Li Keyong, a native of Shatuo, was formerly known as Zhu Xie Keyong. Of course, not because his Laozi's surname is Zhu and his mother's surname is Xie, but because his grandfather's surname is Zhu Xie and his Laozi's surname is Zhu Xie, and their whole family is surnamed Zhu Xie, so he also has the surname Zhu Xie. Later, the Zhu Xie family was given the surname Li by the Tang government because of his merits, so he changed his face and became the surname of the country, and then he actually called himself a royal family, and inherited the Li family, and established the Tang Dynasty. In fact, in the beginning, Shatuo was just a place name.

In the southeast of the Junggar Basin in Xinjiang scattered in the moon, in the eastern part of the Tianshan Mountains, there is a big sand pile, called Shatuo, it is estimated that the Shatuo people do not have many cultural people, so "do not change the name, sit on the ground and take the surname", say let's call it Shatuo, so the Shatuo Turk was born.

And in the beginning, Zhu Xie was not a surname, but a tribal title of Shatuo, just like we call ourselves Han, but in the end, the tribal name evolved into a surname.

In the seventh year of Zhenguan (633), the leader of the Chuyue tribe accompanied the Western Turkic nobleman Ashina Mi to Chang'an to meet Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. Later, Chuyue was subordinate to the Western Turkic Ebilu Khan.

In the sixteenth year of Zhenguan, Yibi Lulu Khan raised troops to attack Yizhou in the Tang Dynasty (now Hami City, Xinjiang), and sent the two divisions of Chuyue and Chumi to besiege the Tianshan Army (now the northeast of Tuoxun County, Xinjiang). Tang Anxi protected Guo Xiaoke to repel the Western Turkic army and conquered the city where Chu Yue Jin (official name) lived.

In April of the twenty-second year of Zhenguan, the Western Turk Yehu Ashina Helu surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, and the eldest brother Zhu Xie and Jin Aqi also followed the Tang Dynasty.

In the second year of Yonghui (651), it is estimated that He Lu felt that the Heavenly Khan Tang Taizong was gone. No one could control him, so he rebelled again. Seeing that the boss was reversed, Sha Tuo's Zhu Xie Gu also actively responded with troops. But Shadha, who shot his spleen, voted against the uprising.

Obedient give candy to eat. Disobedient rewarded the stick, Tang Gaozong awarded Sha Tuo Nasu with Helu's original official position, and then sent troops to quell the rebellion. In the spring of the third year of Yonghui,

Liang Jianfang, the head of the march of Gongyue Road, and He Lisheng captured Zhu Xie. In the second year, the Tang Dynasty revoked the Yaochi Governor's Mansion and set up two prefectures of Jinman and Shatuo in the place of the moon. In 657, the Tang pacification ambassador Ashinami shot to Yilishui (present-day Xinjiang and its western Ili River).

At that time, the Moon Division, which had gone west, surrendered to him. After the Ashina Helu rebellion was quelled, the Zhuyue Department was under the jurisdiction of Kunling Duhu Ashina Mishe.

662 year. Mobei Tiele nine surnames rebelled, the leader of the month Shatuo Jinshan learned well this time, followed the court mixed with sugar to eat, and the rebellion had no future, so he followed the general Xue Rengui of Zuo Wuwei to defeat Tiele in the Tianshan Mountains. Shatuo Jinshan was awarded the post of Moli Army Attack Envoy for his merits.

In 702, Shatuo Jinshan was promoted to the governor of Jinmanchu Prefecture and was named the Duke of Zhangye County. After his death, his son was the heir to the throne. In 712, the Moon Department was in order to avoid Tibet. Moved to Beiting (now Beipo Chengzi, Jimsar County, Xinjiang), and Fuguo led his subordinates to Chang'an to meet Tang Xuanzong Li Longji.

