970 , the death of the rabbit and the fox sorrow
After Gao Jianwu's bloody suppression, no one in Pyongyang City dared to continue to talk about Gao Jianwu's killing of Yizhi Wende's family. On the other hand, although the army was responsible for suppressing the things discussed, Gao Jianwu did not realize that the biggest loss in this matter was the morale of the army. Yizhi Wende could be said to be the God of the military in Goguryeo in this era and had a great influence in the army. Even if he had passed away, many Goguryeo people were all godlike figures. But now the war god in their minds was treated like this, and they could not be at peace after death. Now they were speechless. All of this will gradually be expressed.
"Your Majesty, we have recently obtained the surrender of many defenders in Pyongyang City of Goguryeo. They are willing to surrender to our Tang Dynasty at critical moments. However, there is no surrender to our senior generals. Maybe they are being watched too tightly, or for some other reason, but I think there should be a surrender of the intermediate generals soon. So now the Goguryeo King can be said to be full of people's hearts! At that time, the hearts of the Goguryeo people belong to our Tang Dynasty, so as long as our army attacks, it may be able to conquer them." Jing Wen said with a giggle.
The Silla Queen Jin Deman next to him also said rarely: "General Jingwen said it well. Originally, General Jingwen said that the strongest fortresses were all broken from the inside, but now I believe it. This time General Jingwen's brilliant plan has truly conquered Goguryeo's heart!"
"His Majesty the Queen doesn't have to praise me. I have never supported the use of strange strategies. The reason why this time was that my Tang Dynasty's army was too stressed, and the King of Goguryeo had to do so. If it weren't for the powerful military power of my Tang Dynasty, they would not have surrendered. And all of this is the emperor's wise and magical martial arts, and I am just an errand runner." Jing Wen said.
"Hahaha, General Jingwen is so humble!" Jin Deman laughed.
Jing Wen suddenly became confused. This queen is indeed good! The queen's style is indeed different from that of ordinary women. With the coat of the king, it is indeed extraordinary.
"She seems to be not married yet, and it seems that she has no descendants in her life. Is there any reason here?" Jing Wen couldn't help but mutter in her heart.
Li Shimin continued: "This time the generals of Goguryeo surrendered was actually just a matter of the trance of the rabbit and the fox."
The so-called "Rabbit dies and foxes" means that the rabbit dies and the fox is sad. This doesn't seem to matter. In fact, it means that the rabbit and fox have the same enemy, that is, the hunter. Once the rabbit dies, the hunter's next target is the fox, so the fox is sad. This means that the alliance is an alliance. Or people with the same status and status feel sad for the other party. It's like the emperor killing a certain minister, and another minister who is all allying with him also feels sad. Although it does not threaten him, he is also worried that one day he will end up with the same fate.
This time, the family of Yizhi Wende was killed, and the Goguryeo King Gao Jianwu could be said to have been trapped in the Tang Dynasty. Next, Gao Jianwu ordered the army to suppress the people who were discussing, which really made the army lose their loyalty. Yizhi Wende was the war god of Goguryeo and made such a great contribution to the country, but you still treat his family members and descendants like this, and then the hearts of the army are very unstable. People want the army to fight to the death. Then the government must take good care of their families. If they die on the front line, but their family members are still bullied by some playboys, those living comrades will be saddened by the dead rabbit and the fox.
"Your Majesty, this time you can enthrone the Yizhi Wende. It's a wonderful move! The Goguryeo people were very concerned about surrendering to our Tang Dynasty. However, after enthroning the Yizhi Wende this time, countless Goguryeo people knew the emperor's benevolence and did not hold grudges. There were many people who were willing to take the initiative to enthrone the Tang Dynasty. This would be of great help to our conquest of Goguryeo!" Jing Wen said.
"Haha, I'm just learning from my predecessors' experience." Li Shimin said.
Li Shimin meant to learn from his predecessors, and Jing Wen also understood what this predecessor meant. Li Shimin meant that Liu Bang, the Emperor of Han, became emperor. In fact, there were many people who were enemies with Liu Bang under Xiang Yu, and they were afraid that Liu Bang would take revenge. Later, someone suggested that Liu Bang reward a man named Yong Chi. This Yong Chi was the one who offended Liu Bang the most ruthless and took the most merciless attack on Liu Bang. At first, Liu Bang did not want to enthrone the title, but Liu Bang thought it was good not to kill him. But later Liu Bang still rewarded him, because only by rewarding Yong Chi could everyone feel at ease.
Because everyone sees that even Yong Chi, who offended Liu Bang the most ruthless and acted the most ruthlessly against Liu Bang, has received a heavy reward. So, aren’t those who have not offended that ruthlessly still able to receive preferential treatment or even more rewards?
Now Li Shimin gave this Yizhi Wende a thick posthumous title, which means learning from Liu Bang's behavior back then. Those Goguryeo people who saw that Yizhi Wende, who killed hundreds of thousands of Han people and even insulted the Han corpses, could receive such a heavy reward and posthumous title, even if it was just a reputation, were very moved. Those who thought they did not have much blood debt to the Han people could take the initiative to surrender, not only would they not be killed, but would receive a heavy reward. There is also a saying that a thousand gold coins were in this, so these two were implemented together.
Of course, no one knows the dirty things here. Li Shimin would never say that Yizhi Wende's family was hinting that Gao Jianwu killed him. Now that Gao Jianwu has killed Yizhi Wende's family, all the responsibility is borne by Gao Jianwu. Gao Jianwu became this evil person for Li Shimin.
This also solved a problem. Anyway, if Goguryeo is conquered by then, then how to deal with the family of Yizhi Wende will be a problem. If you kill it, it would not be good. But if you don’t kill it, you will not be able to explain to the people and soldiers. So now Li Shimin uses Gao Jianwu’s hands to kill these Yizhi Wende’s family. This will make his hands clean and reduce a lot of trouble for himself. In the end, Li Shimin used the waste to posthumously seal the Yizhi Wende, which immediately won the hearts of many people of the Goguryeo.
