Once upon a time, when the Han Dynasty was gradually declining, the government and the opposition were already in chaos. In the Three Kingdoms period, it was even more full for a while, Han, Wei, and Shu divided the world, and no one let anyone be heroic. Until the Jin Dynasty appeared for a short period of unification, it was soon broken up and returned to the troubled times of war. During the so-called Sixteen Kingdoms and Northern and Southern Dynasties, the north was ruled by several Han dynasties and some foreign powers, while the south was ruled by the descendants of the Han Chinese. So in this treacherous and chaotic era, which talented person is the most promising to reunify the country?
Wang Meng, Murong Chui, Liu Yu, Tuoba Tao, Yu Wenyong, they are all outstanding people with unique skills, wisdom and bravery, and they all have earth-shattering deeds. If we could give them another 20 more years, what kind of historical reversal would it have? Presumably, this question has also aroused the curiosity of many readers and friends.
Speaking of this Wang Meng, he can be described as the former Qin Fujian's military advisor and chief strategist. When it comes to the ability of strategy, Wang Meng is comparable to Zhuge Liang, who can combine the strengths of Han Xin, Zhang Liang, and Xiao He, and is actually one of the top ten strategists in ancient times. It was with Wang Meng's advice that the former Qin was able to grow from a tribal barbarian to a cohesive state. It can be said that without the assistance of Wang Meng, a military advisor, Fu Jian would not have been able to establish his own country in the war-torn era at that time.
The "Golden Knife Scheme" of intrigue and intrigue and meticulous calculation step by step came from Wang Meng. This strategy led to the almost annihilation of Murong Trai's Murong Army, but fortunately, Fu Jian's merciful subordinates were merciful, otherwise Murong Trai would not have survived the later subversion of Qianyan in the later period. If history could give Wang Meng 20 more years, I believe that the situation in the north would be very different. With the assistance of his wisdom, the former Qin will surely sweep away the internal troubles, unite as one, and defeat foreign enemies such as Murong Xianbei and the Qiang people, and truly unify the north.
By that time, Murong Chui and the others would have been unable to escape and were completely suppressed by the former Qin of this "imperial division". In addition, Wang Meng foresaw the prospect that the Eastern Jin Dynasty would not be able to protect itself, as long as he seized the opportunity to go south, the goal of national reunification would be just around the corner. Unfortunately, history is always ruthless, and the brave Wang Meng died young in 375, and the former Qin gradually declined.
Speaking of Murong Chui, his military command skills are indeed first-class, and he has defeated many fierce generals such as Huan Wen, Liu Gaozhi, and Murong Yong. But as a ruler, his political philosophy and way of employing people are really unsatisfactory.
Although Murong Trai has fought countless battles and has a great reputation, his mind and vision are really narrow. He only wanted to restore the territory of the former Yan Empire, and even if he recaptured Hebei and Shandong, he did not take the unification of the entire continent as his goal at all. Moreover, Murong Chui has no successor, the most talented next generation has been killed and injured in that "Golden Knife Strategy", and the rest of Murong Lin and Murong Bao are all straw bales, where can they unify the world?
Even if Murong Chui is given an extra 20 years to live, he is 90 years old, to deal with Liu Yu, the "imperial harvester" who has just entered his heyday, is simply seeking skin with the tiger, and the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked. Although Liu Yu was from a humble background, he had extraordinary talent in military command, and the "Moon Array" in which 2,700 infantry defeated an army of 40,000 cavalry was admirable. Cui Hao has commented like this, "It is easy for Murong to rejuvenate the territory by relying on the foundation of his ancestors, and it is really difficult for Liu Yu to start a business from a cold family."
Give Liu Yu 20 years, and the Southern Dynasty will probably submit to his great cause of unification. However, it is unlikely that the entire continent will be completely unified, because at that time, there was still Tuoba Tao, a "young Whampoa", in the north. In the face of Tuoba Tao, who is only 16 years old, Liu Yu, a veteran in his 60s, may not be able to bear it, especially Tuoba Tao's young heroes and Lu Xiao's bravery, who have made 13 expeditions to the grassland Rouran Empire without any defeat. The battle of the Northern Wei Dynasty to break the Rouran was even more shocking to China and foreign countries, and the offensive even spanned thousands of miles.
Therefore, Liu Yu lived for 20 more years, at most, he compressed the Northern Wei Dynasty in a corner of Hebei and Shanxi, seized Guanzhong and Henan, and formed a confrontation between the north and the south. When Tuoba Tao succeeded to the throne, the Southern Song Dynasty would have to fight against the water, and there was a danger of being defeated at any time. Although the dispute between the Song and Ming dynasties lasted for 300 years, in fact, the Song Dynasty only barely maintained itself in the southeast region, and it would be destroyed at any time like the Eastern Wu.
If Tuoba Tao had lived another 20 years, the situation would have been completely different. According to his bravery and mastery of military theory, it was not impossible to unify the country. But in the end, it was because of its tyranny, love of killing and plundering, and the boiling of public resentment and missed the opportunity. Coupled with the reinstatement of the army, the Northern Wei Dynasty suffered from the enemy, and in the end there was no hope of unification.
In contrast, Yuwen Yong actually has the best chance of unifying the whole country. He inherited the strong foundation of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, coupled with his excellent strategy and determination, and the most important thing is that the current situation has matured. At that time, as long as they did not act violently and recklessly and held their positions, it was only a matter of time before they destroyed the declining Southern Dynasty. In fact, Yuwen Yong personally conquered the Northern Qi and quickly realized the unification of the north.
After that, as long as the internal disputes within the Southern Dynasties continued and the territory was lost, the Northern Zhou Dynasty could seize the opportunity and rely on the overwhelming superiority in strength to wipe out the Southern Dynasties that had gone through the "Hou Jing Rebellion". At that time, the Southern Dynasty was already at the end of the crossbow, and if he encountered a master like Yu Wenyong again, he would inevitably die in more than 10,000 mountains.
It's a pity that Yuwen Yong died young, which led to a chaotic situation in the later Northern Zhou Dynasty where the eunuch party competed for power, which allowed Yang Jian to get ahead and establish the Sui Dynasty. If Yuwen Yong can live for another 20 years, the Sui and Tang dynasties may not be able to appear on the stage of history. The great cause of reunification is already in sight, and as long as we stabilize our position, we can dominate the world and open a new era.
Throughout history, in order to accomplish the great cause of reunification, it is really necessary to have both wisdom and courage. If you only talk about martial bravery, Murong Chui, Liu Yu, and Tuoba Tao are all a generation of fierce generals worthy of praise. However, whether reunification can be further achieved requires political wisdom, foresight, and determination. Although Wang Meng and Yu Wenyong are not omnipotent masterminds, it is with their advice and advice that they helped the country through the most difficult period, and finally seized the great opportunity given by history to dominate the world. Therefore, only with power and courage can the cause of the emperor be achieved. #头条首发大赛#
