General Stars: ★ Li Keyong, Li, Zhou Dewei, Zhu Wen Wonderful Stars: Political Influence Stars: Comprehensive Stars: 4★ War Type: Li Keyong lost his fighting spirit and vigilance after his death, and was defeated by his younger generation Li.
Analysis of the depth of the war: The hero immediately rose from Shatuo, but what did Zhu Liang do? It is difficult to help the Tang state with one hand, and Liancheng Pool still holds mountains and rivers.
There are strange children under the cloud account, and there are many tears in front of the drum horn lamp. Bleak down three roads, people sing for a hundred years.
In 889 AD, Li Keyong, our envoy from Hedong, was defeated by our envoy from xing zhou, and Meng passed through triple duty on his way back to the army. Keyong Li, who came home victorious, was in a good mood. He held a celebration in Mie Gang and invited actors to sing for the soldiers.
The actor sang Lu Ji's century-old song, telling the irresistible fate of a hundred years of life.
The opera is coming to an end, and the song is sad, winding in the ears of every Jin soldier.
Everyone's eyes are getting dark.
No matter how gorgeous the scenery is, everyone will wait for the day when the wind and candle are dying.
Death is everyone's inevitable fear.
Li Keyong touched his son Li's head, his eyes were calm and his beard was smooth.
Looking at my son, all my fears disappeared. Because he knows that even when he is old, his ideals and his life will be continued and passed down.
At this time, young Li Zheng was fascinated by the opposite stage. Although he is five years old and still doesn't understand the meaning of singers' songs, the charm of actors on the stage will make him obsessed for life.
18 years later, Li, who took over his father's combat knife, was defeated on the triple post and began his legendary journey.
On Sanli Mountain, history is doomed and witnessed.
Shatuo nationality originated in the early Tang Dynasty and is a branch tribe separated from West Turkic. During the Zhenguan period, it lived in Shan Zhinan, Kym, to the east of Prehai. Because most of the areas where they live are deserts, they are called Shatuo people.
Shatuo Department has always belonged to the Tang Dynasty, which once established two vassal states, Jin Man and Shatuo, in the residence of Shatuo people. With the rise of the Tubo Empire in the mid-Tang Dynasty, the Tang Empire gradually lost control of the western regions, and the Shatuo people attached themselves to Tubo and became the most dependent mercenaries of the Tubo Empire.
Shatuo people have worked hard for the Tubo people, and there is nothing to lose when they arrive. Tubo people have been thinking about how to weaken the Shatuo people and force them to cross the river and move south. In the third year of Yuanhe, 30,000 Shatuo people, led by Zhu Xie and Zhu Xie, moved eastward to the Tang government, where they were placed near Lingzhou.
The heroic Shatuo people are also a sword in the hands of the Tang government. Zhu Xie led the Shatuo department to conquer Tubo, attack Uighur and pacify the internal forces of Wu Yuanji and other buffer regions for the Tang government, and made great achievements. It was recruited by General Jin Wu, the satrap of Yinshan and commander-in-chief of Beiying. The Shatuo people also began to grow and develop.
Li Keyong is the grandson of Zhu Xie, and Li Keyong, the leader of the Shatuo people, is no longer satisfied with being a wage earner of the Tang government. He led the Shatuo people into Yunzhou, killed Duan Wenchu, the Yunzhou defense envoy, and wanted to be a new Yunzhou defense envoy. Before the Tang government could deal with Li Keyong, Huang Chao had already killed Chang 'an. Tang Ting had to ask the Shatuo people to become mercenaries again.
The Shatuo people in Li Keyong became the key force to change the trend of peasant war in the late Tang Dynasty. He led 30,000 Shatuo soldiers to Guanzhong, recovered Chang 'an occupied by Huang Chao, and then rushed to Zhu Wen, the general of Henan United Rebel Army, to surrender to the Tang Dynasty. Later, Li Keyong defeated Huang Chao in Wangmandu and put down the peasant uprising in the late Tang Dynasty.
Li Keyong, who suppressed the peasant uprising in Huang Chao, became the envoy of Hedong and the most powerful separatist force in the late Tang Dynasty.
