The Rebellion of the Eight Kings of the Western Jin Dynasty greatly reduced the country's power, and the Five Husbands ravaged China, killing people like crazy. It plunged the Han nation into an unprecedented crisis, allowing foreigners to rule the Central Plains and occupy the Chinese artifacts.

On this basis, the ruling class of the Hu people, that is, the Guanlong military aristocratic group was born. It originated from Daibei Wuchuan and was first built in Guanzhong. Its representative was the Eight Pillar Kingdom of the Western Wei Dynasty. Even in the north,

It went through several dynasties such as the Western Wei, Northern Zhou, Sui, and Tang, but in fact it was just an alternation of power between the eight pillar states and never fell into the hands of outsiders.

If we talk about it more specifically, then the existence of the Guanlong nobles can be equated to the aristocratic families in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the eunuch party and the Donglin party in the late Ming and Qing Dynasties, which belong to the kind of people who have a large number of talents, money, land and other means of production.

The monopoly power that has become the lifeblood of a country.

Of course, it would be inaccurate to just denounce the Guanlong Group as an alliance of barbarians. The existence of this alliance is actually composed of two parts -

The Han people who became Chinese, and the Han people who became Han people.

The representative of the former is today's Sui Dynasty. The Yang family where Yang Guang belongs is actually a famous family since the Han Dynasty, even the most famous family with four generations and three princes.

However, after the Wuhu rebellion in China, the Han families in the north were severely hit, so much so that Yang Jian's father Yang Zhong had to surrender to the Hu people and took refuge with the powerful official Yuwentai of the Western Wei Dynasty. After two generations of

Through hard work, Yang Jian finally gained power, conquered the world, and unified the world.

Of course, Yang Jian's ascension also dealt an unprecedented blow to the Guanlong nobles. After this majestic emperor unified the Central Plains, he struck the Guanlong nobles on the head with an ax several times, almost beating them.

Broken the backbone of a Hu military alliance.

In the final analysis, the Guanlong nobles are just a military group. Under the full strength of the founding emperor of a unified dynasty, even a powerful family will become a fish belly.

However, the Guanlong nobles could not help Yang Jian, but they could do anything to win over Yang Guang. With the secret cooperation of the Guanlong nobles, Yang Guang directly made three expeditions to Goguryeo. In addition to protecting his son, Zhang Xutuo and other Han generals did their best.

All the Hu generals were secretly holding back, and even a large number of noble disciples directly supported the rebellion of Yang Su's son Yang Xuangan, which brought down the entire Sui Dynasty.

Although Chu Tianxiu had captured Jiangdu, controlled the Sui Dynasty royal family, and directly became the first prince in the world, in terms of deep foundation, he was still much worse than the Guanlong Li Clan.

In comparison, Li Mi, Dou Jiande, Wang Shichong, Du Fuwei and other tycoons may seem powerful and arrogant, but in fact they are all a group of pioneers who cannot afford to be defeated even once.

Li Clan is another situation, they are Han Chinese people.

Especially since Chu Tianxiu captured the Sui royal family today and greatly benefited from it, he would naturally be backstabbed by the Sui Dynasty in the future, just like Cao Cao who was stabbed in the back by Liu Xie, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.

The effect of one plus one may not necessarily equal two, but may also equal ten.

"Lord, you don't have to worry. The Li clan is indeed powerful now, but as long as the Li clan doesn't wipe out the surrounding forces such as Xue Ju, Li Gui, Liu Wuzhou and other large and small forces, the Li clan will not be able to go south for a day. Since the Wu Huan chaos

Since the founding of China, the population in the south of the Yangtze River has gradually increased, so that Guanzhong no longer has the advantage of money and food.

That is not only because the Li clan has captured Taiyuan and Chang'an, and has obtained the most beautiful place in the Central Plains, but also because of the existence of the Li clan, it has become the representative of the Guanlong nobles. It has gained the foundation without losing it, and still has the most powerful military in the north.

The support of the powerful Guanlong nobles.

Really, after Chu Tianxiu fully understood this situation, he truly understood that Shi Feixuan, representing the Buddhist and Taoist families, chose Li Shimin as the master of the world, truly for the sake of all people.

If it is said that the Li clan has completely won the support of the Guanlong nobles, it is not the case. At least the two major Guanlong noble forces, the Yuwen clan and the Dugu clan, have not yet taken the Li clan into their eyes. However, after Li Yuan captured Chang'an, he gained the Guanlong clan.

After entering the land, he naturally gained the support of the Guanlong nobles in this land and became the co-owner of those Guanlong nobles.

If my lord can lead the entire south before the Li Clan goes south, and take Shandong, Hebei and other places as wings, he can march into Hedong, capture Taiyuan, and block the Li Clan within Hangu Pass."

Then the Great Sui Dynasty may die, but most likely it will only happen after Yang Guang dies of illness and old age, and passes to the third generation of the Sui Dynasty, just like the Qin Dynasty did back then, and the Great Sui Dynasty will be destroyed by ants.

Many elephants were bitten to death and died under the angry counterattacks of countless refugee rebels.

Although Li Clan has always claimed that he is a descendant of the Han general Li Guang, and has attributed the genealogy to the sage Laozi, this act of posthumously identifying his ancestors proves that the origins of the Li family are unknown. If there is really a lineage that can be passed down,

How could the tradition of attaching great importance to family background at that time be so vague? Eight generations of ancestors had already written it clearly and clearly.

With the support of these two pillars, Li Clan is as if he has an invincible golden body. Even if the battle is unfavorable and he is defeated again and again, he can quickly recuperate, restore his strength, and reorganize his army to fight again.

To put it bluntly, if it weren’t for the hatred and opposition of the Guanlong military group that controls the military and political power in the north, it would desperately hold back the country.

Yu Shinan and Xu Xing are actually rare wise men in the world, and they naturally understand the current situation in the world.

After Yu Shinan thought for a moment, he took out an atlas with mountains and rivers geography, drew his hand across Shandong and Hebei one by one, and finally pointed at Taiyuan, Shanxi, and said in a deep voice.

"As expected of Mr. Shi Nan, what he thinks and the strategy discussed by Xingzhi and I actually coincide with each other. In the final analysis, it is just a matter of speed. Whoever can win more territory first will be the winner.

The best winner. Mr. Shinan, to tell you the truth, I have thought about risking my life and assassinating Dou Jiande myself." Chu Tianxiu said with a wry smile.

"My lord, please don't take risks. Dou Jiande is just a mere person, not worthy of your personal action. If you, my lord, really need an assassin to take action, I will naturally find a way to find a qualified assassin and follow what Jing Ke did to leave and take Dou Jiande's head."

." Hearing this, Xu Xingzhi hurriedly spoke to persuade.

"Military advisor, you are kidding! How can the world's major events be entrusted to the hands of assassins? This time, I was indeed too impatient. The imperial power of the Sui Dynasty is indeed a good thing, and I can't help but immerse myself in it, and I can't help but use it.

emperor's perspective

Go and think about those things. Okay, the road has to be walked step by step, and the meal has to be eaten in stuttering steps. For now, let's wait until Li Jing and Li Baiyao take Shandong for our army, and then consider Hebei, Taiyuan, and Guanlong.

It’s not a good thing to aim too high.”
