Crown Tang emperor

Although Li Tong's words were not loud, they were indeed thought-provoking.

Since the Holy Emperor Wu Zetian took charge of the country, one of the most criticized things was the failure in border affairs. The Taizong and Gaozong dynasties lost more than half of their success.Now that the gods are revolutionizing and the emperor's heir is in charge of the country, if they are robbed and plundered by the Turks again, it will indeed shake the stability of the rule.

"This matter really needs to be carefully discussed. If you have any good ideas, you may wish to speak freely for the public's reference!"

After pondering for a moment, the emperor's heir Li Dan also spoke.

But the situation is such a situation. Although there are many wise men present, none of them can come up with any strategy that can achieve the best of both worlds.After all, the imperial court has a lot of power that can be requisitioned at the moment, and it is indeed a bit inappropriate to rashly requisition to all the states.

It's not that no one proposed to replace the soldiers and horses of Duji Province with the army of Daibei Province internally and externally, and patrol the border for defense, but before Li Tong opened his mouth, he was rejected by the emperor's heir Li Dan.

Letting Dai Bei Dao's army into the Chongsu Guard can indeed play a check and balance effect, but if all the defense of Shendu is handed over to Dai Bei Dao's army, he will be even more restless.

Chapter 0509 donated to close the household, but a thief for the country

Although Li Tong raises a problem, he is not responsible for solving it. Of course, even if he wants to solve it, everyone may not give up the stage and let him play.

He has no objection to joining the Chongsu Guard on behalf of the North Dao army. He also understands that although this army has been out for a few months without fighting, its morale is indeed low and it is homesick. If it is harsh, it will make the morale of the army even more difficult if it does not show respect for soldiers.

Among the officials' discussion, the opinions of Li Zhaode and Di Renjie are quite representative, and it can be said that they represent the hawks and doves.

Li Zhaode advocated recruiting brave men from various prefectures, especially Guanzhong, and went north to Shuofang. Once the Turks came to disturb them, they would deal a head-on blow.Di Renjie, on the other hand, advocated telling the border states to strengthen the walls and clear the country, and focus on defense. At the same time, he sent envoys to Turkic to communicate with Mochuo. If necessary, he could even be given a certain name, so as to ensure that the imperial court could get through this period of political turmoil as soon as possible. .

The two expressed their opinions, each had their own reasons, and each had a group of supporters, which made the discussion deadlocked. Until the end of today's court meeting, they still did not reach a consensus.

After the ministers withdrew from the court, Li Dan deliberately left Li Tong behind.This time Li Tong did not refuse, and saving Wang Meichang temporarily eased the relationship between him and his fourth uncle.

"Thinking back in the days of the country, there were more than [-] people under the armor, who in the universe could be the enemy! Time has passed, and today, a group of thieves who have subjugated the country have made me stand in a stalemate. I don't know how to deal with it! Sad, hateful, I am ashamed of my ancestors!"

Li Dan received Li Tong in the side hall of the Guanfeng Palace, waved his hands to screen off the palace people, looked at his nephew, touched his knees and sighed.

"The old things are hidden, and I can't bear to look back. But fortunately, everything is back to normal now, and I try my best to do it without any shame."

Hearing what Li Tong said, Li Dan showed a smile on his face, pointed to this nephew and said: "I really envy Shen Zhi, you are young and strong-minded, yes, our uncle and nephew are all enjoying their prime years, why should we be afraid of the short time in front of us?" The crisis! So, which one do you agree with, Shen Zhi, according to the two ministers of the court council?"

Li Zhaode and Di Renjie's discussion, in the final analysis, is to save face or to live.

From Li Zhaode's point of view, the Turks were nothing more than a group of subjugated countries, and they survived only with the forgiveness of Tang Enwei. Although the Gu Dulu brothers got together for a while, the court always refused to recognize them.

If this opening is opened, then the Turkic rule over the desert will be more reasonable, and it will also give the border states and the Fanhus more options to sit on the fence, and the disaster will be long-term.

However, Di Renjie felt that we should focus more on reality. During the Gaozong period, there were already signs of militarism. Internal friction.

Under such circumstances, instead of investing a lot of manpower and material resources to maintain border order beyond the core interests of the empire, it is better to seize the time to restore domestic order as soon as possible, first to rest and then to make ambitious plans.

