Chapter 1 Winning the Championship (Part I)


The spring rain is dripping.

From the day of the beginning of spring to Xiaoman, there is a game every three or five days, and it has almost never been delayed.

In the fields, on the hillsides, the layers of green are moistened by the rain, like taking a paintbrush to it, full of vitality.

On the banks of the river, beside the canals, wheat, grain, peppers, rice, and the roots on which the households depend for their survival have also absorbed enough water and grown luxuriantly and strongly.

In the sky, under the white clouds, thrushes, orioles, swallows, cuckoos, flocks come and go, chanting and singing, announcing the arrival of a good year.

It's a rare good year.

The weather warmed early, the rain was sufficient, and there were fewer insects in the fields.

What's even more rare is that with the successive rise of heroes such as Dou Jiande, Li Yuan, Li Mi, Xiao Xian, Du Fuwei, etc., those small fortresses that used to crisscross everywhere were extinguished, scattered, and surrendered, and there was no time to go out of the mountains to harm the people.

In order to compete for the hearts of the people and prepare for the future championship, heroes from all walks of life have launched a series of good policies that are beneficial to the people.

The common people of the Central Plains are the least likely to hold grudges, as long as you give them a way to live, they will easily forget your original deeds.

In other words, whether you were a bandit or a high-ranking official, they didn't care too much.

As long as you collect less land and less market tax now, and then restrain your brothers to stop robbing men and women at will, you will be the blue sky lord of the people.

They are willing to worship you from generation to generation, and worship you as the true son of the dragon Except for the fields in front of them and the officials sent by the princes above their heads, the people rarely cared about what was happening in Jiangnan and outside the Saiwai.

One is because the distance is too far, the thunder and rain and dew can't be shared on everyone's heads, crying or laughing is someone else's business, and the other is because the news spreads slowly, and the merchants are almost cut off after many years of war and chaos, and what happened elsewhere has reached their own doorstep, it has long been late for three springs, and care is also blind care, there is that idle time, it is better to go to Changle Wang, Tang Wang, Zheng Wang, which prince in the autumn, he has to take back some capital to borrow other people's grain in the spring, Farm tools are not borrowed for nothing.

It is necessary to pay attention to borrowing and repaying, and it is advantageous to have this.

Although the newly appointed officials and gentlemen all laughed like bodhisattvas, we can't always know how to lift up, and we have to make people turn their faces Compared with the simple and easy-to-satisfy minds of the ordinary people, the local wealthy families and scholars recall the months from the winter of the thirteenth year of the Great Cause to the summer of the fourteenth year of the Great Cause, but they feel too thrilling.

At first, the Turks gathered troops to the south, and there was a great momentum of repeating the Wuhu Rebellion.

But before everyone could decide whether to escape with their families, or stay in order to obey the order, Li Zhongjian, the commander of the Boling Army, had already taken his own soldiers to the Great Wall.

For Li Zhongjian's stubbornness and foolish loyalty, many people scoffed at him in private.

"Mantis arm blocking the car, he still thinks that he is the original champion general, just with the strength of the six counties of Boling, why should he block the 400,000 wolf horses of the Ashina family" To everyone's expectations, the laughter did not fall, the soldiers and horses of Tang King Li Yuan, the subordinates of Dou Jiande, the king of Changle, the township Yong of Wang Cong of Hejian County, the minions of Chi Derui of Weizhou, the iron cavalry of Luo Yi of Youzhou, on the northern land, all of them had a name, those who had no name, those who had surrendered to the Turks, and the heroes of the rivers and lakes who did not share the sky with the Turks, all of them had killed at the foot of the Great Wall.

After a fierce battle in ping-pong, the blood flowed and the pestle flowed, but the wolf rider finally failed to cross the Great Wall by half a step "It seems that the Great Sui is not exhausted" Hearing the good news from the north, many gentry and virtuous people secretly pondered in their hearts.

But before the excitement of the good news had passed, the bad news came from the south.

