098 Li Xiuning

Chai Lingwu's mother is the famous princess of Pingyang, Li Yuan's third daughter, Li Shimin's half-sister, and Chai Shao's wife. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Princess Pingyang does not have a name recorded in the history books, but some wild histories record that her name is Li Xiuning, let's call her Li Xiuning here.

Li Xiuning has shown a different hobby from ordinary girls since she was a child, she likes to ride horses and archery, and she also likes to fight with boys.

This hobby is quite special, so since Li Jiancheng was a child, Li Shimin, her younger brothers, became her first batch of targets.

Li Yuan is also quite fond of this daughter, he has taken it with him since she was a child, he went to the military camp to take it, and took it with him to fight, basically little Li Xiuning's childhood grew up in such an environment.

It is said that you don't need to deliberately learn when you hear and see it, Li Xiuning's childhood is full of soldiers trained in the barracks and fierce battles on the battlefield, and her character has been endowed with strength and courage since she was a child, and she does not admit defeat.

As she grew older, Li Yuan began to ask someone to teach Li Xiuning the etiquette of female redness, but Li Xiuning beat away all the mothers-in-law who taught her with three punches and two kicks, Li Yuan had no choice, he couldn't help his daughter to cultivate four dislikes, at least he was still a dignified Tang Guogong.

So he took the time to talk to his daughter in person and asked Li Xiuning how he could study seriously.

Li Xiuning said to Li Yuan at the time: "Father, Gu Youmulan joined the army for her father, and Ban Shu continued the book for her brother, since they can do this, their daughter will not lose to them." ”。

Li Yuan was dumbfounded at the time, his daughter actually had such ambitions, thinking that he had taken her since she was a child, no wonder her daughter had such thoughts, and finally had to agree to ask the general in the army to be her daughter's teacher and teach her the art of war.

Originally, this matter was Li Yuan to give his daughter an explanation, who knew that Li Xiuning actually had a talent in this area that ordinary people did not have, in just a few years, her art of war and military literacy have surpassed several of her younger brothers, and she can even compete with those veterans in the army.

Li Yuan really didn't expect that it was an unintentional thing to insert willows, but in the end, it really produced fragrant and strange fruits, which was really too much of a surprise.

Indeed, Li Yuan really didn't expect that his daughter would be able to become a rising star on an equal footing with the generals. Of course, he didn't expect that this was just an appetizing dish, and in the next few years, Li Xiuning would bring him more unexpected surprises.

In May of the thirteenth year of the Great Cause of the Sui Dynasty, Li Yuan was picked up by Li Shimin and Liu Wenjing and a group of people and finally raised the banner of anti-Sui.

There is a saying that it is easy to fight the country, but it is difficult to sit on the country. The person who said this sentence is definitely the master who doesn't have a backache when he stands and talks, and he has the ability to go and take a look.

The chariot of the Great Sui is old, but it is still as strong as a thin camel, not to mention that Li Yuan chose to raise troops in Jinyang, which is now Taiyuan.

Just think about it, you can know what the location of Taiyuan is, not far from the north is the Great Wall, and beyond is the arrogant Turks. There is Daxing, the imperial capital of the Great Sui, in the west, and Luoyang, the capital of Luoyang, in the south, which is relatively easy to deal with in the east, and there is a super peasant team like Wagangzhai.

To be honest, Li Yuan's army in Jinyang can be described as embattled.

Fortunately, he has a few tiger generals, and a group of literati strategists to give advice.

Before the Tang Dynasty was established in the history books, most of the credit for the expansion of the territory was recorded in Li Shimin and Li Xiaogong, Li Shimin was responsible for the recovery of most of the northern land around the Yellow River, while Li Xiaogong was in the south to expand the territory and made immortal contributions to the unification of the Tang Dynasty.

In fact, this was only after Li Yuan's Guanzhong Army was defeated, and when he first started his army, he was also beaten by the imperial court officials and all kinds of heroes.

Li Yuan suddenly raised troops in Jinyang, when Li Xiuning and Chai Shao were still in Daxing, the news of the army came, Chai Shao was going to follow Li Xiuning to return to Jinyang quietly, who knew that Li Xiuning resolutely rejected Chai Shao's suggestion and let Chai Shao sneak back to Jinyang by herself, and she stayed alone in Daxing to support Li Yuan's army in Daxing.

Daxing was still in the hands of the imperial court at that time, and Li Xiu would rather be a lonely hero who went deep into the tiger's den. After Chai Shao returned to Jinyang and told Li Yuan about it, Li Yuan lost hope at that time. How can a daughter's family deal with themselves in an environment full of enemies? Li Yuan could only endure the pain when he didn't have this daughter.

That's when the miracle happened.

Li Xiuning deserves to have great ambitions since she was a child, and in just three months, as "Li Gongzi", she gathered four or five rebel armies of considerable scale and fame around Daxing, and then became their leader. With more than 30,000 peasant troops as his family, he constantly fought against the attacking imperial army, and finally developed into a new force of 50,000 mercenaries.

During this period, Li Xiuning captured the Zhou Zhi, Wugong, and Shiping lands in H County, and the momentum was like a bamboo, and the imperial army was defeated and retreated, so Li Xiuning had to give way to the space for survival.

