Hei Tooth Changzhi made new contributions and was promoted to Yan Guogong.

In the third year of the reign of Emperor Wu of the Tang Dynasty (687 AD), the Later Turks continued to invade the border and harassed the Hedong and Hebei regions.

Wu Zetian appointed Heiya Changzhi as the general manager of the Yanran Road march, and fought with the Turkic army in Huanghuadui (now the northeast of Shanyin County, Shanxi), killing the enemy and falling into the army, the Tang army pursued for forty miles, and the Turkic army had to be defeated and taken to the north of the Moraine (north of the Mongolian Desert).

The great military exploits have made the name of the Black Tooth Chang famous all over the world, and also made the Black Tooth Changzhi the object of attention of the cool officials. In order to crack down on the Li Tang clan, Wu Zetian made a big deal of cool officials, promoted the style of whistleblowing, and established his prestige, and even many Hu chieftains were implicated.

At that time, there was a servant girl who could sing and dance in the family of the chief of Xibo, Ashina Hu Sero, who was taken by the Junchen and wanted to take it for himself, so he asked his party to frame Ashina Hu Sero for rebellion.

The fate of the Goguryeo prince Quan Xiancheng was even more tragic, "Lai Junchen begged for money to be in the left guard general Quan Xiancheng, but he couldn't, he was falsely accused of rebellion and imprisoned." Yihai, hang and kill", asking for bribes can not harm people's lives, no wonder these cool officials did not die well later, and they were all used by Wu Zetian and sent to hell.

"(Zhou) Xing and Suo Yuanli, Lai Junchen competed for the violent carving, Xing, Yuanli killed thousands of people, Junchen broke more than a thousand families", in the reckless behavior of the cool officials, thousands of royal relatives and ministers of the current dynasty made a tragic disaster, even the newborn baby could not escape a death, this is the most tragic scene of that stormy era.

Heizhi Changzhi was imprisoned because of Zhou Xing's framing, and the crime was Wu Zetian's most hated statement, trying to restore the Li Tang royal family, so Heizhi Changzhi could only go to prison, and in the face of the outrageous persecution of the cool officials, Heizhi Changzhi chose death, in this way to retain his last bit of dignity.

On the surface, Hei Tooth Changzhi was killed by Wu Zetian, but in essence, he was killed by the political system at that time. The army is the emperor's army, and the loyalty of the soldiers is the emperor's most worrying issue. As long as the emperor is suspicious of the loyalty of the generals, the generals often die without a place to be buried, and the cycle repeats.

I can't always get out of the mode of killing heroes. Or simply rebel like Guo Wei and let himself sit on the throne in person. The modern democratic system has established the principle that military personnel do not interfere in politics, and the army can only be loyal to the country.

Instead of obeying the Führer, the army is used to defend the homeland and the country. Rather than the Führer's personal armies, this advanced political system protected not only the common people, but also the military themselves. The Führer did not cover the power of life and death, so naturally there would be no tragedy like the Black Tooth Tsuneyuki.

The transition from "the family in the world" to the "country in the world" is really a great progress in human history, and the abolition of the concept of "the palace and the palace are all one" can avoid the tragedy of the innocent killing of soldiers to the greatest extent.

Li Sheng

The Tang Empire has always admired military merit and attached great importance to the gate valve system, so a large number of famous children from famous families who were born in the warrior clan and are brave and good at fighting stand out. built the unparalleled glory of Datang,

Li Sheng, the king of Xiping County, is one of the outstanding representatives, he was born in the Li clan of Longxi, who was ranked among the high-ranking scholars, and with his loyalty and courage, he rebuilt the Tang Empire and became a Tang general who went down in history.

