He said to Qu Tutong's subordinates: "I know that your family members are in Chang'an, and Tang Gong has captured Chang'an, as long as you surrender, I will guarantee the safety of you and your family." Then he said, "Yongfeng Cang is in our hands, and you surrender and promise to let you have enough to eat." ”

Although this sentence is very short, it plays a very crucial role in Qu Tutong's soldiers, everyone knows that you Qu Tutong can kill your own son, we can't ignore our wife, children and mother.

As the male of the family, I am the heaven of the family, if I die, what will happen to my family, I want to go back and reunite with my family.

Looking at today's situation, if you continue to mix with Qu Tutong, not only Qu Tutong will have to finish playing, but he will also have to be martyred. The emperor has to hold a memorial service for him, and he can also put on the hat of a loyal minister, and his wife, children, and mother will have their own royal care.

If I die, who will remember me, no matter how you think about it, it's not appropriate to mess with Qu Tutong. The first soldier sighed to Qu Tutong and walked to the opposite side, and then a second soldier walked over and said a more classic sentence: "Whoever gives me food, I will mix with whomever I want." ”

This sentence woke up the soldiers who were watching, yes, we just want to be able to eat, no matter who is the emperor, they all think that it is not cost-effective to continue to mix with Qu Tutong.

So there was a scene that Qu Tutong didn't want to see, all the soldiers put down their martial arts ∮ in a short period of time ≌ long ∮ ≌ wind ∮ ≌ Wen ∮ ≌ learning, ▼.∷ x.ne ▼ T, left him, and turned to the enemy's camp. It's just for a meal. He didn't understand why? Don't you have integrity? Have you not been faithful?

He doesn't understand that loyalty and integrity are unattainable things for ordinary people, and they have never played mahjong together. Haven't had a drink together either, and haven't had time to get to know each other. Of course, the critical moment will not play a role.

He doesn't understand that people are different from each other. There is a difference between a general and a soldier, between a person who has read a book and a person who has not. You shouldn't judge others by your own standards, because that will only make you very tired, and others will be very uncomfortable at the same time.

He didn't understand that in such troubled times, there were only two things that were most important to ordinary people, one was to be alive, and the other was to have enough to eat. In the cold wind, Qu Tutong dismounted. Facing southeast, the weather was not very cold, but his heart seemed to be frozen.

He knew that he couldn't change this qiē, what else could he do for this ruined country? He cried, a very helpless cry, knowing that he could not do it, and the final result seemed to be doomed to failure. His heart was the surface, but now it was soft. What made this veteran of the battlefield suddenly shed muddy tears?

What is it that makes an old man's heart change from hard to weak in such a short period of time? It's the capital, and the capital is gone. No more business. The capital is gone, which means that the belief is also gone. The most fearful thing for a person is not to be defeated.

What a person fears most is that the beliefs that sustain him are destroyed. After bowing deeply to the southeast Qu Tutong, he said something like this: "Your Majesty, I don't have the strength to defend this country. My strength has dried up, and the gods of heaven and earth know my faithfulness. Just look at this sentence, don't keep looking down. will think that this is Qu Tutong's last words.

will think that after the old general said this, he promised the country with his body. Make a name for yourself. However, he proved it with practical actions. It is more valuable for a person to live than to die, and to tell thousands of latecomers that if you can live, you should not choose to die. Death is not fearful, but it is fearful that you choose to die. (Because I am afraid of life, I choose death)

After that, he did not commit suicide, and was captured by Dou Cong and sent to Chang'an, at this time Li Yuan had already occupied Chang'an and was named the king of Tang (he made the emperor feud). Li Yuan welcomed Qu Tutong's arrival and appointed Qu Tutong as the secretary of the military department (minister of national defense), the title of Jiang Guogong, and the governor of the Marshal of Qin Gong (Li Shimin's subordinate). …

The military department is just an honorary official title, and Qu Tutong really served as the governor of the Marshal of Qin Gong's mansion and became Li Shimin's subordinate, and since then Qu Tutong and Li Shimin have taken over the indissoluble bond. Qu Tutong successively followed Li Shimin, defeated Xue Renguo, bulldozed Liu Wuzhou, Ping Wang Shichong, and destroyed Dou Jiande. established a great feat, and finally became a generation of famous generals.

