Synopsis

Li Ji, named Maogong, defected to the Wagang Army when he was young and made plans to fight against the Sui Dynasty; later he defected to Li Shimin, strategizing for Li Shimin and sweeping away the smoke and dust in all directions. After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, he worked tirelessly and went on continuous expeditions to consolidate and expand the territory of the Tang Dynasty. Throughout his life, he went through the three dynasties of Tang Gaozu, Tang Taizong, and Tang Gaozong. He served as a general and became a prime minister, opened up territories, expanded territory, stabilized the country, and made outstanding achievements. He is calm, alert, and can predict things like a god, but he never takes credit for himself. He is self-disciplined, starts well and ends well, and is admired by the world. This book covers a wide historical span. It not only writes about the debauchery of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, but also writes about the "Xuanwumen Incident" in which brothers killed each other, and also about Wu Zetian's proclaimed emperor. It is like a historical picture, real, vivid and thought-provoking: the warmth and warmth of humanity revealed in it will make you feel, and the vicissitudes of life will surprise you; and after the scroll is hidden, it will make you sigh!

It seems to be more real than the Romance of the Tang Dynasty, so it is more exciting

Modern people do not know loyalty, filial piety, justice, and only care about interests, which will cause endless troubles for the country and their families!

This "The Romance of Xu Maogong" is like a historical picture scroll, vividly showing the military culture of ancient China. The "benevolence-based" view of war mentioned in the book reminds me of a friend of mine who always upholds the principle of benevolence and righteousness in his work, thus winning the respect and trust of his colleagues and customers. This book not only allows us to understand history, but also draws wisdom from it for use in life and work. As the book says: "Benevolence and righteousness are the core cohesion of the military's combat effectiveness." I think this is also an important principle for us to get along with others in life.

Life is like a dream, illusory and hazy. Life is like chess, step by step. If a white horse passes by, this life will not be wasted.

This book is not bad. The protagonist Xu Gong is one of the main planners who overthrew the Sui Dynasty. I like to give the author a thumbs up for this book.
