Xu Qinming's story is not over yet, so let's mention it here.

In addition, Xu Qinming is Xu Qin's younger brother.

Fourth appearance: Alliance with Don

Less than a month after betraying the Tang Dynasty, Mo Si came again, this time not to "Koubian", but for family affairs. Two family affairs, the first case, recognize relatives, recognize Wu Zetian as a godmother; The second case, proposing, proposed marriage for his daughter.

According to Chinese tradition, but all family affairs, there must be a dowry or something, Mo Si was very generous, he prepared two gifts, the first gift was to return the population of the Hexi region that originally returned to the Turks to the Tang Dynasty; Compared with the first gift, this second gift is what Wu Zetian needs most: "lead his subordinates to fight for the Khitan for the country."

Mo Si is really a talent, knows what the other party needs most, and can grasp the psychology of the target customer.

People like him, I think, are born in modern times, and they are definitely officialdom experts and shopping mall elites!

First of all, abandon grievances and entanglements, regardless of past suspicions, whether friend or foe, for the common good,

are able to look forward in unison;

Secondly, do what you like, and things will come. It's also one of the most in-demand skills for everyone right now, and there's a term for that skill – emotional intelligence.

Mo Si was about to attack the Khitan, which was completely unexpected by Sun Wanrong, and he was not mentally prepared for this sudden incident at all. Because Sun Wanrong couldn't find a sudden reason for this incident at all.

When the Khitan raised an army against the Tang Dynasty, the Turks were supportive, but now they have suddenly changed their hexagrams, which is really puzzling.

When Sun Wanrong was defenseless, Mo Si led his troops to raid the Khitan lair, defeated the Khitan army, and captured Li Quanzhong and Sun Wanrong's wife and children together.

Wu Zetian heard that the Khitan nest had been served, and he was overjoyed, and he entered the seal to sip silently for the great single Yu of the Jieluo and the Khan of meritorious service to the country.

In the end, the Turks were not the standing army of the Tang Dynasty, and it was impossible to obey the dispatch of the Tang Dynasty to use troops against the Khitan for a long time.

The consequences will be borne by Wu Zetian.

The nest was raided, his wife and children were arrested, Sun Wanrong was determined to take revenge, of course, he would never dare to settle accounts with Mosi, that was a master who could never be provoked. So, Sun Wanrong poured all his anger on Datang and began a crazy revenge action.

Sun Wanrong,...... Contributed to Jizhou, killed Shi Lu Baoji, and slaughtered thousands of people. ”

After that, the soldiers turned around and attacked Ying.

You can open the map and see where Jizhou and Yingzhou are located - the junction of Shandong and Hebei. Sun Wanrong actually regarded the heavy army group as nothing. Raise troops to go deep and make a big fuss about the weakly defended Hebei prefectures.

The scene of Di Renjie taking over as the assassin of Weizhou that we saw at the beginning of this part appeared at this time.

I am a big Tang Dynasty, can you make your Khitan so humiliated? Fool me into having no one in the court?

Time goes back to eighteen years ago, that is, in 678 AD, the third year of the Tang Dynasty.

Tibet, the capital, prisoner of war camp.

The Tibetan king Zanpu was patrolling here, where a large number of Tang officers and soldiers who had been captured in Dafeichuan were imprisoned.

With the strength of "not one ten-thousandth of China", I defeated Datang twice in a row at the same location. In the first battle of Dafeichuan, he defeated the famous general Xue Rengui and annihilated 50,000 Tang troops; This time the victory was even greater, in the face of the 180,000 Tang army, our Tubo still won, and captured a large number of officers and soldiers under its Ministry of Works, General Zuowei, and Liu Xianli, the Duke of Pengcheng.

As the victorious king, when he patrolled the prisoner of war camp full of trophies and prisoners, I believe he was full of spirit and smile.

In the face of victory, it has always been like this, and everyone is!

However, when the king of Tibet saw one of the prisoners of war, he immediately restrained his smile, and his expression gradually became solemn, and there was a hint of respect in his expression, changing the way he had just talked and laughed.

The attendants who followed were surprised, they didn't know what kind of character this prisoner of war was, who could make his Zampu so respectful!

What surprised the attendants even more was the next scene, after staring at the prisoner of war for a few seconds, the king of Tibet, Zanpu Chidu Songzan, suddenly burst into tears, and walked forward while crying, holding the prisoner's shoulders with both hands, and looking up and down carefully.

The most surprising thing was this Tang army prisoner of war, this sudden incident made him at a loss, and he himself was inexplicable, what happened to the king of Tubo? Why is it like seeing me like my own father is dead? He fell into deep doubts......

Soon, when the prisoner of war heard a slurred sentence uttered by the king of Tibet in his great cry, he was no longer puzzled—"I look like my father," the king of Tibet said as he cried.

