Chapter 296 [Conquering the World]
If you want Kim Famin to return it, it's like letting a dog spit out the meat bun in its mouth, it's impossible; If you want to send troops to destroy Silla, reality does not allow it. Datang is very helpless!
If the story ends here, it would be a good ending. The dispute between Tang and Silla was, in the final analysis, a battle between the two sides for the homeland of Baekje and Goguryeo. Writing along the way, I felt that the dispute between Tang and Silla was more like the dispute between the central government and the local government. The local government of Silla Province wants to put Baekje Goguryeo under its jurisdiction, while the central government Daetang wants to make Baekje Goguryeo a municipality directly under its jurisdiction!
In fact, it doesn't really matter who it ends up with. First of all, this is an internal contradiction, that is to say, it is the internal affairs of the Tang Dynasty, not only Baekje and Goguryeo, but even you Silla, there is also a label of "exclusive to the Tang Dynasty" on your head! If you return to Silla, they won't have the surname Tang?
Joke! I believe that in those days, if you traveled abroad, when you were asked where you came from, if you said that you were from the "Eastern Tang Dynasty", you must have a lot of face and be very proud.
However, if you insist that you are a Silla, you may be embarrassed to speak! Moreover, whether the two places are under the jurisdiction of Silla Province or directly under the direct jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty, the important thing is not the land, but the people living on the land. The people are the foundation, and the key to governing the country is to let the people live and work in peace and contentment, and have rich food and clothing.
After years of fighting, it is the ordinary people who are hurt. Well, the Tangluo dispute is such a big thing, and for Datang, it's not very big - although it tortures Silla hard! Unfortunately, the story doesn't go in the direction we assume. The law of "pretending to be a grandson" 1: pretending to be a grandson originates from the essence of restlessness, and the essence of restlessness leads to pretending to be a grandson.
Kim has a good grasp of this law! And it's very skillful! "Ran (Kim Famin) took more Baekje land, and then arrived in the southern border of Goguryeo as a state and county" - "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms" Silla Benji Kim Famin once again began his treacherous greedy expansion! No shame! There is no faith at all!
In the face of this behavior, what should Datang do? Hit! Beat you back to grandson! As mentioned earlier, Liu Renliang led the main force of the Tang Army back to China to support the battlefield on the Western Front, but left Li Jinxing behind. The imperial court appointed Li Jinxing as an ambassador to pacify Anton, stationed in Maixiao City, and was responsible for passing through the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate.
Li Jinxing does not have many troops in his hands, and he is still his soldier. Less than 40,000 people, but enough! In the face of Kim Famin's provocative behavior, Li Jinxing gave a powerful response with his fists: "(Tang Li Jinxing) besieges Chimu City. Extinguished, the county ordered the people to refuse, and died of exhaustion. "(Tang Li Jinxing) surrounded Shixian City and pulled it out. The county order and so on, and died in battle. ”
- "History of the Three Kingdoms"...... The purpose of pretending to be a grandson is to beg for mercy, but the ultimate purpose of pretending to be a grandson is not to be beaten. It seems that Kim Famin is still a little bit away from the best grandson, which is thankful. Tang Ren is glad that he was not deceived by your behavior of pretending to be a grandson.
The people of Silla are glad that their British lord is not the best grandson! Li Jinxing, you are too bad, you have defeated me twice in a row! Are you invincible? No, you can be defeated! I must and can defeat you! Kim Famin did it, and he managed to defeat Lee Jinxing. And it was a big win, the biggest win ever—just, just,...... It's just in the history books! (I'm embarrassed to say that I can't open my mouth, and I can't write it.) )
Buy Xiaocheng Victory" (the fifteenth year of King Wenwu, that is, 675 AD) autumn and September,...... Li Jinxing led 200,000 troops to buy Xiaocheng, and our army shot them away, and got 30,380 horses. The rest of the soldiers are called yes. ”
The seventh volume of the Silla Benji is to the effect that the Silla army defeated Li Jinxing's 200,000 Tang army in the battle of Mai Xiaocheng, captured more than 30,000 war horses, and captured countless other military supplies! Surprised! Surprising! The strength of the Tang Dynasty was far higher than that of Silla, and the Goguryeo army used only 100,000 troops. The soldiers used to destroy Baekje were also 100,000, but 200,000 soldiers were used to fight your little Silla.
