【Here comes the problem】

【Establishing military merit will help usurp the throne, so how big should this military merit be?】

【In fact, military merit is only one aspect】

【In the Northern and Southern Dynasties, many people who had not made great military achievements usurped the throne.】

【For example, Huan Xuan, he just put down the rebellion in Jingzhou and then came back and wore the imperial robe.】

【In this, in addition to the prestige left to him by his father and his own military achievements, the most important thing is that he brought his own soldiers into the imperial city. ]

Eastern Jin plane.

Huan Xuan: Oops, it was exposed in advance

【Yes】

【If you have the opportunity to bring personal soldiers into the imperial city, this will greatly increase your success rate in usurping the throne.】

【In addition, credit is only the foundation and needs to be coordinated with other steps.】

【Generally speaking, the weaker your foundation in the court, the greater the military merits you need to achieve】

【After you have the credit, you come to the next step】

【How to evade the emperor? 】

See these words.

Many people in the past dynasties felt anxious.

Heroes such as Qin Shihuang, Liu Che, Li Shimin, Zhu Yuanzhang, and Zhu Di stared at the giant screen with interest.

They were not worried at all.

There is no chance for a creature like their powerful minister in the court to exist.

【Keep one thing in mind: Politics is the power that can unite many friends and few enemies. 】

The plane of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin smiled and said:"This is both insightful and easy to understand."

Many heroes in other dynasties also had similar emotions.

【You can unite those ministers who have been marginalized in the court and marginalized by the emperor to join you through marriage, sworn sworn vows, gifts, etc.】

【When all the ministers are on your side, the emperor is just a mascot.】

【But you have to keep in mind that your purpose is to usurp the throne, but don’t act like you are usurping the throne.】

【Moreover, you have to make use of the hierarchical consciousness in the subconscious of the public to gain people's hearts and minds."】

【Once you are in a high position, others will naturally find you inaccessible. At this time, if you bend down and communicate with others on an equal footing, they will feel that they are respected and recognized. 】

Many powerful officials in the past dynasties nodded frequently when they heard this.

This is a trick to take advantage of people's hearts

【But if you are dealing with political opponents, please follow this rule: be honest with the emperor, fight against corrupt officials, and never against the emperor.】

【Therefore, we must suppress our opponents under the banner of being emperor and dealing with corrupt officials.】

【Remember: Never usurp the throne until conditions are met, be patient! Be sensible!】

【If you endure it until the conditions are ripe, you can force the palace to usurp the throne.】

【However, successfully forcing the throne to usurp the throne is not the end. There is still one job to be done, and that is to clean up your name afterwards. You have to cover up your usurpation from all angles, but you must pay attention to the method.】

【Finally, a reminder: no matter how you whitewash it, merit is the only legitimacy.】

【If you don't get back your inherent territory like the Yanyun Sixteenth Prefecture, and you promote yourself as orthodox, you will definitely be poked in the back by future generations.】

"See you in Tuqiongdagger!"

"Zhao Guangyi: The land was not taken back, but my donkey cart ran very fast!"

"Zhao Kuangyin: Can you speak? Is it over?"

In the giant screen high in the sky.

Video refreshes.

A new video title appears on the giant screen

【The whole city is full of white hair, holding the Tang sword until death. 】

In the giant screen.

Start playing video clips

【Under the setting sun, there is a lonely dilapidated city.

On top of this city, there are countless arrows.

Outside the city, there was a dense army surrounding him.

At various locations on the city wall, there are white-haired soldiers wearing shabby armor, mottled helmets on their heads, and holding rusty weapons in their hands.

A white-haired general shouted:

"You just need to remember that our mission is to stay here, Tang Banner cannot fall!"

"Shou! Escape with no regrets!"

The white-haired general raised his sword and shouted

"Escape with no regrets!"

"Escape with no regrets!"

