Chapter 43 Chapter 43: Xue Rengui's White Robe Shaking the Universe, Li Shimin's Poisoned Arrows

An old opponent Lu, he is the old counselor of Goryeo. He first proposed to Gao Yanshou, "The King of Qin back then, he accepted the heroes inwardly and served Rongdi externally. This is a talent for life. This time he came with the whole country, and our army is not their opponent at all. I think we should rein in our troops If there is no fight, it will take him a long time, and then send out strange troops to cut off his food road. Once the food road is destroyed, the Tang army will have no way to fight, and if they want to return, they will be able to win!" Obviously, this is the scene that Li Shimin does not want to see the most.

The self-willed Gao Yanshou would not listen to the advice of a civil servant. He first reached a consensus with his supporters, and then rejected all other objections one by one.He led an army of 150,000 troops and ran directly to camp forty miles outside the Tang camp, forming a confrontation with the Tang army. In this way, he used his own wisdom to walk towards the border of death step by step. Fearing that his IQ was not low enough, Li Shimin ordered Zuowei General Ashinasheer to lead more than a thousand Turkic cavalry into the enemy camp.A small group of enemies came to the door, and there was no reason not to kill them. Gao Yanshou commanded the battle majestically, and within a short while, Ashinasheer was killed and retreated.Ashinasheer was not stupid, seeing that he couldn't hold on, he retreated immediately, and the Korean army's morale was greatly boosted, and they pursued Ashinasheer inhumanely.

General Goryeo felt that the Tang army, which relied on numbers to dominate, was actually so easy to collapse.They looked at each other and smiled, this battle was like a divine help, and the Goryeo army chased it to a place eight miles southeast of Anshi City in an instant. Just a little weird. Gao Yanshou didn't think it was strange. At this time, Li Shimin and others were looking up from the heights and found that the army of Goryeo and Mohe had been deployed for more than 40 miles. Li Daozong suggested: "Goryeo is dispatched, and Pyongyang's defense must be weak. I am willing to lead 5,000 elite troops to attack Pyongyang. , overthrow the root cause, these 100,000 people will surrender without a fight!" Li Shimin only cared about Koryo's vassal relationship with the Tang Dynasty, so he rejected Li Daozong's request without thinking too much.

Facts have proved that this is one of the main reasons for the failure of the first Eastern Expedition to Goryeo. In order to fool Gao Yanshou, Li Shimin wrote him a passionate letter. The content of the letter is as follows: "I came here not to ask for food from you, or to take down many cities, but to inquire about crimes. As for the battle, I am really tired. When we came here, we didn't have enough food, so we just made do with it We took down several cities as supplies. We don’t move forward here, just to wait for Koryo to restore the official ceremony, as long as this is the case, I will return the lost cities as they are!”

Gao Yanshou's low IQ is indeed not bragging. After reading Li Shimin's letter, he was overjoyed and ordered to relax his guard at that time. That night, Gao Yanshou had a good sleep, and Gao Lijun also had a good sleep. On Li Shimin's side, all civil and military officials were suddenly summoned and a meeting was held.In the end, he ordered Li Ji to lead five thousand cavalry and gather in the west of the mountain; Changsun Wuji led ten thousand elite soldiers, as a surprise soldier, out of the valley from the north of the mountain, and rushed straight behind.As for Li Shimin himself, he personally led 4,000 cavalry and climbed Beishan with gongs and drums and flags.Of course, the people led by Li Shimin did not go to Beishan as cheerleaders, they had other purposes.

This is a mobile force, and when the Koryo army is in a mess, it will go wherever they are not in chaos. In the early morning, the Tang army suddenly sounded the horn of attack. Gao Yanshou got up early in the morning, he didn't know if he was eating or thinking about it, in short, after he heard a noise, he reacted very quickly.It was reported that less than 7,000 soldiers and horses of the Tang army were attacking at a very fast speed.Gao Yanshou laughed out loud, he knew this would be the result.So, I put on my troops and prepared to have a group fight with Tang Jun. The so-called "group fight", as you have seen, is the kind where more than 30 people fight one.

At this time, Li Shimin was wearing golden armor, watching every move on the ground on Beishan, waiting patiently for something. A cloud of dust flew up between the mountains and valleys in the north. This is Changsun Wuji's signal. Suddenly, Li Shimin, who had been silent all this time, made a move to attack. He ordered the cavalry to beat the gongs and drums, and rushed down holding the banner.This was the emperor's order. As soon as the order sounded, the army came out from nowhere.In an instant, countless armies rushed out from all directions, causing the sky to spin and the earth to shatter.At this time, the most pitiful person is Mr. Gao Yanshou.When he saw the situation at that time, he was frightened and at a loss for a while.The strategy he can think of is that the 150,000 troops unite as one, form an extremely large circle, and everyone resists desperately.

