Chapter 321 [Tang General 28]

According to historical records, Prime Minister Pei Du went to Caizhou,

"Li Yu greeted him with a military salute and worshiped the left of the road", Li Yu was wearing a military salute and saw Pei Du with a military salute, and Pei Du said that he did not dare to be. The costume is a special costume in the Tang Dynasty, formed in the northwest.

He wears a red forehead on his head, a hakama slave on his lower body, boots on his feet, a knife in his left hand, and a bow on his right.

Li Yu, as an envoy of the festival, greeted the prime minister in this kind of military general's attire, which had a meaning of surrendering his identity and showing respect for the imperial court. Li Yu told Pei Du, "This side does not know the distinction between superior and inferior authority for a long time,

Please show the public reason", Pei Du accepted his worship as the prime minister's court, so that the Cai people saw the prestige of the court that had long been unfamiliar, and the Cai people present were all moved, as if they had returned to the Tianbao period. After Huaixi was pacified, the upper and lower shapes shì were very good, and the Henghai Festival made Cheng Quan request the family to enter the court,

With the approval of Tang Xianzong, the two prefectures of Cang and Jing (now the northeast of Jing County, Hebei) returned to the jurisdiction of the central government, Youzhou (now Beijing) Jiedu made Liu Zong please attach his department to the imperial court, and Chengde Jiedu made Wang Chengzong ask to take the two sons as hostages, Xiande (now Lingxian County, Shandong) and Di (now Huimin County, Shandong) two states,

After Wang Chengzong's death, his younger brother Wang Chengyuan asked the court to appoint a commander, and the feudal towns expressed their loyalty to the court one after another, serving the court before and after the saddle, and Tang Xianzong's ambition to dominate the world became a reality step by step.

In November of the twelfth year of Yuanhe, Wu Yuanji was beheaded in Chang'an, and his three sons and two younger brothers were also executed.

Li Yu's merits were rewarded by Tang Xianzong, and he entered the Liangguo Gong and Shangzhu Kingdom, with 3,000 households and 500 households, and a son became a five-rank official. Prime Minister Pei Du was in a high position, and the safety of the society was at stake, and he was also named the Duke of Jin at this time.

Li You was named the general of Shenwu, and later moved to Jiannan Xichuan Xingying Jiedu envoy, he governed the army well. "Qiang Rong is afraid". Dong Chongzhen was originally Wu Yuanji's right-hand man, because Li Yu had promised him immortality,

Tang Xianzong was specially forgiven and demoted to Chunzhou Sihu. Later, at the request of Li Yu, he was enlisted into the Wuning Army, which was the vanguard of the army and made great contributions to the suppression of the rebellion.

The campaign to pacify Huaixi was inspiring. The ministers have asked for Le Shi Jigong, and Tang Xianzong asked Han Yu to write the inscription, which is the "Pinghuai West Tablet" that has been passed down through the ages.

Because it was Prime Minister Pei Du who was in charge at that time, Han Yu attributed the greatest credit to Pei Du for pacifying Huaixi, and the inscription was recognized by the ministers in the imperial court, but it caused the dissatisfaction of Li Yu's family and subordinates.

Soon after the stele was erected, Li Yu's subordinates smashed Shi Xiaozhong to the ground, Li Yu's wife was the daughter of Princess Tang'an, and she also had to fight for her husband. Entered the palace alone and cried to Tang Xianzong,

For her husband, the emperor's relatives and relatives, the emperor is not unaffordable, but his opinions cannot be ignored, coupled with the prime minister Pei Du's generosity, Tang Xianzong weighed the severity, and asked Duan Wenchang, a bachelor of Hanlin, to rewrite the inscription

, this is the so-called "Duan Monument" in history, although the "Duan Monument" has settled the battle for military merits. But what has been handed down to this day and is praised is still the "Han Monument" written by Han Yu, which shows that the iron pen of green history and justice are at ease in the hearts of the people.

In the thirteenth year of Tang Xianzong's reign, in order to recover the goal of Longyou's hometown. The imperial court named Li Yu as the envoy of Fengxiang Longyoujie, expecting him to make contributions to the border fortress, but Li Yu has not yet arrived.

