A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 616: Heroes of the Late Sui Dynasty
Wang Xuanze and others stayed in Guanzhong for a while, and Yang Guang finally ended the political purge temporarily. Of course, this was not the real end. Yang Guang was worried that the officials below were plotting to rebel, so he sent his trusted officials to various places.

One is to guard against those officials, and the other is to prepare for the third conquest of Liaodong Kingdom.

Yes, Yang Guang did not give up the conquest of Liaodong. Originally, the second conquest of Liaodong was about to achieve a major victory, and there was even hope of destroying Liaodong. However, at the last moment, Yang Xuangan rebelled against the Sui Dynasty.

Yang Guang could only withdraw his troops in a hurry, but Yang Guang did not give up. Even because he almost won this time, he felt extremely unwilling.

Therefore, after cleaning up the court, he immediately announced that he would conquer Liaodong Kingdom again.

When Wang Xuanze learned that he would continue to conquer Liaodong, he was shocked by Yang Guang's stupidity. He never thought that Yang Guang, the once smart man, would become so stupid.

As long as your eyes are not blind, you can see that the world is in turmoil and the country is unstable. It looks like the end of the dynasty. Instead of trying to stabilize the court at this time, they are intensifying their efforts to conquer Liaodong Kingdom.

Wang Xuanze felt that the speed of abolishing the Sui Dynasty's destiny would be accelerated. If Zhu Xia doesn't take action, he doesn't know how many people will die in Yang Guang's hands.

Just when Wang Xuanze was about to leave Guanzhong, he met Li Yuan who was rushing back from Luoyang. Li Yuan gained Yang Guang's trust and was preparing to go to Taiyuan to take up his post to guard against Turks.

Li Yuan returned to Chang'an at this time, preparing to take his son with him to take office. When leaving the city, I met the Wang family.

"My condolences." Wang Xuanze said with cupped hands, then looked at a handsome young man next to him and asked, "Is this the child from back then?"

"I would also like to thank Brother Wang for his guidance last time, so that my son could be born smoothly."

"My lady is blessed, I can't wait for the right time. By the way, why don't you see your lady?"

"Tang Guogong, long time no see." Wang Xuanze said with a smile.

"Exactly, he is my second son Li Shimin." Li Yuan calmed down and introduced.

Li Yuan was silent for a moment, and then said: "My wife passed away due to illness last year."

"Last time you said you saw the Purple Qi of Destiny on his body, it must be extraordinary!" Wang Xuanze said with a smile.

Because Li Yuan was going to Taiyuan to take office, everyone just reminisced about old times and then went their separate ways.

"Brother Wang, I haven't seen you for a long time, but you still have the same style!" Li Yuan said, looking at Wang Xuanze who was almost the same as he was more than ten years ago.

"He has helped the world and brought peace to the people. He has a good name and is brave and resolute. He will definitely become an outstanding person in the future." Wang Xuanze looked at Li Shimin seriously and said sincerely.

After leaving, Wang Xuanying said: "Brother, Li Yuan's second son is extraordinary!"

When he saw the Wang family, Li Yuan quickly invited the Wang family to have a chat at Shiliting Pavilion.

"When I saw them this time, I found that the Purple Qi of Destiny on their bodies was even stronger, at least three times the original amount."

"It seems that Li Yuan is really thinking about treason." Wang Xuanze reacted immediately after hearing this.

"When he went to Taiyuan to take up a post, Yang Guang ordered him to guard against the Turks. Since he wanted to guard against the Turks, he must control the army. According to his status as a Guanlong noble, it is not difficult to control this army." "I'm afraid that this army will be controlled by then." The army became his Li family's private army."

"Taiyuan was an important town in the Sui Dynasty, surrounded by Hebei and Hedong. He came from a noble family in Guanlong, and if he connects with Guanzhong, he will soon become the dominant one."

It has to be said that Li Yuan's background has given him great help. Relying on his status, as long as the world changes, he can quickly become a prince.

"Brother, do you think Li Yuan has the ability to rule the world?" Wang Xuanying said with a smile.

"Today, there is a 30% chance that Li Yuan will take over the world." Wang Xuanze thought for a moment and said. In fact, Wang Xuanze didn't think much of Li Yuan's ability.

If you only look at personal ability, Li Yuan's personal ability is not as good as Zhai Rang, whom he met last time in Wagang Village, although Zhai Rang's knowledge and reading are far inferior to Li Yuan.

But Zhai Rang is generous, clear about rewards and punishments, and decisive in doing things. These are better than Li Yuan. Although Li Yuan seems to be generous to others, he pays attention to his background and looks down on those who are not as good as him or from a poor family.

Moreover, he also inherited the aristocratic world view, and he did not value the common people, but valued the noble family more.

"If Zhai Rang has Li Yuan's background, no matter how careful he is, he has at least a 50% chance of becoming the ruler of the world. It's a pity." Wang Xuanze shook his head and said.

The Wagang Village occupied by Zhai Rang is indeed a good place. If he were born into a noble family, he would soon be able to occupy the Central Plains, capture Luoyang, and Guanzhong, and then connect Guanzhong, Henan, and Hebei into one area. Basically, the world would be stable. Half of it.

Guanzhong and the Central Plains have food and population, enough to support their struggle for world hegemony. There are steep passes here that can be defended, and then a large army can be swept across Hebei and Shandong to unify the north. There is basically no one else in this world that has anything to do with it.

"Although Li Yuan is not talented enough to be a founding king, there are not many people in the world who can defeat him." Wang Xuanze said.

"I heard recently that there is a righteous man in Shandong named Dou Jiande. He is different from the previous rebels. This man is kind to the people and polite to the corporal. If it is true, he probably has a chance."

"Although Dou Jiande is good, the same problem is before him. Shandong is already too chaotic. Over the years, soldiers have been recruited and various taxes have been imposed. Shandong, this sacred land, has been devastated."

"Yang Guang recruited hundreds of thousands of people from here, as well as a large amount of food and grass, but they all died in Liaodong. Then there were countless uprisings in Shandong. Wang Bo was defeated and had hid in the mountains. Dou Jiande wanted to consolidate Shandong and Hebei are very difficult.”

Wang Xuanze also felt that it was a pity for Dou Jiande. Hebei and Shandong were also the foundation of hegemony. It was a pity that in the past few years, Yang Guang built the canal and conquered Liaodong, which almost wiped out Hebei and Shandong. Such a loss of people's power, how could the people survive.

Even if Dou Jiande could pull out an army of 100,000 people, what could he do without food and grass?

At the same time, there are too many rebels here, and he needs to spend a lot of time to destroy other rebels. In fact, they are said to be rebels. In fact, these rebels have already deteriorated.

In the past, they were indeed trying to survive, but after the uprising, these rebels began to rapidly incubate and deteriorate, and they had begun to rob the people.

And the most important thing is that Dou Jiande, like Zhai Rang, has a low background. Only when they have enough territory will officials and scholars join them. However, at this time, they are already more than one step slower than other people from aristocratic backgrounds.

Places like Hebei and Shandong are almost undefeable, and they basically have little time to develop.

Although the Wang family does not evaluate people based on their birth status, in the competition for the world, low birth status will be a big disadvantage.
