[Rebirth] Anecdote of Li Tang

After Xin Xin finished her homework, she turned her head and saw Fang Xuanling was looking at the sky with a straw in her mouth.Yixin knows that the small courtyard can't trap the ambition of the person in front of him at all, he is like a goshawk dormant and waiting, concentrating on finding a hunter who can make him loyal.

In the chaotic times at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the lords competed for the throne, and the 11th year of the great cause was destined to be an uneasy year.

With a soft sigh, she said, "Aye, I've finished memorizing."

Fang Xuanling recovered from the daze, looked at his son's pink and jade-carved face, waved to him, walked forward contentedly, and knelt down on the mat in an orderly manner.I thought that Fang Xuanling would examine him as usual, but this time, Fang Xuanling did not test his "Thousand Characters", but said slowly: "Zhier, the world is going to be chaotic. It will be destroyed in the hands of the Second Emperor."

Xin Xin tilted her head and looked ignorant, but inside she listened carefully.

"Now the whole country is talking about the emperor's mighty northern tour, but he was surrounded by the Turkic Shibi Khan at Yanmen. If his subordinates hadn't led the troops to rescue him, he might have died."

After Fang Xuanling finished speaking, seeing the flickering eyes of Yingxin and his pensive look, he immediately smiled and patted his son's head: "You are still young, don't worry, even if the sky really changes, Xicheng County is a small town. There can still be a period of peace in this area, let them fight for it, now the momentary outcome is uncertain, it only depends on who wins in the future."

I know that Fang Xuanling said that he is not in a hurry, but in his heart he is more anxious than anyone else. In the first Tang Dynasty, literati and inkmen all valued poetry and scriptures, but when Fang Xuanling was teaching him, he would always tell him How could Fang Xuanling be willing to be a small city lieutenant with such a vision and insight into the general trend of the world and the way of being a king?

The resourceful and founding father of Li Tang really waited too long to find the master.

Huangtian paid off, and at the turn of spring and summer in the 13th year of Daye, he finally got the opportunity.

From the Battle of Yanmen Pass, Emperor Sui Yang was seriously injured. Even though he was as proud as he was, he did not mention the Turks and Goguryeo. He traveled from Luoyang to Luoyang on the big dragon boat built with the flesh and blood of countless people. Jiangdu.The grand ambitions of the past were all wasted in the beauty's gentle embrace.

The heroes of the world are not fools. It is natural to see that Emperor Sui Yang is at the end of his battle. For a time, the whole country is surrounded by wars. There are Shuofang Liang Shidu in the west, Liang Wang Xiaoxiao in the south, and Liu Wuzhou "Dingyang Khan" in the north. Dou Jiande, Li Mi and others, within the borders, have long been carved up and the mountains and rivers have been broken.

Fang Xuanling took out a stack of bamboo slices, put them one by one in front of Xinxin, and said with a light smile, "Zhier, I have taught you a lot about the world these years, if you were to choose one of these people to follow, which one would you choose?" ?”

Yi Xin took a closer look, only to find that the names of the leaders of the local separatist forces were engraved on those bamboo slices.Yi Xin was rummaging through a pile of bamboo chips, and suddenly her eyes lit up.

That's right, he saw the name of Tang Gaozu Li Yuan.

Fang Xuanling had been paying attention to his son's expression, seeing that he finally picked out Li Yuan from a bunch of names, raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Why Li Yuan?"

In this matter, Satisfaction took advantage of the Prophet.But facing the interested Fang Xuanling, he couldn't say that Li Yuan would establish the Great Tang in the future.

The smart young man thought about it carefully. In his previous life, Fang Xuanling also voted under Li Yuan's command after careful consideration. To be precise, he became Li Yuan's second son and Li Shimin's adviser.

Since Fang Xuanling would choose Li Yuan, it meant that the Li family father and son had sufficient advantages in this competition.

After pondering for a long time, he replied: "I feel that Li Yuan was born in the Guanlong gentry, and he was related to the emperor. When it comes to stabilizing the hearts of the people in the group, he has an advantage over other separatist leaders. Secondly, what Li Yuan holds in his hand is Although Dou Jiande and others have a large number of elite troops in the imperial court, most of them are from peasant backgrounds. If they really want to fight, they will not have the upper hand, and the most important point..." Yi Xin pointed to the sand table , the location north of the Wei River: "Li Yuan's second son, Li Shimin, is a ruthless character who is very good at leading troops and fighting. Li Yuan has a good son."

After listening to his son's long speech, Fang Xuanling couldn't recover for a long time. In Xin Xin's memory, it was the first time he laughed so heartily.

"He, Li Yuan, has a good son. How about my Fang Xuanling? Zhi'er, you are really amazing. At such a young age, with such a strategy and vision, the future must be limitless."

As soon as Xin Xin finished speaking, he was also stunned.In his previous life, he was ignorant of the government affairs of the court and the world situation, and he was accompanied by silk and bamboo orchestras and melodious music all day long, but now he is sitting in front of Fang Xuanling, talking about the balance of power, really like being in a dream.

Fang Xuanling was praised when he saw his satisfaction, but he didn't show much joy on his face, and secretly said: Don't be surprised by favor or humiliation, you will become a great weapon.

Fang Xuanling raised his finger and pointed to Jinyang on the sand table: "Look, Zhier, this is Jinyang. To the north of it is the Turks who are eyeing the Central Plains. The emperor sent Li Yuan to guard this place. I am afraid that he knows that the strength of his troops , able to compete with the Turks, and within the Great Wall, Liu Wuzhou and others restrained Li Yuan, so the emperor handed over Jinyang to him."

After listening to Fang Xuanling's analysis, combined with a look at the sand table, Xin Xin realized that this was indeed the case. Li Yuan's situation was really not good. Not to mention the Turks in the north, they were a group of greedy wolves. Surrounded by strong ministers, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty let Li Yuan have military power in his hands, and at the same time used the forces of all parties to contain him.

"Zhi'er, if it were you, what would you do in the face of Li Yuan's situation?" Fang Xuanling asked another question to test his son.

This time, Yixin was in a difficult situation, he stared at the sand table for a long time, and said hesitantly: "I'm ashamed, I can only think of gathering soldiers from the five counties."

Fang Xuanling smiled: "It's very rare for you to think of this at such a young age." The so-called gathering the soldiers of the five counties refers to the gathering of troops from the five counties of Taiyuan, Yanmen, Mayi, Loufan, and Xihe.If Li Yuan wants to seize the world, he must first eliminate the small separatist forces around him.

Yixin scratched her head, smiled at Fang Xuanling, and said, "Aye, teach me quickly."

Fang Xuanling patted him on the shoulder: "Let's go, follow me to see the county magistrate."

Xinxin had no choice but to follow Fang Xuanling back to the main hall. The county magistrate of Xicheng was a short man with white temples. Every time he saw him, he was very happy. In his impression, he was always a kind person. elder.
