"One body fought three thousand miles, and one sword once served as a million divisions", this is not surprising for a general, what is rare is the belief that a soldier is invincible, he is a tiger in front of a strong enemy, he is by no means a jackal in front of a weak person, mercy and bravery are so harmoniously unified in his body.

He will not kill and surrender to the enemy for the sake of looting property, he will not deceive people to surrender for the sake of his own merits, justice is accompanied by reason, emotion is accompanied by conscience, just like the words of a foreign priest,

"When we fight back, let's not become the devil we hate", guard our own principles and overcome human weaknesses, this is the real Su Dingfang in history, it is precisely because of such a character that Datang has become Datang, and Datang has become a place that everyone in the world yearns for.

Wang Zhonghei

"The wind blows and frosts, the seaweed withers, and the muscles are dry and strong. 300,000 soldiers of the Han family, general and leader Huo Biyao", he is a meritorious general, he is a famous family from a prominent family, he is the proud son of the Tang Dynasty, he is the most perfect man in the world, Wang Zhonghei, he is the personality of the Tang Dynasty, he is the model of the Tang Dynasty, and he is the most gorgeous youth of the Tang Dynasty.

Xue Yuanchao, who married the county lord, once admitted that one of the biggest regrets in his life was that he did not marry a woman from a family with five surnames, including the Taiyuan Wang family. In the Tang Dynasty,

Marrying a daughter with five surnames, just like today a man marries the daughter of the world's ship king, will win the envy of the whole world, which is a sign of a man's promotion to high society, and Wang Zhonghei was born in Taiyuan Wang, in the Tang society that pays attention to the disciples of the county, Taiyuan Wang is a genuine first-class high school.

But Wang Zhongsi was able to stand out at the age of eighteen, mainly because of the tragic sacrifice of his father Wang Haibin in the battle against Tibet, in the second year of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, the Tang army broke the Tubo army and beheaded 17,000 people.

75,000 horses, 140,000 cattle and sheep were captured, and Wang Haibin, as the envoy of Feng'an, was jealous of his merits and refused to help him in time because he was alone. In the end, they were outnumbered and died heroically. Tang Xuanzong "heard it and took pity on it" and posthumously presented General Zuo Jinwu.

Nine-year-old Wang Xun was given the name Wang Zhonghei by Tang Xuanzong, worshiped Dr. Chaosan and Shang Yuan, and raised in the palace. Get the best education with the princes. Tang Xuanzong is a chicken, and he has always liked handsome characters.

When he saw Wang Zhonghe, he said, "This child has the appearance of a champion marquis", predicting that Wang Zhonghei will definitely have a future when he grows up. Although the history books do not detail Wang Zhonghe's physiognomy, judging from Tang Xuanzong's appearance,

Wang Zhonghei must be a tall and heroic man when he becomes an adult, not only did Tang Xuanzong not hide his love (later let him concurrently serve as the envoy of the Four Towns Festival was an unprecedented thing in the history of the Tang Dynasty), but Li Heng, who later became Tang Suzong, also had a very good personal relationship with him.

After the crown prince Li Ying was executed by Tang Xuanzong, the eldest son of Tang Xuanzong did not get the title of crown prince, because the eldest son of the emperor scratched his face when he was hunting, and his appearance was damaged, so the title of the crown prince fell to the head of the third son Li Heng.

Wang Zhongsi has such a wealth of contacts in the palace. Coupled with his own heroism, modesty and prudence, and proficient in martial arts, the future is naturally limitless, the eighteen-year-old Wang Zhongsi joined the army, and what awaits him is a bright future.

In the past, when he was in the palace, Tang Xuanzong had tested his art of war, and Wang Zhonghei "responded to the vertical and horizontal, all of them were unexpected", and Tang Xuanzong said happily, "In the future, he must be a brave and warlike general." In fact, as Tang Xuanzong expected, Wang Zhongsi rose step by step with his military exploits until he became the first general of the Tang Dynasty.

In the eighteenth year of Kaiyuan (730 AD), Wang Zhongsi was appointed as a soldier and horse envoy. He participated in the first fierce battle of his military career, and when he detected that Tubo Zampu was reviewing the army in Yuchuan, he led 300 elite cavalry alone to launch a surprise attack in the night, beheading thousands of people and capturing more than 4,000 people. Tens of thousands of cattle and sheep were seized, and Tubo Zampu fled for his life in a hurry. In the twenty-sixth year of Kaiyuan (738 AD), Du Du, the governor of Shanzhou, hoped to attack the new city, and someone recommended Wang Zhonghei to him.

Thinking that someone else can't succeed. Du hoped to play Tang Xuanzong and transfer Wang Zhonghei to Hexi. Xincheng was quickly captured, and the Tang Dynasty left a garrison in the area, and quickly captured the Yellow River Bridge, and built the Salt Spring City on the banks of the Yellow River.

The Tibetans launched a counterattack, the 30,000-strong army was menacing, and the Tang army in Yanquan City was small and the situation was very critical.

