Next, Tang Gaozu Li Yuan was invited to the stage and began to perform. Tang Gaozu's image in the Tang book is not high, because there is a situation that Li Shimin may change the history book, so we try to restore the image of Tang Gaozu. Li Yuan is really a big son Li Shimin, or a big son Li Shimin, and it is understandable that he will leave a good son in the world, after all, it is not a loss to keep a son in his own world, but the image of the wise and wise Shenwu has been secretly degraded, and he has inexplicably become the emperor, and he is somewhat aggrieved in his heart.
Remembering that at the age of 50, when he had just taken charge of the army, in 615, Li Yuan, who was high-spirited, served as the ambassador of Hedong in Shanxi, attacked the thief Kou Mu Duan'er in Longmen, led more than ten people against thousands of people, shot seventy arrows and hit all the hits, and the thieves fled in defeat. He also attacked the Jiangzhou thief Kou Chai Baochang and subdued tens of thousands of his troops. The Turks invaded the border fortress, Gaozu and Ma Yi Taishou Wang Rengong met the attack, and the Sui army had few soldiers and was not enough to resist the enemy. Gaozu selected 2,000 elite cavalry as mobile troops, camped, fed and fed, the custom was like that of the Turks, and archery, hunting, and galloping horses to show that the army was leisurely;He also chose another soldier who was good at archery to ambush as a surprising victory. The Turks were suspicious and did not dare to fight;Gaozu took the opportunity to attack, and the Turkic army was defeated and fled. In 617, Gaozu left behind in Taiyuan and attacked the thief Kou Zhen Zhai'er in Gaoyang Lishan Fei at the West River and defeated the thief army. Gaozu is not only brave and strategic, but also can see that he is skilled in bows and horses, wise and brave, and he is worthy of being the chosen person in the bird's screen.
Originally, Gaozu was a good rebel internally, and he was loyal to the country and a pillar of the Great Sui Empire. However, on the one hand, Emperor Yang of Sui continued to let go of himself, and at the same time, Gaozu's good daughter-in-law, Empress Dou, and his good son Li Shimin instigated rebellion every day. As a qualified family leader, Li Yuan sent Li Jiancheng to Hedong to guard his home, secretly befriend heroes, and recruit fugitives. Leaving Li Shimin by his side to make friends with heroes, Li Shimin and Jinyang County Commander Liu Wenjing (Li Shimin's henchman, who will appear later) plotted to seize the world, but did not tell Li Yuan, always thinking about instigating Li Yuan to rebel. It can be seen that Li Shimin has liked to be a director since he was a child, and this scene is about to start filming, and the male protagonist is still in the dark. It can be seen how righteous Li Shimin's intentions are, and he is an unstable person when he is young, and he plans to make decisions for his father when he is only 18 years old. It is said that Li Shimin is so keen on anti-Sui, in addition to Yang Guangzuo's chaos in the world, his mother Dou should have also done a lot of educational work.
The opportunity finally came, Gaozu stayed in Taiyuan, concurrently served as the palace supervisor of Jinyang, and had a good subordinate Pei Lin (Gaozu's henchman, who will appear later) as the deputy supervisor. Li Shimin secretly discussed with Pei Lian, asked Gaozu to go to Pei's house to drink and watch beauties, and secretly arranged for a palace maid of Emperor Yang of Sui to serve Gaozu and bring a green hat to Emperor Yang of Sui. When Jiu Xing was in a good mood, Pei Lin told him about the seizure of the world, and Gao Zu was shocked. Pei Lin said that you also slept with Emperor Yang of Sui's palace maid, and the left and right are dead, so it is better to do the opposite. Li Shimin also took advantage of the situation to come in and tell him about it, which is really a good son of Gaozu. Gao Zu was startled, and it was estimated that the wine was scared to wake up. drank well and looked at beautiful women, why was it implicated in the rebellion. The history books record that Gaozu also wanted to arrest Li Shimin and send him to the government to prove his innocence, and later it was estimated that he remembered the virtue of Emperor Yang of Sui, and it was estimated that sending Li Shimin over was also the consequence of the whole family being cut down. The wine was almost sober, and the palace maid smiled. There is still no hurry to rebel, Li Yuan is fifty years old, and he is much more stable than the hairy guy in his teens. And there were more and more thieves in his area, the Turks repeatedly invaded the border fortress, Gaozu suppressed the rebellion to no avail, Emperor Yang sent envoys to arrest Gaozu to Jiangdu, Gaozu was very afraid. Li Shimin persuaded the troops again, and Li Yuan couldn't do it anymore, but at this time he still didn't have any soldiers in hand. Fortunately, Emperor Yang sent envoys to hurry up to pardon Gaozu. At this time, although the world was in turmoil, Gaozu was still a stable group, but he kept arranging it in secret.