Regarding Li Shengqi person, he has left a lot of allusions in history. During the reign of Tang Dezong, Zhang Guangsheng followed Zhu Zhu to rebel, and later saw that the Tang army was strong, and surrendered to Li Sheng. Li Sheng asked Tang Dezong to pardon Zhang Guangsheng. was sternly rejected by the emperor, Zhang Guangsheng was finally executed according to the law, Zhang Guangsheng regretted it too much, and said when he was about to be executed. "Future generations should remember that either they don't do it, or they do it to the end",

This is where the later "don't do it, don't stop it" comes from. Li Sheng was at odds with Zhang Yansheng, the prime minister at the time of Dezong, and was framed by Zhang Yansheng in many ways, and the emperor ordered the two to reconcile. Zhang Yansheng never let go, Li Sheng was very emotional, "The martial artist is straightforward, and if he releases his grievances in the glass of wine, he will no longer be in his chest;

It is not as difficult for a scribe to commit, although he is reconciled on the outside, he regrets on the inside", which vividly expresses the gloom of the civil officials of the current dynasty and later generations, but since the Song Dynasty, the emphasis has been on literature and military suppression, and the glory of the Tang Empire's expansion of territory will no longer reappear.

Li Sheng's Shinto monument was written by Pei Du and Liu Gongquan wrote articles, and is known as the three unique monuments of literature, calligraphy, and affairs.

According to the content of the inscription, Li Sheng's great-grandfather Li Song, gave the history of Taozhou Thorn, his grandfather Li Sigong, gave the governor of Youzhou, and his father Li Qin, who was the general of Zuojin Wuwei and the deputy envoy of Longyou Jiedu Jingluo before his death, and gave the prince Taibao after his death.

Li Sheng was born in this kind of martial arts military family, and followed his father to practice martial arts riding and archery since he was a child, rain or shine, and exercised an outstanding skill.

Li Sheng was born in the year of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, a native of Lintan, Taozhou, with a height of 1.80 meters, and was a heroic and handsome general of the Tang Army.

When he reached the age of eighteen, he served under the command of Wang Zhonghe, the envoy of Hexi Jiedu, a fierce Tubo general killed a lot of Tang soldiers, Li Sheng shot him to death with an arrow, "the three armies rejoiced", Wang Zhongsi stroked the young man's back, and exclaimed, "What a ten thousand enemies", Li Sheng became famous in a battle. Later, because of the repeated Qiang people and party members, in the early years of Guangde, he was promoted to Taichangqing.

In the early years of the Great Calendar, he personally led a thousand cavalry to break the Tubo army, captured the enemy commander, and relieved the siege of Lingzhou. He rescued Ma Lan, who was besieged by Tubo, and was named the king of Hechuan County by the imperial court

Returning to the imperial court, Li Sheng became Tang Dezong's personal general (the right god of the capital).

At that time, Tubo attacked Jiannan, Jiedu made Cui Ning not in office, the border pass was critical, Li Sheng led the Shence army to fly across the Guanshan, connected three cities, beheaded thousands of people, and the Tubo people fled in panic.

In the second year of Jianzhong, Wei Bojie made Tian Yue rebel, Li Sheng and Ma Sui and Li Baozhen attacked together, Tian Yue was defeated, and under the great shape shì, Zhaozhou was besieged, endangering Xingzhou, Li Baozhen divided 2,000 troops to Xingzhou to defend, which caused Ma Sui's misunderstanding.

Ma Sui thought that Li Baozhen was unwilling to go all out to break the enemy, only to preserve his strength, and was ready to lead his soldiers to leave, Li Sheng quickly cleared up the misunderstanding for the two, and maintained the sincere unity of the Tang army camp.

Speaking of the cause of this catastrophe, it turned out to be due to the reward given to the 5,000 Jingyuan soldiers. In fact, Tang Dezong's imperial treasury was well stocked, and it was not a problem at all to give generous rewards to the soldiers who were about to go to the front.

Before this, he personally handled the rich dowries for the eleven married royal women (the lord of Yueyang County and others), and he could not be regarded as stingy.

The Jingyuan soldiers saw that they were about to go into battle desperately, but Tang Dezong used coarse tea and light rice to send himself away, and he was furious. Then he mutinied and rushed into the treasury to grab things, Tang Dezong was caught off guard, and only took his wife, concubines and children to flee for his life. On the way, ministers came to escort them one after another.

