In the eighth year of Tang Gaozu Wude, the Turks went south to Koubian and fought fiercely with Li Daozong in Lingzhou, but failed to get the slightest bargain, and later, the Turks asked the Tang Dynasty for peace.

In the ninth year of Wude (626 AD), the Xuanwumen Incident broke out, the crown prince Li Jiancheng and the king of Qi Li Yuanji were killed by Li Shimin, the king of Qin, and soon after, Tang Gaozu Li Yuan abdicated and became the emperor of Taishang, and Li Shimin became Taizong of Tang.

Tang Taizong has always regarded his cousin as an iron buddy for civil and military all-rounders, so he naturally added officials to the knighthood, and was recruited as Hongluqing, and he was the leader of the left and Dali Qing.

The new emperor was determined to sweep away the Turks, and Li Daozong was awarded the governor of Lingzhou to defend the peace of the Tang Dynasty on the front line. In this year, the Tang army attacked Liang Shidu, which had seized Xiazhou, and there was no support from the Turkic soldiers in the city, so Liang Luoren killed Liang Shidu and surrendered to the Tang army out of the city.

In the third year of Zhenguan, Li Daozong was named the head of the Datong Road march, and together with Li Tao, the head of the march of Tonghan Road, Chai Shao, the head of the march of Jinhe Road, Wei Xiaojie, the head of the march of Heng'an Road, and Xue Wanche, the head of the march of Changwu Road, were controlled by Li Jing, the head of the march of Dingxiangdao, and led more than 100,000 troops to attack the Eastern Turks.

Plunder in war is a common phenomenon because it can greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the army. Li Jing exterminated the Eastern * Turks, and the Tang army also robbed the Turkic treasures.

Li Jing is not pretending to turn a blind eye. Gao Xianzhi's purpose in joining the army is to make great contributions and get a heavy reward, otherwise who will go to the icy plateau to work hard? I think that from the records of historical materials,

He may not be greedy for money and cruel, but he is too utilitarian, bent on destroying the country and opening up the territory, and fails to think about the height of the nation and the country like Wang Zhonghe, of course, this is inseparable from the connivance of Tang Xuanzong.

Li Jing launched a surprise attack, won a complete victory, beheaded more than 10,000 people, captured more than 100,000 Turkic men and women, and Jieli Khan fled to the Shabaoluo tribe in the northwest of Lingzhou, wanting to defect to Tuyuhun. Li Daozong led the Tang army into Shabaluo and forced its chieftain to surrender Jieli Khan, who fled.

Hiding in the barren mountains and mountains, he was captured by the Shabo cavalry. Zhang Baoxiang, the deputy commander of the Datongdao march, led his army to besiege the camp of Shaboluo, and the Shabaluo tribe was forced to surrender, and Jieli Khan was escorted to Chang'an.

Monan was empty, the Eastern Turkic Khanate perished, after which the northern borders were calm for decades. Li Daozong "sealed 600 households with merit and summoned the secretary of the criminal department".

In the fifth year of Zhenguan, the Lingzhou Huxue Department raised troops against the Tang Dynasty. Defeated by Li Daozong. In the eighth year of Zhenguan, Tuyuhun Koubian threatened the smooth flow of the Hexi Corridor, and Li Shimin was determined to solve the Tuyuhun problem once and for all. He appointed Li Jing as the chief of the Xikaidao march, and Hou Junji and Li Daozong as deputies.

He served as the head of the march of Jishi Road and the head of the march of Shanshan Road respectively. In addition, there are also Li Daliang, the head of the march of the last road, Li Daoyan, the head of the Chishui Road march, and Gao Yongsheng, the head of the Shiozawa Road march.

When Tuyuhun heard that the Tang Dynasty soldiers were pressing the border, he took the initiative to retreat to Zhangshan (now the old Ningxia Mansion in Gansu), which was thousands of miles away from the Tang army. The generals discussed and prepared to return to the division, but Li Daozong insisted on pursuing the Tuyuhun army.

got Li Jing's approval. Li Daozong led the partial division day and night, marched for ten days, and finally caught up with the Tuyuhun army at Kushan (now southeast of Qinghai Lake). The Tuyuhun army fought hard and stubbornly resisted, and Li Daozong sent more than 1,000 cavalry to surround it, "the thief was attacked by the enemy on the surface, and he was defeated for a while."

