Later generations have different evaluations of Li Zhi. Often when he is mentioned, the first reaction is: He looks like Wu Zetian's husband, right? Or: Is he Li Shimin's son? If Li Zhiquan knew what he was doing, he would be so angry that he would die again.

Without the stain of Wu Zetian (only for the person involved), Li Zhi was a good emperor, definitely a ruler who could rank among the five thousand years of Chinese civilization. When he was the prince, Li Zhi was known as "Benevolence and Filial Piety".

He also ascended to the throne by virtue of "benevolence and filial piety". There is no need to go into detail about "filial piety", but this "benevolence" is indeed deeply popular among the people. During his thirty-five years in power, Li Zhi, who was known as a benevolent monarch, did indeed do a lot of practical things for the people with all his heart.

, laying a solid foundation for the future Kaiyuan and Tang Dynasties.

Domestic benevolence has continued, the people's corvee has been continuously reduced, roads and bridges have been built, freedom of speech has been broadened, penalties have been reduced, merchants are treated well, and a series of enlightened policies that benefit the country and the people have made the country that has just experienced war soar, and has "Yonghui"

"The government of the country, the people of Fu'an, have quite a legacy of Zhenguan".

I'm afraid no one in this world wants to live under the halo of Lao Tzu, especially when he has worked hard and achieved great results, and was praised by others with a seemingly praising comment: "There is quite a legacy of Zhenguan." No matter how filial Li Zhi is, he is still a human being, and

He was a very ambitious man. If we look at his territorial ambitions alone, he might have surpassed Li Shimin by a lot. In his lifetime, he successively conquered Goryeo, Baekje, Kucha, Gaochang, and the Western Turkic countries, and merged them

After entering the territory, it formed a huge territory that would put future generations to shame. If it were not difficult to adapt to the harsh plateau climate, Tubo might have been included in the territory long ago and a Tubo Protectorate or something like that was established.

Judging from his actions during his decades in power, Li Zhi, Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, was a different kind of emperor. He was lenient at home and strict at the outside, changing the national image of a king at home and a sage at the outside. He was lenient and benevolent at home, and retaliated externally. He would kill him with force at the slightest chance.

One blow, the killing is decisive and impressive.

Li Zhi, who is now young and strong, is making great achievements in the Korean peninsula. Su Dingfang and the Silla allied forces are aiming at Baekje, attacking the city, and have recovered 21 Silla cities occupied by Baekje. Two of the army

The troops had already penetrated into Baekje territory, cutting off the retreat of the Baekje-Mohe coalition forces. Liu Rengui and Xue Rengui attacked Goryeo from a flank. Goryeo was mountainous and the offensive was relatively gentle. The two generals fought steadily and were able to compress the Goryeo people to the front line of Pyongyang.

with the intention of forcing a decisive battle.

"With the war on two fronts, the imperial court is under a lot of pressure." As a mid-level staff officer of the military department, he couldn't help but worry from his position. He reached for a bamboo stick and inserted it on the sand table. "Korea is very mountainous, so there are restrictions."

If the cavalry is used against the infantry alone, our army will suffer too many casualties and the gains will not be worth the losses. You see, from here on, if the Koryo people defend step by step, even if our army reaches the gates of Pyongyang, the price paid will be difficult to estimate. Now

I'm a little anxious to take action. If we wait for General Su Dingfang to capture Baekje and organize the Silla-Baekje puppet coalition expedition, our army's losses can be minimized." He drew a line on the sand table with his hand and said, "Our army is already here.

Starting here, relatively speaking, important areas have been occupied and can be temporarily stationed. With this as the center, the offensive is gradually slowed down, and teams with experience in mountain warfare are sent to the rear to "harass" and destroy. Korea has little food, and is now

During the lean period, destroy the villages and burn the grain stores, and wait for General Su's reinforcements to arrive. Attack from three sides, and Koryeo will be able to capture it easily."

"Another nonsense." Lanling stretched out his hand and pulled out the bamboo stick I inserted. "The war against Baekje is intense. How can we rely on a three-sided attack? What if we can't take Baekje before August? Gao Litian

It's cold and mountainous. It's hard for our army to spend the winter here. Wouldn't waiting another year delay the opportunity to fight?"

He reached out and patted his forehead. It was a mistake. Modern people always ignore the problems caused by the seasons. "You are right, I didn't think it through. But according to General Su's current style of play, it is estimated that hundreds of Mohe coalition forces have been defeated by this time."

Hold on, maybe it's possible that the decisive battle has already started. After all, the military report we got was the news from a month ago. Look, "I took a few more bamboo sticks and inserted them on the border between Baekje and Silla."