In 714, Fuguo was reinstated as the governor of Jinmanchu Prefecture. Tang Xuanzong named his mother Nishi as the wife of Shanguo. Later, the auxiliary state entered the king of Yongshou County, after his death. His son is the heir of the bone branch.

In 742, the Tang Dynasty appointed Gu Du Zhi to serve as the deputy protector of the Hui Dynasty. After the Anshi Rebellion, the Gu Duzhi participated in the counterinsurgency and made meritorious contributions. Tang Suzong Li Heng awarded him the special advance and the general of Xiaowei. After his death, his son remained faithful to the throne. He was promoted to the rank of General of the Golden Guard. Seal Jiuquan County Gong. After the middle of the 8th century, Tibet occupied the Hexi Corridor and other places. Shatuo's connection with the Tang Dynasty was interrupted due to the blockage.

From 785 to 804, Sha Tuo led 7,000 accounts to Tibet. Tubo moved to Shatuo to Ganzhou (now Zhangye County, Gansu Province). Later, when the Uighurs took Liangzhou (present-day Wuwei County, Gansu Province), the Tibetan chieftains, suspecting that Duzhong was secretly colluding with the Uighurs, prepared to move Shatuo to the area north of the Yellow River.

The Shatuo people were very frightened about this. He was loyal to his son Zhu Xie Zhiyi and discussed, and Zhiyi said: "I am a Tang minister in my life, unfortunately I am dirty, if I go to Xiaoguan (located in the southeast of Guyuan County, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region) and return to myself, will it not be more extinct?" "In the third year of Tang Yuanhe, 30,000 people from the Shatuo Department moved east.

The Tubo army pursued, and the Shatuo tribe fought and walked, along Taoshui (now Taohe, a tributary of the Yellow River in Gansu Province) to Shimenguan (located in the northwest of present-day Guyuan County, Ningxia), fighting hundreds of times, most of the casualties of the troops, and they were all loyal and killed.

In the end, the wounded Zhu Xie Zhiyi led the remaining crowd of nearly 10,000 people and 3,000 horses to flee to Lingzhou (southwest of present-day Lingwu County, Ningxia).

In contrast, more than a thousand years later, in order to get rid of the control of Tsarist Russia, the Turks traveled thousands of miles to the east to return to the Qing Dynasty, although it is better known to the world, but this return to the east is also singable.

The Tang Dynasty arranged for the Shatuo Department to live in Yanzhou (now Dingbian County, Shaanxi Province), and set up Yinshan Mansion for it, and appointed Zhu Xie Zhiyi as the envoy of Yinshan Prefecture. The old and weak remnants of the Shatuo Department successively went to Yanzhou to rendezvous.

The loyal younger brother Gele Apo also led the remnants of 700 people to defect to the Lingyan Festival envoy Fan Xichao. The Tang Dynasty appointed Ge Leapo as the governor of Yinshan Prefecture.

Later, the Fan Xi Dynasty was reappointed as Taiyuan Prefecture, and the Tang Dynasty moved to Huanghuadui (now Shanyin County, Shuozhou City, Shanxi) in order to prevent the Shatuo people from repeating, and then divided its troops into various departments, and Shatuo gradually became an important source of strength for the Tang army.

During the Tang Yizong, Zhu Xie, the son of Zhiyi, was meritorious in suppressing the Pang Xun uprising, and was given the name Li Guochang.

Li Keyong is the third son of Li Guochang, born in today's Shuozhou City, Shanxi Province, which is my hometown. In my opinion, it is more appropriate for Li Ke to name Li Nezha, his mother has been pregnant with him for thirteen months, it is estimated that it is too big in the belly, and when he is in labor, his mother has a decisive dystocia.

The whole family was very worried, went to Yanmen to buy medicine, and met an old man on the way, the old man said: "This is not a disease that doctors can cure, so let's go home quickly, lead the clansmen, put on armor, wave battle flags, beat drums and shout, do a battle and fight, and walk around the house three times." ”

Seeing that if they couldn't regenerate, they would have to die with one corpse and two lives, so people did as the old man said, and as a result, not to mention, the child couldn't wait to come out when he heard the sound of fighting outside.

