Chapter 108: Li Tao
In the next few days, Ye Wen visited Chai Shao, Zhang Liang, Hou Junji and others one after another, and today he is going to visit Li Tao ("å£" pronounced "achievement"). Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Li Tao's original name is Xu Shiqiang, and the word Mao Gong. Tang Gaozu Li Yuan gave his surname Li, and later avoided Tang Taizong Li Shimin and changed his name to Li Tao, a native of Lihu (now southeast of Heze DM County, SD).
Speaking of Li Taolai, he ranks second to last among the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, second only to Qin Qiong, but Lingyan Pavilion's ranking is not very rigorous. Every time at the time of the founding of the country, the emperor always put the civil servants in the front row of the credit, and the generals were behind, and the generals also made some contradictions, and then the emperor said those high-sounding words again, and the head was less tendoned to think that it seemed to be the case; The head is well developed, and you can understand this twists and turns, of course you can't go up and argue with the emperor, if you behave too smartly, your life will be gone!
The credit of Yi Tao was the destruction of DTZ Goguryeo, and Li Tao's conquest and destruction of Goguryeo occurred during the Gojong period, so it was not counted at that time, and Li Tao also touched the nail when he followed Li Er to attack Goguryeo.
In fact, Goguryeo is a piece of chicken ribs, compared to China, it has a small territory and a small population, but it has repeatedly made the Sui Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty suffer defeats. Emperor Yang of Sui's million-strong army failed to conquer Liao, the Sui Dynasty was finished, and Li Erlin was dying of old age, but he hit a nail at the gate of Goguryeo.
Goguryeo is small but difficult to fight because of its geographical advantage, which determines that Goguryeo is easy to maintain its independent status, but it is not easy to expand externally.
Goguryeo is chicken ribs, and it is a bowl of chicken ribs ecstasy soup. When Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty repeatedly went on expeditions to Goguryeo, his idea was very simple, "With the strength of the Sui Dynasty, will it be impossible to conquer a small Goguryeo?" ā
Under the psychological effect of this arrogance, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was defeated again and again, and was defeated again and again until he lost the great country.
The defeat of Emperor Yang of Sui made the charm of Goguryeo Ecstasy Soup even greater, Li Er belittled Emperor Yang of Sui on the surface, but in his heart he always wanted to compete with Yang Guang, a genius, if Emperor Yang of Sui died and could not destroy Goguryeo, if he was destroyed by himself, wouldn't it be more able to prove his ability? What's more, "With the strength of the Tang Dynasty, will it be impossible to conquer a small Goguryeo?" ā
Under the psychological effect of this "arrogant self-esteem + comparison", Li Er in his later years finally fell on his heels.
Li Er's failure made Li Zhi put all his thoughts on Goguryeo Ecstasy Soup, if he could do what his father couldn't do, at least he could prove that he had the strength not to lose to his father, right? What's more, "With the current strength of the Tang Dynasty, will it not be able to conquer a small Goryeo?" ā
So Li Zhi also focused on this Goguryeo's ecstasy soup, and in the end, Li Zhi also fought for anger and destroyed Goguryeo, which was a shame. However, Li Zhi also gave Tubo a chance to take advantage of Goguryeo's ecstasy soup. Of course, that's another story.
However, when it comes to Goguryeo, we have to say that some shameless stick states in later generations once proudly claimed to be the descendants of Goguryeo, and for this reason they also wanted to seek some territories in the northeast.
Ye Wen, who used to be an angry youth, naturally couldn't stand the unreasonable troubles of the stick country, but now that he has a golden finger, sooner or later he will make the stick country that will only rely on the strong country feel good, Ye Wen made up his mind to pay some attention.
Although Li Tao's official position is not high, he has a high reputation among the folk and romance, of course, he can't be compared with Qin Qiong and Wei Chi Gong, after all, they are famous door gods.
However, romance is romance after all, and it can't be done as an official history, compared to later generations when some people regard "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" as an official history, it will make people laugh.
