info Tang Taizong commented on Li Daozong in his later years as a famous general on the same level as Li Shiqian and Xue Wanche, and in his later years he was framed by the eldest grandson Wuji and Chu Suiliang, exiled to Xiangzhou, and died of illness on the way.

When Li Yuan was proclaimed emperor in Chang'an, Li Daozong's father Li Shao was posthumously crowned the king of Dongping and presented the book of the household department.

Li Daozong was named the Duke of Luoyang County.

Later, Li Daozong followed Li Shimin to fight Liu Wuzhou in the Battle of Baibi and won the victory in the Battle of Baibi, and later led his troops to follow Li Shimin in the battle of Luoyang and Hujiao (now west of Rongyang Bishui Town, Henan) successively defeated the two major forces of Emperor Zheng Shichong and Xia King Dou Jiande.

Li Daozong made many achievements in this battle.

Later, Dou Jiande's old subordinate Liu Heimin once again relied on the Turkic forces to re-raise troops against the Tang Dynasty, and Liu Heimin proclaimed himself the king of Handong.

Li Daozong once again went on the expedition with Li Shimin.

The two sides held each other for more than 60 days, Liu Heimin secretly led the army to attack Li Shiji's army, Li Daozong followed Li Shimin to attack Liu Heimin's army flank to rescue Li Tao, but was surrounded by Liu Heimin, this matter Wei Chi Jingde led the warriors to rush into the encirclement, Li Daozong and Li Shimin took advantage of the situation to escape.

Because of his military exploits, he was awarded the title of King of Jiangxia County.

Li Yuan was named the governor of Lingzhou (Zhihuile, now Wuzhong City, Ningxia), pacified the Shuofang separatist forces Liang Shidu and defeated the Turkic army in collusion with Liang Shidu, was a famous general of the Tang Dynasty during the Wude period, Zhenguan period, Li Shimin ascended the throne, after the unification of the country, Li Shimin decided to solve the Turkic problem, Li Daozong was controlled by Li Jing from Lingzhou to crusade against the Turks, defeated the Turkic cavalry in Lingzhou, and strongly supported Li Jing's frontal battlefield, and then, Li Jing led the troops to break the Li Khan Department, Jieli Khan fled to the Shaboluo Department in the northwest of Lingzhou, and wanted to defect to Tuyuhun, Li Daozong entered the Shaboluo Department, and forced the leader of the Shaboluo Department, Suni, to lose and surrender Jieli Khan.

Captured the Khan of Lili and sent to Chang'an, Suni lost his troops and surrendered, and there was no major war on the northern border for decades.

Li Daozong sealed 600 households because of his merits, and summoned the secretary of the criminal department.

Later, the Lingzhou Huxue Department rebelled, and Li Daozong led his troops to pursue and break it.

Later, he conquered Tuyuhun, chased down the leader of Tuyuhun, Fuyun Khan, broke his crowd, and captured his famous king Xiaojun.

Because of his merits, he was transferred to the Ministry of Rites and was crowned the king of Jiangxia County, and his colleagues also added Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County, who was imprisoned for corruption during his tenure.

Tang Taizong said to his courtiers because of this matter: "I have the wealth of the four seas, and the horses are like forests, if I make the traces of ruts all over the world, I will not stop watching them, and I will take the wonders of the unique region and the delicacies of overseas, can't I get them?" It is only for the pleasure of the people who are tired, so they do not do it. The human heart does not know contentment, but it should be tempered with righteousness. Now that the Taoist Sect has been crowned a king, he has a lot of gifts and is greedy for more than once, isn't it contemptible! ”

So he dismissed Li Daozong's official position, cut his fiefdom, and returned home as the king of the county.

Reading this, the editor thought that this should be Li Daozong's conscious doing, afraid that he would overshadow his own merits, and deliberately let Li Shimin depose his official position for crimes and protect his family's wealth.

Subsequently, Xue Yantuo Domi Khan rebelled again and sent troops to invade Xiazhou.

Lee Dojong was activated again to defend the side.

Xue Yantuo's army entered the fortress, and when he saw that the Tang army was on guard, he did not dare to attack rashly.

During this period, after Hou Junji defeated Gaochang and returned, he was quite resentful and dissatisfied.

Daozong once calmly said: "Junji wisdom is small and big, and it will be the culprit." ”

Tang Taizong asked why he said that he would rebel, and Li Daozong replied: "Seeing his jealousy and concealing his merits, he is ashamed of his position under Fang Xuanling and Li Jing, and the official is a scholar, and he often has a depressed and unfair atmosphere." ”

Tang Taizong said: "Junji is indeed meritorious and talented, how can I be stingy with the title?" It's just not his turn yet. You shouldn't speculate and put people at risk. ”

Soon after the Junji conspiracy happened, Tang Taizong smiled and said, "As you speculated. ”

Later, Li Shimin launched a war against Goguryeo for the shame of Yang Guangsan's expedition to Goguryeo, and Li Daozong followed Li Shimin and made new contributions in Liaodong.

In the twentieth year of Zhenguan (646), Li Daozong was appointed as the pacification ambassador of Hanhai Dao, and together with several other Tang armies, he crusaded against Xue Yantuo.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Xue Yantuo's Domi Khan fled to the Ashide Shijian tribe, but was besieged by the Hui soldiers, and Domi Khan was killed.

The people supported the establishment of the Dumo branch as the Khan of Itbelose, and the Khan of Itbelose sent a letter to the Tang Dynasty to ask for peace, asking to stay at the northern foot of Yudujun Mountain (now the eastern branch of Hangai Mountain in Mongolia), and Tang Taizong agreed, and sent Li Tao and Cui Dunli to pacify.

Li Tao found out that the Khan of Itbelose was not sincerely attached, but secretly plotted against him, so together with Li Daozong, he attacked Xue Yantuo in the north of the Yu Governor's army, beheaded more than 5,000 ranks, and captured more than 30,000 men and women of Xue Yantuo.

Li Daozong crossed the desert, pursued Xue Yantuo, fought fiercely with tens of thousands of people, beheaded more than 1,000 levels, chased out 200 miles, and won a complete victory in the battle to destroy Xue Yantuo, and Dumo Zhi was taken back to the capital to be taken prisoner.

What's more worth mentioning is that when Tubo Songtsen Gampo sent Lu Dongzan to Chang'an to ask for marriage, it was Li Daozong who sacrificed his daughter Jincheng Junjun Li, who was named Princess Wencheng by Li Shimin, sacrificing the happiness of his daughter, is such a Tang Dynasty hero who dedicated himself to the Li Tang Dynasty and dedicated his daughter to national security did not enter the Lingyan Pavilion, after reading the history, he came to an astonishing conclusion - that is, Li Daozong is Li Jiancheng's ironcore, just because compared to Li Jin, Li Daozong's ability is stronger, is more cautious, knows how to advance and retreat, and has a thicker family background, so he was not purged by Li Shimin and paid tribute to national heroes like Li Daozong.
