The six-dimensional pictures of emperors of all dynasties were exposed, and the ancestors panicked

Chapter 282: A Different Battle at Xiangji Temple

On the canopy.

Inside Luoyang City.

Teams of Hu cavalry galloped at full speed, rejoicing.

The long knife slashed across the astonished head.

The naked woman lay dead in the street.

Gold, silver, jewelry, silks and satins were hung on the horses' backs.

The blood flowed slowly and gathered into a stream.

As they spoke, the long street flowed out of the city gate and to the feet of the Tang army, who were wearing heavy armor and had their heads bowed.

The scene changes.

Chang'an Taiji Hall

Li Heng, dressed in casual clothes, looked at His Highness's Hu people with a smile on his face.

The civil and military officials on both sides looked normal.

The eunuch's sharp and piercing voice echoed in the hall.

"Appoint Huihe Yehu as Sikong and Zhongyi Wang."

"We will form a brotherly alliance and pay you 20,000 pieces of silk every year!"

……

The period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty
"boom!"

With a gloomy face, Liu Che slammed the table and stood up.

Year of the year...

Well said!

This is offering sacrifice to others!
……

Datang.

Another thunder exploded on the heads of everyone in the hall!

Why were the Uighurs in Luoyang?
Why did the soldiers remain indifferent as they watched Luoyang being massacred?
And Suifeng... What is Suifeng? !
Your mother, explain it to me!

What does your mother’s annual tribute mean?
Pay tribute to the Uighurs every year? !
Is this the Tang Dynasty?
Li Shimin rubbed his forehead, feeling a splitting headache.

I forced myself to stay awake and look at the sky.

I want to see what is going on!

……

Song Zhenzong period
Zhao Heng took a sip of the wine and smacked his lips.

"Annual tribute has existed since ancient times."

……

Ming dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the sky and said calmly:
"The nightmare haunting the Tang Dynasty has arrived."

……

[On November 757, AD, Li Chu, Prince of Guangping, recaptured Luoyang.]

[The Huihe people plundered Luoyang for three days.]

[On the 21st, Yehu, the son of the Uighur Khan, was named the King of Loyalty and Righteousness and was required to give the Uighurs 20,000 pieces of silk every year.]

[The reason why the Huihe people were able to ride on the shoulders of the Tang Dynasty was because they made great contributions in suppressing the An-Shi Rebellion. ]

[Or in other words, he made great contributions in recovering the two capitals.]

[And the source of this great achievement was the Battle of Xiangji Temple. ]

……

On the canopy.

On the endless plain

There were more than 100,000 soldiers on each side.

They were all lined up in a row, stretching for dozens of miles, with a huge momentum.

Spears point to the sky and swords stand upright.

Suddenly, a thunderous drumbeat resounded through the heaven and earth.

Shouts suddenly rang out!
The warhorse gradually accelerated, and the long sword was drawn out and tied to his hand.

Bows and arrows from both sides swept in like an overwhelming force!

……

[After Tang Suzong ascended the throne, he focused all his energy on the goal of recovering the two capitals. ]

[In February and April 757 AD, the Tang army attempted to attack Chang'an, which was occupied by the Yan army, but was repelled by the rebels and suffered heavy losses.]

[At this time, Guo Ziyi believed that the Tang Dynasty no longer had a strong army due to the long period of peace, the military preparations had been in disrepair, and the elite troops had been lost in Lingbao and Tongguan. ]

[If we only hastily gather a group of ragtag people to resist the rebels, we will only be defeated again and again and lose land. ]

[If you want to recapture the two capitals, it is not enough to have a general, you must have an elite army. ]

[So he suggested to Li Heng that he borrow troops from the powerful Huihe at that time, and Li Heng agreed.]

[He then ordered Li Chengcai, the Prince of Dunhuang, and Pugu Huai'en, a general of the Shuofang Army, to go to the Huihe to seek help.]

[Soon after, Huihe Khan Huairen sent his son Yehu and General Di De and others to lead 4,000 elite troops to Fengxiang to negotiate with Li Heng about borrowing troops.]

[Eager to win, Li Heng promised the Huihe envoy a huge reward: "On the day you conquer the city, the land and commoners will belong to the Tang, and the gold, silk, and women will all belong to the Huihe."]

[The Huihe people saw that they could gain such a great benefit, so they agreed to borrow troops.]

