Tang Taizong Li Shimin in our impression is simply the representative of the Ming Emperor, Yunwen Yunwu, in the political means are extremely outstanding; in the military, the defeat of tiance fu is also counted. But it was such a perfect monarch who was killed and fled when he was young. Who is this fierce man? He is Xue Ju.
As we all know, at the end of the Sui Dynasty, due to the great chaos in the world, heroes rose up everywhere. And Xue Ju is one of them. There is no specific age of him in the history books, only that he was born in the Xue clan of Hedong, looked very tall and burly, Xiao Yong was good at shooting, the family had a lot of money, he was very proud, and he liked to make friends with Haojie.
In the last years of the Sui Dynasty, Xue Ju served as a lieutenant in Jincheng Province. Thirteen years of great cause, when the year of great disasters, the people's hearts are fluctuating, thieves are frequent, and the people are not happy. The county ordered Hao Yu to gather thousands of people and let Xue Ju lead the crusade against the thieves. Who knew that Xue Ju was very ambitious, and took this as an opportunity to hijack the county order and rebel. Occupy the land of the county town, imprison the officials of the county town, and open warehouses to release grain. Gather the hearts and minds of the people. Xue Ju called himself the "Overlord of Western Qin". The founding name was Qin Xing. Xue Ju then recruited the thief Ju Kou to attach himself to him, and then plundered the grain and grass of the imperial court and the official horses to enrich his soldiers and horses. In the battle with Emperor Fuxuan, with the help of the merits of heaven and time, he successfully completed the feat of breaking 10,000 with 2,000 people, and even Minshan Qiang led 20,000 people to surrender, and for a time the power was extremely large, and the soldiers pointed out that they all surrendered. Even more, in a short period of time, he took the land of Longxi as his own, and the military strength was so great that no one dared to oppose it at the time. Within ten days, the land of Longxi was exhausted, so it is often said that there is the courage of the overlord.
In 617, as Xue Ju's majesty grew and his soldiers became sharper, Xue Ju openly proclaimed himself emperor, and in order to expand the territory of his subordinates, the soldiers helped the wind. Fufeng's thief Kou Tangbi desperately resisted, and Xue Ju's elite could not win, and then his son Xue Rengao raided tang bi's thief army and collected almost all the thieves. After this battle, Xue Ju's power was great, and the number of soldiers reached 200,000.
With the expansion of power, Xue Ju's ambitions were also greatly inflated, and Xue Ju wanted to capture Chang'an in order to calm the people's minds. However, at this time, it was Li Valve who supported the daiwang to enter Chang'an to succeed to the throne, so Li Shimin went to resist Xue Ju, and a big battle came between the two sides, but Xue Ju could not defeat Li Shimin, and under the persuasion of the counselors, he withdrew his army.
Later, Li Yuan founded datang and became the ruler of Chang'an. Xue Ju wanted to avenge him. Sui Xueju accepted the advice of the counselors to cooperate with the Liang capital division and the Turks, and wanted to invade the Tang state and attack its capital division. However, because Yuwen Xin persuaded the Xiongnu to strike back, the alliance broke down, and Xue Ju's plan failed.
However, this failure did not eliminate Xue Ju's covetousness for datang. Soon, Xue Ju tangled with his forces and invaded Jingzhou in Datang in a big way, plundering many states of Datang with rangers. Li Yuan was furious and sent Li Shimin to meet the enemy. Li Shimin was well versed in the art of war, knowing that Xue Ju was fighting on the line and that the supply ability was definitely insufficient, so he could not hang his cards and stubbornly defended the fortified city. Xue Ju was also helpless about such an approach. But the sky did not go according to people's wishes, when Xue Ju was about to be unable to hold on. However, Li Shimin fell ill and could only order his soldiers to hold out. However, Li Shimin's generals despised Xue Ju too much, and they actually calculated out of the city for Xue Ju's many provocations. In the end, the Tang army was defeated, and six out of ten victims were killed. Even Li Shimin's generals were taken prisoner several times, and Li Shimin, who was as strong as heavenly khan, could only flee in such a defeat. Xue Ju thus captured Jingzhou.
In August, Xue Ju listened to the counselors and invaded Ningzhou with his soldiers and horses with great victory. It was only when he was about to go on a military expedition that he fell seriously ill. So he found a witch to see himself, and the witch said that this was Tang Bing's means. Xue Ju was very angry when he heard this, and soon he died of illness.
After Xue Ju's death, his son Xue Rengao succeeded to the throne, and although Xue Rengao was brave and fierce, he was still too far away from his father, and was destroyed by the Tang Before Xue Ju could be buried.
Unfortunately, a generation of tyrants and their forces disappeared overnight. If he does not die early, what will happen to the world is still unknown.