The Yuwen family, who was most valued by His Majesty the Great Sui Emperor, rebelled and killed Emperor Yang Guang of Sui, Yang Xiu, King of Shu, Yang Xian, King of Qi and other imperial relatives.

Under the cover of the nest, how can there be a complete egg chaos, the internal history of Lang Yu Shiji, the imperial historian Pei Yun, the left Yiwei general Lai Hu'er, the secretary and supervisor Yuan Chong, the right Yiwei general Yu Wenxie, Qianniu Yu Wenxi, Liang Gong Xiao Ju and other powerful ministers and nobles are all confused and lose their heads.

Although as early as two or three years ago, Yang Guang, the emperor of the Great Sui, became an ornament.

But there is such an arrangement and there is no such decoration, after all, there is still a gap.

When Yang Guang was alive, although the family and the children of the scholars slandered him, thinking that he was a rare faint monarch in ancient and modern times, as long as he lived, everyone could continue to live in a daze, and there was no need to rush to stand in line.

Now that Yang Guang is dead, it is equivalent to taking off the blindfold that everyone used to deceive themselves at the end.

Everyone looked up and saw that there was a king in the west as the emperor, the king of Qin as the son of heaven in the south, and the king of Yue in the east wearing a dragon robe.

In the end, no one can say which one is the true son of heaven and which one is the second minister of the rebel son.

But the only thing that is clear is that the three Great Sui Emperors have no real power, and Li Yuan, Yu Wenhua and Wang Shichong behind them are the real knife catchers.

Note 1 If you just have to face three knife catchers, there is more than one talent in a wealthy family.

Bet evenly in three directions, just like the Zhuge family in the Three Kingdoms era, there is always a time to get it right.

But now, in addition to Li Yuan, Yu Wenhua and Wang Shichong, there are more than 20 princes of all sizes active in the land of the Great Sui, such as Li Rail, Dou Jiande, Du Fuwei, and Xue Ju.

This can make the families who like to bet long dumbfounded.

No matter how many talents there are in the clan, it is not enough for so many "True Dragon Sons".

But if any bet is missed, and that direction is where the real king's spirit lies, it will be a big trouble, and the gambling on this table in the world is not real money, but the future of the entire family and the lives of countless children.

Bet on the right treasure, with the unification of the new son of heaven, the entire family will follow the object of assistance.

However, once the wrong treasure is pressed, it means that there is no recovery.

Even if the new emperor is generous and doesn't trouble you, the family's land and wealth will not be able to resist the prying eyes of the successful dragons.

As long as the newly rising family waves its hand, it is only a matter of time for the old family to change its name and surname.

You can't do everything, find a few places that are most likely to win the world, and there are smart family owners who make decisions in private.

But he soon realized how unreliable his decision was.

Those sword catchers and princes from all walks of life couldn't tell the difference for a while.

According to the size of the territory and the number of troops, Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang, was originally in charge of the world.

Especially after he was supported by Li Zhongjian, the chief manager of Boling, and Luo Yi, the general manager of Youzhou, he faintly revealed the taste of who else he was.

But there was a fierce battle on the Great Wall, because the heroes of the Central Plains came together in a hurry, and they were unfamiliar with each other, resulting in heavy losses for all parties involved in the war.

Among them, especially the elite Boling under Li Zhongjian and the tiger under Luo Yi are even more so, after the first battle, the two immediately announced that they were out of the big game of chess in the competition for the world.

As one of the main forces participating in the war, the losses of the soldiers under Li Yuan's command were not small.

The eldest son Jiancheng and the second son Shimin lost nearly half of their troops, and the number of more than 100,000 women's troops under the command of the eldest daughter Wan'er who returned after the war was less than 5,000, and the rest of the soldiers and horses, including the commander Li Wan'er, the general Wang Yuantong, and Qi Poning, all turned into Qianqiu male ghosts guarding the border pass As soon as Li Yuan's strength dropped, the light immediately reappeared on the heads of the other princes.

With the solid family foundation left by Zhai Rang and the two large granaries of Shangluo and Liyang, Li Mi, the Duke of Wei, galloped on horseback and included a large area of plastered land from Wendeng in the east to Xuchang in the west.

