Chapter 5 Jon and Lei (1)
Dayan sat in the big tent, drinking the strong barley wine and biting the beef that had not been roasted.
Wang Hua was very disrespectful to Fanzi's dietary habits, but this kind of eating half-cooked meat and the habit of mainly meat eating will indeed make people stronger. Although Wang Hua didn't want to admit it, Fanzi's physical fitness was generally better than the people of the Tang Dynasty who were mainly food.
Sitting opposite him was Wangfu, the dog-headed military advisor of Di Dayan. He was talking about one thing, which is the popular ranking of famous generals.
There is no order from history, but since the founding of the Tang Dynasty.
It is divided into three parts in total. The first part is the Li Shimin era, which is called the mythical era in the genealogy. It is indeed reasonable. In that era, there were many stars, and some generals were out of reach. And the ranking was fair.
The first is Li Jing, the god of war in the Tang Dynasty. No one dares to question him. Whether it was founded or later, fighting against raiders, fighting was like fighting. In history, Wei Qing was slightly inferior. Huo Qubing could compare, but he didn't live long. Or there was one person, Han Xin. Others, such as the god of killing Bai Qi and the demon Chen Qingzhi, were also elusive, but some Li Jingniu fought from China to abroad, with a large scale and easy win, and he also won many times with less. It was not on the first level.
The second place is unexpected, Li Shimin. Many people mention Li Shimin, think of him as the emperor, but forget what happened before he became the emperor. Or when Wang Hua is mentioned, he thinks it is very awesome, but compared with Li Shimin, he is not at all. Just when Li Shimin was sixteen years old, Emperor Yang of Sui was trapped in Yanmen by 100,000 Turkic soldiers. Li Shimin only brought a few thousand troops to garrison, bluffing and plundering the Turkic people. At that time, the two seemed to be old, but Li Shimin dealt with more powerful than the Turkic soldiers Wang Hua dealt with in a few times. This was just the beginning. In the six most important battles of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin commanded four and won completely. The first attack on Xue Ju, the second attack on Liu Wuzhou, and the third attack on Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande. This was also the biggest and most critical battle. The fourth was to pacify the great Liu Heita.
However, the second place was because of the Eastern Expedition to Goryeo. Mr. Teacher was useless, but he did not end up as miserable as Emperor Yang of Sui.
The third place is undoubtedly Li Ji, who has basically never failed. He has too stable troops and has followed Li Shimin in the east, and has no help. So he fell behind Li Jing and Li Shimin. But looking at the other generals in the early Tang Dynasty, there is still no one who can rank above Li Ji.
The fourth place is unexpected, but it is Liu Heita. This man was Dou Jiande's subordinate, and then he was much stronger than Dou Jiande. Later, he opposed the Tang Dynasty and defeated the famous general Li Shentong and Luo Yi coalition forces, defeated Li Ji, captured the famous general Xue Wanjun brothers, and beheaded Luo Shixin, who was as famous as Cheng Yaojin, who was still above Cheng, that is, Luo Cheng in the Romance of the Romance, and then killed the famous general Li Daoxuan, and forced Li Yuan, the chief manager of Mingzhou, to abandon the city and go west. If it were not for his weak power, he would not know who would win and who would lose in the battle with Li Shimin.
The fifth one is also not a character in the Romance of the Romance. Li Xiaogong, known as the "marshal of the marching", defeated Xiao Xian, surrendered Lingnan, suppressed Fu Gongyu, defeated Guangling, Danyang, and pacified Jiangnan. Although most of them were Li Jing's achievements, the battle was easy and did not fight bloody battles every time like Li Shimin. There was a little bit of a good fight without great military achievements.
The sixth place is Li Daozong. Whether it was founding the country or defending the border, he had great military achievements, but unfortunately the light was hidden by Li Jing.
The seventh place was another accident. Although Hou Junji participated in the case of the prince's rebellion, his martial arts could not be denied. The eighth place was Xue Yantuo. Then he went to Yuchi Jingde, Asanosmo, Liu Hongji, Asanosheer and others. Qin Qiong could only rank twenty, and Cheng Yaojin was almost at the last place fifty. His defeat in his later years was too miserable.
This also shows how reliable this will be.
Then there are other generals, and the reasons for the ranking are explained.
Next comes the early era of Emperor Gaozong and Wu Zetian, which will be described as the Age of Starlight.
