Xue Rengui has become a common man, and he is by no means like making up nonsense in the novel, saying that Li Daozong designed to frame Zhongliang, so that Zhongliang was in trouble. Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, was both civil and military, heroic and cool, and had a good review in the history books, but he was accused of a great crime by sour and rotten Confucianism for no reason.

In fact, Xue Rengui is also a talented scholar, which may be because the hands of the declining clan do not release the volume, ""Zhou Yi Xin Note Guyi" fourteen volumes, written by Xue Rengui", a soldier-born military general commented on the ancient books of the pre-Qin Dynasty such as "Zhou Yi", even in the culturally prosperous environment of the Tang Dynasty, it will make people fall through the glasses.

According to the unspoken rules of officialdom, some people are people in the circle, some people are people outside the circle, and Xue Rengui is a person in the emperor's circle. When Goryeo rebelled, Xue Rengui became the governor of Jilindao, returned to Liaodong, and then took military power.

In the last Yuan year, he was convicted of breaking the law in Liaodong, exiled to Xiangzhou, and pardoned by the emperor. The Northern Expedition to Tiele had nine surnames, surrendered to Goryeo to the east, and obeyed the indoctrination of Hanbei and Liaodong, all of which are your credits.

Some people say that you delayed the fighter plane under Wuhai City, resulting in the defeat of our army, and what I regret in my life is this matter, now the west is restless, and the trade routes of Guazhou and Shazhou are cut off, how can you lie in the countryside by yourself and not solve problems for the court? ”

In the first year of Kaiyao (681 AD), Xue Rengui was named the governor of Guazhou, and soon he was awarded the right leading army to lead the general of the guard, and the governor of the inspection school, and went to Yunzhou (now Datong, Shanxi) to attack the Turkic Ashina Yuanzhen. The Turks asked in front of the battle, "What is the surname of General Tang?" The other party replied, "Xue Rengui."

The Turks asked, "I heard that Xue Rengui was exiled to Xiangzhou and has died, how can the dead be resurrected?" Xue Rengui took off his helmet and let the Turks see it clearly. When the Turkic warriors saw it clearly, they looked at each other. Slip away.

Xue Rengui led the army in pursuit, broke the enemy army, beheaded more than 10,000 people, and captured 20,000 people. There are also more than 30,000 camels, horses, cattle and sheep.

In the second year of Yongchun (683 AD), Xue Rengui died, and he gave Zuo Xiaowei the general and the governor of Youzhou, and the government specially created Lingyu to escort him back to his hometown. Extremely glorious.

Xue Rengui has a son Xue Ne, who is brave and silent, "his use of soldiers, facing the enemy and becoming stronger", the achievement is no less than that of his father, after several dynasties of Zhongzong, Ruizong, Wuzhou, and Xuanzong, he has guarded the border for decades, and has kept the country and the people safe, quite the shadow of Xue Dingshan in the novel, but what Fan Lihua and the plot of three abandonment and three invitations. But it is a shadowless thing, and it belongs to the groundless wind in history.

However, Xue Rengui's grandson Xue Song is quite similar to Xue Gang in "Xue Gang Against the Tang Dynasty", he is "heroic, unwilling to make profits, and riding and shooting himself with his strength", after the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion, he actually joined Shi Chaoyi's rebels and became a rebellious minister and thief, but he was able to do it in time. Attached to the Tang Dynasty,

Become the festival envoy who dominates the party, "Song is dedicated to his duties, and he is quite famous". In the end, he was honorably buried as a Taibao, which drew a perfect end to his legendary life.

"Red Line Thief Box" in the Tang Dynasty legend tells the story of Xue Song sending a female chivalrous guest who flies on the wall to scare Tian Chenghe, the envoy of Jiedu.

Xue Rengui in the opera has changed from an indomitable and commanding brave general in history to an old white face who relies on an angel face and a devil figure to coax women to do their best and selfless dedication, reflecting the gradual shrinking process of the spiritual world of Han men. is like the male protagonist in the opera, who has been away for 18 years and has not cared about it, and when he comes back, he is most concerned about whether his wife who is alone in the cold kiln is hooked up.

Then the tragic fate of the Han nation followed, they were expelled, slaughtered, and became slaves and coats of foreign races, and they could no longer stand up to the once noble backbone and once proud head.

When it comes to Han men, people will think of Xu Xian, who shares an umbrella with the White Lady by the West Lake in Hangzhou, he is more gentle than the spring water in the south of the Yangtze River, and they will think of An Gongzi in "The Legend of Children's Heroes".

History blurs the figure of the past, people no longer know what the men of the Tang Dynasty looked like, in fact, their shadows can be found everywhere in Tang poems, "The moon is black and the geese fly high, and they flee at night." If you want to chase away the light horse, the snow is full of bows and knives", this is the man of Datang, this is the momentum of Datang.

