It was also his combination of civil and military skills that made him shine in later history. At first, he couldn't show his ambition. He farmed at home, went to work in a large local family, met Miss Liu, got married and had children.
When Xue was 30 years old, he wanted to change his fate by moving his ancestral grave. His wife advised him that now that the emperor himself led the army to conquer Liaodong, you should join the army. Now is a good time for you to make a contribution. So he joined the army and began his legendary life on the battlefield for 40 years.
In the nineteenth year of Zhenguan, Xue took the lead in the battlefield with his bravery and white robe, which was unstoppable and the enemy was in chaos. So Tang Jun took advantage of the chaos and stormed, and the enemy was defeated. He was regarded as a coveted minister by Emperor Taizong. Emperor Taizong ordered Xue to guard Xuanwu Gate when he returned to Korea, until he was heroically rescued from mountain torrents and set foot on the road of war again.
During the reign, Xue led the army to fight. First, it conquered Chifeng Town, and then it defeated the 30,000-strong army led by Doufanglou. In the second year, on the battlefields of Hengshan, Shicheng and Montenegro, he was unstoppable and won a great victory. In the fourth year, the Uighur tribe was defeated and the ten-year rebellion in the north was put down. In the eighth year, Goguryeo and Xue, such as Howard the Duck, were conquered, and Goguryeo was finally destroyed.
Xue has made outstanding contributions all his life, but he lost the battle of Qinghai, so he was reduced from a general to a civilian. Later, Goguryeo defected again, and Xue was activated again. The pro-handsome army defeated the Turks and finally died in Yanmenguan.
Xue Dongzheng is almost a stranger to us, except that he was a famous general of the ancient Tang Dynasty in China. He fought in the battlefield all his life and made many achievements. He was highly valued by the emperor Li Shimin at that time, and held great military power in his hands.

But it is also one of the few people in history who are fully armed but not feared by the emperor. The story about him is widely circulated among the people. It has even been adapted into various versions by many people, some written as novels and some made into TV dramas. Among them, the story of Xue Dongzheng is even more popular.
I believe many people have read Xue's The Journey to the West, which is one of China's famous popular novels. This novel is based on the story of his expedition to the East. The book is in the form of chapters and chapters, with a lot of content, easy to understand and worth reading.
Many years ago, there was a story about Xue Dongzheng among the people. Xue was originally from a noble family, but times have changed, and he has little influence in his generation. He was a famous person in the Tang Dynasty, a famous politician and strategist in the ancient history of China. He was also described as a "wise minister who should dream" with a generation of wise king Li Shimin. His surname is Xue, and his first name is polite. Born in 6 14, died on March 24th, 683. He belongs to the most populous Han nationality in China. He was from Jiangzhou, Shanxi Province at that time, which is also from Hejin City, Shanxi Province today. In order to recover Liaodong area and realize the long-cherished wish of unifying the world, Li Shimin sent troops to Korea for three times. In 668 AD, Xue He and other generals captured Pyongyang, captured korean king, and Koguryo perished.
Mrs. Xue is either Xue or a famous general in the Tang Dynasty. His wife followed him when she was down and out, and she always stood by him.
Xue and his wife Tu.
Xue is an extraordinary family, but his generation has declined, and because he spent a lot of money studying, he not only learned literature, but also found a master to practice martial arts, which made his family besieged. At first, he couldn't show his ambition. He farmed at home, went to work in a large local family, met Miss Liu, got married and had children. He followed his wife's advice and began to join the army, which later opened his legendary life of 40 years in the battlefield.
Xue's wife, according to historical records, was the eldest miss of the Liu family in Hedong at that time, and the Liu family was a large local family. Her name is not detailed in the book. Some people say yes, and there is also Liu's statement. Some people say that Liu Yinghuan and Liu Yingchun are names. It is said that the name Liu Yinghuan is more credible. As for, only the novel Xue Zhengdong is recorded in this way.
In history, Liu was an educated, knowledgeable and discerning woman. It plays an extremely important role in Xue's life. From the beginning, Liu can recognize the hero at a glance, which shows that his eyesight is extraordinary. Even if he has nothing, he can break the shackles of traditional ethics, break through the traditional concept of "improper door is wrong, improper door is wrong" and stick to Xue Guiren. Today, it takes a lot of courage.
