He was originally a peasant revolt, and later submitted to the Tang Dynasty, destroying the Eastern Turks for the Tang Dynasty, conquering the Western Turks, Pingliangling, Yi Baekje, and Goguryeo.
Over seventy years old, it is still opening up the territory of the Tang Dynasty. He is the famous Tang Dynasty general Su Dingfang!
But his reputation in the folk has not been very good, which is influenced by some reviews and operas.
So what is the image of Su Dingfang in real history?
When I watched the biography of Sui and Tang heroes when I was a child, and when I saw Luo Cheng trapped in the quagmire by Su Dingfang and pierced by ten thousand arrows, I would instantly cry and weep.
He couldn't help but hate Su Dingfang, who killed Luo Cheng.
In the commentaries such as "Sui and Tang Dynasty" and "Speaking of Tang", Su Dingfang directly appeared as a villain, repeatedly opposing the idol-level hero Luo Cheng.
He first shot Luo Yi with a dark arrow while fighting Luo Cheng's father Luo Yi.
Later, outside the Bauhinia Pass, he used a trick to lure Luo Cheng into the mud swamp and shoot him to death with a random arrow.
He continued to commit evil and made enemies with Luo Cheng's son Luo Tong and others.
In the opera adapted from the commentary "Luo Tong Sweeps the North", he has a white face and long hair, and he is already an authentic traitor.
Su Dingfang's grandson Su Baotong grew up to become the Marshal of Western Liang, and then led a large army to fight against the Tang Dynasty, killing many descendants of the founding fathers of the Tang Dynasty, and was eventually suppressed by Xue Dingshan.
Such a deduction is really fictional!
Su Dingfang, the name of the martyr, the word Dingfang, with the word line in the world.
When Su Dingfang was a teenager, he was known for his bravery and courage, and he accompanied his father to fight traitors and stabilize the township.
After Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty ascended the throne, he acted perversely, which led to continuous peasant uprisings in various places, and Su Dingyi also joined the rebel army.
He first defected to the Hebei rebel army led by Dou Jiande and Liu Heimin, and made many achievements in battle.
Later, Dou Jiande and Liu Heimin were defeated one after another, and Su Dingfang returned to his hometown.
It was not until the reign of Emperor Taizong of Tang that Su Ding began to serve the Tang Dynasty, and then participated in the Northern Expedition to the Eastern Turks.
Su Dingfang was known as the God of War of the Tang Dynasty from this time on.
Su Dingfang personally led two hundred elite horsemen to raid the Eastern Turk Yin mountain camp, at this time there were tens of thousands of troops in the Yin Mountain, su Dingfang secretly marched by fog.
About a mile away from the Turkic garrison, the fog suddenly cleared, and Su Dingfang saw the tooth tent and attacked on horseback, personally killing dozens of people.
Jieli Khan and Princess Yicheng of the Sui Dynasty fled with only a few dozen retinues, and the rest of the people fell into submission.
Li Jing's army arrived, and the Eastern Turks collapsed, capturing more than 100,000 men and women and hundreds of thousands of miscellaneous animals.
Su Dingfang thus became a god in a battle.
By the spring of 655, Goguryeo, together with Baekje and Jingju, attacked Silla and captured more than thirty cities in its northern territory.
Silla sent envoys from the Tang Dynasty for help, and Emperor Gaozong of Tang ordered Su Dingfang and Cheng Mingzhen, the governor of Yingzhou, to lead an army of 10,000 against Goguryeo.
In May, Su Dingfang and others crossed the Liaoshui, and Goryeo saw that the Tang army was small, so they crossed the Guiduan Water to meet the battle.
Su Dingfang seized the favorable fighter, personally led 3,000 elites to cut off the Goguryeo Middle Road army, and then ordered the whole army to attack and defeat Goguryeo in one fell swoop.
He also avenged the Sui Dynasty soldiers killed and wounded by the Expedition to Goguryeo during the Sui Dynasty, and the Heroes of China.
Subsequently, the expedition to the Western Turks, Su Dingfang even used 500 elites to destroy the 20,000 cavalry of the Western Turks.
Su Dingfang destroyed a total of three kingdoms and captured three lords, so there is no second person in China's military history.
General Su Dingfang is the farthest and most spanned person in China.
From the southwest, northwest to the northeast, it was difficult in the infantry era.
He conquered the Western Turks in the west, pacified the Green Ridge, northernly attacked the Eastern Turks, resisted Goguryeo in the east, and opened up the territory of the Tang Dynasty to Central Asia to the west and to the Korean Peninsula in the east, establishing immortal merits for the Tang Dynasty.
In the era of cold weapons, the battlefield spans more than 10,000 miles, and it is always more than less, relying on these alone, Su Dingfang is a well-deserved God of War of the Tang Dynasty.
However, it is really deplorable that the god of war has been portrayed as a traitor.
