Chapter 869 Luo Su enters Luoyang, Li Shimin meets Luo Su!
The night was as dark as ink, with stars all over it. It was completely silent, with no sound of cicadas or insects. It was dozens of miles outside Hulao Pass.
When Luo Su's carriage arrived here, he looked in the direction of Hulao Pass with a slight smile on his face, as if he saw something very interesting.
Luo Xuanxing also looked at the pitch-black invisible space and asked in confusion: "Grandfather, what are you looking at? I don't see anything."
Luo Su patted Luo Xuanxing on the head and chuckled, "Of course you can't see it. I'm looking at the future. The emperor's crown will rise from there, Hulao Pass."
Son of Heaven.
Luo Xuanxing was solemn.
The ancestors could speak so easily about the emperor, but they could not. Maintaining the utmost respect for the emperor would be necessary for the survival of the family.
At least until the family regains possession of the artifact that decides life and death, they should keep a low profile.
Luo Xuanxing knew that Luo Su was talking about Dou Jiande and Li Shimin, “Ancestor, Qin Wang Li Shimin and Zhao Wang Dou Jiande fought desperately at Hulao Pass.
If Li Shimin wins, Li Yuan will be promoted to emperor and Li Jiancheng will be the crown prince.
Since ancient times, many generals who fought on the battlefield have died in power struggles. Why do you think Li Shimin will definitely win in the end?
If Dou Jiande had won, the Tang Dynasty would still have Hedong, Shuzhong, and Guanzhong, and would not necessarily have been defeated. The Zhao State would not necessarily have been able to seize the world. This is what I don’t understand.”
Luo Su sighed upon hearing this, and then said softly: "Axing, you have read too many books, but you have never traveled thousands of miles to see the world, so your thinking is limited to the past eras, so you have such doubts.
Let me tell you a few things and you can think about them yourself.
Li Tang started his rebellion in Jinyang and took control of Hedong and Guanzhong in about eight months. This control was not just a military conquest, but also the establishment of a taxation system and actual control.
Longxi and Liangzhou, which were once ruled by Xue Ju and Li Gui of Western Qin, completely surrendered to the Tang Dynasty after being conquered in one battle, and there was no sign of rebellion.
A naturally separatist place like Shuzhong would actually surrender to the Tang Dynasty instead of choosing to split itself.
Since the Tang army entered the Central Plains, most cities did not need to be attacked, and the governors of Zheng State rose up in rebellion and submitted to the Tang Dynasty.
Let's talk about Liu Wuzhou's rebellion. He marched south from Mayi and occupied almost the entire Hedong in just a few months. The provincial governors, county magistrates, powerful people, prominent families, and gentry who had been loyal to the Tang Dynasty all became Liu Wuzhou's loyal subjects.
After Li Shimin killed Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang in one battle, these people became ministers of the Tang Dynasty again.
Wang Shichong and Li Mi were fighting in the Central Plains. Their territories kept changing, but the local governors did not move. Whoever came over would surrender.
The reason Dou Jiande was able to take possession of vast tracts of land in Hebei so quickly was that he almost never attacked cities. As long as he had the advantage and the winning position in a field battle, the provincial governors, county magistrates, and garrison commanders who occupied the fortified cities would rise up and welcome the royal army.
The same is true for the rest of the states and counties. Almost everyone has served as a minister to several people. Seeing these phenomena, do you realize that there was something wrong with your previous thinking?"
Luo Xuanxing was shocked.
Starlight sprinkled on his face. He opened his mouth and said with difficulty: "People's hearts are like flowing water and reeds, swaying in the wind. Strong cities and dangerous passes are difficult to defend. The victorious army will pass through and the city will be opened. The loser will have no chance to rebuild the old country!"
Luo Su's face showed no expression, he nodded calmly and said: "That's it, the social atmosphere has changed, how many times have the monarchs changed over the years?