It turns out that he looks like the father of the king of Tibet. The king of Tubo continued: "My father died two years ago, and you look very much like him, when I see you, I think of my father, I can't help but feel sad when I see people's feelings. ”

Shh......h The king of Tubo is really dead.

After that, the king of Tubo took the prisoner from the prisoner of war camp to live in the palace, and treated him as his own father, and entertained him with delicious food and drink, and his attitude was very respectful! ("Salute thickly.")

This prisoner of war was eating and drinking well in Tubo like this, living a life like "Emperor Taishang", although he was a prisoner, but because he had a competitive face, not only did he not suffer hardships, but he was also respected by the king of Tubo all the time.

Usually, whenever the king of Tubo misses his father, he comes to see him, "when he laughs, he looks like his father, and when he doesn't smile, he looks like his father when he leaves."

This is not to blame the king of Tubo, in that era, the level of painting in Tubo was very average, and there was no "posthumous photo" or the like, there was such a "posthumous photo" like a living person, and it was much more convenient to worship.

A few years later, the prisoner of war was released by the king of Tubo and sent back to the Tang Dynasty (found to return).

After all, although he looks like his father, he is not his father in the end, and it is not a matter of staying here all the time, besides, with the passage of time, the king of Tubo is not a child anymore, and his thoughts about his ancestors are not as strong as at the beginning.

This lucky prisoner of war is called: Wang Xiaojie. At that time, he was the deputy governor of the Tao River in the Tang Dynasty's counterattack against Tubo, and was defeated and captured in the Battle of Dafeichuan.

Wang Xiaojie's resume

Name: Xiaojie Wang

Year of birth: c. 632

Career Experience:

In 678 A.D., the deputy commander of the Taohe Road March, followed Liu Xianli to counterattack the entry of Tubo;

Wu Ze***, the right eagle Yang Wei general;

In 692 AD, the head of the march of Wuwei Road, the general of the left guard (Zheng Sanpin);

In 693 A.D., Xia Guan (Military Department) Shangshu, Tongfeng Pavilion Luantai Sanpin (Prime Minister), knighted Qingyuan male;

In 694 A.D., the commander of the Hanhaidao march army attacked the Turks;

In the first month of 695 A.D., the head of the Shuofang Road march and attacked the Turks again;

In July 695, the general manager of the Subian Road march counterattacked the Tibetan invasion;

In March 696, he was defeated by the hands of Tubo at the hands of Surokhan Mountain and was demoted to a commoner.

Major achievements:

After the recovery of 670, the four towns of Anxi fell into Tibet twice, so that the Tang Dynasty restored the Anxi Protectorate in Qiuci; Other exploits, such as the defeat of the Turks and the war against Tibet, are much more palpable than the recovery of the four towns of Anxi, so they will not be introduced.

Now Wang Xiaojie has been demoted to a common man and has nothing to do. For a general who used to be handsome and had outstanding military achievements, this kind of day is the most boring and difficult.

This kind of day is not what I want, what I want is a battlefield of Xiao killing.

The lonely smoke of the desert and the hunting of military flags are the scenery I yearn for the most;

The neighing of horses and the roaring of war drums are the music I look forward to the most;

Galloping horses, charging into battle, swords colliding, and blood-soaked robes can make my blood boil;

At that time, the British prince Li Shiqian was 74 years old and led his troops to destroy Goguryeo, and I was only 64 years old, did my life end in this way?

The defeat of Surokhan Mountain, the reputation of his life was ruined in the First World War, and the success was also Tubo, and the defeat was also Tubo!

I disappointed the person who trusted me, I failed her, and even more so countless Tang Dynasty soldiers!

If I can have another chance, I am willing to go into battle again for this empire, defend the border and quell the rebellion, expand the territory, and have no regrets until I die!

For myself, for the Empire, I do!

God is destined not to let Wang Xiaojie leave it for life, and the empire has provided him with another chance, the last chance.

At the end of 696 AD, Wang Xiaojie, who was bored at home, received an order from the imperial court: the Khitan penetrated deep into the territory of Hebei Province and plundered on a large scale. From now on, Wang Xiaohui will be appointed as the head of the Qingbian Road march, and a total of 170,000 troops including Su Honghui, the deputy commander, will attack the Khitan!

I know that Wu Sansi and Wu Youyi are not generals, only because they are members of the emperor's Wu clan, they can rest assured that they will be given military power.

Zhang Xuanyu's "Twenty-Eight General Army" used to be the hope of the saint, but in the end she was disappointed.

I can't let her down again.

Do your best and move forward! Even if the horse leather shroud, I have no regrets even if I die!

Wang Xiaojie set off with an army of 170,000 and the hope of the emperor, towards the army that devoured my hundreds of thousands, and set off towards the seemingly invincible goal!