……

The period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty
Huo Qubing pointed at the sky excitedly for a long time, but he couldn't utter a single word!
Liu Che nodded.

"I understand what you mean. Why do you have to keep picking on Chang'an?"

"Because he ascended the throne on his own."

"He wants a legitimate reason..."

"Humph……"

Liu Che raised his sleeves and looked at him with disdain.

"Short-sighted."

……

Datang.

Keyword trigger!
Li Shimin looked at the four words "Lingbao Tongguan" with red eyes, and then saw Xu Li's conditions.

My head buzzed!
"Li Longji!"

"Li Heng!"

"puff!"

He couldn't hold back the blood and finally spat it out.

"Imperial Physician! Call the Imperial Physician!"

Empress Changsun hurried over to support Li Shimin.

First time!
Li Shimin hated his physical condition so much that he couldn't even faint even after vomiting blood!
I can only continue to watch!

……

[On September 757, AD, Li Chu, the Grand Marshal of the Army and Prince of Guangping, led the troops of Shuofang, Anxi and other towns and elite soldiers borrowed from the Huihe, Nanzhao and Dashi, a total of troops, set out from Fengxiang and marched towards Chang'an.]

[On September 27, the various armies gathered in the western suburbs of Chang'an City and lined up east of the Lishui River north of Xiangji Temple.]

[Guo Ziyi led the army in the center, while Li Siye's army and Wang Sili's army were the front and rear armies respectively.]

[The Yan army also deployed 100,000 troops in the north. ]

……

On the canopy.

The Yan army's elite bows and arrows pierced through the Tang army's formation, and the two sides engaged in hand-to-hand combat.

The game lasts from sunrise to noon.

The Tang army began to lose its balance and seemed to be on the verge of collapse.

At this time, the general who was at the head of the front army and fighting with the Yan army saw that things were going badly, and wielded the long sword in his hand to drive away the enemy soldiers.

Then he said to his left and right:

"If I don't sacrifice myself to lure the enemy today, there will be no one left in the army!"

He then took off his shirt and rushed forward with a long sword in hand.

The long sword was swung left and right!

The enemy soldiers in front of him were chopped into pieces, including their horses and blood!
After chopped down dozens of people in a row, he finally managed to stabilize the situation.

Then he formed a long sword formation with the soldiers around him.

Led by Li Siye, the long sword formation advanced slowly and steadily.

Blood was flowing all around, dyeing the ground red.

The blood gathered into a pool and turned the clouds in the sky blood red.

Suddenly, a noise came from behind the Yan army.

"The Uighurs! They are the Uighurs!"

"Why are the Huihe people here?!"

"Devil! It's the devil!"

General Chishen had no time to think and led his generals forward!

The picture gradually shakes upward.

The entire battlefield is in sight.

The armies engaged in direct combat were in a desperate struggle.

A cavalry unit on the right wing of the Yan army was broken by the Uighur cavalry that broke out from the Tang army.

Afterwards, this Uighur cavalry went around behind the Yan army, broke out of the Yan army's formation like a sharp arrow, and directly connected with the Tang army's front army.

The Yan army began to flee in all directions.

……

[At the beginning of the battle, the Tang army was thrown into disarray by the "Yiluohe" cavalry carefully selected by An Lushan, and showed signs of being defeated.]

[Li Siye, the general of the front army, took off his shirt, held a long sword in his hand, and jumped forward on his horse. He killed dozens of enemy soldiers by himself.]

[The Yan army soldiers were stunned, and the Tang army was able to catch their breath and stand firm for a while.]

[Then Li Siye and his generals formed]

[As Li Siye led his men, holding their swords high and advancing slowly.]

[The elite cavalry of the Yan army ambushed on the east side was discovered by the scouts sent by Guo Ziyi, who then ordered Pu Gu Huai'en, the commander of the left wing of the Shuofang Army, to lead the Uighur cavalry to launch a surprise attack on the enemy cavalry.]

[The Huihe cavalry killed the Yan cavalry and outflanked the Yan army from behind.]

[The Tang army and the Huihe surrounded the Yan army and beheaded 60,000 of them, capturing 20,000 alive.]

[The remaining Yan army could not hold on and retreated into Chang'an City.]

[On September 28, the Yan army defenders An Shouzhong, Li Guiren, Zhang Tongru, Tian Qianzhen and others all abandoned the city and fled.]