However, the first place was unexpected. It was not Xue Rengui, not Liu Rengui, nor Su Dingfang, but Tubo generals and nobles Lun Qinling. Not only did they personally capture the four towns of Anxi, but they also defeated Xue Rengui and Guo Daifeng in the first battle with the Tang Dynasty. Although Xue Rengui was a little unfair, they always lost. In the second battle, they defeated Li Jingxuan and captured generals Wang Xiaojie and Liu Shenli. Later, during the civil strife in Tubo, Emperor Gaozong of Tang originally wanted the famous general Pei Xingjian to take the opportunity to counterattack Qinghai, but General Pei insisted that Qinling was in power and ministers were in harmony, so Emperor Gaozong of Tang had to take back Cheng's life. In fact, General Pei felt unsure. When he fought for the four towns of Anxi in the third war, Qinling and his younger brother Lunzanpo fought again in Taozhou, and defeated the Tang soldiers and fled in panic.
The true undefeated war god almost made Tubo strong with one hand.
Hearing this, Di Dayan smiled on his face. No matter how Tubo thought of the Lu brothers later, it was always the glory of the Tubo people.
The second place is Xue Rengui. If it weren't for the defeat of Dafeichuan, even if it were Qinling, it might not be as famous as General Xue. However, when it comes to his martial arts, looking at history, it is possible that he could rank first in terms of personal martial arts. Even if Xiang Yu cannot say one-on-one-on-ten, it is estimated that the three Xiang Yus and Xue Rengui may not be able to win.
The third place is unexpected. It is not Su Dingfang or Liu Rengui, but Liu Rengui's apprentice, Li Jing's half-apprentice, Pei Xingjian, why? Look at the battles they fought, they are simply elusive. Some battles end before they even started. Just like a master in martial arts novels, they don't need to wield swords, killing the opponent with sword energy. He is not as simple as killing a master. He kills thousands of people in one kill. Originally, Su Dingfang was implicated when he followed Cheng Yaojin in the west, so Su Dingfang fell again and again and fell to the sixth place. But in fact, it is impossible to pk. If pk, with military talent, Lao Su Zhen may not be the opponent of his disciple Lao Pei. This person is too evil.
The fourth is Black Tooth Changzhi, and no one dares to question his achievements.
The fifth place is Liu Rengui, who is behind Hei Ya Changzhi, because he is famous for fighting Goryeo and mainly naval battles. There is no strong proof on land.
The sixth place is Su Dingfang. It can be said that one of the Astrological Ages was only behind Xue Rengui, but because of Lao Cheng's involvement, it is seen how harsh this general ranking is.
The seventh place is Cheng Wuting and Wang Fangyi. Secondly, Gao Kan, Pang Tongshan and others.
Then in Wu Zetian's later years and in recent years, it will be said that it was the era of mortals. There are few heroes that can be shown.
But the first one was unexpected, but the Turkic Khan Mo Chuan was almost invincible. If it weren't for the setbacks brought by Wang Hua's Blood Character Camp, it would be reliable to rank first. That's it, the Blood Camp only gave him some losses and did not defeat him.
The second is Dae Jo-young.
The third is Tang Xiujing. Even the Lu brothers were a little scared, and Old Tang was ranked third, so there was no doubt.
The fourth is a Tubo native. Although Lu Zanpo is not as good as his brother, he is also a fierce man.
The fifth is Wang Hua. Needless to mention the achievements of the Blood-Character Camp, during this period, he almost won the Eight Prefectures without any blood. Moreover, his own force was almost as close to his awesome master.
But the general introduction also said that Wang Hua did not have any shortcomings. He liked to fight tough battles, but the losses were severe. Unlike Li Jing, he only brought three thousand people to the middle of hundreds of thousands of Turks, pointing to the east and west, and was invincible. If Li Jing played like Wang Hua, he might not even be able to come back. Moreover, Wang Hua had never fought a super large battle, at most it was the battle at Yangcao Ridge, but that battle could not be considered very large. Although he ran to Mochu and forced Mochu away, it was nothing. Li Shimin had played it long ago, and he faced more Turks, hundreds of thousands of people. He asked him to take away the two Khans and hundreds of thousands of soldiers away in a few words. He was even more awesome than Wang Hua.
Therefore, this location may not be very reliable.
The sixth is Di Dayan.
Hearing this, Di Dayan was shocked all over. What a face!
It is also well-founded, because the reason why Di Dayan was able to station Jishishan and rule over a vast and important area was because he fought against Tianzhu in the south, the Qiang people in the east, and the Tuyuhun people in some battles. However, he basically maintained a record of victory. Although he stabbed Wang Hua, he was not sure of it. He was not prepared for the fact that he lost the most, and it was reasonable to lose. But the battle and scale he experienced were far above Wang Hua. If it weren't for this mistake, he might have been ranked above Wang Hua.
It was so exciting to hear that Da Yan. Who wrote this famous general's score? The accuracy of this ranking is impeccable.
The seventh place was Guo Yuanzhen, who was originally ranked second, but Niu Shizhao lost. Facing Soge, he was just a Tuqi Shi Xin Khan who needed to be proved, so he didn't dare to send troops, so he lost two places at once. The eighth place was Xue Na, which was actually very low, but Xue Na has not defeated Tubo yet. In other words, General Xue did not exert his mighty spirit, and only Wang Hua knew it, so it was reasonable to fall in the eighth place.
The ninth position is Zhang Renyuan. He is very powerful in the war, but he fights less. It is also reasonable.
The tenth place is Uzhile who just died. Without him, there would be no Tuqishi. The tenth place is because he died, otherwise he would have lost a game under Wang Hua and the ranking is still high.
The eleventh one is Xiao Song, which is also wrong. If we only talk about military talents, Xiao Song grew up above Lao Guo. But hasn't he grown up yet? It can be counted.
There were a few people on the list of the Blood Character Camp, Zhang Xiaosong, who passed through the polar regions. But after Wang Shi, because the Liaodong Road was commanded by Wang Shi. But there was another person above them, Khitan General Li Kaigu, if it were not for being surrendered by Di Renjie, no one in the Tang Dynasty would have been his opponent. But because of his decline, the ranking was also dropped. At the same time, Zhang Shougui, Zhang Xiaosong, and Guo Zhiyun were on the list of the Blood Character Camp, but others were behind the list. Even Kong Heizi did not rank in the top 50, mainly because he was illiterate and brave but not resourceful. This is also a very reasonable ranking.
"His grandmother's," Dayan cursed with a smile.
Needless to say, this came from the Central Plains again. Influenced by Wang's paintings, novels, that is, long stories appeared in many places in the Tang Dynasty. Because the slang is very heavy, real literati still despise it very much. There was no time to conceive it. Therefore, the flavor of the Romance is very strong.
But he could rank in the top ten and ranked sixth. It would be fine if he came from the Tubo people. Not to mention, if Tubo is now in terms of military talent, there is really no one as much as him. But it was a bit surprised by the Tang people. You should know that there were only fifty people on the top two lists, but there were one hundred people on the mortal list behind. It would be better to say that the last fifty people were all brightly lit. However, he could snatch into the top ten, and it was a foreigner. If it were others, he would be somewhat complacent.
But it was fine if Wang Hua was overwhelming, but he happened to ride on his head, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
After Wang Fu finished speaking the list he heard, he talked about the important matters. No matter how accurate the title of this famous general was compiled by a boring literati of the Tang Dynasty, no matter how accurate it is, it is just an entertainment. It is still important to be a serious matter.
Wang Hua suddenly appeared in Bazhou, and Wei felt like a thorn was pierced in his heart, but Tubo was also uncomfortable. Especially Jishi Mountain, which is very close to Shannan. Anything that is turbulent can get news in advance than Chang'an.
Of course, Wang Hua turned against the Tang Dynasty and was about to kill each other with the Tang Dynasty. Tubo would definitely be very happy. No matter how noble a Tubo could look at Wang Hua, although his military talent was as famous as his literary talent, it was not easy to deal with the Tang Dynasty with one person. Why did Qinling only seize Qinghai and other places when he was so powerful, and he did not dare to go deeper. It was not easy to fight. Although it was brave, how big the Tang Dynasty was and how many soldiers there were, they could kill Tubo alive. Moreover, at that time, Wang Fangyi, Heichi Changzhi, Pei Xingjian, Xue Rengui, Lao Tang and others were all alive, and Tubo did not dare to do too much.
After decades of new entry, several famous generals of the Tang Dynasty killed many Lao Wu, but a group of great people also produced a group of people, such as Xue Ne, Lao Guo, Wang Hua, and Tubo’s own affairs, so they settled down.
Just like what the general said, although Wang Hua is not weak, he still has fewer troops and horses in his hands. The general Tang Dynasty also has famous generals similar to him, so he will lose in the end. However, if the Tang Dynasty wants to defeat Wang Hua, it will inevitably be greatly damaged.
This is a good thing for Tubo.