Or use the second method, which is to escape. Gao Yanshou looked around, but found that it was not enough. There are enough troops, but not enough morale, not enough space, and not enough time! In order to be able to command the battle, Gao Yanshou forced himself to climb onto the high platform calmly, hoping to reverse the situation. It's a pity it's too late. Before the troops of Goryeo and Mohe entered, they were in a mess.I can't care about anything, I have no formation, no morale, if I want to survive, I will divide it into several groups, and each general will lead his own team, use his swords and guns, and kill, kill, kill!What made Gao Yanshou complain endlessly was that standing on the high platform, he actually witnessed a legend that has been passed down through the ages.This is an unprecedented miracle, and he will never understand why God sent such a person to make him pay for his decision.

……how to say? It's really too perverted! But seeing the sky suddenly covered with dark clouds, a bolt of lightning struck and landed in the mountains. Outside the city of Anshi, the white light of lightning illuminated the scenery, showing a frightening whiteness.After the anger of heaven, Gao Libing was stunned.They saw a warrior in a strange white robe riding a war horse, especially among Tang soldiers.Yes, wherever the warrior went, the enemy soldiers would undoubtedly die, and those who provoked him before his eyes would end in extremely bloody.Hundreds of Koryo soldiers besieged him, and anyone who tried to fight him would die; anyone who tried to get close to him would die; anyone who blocked his way would die!

He is destined to be a warrior who will go down in history, he is destined to be a general who will go down in history, he is destined to be a great husband in the world, a great hero in the world! Gao Yanshou was so frightened that he didn't know what to do, and Gao Lijun avoided this person one after another. Li Shimin saw this warrior who could defeat ten thousand people, and he wanted to know his name.Li Shimin's scalp was numb from the shock, he pointed at that person excitedly, and immediately sent a messenger to inquire. The messenger rushed into the rebellious army with the order, not to disturb the warrior, he asked the Tang soldiers who were following him: "Who is that brave man in white uniform?" The soldiers all responded proudly. on his name.