The momentum of the Tang army was like a rainbow, and under the dispatch of Li Jing, they attacked from two directions, Li Jing and Li Daliang from the north road. In Mantou Mountain (now southwest of Qinghai Republic), Niuxindui (now southwest of Xining, Qinghai), and Chishuiyuan (now southeast of Xinghai, Qinghai), the Tuyuhun army was defeated and many Tuyuhun nobles were captured. Li Daozong and Hou Junji traveled 2,000 miles from the south road to a deserted place, crossing the Poluozhen Valley (now southeast of Dulan, Qinghai). Drinking ice and lying in the snow,

Murong Fuyun Khan, who was desperately chasing Tuguhun, finally caught up with Murong Fuyun in Wuhai (now Qinghai Kuhai), and the Tang army captured a large number of people, and Murong Fuyun fled westward in an attempt to defect to Khotan. But he couldn't escape the net laid by the Tang army.

The Tang army chased and fought fiercely, chased to the desert area, there was no water to drink, the soldiers drank horse blood to maintain physical fitness, and soon caught up with Murong Fuyun, beheading thousands of people, Murong Fuyun fled in panic, but there was nowhere to go, and he hanged himself in despair.

Li Daozong led the Tang army on the south road to sing and forge ahead all the way, drove straight in, and successively fought in Xingsuchuan (now Qinghai Xingsuhai), Baihai (now Qinghai Ering Lake and Zhaling Lake), "all big victories", Li Jing led the Tang army on the north road to join the division, and the two sides joined forces in Baihai. Murong Fuyun's son Murong Shun killed the Heavenly Pillar King of Tuyuhun,

raised troops and surrendered, was named the king of Xiping County, Tuyuhun became a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, the northwest border was pacified, and Tuyuhun could no longer afford any big storms. In the eleventh year of Zhenguan, the kings were customized as the history of the world's seals,

Li Daozong, who had both the title, was renamed the king of Jiangxia County and awarded the history of Ezhou Thorn, and only Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County, who enjoyed the same treatment at that time.

In the twelfth year of Zhenguan, Li Daozong moved the Ministry of Rites to Shangshu, and soon, he was imprisoned, Tang Taizong was very angry, but the consequences were not strict, Tang Taizong said to the courtiers, "Daozong is very high, and he has a lot of banquets,

There is enough money in the family, and greed is so that it makes people sigh. The people's hearts are insatiable, but they should be controlled by reason", Li Daozong was removed from his official position, his fiefdom was cut, and he was crowned as the king. Tang Taizong is a man of great affection,

He has always had a temper with his cousin, just like Tang Gaozu and Pei Lian, he is an old friend who feels comfortable when he sees it, although he has to do some superficial things in front of the ministers, but Tang Taizong has always cherished this cousin, and in just one year, Li Daozong has become the governor of Maozhou again, and he has not yet made the trip.

It was named the history of Jinju Thorn, Zhenguan 14 years (640 AD), Li Daozong worshiped as the Ministry of Rites again, and became a big official, Zhenguan 15 years, he was appointed as the ambassador of Princess Wencheng. Historians speculate that Princess Wencheng is Li Daozong's biological daughter, and the author thinks it is unlikely.

Li Daozong is a Tang Dynasty clan and a generation of famous generals, the historical records are very detailed, his son-in-law Wei Zhiwei was born in a famous family, there are also biographies, Li Daozong was later implicated by the love of the house, and his son-in-law Wei Zhiwei was also demoted to Lulongfu Guoyi.

If Princess Wencheng is really the daughter of Li Daozong, as a famous princess in Tang history, her father will inevitably mention it, and the historical materials only vaguely declare that Princess Wencheng is the daughter of the clan, so it can be seen that Li Daozong and Princess Wencheng should not be a father-daughter relationship. The author believes that it may be that Li Daozong is handsome and upright,

The bearing is noble and noble, and it can fully represent the glorious image of the Tang royal family, so it was recognized by Tang Taizong as the best candidate to send relatives, and achieved a peaceful and pro-American affair between Tang and Fan.

Songtsen Gampo personally went to Baihai (now Zhaling Lake and Ngoling Lake) near Heyuan to greet Li Daozong and Princess Wencheng, and paid tribute to Li Daozong as a son-in-law, "and sighed at the beauty of the costumes and etiquette of the great country."

