With Li's military talent, as long as his political talent is half that of Chai Rong, it is possible to accomplish the great cause of reunification. After all, the unified situation at that time was still relatively clear. The world is very good, Li accounted for at least seven points, leaving only five or six small separatist forces with poor strength. If Li Neng "attacks fools with the weak", the world will be unified in a few years. If this is the case, then we can't find the heroic deeds of a generation of saints Chai Rong, and Zhao Kuangyin, who was forced to be emperor by his subordinates, will end up unknown in history. At most, we can find the name "Zhao Kuangyin in our time" from a lot of old documents, but history cannot be assumed.
Before Cao Cao became famous, he met the famous Xu Zijiang. Xu Zijiang thinks that Cao Cao is a "minister who can rule the world and a traitor in troubled times". Like Cao Cao, Li also met a "Bole", who is the aforementioned person. On one occasion, Li went to play with his father Li Keyong. When he saw Li, he was surprised and said, "This little guy looks different!" " It is said that the owner of the trademark "Li Yazi" is Tang Zhaozong. Zhaozong said that "this son can be like his father", so the world called Li Yazi.
Li Keyong and his old rival Zhu have been fighting for decades, but they don't know the outcome. They died with regret. Li zai succeeded to the throne of Jin at the age of 24. Not long after Li just succeeded to the throne, he was afraid of public opinion and offered to give up the position of King Jin to his uncle Li. Li is not stupid. Knowing that my nephew asked him to cooperate in a play, he naturally acted like a true story and "declined" Li's "kindness".
But before Li rewarded his uncle's good acting skills, Li tore down the curtain of Montessori, his talkative wife, and actually wanted to "pretend" to give Li's head as a gift to Zhu Wen, and then became the king of Jin himself, willing to be a courtier of the Liang Dynasty. With the help of eunuch Zhang, Li won Li in one fell swoop, and a chaos broke out.
Speaking of this eunuch, Zhang, that's a legend. He worked in the Tang Palace, followed by Li Keyong, and often made some correct suggestions. Li Keyong never treated him as a eunuch, and Li respected him. What we are asking is the integration of major issues and minor issues, which shows Zhang's position in Jinyang.
Soon after, although Li Jianguo also won major battles such as the Battle of Sangonggang and the Battle of White Elephant, his prestige was not enough to win the people's hopes. We must destroy a powerful enemy to establish our prestige. After all, the money my father laid will always be eaten up. It is better to eat your own comfort than to eat other people's food. Li Keyong left him three arrows before he died, one of which was directed at Liu Shouguang in Youzhou. Compared with Zhu Wen, Liu Shouguang is weak, and Liu Shouguang is "two thousand miles away, three hundred thousand armour". If you can win Youzhou, you can not only gain prestige, but also expand the strategic periphery.
The idea has been decided. Li spent two years in Liang Ganhua (AD 9 12), which is called God bless ten years. Since then, in order to facilitate contact, Zhou Dewei was sent to the East (now Laiyuan, Hebei Province) by the flying fox, and Wang Rong and Chu Wang went straight out of Qigou to crusade against Liu Shouguang.
Liu Shouguang claimed to be the Great Yan Emperor a year ago (far from the real Great Yan Emperor Mu Rongchui). According to common sense, when the son is emperor, Lao Tzu should be the emperor's father, such as Liu Taigong, Liu Bang's father. But when Liu Shouguang became emperor, his father Liu Rengong was still his prisoner. Liu Shouguang heard that Hedong Army was coming to attack, and knew that he was afraid, so he sent his troops to resist. But I didn't expect the Hedong army to be really fierce. Soon, I packed the surrounding counties and gave them to Li, leaving only a lonely city in Youzhou, which made Liu Shouguang addicted to "seeking defeat in solitude".