Even though you killed Yang Guang, not many people wanted to fight you. On the contrary, they were intimidated by you, which greatly increased the reputation of my Luo family.
For most people, changing the king is not a difficult thing to accept. This is not the Zhou Dynasty or the Han Dynasty, but the Sui Dynasty, where the flags on the city walls changed frequently for hundreds of years.
Although we do not follow this trend, if we still view the world in the same way as before, failure will be the only outcome for our family."
Luo Xuanxing accepted the instruction and said no more.
…
Outside Hulao Pass, blood was flowing everywhere and corpses were lying everywhere. They were all corpses of Zhao army. Despite days of fierce attacks, Hulao Pass remained unmoved.
Inside the pass, feeling the increasingly hot weather, Li Shimin knew that the time for a decisive battle had come.
He sat at the head of the group, looking at his advisers and generals, and said in a full and vigorous voice: "The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the soldiers cannot stand in formation under the sun for long. I want him, Dou Jiande, to stand in formation.
Spread the news that I will lead my troops to harvest fodder on the bank of the Yellow River to attract Dou Jiande to fight. He has been attacking for a long time and has been unable to take the city. He will know that my army is about to leave the city and will definitely lead his troops to come.
Then our army can wait for an opportunity to attack!"
Li Shimin has been in power for so many years. Unlike Han Xin, a military genius whose moves are like antelopes hanging on horns and cannot be traced, his tactics are all about consumption. This consumption is not only in terms of food and fodder, but also in terms of psychological fatigue and fear of the future.
And he himself is the most tolerant person.
During the hard battle in Luoyang, many people advised him to withdraw his troops, including veteran generals like Qu Tutong, but he thought that the limit had not yet been reached. If they were to engage in actual combat, people like Qu Tutong would never be his opponents.
After endless patience, as long as the enemy showed the slightest flaw, Li Shimin would kill them completely with thunderous force without giving them any chance.
He destroyed Xue Ju of Western Qin and, after defeating him, pursued him for 200 miles. This move was extremely rare in the history of war, because traditional military books said that one should not pursue an enemy who is desperate.
He destroyed Song Jingang and Liu Wuzhou without eating for two days and without taking off his armor for three days, never missing a single opportunity. Now, he wants to repeat the same trick. After wearing down Dou Jiande's will, he wants to take Dou Jiande away in one battle!
After all the counselors and generals spoke, Li Shimin stood up and made a final summary: "Dou Jiande was born as a low-ranking officer of the Sui Dynasty. He thinks he knows military affairs, but in fact he has only eliminated bandits in Hebei and has never fought against the elite troops of our Tang Dynasty. His attack on Hulao Pass is a contempt for our army, which will be the root of his defeat.
The army will be organized tomorrow. "
As Li Shimin expected, as the siege became more and more intense, Dou Jiande became a little anxious. He wanted to have a decisive battle with Li Shimin, but Li Shimin did not move. This made him begin to doubt whether his previous choice was wrong. At this time, news finally came that there was a shortage of fodder for feeding horses in Hulao Pass, which made Dou Jiande breathe a sigh of relief.
This is normal!
Some of Zhao's counselors and generals might have felt that something was wrong, but they couldn't put their finger on it, because it was normal for the Tang army to lack fodder, and it was normal to intercept each other's information during war.
The news Zhao State received about the Tang army was not this one.
The most important thing is that even if this news is false, it doesn’t matter. The Tang army will not leave the city, just like in the past. If they leave the city, it will be exactly what Dou Jiande wants.
The Zhao army lined up outside Hulao Pass. The surging Yellow River and Sishui River had waves and the sound of waves crashing against the shore was endless, but it was not as loud as the sound of drums from the Zhao army.
The so-called beating of drums gathers the troops and using sound to attract people. Drum beats advance and horns are sounded to call back the troops. In an era when communication relied entirely on shouting, the orderly sound of drums was the most important tool for commanding the army.
