Chapter 158: My Name Is Xue Li Xue Rengui (8)

Xue Rengui, a native of LM County, Jiangzhou, Hedong Province, was born in the ninth year of Daye, is a descendant of the famous general Xue Andu during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, belongs to the Xue family in Hedong, great-grandfather Xue Rong, the official to the Northern Wei Xinye, Wuguan two counties Taishou, the governor, the title of cc county duke. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info grandfather Xue Yan, the Northern Zhou Dynasty Imperial Bozhong Doctor. Father Xue Rail, Zanzhi of Xiangcheng County of the Sui Dynasty, his father Xue Rail died early, so the family fell into the middle. When Xue Rengui was a young man, his family was poor and his status was humble, so he took farming as his business and married his wife Liu.

Xue Rengui was preparing to move the graves of his ancestors, and Liu said: "There are outstanding talents, and they can only be used when they have the opportunity." Now that the emperor is personally driving to Liaodong and recruiting brave generals, this is a rare opportunity, why don't you strive for meritorious service and fame? After becoming rich and rich, go home and move the burial is not too late. Xue Rengui agreed, so he went to see the general Zhang Shigui to enlist.

In the nineteenth year of Zhenguan, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty set out to conquer Goguryeo in Luoyang. In March, on the battlefield of Andi, Liaodong, the Tang Dynasty general Liu Junqiong was besieged by the enemy regiments, unable to get out, no one could save him, at this critical moment, Xue Rengui single-handedly stepped forward, directly took the head of a general of Goguryeo, and hung his head on the horse, the Goguryeo army was frightened, so he withdrew the army, and Liu Junqiong was rescued. After this battle, Xue Rengui became famous in the army.

In April of the 19th year of Zhenguan, the Tang army advanced to Goguryeo, constantly defeating the Goguryeo defenders, and in June, to Anshi, Goguryeo Moli sent the generals Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen to lead an army of 250,000 to garrison in the mountains to resist the Tang army. After inspecting the terrain, Tang Taizong ordered the generals to lead the army to attack separately. In this battle, Xue Rengui was dressed in white, holding a halberd and a gun, carrying a double bow at his waist, and charging into battle alone, the Tang army followed up in a big way, and the Goguryeo army was defeated. After the war, Tang Taizong summoned Xue Rengui, who was still only a small soldier, and gave him two horses, 40 silks, and 10 people as slaves, and promoted him to guerrilla general and Yunquan Mansion Guoyi.

Later, the Tang army was trapped in Anshi City, and Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, offered a plan to send troops to attack Pyongyang, and led the Goguryeo army in Anshi City to the front line of Pyongyang in order to capture Anshi City. Because Tang Taizong was in the army, the eldest grandson Wuji tried his best to dissuade him, fearing that Tang Taizong would be safe, and he did not dare to attack Pyongyang, but it was not successful. In addition, Li Tao made a lot of nonsense, on the day of breaking the city, he slaughtered the soldiers and civilians in the city, so that the soldiers defending the city worked together more together, and then they could not overcome it for a long time, and then it was snowing heavily in winter, and the food and grass were not enough, and the tunnel retreated. On the way, Li Shimin said something like this to Xue Rengui: "My old generals are old, and they can't bear the heavy work of battlefield command, and every time I want to promote brave and strong generals, there is no comparison with you, I am not happy to get Liaodong, I am happy to get you." And promoted Xue Rengui to the right leading army lieutenant general, guarding the Xuanwu Gate.

On the third night of the fifth month of the leap month in the fifth year of Yonghui (654), heavy rain fell from the sky, flash floods broke out, and the flood rushed to Xuanwu Gate, and the guards and soldiers all fled. Xue Rengui said angrily: "Where is there a Son of Heaven who is in an emergency situation and immediately flees in fear of death?" and then risked his life to shout to the palace to warn the inner palace, so Tang Gaozong was able to avoid the disaster. Soon the flood flooded Tang Gaozong's bedroom, and Tang Gaozong said gratefully: "Fortunately, it was you who avoided being submerged, and I knew that there were loyal ministers." So he gave Xue Rengui a royal horse.