Li Tong didn't know whether his fourth uncle asked him for his opinion, whether he couldn't make up his mind, or it was a test for him, or a combination of both.However, on this issue, he did not intend to hide his secrets.

"The Turkic thieves are wandering around, coming and going unpredictably. If they use troops this winter, they may have already killed my border town. The most important thing right now is to follow up with offensive and defensive remedies."

When it comes to this issue, Li Tong is also a little depressed. Dai Beidao's army has a rare opportunity to go straight to the empty door, but he can't get in. On the way back, he learned that Gu Dulu had died suddenly. The move must have already been put into practice. I only hope that the border states can properly defend and don't let the Turkic invasion cause too much loss this time.

As for how to guard against the Turks in the future, there is actually a ready-made solution, and that is the three-surrendered city built by Zhang Renyuan in history.In the Tang Dynasty, there was no large-scale construction of the Great Wall, and the construction of the Sanshoucheng City itself was mainly offensive. It was only in the middle and late Tang Dynasty after the Anshi Rebellion that the Sanshoucheng City was transformed into a defensive system.

Historically, Zhang Renyuan rushed to build the Three Surrendered Cities while taking advantage of the silent expedition to the west and the emptiness of Monan.From then on, Datang had an overall border defense and offensive system in Monan, which directly pushed the Turkic activities out of Monan.

Although Turkic activities are rampant right now, and they already have a certain strategic initiative in Monan, it doesn't mean that there is no foundation for building the three surrendered cities right now.In fact, the current foundation is even better than that of Zhang Renyuan in history.

Although Gu Dulu was the leader of the restoration of the Turks, it was only during the silent period that the Turks really became strong.Especially after the outbreak of the Yingzhou Rebellion, the emptiness of Wu Zhou's power in the north was fully exposed. This was a rare period of growth for the Turks.Mochuo was also officially recognized by the imperial court during this period, and almost all the border prefectures fell to the Turks, and the Turks' actions in Monan were rampant for a while.

It was under such circumstances that Zhang Renyuan presided over the construction of the Three Surrendered City during Zhongzong Jinglong's reign, which finally gave the imperial court the means to effectively suppress the Turks.The establishment of the Three Surrendered Cities was also one of the few bright spots in the border affairs of Zhongzong's first dynasty.

As for the present, although the Turks have successfully restored their country, they are not a border trouble force that can be completely suppressed in a short period of time, but they have not yet reached the point where it is too difficult to control.

Not to mention that in the third year of Chuigong, the black teeth often broke the Turkic bone Dulu, and Xue Huaiyi went to the north to fight against the Turkic a few times, but he never encountered the enemy, and did not fight the Turkic at all.On the one hand, it is naturally because of Xue Huaiyi's luck, and on the other hand, the Turks do not have enough strength to face the army.

Therefore, the current strategic initiative of the Turks is the choice of the timing and location of the crimes committed by the rogues, mainly relying on the fact that Datang does not have a systematic offensive and defensive system on the border of Monan.

After all, Empress Wu Zetian was in charge of the country, and she did not dare to delegate too much power to the frontier generals, and she also changed frequently, causing chaos.From this point alone, in the process of Turkic restoration and growth, Wu Zetian was closer to the Gu Dulu brothers than his own sons.

"The trouble of the Turks is just a disease of bandits, but if you ignore it for a long time and fail to deal with it, it will become a disaster of corruption. I ask you to send good talents from the frontier affairs to patrol along the river and build a majestic city. Take the city as a point and wait for it. Believe me, go straight into the hinterland of Monan to block the enemy's ability to maneuver, and if things go on like this, the bandits will be in vain!"

Although Li Tong knew that the three surrendered cities were a good strategy to control the enemy, he didn't understand the specific tactical considerations and location selection so clearly.

But as long as this idea is put forward, the implementation of specific tactics can be handed over to the relevant personnel. Among other things, Zhang Renyuan is still in the Anxi Protectorate, and he can be sent directly to Shuofang for field investigation in line with the principle of shallow Chinese medicine. .

However, after Li Dan heard this strategy, he couldn't help frowning and said: "In ancient times, when thieves were suppressed, they all guarded by the river, but now they rashly build a city in the border of Monan. According to the thieves, I am afraid that the harm will be even greater!"

The question raised by Li Dan is not without reason.One of the great tactical innovations of the Three Surrendered Cities was to build the city in the hinterland of the Monan Grassland. Although there were buildings similar to the Surrendered City before the Tang Dynasty, it was a veritable Surrendered City. It was a place to accept the surrender of Hulu in Mobei. It doesn't have much strategic significance.