With an army of 100,000 men lined up in battle formation, their might was truly overwhelming. Li Shimin knew at a glance that it was right for him not to attack. The Tang army generals looked at them with fear. They had only a few thousand men, while the Zhao army was thirty times their number. It was no easy task to defeat a larger force with a smaller one.
Li Shimin stood on the mountain and looked at Dou Jiande's army, but he was not panicked at all. Instead, he pointed at Dou Jiande's army and asked with a smile: "Qingyang, how do you think we can defeat Dou Jiande's army?"
Luo Xuanye said casually: "The weather is really hot. Since Dou Jiande has arranged his troops, let him get some sun and sweat. If he can't replenish salt after sweating, even the most elite soldiers will become weak."
Li Shimin burst into laughter upon hearing this, "Then let them get some sun!"
As time gradually approached noon, the Tang army still did not appear. The discipline of the Zhao army was not as strong as that of the Tang army, and the formation was already in chaos.
Luo Xuanyun walked out of the tent during a break in the court meeting and saw this scene. The heat wave rolled over but could not bring him even a little bit of warmth.
Almost instantly, a chill rushed from his tailbone to the top of his head, making him feel as if he was falling into a cold river or facing the abyss.
He turned and walked into the tent. When Dou Jiande was about to greet him, he shouted, "King Zhao, our army is in chaos, and some soldiers are even fighting for water.
The weather is hot, and the Tang army is not moving. This is a deliberate attempt to wear down our army's morale. Please withdraw your troops quickly, King Zhao, otherwise there will be trouble in the future!"
Dou Jiande laughed loudly upon hearing this and said, "Ziyun, our army has 100,000 soldiers, while the Tang army only has a few thousand. Is Li Shimin, the Prince of Qin, so bold as to attack my camp?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the overwhelming sound of horse hooves outside the tent, followed by deafening shouts of killing.
Dou Jiande jumped up from the ground with a start. Luo Xuanyun's face looked extremely ugly. The Zhao ministers who were holding a court meeting in the tent opened the tent and saw that the Zhao army was already in chaos.
The Tang cavalry charged indiscriminately into the Zhao army. Although the Zhao army had a large number of troops, its command system had been completely paralyzed. The elite troops were still able to fight on their own, but the rest of the non-elite troops scattered like birds and beasts.
Dou Jiande never expected that the Tang army would actually dare to attack his camp, and the Zhao army seemed so vulnerable. With only a few thousand people, they actually broke into the camp of tens of thousands of people and could not even guarantee their own safety.
Luo Xuanyun came to Dou Jiande without hesitation and said, "King Zhao, the army is in chaos now. The most urgent task is to leave here immediately and reorganize the army, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."
Dou Jiande wanted to reorganize his army, but the Tang army would not give him a chance. A thousand black-armored soldiers had already arrived, and the panicked court officials dodged everywhere. The Tang army generals jumped on their horses and raised their spears, landing in front of the Zhao army's monarch and his officials like gods.
He is tall, wearing imposing armor, riding a mighty horse, looking around with a sharp gaze, holding a lance in his hand, shining with a cold light, and exuding a strong murderous aura. With the lances flying everywhere, no one can block a single blow from him. The holy mark between his eyebrows is shining brightly. The man is none other than Luo Xuanye!
Dou Jiande had met Luo Xuanye before, but he never expected that they would meet again at this time. Luo Xuanyun felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. He screamed loudly, "King Zhao, run away! My fifth brother is as brave as King Jin Lu Bu. I can't stop him!"
King Lu Bu of Jin is the strongest person among the various kingdoms in the late Han Dynasty except for Zhang Jiao. Zhang Jiao has become a myth, while Lu Bu is the best in the world. Using Lu Bu to describe Luo Xuanye, one can imagine how powerful Luo Xuanye is.
Luo Xuanye naturally saw Luo Xuanyun. Grief flashed across his eyes, and then he shouted, "Dou Jiande, surrender and I will spare your life!"
