Chapter 17 He Yan People's Heart

I felt that my words seemed too intense before, and there was even a hint of questioning Xu Shiji. To put it further, Xu Shiye felt that his emotions were a little excited, and he had already deviated a little from the strong feelings and tacit understanding that the two brothers should have.

Therefore, Xu Shiye deliberately suppressed the restlessness caused by the heat of drinking, nodded, and followed Xu Shiji's words: "What the elder brother said is very true! Ancient language: Those who win the hearts of the people will lose the hearts of the people will lose the hearts of the people will lose the world. The unbearable situation in which Sui Ting is in is indeed due to Emperor Yang's great joy in his favour despite the ability to bear national strength!"

However, since I can remember, Xu Shiji, who had watched Xu Shiye grow up and the two brothers participated in the rebellion together when he was young. His previous understanding of Xu Shiye's younger brother was not that Xu Shiye, who was just "resurrecting his soul" now is comparable to that of Xu Shiye!

Therefore, Xu Shiji, who was very clear about Xu Shiye's nature in the past, once again had an ambiguous expression on his face. He looked at Xu Shiye with a smile with a difficult meaning and said, "The second brother's head injury this time is really a blessing in disguise. It is a great enlightenment! He also learned to hide the edge and talked to his brother. Why did he say, "Emperor Yang is so happy with merits"? Is the second brother a little unanimous about his brother's statement? Or come and listen to it for me! Let's stop talking about the words "I'm not saying it's a long time ago!"

The meticulous Xu Shiji suddenly made Xu Shiye, who had seen through his thoughts, felt embarrassed and a little feverish on his face, so he had to smile and sigh, "I really can't hide my thoughts from you!"

After praising Xu Shiji for a while, Xu Shiye continued with a look of expression:

"There is no absolute right or wrong in everything, it depends on the effects produced under different circumstances. In my opinion, Emperor Yang is a narrow-minded person and is eager for success and profit. If he is stupid and vulgar, it is difficult to take great responsibility, but it is a bit of a problem! Although you and my brother have never met Emperor Yang, I think of him as he thinks of him: Emperor Yang is indeed extremely talented, but he is paranoid! The current situation of the world falling apart and the smoke of war is only because Emperor Yang is too out of control in grasping the word "du".

As an emperor, Emperor Yang caused the people to live in poverty and the country's state of sorrow, so naturally it was unforgivable. However, did people in the world think of why Emperor Yang caused such a tragic situation? It was nothing more than eight words: construction of a large number of buildings and military force. Because of these eight words, the people were unable to bear the burden and had to rebel in order to make a living.

As for Emperor Yang's private extravagance, it is actually a minor matter! Human nature drives away evil and is a king, with a large group of concubines, and it is inevitable that he will wear fine clothes and eat food. This is true in ancient and modern times, and it is difficult to find exceptions.

But if we break down the previous eight words: the construction of a large-scale construction is nothing more than recruiting millions of people to build a canal, so that the people cannot rest assured that they have their own business, and the land that has no food and clothing, and no livelihood. However, the military and military force have excessively used a large amount of military power. The three expeditions of Goryeo ended in failure. As a result, they naturally built the canal together, and further forced the civilians and the people to a dead end.

If Emperor Yang had not been too anxious and slowly, the result would be difficult to comment now. Perhaps it is unknown whether Emperor Yang would be regarded as a "hero of heroes" in history!

My elder brother thought about it in a reverse direction. The three expeditions of Goryeo were to expand the territory and break the territory. He made the power of the outside world without any effort. Just as building a canal, did he ever think silently? The unobstructed canal made the freight transportation from the north and south in the past from fear to smooth roads, and the speed of transportation was almost several times faster. The acceleration of the communication between the two countries will naturally lay a great foundation for the prosperity of later generations. A fair evaluation: Emperor Yang built the canal, which was a disaster for the world and benefited hundreds of generations...."

The original Xu Shiye was young, and the current Xu Shiye was also young. His youthfulness was full of vitality and high emotions. Xu Shiye, who wanted to try his best to control his excited emotions, said and then he was trapped in endless words. Naturally, Xu Shiye's very alternative performance compared to the past also once again made Xu Shiji, who knew his younger brother thoroughly, show an incredible expression on his face.