Li Sheng was anxious when he learned that the emperor was in trouble, but Jiedu made Zhang Xiaozhong because of the strong enemy, and prevented him from traveling with troops several times.

In order to win Zhang Xiaozhong's trust, Li Sheng left a son to serve as Zhang Xiaozhong's son-in-law. When Zhang Xiaozhong's cronies visited him. He untied the jade belt and gave it away, and finally got Zhang Xiaozhong's approval. When Li Sheng led his troops to Daizhou, he became the envoy of the Shence Battalion. They soon rushed to Weibei and garrisoned the East Weiqiao Bridge, and did not commit any crimes in the autumn.

At that time, the general Liu Dexin was defeated and retreated to Weinan, and his troops plundered, Li Sheng beheaded Liu Dexin and took over Liu Dexin's troops.

At this time, Chang'an City had been turned upside down, and Taiwei Zhu Zhu was embraced as the leader of the Jingyuan soldiers and brazenly proclaimed himself emperor. In order to extinguish the expectations of the public. actually killed seventy-seven sons and grandsons of the emperor surnamed Li.

Reinforcements from all walks of life rushed to Fengtian (now Qianxian County, Shaanxi) where Tang Dezong took refuge, and the rebels stepped up their attacks, using a giant cloud ladder to attack the city. Shuo Fang Jiedu made Li Huaiguang lead the army to arrive, and broke Zhu Jun's army, and Tang Dezong turned the corner.

Zhu Jun's army retreated to Chang'an, and Tang Dezong asked Li Huaiguang to take advantage of the victory to break the enemy.

Li Huaiguang led the army to the disaster. I didn't even have the opportunity to meet the emperor, and I was immediately very dissatisfied, and I had the idea of raising my own self-respect (the enemy was eliminated, and I lost the value of use). The front door of the court drove the tiger, and the back door entered the wolf.

Shuofang's army garrisoned Xianyang and joined forces with Li Sheng. Li Sheng urged Li Huaiguang, "The rebels are entrenched in the capital, and the Son of Heaven is taking refuge, so now we should hurry up and march into the army." I would like to act as a vanguard against the rebels. Go to the soup and fight the fire, and never give up", Li Huaiguang perfunctory, that is, he refused to enter the army.

The Shuo Fang army wantonly looted outside Chang'an City, while Li Sheng's troops were strictly disciplined, and the Shuo Fang army wanted to distribute the looted things to Li Sheng's men, and the soldiers did not dare to accept it.

Li Sheng asked Tang Dezong to move his army in case of accidents, and Tang Dezong sent Lu Zhen, a scholar of Hanlin, to Li Huaiguang's army to see the opportunity.

Li Huaiguang spit out bitterness to Lu Zhen, "The reward of the Shence army is rich, and the reward of the Shuofang army is meager, so how to call the Shuofang army how to fight", Li Sheng understood that he had something to say, and replied very happily, "You are the marshal, the commander of the army, but we listen to your orders, how to increase or decrease the degree, you can arrange it", Li Huaiguang did not expect Li Sheng to be so tactful, and he was unwilling to bear the charge of deducting the military degree of Shence, so he had to swallow his stomach full of resentment.

Li Huaiguang stationed troops in Xianyang for a long time, and Tang Dezong urged him to fight several times, but he was blocked back for various reasons.

Li Huaiguang secretly contacted Zhu Jun, and his traces were gradually revealed. Li Sheng was worried about annexing it, so he wrote to Tang Dezong and asked to set up Li Huaiguang. At that time, Tubo also planned to help Zhu Jun, and Tang Dezong was worried and prepared to go to Xianyang to supervise the battle.

When Li Huaiguang heard the news, he was shocked, and he suspected that the emperor wanted to seize his military power, "trying to turn back and be anxious." Li Sheng's troops moved to Dongwei Bridge, and Li Jianhui and Yang Huiyuan, who had not moved in time, were attacked and killed by Li Huaiguang.

