"After the Battle of Tianshan, Xue Rengui returned to Chang'an City and guarded the gate for Li Zhi for several years."

"A few years later, Goguryeo's powerful minister Yuan Gai Suwen died of illness, Goguryeo was in civil strife, and the Tang army attacked again to conquer Goguryeo."

"In this war, Xue Rengui still won all the way."

"In the Battle of Jinshan, Xue Rengui defeated the Goguryeo army and beheaded more than 50,000, and in the Battle of Buyeo, Xue Rengui attacked Buyeo with 3,000 elites, and finally beheaded and captured more than 10,000, and made the entire Buyeo region surrender directly."

After several months of continuous war, Xue Rengui rushed all the way into the Korean Peninsula, and finally joined forces with Li Ji, the commander of the Tang Army, under the city of Pyongyang, and then broke through Pyongyang in a battle.

At this point, Goguryeo was completely destroyed by the Tang Dynasty. ”

"However, Xue Rengui's life is not without failure."

"After the battle to destroy Goguryeo, Xue Rengui was sent to Qinghai and led 50,000 Tang troops to confront Tubo."

"At the beginning, the Tang army also achieved certain victories."

"But later, because Xue Rengui's deputy Guo Zhifeng was at odds with him, and the Tubo side sent an army of 400,000 to attack Xue Rengui."

"In the end, the Tang army was defeated at Dafeichuan, and Xue Rengui led his troops to retreat, and was later dismissed."

"Objectively speaking, in the battle of Dafeichuan, although the Tang army was defeated, it can't be blamed on Xue Rengui."

"If you change to other generals, it is normal for the whole army to be annihilated in the face of discord on your own side, fighting on the plateau, and the enemy army is several times more than a few times."

"Although Xue Rengui was defeated, he returned safely with the Tang army, which is actually enough to show his military talent."

"A year after being dismissed, Xue Rengui was reactivated to suppress the rebellion on the Goguryeo side."

"However, after leading the troops this time, Xue Rengui was exiled to Xiangzhou again because of something."

"In fact, there is a reason why Li Zhi demoted Xue Rengui twice and exiled him."

"The first time Li Zhi demoted Xue Rengui to a concubine, it was because of the famous defeat in the Battle of Dafeichuan."

"The battle of Dafeichuan is the first time that Xue Rengui led the army to fight alone, but he didn't expect to return home, the fiasco of the battle of Dafeichuan is not only the shame of Xue Rengui's career, but also the first defeat of Datang's foreign campaign, which damages the glory of Datang."

"Although Xue Rengui is not fully responsible for the failure of the Battle of Dafeichuan, he has a certain responsibility as the commander-in-chief, and this defeat has a great impact on the morale of the Tang army, so Xue Rengui has to be demoted to a concubine to calm the anger of the public, and Xue Rengui was reactivated after just one year!"

"However, immediately after that, Xue Rengui was exiled for the second time, and due to the impact of the Battle of Dafeichuan, the three kingdoms of Goguryeo in the east were also ready to rebel, and Gaozong appointed Xue Rengui as the chief of the Jiming Road march."

"Because the situation of Goguryeo at this time was completely different from that of that year, and Xue Rengui, the general manager of the Jimingdao march, did not have any decent troops at that time, so he was defeated by the Silla army when he put down the local rebellion, and he was defeated on the battlefield where Xue Rengui was once the most proud, which made Li Zhi helpless and exiled Xue Rengui to Xiangzhou."

"Xue Rengui was demoted twice because he lost the battle, and Li Zhi punished him for his crimes."

"Although the first time is not his responsibility, but because it has too much impact on morale, he is demoted to a commoner, and the second is because he did lose the battle, but I think which general can be undefeated, if there is a deeper intention, then there is nothing to say."

"No matter which it is, it's actually not surprising, because Xue Rengui at that time was no longer young."

"At that time, Xue Rengui was already in his sixties."

"Ordinary generals, at this time, are already at home for a long time, and they have no strength to fight on the battlefield anymore."

"However, Xue Rengui is still charging ahead, which is already very rare, even if he is defeated, it is actually excusable."

"In 681 AD, Xue Rengui, who was already 68 years old, was activated again, and was immediately transferred to the north to conquer the invading Turks."

"As a result, after Xue Rengui arrived in the north, the Turks heard that Xue Rengui was coming, so they simply didn't fight, and directly dismounted and surrendered."

"And for those Turks who did not surrender, Xue Rengui led his troops all the way to cut them down, killed tens of thousands of people, and captured more than 20,000 people, which is known as the great victory of Yunzhou."

"The victory in the Battle of Yunzhou seems to have become the last glory of this veteran, and after the Battle of Yunzhou, not long after, Xue Rengui died of illness in the army at the age of seventy."

"Xue Rengui's life, from joining the army at the age of 30 to dying after the Battle of Yunzhou, fought for the Tang Dynasty for 40 years! In the past 40 years, Xue Rengui went east to Goguryeo, Xiping Jiu surnamed Tiele, fought against Tibet, and defeated the Turks...... Along the way, Xue Rengui almost won in a row, except for a defeat in Dafeichuan, he basically never lost. ”

"This kind of Xue Rengui is indeed worthy of the evaluation of the four words 'Tang Dynasty Military God', but this only defeat has become his black spot."

"As a martial temple established by the Tang Dynasty, Xue Rengui has been fighting horses all his life for the Tang Dynasty, why shouldn't he enter?"

"In fact, the voices of shouting for Xue Rengui are endless, and at this moment, there are many people who are unhappy for Xue Rengui, a Xue Rengui who pacified the border for the Tang Dynasty, opened up the territory, and collected prestige and meritorious service, it stands to reason that Xue Rengui has the qualifications to enjoy the martial arts temple?"

"Zhang Liao can enter, Wei Chi Gong can enter, many people can enter, and they don't despise them, their military ability is very strong, but "three arrows set the Tianshan Mountain", taking off a hat can scare off tens of thousands of Turks, Xue Rengui, who makes the enemy so frightened, is not much better than them! ”

"There are many reasons, the first is that I was born in the wrong era, and I never get tired of hearing a common saying - heroes are born in troubled times."

"Most of the famous generals in history are from the troubled times, not only can the troubled times have the opportunity to show themselves, but at the same time, when the history records the famous generals, the camera will focus on the troubled environment and sway the pen and ink to the heroes of the troubled times."

"Compete for the world! This background is even more magnificent, with ups and downs, and there is a sense of who is in charge of ups and downs. ”

"Everyone has to take a hard look at their current situation in order to realize their next strategy, either personally or powerfully."

"The difficulty of the war will increase, and the level and excitement of decision-making will also increase."

"It's very realistic, in the troubled times, a talent is the lord and other forces, vertical and horizontal, and conquer the world, and when the world is peaceful and the national strength is prosperous, go to conquer the border fortress and expand the territory, which do you think is more powerful?"
