Wang Zhongsi (706-750), formerly known as Xun, was born in Qixian County, Taiyuan, Shanxi Province, and later moved to Zhengxian County, Huazhou (now Huaxian County, Shaanxi Province), a famous Tang Dynasty. My father's seaside, famous for his bravery, was once led by the right guard and Feng 'an ambassador from the official to the prince. When Wang Zhongsi was nine years old, Wang Haibin died in the defence of Tubo Songzhou and was posthumously awarded as General Sargingo. Zhong Si grew up in the palace, and Xuanzong accepted him as a fake son, giving him the name of Zhong Si, and often played with Zhong Jun Hengli. Once Xuanzong talked with him about the art of war, and he "took everything by surprise." Xuanzong was very valued and said to people, "This son will be a good general in the future." In 747 AD, Wang Zhongsi was demoted as the satrap of Hanyang because he was jealous of Li. In 748, after he was transferred to the Northeast Army, he was appointed as the satrap of Handong County. The following year (749), he died suddenly at the age of 45.

Wang Zhongsi, Fifty-third in Biography of Old Tang Dynasty
Wang Zhongsi, a native of Qi in Taiyuan, lives in Zheng County, Iowa. Father seaside, Prince Youwei, Fengan Army, Taigu Gong, is famous for his bravery. In July of the second year of Kaiyuan, when Tubo invaded, Xue Ne took General Zuo Yulin as the defense envoy of Longyou, led Du Bin, Guo Zhiyun, Wang Yun and An to defend, with the seashore as the pioneer. And thieves in the western border of Wu Jieyi, Weizhou, suffered a bitter defeat and suffered heavy casualties. The generals were jealous of their achievements and didn't save them. The seaside was outnumbered and killed in the battle. Taking advantage of the situation, the army beheaded 17 thousand people and seized 75 thousand horses and 140 thousand cattle and sheep. Xuanzong sympathized with him and presented a letter to General Sargingo.
Zhong Si was nine years old when he started training. His father died in the court and began to worship the doctors and serve the royal family. Given the name Zhong Si, he was raised in the forbidden area for many years. Su Zong is in Zhongyi Mansion, traveling with him. However, Long and Xiong Yi are taciturn and serious about military strategy. Xuanzong and his military adviser, talking about soldiers, were all unexpected. Xuanzong said, "I want to be a good general from now on." In eighteen years, he gave his father Anxi protection.
Later, he was appointed as a military envoy from Hexi, Xiao Song, the minister of the Ministry of War, Deputy Marshal Hedong and Wang Yi of Xin 'an. Twenty-one years later, he was transferred to General Lang Wei, General Hexi, General Zuo Weiwei, Zijin Fish Bag and Qingyuan people, and concurrently served as the governor of Daizhou. Wang Yu, the righteous brother of Huangfu Weiming, felt sorry, so he was trapped and demoted to Zuo Guo Yi, Dongyang Prefecture. I will make Du in Hexi, hope to pull out the new city, or make things up loyally, and I will win. I hope I can hear you. I will chase the loyal heir to Hexi. Since I went to a new city, I have done a lot of loyal work. Because I was ordered to command Zuo Wei Lang Wei, I only knew how to March. It was autumn, Tubo came down, and the battle report of the new city came. In the morning, the loyalist was defeated and outnumbered. All teachers and men are afraid. Loyal children rode ahead with his troops and rushed from side to side. When they were all easy, they reunited, killing hundreds of people and causing confusion among thieves. The three armies attacked it with wings, and Tubo was defeated. The most meritorious, worship Sajingo general Wei as an official, looking for him as the general of Zuo Yu Army, the deputy envoy of Hedong and the ambassador of Datong. Twenty-eight years, along with the official and acting governor, he became a doctor, and he served as general Yunhui in Hedong. In twenty-nine years, Dai Weiguang was appointed as our ambassador in Shuofang, and he still attached great importance to Hedong. That month, Tian was accused of being our envoy to Hedong, and Zhong Si was still in the north.
