Chapter 105 White-clad Divine General Xue Rengui
Guan Yu's deeds are not as exciting as in the novel, but this does not prevent later generations of people and even emperors from loving and admiring him.
What they value more is the spirit of Brother Guan - "loyalty, righteousness, benevolence, courage, courtesy, wisdom and trust". He is undoubtedly the master of the Chinese spirit!
It would be better if he could get rid of his arrogant temper.
The inventory video of Guan Yu, who ranked seventh, finished playing, and immediately after, the sixth place appeared!
[Hello everyone, welcome to this short video: taking stock of the top ten heroes in history!]
[Producer: Su Qian]
[No. 6 among the top ten fierce generals in history: Xue Rengui, the white-robed general!]
The title disappeared, and the song "Qi Lu. Xue Rengui" appeared in the screen.
[At the age of 30, the army left the Jin Kiln and left the Goryeo army in white robes.]
[The soldiers wearing pommel horses and wearing armour, and wearing a long bloody knife hanging from the waist.]
[If you want to wear a man's seal to be sealed as a general, the moon and stars outside the Willow Gate will attract you.]
【Three arrows from the Tianshan Mountains are sure to greet you, march from the west to the east and become a national hero.】
Qin Shihuang looked at this seven-rhythm poem and murmured: "Going to Goryeo?! Is it Yang Guang or Li Shimin's subordinates?"
In his impression, Su Qian seemed to have only mentioned the deeds of Yang Guang and Li Shimin in conquering Goryeo, and neither of them had yet captured the other side.
Regarding Xue Rengui’s identity, the video quickly gave the answer,
[Xue Rengui, Ming Li, courtesy name Rengui.
A native of Xiucun, Longmen County, Jiangzhou, Hedong Road, he was a famous general in the early Tang Dynasty and the sixth grandson of Xue Andu, King of Hedong in the Northern Wei Dynasty.]
"Aha! He turned out to be a famous general of my era?" Li Shimin couldn't help but cheer when he saw this, but soon he wondered: "But I don't seem to have heard of this character before!"
Yang Guang curled his lips in displeasure and said, "Damn! Why is it that he is a talent under that guy Li Er again? No, I have to dig him over!!"
And the people started talking happily,
"Xue Rengui of Three Arrows Dingtian Mountain! Sure enough, he is there!!"
"White-clothed divine general! My idol!!"
"Why is there no Qin Shubao on the list? I don't accept it!!!"
"."
[Xue Rengui is a descendant of Xue Andu, a famous general in the Northern Wei Dynasty. His great-grandfather, grandfather, and father were all officials in the court. However, in the generation of his father Xue Gui, because his father died too early, the family began to decline.
.]
[Xue Rengui has been living the life of a poor person at the bottom for a long time. Fortunately, his wife, Mrs. Liu, has always been loyal to him and encouraged him.
It was not until Xue Rengui was thirty years old that Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty was preparing to personally conquer Liaodong.
After hearing the news, his wife Liu felt that this was a rare opportunity for her husband Xue Rengui, so she encouraged her husband Xue Rengui to sign up to join the army.]
[And this year, it was the 19th year of Zhenguan, when Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty personally campaigned and sent troops to attack Goguryeo! 】
[In a battle when Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty personally conquered Liaodong, General Liu Junqiong was ambushed by the Goguryeo army and fell into a heavy siege.
At the critical moment, it was Xue Rengui who rushed into the enemy's camp single-handedly, killed the enemy generals, and caused chaos for the enemy. This allowed Liu Junqiong to successfully escape.
And this battle was also the beginning of Xue Rengui’s legendary achievements in his life!]
"Okay!" Li Shimin applauded, and then said: "Zhenguan was thirty years old in the nineteenth year. This means that he is now a teenager and can be found out and polished in advance!"
"He's still a little kid. But since he has the qualifications to be a famous general, I'm still willing to train him." Yang Guang chuckled, looking a little wretched.
Being able to steal another capable general from Li Er, Yang Guang felt his heart was sweeter than drinking honey.