The vicissitudes of the sea, Fang shows the true character of the hero, Wang Zhongsi takes the lead,

Invincible, hundreds of enemies were killed in a blink of an eye, the Tubo army collapsed, and the Tang army was unstoppable and won a complete victory. After the war, Wang Zhongsi was promoted to the general of Zuo Jin Wuwei and the regular member, because of the increasing military merits.

He was then promoted to the envoy of the Hedong Festival and the Shuofang Festival, and the cultural and martial arts of the Tang Dynasty also reached the peak of its heyday. In the twenty-sixth year of Kaiyuan (738 AD), Wang Zhongsi led 100,000 Tang heroes to attack the Xi and Khitan coalition forces in the north, and the two sides launched a decisive battle at the Sangqian River.

The Xi and Khitan coalition forces were defeated, the whole army was annihilated, and the Khitan Khan was killed by his own people who were cornered.

The 36th Khitan Department was forced to surrender to the Tang Army, and Wang Zhonghei "captured the people, Yaowu Mobei, and the high will spin", and since then, the fierce Khitan people have been honest for decades.

Wang Zhonghei governed the army well, and the battle was victorious. He built many military castles along the border, which greatly consolidated the border defense of the Tang Dynasty.

He is proficient in the art of war, and appoints spies to lurk and spy on the enemy, so that he knows himself and his opponent, and is invincible in a hundred battles. He trained his soldiers,

Let them engrave their respective names on each feather arrow, which greatly reduced the waste of weapons, developed the habit of cherishing weapons among the soldiers, and kept the ordnance of the Tang army in good condition.

He is good at cultivating and promoting talents, and Tang poems have clouds: "The Big Dipper is high, and Geshu carries a knife at night." So far, I have peeped at the herding horses, and I dare not go over Lintao",

Ge Shuhan, who is praised in the poem, is the general he promoted, and another brave general he valued, Li Guangbi, later became famous in history for quelling the "Anshi Rebellion", and Guo Ziyi and Li Sheng were the heroes and fathers of the rebuilding of the Tang Dynasty.

Due to the long-term battle with the Tibetans, he was clearly aware of the threat of the Tibetan cavalry, and was determined to gather all the good horses in the world into the military camp of the Tang Dynasty. In the border trade, he deliberately overestimated the price of horses and purchased them heavily, attracting Hu people from all over the country to sell good horses to the Tang army.

After the strict training of the Tang army, the combat effectiveness of the Tang cavalry was greatly improved, and the Tang Xiongshi was therefore invincible in the world. The first year of Tianbao (742 AD). The Battle of Qinghai Lake, which fought against Tibet, began.

Since the land of Jiuqu in Hexi was ceded to Tibet as Tang Muyi, the princess of Jincheng, the Hexi and Longyou regions were under the strict threat of Tibet, and several battles commanded by Wang Zhongsi destroyed all the fortresses of Tubo on the border of Qinghai and Gansu.

The deterrence of Tubo against the Hexi and Longyou regions was basically lifted. The number of Tibetan casualties reached tens of thousands. Several princes died on the battlefield, and all the 8,000 Tuyuhun troops from Tubo surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, and Tubo was greatly injured and forced to take a defensive position.

Wang Zhongsi kept running non-stop, galloping thousands of miles. Assisted Xiao Bolu to repel the combined forces of Tubo and Dashi, and the Tang Dynasty Khan was powerful in all directions, and the four seas were feared.

In the first year of Tianbao (742 AD), the Later Turkic Usumish Khan ascended the throne, and Tang Xuanzong asked for Usumi

Shi Khan attached to the Tang Dynasty, Usumish refused to agree, Wang Zhonghei Chen Bing Momi, causing great psychological pressure to the Later Turks, Usumi Shi was afraid and asked to surrender,

But it was not delayed. Wang Zhonghei is in his chest. Calmly arranged, his battle plan is recorded in "Pingrong Eighteen Strategies".

The three tribes of Ba Ximi, Qarluq, and Hui united with the Tang army to attack the Later Turks, who were outnumbered and soon defeated, and the Tang army "took its right flank and returned", and the Later Turkic Khanate attached more than 1,000 accounts to the Tang Dynasty. In the second year of Tianbao (743 AD), Wang Zhonghei broke the Turkic army again, "since he was outside the fortress, he did not dare to enter".

In the third year of Tianbao (744 AD). After the Turkic nine surnames Ba Ximi attacked the Turks, they killed the Usumish Khan and passed on the head of the Beijing division.

Later, the Turks established the younger brother of Usumish Khan, Baimeitler, as the Khan, known as the Baimei Khan. In order to solve the northern border troubles once and for all. According to the will of Tang Xuanzong, after Wang Zhonghe's Northern Expedition, the Turks, and tens of thousands of Hui troops also cooperated with the Tang army to attack on both sides.

The Tang army broke eleven divisions including the Turkic Apodagan in the mountains of Sakawai, and the Turkic Khanate was destroyed by the Tang army and crumbling.

The fourth year of Tianbao (745 AD).

Before that, Hui and Qarlu joined forces to kill the Ishish Khan of Ba Xi Mijie and fell to Ish, and the Later Turkic Khanate perished, which has since become a term in history, and the power of the Hui has risen and gradually become the new master of the northern land.

