Chapter 116 The king cannot win, and the general cannot defeat Li
In various parallel worlds, discussions about Huo Qubing's achievements remain hot.
After waiting until the inventory video of the third-ranked top ten player in history was released, viewers in various parallel worlds still felt that they were still unsatisfied.
[Hello everyone, welcome to this short video: taking stock of the top ten heroes in history!]
[Producer: Su Qian]
[The characters listed in this issue are: the third among the top ten mighty generals in history, and the number one general in the late Tang Dynasty, Li Cunxiao!]
The background music is still grand and majestic, fully displaying the grandeur and iron blood of the ancient battlefield.
However, when a man less than seven feet tall, skinny as a stick, holding a strange weapon in his left hand and a long spear in his right hand appeared on the screen, everyone was dumbfounded.
"Who is this person???"
"This guy doesn't look like a strong general!"
"Don't judge books by their appearance. Have you forgotten Lu Xiangsheng who is ranked tenth?"
"The problem is, this guy really doesn't look like the most powerful general in the late Tang Dynasty!"
If Shi Jingtang was here, he should be able to recognize this person at a glance as the famous, the strongest among the Thirteen Taibao - Li Cunxiao!
Unfortunately, Shi Jingtang was put under house arrest by his generals not long after being inventoried, and eventually died of grief and anger.
Liu Che was arranging his manners. When he saw the characters in the picture, he couldn't help but wonder: "I've never seen this person before. I guess he is a fierce general in future generations? But his appearance alone has already made me sick."
Zhao Kuangyin frowned and thought, "I seem to have heard this person's name somewhere. But why can't I remember it?"
"Let's see what magic he has!"
[Li Cunxiao, known as the first military general in the late Tang Dynasty, General Feihu, and the head of the Thirteen Taibao.
There is even a saying among the people that "a general is not as good as Li, and a king is not as good as Xiang". Someone who is as famous as Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, naturally cannot be worse.]
"Hey!!! This guy can actually be as famous as the Overlord?"
"I don't believe it! Unless you scald it with boiling water"
"I've only heard of Li Cunxiao in storybooks and operas. Is he really that powerful?"
[Who is Li Cunxiao? When talking about him, we have to talk about his adoptive father, Li Keyong.]
[Li Keyong is a member of the Shatuo tribe. His father, Zhu Xie, was credited with meritorious service in defeating Pang Xun, and was given the name Li Guochang. Li Keyong was the eldest son of Zhu Xie, so his surname was Li and his nickname was Li Ya'er. 】
[Li Keyong formed a cavalry regiment called the "Ya'er Army".
The sergeants of the Crow's Army all have fox tails on their heads, wolf fangs on their necks, and ferocious faces, which visually intimidate their opponents.
Every battle is like a dark cloud rolling over the ground, crows fighting for food, and the momentum is overwhelming.
In the troubled times of the late Tang Dynasty, when armies everywhere saw the shadow of the Ya'er Army, they would shout with trembling voices, "The Ya'er Army is here" and then scatter in all directions.]
[In the "Biography of Yier" in "New Book of Tang", it is recorded that Li Keyong adopted nine adopted sons, "all of whom were heroes and warriors of the time", among whom was Li Cunxiao.
Li Keyong named his thirteen sons (including adopted sons) as Taibao, and the thirteenth Taibao was Li Cunxiao.
But the Thirteen Taibao sometimes refers specifically to the thirteenth adopted son Li Cunxiao.]
[In 883 AD, Chang'an was in emergency. Among King Qin's troops in Chang'an City, there was an army led by Li Keyong from Shatuo.
According to the custom at the time, Li Keyong did not receive military pay when he led his troops to rescue Chang'an City, so the imperial court acquiesced and allowed Li Keyong to "act cheaply."
So Li Keyong came to Jinyang City, intending to bloodbath Jinyang City and benefit the soldiers.
At this time, there was a fierce resistance outside Jinyang City. The leader was a young man with strong martial arts. Although he was defeated and captured, he showed great bravery. This boy was Li Cunxiao.
After Li Cunxiao grew up, he became more and more brave, and he was also very good at riding and shooting. Li Keyong adopted him as his adopted son and gave him a name.
During Li Keyong's campaigns in the south and north, he charged forward in every battle with incomparable bravery. He put down the Huangchao uprising, recaptured Luzhou, and attacked Youzhou. He was invincible in every attack and invincible in every battle.]
[In 889 AD, Li Keyong sent an army to attack Meng Fangli. At that time, the Jin army occupied Zezhou and Luzhou, and Li Kexiu was the envoy of Zhaoyi Festival.
At that time, Meng Fang established Xingzhou, Mingzhou, and Cizhou, also known as Zhaoyi Jiedushi. Zhaoyi Town was divided into two. The Jin army sent troops this time to seize Xingmingzhou, Cizhou, and annex the entire Zhaoyi Town.
.]
