Xue Wanjun and Xue Wanche brothers were shot and fell off their horses, and they could only fight the enemy on foot.

When he got the news, he led hundreds of horsemen to the rescue, fought desperately, "the thieves were invincible", and finally rescued the Xue brothers.

At that time, Murong Fuyun, the Khan of Tuyuhun, was preparing to cross the Tulun River (also known as Tulun Moraine, now the Taklamakan Desert in Xinjiang) and defected to Khotan.

Advocating a fierce pursuit and fierce attack, Xue Wanjun resolutely opposed this in view of the lessons of the last distress. He Li elaborated his reasoning, "The Tuyuhun people live in pursuit of water and grass, and there is no settled city.

Once they are scattered, it will be very difficult to dump their nests", he personally selected thousands of elite cavalry, and went straight to the Tulun River, the desert was dry and waterless, and the Tang army stabbed horses and drank blood, day and night.

Finally caught up with Murong Fuyun, beheaded thousands of people, and seized more than 200,000 camels, horses, cattle and sheep, Murong Fuyun escaped alone, and his wife was captured by the Tang army. Murong Fuyun was later cornered and hanged himself.

Murong Fuyun's son Murong Shun surrendered to the Tang army and was canonized as the king of Xiping County, Tuyuhun was annexed to the Tang Dynasty, and the northwest frontier was peaceful.

When Tang Taizong heard of the great victory, he sent envoys to Dadou Tu Valley (now Qilian Shanbiandukou) to comfort the generals. Xue Wanjun wants to take the big credit alone,

Unexpectedly, he took revenge, slandered Qi Bi He Li, Qi Bi He Li was angry, drew his sword and rose up, wanting to kill Xue Wanjun, and the generals tried their best to dissuade him,

so that there was no bloodshed. After Tang Taizong found out the truth, he was very angry, and he decided to deprive Xue Wanjun of his official position and transfer it to Qi Bi He Li. At this time, he was very generous and talked eloquently,

told Tang Taizong a great truth, "If Xue Wanjun is relieved of his official position because of me, others will think that His Majesty is heavy and ignorant of Han, so that." There will be more and more false accusations. Yi Di is ignorant, and will think that the Han generals are like this, which is quite detrimental to the country",

Tang Taizong was very emotional. From then on, he favored He Li of Qibi, appointed him as the guard of Xuanwu Gate (the north gate of Chang'an Taiji Palace), inspected the camp affairs, and married the lord of Lintao County to him as his wife.

In the thirteenth year of Zhenguan (639 AD), Tang Taizong appointed Hou Junji as the chief of the Jiaohe Road March. Qi Bi He Li is the deputy general manager of Green Mountain Road,

led tens of thousands of foot riders to conquer Gaochang. Ju Wentai, the king of Gaochang, attached himself to the Western Turks, obstructed the communication between the countries of the Western Regions and the Tang Dynasty, and brazenly sent troops to attack Yiwu (now Hami, Xinjiang) and Yanqi (now southwest of Yanqi, Xinjiang) and other countries that were dependent on the Tang Dynasty.

The reason why Ju Wentai was so bold and reckless was because Gaochang was 7,000 miles away from the Tang Dynasty, and the sand moraine was 2,000 miles longitudinal, and it was almost impossible for tens of thousands of Tang troops to pass through the desert land without water and grass.

However, this impossibility was made possible by Chebi Holi, who was familiar with the local terrain and acted as a guide for the army.

Guiding the Tang army to reach the mouth of the Tang Dynasty (now the Luntai area of Xinjiang), Ju Wentai learned the news and was scared to death, and Ju Wentai's son Ju Zhisheng became the king of Gaochang. Tang Jun and other Gaochang funerals are over,

launched a thunderous offensive, all the way like a bamboo, straight to the capital of Gaochang, rushed to the rescue of Gaochang's Western Turkic reinforcements were defeated by the Tang army's offensive,

He was forced to surrender to the Tang army at Khan Futu City (present-day Jimusar Beibochengzi, Xinjiang). Ju Zhisheng saw that the Tang army had a huge nest car and a city car,

The walls crumbled one by one. Finally had a nervous breakdown and went out of the city to surrender. The Gaochang Kingdom, which was 800 miles from east to west and 500 miles from north to south, was incorporated into the territory of the Tang Dynasty, with a population of 37,700 people and 4,300 horses.

