Chapter 344: Glory to the Tang Dynasty
At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, because it had just been established, it was soon reunited to reunify the country... At this point... The Turkic rulers saw that it was impossible to extort money from the separatists as before, so they took advantage of the fact that the Tang Dynasty was not very strong at this time, and invaded the interior for many years, plundering the population and wealth. The Eastern Turkic Jieli Khan personally led an army of 150,000 to attack and annex the state, capturing more than 5,000 men and women; He also led more than 100,000 cavalry to plunder Shuozhou and attack Taiyuan.
During this period, a total of 67 Turkic attacks on the Central Plains were recorded.
During this period, too many soldiers in the Tang Dynasty died in battle and turned into the heroic soul of the Tang Dynasty.
After Li Zhan saw the four words of the Tang Dynasty's heroic soul, his expression was shocked, and he heard the old man shouting loudly at this time: "My son Wu Shihao... A native of Longxi, he was a lieutenant colonel of the 12th Army of the Tang Dynasty and the Left Guard Army.
In the ninth year of Wude, the Turks attacked Shuozhou, my son Wu Shihao beheaded ten levels, and fought to the death without retreating, the Turks were 100,000, and the Left Guard Army was annihilated.
My son also died in Shuozhou, and Emperor Gaozu gave a plaque to the soul of the Tang Dynasty... My son is the soul of the Tang Dynasty...! After saying that, the old man burst into tears.
At this time, Li Zhan also remembered the 12th Army of the Tang Dynasty, which was established by Li Yuan in the eighth year of Wude (625), the purpose of which was to prepare for a large-scale counterattack against the Turks, sending Li Yitun, the king of Yanjun, to Huating, the governor of Anzhou, and Li Jing, the governor of Anzhou, to go out of Luzhou Road, and the head of the march, Ren Huantun to Taihang Mountain, and Li Shimin, the king of Qin, to garrison Puzhou (now Yongji County, Shanxi) to guard against the Turks.
The Left Guard Army was the army led by Zhang Jin, a general in the early Tang Dynasty, in August of the same year, Jieli Khan led 100,000 troops to plunder Shuozhou, Zhang Jin led the army and Jieli Khan to fight in Taigu, the whole army was annihilated, and he escaped to Li Jing.
In the first battle of Taigu, Zhang Jin fought 100,000 against 100,000, and 10,000 Tang troops fought to the death in Taigu, in order to protect Shuozhou behind him... None of the 10,000 Tang troops retreated, and the whole army died in battle.
Just after the old man finished shouting, suddenly, Li Zhan knelt down on one knee and held the plaque of the Tang Dynasty Heroic Soul and shouted: "Datang Li Zhan invites the Tang Dynasty Heroic Soul Wu Shihao to take a day trip to Chang'an, and invites the Tang Dynasty Heroic Soul Wu Shihao to see all the Chang'an flowers in one day." ”
After speaking, Li Zhan got up and looked at Wu Shihao's father and said: "Daddy Wu, your son Wu Shihao is a hero, I Li Zhan bought this plaque for a thousand years, and when I ask Brother Wu to see the scenery of Chang'an, I will hang him on my Qingfeng Tower, so that he can always see the daily prosperity of the Tang Dynasty that he protects." ”
"Li Gongzi... Little Lao'er kowtows to you, my son Wu Shihao, die for the Tang Dynasty, die for the people of the Tang Dynasty, the glory of death, the glory of death, the place of death...! ”
Hurriedly helped up Father Wu, who kowtowed to him, Li Zhan felt a pride in his heart, and only heard him recite loudly: "Qinghai Changyun Dark Snow Mountain, the lonely city looks at Yumen Pass. The yellow sand wears gold armor in a hundred battles, and Loulan will not be returned if it is not broken.
The soul of the Tang Dynasty is forever...! ”
Li Zhan finished shouting... Among the people, there were also people who shouted together: "The soul of the Tang Dynasty is forever...!" ”
Why did the people at this time suddenly shout together, mainly because Li Zhan's poem is very amazing, this is a poem by Wang Changling, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, called "From the Army".