The reason why the Three Surrendered Cities were able to exert such a high strategic value, apart from the innovation of the tactics itself, was another important reason, that is, it had to be matched with the already strong combat power of the Tang Dynasty.

The Tang Dynasty has a strong Hu style, and it does not fall behind in the field of cavalry combat. At the very least, no matter whether it is the Turks or other Hu tribes, when they were enemies with the Tang Dynasty, they never formed arms of nomadic peoples against farming peoples. suppress.

Therefore, the three surrendered cities essentially pushed the forward front of the Tang army to the hinterland of Monan. Otherwise, it would be difficult to form such a difficult-to-break strategic suppression with only three cities and a group of beacon castles.

As for building and maintaining the city in the hinterland of Monan, it will cost a lot, that's for sure.But compared with the unscrupulous Turkic rampage in Monan and repeated violations of the border states, these expenses are really worthless.

If there is no effective restriction and blockade of the Turks now, the price to be paid in the future will be huge, and it is far from the cost of the three surrendered cities to fill this big hole.

"I was born as a descendant of the Tian family, and I have enough food and clothing to support me. I don't need to seal up a big city to enjoy wealth and honor. I would like to donate all the seals to the country. I only want the border town to be peaceful, and the thief dare not go south to herd horses!" "

Li Tong got up to worship, and said seriously.

Right now, it is very difficult to directly ask the imperial treasury to allocate money and food to build the city in Monan, Li Tong knows this very well.However, the sooner the three surrendered cities are built, the sooner they will benefit, and this is an urgent point.

Li Tong is currently sealing [-] households, and he is the richest man in the clan.But to be honest, apart from the vanity of having the highest number of seals, he doesn't really care much about his actual income.If you really have no money to support your family, the worst thing is to eat soft rice.

Furthermore, Li Tong also wanted to suppress the trend of flooding.Although the national power became stronger and stronger during the Kaiyuan period, the direct income of the imperial court did not increase proportionally. The main reason was that the clan dignitaries occupied a large amount of tax household income.

Although the treatment of the clan in the Tang Dynasty was far inferior to that of the Ming Dynasty in later generations, the seal of the clan was also a rather heavy financial burden.Before Zhenguan, the imperial court was relatively restrained in this regard, and even the prince's food town was less than a thousand households.

However, in the period of Gaozong, in order to win over the clan, it was a bit out of tune. Basically, the princes were granted from thousands of households, and all of Wu Zetian's sons and daughters also exceeded the seal.But the problem is not too big, after all, those clans were all killed by Wu Zetian soon, and the son didn't show mercy.

The real flood of Shifeng in the Tang Dynasty started from the Zhongzong Dynasty.Li Xian, the emperor, lacked confidence, so he only used this to show his favor. Princess Xiang Wang, Tai Ping, and An Le all had households starting at [-].And those clans who were killed by Wu Zetian were all able to continue their heirs and seal them up, which is even more superior than before.

This policy was also inherited during the Kaiyuan period. Li Longji's brothers all started from [-] households, and even Li Shouli, a big baby, had a solid seal of [-] households.Although the later princes and grandchildren were reduced to two thousand households for princes and one thousand households for princesses, they more than doubled compared to the early Tang Dynasty.Not to mention that there are still a large number of coup heroes, all of whom have to be sealed.

Li Tong is now willing to donate his fiefdom to build the three surrendered cities. In addition to promoting his style and defending against bandits, he is also planning for himself.

In short, I will be the master of the house in the future, and it is absolutely impossible for me to be so generous.The clan is pleasing to the eye, and rewarding some goods can also promote economic consumption, but it is absolutely impossible for anyone who wants to directly block thousands of households!

Chapter 0510 a good plan is difficult to implement, peace and trouble

After listening to Li Tong and Chen Ce, Li Dan also had a thoughtful expression on his face. He first praised Yong Wang Gaoyi, and then said that donating food and food is unnecessary. As for whether to build a city in Monan, this matter still needs to be considered in the long run.

Hearing the emperor's heir's answer, Li Tong was speechless for a while. He did make a lot of tricks against his fourth uncle, but the suggestion he made this time was really selfish.

Leaving aside the reverie of whether he will be the master of the family in the future, no matter who owns the Li family's family business, controlling the number of clans is also a strategy that benefits the country and the people.

