In the last years of the Sui Dynasty, the wind and clouds were surging and the situation was shaken. During this period, various heroes appeared on the scene, and everyone could compose a legendary story, which could be sung and wept. Sui and Tang Dynasty heroes, the name is well-known. Among the many heroes, Li Shimin stood out, defeated all kinds of heroes, and achieved his own hegemony.
On the road to hegemony, which was not very smooth for Li Shimin, he always pursued a fierce style of cutting grass and removing roots. However, his fierceness does not mean that the people around him will not be soft-hearted. Xu Maogong, a man close to Li Shimin, secretly took care of the wife and children of Shan Xiongxin, who was murdered, because of his momentary softness, laying the foundation for the future rule of the Tang Dynasty. Why is the Xu Mao Guild soft-hearted? What are the sequelae of killing Shan Xiongxin? Today, let's take a look at the earth-shattering Sui and Tang Dynasty hero picture book.
The intersection of life and death, but throwing in two lords
To say that this single male letter is definitely a generation of heroes. He was good at spears, fought bravely, dared to be the first, and was often the first to rush up in fierce battles. Although Shan Xiongxin is a samurai and has not read a few days, he is the most serious. In a long period of conquest, he made many good brothers who were on the theory of life and death, the most important of which was Xu Maogong.
The fate of Shan Xiongxin and Xu Maogong is not shallow, and the two have been close partners in cooperation since the very beginning of the Wagangzhai period. At that time, Shan Xiongxin followed Zhai Rang in battle, and they gathered many heroes Haojie and stationed themselves in Wagang Village. The big name of Wagangzhai believes that everyone will not be unfamiliar, there are too many influential figures here, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, Luo Cheng... Any one of these people is a prominent figure. How powerful Shan Xiongxin and Xu Maogong, who accompanied them day and night, can be imagined.
These two people not only have outstanding personal ability, but also have a tacit understanding. Xu Mao Gongwen and Shan Xiongxin can be martial, as long as the two people cooperate with each other, there is no battle in the world that they cannot conquer. In the baptism of battle after battle, the two people became friends of life and death. In their hearts, the other party is a person who can safely deliver his back in the sword for himself, and a person who can entrust his relatives after his death.
However, after the defeat of Li Mibing, the leader of Wagangzhai, the two people who were so good at this time, they defected to different leaders, so they also embarked on a completely different path of life.
Each is its own master, and it is painful to lose its hero
After the defeat of Li Mi, the last leader of Wagangzhai, Shan Xiongxin defected to Wang Shichong, while Xu Maogong chose Li Shimin, which led to the completely different lives of the two.
There is no doubt that Li Shimin is a wise lord, so after Xu Maogong followed him, he broke through all the way and soon took a large number of regular Sui Dynasty troops, and the more he fought, the more heroic he became. But Wang Shichong was different, and after Shan Xiongxin followed him, he was defeated and suppressed very powerless.
Through such a battle situation, we can clearly understand that when facing Li Shimin, Wang Shichong has absolutely no room for resistance. Sure enough, the two armies fought, and Wang Shichong was defeated. The leader chose to surrender, Shan Xiongxin had no way, and the iron-boned Hanzi could only surrender to Li Shimin. At this time, the happiest person was Xu Maogong, who had thought that he and Shan Xiongxin and the two brothers could fight side by side again.
Who knows, it backfired. The tough Shan Xiongxin behaved not to be humble even when he surrendered, and he had a lot of backbone. As a descendant, if you refuse to put down a proud bone, you will inevitably face bad luck. Sure enough, Li Shimin admired Shan Xiongxin very much, but when he saw Shan Xiongxin like this, he knew in his heart that this general absolutely could not be appointed with confidence. In line with the principle that it is better to destroy it than to use it for one's own use, Li Shimin ordered that Shan Xiongxin be killed.
For this result, Shan Xiongxin was not surprised, as early as the time of the defeat of the army, he was ready to die. Instead, Xu Maogong, horrified, pleaded with Li Shimin one after another. However, the will of the superior was not so easily changed, and even if Xu Maogong did his best, Shan Xiongxin still could not escape death.
Before Shan Xiongxin died, Xu Maogong quietly went to visit him and said to him: "Brother rest assured, sister-in-law and nephew, I should do my best to protect it." After speaking, Xu Maogong cut off a piece of his own flesh and sent it to Shan Xiongxin's mouth.
This is a real blood and bone blend, not a waste of two acquaintances.
The kindness of one thought is endless
After Shan Xiongxin's death, Xu Maogong did his promise and did his best to persuade Li Shimin to save Shan Xiongxin's wife and son. When listening to Xu Maogong's intercession, Li Shimin also hesitated, whether he should cut the grass and remove the roots, but just a thought of benevolence, he thought, let go of women and children. At that time, Li Shimin did not expect that because of this decision, it left a hindsmium for Datang.
This hidden danger completely broke out in the Yellow Nest Rebellion. At that time, because of dissatisfaction with the rule of the superiors, many local forces rose up and wanted to subvert the Li Tang regime. Led by the Yellow Nest, many forces have gathered below. Among the many forces, one of them is the descendants of Shan Xiongxin.
Under the pretext of avenging their ancestors, Shan Xing, Shan Wang, and other descendants of Shan Xiongxin followed Huang Chao and embarked on the road of rebellion. This chaos almost overturned the rule of Li Tang, the emperor fled in a hurry, the people of the capital were not happy, and many nobles and the descendants of the founding heroes were ruthlessly slaughtered.
Although this mighty disaster was not entirely caused by the kindness of Xu Maogong at that time, part of the reason can be traced back to that time. Because of the consideration of brotherhood and righteousness, because Mercy promised to leave a little blood of Shan Xiongxin, it led to this long-standing rebellion. If Li Shimin and Xu Maogong had a spirit in heaven, I wonder if they would regret their decision that year?