Famous Lingyan Pavilion twenty-four heroes. As a courtier of the Sui Dynasty, he wanted to save the building from collapse, although the result failed, this cannot be his fault, the law of history is placed there, and all the people will punish him. He also just did his duty as a courtier, and for his later surrender to the Tang Dynasty, although what he did was similar to what Wu Sangui did in the early stage, it cannot be generalized.

Wu Sangui's starting point is for personal vendetta; Qu Tutong was forced to surrender after he did his best for the country, but he couldn't change anything; The Qing Dynasty, which Wu Sangui surrendered, belonged to a foreign race at the end of the Ming Dynasty; The Li and Tang dynasties were not of a different race, and the replacement of the Sui Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty could only be regarded as the replacement of power within the Han rulers, so Qu Tutong's behavior was not a traitorous act, and the plot was much better than that of Comrade Wu Sangui. Let's compare the expressions of Comrade Wu Sangui and Comrade Qu Tutong in the later part of their respective eras.

Wu Sangui, who was named the king of Pingxi by the rulers of the Qing Dynasty, was not satisfied, and finally raised the banner of anti-Qing, and I did not criticize his anti-Qing behavior (because I think that the anti-Qing at that time was similar to the later anti-Japanese resistance, the difference is that the Manchus conquered the Han people, while Japan did not conquer China), but the resulting misery, displacement of the people, and hindering economic development cannot but be said to be his fault. Looking at Qu Tutong again, after surrendering to the Tang Dynasty, he followed Li Shimin with all his heart, and he didn't have any moths.

Moreover, he has made outstanding meritorious contributions and established indelible meritorious services for the reunification of the motherland. Even if there is no war later (because the world has been unified, there is basically no war to fight), Qu Tutong is very honest as an official, Li Shimin and Wei Zheng once talked about Qu Tutong's incorruptibility and admired it.

Therefore, Comrade Qu Tutong's nature is much more upright and honest than Comrade Wu Sangui. This is the end of this seminar on Comrade Qu Tutong and Comrade Wu Sangui, if you have any questions, you can always get in touch with the experts attending the meeting, and our views are different. You can also communicate with us at any time.

Now I write down a little comment on Qu Tutong: a person of good conduct, an upright general. An incorruptible official, who makes the right choice at a critical moment (if he commits suicide. At most, it is written in history that Qu Tutong, the general of the Sui Dynasty, committed suicide due to the defeat of Xu Guo in a certain year, and his historical status will be much lower, because he has no way to do what he did later), although he surrendered, there is no need to blame. In the early Tang Dynasty, a generation of famous generals, a generation of virtuous ministers Qu Tutong.

Meanwhile. Li Yuan was not idle, he was busy stabilizing the situation in the pass, and he still accepted the surrender, the key was to have a sense of current affairs and surrender; Some have a tendon that does not surrender; Some of those who surrender are separated from those who do not surrender, and they can't come to the division if they want to, what should I do?

What to do, it can't be difficult for Li Yuan. He ordered Li Shimin to lead his army to surrender, accept those who surrendered, and fight until he surrendered. In short, it is to first reduce the threat of Chang'an's periphery, and then capture Chang'an in one fell swoop.

Li Shimin and his entourage have a more important task. is to answer his uncle Li Shentong and his sister, who later became Princess Pingyang. Princess Pingyang, the heroine of the female middle school, is the daughter of Li Yuan. and Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin were both born to Li Yuan's wife Dou, and later married Chai Shao. When Li Yuan raised troops in Taiyuan. Chai Shao and his wife were in Chang'an, and Li Yuan wrote to them to tell them. He is about to raise an army, hoping that they can come to Taiyuan to rendezvous.

Chai Shao, who received the letter, discussed with his wife and said: "If you go with me, you will cause trouble, if you don't go with me, you will be in danger, what can I do?" Princess Pingyang said: "You are usually very neat, how can you mother-in-law and mother today, you go yours, I am a woman who is easy to hide, I will figure it out myself." ”…

Chai Shao knew that his wife was no weaker than other women, and some men were not as good as him, so he said, "Am I not worried about you? In that case, be careful yourself. ”

After Chai Shao left, Princess Pingyang returned to her villa in Juxian (present-day Huxian County, Shaanxi Province), sold all her possessions, recruited outlaws in the mountains, and organized an armed force of several hundred men to support her father's rebellion.