Tang Dezong fled to Liangzhou (now Hanzhong, Shaanxi), "the supply is uncertain, and the officials lack food", and he can't help but regret not obeying Li Sheng's construction. Now that Li Sheng is under the threat of Zhu Zhu and Li Huaiguang, the emperor is worried that he will not be able to control the overall situation, so Hun Yang comforts the emperor, "Li Sheng has always been loyal to the Tang Dynasty and has no second thoughts about the imperial court, I inspire him, he will definitely be able to break the enemy army."

Tang Dezong appointed Li Sheng as the left servant of Shangshu and the Pingzhang of Tongzhongshu, and the safety of the Tang Empire was handed over to Li Sheng. Li Sheng reorganized the army, repaired weapons, and prepared to recover Chang'an.

At that time, Luo Yuanguang guarded Tongguan, Shang Ke was lonely and protected Qipan, accepted Li Sheng's moderation, Dai Xiuyan guarded Fengtian, and Han Youhuan led the Suining army to obey Li Sheng's command.

Li Huaiguang began to be afraid, and Li Sheng wrote a letter to rebuke him, asking him to "redeem himself as a thief", but Li Huaiguang did not listen, fearing that Li Sheng's army would launch an attack and run to the river. Thousands of his subordinates defected to Li Sheng, to serve the Tang Dynasty, "Sheng is an important official", at this time, Li Sheng, the power of the world,

Ranked as the deputy marshal of the soldiers and horses of Gyeonggi, Weibei, Dunfang, and Shanghua, the Tang army has everything and is only waiting for a battle.

Shen Cejun and Li Sheng's family members both lived in Chang'an, and at this time they became hostages of Zhu Zhu, and the soldiers were quite uneasy, Li Sheng encouraged everyone, "The Son of Heaven is in trouble, we can't only take care of ourselves."

Zhu Zhu sent someone to tell Li Sheng, "Your family is safe and sound", Li Sheng did not give anyone a chance to shake the morale of the army, and shouted loudly to kill him, but Zhu Zhu's plan did not succeed.

At that time, the logistics supply of the Shence Army was not smooth, it was the height of summer, and some soldiers still wore fur clothes, and Li Sheng also wore fur clothes to show that he shared weal and woe with the soldiers. Li Sheng led by example and took the lead, and the soldiers did not dare to complain.

Wholeheartedly, ready to recover Chang'an. At that time, many of Zhu Zhu's spies were captured by the Shence army, and Li Sheng entertained them, repatriated them, and told them, "Defend the city for Zhu Zhu well, don't betray the master."

Everyone discussed the plan to march into the army, and Li Sheng put forward his insight, "If you break through the outer city first, and then attack the palace, it is very easy to be ambushed, and the people will be harmed."

The heavy soldiers of the rebels are all in the forbidden garden of the palace, and they directly attack with heavy fists, striving for a quick victory", the generals agreed,

So the Shence army moved from the Dongwei Bridge to Guangtai Gate, and soon broke in, the two sides fought fiercely, "zombies borrowed each other", the rebels fled into Chang'an Baihua Gate, after closing the door, crying loudly, they have seen their own end. At this time, some people in the Tang army mentioned that they would launch a general attack after the other troops arrived.

When the rebels recovered, the Tang army would suffer even greater losses. The Tang army took advantage of the victory and advanced and soon reached beyond the walls of the Forbidden Garden. At night, Li Sheng sent troops to dig a section of the garden wall, preparing to attack from here the next day.

The rebels were also a well-trained team, and immediately cut down trees and formed a fence to block the offensive of the Tang army. Li Sheng was furious, "If you let the enemy go, I will kill you first", the general Wan Qing personally jumped on his horse and charged, pushed open the fence, and the Tang army rushed in.

The rebels resisted to the death, and after only ten rounds, they fled towards Baihuamen. At this time, thousands of Jingyuan rebels came from behind Li Sheng, and Li Sheng led a hundred cavalry under his command to rush straight over. (To be continued.) )
