Chapter 322 [Tang General 24]

An old woman submitted a petition to Dai Zhide, and Dai Zhide was about to write instructions, when the old woman suddenly asked the people left and right, "Is this person Liu Servant Shooting or Dai Servant Shooting", and others told her that this person was Dai Servant Shooting, and the old woman actually said,

"This is a servant who doesn't care about anything, tell him to return the complaint to me", Dai Zhide did not think it was upset, and asked the person to return the complaint to the old woman.

During Dai Zhide's tenure, he did not have such amazing achievements as Liu Renliang, nor was he good at words, but after his death, Tang Gaozong regretted it very much, "Since I lost Dai Zhide, I can no longer hear many opinions.

When he was alive, I did something wrong, and I never wanted to let go", Tang Gaozong took out all the previous pieces of Dai Zhide, and actually filled a full box, and the emperor cried while watching, and everyone understood Dai Zhide's life.

In the second year of Yifeng (677 AD), Tubo entered the Kou, and Liu Renliang was appointed as the ambassador of the Taohe River march to guard against the invasion of Tubo.

He wrote to Tang Gaozong many times and proposed a strategy for preparing for war, but he was suppressed by Li Jingxuan under the pretext of an excuse, and Liu Renliang was furious and decided to let Li Jingxuan plant a big fight.

Officialdom battles, intrigues and tricks, Liu Renliang is familiar with his chest, in comparison, Li Jingxuan, who is a little too rustic, is not his opponent at all.

Liu Renliang knew that Li Jingxuan was a literati and was not good at fighting, so he wanted to recommend Li Jingxuan to replace him, Li Jingxuan was quite self-aware, and tried his best to shirk this important responsibility, Tang Gaozong actually said,

"If Liu Renliang wants me to lead the troops, I have to go too, he wants you to go, how can you refuse", Li Jingxuan was dumb and ate Coptis chinensis, and he couldn't say anything about his suffering. had to go hard, replacing Liu Renliang as the general manager of Taohe Road and the ambassador of pacification. He also served as the governor of Shanzhou. In the third year of Yifeng (678 AD), the Tang army fought with Tubo. Li Jingxuan was lost, the Tang army was lost by more than half, and the black tooth Changzhi stood out in the battle and was promoted all the way.

Yan Guogong, who became the Tang Dynasty, reflected Liu Renliang's wisdom of knowing people, but the battle between Liu Renliang and Li Jingxuan. How many Tang Army soldiers were buried, it was "poor and uncertain riverside bones, like people in a spring boudoir dream".

Although Liu Renliang recommended people inappropriately, it did not affect Tang Gaozong's trust in him, and Liu Renliang was left and right above the court, as always.

In the second year of Yonglong (681 AD), he concurrently served as the crown prince and concubine. There is such a record in the "Chaoye Zai" that the Shaofu Supervisor Pei Bandit Shu Jian yƬ sold the horse manure and made a profit of 200,000 yuan a year. Tang Gaozong asked Liu Renliang's opinion,

Liu Renliang thinks that he can't leave the impression that the Tang Dynasty is mercenary for future generations, and this matter is a sure thing

Stop. It is recorded in the "Zizhi Tongjian" that Pei Kuanshu built an exquisite mirror hall for Tang Gaozong. On the day of its completion, Tang Gaozong invited Liu Renliang to watch it together. When Liu Renliang saw it, he hurriedly went down to the palace. Tang Gaozong was puzzled in his heart, and hurriedly asked the reason. Liu Renliang replied,

"There is no other day. There are no two monarchs in the country, I saw a few sons of heaven in the mirror just now, it is really a bad omen", his alarmist words immediately frightened Tang Gaozong, and the emperor immediately ordered people to remove all the mirrors around him.

Liu Renliang has been rolling in the officialdom all his life, and the idea of retiring bravely has arisen in his heart, he asked to retire and go home on the grounds of old age, and the emperor was reluctant.

Let him continue to exert his residual heat as the crown prince and the prince. In the first year of Hongdao (683 AD), Tang Gaozong died.

Empress Wu Zetian, who has been handling political affairs on behalf of Tang Gaozong for many years, seized the opportunity and stepped onto the stage of pro-government.

He asked Wu Zetian to resign with old age and decrepitude, and persuaded Wu Zetian not to repeat the mistakes of the past with the fact that the Lu Hou family of the Han Dynasty was in ashes, and Wu Zetian sent Wu Chenghei to appease him and make him a county prince. Liu Renliang was powerless to return to the sky, but he knew that the trend was to avoid trouble, and soon Wu Zetian was completely relieved of him.

Prime Minister Pei Yan advised Wu Zetian to return to the Li family, but was imprisoned by Wu Zetian on charges of rebellion. In order to test Liu Renliang's attitude, Wu Zetian sent Jiang Sizong from Luoyang to Chang'an.

Liu Renliang quickly figured out the ins and outs of the matter, but heard Jiang Sizong boast to himself, "I have long noticed that Pei Yan's actions are different", Liu Renliang asked, "You really already knew",

Jiang Sizong responded quickly, "Of course", Liu Renliang asked him to bring a piece of music to Wu Zetian, and after Wu Zetian saw the music, he immediately hanged Jiang Sizong, it turned out that Liu Renliang wrote on the music,

"Jiang Sizong had long known that Pei Yan was going to rebel, but he never reported it", and his life cleared Liu Renliang's suspicions.

