In history, Xue Rengui conquered Goguryeo with less and won more, deducing a legend. Vertex updates are the fastest

In the feudal society of the jungle, war became the most effective means for the hegemons of all walks of life to compete for territory and expand their power.

Whether it is a war of annexation between countries on the land of China, or a war of aggression against hostile forces of other countries, or a war of expedition to expand territory, war is changing the trend of history in its unique way, and each war has written a strong stroke in the chapter of history.

After Xue Rengui joined the army, he rose to prominence for the first time and beautifully completed the miracle of taking the rank of general in a million army.

In November of the 18th year of Jeongguan (644), Li Shimin ordered Zhang Liang, the chief of the Pyongyang Provincial March, and Li Ji, the chief of the Liaodong Provincial March, to lead the water and land armies to attack Goguryeo.

In February of the following year, Li Shimin personally conquered Goguryeo. In March, on the battlefield of Andi in Liaodong, Lang general Liu Junqiong was besieged by the Goguryeo army and could not escape.

At this critical moment, Xue Rengui stepped forward and single-handedly rushed the 150,000-strong army of Goguryeo, single-handedly causing it to be chaotic, and even all the battle-hardened Li Shimin, Li Daozong, and Li Shiji present were stunned, which can be called a great spectacle of war.

Xue Rengui single-handedly took the head of a general of Goguryeo and hung his head on his horse. The Goguryeo army was frightened, so they withdrew, and Liu Junqiong was also rescued. After this battle, Xue Rengui became famous in the army.

In April of the same year, the Tang army advanced to Goguryeo, constantly defeating the Goguryeo defenders, and in June, the Tang army reached Anshi City (now Yingchengzi, southeast of Haicheng, Liaoning), and Goguryeo Moli Zhiyuan Gaisu Wen sent the generals Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen to lead an army of 250,000 to garrison in the mountains to resist the Tang army.

After inspecting the terrain, Li Shimin ordered the generals to lead their troops to attack separately. In this battle, Xue Rengui was dressed in white, holding a halberd and a gun, carrying a double bow at his waist, shouting and charging into battle, invincible, and the Goguryeo army was invincible.

The Tang army followed up in a big way, and the Goguryeo army was defeated and beheaded more than 20,000 ranks. After the Battle of Anseong, Goguryeo was shocked, and the soldiers and civilians in Huangcheng, Yincheng and other places abandoned the city and fled, and it was cut off from people for hundreds of miles.

After the war, Li Shimin specially summoned Xue Rengui, who was just an ordinary soldier at the time. Li Shimin gave him two horses, forty silk horses, and ten captives as slaves, and promoted him to guerrilla general and Yunquan Mansion Guoyi.

On the way back to the division, Li Shimin said to Xue Rengui: "The old generals are all old and cannot bear the heavy work of field command. Every time I want to promote brave and strong generals, there is no one like you. I'm not happy to get Liaodong, I'm glad to get you. “

and promoted Xue Rengui to the right leading army lieutenant general, guarding the Xuanwu Gate.

On the third night of the fifth month of the leap month in the fifth year of Yonghui (654), heavy rain fell from the sky, flash floods broke out, and the flood rushed to Xuanwu Gate, and the guards and soldiers all fled.

Xue Rengui said angrily: "Where is there an emergency situation for the Son of Heaven, and the people of the guards are immediately afraid of death and run away?"

Then risked his life to climb the door frame and shout to the palace to warn the inner palace, so Tang Gaozong Li Zhi was able to avoid the disaster.

Soon, the flood flooded Li Zhi's bedroom, and Li Zhi said gratefully: "Fortunately, it was you who avoided being submerged, and I knew that there were loyal ministers." So he gave Xue Rengui a royal horse.

In the leap month of the second year of Xianqing (657), Su Dingfang, the general of the Right Tunwei, marched into the Western Turks to conquer the rebellious Ashina Helu.

Xue Rengui said: "The minister heard that the division is unknown, so the war will not succeed. Make it clear that the enemy in the world is a thief, then it is possible to subdue the enemy.

Now Ni Shu relied on the talents he had always possessed, and did not want to be subservient to Helu, but he was broken by the thieves, and his wife, sons, and daughters were captured.

Among the Han soldiers, there are family members of Nishu and others who have been defeated in the Helu tribes, and they will be confiscated into lowly status, and the way to dispose of them is to take them back and return them to Nishu and others, and they will still be rewarded the same.