Liu Ye is a visionary woman. She didn't covet the immediate stability and comfort, encouraged Xue to realize the ideal of serving the country and knew the situation at that time. Knowing that the emperor was marching eastward, she invited Xue to join the army. I take care of the children at home and take care of everything at home by myself, so that he has no worries. Therefore, after his great success, Xue did not forget his wife Liu's exhortation and dedication to himself.
Therefore, the great achievements of Xue Yisheng are inextricably linked with this woman Liu.
The story behind Xue Sanzheng's North Korea, also known as Xue, began to join the army at the age of 30, and then began his legendary life in the battlefield for 40 years. As a military commander, his biggest attack was to conquer Korea three times.
Map of Xue's three conquest of Korea.
Korea, also known as Koguryo, is located in the east of the Central Plains and lived from 100 BC to 700 AD. South Korea's development process continues to expand its frontier territory, and the political power of the Central Plains is their biggest obstacle. In the Sui Dynasty, South Korea took the lead in waging a twenty-year war with the Sui Dynasty. It is said that the rapid demise of the Sui Dynasty had much to do with North Korea.
During the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, all parties were basically pacified, but North Korea in the East could not be pacified, which made Emperor Taizong very headache. After failing to persuade him to surrender, he decided to send troops to attack North Korea, and then Emperor Taizong personally took part in the Crusade. It was at this time that Xue joined the army and won a general on the battlefield with his own courage, which made the enemy frightened and rescued General Liu Junqiong who was surrounded by the enemy. Later, in the Battle of Lai 'an, Xue just appeared on the battlefield in a white robe, and the enemy was in chaos. Tang Jun stormed the enemy and the enemy was defeated.
Emperor Taizong did not destroy North Korea, and returned to the Central Plains to adopt a policy of constantly harassing North Korea, which made North Korea restless. In Tang Gaozong, in order to fulfill his father's regret, he decided to send troops to the East. Because of Xue's heroic rescue in the mountain flood, he was reused. He first conquered Chifeng Town and then defeated the 30,000-strong army led by Dou Fanglou. In the second year, he won the battles of Hengshan, Shicheng and Montenegro.
In the first year of Ganfeng, there was chaos in Korea. He also sent troops to conquer Goguryeo, and Xue was like Howard the duck, and he won many battles. After four wars: Xincheng, Jinshan, Fuyu and Pyongyang, Koguryo was finally eliminated.
Xue's hometown, Xue, named, is his inscription. He is from Longmenxiu Village, Jiangzhou, Shanxi. A famous strategist in ancient China, a young general with strong martial arts during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, was brave and good at fighting, and rescued Li Shimin from Emperor Taizong many times, so he was entrusted with the important task of Li Shimin as emperor.
Xue's portrait of his hometown
Xue's hometown is Xiucun, Hejin City, Shaanxi Province, China. When he was young, his family was poor. Like most farmers, he farmed to support his family and lived on meager food every day. I can't even afford to live in a house. I live in a kiln with my wife. Later generations called his place "White Tiger Mountain", on the one hand, to commemorate Xue, on the other hand, to praise Xue for being brave and fearless in white on the battlefield, and being a stunning white tiger. He is really a brave white tiger. In the war between the Tang Dynasty and the northern nationalities, he made great achievements and killed countless enemies, which made the enemy frightened. He fought in the northern battlefield, and his wife and children have been waiting for him to return to his hometown in "White Tiger Mountain". It is in his home-the earth kiln. Not far away, there is a place where he practices martial arts all the year round, Red Beach. He often bows to the moon. "White Tiger Mountain", a generation of famous soldiers was born in this place! Later generations called the earthen kiln where Xue lived before his death "cold kiln", which shows the difficulties at that time. But no matter how hard the place where he lives is, in Xue's mind, the "cold kiln" must also be a warm kiln.
Who would have thought that a world-famous general was born in a small village in Shanxi? Xue indirectly named his hometown "White Tiger". Did the white tiger choose him or did he choose the white tiger? White Tiger Mountain is endowed with special significance because of him. His white tiger not only inspires people in his hometown, but also inspires people all over the world!
