Chapter 315 [Tang General]
Li Jing's grandson Li Lingwen befriended Li Longji when he was still the king of Linzi, Li Longji had to ascend to the throne, and Li Lingwen contributed a lot and was awarded the title of Duke of Song. Li Lingwen lives a luxurious life,
Later, Li Lingwen's descendants married the Hui chieftain, Li Lingwen was demoted to Fuzhou and died depressed, this reason for degrading officials can be regarded as a strange story in the history of the Tang Dynasty.
Although Li Jing's descendants are not too prominent, they are finally incense.
The melons are long, compared to the many families of heroes who were destroyed by Wu Zetian's family, it is too much stronger. No matter where the temple is high, or the distance of the rivers and lakes, in the face of wealth and nobility, to advance and retreat freely,
It's really a very difficult thing, you don't see it, Huang Chao was frustrated in the imperial examination, Xiucai held a grudge, so he rose up and became a cannibal demon king who did all kinds of evil, you didn't see it, Zhu Wen was the untouchable emperor, and he had no scruples.
Lewd all over his daughter-in-law. It's not that they don't know right from wrong, they just can't control themselves in the face of power. Li Jing did it perfectly, he was at the height of the temple, he was calm, and he was calm at the distance of the rivers and lakes.
Ma Sui
Ma Sui was born in the Fufeng Ma clan, a famous family in Chinese history, and the surname Ying of the Great Qin Empire originated from the same ancestor.
It is said to be the descendants of Boyi, a descendant of Zhuan in the period of Chinese mythology. The descendants of Boyi were born because they were good at driving,
He followed King Mu of Zhou to quell the chaos and was sealed in Zhaocheng (now north of Hongdong County, Shanxi) by Zhou Tianzi, and became the ancestor of the Zhao family.
Later, the three families were divided, and the Zhao family established the Zhao State. At the end of the Warring States Period, Zhao Hao was awarded the title of Ma Fujun because of his military exploits.
His son Zhao Kuo buried 450,000 Zhao troops because of the war on paper, and Zhao Hao's descendants took the horse character of "Ma Fujun" as their surname and changed their name to Ma. After Qin destroyed the Zhao Kingdom, the Ma clan was forced to move to Xianyang (now northeast of Xianyang, Shaanxi), and in the early Western Han Dynasty, they moved to Maoling (now northeast of Xingping, Shaanxi).
Fufeng Ma began to appear on the stage of history and fully showed his style. "A man should die in the border field and be buried with a horse leather shroud", this is the bold words of the Fubo general Ma Yuan, the famous general Ma Chao in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Cao Cao, the hero of the troubled times, cut his beard and abandoned his robe, and in the eyes of the Qiang people at that time, the heroic Ma Chao was the god of war in the world.
In the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty, Ma Sui was born again and established the great cause of glorious descendants. Together with Li Sheng and Hun Xuan, he is known as the three famous generals of the Middle and Late Tang Dynasty.
Ma Sui, whose name is Xunmei, was born in 726 A.D., is 1.86 meters tall, with a heroic appearance and a super high spirit. His grandfather Ma Min, the official to Zuo Yuchao Wei Cangcao, and his father Ma Jilong, the official to Youzhou Jingluo military envoy.
Ma Sui studied with his brothers when he was a teenager. He once threw away his books and sighed and said, "The big husband should make meritorious contributions and pacify the four seas, how can he be a sour and rotten Confucian", he likes to study the art of war and read military books, which laid a solid foundation for his future battlefield battles.
In the fourteenth year of Tianbao (755 AD), the Anshi Rebellion broke out, and Guangluqing Jia followed the rebels' nest Fanyang.
Ma Sui persuaded Jia Xun. "An Lushan carried the emperor's favor and launched a rebellion, although he captured Luoyang, but he will inevitably die in the future. If you can kill Xiang Runke and other rebels. Pulling out its roots, An Lushan could not enter the customs to the west, and lost its base when it retreated, so it could only be captured.
This has made an immortal contribution, and the world can be determined." Jia Xun and Ma Sui were good friends, although they agreed with Ma Sui's plan, but they failed to make a decision immediately, so that the matter was leaked, An Lushan sent an envoy to Fan Yang, ambushed the killer, and killed Jia Xun with a bowstring.