This Tang poem, just 28 words, has brought people a majestic spirit of the Tang Dynasty. This kind of momentum of being sharp and good at fighting and treating the opponent like a mustard is rare in the Tang Dynasty's Biansai poems. The power of the Tang Dynasty is incomparable to other dynasties. Outside the Yumen Pass, there were two strong enemies of the Tang Dynasty, one was the Tibetans and the other was the Turks. In the early days of the Tang Dynasty, there was also a helpless move of the "Weishui Alliance". But this time the compromise made Li Shimin feel like a fish in his throat, and he was uncomfortable. Ten years later, he ordered the god of war Li Jing to conquer the Turks, and in less than three months, he almost wiped out the Turks.
This poem combs the arrogance of the Tang Dynasty to the fullest and is very inspiring, so when Li Zhan finishes reading, the people around him will feel it.
In this way, Li Zhan brought his carriage over, brought Father Wu and the plaque, and traveled around the one hundred and eight squares of Chang'an together, and this scene was quickly noticed by the generals and ministers of Chang'an.
Especially the generals who fought with Li Shimin.
They were in Puzhou at the time... But he couldn't move, he could only watch the left guard army of the Tang Dynasty annihilated, and it was false to say that it was not heartbroken, but the military order was like a mountain, even if it was heartache, he could not disobey the military order.
And today, they can finally take a look at their comrades that day.
Just when Li Zhan passed by Guiyifang with the plaque of Father Wu and Wu Shihao's Tang Dynasty Heroic Soul, suddenly Cheng Chumo appeared in front of the carriage, today's Cheng Chumo was dressed in black armor, which was different from the happy appearance of seeing Li Zhan before, today's Cheng Chumo had a solemn face, and after seeing Li Zhan's carriage, he hugged his fist and shouted: "The left leading general Cheng bites the gold, and asks to send the Tang Dynasty Heroic Soul a ride." ”
"But...!" Li Zhan roared.
In this way, Cheng Chumo led people to follow him for about thirty, and after another while, Qin Huaiyu appeared: "Qin Qiong, the general of Zuo Wuwei, ask to send the soul of the Tang Dynasty for a ride." ”
Li Zhan shouted again: "But...!" ”
Follow Li Daozong's son, Xue Wanche's son, Hou Junji's son Hou Guangliang, Li Jing's son, Niu Jinda's son, Liu Hongji's son, Duan Zhixuan's son....!
Almost all the sons of military generals who can be called by the Tang Dynasty are here.
What is it... This is the glory of the Tang Dynasty soldiers, and in the end, even after Li Shimin heard the news, he sent the crown prince Li Chengqian.
When Li Chengqian stood in front of Li Zhan's carriage, one bowed down and shouted: "Li Chengqian, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, please send the soul of the Tang Dynasty a ride...!" ”
Li Zhan hadn't said it yet, Daddy Wu was already crying uncontrollably, and then he heard Daddy Wu shout loudly: "In this life, my son can be loyal to the country, which is the eternal glory of my Wu family."
My Wu family swears that I will defend the Tang Dynasty for generations, and if there is a dissent, the sky will thunder. ”
After this promise was finished, Daddy Wu cried loudly, and the cry was very miserable, just like that, today's Chang'an remembered a Tang heroic soul who once fought to the death in Shuozhou, his name is Wu Shihao.
Today, the glory of the Wu family will go down in history, so much so that many people in the Tang Dynasty say to their sons: "Boy... Remember to be my soldier of the Tang Dynasty in the future, so that you can glorify the lintel. ”
Also on this day, there was an extra plaque of the Tang Dynasty's heroic soul on the door of Li Zhan's Qingfeng Building.
So much so that after this plaque is hung, all the people who pass in front of Qingfeng Building will get off the horse and get off the sedan chair, which is the heartfelt respect of the people of Datang for the soul of Datang Ying.
.......................
"Sensationalism...!"
In a painting boat, a man listened to the matter of Li Zhan's escort of the Tang Dynasty Heroic Soul plaque today, and spit slightly, and then heard the man ask: "Have you figured out the bottom of the Xuanwu Gate guard?" ”
A man with a snare drum stood up and said: "Back to the Lord... The basic investigation has made it clear, and we will close the net after a while. ”
"Good...!" The man nodded slightly, "Remember... Everything is based on stability, don't act rashly, I've been waiting for a long time, and I don't care about continuing to wait.
The final victory must be ours, because I will definitely not repeat the mistakes of the past. ”