Of course, he is not the only nouveau riche, but also Zhu Wen.
Zhu Wen, a native of Dangshan, Songzhou, is a lazy, aggressive and long-term gangster of Liu Chong, a landlord in Xiaoxian County. During the Huang Chao Uprising, Zhu left Liu Chong's home and joined the Rebel Army, and soon grew from a small captain to the most effective general under Huang Chao.
Huang Chao was trapped in Chang 'an, and Zhu Wen surrendered to the Tang government without any psychological struggle. Li Yan, a Tang Xizong in Bashu, heard of Zhu Wen's mutiny and clapped his hands happily, saying it was a gift from heaven.
Li Yan didn't know that seventeen years later, this gift from heaven to the Tang Dynasty became the grave digger of the Tang Dynasty.
As two major forces to quell the peasant uprising, Li Keyong and Zhu Wen forged a deep hatred when they jointly strangled Huang Chao. After Wang Manchu's victory, Zhu Wen hosted a banquet for Li Keyong at Shangyuan Post. At first, the two brothers were still drinking and joking. Later, when they got drunk and didn't agree with each other, they began to smash tables and cups at the banquet, tearing their faces and making trouble.
After waking up, Zhu Wen, like a lamb, led the troops to besiege the posthouse that night. Unfortunately, the weather was bad, and it was stormy and thunderous that night, so Li Keyong was able to lead his troops to break through.
From then on, the two men became enemies, and their personal grievances evolved into a war that lasted for more than 40 years, which was interpreted as the melody of the times in the early Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.
In 907, Zhu Wen established himself as emperor, and changed his name to Huang Zhu, the temple name to Taizu, Kaiping, and Bianzhou, with its capital, which was called Hou Liang in history. Li Keyong, under the banner of the Tang government, continued to compete with Zhu Wen for hegemony, and only called Jin Wang. This won him a lot of public opinion and moral support.
In the early days of Jin Liang's hegemony, Zhu Wen always had the advantage. Although Shatuo's army was brave, Li Keyong made the mistake of detouring and provoking his opponent. In addition, the military discipline of Shatuo soldiers is very poor, and they are very disturbing and unpopular wherever they go. It is easy for Li Keyong to occupy the city, but it is also easy to fall. Going back and forth, picking up sesame seeds and throwing watermelons can't consolidate the fruits of victory. Zhu Wen pays attention to economic construction, appeases people's livelihood and develops agriculture on his own site. Militarily, he concentrated his forces and successively conquered and annexed several provinces in Henan. At that time, all buffers could not compete with it.
Keyong Li has been in the stage of passive beating. A few years before Zhu Wen proclaimed himself emperor, Li Keyong had to retreat to Taiyuan to protect himself.
Poverty leads to change. Li Keyong began to carry out some reforms on the Shatuo Army, such as strict military discipline, and began to attach importance to the economic construction in the base areas and resume agricultural production. Politically, it changed the dominance of one family in the past and made extensive friends with other buffer regions to jointly fight against Zhu Wen.
His successor, Lee, also got up in daily growing.
In 906 AD, Zhu Wen sent troops to Liu Rengong to conquer Lulong, which occupied Youzhou, and besieged Cangzhou. Liu Shouren, the son of Liu Rengong, was stationed here, and Liu Ren sent messengers to Li Keyong for help. Liu Rengong once joined Li Keyong, and Li Keyong was very kind to him. After conquering Youzhou, he recommended to the Tang government to take charge of Youzhou as the special envoy of Lulong. Who knows that Liu Rengong took the opportunity to sit up and let Li Keyong feel that he used the wrong person
Faced with the help of his betrayal of his subordinates, Li Keyong wanted to sit quietly, but young Li suggested that his father should not care about his personal feud with Liu Rengong in the past and unite with Liu Rengong to crack down on Zhu Wen.
Li Keyong accepted his son's suggestion and decided to unite with Liu Rengong to attack Luzhou, an important town in southeastern Shanxi occupied by Zhu Wen.
