Although the divine turtle is alive, it still has a final moment.

The snake rides on the fog and eventually turns into ashes of soil.

An old horse is in the stable and has ambitions for thousands of miles.

The martyr was in his twilight years and had ambitions.

The period of growth and shrinkage is not only in the sky;

The blessing of nourishing happiness can bring eternal life.

Fortunately, I sing to express my aspirations.

................

Hou Junji sat in his own courtyard, looking at the new buds growing on the trees, and read out this poem by Cao Cao's "The Turtle Although Longevity". This poem was written by Cao Cao after quelling the Wuhuan rebellion and eliminating the remnants of Yuan Shao's forces, and preparing to go south to fight against Jing. It was written before Wu. According to the years since Cao Cao's birth and death, Cao Cao was already fifty-three years old at this time. In that era, when medical conditions were underdeveloped, it was indeed amazing to be able to live to be fifty-three years old. This reminded Cao Cao of his life, so he felt infinite emotion at the beginning of the poem.

This poem means that human survival and extinction cannot violate the laws of nature. Since the result is known, we must have the never-stop ideal pursuit and a positive and enterprising spirit, always be optimistic and vigorous, keep our thoughts youth, and keep making progress.

Such a philosophical poem full of real experience of life shines with the light of philosophical wisdom, bursts out the passion for progress, and sounds an optimistic tone, showing Cao Cao's self-improvement spirit and his optimistic spirit of loving life.

How can I say that when Hou Junji read this poem... Everyone knows Sima Zhao's heart, he wants to make progress. In fact, Li Jing saw through Hou Junji's thoughts very early, but unfortunately, Li Shimin didn't believe Li Jing at all.

Li Jing was first an official of the Sui Dynasty and was very loyal to the Sui Dynasty. When the capital of the Sui Dynasty was captured and destroyed in name only, he chose to follow the most powerful Li Tang. Li Jing was a genius in military affairs. Li Shimin recognized Li Jing's talent in this area, but because Li Jing's military talent was very high, Li Shimin was also guarding against him.

Hou Junji liked to study military affairs, but his level was not high, so Li Shimin ordered Li Jing to teach him.

But just when Li Jing was teaching Hou Junji, he found that Hou Junji was an ambitious person because Li Jing was a careful person. One day after the morning court, he saw Hou Junji riding a horse back to the yamen.

But when he arrived in front of the Shangshu Province, he forgot to stop and still walked forward, obviously thinking about big things. Li Jing concluded from this that Hou Junji must have the intention of rebellion, but the time was not right and it was not shown.

So when Li Jing taught Hou Junji, he deliberately taught less core things. Who knew that this angered Hou Junji and occupied Li Shimin's favor. Hou Junji immediately gave Li Shimin a message.

The above table says that Li Jing didn't teach him carefully at all. Every time he went to a critical place, he would skip it. Obviously, he did not take the emperor's will to heart, and he must have wanted to rebel.

Li Shimin was also disliked Li Jing, so he immediately called Li Jing out and cursed him. Why didn’t he teach Hou Junji well and scolded Li Jing for a long time?

Li Jing was also suffering. He couldn't say that he didn't stop when he saw Hou Junji reaching the gate of the Shangshu Province, so he decided that this person was treasonable, because if he said this, Li Shimin would definitely not believe it.

Fortunately, Li Jing was very smart, and he immediately fought back and said that Hou Junji had a rebellious intention.

Li Shimin doesn’t understand. It’s obviously Hou Junji who told you that he had a rebellious heart. Why did you say that Hou Junji had a rebellious heart at this time?

Li Jing then analyzed to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty is peaceful now, and the military strategy I teach him is enough to maintain national stability. But he is not satisfied with these things and wants to learn deeper skills. This is not obvious that he is selfish, but he wants to rebel. It is him who is falsely accusing me now, which is really unreasonable."

Li Shimin was slightly stunned when he first heard this, but after analyzing it, he thought it made sense after careful consideration.

However, since he thought he had always been very good to Hou Junji, he could not have been rebellious. Therefore, Li Shimin no longer considered this matter, but no longer asked about the two of them about learning military arts.

Unfortunately, Li Shimin's love for talent was still in vain. A burly man appeared behind Hou Junji after he finished reading the poems of Hou Junji.

Hou Junji did not look back, but asked lightly: "How are you all prepared?"

Then I heard the other party answer: "The turbulent oil has been stored for 2,000 kilograms, which is enough to burn that place to ashes... and there are also crossbows, equipment, armor, and horses... the prince has also sent it over to equip our five thousand people."

With a smile, Hou Junji faintly said, "That's good... Chengqian's son is still too young and doesn't look like his son at all. As long as he appears with a meritorious official, he will fight to suppress him desperately. I destroyed a country and made great contributions. I actually came back and was detained. I have seen through Li Shimin.

It’s him that he is unkind, so don’t blame me for being unrighteous. In a month, he will go to Jiucheng Palace to escape the summer heat. At that time, it will be our best opportunity...!"

Jiucheng Palace is located in Linyou County, Baoji, Shaanxi Province. Due to the high terrain, the climate in Linyou is cool in the morning and evening. The annual temperature is 2-9 degrees Celsius and the summer resort of emperors of the Sui and Tang Dynasties. The surrounding rivers are crisscrossed and the land is fertile.