But his fourth uncle also has his own considerations. In the past few years, their Li Tang clan has been treated quite badly. Although the imperial line can be stabilized in their family, it has also caused the imperial power to be somewhat isolated and helpless.

In the early Tang Dynasty, after all, it was not a world in which the later Song and Ming Dynasties had a mature bureaucratic class and system, and many problems could be solved by talking about it.As for old fairies like Jiajing, if they are still old-fashioned in the Tang Dynasty, they will overturn every minute.

In the final analysis, the Tang Dynasty, especially the Tang Dynasty before the Anshi Rebellion, was still the region-based regime structure of the Middle Ages, and a complete concept of central authority had not been established.

In the Middle Tang Dynasty after the Anshi Rebellion, the separatism of the towns was a transitional period from the Middle Ages to the modern times. The rebelliousness of the three towns of Heshuo and the continuous blood supply from the south of the Yangtze River to the center are the manifestations of the differences between the regional standard and the central standard.

In the Middle Ages, the struggle between the power of the monarchy and the power of the ministers was still very fierce. The ultimate manifestation of the two is the tyrant who regards human life as nothing and the powerful minister who can abolish the establishment without authorization.

These two phenomena became less and less after the Song Dynasty. Although the king was still unavoidably fatuous, he was less violent and unscrupulous than the previous dynasty. The ministers may have great power for a while, but they will never surpass the imperial power.

If a great eunuch like Wei Zhongxian lived in the middle and late Tang Dynasty, it would be fine to change the emperor every month, but in the Ming Dynasty, a thousand years later, a single edict could kill you.

Most of the court ministers are active in the current situation with the entire clan or even the entire region. How can the emperor fight with others when he is alone?Therefore, being as fierce as Wu Zetian also depends on her group of trash from the Wu family to balance the situation.

In all the great unified dynasties, Tang Xuanzong's meanness and lack of kindness to his children and grandchildren were at the top of the list. When An Lushan drove out of Chang'an, he also had to write a "Three Kings of Destiny", hoping that his sons could check and balance each other to clean up the mess he made.

Li Dan, the heir of the supervisor of the country, is not much different from a lonely family.Don't look at the many veterans of the Tang family who shouted that we don't want to live without the emperor's heir, but when he really stepped onto the stage, there was a natural gap with these veterans of the Tang family.

The previous rescue of Wang Meichang was a clear example. Without the help of King Yong, a young man from the clan, he would not be able to deal with the courtiers at all.And King Yong is too powerful, which is a great threat to him.

Calling foreign troops into the Zhisu Guard itself is extremely risky, who knows if a Dong Zhuo will be called in.Therefore, supporting other clans to enter the current situation is also a means to effectively restrain the brothers of King Yong, such as his younger sister, Princess Taiping, who is unwilling to be lonely.

Li Tang's clan had a miserable life during the Wu Zhou Dynasty, almost none of them survived. After Li Dan came to power, it was reasonable to show affection to them.

For example, the court is already discussing, mainly Xue Ji, the regular servant of Sanqi, who is advocating that Li Qianli, the eldest son of the late Wu King Li Ke, should be called into the court to lead the forbidden army.At present, among the Li and Tang clans, the Li Ke family is the most well-preserved, even more than Gaozong Li Zhi's descendants.

After all, Li Ke was killed by a group of old Guanlongs headed by Changsun Wuji. For Wu Zetian, the enemy of the enemy is a friend, not to mention that Li Qianli is still the second in the Li Tang clan after Yong Wang Li Shenzhi. He licks the dog a lot, so the family lives happily.

Li Dan wants to introduce these clans into the current situation, consolidate his position, and check and balance the Yongwang brothers. The reward of Juelu Shiyi is the most effective means.

The reason why Tang Shanshi, who had a close relationship with him, was arranged as Zong Zhengqing was also planned in this regard. Who would have thought that Tang Shanshi would stay with Wang Meichang, which directly angered King Yong and the courtiers, and was kicked out of the court. Church.

So when Li Tong said that he would reduce his food town and use it to build a city in Monan, Li Dan did not directly agree.Probably in Li Dan's view, this is another strategy of King Yong's retreat to prevent the imperial family from entering the court.

Regardless of whether Li Dan has such clear scruples, Li Tong thinks so.He also doesn't shy away from the fact that his mind is dirtier than his fourth uncle's, but his fourth uncle has not made up his mind to build a city in Monan, so Li Tong decided to bypass the imperial court and use his own strength to accomplish this. .