Not only Princess Pingyang was implicated in Li Yuan's rebellion, but also Li Yuan's cousin Li Shentong. Li Shentong, Mingshou, the word Shentong, the history books mostly use his words, and less use his name (Li Shentong was buried in Li Yuan's tomb after his death, and his tomb has now been dug up). When Li Yuan raised troops in Taiyuan, he was also in Chang'an. The officials of the Sui Dynasty wanted to arrest him, this guy was very clever, and fled into the mountains of Juxian County before the officials came, and

At that time, Li Mi and Wang Shichong fought in the Central Plains, Dou Jiande dominated Hebei, Xiao Milling raised troops in Jiangnan, Du Fuwei raised his power in Jianghuai, and Xue Ju and Li Liang were mixed in Longyou. Guanzhong has long lost its peaceful situation, although there are no bigwigs, and the underworld is everywhere. Wei Wensheng, a veteran general who assisted Yang Yu to stay in Chang'an, sent troops to encircle and suppress several times, but failed, but provoked more fierce resistance from the people. How many good people have been forced to join the triad organization?

Numerous. In those days, not everyone wanted to rebel, but the surrounding environment made it necessary to rebel. The strongest of the underworld organizations in Guanzhong was led by Sun Hua, who later surrendered to Li Yuan. There is also an underworld organization led by He Panren, a businessman in the Western Regions, with tens of thousands of people, who operate independently in Sizhuyuan. Princess Pingyang set her sights on He Panren, hoping to unite with them. So Princess Pingyang ordered the house slave Ma Sanbao to go and lobby He Panren.

If you have talent, you have to be able to use it. Princess Pingyang is a person who is very good at employing people, and Ma Sanbao is also a talent, a talent who is very suitable for diplomacy. It doesn't matter what Ma Sanbao and He Panren said, the important thing is that the matter is done, and He Panren's tens of thousands of people are now under your command. Does it seem like a myth that a team of a few hundred people will bring down a team of tens of thousands?

If so, where did this myth become a reality in Ma Sanbao. In fact, if you think about it carefully, you will find that Ma Sanbao played a very important role in this, but if there were only a few hundred people under Ma Sanbao and Princess Pingyang, He Panren would not surrender obediently. It's much more comfortable to be an old man, and He Panren still understands this truth. The reason why He Panren surrendered so happily was not because he fell in love with Princess Pingyang, let alone Ma Sanbao, but because he fell in love with Li Yuan, the person behind them.

Did you just take a fancy to Li Yuan? Neither is it. It is the strength behind Li Yuan, and the capital that they don't have. Again, doing business, talking about business, and playing politics all require capital. With capital, there is the right to speak and the right to choose. Everyone is messing with Li Yuan. It is easier to communicate, Li Shentong and He Panren teamed up to conquer Ju County.

Afterwards. Ma Sanbao went from place to place, and persuaded Li Zhongwen, Xiang Shanzhi, Qiu Shili and other underworld bosses to submit to him. Princess Binh Duong's team continues to grow. Yang Yu of Chang'an was very uneasy when he saw Princess Pingyang's power gradually growing, didn't he put a knife in my chest? It could pierce me in the heart at any moment, and in that case, I had to take the knife away. So he ordered the troops stationed in Chang'an Sui to attack Princess Pingyang.

As for the results? Let's put it this way, Yang Yu sent out a few soldiers, and he heard the news of the defeat several times. Perhaps it was not that the Sui army was weak, but that their enemy, Princess Pingyang, was too strong. By the time Li Shimin joined her, her team had grown to 70,000 (somewhat exaggerated). …

What is a heroine? This is the heroine of the female middle school. She inherited the excellent character of her mother Dou, not afraid of difficulties, not avoiding swords, strong and brave, smart and wise, and courageous, who said that women are inferior to men? Li Shimin led the army to join forces with Li Shentong, Princess Pingyang and others, and He Panren and Li Zhongwen both wrote letters expressing their allegiance to Li Yuan, and the number of troops commanded by Li Shimin further increased. The combat effectiveness has been greatly improved.

