Chapter 128: Fledgling
Regarding Yang Xuan's defeat in the army, Li Shimin once thought deeply, so he told Li Yuan his thoughts.
"Yang Xuangan's defeat is indeed too hasty."
"First, the location was not chosen properly, and the army was raised in the Central Plains, and there was no danger to rely on, and there was no fortification to defend."
"The second is insufficient preparation, tens of thousands of soldiers, not equipped with armor and ordnance."
"The third is that the soldiers are all rabble, and they have not gone through the battle formation, and they are vulnerable to the officers and soldiers."
"Fourth, Yang Xuangan does not know how to use troops, and he failed to quickly get out of the Central Plains and occupy Guanzhong."
------
Li Yuan saw that Li Shimin's analysis was all to the point, and he couldn't help but be surprised and happy in his heart. He didn't expect that Li Shimin, who was just 16 years old, would have such profound insight.
In addition to the surprise, Li Yuan couldn't help but be a little discouraged. He was extremely sad to show Li Shimin the reality in front of him,
"Compared with Yang Xuangan, our preparations are still far behind, not even as good as Yang Xuangan, now that I think about the future army, I always feel like a fool talking about a dream."
------
Li Shimin saw that his father had lost the courage to raise troops and seize the world, so he wanted to rekindle the flame of his hope. He encouraged Li Yuan with confidence,
"I don't think so, as long as we plan carefully, we will definitely find a feasible solution. I don't know if Grandpa still remembers that before his father-in-law died, he asked you to find a way to obtain military power."
Li Yuan was full of disappointment and said helplessly,
"How could I forget your father-in-law's deathbed confession? But I am now a four-rank civil official, responsible for the etiquette and sacrifices in the palace. How do I get military power?"
His next sentence blocked all the ways to obtain military power. "At the moment, Yang Guang is very suspicious, if he proposes to take charge of the army, it is estimated that his life will be lost immediately." No one dared to mention the word "military power" in front of him."
------
Guanyin saw Li Yuan's discouraged look, and thought in her heart, after she completed the "Seven Techniques of Yin Fu of the Benjing" and "Guiguzi", it still didn't really come in handy, why not take this opportunity to give it a try?
She is convinced that "The Seven Techniques of Yin Fu in the Book of Classics" and "Guiguzi" have the ability to change the heavens and the earth.
Li Yuan said that no one dared to preface the word "military power" in front of Yang Guang, and Guanyin followed Li Yuan's words and said, "Grandpa, I don't think there is anything absolutely impossible in this world. No matter how difficult it is, if you think it through, you can find a solution."
Seeing Guanyin's words, Li Yuan said in his heart, and there was another child who didn't know the height of the sky. But Guanyin is his son-in-law, and it is inconvenient for him to speak out and blame. Li Yuan had no choice but to follow Guanyin's words and ask, "Is there a good way for Ah Wan?"
------
When Li Yuan and Li Shimin were talking, Guanyin was listening and thinking, and after she had her own ideas, she suddenly interjected and said the words that seemed to be incomprehensible.
Now seeing Li Yuan asking, Guanyin was not timid or fighting, and calmly answered Li Yuan's question,
"I think it's easier and then harder to do this."
"If you want to gain military power, you must first gain Yang Guang's trust."
"After gaining Yang Guang's trust, you can find a way to get him to grant military power."
"After obtaining military power, you can openly expand your military strength in the name of suppressing thieves, and you can also train the army's combat ability."
"In the process of expanding the army, we can make all kinds of preparations for uprisings, which can be done in the name of thieves."
"When the power continues to grow and can dominate one side, the court will not be able to take him anymore, and if it is pressed, it will immediately raise troops."
------
Li Yuan originally thought that Guanyin would not have any useful insights, but after hearing her say that she wanted to gain Yang Guang's trust first, he began to listen carefully.
When Mrs. Dou was alive, she repeatedly persuaded her to gain Yang Guang's trust. Later, as she said, Li Yuan was transferred back to Beijing to take up a post.
Now that Guanyin also mentioned the words "gain trust", Li Yuan began to pay some attention to Guanyin's words. After he listened carefully to Guanyin's words, he really realized that this son-in-law, who was only a teenager, was not talking nonsense, but had insightful insights. If you want to raise troops and succeed, you really have to implement it according to what she said.
------
Li Yuan nodded in agreement as he listened, and said, "Only this is the only way."
Then he sighed, "This method is good, but it is easier said than done. Just to gain Yang Guang's trust, it takes endless effort."
Seeing that Li Yuan first agreed with her idea, and then made it difficult for her to do it, Guanyin said to Li Yuan:
"Grandpa, you are sick now, you can't think too hard, why don't you tell me and Brother Shimin about Yang Guang's situation in detail. Based on what you said, the two of us will discuss a countermeasure in the next two days. If you think it's possible, do it. If not, let's do some further research. What do you think?"
------
Li Yuan has been traveling with the car all the year round, and he doesn't know much about the current situation of Li Shimin and Guanyin, but now he is surprised to see that this pair of sons and daughters-in-law have amazing performances at a young age. For Guanyin to say that they could come up with a countermeasure, Li Yuan already believed a little.
The thought in Li Yuan's heart was that there was no other way to go anyway, so it was better to give it a try. If the two of them could really come up with a good solution, it would be the best. If not, make other plans.