Then he sympathized with and took pity on the incident of Nishu and others being attacked in vain, and let the people understand clearly that Helu and other tribes were like thieves, and knew that His Majesty's grace was widely spread. “

Li Zhi listened to his advice and sent people to search for the Helu tribe and sent them back, so the people from the Nishu tribe asked to follow the Tang army to serve.

In the third year of Xianqing (658), Li Zhi ordered Cheng Mingzhen to conquer Goguryeo, with Xue Rengui as his deputy general. Xue Rengui defeated the Goguryeo army at Guiduancheng (located in the area of the Hunhe River in present-day Liaoning) and beheaded more than 3,000 ranks.

In the war that attacked the local forces in the northeast, Xue Rengui staged the legend of the Battle of Hengshan again.

In the fourth year of Xianqing (659), Xue Rengui and Liang Jianfang, Qibi He Li, etc., fought with the Goguryeo general Wenshamen in Hengshan. At that time, Xue Rengui held a bow and arrow, took the lead, rushed into the enemy formation, and all those who shot fell to the ground.

Then, he fought with the Goryeo army in Shicheng, met the enemy general, and killed more than ten Tang soldiers, but no one dared to do it.

Xue Rengui was furious when he saw this, and rode in alone and captured him alive. In December, Xue Rengui and Xin Wenling defeated the Khitan in Montenegro, captured the Khitan king Abgu and the following soldiers, after the war, he worshiped General Zuo Wuwei for his merits, and sealed the male of Hedong County.

In the battle of the nine surnames of Tiele in the northwest, Xue Rengui staged his legend to **.

In the first year of Longshuo (661), the Hui leader Po Yan, who had always been friendly with Tang, died, and Bisu, who succeeded him, turned to become an enemy of Tang.

Li Zhizhao's right general Zheng Rentai was the main general, and Xue Rengui was the deputy general, leading the troops to the Tianshan Mountains to attack the nine surnamed Tiele.

Before leaving, Li Zhite gave a banquet in the inner hall, and said to Xue Rengui during the banquet: "In ancient times, there were people who were good at archery, who could penetrate seven layers of armor, and you can shoot five layers to see." “

Xue Rengui responded to the order, put the armor and took the bow and arrow to shoot, only to hear the bowstring sound, and the arrow had passed through the five armors. Li Zhi was taken aback, and immediately ordered someone to take the armor and reward Xue Rengui.

After Zheng Rentai and Xue Rengui led their troops to the Tianshan Mountains, the nine surnamed Tiele supported more than 100,000 people to refuse, and ordered dozens of brave knights to come to challenge.

Xue Rengui fired three arrows and killed three people, and the rest of the knights were afraid of Xue Rengui's divine power and dismounted to surrender. Xue Rengui took advantage of the situation to wave his army to cover up the killing, defeated the nine surnamed Tiele, and killed the pawns.

Then, Xue Rengui crossed the north to pursue the defeated army of Tiele and captured the three brothers of Ye Hu (leader). After Xue Rengui collected his troops, the army sang: "The general has three arrows to set the Tianshan Mountain, and the strong man sings a long song into the Han Pass." Since then, the nine surnamed Tiele have decayed and are no longer a border trouble.

The Three Arrows made more than 100,000 people in Tiele collectively bow down and surrender on the battlefield, which is the only one in the history of ancient Chinese warfare and a glorious chapter in ancient China's foreign wars.

During the conquest of Goguryeo, Xue Rengui used 2,000 men from his headquarters to sweep away the battle with a total of 250,000 enemy troops.

Xue Rengui successively fought the Battle of Xincheng, the Battle of Jinshan, and the surprise attack on Fuyeochuan, and won a decisive victory in the Battle of Goguryeo, which played a pioneering role in the development and governance of Northeast China in ancient China.

Xue Rengui maintained a strong deterrent to foreign clans from the general of the left army to the governor of Yanmen before his death.

When Xue Rengui was 69 years old, he attacked Yuanzhen at Yanmen Pass. In the face of 130,000 enemy troops, Xue Rengui took off his hat to show the enemy, and when the enemy saw it, he retreated.

This completely shows the demeanor of the famous generals of the Tang Dynasty.

Xue Rengui is an almost forgotten famous general of ancient warfare, he is the military soul of the Tang Dynasty, and he is also a model of China's ancient border guards.

“… He is an icon, a monument, a beacon, and a banner in my heart, which I admire, lead me forward, and urge me to forge ahead. With the highest salutes!"
