i don't think what happened with ulquiorra and ichigo was really planned...
if he planned it then why "somehow managed to achieve"
... he didn't plan any of it, it seems pretty much a classic "make it up as you go along" story...
aizen couldn't manipulate that the menos grande early on wouldn't kill him... he couldn't have made it so he awoke powers with renji and be part way towards bankai with kenpachi... he could have been killed... and aizen hasn't manipulated them to let him win those fights otherwise this stuff probably wouldn't have happened.
aizen most likely never knew about ichigo till late on... the only thing he could have done is manipulated the high rate of hollow appearances... but why?
imo this is the real story.
ichigo's high spirit pressure - son of isshin... a captain level shinigami
ichigo's hollow - took rukia's power and along with it possibly a small amount of the hogyoku's power while rukia was a vessel. also his experience with urahara almost turned him into a hollow.
ichigo was meant to lose to ulquiorra as he would have died if he didnt go full hollow. aizen said himself he somehow managed to get more power... he wasn't meant to.
ichigo could have been killed numerous times, if aizen bet on him living then why? he has the hogyoku, he's pretty much killed everyone... ichigo wasn't needed after the disturbance both aizen and the "ryoka" caused within soul society to give aizen more chance to claim the hogyoku.