Outstanding achievements

In the leap month of the second year of Xianqing, Su Dingfang, the general of the Right Tun Guard, marched into the Western Turks to conquer the rebellious Ashina Helu. Xue Rengui said: "The minister heard that the division is unknown, so the war will not succeed. Make it clear that the enemy in the world is a thief, then it is possible to subdue the enemy. Now Ni Shu relied on the talents he had always possessed, and did not want to be subservient to Helu, but he was broken by the thieves, and his wife, sons, and daughters were captured. Among the Han soldiers, there are family members of Nishu and others who have been defeated in the Helu tribes, and they will be confiscated into lowly status, and the way to dispose of them is to take them back and return them to Nishu and others, and they will still be rewarded the same. Then he sympathized with and took pity on the incident of Nishu and others being attacked in vain, and let the people understand clearly that Helu and other tribes were like thieves, and knew that His Majesty's grace was widely spread. Tang Gaozong listened to his opinion and sent people to search for the people of the Helu tribe and sent them back, so the people of the Nishu tribe asked to follow the Tang army to serve.

In the third year of Xianqing, Tang Gaozong Li Zhi ordered Cheng Mingzhen to conquer Goguryeo, with Xue Rengui as his deputy general. Xue Rengui defeated the Goguryeo army in Guiduancheng and beheaded more than 3,000 ranks.

In the fourth year of Xianqing, Xue Rengui and Liang Jianfang, Qibi He Li, etc., fought with the Goguryeo general Wenshamen in Hengshan. At that time, Xue Rengui held a bow and arrow, took the lead, rushed into the enemy formation, and all those who shot fell to the ground. Then, he fought with the Goryeo army in Shicheng, met the enemy general, and killed more than ten Tang soldiers, but no one dared to do it. Xue Rengui was furious when he saw this, and rode in alone, directly taking the enemy general. The enemy general was intimidated by Xue Rengui's bravery, and before he had time to release his arrows, he was captured by Xue Rengui. In December, Xue Rengui and Xin Wenling defeated the Khitan in Montenegro, captured the Khitan king Abgu and the following soldiers, after the war, he worshiped General Zuo Wuwei for his merits, and sealed the male of Hedong County.

In the first year of Longshuo, the Hui leader Po Yan, who had always been friendly with Tang, died, and Bisu, who succeeded to the throne, turned to be an enemy of Tang. Gaozong Zhao Zheng Rentai was the main general, and Xue Rengui was the deputy general, leading the troops to Tianshan to attack the nine surnamed Tiele. Before leaving, Tang Gaozong gave a banquet in the inner hall, during which Tang Gaozong said to Xue Rengui: "In ancient times, there were people who were good at archery, who could penetrate seven layers of armor, and you can shoot five layers to see." Xue Rengui responded to the order, put the armor and took the bow and arrow, only to hear the bowstring sound, and the arrow had passed through the five armor. Tang Gaozong was taken aback, and immediately ordered someone to take the armor and reward Xue Rengui.

After Zheng Rentai and Xue Rengui led their troops to the Tianshan Mountains, the nine surnamed Tiele supported more than 100,000 people to refuse, and ordered dozens of brave knights to come to challenge. Xue Rengui fired three arrows and killed three people, and the rest of the knights were afraid of Xue Rengui's divine power and dismounted and asked for surrender. Xue Rengui took advantage of the situation to wave his army to cover the killing, and the nine surnamed Tiele were defeated, and all the people who fell were killed. Then, Xue Rengui crossed the north to chase and defeat the crowd, capturing the three brothers of its leader. After Xue Rengui collected his troops, the army sang: "The general has three arrows to set the Tianshan Mountain, and the strong man sings a long song into the Han Pass." Since then, the nine surnamed Tiele have decayed and are no longer a border trouble.

Tiele has nine tribes, including Sijie and Duolange, who originally guarded the Tianshan Mountains, and when Zheng Rentai led the troops, they were afraid to surrender, Zheng Rentai did not accept them, and captured their families to reward the soldiers, and the enemies fled one after another. There was a report from the horsemen: "The enemy's military supplies, cattle, sheep and horses are all over the field, and they can be taken back." Zheng Rentai selected 14,000 cavalrymen, took off his armor and galloped lightly, passed through the desert, and arrived at the Xiancao River. The people were so hungry that they fought each other and devoured each other, and by the time they returned to the barracks, there were only one-twentieth of the cavalry left. Xue Rengui also took the Tiele women captured by his subordinates as concubines, accepted a lot of bribes and gifts, and was impeached by the relevant officials to Gaozong, and was forgiven for his great service.