Ma Sui fled when he heard the news and hid for a while, and Zelu Jiedu made Li Baoyu play Ma Sui as Zhao Chengwei.
At that time, the Tang Dynasty borrowed troops from Hui Hui to quell the rebellion, and promised to use generous conditions such as ladies and property, and when the Hui army returned to China, relying on the credit of recovering Luoyang, he acted recklessly, and the supply was slightly unsatisfactory wherever he went, so he killed people. Li Baoyu was ordered to comfort the Hui army,
The guests did not dare to receive this fateful errand, only Ma Sui invited himself to go. When the Hui army passed by, Ma Sui greeted him with a smile and bribed the Hui chieftain with a lot of money.
The hand-holding man was short, and the Hui chieftain gave him a flag as a token, stating that anyone who violated the laws of the Tang Dynasty could use this token to correct the law.
Ma Sui took out a few death row prisoners from the prison, put them beside him to do chores, as long as he made the slightest mistake, he would be executed immediately.
Since then, they have not dared to act recklessly in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, which greatly restrained the tyrannical temperament of the nomads and freed the people of the Tang Dynasty from the suffering of the plundering of the Hui people.
In 781 Yuan, Wei Bojiedu made Tian Yue rebel against the imperial court and besieged the city for several months, and the city was soon running out of ammunition and food, and the guard Zhang Ling was so anxious that he had to dress up his beloved daughter and prepare to sell his daughter in front of the soldiers in exchange for money for the soldiers' daily needs.
Everyone was deeply moved, and they all said that they would do their best to defend the city. Ma Sui's reinforcements rushed outside the city, but they did not immediately attack Tian Yue. The defenders in the city were about to be unable to hold on, so Zhang Ling tied the distress letter to the kite.
The kite flew to the place where the reinforcements were stationed, and Tian Yue ordered people to shoot arrows at the kite, but the kite flew higher and higher and flew straight to Ma Sui's camp. Ma Sui soon saw the kite distress letter, which read,
The city can only support for three days, and if the reinforcements do not act, the defenders in the city will become the enemy's human rations. Ma Sui led the army to storm Yang Chaoguang's camp fence, "pushing the train to burn its fence",
Killed Yang Chaoguang and 5,000 enemy soldiers. Ma Sui's general, Li Ziliang, and others blocked Tian Yue's reinforcements at Shuanggang (northwest of present-day Handan, Hebei), and Ma Sui told them that if Tian Yue's reinforcements broke through the Tang army's defensive line, they would take their own heads. Ma Sui personally guarded the key point, and the two sides fought fiercely for hundreds of rounds.
The Tang army beheaded more than 10,000 people, captured 900 people, and "got 300,000 Hu", and simply and neatly relieved the siege of Linyu.
Tian Yue's remnants of the army assembled in Huanshui, resisted stubbornly, and Ma Sui attacked again and fought a beautiful battle of Huanshui.
In 782 AD, Ma Sui led his army to strengthen Zhangshui, connected hundreds of vehicles with iron locks, and plugged the river with soil bags, so that the Tang army could cross the river along LĂŹ. Ma Sui ordered the troops to bring ten days' military rations and march into Cangkou (northwest of present-day Zhangshui, Henan), across the Huanshui is the city guarded by Tian Yue.
In order to fight quickly, Ma Sui attacked the enemy and saved him, surrounded Wei to save Zhao, first built three wooden bridges on the Huanshui River, and then led the army straight to Tian Yue's old nest Weizhou (now Hebei Daming North), Tian Yue could not sit in peace,
He led the rebels across the river to the north, and the army had just crossed the river. The three bridges were set on fire by the Tang army. Ma Sui's army quickly formed a formation, cleared the weeds, and opened an open position, and Tian Yue's army caught up.
But morale is already exhausted. The elite of the Tang army was unstoppable, and Tian Yuejun retreated to the shore of Huanshui, and there was no way out. The Tang army beheaded 20,000 people and captured 3,000 people,
Tian Yue's army "died for thirty miles", and countless people drowned in the water, Tian Yue fled to Weizhou with thousands of remnants, and the rebels were greatly injured and lost the capital to openly compete with the central government.