Pitching is ashamed and frustrated", Songtsen Gampo married the princess of the kingdom, and in order to boast of future generations, he built the world-famous Potala Palace. Soon after sending his relatives back to China. The court happened to have an incident in Li

The event expected by Daozong, Marquis Junji of Chen Guogong followed the crown prince Li Chengqian to try to rebel against Shijun, and was executed by Tang Taizong according to law. Back then, Hou Junji destroyed Gao Changguo and was complacent. On the occasion of triumph,

Li Daozong served the banquet and told Tang Taizong bluntly, "Seeing that he has made small achievements, he is deeply cautious, and he is ashamed of Fang Xuanling and Li Jing." Although it is a book of the Ministry of Officials, it is not full of its ambitions, it is not a ruin of the times, and there are often unfair words",

Tang Taizong didn't believe it at the time. However, the facts were in front of him, and Tang Taizong had to praise his cousin's insight and thank him for his sincerity and frankness with the imperial court.

In the eighteenth year of Zhenguan, Tang Taizong sent troops to conquer Goryeo, Li Daozong was appointed as the deputy commander of the Liaodong Road march, the British Duke Li Tao was the head of the Liaodong Road march, leading 60,000 foot cavalry to force Liaodong, Zhang Liang was the head of the Pyongyang Road march, and led 40,000 soldiers to Jiang, Huai, Ling, and Xia.

500 warships crossed the sea from Laiju (now Shandong) to Pyongyang, advancing by land and water, and Goryeo was in danger.

Before that. Li Daozong once led hundreds of cavalry to Liaodong to survey the terrain, before leaving, he told Tang Taizong, "Please travel for 20 days, stay for 10 days to see the mountains and rivers." I have to see the Son of Heaven", after Li Daozong completed the task, he found that the retreat was cut off by the Goryeo army, so he led his troops to walk on the path.

rushed back to meet the Tang Emperor as scheduled, and the emperor sincerely praised him, "How can the courage of Ben and Yu pass", and immediately rewarded 50 catties of gold and 1,000 horses of silk.

In the nineteenth year of Zhenguan, Tang Taizong set out from Luoyang and drove his own expedition to Goryeo. Li Tao and Li Daozong stormed Gaimu City (now Fushun, Liaoning), which lasted more than ten days, and finally conquered it, captured 20,000 people, obtained more than 100,000 stone of grain, and "set up Gaizhou with its city".

Zhang Liang captured Beisha City (present-day Dongda Black Mountain, Jinxian County, Liaoning) and captured 8,000 men and women.

The army of Li Tao and Li Daozong advanced with victory until they reached the outside of Liaodong City (now Liaoyang, Liaoning), when 40,000 Goryeo cavalry arrived to come to the rescue, and a fierce battle began.

Because of the disparity in numbers, others built a deep ditch and a high fortress for Li Daozong to hold on, Li Daozong said angrily, "The thief came from afar, the soldiers were tired, and the crowd despised me, and I would be destroyed in a battle."

In the past, Geng Yi did not leave his father as a thief, I was in the front army, and I should clear the road to wait for the public opinion", led four thousand cavalry to meet the Goryeo army, at first the shape shì was unfavorable, the Tang army was defeated and retreated, Li Daozong rose bravely,

led dozens of cavalry to rush left and right in the enemy army, killing in and out, Li Tao also led the troops to help, and the Tang army beheaded more than 1,000 levels.

Defeat the Goryeo army. Tang Taizong's royal car came to the front line, and he admired his cousin's bravery very much, and immediately rewarded forty slaves and maids to commend them. Seven days later, the Tang army captured Liaodong City and beheaded more than 10,000 people.

More than 10,000 Goryeo soldiers were captured, 40,000 men and women were captured, and Liaozhou was placed in Liaozhou. The Tang army advanced all the way and soon reached the outside of Anshi City (now southeast of Haicheng, Liaoning), and the battle began.

When the people of Anshi City heard that Li Tao played Tang Taizong and asked to kill the people of the whole city after breaking through Anshi City, they all desperately helped the Goryeo army to defend the city, and the two sides fought wits and courage and launched a desperate battle.

Li Daozong built a dirt hill in the southeast of Anshi City, approaching the city wall, and the defenders in the city also raised the city wall to confront the Tang army. Li Tao attacked the west side of Anshi City, rushed the car and slammed into the battlements of the city wall.

The stone thrower threw a shower of stones, and the battlements of the city wall hit the gap, and the city was immediately filled with a wooden fence to prevent it from being guarded.