The messenger returned to Li Shimin. Who is he? Longmen people - Xue Rengui! Xue Rengui, remember this name. Xue Rengui, born in 614 AD, was born in Longmen, Jiangzhou (Hejin, Shanxi). When Xue Rengui was a child, his family was poor, and he lived by farming. He learned martial arts, he was good at eating, and he didn't gain weight.At the age of twenty-seven or eighteen, I have not yet found a wife.Originally, he was supposed to spend his whole life in obscurity, but it was because of his wife's arrival that countless changes took place in his life.His wife's surname is Liu, but there is no record of her name in history books.Some said her name was Liu Yingchun, while others called her Liu Yinhuan. Liu Yinhuan is a good wife and very filial, Xue Rengui is a good husband and respects his wife's opinion very much. The two of them were quite worrying, especially Xue Rengui, who was thirty-one years old and didn't even have a child in his arms.Xue Rengui wasn't worried either, what he thought about all day long was to rebury his ancestors.If you want to rebury your ancestors, you must have fame.Judging from Comrade Xue's current state, fame and fortune are nothing but nonsense.Seeing Xue Rengui's stubbornness, Liu Yinhuan gave him advice: "When today's son Yujia personally went to Liaodong, he has been looking for a strong general. You are so good at martial arts, are you afraid that you will not be famous? Wouldn't it be better to return to your hometown and have a new burial when you are rich?" Xue Rengui suddenly became enlightened, handed over the family to his wife, and went to sign up to join the army. The comrades in the recruiting office were familiar and kind. I heard from others that Xue Rengui was lucky and happened to meet the boss who was hosting the interview. The boss was called Zhang Shigui. The interview process is not troublesome, first test physical strength.Because there are so many people interviewing, having people lift heavy objects is the best option for recruiting.The report secretary is very busy and needs them to report the number.For example, some interviewees whose left arm weighs 20 pounds and their right arm weighs 30 pounds will be dismissed directly, because it is difficult to get on the kang with such strength.For example, some people have a hundred catties in their left arm and a hundred catties in their right arm. When a person was reported, his left arm was 500 catties and his right arm was 600 catties. Everyone was stunned, even Zhang Shigui, who had read all the fierce men in the world, was stunned. He looked at Xue Rengui in surprise, his eyes full of admiration. Zhang Shigui has a heart of love for talents, so he especially keeps him by his side to show his importance.And Xue Rengui kept his wife's words in mind, performed well in the army, and was repeatedly promoted by Zhang Shigui.Now, he has become a leader in Zhang Shigui's department, and everyone admires him very much.Xue Rengui is also very flattering, and his performance becomes more and more fierce. In order to show himself, he deliberately wears a white cape outfit. In the battle, this outfit becomes a pleasing scenery. Xue Rengui is a confident person, he is brave and brave, and he shows himself in white clothes.Holding a Zhangba halberd in his hand and two strong bows hanging on his waist, he shouted and galloped, killing the enemy with fear. The Korean soldiers were in a mess, they turned around and ran, with ten in one area, hundreds in ten, and tens of thousands in one, and if you run, I will run as well. Only when everyone runs is the real run.Tang Jun's rear took the opportunity to keep up and rushed forward. Gao Li and Mohe panicked and collapsed instantly.In front of Xue Rengui, everyone has become a watermelon that can only be hacked, and the red water flowing out is the only end for the opponent.Inspired by Xue Rengui, five thousand Tang troops killed hundreds of thousands of enemy soldiers. After the war, Li Shimin first summoned Xue Rengui, and he looked delighted, as if he had found a treasure. Apart from anything else, first worship Xue Rengui as a guerrilla general. In an instant, Xue Rengui changed from a pawn to a fourth-rank general.Soon, he returned to the battlefield.Because Gao Yanshou saw the collapse of the Koryo army, he immediately withdrew his troops and relied on the mountain to form a camp for self-strengthening.Li Shimin decided not to give them any chance to breathe, and ordered the army to surround them. In addition, Changsun Wuji also led dozens of people to do a happy and worry-free thing. Gao Yanshou was forced to go up the mountain, and at the end of the mountain road was a bridge across the valley.Changsun Wuji ran to the scene ahead of time, everyone exercised and demolished the wooden bridge.When Tang Jun cooperated with the time and route and forced Gao Yanshou to retreat, they realized that on the rolling river and between the canyons, the wooden bridge was broken and became a natural danger.Gao Yanshou couldn't make it through, he counted the number of people unwillingly, 150,000 people, and 36,800 people remained. After discussing for a while, Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen decided to surrender. They knelt in front of Jun Ya, with their knees on the ground, moved forward, and finally fell on the ground, kowtowing for orders.Li Shimin looked at these two people and asked angrily: "Dongyi boy, a jumping clown, do you dare to talk about fighting the emperor in the future?!" The two lay on the ground, not daring to raise their heads or speak.Li Shimin saw that there was no point in scaring them, so he ordered: "Nusa and the chiefs below them (about 3,500 people) were given military ranks and moved to the interior, and the rest were left behind and returned to Pyongyang." Someone who understands Chinese translated, "All the officials and others will be transported to the Tang Dynasty, and the rest will be innocent. Let them go to Pyongyang." When the order was issued, the captured soldiers were probably overjoyed, they all knelt down and clapped their hands on the ground.Their cheers can be heard dozens of miles away.However, some people rejoice too soon.They didn't know that Li Shimin didn't agree to let them go, and everyone was unwilling to agree to let them go. There were only 3,000 people left in the Mohe army, and Li Shimin ordered that they all be buried alive. Some people say that after Li Shimin returned to Chang'an, the reason why he sought the elixir was because someone from Mohe shot him with a poisoned arrow.According to scholars' textual research, the poisonous arrow shot by the Mohe people on Li Shimin's shoulder was the source of Li Shimin's extreme physical pain and mental turmoil.It is precisely because of their poisonous arrows that ruined Li Shimin's life and brought the magnificent Zhenguan Reign to a hasty end. This Mohe really cannot be explained clearly in one or two sentences. Mohe is a nation in a broad sense, just like the Turks, there are countless tribes. There were originally ten tribes in Mohe, but later they annexed each other and streamlined the organization, leaving only seven tribes. Between Baishan and Heishui, the Limoshui (Songhua River) Mohe and Heishui (Heilongjiang) Mohe tribes are the most powerful.When the Tang Dynasty went to conquer Korea, there were differences among the different ministries of Mohe.Although Mohe live by hunting and hunting, the tribes in the south have already started agricultural life.Unlike the Mohe in the south, the Heishui Mohe tribe in the north still maintains their traditions.They are good at making their own poison, and apply the poison on the arrowhead to shoot animals. Li Shimin knew this.
