[Zhao Pu's contribution to the Northern Song Dynasty can be divided into three stages.

The first stage is the pinnacle of Zhao Pu's life, if there is no Zhao Pu, Zhao Kuangyin's limit may be a general in the Later Zhou, helpless in the case of the gradual decline of the Later Zhou, and finally become a part of history.

It was precisely because of the Chen Qiao Mutiny planned by Zhao Pu that Zhao Kuangyin was able to embark on the route of fighting for hegemony, and every step he took after that was actually Zhao Pu's advice.

The second stage was in the early days of the establishment of the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhao Pu and Zhao Kuangyin had a conversation, so that Zhao Kuangyin solved those generals with heavy troops with a "glass of wine to release military power", and then completed the reform for Zhao Kuangyin, so that the national strength of the Northern Song Dynasty rose sharply.

In the last stage, in the subsequent unification war, Zhao Pu and Zhao Kuangyin set a policy of first the south and then the north, first the easy and then the difficult, so that the Northern Song Dynasty completed the unification of the south, so Zhao Kuangyin trusted Zhao Pu very much, and could even be said to be grateful.

But we also know that Zhao Pu is not a perfect minister, he is corrupt, violates the ban on smuggling timber, and expands the mansion, if he is under Zhu Yuanzhang instead of Zhao Kuangyin, I am afraid he will not survive two episodes.

To sum up, Zhao Pu ranks seventh among the top ten strategists in history, and he deserves his name. 】

Su Qian's words were very straightforward, and Zhao Kuangyin also seemed a little entangled, "Zhao Pu has the ability, but the character is a little worse, but Fan I have a famous appearance like Zhuge Liang who is as virtuous as martial arts, and Zhao Pu may not be able to become the prime minister." ”

Indeed, Zhao Pu is already the most powerful strategist under Zhao Kuangyin, but his ability is only first-class.

"Song Taizu didn't have a more powerful strategist at that time, Zhao Pu was very good at playing yin, but he seemed to have a smaller pattern when he did big things." Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di also disdain Zhao Pu, but there is another reason that their strategists are only stronger than Zhao Pu.

After a short break, the video quickly came to the flag,

[Hello everyone, welcome to watch this short video: Inventory of the Top Ten Strategists in Chinese History! ] 】

[Maker: Su Qian]

[The sixth of the top ten strategists in Chinese history: the division of the emperor, the veteran of the four dynasties, Li Qin! ] 】

[Li Mi, the word Changyuan, a person from the Tang Dynasty, was born in the prosperous era of Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty.

It's the best of times and it's the worst of times.

Under the leadership of Tang Xuanzong Li Longji, the Tang Dynasty flourished in national power and became the most powerful in the world at that time.

But soon, the Tang Dynasty will also fall into the abyss under the leadership of Tang Xuanzong, and finally perished after a long period of darkness.

And Li Mi, in his life, has become the most dazzling light in this darkness, brilliant and dazzling.

If Guo Ziyi is the first general in the Tang Dynasty, then Li Mi is the first strategist in the Tang Dynasty, there is no doubt about it! 】

Li Longji immediately grinned when he saw this, and said, "Guo Ziyi, Li Qin!" One martial arts and one article, now Zi Zhen's arms are complete!! ”

"How is this Li Qin compared to Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui?" Although Li Shimin has a lot of strategists, with his character of loving talent as his life, he wants to dig up powerful characters when he sees them.

In Su Dingfang's world, Li Zhi looked at the light curtain in the air, and said a little sourly: "Those old people left by my father are walking and dying, I also want some powerful characters to set the prescription, can you dig up some people for me?" ”

[There is no doubt that Li Qin is a genius.

He has been smart since he was a child, has been involved in classics and history, works in poetry and books, and often pretends to be Wang Zuozhi, and has been known as a "strange boy" since he was very young.

In the sixteenth year of Kaiyuan (728 AD), Li Mi, who was only seven years old, was summoned to Beijing by Li Longji, Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty.

When entering the palace to meet him, Li Longji was playing chess with Prime Minister Zhang Shuo, in order to investigate Li Yu's intelligence, Zhang Shuo said casually: "Fang Ruo chess game, round like chess pieces, moving like chess life, quiet like chess death." Then let Li Mi use the words "square, circle, moving, and static", and also write sentences like this.

