Chapter 322 [Tang General 29]

At this time, Hun Xuan, who was the general of the Praetorian Guard, had already come to Tang Dezong's side, he was prestigious, and the people's hearts quickly settled down, and everyone held on to the city, waiting for the arrival of the army of the king from all walks of life.

Originally, according to Hun Xuan's meaning, the reinforcements should take the road north of Qianling, but Lu Qi persuaded the emperor that the Mogu Road was close to the tomb of the former emperor, and asked the reinforcements to take the Mogu Road.

As Hun Yang expected, the rebels took advantage of the terrain and defeated the reinforcements of the four routes with crossbows and boulders, and the reinforcements had to retreat temporarily, and Zhu Zhu's army besieged Fengtian City for more than a month, and the food in the city was exhausted.

Even the emperor only had two pieces of coarse rice a day, and the situation was becoming more and more critical, and the rebels were building huge ladders outside the city day and night, trying to put the Tang army defending the city to death.

The ladder is nine zhang high, the bottom is equipped with a huge wheel, the outside is wrapped in wet cow leather soaked in water, the surrounding is hung with water bladders, and the ladder can be loaded with 500 soldiers.

Once used in siege warfare, the survival of Mukden City is unknown. Hun Xuan has been in battle for a long time and is proficient in the art of war, he explained to Tang Dezong the countermeasures,

The ladder is large and heavy, and it is easy to trap, as long as the tunnel is dug in the direction of the rebel attack, and the tunnel is full of firewood, anointing oil, and pine resin, you can break this enemy offensive.

The Tang army was prepared according to Hun Xuan's requirements and was ready for battle. On November 15, the north wind was howling, and the rebels' ladder carts began to attack the city, and the soldiers in the ladder carts were raining arrows, and the Tang troops defending the city suffered heavy casualties.

The ladder car is equipped with a cart assist, the thieves are ambitious to carry the soil, fill the trenches, the arrows and stones, the torch can not withstand the thieves at this time, the rebels have a lot of thieves on the ladder have climbed the tower, the last moment has come.

Tang Dezong took out more than 1,000 empty hundred letters of appointment and handed them to Hun Ying, so that Hun Ying recruited dead soldiers to defend against the enemy, and authorized Hun Ying to fill in arbitrarily according to the size of the merit.

In fact, Tang Dezong knew in his heart that Hun Xuan's battle this time might be goodbye. The emperor burst into tears, and Hun Ying couldn't cry, they didn't know if they could survive this day.

The soldiers of the Tang army defending the city were hungry and cold. Lacking armor and weapons, while the rebels are strong and strong,

The Tang army, inspired by Hun Xuan, fought to the death and did not retreat. The belief that underpins them is the word loyalty. Hun Xuan was in the middle of the arrow, and pulled it out casually,

The Tang army present was deeply moved, and the Tang army was united and determined like steel.

Finally moved to heaven, the rebels' ladder cart sank into the dug tunnel, and the fire oil ignited and burned downwind.

The Tang army in the city took the opportunity to drop reeds and torches, and the ladder car was shrouded in fireballs, which turned into ashes in an instant, and thousands of siege thieves had no time to escape.

were all burned alive, the morale of the Tang army was greatly boosted, and they attacked from three sides, and the crown prince Li Yu personally supervised the battle, relying on the loyalty and courage of the soldiers, and finally repelled the thieves.

Zhu Jun was unwilling. In the middle of the night, they made a comeback, and the thieves were raining arrows, and some of them had already shot within three steps of Tang Dezong, and the emperor was shocked. Hun Ying was calm and calm, and led the Tang army to hold the city, and there was no danger this night. Fate finally showed a rare smile to Tang Dezong,

Li Huaiguang's Shuofang army traveled day and night to rescue the Tang Emperor, and Zhang Shao was sent to Fengtian. Sent a message to Tang Dezong.

Zhang Shao carried a wax book and disguised himself as a refugee, and when he arrived in Fengtian City, he was treated as a common man by Zhu Zhu's rebels and driven to the edge of the city to fill in the trenches dug by the Tang army.

Zhang Shao ran to the city and shouted, "I am the envoy of the Shuofang army", and the Tang army in the city hurriedly pulled him up the city wall.

