Volume 1 Chapter 56 Li Shimin¡¯s Dilemma

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    During this period, Xiao Feng had a clearer understanding of some realities surrounding the Turkic invasion and Liu Wuzhou's attack on Luoyang.

    Xiao Feng¡¯s greatest feeling was that the difficulties faced by King Qin Li Shimin were far beyond his imagination.

    Indeed, Xiao Feng secretly admired Li Shimin's methods. He could still push Luoyang to the position of the Eastern Capital under such difficult circumstances. This really shows that Li Shimin's extraordinary methods and long-term vision are enough to prove that he  He is a person worthy of his support.

    But it can also be analyzed from another angle. Here, Li Yuan has just decided to establish Luoyang as the eastern capital. Over there, Jieli Khan personally led an army of 200,000, plus Liu Wuzhou's 100,000 elite troops, approaching Luoyang.  Come on, is this just a coincidence?

    If Jieli Khan really wanted to plot Chang'an, the capital of Tang Dynasty, the route he took should not have taken such a big circle.

    This can only show that Jieli Khan's goal was nominally far away from Chang'an, but in fact it was just Luoyang, because the Turks successively conquered Wencheng County, Longquan County and Jiang County, and occupied the area between Fenshui River and the Yellow River.  After gaining a large territory, although we can cross the Yellow River to the west and approach Chang'an, we can also go south to Fenshui and send troops to Luoyang.

    ?This way, it can be explained why the Turks would abandon the near and seek the far, and go around in such a generation to enter the Central Plains.

    There is no doubt that if the Turks finally defeated the armies of Li Xiaogong and Li Shimin, the Tang Dynasty would definitely negotiate a peace with the Turks and abandon Luoyang in exchange for the Turks' withdrawal.

    The Turks now are a force that no one can afford to offend.

    From this perspective, it can also be seen that Jieli Khan was taking advantage of the internal conflicts between the Tang Prince Li Jiancheng and the Qin King Li Shimin to create opportunities to completely suppress Li Shimin.

    Presumably, Jieli Khan also knew that Li Yuan established Luoyang as the eastern capital. In fact, he had the idea of ????re-employing Li Shimin again.

    But why did Jieli Khan suppress Li Shimin like this?  Why did he take the risk of completely antagonizing the Tang Dynasty and mobilize troops for Liu Wuzhou like this?

    Or rather, who is so worried about Li Shimin regaining power?

    This is the question that Xiao Feng can¡¯t figure out.

    Of course, Xiao Feng knew very well that there was one person among them who definitely did not want to see Li Shimin gain power again.

    This person is the Goryeo Emperor Jin Zhendong.

    Xiao Feng is now fully confident that Li Shimin's defeat at the hands of Dou Jiande six years ago must be inseparable from the Goryeo Emperor Jin Zhendong, because Jin Zhendong knew Li Shimin's true ability and was afraid that the entire Central Plains would be unified under Li Shimin's control.  In his hands, he will use all means to hinder Li Shimin's power and the unification of the Tang Dynasty.

    Indeed, if Li Shimin defeated Dou Jiande at that time and then occupied all the Shandong and Hebei areas controlled by Dou Jiande, then Datang would have owned more than one-third of the entire world's land and nearly half of its population.

    With this foundation, the Tang Dynasty's unification of the world could not be hindered by Jin Zhendong.

    Jin Zhendong came from a later generation and roughly knew some of the historical trends of the Tang Dynasty. Relying on the strength of the Goryeo Dynasty, he really had a chance to suppress Li Shimin like this.

    Therefore, Li Shimin has been in the doldrums for six years.

    Now Xiao Feng is not sure whether there is a tacit understanding between Jin Zhendong and Jieli Khan, but judging from the fact that the two of them suppressed Li Shimin so unanimously, Xiao Feng cannot rule out this suspicion.

    Because what Jin Zhendong needs most now is still a divided Central Plains where all parties are evenly matched.

