In the first month of 806 AD, in the land of the Tang Dynasty, war broke out again. Xichuan's rebel general Liu Pei (劉開) led an army to capture Zizhou (梓州) and captured Li Kang (李康), the envoy of Dongchuan Jiedu. What he didn't know was that at this time, the counterinsurgency army of the imperial court was already on the road.
On the twenty-third day of the first month, Emperor Li Chun issued an edict that Gao Chongwen led 5,000 people to march the camp of the Zuo Shen Ce Army, and after Li Yuanyi led the two thousand people to the palace, the Shannan Province Jiedu made Yan Li send troops to assist in the battle.
This Gao Chongwen, who was unknown at the time, was very questioned by everyone. At this point, Li Chun still did a good job, he did not doubt the use of people, insisted on letting Gao Chongwen as the commander, and showed his outstanding ability to recognize people.
It turns out that Gao Chongwen really lived up to expectations.
Under the leadership of Gao Chongwen, the imperial army performed eye-catchingly, not only strict military discipline, but also marching speed greatly beyond expectations.
The rebels had just occupied Zizhou, their butts were not yet hot, Gao Chongwen had already killed the city, Liu Pei was surprised, he was paralyzed, because the weakness of the imperial court was not a day or two, and he did not expect to play really this time.
In a hurry, Liu Pei led his army to withdraw from Zizhou, and while fleeing, he appealed to the emperor to defend himself.
This is a typical student, simply naïve. If you rebel against such a thing, either don't go or go all the way to dark, and if you choose this road, there is no way back, otherwise, it will be very difficult to do anything.
Seeing that Gao Chongwen's combat strength was strong, Liu Pei's heart became more and more bottomless, so he decided to send people to build a dangerous pass, Lutou Pass, where more than 10,000 troops were garrisoned, waiting for Gao Chongwen's attack.
However, compared with Gao Chongwen, Liu Pei's military ability was obviously insufficient. At the same time that Gao Chongwen pretended to attack Lutou Pass, he ordered Gao Xiayu to attack the commanding heights of Wanshengdui and quickly occupied it.
With just one move, Lutou Pass became a decoration, and the arrows fired by the imperial army from the Wansheng Pile fell like raindrops, and the rebels fled in defeat.
When Gao Chongwen was breaking through all the way, good news also came from Yan Li's side. Yan Li's troops destroyed more than 10,000 of Liu Pei's army in the Shibei Valley in Mianzhou.
Liu Pei was defeated in successive battles, his army was scattered, and most of the dangerous passes fell into the hands of the imperial army, and it was only a matter of time before the army was defeated.
The roof leaked in the rain, and just when Liu Pei was in a bad mood, a yin and yang thing made his defeat come early.
Hedong Jiedu sent Yan Shuo's general Ah Chu Guangyan to lead a support army to meet Gao Chongwen, but probably because the Shu Dao was so tortuous, Ah Chu Guangyan arrived a full day later than the order.
He knew that Gao Chongwen's army had always been very strict, and if he ran to meet the division at this time, Bao Buqi's head would have to be used by Gao Chongwen to sacrifice the flag.
Since this is the case, it is better to make dangerous moves, not to play cards according to common sense, and simply lead the army directly to Liu Pei's old lair, and if you are lucky, you may also make a great contribution, offset the merit, "cover up a hundred ugliness with a handsome face", and never lose your head.
To say that this is the luck of the face, it is really good. He led his army all the way to run wildly, accidentally hit and bumped, and even crashed into Liu Pei's grain road. Fearing that he would be settled by the commander-in-chief Qiu Hou, Ah Qiu Guangyan made a meritorious contribution, personally led people to fight for a while, completely cut off Liu Pei's grain route, and also captured a large number of personnel and captured a large amount of grain.
At this time, Liu Pei's rebels were repeatedly defeated, and the military's morale was floating, and when they heard that the grain road had been robbed, the military's heart fell to a freezing point, and people kept fleeing in droves to find the imperial army to surrender.
Gao Chongwen's army was so strong along the way that it was not so much a battle as it was about picking up prisoners.
Seeing this situation, Liu Pei knew that the general trend had gone. So he led dozens of cavalry to flee to Tubo.
Perhaps because Matthew was so bad, Liu Pei was chased by Gao Xiayu shortly after he escaped, and in the panic, Liu Pei decided to commit suicide by diving. However, at this point, suicide was a luxury, and Gao Xiayu fished Liu Pei up like a fish, tied him up into rice dumplings, and prepared to be escorted to Chang'an to be handed over to the emperor.
In this way, after eight months of fighting, the rebellion was finally put down by the imperial court.
This counter-insurgency is of great significance. The disadvantages of the division of the town have existed for a long time, and the prestige of the imperial court has repeatedly declined, otherwise Liu Pei would not have dared to openly punch his face. When the imperial court attacked Liu Pei, almost all the feudal towns throughout the country were on the sidelines, and if the imperial court lost this battle, the harm of the feudal towns would not only not be alleviated, but perhaps more serious. The imperial court won, and the clan towns began to look at the young emperor with admiration, and if they wanted to rebel, they would have to weigh up their abilities.
Therefore, the pacification of Xichuan was the prelude to Yuan and ZTE, and also opened a good start for Li Chun's administration.