In the first year of Tianbao, it was also the secretariat of Lingzhou. It was the Northern Expedition when 18 years old. Xi and Nu people were fighting in Sanggan River. After three defeats, he captured the generals and became arrogant. At that time, there were difficulties inside the Turkish Ye Hu, and the loyal heirs were strong enough to swear by force. Usumish Khan was afraid and asked to surrender, but he could not delay. Tadashi attacked Mishhan between Baximi and Grolu and the Uighur tribe. Zhong Si sent troops to behead his right wing, and Pijiakedun, the protector of his western leaves, and Gladow, the male murderer, led his troops into the DPRK, because of adding General Zuo Wuwei. Anger again next year will affect all Turks. Naturally, I dare not go out of the Great Wall, while Lu dares not enter. In the third year of Tianbao, the nine-surname Basiye fans of Turkey attacked and killed Usumi Khan and spread it to the first capital. In four years, I accepted the advice of an ancient scholar and served as an interview envoy of Hedong. In May, I entered Qingyuan County.
Loyal heirs are less brave and conceited, and they are loyal to the border. As the saying goes, "the peace of the country is only for the generals to comfort their people." . I don't want to get tired of China's power and make a name for myself. "But training horses and chariots, insufficient. The lacquer bow is 150 Jin, so it's useless to put it in the bag. The army thinks about war day and night, because there are many spies and other gaps, and sometimes it is attacked by surprise soldiers, so the scholars enjoy themselves and the teachers will win. When each army comes out, it will ask its generals to hand over their weapons to the foot soldiers. Although it is a bow and arrow, the name will be written on it, but the army will stop. If it is lost, test its name and test its sin. An old friend gave himself advice, and a battle started.
For four years, he also served as an interviewer for Hedong Festival. From the north to the clouds, thousands of miles away, we should explore the old city strategically, or create our own system, and spend hundreds of miles each. More than 40 years after Zhang, loyal ministers succeeded to the throne, and the people in the north stopped fighting. In the first month of five years, after He Long was defeated by Huangfu Weiming, because of his loyalty, he was sentenced to Wuwei County, serving as our envoy in Hexi and Longyou. In the month, Quan Zhiwu was in the east of Shuofang River. General Zhong Si Pei, with the seal, controlled Wan Li and the military town, all of which belonged to the master. Since the beginning of the country, there was nothing left. Looking for hung hom Qing who moved to the capital, the rest are the same, plus Dr. Jin ziguang Lu, who is still giving a son five senses. After frequent campaigns in Qinghai and Jishi, they were all great. Looking for grain, muddy in the ink, return to the old country. At the beginning, Zhong Si stayed in Hedong and Shuofang for a long time, preparing for border administration, and won the heart of foot soldiers. Speaking of Helong, he is quite unfamiliar with material feelings, with both fame and fortune, and hopes to return to the past. It is held in April, which enables Shuofang and Hedong to celebrate this festival.
Xuanzong was in charge of Shibao City, and he asked for a plan to capture it. Zhong Si said, "The stone fort is in danger and solid, and the Tubo people will defend it all over the country. Enemy at the Gates, tens of thousands of people died, and then things were profitable. I'm afraid the loss outweighs the gain. Please don't fight any more. Get your horse ready and watch the trouble. Take it. " Xuanzong is unhappy. Li is especially jealous of loyalty, and he is very welcome. After six years, Dong gave an idea to invite him to Shibaocheng, and ordered Zhong Si to divide his forces to meet him. Yan Guang was very unhappy that the loyal heir obeyed. Hexi military forces put Li Guangbi in danger and rushed in to sue. When he arrived at the imperial court, Zhong Si said, "What can I do for General Li?" Guangbi went on to say, "Please discuss the army." Zhong Si said, "Why?" Yes, he said, "Dr. Xiang's heart is a foot soldier, and he has the color of rejecting Dong. Although he said he was summoned, he really put his plan into practice. who is it? How can Jia Sanjun be brave when doctors pay tens of thousands of people without a big reward? The doctor has money, so why not cherish the tens of thousands of rewards? If he is unhappy, blame the doctor. " Zhong You said, "General Li, Zhong You's plan has been made. Looking forward to life, is it expensive? Today, if we fight for a city, we will not be defeated by the enemy and we will not be hurt by the country. How do loyal heirs exchange tens of thousands of lives for an official? If you knew your responsibility, would you lose General Jin Wu Yu Lin and go back to Korea to defend it? Secondly, have you lost a little help? This place is willing. Although, Gong loves me. " Guangbi thanked him and said, "I'm afraid I'm tired of the doctor before I dare to tell you with my heart." Doctors can do what the ancients did, but light can't. " And rush out. And the extension of light is overdue, loyalty and righteousness are delayed, so the teacher is useless. Li also told him not to rush to tell his loyal heir that he wanted to be a secretariat in Shuozhou, and that loyal heir was in Hedong to save our time. As the saying goes, "I have been in the palace with Zhongjun for a long time, and I want to honor the prince." Xuanzong was furious, because he was recruited into the DPRK, he was sent to the third division for interrogation and was sentenced to death several times. I want to pay tribute to Ge, his loyalty to Longyou, and I am very grateful for your kindness. Because I wasted my loyalty, my words were sincere. Please use your official title to make amends. Xuanzong's anger eased slightly. In November, he was demoted to Hanyang Prefecture. In the seventh year of the Republic of China, he moved to be the prefect of Han Dong County. Sudden death next year, 45. Zizhen became a secretary in Tianbao.