Although Li Tao's status is not very high, he is more than enough than the top, and he is much stronger than Chai Shao, Zhang Liang, Hou Junji and others that Ye Wen visited a few days ago.
Chai Shao's official or civil status is not very high, among the twenty-four meritorious heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, only fourteenth, but his wife has a high official or civil status.
Chai Shao's wife is Princess Pingyang Zhao, the daughter of Tang Gaozu Li Yuan, her name and date of birth are not recorded in the "Old Tang Book" and "New Tang Book" that record her deeds.
Speaking of Li Xiuning, she is a real heroine, and the first princess in ancient China to lead thousands of armies and horses to establish an imperial industry for her father, and her talent and courage are not inferior to her brothers. The famous pass of the Great Wall of China, Niangzi Pass, was named after the Niangzi Pass led by her who were once stationed here. She is the first princess in the Tang Dynasty to have a nickname after her death, and she is the only woman in Chinese feudal history who was mourned by the army.
When Li Yuan rebelled, Li Xiuning and her husband Chai Shao were both in Chang'an, and after receiving a letter from his father, Chai Shao naturally supported his father-in-law's decision, but he was not worried about his wife. If you take your wife with you, you can easily be discovered by officers and soldiers; If you leave your wife alone in Chang'an, you are afraid that she will be in danger; At this point, Ye Wen saw a historical novel before the crossing, which made a fuss here, saying that Chai Shao abandoned her, and she worked hard and pulled up the army, and then the protagonist saved her life, and then it has been ambiguous, I have to say that the brain hole is very big.
But it was the smart Li Xiuning in history who dispelled Chai Shao's concerns, and she asked Chai Shao to pick up his father as soon as possible, as for herself, "Jun Yi should go quickly." I'm a woman, it's easy to hide temporarily, don't do it yourself. After Chai Shao left, Li Xiuning went to the countryside with his family wealth, befriended some outlaws hiding in the mountains, and took this group of people to raise troops, and heard that there was a gang of thieves nearby, so he sent his own groom to talk to the leader of the other party, and asked them to assist him in attacking Exian, after Exian was captured, the nearby rebels came to join her. Li Xiuning captured several cities one after another, and his men and horses had reached more than 10,000 people. When Li Yuan besieged Chang'an, Li Xiuning went to help, and her subordinates had reached 70,000 at that time, and it was estimated that Li Yuan did not have as many people as she did at that time.
It's a pity that she died young, and she is a woman, maybe, Lingyan Pavilion also has a place for her.
However, Chai Shao's eighth grandson, Chai Rong, became the emperor of Zhou Shizong after the Five Dynasties period, and he was also a family of emperors.
As for Zhang Liang, he ranked sixteenth among the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, and he was also quite sad. Li Er may have been confused in the later period, but he still opened the way for his son Li Zhi and became one of the founding heroes who did not die unjustly.
And Hou Junji, ranked seventeenth among the twenty-four meritorious heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, he later died against the crown prince Li Chengqian and Li Er, and finally was executed.
However, Li Er was more lenient to him, and only punished Hou Junji alone, and spared his family. At that time, I didn't know if it was true or false, Li Er still wanted to spare Hou Junji's life, but those ministers were definitely not happy, if the rebellion could not die, then the people would rebel. In the end, Li Er had no choice but to slash Hou Junji with tears, and it can be seen that Li Er is more generous to him.
But when it comes to Hou Junji's character, he is not very tall, after all, he created Li Er's rebellion. He also learned the art of war from Li Jing, but Li Jing hid his hand and did not teach Hou Junji the essence of the art of war. For this reason, Hou Junji falsely accused Li Jing of rebellion, but Li Er was not confused and asked why Li Jing hid his hand. And Li Jing said: "Now that the world is peaceful, I teach Hou Junji the art of war is more than enough to be inside or outside, Hou Junji wants to learn so much, he must have different intentions." ā
Facts also proved that Li Jing guessed Hou Junji's dissent, but Li Er didn't believe him at that time, after all, there are so many people who falsely accuse others of rebellion, Li Er can't believe everyone.
