The autumn wind flies, Li Yuan stands at the top of the city, silent.
Huoyi Battle , although he was the winner, he also paid a considerable price.
After the city was broken, when Li Yuan saw that the blood was flowing in the ground for several miles and the zombie was lying on his back, a feeling of sadness arose.
He said to his subordinates compassionately: "Under the chaos, good and evil are not distinguished. Fire burns Kunshan. Whoever talks about jade will do anything to kill people. He has a heart that is very heartless. If you can't get it, and if you die in battle, you will not be known in life, and you will have no hatred. Thinking about it quietly, you will regret it deeply."
If your family has a great cause, you will naturally not be afraid of such damage, but killing ten thousand enemies and losing eight thousand of them will not be able to bear this kind of consumption.
There is no time, and it will be closer to success than this moment, allowing Li Yuan to determine the political line, which will be more accurate than a purely military line.
Li Yuan said flatly: "From now on, we should come with our moral character, and we will no longer use military force."
After this battle, Li Yuan's determination to use his official position to win the hearts of the people and inspire his followers.
and Li Yuan has no different teachings.
He innovatively expanded the scope of military merits and official positions. As long as he made contributions to the untouchables or disciples of the Sui Dynasty, Li Yuan would be rewarded and punished equally.
Li Yuan said affectionately: "How can there be no difference between arrows and stones? If there is no distinction between nobles and low points, there will be a difference between mediocre merits. From this point of view, how can we persuade you? How can we be the king? Why can we be the king?"
This is a very important institutional innovation.
The untouchables of the Sui Dynasty were many of the officials of criminal or hostile forces, and their exiled families or relatives had already completely fallen into the dark bottom and had no more days to turn around.
But after Li Yuan rose up, they saw the opportunity to restore their former glory.
This releases an irresistible force that can destroy the old system.
This kind of opportunity and hope makes Li Yuan's righteous soldiers come to their destination, and for a moment, they are like crucian carp.
Li Yuan showed his spirit and ability to embrace the world as the new master and tolerate everything.
What Li Yuan did in Huoyi is a textbook.
He continued the Xihe Kuanming policy, and Li Yuan issued a clear order, "Besides the old man of (Song Dynasty), he has no fault of his own. Even if he is not sincere to him, he should also respect each other with a heart of his heart."
At the same time, Li Yuan began his plan to enthrone the officials on a large scale to comfort the hearts of the people.
But Huoyi is different from the small Xihe City after all, and there are two new situations that need to be solved creatively by Li Yuan.
Huoyi was an important military stronghold in the Sui Dynasty in Hedong County . How to deal with the remaining Sui Dynasty officers and soldiers?
Huo Yi's left-behind army was part of the direct troops of the Sui Dynasty Yang Guang .
Li Yuan showed extraordinary generosity. His principle is: let the soldiers decide their future by themselves.
They can stay and be the Yi Soldiers and start over with Li Yuan.
At the same time, Li Yuan can also let them enter Guanzhong , or go to Luoyang , and do the good people to the end and give relevant fees.
This is also a brilliant political art, which not only shows Li Yuan's kingly demeanor, but also represents Li Yuan's ease in the old system. He is both an innovator and a defender of the old system, and has been greatly strengthened.
Li Yuan’s reputation among the government and the country is increasing day by day.
This directly affects the second emerging problem.
Taiyuan is Li Yuan's place of rebellion and the rear. Li Yuan now leads his army west into Guanzhong, but he is very different from the traditional bandits.
Li Yuan had the ambition to seize the world, so he could not adopt the ordinary tactics of rebels or bandits, and did not keep his troops and burn, kill, and plunder. He needed to win people's expectations in politics.
Although murder and revenge can be enjoyable for a while, it is not enough to create a new world.
Huo Yi is Li Yuan’s first strategic point on his way to the west. He needs to use this basis to attract surrender and abdicate his influence, which is a political technique that is high-level.
Li Yuan was not in a hurry. He wanted to see how different he would be from the Yang Xuangan that year.
He gained great satisfaction.
Li Yuan held his troops unmoved, and now he needs the surrounding counties to choose a team.
At the moment when Li Yuan was in charge of Huoyi, the officials of the Sui Dynasty counties and counties who were watching from all walks of life, local tyrants, followed like shadows under Li Yuan's political offensive, and everything they went down.
Li Yuan has become the tone of the ruler of all people and has achieved great strategic advantages.
This is a good start, and better news comes from Henan.
Since ancient times, the imperial family in Guanzhong was located in the west, but based on its territory, it finally unified the six kingdoms.
Liu Bang got Guanzhong and became king, Xiang Yu went to Guanzhong and lost the world, which is well known.
Therefore, if you want to win the world, you must be able to win the Guanzhong.
Crossing the westward Yellow River from Taiyuan and entering Guanzhong is a traditional key road. It is more beneficial and quick to move from the eastern capital Luoyang to the west.
If Henan's separatist forces take the lead in entering Guanzhong west, Li Yuan can only sigh.
