In the last years of the Sui Dynasty, the world was in chaos, and if there was a gun, it was the king of grass. The warlords who emerged at that time seemed to have sprung up after a rain. Li Mi of the Wagang Army was originally the strongest, but as a result, under the blows of Yu Wenhua and Wang Shichong, he suddenly collapsed. After the defeat of the Wagang army, Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin defected to the Sui Dynasty's emperor Tai Lord. Wang Shichong staged a mutiny and took control of the Sui Dynasty's emperor. Emperor Tai became the smaller Emperor Xian of Han, and Wang Shichong became the Sui and Tang versions of Cao Cao.
Wang Shichong wanted to be emperor, so he forced the emperor to give him the throne "Zen". Wang Shi served as emperor with the name of Da Zheng and the era name of enlightened. Wang Shi is full of world propaganda that he is "opening tomorrow", but he is not enlightened at all. Wang Shichong watched his subordinates abandon him one after another, and he also panicked. Wang Shichong tore off the disguise of "opening tomorrow's son" and did a very dirty thing. Wang Shichong detained the families of the military generals in the palace. Whoever warrior dares to run, he will kill his family.
Wang Shichong detained the family members of the military generals in the palace, turning the palace into a large prison. Wang Shichong detained more than 10,000 military generals' families, resulting in a lack of food supply in the palace, and on average dozens of military generals' families starved to death every day. (This matter is exemplified in the New Book of Tang. Wang Shichong's biography says: "With Miyagi as the great prison, if you guess evil, you will take it in, and your family will be in the palace." or fate, or to question his widow. He was imprisoned and had 10,000 mouthfuls, and he did not have enough food, and starved to death dozens of days. ”）
In doing so, Wang Shichong made his subordinate military generals see clearly the so-called "Kai MingZi", which was just the true face of a despicable villain. Wang Shichong detained the family members of the military general, and instead of preventing the military general from leaving him, it triggered a wave of defection from the military general. The famous Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, Luo Shixin, Li Junxian, and others all managed to leave Wang Shichong and defect to Li Yuan, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Qin Qiong left Wang Shichong to defect to Li Yuan, but also after a fierce ideological struggle. Qin Qiong's wife and children were also detained in the palace by Wang Shichong. Qin Qiong knew that if he stayed by Wang Shichong's side, the whole family would have to die. Without Wang Shichong, his wife and children will definitely be killed by Wang Shichong, but he can have the opportunity to avenge his wife and children. Qin Qiong took the lesser of two evils and left Wang Shichong. Wang Shichong, in accordance with the custom, killed Qin Qiong's wife and children.
At that time, there were still many people who did the same as Qin Qiong, such as a military general named Du Guji, who wanted to leave Wang Shichong and defect to Li Yuan. The lone machine was different from Qin Qiong, who had successfully defected to Li Yuan. The lone machine's escape plan was known to Wang Shichong before it was implemented. Wang Shichong was very angry, and the consequences were very serious, so he killed the lone machine.
When Wang Shichong was in a mess for the defection of his troops, Li Shimin led the Tang soldiers and horses to the door. Along with Li Shimin, there were also his enemies Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin. Wang Shichong looked down on Li Shimin at first. He thinks that Li Shimin is just a "Tang Tong". Under Li Shimin, there were many people like Qin Qiong, all of whom were soldiers who left Wang Shichong to join the Tang Dynasty, and their wives and children were killed by Wang Shichong a lot. The Tang generals, full of hatred, closely united around Li Shimin, and beat Wang Shichong's Zheng Jun to the ground looking for teeth.
Wang Shichong saw that Dazheng's army could not defeat Li Shimin's Tang army, and sent someone to ask Dou Jiande, the king of Xia, for support. Dou Jiande came to Tiger Prison Pass with his soldiers and horses and was defeated by Li Shimin. In the battle to defeat Dou Jiande, Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin and others showed extraordinary bravery. Dou Jiande was captured alive by Li Shimin, who escorted Dou Jiande to the city of Luoyang. When Wang Shichong saw that the situation was not right, he wanted the generals to protect him from breaking through. The New Book of Tang records that in the face of Wang Shichong's request, the generals reacted by "not answering."

