During the Sui and Tang dynasties of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, there was a reader named Ren Gui. Ren Zhen had been doing nothing all his life, watching the age of Hua Jia, but he had achieved nothing, and could only teach Li Jiancheng, the son of Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang.
When Ren Gui was in his sixties, he followed Li Yuan to raise an army in Taiyuan, and Yin and Yang mistakenly obtained the right to command the army. Although Ren Zhen has no martial arts, his command ability is super strong. He led his troops from Shanxi to today's Vietnamese region, never lost.
Ren Gui in the New Book of Tang is listed alongside Cheng Yaojin and Chai Shao. Because of his military merits, Ren Gui was crowned as the Duke of Guanguo by Tang Gaozu. If it weren't for Ren Zhen's former teacher who had been Li Jiancheng, with his military merits, he would definitely be able to enter the ranks of Ling Yan Pavilion's heroes.
Ren Zhen's merits in the New Book of Tang, in addition to military merits, also include the historical merits of recommending Liu Renlu. Liu Renji's family was poor when he was a child, but he studied hard, so his literary ability was outstanding. When Ren Zhen was in Henan, he wrote a letter to Li Yuan.
Liu Renji saw Ren Zhen's manuscript and felt that there were some inappropriate points, so he proposed to correct it. Ren Zhen saw Liu Renluo's revised manuscript and felt that Liu Renluo was a rare talent, so he recommended Liu Renluo to Tang Gaozu. Liu Renji received help from nobles, so he entered the career path.
Ren Zhen's recommendation of Liu Renluo was left by Ouyang Xiu in the New Book of Tang: "At the beginning of Wu Dechu, the Henan Province's appeasement ambassador Ren Zhishang had some arguments, and Ren Zhi saw his manuscript and said a few words for the sake of channeling. Astonished, Chi Mu joined the army. ”
Liu Ren rail was appreciated by Bole and when he entered his career, he was still a young man in his early twenties. Liu Renlu went through the three dynasties of Tang Gaozu, Tang Taizong, and Tang Gaozong, and from a white-faced scholar to an old Confucian who was poor in the first verse, and his career still did not have a big improvement.
In the fifth year of Xianqing, Liu Renji offended Li Yifu and was demoted to the title of Qingzhou Assassin. Emperor Gaozong of Tang attacked Goryeo, and Liu Ren oversaw the transportation of grain and grass. It was also Liu Ren who was unlucky and encountered a big wind and wave, and the ship overturned. Emperor Gaozong of Tang issued an edict stripping Liu Ren of all official titles and letting him "follow the army in white clothes."
Liu Renluo entered the army in his twenties, and seeing that he was close to the age of flower armor, he became a poor and white student, which can be said to be very unlucky. Liu Renluo had no choice but to serve in the army. The main general Wang Wendu knew that Liu Renluo had the ability, so he stayed in the Chinese army as a staff officer. Just when the war was tense, Wang Wendu suddenly fell ill and died.
Emperor Gaozong of Tang had no choice but to temporarily let Liu Renluo take over Wang Wendu's post. Although Liu Renji had never fought a war in his life, like his mentor Ren Zhen, he was an old Confucian who had read military books and battle strategies. Let Liu Renluo command the troops, he is really not afraid.
Liu Renluo was in the army and commanded the troops to fight several victorious battles. When the good news reached Chang'an, Emperor Gaozong of Tang revoked Liu Renlu's title of acting agent and made him the proper commander of the army.
The Tang army supported Silla in fighting Baekje, and Baekje asked the Uighur army to help in the battle. At that time, Japan, before it was severely beaten by China, wanted to compete with Datang for the position of hegemony in East Asia. The Uighur army sent a large number of soldiers and horses to help Baekje fight against the Tang. Emperor Gaozong of Tang, in line with the principle of being able to do something, did not beep, ordered the Tang army to fight a decisive battle with the Wei army.
Liu Renluo led 13,000 Tang generals and encountered 42,000 Wu troops in the waters of the Baijiang Estuary. The Tang army was thirteen thousand men on 170 warships. The Uighur army was more than forty thousand men on more than a thousand warships. It can be seen that the tonnage of the Tang Army's warships far exceeded that of the Warships of the Wei Army.
At that time, the national strength of the Tang Dynasty was as great as the sun, and the shipbuilding technology was far superior to that of the Uighurs. The small warships of the Wei army, facing the large warships of the Tang army. It's like being a kindergarten kid, fighting with high school students. It's like a small car, colliding with the front four and eight earthen cars. At that time, Japan challenged China, and the two sides were not a heavyweight opponent at all.
The Battle of Baijiangkou was fought by the Japanese first. At first, the Japanese engaged in tactics such as roundabout encirclement, and later engaged in the tactic of rushing to the group. The Japanese launched four successive charges, and all kinds of bells and whistles were used.
Although the Tang army was inferior in numbers, it was absolutely superior in strength. In the face of absolute power superiority, no tactics are useful. The four chargees of the Uighur army turned into head-sending activities. The Tang army won four battles and destroyed more than 400 Japanese warships.
This incident is from the New Book of Tang. The original text of the biography of Liu Ren is: "When encountering the Baijiangkou of the Wu people, the four battles were conquered, four hundred ships were burned, and the sea was Dan." ”
At the mouth of the Baijiang River, Japan was killed by the Tang army and killed a corpse mountain and a sea of blood. Corpse mountain blood sea here is not an adjective, or a literal meaning. Since then, Japan has become honest. The Japanese no longer dared to challenge China, but began to send a steady stream of students to China to learn culture and technology.
When Liu Renluo defeated the Wu army, he was 63 years old and 62 years old. After this battle, Emperor Gaozong of Tang began to reuse Liu Renluo. Liu Ren railed step by step, until he sat in the position of prime minister. Liu Renluo's final ending was to die at the age of 85. After Liu Ren's death, he was posthumously awarded the title of Kaifu Yi Tongsan Division.
Liu Renji's age is 2 years younger than Li Shimin. He survived the three dynasties of Tang Gaozu, Tang Taizong, and Tang Gaozong, and survived until the time of Wu Zetian. Wu Zetian wanted to reuse Liu Renluo, but Liu Renluo was reluctant to cooperate. Wu Zetian finished his good words before persuading Liu Renluo to continue to serve as prime minister.
In ancient times, going in and out was synonymous with a very human subject. When Liu Ren was nearly a flower armour, he became an unlucky student who was poor and white. After the age of 63, Liu Renluo served as a general in the army and served as the prime minister several times in the Gaozong and Zetian dynasties. The glory of the generals who entered the phase and the extremely popular subjects was the best praise for Liu Ren's killing of the Emperor.
Finally, off topic, let's talk about the fate of Liu Ren's mentor Ren Zhen. After the change of Xuanwumen, Li Jiancheng's teacher Ren Zhen was jealous of Li Shimin. Li Shimin gave Ren Zhen two beautiful women, and the ancient book "Yuan Gui of the Book" said: "All women are national colors."
Ren Zhen was already more than seventy years old, and he knew that the emperor had given him two beautiful women of heavenly fragrance just to let him die in the gentle countryside. Ren Zhen had no choice but to get drunk with two beautiful women every day.
An old man in his seventies, tired and crooked with beautiful women every day, must not be overwhelmed. It didn't take long for Ren Toy to die. After Ren Gui's death, Li Shimin gave him a high degree of mourning.
In my opinion: "Ren Zhen's method of death is the way countless heroes and good men dream of dying." Li Shimin's waiting for the throne can be described as not thin. ”
