Chapter Fifty-Nine: There Are No Variables in the North
It's a drizzle, and the distance is flickering and flickering. \. Qο½β€γcOΠ//
Zhang Xuanning stood on the deck with his hands in his hands, letting the drizzle fall on his body, the river water surged against the embankment due to the movement of the giant boat, rustling, and the sailor skillfully moved the river to keep the giant boat stable in the middle of the river.
At this time, it was already August 11 of the twelfth year of the Great Cause, and Chen Changlin stood respectfully by his side.
Back then, Zhang Xuanning obtained two masks in Yang Gong's treasure, one was basically scrapped and useless, and the other was never put on, and he wore it right now, but he was a man in his thirties, who looked like a businessman, and there was nothing special.
Since Zhang Xuanning took Yongjia County, Chen Changlin visited the lord, moved 2,000 children, and went to the water division, Gao Zhandao became the governor of the navy, and actually controlled the appointment and dismissal, logistics, and family of the navy, while Chen Changlin was appointed as the first governor of the first navy division, and held the actual command of the navy.
At this time, the fleet had already passed through Luoyang, and it was less than dozens of miles away from Chang'an.
Zhang Xuanning sighed and said: "His Majesty ordered the excavation and construction of the Grand Canal from north to south to connect the Qiantang River, the Yangtze River, the Huai River, the Yellow River, and the Haihe River. Such a huge project is conducive to thousands of generations, not to mention that part of the grain requisitioned from the south from Tianfu will be transported to Chang'an and Luoyang, which is the merit of the saints, and we can now go straight to Chang'an. β
However, the Holy Lord opened this canal, mobilized 200 laborers, and the canal was opened, and four or five out of ten people died, nearly a million, which also caused the Holy Lord to complain, and the uprisings were endless. Chen Changlin said that his family suffered a catastrophe because Sui Wu County was too shou Shen Faxing, and of course he did not have a good impression of the imperial court.
Zhang Xuan glanced at him and smiled calmly, but did not say anything more.
This trip to Chang'an, of course, was to take out the treasure of Yang Gong in one fell swoop, and at this time, Emperor Yang of Sui moved south. The number of people is in the millions, and the fleets coming and going from the north to the south are countless, attracting the attention of everyone in the world. How long will it take?
In May, the whole county of Yongjia was captured, and Miao Haichao was collected, and he waited patiently for two and a half months, because there were more military and political backbones at this time, so it took less time, and in two and a half months, the county was rectified. He also recruited 8,000 infantry and 1,000 sailors in Yongjia County.
Originally, he was a king, and he should not stay away from his base, but Yang Gong's treasure must be taken in person, and at this time, his own two counties can be so-called impregnable, and it is impossible for any big enemy to attack.
This is the best result of a strategic choice.
At this time, Lu Mingyue. Ten years of the great cause, led the rebel army of 100,000 people to Zhu'a and rose up, was attacked by the Sui general Zhang Xutuo, only 30,000 remained, and now gathered 100,000 people, Kou Chen, Rujian.
And the rebel army Wang Suba occupied Gaoyang County. Zhu Cang had hundreds of thousands, Kou Jingxiang, who was called Emperor Chu, built Changda, and occupied the counties of southern Han.
There are two most important points, first, Li Zitong called himself the King of Chu, Jianyuan and Ming Zheng, but he was in Jiangdu County, and Du Fuwei gathered the rest of the army. With ** county as a base and regrouping, what is ** county?** county is in Jiangdu County, less than 100 miles away from Jiangdu Palace, the land of Emperor Yang of Sui.
As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Xuanning dreamed that he was about to laugh, okay, so that the two tiger wolves are watching and delaying in Jiangdu, and if you Emperor Yang of Sui don't solve them, you still want to interfere with me?
In his heart, he also despised Li Zitong and Du Fuwei. It is good to have 140,000 households in Jiangdu County, but is it so easy to swallow? Now the strategic geography is wrong. There is only one way to desperately engage in a constant war of attrition with the Sui army.