Xizhou was set up in the old land of Gaochang, Tingzhou was set up in Khan Futu City, and Anxi Protectorate was set up in Jiaohe City (now Turpan West, Xinjiang), which opened up the transportation arteries from the Tang Dynasty to the countries of the Western Regions.

curbed the arrogance of the Western Turks, in the middle. He Li made great contributions to the pacification of Gaochang in the Tang Dynasty.

In the sixteenth year of Zhenguan (642 AD), Qibi He Li returned to Liangzhou to visit his mother and younger brother, and inspected his tribe by the way.

At that time, Xue Yantuo became the most powerful tribe among the Tiele tribes, and the Khibi tribe had the same root and species as it, and many people were willing to join it, and they took Khibi He Li's mother and younger brother hostage and came to the place of Xue Yantuo Khan Yinan.

When He Li learned of this, he tried his best to dissuade everyone, "The emperor is not thin on you, and he trusts me very much, how can you be treacherous",

The leaders said, "Kedun and the governor have gone to Xue Yantuo, why don't you go", and Qibi He Li expressed his attitude, "My younger brother Qibi Shamen is a filial person, and he can support his mother,

I promise the country with my body, and I will never collude with Xue Yantuo", the leaders have been planning for a long time, and they can't help but say, they tied up Qi Bi He Li and forcibly brought it to Xue Yantuo.

The news spread to the Tang Dynasty, everyone discussed, and some people took the opportunity to fall into the well, "People's hearts are happy with their land, and what is the force of Qi Bi to Xue Yantuo, it can be said that he is like a fish in water", Tang Taizong expressed full confidence at this time, "This person's heart is like iron stone,

I will not betray me", the facts proved that Tang Taizong's wisdom of knowing people, after Qi Bi He Li came to the tooth tent of Xue Yantuo Khan Yinan, he refused to return, he sat down, pulled out his saber, and shouted loudly,

"How can there be a martyr of the Tang Dynasty, humiliated by the court, heaven and earth, the sun and the moon, I wish to know my heart", cut off his left ear, showing his determination to be loyal to the Tang Dynasty.

Yi Nan was furious and was about to kill Qi He Li, but his wife came forward to dissuade him, leaving Qi He Li's life. Xue Yantuo's envoy came to the Tang Dynasty and reported the situation to Tang Taizong.

Tang Taizong was very moved, crying and said to the ministers, "I don't know what happened to Qi Qi He Li now", he immediately sent Cui Dunli, the squire of the military department, to Xue Yantuo on the condition of marrying the princess of the Tang Dynasty.

In exchange for the power of the contract. For the rest of his life, he was promoted to the right Xiaowei general of the Tang Dynasty (Zheng Sanpin, the prince of the Tang Dynasty was only one product).

Yi Nan was full of joy, and in the seventeenth year of Zhenguan (643 AD), he sent people to offer 50,000 horses, 10,000 cows, and 100,000 sheep to Tang Taizong as a dowry for marrying the princess of the Tang Dynasty.

Tang Taizong knew that nomads were generally controlled by concubines, and the son of the Tang princess became a khan, which was the grandson of the Tang Empire, and most of the grandsons would be close to their mother's maiden family.

Therefore, he has always been unsparing in marrying a princess, and this time, although there is a reason for it, he still intends to fulfill the agreement. He Li was familiar with Xue Yantuo's internal affairs, and he gave Tang Taizong an idea,

"There is a personal welcome, let Yi Nan come to Beijing to marry the princess. Or go to Lingwu (now southwest of Lingwu, Ningxia), Yi Nan is afraid of the Tang Dynasty,

He will not dare to come in person, but he will not come. This marriage can't be done, depressed, and definitely won't live long, his two sons are not good masters, and the two sons can't avoid fighting for the country. When the time comes, internal and external troubles,

The Tang Dynasty can sit and collect the benefits of the fisherman", Tang Taizong acted according to the plan, Yi Nan really did not dare to come to greet his relatives, Zhenguan nineteen years (645 AD), he died depressed. A qiē as Che Qi He Li expected,

Xue Yantuo's civil strife broke out, cannibalism, and the Tang Dynasty took the opportunity to send troops to fight, with lightning speed. Destroyed Xue Yantuo.