[After this battle to save Liu Junqiong single-handedly, Xue Rengui's reputation gradually spread among the Tang army. After becoming famous, he also received more reuse. ]
[As the war continued to advance, the vanguard of the Tang army had already reached the territory of Goguryeo and reached the gates of Anshi City.
Ansi City was the most important city in Goguryeo at that time, and its strategic significance was very important.
Facing the arrival of the Tang army, Goguryeo generals Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen led a total of 250,000 horses to stop the Tang army.
The Battle of Anshi City, which is also very famous throughout history, begins!】
"An army of 250,000. The strength of Goguryeo cannot be underestimated!" Li Shimin once again began to pay attention to Goguryeo.
"Although the strength of the Goguryeo army is not as good as that of the Tang Dynasty, they have the right location and good people. It is not easy for our army to win." Li Jing, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, frowned slightly at this moment, thoughtfully.
Li Ji, another commander-in-chief of the Tang Dynasty who was very good at leading troops, also attached great importance to this battle. "It seems that if you want to win Goguryeo, you need to formulate a complete strategy."
"Hey? Who is this Xue Rengui? None of us are on the list, why should he be on the list?!" Cheng Yaojin yelled, he was a little unconvinced.
Although he can't be ranked, at least Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong have a chance!
But now these two people are not married, but Xue Rengui, whom they don't know, is married. Naturally, these arrogant soldiers in the early Tang Dynasty were very unhappy.
However, Su Qian has already released two major videos and has established his prestige in the hearts of everyone, so although some people are confused, at least they have not yet questioned Su Qian.
[At that time, the Tang army and Goguryeo's 250,000-strong army faced off at Mount Zhongzhi.
Li Shimin ordered the generals to attack separately. He saw a knight in white, holding a halberd and spear, and two bows at his waist. He took the lead and rushed towards the enemy's formation. He was invincible and almost single-handedly disrupted the enemy's formation. The Tang army covered them up and beheaded countless people.]
[After this battle, Li Shimin summoned this knight who was like a divine soldier descending from heaven. At that time, Xue Rengui was just an ordinary soldier.
After Li Shimin met Xue Rengui, he immediately sighed: "I am an old general who is old and sick, and cannot bear the support of others. Whenever I want to promote a hero, it is better to have someone like you. I don't like Liaodong, but I like you."]
[The Tang Dynasty conquered Goguryeo this time. Although they achieved a great victory on the battlefield, due to climate reasons, the Tang army had to temporarily retreat to the country after winter entered.
After returning to Chang'an, Li Shimin thought of Xue Rengui's heroic performance on the battlefield, and directly promoted Xue Rengui to the right-leading army, Zhonglang General, responsible for guarding the imperial city.
After the conquest of Goguryeo, Li Shimin was getting older and his health was getting worse, and he could no longer lead his own troops to fight.
So in the next few years, until Li Shimin's death, the Tang Dynasty did not launch any major wars.
A few years later, Li Shimin died and Prince Li Zhi ascended the throne.]
[In the era of Emperor Gaozong and Li Zhi of the Tang Dynasty, Xue Rengui was still highly used.
Moreover, as many of the founding military generals gradually aged, Xue Rengui's status in the military became higher and higher.
Li Zhi had great trust in him. Every time he traveled, Xue Rengui would lead his troops to escort him.】
"Ah, this guy is so lucky!" Some people who claim to be brave but always have unappreciated talents said sourly.
"Yes, where are my Taizong and Gaozong?"
[In this way, after working as a bodyguard for Li Shimin and Li Zhi for several years, Xue Rengui finally got the opportunity to go to the battlefield again. 】
[This time, the enemy of the Tang Dynasty was still Goguryeo.
It's just that this war took place ten years after Li Shimin conquered Goguryeo.
And the bigger difference is that in the last war, Xue Rengui was just a small soldier; but this time, Xue Rengui has been promoted to deputy general of the Tang Army, and can already directly participate in the command of the war!]
