In the third year of Xianqing (658 AD), Wei Chi Jingde died at home at the age of 74. Emperor Gaozong of Tang deposed the dynasty for three days, posthumously presented Situ and the governor of the prefecture with the posthumous title of "Zhongwu" and buried zhaoling.
The dangerous body is dedicated to the loyal, and the disaster is determined to be chaotic.
Very in place, very fit.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > meet the right person at the right time</h1>
In the third year of WuDe (620 AD), the 36-year-old Wei Chi Jingde met the 22-year-old Li Shimin, was pressed to the ground and educated well, surrendered convincingly, and since then he has been dead to Li Shimin.
At the right time, when meeting the right person, what he learned in his life was fully exerted, which also made wei Chi Jingde's legendary life.
In the early Tang Dynasty, famous generals emerged. Unlike "strategic planning commanders" such as Li Jing, Li Ji, and Su Dingfang, Wei Chi Jingde, like Qin Shubao, is really an out-and-out "tactical execution general." Li Shimin's tactical system allowed fierce generals such as Wei Chi Jingde and Qin Shubao to maximize their value.
So, what kind of tactics does Li Shimin have?
"In every battle, the people of the world are taken as the forward by The Commander of the Xuanjia Commandery, and take the opportunity to attack, and every direction is destroyed, and the enemy is afraid of it." —— "Zizhi Tongjian"
Along with Qin Shubao, Cheng Zhijie, and Zhai Changsun, he was a general of the Xuanjia Army, and the importance of Wei Chi Jingde to Li Shimin was self-evident. As an outstanding commander, and like to go deep into the dangerous situation to play excitement, Li Shimin needs most is a "tactical execution general" like Wei Chi Jingde, because he is brave enough! Fierce enough!
"I hold the bow and arrow, and the public and the hammer follow, although a million people are as good as I am!" —— "Zizhi Tongjian"
Wei Chi's courage in honor of virtue gave Li Shimin the courage to "wave a wave" when facing Dou Jiande's pursuit of soldiers.
Good at capturing the horse mallet, avoiding the horse mallet, and bravely championing the three armies, Wei Chi Jingde made Li Yuanji of Xiao Yong deeply jealous. In a sense, Wei Chi Jingde to Li Shimin is a bit like Xu Chu in the Three Kingdoms period to Cao Cao, who quickly grew into one of the core figures of the Qin Dynasty.
It is no accident that Wei Chi Jingde and Qin Shubao, who represented the ceiling of the force value of the famous generals of the early Tang Dynasty, were mixed up under Li Shimin's tactical system.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > the dangerous body, known as loyalty</h1>
To Li Shimin, Wei Chi Jingde was always loyal, almost making people forget that he was originally just a general.
The two armies faced each other, only because Li Shimin said a sentence, "The other place is really good horse", Wei Chi Jingde rushed to the enemy position without saying a word, and snatched the horse.
It is precisely because of this that Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji will have the mentality of "not getting it and destroying it" towards Wei Chi Jingde. Because they couldn't imagine how far this Wei Chi Jingde could fight for Li Shimin.
Emperor Taizong said: "The heart of the public is as lush as a mountain, the accumulation of gold is to the bucket, and the knowledge of public sentiment is immovable." - Old Book of Tang
"Your heart is as strong as a mountain, and piling up gold as high as the Big Dipper can't shake your loyalty." Although Li Shimin's words are obvious, they are not excessive.
At the Battle of Luoyang, Shan Xiongxin raised his hammer to stab Li Shimin, but was provoked by Wei Chi Jingde.
In the Battle of Shuishui, Wei Chi Jingde fought desperately to rescue Li Shimin and Li Daozong, who were under siege.
During the change of Xuanwu Gate, Li Shimin was pressed to the ground by Li Yuanji, and Wei Chi Jingde first drove Li Yuanji away and then shot him to death with an arrow.
The merit is higher than the savior, and Wei Chi Jingde's three rescue deeds are enough to make him stand in the annals of history. Although he was proud of his achievements, he always raised the bar with the eldest son Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others, and almost blinded Li Daozong with another punch, in exchange for only a "warning" punishment.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > Keding Disaster, Wu</h1>
In terms of the Fa, the strong and straight are known as martial arts, the mighty enemy is known as wu, the calamity of keding is known as wu, the criminals overcome the wu, and the people of the people are praised and deprecated. Wei Chi Jingde's "martial arts" are absolutely positive, and personal tendencies tend to think that this is the martial art of the curse of the curse.
Since the fall of the Tang Dynasty, as a fierce general under Li Shimin, Wei Chi Jingde has successively followed Wang Shichong, Dou Jiande, Liu Heimin, and Xu Yuanlang in Pingding, and participated in several important battles in the unification war in the early Tang Dynasty.
During the xuanwumen rebellion, Wei Chi Jingde, as an important planner and implementer, persuaded Li Shimin to preemptively attack, and then shot Li Yuanji and forced Li Yuan, making a great contribution.
At the beginning of Li Shimin's reign, Jieli Khan's 200,000 troops suppressed Jingzhou and Wugong. Wei Chi Jingde was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Jingzhou Dao March, breaking the Turks and creating favorable conditions for Li Shimin's "alliance of convenient bridges".
In his later years, he originally wanted to be idle at home and have a good pension, but he was forcibly pulled by Li Shimin to the Liaodong front to play a wave of soy sauce.
Although unlike Li Jing's type of "strategic planning commander-in-chief", although Wei Chi Jingde was more limited to Li Shimin's specific tactical system, this did not affect his "martial arts" in the slightest.
If you want to compare it with your battle achievements, Wei Chi Jingde can't catch up with Li Jing and others. If Wei Chi Jingde is thrown under Li Jing, who is good at fighting "immortal battles", perhaps he will not be able to fully unleash his potential. But fortunately, when he met Li Shimin, he became an irreplaceable being.
At the right time, meet the right person, and since then nine deaths have no regrets.
Legends, by no means, are accidental.