Later, Ge Hanshu attacked Shibao City and pulled it out. Most of the dead are called contemporary famous soldiers, just as the loyal subjects' heirs said. First of all, Tadashi is in the north, and every time he goes to the mutual market, he overestimates the price of horses to lure him. Fans have heard about it, vying for the market and buying them one after another. Therefore, there are few soldiers and horses, while Tang Jun is strong. In Linjiang and Gansu, 9,000 soldiers and horses were invited from Shuofang and Hedong, and the army was strong. By the end of Tianbao, the horse was already in full swing. In the first year of Baoying, the Minister of War was posthumously awarded.
Mitchell said that Guo Qian, Guo Zhiyun, Wang Junkuo, Zhang Shousheng, Niu Xianke and Wang Zhongsi, who have made great achievements in the frontier, are the world's tiger ministers, while Ban Chao and Fu Jiezi. But if you have the sincerity to take thousands of people to the West, please give them public transportation and cooked food, which can be said to be unscrupulous. Jun kuo holds the throne with his father, and soldiers cannot go out. This is ignorance of what happened outside the door, and it is without hesitation. What is the difference between Shouxuan's sincere feelings for God and her husband Geng Gong's worship of wells? Xianke, from the corner of the square, suddenly boarded the corridor temple, showing his willingness to discuss the matter, being independent, not good at covering up, and not knowing Chen Li. Loyal heir because of the blue fly, a few dangerous, slanderous words, sincere and terrible!
The life of the character
Son of loyal minister
Wang Zhongsi, a native of Qi in Taiyuan, lives in Zheng County, Huazhou. His father, Haibin, was the right-back commander of the Prince, the envoy of Feng 'an Army and Taigu Gong, and was famous for his bravery in Gansu. In July of the second year of Kaiyuan (July14), the Tubo invaded, and the court appointed Xue Ne as the deputy commander of Yulin, which was the defense history of Longyou, and led Du Bin, Guo Zhiyun, Wang Yun and An Si Shun to resist, taking the seashore as the pioneer. When the thieves arrived at the Wu Jie post on the western border of Weizhou, they fought a bitter battle and killed and captured many enemy troops. The generals were jealous of their achievements and held their horses. The seaside was killed in battle because it was outnumbered. The army seized the opportunity to attack, beheading 17,000 enemy troops and seizing 75,000 war horses and 140,000 cattle and sheep. After hearing this, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty regretted it and ordered it to be given to General Sargingo.
Tadashi was originally named Xun. At the age of nine, because his father died for the court, he was awarded the titles of doctor, servant and loyal heir. He was supported in the forbidden palace for many years. Su Zong and Zhong Si are playing at his house. When he grew up, Xiong Yi seldom spoke and was respected for his military skills. Because he was a military strategist, Xuanzong discussed the art of war with him, which was unexpected. Xuanzong said to him, "You will be a good soldier in the future." In the eighteenth year (730), he named his father Anxi as the chief nurse.
