Taiyuan! Raise your troops! Li Yuan: It's finally time for me to play, and I'm so grateful for the flowers! After thirteen years of great cause, Li Yuan, who had not been promoted for more than ten years, was finally promoted to Taiyuan Stay. Taiyuan was the third largest city in the country at that time after Jingzhao Chang'an and Luoyang, the eastern capital. Located at the northern end of the Jinzhong Basin on the Loess Plateau, it is surrounded by mountains on the east, west and north, and the south is flat and open. The north of the Fen River flows southward. It is known as "controlling the mountains and rivers, and the shoulders of the world." ”

It is an important northern frontier town in the past dynasties. , Li Yuan has this important town! Very happy! I often tell my sons: Taiyuan was Tang Yao's fief in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and now I am appointed to stay in Taiyuan, and my title is Tang, this is a chance for me to do something big! Li Yuan has been in the government department for many years, and he is very sophisticated. At this time, the world had already rebelled, Du Fuwei in Huainan, Dou Jiande in Hebei, Li Mi in Henan, Xue Ju in Ganlong (Gansu), Liang Shidu in Shuofang, Meng Haigong in Caozhou, Xu Yuanlang in Yanzhou, etc. (the list is too long).

Some of these people have hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses (Li Mi, Dou Jiande), and there are also thousands. Everyone in the world is against ...... Isn't it true that I can't keep up with the trend? So there are many people who dare to be a banner if they tear a piece of rotten cloth, and who dare to be the king and hegemon when they occupy a county seat. Li Mi naturally knew that half of the Great Sui Dynasty's body had been buried in the soil, and the immortals would be difficult to save,...,。 If you want to say that Li Yuan doesn't want to be an emperor, you can't be a fool. So he sent his eldest son Li Jiancheng and his fourth son Li Yuanji to stay in Hedong City (now Yongjinan, Shanxi) to make friends with heroes and heroes. And the second son Li Shimin is also a network talent in Taiyuan. At that time, many criminal officials and heroes who evaded military service came to Taiyuan one after another, and Li Mi secretly introduced them as subordinates. In February of the thirteenth year of the Great Cause (616), Liu Wuzhou, a native of Mayi (now Shuozhou, Shanxi), killed Wang Rengong, the Taishou, and rebelled and proclaimed himself emperor.

He also became a member of the rebel club at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and Liu Wuzhou, with the support of the Turks, led his army south, broke through Yanmen Pass, occupied Fenyang Palace, and threatened Taiyuan. So Li Yuan used the defense against the Turks and Liu Wuzhou as an excuse. Ordered conscription, and soon recruited tens of thousands. This incident aroused the suspicion of the deputy left-behind Wang Wei and Gao Junya.

Wang Wei and Gao Junya are both undercover agents placed by Yang Guang's side. Although Yang Guang and Li Yuan were cousins, Yang Guang did not believe in Li Yuan, and he sent Li Yuan to Taiyuan because there was no one in the court to use. Those who had two brushes in the court were either cut down by themselves, or put out fires elsewhere, or died in the firefighting. Yang Guang had no choice, and was fooled by Li Yuan's performance, so he handed over the important town in the north to Li Yuan. Wang Wei and Gao Junya thought about it carefully: It's not right! In the past, why didn't the Turks recruit troops, and besides, the city of Taiyuan was strong, and there were 20,000 elite soldiers in the city, and the Turks were all cavalry, and there were no large-scale siege equipment at all, and it was more difficult to break through Taiyuan than to ascend to the sky. There must be something strange about this! Could it be that Li Yuan wants to rebel? ,…,

That's right! After thinking about it, the two brothers decided to get rid of Li Yuan. When they were about to take Li Yuan to the Jin Ancestral Hall, which was twenty-eight kilometers away from Taiyuan, to pray for rain, they ordered Liu Shilong, the head of Jinyang Township, to lead his troops to ambush and kill Li Yuan. But they didn't expect that Liu Shilong would have been wearing the same pants as Li Yuan a long time ago. Liu Shilong told Li Yuan the news. Li Yuan decided to do it!