This point determines that the two of them can't become a climate, consume a few years, the general trend of the world has evolved, there is no chance, if they move to other regions early, avoid the key areas of the Sui army, and do it with two talents, I am most afraid that at least one side can be divided, and there is time to consolidate and develop, but now it is useless to say anything, they have no way to retreat at all, only one thing to capture Jiangdu and then try to develop.
This is exactly what Zhang Xuanning needs, this is not even a conspiracy, but a kind of control of heaven, earth and man, just like a national player playing chess, which suddenly determines the smooth sailing of his early development.
As for people who think that there are setbacks to succeed, they may be considered crooked in daily life, but in the battle of the world, a mistake will be a catastrophe, and a setback is likely to never be able to turn over.
Take Du Fuwei as an example, Du Fuwei in this world is already a forty-year-old man, but in real history, he should be nineteen years old at this time, and the real young hero is far above Li Shimin.
After all, Li Shimin relied on the strength of the family, and he was just a pariah, self-made, since the age of sixteen, he started the army in the ninth year of the Great Cause, and became a general in the tenth year of the Great Cause, defeated the Sui general Song Hao, merged Miao Haichao, Zhao Pozhen and other rebel armies, and the force reached more than 50,000, and he was only seventeen years old at this time.
In the eleventh year of the Great Cause, Du Fuwei was only eighteen years old, occupied Liyang County, and the army had swelled to 100,000, at this time, as long as he was careful to capture Jiangdu County, it was only a matter of three years to unify the south, at that time, Emperor Yang of Sui had no time to go to Jiangdu, so he could only stay in Luoyang.
Once such a pattern is formed, Li Yuan, and even the Wagang army can not rise smoothly, and must fight to the death with the Sui army to unify the north, and Du Fuwei can calmly unify the south, sit back and watch the chaos in the north, once the time is ripe, several parties are almost consumed, and they can go north to unify the world, maybe not even twenty-four years old at this time - this is the first emperor of the ages, self-made at the age of sixteen, and unified the world at the age of twenty-four.
But what about the facts?
In the eleventh year of the Great Cause, Du Fuwei was only eighteen years old, maybe he was too young, maybe he was careless, when another rebel army, Li Zitong, also moved to Huainan to join Du Fuwei, Du Fuwei did not take strict precautions and smiled.
As a result, Li Zitong attempted to annex Du Fuwei's department and carried out a surprise attack on Du Ministry, and Du Fuwei was seriously injured. The Sui army took the opportunity to attack, and Du was defeated. Du Fuwei was fortunate to have his subordinate Ximen Junyi's wife Wang, who was brave and powerful, and carried Du Fuwei to break through. His cronies Wang Xiong was a strong man
Although after the breakthrough, Du Fuwei gathered the rest of the army to regroup with **, but at this time, it had returned to its original shape, and Emperor Yang of Sui also moved 200,000 troops to Jiangdu, so in the next few years of fighting, although there was a victory, it would not help for the overall situation, just to make a wedding dress for people. Restrained the largest Sui army at this time, and in the end, although he was recruited by Li and named King Wu, he was poisoned in February of the seventh year of Tang Wude.
It can be said that this mistake alone ruined the foundation of a generation of ancient emperors, and also ruined Du Fuwei's life, once it failed. It is difficult to climb to the sky, and after 12 years of the great cause, even if Li Shimin changes to Du Fuwei, it will be difficult to succeed.
Once he thought of this, Zhang Xuanning was extremely vigilant.
Therefore, although Chen Changlin surrendered to him in May and led 2,000 children to help in the war, Zhang Xuanning still patiently waited for the people from other places to come, and they were in the inland counties one by one. Keeping as far away from the coast as possible and arranging fields seems to be preferential treatment, why not control their families?
and then broke up and reorganized the sailors, separated the children of the Chen family, and used all kinds of means. It is to avoid this "mutation" from happening.
Therefore, it took two months to suddenly lead a thousand troops, divided into three fleets before and after, disguised as merchant ships, echoing each other, mixing in the tide of millions of people at this time, going to Chang'an, the timing can be called extremely ruthless, at this time, mixed in the vast countless fleets. Who can check it out?