Wu Zhoutian's golden ** Holy Emperor Wu Zetian was reviewing the chapter submitted by Guan Ji Zhang Shuo: "Xiaojie Zhong died bravely, but he was sincere to serve the country, went deep into the Kou realm, and used a small number of people, but he could not support him, so he was defeated." Filial piety is the heart of the country, dare to go deep, to be less in public, although defeated, the merit can be recorded. ”

Wu Zetian grieved, and ordered Wang Xiaojie to be posthumously presented as Xia Guanshangshu and Geng Guogong.

This qiē all happened after the big war half a month ago.

※Dong Kip Stone Valley

A.D. 697, the first year of Wuzhou Shengong, spring, March, Wushen (12th), East Kip Stone Valley.

Wang Xiaojie, the general manager of the Qingbian Road march, led an army of 170,000 to march here, and here, the Tang army and the Khitan encountered again.

Five months ago, Zhang Xuanyu's "Twenty-Eight Generals' Army" was lured into an ambush circle by Li Qianzhong's design in the West Kip Stone Valley, which is adjacent to the East Kip Stone Valley, and the whole army was wiped out.

Wang Xiaojie, as a veteran with rich experience in fighting against Yi, knows the reasons for Zhang Xuanyu's defeat, first, he is so greedy for merit and underestimates the enemy; second, the rear army was abandoned, the lone army went deep, and the Tang army was annihilated one by one;

In the past five months, the Khitan has seen the world that the whole army must now have no idea of underestimating the enemy! Underestimating the enemy? If you are not afraid of the enemy, you can count it as Amitabha. Wang Xiaojie is very relieved at this point, as long as there is no idea of underestimating the enemy, the army will advance step by step, steadily and steadily, and gradually advance, forgive you tens of thousands of people in the Khitan District, and I can't help my 170,000 army!

The terrain of the East Kip Stone Valley is similar to that of the West Kip Stone Valley, both of which are narrow canyons, which are not conducive to the movement of large corps.

When the front army reported that when the Khitan army encountered in Gukou, Wang Xiaojie was not as excited as Zhang Xuanyu and others, the terrain here is extremely unfavorable to me, why did the Khitan army appear here again?

Ambush our army?

Sun Wanrong is not so stupid, can the same trick be effective when used twice?

I, Wang Xiaojie, am not so stupid, I will be calculated by you lightly!

But why did the Khitan appear here? You want to say it's a chance encounter? I don't believe it either.

It is reported that the former army encountered the elite of the Khitan army, if the Khitan wants to continue to ambush and lure me into the valley, how can they send the elite? It is reasonable to send some old, weak, sick and disabled!

All indications show that the Khitan is not an ambush, but to rely on the narrow terrain to block our army.

Kip Stone Valley, is the Tang Dynasty to the Khitan road, the Tang army captured here, advance can attack, retreat can defend, the strategic initiative will be in the hands of the Tang army, when the troops are sufficient, fully prepared, you can go to the Khitan to hang around, stir it up; When the troops are insufficient and poorly prepared, they can rely on the favorable terrain to block the Khitan army from entering Hebei Province.

This is a dangerous point for a husband to be closed, and the soldiers must seize the land.

Wang Xiaojie knows the importance here, and Sun Wanrong must also know it.

Friends who have watched the movie "Spartan 300 Warriors" will understand that the terrain here (Kip Stone Valley) is similar to the hot spring valley in the movie compared to the Tang and Khitan sides, as long as the hot spring valley is held, 300 dozen 500,000 is definitely not a myth!

Friends who have watched "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" will know better, here (Kip Stone Valley) is similar to Shanhaiguan, no matter how you Nurhachi and Huang Taiji have both wisdom and bravery, and can fight well, if you can't take Shanhaiguan, your Qing army can only look at the pass and sigh.

Don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case!

Prepare for the worst, prepare for the best.

Wang Xiaojie decided to personally lead the elite soldiers as the vanguard, attack and advance, and then the deputy governor Su Honghui led the main force to follow up, and responded before and after, if the Khitan really had an ambush, then Su Honghui's rear army would be the final defeat of the Khitan army.

The 65-year-old Wang Xiaojie did not lose the courage of the year, personally led the elite soldiers, went into battle, and fought forward.

Even if it is the tiger's den in Longtan, it must also break through.

Under the fierce offensive of the brave Tang army, the Khitan army's position wavered, could not be stopped, and began to slowly retreat.

If the enemy retreats, I'll advance!

Wang Xiaojie became murderous and led the elite Tang army to chase after him step by step......

After chasing, the Tang army came to the edge of a cliff.

However, the Khitan army seems to have regained its foothold, and no matter how the Tang army attacks, the Khitan army will not move! (To be continued.) )
