"Think of that year, Jinge iron horse, swallowed like a tiger" A poem by Xin Abandoned Disease in that year is still fresh in my memory, and this poem is also the most true portrayal of the life of Liu Yu, the Emperor of Song Wu: starting from poverty, joining the army in middle age, not being confused before he came out of the crowd, calming the rebellion of Huan Xuan, Sun En, and Sima Xiu internally, destroying Southern Yan, Later Qin, and crushing Northern Wei.
In that era of war and chaos, Liu Yu can be said to have created a myth, in our previous cognition, it was always cavalry chasing infantry artillery, but in Liu Yu's hands, the Northern Hu people were all afraid to hear Liu Yu's name, and the Beifu Army, known for its bravery in the water army, was invincible in the Central Plains.
However, Liu Yu could have created greater merits, due to the unexpected death of one person, all of which came to an abrupt end, he was Liu Yu's chief adviser at the time, Liu Muzhi, who heard the news of Liu Muzhi's illness and death coming from the rear when Liu Yu recaptured Chang'an and prepared for further Northern Expedition, and Liu Yu had to leave a small number of people to guard Chang'an for his own plot, and he led his army back to Jiankang.
Some people once asserted that if Liu Muzhi did not die, then with Liu Yu's great talent, then the great cause of the unification of ancient China would be at least more than a hundred years ahead of schedule. Unfortunately, it is impossible.
We do not deny Liu Yu's great talent, and the editor even believes that compared with Tang Zong, Song Zu and Zhu Yuanzhang, Liu Yu's military and political talent is not much more than them, but Liu Yu's situation at that time was more dangerous than that of Tang Zong and Song Zu, because the Wei and Jin Southern and Northern Dynasties were the most powerful period of China's door valve power, and this period can be called a period of talent, a large number of unique heroes in Chinese history have shined in the history of wei and Jin southern and northern dynasties, and at that time there were two people who could be called the biggest obstacle to Liu Yu's domination of the world. It can be said that there are two people in Liu Yu who are absolutely difficult to unify:
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > Hushahelian Bo</h1>
If many people who are familiar with the Wei and Jin Dynasties and the Northern and Southern Dynasties must have heard of Helian Bobo's great name, that is, this person single-handedly destroyed Liu Yu's Northern Expedition, causing Chang'an City to be regained and lost, and Liu Yu's elite Northern Fu army was almost completely reimbursed in this great war.
For Helian Bobo, the first impression of the editor is that he is not a qualified politician, nor is he a qualified emperor, and it can even be said that he is a "devil", compared with the "great demon king" Shi Hu in the Later Zhao period, Helian Bobo's ferocity can be said to be not to mention more.
However, Helian Bobo was a genius strategist and military expert, and his strategic vision in that era was absolutely rare, and when Later Qin was in the ascendant, he dragged the entire Later Qin down with a weak brigade.
At that time, Later Qin Yao Xing was in power, and Later Qin could be said to be strong for a while, and Helian Bobo clearly knew that a head-on confrontation was definitely not an opponent of Later Qin, so he adopted the method of "guerrilla warfare", using the rapid movement and strike ability of cavalry to break through the defenses of Later Qin everywhere, and Later Qin was helpless against Helian Bobo's tactics, and finally helian Bobo was dragged down alive by Helian Bobo, and it can be said that Liu Yu destroyed Hou Qin, and there was also Helian Bobo's merits behind it.
And when Liu Yu's Northern Expedition was in Later Qin, Helian Bobo had asserted that Liu Yu absolutely could not hold Chang'an, because he had seen through that Liu Yu's Northern Expedition was definitely not to unify the world, its purpose was only to take the Eastern Jin Dynasty and replace it, so he would never stay in Chang'an after this.
Of course, even Helian Bobo himself did not have confidence in confronting Liu Yu head-on, but Liu Muzhi's unexpected death gave Helian Bobo the opportunity, and after that, taking advantage of liu Yu's internal strife and the lack of leader, he defeated Liu Yu's subordinates Zhu Chaoshi, Zhu Lingshi, Fu Hongzhi and many other famous generals of the Northern Province, only Tan Daoji followed Liu Yu to the south at that time and escaped the disaster, that is, this great war withered the later generals of the Liu Song Dynasty, which directly led to Liu Yilong's lack of generals, and the only Tan Daoji himself did not trust.
It can be said that as long as Helian Bobo is there, Liu Yu's Northern Expedition will definitely not be so smooth, because in addition to Liu Yubei's military account, only a few people can defeat Helian Bobo, perhaps Wang Zhen evil can, but Liu Yu is assured to let him take power?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > the first hero of the northern Wei dynasty: the northern Wei clan leader Cui Hao</h1>
Perhaps many people think that the biggest obstacle to Liu Yu's Northern Expedition was the Northern Wei at that time, so it is true that the Northern Wei at that time could not be compared with Liu Song, because the Northern Wei unified the north was still twenty years later, and at this time, the Northern Wei Tuoba Tao was still only a teenager, and there was no chance to compete with Liu Yuyi, at this time, the Northern Wei family was still Tuoba Si, because the light of his father and son was too bright, so that he was embarrassed, because the ability could not be compared with these two people.
However, at that time, there was another figure in Northern Wei that was definitely worthy of Liu Yu's jealousy, that is, Cui Hao, the chief strategist of Tuoba Si, the leader of the Northern Scholars, who could be said to be a person who could compete with the Former Qin King Meng in the impression of the editor, and he assisted the three generations of Northern Wei monarchs, and it can be said that as long as Northern Wei was there, Liu Yu's Northern Expedition was still hindered.
Northern Wei Cui Hao not only assisted Tuoba Si in governing Northern Wei, but also had a lot of military vision, when Liu Yu was northernly attacking After Qin, Tuoba Si wanted to take advantage of the opportunity, but Cui Hao objected, because he believed that in Liu Yu's hands, Northern Wei absolutely could not escape the cheap, it turned out that Cui Hao's vision was not wrong, northern Wei general Sun Song led an army of thirty thousand to follow Liu Yu, wanted to sneak attack at the time of Liu Yu and Later Qin's battle, did not expect to be defeated by Liu Yu with two thousand people on the Yellow River, that is, this battle "but the moon array" appeared in history.
However, Cui Hao's evaluation of Liu Yu was: "Military talent wins over Murong Chui", and predicted the demise of Later Qin, it can be said that although Cui Hao did not personally go to the battlefield, he had a keen insight into the battle situation, it can be said that behind tuoba Tao's fierce and prestigious town was Cui Hao's support.
Because Tuoba Tao is good at using soldiers to take risks, so dangerous that sometimes even he doubts himself, at this time he will ask Cui Hao for advice, as long as Cui Hao agrees to his plan, then for Tuoba Tao, this plan is equivalent to half the success.
Therefore, for Liu Yu, with these few people, it was still quite difficult for him to succeed in the Northern Expedition. Perhaps this is Liu Yu's life, xiongcai is roughly compared to those emperors in history, but unfortunately, he encountered the heroic Wei and Jin Southern and Northern Dynasties, and the opponents he faced were all "BUG" level, but if Liu Yu could be ten years in the morning, the situation might be much better.