Seeing that Zhang Xuanning didn't speak, Chen Changlin snorted coldly and said: "The saint issued an order last month to move to Jiangdu Palace, and to leave the affairs of King Yue, Guanglu Doctor Duan Da, Taifu Qing Yuan Wendu, Shangshu Weijin of the Ministry of Civil Affairs of the Inspection School, Huangfu Wuyi, the right Wuwei general, and Lu Chu of the Right Shilang. And the Holy One was furious, and slew him, this month. The saint drove to the water in the car and believed in Lang Wang Airen. And as a thief, he asked to return Xijing, but he was killed again, and he even killed people in his words, and the saint is afraid that he has gone crazy, right?"
"The saint is afraid of losing the south, if the saint does not go to Jiangdu at this time, then Li Zitong and Du Fuwei are afraid that they will be able to regain momentum this year, maybe they can take Jiangdu, once they take Jiangdu, with the wealth and population of Jiangdu County, and it is the core of north-south transportation, whoever occupies this place will immediately have the trend of sweeping the south. Zhang Xuanning said with emotion, seeing that Chen Changlin seemed to be unconvinced, and said: "Of course, in fact, it is better for the Holy Lord to sit in Luoyang, a city in charge of the north and south, and the Jiangdu, if Zhang Xutuo can be sent as a general, it is enough to pacify the south." β
Speaking of this, Zhang Xuanning couldn't help but be extremely ugly.
Zhang Xutuo, the so-called famous general of the Sui Dynasty at this time, in February of the seventeenth year of the emperor's reign, Zhang Xutuo accompanied the marching commander Shi Wansui to go to the Queensland Thorn History, the leader of the Qiang tribe, and won a great victory.
In the fourth year of Renshou, Emperor Yang of Sui succeeded to the throne, and Yang Liang, the governor of Bingzhou and the king of Han, felt that his safety was difficult to guarantee, so he raised troops against Emperor Yang in Jinyang. Zhang Xutuo also followed Yang Su, the head of the march of the state road, to quell the rebellion.
In March of the seventh year of the Great Cause, Wang Bo led the crowd to rise up in Changbai Mountain, reaching tens of thousands. Zhang Xutuo led the army to conscript, Wang Bo was defeated again and again, and had to flee across the Yellow River, but only 5,000 people remained.
In the ninth year of the Great Cause, Wang Bo united with more than 100,000 people from Sun Xuanya, Shi Qinyi, and Hao Xiaode to attack Zhangqiu. Zhang Xutuo sent the water army to cut off its water transportation, and led 2 steps to attack it, the righteous army was defeated, and when the scattered army collapsed to Jinliang, it was rejected by the water army. Zhang Xutuo defeated the righteous army again by land and water, and his family was overwhelmed.
In the same year, Pei Changcai, Shi Zihe and others led 2 righteous troops to attack Licheng and plundered the army. Zhang Xutuo didn't have time to gather soldiers at that time, so he personally led five cavalry to fight against the rebels. The rebels were attracted by it and led their troops to besiege it. Zhang Xutuo was besieged, with many injuries on his body, and his courage was strong. When reinforcements arrived in the city, the rebels retreated slightly. Zhang Xutuo supervised the army to fight again, defeated the righteous army, and Pei Changcai was defeated and fled.
In the tenth year of the great cause, Guo Fang of Beihai County pre-gathered 3, called himself Lu Gong, captured the county seat, and led his troops to revolt. Zhang Xutuo defeated the rebel army, beheaded tens of thousands of people, and won 3,000 baggage.
In the tenth year of the great cause, Zhang Xutuo defeated Zuo Xiaoyou, who had 100,000 troops, and Lu Mingyue, who had 100,000 troops.
At this time, whenever the magistrates fought against the rebels, they either abandoned the city and fled, or opened the door to meet them. Only Zhang Xutuo was brave and good at fighting, and at the same time he was good at caressing, so he was very popular with the army, and he was called a famous general at that time.