The current Turks are just a disease that is about to rot into a disaster, but if it is delayed like this without effective restrictions, once the turmoil breaks out again in the Northeast Khitan and other Hu tribes, it will be even more neglected, and the north will be delayed. return to stability.

The rapid external expansion of the Taizong and Gaozong dynasties has indeed shaped the Tang Dynasty's reputation as the number one in the region.However, the overly broad regulatory policy accompanied by such rapid expansion has also planted countless thunderstorms for Datang in the surrounding areas.

Especially the conquest against Goguryeo, although the regime was destroyed, it did not establish effective rule in the region, which also made the Northeast Hulu the biggest threat to the Central Plains Empire for thousands of years.

Of course, it doesn't mean that this kind of practice is a great achievement and a military force. In the final analysis, the descendants are not up to date and failed to keep the family business.Mergers are easy but cohesion is difficult. One generation has the responsibility of one generation. Some people are responsible for conquering the world, while others need to defend the country and not lose an inch of land. This is a bottom line that Li Tong set for himself.

In the following two days, the imperial court was still discussing the resettlement of Daibei Dao's army, and finally initially drafted a compromise strategy, which was to recall [-] soldiers to serve as supplementary guards, and the rest would be scattered in the territory of Hedong Dao. Take a rest, and then join the border states to supplement defense in the spring of next year.

As for Li Tong's private proposal with his fourth uncle to build a city in Monan, it was not discussed in the court council at all.

Li Tong felt quite helpless about this, and at the same time, he became more determined to leave the court and go it alone.Full of old things, can't afford new ideas.It was indeed right not to introduce the talents I had reserved in Kansai into the quagmire of the gods. At least it can ensure that those people are busy with their careers and don't be fooled.

After the hidden danger of the Daibei Dao army was settled, the imperial court then sent another envoy to support some of the army from crossing the river, and Li Tong no longer needed to be stationed in Mengjin.

On this day, Princess Taiping came to visit again. When she saw Li Tong for the first time, she said with a smile: "Shen Zhi has been in the army for a long time, showing his sharpness. It is really intimidating in both movement and movement."

After Li Tong heard the words, he just smiled and welcomed the aunt into the back hall. After they sat down, he was not in a hurry to speak, but just looked at Princess Taiping.

Perhaps because of the change in status, Princess Taiping felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by Li Tong, and then she said: "Before I went to the palace to meet my mother, and I came across Shangguan Yingzhi, so I found out that your grandmother entrusted the dismissal of the palace staff to Shen Zhi. .Knowing that you have a high position and a lot of work, and I happen to be busy with nothing, I also want to help you share one or two.

After all, women's hearts are always a little bit behind you men.I heard Shenzhi that you want to set up a workshop in Jinai to house those palace servants, so it's naturally well intentioned, but it's really inconvenient for those palace servants to mix with ordinary people. "

"Since grandma entrusted me with the task, I just did my best. As my aunt said, I have a lot of work to do, and it is really difficult to plan with all my heart. If my aunt is willing to share, I really wish for it."

After Li Tong heard the words, he smiled and continued: "I will always listen to my aunt if she has any ideas to help me."

When Princess Taiping heard this, her brows and eyes relaxed a little, and she asked the attendant to hand over a volume of books and presented them in front of Li Tong, and said with a smile: "Recently, I have also visited the palace servants frequently, listened carefully to their demands, and sorted out the records in the booklet. Therefore, if you agree, Shenzhi, I will arrange their own livelihoods."

Li Tong took the booklet and glanced at it, and found that most of them were female officials who had a mission.

He was not surprised by this either. People go to high places and water flows to low places. Although it is said that the female officials in the Forbidden City are just slaves in the eyes of the real dignitaries, they can more or less enjoy the benefits of being in the Forbidden City. Receive some treatment that ordinary people can't enjoy.

During the previous period, although he was not in Kinei, through the internal and external cooperation of the princess and Shangguan Wan'er, some female officials who still had family members who could go to him were sent out of Ouchi.Most of the remaining female officials had nowhere to go, but they didn't hurry to enter the market, and they had to worry about their livelihood every day, so they found Princess Taiping.

Li Tong didn't care too much about this.The reason why he took the initiative to take this matter was mainly because he had a little compassion for these palace people and reciprocated, but if they were dissatisfied with his arrangement and could go to a good place by themselves, he didn't want to interfere.

