Zhang Xutuo, the first general of the Sui Dynasty, finally fell down. With helpless sighs towards the Sui Dynasty, sadness and understanding of the betrayal of the generals under his opponents, guilt and comfort for his soldiers, a trace of relief from his soul, and infinite emotions, Zhang Xutuo ended his hero's life like Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu.

Mo Wu arranged a tragic suicide ending for Zhang Xutuo, but this did not prevent Zhang Xutuo from his death in the suppression of the rebellion. In the country, Zhang Xutuo really has too many important significance. Mo Wu arranged several chapters in a row to lay the groundwork to describe Zhang Xutuo's ending. If you just end up with a defeat in the battle of the chaos, it would not be enough to show Zhang Xutuo's extraordinaryness.

Looking back at the book, Mo Wu's description of Zhang Xutuo has three main levels. At the beginning, he only heard of his name and acted. Rebels and bandits from all over the country respected him and dispersed; the court admired him and longed for a meeting; but Zhang Xutuo never showed up. At this time, the portrayal of Zhang Xutuo can be said to be the first to be the first to be the extraordinary. Zhang Xutuo's extraordinary appearance was when Zhang Xutuo was hunting Xiao Buyi. At that time, what was presented to us was a loyal and brave general. This time the description was mainly concentrated on Zhang Xutuo's personal, showing Zhang Xutuo's super strong

Personal combat ability. The battle against Wagang is the second direct description of Zhang Xutuo. This time, the main focus is Zhang Xutuo's general talents, strategizing, caring for soldiers, and prestige among soldiers. All kinds of descriptions and portraying Zhang Xutuo's military talents and personal charm. The three levels of descriptions and portray Zhang Xutuo from far to near, from point to surface, deeply portray Zhang Xutuo's image, ability and character. Especially the repeated emphasis on the appearance of sad face and smile before death, it portrays Zhang Xutuo's loyal personality with great depth.

The end of a hero is ending in a heroic way, which is the most shocking and direct way. Zhang Xutuo rescued and sent off his soldiers, and relied on his loyalty and courage and blood to his opponents of the Great Sui Dynasty. Zhang Xutuo spent his whole life working for the Great Sui Dynasty. No matter what the Great Sui Dynasty became, he would never leave him! It is no exaggeration to say that Zhang Xutuo was the most loyal minister and bravest general of the Great Sui Dynasty! However, it was this loyalty and courage that made Zhang Xutuo feel the same sorrow as Xiang Yu, and he was invincible, but the bandits formed an alliance and the situation could not be reversed. Zhang Xutuo felt that he was powerless and could not face the decline of the Great Sui Dynasty. He could only die to solve his inner pain and helplessness and fulfill his last trace of loyalty for the Great Sui Dynasty.

Zhang Xutuo's death really has too much meaning, and it can be said that it is to be a whole body to control the world. For the Sui Dynasty, the world had lost its pillars and Yang Guang had no support. For the ministers, he also felt that Yang Guang was no longer reliable and was no longer worthy of being maintained and held tightly. In the next days, what Yang Guang had to face was that the emperor's halo gradually stripped away from his body, and the people around him were no longer respectful or obedient, gradually stayed away from him, betrayed him, betrayed everyone, and betrayed his relatives, until he became a real lonely person, and was killed as an obstacle to the rebels, or in this process, the only person who could never leave him was the only one who could stay by his side.

For the military power and ambitious military and political parties of all parties such as Liu Wuzhou, Li Yuan, Wang Shichong, etc., Zhang Xutuo's fall sent a signal for them. The Sui Dynasty had no support and Yang Guang was powerless. The opportunity for independence had already appeared. When Zhang Xutuo died, it was not necessary that the anti-banks in various places would be raised, but there was no doubt that the ambitious military and political forces of all parties of the Sui Dynasty would take advantage of the situation to recruit soldiers and vigorously develop their strength. The taboo and fear gradually fade, and they became more blatant.

For all the peasant forces among the people, the curse that has been entangled in their hearts has been removed, and they can plunder the world more with greater confidence without worrying about Zhang Xutuo's destruction. The rebel forces in various places will develop more vigorously and rapidly. The greatest significance of this is to Wagang, for Li Mi. Zhang Xutuo died in the battle to attack Wagang. In other words, the Wagang army defeated Zhang Xutuo and even killed Zhang Xutuo. Although the details are different, it is obvious that Zhang Xutuo died. After this battle, Wagang was famous in the eyes of bandits in the world, and in the eyes of the people, and the prestige is unparalleled. The forces from all directions must have been many. Therefore, Wagang naturally became the world's number one peasant army.