Soon the Tang Dynasty court broke out in the Fengtian disaster, Li Huaiguang led the Shuofang army to the rescue, and finally saved Tang Dezong's life, but Tang Dezong, whose zodiac is a horse, has an impatient personality. acted recklessly, and loved to listen to and believe, just escaped Zhu Jun's pursuit, and forced Li Huaiguang, who had made great contributions, fortunately Ma Sui, Hun Ying and others cleaned up the mess for him. Character determines fate,
Tang Dezong's intolerant personality made his ruling career crisis-turbulent, with waves of unsettled and wave after wave. If Ma Sui did not have all kinds of loyalty and tolerance to the emperor, I am afraid it would be difficult to be at ease with the emperor's meanness and eccentricity.
Tang Dezong once named Ma Jizu one of Ma Sui's grandsons, hoping that the descendants of the Ma family could inherit this humble character. After the death of Ma Sui. His son Ma Chang once presented the apricots produced in the family to the palace,
Tang Dezong had never seen such a big apricot, and he actually sent someone to Ma Chang's house to canonize the apricot tree, and the Ma family's homestead was originally a treasure of feng shui. The emperor was so solemn that Ma Chang had no choice but to take the initiative to dedicate the mansion to Tang Dezong.
Changed its name to "Fengcheng Garden", so cautious and cautious, the Ma family survived safely during the Tang Dezong period, those Hu generals who were as fierce as fire. suffered from injustice, but not as easy to talk as the Ma family
, Li Huaiguang's subordinates hacked Tang Dezong's envoy to death. In the first month of the first year of Xingyuan, Ma Sui was crowned as the king of Beiping County, and together with Hun Yang in the service and Luo Yuanguang in the town, he crusaded against Li Huaiguang in the river.
"The sound of iron drums at the head of the city is still vibrating, and the blood of the golden knife in the box has not dried", four months after the fierce battle,
In order to reduce the losses of the Tang army, Ma Sui decided to go to danger alone, and with courage and eloquence, persuaded the generals of the Shuo Fang army to surrender to the imperial court. He came to the outside of the Changchun Palace guarded by the Shuofang army, and called Xu Tingguang, the general of the Shuofang army,
"I am from the imperial court, you can be ordered to the west", Xu Tingguang has always been in awe of Ma Sui's prestige and worshiped in the city. Ma Sui moved with affection and knew with reason, "The officers and soldiers of the Shuofang Army pacified the Anshi Rebellion and made great contributions for the first time.
For more than 40 years, the credit is great, and no one can compare. Now you are following Li Huaiguang to turn your back on the emperor and intend to rebel, this is the disaster of extermination, do you want your wives and children to die with you?
If you take the initiative to surrender, not only will you be exempted from the crime of killing your head, but there will also be ready-made glory and wealth waiting for you, you must think carefully about where to go", the Shuo Fang soldiers were silent, and Ma Sui said,
"If you think that my heart is not sincere enough, here is not far away, you can shoot me with arrows", untied the placket to reveal his heart, Xu Tingguang and others were moved, the officers and soldiers of Shuofang Army shed tears, and Ma Sui's strategy of attacking the heart was successful,
The 6,000 Shuo troops of Changchun Palace no longer obeyed Li Huaiguang's command, and Wei Qi, the general of Jiao Libao Fort, also led 2,000 Shuo troops to surrender to Ma Sui. The town ** festival made Luo Yuanguang want to surrender Xu Tingguang,
Xu Tingguang hated this bearded Tang general, so he asked the actor to pretend to be a resting Hu man and sing loudly on the city wall, which made Luo Yuanguang half angry, so he could only call Ma Sui, an authentic Han man, to negotiate with Xu Tingguang.
Seeing Ma Sui, the Shuo Fang army of Changchun Palace immediately opened the door and surrendered, Ma Sui led several cavalry into the city to pacify, and the Shuo Fang army officers and soldiers were relieved, "My generation has to be the king again", Hun Yu saw it in his eyes, and said to his subordinates,
"I always thought that Ma Sui couldn't compare to me with soldiers, but he beat Tian Yue to the ground several times, and today I saw how he faced the enemy, and I knew that I was far worse than him", Hun Xuan is a Tiele person, and his heart is real,
The words of praise are not hidden in his heart, Luo Yuanguang, who is also a Hu person, does not have such a measure as Hun Xuan, he is evil to the guts, and killed Xu Tingguang who has surrendered with his own hands, Ma Sui was furious, and wanted to correct Luo Yuanguang on the spot, but was persuaded by others to stop.