Zhang Shao was hit by dozens of arrows in his body, and he died nine times in his life, and finally let Tang Dezong see Li Huaiguang's letter. Tang Dezong couldn't help but be overjoyed, and let people carry Zhang Shao around the city.

Announcing the arrival of the Shuofang army to the army and the people, there was a thunderous cheer in Mukden City, and hope drove away despair. Shuofang's army has always been the regular army of the imperial court, with extremely strong combat effectiveness, and the army rushed to defeat the Zhuzhu rebels at Liquan (now north of Liquan, Shaanxi).

Zhu Jun couldn't resist it, so he could only give up Fengtian and return to Chang'an. If the Shuofang army came three days late, Fengtian City would fall, and Li Huaiguang saved the Tang Emperor from a catastrophe.

It is no wonder that many years later, Tang Dezong still remembered his benefits and paid for Li Huaiguang's widow, so that Li Huaiguang's nephew could inherit Li Huaiguang's surname and inherit Li Huaiguang's bloodline.

The siege was removed, the monarchs and ministers relieved their breath, and the tributes from all walks of life were endless, and Tang Dezong sealed Hun Xuan as the soldier and horse envoy in the capital, and the food was sealed 500 households.

Hun Yang's two sons had been awarded official positions before this to thank Hun Yang for forgetting his life and death in the difficulty of Fengtian, Tang Dezong had a conscience, but his character flaws repeatedly led to the turbulent career of his emperor,

A wave has not settled, and a wave has risen, just as Jia Yinlin's admonition, "Your Majesty is too impatient to tolerate things, if you don't change it, even if Zhu Zhu is defeated, other disasters will follow",

The matter was unfortunately said by Jia Yinlin, and soon, Tang Dezong made the old mistake again and forced Li Huaiguang, who had made meritorious contributions.

Li Huaiguang was born as a military general and had a rough temperament, he went thousands of miles to the difficulty, but he couldn't even see the emperor's face, and the emperor directly ordered Li Huaiguang to cooperate with other troops to capture Chang'an.

Li Huaiguang was angry, he thought that he was excluded by the traitorous ministers, he stationed the army in Xianyang, and constantly wrote to the emperor to give an explanation, Tang Dezong in order to calm his grievances, demoted Lu Qi and others to Yuanzhou Sima,

and killed the eunuch Zhai Wenxiu, whom he had always trusted, hoping to exchange for Li Huaiguang's cooperation. In order to unite the majority against the minority,

Tang Dezong specially sent people to pardon Tian Yue, Wang Wujun, and Li Na, the three leaders of the feudal towns, and the feudal towns were overjoyed and hurriedly swore allegiance to the imperial court, and the two sides pressed the previous grievances and formed a "united front".

In the first year of Xingyuan (784 AD), after Li Huaiguang forced away the traitor Lu Qi, he was also uneasy, he did not enter Xianyang (now Xianyang East, Shaanxi), secretly colluded with Zhu Zhu, rebelled against the imperial court, Tang Dezong learned the news, under the protection of Hun Xuan,

Fleeing to Liangzhou (now Hanzhong, Shaanxi), Tang Dezong granted Hun Yang great rights according to the story of Han Xin's worship of the generals, and Hun Yang worked hard as the deputy marshal of the camp to supervise the army to quell the rebellion.

According to the rebel army in Wugong (now northwest of Wugong, Shaanxi), Hun Yang led the army to attack, beheaded 10,000 ranks, and stationed in Mukden, where he fought in coordination with Li Sheng's Shence army.

Soon took Xianyang, before that. Li Huaiguang was worried about his subordinates and turned to the court, and he was afraid of the officials and soldiers outside.

He led the Shuofang army to flee back to Hezhong (now Yongji, Shanxi), and plundered the people along the way. May. Li Sheng led the Tang army to recover Chang'an, Zhu Zhu and his more than 10,000 rebels fled for their lives, and the Tang army surrounded and intercepted them.

