Qu Tutong is very backbone, but his subordinate Sang Xianhe is a soft bone. Not only did he run fast, but the speed of surrender was also staggering. Sang Xianhe surrendered to Liu Wenjing, and the enemy who was still holding a knife to cut the other party to death two months ago is now calling him a brother at the same dinner. Sang Xianhe not only surrendered, but also led the cavalry with Liu Wenjing's subordinates Dou Cong and Duan Zhixuan to chase Qu Tutong. Soon caught up with Qu Tutong. Since you're here, let's fight! Qu Tutong set up his formation, ready to meet the onslaught of the cavalry. But Dou Cong and Duan Zhixuan didn't seem to want to fight, and they didn't charge. There's no way, the top specifies to live. Dou Cong brought Qu Tutong's son Qu Tushou, and he asked Qu Tushou to persuade his father to surrender. Who knew that Qu Tutong didn't eat this set, and left a sentence: "From now on, you and I will no longer be father and son, but enemies." With that, he ordered the soldiers to release their arrows.

At this time, it was still the old subordinate Sang Xianhe who was very capable, and he opened his throat and shouted: "Chang'an has fallen, you are all from Guanzhong, do not surrender...... Where else can you go? "Ginger is still old and spicy! Since you don't want to surrender, let your soldiers surrender, and the soldiers all surrender. You're left with a bare-bones commander, see how you go to Chang'an. At this time, Qu Tutong was really depressed to the extreme, his family was arrested, his subordinates surrendered, and the soldiers were almost gone, so he was left alone. He dismounted and bowed to the southeast and cried, "The minister has done his best and lived up to His Majesty, heaven and earth can testify for me!" Not long after, Qu Tutong was escorted to Chang'an. Li Yuan met him in the court: "It's really late to meet you!" "Boss Li is already so angry, what he wants is Qu Tutong to say a soft word. But Qu Tutong seemed to want to fight Li Yuan to the end: "I can't fulfill the integrity of being a courtier, and being defeated and captured here is really a shame for the court, and it is really a shame for the acting king (Yang Yu)." Everyone was in a cold sweat at the old man. When you're dying, you're still hard-mouthed, so you can't say a soft word? Li Yuan attaches great importance to the word loyalty. though he has done unfaithful deeds. But he had great respect for those who followed the word "loyalty". And for those who violate loyalty, such as Li Mi, Wang Shichong, Dou Jiande, etc., who made the Great Sui Dynasty, they are very hateful. ,…,

Li Mi later surrendered to him, but Li Yuan still didn't want to see him. Later, Li Mi wanted to create Li Yuan's rebellion, but unfortunately he ran too slowly and was beheaded. Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande were also captured by Li Yuan later, but they still failed to escape Li Yuan's knife. In any case, Qu Tutong thought that he was dead, and even everyone present thought that Qu Tutong was dead. But in the end, Li Yuan still let him go. not only let him go, but also named him the secretary of the military department, Jiang Guogong. Later, he also asked him to guard Luoyang. Luoyang was the second largest political and economic center after the capital Chang'an at that time, and even surpassed the capital Chang'an in terms of economy. In the Tang Dynasty, it was generally the prince who guarded Luoyang. Qu Tutong can guard Luoyang. It shows Li Yuan's trust in Qu Tutong. On the sixth day of Li Yuan's capture of Chang'an, he welcomed Yang Yu, the king of the dynasty, to the throne as emperor and honored Yang Guang as the emperor. Comrade Yang Guang was fired by Li Yuan in this way, but there was no way, Chang'an was far away from Jiangdu (now Yangzhou), and there were many robberies and extortions on the road (anti-army). Although Comrade Yang Guang hated Li Yuan for itching his teeth, he couldn't do anything with him. An Li said that Chang'an was also defeated, the territory was also there, there was no shortage of ministers, generals, and soldiers, and other conditions were fully met, compared with those anti-army generals who dared to call themselves the emperor when they occupied a few county towns or a few mountains, Li Yuan was more qualified to be the emperor. But Li Yuan is still not the emperor, not because he doesn't want to, but because the time has not come. Although Chang'an was defeated, most of the people in Chang'an City were still inclined to the Sui Dynasty, and Li Yuan was now like a guest who came to Chang'an as a guest. The territory is there, but it is not big enough, at this time Li Yuan only owns Guanzhong and Taiyuan City, and the territory is really small and pitiful. …,

