In the Liang-Jin war for supremacy, Zhu Wen's luck was not only that Li Hanzhi suddenly brought Luzhou to surrender, but also in that year, Zhu Jian also surrendered with Shaanzhou.
Zhu Jian's previous resume was very simple, because he was only the younger brother of Wang Jue in Shaanzhou, and almost all other content was missing.
Regarding the resume of Wang Jue of Shaanzhou, this is more complicated to say, because it concerns the intertwining of interests between the two lineages of Wang Chongrong and Wang Chongying; it is also related to the vertical and horizontal opening and closing between Fengxiang Li Maozhen, Emperor Chang'an, and Li Keyong of Hedong.
Fortunately, omitting these contents does not affect our understanding of this history, so we will not say more.
Here, we only need to know that at the beginning, It was Li Fanhuo and his eldest brother Wang Jue who seized control of Shaanzhou and chose to defect to Zhu Wen; then Zhu Jian took li fancy and gained control of Shaanzhou, still choosing to defect to Zhu Wen.
Shaanzhou Jiedu made Wang Jue, a harsh man, and fought with his brother Ke in the river, and was defeated, and his teeth conspired with Li Fan and YouQian to kill Li Juan, attached to Liang, and Taizu cousin Bian Daijue. Yan Li, Youqian fu attacked it with troops, And Bian had to flee, and Liang Taizu and cousin Qian Daipan.
Zhu Jian surrendered with Shaanzhou, which was equivalent to allowing Zhu Wen to suddenly put his foot into Guanzhong and the river. How valuable this strategy is, we can imagine.
In the five generations, Zhu Jian was really a prominent figure, because after surrendering to Zhu Wen, Zhu Jian changed his name to Zhu Youqian. Zhu Wen's sons were called Zhu Youyu, Zhu Youjue, and Zhu Youzhen; Zhu Jian was named Zhu Youqian after he surrendered to Zhu Wen, and what this meant was also obvious.
After Zhu Jian surrendered to Zhu Wen, it was not unusual to recognize Zhu Wen as a dry father, because it was very popular to recognize a dry father in that era. The problem is that Zhu Jian later surrendered to Li Cunxun and changed his name to Li Jilin; Li Cunxun's sons were called Li Jiquan and Li Jitong; and what Zhu Jian named Li Jilin after surrendering to Li Cunxun was probably relatively clear; although It is said that Zhu Jian was much older than Li Cunxun.
The point is that only three people in the Later Tang Empire had ever received Danshu iron coupons, Zhu Jian was one of them, and the other two people who received Danshu iron coupons were Li Siyuan of Tang Mingzong, who later replaced Li Cunxun, and the other was Guo Chongtao, the first powerful minister of the Later Tang Dynasty; how high Zhu Jian's status in the Later Tang Empire was, everyone can imagine.
This is really the same force in the world.
Neither Li Hanzhi's surrender nor Zhu Jian's surrender was operated by Zhu Wen, or even within the plan, but they just chose to surrender to Zhu Wen.
Sometimes, when people look at history, they often focus on a few protagonists, so they always feel that other people are playing soy sauce. The question is that the fate of figures such as Li Hanzhi and Zhu Jian often has an immeasurable impact on the current situation.
The Zhu Wen group could go further, first Li Hanzhi brought Luzhou to descend; then Zhu Jian brought Shaanzhou to descend.
The Zhu Wen clique turned from prosperity to decline, first Ding Hui surrendered to Li Keyong with Luzhou; later, it was Zhu Jian who took Shaanzhou to Li Cunxun's side, and everything seemed to be the reincarnation of history.
Many times, when people look at history, they often focus on a few protagonists, so they always feel that their success and failure are completely the result of their subjective efforts. The problem is that many of the achievements are often unsolicited.
In the simplest terms, Li Hanzhi and Zhu Jian surrendered to Zhu Wen, and it seems that Zhu Wen did not operate it. Of course, Ding Hui and Zhu Jian turned to Li Ke with father and son, and it seems that Li Ke did not operate with father and son.
Although, at any time, the winner is always inseparable from their correct decision-making, and the loser is always inseparable from their wrong behavior. The problem is that the development and changes of history always have many contents that cannot be influenced by human beings.