That's not all, the more divine is still to come, the child is born, just like giving birth to a crystal ball. Colorful light illuminated the house, and the courtyard was as bright as daylight. The well water also began to swell and overflow, a sign of an earthquake.

Probably because she has been in the womb for too long. Legend has it that Li Keyong was born to speak, and his eyebrows fluttered with joy whenever he heard military terms.

Regardless of whether the historical records are true or false, all of this is just to illustrate one thing, that is, this child is the reincarnation of the god of war, and he was born for only one purpose, which is to fight.

However, the appearance of the god of war Li Ke seems to be a little unimpressive, and he was born blind in one eye, and he was called a one-eyed dragon at the time.

The one-eyed dragon Li Keyong will be a little incomplete when he sees the world. But there is one thing that definitely has a great advantage over ordinary people, and that is archery.

The process of archery for ordinary people is to set up arrows, draw bows, aim, and shoot, but Li Keyong, as a one-eyed dragon, only uses three steps; Arrows, bows, and shots completely omit the step of aiming, because people are born to turn a blind eye and aim at all times.

And Li Keyong did not waste his talent, and finally became a master of archery, which will be put on hold today. It's not a problem to win a few Olympiad titles. There are many legends about the archery skills used by Li Ke.

It is said that when Li Ke was thirteen years old, he saw two wild ducks flying in the air, whizzing two arrows. In the middle of the continuous hair, everyone present was impressed, this Nima is a prodigy. Yao Ming may not be able to shoot two shots.

Look at me again, at thirteen. I can't play with glass balls, and I always lose all my pocket money on buying glass balls.

Later, Li Ke took refuge in Tatar. Divided by the enemy, the Tatars wanted to kill him. Li Keyong didn't panic at all after knowing it,

But if you have nothing to do, shoot two arrows to play, and pick a place with a lot of people to shoot, sometimes hang a horsewhip to shoot a horsewhip to play, sometimes hang a leaf to shoot a leaf to play,

Anyway, what is the excitement to play, what is the difficulty to play, and those Tatars who are born to ride horses and shoot arrows are stunned. I saw two eagle owls flying in the sky at one time, and I saw clearly,

This time it's an eagle, not a wild duck, Li Ke didn't say a word, shoot with a bow, kill two birds with one stone, I don't know how powerful Guo Jing's archery level is, but at least Li Ke must reach this level to be worthy of the title of Condor Hero.

When the Tatar people saw that Li Ke used such a bull to break it, they were shocked, so they didn't dare to murder him, playing this with others, it was really a big knife in front of Luban's door, and he had nothing to find to cut it.

Later, when Li Keyong was in the crusade against Huangchao, he went to the bead curtain village and met a good man blocking the way, this person was the famous general Zhou Dewei of the fifth generation, the martial arts were relative, nonsense was useless, the two of them fought with horses, and fought for a hundred rounds, regardless of victory or defeat, so they took eagle shooting as a bet.

Zhou Dewei said: "If you can shoot the flying eagle, I will dismount and surrender." "Zhou Dewei, you are too underestimated that Li Ke has used it, let alone one, both of them have been shot.

Seeing Li Ke shoot with a curved bow, where the bowstring sounded, the eagle had landed, Zhou Dewei and his little friend were instantly stunned, and immediately raised their hands to surrender. Being the little brother of such an archer is not a bargain, and since then Zhou Dewei has become Li Keyong's subordinate. Peking Opera "Bead Curtain Village" is performed in this episode.

One day, Yang Xingmi, who was based in Huainan, wanted to see what Li Keyong looked like. At that time, there were no newspapers and television, and if you want to know what a person looks like, in addition to meeting, you have to listen to people's descriptions.

