Ji Tang

Chapter 81 The Sorrow of the Warrior
Ji Song had also come into contact with some soldiers in his previous life. Although the times were different, their characteristics were still the same. These people's ideas were really different from ordinary people.

You can beat him, scold him, and kill him, but you cannot insult him. You regard your own honor as your highest belief.

Sometimes they can do many things that ordinary people cannot understand for the sake of honor and reputation.

Therefore, Ji Song had already ordered everyone not to spread the word about today's incident, which also took care of this man's face.

Ji Song had some understanding of this man in his previous life, so he sympathized with him.

Xue Wanche was born as a general, and his father was Xue Shixiong, the general of the left imperial guard of the Sui Dynasty. He was the prefect of Zhuojun in the late Sui Dynasty.

In the 13th year of Daye, Xue Shixiong was defeated by the Hebei Rebel Army led by Dou Jiande in the Battle of Hejian. He fell ill and died soon after.

Xue Wanche and his brother Xue Wanjun lived in Youzhou with their father. Both brothers were appreciated by Luo Yi, the governor of Zhuo County, for their outstanding martial arts.The latter two, together with Luo Yi, joined Li Yuan and were awarded the title of General of Chariots and Cavalry, and Duke of Wu'an County.

In November of the first year of Wude, Dou Jiande conquered Jizhou and became famous.In December, Dou Jiande led another 10 troops to attack Youzhou.

When Luo Yi was preparing to attack, Xue Wanjun suggested: "We are outnumbered. If we go out now, we will be defeated in a hundred battles, so we should use a plan to seize them. We can use weak soldiers and weak horses to block the water and form a formation behind the city to lure them. Watching the strength of the thieves, we must cross the water to engage the enemy. Wan Jun invites hundreds of elite cavalry to lie down on the side of the city and wait until they are halfway across to attack them. The thieves will surely be defeated."

Luo Yi adopted this strategy.When the battle began, Dou Jiande led his troops across the water. Xue Wanche and his brother Xue Wanjun led a hundred elite cavalry to attack Dou Jiande and defeated his army.

It can be seen that this man looked a little embarrassed outside today. Ji Song dared to say that he was definitely pretending to look at himself, showing his embarrassment to others and making him let down his guard.

If he hadn't told him that the emperor had pardoned him, this man would have definitely thought of a way to escape. Maybe the reason he saw him today was to hold him hostage so that he could escape from control.

A fierce general who has served as a general and is still invincible on the battlefield has grass growing on his grave long ago without any brains. How can he still exist today?

Then in October of the third year of Wude, Dou Jiande once again led 20 troops to attack Youzhou again.

Dou Jiande's soldiers have boarded the city plate and the situation is extremely critical.At this time, Xue Wanjun and Xue Wanche led hundreds of death squads to sneak out of the tunnel, detour behind Dou's army, and suddenly attacked. Dou's army was defeated and fled. The two beheaded more than 1000 people in total. It was a great victory!

Li Yi once fought against Liu Heitai, and Li Yi's army was defeated. Xue Wanjun and Xue Wanche, two brothers in trouble, were captured in this battle. Liu Heitai "intercepted and drove them away", which meant that they shaved their heads and the two brothers escaped. After returning, Li Yi also led his army back to Youzhou.

This battle was a great humiliation for the two brothers, so it didn't matter crying in front of others. As long as he could save his life, there was nothing he wouldn't dare to do.

Afterwards, I don’t know if they read too much of the Three Kingdoms or something else, but the two brothers parted ways. Xue Wanjun joined the King of Qin, while he became the confidant of Prince Li Jiancheng.

This time Li Shimin was able to graciously let Xue Wanche go, not necessarily because of his brother Xue Wanjun. After all, he was the brother of his general. If he really killed him, who could guarantee that Xue Wanjun didn't have a grudge?

In the second year of Zhenguan, Chai Shao, the general of the right guard, and Xue Wanjun, the young eunuch of the palace, led their troops to attack Liangshidu. Xue Wanche also went with the army as deputy general.

When the Tang army marched dozens of miles away from Shuofang, Turkic reinforcements arrived from all directions, and the Tang army retreated slightly.