,…,

Moreover, Comrade Yang Guang has not braided his hair, and the Sui Dynasty government is still a legitimate government. At that time, the situation was still not clear, although Li Mi surrounded Luoyang, but who won and who lost is not known, Yang Guang still has more than 100,000 troops in Jiangdu, Dou Jiande continues to shine, Huainan's Du Fuwei, Longyou's Xue Ju, Hexi's Li Rail, and Mayi's Liu Wuzhou are not all eating dry rice, Li Yuan is not the emperor at this time because he doesn't want to make too many enemies. In March of the second year of Yining (618), there was a mutiny in Jiangdu, and Yu Wenhua killed his boss Yang Guang, Emperor Yang of Sui. When the news reached Chang'an, Li Yuan was very happy, the emperor's cousin, who had wanted his life several times, finally went ahead of himself. Of course, in front of everyone, you still have to pretend to be more sad than your father died. Yang Guang is dead, the most important stumbling block is gone, and the time to be the emperor has finally come. So the old trick came again, and the ministers wrote to ask Emperor Yang Yu to abdicate to Li Yuan, the king of Tang. Yang Yu had no choice, and the knives were all on his neck. Li Yuan said that his ability was limited and he did not dare to be the emperor. The ministers said that if Li Yuan did not become emperor, he would not come to work in the future, and some of them still hugged the pillar and said: If you don't agree, I will die here today. The ministers wrote again and again, and Li Yuan finally accepted it reluctantly. On May 20, 618, the fifty-three-year-old Li Yuan ascended the throne as emperor in the Taiji Palace...... The country name is Tang, the year name is Wude, the whole world celebrates, and the world is amnesty. Since then, the Tang Dynasty has stood in the east of the world as the most prosperous dynasty in China's culture, the most developed economy, and the most advanced in politics. She influences every Chinese with her unique charm, and there are still many Chinatowns abroad. ,…,

With her tenacious vitality, she has survived in China's history for two hundred and ninety years, and has made this history a world that haunts every Chinese and even foreigner. And the pioneer of this qiē is none other than Li Yuan. Many historians in history and even many contemporary historians do not have a very high evaluation of Li Yuan. From the beginning of the Taiyuan army, Li Yuan described him as a supporting role throughout the establishment of the Tang Dynasty. There is no way, his son Li Shimin is too powerful, there are too many fans (historians of previous dynasties), and the limelight was all stolen by Li Shimin. But I believe that history is fair to everyone, and words may be artificially altered, but there is only one truth. No one can deprive Li Yuan of the glory that belongs to him! Yes, no one. The rise of Western Qin, Li Yuan's dragon chair has not yet been hot, and someone looking for trouble has come. In June of the first year of Wude (618), Xue Ju joined forces with ** and Liang Shidu to attack Chang'an, preparing to drive Li Yuan back to his hometown in Taiyuan. Xue Ju (?) ―618), his ancestral home was in Fenyin, Hedong (present-day Wanrong County, Shanxi). However, the hukou is Jincheng in Longxi (now Lanzhou, Gansu), which belongs to foreign hukou. Xue Ju is very strong (magnificent), particularly muscular, and has a very simple mind. Like Li Yuan, he likes to shoot, and he shoots very well. Long is strong, and he also has the skill of piercing Yang in a hundred steps, so he is naturally liked by local officials, and this official is Jincheng Ling Hao Ming. In this way, Xue Ju worked under Hao Ying and became a glorious civil servant of the Sui Dynasty. It is also strange to say that a few years later, Xue raised troops against Sui and proclaimed himself the overlord of Western Qin, and his first strategist was this Hao Yin. Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi are not false at all, and now Hao Ying will work for Xue Ju. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the world was chaotic, and the Longxi (southeastern Gansu) area was also full of thieves, and these thieves often went to the ground of Jincheng to commit cross-border crimes. Hao Ying was a very competent official, and immediately recruited thousands of men and horses to hand over to Xue Ju to quell the rebellion. ,…,