After that, Zhong Si was recommended as a military special envoy, following our envoy from Hexi, Xiao Song, minister of war, and Li Yi, deputy marshal of Hedong. Twenty-one years (733), he was promoted to the position of commander-in-chief of Zuo, the assistant commander of Hexi, the general of Zuo Weiwei, the gift of Zijin fish bag, the Duke of Qingyuan, and the state governor. Wang Yu, who once talked about Huangfu Weiming's righteous brother, felt very sorry, so he was framed and demoted to Dongyang Left. Du, our special envoy Hexi, hopes to plan and occupy the new city. Some people say that loyalty is enough, and if he wants to win, he must. Hoping to be invited at once, the emperor ordered the faithful heir to go to Hexi. After taking the new town, the loyal heir made outstanding achievements in military service and was given the title of Wei to take charge of the marching troops. In the autumn of this year, the Tubo soldiers went south to avenge the occupation of the new town. The enemy approached the loyalist, and the loyalist was outnumbered and the soldiers were afraid. So Zhong Siling led his men to ride horses and rushed to kill them. Those who stopped them all dodged, rushed out and turned back, killing hundreds of people, and the thieves and soldiers began to mess up. The three armies attacked from two wings, and Tubo was defeated. Because of his outstanding military exploits, the emperor awarded Sha Jinwuwei an imperial edict to his fellow officials. Soon, he served as a general in Zuo Yujun, an assistant envoy in Hedong and an envoy in Datong. In the twenty-eighth year (740), the official was still acting as the governor, taking the advice of the ancient doctor, supplementing our time in Hedong and adding General Yun Hui. Twenty-nine years (74 1), instead of Wei Guangcheng, he was appointed as the envoy of Shuofang, and he was appointed as the envoy of Hedong for many times. This month, Tian was appointed as our special envoy Hedong, and Zhong Si was still appointed as our special envoy Shuofang.
In the first year of Tianbao (742), he was also the governor of Lingzhou. In this year's Northern Expedition, Xi fought with him in Sanggan River, defeated him three times, captured a large number of his troops and returned home in triumph. At this time, civil strife had just occurred in Yehu, Turkey, and a loyal heir led a powerful army to deter by force. Usumish Khan is afraid to ask for surrender, but it is urgent to change the regime. Therefore, Zhong Si used the double spy strategy between Bashimi, Grolu and Uighur tribes to attack Mishhan and make him flee. Wang Zhongsi sent troops to crusade and took his right wing and returned. His West Leaf Guards Pigakton and Nancy killed Gerardo, led his tribe to worship more than 1,000 families in Beijing and gave them to General Zuo Wuwei. The next year, he defeated the Turkish army. Since then, the Great Wall has been stable, and the Lu people dare not attack. In the third year of Tianbao (744), nine Hu Ye families, including the Turkish Baximi, jointly attacked Usumi Khan and spread his head to the capital. In the fourth year (745), Zhong was awarded an ancient consultant and served as an interviewer for Hedong Festival. In May, he was named the Duke of Qingyuan County.
When Tadashi was young, he was brave and conceited. When he was in a high position, he took it as his duty to be steady and secure the border. Someone once said: "When the country is stable, the duty of being a general is only to support the army. I don't want to rely on the power of the country to gain personal fame. " Training, insufficient weight must be made up. There is a lacquer bow weighing 150 kg, which was once put in a bag, indicating that it is of little use. Soldiers in the army think about war day and night. Because detectives are often sent to observe the enemy's weak places and then surprise soldiers, soldiers like to do so, and the teacher wins. Every time the army goes out, the generals are asked to send weapons and distribute them to the soldiers. Although it is a bow and arrow, they all write the user's name on it and take it back after the battle. If it is lost, it will be identified and punished. So everyone encourages themselves to have enough weapons.
Four towns festival
In four years (745), he served as our time in Hedong. From Shuofang to Yunzhong, the border line is thousands of miles long, and key areas develop the old city, while some places make their own rules and develop hundreds of miles of border areas. Due to Zhang Shoubian's 40-odd years, Zhong Si inherited this matter, and the North Sai Hu people fought again. In the first month of the fifth year (746), because Huangfu Weiming was defeated in Hexi and Longyou, he was appointed as the magistrate of Xiping County and was awarded as Wuwei County, and served as my envoy in Hexi and Longyou. This month, we temporarily replaced Shuofang and Hedong. Loyal heirs wear four kinds of seals and control Wan Li, which is in the hands of powerful soldiers. There has never been such a thing since the founding of the People's Republic. Soon, he was awarded the "Hung Hom Sutra", and the rest of the posts remained unchanged. In addition, it was awarded to Dr. Jin Guanglu, and one of his sons was awarded five official positions. Later, he fought frequently in Qinghai, Jishi and other places and won a great victory. Soon after, he conquered Tuyuhun in Molly and conquered the whole country. At the beginning, Zhong Si was in Hedong and Shuofang for a long time, and he was very familiar with the situation in the frontier and won the hearts of foot soldiers. When I arrived in Helong, I was not used to the local customs, fame and fortune, and my prestige was lower than before. In April this year, he insisted on giving up the positions of Shuofang and Hedong, and the emperor agreed.