The past and present life of the Gaomen Shi clan

In the past, except for the textbooks that had to be read, I never paid attention to the traditional historical classics. In his confusion, he thought that the traditional Chinese landlord was the Zhou Paopi in the novel, the rooster crowed in the middle of the night, forcing the poor hired peasants to work hard for him day and night, and thought that the Chinese aristocracy was Jia Baoyu in "Dream of Red Mansions", making rouge gouache for his sisters and sisters, and chanting poetry in the Grand View Garden.

Later, I watched a lot of foreign movies reflecting World War I, World War II and the Victorian era, and I had a strong shock in my heart again and again.

Without hesitation, even if the ammunition and food are exhausted, even if the enemy's tank is less than a meter away from him, he must hold his position and never retreat.

Later, after reading the relevant historical classics, I learned that as early as before the First World War, the Junker aristocracy in Germany was basically a military aristocracy, and in the imperial era, princes, princes, and children of nobles all enlisted in the army.

Wine and food are only paid half price, the state provides for you to provide for the elderly, and after death for you, the military is undoubtedly the most glorious profession in the society at that time, according to the principle of equal rights and obligations, the military must also pay the greatest price for the honor of the soldier. As the soul of the army, the German officers resemble the Spartans in history,

No matter how noble the background is, he will not stay in the "Grand View Garden" to be pampered, often sent to the junior military academy by his parents at the age of **, for strict military training, and then enter the senior military academy and military academy to continue his studies, through the arduous practical training and long-term training of the General Staff, only to cultivate batches of outstanding moral officers,

Even if Germany after World War II was full of devastation and ruins, in just a few decades, it stood up again, because its backbone did not fall, and it became a first-class developed country in the world.

Looking back at the past, how many nation-states have been wiped out in the competition for survival of the jungle, while the Germanic nation is still young, which makes people feel that "the heroes of the world are the opponents".

When I finally calmed down and slowly read the Book of the Later Han Dynasty and the Book of the Old Tang Dynasty. There was a sense of déjà vu, and then there was a tearful touch.

In the cold wind of the lonely city outside the Saiwai, Geng Gong closed the city and defended himself, "When the Huns are gone." For tens of thousands, months and years, the heart is exhausted", surrounded by a group of hu, surrounded by iron buckets. The Xiongnu Shan Yu sent an envoy to sù Geng Gong. "If he descends, he shall be crowned the king of the white house, and his wife shall be a woman." Geng Gong pulled the Xiongnu envoy to the head of the city and killed it with his own hands.

Just in the anger, it is more beneficial for the soldiers to surround Gong, and they can't go down", the reinforcements of the Han finally came belatedly and rescued the loyal ministers and righteous men of the Han Dynasty. When Geng Gong and the soldiers defending the city returned to Yumen Pass, they were described as withered, dressed and worn, and there were only thirteen people left.

(Geng Gong was born in a famous family and is the nephew of the famous general Geng Yi.) Geng Yi is the founder of the Eastern Han Dynasty and is one of the "28 generals of Yuntai").

The Tang Empire reached the stormy Tang Dynasty period, and the peasant rebel army entered Chang'an City under the leadership of Huang Chao, slaughtered all the clans, killed innocents, and the Tang Dynasty reached the last moment when the building was about to fall. Fengxiangjiedu, who was born in a high-ranking scholar clan, sent an oath of allegiance written in his own blood to Tang Xizong.

led the Tang army to fight a bloody battle with the Huangchao army at Longweipo (east of Qishan County, Shaanxi), and let the Huangchao army ambush 20,000 corpses in one battle. reversed the decline on the battlefield in one fell swoop, and failed to make Huang Chao "suitable for the rest of the brave to chase the poor" and sit firmly on the throne of the emperor of the Great Qi regime.

Later, Tang Xizong summoned Li Keyong's Shatuo army to raise troops to Qinwang, repeatedly broke the peasant army, and let the Huangchao army ambush the corpses for dozens of miles in the first battle, and embarked on the final end of the road. For Huang Chao, a peasant leader who was born as a "smuggler of salt". We should rejoice in his demise.

After he occupied Guangzhou, 120,000 Arab and South Asian merchants who had been doing business here for generations were slaughtered by the peasant army.

Of course, Huang Chao hated the nobles, but he just hated that he couldn't become a nobleman, as evidenced by the fact that after he occupied Chang'an, the concubines were all noble women.

It's hard to imagine an uprising leader who put people in stone mortars to smash and use them as military rations, a leader of an uprising who could kill 3,000 literati for a single poem,

A leader of the uprising who washed Chang'an with blood and almost led the people to the end of his life will become a good emperor who is benevolent and loves the people, and will let the people of Li live a happy and peaceful life, compared to the emperor surnamed Li in the Tang Dynasty,

Huangchao will only be more vicious and brutal, bringing more chaos and pain to the people of Limin, and the mainstays who can clearly understand this and defend the Tang Dynasty to the death, such as Prime Minister Zheng Zheng and others, are precisely from the Gaomen clan (Zheng Zheng If he is willing to surrender to Huangchao, he can also be a big official).

At the critical moment of the Tang Empire, they fought hard to dedicate their loyalty to the monarch and people of the Tang Dynasty with firm faith and courageous actions.

The Tang Empire was able to overcome difficulties and obstacles many times, and the elite government played a decisive role, as the elite of the Tang Dynasty, the scholars were the outstanding group of the Tang Empire, from Pei Duping Huaixi, to Li Deyuping and Liu Zhi, showing the outstanding governing ability of the Tang Dynasty scholars everywhere.

"If the thief is destroyed, there will be a period towards the sky; If the thief is there, he will return to the sun", the bold words promised by Pei Du, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, have become the Pinghuai West Monument that has been passed down through the ages. "Eight hundred lonely cold tears together, looking south to Li Yazhou for a while", even if Li Deyu, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, was exiled to Lingnan, his political enemies could not erase the heartfelt support of the poor people.

The scholars of the Tang Dynasty are like the solid pillars of the magnificent palace, supporting the glory of the Tang Empire for 300 years, they are like the military aristocracy of the British "era when the sun never sets", they are like the Junker aristocracy of Germany on the eve of World War I, and they are like the famous sons of famous families in the United States during World War II (such as John. Kennedy), firm and persistent, courageously moving forward, created the most glorious era in Chinese history.

Perhaps only such a figure can create a glorious history, so the military aristocracy of the Tang Dynasty and the military aristocracy of Britain and Germany show amazing commonalities, and Wang Fangyi, a famous Tang general from the Taiyuan Wang family, is one of the outstanding representatives.

"Youth's Walk"

Xinfeng wine fights ten thousand, how many years has Xianyang Ranger. The meeting spirit is the king's drink, and the horse is a high-rise weeping willow side.

Born in Shihan Yulinlang, he first fought Yuyang with hussars. I don't know how to suffer from the side court, and I still smell the fragrance of chivalrous bones when I die.

This is also from the Taiyuan Wang family Wang Wei wrote a famous article, vividly depicting the vigorous social style of that era, "rather for the centurion, better than a scholar", Tang Dynasty men rushed to join the military, to make meritorious contributions, thousands of miles of marquis for the greatest glory in life (Britain to this day still retains the practice of awarding lords to those who have made outstanding contributions to the country), Wang Fangyi was Pei Xingjian's eyesight, Shun lì achieved his life ideals.

In the first year of Tiaolu (679 AD), the ten Western Turkic khans surnamed Ashina Duzhi and Beshuai Li Shalu united with the Tubo people to enter the Anxi Protectorate, and the Tang Dynasty planned to send troops to levy.

He became the appeasement envoy appointed by the imperial court to escort the Persian prince back to China to succeed to the throne, and at the request of Pei Xingjian, Wang Fangyi served as the deputy envoy of the trip. When a cadre passed by Xizhou, where Pei Xingjian worked, he suddenly summoned thousands of Haojie's children to follow them to the west, and in the name of hunting and recreation,

Nearly 10,000 Hu people from the four towns of Qiuzi, Bisha, Yanqi and Shule were gathered, and quickly approached the camp of the Ashina Duzhi, and when the Ashina Duzhi hesitated, he captured the Ashina Duzhi and his sons and nephews in one fell swoop.

The two wise and brave generals of the Tang Dynasty did not fight bloodlessly, relied on the local aborigines, and completed the purpose of this trip, which is similar to the blitzkrieg of the German Manstein plan to go off the rails and make a forced landing on the French government, and the Tang army avoided a bloody war in this way.

Ashina Duzhi and others were escorted back to Chang'an by Pei Xingjian, and Wang Fangyi stayed in the local area as the inspector of Anxi to build the military town of Broken Leaf City. It took more than 50 days to build the Broken Leaf City, "there is still a lot of fun to enter and exit", and the Hu people of the Western Regions have come to visit, "unpredictable strategy, all offer treasures".

Building a city, for Wang Fangyi, is originally a mastery, because he has been a doer since he was a child, and the general who can fight is also a down-to-earth builder.

Wang Fangyi's Taiyuan Wang family (Qixian Wang family) was a first-class high-ranking family in the Tang Dynasty, and the momentum was so strong that even the emperor was red-eyed and warm-hearted.

In the fourth year of Tang Gaozong's reign (659), the imperial court issued an edict prohibiting the Taiyuan Wang family, Xingyang Zheng family, Qinghe Cui family, Fanyang Lu family, etc. from "self-marriage" and meddle in the marriage of Shandong scholars. (To be continued.) )