He asked Guanyin, "What do you want to know about Yang Guang?"
Guanyin listed everything she wanted to know,
"What is Yang Guang's personality? What is most important to him?"
"What does he like best? What are your hobbies?"
"What is he most afraid of? What are you most worried about?"
"Who is his closest and most trusted minister?"
------
Li Yuan saw Guanyin's maid list a lot of questions, and asked her suspiciously,
"What do you know about the use of this?"
Guanyin looked at Li Yuan like an adult, and said with a smile,
"The Art of War says, know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles. Only when we understand Yang Guang clearly can we prescribe the right medicine and do what he likes, and only then can we find a way to win Yang Guang's trust."
Li Yuan secretly sighed that Guanyin was so clever and meticulous at such a young age. How did he know that Guanyin used the "flying hoop" technique in "Guiguzi"?
Li Yuan saw that the young couple was now extremely intelligent, so he placed new hopes on them, and he no longer hesitated to tell them what he knew. According to Guanyin's request, he introduced Yang Guang's situation to Li Shimin and Guanyinwen in detail.
------
Li Yuan first introduced his relationship with Yang Guang to Guanyin.
Dugu Xin, a heavy minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty, had seven daughters, Li Yuan's mother was the fourth, and Yang Guang's mother was the youngest. Queen Dugu of the Great Zhou is the eldest sister of the two of them.
Li Yuan and Yang Guang are cousins. Li Yuan is three years older than Yang Guangguang, and the two grew up together since childhood, and they had a close relationship when they were young. Therefore, Li Yuan knows Yang Guang very well.
Yang Guang has been smart and studious since he was a child, and he is talented and talented, and he is good at poetry and songs. He has the ambition of Han martial arts, respects learning and reverence, and likes to write.
After he became emperor, he devoted himself to implementing a new system, reforming the employment system, creating a method of selecting talents through the imperial examination, formulating the "Great Sui Law", and digging canals to connect the country from north to south.
When he was still the king of Jin, Yang Guang led 500,000 troops to destroy Chen Guo, and he was only twenty years old that year.
After ascending the throne, at the age of thirty-six, he annexed the Turks and conquered the Khitan; At the age of thirty-nine, he attacked Tuyuhun; At the age of forty-one, he was admitted to the Ryukyus.
------
People tend to go to two extremes.
Because Yang Guang is too good, he thinks very highly of himself, boasts of being heroic and powerful, rigid and self-serving, so happy that he can't listen to the advice of the contrary.
He has the temperament of a literati, likes extravagance and flashiness, is solemn and calm in front of people, and uninhibited in the back. He is proud and determined to enjoy the world's great rivers and mountains. He was addicted to wine, built pavilions and gardens, and the harem was filthy.
Because he has lived in wealth since he was a child, Yang Guang does not know the suffering of the people. He built a large number of buildings, wantonly conquered, wasted the people's resources, made the people's lives precarious, and caused chaos to swell all over the country.
The three conquests of Liaodong made the whole country exhausted, and no one in the Manchu civil and military officials dared to say a word of admonition.
------
What Yang Guang fears most now is thieves, rebellions and Turkic rebellions.
His greatest fear was that his ministers were not with him, full of suspicion, and the slightest suspicion would lead to death.
What he likes most is to be flattering and flattering, and to reuse everything to follow his treacherous villain.
At present, he is closest and trusts Yu Wenshu, Fan Zigai, Pei Yun and others.
Yuwenshu connived at his wanton behavior.
Fan Zigai and Pei Yun carved poison for people, fabricated charges to kill people, and made Yang Guang happy.
The most annoying thing is that Yuwen Shu is not well-intentioned, he wants to mess up the country, and then regain the lost Great Zhou world.
However, Yang Guang was willing to eat it and didn't know it.
------
After Li Yuan introduced these situations, Guanyin saw that he was sick and tired, so she asked him,
"Grandpa, are you tired?"
Li Yuan smiled slightly, "I'm a little tired, but I'm happy in my heart."
Guanyin originally wanted to ask in detail about the situation of rebellion and military affairs in various places, so she had to stop for the time being and prepare to talk about it later.
She said to Li Yuan, "Grandpa, you haven't recovered yet, and you're not feeling well, so I'll talk about this today. You should recuperate well for these two days, and then I will discuss the countermeasures with Brother Shimin, and then I will ask you to decide."
After talking for a while, Li Yuan was indeed a little tired, so he bowed his head and agreed.
After Guanyin and Li Shimin saluted Li Yuan, they left the upper room and explained to Zifu and Qingyan before leaving, so that they could wait for the lord of Lang.
------
In the next two days, Li Shimin and Guanyin didn't think about tea and dinner, and discussed behind closed doors in the room. They want to make the most of what they have learned in the books "The Seven Techniques of Yin Fu in the Book of Classics" and "Guiguzi" and use it for strategic planning related to the life and death of the Tang State Mansion.
After two days, the two of them finally came up with a set of preliminary strategies that they thought were feasible. After repeated deductions and refinements, on the morning of this day, Li Shimin and Guanyin went to the upper room to ask Li Yuan to cut it.
------
At this time, Li Shimin was not yet 16 years old, and Guanyin was not yet 14 years old.
Will it be useful for two underage children to discuss something?
Will Li Yuan use the idea of two children to decide the future fate of the Tang State Mansion?