If you go out to quell the rebellion (just a few thieves), you naturally have to have a pledge meeting or something. Hao Ying brought a group of colleagues to support Xue Ju. But he didn't expect that Xue Ju would actually aim his gun at him, Xue Ju arrested Hao Ying at the meeting, and he rebelled with these thousands of people. The general of the Sui Dynasty, Huangfu Juan, heard that Xue Ju had rebelled, and led 10,000 soldiers to clean up Xue Ju. Xue Ju is not easy to bully. led an army of 2,000 to meet the emperor. The two armies confronted each other across the river. As you know, there are often strong winds in that place in the northwest, and sometimes sandstorms. Huang Fu Ju and Xue Ju encountered this situation, at first the wind was thinking about Xue Ju's direction, at this time, if Huang Fu Ju launched an attack, it would be impossible to resist Huang Fu Ju's 10,000 army with Xue Ju's 2,000 miscellaneous army. However, Huang Fuwan's military level was quite limited, and he missed this opportunity. As the saying goes: opportunities are equal for everyone. Huang Fuwan didn't grasp this opportunity, but Xue Ju made full use of it. It didn't take long for the wind to reverse and blow towards the Emperor's army. Xue Ju naturally would not miss this opportunity and led the army to storm the Sui army. The result was simple, the 10,000-strong army was defeated by the 2,000-stray army. Xue Ju became popular like this, and naturally there were more fans, and there were countless people who took refuge in him. Xue Ju earned the first pot of gold in his life - an army of 130,000 people. In July of the thirteenth year of the Great Cause (617), Xue Ju proclaimed himself emperor in Jincheng. Soon after, he sent his son Xue Rengao to conquer Qinzhou (present-day Tianshui, Gansu) to the east, and moved the capital from Jincheng to Qinzhou. At this time, the morale of the Western Qin army was at its peak, and Xue Ju's pride was like a surging river, endless. But the conditions in this place in the northwest are really difficult, except for sand or sand around, there are no entertainment facilities at all, and you have no place to play if you have money. It's better to be in the metropolis of Chang'an! Then move towards Chang'an! But if you want to conquer Chang'an, you must conquer Fufeng (now Longxian County, Gansu), so Xue Ju sent Xue Rengao to lead the army to Fufeng. …,

,…,

The Fufeng area is the territory of another rebel leader, Li Hongzhi, in fact, Li Hongzhi is just a puppet, and the real powerful faction is Tang Bi. When Tang Bi heard that Xue Rengao was coming to grab the territory, he was very angry and led the army to come? F source, and set up a formation, ready to fight with Xue Rengao. Although Xue Rengao was mighty, he didn't dare to underestimate Tang Bi, because Tang Bi was still very powerful, with an army of about 100,000. Since you can't come to the hard one, let's come to the soft one! Xue Rengao sent envoys to persuade Tang Bi to surrender and promised to give high-ranking officials a good fortune. Tang Bi is also a real person, and when he heard that there were high-ranking officials and Houlu, he killed Li Hongzhi and prepared to surrender Xue Rengao. In the eyes of Xue Rengao, the "second generation of officials", integrity is like shit, where is there a little value at all. Xue Rengao took advantage of Tang Bi's unpreparedness and suddenly launched an attack on Tang Bi. Didn't you say you were going to surrender? Oh, yes! But I didn't say I won't beat you if I surrender! Tang Bi was fooled like this, poor Tang Bi became a villain who bought the glory for nothing, and was beaten by the new owner before he could get the slightest benefit.

Tang Bi was beaten, and he planned to report to the official, and ran to the Fufeng government compound with hundreds of cavalry to prepare to surrender. So a funny scene appeared: one rebel was beaten by another, and this rebel had to run to report the case and ask the government to come forward to fight another rebel. Fufeng Taishou couldn't cry or laugh, two days ago he took 100,000 people to rebel, but now he was going to surrender, and without saying a word, he directly cut Tang Bi. Tang Bi, you are a ridiculous person. At this time, the national strength of Western Qin increased greatly, with an army of 300,000. The next target: Chang'an. ,…,

