Chapter 141 Princess Pingyang ()

My charming, short-lived ancestor: Wow! Throw flowers!
Jiangnan is in mist: I think this one is even more powerful than Princess Xianyang! After all, she is truly loyal!
I send my longing to the bright moon: There is no way, the people who are the emperor are all her family members!
Wan Ning can't sleep acridine (Guan): Hahahahaha, they are indeed family members, even the two from the Sui Dynasty are also her relatives.

Community of Contradictions: Yes, and this sister is really powerful. She is really good at fighting!
Yun Xi: Agreed! I don't even know what Li Yuan's expression looks like when he knows his daughter is so powerful.

Don’t let the world grow old: Yes, Li Yuan is really awesome, each child is better than the last!
Siyu: Seconded!
隋朝
Yang Jian looked at the sky and said, "Why do I think Li Yuan can be protected like Huo Zhongru?"

Queen Dugu looked at his expression and knew that he wanted Li Yuan to have more children. She smiled and said: "The main thing is that these two people know how to teach children. I feel that I can let them pass on their experience."

Yang Jian smiled slightly and said nothing.

Su Yue looked at them and said, "Okay, let's take a look at the starting point of this princess!"

rise up
Princess Pingyang Zhao is the third daughter of Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan, and the beloved daughter of Li Yuan's first wife, Dou Shi (Queen Dou).

Her name and date of birth are not recorded in the "Old Book of Tang" and "New Book of Tang", which record her deeds.

Li Yuan married his third daughter to the military general Chai Shao.

After the marriage, Chai Shao and his wife settled in Chang'an City.

In May of the 617th year of the Sui Dynasty (AD ), Li Yuan decided to raise an army.

Before Li Yuan launched his army, Princess Pingyang Zhao and Chai Shao were in Chang'an at the time. Li Yuan sent an envoy to secretly recall them back.

Chai Shao said to Princess Pingyang Zhao: Your father is about to raise an army to bring peace to the troubled times. I plan to go to meet his righteous flag. It is not feasible to leave together. I am afraid that you will be in danger after leaving alone. What should I do? "

Princess Pingyang Zhao said: "You should leave as soon as possible. I am a woman and it is easy to hide when I am in danger. I will be able to do something by then."

So Chai Shao immediately went straight to Taiyuan from the trail.

Princess Pingyang was making various arrangements at the rear.

She soon returned to the Li family manor in Hu County (today's Huyi District, SX Province). She disguised herself as a man and called herself Mr. Li. She sold local properties to provide relief to the victims, and soon recruited a team of several hundred people.

Soon the news of Li Yuan's revolt came.

Princess Pingyang heard the news and was determined to recruit more troops for her father.

My charming but short-lived ancestor: I remember she also founded the Detachment of Women, right?

The pig came to the bowl quickly: That’s right! And Niangziguan was created to commemorate her!

Jiangnan has been in the mist: Wow, who can not love this kind of young lady!

Siyu: Agreed! This Princess Pingyang is really a role model for our generation!
Pay attention, this woman’s name is Xiaomei: seconded! So she deserves to be buried with military honors!
Su Yue looked at them talking and said, "Okay, okay, let's take a look at this outstanding princess's strategy to defeat the enemy!"

Rice soup drives away enemy soldiers
It is said that after Princess Pingyang led the women's army to station at Niangziguan, she relied on the natural dangers to build fortifications and strictly fortified the area, preventing the enemy from taking advantage of it.

Once, Liu Heitu's troops launched a massive attack. Princess Pingyang saw the enemy's ferocity. While facing Taiyuan, she ordered the women's army and residents to defend to the death. Due to the insufficient military strength in the pass, the situation at Niangzi Pass is very dangerous.

Facing an army several times her size, Princess Pingyang was extremely anxious. She paced anxiously on the tower, thinking of ideas, while looking far into the distance, waiting for reinforcements to arrive.

