The famous Tang Dynasty general Li Yu became famous in a war because he entered Cai Prefecture on a snowy night and pacified Huaixi, just like Huo's illness, a battle was enough to be immortal, and his name was passed down to the world. He was born to capture the king. After this battle, the kings of the various clans who had divided the territories were frightened when they heard the news, and they all expressed their willingness to submit. In the middle and late Tang Dynasty, the feudal kings were divided into various territories, nominally still the territory of the Tang Dynasty, but in fact the central government decrees were completely invalid among the feudal kings. Through this battle, the Tang army was able to take advantage of the victory over the various forces that broke the feudal kings, so that the situation of division achieved a brief unification in the hands of Tang Xianzong. Although this brief unification during the Yuan and ZTE periods was not the credit of Li Yu alone. However, objectively speaking, this battle still played a decisive role.
Those who are interested can see for themselves the description of the battle of entering Caizhou on the night of snow, and the reason why this battle is classic is not just the brilliant deeds of Wu Yuanji who were born in a surprise attack. It took almost a year from the layout of this battle to the completion of such a perfect layout. It can be said that in the face of huge doubts and pressures, step by step, steady and steady, step by step to reverse the situation, and finally seize the opportunity, one blow must be killed, and the decapitation operation is perfectly realized. Why did it take him so long to complete this feat that seemed simple in the history books with only one or two sentences? Don't be obscured by the glory of the early Tang Dynasty overshadowing the fact that the decline of the middle and late periods is obscured. The actual situation is that the gap between the central army in the middle and late Tang Dynasty and the army in Fanzhen is still very large.
In the twelfth year of Yuan He, Li Chun of Tang Xianzong, who had long been very unhappy with the town, set out to attack Wu Yuanji, who supported the self-reliant Huaixi Jiedushi, but the former commander Gao Xiayu was a Zhao Kuo-style figure, and naturally returned with a big defeat. The later commander-in-chief Yuan Zi was a master of dancing and ink, and he was defeated without thinking about it. In this case, it may be that Li Yu really can't see it, or maybe the group of people who only know how to fight for power and profit really have no face and can't find anyone. Li Yu volunteered to serve as the commander of the Tang and Deng armies in the West Road. At first, Li Yu took advantage of the rebels' victorious indulgence and took advantage of the low morale of the Tang army's consecutive defeats. Using psychological tactics to confuse the enemy, deliberately not to organize armaments. This kind of thing was naturally reported by someone, and Li Yu may have read the allusion of Lü Meng's white-clad crossing of the river and ignored this situation under pressure. In fact, at that time, the Tang army was defeated for a long time, and the generals distrusted the commander and were extremely war-weary. As a brave and resourceful general, Li Yu naturally saw this kind of war-weariness, and he dismissed the prostitutes who were from the army, did not set up banquets, appeased the wounded soldiers, and gradually resolved the war-weariness mentality among the soldiers. Regarding the prostitutes who play in the military, it is not clear that conquests were common in ancient times.
Later, Li Yu captured Wu Yuanjixiao's general Ding Shiliang, and the general requested that Ding Shiliang be killed, and under his guarantee, Ding Shiliang served his life. In the simple account, after deep consideration, it is not difficult to see that Li Yu has used his psychology to gain the approval of the generals. After Ding Shiliang served his order, he took the initiative to ask Chen Guangqia, the military commander of the rebel Wu Xiulin, to arrest him, and the history of what happened in it is not recorded in detail. The morale of the soldiers under Li Yu was greatly boosted, and they had the determination to kill the enemy to the death, and most importantly, the rebels began to have the tendency to disintegrate in their hearts, and surrendered in pairs of threes and threes, while Li Yu appeased the descendants, and according to the specific conditions, they were resettled one by one, and there were parents in the family who needed to be cared for, and they were sent home with money and food. After all, battles are not meant to be fought. Li Yu sent his ten generals to dismantle the enemy's advance step by step. From every time he captured the Huaixi sergeant, he had to personally inquire, analyze and understand the layout of the rebel army, and prepare for the realization of his victory in the first battle. It can be seen that Li Yu is really very calm, just like Li Mu and Wang Qi, who braved the pressure step by step, and finally defeated the Xiongnu and destroyed Chu in one fell swoop.
If we talk about Li Yu's achievements, this is his greatest achievement, and it is his remarkable achievement to become a famous general. Of course, objectively speaking, there was Tang Xianzong's determination to quell the rebellion in western Huaixi, and Pei Du led the main force to attract Wu Yuanji's main forces, creating objective conditions. Objectively speaking, Li Yu still possessed the noble character and loyalty and integrity of being a subordinate, and from his suppression of the rebellion, we can see his benevolence to the soldiers and the people, and judging from the fact that after he captured Wu Yuanji, he did not take pride in his subordinate salute when he paraded out to meet his superior Pei Du. Because at this time, Pei Du and Li Yu's actual official positions were on a par, but Pei Du had the position of tang Xianzong's appointment to command the army, which was a powerful and unrealistic chief official.
After pacifying Huaixi, Pinglu Jiedu caused Li Shidao to rebel again, and he was transferred to counterinsurgency. Other deeds naturally include Li Yu's benevolence and love for the people, which was judged by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, such as Tian Hongzheng, who was valued by him, was killed and wanted to lead an army to beg thieves, but at this time he suddenly fell seriously ill, and died of illness shortly after returning to Luoyang, at the age of forty-nine. After his death, his nickname was Wu. As a military general, it is impossible to add a nickname, not to mention the highest number. In history, people who have taken Wu as a nickname are all celebrities, such as Zhuge Wuhou. The highest courtesy name in the civil service system is Wen, such as Fan Wenzhenggong. Taking Wu as his nickname is Li Yu's highest evaluation and honor.
