Tang Xuanzong created the "Sheng Tang" and also destroyed the "Sheng Tang". This young and heroic and promising prince became the culprit of the decline of the Tang Dynasty in the gentle township of Huaqingchi. Yuyang Nai came agitatedly, startling the neon feather song. The rebellion of An Lushan and Shi Siming became the terminator of the "Tianbao Era":
The elite troops of the northeast of the empire, the three towns of Pinglu, Fanyang, and Hedong, blew a clarion call for attack in the direction of Chang'an. In the "Battle of Qiluo", Gao Xianzhi, who was defeated by the Arab Empire, led the frustrated Anxi army and embarked on the road to the east.
The Anxi army was small in number, but there were many horses, and it was brave and good at fighting. Li Siye was a fierce general, and he had a strange knife army under his command, and he was the nemesis of the cavalry. As soon as the strange knife came out, the people and horses were shattered. Therefore, the Anxi army is not afraid of everything, they believe: they will be the guardians of the empire.
Lu Shan sent the Datong army to Gao Xiuyan Kou Hequ, Zi Yi defeated it, entered the cloud in Mayi, Opened Dongxing, and added YuShi Dafu with merit.
At the same time that the Anxi army was stationed in Luoyang, Guo Ziyi led the Shuofang army and raided An Lushan's old lair. In the land of Hebei, Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi have won many battles, and the pacification of the "Anshi Rebellion" seems to be easy.
In the same month, Ge Shuhan was defeated by thieves, Tong Guan was not guarded, and Xuanzong was fortunate to shu.
When the victory was in hand, Tang Xuanzong destroyed the Great Wall, first beheading Gao Xianzhi and then forcing Ge Shuhan to leave Tongguan. Chang'an fell, and the rebels of An Lushan swept the world for a time. Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi copied the family's strategy and put it in vain.
Li Siye led the Strange Dao Army, all the way to the destruction of people and horses, all the way to Lingwu. He didn't understand why the invincible Strange Sword Army could not protect the Tang Dynasty? Why did General Gao Xianzhi, who had returned to Wanli's aid, die at the hands of Tang Xuanzong? All he knew was that as long as he had a breath, he would fight the rebels to the end.
In September, from marshal Guangping Wang led a division of 150,000 Han into Chang'an.
The appearance of Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi gave Li Siye the hope of defending the country and also gave the people of the Tang Dynasty hope of peace. They attained nirvana in desperate circumstances, they danced in difficult situations, and they became the new pillars of the empire. Now, they have an army of 150,000, and they want to retake Chang'an.
Gui Ren first thinned our army, our army was in turmoil, Li Siye rushed forward with all his might, and more than ten thieves rode Naiding.
Li Siye held a strange knife, wounded several times in his body without retreating, and killed dozens of rebels. The morale of the Tang army was greatly boosted, and they recaptured Chang'an City in one fell swoop. Then, Guo Ziyi led the army and recaptured Luoyang. Tang Suzong took his hand and said, "The reconstruction of the country is the credit of AiQing!"
Ziyi was in the rear, and before he could fight, the wind blew up, blowing sand and pulling wood, the heavens and the earth were obscure, and he did not argue and look for it.
However, in the Battle of Xiangzhou, the sudden wind and sand made the Tang army suffer a crushing defeat. Li Siye, who was recuperating from his wounds, held a strange knife and shouted to kill the thief, and the wound cracked and bled for several liters and died. Countless generals of the Tang Army lost their young lives in this defeat.
Zhongguan Yu Chao EnSu harmed Ziyi's merits, because of his lack of vitality, the mediator of evil, sought to return to the Beijing Division.
The eunuch Yu Chao'en took the opportunity to frame Guo Ziyi, leaving the Tang army leaderless. The counterinsurgency, which had been decided by the overall situation, was once again over. Shi Siming gained a firm foothold and counterattacked from Hebei and conquered the eastern capital Luoyang. For the second time, the Tang army lost the opportunity to suppress the rebellion.
In the face of exclusion and framing, Guo Ziyi always attaches great importance to the overall situation. Having lost his military power, he even went to Hedong himself, executed the rebellious generals, and comforted the soldiers to be loyal to the country. All grievances, in Guo Ziyi's view, are not as important as the word overall situation.
The thief will force the capital to do nothing, and Jun Shangji will have nothing to do, and Ziyi will be the deputy marshal of Guannei and leave the town of Xianyang.
In 763, the Tubo army attacked, and Emperor Tang escaped from Chang'an. Guo Ziyi was ordered to take command again. This veteran who will be exhausted in his seventies and the old marshal who has been repeatedly excluded has once again shouldered the heavy responsibility of defending the country.
And is the edict, the only twenty horsemen under the commandment.
Since the defeat of the Xiangzhou army, Guo Ziyi did not lead the army for 4 years, and his disciples had left. At the beginning of the marshal, Guo Ziyi only had 20 horses. He went to Lantian and got a thousand scattered troops; went to Shangzhou and gathered three thousand Wuguan defenders; he sent letters one after another to recruit troops everywhere...