Not an inch back. The Tang army attacked the city for more than 60 days, but it was not allowed to enter. Li Daozong was injured in his foot before the battle, and Tang Taizong was very worried.

personally gave his cousin acupuncture and gave him imperial food. At this time, the height of the earth mountain piled up by the Tang army has exceeded the city wall, which is enough to look down on the city, and seeing that the city is about to be broken, the competition between the two sides has reached a critical moment. Li Daozong asked Guo Yi Du Lieutenant Fu Fuai to be stationed at the top of Tushan Mountain to observe the military situation at any time.

Unexpectedly, Fu Fuai left his post without permission, and what was even more unfortunate was that Tushan suddenly collapsed, crushing the city wall, and the Goryeo soldiers took advantage of the situation to rush out, occupy Tushan, dig trenches, and rearrange fortifications. The Tang army attacked for three days in a row, but failed to pull out the city, and Fu Fuai was beheaded for public display, paying the price of his life for his dereliction of duty.

Li Daozong was his immediate boss, so naturally he couldn't escape the blame, and he went barefoot to Tang Taizong to ask for guilt.

For his cousin who had lived and died together, Tang Taizong couldn't bear to be heavily responsible, and he told Li Daozong, "You deserve to die for your crimes, but I kill Wang Hui with Han Wu, it is not as good as Qin Mu to use Meng Ming, and I have the merit of breaking Gaimu and Liaodong, so I amnesty Ru'er."

At this time, it is almost late autumn in Liaodong, the climate is cold, and it is the coldest winter here, and the snot that just flows out will freeze, and continue to fight with the Koreans, which is not good for the army.

Tang Taizong decided to withdraw his troops back to the division, in fact, the Tang army has gained a lot in this trip, in one year, Xuansu, Hengshan, Gaimu, Momi, Liaodong, Baiyan, Beisha, Maigu, Yinshan, Houhuang and other ten cities into the territory of the Tang Dynasty,

The Tang army beheaded 40,000 people, captured more than 70,000 households of Goryeo, and lost only 2,000 of its own. Li Daozong was the front army first, and then the palace, and his merits are self-evident.

Tang Taizong once said to his courtiers, "Today's famous generals are only Li Tao, Li Daozong, and Xue Wanche.

Li Tao and Li Daozong are more serious, and they will not win or defeat big. Xue Wanche is either a big victory or a big defeat."

The Tang army marched east to Goryeo, but the Xue Yantuo tribe was making trouble behind the scenes, which made Tang Taizong very annoyed, and in the twentieth year of Zhenguan, Li Daozong was appointed as the ambassador of Hanhai Province to pacify, and together with several other Tang armies, he crusaded against Xue Yantuo.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Xue Yantuo's Duomi Khan fled to the Asid Shijian tribe, but was besieged by the Hui soldiers, Duomi Khan was killed, the dragons were leaderless, and the rest of Xue Yantuo still had 70,000 people, so he supported the establishment of the Romana branch as the It Belose Khan, and the Iter Belose Khan wrote to the Tang Dynasty to ask for peace, asking to stay at the northern foot of Yudujun Mountain (now the eastern branch of Hangai Mountain in the Republic of Mongolia), Tang Taizong agreed, and sent Li Tao and Cui Dunli to pacify.

Li Tao found out that the Khan of Itbelose was not sincerely attached, but secretly plotted against him, so together with Li Daozong, he attacked Xue Yantuo in the north of the Yu Governor's army, beheaded more than 5,000 ranks, and captured more than 30,000 men and women of Xue Yantuo.

Li Daozong crossed the desert, pursued Xue Yantuo, fought fiercely with tens of thousands of people, beheaded more than 1,000 levels, chased out 200 miles, and won a complete victory in the battle to destroy Xue Yantuo, and Dumo Zhi was taken back to the capital to be taken prisoner.

The land of the Tang Dynasty is unprecedentedly vast, the prestige of the Tang Dynasty is spread in all directions, and more than ten tribes such as Huifu, Bayegu, Tongluo, Servant Bone, Duo Langge, Sijie, Afall, Qibi, Falling Knot, Hun, Huxue, etc., have successively attached to the Tang Dynasty, and Tang Taizong has been placed as the state capital because of its place, and it is under the jurisdiction of Yan Ran Duhu (to be continued. )