Do you feel dizzy to see?The Great Sui is like this, and it is difficult for the grass kings to die all over the place. Tang Gaozu followed Emperor Yang of Sui again, not only could not save the Great Sui, but could also be killed by Emperor Yang of Sui at any time. At this time, raising troops can only be regarded as self-help, and it is worthy of the teachings of his uncle-in-law Yang Jian for many years to raise troops at this time.
When Liu Wuzhou attacked the Fenyang Palace, Gaozu summoned all the generals and said to them: "Now I am left behind, if the thieves capture the emperor's palace, even if the thieves do not kill us, they should be executed." But if you want to send troops to meet the attack, you must wait for the imperial court to reply, and at present, the traffic in Jiangdu is blocked, the road is far away, and the specified time for the report is delayedAll the generals and officials said, "You are the one who can make decisions on your own now in the interests of the country." Gao Zu said, "Okay!."So he recruited soldiers, and in ten days he recruited 10,000 men. Look at this time, Li Yuan did not openly oppose Sui, under the banner of defending the country and the land, he also wanted to test the hearts of the people, and he was worthy of his sophisticated means. The deputy left-behind, Hu Benlang general Wang Wei, and Hu Yalang general Gao Jun Ya saw a large number of soldiers recruited, suspected that an abnormal incident had occurred, and discussed taking advantage of the opportunity to go to the Jin Temple to ask for rain to get rid of Gaozu, but unfortunately was discovered by Gaozu. Gaozu's intelligence work is still very solid.
When the meeting was held on 15 May, Sima Liu Zhenghui of Kaiyang Prefecture accused Wang Wei and Gao Junya of rebellion, and Gaozu immediately arrested them. At this time, the Turks invaded the border, and Gaozu ordered the army to say: "Someone accused Wang Wei and Gao Junya of recruiting the Turks, and it is now confirmed that this is the case." So he killed the king and the high, and took advantage of the situation to raise an army. Look at how wonderful the reasons are, first push the pot to the opponent, solve the opponent and then solve the problem. Gaozu turned his head and sent Liu Wenjing as an envoy to the Turks to negotiate peace. The means were comparable to Li Shimin's little stunned young man who was holding back his rebellion every day. A few years later, a colleague also summed up this method in a few words: accumulate grain and slowly become king. It can be seen that the hero sees the same thing.
In June, Gaozu issued a military proclamation to all counties, claiming to be a volunteer soldier who banned violence and rescued chaos, set up a general's palace, and established three armies: left, center, and right. With the eldest son Li Jiancheng as the Duke of Longxi and the governor of the left leading army, the left army was subordinate to him;The second son, Li Shimin, was the Duke of Dunhuang and the governor of the right leading army, and the right army was subordinate to himThe third son, Li Yuanji, is the Duke of Gu Zang, and the Chinese army is subordinate to him. Pei Lin served as Changshi, Liu Wenjing served as Sima, Yin Kaishan, the magistrate of Shiai County, served as Pengshi, Liu Zhenghui was subordinate, and Changsun Shunde, Wang Changhui, Liu Hongji, and Dou Cong were the commanders. Open a warehouse to help the poor.