The defeat is high?~ Li Yuan was very anxious when he heard that Xue Ju had united the Turks and the Liang division to attack Chang'an. Because not long ago, the Tang army experienced fierce battles...... If the three-way army attacked Chang'an together at this time, Chang'an would definitely not be able to hold it. What to do? Li Yuan decided to send Yu Wenxin to lobby **. Of course, gifts are indispensable. Yu Wenxin was an excellent diplomat. After taking the gift under his flicker, Mo Helu finally agreed not to send troops to attack Chang'an. Many people may not know who Mo Helu is. But his other name must be familiar to everyone - Gilly Khan. At this time, he was still the younger brother of Luo Khan, but a few years later, he led 200,000 Turkic iron cavalry to almost destroy the Tang Dynasty that had just been established. And Liang Shidu is the godson of the Turks, and his godfather does not go to Chang'an, so Liang Shidu naturally stays at home. Li Yuan could finally breathe a sigh of relief, although he spent a lot of money. But it's better than not dying at all. When Xue Ju heard that Mo He had been bribed, he jumped up and scolded Mo He She, but after scolding, he still had to make a decision quickly. But before he could make a decision, Zhang Changxun, the governor of Fengzhou in the Tang Dynasty, took the initiative to send troops to take Xue Rengao's deputy general Zong Luo? Hit. Xue Ju heard that the younger brother Zongluo? I beat him and was very angry. If you don't help the younger brother out of this tone, how will you be the eldest brother in the future. So Xue Ju took all the men and horses to aid Zongluo, and camped outside Gao~ City, and also sent people to the two cities of Feng (now Bin County, Shaanxi) and Qi (now Fengxiang, Shaanxi) to rob them. Of course, Zhang Changxun was not Xue Ju's opponent of hundreds of thousands of people, and he ran back very self-consciously. Xue Ju still came, and Li Yuan had no choice but to send Li Shimin to fight with Xue Ju. In fact, Li Yuan really wanted to kill Xue Ju, at this time, in addition to Li Yuan, there were only two rebel companies in the northwest region, Xue Ju and Li Rail. And the boss of Li Liang is a guy who has no revenge, and he never wants to expand the scale of the company. Therefore, only Xue Ju can threaten Chang'an, if Xue Ju can be brought down, Li Yuan will undoubtedly solve his worries, and he can concentrate on dealing with the major rebel companies in the Central Plains. It was not the first time that Li Shimin had fought with Xue Ju, as early as a few months ago, that is, when Xue Rengao attacked Fufeng, Li Shimin led his troops to beat Xue Rengao. Therefore, Li Shimin knows the Western Qin Army very well, although he brought not many people this time, only 40,000 people, but Li Shimin is still very confident in defeating the Western Qin Army. Li Shimin led the army into Gao?~ City, he is not in a hurry to fight with the Western Qin Army now, he knows the Western Qin Army too well, hundreds of thousands of horses are going to eat, and how much grain can be produced in that place in Gansu in a year? You don't have to fight with them, they will have to retire obediently after starving them for a few months. However, there were unforeseen circumstances, Li Shimin was sick, and he was seriously ill, and he needed to be hospitalized for observation for more than ten days. During his hospitalization, Li Shimin handed over military power to Liu Wenjing and Yin Kaishan, and instructed them not to rush to fight the Western Qin army, and to wait for a period of time when his illness was cured and then show them the Western Qin army Haibian. But Liu Wenjing and Yin Kaishan were eager to seek merit, or they were afraid that the Western Qin army would come to attack when they knew the news of Li Shimin's illness. So he decided to take the initiative to find the stubble of the Western Qin army. What's more, they made this decision without telling Li Shimin, who was recuperating. When Li Shimin knew about this, it was too late. Liu Wenjing and Yin Kaishan had already transferred the Tang army out of Gao~ City, and lined up with the shallow water plain in the southwest. Tang Jun took the initiative to find fault, which Xue Ju couldn't ask for. In addition to Xue Ju's frontal formation to meet the Tang army in the shallow water plain. Another cavalry was sent to quietly go around to the rear of the Don army. The vast majority of the Tang army was infantry, and some historical sources record that the cavalry of the Tang army at this time was less than 5,000. And half of the war horses were "sent" by the Turks (of course, you can also say that they were bought). The cavalry of Western Qin was like entering the formation of the Tang army in a no-man's land, and Xue Ju charged from the front. The Don army was attacked on both sides and was quickly defeated. In this battle, five or six out of ten of the Tang army were killed and wounded, and the generals Li Anyuan, Liu Hongji, and Murong Luo? and others were captured. Li Shimin led the remnants of the army back to Chang'an, Gao?~ Lost! Xue Ju finally let out a sigh of relief and defeated Li Shimin. What is even more gratifying is the occupation of Gao?~, which is equivalent to the western gateway of Chang'an, which is not far away. And the Tang army is newly defeated, and there are not many defenders in Chang'an, and in Xue Ju's opinion, Chang'an is already in the bag. However, God did not intend to abandon Tang, just when Xue Ju was planning to march to Chang'an. Suddenly, due to illness, the rescue was ineffective and died. To be honest, Xue Ju's death did not cause much loss to the Western Qin army, at most a memorial service was held to delay the time to go to Chang'an. But it didn't take long for Xue Ju's partner Hao Ying to get sick due to the sad transition, and he couldn't even get out of bed and walk. Hao Ying was Xue Ju's first strategist, and many policies and schemes came from Hao Jin. Hao Ming's illness was undoubtedly a huge blow to the Western Qin army. Of course, Hao Ming's illness was just a pretense, which was used to fool Xue Rengao, who was about to take over his father's class. Xue Rengao, like his father, is muscular and simple-minded. But he also has a difference from his dad - so suspicious! Hao Ying is an old fox, so he naturally knows that Xue Rengao is not as amiable as his father, so he simply pretended to be sick and coaxed his grandson to play at home. ,…,