If Li Cunxun died immediately after the fall of Former Shu, then Li Cunxun's historical image would be perfect. Because judging by Li Cunxun's achievements at that time, Li Cunxun was alive, and he would certainly be able to unify the world soon, and he would be able to hang the Khitan even more, and what would restore the prosperity of the Han and Tang Dynasties would certainly not be a problem.
The problem is that Li Cunxun lived for two or three more years, and people can only say that Li Cunxun was confused in his later period; otherwise, how can his later failure be explained?
In fact, great historical figures, who should die at critical times, usually end this way. Li Cunxun is just a more classic character. Similar figures include Tang Xuanzong.
If Tang Xuanzong died before the Anshi Rebellion, then people will inevitably say when they talk about the warlord rebellion that followed, and if Tang Xuanzong did not die, this would certainly not happen. Because looking at Tang Xuanzong's previous performance, people will definitely say, if Tang Xuanzong is alive, where will there be anything later?
The problem is that Tang Xuanzong deserves to die or not, so people can only say that he was old and confused in his old age, so he fainted one after another, without him, where would be the later events?
A similar character is Jian Jian, who died before the Battle of Shuishui. Then people will inevitably say that if Jian Jian does not die, it will definitely be like this. Because according to the situation at that time, who could have imagined that the heavenly Jian Jian would suddenly lose so badly? The problem is that Jian Jian should die or not, people can only say that he is proud; and even more will say that if Wang Meng lived, he would be like this.
I have repeatedly said here that when the heavens and the earth work together, and the heroes are not free, they are not promoting a mysterious idea, but they want to say that the changes in society and history are decided by thousands of people, and it is not a big hero who can hold the sky with one hand and change the day.
Because of various chances, the hero stands at the intersection of everyone's joint force, and naturally there is no disadvantage; what can people say except praise his invincibility?
The problem is, because of serendipity, the great hero who has built countless deeds suddenly stands on the opposite side of the intersection of everyone's joint efforts, and people can say anything but say that he later let the donkey kick his head?
All in all, when the bull X is invincible, with a very weak strength, it can also win the storm; later, when it fails, it has the most powerful resources of the times, but it is an inexplicable defeat.
Shaanzhou suddenly fell to Zhu Wen, somewhat unattainable. Because the sudden mutiny in Shaanzhou was not operated by Zhu Wen, or even within Zhu Wen's plan.
The point is that even if there is a mutiny in Shaanzhou, Shaanzhou has three choices for upper, middle and lower levels. For example, he can continue to remain independent, or he can choose to fall to Li Keyong or Li Maozhen, not necessarily to Zhu Wen's side.
In fact, a few years after Zhu Jian fell to Zhu Wen, he suddenly felt that it was not cost-effective to follow the Zhu Liang clique, and directly fell to the side of Li Cunxun. The Zhu Liang clique later became weaker and weaker, which was also an important reason, that is, Zhu Jian took the river and fell to Li Cunxun's side.
Of course, if we analyze it carefully, Zhu Jian began to fall to Zhu Wen's side, and later to Li Cunxun's side, and there must be enough reasons; even if it is inseparable from Zhu Wen's efforts, it is more or less unattainable. But in any case, the surrender of Li Hanzhi and Zhu Jian gave Zhu Wen more initiative in the northern hegemony war.
Zhu Wen's luck was not only this, before Zhu Jian surrendered to Zhu Wen, Liu Rengong of Youzhou entered its heyday; and there was a great deal of sweeping hebei.
What good would liu Rengong's sudden rise in Youzhou do to Zhu Wen? If Youzhou suddenly became so strong before Zhu Wen dominated the Central Plains, it was naturally not good news for Zhu Wen, on the contrary, it was really bad news.
Now that Zhu Wen dominates the Central Plains, he is worried that he will not find a breakthrough to expand northward, and Liu Rengong of Youzhou has suddenly risen, and naturally there is a breakthrough immediately.
Because in the face of Liu Rengong's sweep of Hebei in Youzhou, the major military groups in Hebei were all terrified, so they began to fall further towards Zhu Wen.