Our army has cut off its retreat. With General Su's ability, he will never let the opponent take advantage of it. A decisive battle with our army is the enemy's only option. It is estimated that we will receive good news from the front in the next few days. It is really good.

Looking forward to it." When I said this, I couldn't help but feel my heart surge, and a kind of arrogance as a citizen of a powerful country suddenly rose. A real feeling, a complex that had never appeared before, the evil feudal dynasty was at this time.

The loveliness in my heart is so great that I actually have the idea of ​​​​waiting for the news of good news to give all the servants in the palace a monthly salary increase. Maybe I am very intoxicated, and my expression is a bit exaggerated.

"Good penetration," Lan Ling pushed me gently, waking me up from my intoxication, "I have many soldiers and generals, and the country is majestic. Even if I attack this small country, even if I win a big victory, it is expected and there is no need.

Make you look like this." He leaned over and looked at the sand table carefully, "Don't always think about Su Dingfang's commanding troops to attack Goryeo. After this decisive battle, Baekje has no troops left, so it is a good idea to incorporate Baekje into the territory.

When the time comes, the imperial court will not give up, and it is imperative that the army enters Baekje to fight."

"It's inappropriate." I think this is not good. Historically, the Tang army swept Goryeo and Baekje, but it took advantage of Silla and promoted the unification of the Korean peninsula. The victory is exciting, but the ending is very frustrating. I

The sons and daughters of the Chinese nation sacrificed their lives and fought with passion and sacrifice, but in the end the Silla people took advantage in vain. "Didn't I tell you the last time the war started? Baekje is far away from me, the Tang Dynasty, even if it is merged into the territory, it will not be enough."

It is an enclave with no use value at all. It is a waste of manpower and food, and the gain is not worth the loss. But Goryeo is completely different. It borders our country. Once occupied, our army will be able to directly face Silla and Baekje. Moreover, the terrain is dangerous, as long as it is cleared

Domestic rebellion can be used as a military buffer zone. Let Baekje and Silla fight vigorously in the southern peninsula. According to my opinion, Mohe and Wa can join in. The more lively they fight, the better it will be for our country.

With the current situation, Silla is cooperating with our army to fight Fengshun. Even if General Su sends troops to Goryeo, Silla will not miss the opportunity to beat the drowned dog, and the deeper the relationship between it and Baekje will be.

Okay. Since then, our country has not only annexed Goryeo, but also left an opportunity for the annexation of Silla and Baekje in the future. Maybe Mohe and Japan will not escape this disaster." When I said this, I felt happy in my heart and smiled secretly.

Get up and wipe away all the resentment in your heart.

Lan Ling was listening to my plan carefully, but was affected by my obscene laughter, "Don't laugh like that, like a night owl. As a 'Youwuwei Recorder', you can write down your ideas in a notebook and submit it

Go up and just talk and bluff people at home for a day. Although your official position is not high now, you have such a great reputation as a military strategist. No one dares to take you seriously, so why not give it a try?"

"Isn't it good that I look like this now?" I glanced at Lan Ling, "It's not enough to have you as the messenger, you have to let me jump out and show off in person?"

"What are you talking about?" Lan Ling twisted his waist slightly, with a look of reluctance on his face, "I am obsessed with money, I pretend to be good, but I am full of ghosts and ghosts."

"Tch, pretend I don't know. Tell the truth, have you ever told anyone about these things we have been discussing all day long?" You look so bad, pretend I don't know. I went to Youwuwei's headquarters a few days ago.

When I arrived, I discovered that there was an exquisite sand table placed in the subordinate office, but I had never seen such a thing before. After asking a few colleagues, I realized that now all the staff departments of the Forbidden Army soldiers on Guanzhong Road have prepared this thing.

Moreover, the Ministry of War also specially formulated the specifications and proportions for the sand table. It was not Lan Ling’s fault. Of course, that handsome old man from the Du family was also involved. He laughed and said: "How about I change this sand table for us to the one set by the Ministry of War?

Is it that size? It is indeed more convenient to use than ours. What do you think, madam?"

"Go!" Lan Ling blushed because of me. He was probably extremely embarrassed. He rushed up to me and hit me on the back a few times. He said bitterly: "You don't want to save any face for me. How could you talk like that?"

!" Suddenly he leaned on me again and said softly: "This sand table is really useful. The tactical deduction makes the battle situation clear at a glance, which facilitates the general's in-depth analysis of the situation and reduces unnecessary casualties of soldiers. This credit will be recorded in my book.

It's on your head. For this matter, I estimate that the imperial court will receive a reward in the next few days, so you have to thank me."