The building of Jiucheng Palace is centered on Tiantai Mountain, five miles west of Linyou County. Although this mountain is not high, its sunset cliffs rise, it leads the Dushui River in the south, and the Mafang River in the northwest, surrounded by mountains, and there is also water flowing in it. The scenery is beautiful. The palaces and pavilions are built according to the height of the mountain. According to the [Jiucheng Palace Liquan Inscription] written by Wei Zheng, the Guanshan Anti-District Hall, the high pavilions are built around, and the corridors are full of.

Li Shimin comes every year, and every spring and winter, he always lives for months and half a year before returning to Chang'an City. Because of this, this place is called the Summer Palace.

"But can your combat power fight against the famous Xuanjia Army..."

When Hou Junji asked a smile, the burly man on the side showed a firm look: "The 1,008 dead soldiers in the Northern Palace have longed for too long. The Northern Palace was the most powerful army in the world, but unfortunately he did not meet the wise master later.

But now it’s different. Our Northern Palace has met the wise master. This time, the Northern Palace will definitely not disappoint the wise master. We will definitely kill hundreds of cavalry and make a world of thought...!"

"Okay..." Hou Junji laughed: "That's awesome, I will win this battle..."

Few people in the Northern Prefecture have heard of this army, which was once an army formed by Emperor Xiaowu of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. It was originally controlled by the Xie family with all their strength, but then the Xie family declined and changed hands several times.

The original intention of forming this army was to resist the invasion of the Qin people in the north. In fact, they did it. In the battle with Qin, the Northern Mansion soldiers defeated the Qin army's soldiers in the Battle of Feishui, and since then they became famous and became famous in one battle.

Unfortunately, less than two years later, the Xie family lost control of the Northern Mansion soldiers, and the Northern Mansion soldiers were divided into multiple parts and led by many people. Therefore, the once famous Northern Mansion soldiers declined since then.

But the Xie family was not dead. Hou Junji accidentally saved a slave, and this slave was once a member of the Xie family. In order to recreate the glory of his Xie family, the Xie family began to serve Hou Junji.

At that time, the Northern Palace Army of Hou Junji also made great efforts. Do you think Gaochang is easy to fight?

You should know that Gaochang has a population of only 30,000... But Li Shimin sent 200,000 people to attack, but Gaochang was not afraid of these 200,000 people, because Gaochang's periphery was a desert of two thousand miles.

The Tang soldiers are here! King Qu Wentai of Gaochang didn't believe this news at all. Who should I deceive? The Tang Dynasty is 7,000 miles away from Gaochang, and there are 2,000 miles of desert in the middle, without water plants. The cold wind is like a knife at night, and the heat waves are like burning during the day. If you pass the army? Don't even think about it.

Qu Wentai was a person who had seen the world. During the reign of Emperor Yang of Sui, he visited China, and the prosperity of China made him dumbfounded. During the reign of Li Shimin, he saw a depressed border, and the gap with Emperor Yang of Sui was simply heaven and earth. Based on this, he believed that Li Shimin was not as capable as Emperor Yang of Sui, and gradually had the idea of ​​leaving the Tang Dynasty.

Qu Wentai didn't believe the news that the Tang army came to Gaochang. No wonder, apart from the harsh geographical environment, the transportation of grain for the march was also a problem. How many people could the Tang soldiers come to such a long way?

Qu Wentai was confident that he could deal with it with it. He even thought that even if the Tang army was at the city and he would stay in the door and stay away, they would have enough food to stay in the city for up to 20 days. At that time, Gaochang would go out of the city and pursue it again, and tsk tsk...

But Qu Wentai did not expect that Hou Junji had a Northern Mansion Army under his command. The Northern Mansion Army, which had less than 2,000 people, had set a road for Hou Junji as fast as possible at the cost of killing 500 people.

Under such circumstances, Hou Junji would have fought so quickly at the city of Gaochang. The Tang army was at the cikou and soon the troops were at the city. Qu Wentai was stupid, and Li Shimin was actually here! The Tang army could really run 7,000 miles and cross 2,000 miles of desert to the distant Gaochang! Are they gods?

How could a small Western Region country compete with the Tang Empire? Qu Wentai was anxious and worried, not knowing what to do. However, he was soon relieved. Qu Wentai was anxious and frightened, unable to afford to get sick and died.

Originally, the Beifu Army could be famous in the world, but just when Hou Junji was about to report his merits to the Beifu Army, who knew that someone had begun to submit a complaint to Hou Junji for his crimes, and followed Li Shimin and even issued an order to denounce him.

At this moment, Hou Junji's rebellious intention began to move. Hou Junji is such a villain. The villain has one act, which is to like to leave a hand for himself. At this time, the Northern Army was the hand that Hou Junji left for him.

Unexpectedly, after returning to Chang'an, Hou Junji was directly imprisoned by Li Shimin. What's even more annoying is that Li Shimin locked up himself who had the great contribution of destroying the country and showed a kind face.

At that moment, Hou Junji felt disgusted by Li Shimin. His biggest wish was to kill Li Shimin. Finally, Li Chengqian had contacted him, and Hou Junji was delighted.

Li Chengqian is a fool. He pretended to help this guy, marry his daughter to him and confuse him, and let Li Chengqian trust him. In the end, he killed Li Chengqian again.

At this time, Li Chengqian was still foolishly thinking that his father-in-law was helping him wholeheartedly.
