Chapter 222 Li Shimin’s charm and before the decisive battle.

Da Qin,

Ying Zheng, who was originally frowning, relaxed a little.

The sentence in the sky about who is the real King of Qin made him very unhappy.

But this son does not fall into the prestige of King Qin.

Hmm... Li Shimin, not bad.

……

The period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty
Liu Che raised his sleeves with a look of disdain.

Do you really think of barbarians as monarchs?

The Turks invested so much and even turned against the Tang Dynasty just to support another "hero" who could fight and be obedient.

As a result, you, the "hero", not only couldn't solve the problem on your own, but after the failure, you actually gave up everything and fled back without authorization!

Once you escape, you will turn from a hero to a liability.

Kill a burden and show your kindness to a country with a future.

why not?

……

Late Han Dynasty,

Cao Cao stared blankly at the sky.

Just... calmed down?

Is this because the opponent is too weak or this guy is too strong?
In about three years, Longyou, Hexi, and Hedong were conquered.

So what have you been doing all these years?
……

Tang Dynasty and Gaozong period
The light fragrance of agarwood rises slowly from the incense burner and fills the air.

There is a calm and relaxing atmosphere in the hall.

"During the martial virtue years of conquering the south and the north, and wiping out the heroes."

"Heroes from all over the world came under the command of Emperor Taizong one by one."

"From a life-and-death rival to a devoted confidant."

"I've been thinking..."

Li Zhi looked at the young Aye in the sky with a complicated expression.

"What is it about Aye that attracts them?"

"And make them loyal and no longer choose to leave and betray?"

"Is it Aye's outstanding military talent?"

"Or is it his strong personal charm?"

"Or... what about the identity and status of the second prince of the Tang Dynasty?"

"Uncle, can you teach me?"

Wearing a purple robe and a futou on his head.

Changsun Wuji, who was sitting at the bottom, raised his head and glanced at the sky, looking reminiscing.

"What His Majesty said is certainly important, but it is not the most important."

Changsun Wuji looked at Li Zhi calmly and said:
"The most important thing is the equal and unreserved trust given by Emperor Taizong."

Li Zhi leaned on the brocade couch with a calm expression, but there was a trace of dissatisfaction in his heart.

Changsun Wuji continued:
"None of the heroes at that time came out to conquer the world on their first day."

"They also followed various chiefs."

"So they can intuitively tell when trust is superficial and reserved."

"What kind of trust is open, sincere and unreserved."

Speaking of this, there was inevitably a hint of excitement in the old and calm voice.

"In Emperor Taizong, what we experience is undoubtedly the latter!"

Li Zhi's hand hidden in his sleeve clenched unconsciously.

Changsun Wuji, who was lost in memories, didn't notice it, but said a little absentmindedly:

“This kind of unreserved trust brings a precious sense of security.”

Li Zhi looked at Changsun Wuji and waved his hand.

The palace attendants on the side came forward to add water to his cup.

The emperor above spoke with a smile:
“For Ayer, it’s this unreserved trust in his subordinates.”

Li Zhi bit the word "other" and said with a smile:
"There are definitely risks to be taken."

Changsun Wuji held the hot tea in his hand and his expression calmed down again.

"But Your Majesty, can you effectively avoid risks by retaining trust, or by always being vigilant and on guard against your subordinates?"

Li Zhi kept smiling.

"Isn't it?"

Changsun Wuji did not answer immediately, but slowly blew the hot air on the tea soup.

The huge palace suddenly fell silent.

"Uncle, do you think the Wu family can be the queen?"

……

Northern Song Dynasty.

Zhao Kuangyin looked at Li Shimin who was unprepared for the defection of other subordinates and felt admiration from the bottom of his heart.

"In troubled times, no one dares to truly trust outsiders."

“It’s just because risks are everywhere and it’s hard to guard against.”

Zhao Kuangyi deeply agrees.

People's hearts are unpredictable. Who can guarantee that if he can vote for you, he will not vote for someone else?
"That's why in troubled times when we are wary of each other, Li Shimin's trust is extremely precious."

Zhao Kuangyin nodded and shook his head. "Tang Taizong didn't know that trust can attract heroes from all over the world and show trust."

"But he believes from the bottom of his heart that he is worthy of making heroes willing to vote."

"To put it bluntly, anyone with some ability in troubled times is not a fool."

“Everyone can feel what you give and how much you give.”

