Chapter 211 [Resistance]
Disillusioned with a peaceful solution, Qu Tutong decided to break through by force. Liu Wenjing is not so easy to bully, and this guy is still very yin.
Outside the Yongfeng warehouse, they had a fight, and the result was that Qu Tutong failed. Fortunately, Tongguan was still in the hands of the Sui Dynasty at that time, and Qu Tutong planned to go to Tongguan to recuperate. At this time, there was bad news that Liu Gang, the guard of Tongguan, was defeated and was taken away by Wang Changhuan from the camp in the south of Tongguan. Qu Tutong knows how yin Liu Wenjing is this time, you are trying to put me to death.
At the critical moment, Qu Tutong developed his thinking and was not stumped by this question, since you didn't let me go to Tongguan, I just had to go, so Qu Tutong set up a foothold in the northern camp of Tongguan City. The intention is obvious, you Liu Wenjing don't leave me any space, even if it's a small ant hole, I have to turn around. Of course, Liu Wenjing also saw Qu Tutong's intentions, and the action he took was not to move, so as not to change in response to all changes.
So the two of them fought here to see who could resist whom.
Li Yuan led the army, entered Guanzhong without a fierce battle, and the victory came too easily, and Li Yuan couldn't believe it. Li Yuan entered the Yongfeng warehouse and opened a warehouse to help the victims, so more and more people attached to Li Yuan.
It seems that the local people still welcome him, and there are as many people who come to him every day as if they were in the market. In fact, it's not that they like Li Yuan so much, they came to Li Yuan because Li Yuan can make (9) β Chang (9) β Feng (9) β Wen (9) β learn, β .βx.neβt They have enough to eat.
In troubled times, it is easy for ordinary people to be satisfied, if now, you give a steamed bun to ask for food. He may not be able to eat, and if anyone in power can feed the people. His approval rating can't be any worse.
In fact, Li Yuan's order to leave a part of the people to besiege Hedong City was of little value. After he entered Guanzhong, that army also entered Guanzhong, because if you want to contain Qu Tutong, you don't have to be outside Hedong City, you can do it in Yongfengcang. So Li Yuan ordered Li Jiancheng, Liu Wenjing, Wang Changhui and other troops to be stationed in Yongfengcang to guard against Qu Tutong.
Putting Liu Wenjing and Li Jiancheng here shows that Li Yuan attaches great importance to Qu Tutong, and he believes that Qu Tutong will never sit back and wait for him to attack Chang'an, and before he enters Chang'an, Qu Tutong will definitely take military action, and the subsequent development of events proves that Li Yuan is right. It was even more correct for him to let Liu Wenjing stay here, and it was in Yongfengcang that Liu Wenjing established his third credit.
No matter how powerful Qu Tutong is, he is not Liu Wenjing's opponent, because they don't belong to the same level at all.
To make an analogy, if Liu Wenjing is Han Xin, Qu Tutong is at most Zhang Han. As Li Yuan expected, when he heard that Li Yuan Group had entered Guanzhong, Qu Tutong couldn't sit still. Does he know what that means? It means that Li Yuan is getting closer and closer to breaking through Chang'an, and if Li Yuan is allowed to break through Chang'an, he will be a sinner through the ages, because Yang Guang instructed him before leaving. Let him hold Chang'an. Things have come to this point, and Qu Tutong also knows that it is difficult to change anything on his own, but there are some things that he has to do even if he knows failure.
Qu Tutong's rescue of Chang'an is one such thing. He knew that his chances of victory were slim, because Li Yuan was alone. It's good to deal with, it's difficult. Now the scales of God are clearly crooked.
God is not protecting the Sui Dynasty, he is already very disappointed in Yang Guang and intends to abandon Yang Guang. Isn't it sad to do it knowing that something will fail? Yes, Qu Tutong is sad now.