    The longer the Central Plains is divided, the more powerful their Goryeo dynasty will be.

    As for the Turks, they also need chaos in the Central Plains in order for them to profit from it.

    If it is true as Jieli Khan and Liu Wuzhou planned this time, Li Shimin lost Luoyang, and Liu Wuzhou gained Luoyang, the situation in the Central Plains will naturally be more in line with the needs of Jin Zhendong and Jieli Khan.

    From now on, Li Shimin, who has no support, may really lose the opportunity to control the highest power of the Tang Dynasty, and the strength of the Tang Dynasty will be greatly damaged due to the loss of Luoyang.

    From this perspective, Xiao Feng can see that Li Shimin not only has powerful opponents within the Tang Dynasty, but also has extremely powerful enemies around the Tang Dynasty. None of them want Li Shimin to gain power.

    After coming to this conclusion, Xiao Feng must modify the plan he made before.

    Xiao Feng's original plan was to find a way to use Li Xiaogong, slowly lurk beside Li Shimin, and finally support Li Shimin to ascend to the throne and control the highest power of the entire Tang Dynasty, and then rely on Li Shimin to continuously complete his attack on the Emperor Jin Jin of the Goryeo Dynasty.  East's reaction??strategy.

    But at this moment, it seems that it is unwise for Xiao Feng to appear next to Li Shimin.

    Because Li Shimin's strength is not strong enough, the level of attention he receives is too high. There are so many enemies lurking in the dark, paying attention to Li Shimin all the time. If Xiao Feng appears next to Li Shimin, even if he  In order to keep a low profile, I am afraid that it will gradually attract Jin Zhendong's attention.

    The current Xiao Feng needs time to become stronger, so he cannot expose himself too quickly.

    Therefore, he will stay away from Li Shimin, then hide in the dark, slowly control everything, and support Li Shimin to rise to power.

    Xiao Feng knows that his biggest advantage now is that Jin Zhendong cannot know that he has come to Datang. When he chased Jin Zhendong, he only met Jin Zhendong, and Jin Zhendong didn't know  The details of the Chinese special forces soldier who was chasing him.

    This is Xiao Feng's current advantage. Just like Jin Zhendong was hiding in the dark, suppressing Li Shimin, and secretly controlling the situation in the Central Plains, what Xiao Feng has to do now is to hide in the dark, slowly cultivate various forces, and support  Li Shimin used various methods to fight against Jin Zhendong.

    ¡°When one day, one day, I am strong enough, and the entire Chinese nation is strong enough, then, even if Jin Zhendong knows that he has come to the Tang Dynasty, what¡¯s the harm?

    As a special soldier, Xiao Feng deeply understands the importance of hiding one's identity, not to mention in such an extremely complex and unfavorable situation.

    In fact, only those who are truly hidden in the dark will play the most critical role when necessary.

    Just like Xiao Feng¡¯s assassination of Jieli Khan this time.

    Of course, there is another very important reason why Xiao Feng decided to stay away from Li Shimin at this moment.

    During this period, as Xiao Feng's understanding of Li Shimin deepened, he became more certain that it was impossible for a hero like Li Shimin to have true friends. He only needed loyal subordinates and people who were valuable to him.  .

    Although Xiao Feng has now become Li Shimin's nominal brother, he will never be too optimistic about his relationship with Li Shimin.

    So Xiao Feng felt that he could secretly support Li Shimin to control the power of the entire Tang Dynasty, but he could never truly become Li Shimin's friend.

    This time, Li Shimin did everything without Xiao Feng's consent, making everyone think that he was his brother. Xiao Feng felt that he was too high-profile and too close to Li Shimin. Then  How could he continue to get closer to Li Shimin at this moment?

    Now, if you choose to stay close to Li Shimin, you will gain temporary glory but leave endless troubles in the future.

    How could Xiao Feng, a person with such a clear grasp of the overall situation and such a clear mind, make such an unwise choice?