Zhao Kuangyin put his hands behind his back and sighed:
"If you pay for doubt, you will definitely gain panic."

"If you give enough trust, the reward may not necessarily be worthless gratitude, but it will definitely be an equal amount of loyalty."

"In troubled times, monarchs are very jealous, and there is very little trust between monarchs and ministers."

"At this time, a leader suddenly appeared who took the risk of breaking his promise and made his subjects feel at ease."

"It's like light shining through darkness."

"How can it not be desirable?"

Zhao Kuangyi looked at his eldest brother who was filled with emotion and had only one thought in his mind.

The eldest brother is old and weak.

The emperor will reward those with strong soldiers and horses!
If Li Shimin did not have the corresponding strength as a guarantee, would he dare to take the risk of losing trust?
Huh, brother is confused.

Zhao Kuangyi looked at Li Shimin in the sky.

What you mean is sincere and just sounds nice.

……

On the canopy,
"Tang" who occupied Guanzhong and Hedong and "Zheng" who occupied the Central Plains

One east and one west, facing each other tit for tat.

……

[Wang Shichong, courtesy name Xingman, lost his father when he was young. He remarried with his mother and then took the surname of Wang from his stepfather and became the governor of Bian County. 】

[Quite studious and loves the art of war. 】

[Excellent writing style and proficient in law. 】

[He is an all-rounder in both civil and military affairs. 】

[During the reign of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, Wang Shichong rose to prominence in the Forbidden Army and was soon promoted to Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of War. 】

……

Sui Dynasty,

The emperor and empress were suddenly stunned.

Is this pie in the sky?
Hmm...why doesn't it count?
"Come here! Order Wang Shichong!"

……

[After Emperor Sui Yang came to the throne, he appointed him as Jiangdu County Magistrate and went to suppress the peasant uprising. Wang Shichong became prosperous from then on. 】

[Due to his meritorious service in suppressing the uprising, Wang Shichong gained the trust of Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty and was promoted to Jiangdu Tongshou. 】

[After the death of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, Wang Shichong proclaimed Yang Tong, the king of Yue, as emperor in Luoyang and changed the name of Yuan Huangtai. 】

[Wang Shichong was named Zheng Guogong. 】

[Afterwards, he fought a life-and-death duel with Li Mi and won a great victory. 】

[Then a coup was launched to seize the throne of Yang Dong and establish himself as emperor. 】

[Subsequently, while the Tang army was fighting Liu Wuzhou in Hedong, they occupied the Tang Dynasty's territory in Henan. 】

[The land of the Central Plains became Wang Shichong’s world in an instant. 】

[But Luoyang is a battleground for military strategists, so how could Li Yuan just watch Luoyang being occupied by Wang Shichong. 】

[In May 620 AD, King Qin Li Shimin returned to Chang'an after pacifying Liu Wuzhou. 】

[On the first day of July, Li Yuan issued an edict, ordering Li Shimin to lead his troops to advance across the entire Kanto region to attack Wang Shichong. 】

……

Period of Emperor Guangwu of Yanhan Dynasty

Liu Xiu was stunned for a moment when he looked at Li Shimin who was leaving again after less than two months.

Doesn’t this guy have a lot of military power?
Or are you just going to use it to death if it's really useful?

Is there no one else in Datang?
The key is...won't the prince come out to play two games?

How can you convince the ministers like this?
Liu Xiu knew how to make a fortune.

It’s just two words that can be typed.

Therefore, even if there is some grievance among the ministers, he can hold up the situation.

And this one in heaven...

It is understandable that the position of the prince cannot be compromised.

But you can’t stay still, right?

Now that the fierce general has surrendered to the King of Qin, how will you take back his military power later?

When Gaozu wanted Emperor Hui to put down the rebellion, wasn't he just trying to convince the generals?

Liu Xiu shook his head.

This Li Yuan is quite unwise and somewhat womanly.

If this is not done well, there will be a feud between brothers.

……

[After Wang Shichong received the news, he immediately recruited elite soldiers and generals from various states and counties, and all assembled in Dongdu. 】

[At the same time, his brothers and nephews were assigned to garrison Xiangyang in the south of Luoyang, Hulao Pass in the east, Huaizhou and Luoyang in the north, and be ready. 】

[And he personally led 30,000 elite troops to resist Li Shimin's attack. 】

[On July 21, Li Shimin led his army to Xin'an. 】

[The war to unify the Central Plains begins. 】

 Another sneak attack!