[Li Cunxiao captured Mingzhou and Cizhou, and defeated the Xingzhou army at Liulipi. He captured the generals Ma Gai and Yuan Fengtao alive and attacked the city of Xingzhou. Meng Fangli committed suicide in embarrassment.
After his younger brother Meng Qian was promoted to Jieduliu, he asked Zhu Wen for help. Zhu Wen was in the midst of an eastward campaign and had no time to assist Zhaoyi Town. He ordered Wang Qianyu to lead hundreds of elite troops to assist in the defense of Xingzhou.
[In 890 AD, Li Keyong ordered Li Cunxiao to attack Xingzhou urgently. Meng Qian had no choice but to tie up Wang Qianyu and ask for surrender. The entire Zhaoyi Town was occupied by the Jin army.
Soon, a mutiny broke out in Luzhou and it surrendered to the imperial court. The imperial court appointed Jingzhao Yin Sun Kui as the military envoy of Zhaoyi. Zhu Wen ordered Ge Congzhou and Zhu Chongjie to enter and occupy Luzhou. He also ordered Li Fan to attack Zezhou and sent 3,000 soldiers at the same time.
Escort Sun Kui to his appointment.]
[In the battle to regain Luzhou, Li Cunxiao made the greatest contribution.
However, Li Keyong appointed Kang Junli as Zhaoyi's successor, and only made Li Cunxiao the governor of Fenzhou. Li Cunxiao was so angry and dissatisfied that he did not think about food or food for several days.]
"Ha! How can you convince the public when rewards and punishments are unclear?"
"I'm afraid this Li Cunxiao will not end well!"
"Li Cunxiao was torn apart by a car and died. Li Keyong was actually one of the accomplices!"
"."
Amid the discussions among the people, the video continued to play,
[At that time, the imperial court used Zhang Jun as the envoy to conquer Hedong. Li Ke ordered Li Cunxin and Xue Atan to lead the army to resist Zhang Jun, and also ordered Li Cunxiao to garrison Zhaocheng.
Soon, Zhang Jun was defeated by the Jin army at Yindi Pass and retreated to Jinzhou. Li Cunxiao led his troops to attack Jinzhou. Zhang Jun sent his army to fight, but was defeated by Li Cunxiao again. From then on, he defended the city and did not dare to fight again.
Li Cunxiao considered that it was inappropriate to capture the imperial prime minister, so he broke the siege and retreated fifty miles, allowing Zhang Jun to escape. Later, Li Cunxiao was appointed governor of Pizhou.]
[In 891, An Zhijian, the governor of Xingzhou, secretly dated Zhu Wen. Li Keyong submitted a seal to ask Li Cunxiao to replace him. When An Zhijian learned about it, he was very frightened and fled to Qingzhou. The imperial court appointed An Zhijian.
He commanded the army for Shenwu and served as a post in Xingzhou.】
[An Zhijian led his three thousand men to Chang'an and passed through Yunzhou. Zhu Xuan and Li Keyong of Yunzhou were in harmony, so they set up an ambush on the Yellow River, killed An Zhijian, and captured An Zhijian.
His head was sent to Li Keyong in Jinyang.
At this time, the Jin army invaded Changshan controlled by the "King of Zhao" Wang Rong for several years. Li Cunxiao served as the permanent vanguard and captured Lincheng and Yuanshi. Wang Rong asked Li Kuangwei of Youzhou for help. Li Kuangwei's troops arrived and the Jin army withdrew.
】
[In 892, Wang Rong and Li Kuangwei combined more than 100,000 troops to attack Yaoshan. Li Keyong appointed Li Cunxin as the commander of Fan, Han and Mabudu, and cooperated with Li Cunxiao to attack Wang. However, Li Cunxiao and Li Cunxin were mutually exclusive.
Suspicious and jealous, they linger and watch each other without moving forward.]
[Li Keyong had no choice but to re-send Li Sixun, who defeated the armies of Youzhou and Zhenzhou, killing and capturing 30,000 people. After Li Cunxin returned to Li Keyong, he began to slander: "Cunxin has two filial piety
Heart, always avoid Zhao and never attack."]
[Li Cunxiao is the most capable of fighting among the "Thirteen Taibao" under Li Ke, but he is not the most outstanding. For example, there is also Li Cunxin who is also good at both civil and military affairs.
Li Cunxiao and Li Cunxin have never dealt with each other. Their military achievements are almost the same, but the problem is that Li Cunxin is more resourceful than Li Cunxiao.】
"Look at what this means. Li Cunxiao is brave and courageous, but lacks a certain amount of resourcefulness. Such a strong general will generally not end well."
"Yes! When Li Cunxiao died, it was so spectacular. Five horses couldn't separate him when he was cut into pieces. The only one who could kill him was himself."
"So rather than a strong general, I still want to be a wise general who is good at commanding troops and resourceful!"
"Wake up! The oracle is still live broadcast, but this is not the time for you to dream!"
