There are many factors that make up a family.
Reputation, relationships, potential, inheritance, etc. are all indispensable.
However, Yang Guang, who is the largest aristocratic family in the world, knows deeply: the foundation of the aristocratic family, and even the entire world, to put it bluntly, only has two points!
Food and people!
Therefore, after he extorted countless money and food from the family, he immediately extended his big hand to their people.
"Those soldiers from the south are not suitable for fighting in the northern climate. In order to keep the Jin Ou intact and unify the world, no matter how hard Shandong suffers, it wouldn't be wronged to send more people, right?"
Yang Guang said this at the beginning.
Drive others with national justice!
I have to say that Yang Guang’s strategy is perfect!
After all, those pretentious Shandong aristocratic families have always shouted slogans for their family, country and world!
If they reject Yang Guang's righteousness this time, the reputation and inheritance that support their existence will immediately disappear and cease to exist!
The consequences of this are really too serious! It’s so serious that all the family leaders can’t bear it!
Poems should be passed down from generation to generation, but if leftover poems are disrespectful, how can they be passed down from generation to generation?
How can a family that has no faith and is despised by the world continue to stand in this world that values prestige so much?
Therefore, in addition to money and food, the noble families gave in once again!
After receiving the order, countless children from aristocratic families rushed to the battlefield to fight for the country!
Although many years have passed since this scene, Li Yuan still can't help but feel terrified when he thinks about it now!
Tens of thousands of men from aristocratic families who knew the art of war and knew how to advance and retreat appeared in front of the formation like this! How glorious is this formation?
And the impact these people have has is even more terrifying! So much so that Yang Guang, the proud son of heaven, wanted to conquer them personally and use his throne to suppress them!
Li Yuan is still thinking: If Yang Guang had succeeded in conquering Liaodong, he would definitely have wiped out all dissidents with the power of victory! Let the whole world become his world.
As for myself, I am afraid that like those aristocratic families whose vitality has been severely damaged, they will be completely swept into the garbage heap of history.
However, imagination is only imagination after all. The proud Yang Guang forgot: There is a saying in this world that a wise man will make a mistake after thinking a lot!
Being so arrogant, he would never have thought that those families would not be willing to surrender like this! At the same time, they also have the strength to resist!
Even if you don’t tell what happens next, others will know:
Yang Guang's three expeditions to Goguryeo failed! From then on, the world was in chaos, and all the heroes came together! And he, Li Yuan, became the final winner among all people, replacing his cousin and ascending to the throne of the emperor!
However, the world only knows that the three campaigns against Goguryeo failed, but why did this world-wide war fail? But few people study it carefully!
And Li Yuan only got a glimpse of it after he ascended the throne and read countless top-secret texts.
The fundamental reason for Yang Guang's first failure was not the failure to protect his children, nor the bad weather in Liaodong. It was just that at the critical moment of the Sui army's attack, the logistics chain suddenly broke, the food and grass were insufficient, the food was hungry and cold, and he had no intention to fight!
And this part of the food and grass mentioned in the text is precisely the supply of the family!
After the first failure, Yang Guang did not settle down and carefully search for loopholes, but immediately launched the second sign!
This time, just when the Sui army was about to capture the royal city of Goguryeo, another change occurred: Yang Xuangan in Guanzhong happened to rebel at this juncture!
And this Yang Xuangan is inextricably linked to the family.
Through these two coincidental events, Li Yuan had a terrible idea in his mind!
Yang Guang's defeat was due to his own arrogance, but also because there were people in the world who didn't want him to win!
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has returned..."
Li Yuan didn't know how long he had been meditating. He didn't wake up from his meditation until the personal maid came over and called softly.
After turning his sore neck with difficulty, Li Yuan looked at the empty room and suddenly coughed twice toward the curtain behind the bed.
"His Majesty!"
Along with Li Yuan's cough, a man whose face could not be seen appeared quietly somewhere. When the maid saw the man appearing, she immediately shuddered, walked aside quickly and knelt on the ground, not daring to raise her head again. .
"Ahem, go check and see if what the prince said is true!" Li Yuan didn't pay attention to the maid's actions, but coughed and ordered.
"Here!" Hearing this, the man cupped his hands and immediately turned around and disappeared behind the curtain without saying anything.
At this time, the night is already dark!
The cold moonlight shines into the room through the window paper, making Li Yuan's face look particularly pale. It's not clear what he is thinking at this time. Anyway, his hands have never relaxed again.
Not long after, the man who just left came back.
What was different from last time was that this time he was holding a few pieces of letter paper full of small-script calligraphy in his hands.
"Your Majesty! By reading the letters written by the military spies, I learned that there are two things related to what the prince said." The man held the letter and knelt down in front of Li Yuan and said.
Li Yuan lowered his head and glanced at the letter. His hands trembled slightly, but he did not pick up the thin pieces of paper.
"What's going on?" Li Yuan asked slowly, closing his eyes.
The man looked up at Li Yuan and said in a crisp voice: "First, the second prince's general, Cheng Yaojin, has newly married a woman who is the direct descendant of Fan Yang's Lu family!
Secondly, in Luoyang, after the second prince defeated Dou Jiande, he purged and recruited his officials. Among them, the two people whom the second prince recruited and valued were Qi Shanxing and Zheng Yuanshou! This Zheng Yuanshou was from the Zheng family in Xingyang. "
"Yes!" Li Yuan nodded noncommittally, then pointed at the letter and asked, "Besides, has Erlang ever had contact with these two families?"
The man thought for a moment and shook his head: "My subordinates have not received any information about this."
"Okay!" Li Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hand tiredly: "Just step back. If you find anything, report it immediately without delay!"
"Here!" The man handed over his hands, then stood up and left.
"Wait!" Li Yuan called the man again. After pondering for a moment, he slowly told the man: "You must not only pay attention to the King of Qin, but also pay more attention to the Prince!"
"Here!!" The man took the order again, paused for a while, and seeing that Li Yuan had no intention of calling him back this time, he left quietly.
Watching the man disappear into the room, Li Yuan slowly stood up and walked step by step to where he was sleeping.
"Hey, the throne, the throne!"
With a final sigh, Li Yuan fell heavily on the sleeping platform, and a moment later, he could hear snoring.
Seeing this, the personal maid who had been sitting on the side without daring to raise her head quickly got up and came over, pulled the curtain for him, blew out the candle, and the whole room was plunged into darkness.