In the first year of Qianfeng, Goguryeo Mo left Zhiquan Gai Suwen and died, and his son Quan Nan succeeded to the throne, but he was expelled by his younger brother Quan Nanjian, and the special envoy asked Tang for help. Tang Gaozong sent Pang Tongshan and Gao Pin to comfort him, but Quan Nanjian refused, so Tang Gaozong ordered Xue Rengui to lead the army to send Pang Tongshan and Gao Pin. When he arrived in Xincheng, Pang Tongshan attacked the Goguryeo army, and after Xue Rengui learned about it, he led the army to arrive in time, beheaded hundreds of enemy heads, and rescued Pang Tongshan. After Xue Rengui heard the news, he led the army to cut the Goguryeo army into two and attacked, beheaded more than 50,000 levels, and took advantage of the victory to capture the three cities of Goguryeo Nansu, Mudi and Cangyan, and met with Quannan. In this regard, Tang Gaozong personally wrote to Xue Rengui and said: "In the battle of Jinshan, there are a lot of thieves, you rushed in front of the soldiers, fought hard to kill the enemy, regardless of your own life, rushed left and right, and went forward, and the troops were very courageous, so that this battle was quickly victorious." You should do a good job and fulfill this good name!" Then, Xue Rengui led another 2,000 men to attack Buyeo City, an important town in Goguryeo. Xue Rengui said: "The soldiers are used, not in the crowd. So he led the army to the battle, this battle, he took the lead, killed more than 10,000 enemies, captured Fuyu City, a moment of prestige, more than 40 cities of Fuyu River, have surrendered. After that, Xue Rengui triumphed all the way and joined Li Tao's army outside Pyongyang, the capital of Goguryeo. Goguryeo surrendered, and the Tang Dynasty divided its territory into nine prefectures, 42 prefectures, and 100 counties, and set up the Andong Protectorate in Pyongyang to unify it. The edict ordered Xue Rengui to lead 20,000 troops to stay in Pyongyang with Liu Renliang. Xue Rengui was awarded the right Weiwei general with merit, and he was named the prince of Pingyang County, and concurrently inspected the school and protected Andong. Xue Rengui moved to Xincheng, raised orphans, supported the elderly, dealt with thieves, promoted and appointed Goguryeo talents, commended and rewarded the people with noble character and excellent behavior, and for a time the Goguryeo people were very happy, and even forgot the pain of losing the country.

In the first year of Xianheng, in order to fight against Tubo and recover Tuyuhun, the Tang Dynasty dispatched 50,000 troops to escort the king of Tuyuhun to Xue Rengui as the general manager of the Luosa Road march, and Ashina Daozhen and Guo Beifeng as the deputy governors. Guo Beifeng is the son of the famous general Guo Xiaoke, who once guarded Shancheng City, he was unwilling to submit to Xue Rengui, and often disobeyed Xue Rengui's moderation. When the Tang army arrived at Dafeichuan on the Qhhn side and was about to rush to Wuhai, Xue Rengui said to Guo Zhifeng: "The terrain of Wuhai is dangerous and there is a lot of poisonous gas, and our army will enter the place of death, which is really a dangerous road, but the march will succeed if it is fast, and it will fail if it is slow." The Dafei Ridge here is wide and flat, and two barracks can be set up, and all the military supplies are hidden in the barracks, leaving 10,000 guards behind, and our army can advance quickly, and the enemy can be eliminated if he is not prepared to attack him. ”

Xue Rengui led the army first, met the Tubo army at the mouth of the river, broke the Tubo army, captured a little, harvested more than 10,000 heads of cattle and sheep, and returned to Wuhai City to wait for backup. Guo Zhifeng was arrogant, did not obey Xue Rengui's orders, and led the grain and grass to move forward slowly. When Guo Beifeng's army entered Wuhai, more than 200,000 troops from Tubo came to rescue Wuhai and attacked Guo Beifeng's army. Xue Rengui had no choice but to withdraw from the army and stationed in Dafeichuan. Tubo sent more than 400,000 troops to attack the Tang army, but the Tang army was defeated and defeated. Xue Rengui had no choice but to make peace with the Tubo general about Qinling, so that he could retreat, but Tuyuhun has since fallen. Xue Rengui sighed and said: "This year is the year of Gengwu, Lou Xing is on duty, and he should not go to the west to fight, Deng Ai of Wei died in Shu because of this, and I knew that I would fail." Because of the defeat, Xue Rengui was dismissed from his post and removed from his name as a civilian. Not long after, the army left behind by Goryeo rebelled, and Xue Rengui was appointed as the governor of Jilindao. He was exiled to Xiangzhou for his crimes, and went home only when he encountered an amnesty from the imperial court.