In the nineteenth year of Zhenguan (645 AD), Tang Taizong ignored the opposition of Chu Suiliang and others and personally conquered Goryeo. When the Tang army reached Baiyan City (now the north bank of the East Taizi River in Liaoyang, Liaoyang),

More than 10,000 Goryeo troops from Wugucheng (now southeast of Fengcheng, Liaoning) rushed to reinforce them, and Qibi He Li led 800 cavalry to block the attack and fell into the siege of the Goryeo army.

He Li was stabbed in the waist by the spear of the Goryeo army, and his injuries were severe, but thanks to the desperate rescue of his subordinate general Xue Wanbei (Xue Wanjun's younger brother), he was able to get out of danger.

He Li had never suffered such a defeat, and he was furious. He bandaged it briefly, and then led the army into battle, beheading more than 1,000 people and pursuing for dozens of miles. The fight made the Goryeo army hug their heads and scurry. Tang Taizong was very concerned about Qi Bi He Li's injury, and personally dressed him and carefully cleaned the wound.

The expression xiàn sincere friendship between the monarch and the minister. After the siege of Baiyan City, Tang Taizong found out that the Korean who stabbed Qibi He Li was named Gao Tubo, so he handed Gao Tubo over to Qibi He Li. Let the Covenant He force the enemy,

Unexpectedly, Qi Bi did not care about the revenge of a spear, but released Gao Tubo, he said, "The two countries are fighting each other, each is its master, Gao Tubo sacrificed his life to assassinate me among thousands of troops, he is really a righteous man, and he has no selfish grudges, why kill him."

In the twenty-second year of Zhenguan (648 AD), Tang Taizong sent troops to destroy Qiuci (now Kucha, Xinjiang) in the Western Regions in order to open up the trade routes of the Western Regions.

The king of Qiuzi, Khali Bu, lost his attachment to the Western Turks and repeatedly opposed the Tang Dynasty, and Tang Taizong appointed Ashina Sheer as the chief of the Kunqiu Road march.

He Li was the deputy chief of the army, leading more than 100,000 cavalry from the thirteen states of Tiele, Turkic, Tubo and Tuyuhun.

The wind is galloping, and it is heading towards Qiuzi. The Tang army first defeated the Western Turks Chuyue and Chumi, clearing the obstacles.

Eliminate the flank threat in the march, and then, west of Yanqi (now southwest of Yanqi, Xinjiang), the troops divided into five routes and attacked the northern border of Qiuci. The Tang army triumphed all the way and successively broke through five large cities of Qiuzi.

A total of more than 700 small cities, captured tens of thousands of men and women, and opened up the southern road traffic artery from the Tang Dynasty to the Western Regions

The Tang Dynasty expanded its borders to present-day Central Asia, setting up four military towns of Qiuci, Yanqi, Shule, and Khotan, and controlling the vast area of the Western Mountains. Western Regions Earthquake,

The Western Turks, Khotan, and Anguo were afraid, and they competed to reward the Tang division, sending camels, horses and military rations, and the Tang army was famous in this battle, and the reputation of the Tang Dynasty Khan spread in all directions.

In May of the twenty-third year of Zhenguan (649 AD), Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, died, and the whole country mourned, and hundreds of ethnic minority leaders lost their relatives.

Some cut their faces with knives, others cut off their ears with knives, and blood flowed all over the ground. Songtsen Gampo, the son-in-law of the Tang Dynasty, also sent a letter of state to the new emperor, "The first emperor died, the new son of heaven was established, and the courtiers were disloyal, and I will lead my troops to the difficulty."

