Chapter 119: Princess Gao Yangzhao (II)
Emperor Tianqing looked at Lie Rufeng Ruru and said, "The more powerful ones are still to come." It can be said that the entire Tang Dynasty was fought by the three princesses alone. If there were no three princesses, there would be no Tang Dynasty. ”
"It's a pity that such a woman should have been famous for eternity, but the pen and ink of the historian has never been willing to waste too much for women. Zixi said regretfully.
"yes, what about the future?" said Blaze Wind.
Emperor Tianqing continued: "Later, the third princess took He Panren, which was really like a tiger.
He Panren gave her a siege of Jucheng, and also resisted the rebel army from the imperial capital. The three princesses crisscrossed in Guanzhong, attacking Zhou Zhi, slightly martial arts, and Ke Shiping, forming an encirclement of the imperial capital.
Her men grew to 70,000. In history, the third princess was the first person who could threaten the imperial capital of the dynasty by force.
Historians who have always been harsh on women have to praise them as: "Seventy thousand soldiers, powerful Guanzhong." ”
The third princess sent a letter to Emperor Tang and asked him to come over and take over her army. Emperor Tang was overjoyed, personally led the army, and drove over.
As soon as he crossed the Tianhe River, he knew that this was his own country, and the Tang Emperor was overjoyed.
The princess divided her 10,000 elite soldiers and joined forces with her younger brother as the main force to attack the imperial capital.
She and her husband Tianming were separated from the shogunate, living on both sides of the Tianhe River, and were responsible for blocking the rescue troops of the Yuan Dynasty.
The Tang Emperor gave the third princess the title "Gaoyang"
Pacifying Guanzhong, making the Yuan Dynasty thin and thin, and teaching the Central Plains to change the sky, are all the work of the three princesses alone!
After the Tang Emperor invaded the imperial capital and officially became emperor, he handed over an important task to his daughter: guarding the Reed Ze Pass.
Located on the mountains in the northeast of the plain, it is the throat of the plain.
Why is this an important task? Because the base camp of the Tang Emperor is the plain.
After the Tang Emperor became emperor, he also sent troops to the east to sweep away the rest of the rebel forces. The imperial capital was empty, giving others the opportunity to sneak attack from afar.
To defend the plain is to defend the rear of the Tang Dynasty.
Such an important task, Tang Huang did not hesitate to hand it over to the only daughter who could fight.
In fact, there is another important reason: according to her character, she originally planned to go to the East like her brother, but she was pregnant at that time, and Tang Huang and Tianming did not agree to her taking her pregnant to the battlefield.
But the war spread to the plains.
A rebel army is quietly approaching, and according to spies, the number of rebels may be as high as 100,000.
The black clouds overwhelmed the city, but the soldiers in Zhenguan were only a few thousand, and they were not elite. The third princess is facing a life-and-death situation, and more importantly, if Wei Zeguan falls, the nascent Tang Dynasty may fall.
And by the side of the third princess, her husband and loyal servants were not there, and she was alone. ”
Zi Xi said worriedly when she heard this: "How did the third princess do it." In this battle, did the third princess die?"
Emperor Tianqing shook his head and said: "The third princess touched her belly, which was getting stiffer and straighter, closed her eyes and thought for a while, and suddenly looked up to the sky and sighed, letting out a hearty laugh.
She sent an order: all the soldiers and civilians in the pass should gather all the grain that can be harvested. ”
Blazing Wind asked, "What are you doing with the grain?"
Hearing the order of the third princess, the soldiers under her command were puzzled. Guessing that a big war is imminent, we need everyone to eat and drink enough to have the strength to fight? However, we don't know how long this battle will last, so shouldn't we build a high wall and accumulate grain?
The third princess smiled and ordered again: Each household in the customs will send a strong man to take advantage of the night to introduce all the rice soup into the ravines outside the customs, and there must be no mistakes!
Everyone was dumbfounded, and no one understood.
But people did it anyway. The miracle of the three princesses, is there still a few? I hope this time is the same.
Overnight, outside the Reed Ze Pass, the rice soup flowed sideways.
The next morning, the third princess ordered all the soldiers and strong men to gather within the closed door, beat gongs and drums, and shouted joyfully, showing a joyful and peaceful atmosphere.
The next night, the third princess received a report from the spies: 100,000 enemy troops were turning around and running away!
Facing everyone's open mouths, the third princess explained: "Do you know what our rice soup is in the eyes of the enemy? They saw that there was horse urine outside our city and thought that our reinforcements had arrived.
The next morning we shouted in unison, and they thought we were cheering for reinforcements. They probably don't dare to fight anymore, so what can they do if they don't retreat?"
"The third princess is so powerful, she is really a heroine. Zixi said.
Emperor Tianqing nodded and said, "Yes, because of her great military exploits, the rewards she received from her father, Emperor Tang, were grander than those of other princesses. ”
"And after that, how did the third princess die? Zixi said.
Emperor Tianqing sighed and said, "The story is gone here. The pen and ink of the historian still refused to stay for a woman after all. Even if it's a princess with great achievements.
As for the cause of death and the place of death, nothing was mentioned. The only mention is of the honor after her death.
Emperor Tang was very sad and personally ordered the Royal Yulin Army to blow away the military music for her, and the soldiers of the three armies saw her off.
Is a woman's family worthy of military music and preaching for funeral? The rigid minister thought it was impossible.
Emperor Tang said angrily: "The former princess Yu Sizhu raised troops to respond to the banner of righteousness, personally held the golden drum, and had the honor of restraint. Zhou Zhiwen's mother is listed in the ten chaos, and the princess is very worthy of women. Why don't you advocate it!"
Emperor Tang's meaning is very clear: Without the three princesses, how can I dominate the world? Isn't such a great woman worthy of a funeral with military music?
It can be seen that in the mind of Emperor Tang, his daughter is more successful than his son.
not only to give her a military funeral, but also to give her a nickname: Zhao.
What is "Zhao"? Mingde has merit, and it is said to be Zhao.
The historical positioning of the third princess is "Princess Gaoyang Zhao".
For thousands of years, the third princess is the only one who has been nicknamed as a woman. ”
Lie Rufeng sighed and said, "What a pity! What an honor it is to be born in the same era as such a woman." If you can see her with your own eyes, it will be enough for a lifetime!"
"Yes! A Dan heart, wholeheartedly assisting his father, getting on the horse to kill the enemy, dismounting to settle down, very pure. Rao is such a woman, and the historian's pen and ink still don't write much. I'd rather write down the scheming women. Zixi said.
Emperor Tianqing opened his mouth and said: "Because people like scheming, those are the best cases of scheming. Okay, it's almost time, go get some food, and you have to go to the Hate Snow Building in the afternoon. ”
Zixi and Lie Rufeng nodded. This is the end of the legend of Princess Gao Yangzhao.
ps: This story is Li Yuan's third daughter, and there is no real name left in history. She is known as Princess Pingyang Zhao. The above two chapters are the deeds of Princess Pingyang Zhao. Slightly changed, in order to better integrate into the novel.
Such a heroine will be immortal. Jin has 70,000 soldiers, and he is mighty in Guanzhong. I'm not as good as my peers.