Wang Shichong is not a good boss, he reached a critical moment, only to think of letting his subordinates fight for his life, and it is strange that his subordinates can agree. At this time, the eldest grandson An Shi entered the city to persuade him to surrender. The eldest grandson, An Shi, was a subordinate of Wang Shichong and was captured alive by Li Shimin. Li Shimin asked his eldest son An Shi to bring a message to Wang Shichong: "As long as you lay down your weapons, you can surrender your guns and not kill." If you resist to the end, Dou Jiande is your example. ”
Wang Shichong wanted to break through, but the generals refused to give their lives. Wang Shichong really had no choice but to ask the eldest son An Shi to relay to Li Shimin: "As long as His Highness the King of Qin promises to spare me from death, I will lead the soldiers and civilians of Luoyang out of the city and surrender." ”
Li Shimin agreed to Wang Shichong's request and promised to spare him from death. Wang Shichong opened the gates of Luoyang City and surrendered to the Tang army. Wang Shichong's kaiming son, only less than three years, the Great Zheng Dynasty was finished. From a personal point of view, Qin Qiong definitely wanted to kill Wang Shichong and avenge his wife and children. The crux of the matter was that Li Shimin promised rao that Wang Shichong would not die, and Qin Qiong would not be able to do anything about it.
The New Book of Tang records that Li Shimin took Wang Shichong to Chang'an and handed him over to his father Luoyang. Li Yuan counted Wang Shichong's guilt and prepared to kill Wang Shichong. Wang Shichong hurriedly said to Li Yuan, "The crime of the courtiers cannot be condemned, but xu chen, the king of Qin, will not die." ”
Li Yuan heard that Li Shimin promised not to kill Wang Shichong, and there was nothing he could do. No matter what Li Yuan did, he also had to take care of Erlang's face. Li Yuan ordered that, looking at the face of the King of Qin, Rao Wang Shichong would not die, demote him to a commoner, and the whole family would be sent to Sichuan.
Li Yuanman preached that Wang Shichong was going to Sichuan. This is shouting to Wang Shichong's enemies: "Dear enemies of Wang Shichong, your opportunity has come, you hurry to intercept Wang Shichong on the way, there are resentments, there are revenges, there are revenge." Opportunities are not available every day, seize the opportunity to start, opportunities do not come every day, miss the opportunity can not come ah. ”
Wang Shichong's enemies, however, have gone. DuGu Ji, who was killed by Wang Shichong, had a son named Du Gu Xiude. Dugu Xiude was serving as a yulin general under Li Yuan, and when he heard that Wang Shichong was going to Sichuan, he ambushed him halfway through. Wang Shichong was intercepted by Dugu Xiude in the middle of the road, and Dugu Xiude shouted loudly: "Father Hate Fu and Gong Dai Tian, I will kill you to avenge Lord Kao!" ”
Dugu Xiude rushed up and stabbed Wang Shichong to death with one knife. After Dugu Xiude killed Wang Shichong, he returned to the capital and surrendered himself to Li Yuan. Li Yuan was happy in his heart, but on the surface he still had to criticize Du Lonely Xiude a few words. Li Yuan not only criticized Du Lonely Cultivation Virtue, but also severely punished Lonely Cultivation Virtue. Li Yuan dismissed Du Lonely Xiude from the position of general, of course, Li Yuan punished Du Lonely Xiude, that is, a punishment of three cups of wine. Dugu Xiude made a comeback not long after this incident, and his career was still very smooth, and finally he rose step by step and became Zong Zhengqing of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Yuan pretended to deal with Dugu Xiude in order to show his subjects: "Erlang promised not to kill Wang Shichong on behalf of the Tang dynasty royal family, and our words count." Wang Shichong was killed by Dugu Xiude because he made too many enemies and was killed by the enemy family. This matter is really not my business. ”