But he couldn't help but do it, and on a very dark night, he said the reason why he did it: "I have served two emperors (Yang Jian and Yang Guang), and they are not thin on me, and I cannot live up to them. So he led and ordered Yao Junsu to serve as the commander of Hedong, garrison Hedong City, and he and Sang Xianhe led the army to rescue Chang'an. β¦
In Yongfengcang, Qu Tutong met Liu Wenjing, Qu Tutong wanted to go over, Liu Wenjing didn't let him go, he must collect protection money, and the protection fee is relatively heavy, that is, surrender, surrender may also consider letting you pass, if you don't surrender, you must not pass. Qu Tutong's attitude is very resolute, that is, he must pass, Liu Wenjing's attitude is also resolute, he will not surrender, and he will not let go of the heavens.

Qu Tutong's rescue of Chang'an was such a thing, and he knew that his chances of victory were slim, because Li Yuan was alone. It's good to deal with, but the difficult thing is that now the balance of God is obviously crooked. God is not protecting the Sui Dynasty, and he is already very disappointed in Yang Guang. intends to abandon Yang Guang. β¦
Isn't it sad to do it knowing that something will fail? Yes, Qu Tutong is sad now. But he couldn't help it. On a very dim night, he explained the reason for his actions: "I have served two emperors (Yang Jian and Yang Guang). They are not thin on me, and I can't live up to them. β
So he led and ordered Yao Junsu to serve as the commander of Hedong. Garrisoned in Hedong City, he and Sang Xianhe led the army to rescue Chang'an.

Of course, Liu Wenjing also saw Qu Tutong's intentions, and the action he took was not to move, so as not to change in response to all changes. So the two of them fought here to see who could resist whom.
Before leaving, he appointed Sang Xianhe, the guard of Tongguan. For this buddy, I think he is lucky enough, he has lost battles one after another, almost wiped out twice, and now he is entrusted with a heavy task, just because Qu Tutong's men have no one to use. Qu Tutong was so lonely, he thought that he could save the building from collapse by himself, but he was wrong. Moreover, the error is outrageous.
As soon as he walked on the front foot, Sang Xianhe appeared out of the city on the back foot and surrendered to Liu Wenjing. Sang Xianhe proved with facts that he was not stupid, and there was no need to risk his life for the faint king. Liu Wenjing sent Dou Cong and Sang Xianhe to lead the light cavalry to chase Qu Tutong, and they did not stop along the way, and finally caught up with Qu Tutong in Chousang (now north of Lingbao City, Henan Province).
In such an urgent situation, Qu Tutong ordered his troops to set up and hold on. Dou Cong also came prepared, and he didn't attack when he came up, and directly used the killer weapon to give Qu Tutong a problem. This killer feature is Qu Tutong's son Qu Tushou. people, who have no parents; Father, who has no children. The love between father and son is a great love, and few people can ignore it.
Qu Tutong let us see this extremely rare scene, Dou Cong sent Qu Tushou up, and there was no other meaning, that is, to tell Qu Tutong, now Chang'an is Li Yuan's, your old man knows a little about current affairs, surrender and forget it. Who are you messing with, and it's Tang Gong. is more generous than Yang Guangfang, and you can't treat your old man badly.
But. What people didn't expect was that all of a sudden, the two-pole spirit of Qu Tutong was committed. Seeing Qu Tushou appear, the father and son didn't say a word, so they ordered the arrows to be released. The specific situation should be like this: Qu Tushou walked to the front of the two armies with a smile. Qu Tutong didn't say a word, and shouted hoarsely: "The archer releases the arrows." β
One of the soldiers asked incomprehensibly, "That's your own son, are you sure we let us release the arrows." Qu Tutong said angrily: "He is no longer my son, he and I were father and son before, and now we are enemies." ββ¦
So, Qu Tushou was frightened by this scene, and finally knew how powerful his father was. Obediently returned to the military formation. Qu Tushou is useless, Dou Cong knows that Qu Tutong is a difficult person to deal with, soft is not good, hard is not good. Those who eat soft are easy to get; Those who eat hard are also easy to get; People who don't eat soft and hard are the most difficult to get. Qu Tutong is such a person. You must know that although this kind of person does not eat salt and oil, he does not eat soft and hard. It's not without its weaknesses.
Because they are still human after all, and they also have a red heart, and they can bleed when they are cut with a knife. Their hearts are not made of stone. Although the surface is hard, the inside is very soft, and the reason why the surface is very hard. It's because there's a belief that sustains them.