Unwilling to let Li Mi specialize in beauty, Wang Shichong, the Duke of Zheng Guo of the Great Sui Dynasty, took the case.

With the help of the royal wealth left in the eastern capital Luoyang and a little ember of the soldiers of the Great Sui Dynasty, he fought in the east and west, first defeated Chai Shao, the general under Li Yuan, and recaptured Yiyang. followed by a heavy blow to Li Mi and took down Yanshi. actually created a vast world between the two major forces of Li Mi and Li Yuan.

Dou Jiande, the king of Changle, also refused to lag behind, and took a short rest of the soldiers and horses withdrawn from the Battle of the Great Wall, and immediately pounced on the river.

Facing the onslaught of Wang Fubao, the general of the Dou family's army, who was still an ally a few days ago, Wang Cong, the defender of Hejian County, struggled for more than two months.

It wasn't until the news of Yang Guang's killing came that he finally gave up the idea of keeping a festival for the Great Sui, and ordered the general to open the city gate and dedicate half of Hejian County in his hand to Dou Jiande.

After taking most of Hejian County, Dou Jiande had to look at Shu and tentatively stretched his tentacles to the west.

As a result, on the outskirts of Boye County on the west bank of the Hutuo River, he "accidentally" encountered thousands of remnants under Li Zhongjian's command, and was hit by the other party and broke his blood.

Thanks to Wang Fubao's timely rescue, he was able to retreat with his whole body, and did not throw out half of Hejian County that had just arrived.

Dou Jiande's expansion was blocked, and the strength of Li Yuan and Li Zhongjian's uncle and nephew once again impressed everyone.

Their uncles and nephews are like hundred-legged insects, dead but not stiff.

And the other princes north of the Yellow River are a swarm of ants, united enough to devour the giant elephant.

For a time, the forces in the north and south of the Yellow River actually formed a short-term stalemate.

No one can swallow anyone, and no one can destroy anyone. can only suppress their ambitions first, withdraw the fists they have fought one after another, and secretly work both internal affairs and elite soldiers.

The heroes on both sides of the Yellow River were stirred into a pot of porridge, how could the heroes on both sides of the Yangtze River stand by and watch taking advantage of the chaos caused by Yang Guang's killing, Luoxian Haojie Xiao Milling was proclaimed emperor in Yueyang, and the country name was Daliang.

Immediately, he went south with the army of the whole country, conquered Hanyang, Zhuya and other places, and his strength reached Jiaozhi, and the strength expanded to 400,000.

Almost at the same time as Xiao Milling attacked the city and plundered the land, Jianghuai Haojie Du Fuwei broke Gaoyou, occupied Liyang, and called himself the head of the southeast of the Great Sui.

With his friend Fu Gongqi as the long history, the righteous son Wang Xiong was born as a general, exterminated more than 100 green forest heroes entrenched in various parts of the Jianghuai River, and killed more than 30 surnames of Haoqiang, making the weather on both sides of the Huai River new.

Inspired by Du Fuwei, Yu Wenhua and killed Haoqiang in Jiangdu to raise military funds, and Wang Shichong removed the ministers in the eastern capital and copied his home to fill the treasury.

Li Yuan raised salaries for his soldiers in Chang'an, destroyed more than 20 palaces, and killed more than 40 former ministers of the Great Sui.

In an instant, many heads who were still hesitating and waiting to see had already rolled to the ground before they could figure out the general trend of the world.

Strange to say, when these families, which were regarded as the pillars of the country by the world, collapsed one after another, the Central Plains, which was riddled with holes, regained its vitality Note 1: The Xiongnu envoy visited Cao Cao, and Cao Cao felt that he was too good to see people, so he ordered the beautiful man to make Cui Ji Guidai, and he pretended to be a guard to catch a knife and stand at the head of the bed.

After the end, the spy asked: "How is the King of Wei?"

The Hun envoy replied: "The King of Wei is very hopeful, but the person who catches the knife at the head of the bed is also a hero." ”:
