Chapter 1069 The Second Hero of Sui and Tang Dynasties

[PS: There will be another chapter later]

Based on three updates a day, one and a half years is enough for Liu Xu to write about 1200 chapters. Logically speaking, the Tang Dynasty should dominate the world no matter what. There is a "Biography of Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties", but it only has 100 chapters. It writes directly from Yang Jian to the death of Emperor Xuanzong Li Longji of the Tang Dynasty, from the rebellion at the end of the Sui Dynasty to the Anshi Rebellion. It can be said that it is word for word, unlike someone, this It's been a thousand chapters, but Wagang Village still hasn't dispersed.

Yes, many people imagine that "The Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" is about the heroes of the late Sui and early Tang Dynasties, but in fact this is not the case. The entire "The Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" has a total of 100 chapters, and in the sixty-sixth chapter, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty has already After dominating the Xuanwu Sect, the Tang Dynasty basically unified the world.

In Chapter 71, Wu Meiniang hooked up with Li Zhi, in Chapter 74, Wu Meiniang proclaimed herself emperor, in Chapter 80, An Lushan appeared, and in Chapter , the entire Tang Dynasty had completed its most glorious period of more than years. time began to usher in the garbage time of the late Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, "The Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" does not write about the turn of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, but really writes many stories about the entire Sui and Tang dynasties.

In comparison, Liu Xu's content in Chapter 1200 is still writing about Wagang Village. It is simply...how to put it...a master of personal care for a school beauty from another world?

Okay, but you can't blame Liu Xu. It's actually Liu Xu who is extra ambitious this time and wants to write a work close to "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

It can be seen from the timeline that when Liu Xu started writing "Tian Khan", the world was at peace. Except for Shengwu Tianzhu, Liu Xu encountered almost no trouble. And even for Shengwu Tianzhu, Liu Xu was in a teasing state from beginning to end.

Because Liu Xu is already invincible in the world at the stage of the Lord of Xiaotian, no one can be Liu Xu's opponent, even the Lord Shengwu is just a slightly more powerful toy, so Liu Xu's mentality is actually Very relaxed state.

This person can't be idle. Once he is free, he is ready to do something. So Liu Xu, who has written several books, plans to seriously write an excellent one. Not to mention it can be comparable to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but at least it should be close to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. "The works came out.

At this time, it happened to coincide with the Sui and Tang Dynasties, which was an extremely important time for dynasty changes in Chinese history. Liu Xu naturally became ambitious and wanted to write this book extremely well.

But Liu Xu is just like a certain rubbish author. Once he wants to write well, he will want to write in detail. Once he wants to write in detail, he will become extremely verbose, and he will pursue large and comprehensive content, and he will write everything in detail. I want to write it in, but I don’t want to omit anything.

But it just so happened that the last years of the Sui Dynasty were an era when there was an explosion of content to write about.

Maybe in many people's impression, there is nothing to write about in the last years of the Sui Dynasty. In the final analysis, it is just Wagangzhai plus the rise of Erfeng, as well as the resistance of the stubborn forces of the Sui Dynasty, etc., and nothing else. Not exciting.

But on the contrary, there is not much to write about in the last years of the Sui Dynasty. This can be seen from the "Eighteen roads against the king, seventy-two roads of smoke and dust" mentioned in the romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties. How exaggerated are the Lu resistance forces?

And although this sentence comes from a novel, it is not fictional or exaggerated, but real history.

The 72 Roads of Smoke refer to a total of large-scale peasant uprisings and heroic rebellions starting from the Wei Wentong Uprising in June of the sixth year of Daye in the Sui Dynasty to the Shen Faxing Uprising in March of the second year of Yining in the Sui Dynasty.

And this is not the total number, but the medium-to-large-scale uprisings that caused scale effects. At least a few counties were captured, causing a lot of economic and property losses. Like other small-scale rebellions and uprisings, there are countless others. History books There are more than 300 uprisings recorded above, not to mention those uprisings that do not deserve to be named in history books.

But from the fact that these uprisings are called smoke and dust, we can see that in the entire late Sui Dynasty, these uprisings were actually not on the stage. They were not considered national news at all. They were only local lively events at most, and they were only recorded in history books at most. Just smoke and dust. The Eighteenth Route Anti-King is different. From the word "anti-king" we can see that these are genuine separatist forces that have claimed kingship and established a country in history.

Including Li Mi, Duke of Wei, Xue Ju of Western Qin, Zhu Can of Chu, Li Gui of Liang, Khan Liu Wuzhou of Dingyang, Shen Faxing, King of Liang, Meng Jiigong, King of Song Yi, Li Zitong of Wu, Xiao Xian of Liang, and Feng An of Yue. , Wang Hua of Wu, Lin Shihong of Nanyue, Gao Shida, King of Donghai, Dou Jiande, King of Xia, Liu Heitai, King of East Han, Xu Yuanlang, King of Lu, Ge Qian, King of Yan, Du Fuwei, King of Chu, Fugong Xi of Song, Luo, King of Yan, Liang Shi of Liang State All.

Looking at this chaotic situation, it is actually much more chaotic than the situation in the early days of the Three Kingdoms when the heroes were divided. Moreover, compared with the Three Kingdoms period, where many historical books were lost and incomplete, with the development of papermaking, the historical materials of the Sui and Tang Dynasties became much richer. Almost all the heroes mentioned above have thousands of words of historical records, and county annals of various places The records in local chronicles are even richer. What is even more awesome is the richness and popularity of folk unofficial history.

Let every name mentioned above be not a small figure in cold history, but a real person with flesh and blood. Through various historical records, future generations can clearly perceive the environment they were in at that time. , and why these choices were made, etc.

There are simply not too many things to write about, but Liu Xu still wants to write them all.

In fact, the story of Route 72 Yanchen may not be fully written, but the story of Route 18’s anti-king is solidly written in. Even if each anti-king only has about 20 chapters of plot, it is still about 360 chapters. .

Not to mention that many of the anti-king stories are extremely amazing, but ordinary people rarely know about them.

For example, if you ask who the most outstanding political and military strategist was during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, all ordinary people will know that this person was Li Shimin. But if you ask who the second-ranked politician and military strategist is, many people will be at a loss. At most, they will answer Li Mi or Wang Shichong. After all, these two names have appeared in various movies and TV dramas. .

But in fact, the second-ranked guy is a guy named Liu Heitai. What’s great about this guy is that he took the entire Hebei region into his pocket in just three months. Later, in a decisive battle with Li Shimin, he actually used his inferior force to kill Li Shimin, leaving only more than 100 people to retreat in embarrassment. In the end, the benevolent Tian Khan had to dig out the Mingshui embankment out of guilt. Like a certain military strategist in later generations, Liu Heitai's army was overwhelmed with water and Liu Heitai hid in the Turks.

But half a year later, Li Shimin, who had finally regained Hebei, had to watch helplessly as Liu Heita came back and killed him again. This time he took back the entire Hebei in less than three months, further intimidating Chang'an and frightening him. Li Yuan even considered moving the capital and did not dare to stay in Chang'an City any longer.

However, Liu Heitai also helped Li Shimin. At that time, Li Shimin defeated Dou Jiande, an army of 30 soldiers, with only a small number of troops. His reputation was so great that his father and elder brother felt a huge threat.

Therefore, after the victorious Li Shimin was canonized as General Tiance and King of Qin, he directly rose up and down covertly, deprived of almost all military power, and could only stay in Chang'an City as a civil servant. If the entire Tang Dynasty succeeded in seizing the If it were the world, then Li Shimin would have to be a vassal king honestly.

However, Liu Heitai was so fierce that no one in the entire Li Tang Dynasty could defeat him. Even a fierce man like Luo Shixin, the prototype of Luo Cheng in the Romance of Sui and Tang Dynasties, was killed by Liu Heitai. The entire Tang Dynasty was unstoppable. The solution was to send General Tiance Li Shimin out again to deal with Liu Heitai, otherwise Li Tang would be gone.

It was precisely because of this experience that Li Shimin, the general of Tiance, had a huge fear of having his military power taken away. When the world was unified and the entire Tang Dynasty no longer needed Li Shimin to lead the army, then Li Shimin would have no choice but to move. The knife comes to solve the problem.

But such a powerful man, the second most powerful man in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, is very little known among Chinese people. If Liu Xu had not studied history, he would not have known that such a powerful man existed in China. Now that Liu Xu is rewriting the Sui and Tang Dynasties, how can he be willing to give up such a powerful man? What about one of the heroes?
