Xue Gang (? —772) The historical prototype is Xue Song, the grandson of Xue. Xue Song, the grandson of right and right general Xue, the son of Fan Yang, the envoy of Xue Chuyu, was a general in the middle Tang Dynasty. When I was young, I was famous for riding and shooting with my arms. When the Anshi Rebellion, I voted for the Anshi Rebellion. Tired of war and exploits, he was appointed as our special envoy to Ye Jun County. Shi Chaoyi was defeated, and Xue Song surrendered to the Tang Dynasty in Hunan, Wei, Ming and Xing, and was appointed as the special envoy.

Xue Song has made great contributions to post-disaster reconstruction. Zhao Yi Town soon came back to life. Xue Song is good at cuju, but he was persuaded by the hermit, so he stopped and made a cuju picture on the right side of the seat to remind himself from time to time.

Xue Gang, the son of Xue Dingshan, the king of Liao, inherited his father's superb martial arts at an early age. He is brave and good at fighting, likes to fight against injustice and is very troublesome. On a Lantern Festival, Xue Gang killed the second prince, Li Qi, which made Li Zhi, Tang Gaozong, die of panic and caused a great disaster. Xue Gang, who committed this disaster, immediately fled to other places. When Li Zhi died, the whole dynasty was in chaos, according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty at that time.

Xue Gang himself broke the law and should be implicated in Jiuzu. However, before he died, Li Zhi told everyone about the heroes of the Xue family and was loyal to the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, if you want to investigate this matter, it is best to investigate Xue Gang alone. However, this kind of treatment has been opposed by those who want to eliminate the influence of Xue family. They told the story to Wu Zetian and asked Jiuzu to punish the Xue family. At this time, Wu Zetian was in charge of almost the whole court.

The desire to be emperor is expanding, which is exactly what Wu Zetian wants. She had long wanted to get rid of the founding hero and his descendants, so Wu Zetian drove away the king of Luling, killed 285 people in Xue Dingshan, and captured the fugitive Xue Gang alive. Xue Gang, who fled to Xiliang, learned from a friend's letter that his family was beheaded with a doorknob for their own reasons and felt extremely resentful, so he held a grudge against the Tang royal family.

It is believed that the dispatch of troops is against the Tang Dynasty. Xue Gang was introduced to Zong by his good friend Madden. He was forgiven by Zhongzong, and was named the commander-in-chief of the Tang Dynasty and Wu Wangying who was loyal, filial and righteous. Xue Gang also went to Xiliang to borrow soldiers, but was attracted by Princess Xiliang. Married Princess Xiliang, she won Xiliang's support and helped Wu Zetian, who was then the king of Luling, to crusade against the usurper. This is also the source of "Xue Gang's anti-Tang".

During this period, Xue Gang was in command for three times, sent troops north to conquer Chang 'an, and finally beheaded Zhang Wu and his party in front of their parents' graves, so he could finally avenge his family.