On the morning of the fifteenth. Li Mi summoned Wang Wei and Gao Junya to discuss military and political affairs. Wang Wei and Gao Junya were defenseless at all, and they came without even a bodyguard. The two had just sat down, and they hadn't had time to take a sip of tea. I saw that Sima (Director of the Political and Legal Bureau) of Kaiyang Mansion Liu Zhenghui said that there was a confidential report. Li Yuan asked Wang Wei to submit the complaint, but who knew that Liu Zheng would not give it, "It's you who sues." Li Yuan pretended to be stupid, "How can this be?" He took the form and read it out, "Wang Wei and Gao Junya conspired to lead the Turks to invade ......"

Before Li Mi finished reading, Gao Junya couldn't sit still, "This is the wicked person who sued first, and someone rebelled and wanted to kill us." After speaking, he raised his leg and wanted to walk out of the door, and Li Shimin cut off the way. Where to? Stay with you! Wang Wei and Gao Junya were tied up like this! By the next day, the Turks had come! At this time, Wang Wei and Gao Junya can't tell if they have ten mouths. …,

,…,

It was very strange that the Turks did not come early or late, but they came at this time, as if they had received an invitation and went to the banquet on time. In fact, it is very likely that this was agreed in advance between Li Yuan and the Turks, or Li Yuan ordered someone to pretend to be a Turk to show off in Taiyuan City. On July 5, Li Yuan personally led an army of 30,000 to gather at the military gate, cut down Wang Wei and Gao Junya's sacrificial flag, and solemnly swore an oath. Then, the mighty south from Taiyuan marched towards Guanzhong. The truth about whether the mastermind of the Taiyuan uprising was Li Yuan or Li Shimin was once the focus of controversy in the study of Tang history.

Although the two traditional texts such as the Book of Tang and the Zizhi Tongjian all believe that Li Shimin was the mastermind of the army, in the "Notes on the Entrepreneurship and Living of the Tang Dynasty" written by Wen Daya of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan was the mastermind of the Taiyuan army. Most historians believe that Wen Daya's record is more primitive than the two "Book of Tang", and Li Yuan should be the mastermind, while Li Shimin did some work under Li Yuan's instructions and is in a secondary position. As for the old history record that Li Shimin was the mastermind, it was because Li Shimin tampered with the history of the country. This is a passage written by a very famous historian in modern China in his essay on the truth about the Taiyuan uprising...... I'm going to use it to get there.

I once heard a lecture by a law lecturer who said: In order to find out who is behind a case, you must first determine who is most beneficial to the occurrence of the case. As long as we take this question with us to find the answer, it will be much faster. First of all, if the mastermind of the Taiyuan uprising is Li Shimin, will it be good for Li Shimin? The answer is yes. ,…,

Because Li Shimin is not the eldest son, let alone the crown prince of the Tang Empire in the future. Of course, Li Yuan did not say that he must be the eldest son to be worthy of being the emperor. So Li Shimin still has a chance. Everyone knows that Li Shimin's throne was snatched, which means that he is not the first heir to the imperial legacy. Although Li Shimin was ruthless in the process of establishment, it is important to count who has great achievements, and even Li Yuan may not be as good as Li Shimin. So why did he still rob the first merit of Taiyuan's army? His exploits are longer than the Great Wall. Why did he still steal Li Yuan's limelight? Actually, I don't know, but I know who launched the Taiyuan Rebellion and started the first robbery to establish the Tang Dynasty, then his exploits will be great, after all, the first person to eat crabs will always be remembered. Furthermore, if the mastermind of the Taiyuan army is Li Yuan, will it be beneficial to Li Yuan? The answer, of course, is yes. In fact, it is not difficult to know the mastermind of the Taiyuan uprising. As long as we know the environment and position of the authors of these four books, that is, who are these three people more inclined to?

It is possible to deduce who is the mastermind. "Old Tang Book" is the fifth generation of Liu? d, of course, Liu? d is also based on the historical materials left by the historians of the Tang Dynasty, but the historical materials of the Tang Dynasty Li Shimin have already done his tricks, so it is not first-hand information and is not credible. The main author of the New Tang Dynasty Book was Ouyang Xiu of the Song Dynasty, who lived in the 11th century, more than 400 years away from the 7th century in which Li Shimin lived. Moreover, he was also based on historical materials that have survived from later generations, so it is not entirely credible. ,…,

Similarly, Sima Guang's "Zizhi Tongjian" is the same, and it is not first-hand information. And the purpose of the three of them is almost the same: to follow the trend and help Li Shimin become popular. Because Li Shimin's glorious image has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, every dynasty after the Tang Dynasty has a large number of Li Shimin's fans.