At this time, the two brothers attacked the Turkic army and killed its generals. The Turkic army was in chaos. The Tang army took advantage of the momentum to attack, defeated the Turkic army, and took advantage of the victory to surround Shuofang City.

All the generals believed that the city was dangerous and difficult to capture. His brother Xue Wanjun suggested: "If the city is dead and the drums cannot play, it is a sign of destruction." That is to say: if there is an aura of death in the city and the sound of the drums is not loud, this is defeat. What a sign!

On April 26, Liang Shidu's cousin Liang Luoren killed Liang Shidu and the whole city surrendered.The Turks never dared to send troops to rescue.The Tang Dynasty established Xiazhou on its land and prepared a forward base for counterattacking the Turks.Xue Wanche was awarded the title of Governor of Lingzhou due to his meritorious service.

After that, whether he was conquering the Turks, Tuyuhun, Xue Yantuo or Goguryeo, he made great military exploits against the Tang Dynasty.

In the 18th year of Zhenguan, Xue Wanche was appointed as the general of Zuowei. He also married Princess Danyang, the sister of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and was granted the title of Commander-in-Chief Prince Consort.

But an interesting thing happened at this time, "Wan Che was so stupid that the princess was so ashamed that she refused to have sex with him for several months." That is to say, this guy was so stupid that he didn't even know how to have sex, and he didn't have sex with him for several months.

This incident was a great humiliation for Xue Wanchu, and it also paved the way for his future death.In fact, in Ji Song's opinion, this is simply Princess Danyang looking down on Xue Wanche. For a warrior, this can be regarded as a fight to the death.

When Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty heard about this, he laughed heartily, so he set up a banquet, called some of his horses into the palace, and taught Xue Wanche a lesson, which solved the problem.

But this also became Xue Wanche's laughing stock, and he could no longer hold his head up in front of everyone.

Soon, Xue Wanche was promoted to General Youwei, governor of Hangzhou, governor of Daizhou, and General Youwuwei.

Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, once discussed with others: "There are only three famous generals today: Li Ji, Daozong, and Wanche. Li Ji and Daozong cannot win a big victory, nor are they defeated; Wanche is either a big victory or a big defeat."

In other words, this Xue Wanche was either defeated or victorious on the battlefield. It can be seen that although this guy has some brains, he still has most of the attributes of a reckless man.

Afterwards, perhaps he could no longer bear the emperor's connivance towards his wife, Princess Danyang. His wife had an affair with someone else and even gave birth to an evil child. This made him, who was invincible on the battlefield, extremely embarrassed. How could he have the face to meet his ancestors? Lie Zong.

In the third year of Yonghui, Xue Wanche entered the court and had a close relationship with Fang Xuanling's son Fang Yiai. During the conversation, Xue Wanche once again expressed his complaints to the court and said: "Although I have a foot now, I still dare not sit in the capital." move."

Fang Yiai said to him: "If there is a change in the country, I will take charge of the government with King Jing Yuanjing." In order to overthrow the rule of Gaozong Li Zhi.

Soon, the incident was revealed, and Xue Wanche was arrested, but he refused to admit it. Later, Fang Yiai came forward to testify, and Xue Wanche was found guilty.

On the second day of February in the fourth year of Yonghui, Xue Wanche was beheaded. Before leaving, Xue Wanche said loudly: "Xue Wanche is a great athlete. He is strong enough to stay and serve the country. How can he sit in the house and kill him because of his love?"

After that, he untied his collar and shouted to the supervisor: "Behead me urgently!"

The executioner was frightened, his sword was weak, and the first cut was not accurate. Wan Che shouted loudly: "Why not use more force!"

It took three consecutive chops to cut off his head.

Xue Wanche's second brother, Xue Wanshu, also had outstanding military exploits and served successively as the right-leading general, Liangjungong, and Changwudao marching commander.

The fourth brother Xue Wanbei accompanied Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty to conquer Goryeo and rescued Qibi Heli from the tens of thousands of troops. He also followed Ashina Sheer to attack Qiuci. Because Xue Wanche was implicated, he was exiled to Jiaozhou.
