brief introduction
A junior undergraduate, Yu Yuan (homophony: Suiyu), came into an accident in the chaotic era at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and his consciousness was attached to his accidental death. There is no record in history. Xu Shiye, the younger brother of Xu Shiji, a famous general of the Tang Dynasty...
Xu Shiye, who was in troubled times, relied on the conditions of the "prophet" and his clever mind as a guarantee. He leaned on the big tree of Wagang, which was about to begin to move towards glory. With the same generation of genius Li Shimin, who was about to rise, as his imaginary enemy, he adopted the extremely deceitful and changeable means of "turning hands to clouds and turning hands to rain", and began a magnificent life journey of magnificent and tyrannical life...
In the early days, Xu Shiye took advantage of the opportunity of the Wagang General Village to order his brother Xu Shiji, who was stationed in Liyang, to cooperate with the opportunity of the Wagang General Village going west to Luoyang, the eastern capital, and asked Xu Shiji to order his order to go west along the north bank of the Yellow River to enter Luji County, Henoi...
While the Wagang army strangled with various armies of Sui Ting on the south bank of the Yellow River, Xu Shiye easily captured Jijun. Then, in order not to attract the attention of Gao Shida, the rebel army in Hebei, Zhang Jin said that he had lost his armor and removed his armor. Xu Shiye seemed to have provoked disputes within the rebel army. The army that had suddenly had an internal strife occupied Changping in one fell swoop, successfully integrating the rebel army Sima Chang'an, who occupied Changping, and Li Shicai's troops increased greatly...
Subsequently, in the early stage when the veteran of Sui Ting Yang Yichen was about to defeat Gao Shida, Zhang Jinsheng, the rebel army of Hebei, and Yang Yichen was about to be suspicious of Sui Ting, Xu Shiye's troops went out of Changping to capture Hanoi County with lightning speed...
Then, with the destruction of Gao Shida, the Hebei rebel army, Zhang Jincheng and other troops, Yang Yichen, the veteran Sui Ting general, was disbanded and transferred back to Sui Ting. The army of Wagang General Village also advanced rapidly on the south bank of the Yellow River. Taking advantage of the time when Sui Ting was overwhelmed, Xu Shiye, with the cooperation and support of his brother Xu Shiji, immediately began to implement his established strategy of "imitating Guangwu for the first time in Gengshi, and then taking Hebei as the foundation of the king's throne", and began to go north on a large scale, leading to Wei County, Xiangguo, Yecheng, Handan like the autumn wind swept away the fallen leaves...
The formal competition between Dou Jiande, who was as fast as the "Running on a Rocket", was both competing for both the division and the strategic space...
Of course, talent is the foundation of career. During this period, Xu Shiye also took advantage of the convenience of Yang Ji, the only son of Yang Shuang, the king of the down-and-out royal guard of the Sui Ting, who was accidentally saved, and took advantage of the nostalgia of the former officials of Sui Ting for the previous dynasty. Under the guise of accumulating strength to support Sui Ting, he successively recruited Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, etc. in "Fang Mou Duan".
Similarly, Xu Shiye also took advantage of Gao Shida and Zhang Jin's chance to scatter the macaques, and successively recruited Ling Jing, Qi Shanxing, Pei Ju, Cao Dan and other remaining ministers and former generals of the Hebei rebel army.
Of course, Xu Shiye tried his best not to let go of Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin, Cheng Yaojin, and even Pei Shiji and Pei Xingyan (Pei Yuanqing) who had established military achievements in the original history for "Li Tang". He either shook his olive branch or sent someone to postpone the invitation...
Time is the capital to seize the initiative! In the early stage, Xu Shiye did this to start a military campaign in Taiyuan and before Li Shimin rose, he would manage his own foundation as much as possible, laying the foundation for the strong confrontation with Li Tang that he must face in the future.
Similarly, Xu Shiye seemed to have fought in the internal strife within the rebel army and seized Changping, which had little strategic significance, to capture a "nail" in southeastern Shanxi! After "Li Tang" seized Guanzhong, the battle of Hedong, which had already fought for in history, became even more stalemate.
Regarding the war in Guanzhong and Hanoi, Xu Shiye naturally had to go and stir up the sensation and stir up the sensation! In order to delay the rise of "Li Tang"...
As the battle with Dou Jiande in Hebei was coming to an end, and when "Li Tang" officially started to swear an oath from Taiyuan, Xu Shiye had already further started to advance northward to Youyan. Does he hope to integrate Hebei while fighting with "Li Tang" and have the Iron Cavalry of Youzhou and a vast strategic buffer zone so that he can have a lot of decisive battle capital when facing the strong "Li Tang" army and Li Shimin who rises like a comet...
With the murder of Emperor Yang Guang of Sui, Yu Wenhua and his army of 100,000 were heading north. Xu Shiye assisted Xu Shiji in a battle in Liyang, and brought nearly half of the 100,000 strong troops of the Sui Dynasty under his command, greatly increasing his strength...
Subsequently, with the outbreak of the Luoyang War, the Wagang Army in Henan had risen and fallen steeply, and Li Mi sent him to hell...
Therefore, Xu Shiye is about to start a battle with "Li Tang" on the Heluo line...
As for treating Wang Shichong, Xu Shiye naturally made a "high-profile commitment and low-key help", so that Wang Shichong would first try to exhaust Li Shimin...
Of course, in order to increase the morale of Wang Shichong and Li Shimin, Xu Shiye also took the strategy of Dou Jiande in the original history in advance, and went south to the "Nanqi Natural Distance Muling Pass", bluffing the slightest destruction of Meng Haigong, and even expelled Du Fuwei and others, occupying the two Huaihe Rivers...
In the later large-scale competition with "Li Tang", Xu Shiye basically implemented the principle of fighting in Heluo, Jinzhong and other areas. At the same time, he also made a kick in the competition between "Li Tang" and Liu Wuzhou and made a profit from it...
Since Xu Shiye has already taken the north as the basis, there must be iron-blooded strangulation of the foreign tribes such as the Turks...
In addition, because the protagonist Xu Shiye is the hegemony of the world that his brother Xu Shiji jointly seized. The so-called: In the face of absolute power, all emotions are "thin as thin as paper".
Is it a "step brother" like Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Guangyi, or a "brother brother" between Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng? I haven't considered it clearly yet, even if it is a foreshadowing of the absolute power struggle laid in the later stage!