Li Shimin's army was strictly disciplined, and the soldiers did not commit any crimes against the people. In fact, this is nothing, the main thing is that as long as Li Shimin takes people to the land of Guanzhong for sightseeing. Let the people know that Tang Gong is really coming, and let the people see that Tang Gong's army is not robbing the people. And if the common people don't eat, the troops of Tang Gong will give you food.

So the common people unanimously agreed that Tang Gong's army was high. The level of education is high (the main expression is that it is not a common people, and it is not necessarily how high the culture is). It has never robbed us, it is much stronger than those government troops and underworld organizations, and it is a force that can really be relied on.

Thus, in this way, Li Yuan's troops and Li Yuan himself established a glorious and great image in the minds of the common people. In fact, in that era of warlord separation, the warlords who could live in harmony with the common people were indeed wrong.

Yang Guang's government army is definitely not, Zhu Wei is not (this buddy eats people, calling him a buddy is a clerical error), Li Mi's Wagang army is not, Wang Shichong's Zheng army is even more not, Xiao Mi's Liang army can only be regarded as (although Xiao Mo himself loves the people, his generals don't love the people so much), only Li Yuan's Tang army did it, if you find an army similar to the Tang army in this regard.

Yes, not nothing. It is Dou Jiande's Xia Jun. Although Li Shimin is sightseeing, he is not like some of the current leaders, who eat and drink at public expense, but is strict with himself, lenient with others, and wins the hearts of the people. There is no sense of privilege and privileged behavior, which is a very difficult thing for a person who can use privilege at will.

Li Shimin shared weal and woe with the soldiers, and he ate whatever the soldiers ate; Where the soldier lives, he lives; Treating himself like an ordinary warrior, this tradition was maintained for many years until he became emperor (in fact, I think he has not given up on this tradition, but has been persisting in it, but in a different way after becoming emperor). I think this is a good commander, and only such a commander will follow him with all their hearts. To put it mildly, even if such a commander goes forward knowing that he is losing the battle,

The soldiers will also be indomitable, and they will win wars that are clearly doomed. In fact, the soldier's request is very simple, it is not difficult to do at all, there are only two words of fairness. After all, the commander-in-chief and the emperor are not the same profession, although the two professions of commander and emperor can often be converted into each other. But if an emperor thinks that being an emperor is the same as being a commander, he is very wrong, and his emperor will not last long.

Houtang Zhuangzong Li Cunqiao is an excellent example. Li Shimin led people outside Daxing City, the capital of the Sui Dynasty, for a while, and fought those who were not satisfied, and those who surrendered were accepted, and the other group of men and horses advanced westward under the leadership of Liu Hongji and Yin Kaishan, adopting the same strategy as Li Shimin. The most important thing is to give the people a very good impression, and basically stabilize the situation in Guanzhong.

Every day, Sui government officials surrendered to Li Yuan. To know who is the emperor is not important to the common people, the key is to let them have their wives and children on the basis of a full meal, and most people will be content, only a few rebels will have nothing to do. Here, a person came to defect, and Li Shimin was very happy and immediately entrusted him with an important task. This person is Fang Xuanling.

Li Shimin alone cannot create the rule of Zhenguan, he has a team, and this team works hard and struggles with him. Let's call it the Zhenguan team, and Fang Xuanling is the representative of the Zhenguan team. There is also a person named Du Ruhui, you may have heard the term "Fang Mou Du Xuan", it doesn't matter if you haven't heard it, it is Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui.

Fang Xuanling is good at scheming, Du Ruhui is good at decisiveness, and the popular point is that Fang Xuanling has a lot of ideas, and Du Ruhui is a person who is quick and can make the right decision in a very short time.

Li Shimin's team building is worth learning from every future generation of rulers, and it is worth learning the road of chasing dreams from everyone who wants to figure out how to do things in the team, and before it is reached, it is not allowed to stop Li Shimin led the army to join forces with Li Shentong, Princess Pingyang and others, He Panren and Li Zhongwen both wrote letters to express their allegiance to Li Yuan, and the number of troops commanded by Li Shimin was further increased, and the combat effectiveness was greatly improved. Li Shimin's army was strictly disciplined, and the soldiers did not commit any crimes against the people. (To be continued......)