In the first year of Kaiyao, Tang Gaozong remembered Xue Rengui's old achievements, summoned Xue Rengui, and said to him: "In the Wannian Palace before, without you, I would have become a fish. You also once wiped out the nine Turks, Goguryeo, and the northern and eastern parts of China who were vassals to China, and this is all your credit. How could I forget you. However, someone has sued you before me that you deliberately let the enemy go under Wuhai City, resulting in defeat. This incident makes me very regretful that now that Liaoxi is not at peace, and the roads in Guazhou and Shazhou are impassable, how can you sleep peacefully at home and not give me command to fight?"

In the first year of Yongchun, the Turkic Ashide Yuanzhen led an army to invade Yunzhou, and Xue Rengui was ordered to conquer. The Turks asked, "Who were the generals of the Tang Dynasty?" and replied, "Xue Rengui." The Turks said, "I heard that General Xue has died in exile in Xiangzhou, how can he be resurrected?" Xue Rengui took off his helmet and went to meet them, and the Turks were shocked when they looked closely, and they all dismounted and lined up to pay respects, and gradually fled. Xue Rengui took advantage of the situation to pursue, defeated the Turks, killed tens of thousands of Turkic troops, captured 30,000 people, captured more than 30,000 camels, horses, cattle and sheep, and won a great victory in Yunzhou. In the second year of Yongchun, Xue Rengui died at the age of 70. Posthumously thought that General Zuo Xiaowei and the governor of Youzhou, the government provided carriages and horses to escort the coffin back to his hometown, and the other said that he was buried in JX County, SD Province Looking at Xue Li, who was full of spittle, watching him dance and talk about his own historical life, the look of surprise on the faces of the three women gradually disappeared, and became more and more calm!

Xue Li shouted loudly again: "The strings are open to the moon, and the arrows shoot the blue wolf." Hedong giant, pillar of the sky. The generals of Xuemen are full of people, and the Rengui family is famous. In the brocade of the white robe, it is full of iron liver and righteous gall; On the saddle of the expedition, the fragrance of Ren Fende is often floating.

The existence of the Tao is also through. As for the arm, the strength can turn the tide. Take off your hat and retreat from the enemy, and set the Tianshan Mountain with three arrows. There is righteousness in the body, and there is courage in strategizing. Single-handedly entered the battle, and the beard collar fell; The horses are calm, and the army is cold. Cover the old and weak, and the rate is from the rear; Retreat from all and move forward alone. Yafu is full of strangeness, and Zilong is full of guts. Shaqiu point soldiers, Vientiane chest; The police situation in Muchun is spread across the water.

The first husband couriered Shuo Fang, and spread the border soil. Gaozong is the general of the Yue Si, benevolence and grace is a battle. At the beginning of the Han Festival, the eagle raised the power of the tiger, and the arm swallow arc, and the party of the jackal. The army pressed the pavilion barrier, and the camp was on the wall. The nine surnames are still rebellious, and the six juns are also ignorant of Rongbo. Even if the soldiers and birds gathered, the thieves rode Yuntun. The general then had courage and ambition. The white feather is drawn at the beginning, and the snow is shining in the hand; From the control of the Pyu, stretch the ape arm. The sound pierces the strong armor, and the Russians are terrified by thousands of people, and the blood-stained flat sand has been zombies in one ride.

If the arc is not better than the main skin, the great surrender of the crowd, the heart of the warrior is the same as the glaive, and then the battlefield is quiet. ”

Hua Wushuang suddenly kicked Xue Li down, and scolded in his mouth: "It's so shameless, how can people be shameless to such a point?

The Red Buddha Maiden looked at the three of them, and sighed in her mouth: "You are all celebrities, your name is recorded in history, I am a nameless person, I will not join you, my family has just died, I am going to observe the festival!"

Xue Li listened to the words of the Red Buddha Girl, and hurriedly said: "My idol, you are in our time, that is a famous name, listen to me tell you!"