Liu Shouguang was busy asking for help, but at this time, the "girder emperor" was Zhu. He was busy "stabilizing the situation" and didn't have time to talk to Liu Shouguang, so he was naturally stuck in the sea. Liu Shouguang asked the Khitan Lord Lu Ye Bao Ji again, but Bao Ji also ignored him. Liu Shouguang saw that the tide was gone and had no choice but to surrender to Zhou Dewei, but he made a condition: "I will personally surrender to the king of Jin." Li also didn't want to leave Zhou Dewei with the first achievement of killing Yan. This is a good opportunity for him to establish his prestige. How could he give it to Zhou Dewei for nothing? Li Liuzhang guarded Jinyang, and took several generals to personally expedition to Youzhou.
At this time, although Li Neng played a military commander, it was not less, but Li was still distressed that his opponent was missing a Li Cunxiao. At this time, Li Cunxiao had died 18 years. Speaking of Li Cunxiao, his fame in the Five Dynasties is really shocking. Li Cunxiao is the "first hero of the Five Dynasties" in The Romance of unofficial history, and his position is comparable to that of Li Yuanba (a fictional hero), the first hero of Sui and Tang Dynasties. Li Cunxiao, whose real name is An Jingsi, is the adopted son of Li Keyong, ranking 13th. Jianghu people call him "Thirteen Pacific Insurance".
Li Cunxiao really lives up to its reputation, and is also a minor celebrity in the Jianghu. Speaking of "Thirteen Pacific Insurance", who doesn't respect Jianghu people? Li Cunxiao is good at making a big horse, often in a crowd of ten thousand people, a single horse can win the general's head. At that time, everyone regarded Li Cunxiao as Zhang Liao (Zhang Liao need not be introduced). Li Cunxiao made a great contribution to Li Keyong, and was the top military star in Hedong at that time. But Li Cunxiao was narrow-minded and rampaging, and Li Keyong was very unhappy about it.
When Li Cunxiao and Li Cun Xinhe, the capital of Van Hanma, attacked the town king Rong, they fought for each other's merits, and Li Cunxiao was taken to court by Li Cunxin. Li Cunxiao was furious and simply begged Wang Rong to surrender. Li Keyong saw his adopted son falling out, and there was nothing to say. He led the army to find Li Cunxiao. Li Cunxiao has been in Xingzhou for half a year, but he can't keep it. In March of the first year of Tang Zhaozong Ganning (AD 894), Li Cunxiao confessed to Li Keyong, hoping to forgive his sins. Li Keyong didn't treat Li Cunxiao as a treasure at this moment, but tricked Li Cunxiao into Jinyang, dismembered him and ended the hero.
Although Li misses Li Cunxiao infinitely, Li Cunxiao is already a skeleton. What's the use of thinking? Besides, to deal with idiots like Liu Shouguang and Zhu, Li, Li Siyuan and others are enough.
Li came to Youzhou and Liu Shouguang to practice his tricks. Li is very brave. He walked to the gate alone and shouted at Liu Shouguang, who was in a daze in the city: "You asked me to come, so I came. What do you have to say now? " Liu Shouguang expressed his willingness to surrender. In order to gain Liu Shouguang's trust, Li turned it into an arrow alliance and promised him not to die. Liu Shouguang is also a prick, saying that he would wait a few days before surrendering.
Lee knows that Liu Shouguang is playing him, but it's not bad. He ordered the siege. Hedong army was full of energy and vitality, and soon entered Youzhou. Liu Shouguang opened the door to escape, but was quickly caught by Hedong Army. Li and his father took Liu Shouguang back to Jinyang.
The elimination of Liu Shouguang Group not only brought quantitative change to Li, but also brought qualitative change. From then on, the situation in Jin (Yang Liang) began to reverse, and Hedong occupied the strategic initiative, from defense to attack. At this time, Jinliang began a period of strategic stalemate and launched a fierce tug-of-war.
