Seeing that Di Renjie, who had just been demoted not long ago, was not afraid to be demoted again for the sake of the empire, and asked to retain Li Kaigu and the two for the country, Wu Zetian was moved and agreed to the request of this loyal minister who was dedicated to the country.

This is not over, Di Renjie continued to speak, asking the court to give Li Kaigu and the two officials (and please be officials).

Good people do it to the end.

Wu Zetian appointed Li Kaigu as the general of Zuo Yuchaowei and Luo Wucheng as the general of the right Wu Weiwei in court.

Of course, Wu Zetian does not trade at a loss.

The life has been spared, the official has been sealed, so something has to be done.

So, Wu Zetian ordered the two to "attack the Khitan remnants"

Li Kaigu and the two did not disgrace their mission, and the history recorded: "Xi Pingzhi." ”

Since then, the Khitan that has been cleaned up has stopped, and the disabled Khitan has turned to Mo Si.

From the Khitan incident, we can draw several lessons or experiences:

First, we must have the responsibility of a great country! If the most basic ones can't satisfy others, people will definitely not accept you, and some bold people are not only not convinced, but also dare to argue with you!

Similar examples existed in ancient times, and there are still today, and they are just around the corner.

Second, use the right people!

There are two main lessons from this: first, the origin of the incident is Zhao Wenhui's arrogance and arrogance, and Zhao Wenhui, the governor of Yingzhou, has an identity - the director of the ethnic affairs office of the Tang Dynasty to the Khitan and Xi, who is not only responsible for border military tasks, but also undertakes the task of handling ethnic relations. Its military achievements are unknown, but it is really incompetent in handling national stability maintenance affairs; Secondly, after the Khitan anti-Tang Dynasty, nepotism was used for the main generals of the Khitan, and it was just some waste such as Wu Youyi, Wu Sansi, and Wu Zongyi, and it was rare to send Wang Xiaojie, but he also advanced alone, without the cooperation of the rear army.

Third, be good at using external forces!

If there is no intervention of the third power, the Turks. With just one woman and a few Wu clan wastes, I am afraid that not only Hebei Dao is "shocked", but even Guan Nei Dao may not be able to be left alone.

Although nominally, the Tang Dynasty and the Turks conducted private deals. It is despicable, but at least it has achieved the goal of defeating the Khitan.

Not confined to the form, not burdened by false names, only practical interests!

In layman's terms, it means that you should have a thick skin. This is true of people, and so is the nation.

You don't see that some countries today are either flaunting their military might in the world, or tampering with history to the world, or being ungrateful in the blink of an eye, or ......

National credibility? National image? ! It's the actual benefits that matter!

Fourth, forget it, I was going to talk about it, but I didn't think it was necessary, enough was enough. If you talk too much, everyone is annoyed, and I'm also annoyed, so let's not talk about it, let's summarize it by ourselves.

From 696 to 697 AD, the joint anti-Tang rebellion of the Khitan and Xi people was finally quelled after the Tang Dynasty took in dozens of generals, hundreds of thousands of troops, hundreds of miles of land and countless materials.

In this year's battle, the Khitan and Xi tribes were beaten down, and the Tang Dynasty almost exhausted the little remaining strength after Wu Zetian's big killing, and the only one who benefited was the opportunistic Turks on the side.

In any case, the northeastern border is temporarily tranquil. At least it was relatively peaceful, and for fifteen years.

In these 15 years, the regime of the Tang Dynasty completed the transition from the Holy Empress Wu Cao of Zetianshun to the Zhongzong Emperor Li Xian to the rebellion of Empress Wei of Zhongzong to the turbulent and ups and downs of the Ruizong Emperor Li Dan to the Xuanzong Emperor Li Longji, and the throne finally returned to the hands of the Tang and Li clans. Under the rule of Xuanzong Li Longji, the Tang Dynasty is about to usher in the most glorious Kaiyuan era in Chinese history......

As soon as qiē, it seems that they are all developing in a good direction!

However, before the heyday, there will always be a little twists and turns.

God bless me China!

The above content is basically the Khitan who is known as one of the "two times" singing the leading role, and the Xi people are basically hiding on the side as a follower.

At the end of the Great War of that year. Because they saw clearly in time and turned to the Tang Dynasty, the Xi people finally did not settle accounts by the Tang Dynasty like the Khitan, and they were beaten to the point that they only had one breath left, and they almost didn't recover.

once followed the Khitan buttocks, and picked up a lot of cheap in the eventful autumn of the Tang Dynasty;

also followed behind the Tang Dynasty's buttocks, and lost a lot of stones when the Khitan fell into the well;

Always "following the XX ass", a little depressing, and even more sorry for the title of "twice".

I've been suppressed for a long time, and I always want to show my head!

The first outcrop, 710 AD, the first year of Tang Ruizong Li Dan Jingyun, December.

This year, perhaps due to the poor harvest, the Xi people went out after a lapse of 13 years, targeting the two counties of Yuyang and Yongnu (both in the northwest of today's Tianjin) in the jurisdiction of Youzhou, with the purpose of robbing.

The Xi achieved their goal and plundered, which, frankly, was a military operation on a small scale, so much so that it was unexpected by the Tang defenders - before the Tang army could react, the Xi army withdrew from Lulongsai (present-day Xifengkou) to the territory with the looted goods.

Compared with the "Rebellion of the Two Tibetans" 13 years ago, this is indeed a small scale, Datang was only robbed of some property, no loss of soldiers, no loss of land, no humiliation of national prestige. However, this small-scale military operation will once again open the curtain of the war between Tang and Khitan and Xi, and many fierce people will appear again.

The first fierce man, the first fierce general of the Gaozong Dynasty of the Tang Dynasty, the prince of Pingyang County, and the general of Zuo Wuwei Xue Rengui (don't get excited yet) - the son of Xue Ne.

He, after the famous family;

He, the gate tiger;

He created the "era of moderation" in Chinese history; ("The Temperance Makes Its Name Begin with Na" – Zizhi Tongjian, vol. 210)

He washed away the shame of the Tang Dynasty's repeated unfavorable battles against Tibet.

He is worthy of the prestige of his father Xue Rengui, he is worthy of the name of the general of the Tang Town, he lives up to the trust, and he is brave after being ashamed......

He is the general of Zuo Yulin of the Tang Dynasty and Xue Ne, the prince of Pingyang County.

……

Major Achievements:

Excuse me. According to my evaluation criteria, there is nothing worth mentioning for the time being. The historical data is also the same, only one sentence is recorded: "I have been in charge of the border town for a long time, and I have accumulated military exploits." This is the record of the "Old Tang Book". There is only one sentence in the "New Tang Dynasty Book": "For a long time, there are military exploits." ”

According to the entry standards of Chinese historians, if it were not for the outstanding and outstanding performance in the subsequent wars, Xue Ne would never have been included in history, and at most he would have left a sentence at the end of "The Biography of Xue Rengui" such as "Zine." Inherit the father's lord" and so on.

In short, he bears a halo of many glories, that's a fact! I won't sell Guan Zi anymore, he will eventually be a famous general of the Tang Dynasty, not a gentleman.

However, before getting to know him deeply, let's take a look at a sentence of evaluation of Xue Ne in the history books, this evaluation is very important, and only after seeing this sentence can we truly understand the real reasons behind Xue Ne's many expressions:

"(Xue) Ne. Brave and silent, its use of soldiers, facing the enemy is stronger. —New Tang Dynasty Books, vol. 124

Biography XXXVI

The key is the latter sentence - to grow stronger in the face of the enemy.

In other words, Xue Ne is suitable or good at dealing with strong enemies. In other words, he is not suitable to fight the little thief.

This is a very confusing question, you little thief can't beat a robber?

Before answering this question, let's take a look at an old Chinese saying: when you are weak, you are weak, and when you are strong, you are strong.

It's a matter of relativity, that is, any one person. There are times when the pros and cons contradict each other.

Guan Yu has been on the battlefield all his life, but in the end he was defeated by Lu Xun, can you say that Guan Yu will not fight?

Zhang Fei had the courage of ten thousand people, but finally died on the couch. Can you say that Zhang Fei can't fight?

Say what is far away, and say something close.

Put aside the modern era, it is called to be a good winner!

Some people are extremely competitive, and they disdain people whose abilities are worse than their own. The brain is often short-circuited; On the contrary, when you meet someone who is stronger than yourself, the more you want to earn a win or lose, and your IQ, EQ, etc. will obviously be higher than the usual level.

It's like there is a saying: a man in love is a poet, and a woman in love is a fool.

It's like two people falling in love, if one party is strong and the other side is gentle, then the strong one will not be strong anymore; And if both parties are strong people, then there will be more time when they are usually together, and they will not admit defeat and want to win! Cover this meaning too!

More than 60 years ago, that is, in the eighteenth year of Zhenguan (644 AD), when Taizong Li Shimin first conquered Goguryeo, under the city of Liaodong, the Tang army of Li Shichang encountered 40,000 reinforcements from Goguryeo, Li Daozong only led 4,000 cavalry to intercept it. ”

Heroes! You can only see it when you meet a strong opponent!

Star! It's when you encounter a strong enemy that you can show your talents!

Xue Ne, such a person!

And when the Xi people entered the territory of Youzhou to loot this time, the border guard general of the Tang Dynasty at that time was Xue Ne, the governor of Youzhou!

However, don't be excited, the current Xue Ne is still in the ups and downs of life, and the time and place for him to really show his majesty are not here.

The scale of the Xi invasion this time was not large, and Xue Ne was a great talent for dealing with strong enemies.

Speaking of which, everyone should understand what I am going to say, the Tang border army, which has not been war-free for a long time, was completely caught off guard in the face of the invasion of the Xi people.

However, being caught off guard does not mean that you can turn a blind eye and do nothing!

Xue Ne, the governor of Youzhou at the time, hurriedly organized his troops and went to pursue the retreating Xi army, but unfortunately, when Xue Ne led the army to set off, the Xi troops had already withdrawn.

In vain!

It doesn't matter, this time it didn't work out, there was a second, a third time......

Xue Ne, I hope you see the right time, seize other opportunities that may arise again in time, and finally prove yourself!

In 710 AD, the invasion and looting of the Xi people was only a small episode, which only caused a slight ripple, and was soon drowned in the long river of history.

After this incident, Xue Ne continued to be his governor of Youzhou, responsible for the border defense of Hebei Province in the northeast.

In this position, Xue Ne has been doing it for nearly 20 years, and during his tenure, except for the entry of the Xi people in 710, there was no war, there was nothing to do at the border, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.

Historically, China had four prosperous eras - the Han Dynasty's "rule of Wenjing", the Tang Dynasty's "Zhenguan's rule", "the Kaiyuan Dynasty's prosperous era", and the Qing Dynasty's "Kangqian Dynasty". "The rule of Wenjing", after years of war, adopted a seemingly inactive loose policy, so that the economy could recover quickly, and the people's lives were improved, but militarily, they were oppressed by the Xiongnu for a long time, and could only rely on "harmony" and "tribute" to maintain balance, until the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, this situation was changed.

The "prosperous era of Kaiyuan" created by Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty created the heyday of China's feudal dynasty.

All countries came to the dynasty, but Xuanzong indulged in wine in the later period and appointed traitors, which led to the rapid decline of the country after the Anshi Rebellion, and the Tang Dynasty was no longer beautiful. As for "Kangqian Prosperous Age", I don't want to say more, now film and television dramas are overwhelmingly the themes of that period.

At that time, the country was peaceful and the people were prosperous. However, I personally believe that the humiliation suffered by the Chinese nation only more than 100 years later is the seed planted during this period.

At the same time, the development of Western civilization and industry was not looked down upon by our great Kangxi and Qianlong emperors. Therefore, in the four prosperous times, what I most admire is the "rule of Zhenguan" created by Emperor Taizong, after the great chaos of the country, on the one hand, reduce taxes, let the people recuperate, on the other hand, reorganize the army for war,

In one fell swoop, the Turks, the largest neighbor of the Tang Dynasty who had long threatened the Central Plains in the north, made them far away, and actively admonished internally, ruled the Qing Dynasty, and surrendered to the four seas with external grace and power, and Taizong was called "Heavenly Khan" at that time.

I think that in Chinese history, the dynasties that have contributed the most to this nation are Qin (the first emperor), the Han (Emperor Wu), the Tang (Taizong, Xuanzong), and half of the Ming Dynasty ancestor Zhu Di.

Qin swept **, unified China, and laid the skeleton of the Chinese nation; Under the leadership of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty expanded its territory, defeated the invincible Xiongnu, and its prestige spread far to West Asia, and now Xinjiang and other places were included in China's territory at that time, and left us with an eternal name - Han people, it can be said that the Han Dynasty enriched the flesh and blood of the Chinese nation.

The Tang Dynasty was the pinnacle of Chinese history, and the prosperous era created by Emperor Taizong and Emperor Xuanzong made the Tang Empire the center of the world.

And a generation of heroes into the ancestor Zhu Di, we can not help but admire his unique vision, in that era to solve all difficulties, adhere to the road of maritime power, if future generations can continue to walk, China's history will be rewritten, maybe now the rulers of the Americas and Oceania are yellow people. Hehe, I don't know much about history, I have a little idea of my own, and I write it indiscriminately. (To be continued.) )