The trouble caused by Ziqing Li Shidao has made Tang Xianzong unbearable. After pacifying Huaixi, Li Shidao was worried, in order to protect himself. He went up to the table and invited his eldest son to serve,

As a hostage of the imperial court, and sacrificed the three states of Yi, Mi, and Hai, after getting the approval of the imperial court, Li Shidao openly repented, and Chen Bing threatened the imperial envoys.

Tang Xianzong ordered Tian Hongzheng and other five section envoys to join forces to conquer Li Shidao, the army was like a bamboo, and the victory was one after another, and Tian Hongzheng's troops alone annihilated tens of thousands of enemies, and Li Yu was the envoy of the Wuning Army."

There is a strategy for managing the troops", he let the Huaixi general Dong Chongzhi act as a tooth general, reorganize the team, Wu Ningjun and Li Shidao's men went through eleven battles, captured 50 thieves, captured more than 10,000 people, and achieved a huge victory, Li Shidao's general Liu Wu saw that the general trend had gone, and fought back,

Killed Li Shidao and surrendered to the Tang army to Tian Hongzheng, and the Tang Dynasty recovered the twelve states of Zi (now Zibo South, Shandong) and Qing (now Qingzhou, Shandong) that Li Shidao had entrenched, showing the glory of the prosperous era again.

The territory of the Tang Dynasty in its heyday extends to Andong in the east, the Aral Sea in the west, the northern part of Vietnam in the south, and the northern part of the Mongolian Plateau in the north.

It was only then that the Tang Dynasty was reunified, and at this time, the restoration of the territory of its heyday seemed to be just around the corner.

In the fifteenth year of Yuanhe (820 AD), Li Yu became the left servant of the inspection school, and the Pingzhang of the same Zhongshu Men, and had a set of mansions given by the emperor in Xingning, and it was also in this year that Tang Xianzong was killed by the eunuchs, and the crown prince Li Heng was supported to the throne, which was Tang Muzong.

At this time, Li Yu had replaced Tian Hongzheng as the envoy of Wei Bojie, and Tian Hongzheng was sent to Chengde Town by the imperial court to become the envoy of Chengde Festival. Tian Hongzheng once led Wei Bojun to participate in the counterinsurgency, and fought many bloody battles with the Chengde army.

The two sides had a deep grudge, and this time, they had to bring 2,000 Dr. Wei soldiers to defend themselves. Soon after taking office, the one million military salaries promised by the imperial court were not in place.

The army's heart is floating, the momentum is violent, Tian Hongzheng is worried, in desperation, he has to let 2,000 soldiers return to Weibo, Tian Hong is alone, the original German army knows the soldiers and horses so that Wang Tingcao took the opportunity to incite the tooth soldiers,

Tian Hongzheng and his family killed more than 300 officials, causing a shocking bloody case. When Li Yu heard the news, he felt very sad that the imperial court had lost this pillar of talent, and he ordered the three armies to be uniformed, determined to avenge Tian Hongzheng.

He gave his sword to Shen and Ji Jiedu to make Niu Yuanyi, "My ancestors made great achievements with this sword, and I used this sword to pacify Caizhou, and now there is a rebellion in Chengde Town, I hope that Your Excellency can use this sword to eliminate the thieves", Niu Yuanyi swore that "I am willing to follow the crowd and do my best",

Just when Li Yu was ready to go, but suddenly got seriously ill, can not be a director, the court learned of the situation, sent Tian Bu to replace him, let him go back to Luoyang to recuperate, the first year of Changqing, Li Yu died of illness in Luoyang, at the age of forty-nine, Tang Muzong was very shocked when he heard the news, posthumously awarded him as a lieutenant.

Among all Li Sheng's sons, Li Yu was known for his benevolence and filial piety. Some of his brothers relied on their father's shadow and "took the lead in the house of servants and horses", and only he was thrifty and "in the courtyard of the old house of his ancestors". Such a talent, but died young, which makes people sigh.

"Walking with the snow camp overnight, the divine flag freezes and the horse is silent. Looking at the fire company from afar, I know that the vanguard has gone to the city." As a father and son in history, Li Sheng and Li Yu have enjoyed the glory and treatment due to a generation of heroes in the current dynasty.