Xu Shiye, who also felt something about Xu Shiji's reaction, suddenly realized that he was a little "big-mouthed and long-tongued", and even faintly involved some out-of-the-modern views. But since he had already started, he must express his meaning clearly. Otherwise, speaking half of it and leaving half will cause Xu Shiji's doubts even more. Therefore, Xu Shiye quickly changed the subject and involved the main topic:

"In fact, what I said is not to overestimate my ability to speak out about current affairs, but to express an idea, that is, as long as my brothers think that they are doing well and doing things that are worthy of heaven, earth, king, relative, teacher, etc., they should not avoid worldly views and speeches; do not hesitate to waste my brother's great years and unsatisfactory talents, and waste the same excellent opportunity as God has given.

Nowadays, due to the constant natural disasters and man-made disasters in the Central Plains, the people are hungry and hungry, which is everywhere. This is a great opportunity for my brother to strengthen his own power. Moreover, my brother also has excellent conditions that others cannot have during the day and night: control the Liyang Cang, which stores countless grains. With this innate condition, my brother also said that "the army is only 5,000,000 troops" seem too pedantic? As long as my brother does not give a slight recruitment, he will follow the 100,000 strong troops who are like ants are at your fingertips!

However, I am not urging my elder brother to escape from Wagang to support his troops, but suggesting my elder brother: My brother can just use the military order of the general village to order Li Yang to "send troops to cooperate with the westward advance" to appropriately select the best to expand his troops, and take the opportunity of cooperating with the general village to move westward advance to do his best to manage one of my brother's own foundation. Others are worse than themselves, and helping others is worse than helping themselves. Do I think my younger brother's words are feasible?"

I felt that I had basically said everything I should say, and there were only the specific implementation left. Therefore, Xu Shiye immediately closed his mouth and cast a consultation look at Xu Shiji.

"The words of the second brother, the words of the second brother..." Since Xu Shiji has not recovered from the shock of "How can the second brother come up with such extremely wise views", he seems to be extremely uncomfortable with Xu Shiye's way of speaking like a 'blazing brake', and he said with a little confused and sluggish speech: "Hebei is the foundation of the king's body? However, if we act too much in Liyang, it will inevitably arouse suspicion from the general village. Moreover, Hebei is not something that we can get! Now, Yang Yichen, the important minister of the Sui Court, is placing heavy troops to quell Zhang Jinsheng, and Gao Shida's rebellion. If we are a little more powerful, we will inevitably provoke Yang Yichen's commander to attack..."

It was not that Xu Shiji, who had always been keen and meticulous, had a numb mind at this time, but that he had not yet completely recovered from being shocked by his younger brother's performance. Therefore, he seemed to have said such words as if he was a little "idiot".

Xu Shiji's words happened to meet Xu Shiye's wishes, and just made Xu Shiye take the opportunity to express his thoughts. Therefore, Xu Shiye immediately responded:

"How can the world be so great that my brother can do not have a great world where I can achieve great success? As my brother said: It is very difficult for my brother to provoke Yang Yichen, the important minister of the Sui Court. Therefore, we are just preparing now, and it is not easy for us to go north immediately. Moreover, going north will inevitably attract the attention of the general village and attract suspicion.

The so-called: Take advantage of the situation and make profits. My brother can follow the military orders of the general village as an excuse, and advance westward completely with the orders of respecting the orders in advance, and first take down Jijun, which is not very powerful in the Sui Ting power, and make a gesture of being completely cooperating with the general village's actions.

After taking over Ji County, we should not advance too quickly! Otherwise, if we take advantage of the situation and continue to enter Hanoi, it will inevitably attract the attention of Dongdu, which has the Sui Court's heavy troops and hoarded people, and will definitely send heavy troops to fight back because we are worried that we will cross the river and attack Dongdu after taking over Hanoi. What's more, if we take over Hanoi and see the Dongdu from afar, it is hard to say that we will not attract Yang Yichen, who is in control of the heavy troops. Therefore, we can only enter Ji County and stop..."