Be slandered
Xuanzong was considering capturing Shibao City, and issued an imperial edict to discuss ways to attack and fight. Zhong Si said, "Shibao City is in a dangerous terrain, and Tubo is fully guarding it. If we attack its fortified city with tired troops, the enemy will kill tens of thousands of people, and then the war can be ended. I don't think what I get is better than what I lose. Please stop fighting, prepare a horse, observe the development of the situation and catch it. This is the best policy. " Xuanzong was therefore unhappy. Li is particularly jealous of his loyal son and finds fault with him every day. In the sixth year (747), Dong proposed a plan to capture Shibaocheng, and the emperor ordered Zhong Si to divide his forces to meet the enemy. The loyal heir reluctantly obeyed, and Yan Guang was very unhappy. Hexi military forces let Li Guangbi warn of danger and ran in to tell him. When he arrived, Zhong Si asked, "What can I do for General Li?" Guangbi stepped forward and said, "Please discuss the military situation." Tadashi said: Why? Guangbi replied, "The doctor took foot soldiers as his own heart and turned down Dong with a scowl. Although he accepted the imperial edict, he actually delayed his strategy. Why? How can a doctor summon up the courage of the three armed forces when he leads tens of thousands of troops to war, but he doesn't hang a big reward? Dr. Qian Man Cang, why bother to kill slanderers with ten thousand rewards? If you can't win this battle, you will blame the doctor. " Zhong said, "General Li, my decision has been made. Is my first wish in life to pursue dignitaries? Today, we are fighting for a city. If we get it, we can't contain the enemy. If you can't get it, it's harmless to the country. How could Zhong Si exchange tens of thousands of lives for an official position? If the emperor blames me, it won't make me lose a general Jin Wu Yu Lin and go back to North Korea as a bodyguard! Secondly, don't you need a helper in Guizhou? I am willing to do that, but you still love me. " Guangbi thanked him. "I'm worried about bringing trouble to the doctor, so I'll give you some advice. "Doctors can follow the things of the ancients, which is beyond my power." So respectfully quit. When Yan Guang failed to occupy the castle within the time limit, it was said that Zhong Si delayed sending troops, which led to the failure of the war. Li also ordered Jiyang not to drive out false accusations against Zhong Si, claiming that when Zhong Si was the secretariat of Shuozhou and was appointed as my ambassador to Hedong, Zhong Si once said, "I would like to live with the prince in my early years." Xuanzong was furious, summoned Zhong Si into the court, ordered the Third Division to examine him in detail, and was almost framed to death. It happened that Ge took the place of Zhong Si to celebrate the Dragon Tour Festival and was favored by the emperor. Therefore, he said that Zhong Si had been wronged, and his words were sincere, requesting the official position to atone for Zhong Si. Xuanzong's anger eased slightly. In November, he was demoted to Hanyang Prefecture. In seven years (748), after weighing, he was transferred to the Prefecture of Han Dong County. The following year (749), he died suddenly at the age of 45. Zizhen, secretary of Cheng in Tianbao period (742).
Later, Geshuhan commanded an army to attack Shibao City and occupied the city, but most of them were killed or injured. As Tadashi said, contemporary people call him a great star. Before that, when Zhongsi was in Shuofang, whenever he went to the market, he bought horses at a high price to lure him. When fans heard about it, they all rushed to exchange it and bought it when they came. So there are fewer and fewer barbarian horses, but the Han army is getting stronger and stronger. When we arrived in Hexi and Gansu, we made a request to transfer 9,000 horses from Shuofang and Hedong to supplement the army, and its team grew again. By the end of Tianbao, the breeding of war horses had increased. In the first year of Baoying (762), he was posthumously awarded the Minister of War.
Since the 21st year of Kaiyuan (733), Zhong Si has successively served as a general, a general Zuo Weiwei, a general Sarginggewei, a general Zuo Yulin, an envoy of Hedong, a secretariat of Daizhou, a secretariat of Shuofang, a secretariat of Lingzhou, an envoy of Hedong, an envoy of Hexi and an envoy of Longyou.