This was not to save Dou Jiande's life, but to save his brother's life. If Dou Jiande died, it would be difficult for Luo Xuanyun and Luo Xuanzhao to join the Tang Dynasty. Only if Dou Jiande was alive could Luo Xuanyun and Luo Xuanzhao follow Dou Jiande into the Tang Dynasty.
The reason why Luo Xuanyun and Luo Xuanzhao surrendered to Dou Jiande, the benevolent and righteous leader, was because Dou Jiande was tolerant and would not kill Li Shimin even if he gained the world.
I can only say that we are truly brothers, as we think the same things.
Luo Xuanye, with his trained guards, protected Dou Jiande as he fled wildly, and behind him were the Hebei heroes who struggled to resist Luo Xuanye.
Dou Jiande's propaganda of benevolence and righteousness in Hebei Province had a great effect in the end, and many of his subordinates were willing to die for him.
Dou Jiande was injured in the chaos, but he did not dare to stop for a moment. Luo Xuanyun gritted his teeth and said, "King Zhao, judging from the current situation, a great defeat in this battle is inevitable. We must escape back to Handan as soon as possible.
"My second brother is doing business in Handan, and we still have the vast Hebei province to rely on. We still have a chance if we prepare our troops!"
The most important reason why Luo Xuanyun said this was that Dou Jiande, as the lord, was being chased to the point where he had no way out and could not organize the Zhao army to counterattack at all.
Now the Zhao army is fighting on its own, and it seems that it can temporarily stop the attack of the Tang army, but the people's morale has been scattered and there is no cohesion. Defeat is only a matter of time.
…
Li Shimin led the charge. The Qingzhui horse under his crotch was hit by three arrows, but he still moved forward. Luo Xuanye was not there, so Luo Xuanling followed closely beside him and blocked all the arrows that were stabbed and shot at Li Shimin.
Qin Shubao, Li Daoxuan, Xu Shiji, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Gong and others led the Black Armor Army like an arrow shot from a bow. No one could stop the charge of these tens of thousands of enemies.
"Where is Qingyang?"
Li Shimin looked around but didn't see Luo Xuanye, so he asked loudly. Luo Xuanling replied loudly: "King Qin, the fifth brother went to chase Dou Jiande!"
Chasing Dou Jiande?
Upon hearing this, Li Shimin immediately shouted, "Follow me, all the generals, and charge forward to break through the Zhao army's formation!"
Breaking through the large formation was a very terrifying thing, especially when the Tang army's flag was lit up behind the Zhao army. For the Zhao army, which was already like a headless fly, the army was defeated almost instantly. Not to mention an army of 100,000, even if it was a million, under such circumstances, they would have no choice but to disperse.
Li Shimin pursued the enemy without stopping, although the Tang army was small in number and could not kill many people.
During the pursuit, only a few thousand people were killed by the Tang army, but Li Shimin's goal had been achieved.
The entire Zhao army's command system was completely destroyed. Even if Han Xin were still alive, it would be impossible for him to integrate the Zhao army.
The people Li Shimin wanted to kill were all the big figures in the Zhao army. He would earn one point for every kill of these people.
The most important thing was to guard the Yellow River ferry, cut off Dou Jiande's way back to Hebei, and bury him in Henan.
…
On the banks of the Yellow River, the river flows endlessly like a giant golden dragon, carrying mud and sand with it.
In the afternoon light, it seems to be shining with golden light. This great river has given birth to countless lives on both sides of the river.
Hebei and Henan are divided into two by the river. The largest plain in Guandong is here. No, it should be said that the largest plain in the world is here. Compared with this plain, the Guanzhong Plain is really much smaller.
But at this moment, the bank of the Yellow River was filled with murderous intent. Luo Xuanyun took Dou Jiande all the way to the ferry crossing the Yellow River, intending to cross the river and return to Hebei.
