Chapter 117: The greatness of life, the grievance of death

[How fierce is Li Cunxiao? Perhaps his strength needs to be complemented by other powerful people to better stand out. 】

[The concept of a warlord is that every time you fight, you need to personally put yourself in battle and fight face-to-face with the enemy.

And Li Cunxiao is a general who belongs to this category, and his record is indeed shocking. 】

[The first fierce general under Zhu Wen, the king of Liang, is named Wang Yanzhang, who holds an iron gun every time he charges, and is known as the "Hebei Gun King". 】

[After Zhu Wen became emperor, he successively named Wang Yanzhang as the assassin of Pu and Lanzhou, the defense envoy of Ru and Zhengzhou, and the envoy of Xu and Huazhou Jiedu, which are all official positions of feudal officials.

After Li Cunxiao's death, Wang Yanzhang once singled out the 36 generals of the Jin Army in a row, and this combat effectiveness was very terrifying.

However, even Wang Yanzhang's terrifying record is only known as the second in the world.

Who is the number one in the world?

Needless to say, it is naturally Li Cunxiao. 】

[Why did Wang Yanzhang succumb to Li Cunxiao? This is because Wang Yanzhang and Li Cunxiao had a direct confrontation.

In the face-to-face confrontation between the two of them, Wang Yanzhang actually fled in defeat after less than three rounds in front of Li Cunxiao, which shows that Li Cunxiao's personal strength is basically crushing to Wang Yanzhang. 】

[Li Cunxiao's personal bravery was more vividly reflected in another battle.

That time, Li Cunxiao led the army to meet the enemy general Gao Siji, this general named Gao Siji was not simple, and his bravery was not much lower than Wang Yanzhang. 】

[In the case that Li Cunxiao has not yet played, Gao Siji has continuously defeated dozens of generals under Li Cunxiao.

In this battle, Li Cunxiao did not play for the first time because he was seriously ill.

But when he saw that his men were defeated one after another, he was furious in his heart, and despite his serious illness, he rushed to Gao Siji with his sword and horse.

Gao Siji saw Li Cunxiao, who was seriously ill, coming over, and thought that this was a good opportunity to defeat Li Cunxiao.

But the two fought for about ten rounds, and Gao Siji was actually captured by Li Cunxiao!

This Li Cunxiao doesn't look like a person from this world at all, his combat power is too terrifying. 】

[What really made Li Cunxiao famous was the battle of leading the army to recapture Luzhou.

In 890 AD, Li Cunxiao led only more than 5,000 soldiers and horses to defeat the armies of the Later Liang and recapture Luzhou again.

He is indeed extremely brave, and he is also quite strategic in leading the army to fight.

If Li Cunxiao continues to grow, then Li Keyong will really have an advantage in seizing the world.

It's a pity that God, or rather himself, didn't give him a chance to continue to grow. 】

[As we said earlier, Li Cunxiao was the biggest contributor to the pacification of Zezhou, but Li Keyong did not reuse Li Cunxiao, but instead enabled Kang Junli as the queen of Zhaoyi, which made Li Cunxiao very resentful.

Because Li Cunxiao knew that Kang Junli was good friends with Li Cunxin, he began to secretly collude with Zhu Wen and others under the domination of his own dissatisfaction. 】

[Li Keyong was furious after learning the news and led the army to crusade against Li Cunxiao.

Li Cunxiao was reluctant to turn his face with his father-in-law Li Keyong, and when the city ran out of food, he cried on the city: "The son is the great favor of the king, and he is the prime minister, is he willing to abandon the father-son relationship and join the enemy?" This is because of the false accusation of the faith, hoping to see the king alive, and die if he says a word. ”

Li Keyong was also very sad, and sent a messenger to tie Li Cunxiao back, and he didn't fight at all.

Liu took Li Cunxiao back, and Li Cunxiao kowtowed and asked: "Son Yu Jin has merit but no fault, the reason why he is here is because of his trust!" ”

Li Keyong said: "The letter you wrote to Zhu Quanzhong and Wang Rong slandered me, is this also what Li Cunxin forced you to do?" So he escorted him back to Taiyuan and executed him with a torn chariot. 】

[In fact, Li Keyong didn't want to kill Li Cunxiao, he hoped that the generals would intercede for Li Cunxiao, and then he was exempted from his crime.