This rebel army, which is led by a woman, has very strict military discipline, Li Xiuning must do what she orders, and the entire army is in awe of her. In those years of rebellion, this army was widely supported. The common people called Li Xiuning "Li Niangzi" and her army "Lady Army".

The Women's Army is famous, and many people have traveled thousands of miles to come. Soon, Li Xiuning's women's army exceeded 70,000. Her military intuition and insight can be called a genius, and the famous Sui general Qu Tutong once suffered several defeats under her.

Li Xiuning occupied a large area of land around Daxing, and Li Yuan was taking Li Shimin to gallop everywhere in the land of Hedong at this time, and Hedong was the SX of later generations from north to south, and it had basically fallen into the hands of Li Yuan.

At this time, Li Yuan's eyes were on Daxing, and his next target was this thousand-year-old capital. What Li Yuan didn't expect was that he was planning how to enter Guanzhong smoothly, and he didn't want Li Xiuning to send someone to deliver the news, saying that he had occupied a large area of land in Guanzhong and was waiting for Li Yuan to take over.

This can no longer be expressed in good news, this is a blessing from heaven! Doze found a pillow, and it was his daughter's great exploits.

For the first time, Li Yuan felt how correct it was for him to talk to Li Xiuniang back then.

In this way, Li Yuan led his troops into the fertile field of Guanzhong without much effort, and Li Shimin led his troops to join Li Xiuniang's women's army north of Weishui.

Immediately afterwards, the sister and brother besieged Daxing, began the battle of Daxing City, and took the imperial capital of the Great Sui in one fell swoop. At this time, Li Yuan had already occupied most of the Guanzhong.

To be honest, without Li Xiuning's vertical and horizontal efforts in Guanzhong, Li Yuan would not have been able to enter Daxing so smoothly, and after occupying Daxing, Li Yuan was actually not much relaxed. There are still many forces around Daxing who are eyeing Li Yuan, and the top priority at the moment is to stabilize the rear.

So Li Xiuning was sent to SX to garrison the base camp for Li Yuan.

The place where Li Xiuning was stationed was the later Niangzi Pass, which was the throat of entering and exiting SX. At this time, Li Shimin happened to exterminate Xue Ju and Li Rail in the northwest, and Li Xiuning sent troops from Niangzi Pass many times to assist Li Shimin, and Xue Ju and Li Rail fled in embarrassment.

Later, Li Shimin eliminated Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande, laying the foundation for the unification of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Xiuning was also there.

The most widely circulated story about her so far happened in Niangzi Pass, when it was the northern tyrant Liu Heimin who besieged Niangzi Pass.

Li Xiuning did not have many good soldiers, and Liu Heimin was besieged by the whole army. At the time of the crisis, Li Xiuning ordered people to find several carts of millet in the unattended field, boiled rice soup in Guanzhong, and after the rice soup was cooked, the rice soup foam on it was poured out along the city gate and city wall.

Catching up with the darkness of the sky, Liu Heimin's enemy army found that there was a lot of dark yellow liquid flowing out of the pass, and they all thought that a large number of military horses had appeared in the city, and those liquids were horse urine, so they immediately went to report to Liu Heimin.

Liu Heimin was shocked, thinking that Li Shimin and their reinforcements were coming, so he had to take advantage of the night to collect his troops in a hurry, and the crisis of Niangziguan was resolved.

It is not difficult to see that Li Xiuning not only has superb military qualities, but also can adapt to the situation and has all the characteristics of a famous general.

After that, Li Yuan's army was like a bamboo, and it took just a few years to win the world in one fell swoop, and Li Xiuning was also named the princess of Pingyang because of many merits, "Those who are in Pingyang, kill Yang Suiye." became the only princess in Datang who has ever been in battle.

In the sixth year of Wude, Li Xiuning, the princess of Pingyang, died of illness, and Li Yuan was in pain and ordered a national mourning.

This incident is recorded in the history books, and the reason is very simple, her funeral actually used a military salute, which is a unique thing from ancient times to the present.

At that time, the ceremonial official raised an opinion that the propaganda used for women's burial was inconsistent with the ancient ritual system, and Gaozu Li Yuan retorted: "Propaganda is military music, in the past, Princess Pingyang always came to the battlefield in person, taking the lead, beating drums and singing gold, and serving military affairs, how can there have been such a woman from ancient times to the present?" What's not to do with a military salute to bury a princess? ”

So he made an exception to bury Princess Pingyang with a military salute, and according to the so-called "Mingde has merit and said 'Zhao'", Princess Pingyang was "Zhao". This is the origin of the later generations who called her "Princess Pingyang Zhao". Princess Pingyang is the only woman in ancient history who was mourned by the army.

Such a capable person, such a feat, not to mention that Chai Lingwu did not dare to rent his mother's courtyard to Li Xiaoer casually, and even Chai Shao did not have this power.

Therefore, after Chai Lingwu finished speaking, Li Yeyi would have something to say, and Li Xiaoer also pushed the boat and said to take a look and then decide.

Now that the place has been agreed, Li Xiaoer didn't want to delay his efforts, so he ate a few mouthfuls of food casually, so he hurriedly got up and followed Chai Lingwu to see Princess Pingyang's courtyard.