Perhaps because of the lack of this tragic color, their reputation among the people is far less than that of Yang Ye and Yang Yanzhao in the Song Dynasty.

And Li Sheng, Li Yu, and his son, who are far superior to them, are much inferior in the eyes of the people. Perhaps this is in line with the laws of psychology, and the sadness and helplessness of heroes when they are in a desperate situation can move people's hearts the most.

Hunjing

"Nine temples are dustless and eight horses are back, and the Fengtian city fortress is Changchun moss. The heroic bones on the Xianyang Plain, half to the Jun family to raise horses",

He is a hero in the poems of the Tang Dynasty, loyal and brave, and even his domestic slaves were named the king of Bohai County for their outstanding military achievements.

The most popular family in the city. After everyone disperses, you must see. There is no such flower in the south of the Yangtze River", he is the taste in the poems of the Tang Dynasty,

The peonies planted at home crown the capital and become a tourist attraction. He is not a Han Chinese, but he has never been regarded as an outsider by the Han people, he is a high-powered prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, but he is regarded as a relative by the Tang Emperor.

The sentence "I don't doubt me" made many courtiers envious, and he was Hun Xuan. He is the legendary servant who sacrificed his life and forgot to die and recreated the Tang Dynasty.

Hun Yang (736 A.D. - 799 A.D.) was born in the Hunbu of the nine surnames of Tiele, and lived in Gaolanzhou (now both sides of the Yellow River in Yinnan, Ningxia).

His ancestor Hun A greedy branch is the great Li Fa of the Hun Department, Tang Taizong Zhenguan attached to the Tang Dynasty, since then to the ministry as the clan, the Tang Dynasty in order to settle the Tiele surname, in today's Ningxia set up Gaolan, Qilian and other states,

The Hun family is the governor of Gaolanzhou, according to the description of the "Geographical Chronicles" in the "Old Tang Book", its state is governed in Mingsha City, and the nine surnames live together and live here. Hun Ying's father, Hun Shi's martial arts,

Joined the Shuofang army, made great achievements, and was promoted all the way to Kaifu Yitong Sansi and Ningshuo County King, Hun Xuan grew up in such a family, and it was expected that he would become a generation of famous generals.

In the fifth year of Tianbao (746 AD), the eleven-year-old Hun Yang followed his father to participate in the routine winter border defense, Shuo Fang Jiedu made Zhang Qiqiu look at him childishly, and couldn't help but joke, "Did you bring a nurse", in Zhang Qiqiu's eyes, he was simply a little kid who had not dried up.

Things soon made Zhang Qiqiu fall through his glasses, and Hun Yang set up a jumping gong (a military merit set up for young soldiers) back then.

Two years later, he broke through the stone castle city and recovered Longju Island, Hun Yang participated in it, and made a lot of achievements.

And sent by An Sishun, for the first time, he led the division deep into the enemy territory, and broke the Absi Department, before the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion, he achieved the position of Zhonglang General with military merits.

After the outbreak of the "Anshi Rebellion", Hun Yang followed Li Guangbi, the history of Hedong Jiedu, to quell the rebellion in Hebei, and in the battle of attacking Changshan City (now Tang County, Hebei Province), he shot and killed the rebel general Li Lijie with an arrow, making the first contribution, which greatly boosted the morale of the Tang army.

After Tang Suzong ascended the throne in Lingzhou, Hun Ying led his subordinates to rush to Xingzai and reported to the imperial court in time. He followed Guo Ziyi to recover the two capitals,

Fought bloodily with An Qingxu's rebels, was promoted to Wufeng military envoy, and followed Fugu Huai'en to pacify Shi Chaoyi, dozens of battles of all sizes, the most prosperous military achievements, was awarded Taichangqing, and 200 households were sealed. After the "Anshi Rebellion" was pacified, the rest of Anshi still maintained considerable power.

In order to raise the self-respect, the imperial court tolerated the situation of the division of the feudal towns in order to seek Gou'an, and the taxes of the feudal towns were not included in the central government, and the laws and regulations were self-contained.