Li Mi was the direct planner and commander-in-chief of this war. Not only did he use tricks to mess up the elite soldiers of Zhang Xutuo, but he also risked his life to give Zhang Xutuo a heavy blow. After this battle, Li Mi's status in the heart of the Wagang army was already transcendent, his prestige and fame were bound to be greatly improved. Even among the righteous armies of all parties in the world, his reputation would inevitably be greatly improved. In addition, the status of "Pushan Gong" as a famous family, everyone should follow it. In contrast, although Zhai Rang was the old leader of the village, his reputation was far inferior to Li Mi, and a power struggle was about to emerge. Of course, for Xiao Buyi, the protagonist of this book, it was naturally a good opportunity. There was a calm environment to develop production and reserve power temporarily.

Zhang Xutuo died, but his three generals Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin and Luo Shixin betrayed him long before he died. It is often said that being betrayed by his subordinates is a very sad and angry thing, and being a traitor is naturally a person who is hated and scolded. However, here, everyone seems reasonable and cannot be considered who is wrong or who is right. It can only be said that the choice is different. Zhang Xutuo was a Great Sui Dynasty throughout his life, loyal and fought countless times only to stabilize the Sui Dynasty. He admired the world. In Yang Guang's heart, he was naturally a great loyal minister, and his favor and reputation were unparalleled. Qin, Cheng, and Luo San Generals followed Zhang Xutuo to fight everywhere, but wanted to make contributions on the battlefield and make a name for himself. This is the fundamental difference between Zhang Xutuo and his three generals' life goals, and the final outcome was also the final intensification of this contradiction.

Although the Great Sui Dynasty opened a vocational school to win scholars, the system of new life was not mature and the chances were not high. Joining the military battlefield was a shortcut for the lower class to establish fame. This path has existed since ancient times, and it was still the same until the Tang Dynasty, such as the frontier poetry school. We cannot bear to say that Zhang Xutuo was stupid and loyal, but at least he was loyal to the Great Sui Dynasty, while the three generals did not have such a lofty ideal of life. They followed Zhang Xutuo to fight in the east and west, but they just wanted to make a name for themselves. However, with the decline of the situation in the Great Sui Dynasty, more and more bandits, and the world became more and more chaotic. Relying on working hard for Yang Guang to make a name for himself, and achieving success and fame, the purpose of life gradually changed.

The idea of ​​achieving fame by following Zhang Xutuo to fight is becoming more and more doubtful. Until Xiao Buyi made great achievements but was ordered to be captured and killed by Yang Guang, this incident had a great impact on the three generals. No matter how hard he fought, he would not be able to achieve such outstanding military achievements as Xiao Buyi. However, his great achievements were as great as Xiao Buyi, but he could not help but lose his mind, let alone other things? Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin were already hesitating to reflect. Luo Shixin dared not think too much about Zhang Xutuo's life-saving grace, but after all, the heart that made contributions for the Great Sui Dynasty could not help but cool down. The reason why he followed Zhang Xutuo was just to know the grace of meeting him.

At this time, Li Mi secretly joined forces in anti-Sui uprising forces in various places, using various means to activate and profit, threatening and tempting each other's weaknesses. Using human weaknesses is Li Mi's strengths. Qin Qiong is a filial son, and Li Mi threatens Qin Qiong to rebel with his mother, Qin Qiong can only agree. Qin Qiong has long lost his fantasy about the Sui Dynasty, and naturally he is not very interested in following Zhang Xutuo to fight. However, his mother fell into the hands of bandits, and life and death are in his own thoughts. The more important thing is to obey military actions or save his mother's life, it can be judged in the heart of a filial son, so Qin Qiong chose his mother. The third general Cheng Yaojin might have failed to recruit soldiers at Hulao Pass, and Luo Shixin is likely to betrayed by love.

Even if Zhang Xutuo is not dead, it will be a matter of time before the three generals and Zhang Xutuo part ways. They are different and do not plan for each other. One is loyal and the other is fame. In the troubled times, sooner or later, each will be their own masters, and even if they meet each other, it is inevitable. Rather than saying that the three generals betray Zhang Xutuo, it is better to say that it is the inevitable result of the intensification of the contradiction between life and values ​​between the two sides. Therefore, although Zhang Xutuo felt helpless and sad about Qin Qiong's betrayal, he also expressed his understanding; although Qin Qiong felt guilty about betraying Zhang Xutuo, if he was asked to choose again, he would still choose this way. This conflict of outlook on life, values, and personality is the same as fate, and it is unsolvable even if he knows it.
