However, in shaping many heroic characters, in order to be able to follow his own creative concept, the author made a choice of historical figures, and some of the real heroes who were originally in the Sui and Tang dynasties did not enter the story, and were tragically abandoned, such as the famous Sui Dynasty general Zhang Sutuo, who did not mention this Sui Dynasty famous general in the series of historical novels such as "The Legend of Xing Tang" and "The Legend of Tang Dynasty". Zhang Sutuo, known by many historical researchers as the first general of the Sui Dynasty, had outstanding military achievements and made great contributions to the Sui Dynasty's Jiangshan Sheji. Zhang Sutuo, in addition to his bravery in battle, his character is not bad and is praised by people.
The first general of the Sui Dynasty, he lived up to his name and distinguished himself in battle
Zhang Sutuo, who is both wise and courageous, is an expert in leading soldiers to fight. He made great contributions to the establishment and stability of the Sui Dynasty, and when he was young, he followed the famous Sui Dynasty general Shi Wanzai to conquer the battlefield, and experienced countless large and small battles in his life, and every battle was won. When the Sui Emperor ascended the throne, some of his absurd acts caused the four heroes to rebel against the dissatisfaction, and Zhang Sutuo was ordered to become the premier candidate for the Sui Emperor's eastern expedition to the west to quell the rebellion. Zhang Sutuo did not disappoint the Sui Emperor: quelling Wang Bo's rebellion; suppressing the Pei Shi rebellion, the hero rebuilt his meritorious deeds; Hao destroyed the combined rebels such as Guo Fangqian and Qin Junhong; quelled the rebellion of Zuo Xiaoyou; defeated the rebellion of Lu Mingyue's hundreds of thousands of troops with fewer victories and more, and so on. Zhang Sutuo Wei Zhen Huaxia was known as the first general.
Love soldiers like sons, regard death as a return, and fight to the death for the salvation of the troops
Zhang Sutuo, who fights fiercely, his personality charm is also extraordinary, he loves soldiers like sons, loves generals like fools, loves the people for good, and such a person is also deeply supported and loved by soldiers, so Zhang Sutuo has gathered many heroes and good men, such as Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, Luo Shixin and other famous generals of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, who are all generals under Zhang Sutuo. Zhang Sutuo has experienced countless battles, large and small, and has made great achievements. However, in the final battle against Zhai Rang and Li Mi (in the front and Zhai Rang fought more than thirty battles large and small and won), unfortunately, they were ambushed, Zhang Sutuo and the generals were deeply encircled, Zhang Sutuo was not afraid, the Prancing Horse shot out of the siege, it can be seen that his troops will still be surrounded by enemy troops, and Zhang Sutuo, who loves soldiers like sons, will return to the enemy line to rescue his subordinates, so four times, but his subordinates always can't rush out and are defeated.
Seeing that his subordinates were killed one by one, with countless casualties, even if he could break through, it was difficult to see the monarch with his face, so he looked up at the sky and sighed: "The soldiers have been defeated to such a situation, even if they still have the face to go back to see the Son of Heaven." Therefore, he jumped off his war horse, stopped retreating, fought with the enemy to the death, and finally the outnumbered were killed by Li Mi, Zhai Rang and other coalition forces. Zhang Sutuo, after his death, his soldiers who did not die in battle were very sad and cried for days. It can be seen that Zhang Sutuo led the troops with a way and won the hearts of the people!