On the third day of the seventh month, Gaozu held a white military flag in his hand, mobilized and swore an oath to the whole army in the field, had 30,000 horses, and sent Li Yuanji to stay in Taiyuan. On the fourth day of the first month, troops were sent from Taiyuan. On the fifth day of the first month, he sent the general Zhang Lun to capture the three counties of Lishi, Longquan and Wencheng. On the seventh day of the first month, the army marched to Lingshi County and encamped in Jiahu Fort. Hu Yalang of the Sui Dynasty stationed Song Laosheng in Huoyi to resist the rebel army. On the 17th, Sima Li Liang of the Yingyang Mansion of the Sui Dynasty raised troops in Wuwei and called himself the King of Daliang.
In just two months, Gaozu had 30,000 soldiers, unified his ranks internally, united his allies externally, issued slogans, and conquered three cities. On the fourth day of October, Gaozu had 200,000 troops to besiege the capital. On the ninth day of November, the rebels conquered the capital. A year after the army was raised, he became emperor. The peasant rebellion began to break out in 611, and Gaozu endured it for six years, and in 617 he started the army, and it succeeded in one year. Therefore, it is the basic skill of a politician to plan and act later, everything can be done, and it is absolutely the quality that a king should have.
It is said that Gaozu had a smooth journey, and he broke the capital in a month, where is the emperor Emperor Sui Yang?He was in Jiangling with tens of thousands of Xiaoguo troops, and he didn't want to go back to the north. Speaking of the Xiaoguo Army, it is also considered the Praetorian Guard of Emperor Yang of Sui, the formation time was in the ninth year of Daye (613), Yang Guangdu was the emperor for nine years, and then he remembered to form such an army, and it turned out that the Praetorian Guard went to **?This can only be said to be a whim, or a helpless move.
After Yang Guang ascended the throne, the relationship with the main domestic political forces led by the Guanlong nobles became worse and worse. The palace guards of the Sui Dynasty were filled with a large number of noble children, as well as generals and sergeants who were recommended to enter the forbidden army. Yang Guang needed an army that had nothing to do with the Guanlong nobles to protect himself.
In the year before Yang Guang formed the Xiaoguo Army, that is, in the eighth year of the Great Cause of the Sui Dynasty (612 AD), Yang Guang's personal expedition to Goguryeo failed. The consequences of this defeat were many, and they were also serious, including the huge impact on Yang Guang's Su Guard army and the field army loyal to him. Yang Guang's attack on Goguryeo, the opposition in the imperial court was very strong, and it was Yang Guang's obstinence that contributed to it. On the battlefield, most of the people who are really fighting on the front line are the troops loyal to Yang Guang, including his Su Guard army. The losses of these armies were the greatest, as were the number of leading generals killed in battle.
After the end of the war, it was necessary to find someone to take the blame for the real commander Yang Guang, and the generals who were loyal to Yang Guang were also the mainstay. Originally, the army loyal to Yang Guang suffered the most losses on the Goguryeo battlefield, but after the war, it suffered major changes at the top, especially the Suwei army. Therefore, the distrust of the noble children and generals in the army of the remaining guards, and the excessive losses on the battlefield, the two factors superimposed, prompted Yang Guang to have the idea of forming a Xiaoguo army. The Xiaoguo Army is mainly dominated by heroes in Guanzhong, but in fact, most of them are street slickers on the street. Please pay attention to these two characteristics, one is that it has nothing to do with the major families, and the other is the local heroes in Guanzhong. As a result, the army was not very influenced by the big family, but it was also not very cohesive, and it was widespread and speculative. Originally, Emperor Yang of Sui could indeed win this army, but he was very busy, busy quelling the rebellion, busy enjoying it, and gave the Xiaoguo army to Yu Wenhua and the commander. Xiaoguojun followed Yang Guang everywhere, and finally ran to Jiangling and began to flee one after another. The Praetorian Guards established single-handedly can run, and Emperor Yang of Sui is really not an ordinary person. The Praetorian Guards were not firmly controlled, and the earth shook, and soon his cousin Li Yuan also verified this sentence.