But Luo Xuanye followed them all the way and would not give them this opportunity. Dou Jiande was injured and in unbearable pain, but he still forced himself not to cry out. He was unwilling to lose his last dignity in front of Luo Xuanyun.
Listening to the majestic sound of the Yellow River and looking at Dou Jiande in front of him, Luo Xuanye felt that the blood in his body was rumbling.
"Ayun, surrender!"
Luo Xuanye said in a deep voice. Luo Xuanyun looked at his brother who was riding on the horse with a stern face and a fierce aura. He also looked at Dou Jiande who was trying to endure the pain beside him. He took a deep breath, rode forward, thrust his spear, and shouted, "Fifth brother!"
"It was you who taught me how to wield the horse lance, and it was you who said that my talent was better than that of my sixth brother. Please test my talent and see what it is!"
The spear came out like a dragon, and the lance was laid across. Luo Xuanyun poured all his energy into the lance. This was the benevolence and righteousness of Hebei, which made him feel spiritual in his heart and powerful in his hands.
Please give me some advice, brother!
Luo Xuanye, however, arrived first, with the lance in his hand like a phantom. Even Qin Shubao was weaker than him. Yuchi Gong, who was extremely skilled in using the lance, was convinced by Luo Xuanye.
In today's world, Luo Xuanye's military power is like Lu Bu's.
Luo Xuanyun only felt waves of despair. Luo Xuanye's horse lance was like a densely woven net, suppressing him. After who knows how many moves, the horse lance in his hand flew out.
He also flew out.
Behind Luo Xuanye, teams of Tang cavalry appeared. If it weren't for Luo Xuanye, perhaps Luo Xuanyun could have broken out of the siege, but this was impossible.
The last light in Dou Jiande's eyes disappeared, and he looked at the Yellow River with some bitterness.
Looking at the other side of the Yellow River, that is his world, just separated by a river, but it seems that he can never go back.
"Master Xuan Ye, I surrender!"
The pain in Dou Jiande's heart was beyond words. He looked at Luo Xuanyun who could hardly stand, and the corpse lying on the ground. He was completely unable to breathe. He felt that one foot was deep and the other was shallow.
Everything seemed like a dream. All his efforts in the past ten years were fake. His fame in Hebei was fake. His founding of a country and becoming king was fake. Everything was fake. Now that he had woken up from the dream, he had to face the reality.
The feeling of falling from the extreme peak into the bottomless abyss in an instant made him feel extremely painful.
Luo Xuanye ordered his men to come forward and tie up Dou Jiande.
He breathed a sigh of relief. It was over, everything was over. The outcome of this battle was simply too perfect.
Just as Luo Xuanyun said that there would still be a chance as long as Dou Jiande escaped back to Hebei, if Yuan Benchu had not died early, there might still be a chance.
If Dou Jiande had not been captured in this battle, the Tang Dynasty would have had to send troops to Hebei for another battle, but now it can be said that Hebei was conquered in one battle.
When Luo Xuanye brought the tied-up Dou Jiande to see Li Shimin, Li Shimin smiled and said, "When I heard that you were going to chase Dou Jiande, I knew you would bring him back."
Li Shimin, still full of youthful spirit, looked at Dou Jiande and said jokingly, "I am attacking Wang Shichong, why are you here to join in the fun?
Ending up as a prisoner was not my intention, but a punishment from God.
King Zhao, don’t you agree?
The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. What else can Dou Jiande say after the situation has come to this?
Li Shimin had no intention of killing Dou Jiande. He had already begun to think about using Dou Jiande to make Hebei submit.
Dou Jiande saw the high-spirited Li Shimin, looked deeply at the young man, and said something that Li Shimin did not expect, "The Emperor Su Wang protected me, but he protected you more, and this is the reason for my failure.
I am a natural born king, but you are a natural born emperor. It is not unfair for me to lose to you."
This was a compliment, but it seemed to be sincere from Dou Jiande's perspective. However, Li Shimin's expression changed slightly when he heard it, and everyone in the Prince of Qin's Mansion narrowed their eyes.