Who knows, other generals are jealous of Li Cunxiao's merits, and the relationship with Li Cunxiao is not good, so that no one stands up to intercede for him.

Li Keyong had no ladder to go down, so he could only execute Li Cunxiao, and Li Keyong also hated the generals for this, but Li Keyong did not condemn Li Cunxin.

Li Keyong regretted his filial piety and ignored political affairs for more than ten days, and his army gradually weakened, while Zhu Wen's power began to become stronger and stronger. 】

[Li Cunxiao's death was a turning point for Li Ke to use the power of the Jin army, because he lost the general of the pillar stone, so that Li Ke was greatly injured with his vitality. 】

[Later generations had some speculations about Li Keyong's arrangement of Li Cunxiao:

When Li Keyong used troops during Li Cunxiao's period, he mainly aimed at the Hedong region. Although it is rich, after all, it has been ravaged by war and people's livelihoods have withered.

And Li Keyong knew that if they wanted to ensure the stability of the country based on the Jin land, they must open up the north and master the Silk Road, which showed that their war with the Khitan was inevitable.

And this is not a guess, because this matter has been done by Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty on behalf of Liu Heng, Emperor Wen of the Jin Dynasty and King Sima Zhao of the Jin Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Northern Wei Dynasty Tuoba Tao has also done it, and Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty and Yang Guang of the Jin Dynasty have also done it.

As the king of Jin, Li Ke pacified the north, which was a strategy that must be considered and used.

And the key to Li Ke's employment is Li Cunxiao! In other words, Li Cunxiao is a sword that Li Keyong is preparing to use against the north, a sword that has not yet come out of the body! 】

[If Li Cunxiao does not collude with Zhu Wen and rebel, he may not be transferred to the north in a short time.

With Li Cunxiao here, the northern Khitan will also face a great enemy, and the Youzhou forces may also be unified soon.

Li Cunxiao's battle record should have been north of the Great Wall, and he should have dominated the grasslands and deserts, but he regrettably died south of the Great Wall, at the hands of his own young wisdom and his own people. 】

[Li Cunxiao's real regret is that he is proficient in martial arts and negligent in wisdom. If his intellect had been slightly better, he would not have ended up with a tragic outcome where no one pleaded for mercy. 】

[In stark contrast to Li Cunxiao, it is Li Cunxin.

Li Cunxin has wisdom and strategy, but unfortunately his martial arts are not proficient.

After Li Cunxiao's death, when Wang Yanzhang came to the Jin army again, Li Cunxin was unable to resist, which made Li Keyong very disappointed. Soon, Li Cunxin was transferred from a key position, and he died of depression not long after, at the age of 41. 】

Zhao Kuangyin sighed and said: "Alas, jealousy and jealousy can be a good hand, but when facing a strong enemy, he no longer has the prestige of calculating friendly forces."

"Although this Jin King has some ability, he still lacks flexibility at some point. What is face? Why can't you pull down your face to save Li Cunxiao? Zhu Yuanzhang didn't understand a little, after all, in his opinion, face is the most useless thing.

"Li Ke has devoted his life to restoring the Tang Dynasty, if he can keep Li Cunxiao, a fierce general, the Tang Dynasty may really have a chance to revive, but it's a pity, a pity."

Li Cunxiao in the pillar of light, after seeing the speculation about Li Keyong's employment plan in the video, a look of great regret and pain also appeared on his face, "Father-in-law, it's the child who lacks wisdom and doesn't see your true good intentions. The child is wrong, the child is sorry for you and Datang! ”

[Li Cunxiao is like a symbol, he marks the departure of an era. Since then, on the battlefield, personal bravery is no longer the absolute protagonist, and resourcefulness has begun to come to the forefront. 】

[The greatness of life and the grievance of death are Li Cunxiao, but he ranks third among the top ten fierce generals in history, and he deserves his name. 】

It's made up, and it's updated normally at night