"……"

Many white-haired veterans shouted in unison. 】

While the video was playing, red subtitles appeared one after another:

【In 640 AD, the Tang Empire established the Anxi Protectorate in the Western Regions Protectorate and began to rule the Western Regions.】

【The Anxi Army of the Tang Dynasty also became a powerful force in the Western Regions.】

【At that time, the tens of thousands of Tang troops under the command of the Anxi Protectorate were like heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals to the Central Asian countries in the Western Regions. They had supreme and inviolable majesty. Countless city-states and tribes surrendered out of fear. Countless city-states and tribes surrendered】

【However, in 755 (the fourteenth year of Tianbao), the"Anshi Rebellion" broke out in the Tang Dynasty. After Lingwu succeeded to the throne, Emperor Suzong of the Tang Dynasty mobilized the northwest frontier army to quell the rebellion, and a large number of Anxi troops guarding the Western Regions were transferred to the interior.】

【Only Guo Xin and his 10,000 remnant troops were left to defend Anxi.】

【Therefore, Tubo took the opportunity to send troops and captured the Hexi Corridor, cutting off the connection between the Western Regions and the Central Plains.】

【Facing the attack of the Tubo army, the Anxi remnant army fought to the death and sent people to contact the Tang Dynasty in the Central Plains. However, they were all drowned in the rebel army and the vast desert. No one reached Chang'an.】

【It was not until 15 years later that the report from the Western Regions finally detoured north to Chang'an.】

【Only then did Emperor Dezong of the Tang Dynasty realize that there were still people holding on in the Western Regions, and for a while there was a lot of crying in the court and the public.】

【At this time, the Tang Dynasty, under the pressure of Tubo invasion and rebellion in the feudal towns, no longer had the energy to support Anxi.】

【The remaining thousands of troops in Anxi had to resist the Tibetan attack alone.】

【In 808 AD, in that year, in the vast territory of the Western Regions, only ancient cities like Qiuci still flew the flag of the Tang Dynasty.】

【At this time, the Anxi Army, which had been standing alone for nearly forty-two years, had already cracked the Mingguang heavy armor on its body, the sharp Tang knives in its hands were also chipped, and the soldiers had white hair. 】

At this time.

In the video clip played by Gaofongju, it starts to play

【The Tibetan army outside the city began to attack Kucha.

The white-haired soldier shouted:

"Anyone who offends our Tang Dynasty will be punished!"

While fighting hard with the enemy!]

A new red letter appeared on the giant screen

【That year, Guo Xin and all the soldiers of the Tang Army under his command went through bloody battles. Finally, after the city was broken, Guo Xin led all the remaining soldiers to charge against the Tibetan army. They all died in the battle and no one surrendered!】

【The whole city is full of white hair, holding the Tang sword until death. Born as a member of the Han family, died as a soldier of the Tang Dynasty】

"Magnificent, the white-haired Anxi Army will live up to the Tang Dynasty and the people of the country! It’s Datang that feels sorry for you!"

"This group of representatives of the Anxi Army are proud of the Tang Dynasty and brave of the Han family!"

"It's not Datang who's sorry for them, it's Li Longji who's sorry for them!"

"Indeed, the great Tang Dynasty was ruined by Li Longji!"

"A lonely city thousands of miles away, full of white-haired soldiers!"

"I can see the sun but not Chang'an!"

"……"

Looking at the group of white-haired soldiers still fighting hard in the video on the giant screen, as well as the subtitles and barrage, many ancient people in the past dynasties felt admiration.

These white-haired soldiers deserve respect

……

The plane of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin looked at the giant screen and murmured to himself:

"The whole city is full of white hair, holding the Tang sword until death. He was born as a member of the Han family, and died as a soldier of the Tang Dynasty!"

Li Shimin watched the white-haired soldiers fall down in the bloody battle, and his eyes gradually became moist.

"All good stuff! It's Datang that can't help you!"

From a young man who has been sticking to the isolated city to his gray hair, he still remains unwavering even when he has completely lost contact with the Tang Dynasty.

What a loyal army this is!

But such a loyal army cannot be rescued by the Tang Dynasty

"Li Longji, you deserve to die!"

Li Shimin's heart surged with anger.

Without the Anshi Rebellion and the decline of the Tang Dynasty, how could this lonely Anxi army be reduced to such a state?

Behind Li Shimin, all the officials of the Tang Dynasty were silent.

They could only admire such an Anxi army.!