This is something that everyone knows. Li Shimin had never thought about it at the beginning, but it is impossible for Li Shimin now not to have his eyes on the throne.
How could Li Shimin accept it if he couldn't become the emperor of the Tang Dynasty!
The uprising in Jinyang was Li Yuan's achievement.
By defeating Xue Ju, Li Shimin saved the Tang Dynasty for the first time.
After defeating Liu, Wu, Zhou, and Song, Li Shimin saved the Tang Dynasty for the second time.
At Hulao Pass in Luoyang, Dou Jiande was captured, Wang Shichong was doomed to fail, Henan and Hebei were decided in one battle, and the Tang Dynasty had almost unified the world.
If Li Shimin could not become the next emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he would be extremely frustrated even if he died.
Li Shimin was silent for a moment, then he laughed loudly and said, "The destiny of the world, my father has the destiny, so my Tang Dynasty can be invincible. I can win every battle because of my father's destiny. I will bring you to Chang'an and let you see what it means to be the master of destiny."
When Dou Jiande was captured, no one in the Tang army humiliated him. Although they were enemies before, Dou Jiande was kind and righteous and had a good reputation.
The most crucial thing is that Dou Jiande had treated Li Tang's prisoners of war with great courtesy before. Li Shentong, Xu Shiji, Li Yuan's sister, and when Dou Jiande captured Li Tang's high-ranking dignitaries, he did not even put them in prison, but only placed them under house arrest.
Everyone thought that after Dou Jiande entered Chang'an, he would be placed under house arrest at most. Even Dou Jiande's son would be granted the title of duke to appease the people of Hebei.
By the time the grandchildren come to power, they will basically be able to enter the officialdom normally.
Not to mention Dou Jiande who never proclaimed himself emperor, even Xiao Yu, a legitimate prince, was able to hold high positions in the Sui and Tang dynasties. In that era, this kind of status was not particularly valued.
Li Shimin put Dou Jiande in a prison car to intimidate Wang Shichong. After seeing Dou Jiande being captured, the desperate Wang Shichong finally left the city and surrendered.
At this point, the tortuous war in the Central Plains finally came to an end.
…
Luo Su and Luo Xuanxing, who had been following the Battle of Hulao, were silent when they saw the final outcome. Then, Luo Xuanxing said in disbelief, "To be defeated to such an extent, I don't believe that Li Shimin doesn't have a destiny."
Luo Su narrowed his eyes slightly, looked towards Chang'an, and suddenly said, "What do you think would happen if Li Yuan killed Dou Jiande?"
ah?
Killed Dou Jiande?
Luo Xuanxing followed this line of thought and said in a deep voice: "After killing Dou Jiande, we will probably be able to see the second brother bursting out with all his strength.
With the second brother's ability, he would immediately support Dou Jiande's son to ascend the throne as emperor, and then mobilize all the troops in Hebei.
The world that Li Tang had just pacified might be in flames again. If Ayun could escape back to Hebei, the war would continue.
Li Yuan is not so stupid. If he puts Dou Jiande under house arrest, gives him food and keeps him under strict guard, nothing will go wrong. "
Li Yuan can’t be that stupid?
Luo Su sneered, "Without Li Shimin, Li Yuan would have been driven out of Guanzhong in disgrace when Xue Ju attacked.
Without Li Shimin, even if Li Yuan had avoided Xue Ju, he would not have been able to stop Song Jingang.
Without Li Shimin, the Li Tang Dynasty would not have been able to fight a major battle in the Central Plains to pacify Wang Shichong in Henan and Dou Jiande in Hebei.
Do you think Li Yuan would be so stupid?
He's not stupid, he's prejudiced.