Of course, different people. The beliefs are different, Qu Tutong's belief is that these soldiers under his command just listen to themselves. If it's a big deal, I'll fight, and if I can't win, I'll run away. Therefore, everything needs to be costed, and negotiation requires capital; Adhering to principles also requires capital; Qu Tutong's capital is these brothers who were born and died with him.
If there is no such capital, Dou Cong doesn't have this good mood and he is spending here? Arrest you directly, take you back if you surrender, and execute you on the spot if you don't surrender, do you really think you're a big name? Only when you have capital can you negotiate conditions, which is the rule of doing business.
There is a word used to describe people who are so tall and far away and weak in resistance to stress - strawberry people. "Strawberry" is bright on the outside and sweet on the inside, but it is easy to crush. This is used to describe some people who are very talented and capable, but because their growth process is too smooth, they have no resistance to pressure, and they will collapse when they encounter a bigger setback.
Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty is a very famous "strawberry" in history. He is very talented and has participated in national politics for a long time, but when he says that he is participating in national politics, in fact, he is just expressing some opinions and opening his mouth, and the more practical and detailed implementation work is done by others. Therefore, he felt that there was nothing difficult about national affairs. Later, he couldn't hold back when he encountered a setback, and he just wanted to escape from reality.
Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty later stayed in Jiangnan and refused to go back to the north to "clean up the old mountains and rivers", because he did not encounter any major setbacks and could not withstand failure. If his growth process is not so smooth, and he has also experienced some hardships, with his talent, he should have made a difference!
It's a pity! However, it is not necessary to say that Lao Yang has been smooth all his life. "Pretending to be B" in front of his strict father and mother for 20 years, is it easy for him to get the throne? Of course, I don't object to Yang Eryou's setbacks. However, Yang Er's "Shun" is only relative.
He was also more aggrieved when he pretended to be obedient in front of his own parents for a while, but his eldest brother was not angry, his parents spoiled him, and the courtiers were actually not very fierce against his ascension. It's just because of the "patriarchal" reason that he can't get around, and it took some time for him to take the throne. But how does Yang Er's "unsmoothness" compare with Li Er's "unsatisfactory"?
Even if Li Er has already intervened in the cultivation of history, we can still see from the existing history books that his eldest brother and younger brother are definitely several times stronger than Yang Er's eldest brother! And although Yang Er's parents have not changed Yang Er as the crown prince because of tradition, Yang Er's parents have never suppressed Yang Er! Li Er's father has suppressed Li Er.
Again, at that time, Yang Er, the prince had to sit in the capital, so Yang Er's eldest brother (the prince at that time) was not able to go out to make war exploits from beginning to end, and his prestige was much worse than Yang Er. And at that time, when his elder brother was named the crown prince, his elder brother had already made a lot of military exploits before and had a lot of prestige - even if it was still a little bit worse than Li Er.
In addition, it is also a war to unify the world. Li Er personally went to the battlefield and fought several battles before finally deciding on the throne. Yang Er is sitting in the handsome camp, as long as he gives the order, and he only needs to fight the battle of Chen Guo to completely unify the great cause!
Besides, the opponents that Li Er faced in the Central Plains and the Chen Guo that Yang Er faced during his southern expedition were too strong! In contrast, although Yang Er had a little trouble growing up, it was generally smooth sailing.
This made him feel that things in the world were very simple, and he also thought that he was very wise and wise. Thus, the tragedy of the future was quietly planted...... The government is also a transaction, but this purchase is larger. For Qu Tutong, who has the capital, Dou Cong can't think of any good way for a while, does he really want to fight again?
When he came, General Liu had already told him that if he could, he should not fight. Dou Cong has no way, it doesn't mean that Sang Xianhe has no way. This guy has chosen the role of a traitor, and he wants to play the traitor to the end. After all, he had been with Qu Tutong, and this guy still knew something about the old chief, and knew that his heart was not as strong as he had shown. also knows that although Qu Tutong is a two-pole, the soldiers under him are not two-poles. (To be continued......)