In the first year of the vertical arch (685 AD), Wu Zetian opened a new official system.

Liu Renliang was appointed as the left minister of Wenchang and the third rank of Luantai of Tongfeng Pavilion. On March 2, 685, Liu Renliang died of illness at the age of eighty-four.

The imperial court posthumously presented him as the governor of the three divisions of the opening of the palace and the governor of the state, buried him in the Qianling Tomb, and gave his family 300 households.

Liu Renliang's son, Liu Junguan, went to the crown prince's house, hung the arch for two years, was framed by cool officials, was killed, and his wife was lost.

After Tang Zhongzong Li Xian was reinstated, because Liu Renliang was the former subordinate of the East Palace, he posthumously presented Liu Renliang as a captain. Liu Jun's son, Liu Mian, served as the secretary of the provincial junior eunuch during the Kaiyuan period.

He asked Tang Xuanzong to erect a monument to praise his grandfather Liu Renliang, and obtained the emperor's approval, and Liu Renliang's nickname was a document.

Throughout Liu Renliang's life, the most glorious highlight is the Battle of Baijiangkou, the far-reaching impact of this naval battle, I am afraid that even Liu Renliang himself did not expect.

The fire of Chinese culture has since been retained in Japan and Korea, and the descendants of China have not been good, so that the splendid rivers and mountains have twice fallen into the hands of foreign races, shaving hair and making it easy to wear, money rat tail, and the descendants of China have not remembered the clothing of their ancestors, to this day,

Whether we want to or not, we have to accept a painful conclusion, to understand the Tang culture, to see Japan, to understand the Ming culture, to see Korea, to understand the Tatar culture,

Looking at today's China, fortunately, Japan and South Korea let us see the style of our ancestors and follow their examples, perhaps, this is the opportunity for China to rise again?

The forest is dark and the grass is frightened, and the general draws the bow at night.

Ashnadur

"To survive or to ruin, this is a question worth pondering". This is a line from Shakespeare's famous book "Hamlet", whenever I read the biography of Ashina Sheer.

It reminds you of Hamlet's inner rivalry, and they are both noble-born princes. Hamlet is tormented for revenge, and when Ashina Sheer is slaughtering his compatriots for the alien,

There must have been inner confusion, who is he fighting for? For whom is he conquering those vast lands? Looking back at the history of the early Tang Dynasty, Ashina Sheer's life was shrouded in fog, faint, and people couldn't see it clearly.

First of all, which race does he belong to? There is no detailed record in the history books, on the Zhaoling Tomb Road in Liquan County, Shaanxi. It turned out that there was a stone statue of Ashina Sheer,

Now only the pedestal of white marble remains, according to the historical materials left by the predecessors, the stone statue of Ashina Sheer is the image of a high nose and deep eyes, which is very different from the people of the Central Plains, so it is more likely that he belongs to the Caucasian race.

Also, what year was he born? There is no relevant record in the old and new Tang books, but. The results of archaeology can roughly deduce his age.

In recent years, the epitaph of Ashina Mamo has been unearthed in Xi'an, Shaanxi, and Ashina Momo is the eldest son of Luo Khan of the Turkic Division, that is, the elder brother of Ashina Sheer. Ashina died in Zhenguan for twenty-three years, at the age of forty-three. Backwards, he should have been born in 606 AD, then.

As the younger brother, Ashina Sheer could only be born after 606 AD, from this. It can be roughly deduced that Ashina Sheer lived in his forties. It is recorded in the history books, "Year 11. Listen to wisdom and bravery", "Deal with Luo pawn, mourn like courtesy",

At that time, the Turks were prevalent in the "blood and tear sacrifice", that is, when the father died, the son used a knife to cut a series of paths on his face, expressing his grief, and under the passionate performance, he might also cut off his own ears as a sacrifice to the dead. However, Ashina Sheer later became a colt of the Tang Empire.

If his appearance is really ruined, Li Shimin will never marry his imperial sister to him, and in the end, Ashina Sheer's "mourning is like a ceremony" is a method of mourning, and the author is also confused by the historian.

Ashina Sheerbai was eleven years old when he was Tuo (Prince Tuo), and he built a large banner decorated with ivory in Mobei as a symbol of the tribal leader.

He and his cousin Jieli Khan's son, Desire, the Gul (Prince of Desire), each ruled over the Tiele, Hui, and Tongluo tribes.

As a noble prince, he did not seem to be infected with arrogance and lasciviousness, and did not collect taxes from the local area for ten years, and when others persuaded him to accumulate property, he calmly replied, "The tribe is abundant, and it is enough for me."

Such a lofty ideological realm made everyone under his command fear and love, thinking that he was a good leader. Ashina Sheer has repeatedly persuaded Jieli Khan not to use foreign troops, but Jieli Khan has turned a deaf ear.