The whole of Guanzhong was able to function, and a Tang army gathered together, adding a little solemnity to this twilight empire. Guo Ziyi shed tears and lectured the soldiers - they want a snow country shame! Sword and light sword shadow, honor and respect, framed and excluded, power prestige. Everything was not important to Guo Ziyi, a veteran who was nearly seventy years old.
What he had to do was to do everything he could, to protect the people of the Empire behind him for the rest of his life. Guo Ziyi rode around Guanzhong with 20 horses, and with a strong personality charm, gathered the Tang army everywhere. He repelled the Tubo army and once again saved the fallen country.
On the occasion of Shang Shu Ling and Wu De, Emperor Taizong pleaded with Chen yesterday, please dismiss Si.
Guo Ziyi, who repelled the Tubo army, once again became a nobleman of the empire, followed by all kinds of rumors and false accusations. His smiling face occasionally flashed a bitter smile. It turns out that good people are hard to do, and good generals are even harder to do.
He pushed back the reward from the imperial court, saying that he did not do Shang Shu Ling. This is the heavy weapon of the country, the former position of Emperor Taizong (Li Shimin). Three times in a row, Tang Dynasty Emperor was very moved. This time the danger of Chang'an made him understand: Guo Ziyi recreated the Tang Dynasty, but in the imperial court of the Tang Dynasty, Guo Ziyi was unable to move forward.
In any case, he must keep this veteran who has only left the fruits, both in public and private. The wind knows the grass, and Guo Ziyi's character ability is already beyond doubt.
Sending the inner servant Yu To en, he gave the beauty Lu Shi and six other people, eight followers, and car clothes, draperies, bed urns, and treasure tools.
Emperor Tang dynasty rewarded Six beauties, including Lu Shi, to Guo Ziyi. In addition, there are a large number of car clothes, draperies, bed mats, and treasures. For a time, the Fenyang Wang's family was extremely honored.
The annual income of the official is 240,000 yuan, and the selfish interests are absent. His house is in Qinren, a quarter of his residence, Zhongtong Yong Lane, three thousand family members, and those who come and go do not know his residence.
Guo Ziyi also understood that if you want to protect the country, you can't do without status. Therefore, when he was over seventy years old, he often set up lavish banquets, gathered many beautiful women, and sang and danced all day. In addition, he had 240,000 yuan per year, and his house accounted for a quarter of the family.
Whenever a dignitary visited, he never retreated from singing and dancing, with one exception. Lu Qi came to visit, and Guo Ziyi hurriedly asked his family to retreat. Afterwards, the family did not understand, Guo Ziyi said: "Lu Qi looks ugly, and is jealous of Xianxian. Let you stay, and you will surely laugh at his looks. When I die, if he traces, he will destroy my door"!
Later, Lu Qi did indeed become a generation of adulterers, and killed those who laughed at him. In addition to living luxuriously, not to offend villains is also the wisdom of Guo Ziyi. At any time, as long as a person wants to do something big, there will be villains to hinder. Villains are inexhaustible, and those who want to do practical things must not be entangled with them. Entangled with inexhaustible villains, even if you get a good name, you will achieve nothing.
The world has been living in danger for twenty years.
Four years later, Tubo attacked again, still calmed by Guo Ziyi. Emperor Tang did not hesitate to reward, Guo Ziyi lived a luxurious life, and swallowed the anger of the villain, in exchange for the peace of the Tang Dynasty. Until 7 years later, Guo Ziyi was nearly eighty years old and was still on the front line of resistance against Tubo.
Power pours over the world and does not envy, merit covers a generation and the Lord does not doubt, extravagance of the poor desires and gentlemen are not guilty.
In 781, Guo Ziyi died of illness at the age of 85 and was given the title of "Shang Father". Guo Ziyi's life perfectly interprets: the realm of high merit and good death. Fame in the world, recreate the Tang Dynasty; be a subject and do your duty; be a husband and father, and have a peaceful family. Guo Ziyi is a general, a man, and a subject, which is enough to be called a perfect person.
Power is temporary, wisdom is eternal. The greatness of Chinese history lies in the fact that the prince will have a kind of Xiangning! After the Zhou Dynasty, there were no more nobles, or everyone was an aristocrat. We have lost, a group of people with aristocratic status; but we have created a pure land where we can pass on wisdom.
Everyone can be a gentleman, everyone can be as strong as a dragon, and the key to this is wisdom. Books, books, emperors, and ordinary people have their own wisdom and their own ways of living, and this is the foundation of our culture.
Zeng Guofan once said: "All the mediocre people in the world and in the past and in the world are defeated by a lazy word; the talented people in the world and in the past and present are all defeated by a proud word." ”
He was able to become a generation of "sages" with the resources of a Middle Man, because he studied hard day and night. On Zeng Guofan's desk, there is a strange book all year round- "The Complete Collection of Wisdom Tanks". Written by Feng Menglong in the Ming Dynasty, this book records 1238 celebrity wisdom stories from the pre-Qin to the Ming Dynasty, based on imperial generals, scholars, Confucians, and female commoners, and specializes in analyzing their tips and tricks.
Zeng Guofan read day and night, Ji Xiaolan turned his back like a stream, and Kangxi only allowed internal circulation, all in order to inherit the wisdom in the "Complete Collection of Wisdom Tanks". Because only wisdom is the foundation of "heroes do not ask for provenance".