But now in Henan, near Luoyang, there is a mess.
Li Mi , Luoyang left behind Yuewang Yang Tong, plus Yang Guang sent to quell the rebellion, the three major forces, although they have wins and loses each other, have temporarily maintained a dynamic balance.
They fought cruelly around Luoyang, restraining each other, but they were unable to truly look around.
Even though Li Mi had sent Chai Xiaohe to manage Guanzhong, he had a gratifying situation at one time, but he stopped because of Li Mi's defeat and Chai Xiaohe's drowning.
This left Li Yuan with an important space and time.
Destiny seems to be waiting for Li Yuan to make him the master of Guanzhong.
But he still needs to do his best to strive for a better situation for himself.
Facing Li Mi, who is at its peak and admired by everyone in the world, he needs to make a low attitude towards Li Mi.
Because Li Mi wrote him a letter.
Li Mi was at the peak of his life at that time. He fought for Zhairang , making himself the only leader of Wagang Army , and even won the battles in Henan. All the rebels in the Central Plains were already united under Li Mi's banner.
Even though the country is far away, the rebels from all walks of life will look back on Li Mi's head.
Li Mi believes that he is the leader of the world and the country of the Great Sui Dynasty can be obtained with his fingers.
So he wrote a letter to Li Yuan, one to ask him to join forces to defeat the Sui Dynasty, and the other to find out his words, wanting him to surrender to himself.
Li Mi wrote in the letter that he wanted to do a big thing with Li Yuan, that is, kill the Later Lord, hold the King of Dynasties, and change the dynasty.
This letter is timely rain.
Because Li Yuan needs to face the pressure from Guanzhong, but also must consider the threat from the eastern capital Luoyang.
Li Yuan once again showed his extraordinary political skills. He just replied to a letter and took advantage of the situation to let Li Mi be the Allied Army that restrained the troops of Dongdu for him.
Of course, in name, he resigned to Li Mi.
But when you are firmly in Guanzhong and full of wings, the world will naturally change and time will change, and you will have enough capital and confidence to compete with Li Mi.
So, he replied to Li Mi with a stingy letter.
Li Yuan wrote humbly in his letter: "Born to steam people, there must be a servant. Nowadays, who is not a son (Li Mi) for? I am over the age of knowing my destiny, and I am not as good as this. I am happy to have my eldest brother (Li Mi), and I am climbing my scales and wings."
Li Yuan admitted Li Mi's position as the leader of the alliance in writing and clearly stated that he was willing to promote him as emperor.
In order to further paralyze Li Mi, Li Yuan took enough time and even made a request for his position in Li Mi Xinchao .
Li Yuan wrote in the letter, "(Li Yuan) was re-enacted in the Tang Dynasty (Taiyuan), and this is a great honor."
Of course, the content of this letter may also become a fact, but there is a prerequisite that Li Mi can become the true lord of the world.
But Li Yuan’s heart did not think that Li Mi had the opportunity to become the new master.
He actually used Li Mi to let him hold back reinforcements from the eastern capital Luoyang, so that he could calmly move westward to Guanzhong.
So, when Li Mi's letter arrived, Li Yuan smiled happily and said, "(Li Mi's praises did not meet the destiny, so I rejected the soldiers of the Eastern Capital and guarded the dangers of Chenggao. I also looked for Han (Xin) Peng (Yue), so it is better to use (Li Mi). It is better to use (Li Mi. It is better to recommend the rewards with humble words and proudly aspirations so that they will not be afraid of me."
Li Yuan’s real worry is that Li Mi will rush his army to advance west regardless of everything, but the facts prove that this worry is redundant.
Li Mi had neither the ability nor the will to look around before she ate Luoyang.
After Li Mi received Li Yuan’s reply, she felt very relieved.
He is also worried that Li Yuan will go south to Luoyang, so that the situation will be more complicated and the situation will be out of control.
Now seeing Li Yuan’s praise, although he still doesn’t believe that Li Yuan will truly surrender to himself, if Li Yuan does not go south to Luoyang, he will give himself plenty of time.
Once the situation in Henan is settled, you can truly compete with Li Yuan.
So, he showed Li Yuan's letter to his subordinates and said, "Duke Tang saw the recommendation, the world is not enough to be determined."
Li Mi needs to race against time.
He wanted to see whether the true destiny emperor was Li Mi or Li Yuan of the same sect. He knew that all this depends on the battle situation in Luoyang, and he didn't have much time and opportunity.
Li Yuan also made the same abacus. Whether
can enter Guanzhong as soon as possible and win Changan will determine his strategic advantage over Li Mi.
"I have to enter the pass, occupy Pujin and station in Yongfeng, block the Han and come to Yiluo. Looking at the power of the thieves and snipes in the east, I will then become the fisherman of Qin."
Li's family is the king, and the destiny of heaven is home.
Try to see who is in the world today.
Li Yuan stood east of the Yellow River, 800 miles of Qinchuan, and the autumn wind blows, it is the season for harvest.
crosses the river.