Such a person, if Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty really did not move in Luoyang, then Zhang Xutuo sat in Jiangdu to encircle and suppress the southern rebel army, with his talent, he could definitely suppress Li Zitong and Du Fuwei, at that time, both north and south could not move, no matter how strong the Wagang army was, it would be difficult to develop under the feet of hundreds of thousands of troops in Luoyang, and Li Valve would also not be able to occupy Chang'an.
That's the case. In the Sui Dynasty, it is still possible.
Zhang Xutuo failed to suppress the Wagang army and died, in fact, the biggest reason may be the secret calculation of the north and south gates, and a large part of it is also because Zhang Xutuo's department has been fighting in various places in the past ten years, repeatedly breaking the army, unable to get cultivation, the elite is exhausted, and the soldiers are exhausted.
Once Zhang Xutuo died. The Wagang army flourished and attacked Luoyang, but in fact, the north and south were cut off, and Emperor Yang of Sui really had no power to return to the sky, so he had to wait for death.
Thinking of this, Zhang Xuanning laughed, as Emperor Yang of Sui moved south, there was emptiness in the north, and it was at this time. A person as wise as Li Mi knows that the opportunity is rare in a hundred years, so he is determined to join the thieves and Wagang Army, right?
This is the real reason why Li Mi was ultimatum by the imperial court, fled for three years, and resolutely invested in the Wagang military land this year, and it is also the reason why he refused Zhang Xuanning's solicitation - at this time, the north is really the emperor's capital, and the future is limitless when the time comes.
A family that is one of the Eight Pillars Country, and the Duke of Pushan County. To make such a determination to join the army of thieves to start an incident can be called the ultimate in wisdom and determination.
is really a hero in the world, in contrast, Li Shimin, who relies on the accumulated strength of the family, is only talented. It's not necessarily inferior, but it's really nothing.
It cannot be said that there are countless people in the world who are better than Li Shimin, in fact, there are many people, but the struggle for hegemony in the world is the product of various factors, especially the combination of land and people, and it does not depend on the personal qualities of the lord to determine the world.
Such as he Zhang Xuanning himself
You can successfully obtain the treasure of Yang Gong. Compared with Li Shimin, it is too low and there is really no chance, but it is also extremely difficult.
If you can obtain Yang Gong's treasure, it will be completely different, within five years, there is no need to worry about Qian Mi Bingjia, although it is not as good as Li Valve's accumulation over the years, it will not be too inferior. can burst out, with the capital to dominate the world.
This is also the hole card that can make the Song valve cooperate.
The Song valve occupies Lingnan. At most, if you take Jian'an County, you can't go south, because that is the sphere of influence of the Song Valve, but you don't have to look at the Song Valve too strongly, although there are more than a dozen counties there - Nanhai, Longchuan, Yi'an, Gaoliang, Xin'an, Yongxi, Cangwu, Shi'an, Yongping, Yulin, Hepu, Zhuya, Ningyue, Jiaozhi, Jiuzhen, Rinan, Bijing, Haiyin......
But the population there is sparse, there are too many southern barbarians, the actual mobilization force of the Song valve is not strong, and the influence is not control after all, this point must be distinguished, if you really occupy these dozen counties, the south will already be the world of the Song valve.
This trip, on Chang'an, Li Valve doesn't care at all, now he is still out of reach, and the most important thing is the stone of Wuxian Temple, and the secret Cihang Jingzhai.
At this time, Cihang Jingzhai was building momentum in the north, and he did not have a direct understanding of him, and the south was a weak place in Cihang Jingzhai, so it was impossible to know him, unless Cihang Jingzhai was really a god and Buddha.
As for Shi Zhixuan, he has a shortcoming, he is not only incarnated as a holy monk of Wuxian Temple, but also incarnated in Pei Ju, or Pei Ju is his real name, after Emperor Yang of Sui ascended the throne, Pei Ju was very used and participated in government affairs. From the first year of Daye to the ninth year, he traveled back and forth between Ganzhou, Liangzhou, and Shazhou at least four times to manage the affairs of the Western Regions.
There are so many things, he must do it, so others seem to be elusive, but in fact, those who know the inside story can see his whereabouts at a glance, and this time he also took advantage of Pei Ju to go to Jiangdu with him to Chang'an to pick up the treasure - no matter what, you Pei Ju is in front of the emperor, find a reason to run away, it is not so easy, and you can't get away for a while.