If Dou Jiande had come from a prominent family, he might not have killed him. But Dou Jiande came from a humble family, and Li Yuan looked down on him. It was not enough that he came from a humble family, but he was also kind and righteous, so Li Yuan would probably have killed him. "
Luo Xuanxing's face changed drastically when he heard this, "Grandfather, Dou Jiande cannot be killed, otherwise my second brother and seventh brother..."
Luo Xuanxing did not say the rest of the words, but Luo Su knew that if Dou Jiande was killed, Luo Xuanzhao and Luo Xuanyun would have to fight against the Tang Dynasty for the rest of their lives.
Luo Su hesitated for a moment and said, "Dou Jiande has been benevolent and righteous in Hebei, and many people have benefited from his kindness. He has made great contributions. If Li Yuan really wants to kill him, perhaps it would be a good idea for the family to take him away.
Write a letter to Azhao first, telling him not to rush to the court, lest Li Yuan goes crazy."
Being taken away by the Luo family is the best solution. Luo Xuanxing asked uncertainly, "Will the Emperor Tang agree?"
Now in Luo Xuanxing, Li Yuan is considered a rather abnormal person.
Luo Su chuckled, “He will.
Now let's go to Luoyang to meet Li Shimin. The war is over and the remaining people are just barely surviving.
I want to have a good chat with him and see what he has become over the years.”
…
Luoyang has become dilapidated to an unimaginable degree. There are only 5,000 households in Luoyang now, and countless houses were demolished during the defense of the city.
The city was littered with corpses lying on the roadside.
The vast majority of them starved to death in the city.
The glorious Luoyang City and the ruined Luoyang City appeared before him at the same time.
In accordance with Li Yuan's order, Li Shimin sealed up all the treasures and books in Luoyang City and distributed countless treasures to the soldiers of the Tang army.
He stayed here to deal with the aftermath of Luoyang. Luo Xuanye hurried over and whispered, "King Qin, the ancestor has arrived in Luoyang."
Li Shimin was shocked. He hadn't heard from Luo Su for many years. He didn't expect that he would arrive in Luoyang at this time.
He had a strong feeling that Luo Su came for him!
what happens?
Li Shimin couldn't help but think, "Where is Duke Wen? I want to go meet him."
Luo Xuanye nodded, "King Qin, please follow me."
Li Shimin and Luo Xuanye walked hurriedly and turned into a small courtyard.
There is a lush tree in the yard.
There was a person sitting under the tree, looking ancient, deep, and quiet, with a majestic look.
It's Luosu.
————
Since ancient times, kings who founded a country have all had great achievements in civil and military affairs. Temples were built to worship them and passed down to future generations to demonstrate their divinity and wisdom.
Yu of Xia controlled the floods, Tang of Shang exiled Jie, and Wu of Zhou defeated Zhou, and the Three Dynasties thus established their foundation.
These are all the rulers who have received the mandate of heaven to rule the world!
Qin Shi Huang, with the remaining strength of six previous emperors, wielded the long-term strategy to conquer the world, occupying all corners of the country and annexing the eight wildernesses.
The Overlord of Chu, following the order of the Emperor Su Wang, rose up to punish Qin. He was strong enough to stand up to the mountains, and his military power was enough to establish the kingdom of Chu, so he was elected as the common ruler.
Emperor Gaozu of Han rose from the grassroots and, with the help of the god Chixiao, unified the world.
Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty also pacified the four directions and ended 400 years of chaos, making him a worthy choice at that time.
These are all emperors who received the mandate from Heaven. After the Zhou Dynasty, they were called the emperors of the Xia Dynasty!
When it came to our Tang Dynasty, the end of the Sui Dynasty was raging, many heroes rose up, the world was in decline, the Turks were fierce, and our Emperor Taizong Wen braved wind and rain, personally braved the front and arrows to unify the world, and created a very prosperous era, which was passed on to future generations.
The founder of the country, like our Emperor Taizong Wen, is unmatched in recent times, and even in ancient times he is even better! ——"Inscriptions on the Temples of the Founding Emperors of the Xia Dynasty"