The example of idols is endless, and in addition to leaving historical truth for future generations, history books are more important to warn and inspire future generations. And it is very necessary for the three of them to set a perfect example for the emperors of the present and future generations. Therefore, it cannot be concluded that the three history books written by the three of them are the truth of history. In the end, only Wen Daya's "Datang Entrepreneurship Living Note" remained.

Wen Daya was hired by Li Yuan to work with a high salary shortly after the Taiyuan army, and his position was to join the army in the general's office, which means that Wen Daya was very close to the time when the Taiyuan army took place, and he was in Taiyuan City at that time. It can be said that he is the closest of the four to the scene of the crime, and of course he is also the one who has the potential to grasp the truth. …,

Joining the army is equivalent to the current military staff officer, and it can directly participate in military decision-making. It can be said that Wen Daya was directly involved in many of Li Tang's military decisions, such as the strategy of "first the west and then the east". At the beginning of Li Yuan's ascension to the throne, it was secretly planned by Wen Daya, Chen Shuda, Dou Wei and others. After Li Yuan became the emperor, he was even more gracious to Wen Daya, and was named Huangmen Shilang, Huangmen Shilang is equivalent to the current Vice Premier of the State Council, and I will introduce the official positions of the Tang Dynasty in the following chapters. It can be said that Wen Daya is a sworn friend who wears the same pants as Li Yuan. Then, you may ask, Wen Daya and Li Yuan are sworn friends, of course, they are towards Li Yuan, so it is not surprising that Li Yuan gave the first credit of Taiyuan to raise troops! But the problem is that his friendship with Li Shimin is not shallow! At that time, the struggle between Li Shimin and the crown princes Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji entered a white heat. ,…,

And Wen Daya is on Li Shimin's camp...... and repeatedly gave advice to Li Shimin. Li Shimin stayed in Chang'an to contain Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji. And Li Shimin ordered Wen Daya to garrison Luoyang. Luoyang is the base camp of Qinfu Group, and it is also the rear location. Li Shimin gave this important task to Wen Daya, which shows Li Shimin's trust in Wen Daya.

Therefore, Wen Daya has a very deep friendship with Li Shimin and Li Yuan. In other words, he is the least likely to choose a side, and he is the closest to the truth of Taiyuan's army. Therefore, it is very likely that the first contribution to Taiyuan in the "Datang Entrepreneurship and Living Note" is Li Yuan. Of course, these are just speculations. Because "Datang Entrepreneurship and Living Note" is not an officially recognized official history. What is the truth about the Taiyuan uprising? Only Li Yuan, Li Shimin, and those who participated in it knew in person, but these people had been dead for hundreds of years. So no one can know the truth. But isn't that what makes history fascinating? She left countless questions for future generations to answer, spurring future generations to have the courage to pursue the truth. I believe that sooner or later the truth will come, perhaps tomorrow, perhaps hundreds of years from now.

On July 14, Li Yuanjun's army arrived at Jiahubao, which was more than 50 miles away from Huoyi (present-day Huoxian County, Shanxi). Huoyi, located at the southern end of the Bird Mouse Valley, borders the Fen River in the west, and Huoshan Mountain in the east. If Li Yuan wants to take Guanzhong, he must first go to Huoyi. At this time, the Sui Dynasty Huyalang General Song Laosheng had 20,000 elite soldiers stationed there. ,…,

July is the rainy season in northern China. It rained incessantly, and the roads were muddy, making it impossible to march, let alone fight. The grain and grass in Taiyuan have not arrived for a long time, Liu Wenjing, who was sent to the Turks, has not returned for a long time, and there are even rumors in the army that the Turks and Liu Wuzhou are going to attack Taiyuan. What to do? Li Yuan wanted to hear the opinions of his subordinates. Pei Lin advocated returning to Taiyuan. The reason is very simple, Taiyuan is a base area, and Taiyuan must be stabilized first. This proposition is supported by most people, after all, the wife and children are in Taiyuan, and the Turks are breaking the city, so what can I do