In Xiyutun, Pengyuan, Jingzhou (present-day Zhenyuandong, Gansu), Zhu Zhu was killed by his generals. It drew an end to the Jingyuan Mutiny in the Tang Dynasty. Tang Dezong died nine times in his life, and finally returned to Chang'an, looking back on the past,

He was very grateful to the loyal Hun Ying, and he promoted Hun Ying to the rank of servant, canonized the king of Xianning County, sealed 800 households, and gave a mansion in Daning, which was equal to Li Sheng and enjoyed the same glory.

On the issue of how to deal with Li Huaiguang. Through many discussions, the court reached a unanimous opinion. Hun Yang served as the deputy marshal of Shuofang's camp, and together with Ma Sui,

Crusade against Li Huaiguang, in a short time, the river was pacified, Li Huaiguang betrayed his relatives and left, committed suicide in despair, Hun Ying was promoted to the school inspector again, and a son was awarded the fifth grade official. The Holy Grace is strong.

Hun Ying has since left the town in the river, and Datang has gained a rare stable situation. Li Xilie, who proclaimed himself Emperor of Chu, was defeated in a series of battles, and after fleeing back to Caizhou, he was killed by his generals.

"The forest is dark and the grass is frightened. The general draws the bow at night. Pingming is looking for white feathers, not in the stone ridge", the famous poet Lu Lun of the Tang Dynasty has served in Hun Ying's shogunate for a long time, and witnessed Hun Ying's heroic deeds.

Inspired by feelings, I wrote a lot of famous articles praising Hun Ying. Unique in the poems of the Tang Dynasty,

It is precisely because of Lu Lun's rendering that later generations have a distinct impression of the high-spirited generals of the Tang Dynasty, and have a direct understanding of Hun Ying's martial arts and archery. At the time,

Hun Yang is always compared with Jin Riyan of the Han Dynasty, he is loyal, abide by the ethics of the Han family, Rao is Tang Dezong has always been suspicious of the hero, he also looks at him differently, trusts, as the history books say,

After Zhenyuan, Tang Dezong was often afraid of troubles in the town, and often tolerated and raised traitors, but he was "not all right" to Hun Xuan's recital, and Hun Yang was complacent about it, because this showed that the emperor had no suspicion of him. Hun Ying has been in the river for 16 years, "guessing can not enter", becoming a model of monarchs and ministers in history.

It was praised by posterity.

In the second year of Zhenyuan (786 AD), Tubo Koubian was repeatedly frustrated by the famous general Li Sheng, and Tubo Shang praised his opponent and said, "The famous generals of the Tang Dynasty are only Li Sheng, Ma Sui, and Hun Xuan.

If we don't get rid of them, we will be in great trouble." Shang Jiezan designed a Hongmen banquet to let the famous generals of the Tang Dynasty fall into his trap.

Tubo repeatedly asked for an alliance with the Tang Dynasty, and returned Yan (now north of Yanchi County, Ningxia) and Xia (now west of Hengshan County, Shaanxi Province) to express his sincerity.

In the third year of Zhenyuan Dynasty (787 AD), the Tang Dynasty was allied with Pingliang (now Pingliang City, Gansu Province). At the request of Shang Jiezan, Hun Ying and others entered the curtain to change their dresses. Suddenly, the drums sounded, and tens of thousands of Tibetan ambush soldiers swarmed up.

Grab a war horse without stirrups and break out. Hun Ying's martial arts were outstanding, and the Tang army responded, and he was spared, and the other self-deputy envoys Cui Hanheng and below all fell into the hands of the Tubo people, and they robbed the alliance in Pingliang.

The Tang army lost 500 killed in battle, captured more than 1,000 people, and suffered heavy losses. After returning to the court, Hun Yang asked Tang Dezong for his guilt, Tang Dezong did not blame him at all, and still let him lead troops to resist the invasion of Tubo, Hun Yang lived up to his expectations.

A great wall of steel was built for the Tang Dynasty, and Tubo could only sigh with admiration, and his dream of getting involved in the Central Plains came to naught.

In the ninth year of Zhenyuan (793 AD), Hun Yang was ordered to rebuild the city of Yanzhou, which was destroyed by the Tubo army, and he did his best, leading 6,000 people, and the city was built in two decades.