Ma Sui subdued many Shuofang soldiers, his courage and courage, like the Eastern Han Dynasty's Ban Chao hurricane action in the desert, "do not enter the tiger's den, but get the tiger", riding the moon and the dark wind high,
Shunfeng set fire, killed the Xiongnu envoys, and finally coerced the king of Shanshan to submit to the Eastern Han Dynasty, and obtained the greatest benefits at the lowest cost.
Under the command of Ma Sui, an army of 80,000 soon surrounded Li Huaiguang's lair, and in desperation, Li Huaiguang hanged himself, Niu Mingjun cut off his head, and surrendered out of the city. The 16,000 Shuofang army surrendered to the imperial court, and Ma Sui only killed Yan Yan, Meng Bao and other seven people.
The Tang Dynasty has survived the turbulent crisis, Tang Dezong is very pleased, and crowned Ma Sui as the servant, and one of Ma Sui's sons as the five-grade official was given Ma Sui's "Chenyan" and "Taiheng" two inscriptions, Ma Sui returned to Taiyuan and engraved the two inscriptions on the west side of the uprising hall, "The emperor is the title, and his favor is so,
In the winter of the second year of Zhenyuan, Tubo Koubian captured Yan (now north of Yanchi County, Ningxia) and Xia (now west of Hengshan County, Shaanxi), Ma Sui was appointed as Sui, Yin, and Linsheng envoys, led the Tang army to crusade, and arrived in Shizhou. The Tubo people asked themselves if they were not the opponents of the Tang Dynasty,
repeatedly asked for an alliance with the Tang Dynasty, but Tang Dezong refused. The Tibetan envoy declared his sincerity to Ma Sui, and returned the salt and Xia prefectures, and under the mediation of Ma Sui, Tang Dezong finally agreed to ally with the Tibetans.
Unexpectedly, this is a trap set by Tubo Shang Jiezan, "The famous generals of the Tang Dynasty, Li Sheng, Ma Sui, and Hun Yinger, if you don't go to the three of them, you will worry about me", Shang Jiezan wants to use the Tang Fan Alliance to get rid of the pillars of the Tang Dynasty.
In May of the third year of Zhenyuan (787 AD), the Tang Dynasty allied in Pingliang (now Pingliang City, Gansu), and as expected by the famous general Li Sheng, tens of thousands of Tubo cavalry were killed together.
More than 1,000 people were captured by the Tubo army, and only Hun Yang grabbed a horse without stirrups and desperately broke out of the encirclement of the Tubo people. Tang Dezong was repentant and angry,
took away Ma Sui's military power, but Ma Sui was still the Situ, Shizhong and Beiping County King of the Tang Dynasty, and Tubo released Ma Sui's nephew, and Tang Dezong did not doubt Ma Sui's loyalty. In the past battles, Ma Sui once scattered all his family wealth to reward meritorious soldiers.
"Dezong Jiazhi, Zhaodu spent 50,000 yuan to reward and return the wealth of the Sui family", the monarch and the minister can start and finish well, mainly because of Ma Suigong's selfless character and modest and cautious character, Tang Dezong is not a generous emperor, but he has to be lenient to Li Sheng and Ma Sui, because he can't find a reason not to be generous.
In the fifth year of Zhenyuan, the paintings of Ma Sui and Taiwei Li Sheng were put into the Lingyan Pavilion and put together with the heroes of Tang Taizong. In the ninth year of Zhenyuan, Tang Dezong summoned Ma Sui in Yanying Palace.
Li Sheng has died, the emperor is very sad, "In the past, you and Li Taiwei went to the palace together, but now I only see you alone", Ma Sui fell to the ground because of a foot disease, and the emperor personally helped him up and sent him out of the palace.
In the eleventh year of Zhenyuan (795 AD), Ma Sui died of illness, and Tang Dezong abolished the dynasty for four days, posthumously presented Taiwei, and was nicknamed Zhuang Wu. (To be continued.) )