In the 48 towns under the sky, only a small part of the south, about one-third, registered with the central government and paid taxes; There are 830,000 soldiers and horses in the world, all of whom are supplied with money and grain by the central government.

However, the central government only had 1.4 million taxpayers in its hands, and after the Anshi Rebellion, the central government of the Tang Dynasty was as bad as the Western Han government on the eve of the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion. Meritorious men support their own troops,

Because he was dissatisfied with some measures of the imperial court, Fugu Huaien actually colluded with Hui and Tubo to fight against the imperial court, and in this case, Hun Ying led his subordinates to attach to Guo Ziyi and expressed his loyalty to the imperial court.

At that time, Hun Xuan's father, Hun Shizhi, served as the history of Shuofang Jiedu, guarded Lingzhou, and was killed by the rebels of Fugu Huai'en, and the imperial court immediately appointed Hun Yang as the Shuofang camp soldier and horse envoy, obeying Guo Ziyi's command.

Guo Ziyi persuaded Hui to fight the enemy together, and defeated the Tubo army that had entered the Kou, and the precarious Tang Dynasty once again survived the difficulties.

As the most effective general under Guo Ziyi, it is natural for Hun Ying to be entrusted with important tasks.

He was promoted to the crown prince's guest because of his military merits, and led his troops to garrison Fengtian (now Qianxian County, Shaanxi Province). Soon, Zhou Zhiguang, the history of Huazhou (now Huaxian County, Shaanxi Province), rebelled, and Hun Yang personally led 10,000 people to quell the rebellion.

The situation on the ground was quickly settled. At that time, Tibet was the most rampant enemy of the Tang Dynasty.

Hun Xuan, as the assassin of Bizhou (now Binxian County, Shaanxi Province), strictly guarded the west gate of the capital, so that the Tubo people had no chance to take advantage of it.

In 780 A.D., Tang Dezong succeeded to the throne, he made great efforts to change the passive situation of the central government, and the political situation was changing.

Tang Dezong relieved Guo Ziyi and his generals of military power, Hun Ming ascended and descended secretly, became the general of Zuo Jin Wuwei in the capital, and lived a quiet life. Tang Dezong began a drastic action in accordance with the established goal of cutting the domain. In the second year of the establishment of the Middle School (781 AD),

Chengde Jiedu made Li Baochen sick and died, his son Li Weiyue asked the court to succeed his father and son, and Wei Bojiedu made Tian Yue also help on the side, Tang Dezong was unmoved and resolutely refused Li Weiyue's request,

Li Weiyue was annoyed and angry, so he united with Wei Bojiedu to make Tian Yue, Ziqing Jiedu to make Li Zhengji, and Shannan Dongdao Jiedu to make Liang Chongyi raise troops against Tang. Soon after, Li Zhengji died, and his son also asked to inherit his father's throne.

was rejected by Tang Dezong, and since then, the war has been raging, and the soldiers have been fighting for five years. In the fourth year of Jianzhong, Huaixi (now Runan, Henan) made Li Xilie rebel.

Siege brother Shu Yao in Xiangcheng, the imperial court helpless, transferred Jingyuan (now Jingchuanbei, Gansu) soldiers to relieve the siege, unexpectedly, but caused a catastrophe.

Yao Lingyan led 5,000 men and horses to Chang'an in the rain, and the soldiers were about to go to the front line desperately, hoping to get a rich reward from the imperial court.

As a result, they were greeted by the coarse tea and light rice of the imperial court, and the sergeants were furious and rushed into the palace treasury.

Robbing the gold and silver wealth, Tang Dezong saw that the shape was not good, and hurriedly took his wife, concubines and children and fled to Fengtian (now Qianxian County, Shaanxi).

The Jingyuan soldiers committed the great crime of exterminating the nine clans, and they did not expect to be forgiven by the imperial court, so they simply invited Zhu Zhu, the imperial lieutenant who was idle at home, and supported him as the emperor of Great Qin. Zhu Jun understood,

If Tang Dezong, who had taken refuge in Mukden, was not eliminated, his regime would never have legitimacy, and he personally led a large army to attack Mukden City. (To be continued.) )