In this year, due to his outstanding military achievements, Wang Zhonghei entered the Qingyuan County Prince, and climbed to the peak of the Tang Dynasty's men's dreams. For more than 40 years after Zhang Rengan, the loyal heir followed,

The people of Beisai, the resumption of the war", Wang Zhonghei "Pei four generals, control zhì thousands of miles, strong soldiers, all under control, since the beginning of the country, there is no more",

The emperor's favor has also reached its peak, and he has been crowned Doctor Jin Ziguanglu, and even one of Wang Zhonghe's sons has been awarded the Fifth Rank Official, but Wang Zhongsi is still cautious, full of a calm atmosphere in the world, and there is no such villain's face.

In this case, with Wang Zhonghe's ability to win and conquer, with the father-son relationship that he and Tang Xuanzong cultivated in the palace, as long as he obeyed Tang Xuanzong's desire to expand his territory, wealth was almost as solid as a rock for him.

But Wang Zhongsi was silent, he had the same feelings and mood as the poet Du Fu at that time, "The border court bleed into the sea, and Emperor Wu had no intention of opening the border."

You don't know about the Han family, Shandong 200 states, thousands of villages and thousands of villages. Even if there is a healthy woman to hoe and plow, He Shenglongmu has nothing to do", when he was young, he was brave and conceited, often rode out of the plug, and faced the enemy alone, and the emperor was afraid that he would die.

He was also recalled to the capital, and now he has become the envoy of Hexi, Longyou, Shuofang, and Hedong Jiedu with heavy troops, and he has "taken the important security of the border as his business", focusing on the overall situation of the country everywhere, and no longer starting the war lightly.

However, at present, the interests are present, but it is difficult for the border court to have a few days of peace, and Tubo has repeatedly fought fierce battles with the Tang army in Qinghai and Jishi, and the Tang army has won every battle, and Tubo has no opportunity to take advantage of it. Under the leadership of Wang Zhongsi, the Tang army crusaded against Tugu Hun in Moli, "capturing the whole country and returning", and the Tang Empire was like the noon sun at this time, shining brightly.

In order to seize the initiative in the war against Tibet, Tang Xuanzong hoped that Wang Zhongsi could capture the stone fort city that the Tang army had gained and lost, but Wang Zhongsi's answer was beyond his expectations, "The stone fort city was operated by the Tang army for many years, and the city was well defended and the Tubo was heavily guarded.

To capture Shibao City, it is necessary to sacrifice the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers, for the Tang Dynasty, the gains outweigh the losses, it is better to act at the opportunity, and wait for the enemy to show flaws before acting", Tang Xuanzong has always been very happy, and he was quite dissatisfied with Wang Zhonghe's statement.

In the sixth year of Tianbao, Dong Yanguang offered advice to the imperial court and volunteered to fight Shibao City, Tang Xuanzong ordered Wang Zhongsi to divide his troops to respond, and Wang Zhongsi was vain in his promise, which made Dong Yanguang very unhappy.

The Hexi soldiers and horses made Li Guangbi's eyes like torches, and he hurriedly persuaded Wang Zhonghe, "The doctor has always put soldiers first, although he was forced to divide his troops to Dong Yanguang under the emperor's edict, but he did not set a heavy reward, how could the soldiers try their best to attack the city."

The emperor is determined to win Shibao City, if Dong Yanguang's action fails, he will definitely blame the doctor, the doctor's treasury is full, why should he spare tens of thousands of horses and silks and not block Dong Yanguang's mouth."

Wang Zhongsi replied calmly, "The Tang army used tens of thousands of soldiers to exchange for a stone fortress city, and getting it was not enough to subdue the enemy, and losing it was not enough to endanger the country, so I am not willing to take the lives of tens of thousands of people to save my official position, even if I am punished by the emperor,

I will not change my original intention if I am demoted to a petty official in another place", Li Guangbi was deeply moved, and praised his boss for having the style of the ancients, which is beyond his own ability. The battle was as Li Guangbi expected, Dong Yanguang failed to conquer Shibao City,

Reported Wang Zhonghe's frustration to the imperial court, Prime Minister Li Linfu has always been jealous of Wang Zhonghe, because the Tang Dynasty has a meritorious border general into the court as a minister, Li Linfu found an opportunity, of course he refused to let go, he quickly instigated Jiyang not to drive Wei Lin to falsely accuse Wang Zhonghe, saying that when Wang Zhonghei was the envoy of Hedong Jiedu, he threatened,

"I grew up with King Zhong (later Tang Suzong), and I should support him as the crown prince", this sentence hit Tang Xuanzong's heart, before, in order to stabilize his throne, he personally issued an edict to execute his three sons (including the crown prince Li Ying), and also executed his daughter's husband (concubine),

Now that he heard that Wang Zhongsi was so bold, he was furious, and immediately ordered Wang Zhongsi to enter Beijing, "ordering the three divisions to interrogate him", and the result of the interrogation was to prepare for the death penalty.

Wang Zhonghe's official reputation is very good, and the person who rescued him also came to the capital, and this person is Wang Zhongsi's good subordinate Ge Shuhan. (To be continued.) )