When Liu Shouguang was ready to live a rich life in Jinyang, he found his ideas too naive. As soon as Li Xucun said that he would turn his face, he quickly ordered Liu Shouguang to be beheaded. Liu Shouguang also cried before he died. "Kim, I can ride a horse to fight. The world is in the air. Let me live and work for the king! . However, Liu Shouguang's wife was very frank and spat at Liu Shouguang: "You loser, water under the bridge. It's better to be alive than dead. Give me pleasure! " ! (Don't say there are no husbands among women, hehe) "I saw a flash of knife light and my head fell to the ground. Li took Liu Rengong to Li Keyong Lingqian and took Liu's head as a tribute to show his respect for Li Keyong. Because Li's opponent changed from Zhu Wen, an old scoundrel, to Zhu Youzhen, who couldn't figure out all the details at the moment, in order to know how important his pulse was for Zhu Youzhen, Li Yugan led an army to meet him in July in the fourth year (AD 9 14), and the allied forces took the punishment state in the south (now Xingtai, Hebei). Emperor Yang, the Second Emperor of Liang Dynasty, went to the rescue. Before the war between the two armies, the Hedong Army suddenly rioted, and some foot soldiers surrendered to Liang Jun. After all, Li Jian was not Liu Shouguang, but Yang was the fox, so he might not be able to get anything cheap and ordered to withdraw.
Unfortunately, Yang was old and ill at this time, and died in March of the first year (AD 9 15), so Zhu Youzhen buried him deeply. In view of Wei Bojun's special position in Liang-Jin hegemony, Zhu Youzhen was worried that Wei Bojun was too powerful and always a threat to himself. Yang Hou Shi was unfaithful before he died. Zhu Youzhen listened to Zhao Yan, son of Zhao Gui and son-in-law of Zhu Wen, and divided Weber into two towns. The other three states, namely Xiangzhou (now Anyang, Henan), were placed under Zhao Dejun, so as to better control Weber and keep the capital against Hedong Army. At the same time, I Pinglu Ambassador He was appointed as my ambassador to Weibo, and Herry Liu led 60,000 troops to Duzhen, Weibo.
Zhu You's real idea is not bad, but it is seriously divorced from reality and is purely an armchair strategist. First of all, Weber was the first important town in the Liang Dynasty. On the contrary, it weakened Weber's comparative advantage over Hedong, just like hitting people with one fist instead of five fingers. The effect can be imagined.
The imperial edict to divide the town came, but I didn't expect to meet with serious resistance. After Weber's soldiers became a big military town since the rebellion, they had many relatives and friends. They had formed a huge network of contacts and were unwilling to divide the town. As a result, Wei Bojun mutinied, the city was in chaos and the people suffered heavy casualties. Weber's soldiers put He Dehua under house arrest, and the leader of the mutinous soldiers was Zhang Yan. He tried to persuade the emperor Zhu Youzhen to withdraw his authorization and restore Weber's original organizational system, but Zhu Youzhen disagreed. Zhang Qian thought Zhu Youzhen was incompetent, so he forced He to surrender to Hedong.
Li thought Yang was a big obstacle to destroy the beam, but he didn't expect Yang to die. To Li's delight, something terrible happened to Wei Bojun and he surrendered to Hedong. Opportunity knocks but once. How could Li Can Xu Cun miss this opportunity? Li personally led an army to collect it. Zhang Yan, who stole the limelight, visited Li. However, Li, a newcomer, failed in Weizhou. He simply betrayed his personal feelings, beheaded Zhang Yan on the grounds that Zhang Yan killed innocent people, and ordered those who plundered the people to kill without forgiveness. Sure enough, people in Weibo were deeply moved by Li's strict management of the army and his love for the people, and most people were convinced. Li's move is very clever, and the newly conquered places often can't abuse violent deterrence and implement appeasement policies, which will affect the people. This is called a soldier who defeats others without fighting, and the people's hearts cannot be deceived!
Liu Zhi entered Wei and came to meet him. Herry Liu set an ambush near Huanshui outside the city to lure Li. Sure enough, Li ventured and was surrounded by five thousand ambushes in Herry Liu. Li almost became a prisoner of Herry Liu, and he tried his best to escape from Liang Jun. He met reinforcements and ran away.