It was a good thing, but now Wang Hua suddenly submitted a memorial saying that we were still ministers of the Tang Dynasty, but for Princess Jincheng to avenge her gun, she was transferred to Tubo. Needless to say, the Tang Dynasty court naturally hoped that this anti-minister would fight against Tubo, so that they could enjoy the benefits of a fisherman.
This actually gave Tubo a headache.
During this period, Tubo mobilized tens of thousands of troops to Jishi Mountain to prevent accidents.
But Wang Hua exposes the paper tiger of Tubo in this way. Tubo is now weak and dares not fight. Otherwise, in the Lunqinling era, Wang Hua dares to make wild words and his troops may not necessarily enter Lingzhou, but at least he and Shanzhou, or even to Lanzhou.
The Tang Dynasty sent envoys to question Tubo, and the Tubo also sent envoys to explain to the Tang Dynasty. We are very kind to the princess of your country and have started to build a city. But whether it can be built is two different things. Let's do it first. I want to convince the Tang Dynasty to attack Wang Hua with the Tang Dynasty. I believe Li Xian may not agree, but the queen will definitely agree to remove the thorn in the flesh. In order to ensure the completion of this mission, Tubo also took out a lot of money and bribed Zong Chuke.
There are also large-scale imports of grain from the Tang Dynasty. Once they fight, Wang Hua will inevitably block this transaction path. If grain is smuggled from Yizhou and other places, because the mountain roads are steep, the transaction costs will inevitably increase.
But some people think that Wang Hua was bluffing and scaring Tubo, and what he did was an excuse. Without this excuse, how could he gain a foothold in the Eight Prefectures? Once he gained his foothold, he would inevitably use troops against the Tang Dynasty. This was clearly a rebellion, so he persuaded other noble officials of Tubo to sit and watch.
It is indeed a man's name, a tree's shadow. Before Wang Hua could do anything, he panicked the Tubo group.
What Wang Fu said is related to this.
He asked, "General, do you know where I, a famous general, heard from?"
Dadiyan shook his head.
"I heard it from a person's mouth, and this person will bring us good news."
"Which one?"
Wang Fu did not answer, and he asked again: "General, do you know who is Wang Hua's biggest enemy?"
Originally, because he was next to the Tang Dynasty's border, his responsibility was to guard Jishishan and Dafeichuan. Of course, now, if the situation is good, it would not be a guard, but instead attack the Tang Dynasty. Sometimes people were sent to the area under the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty to fight for tooth sacrifices, but after the Bloody Camp arrived in Shannan, he suffered several losses and was a little more stable.
So Di Dayan was very familiar with the news of the Tang Dynasty. He even had some knowledge of the movements in the Tang Dynasty. However, it would take some time tonight when the news came to him. Wang Hua was also the key target. Later, he suffered a loss at Wang Hua's hands, and Di Dayan paid more attention to Wang Hua's news.
Wang Hua spent his whole life making enemies. Originally, ten families of seven surnames were slightly relieved. But he was once again enemies with the Wei family. At the same time, it seemed that he was very disagreeing with the King of Xiang and Princess Taiping. The ambitious queen of the Tang Dynasty also became a life-and-death enemy with Wang Hua this time. There were also ministers such as Zong Chuke. There were many enemies, so it is hard to say who the biggest enemy was.
He did not answer, and Wang Fu did not dare to take it. His master was not of a good temper. He continued, "It was the Wei family. Although the queen of the Tang Dynasty was dissatisfied with Wang Hua, Wang Hua suffered her losses. However, the Wei family suffered a lot of losses from Wang Hua, and even the dock in the south was burned. There were countless losses in between."
"You said the Wei family sent someone again?" The Wei family had already sent someone to kill Wang Hua last time, but the benefits were made by Di Dayan alone, and Di Dayan did not disclose it.
“That’s right, and this time they bring more benefits.”
"Let him come in," said Di Dayan in surprise. Not only does it bring benefits, Di Dayan can't see clearly about Wang Hua's actions. Wei's current power is now in power and can learn some inside information from the people they sent. Of course, it may not be entirely believed. Di Dayan's ability can analyze many useful things.
Just as Wangfu was about to go out, Dayan pulled Wangfu back: "What are the benefits?"
Fanzi is impatient and does not act pretentiously. The benefits he brings will be as much as he receives.
"Ten thousand taels of gold, 100,000 clusters of arrows, 10,000 horizontal knives, 1,000 bows and arrows, and 10,000 stones of food. If the general needs it, he can continue to give the general 50,000 stones of food."
"Si!" Di Dayan took a breath after hearing this. It was because the Tang Dynasty was rich, and with such a big deal, a family took it out.v