And a fiasco! The Tang army was defeated, and the battle of Dafeichuan was nothing more than the defeat of 50,000 people. Silla turned out to be so powerful overnight! Shameful and courageous, after suffering several fiascos, Silla endured humiliation, kept his head in obscurity, and worked hard. After completing his work in one battle, he turned the tide and relied on his strength to defeat more than 200,000 main forces of the Tang Dynasty and won the victory in the anti-Tang struggle.
I don't need to pretend to be a grandson anymore, the impression left by pretending to be a grandson to future generations is not glorious after all, I want to correct my name, buy Xiao Cheng, and fight for my name. Fortunately, the success of buying Xiaocheng has proved itself, pretending to be a grandson is just a means, pretending to be a grandson is just the definition you give me with a smile and personal feelings.
Actually, I'm not pretending to be a grandson, that's a common saying, and the official name of my behavior is: "Bear the burden of humiliation"! I proved my strength, and the six-year battle of Tangluo ended perfectly with my Silla's victory, and from then on, I will continue to work hard and embark on the grand road of unifying Samhan, a generation of heroes, I, Kim Fa Minya! Look down on the Tang Dynasty, mighty Silla............ Don't panic, this story is pure fiction, if there are similarities, it is a coincidence!
Only the Silla historian is allowed, and I am not allowed to smile and make up a fiction? Joke! However, there is no similarity in this story, and there is no coincidence. This is completely the self-consolation of the Silla historians.
Then let's go back and see what the battle of Buying Xiaocheng recorded in the "History of the Three Kingdoms" is! Why do you say "this story is pure fiction"?
Let's take a look at the records in Chinese and foreign historical materials about this battle, in addition to the above "History of the Three Kingdoms", the others are: "Zizhi Tongjian" volume 202: "Zhao Yi Li Jin acted as the ambassador of Andong to pacify Andong, and Tun Silla bought Xiaocheng to pass through it, and the three wars were all victor,......ious" "New Tang Book" volume 236: "Zhao Li Jin acted as the ambassador of Andong to pacify Andong, Tun bought Xiaocheng, and the three wars were all northern." "Shufu Yuangui" volume 986: "The edict was sent by Li Jin as the ambassador to pacify Andong, and the troops were stationed in Silla to buy Xiaocheng to pass through, and fought three battles before and after Silla, all of which were defeated by Silla.
According to the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms", since Liu In-rail and Yi Jinxing led their troops to the peninsula, there were a total of 6 battles with Silla, including the Battle of Ada Fortress, the Battle of Shijuseong, the Battle of Mai Xiao Fortress, the Battle of Chimu Fortress, the Battle of Seokhyeon Fortress, and the Battle of Baeksui Fortress.
Among them, the two battles of Ada City and Qichongcheng took place before Liu Renliang "led troops back" and Li Jinxing "stationed troops in Maixiao City", and were commanded by Liu Renliang. Then in the remaining four wars, the battle of Baishui City clearly recorded that the commander of the Tang Army was Xue Rengui, so the "three battles were victorious" in domestic historical materials are the three battles of Chimu City, Shixian City, and Mai Xiaocheng.
That is to say, according to domestic historical sources, the battle of buying Xiaocheng was won by the Tang army, but it was only slightly mentioned! In order to show fairness, let's start with the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms" in the Silla historical materials. to uncover the truth about Silla's so-called victory in buying Xiao Cheng. First of all, the premise that "Li Jinxing led 200,000 troops" is the biggest fiction. In the third year of Yonghui of Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty (that is, in 652 AD), the number of households in the Tang Dynasty was 380wan.