In accordance with the ancient Turkic customs, Qibi He Li and Ashina Sheer asked to be killed to be martyred and guard the mausoleum, and Tang Gaozong explained to them the will of the first emperor and did not allow them to be buried, so the two gave up.

In the second year of Yonghui (651 AD), the Western Turkic Ashina Helu rebelled against the Tang Dynasty with the five surnames of Chuyue, Chumi, Gusu, Gelulu, and Beishi, and called himself Shabaluo Khan, with hundreds of thousands of troops, and invaded Tingzhou (now Jimusar Beibochengzi, Xinjiang).

Captured Jinling City and Pu County (now Laoqitai, southeast of Qitai, Xinjiang), and plundered thousands of people. Tang Gaozong appointed He Li as the chief governor of Gongyue Dao, and levied 30,000 soldiers from Qin, Cheng, Qi, and Yongfu and 50,000 cavalry from Hui to defeat the Western Turks.

In order to respond to Sha Boluo, Zhu Xie, the chief of the Yue Division, desperately killed Tang Zhao's consolation envoy and Guo Yi's lieutenant Shan Daohui,

According to the guard mountain (now Xinjiang Aze Bogduo Mountain), Qibi He Li soldiers divided into several roads, over the mountains and mountains, combined attack on the Yue army, the Yue army was defeated, Zhu Xie desperately fled, the Tang army chased closely, and chased out 500 miles,

After capturing Zhu Xie Guzhi, the Tang army killed 9,000 people, captured 60 Qu Shuai, captured 70,000 cattle, horses and miscellaneous animals, and returned from Mi Shijian and Hezhihe. In the second year of Xianqing (657 AD),

The Tang Dynasty Xiongshi attacked Shabaluo Khan, and the Western Turks were wiped out since then.

In the first year of Longshuo (661 AD), Tang Gaozong sealed He Li as the chief of the Liaodong Provincial Marching Army, and cooperated with other troops to advance by land and water to conquer Goryeo.

Quangai Suwen sent his son, Quannan, to lead tens of thousands of elite Goryeo soldiers to guard the Yalu River (present-day Yalu River), but the armies were unable to pass Guò.

When the troops of Qibi He Li arrived, it was freezing and a thick layer of ice was formed on the river.

Unstoppable, the Goryeo army was crushed and fled in all directions, the Tang army beheaded 30,000 people, the rest all surrendered, and the spring boy escaped alone, and the wolf was unbearable. Just as he is ready to take advantage of the victory,

Tongluo, servant bones and other nine surnames rebelled against Tang Koubian, there were priorities, Tang Gaozong ordered the class teacher, and Qi Bi He Li led the army back to China.

In the second year of Longshuo (662 AD), Xue Rengui, the general of Zuo Wuwei, killed more than 100,000 people surnamed Tiele in the Tianshan Mountain (that is, Yudu Junshan) and captured three Ye Hu brothers.

The Tang army burned, killed and looted, the Tiele people fled far away, and the Tang army could not find the Tiele tribes, and the progress was very unsmooth. When Zheng Rentai's elite cavalry crossed the desert, there were 14,000 people, because the food was not continuous, and it was large

Seeing that the conquest had been frustrated, Tang Gaozong changed his strategy and let the prestige of Qibi He Li serve as the pacification envoy of Tiele Dao and go to pacify the Tiele tribes.

He Li knew that the rebellion of the Tiele tribe against Tang must have been provoked by the head, and he only led 500 cavalry to meet with the nine surnames of Tiele. He told the people of Sù Tiele,

"The country knows that you have been mistaken by traitors, so you have rebelled, and now as long as you repent and reform, the court will not blame the past", Tiele Jiu surnamed learned that the court had a sense of forgiveness, and they were all happy,

They worked together to capture more than 200 officials and send them to Qibi He Li. After enumerating their crimes,

The two hundred people were all beheaded, and the nine surnames of Tiele were determined from then on. He Li also buried the Tang soldiers who died on the road and did a lot of bereavement work. (To be continued.) )