Tang Dezong praised him very much and regarded him as a model for his courtiers. Hun Yang worked hard for many years, protected the territory and the people, and finally rose to the inspection of Situ and Zhongshu Ling, in the fifteenth year of Zhenyuan, he died of illness at the age of sixty-four.

When Tang Dezong learned the bad news, he was extremely sad, and posthumously presented Hun Yang as the Taishi, nicknamed Zhongwu, and cried for him to abolish the dynasty twice. Aiwu and Wu, Hun Ying's two sons also became high-ranking officials because of their father's shadow.

Confucius said in the "Spring and Autumn Period", "If Yidi enters China, then China will be Chinese, and if China enters Yidi, then Yidi will be Yidi", that is to say, Yidi and Huaxia do not lie in blood, but in culture,

This is the true portrayal of Hun Ying. He was born in the Tang Dynasty, grew up in the Tang Dynasty, loved Chinese culture, liked to read "Spring and Autumn" and "Han Shu", and at the moment of life and death when the building was about to fall, he threw his head and spilled blood for the Tang Dynasty.

He loyally guarded the peace of Datang, guarded the grandeur and splendor of Datang, and to this day, we can still feel his integrity and bravery.

"At that time, Mrs. Jie came to fight, and you had to propose marriage when you met there. Ben Shuai repeatedly refused to allow it, and madam, you made a clever plan again. set up a mountain and sea array, and hoisted Ben Shuai to the point of storage in mid-air. At that time, my name was heaven, the sky should not be high, and the handsome man wanted to enter the ground, and the earth was thick and there was no door. I had no choice but to agree,

accepted the lady into the Tang camp", many people will understand this singing paragraph as soon as they hear it, it is the famous Xue Dingshan and Fan Lihua in the opera, the story about the two can be described as long, what "Fan Jiangguan" and "Horse Yuan", all tell the story of the little white-faced Xue Dingshan who fell in love at first sight by the female general of the enemy camp,

The later "Xue Gang Against the Tang Dynasty" evolved into the story of Wu Zetian killing Xue Dingshan, Fan Lihua and Xue Gang's mother and son avenging their relatives and recovering the Tang Dynasty.

The plot of three abandonments and three invitations cannot find any basis in the official history. Xue Rengui, a famous general of the Tang Dynasty, does have a son who is no less than his father.

He is Xue Ne, who is "strong and strong in the face of the great enemy". Not only was he not killed by Wu Zetian, but Wu Zetian promoted him to reuse him and guarded the border for decades. He has a younger brother named Xue Chuyu,

Kaiyuan years once served as the Fan Yang Festival envoy, gave birth to a son Xue Song, "heroic, unwilling to make profits", after the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion, actually joined the rebels, became a rebellious minister and thief, the Tang army drove Heshuo,

Xue Song was timely and anyway, becoming a party festival envoy, he was law-abiding, outstanding in politics, and was buried as a Taibao after his death, which is a little similar to "Xue Gang's Anti-Tang" in the opera.

The famous Tang Dynasty legend "Red Line Thief Box" is about the strange people around Xue Song's red line, this beauty is good at flying eaves and walking on the wall, stealing the treasure box of Wei Bojiedu envoy Tian Chenghei late at night,

The old treacherous and slippery first generation was frightened and temporarily gave up the idea of annexing Luzhou. In various operas, the sky of the Tang Dynasty is supported by the Xue family, and the Xue family is the white jade pillar of the Tang Dynasty and the purple gold beam across the sea.

Although this kind of rhetoric is really exaggerated in the official history, it is an indisputable fact that the father and son of the Xue family protect the territory and the people, and their military achievements are impressive.

is talking about Xue Rengui, "In the past Great Wall battle, salty words were high-spirited", and it was Xue Rengui's son Xue Ne.

Xue Ne (649 A.D. - 720 A.D.), the word Shenyan, a native of Wanquan (now Wanquan County, Shanxi), his father Xue Rengui was a famous general of the Tang Dynasty.

After his death, he gave Zuo Xiaowei the general, the governor of Youzhou, Lao Tzu's hero and hero, Xue Ne, as a disciple of the general, has the style of a father, is brave and silent, showing an unusual courage and bearing. (To be continued.) )