At this time,

Li Shimin controlled his emotions, turned to the officials of the Tang Dynasty and said:

"Tubo was so audacious that he actually dared to take advantage of the civil strife in the Tang Dynasty in later generations. His intentions are to be punished! Must be punished!"

"Your Majesty is right! I am willing to lead the army on an expedition! Teach Tubo a lesson!"

"Your Majesty, I am willing to go!"

"Your Majesty, I am willing to go!" (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"…………"

The generals of the Tang Dynasty shouted

…………

The plane of Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Longji stared blankly at the giant screen[]

After a long time, he sighed deeply:

"It's all my fault!"

If he hadn't caused the Anshi Rebellion to break out in the Tang Dynasty, none of this would have happened.

"Don’t worry, I won’t let the same thing happen this time! I will never let you guard the isolated city with gray hair again!"

Li Longji made up his mind.

He must solve many problems such as the vassal and town, and not cause a catastrophe later!

……………

The Qin Dynasty.

Qin Shihuang looked at the group of soldiers on the giant screen and felt respectful.

A man so loyal to his country deserves his respect.

Except for Qin Shihuang, the rest of the Han, Ming and other dynasties, whether Liu Che, who did not know about it, or Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di and others who knew about it from history books, all had respect for this lone army in Anxi.

Without any support or supplies, they managed to hold on for nearly fifty years. This loyalty and tenacity are enough to move people.

After playing this video.

A new video has appeared

【The last macho man of the Tang Dynasty: One man conquered eleven states! ] after the video title.

Video starts playing

【A.D. 848, Sandbank.

A very grand square, densely packed with people.

A man wearing Tubo official uniform said loudly:

"In today's celebration, we will perform the story of Shazhou's surrender to the city to recreate how the Tang army abandoned Shazhou and abandoned you."

After the words fell, an old man shouted loudly:

"What nonsense!"

"The Old Tang Army did not surrender, but defended to the end, and defended the people of Shazhou to the last!"

The sword flashed.

A clip began to play:

"Can't be afraid anymore"

"Before the incident, I had been entrusted by General Zhang to go to Moxi……"】

During the playback of movies and TV shows.

The red subtitles begin the introduction:

【In the fifteenth year of Zhenyuan (799) of Dezong of Tang Dynasty, Zhang Yichao was born in Shazhou. The Zhang family in Dunhuang has been the general of Shazhou for generations and is a powerful clan of the local Ding clan..0】

【When Zhang Yichao was growing up, he personally experienced the brutal rule of Tubo, which aroused his anger, so he"swore to return to the country with no doubt of his determination." For this reason, he began to accumulate strength and win support from many aspects.】

【In the second year of Dazhong (848), Zhang Yichao led a crowd to launch an uprising in Shazhou. After an arduous battle, he expelled the Tibetan defenders.】

【After the Tubo army was defeated, they mobilized troops from the surrounding areas and surrounded Shazhou. Zhang Yichao led the soldiers and horses in the city to fight and defeated Tubo. The rebels finally gained a foothold on the sandbank】

【After the restoration of Shazhou, Zhang Yichao immediately sent an envoy to the capital to achieve victory. At that time, Liangzhou and other places were still controlled by the Tibetans, and the east route was blocked. Of the ten envoys sent by Zhang Yichao, only one led by the eminent monk Wuzhen bypassed the desert and reached the Tang Dynasty.】

【In the first month of the fourth year of Dazhong (850), Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty greatly praised Zhang Yichao and others for their loyalty, bravery and meritorious service, and promoted him to Shazhou Defense Envoy.】

【At the same time, Zhang Yichao used Shazhou as his base and successively recovered land in Gua, Yi, Xi, Gan, Su, Lan, Shan), He, Min, Kuo and other states.】

【In August of the fifth year of Dazhong (851), Zhang Yichao sent a mission to Chang'an for the second time. Twenty-nine people including his brother Zhang Yitan, Li Mingda and Li Mingzhen from the state, and Wu Anzheng, the escort yamen, entered the court and offered tribute. Picture books of eleven states including Gua, Sha and so on. At this point, except for Liangzhou, the Hexi area that had been trapped in Tubo for nearly a hundred years returned to the Tang Dynasty.】

