy for the sake of the distant, unknown bumps.

People who are on the road of chasing their ideals will say when they see the mountain, Junxiu; When you see water, you will say, lively. The wise man is happy with the mountain, and the benevolent person is happy with the water, they think that they are both wise and benevolent.

People on the road of chasing ideals often do not understand, often some people speak coldly about them, and often some people disdain them. You know, it's not that these people are vicious, it's that they don't understand, they don't understand your heart, they don't understand what you do. Don't blame them, because they have been corrupted by reality, and they must have smoothed out their few edges and corners a little bit.

Their minds have frozen, and they have begun to believe that there are too many impossibilities in the world, and they don't know the meaning of the saying that the world is wonderful because of you. If you had to vote for the happiest person in the world, who would you vote for?

It is the president, the president of the country, and the senior government officials; is still a business leader and the richest man in the world; He is a philosopher, a man of letters; Or an otaku and a girl, or an old man...... If you want me to say, it's neither, but people who chase ideals, people who walk on the road of chasing ideals, they are the happiest people in the world.

Some people may disagree, at that time because you didn't have an ideal, or you didn't put your ideal into practice. Li Yuan was the happiest person in the world at that time, at least he thought so, and I thought so too.

Is there anything more meaningful in a person's life than fighting for their ideals? Yes, that is to work hard with your beloved. The stupid Li Mi Li Mi was the leader of the Wagang Army, and at that time he was the first prince of the world (at the time of Li Yuan's uprising).

At that time, Li Yuan had not yet entered Guanzhong, Wang Shichong did not control Luoyang, Dou Jiande did not dominate Hebei, and Xiao Mo did not control 400,000 armor, so Li Mi was the strongest force in the world at that time.

For Li Mi, we will talk about it in detail later, so I won't say much here. I'll just say one thing here. Because Li Mi has capital in his hands, both people and food. And the guys. I feel extremely good about myself, and others praise him again. He really thinks he's the boss.

From time to time, he still regarded himself as the leader of the alliance, and heard that Li Yuan had revolted. Li Mi thought, as the boss, I have to promote the junior (Li Yuan's uprising was later than Li Mi), let him know who the boss is, don't be confused about the inside and outside in the future.

For this purpose, Li Mi wrote a letter to Li Yuan, and the content of the letter is probably something you can guess, which is nothing more than bragging, first saying what he has done. Let's talk about how many guns I have (mainly for intimidation), and finally talk about a beautiful vision, kill Yang Guang, and win the world. …

At the end of the letter, there was also a condition, hoping that Li Yuan would lead thousands of people to Hanoi and form an alliance with him face to face Li Yuan was the first to react and smile after receiving this letter. It's really a big forest and there are stupid birds, are you scared when I Li Yuan is scared?

You also want to form an alliance with me face to face, you were a fool at the time, of course the alliance will not go. But Li Yuan, who has political acumen. Knowing that this is a great opportunity. Li Yuan said to his subordinates with a wicked smile: "Li Mi is a dumbfounder, I can use him to contain the enemies of Luoyang, and the snipe and clam are fighting." It just so happens that I am a fisherman. ”

So, Li Yuan asked Wen Daya to reply to Li Mi. Li Yuan is not as good as Li Mi, and he doesn't brag about how he is. Instead, he praised Li Mi first, wearing thousands of clothes, but not sycophants, Li Yuan understood this truth; Then he said that he was older (52 years old), and his sons were not competitive (in fact, they were very competitive), and the purpose of his army was not to oppose Sui, but to respect Sui, and when the world was calm, you would be the leader of your alliance (note that it was not the emperor), and you just had to seal me to the place of "Tang".

Li Yuan's last sentence is the most important, what he wants to express is to sue Li Mi, you don't have to worry, I don't have the capital to compete with you for the world, and I don't have that idea.

What Li Mi wanted to hear most was this sentence, so Li Mi, who received the letter, got carried away and said: "Duke Tang supports me, and it is only a matter of time before the world is pacified." Li Mi wanted to intimidate Li Yuan, but instead of scaring him, he was fooled by Li Yuan and indirectly became Li Yuan's tool (not attacking Li Yuan, but also helping Li Yuan drag down the Sui Dynasty's power in Luoyang).

In the first battle between Li Mi and Li Yuan, Li Mi obviously lost. Later facts proved that not only in politics there was no way to compare Li Mi and Li Yuan, but even in military affairs, Li Mi was only a second-rate character.

is even more second-rate in character. The second-rate military, second-rate politics, and second-rate character determine that Li Mi can only be a personal second-rate character in history. Later, Li Mi repeatedly fought with Wang Shichong in Luoyang, which made Guanzhong critical, and Luoyang did not send a single soldier to rescue Guanzhong.

I have to say that Li Mi did a great favor to Li Yuan, in today's words, Li Mi was bought by Li Yuan and helped Li Yuan count the money. Li Mi's behavior was a very good condition for Li Yuanshun to enter the military pass. Let's explore a question, the world is so big, why does Li Yuan Group have to enter the Guanzhong?

This proposal was proposed by Liu Wenjing, Li Yuan agreed, Li Shimin also agreed, and it can be said that they themselves had thought about this question, and the answer they got was the same as Liu Wenjing. So why did the three best people in the world think the same thing at that time?

In fact, not only did the three of them want to arrive, but Li Mi, as a second-rate figure in history, also realized this super-first-class idea. At that time, Yang Xuangan rebelled, and Li Mi offered Yang Xuangan a plan, the second of which was to capture Guanzhong, but because Yang Xuangan was short-sighted and stubborn, he did not adopt Li Mi's correct construction, which led to the failure of his rebellion.

At the same time, Li Mi's subordinate general Chai Xiaohe also proposed a plan to Li Mi - to attack Guanzhong and use it as a base area. But he was rejected by Li Mi, which is a non-negligible reason for Li Mi's failure.

At that time, people of insight realized this -- those who won the middle won the world. Is Guanzhong really that important? Yes. How important is it? How important it is, how important it is. First of all, Chang'an was the capital of the Sui Dynasty and had a far-reaching political influence.

Secondly, Guanzhong has always been a battleground for soldiers. The Qin State took Guanzhong as its base, swept away the six countries, and mixed the four seas; Liu Bang won Guanzhong and defeated Xiang Yu and established the Han Dynasty; Zhuge Liang repeatedly failed to capture the pass, and finally Shu was destroyed by Wei; The Sui used Guanzhong as a base to unify the whole country again.

Third, Yang Guang's activities such as the construction of the Eastern Capital (Luoyang), the construction of canals, and the three expeditions to Goguryeo that cost the people and money and destroyed production had little impact on Guanzhong, so the society was relatively stable and could be used as a base for stability. Fourth, in the face of intensifying social contradictions and the burning flames of war, Shandong, which has natural barriers such as the Yellow River, Hangu Pass, and Tongguan Pass, is vulnerable to attack. Retreat can dominate one side (e.g., Western Wei and Northern Zhou), and advance can unify the whole country (e.g., Qin and Sui), which is conducive to military operations.

Based on the above four reasons, if Li Yuan Group wants to win the world, it must first enter Guanzhong. Facts have once again proved that Liu Wenjing's construction is correct, and the goal of Li Yuan's military operation is also correct. Once the Li Yuan group entered Guanzhong, they occupied a geographical advantage. (To be continued......)