In the autumn of the 26th year of Kaiyuan (738), Tubo rebelled and invaded the frontier. Loyal heir led his men to counterinsurgency, ran from side to side, reunited easily, killed hundreds of people, and Tubo was defeated. Later, the northern expedition to the Xi nationality pacified Tuyuhun and weakened its strength by using the contradictions among the nobles of the western Turkic ministries. In the 29th year of Kaiyuan (74 1), when Ren Shuo was released as an ambassador, he paid attention to improving relations with ethnic minorities, trading with the northwest ethnic groups such as Turks and buying horses at high prices. At the same time, silk, ironware and grain from the mainland were also introduced into the Turkic region, which promoted the production development of ethnic minorities and exchanged materials and culture. He advocates that all ethnic groups live in peace and try to avoid conflicts and wars.
Once, Xuanzong attacked the Tubo stone fort and asked about the capture plan. Zhong Si said, "The Stone Castle is dangerous and impregnable, and the whole country of Tubo will defend it. If the troops are stationed at the gates and tens of thousands of people die, I'm afraid the loss outweighs the gain. Please stop fighting and prepare the horses. " Xuanzong disagreed. After Dong invited Shi Baocheng to attack, Xuanzong sent troops to meet the enemy. He couldn't walk any further. He said to Li Guangbi, "If we fight for a city today, we will not be able to control the enemy, and we will do something harmful to the country. How can a loyal heir exchange tens of thousands of lives for an official? " Did you lose a general if you knew your duty? "This made Yan Guang start in vain and finally stopped fighting.
During the prosperous period of the Tang Empire, including the "Kaiyuan Shi Sheng" period, the borders of the Tang Empire were not peaceful, but wars were frequent. On the long border, from northeast to northwest, from southwest to southeast, wars are everywhere. On the one hand, this is because the generals of the Tang Dynasty insulted each other with their strong national strength and forced them to rise up and resist; On the other hand, it is also caused by the predatory habits of nomadic people. For example, in the border areas from northwest to northeast, Xi people, Qidan people, Tubo people and Turks often harass the Datang border and rob horses, grain and population. If a small group of Tang Jun comes, it will defeat Tang Jun. If it meets most of Tang Jun, it will stay away from the desert and avoid its sharpness. Tang Xuanzong, who made great efforts, was very dissatisfied with this and decided to change this situation. Therefore, he repeatedly urged the generals in the border town to fight abroad and give them the kindness of the Tang Dynasty. Wang Zhongsi ordered and responded positively, and planned a series of wars to consolidate the frontier defense.
In 742 AD, in the first year of Tianbao in the Tang Dynasty, Wang Zhongsi led 100,000 cavalry to the north of Yanmen, and fought with the Qidan Army for three consecutive times in Sanggan River, all of which won a total victory. At that time, the Xi people and the Qidan people formed a strong alliance, but they were completely wiped out by the army led by Wang Zhongsi! Khitan Khan escaped alone and was soon killed by his men. Thirty-six Khitan armies all joined the Tang Dynasty and did not dare to make an insurrection for decades. Therefore, Wang Zhongsi gained a great reputation. Naturally, Tang Jun is also famous and invincible.
In August of the same year, the post-Turkic khanate rebelled against the Tang Dynasty due to civil strife, and Wang Zhongsi presented Xuanzong with eighteen policies of appeasement. Subsequently, the Turkic khanate was defeated by Simi, Uighur and Gloria. More than a thousand households in the post-Turkic khanate were returned to the Tang Dynasty. Since then, the post-Turkic khanate has declined, and it has been unable to pose a substantial threat to the borders of the Tang Empire.
However, Wang Zhongsi did not indulge in the glory of the past, but actively took measures to "pre-empt". In the second year of Tianbao, Wang Zhongsi led the troops to defeat the Turks again, and the situation beyond the Great Wall was fundamentally changed.
Because of a series of sideline businesses, Wang Zhongsi was more and more appreciated by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, so he also frequently increased his rank and rank. In the fourth year of Tianbao, Wang Zhongsi took the advice of an ancient doctor and served as our envoy in Hedong. In May of the same year, he entered Qingyuan County.
However, Wang Zhongsi is a loyal minister, and he has never been rebellious, nor is he tyrannical and cruel. He was diligent in politics and cherished soldiers, and made great contributions to the border peace of the Tang Empire.