[The Tang army entered Chang'an without bloodshed and Chang'an was recovered. ]

……

{Huh? That's not right! How could the battle of Xiangji Temple be like what you said?! Those were 200,000 elite troops of the Tang Dynasty! There were no Uighur cavalry! It was a direct battle!}
{Yes, this stupid author knows nothing. Xia Ji's Eight Generals! This battle was terrible! One team after another came forward in an endless stream! }
{Yes, both sides are Tang warriors! They all think the other side is the rebels! This is a horrific civil war!}
……

Ji Han.

Liu Bei rubbed his eyes, then asked Zhuge Liang in confusion:
"What are they talking about? It seems that the words don't match the pictures?" Zhuge Liang was also a little confused.

"...It seems to be saying... that both sides are in an upright and direct confrontation?"

Liu Bei became even more confused. He pointed at the Hu cavalry on the sky and the Yan cavalry that had been killed, and said in bewilderment:

"Fair and upright?"

"Isn't this a standard positive-odd combination?"

"And...this is called a civil war?"

……

Tang Dynasty and Emperor Gaozu's period
"I bother!"

"Who is the same family as those traitors?"

Li Yuan pointed at the sky and cursed.

"Your family massacred their own city!"

"You are not stupid!"

"At this time! That Yin Ziqi is killing people in Hebei! He is besieging Suiyang!"

"I still think that the other side are all rebels!"

"You are blind!"

Li Yuan slammed the table and howled loudly.

"An Lushan went all the way south from Fanyang to Luoyang!"

"Because he was advocating the slogan of clearing the court of corrupt officials, I can forgive the soldiers for not knowing that they were rebelling!"

"We've arrived in Chang'an!"

"They've all become emperors!"

"Don't you know you are rebelling?"

"Are you crazy?!"

"Am I the Emperor Gaozu of Yan? ! ! ! Ah!"

……

[When the Huihe Yehu saw that Chang'an City had been recaptured, he proposed to plunder Chang'an according to the prior agreement.]

[Li Chu, the Prince of Guangping, knelt before Ye Hu's horse and begged, "We have just captured Xijing. If we immediately capture and plunder, the people of Dongjing will all be entrenched by the bandits and we will not be able to take it back. I am willing to go to Dongjing as promised."]

[Only then did Yehu lead his men to withdraw from Chang'an and set up camp east of the Chan River.]

……

Datang.

"boom!"

Li Shimin took action!

Sword pointing to the sky!

His hands were shaking but he said nothing.

"Your Majesty! Let me lead the troops! I will capture all the Huihe people!"

Cheng Zhijie took a big step forward, knelt on one knee, saluted with his hands clasped, and shouted loudly.

"General Cheng, stop messing around!"

Wei Zheng couldn't help but stepped forward and said:

"Your Majesty, everyone is angry, but don't mention that the Huihe sent troops to destroy the Xueyantuo. At this time, they are still submitting to the Tang Dynasty."

"You can't start out without a name."

Cheng Yaojin stood up, glanced at Wei Zheng, and snorted disdainfully:

"That's it, that's easy!"

Then he looked up and shouted:
"Your Majesty! Leave it to me! I promise that no one can find any fault with it!"

……

[On the first day of October, the escaped Chang'an defender Zhang Tongru and others gathered the remnants and fled to Shan County to defend it.]

[At the same time, the Luoyang army came to support, and the combined forces of the two places had about 150,000 infantry and cavalry.]

【Guo Ziyi encountered the Yan army in Xindian and was repelled by the rebels. 】【At this time, the Uighur cavalry arrived and attacked the rear of the Yan army. 】

[The Yan army was afraid of the Huihe and exclaimed: "The Huihe are coming!"]

[The Yan army was terrified upon hearing this and immediately broke down.]

[The government troops took this opportunity to attack the Yan army from both sides together with the Huihe army, and the Yan army was defeated.]

[Because the Yan army defeated in Xindian was the only army near Luoyang, Yan Emperor An Qingxu was horrified and fled Luoyang with his men before the government troops arrived.]

[By the way, they also killed all the Tang Dynasty generals Geshu Han, Cheng Qianli, Xu Yuan and others who had been captured before, and fled to Hebei.]

[On October 18, Li Chu, the Prince of Guangping, led his army into Luoyang.]

[This time he had no reason to stop the looting of the Huihe soldiers.]