Based on the calculation of 10 households and one soldier, the total strength of Datang at this time was about 400,000. In addition to the garrisons in various places and the heavy army groups dealing with Tibet in the northwest at the moment, it is impossible to use 200,000 troops in the direction of Silla on the eastern front, and Liu Renliang has already returned to China with the main force. Therefore, the record of Li Jinxing leading 200,000 troops is fictional. So how many troops does Li Jinxing have? All the way. According to many sources, Li Jinxing's troops did not exceed 40,000.
12 years ago, when the Tang Dynasty sent Sun Renshi, the general of the Right Weiwei, to support Liu Renliang of the Xiongjin Governor's Mansion, the reinforcements led by Sun Renshi were 7,000 people, but the historical records of the Three Kingdoms recorded 400,000. Second, Silla "had 380 horses." Li Jinxing's troops were about 40,000 and he lost 30,380 horses, which was a fiasco?
It's the annihilation of the whole army! Okay, here's the problem. After Li Jinxing, who was completely wiped out, returned to China next, he was transferred to the "Ambassador of Jishi Daojinglu" to deal with Tibet. A general of the defeated army, not only was not punished after the defeat, but also received orders to deal with the most powerful Tubo, and treated Tubo as a bandit? I look down on Tubo too much, Jin Famin, be careful that the Tubo people are anxious with you!
Due to the urgency of the military situation, the army had to march lightly and quickly, so they gave up many baggage supplies, which were picked up by the Silla army that arrived later. In the end, there is "the rest of the soldiers, called (innumerable)!" "Perhaps, this is the real battle of buying Xiao City. The Silla people used their own historical records to expose their own lies—this is the only valuable place where the account of this battle in Silla is valuable. Thanks to the Silla historian for leaving suspense at the same time. He also left evidence to prove his lame lies! ※ Silla's 18-game winning streak lies more than one place,
After Li Jinxing's Tang army successively won three battles and three victories in Chimu City, Shixian City, and Maixiao City, such a message suddenly came: "I fought eighteen battles with Tang soldiers, all of them were victorious, and I was beheaded six thousand and forty-seven levels." and two hundred horses
Silla had a custom that if he won a victory, he would reward the generals who participated in the battle. For example, in 662 A.D., after the battle with Goguryeo's Hyocheon River, "on merit, divide wealth, granges, and slaves in order to give Jin Yuxin and Jin Ren ask ,......"; For example, in 668 AD, after assisting the Tang Dynasty in the battle to destroy Goguryeo, "Jin Yu was given the letter to be too big and the horn was too strong, and Jin Ren asked the big horn to ,......";
For example, in 671 A.D., after attacking the grain transportation troops of the Tang Dynasty and capturing the Marquis of Tang Lang, "the first rank of the Gong Gong and the title of Sha Li." ”…… And this time, winning 18 consecutive games against Tang is the first time for Silla, who has always lost more and won less. For such a remarkable victory, Silla did not reward anyone.
What the result is, we will know immediately!
The final battle was in 675 AD, the second year of Emperor Gaozong of Tang Dynasty, and the fifteenth year of King Wenmu of Silla. Li Jinxing left the Korean Peninsula with the record of "three victories in three wars" and was ordered to go to the northwest to continue to write his glorious military chapter.
However, the Tang Dynasty did not abandon the Korean Peninsula, hoping to strive for greater interests on the peninsula while guarding against Tibet. Liu Renliang, Li Jinxing and other famous generals of the time have been transferred to the front line of Tubo, so who is left by the Tang Dynasty to the Korean Peninsula? We have to find out if there are any generals who can get their hands on it and use it.
As soon as I looked for it, there was really a "famous general" who was not sent to the front line in Tibet, and now he was idle at home, and this person was Xue Li Xue Rengui, a farmer in Longmen that we were already familiar with.