When Herry Liu saw that the elites of Hedong were mostly concentrated in Weizhou, Jinyang was bound to be empty, so Herry Liu wanted to give Li a "desperate plan" to attack Jinyang. In order to fool Li, Herry Liu thought of a clever plan. He put the flag on the scarecrow and carried the scarecrow back and forth in the city with a donkey. Li was cheated for two days and felt something was wrong. Why are there no fireworks in the city? Li Da lost his temper and went to town to find the cook who was in charge of feeding the donkey. He asked, "Where is Herry Liu?" The cooks said that Herry Liu had led an army to attack Jinyang.
Liu Zhi's luck is not very good. He is catching up with rainy days and muddy mountain roads. When Liang Jun rolled and crawled to Leping (now Xiyang, Shanxi), he found that he had run out of food and grass, and one-fifth of his non-combat staff were reduced. Herry Liu heard that Li's rear team was catching up, thinking that the sneak attack plan had failed, so he had to come back and be stationed in Xincheng (now Shenxian). Hedong army also arrived later, and the two armies confronted each other and fought dozens of times, but Hedong army didn't take much advantage.
Herry Liu was a famous soldier in Liang Dynasty. Zhu Wen, who assisted him before, was also a good general, but now the emperor Zhu Youzhen basically doesn't know anything about military affairs, and sometimes he just commands blindly. This time Wei Boda's chaos was the result of his blind command. Zhu Youzhen was impatient when he saw that Herry Liu's work was futile. Ask Herry Liu how to break the enemy. Herry Liu's most important strategy now is how to prepare food. "Without food, it is impossible to form an army." When he saw the emperor ask him, he replied, "There is nothing I can do now. I just need your majesty to give each soldier ten tons of food. When I'm full, I can lead the army to break the thief. "
Zhu Youzhen is such a bookworm that he asked, "Do you want so much food for the war or to fill your stomach?" No wonder Zhu Wen once said that none of his sons can compare with Li. This sentence can show how stupid Zhu Youzhen is. Logistics supply is an important part of war, and the relationship between fighting and logistics is not separated. Even fighter planes can still lie on the ground without oil to drink, let alone people.
Seeing that the emperor was so confused, Herry Liu had to find a way to lead an army to attack the town and solve it, and was ready to "borrow food" from King Wang Rong. Hedong Army pursued Liang Jun halfway, and Liang Jun was unfavorable, and Liu Zhi received a retreat.
In the second year (AD 9 16), Li didn't want to go on like this, looking for an opportunity to prepare for a decisive battle with Liang Jun. Li lied that he had returned to Jinyang, and Herry Liu had always had a headache for Li's military ability. When he heard that Li had left, he was overjoyed and led an army to attack Hedong Army. When the two armies were fighting fiercely, Herry Liu suddenly saw Li, the king of Jin, commanding the battle, and was surprised: "Isn't this Li?" Liu Zhiyu recovered the Hedong Army, attacked Liang Jun in a big way, and Liang Jun was defeated, killing more than 70,000 people.
As Herry Liu and Hedong soldiers confronted each other, Wang Tan, the state minister of the Liang Dynasty, asked Zhu Youzhen to allow Guan to attack Jinyang in order to alleviate the unfavorable situation. Zhu Youzhen agreed, and mobilized the 30,000 Guanzhong army led by Wang Frank to cross the Yellow River to attack Jinyang. Jinyang has been guarding against Liang Jun on the eastern front, but he didn't expect Liang Jun on the western front to sneak attack. Due to lack of preparation, Liang Jun attacked the city crazily. Jinyang stayed behind and Zhang gathered craftsmen and people to hold the city. Liang Jun was so imposing at this time that it almost breached the city several times. Fortunately, veteran An Jinquan helped defend the city. At this time, Li, our ambassador stationed in Luzhou, heard that Liang Guanzhong had attacked Jinyang and sent troops to save him. Hedong army gradually expanded and won several battles with Liang Jun. Liang Jun suffered another losing streak and suffered heavy losses. Wang Tan saw no hope of making outstanding achievements and had to quit.