As for whether his aunt really helped these people, or used them for other purposes, they were both willing to fight and suffer, and it was not worth worrying about.

Seeing that Li Tong was so easy to talk to, Princess Taiping also breathed a sigh of relief.She was busy working in the imperial court before, but the effect was not too satisfactory. Although she tried her best to support Yang Jiaben, Duke Guan, as the general of the left guard, when she wanted to use Yang Jiaben to place personnel in the Nanya, Yang Jiaben often refused.

As a result, Princess Taiping was naturally a little dissatisfied.She also realized that with her female body, she was not as smooth as the Yong brothers when doing things positively, so she turned her mind to the inner palace.

In the list she carefully sorted out, the palace servants on it are either excellent in sex and art, or proficient in internal affairs. Some of them can be sent to the homes of ministers in the court as concubines and form a group of ministers, and some can still stay. In the inner palace, so that she can maintain enough influence in the inner palace.

Even if the emperor's heir takes office in the future and the family returns to live in Da Nei, I believe her four brothers will give her this face and continue to retain this group of palace officials.

The only regret was that Shangguan Wan'er rejected Princess Taiping's arrangement and only wanted to stay by the Holy Emperor's side.This made Princess Taiping feel that Shangguan Wan'er was a bit ignorant, but when she thought about the close relationship between this woman and King Yong's family, even if she didn't use it for herself, she didn't need to be regarded as an enemy.

After talking about this matter, Princess Taiping continued: "The situation of Daibei Dao's army has been decided, what's your opinion, Shenzhi?"

Chapter 0511 The royal family entered the dynasty, and Xijing was shocked

Of course there are opinions. Li Tong also discussed it with the prime ministers in the political affairs hall before.

There are more than [-] troops on behalf of Beidao. This time, [-] will be called into the court, and the rest will be arranged in Puzhou, Jiangzhou, Zezhou and other places along the river.Li Tong didn't intend to intervene in the [-] troops entering the court. Of course, even if he wanted to, he couldn't get in. The [-] troops were meant to check and balance him.

But this time he won the promotion of Hedong Road, and he completed the task fairly well, and of course he had to pay for it.Therefore, Li Tong still has a say in other arrangements for the army.

Although Wu Youyi, an idiot, got rid of Xue Huaiyi, he was immediately put under house arrest, which is really useless.Moreover, after Zhang Jiazhen told about her experience of going north, Li Tong felt that the situation in Bingzhou was complicated, and even if Wu Youyi was saved and arranged in Bingzhou, it might not be able to play a role.

Although Su Weiwei's camp loyalty is not high, but this time the mission was completed well, and it really needs praise, so Li Tong plans to let Su Weiwei replace Wu Youyi as the Governor's History.After all, Su Weiwei's ambiguous talent will also help to restore stability in the Bingzhou region as soon as possible.

Li Tong didn't expect Su Weiwei to stick to him from a standpoint, but as long as he was slightly biased towards him and supported him in successfully building the three surrendered cities, it would be better than anything else.It doesn't matter whether you are loyal or treacherous, as long as you have the ability and can do meritorious service, you are a good comrade.

As for Wu Youyi, Li Tong planned to take him to Guanzhong.After all, Wu Youyi has stayed in Xijing for a while, and has a good understanding of the local human situation. He can help him dig out the marrow of the nobles in Guanlong and empty their homes. building.

What surprised Li Tong was that Zhang Jiazhen reported that all the marching chiefs showed different degrees of affection for him through Zhang Jiazhen. Among them, those with a clear attitude, such as Qi Biming, were exactly the talents Li Tong urgently needed right now.

Li Tong deeply felt that military talents were more rare than political talents.Compared with the latter, the former is rarer and more untraceable. Even if you dig and cultivate it yourself, the cost is higher.Li Tong understood the truth that one general was incompetent and exhausted to death.

During the Wu Zhou Dynasty, the political situation was reshuffled several times, and every two or three years, the characters on the stage changed a lot.However, the iteration of talents in the military is relatively slow. After a general like Cheng Wuting has been eliminated, there has been no option to replace him for a long time.

Leaving aside the famous generals who are sure to conquer and win battles, even if they are mediocre talents, it is not easy to discover and cultivate them.In the early Tang Dynasty, Jiangmen was a more stubborn existence than the aristocratic family.