However, when competitors meet, it is likely that they will be detained at first sight and will not be able to come back, describe it...... It seems to be too unreliable, when the ancient people described the literati, almost all of them were seven feet eight inches long, and the style was particularly beautiful.

So Yang Xingmi found a painter and pretended to be a businessman to Hedong to wait for an opportunity to steal Li Keyong. Unexpectedly, as soon as the painter arrived in Hedong, he was immediately captured by the soldiers who had received information in advance.

The painter was brought to Li Keyong, and Li Keyong pressed his knee and said angrily: "Huainan sent you to paint me, presumably you are a master among painters, if you paint well today, you will spare your dog's life, and if you don't paint well, then you will die without a place to be buried!" ”

After the painter bowed to Li Keyong, he began to paint unhurriedly. It was the height of summer, and Li Ke fanned back and forth with an octagonal fan, so the painter made the corner of the fan just cover Li Ke's blind eyes. Li Keyong looked at it and said, "You are flattering me, it doesn't count." ”

So let him repaint, the painter responded to the pen, painted Li Ke with a bow to shoot arrows, one eye squinted to do the aim, this scratched the itch of Li Ke, Li Ke with great joy, not only spared his life, but also rewarded him, and sent someone to send him back to Huainan.

Li Keyong was brave and good at fighting when he was young, and the army called him "Li Ya'er". At the age of fifteen, Li Guochang crusaded against Pang Xun. He joined the army and went out to fight, charging ahead of the generals, and the army regarded him as a "flying tiger".

So, the one-eyed dragon is him, the crow is him, the flying tiger is him, it's him, it's him, it's him, it's him.

Shatuobu has always been strong, Li Guochang is arrogant and arrogant because of his high achievements, Tang Yizong is worried about this, and feels that this living treasure is a time bomb installed by his side, and if he can't say that one day he can't go with his heart, he will create some chaos for you.

It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, Tang Yizong dodged this bomb, but his son Tang Xizong was not so lucky.

In the fifth year of Qianfu (878), a famine occurred in Daibei (now northern Shanxi Province), and Cao's transportation was not good, and the transportation of materials was difficult, and it often cost several times the freight to transport rice.

Duan Wenchu, the envoy of the Datong Defense, was a good man and decided to drastically reduce the supply of sergeants' clothing and rice to reduce the burden on the common people.

From the point of view, this is a good method, which shows that the contingent of officials has always represented the fundamental interests of the broadest masses of the people. However, the officers and soldiers at that time were obviously not like the people's soldiers now, who were able to think about what the people thought and were anxious about what the people were anxious about.

As soon as he came, the Shatuo soldiers stopped doing it, oh, you often tell us that you need to raise soldiers for a thousand days, and when you use us, you tell us, brothers, rush me, now you don't need it, just say that you want to protect the interests of the people, so who will protect our interests? Since no one cares, it seems that you have to make your own decisions.

So the soldiers took up the things in their hands, killed Duan Wenchu, and embraced Li Keyong as the boss. Li Keyong explained the situation to the imperial court, and at the end of the day, he recommended himself: "Anyway, it's all like this, you can appoint me as the envoy of the festival." ”

The court is unhappy, you killed my people and let me make you an official, dream, so I appointed the servant Lu Jianfang as the envoy of Zhenwu Festival, and together with the soldiers of Youyou and the two states, he crusaded against Shatuo. Lu Jianfang reached Lanzhou, the army was scattered, and Sha Tuo took the opportunity to occupy the area north of Daizhou.

In the second year, the court seemed to be hard and could not do it, so it planned to change to a soft way, because considering that Li Ye was kind to Shatuo when the original Taiyuan Jiedu made Li Ye have kindness to Shatuo, and Li Ye was already dead, so he appointed his son Li Jun as the envoy of the Lingwu Jiedu, and comforted the envoy of the three tribes of Shatuo Six Prefectures, so that Li Jun could recruit An Li Keyong, and named Li Keyong as the defense envoy of the Datong Army.