Even if you withdraw, you Shi Zhixuan is not a god, it still takes time to run away, it is impossible to immortalize the seal method, it can make you a thousand miles a day, right?
In terms of small matters, even if the luck is extremely bad, and a few officials along the way want to make trouble, and thousands of people themselves are not able to solve it secretly? Isn't this kind of variable already controlled to the minimum?
Or maybe there are people on the ship who don't open their eyes and go crazy and want to go to the informant, but does this variable really exist? The people who came with him this time specially selected locals with families, whose families are all under control, and if something happens, it will be the end of the whole familyβis there really such a variable that has no logic and no reason?
That's really incredible.
The world can be very complicated, but in fact it is very simple, how complex the world is is the world's business, how complex the human world is is the world's business, this is not really important. On the gambling field, it is not about who is more complex, but who is more objective. The so-called objectivity is actually to grasp the key points of the development of things and control the variables, and the real history has already made countless proofs of this.
In this world, there is no rebellion for no reason, and there is no refuge for no reason, and the so-called variables, in the case of having mastered the biggest point and holding the throat of fate, are just idle.
In addition to being depressed for a period of time after being seized power, can there be real strategic setbacks? If he likes to "grow up with setbacks" from time to time, and he does what kind of "plum variables" he does like Du Fuwei, his bones have long been buried in a no--cleansing, rectification, movement, and all kinds of things are for? Just to stifle variables and keep everything under control.
Of course, this is because we have the foreknowledge of this world, know all the results, and have great wisdom to see history as it is, so we can manipulate history so close to the means of the gods.
As soon as Yang Gong's treasure is taken, the pattern of the south has changed greatly, and his own calculations that are close to God and Taoism will be self-defeating, but even if there is no prediction, he also has an insight into politics and the world, and he is confident that at that time, he can also compete with the heroes of the world.
"Lord, we have arrived outside Chang'an City. Chen Changlin stepped forward and said.
Eight hundred miles of Qinchuan, Guanzhong Plain, Chang'an City Xiong according to it, Jing, Wei, Di, Ba, Li, waterlogging and other waters like crystal flashing, tassels fluttering around the beads like a string of beads, forming a "eight waters around Chang'an" situation.
The Sui Dynasty built the capital in a big way, which is Chang'an.
It is really thousands of houses like a game of Go, and the 12th Street is like a vegetable field.
Their own fleet is through the Guangtong Canal, from the Weishui into the river, in terms of transportation, Luoyang or Jusheng three points. However, if the military situation is discussed, the reason why the Weihe Plain area where Chang'an is located is called Guanzhong is because there is Tongguan in the bundle, Dasanguan in the west, Wuguan in the south, and Xiaoguan in the north, which is within the four passes, so it is called Guanzhong.
Tongguan is the first of the four passes, and was built by the Qin people during the Warring States period. North of the Yellow River, just by the mountains, east and west hundred miles, open the road in the fracture of the mountain and stone cracks, "the car is not allowed to square tracks, horses can not be ridden together", there is a husband when the pass, the danger of ten thousand people can not pass, the real name is Hangu Pass, the Eastern Han Dynasty was renamed Tongguan after that.
Twin peaks towering beside the river, since ancient times Hangu a battlefield.
Occupy this place, there is no external worry, and there is a lot of fertile land to obtain food, the real emperor's capital!
Whoever can get it is indeed the dragon's eye of the world.
However, the battle in the world does not depend on geographical advantages alone.
Chang'an, I'm here again.
A smile flashed at the corner of Zhang Xuanning's mouth, and the drizzle outside the boat continued, and both sides of the river fell into a white expanse. Breathe in a few breaths of the mist of the air, overlook the misty scene of smoke and rain near and far, feel the overwhelming, falling with the wind, the boundless misty rain, and the verdant farmland on the second bank, and sigh with satisfaction.
It is really picturesque, leading countless heroes to bend their waists, the wind is like this, the rain is like it, and the people are even more so!