[After three days of burning, killing, looting and pillaging, the people of Luoyang went from house to house and collected 10,000 pieces of silk to present to the Huihe soldiers, who then put down their weapons with satisfaction.]

……

Great Qin.

Ying Zheng touched the bamboo slips with an expressionless face.

"Lost."

This unclear sentence confused Liu Bang.

Then he immediately came to his senses.

No way...you want to compete in this too!
Liu Bang looked straight ahead, full of admiration.

Otherwise you are the First Emperor!
There are so many inexplicable persistence and wins and losses!

……

Sui Dynasty and Emperor Wen's period
Yang Jian twirled his beard in silence.

Just like in a game of Go, the winning move is of course very important, but the previous layout and moves are not meaningless.

Everyone contributed to the victory at Xiangji Temple, but it was indeed the Uighur heavy cavalry that dealt the fatal blow.

If that's the case, just give some rewards.

But the elite troops of the Tang Dynasty were almost completely wiped out by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang.

Then again…

If the Tang Dynasty had not lost all its elite troops, it would not have had to offer such harsh conditions to ask the Uighurs to send troops.

Li Longji, ah Li Longji...he really deserves to die!

……

Datang.

Li Shimin slammed the table!
Pointing at Cheng Yaojin angrily:

"Nonsense! All the people in the world are my subjects, get out!"

"Locked for three months! Not allowed to leave the house!"

Cheng Yaojin immediately understood, crossed his arms and saluted, saying in a low voice:
"I do not accept the order! But I obey your orders! I will take my leave now!"

Then he flicked his sleeves, held his head high and strode forward!

The ministers watched this scene in silence.

Even Wei Zheng closed his eyes slightly, seeming to be unaware of anything.

At the top, Empress Changsun looked at Li Shimin.

Li Shimin understood immediately and asked:
"I can't go to Li Heng's place for the time being."

"It seems that we have to wait until the performance evaluation comes out."

Empress Changsun nodded slightly and then looked at Li Shimin.

"I'll go to Li Longji later..."

"Wait until he has called all the people he should call!"

Li Shimin clenched his fists and said tremblingly:
"I want to show them what it means to be invincible once the black armor is out!"

……

Tang Ruizong Period
"Brother! This is your good son!"

Princess Taiping slammed the table and said angrily:

"One dragged the Tang Dynasty into the abyss! The other sold out the people of the Tang Dynasty!"

"A pair of beasts worse than pigs and dogs!"

"Brother! Are you going to pass on your throne to him too?!"

Li Dan looked at the sky stupidly.

It’s so difficult… so difficult…

That’s why I don’t want to be an emperor!

"But Taiping..."

Li Dan looked directly at Princess Taiping and said slowly:

"How can I be sure that you can do better than him?"

Princess Taiping said without hesitation:
"Yes, I may not be able to create that kind of prosperous era, but I also can't create that kind of chaotic era!"

"Brother! Even I can see that!"

"After this rebellion, the emperor and his generals will inevitably become alienated!"

"In order to protect themselves, those military commanders will have to raise their own troops! The military bases have become too big to be eliminated!"

"Unless we start the founding war again, the Tang Dynasty will be slowly devoured!"

"Brother! Now, the future of the Tang Dynasty depends on your thoughts!"

Li Dan folded his hands, with a confused look on his face.

"Let me think about it carefully... think about it carefully..."

……

Tang Xuanzong Period
"Call that rebellious son as well!"

Li Longji was both excited and frightened.

"quick!"

……

　The Battle of Xiangji Temple was a crucial battle.

　　The key lies in two aspects. One is to recover the two capitals.

　　On the other hand, it made the Uighurs see clearly the weakness of the Tang Dynasty.

　　Just like the beginning of the Jingkang Shame, extortion led to the destruction of the country.

　　The same is true for the Uighurs.

　　After the Battle of Xiangji Temple, the Tang Dynasty did not even have a single capable cavalry unit left.

　　The key to victory lies with the Huihe people, and this alone makes the Huihe people feel relieved!

　　As for the fact that the Tang Dynasty lost all its elite troops after the battle of Xiangji Temple...

　　Those who said this are really disrespecting Li Longji's ability to handle things in a micro-management way.

　　He was criticized for all aspects without any flaws.

　　Even if he didn't become a king who lost his country, he would have to kowtow to Zhang Xun!
