The Tang Dynasty can be said to be the most prosperous dynasty in China's history, and its internal policy is unity and stability, harmony between the government and the people, and it is not timid at all externally, and is committed to spreading national prestige from afar. Against this backdrop of some legend, it seems normal and reasonable to do anything. And the recent fire of the TV series "Chang'an Twelve Hours" has brought us a different Datang, under such feelings, many people even put forward the topic of dreaming back to Datang.
The great Tang Dynasty makes people yearn for, and There are many legends in Datang, and some of these legends are hard to believe, and the wonder and inconceivability of the story is sighed. The next story that I want to tell is unbelievable, that is, a general created a legend - the legendary story of "one person destroying one country".
When it comes to Wang Xuance, I think everyone is not very familiar with him, and there are not many records in history, let alone found his biography. But the merit he has made can be said to be "an unprecedented miracle in the history of the world", so what is this Wang Xuance sacred? How did he achieve "one man destroy one country"?
The story about him has to start from this stone stele found in Tibet, at the end of the last century, a stone stele that had been beaten by wind and rain finally revealed its old face under the baptism of nature. The discovery of this stone stele surprised Huo Wei, a professor in the History Department of Sichuan University, who carefully cleaned the stone stele and deciphered the words recorded on 222 stone tablets with the joint efforts of everyone.
The text records the story of Wang Xuance's envoy to Tianzhu (present-day India), and the content of the record is shocking, for which experts say: It is true that one person destroys a country. It turned out that according to historical records, Wang Xuance was originally a small official of the Tang Dynasty. During the Zhenguan period, Wang Xuance was ordered to lead a 30-member mission to Tianzhu, but during this mission, Wang Xuance almost lost his life.
Originally, Tianzhu's comprehensive national strength was relatively weak, and besides, diplomacy had the principle of not cutting off, but it was a coincidence that he had just caught up with the death of the King of Jieri, the dragons were leaderless, the country was in chaos, the chancellor Nafu Emperor Alona seized the throne, and his ambitions swelled, he swept away the Tang mission, and only Wang Xuance escaped by chance.
Wang Xuance fled all the way to Tubo, where he revealed his identity as a Tang envoy to the King of Tubo and his encounter in Tianzhu. The Tubo king was not ashamed of the usurpation of the throne by Nafu Emperor Alona, so he lent Wang Xuance a few thousand Tubo soldiers and some mud Borneo cavalry. Later, when Alona shun was unprepared, Wang Xuance led his troops to kill him, and he only used less than 10,000 "foreign legions" to attack the Tianzhu kingdom, and also captured the Emperor Aronashun alive, and took his family back to Chang'an, so that Tianzhu was leaderless and chaotic.
In this story, in addition to Wang Xuance's eloquence and luck, Tubo's overtures cannot be ignored, Tubo has always been a "bomb" of Datang in the frontier, but in the face of right and wrong interests and the overall situation, Tubo has shown his attitude and strength.
Unfortunately, Wang Xuance's official position was too low, and Tianzhu's national strength was too weak, and he felt that Wang Xuance's deeds of "destroying one country by one person" were very commonplace, so at that time, tang dynasty historians were reluctant to write and ink for him, so that this hero was almost forgotten by the world for his legendary feats. Seeing here, you will also react like the netizens, I can't believe it! This Wang Xuance is also too powerful.