In the ninth year of Tang Gaozu Wude (626 AD), Li Shimin, the king of Qin, launched the Xuanwumen Mutiny, killing the crown prince Li Jiancheng and the king of Qi Li Yuanji, as well as their ten sons.

Tang Gaozu Li Yuanchan was enthroned as Emperor Taishang, and Li Shimin was enthroned as Emperor Taizong of Tang. At this time, Jieli Khan thought that there was an opportunity,

He joined forces with the Turki Khan with 200,000 troops and entered the Koutang realm in a big way, and in the middle, it is likely that the prince Ashina Sheer participated. Although Wei Chi Jingde defeated the enemy army in Jingyang (now Jingyang, Shaanxi),

However, it failed to stop the Turkic offensive, and the army of Jieli Khan advanced all the way to the north bank of the Weishui Bridge. Jieli Khan sent a stubborn and thoughtless party to the Tang court to inquire about the truth and reality, and was instantly detained by Li Shimin.

Li Shimin only led six horsemen to gallop to the Weishui River, and severely reprimanded Jieli Khan for not keeping the covenant, the kind of kingly demeanor that although tens of millions of people have gone to me, it must have given the young Turkic prince a great shock.

The nomads have always worshiped the strong, and later Ashina Sheer defected to the Tang Dynasty and honestly guarded the palace ban for Li Shimin.

It is not abrupt to fight bloody battles for the Tang Dynasty. At this time, Tiele, Hui Hui, and Xue Yantuo took advantage of the fact that Jieli Khan was pouring out of the nest and Mobei's troops were empty, and they rebelled together, and Wanting Valley to lead troops to suppress it

, was defeated and fled, Ashina Sheer sent troops to fight, but he was not Xue Yantuo's opponent at all, he had to lead the remnants of Xibao Khan Futu City (now the northwest of Jimsar County, Xinjiang),

At the same time, the Tang Dynasty was accumulating strength, training warriors, and preparing to deal a degrading blow to the Eastern Turks.

In the fourth year of Zhenguan (630 AD), the Tang Dynasty Iron Cavalry Thunder attacked, and destroyed the invincible Eastern * Turkic Khanate in one fell swoop.

There have been no major wars on the northern border of the Tang Dynasty for decades. At this time, the struggle for the throne of the brothers of the Western Turkic Dulu Khan had entered a white-hot state.

The snipe and the clam competed, the fishermen benefited, and Ashina Sheer took the opportunity to capture nearly half of the territory of the Western Turks, with 100,000 people, and called himself Dubu Khan.

Ashina Sheer has not been able to swallow the evil breath of being defeated by Xue Yantuo, and his foothold is not stable, so he is ready to use troops against Xue Yantuo, the history books say,

"If you don't take peace and happiness from Yantuo, you forget the first Khan, and you are not filial", the reason for attacking Xue Yantuo is attributed to the filial piety of Ashina Sheer,

Most of them are based on the heart of Han historians, the belly of Turkic men, and the nomads have their own survival rules that are different from those of the Han people

There, the old and the noble, it is a matter of course to throw their relatives who have lost their ability to work into the ice and snow to feed the wolves, and no one will feel that there is anything wrong.

Although his tribal chiefs unanimously opposed the use of troops against Xue Yantuo, Ashina Sheer still insisted on going his own way.

In the end, the Western Turks became the world of the Khan, and Ashina Sheer defeated Gaochang (now the former site of Gaochang in the southeast of Turpan, Xinjiang), leaving only more than 10,000 remnants of the defeated army. The Western Turks are eyeing each other,

In the ninth year of Zhenguan (635 AD), he led his troops all the way east, took refuge in the Tang Empire, and began a new chapter in his life.

In the first month of the tenth year of Zhenguan (636 AD), Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, met with Ashina Sheer, placed his tribe in the north of Lingzhou, and gave Ashina Sheer quite generous treatment.

Ashina Sheer became the general of Zuo Xiaowei of the Tang Dynasty, married Li Yuan's nineteenth daughter, Princess Hengyang, and became the captain of the Tang Dynasty and the brother-in-law of Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.

And Ashina Sheer's own brother, Prince Yu Sheer, only married the Pingyi County Lord Li after entering the Tang Dynasty, it can be seen that Li Shimin has more like-mindedness towards Ashina Sheer, and it is like old at first sight.

He even allowed Ashina Sheer to carry a knife and a gun, and led his subordinates to defend himself, without the slightest fear that the past enemy would take the opportunity to turn back.

It's getting worse and worse in the future, hehe, too, there are so many famous generals in history, and the level of writing down is getting worse and worse.

Ashina Sheer has only fought one battle, and he is not a top player. As for Qin Shubao, he is playing the role of a bodyguard, is he a famous general? After Li Shimin took off his battle robe,

His bodyguards have all stayed away from the battlefield since then - the emperor's bodyguards to protect the famous general? The war in the Zhenguan years,

It is the world of Li Jing, Li Jihou, Junji, and again, some of the performance stages of Xue Wanche, Li Daozong and others, how can it not be Qin Shubao's turn.

As for Li Tangding, Qu Tutong and others have much more prominent records than Qin Shubao - they are also independent generals and not just bodyguards. (To be continued......)