There are not many famous generals in the Gaozong Dynasty, and now is the time for the imperial court to employ people, so he was not sent? The reason must also be understood: in the past five years, Xue Rengui was first defeated by Dafeichuan and the whole army was annihilated, and then the Xiongjin Governor's Mansion fell in his hands, regardless of whether the main reason was Xue Rengui, as the commander of the army, he failed to share the emperor's worries, and lost his teacher and land, which is a responsibility that cannot be escaped.
Emperor Li Zhi was still merciful to Xue Rengui, but he only removed all his officials and reduced his posts to the people. The shape of the Korean Peninsula is already very clear, and it is in a state of stalemate: after several defeats in Silla, it is impossible to make a bigger move; The Tang Dynasty was held back by the Tibetans, and it was impossible to regain more territory from Silla.
Anyway, Xue Rengui is idle, so it is better to send him to the peninsula, it is best to regain some benefits for Datang. Even if you can't take it back, you won't lose anything. So, Xue Rengui was used again in this situation and led his troops to deal with Silla.
The emperor's indifferent attitude determined that Xue Rengui could only rely on himself for this expedition. At this time, Xue Rengui was already 61 years old, as the first general of the Gaozong Dynasty who had a lifetime of Rong Ma and a reputation of ancient and modern times, he made heavy mistakes one after another in his later years, which was an unacceptable shame for the heroic Xue Rengui! The emperor's attitude doomed him to find it difficult to get more support from the state.
I'm old, I'm still strong, but I'm weak! On the Korean Peninsula, I left behind many glories: stationed at the foot of the mountain, I single-handedly disturbed the 150,000 Goguryeo army; In the Jinshan Great Array, I took the lead in defeating the 100,000 Goguryeo army; When I was in the prime of life, I rode a horse at a gallop, invincible, and unstoppable! When I was in the prime of life, I attacked more with less, destroyed the front, and swept away the army! I have never been afraid, thousands of enemy troops, I, Xue Rengui, regard it as a mustard! …… At that time, I could win on my own.
At this time, I have no rival courage and no longer exist. Xue Rengui attached great importance to this mission, and if he succeeded, he would not only be able to regain the Xiongjin Governor's Mansion and other territories lost by the Tang Dynasty, but also regain his prestige.
Although Xue Rengui has led troops to fight on the Korean Peninsula many times and is familiar with the local terrain and routes, in order to be sure, he still found a helper for himself - Jin Fengxun.
Kim Fengxun, a native of Silla, studied abroad in Tang Silla, and his father is Kim Jinzhu! Kim Jin-joo was not a simple figure in Silla, and Kim In-wen (Lee Ji had named him the king of Silla to replace Kim Famin) and Kim Chin-tu were both the three major generals in the early days of the reign of King Kim Famin of Silla, and their position was second only to the first general of Silla, the Taejiao Gan Kim Yuxin.
Absolute Pillars! Absolute high-level core! It stands to reason that after being a high-ranking cadre, he was sent to Datang by the state to study, and he should be loyal to Silla and repay the training given by Silla, but why did Jin Fengxun help Xue Rengui to fight his own country?
Because his father Jin Jinzhu was killed by Kim Famin, he formed a deep hatred with Kim Famin! Therefore, it is not surprising that he agreed to help Xue Rengui. By the way, the reason why his father Kim Jin-joo was killed was because he was a high-ranking official but did not handle government affairs and ate and drank all day long.
What's more, he also made a lame excuse for his incompetence - he was sick! As a result, he was killed by Jin Famin in a fit of rage and wiped out the Nine Clans. "(Kim Jin-joo) falsely claims to be sick and idle, and does not care about state affairs. Then he punished him and razed his people. ”
Jin Zhenzhu was killed for bullying the king, not doing his job, and being killed for his improper style, but Jin Famin exterminated the nine clans, which was a bit too much. Jin Fengxun saw that he had the opportunity to follow the first general of the Tang Dynasty to go back to take revenge, and of course he would not refuse Xue Rengui's invitation, so he acted as a guide for the troops - leading the way and killing back.