Shangdang, known as the roof of the world in ancient times, has an extremely important strategic position and has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. As soon as Qin unified the world in the Warring States Period, Shangdang and Zhao launched an earth-shattering and weeping Changping war. For Li Keyong, if he occupies the geographical position of Shangdang Taihang, he can occupy Sanjin and then compete with Zhu Wen for the Central Plains.
In October of the first year of Kaiping, Li Keyong sent Zhou Dewei and Li to attack Luzhou with an army of 80,000, and let Ding Hui, who was guarding Luzhou for Zhu Wen, surrender without a fight.
When Zhu Wen heard that Luzhou was lost, he gave up Cangzhou and sent general Kang Huaizhen to Luzhou with hundreds of troops in an attempt to recapture the lost territory.
Liang Jun besieged Luzhou for half a year. The commander-in-chief of the front line was changed from Kang Huaizhen to Li Sian, and from Li Sian to Liu Zhijun. Finally, Zhu Wen personally went to Luzhou to supervise the army.
In the first month of the second year of Kaiping, Zhu Wen received an unexpected New Year gift-Li Keyong, who died of illness. Li Keyong, Li Keyong, I have been playing for so many years, but you can't survive me, so I am the final winner. Zhu Wen thinks so.
Zhu Wen thinks that with Li Keyong dead, there is no threat to the back beam, and Li is just a wet behind the ears boy, which is not worth taking to heart. Even he didn't want to attack Luzhou personally. In April, I returned to Bianzhou and waited for the good news from Luzhou.
At the age of 23, Li became a vassal, and there were indeed many problems to be solved. First of all, he has to deal with an internal coup launched by his uncle Li. Li moves quickly. Just after his father's funeral, he planned to kill Li to root out a potential unstable force inside.
How fast he moves, Zhu Wen will soon know this.
On April 24th, 908, on the second day after Zhu Wen left Luzhou, Li set out from Taiyuan and approached Luzhou at a speed of hundreds of miles a day.
On April 29th, Li arrived at Huangnian, forty-five miles away from Luzhou City.
He prepared a trap for Liang Jun, which was located in Mie Gang. Eighteen years ago, his father brought him here, bought wine and sang songs here.
On May 2nd, under the mist of Triple Hill, Li launched an attack outside Luzhou.
Before the camp got up, the Jin army had been killed like a landslide and tsunami.
Hundreds of thousands of Liang Jun fell in one fell swoop. More than 300 famous ministers, including Fu Daozhao, were captured, and more than 10,000 were wiped out.
After two years of battle in Luzhou, Jin won, Li finally occupied Luzhou, and Sanjin became a stable rear area. Jin and Liang competed for hegemony. In the later period, Jin began to turn from defending to attacking, gradually gaining the upper hand and finally destroying Liang in one fell swoop.
Hearing the news of Luzhou's fiasco, Zhu Wen couldn't help sighing: Li Keyong had such a son, who died and ascended to heaven! Looking up to see his sons, Zhu Wen suddenly felt sick and said how he gave birth to a group of useless pigs! In 9 12, Zhu Wen was killed by his pig-like son You Zhu _, at the age of 6 1 year.
Sanchuangang witnessed the inheritance of a father and son's life and dreams, and also announced the rise of a generation of God of War Li.
The fate of war figures moves towards Li: Li's performance on the battlefield is close to perfection. After the Battle of Mie Gang, Li, Zhu Wen fought for Hebei. Two years later, he led the 8 Jin Army to defeat Zhu Wen in Baixiang, and won an important victory in Hebei battlefield, and then settled Liu Shouguang in Youzhou. In 9 16, after the Weizhou War, the Houliang forces were completely driven out of Hebei.
In 923 AD, Li proclaimed himself emperor in Weizhou and established the post-Tang regime. In the same year, Li led a surprise attack on Liang and destroyed the back beam, ending the hegemony between Jin and Liang for more than 40 years. Later, Li fought Bashu in Xiping and Qidan in the north, becoming the overlord on the battlefield of that era.