During the period of our time in Shuofang and Hedong, Wang Zhongsi was in charge of the area from Shuofang to Yun Yun, and the border line was thousands of miles long. In order to strengthen the defense, Wang Zhongshi built castles in key places. In some places, the old cities were built in Tang Jun before, so Wang Zhongsi sent someone to repair them and continue to use them. In some places, the terrain is dangerous. If there is no old city, Wang Zhongsi will send someone to build a new city according to the risk.
The solid city defense is continuous, equivalent to the Great Wall of Wan Li. However, the Great Wall of Wan Li is more suitable for popularization because of its small quantities and great functions. This practice can not only achieve military purposes, but also reduce the amount of labor, prevent soldiers from overworking, and save government finances, so Wang Zhongsi won unanimous praise from top to bottom. The soldiers especially supported the brave and resourceful general.
From another point of view, Wang Zhongsi's construction of the Yugoslav capital not only changed the predicament that Tang Jun had nowhere to defend, but also the huge Tang Jun strengthened its border defense with flexible nomadic troops, which opened up hundreds of miles of border territory for the Tang Dynasty Empire. On the vast plains, strong castles stand tall, and those brave nomads dare not easily harass the Tang Empire. Since then, there have been fewer and fewer border wars.
In 746 AD, the fifth year of the Tang Dynasty, January was freezing. The Longyou Festival, which once framed Wang Zhongsi, caused Huangfu Weiming to fall into a trough in his life, and was framed by Prime Minister Li (the prince was also framed by luck, which will be described later) and was deprived of the post of our festival. After careful consideration, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty decided not to recruit talents, but to replace them with Wang Zhongsi, who had made great contributions. So far, Wang Zhongsi has served as our envoy in Hexi, Longyou, Shuofang and Hedong. It is not surprising that one man wears four seals, controls the frontier of Wan Li and holds the strongest military town in the world. In the history of the Tang Dynasty,
At that time, there were 267,700 troops in the four towns. For Wang Zhongsi, it is really a land of profit! Alas, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty was also confused and entrusted the safety of the world to Wang Chongsi alone! Fortunately, Wang Zhongsi is a loyal minister, otherwise, the disaster of the world may have happened long ago.
Wang Zhongsi does have some advantages as our ambassador to the four towns. One of the most direct consequences is that Wang Zhongsi can be more familiar with the strength of cities and towns, adjust each other and achieve a balance of power.
After Wang Zhongsi arrived in Longyou and Hexi, he saw that the cavalry in the two towns was not strong and there were few horses. Therefore, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty invited people to gather 9,000 military forces in the towns of Shuofang and Hedong to enrich the military strength of the towns of Hexi and Longyou. Since then, the military strength of these two towns has also become stronger.
At that time, although Wang Zhongsi defeated the Tubo many times, the strength of the Tubo still existed and sometimes harassed the border. Wang Zhongsi saw that the four towns were very powerful, so he went to Xuanzong and decided to fight against Tubo. Xuanzong naturally responded generously.
Wang Zhongsi was ordered to concentrate superior forces and successively fought against the Tubo army in Qinghai (now Qinghai Lake) and Jishi (now Mount Animaqing in Qinghai), and defeated the Tubo army. Later, he fought against Tuyuhun, the minister attached to the Tubo, in Mojun (ruling Jinchang, now Suoyangcheng, southeast of Anxi, Gansu Province), defeated Tuyuhun and captured his followers.
Another reason why Wang Zhongsi is a good soldier is that he is a commander who knows how to make good use of people! When he was in office, he was not immersed in the aura of power, but far-sighted and vigorously cultivated and explored reserve talents for the Tang Empire.
After Wang Zhongsi went to Hexi, he heard that there was an able man in the area who could read Zuo's Spring and Autumn Annals and Hanshu. He understood the great righteousness and was generous in helping the poor, which won the support of the soldiers. Wang Zhongsi was very excited when he heard that there was such a figure, and immediately sent someone to search.
Who is an able person? It's Goshuhan! Since Chang 'an was frustrated, Ge worked hard, practiced martial arts and trained soldiers. He reads Chunqiu and Hanshu in the evening, and sometimes reading a loyal and heroic person is actually clapping his hands. If he reads that he has been framed and victimized, he will cry bitterly and beat his chest. Reading history is like drinking,
Geshuhan has long heard of Wang Zhongsi's name and wants to meet him. Now he has a chance to meet him.
