Li Xin, the late emperor of the Western Liang Dynasty, started at the peak, and the fireworks emperor lacked stamina
In 417 AD, Li Hui, the founding emperor of the Western Liang Dynasty, died, leaving the throne to his son Li Xin. When Li Wei was alive, he attached great importance to Li Xin's education and cultivation, and often asked him to copy Zhuge Liang's "Teacher Table" during the Three Kingdoms period, hoping to cultivate his noble sentiments.
However, Li Xin did not change his nature because of this "Teacher Table". Born and raised in the Sixteen Kingdoms, Li Wei worked hard in this troubled era and eventually established the Xiliang Dynasty and became the lord of a country.
However, even if he succeeded, he still felt dissatisfied. He has always pursued greater success, such as unifying the north, unifying the world, or doing something vigorous.
However, the world is chaotic, and things are not as easy as he imagined. He found that sometimes, even if he tried, it was difficult to hold on to the land.
Sixteen Kingdoms": The author questions whether Li Wei understands the meaning of life, arguing that success should not be about oppressing others and pursuing power. As a generation of emperors, Li Wei established the foundation of Xiliang during his reign, but he had no control over the future of the dynasty and eventually handed over power to his son Li Xin.
Li Wei's mention of Li Xin reflects his concern about the foundation of Xiliang, because Xiliang is a separatist regime and faces the threat of strong enemies, especially the potential threat from Beiliang.
Although Li Wei can't change his fate, he still has to take responsibility for his life.
Li Wei may have despised his son too much. At that time, the emperor of Northern Liang was Taizu Fuqu Mengxun, who devoted his life to expanding his territory, conquering and occupying all the lands he could see.
coincided with the death of the first emperor of Xiliang and the accession of the new emperor to the throne, and Fuqu Mengxun saw the opportunity and immediately sent a large army to seize some cities in Xiliang. Fuqu Mengxun was a Hun, but not a rude and brutal Hun in the traditional sense.
He is very shrewd. When he sent troops to Xiliang, his combat method was not to attack, but to surrender. He ordered his generals to lead a large army to surrender to Li Xin, hoping to lure Li Xin deep behind enemy lines and then besiege him.
However, Li Xin is not an idle person. He is not only familiar with the "Departure Table" and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", but also has an in-depth understanding of historical battles such as the Battle of Chibi and the Battle of Shiting.
He knows the story of Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai and Zhou Doi's broken hair, and he will not be easily fooled.
Li Xin saw through Mengxun's strategy early, but he did not make a statement, but secretly mobilized troops and horses to surround the enemy army. When the two armies met, before Fuqu Mengxun could make a move, Li Xin adopted a preemptive strategy, and the soldiers who had been ambushed in advance launched an attack from all directions, completely defeating the Beiliang army.
Under this heavy setback, Fuqu Mengxun did not choose to take a breath, but immediately sent an elite army to conquer Beiliang. This decision shows his determination and perseverance, and it is very scary for someone like him to persevere to the end.
Pure people, especially pure warfighters, often have a firm goal and are willing to pay whatever it takes, even by any means. In the world at that time, such people were the most dangerous existence.
Because their behavior often has no bottom line, just to achieve their goals, desperate.
They never give up and will never give up on their beliefs and paths, no matter how many setbacks they face. They are not subject to the material world, and power, money, and beauty cannot shake their determination.
They are willing to give everything, even sacrificing everything, to achieve their goals. His goal is to eliminate Xiliang, he knows that there is no absolute success in this world, but he firmly believes that as long as he persists and works hard, he will definitely have a chance to succeed.
He led the Northern Liang army to attack Western Liang, but the stubborn resistance of the Western Liang army prevented him from advancing, so he decided to withdraw his troops. But this withdrawal was different from the past, he not only withdrew his troops, but also cut all the ripe crops in Xiliang.
Although he was victorious on the battlefield, he was still unable to completely suppress Li Xin. Li Xin was a young and gifted leader who was overconfident and began to indulge himself, much to the great worry of Xiliang's ministers.
They all advised Li Xin, hoping that he would be more cautious and not destroy the development of Xiliang because of his greed for pleasure.
Li Xin, the late emperor of the Western Liang Dynasty, faced with this kind of unpleasant but heartfelt exhortation, his reaction was "displeasure" in "Zizhi Tongjian". For a long time when Li Xin first ascended the throne, he bravely challenged fate, but with the passage of time and the accumulation of achievements, he began to flutter.
The graceful and luxurious life made his will vulnerable, and the speed with which Li Xin threw himself into the arms of desire surprised the entire Xiliang army and civilians. While enjoying power and prosperity, Li Xin's heart is also full of contradictions.
His body was torn in half and still surviving on his own, and his two parts often stared at each other like enemies. Li Xin's real enemy is not himself, but his former defeated general.
When he heard the news that Fuqu Mengxun led a heavy army to attack Western Qin, he almost forgot about this person. However, the news also opened his eyes to an opportunity.
Li Xin led all his soldiers to gamble and tried to break through Northern Liang in one fell swoop when he sent troops to attack Western Qin. What he didn't expect, however, was that his enemy, Sulpit Monxun, was no longer the usual defeated general.
During this time, he continued to learn and improve himself, which is no longer what it used to be. Therefore, sending troops to attack Western Qin was just a cover for him to lure Li Xin's Western Liang army into battle.
In the end, Li Xin's lone army went deeper, and was shot and killed by the frustrated Qu Mengxun's Hui Ma without leaving a piece of armor, the whole territory of Xiliang fell, and Li Xin died in battle. This story tells us that no matter how good the past is, we must cherish the present, because the future is always full of unknowns and uncertainties.
Time flies like flowing water, and there is no return. Life is not only about humans and animals, but also about every inch of the earth, every leaf. Flowers bloom and fall, plants and trees wither, and although humans and animals cannot live forever, they continue to live and reproduce.
Life is like trauma after trauma, recovery again and again, and every ** is to meet the next challenge. Although the sycamore is old, it is still tenacious and makes a sound in the wind.
Those who did not defeat him completely made him stronger. On the stage of history, Li Xin, who was originally the male number one, was robbed of the limelight by the supporting role of Fuqu Mengxun, and there is no margin for error in this cruel world.
Trickery, bloody fighting, don't be a prey, just be a hunter.
Everything in the world is changing, and human nature is no exception. In those turbulent times, people's behavior and morals could change in an instant, or even become completely opposite.
Some people used to be honest and kind, but in the long river of history, they have become the best murderers; Someone was once a wise and martial emperor, but in his old age he became a bastard.
Benevolence, righteousness and morality are subverted, sincerity and kindness are corroded, the good becomes bad, and the bad becomes worse. The author is not surprised or angry about this, because the author understands them.
They have chosen the latter in their choice of seeking meaning in life and sustaining their existence, whether or not they are legitimate. Despite this, the author firmly believes that in this world, there will always be a group of people who still stick to their true colors and insist on kindness after experiencing the heat and coldness of the world, many hardships, countless injuries and malice.
So, good people, please don't ask them why they can keep their original intentions, but ask them where they came from and where they are going.