History played a big joke on the Shatuo people. Li, their heroic and invincible hero on the battlefield, did not know how to take care of his booty after he immediately won half of the Central Plains. Since then, Li's arrogance and extravagance have made eunuchs and actresses run the country badly, and famous ministers have been killed one after another. Guo Chongtao, the first official in the later Tang Dynasty, made great contributions in the battle of destroying Liang and Pingshu, just like the later Tang Dynasty, but was killed by Queen Liu with Li's connivance. Zhu, Li, and other important officials were also dismissed one after another, and the prosperous post-Tang dynasty was messed up.
In 926 AD, Li Siyuan, Li's general, saw that the heroes of the later Tang Dynasty were punished one by one. Li became more and more suspicious of himself, so he launched a mutiny first. Conductor Guo, a former actor, is his adopted son. On weekdays, he is very close to Guo Chongtao and regards him as an uncle. Li and Guo were killed. Guo harbors resentment and lurks beside Li. He is favored by Li and is in charge of the guards around Li. When Li Siyuan rose up, Guo also tried to launch a palace mutiny. Li was on the verge of quelling the chaos and was shot in the chaos.
During the war, no one came to collect the bodies of the founding emperors and heroes in the later Tang Dynasty. Li's favorite actor lit a fire with Li's favorite musical instrument and cremated the Shatuo people.
At first, the hundred-year-old song sung by the actor on Sanchaogang seemed to imply Li's fate.
Zhou Dewei: The Shatuo people were able to win the battle with Zhu Wen and become the protagonists of that era. Besides Li, a number of outstanding generals, such as Li, Li Siyuan and Li Cunshen, emerged, among which Zhou Dewei was the most prominent.
In the battle of Luzhou, hundreds of thousands of troops besieged Luzhou, Li Shoucheng and Zhou Dewei led the troops to rescue. He often attacked Liang Jun with elite cavalry, which made Liang Jun unable to attack the city with peace of mind and was trapped in Luzhou for a long time. Li Rang was surprised, and Zhou Dewei took the lead as a striker.
After the Battle of Baixiang, Zhou Dewei went to war with Li. According to the current weak condition, he suggested to Li that he beat him to exhaustion before playing. On the day of the decisive battle, Li was once unable to resist the decisive battle with Liang Jun. Zhou Dewei grabbed Li's horse's head and said that he could not fight yet, and he would attack again when he was tired at night. Li followed his advice and won a brilliant victory in the battle of white elephants.
In 9 18, Liang and Jin fought another war in Huliupo. Zhou Dewei once again proposed to Li Jian to adopt the old tactics of White Elephant War, and consumed the enemy before attacking. But Li, who won many times, didn't listen this time, and led the army to fight fiercely with Liang Jun. Although 8 Jin J played miserably, Zhou Dewei and his son were both killed in this war.
War conjecture: The Shatuo nationality rose at the end of the Tang Dynasty, and its influence was implanted in the Central Plains. After the demise of the Tang Dynasty, three regimes were established in the Five Dynasties and Ten States. Later Zhou Dynasty and Song Dynasty were also the inheritance of the regime established by Shatuo people. Shatuo is undoubtedly the most dazzling protagonist in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period.
However, there is a strange phenomenon. Compared with other ethnic minorities in history, historians in China played down the differences between Shatuo people and Han people. Later Tang Dynasty, Jin Dynasty and Han Dynasty were regarded as traditional Central Plains regimes. Therefore, Shi Jingtang ceded sixteen states of Youyun, which was regarded as a great shame by historians, and Shi Jingtang himself became a traitor and traitor in history.
Come to think of it, Shi Jingtang is a Shatuo, and the so-called dark cloud is originally someone else's territory.
Is this phenomenon because the post-Song dynasty inherited the team created by the Shatuo people, or does the post-Han rulers think that the Shatuo people have been sinicized enough, and Han and Sha have long been a family? Or did the Shatuo people make an indelible contribution to ending the separatist regime in the late Tang Dynasty, the rebellion in the Central Plains, and the north's rejection of the capital of Qidan? No matter what the answer is, in the eyes of Han people, Shatuo people are not too annoying names.