Suddenly, she accidentally saw the harvest of millet in the fields in the distance, and suddenly she became anxious and came up with a plan. So she ordered the soldiers and civilians in the city to harvest immediately, set up pots, and use the new rice to make rice soup. After the rice soup was cooked, Princess Pingyang ordered The tribe took advantage of the night and poured all of them from the pass into the ravine in front of the pass.

The next day, rice soup overflowed in the ravine in front of Niangziguan. When the enemy sentry discovered it, they suspected it was horse urine and hurriedly reported it to the commander.

The commander came out of his tent to wait and see, and saw flags on the towers fluttering, soldiers and civilians shouting loudly, and war drums beating, so he mistakenly judged that reinforcements had arrived. Fearing an ambush, the enemy finally retreated without a fight.

When they learned that this was Princess Pingyang's suspicion, reinforcements from Taiyuan had arrived, and they could only sigh in despair.

My charming but short-lived ancestor: Ah, why is my first reaction to waste food?
Fuling (Manager): It can only be said that the publicity is in place now, but at that time, the food could still be grown again. If the people were gone, it would be gone!

Pay attention, this woman’s name is Xiaomei: Yes, but seriously, this princess is really amazing!
Lonely root number three: seconded! She is really great!
Su Yue looked at their comments and said, "Okay, next one - Princess Wencheng!"

There is no record of Princess Wencheng's Han name, nor is her father's name recorded in history books. Most people speculate that she is Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia County.

Li Daozong was the nephew of Emperor Gaozu Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty. He was named the King of Rencheng for his military exploits. His daughter was born in Rencheng.

There is no record of Princess Wencheng's ancestral home, birthplace, name, or parents in the history books, but she is recorded as the daughter of a clan.

In the 8th year of Zhenguan of the Tang Dynasty (634), Songtsen Gampo, the Tubo Zangpu, sent an envoy to the Tang Dynasty, and Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty sent Feng Dexia as an envoy to Tubo.

Songtsen Gampo once again sent people to the Tang Dynasty and proposed to marry a Tang Dynasty princess, but Tang Taizong refused.

Since the Tuyuhun King Nuohebo came to see the Tang Dynasty at that time, the Tubo envoy told Songtsen Gampo after returning, claiming that the Tang Dynasty's rejection of the marriage contract was due to the Tuyuhun King's obstruction.

In the 12th year of Zhenguan of the Tang Dynasty (638), Songtsen Gampo used Tuyuhun as a hindrance and sent troops to defeat Tuyuhun, Dangxiang, and Bailanqiang, and approached Songzhou of the Tang Dynasty (today's Songpan, Sichuan). He threatened that if he did not make peace, he would lead a large-scale invasion of the Tang Dynasty.

Niu Jinda led the vanguard of the Tang army to defeat the Tubo army. Songtsan Gampo was greatly frightened. Before the main force of the Tang army led by Tang general Hou Junji arrived, he withdrew from Tuyuhun, Dangxiang and Bailanqiang. He sent envoys to apologize, proposed marriage again, and sent a large-scale discussion to Xue Ludong. Zan brought five thousand taels of gold and an equal number of other treasures to formally place the betrothal gift.

Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty made a princess a princess and married her to Songtsen Gampo.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month in the 15th year of Zhenguan (641), Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty married Princess Wencheng to Songtsen Gampo, and ordered the king of Jiangxia, Li Daozong, to escort her.

Princess Wencheng went to Tubo accompanied by Li Daozong, the younger brother of King Taizong of Jiangxia, the Tang envoy and Lu Dongzan, the Tubo envoy to welcome the bride.

Princess Wencheng and her party set out from Chang'an, passed through Xining, climbed over the Riyue Mountain, and traveled a long distance to Lhasa.

Songtsen Gampo led his ministers to Baihai near the source of the river (in today's Maduo County, Qinghai) to welcome Princess Wencheng, pay an audience with Li Daozong, and perform the ceremony of son-in-law.

Later, he returned to Luoche (today's LS) with the princess and built a city and palace for the princess.