【In August of the twelfth year of Dazhong (858), Zhang Yichao ordered his nephew Zhang Huaishen to lead 7,000 Tibetan and Han soldiers to start the Eastern Expedition. After three years of bloody battles, in the second year of Xiantong, Yizong of the Tang Dynasty (861) conquered Liangzhou and reported to the imperial court. At this point, the old places of He and Huang, which had been submerged for more than a hundred years, have all been recovered.】

【In the 13th year of Xiantong, Zhang Yichao passed away in Chang'an at the age of seventy-four. He was posthumously named Taibao.】

"What a tough guy! So fierce!"

"The Guiyi Army is awesome! Loyal and brave!"

"There is nothing more heroic than this!"

"Zhang Yichao and Gui Yijun, many people have never seen the real Tang Dynasty, but they are willing to die for it, admire them!"

"Conquering Hexi and returning eleven states to the Tang Dynasty is simply a legend!"

"The Tang Dynasty took back eleven states without even leaving a single soldier. Tang Xuanzong won the battle"

"…………"

Seeing the dense barrage, many ancient people in the previous dynasties before Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty were shocked.

He secretly organized an uprising and conquered eleven states one after another. This Zhang Yichao was so fierce!

The plane of Xianzong of the Tang Dynasty.

The last territory of the Anxi Army Protectorate of the Tang Empire: Kucha City.

The white-haired Guo Xin looked at the giant screen with excited eyes.

The Tang Dynasty conquered eleven states!

Maybe.

I think I can conquer this Kucha city one day.

Sure!

"Old guys! see it?"

"Datang will be back!"

"I wait, death is worth it!"

"Charge with me!

"Won victory!"

Guo Xin shouted to the many white-haired veterans on the city wall.

"Won victory!"

"Won victory!"

"Won victory!"

The white-haired veterans shouted in unison.

Following Guo Xin, holding the mutilated Tang sword in their hands, they rushed towards the Tubo army with determination.

…………

The plane of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin praised loudly:

"good! Brave and loyal! What a great Zhang Yichao!"

"You have made great contributions to our Tang Dynasty! 1.6"

Li Shimin was naturally very happy to see the Eleven States in the Western Regions returned to the Tang Dynasty.

Li Zhi and the officials of the Tang Dynasty on the side also had happy faces.

It was really exciting to see the Eleven States returned to the Tang Dynasty. Overjoyed

…………

Da Qin plane.

Qin Shihuang praised:

"Be brave and resourceful! Be loyal!"

"This person is good"

…………

The plane of Ming Taizu.

Zhu Biao sighed slightly:

"Zhang Yichao, what a pity"

"Why did the boss say this?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked curiously.

He didn't know much about Zhang Yichao's history.

Zhu Biao replied:

"According to what I have read from various history books,"

"After Zhang Yichao led the Guiyi Army to capture Liangzhou, he completely opened up the communication between Hexi and the Central Plains. Tubo was thus in decline, and the Tang Dynasty had no worries about going west."

"Logically speaking, the Tang court should seize the opportunity and use the help of the rebels to stabilize Hexi."

"However, due to long-term fear of the vassal town, Datang turned its attention to the Guiyi Army and stepped up its defense and differentiation against the Guiyi Army."

"Finally, the Tang Dynasty court also summoned Zhang Yichao to the court as a hostage, allowing him to lead the Guiyi Army from afar, and let his nephew Zhang Huaishen lead the Guiyi Army in Hexi without status."

"These methods create great distrust for Zhang Yichao personally. For the Tang Dynasty, it delayed the opportunity and indirectly led to the simultaneous rise of various ethnic groups in Hexi, making the situation more complicated."

"At the same time, the Tang Dynasty court allowed Zhang Yichao to enter the court as a hostage, which also affected the trust of the Guiyi Army officers in the Tang Dynasty."

"According to my judgment, Zhang Yichao himself was indeed loyal to the Tang Dynasty. It was just that the Tang Dynasty was worried about another powerful vassal, so he was not at ease with him."

"So, I say it’s a pity for him"

"I see."