Li Mi actually opened his mouth and said: "If Fang is righteous, if he is round, if he uses wisdom, if he moves like a material, if he is quiet, if he is proud." As soon as these words came out, they were immediately shocked.

Li Longji was overjoyed, and even gave him wealth, and specially issued an edict for his parents to cultivate well.

Moreover, at that time, the famous courtiers Zhang Jiuling, Zhang Tingqi and others also formed a friendship with Li Mi, and often affectionately called him "Little Friend", which shows how high Li Qin's talent is. 】

"How do I feel that I don't live in the same world as him?"

", you are a farmer facing the loess with your back to the sky, but you are a star in the sky and descending to earth, can it be the same?"

"What happened to the peasants? If you don't have a farmer farming, you eat a fart? ”

"There is no distinction between high and low professions, don't scold!"

"That being said, the world is not fair after all."

“.”

[Although Li Mi was appreciated by the emperor and courtiers, the strange thing is that he had no intention of pursuing a career, but loved landscapes, admired Lao Zhuang and the art of immortals, and often traveled or lived in seclusion between Songshan, Huashan and Zhongnan Mountain, so he slowly faded out of everyone's field of vision.

It wasn't until the middle of Tianbao that Li Mi suddenly wrote to Li Longji and bluntly pointed out the gains and losses of the government at that time.

Li Longji immediately recruited Li Yu into the court, granted the post of Hanlin to be edicted, and went to the East Palace to assist the crown prince Li Heng.

Li Heng respects Li Yu very much and often calls him "Mr.", but in a strict sense, Hanlin is just a literary attendant, not a real entry.

Therefore, Li Heng and Li Mi have actually always been "friends in cloth".

A few years later, Li Mi offended the traitor Yang Guozhong because of a "Sentimental Poem", and was immediately expelled from Beijing.

After that, Li Mi hid in Songshan, Henan Province and began a life of seclusion. 】

[Soon, the time came to the fourteenth year of Xuanzong Tianbao of the Tang Dynasty (755 AD), An Lushan raised troops against the Tang Dynasty. The once brilliant Tang Dynasty suddenly collapsed, and Tang Xuanzong's father and son abandoned Chang'an and fled south.

At the foot of Ma Weipo, the later Tang Suzong Li Heng and the current Tang Xuanzong Li Longji parted ways.

After Li Heng went north to Lingwu, he immediately remembered his "husband" Li Mi, and immediately sent someone to Songshan to visit, hoping that Li Mi could go out of the mountain to assist him.

After Li Mi saw the envoy, he did not hesitate, and immediately followed the envoy to Lingwu day and night. Since then, Li Mi has stayed by Li Heng's side as a cloth cloth and gave him advice. 】

[During this period, Tang Suzong Li Heng tried to grant Li Mi an official position many times, but he refused.

Later, Li Heng announced the appointment of Li Qin as the chief of the army and the marshal's mansion.

And this so-called "serving the militarism" is an official position specially tailored by Li Heng for Li Mi, which made Li Qin reluctantly appoint. 】

[The reason why Li Mi refuses to be an official is first of all because of his personality.

He has always despised the vanity and fortune of the world, especially those who do anything for power and wealth. Therefore, even if he had to go out of the mountain, Li Mi hoped that he would always maintain a detached mentality, and he would not want to be bound by fame and fortune in the world.

The more important reason is that in the later period of Li Longji's administration, the most serious problem was that "the monarch despises the title" and "people covet the noble favor".

That is to say, since the emperor indiscriminately rewarded and did not cherish the court, of course, the hundred officials only sought to flatter the emperor and win the favor of wealth and glory.

What Li Mi wanted to do was to eradicate the accumulated disadvantages of Tianbao politics, so through his own behavior, on the one hand, he set an example for the civil and military officials of the Suzong court, so that "people do not regard official positions as valuable but noble and meritorious, and do not take false fame as glory and glory"; On the other hand, the court of Li Heng of Tang Suzong cultivated a healthy atmosphere of "cherishing the reward" and "not greedy for honor and profit". 】
