Among the great unified dynasties in Chinese history, the weakest impression is that of the Two Song Dynasty Zhao Dynasty.
Indeed, the two Song Dynasties pursued the strategy of "using literature to control the armed forces" in the example of "adding yellow robes to the body", and their own birth was seriously born with a serious lack of inadequacy -- first of all, shi Jingtang, the famous "child emperor" of the five generations of Shi Jin, ceded Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures to the Khitans, so that the Northern Song court lacked the Yanshan Mountains as a barrier at the beginning of its establishment, from north to south, one horse Pingchuan, the whole country could always feel the threat of the Khitan cavalry blades. The court of the Southern Song Dynasty was even more shrunken in a corner of Jiangnan, living extremely depressed.
Therefore, the desire and call of the people of the two Song Dynasties for loyal and good generals was very urgent.
Commentaries such as "Yang Jiajian" and "Hu Jiajian" also came into being.
Strictly speaking, "Yang Jiajian" and "Hu Jiajian" all have historical shadows.
Among them, the leading figure of the Yang family general was Yang Linggong Yang Jiye, a famous general in the early Song Dynasty, and the ancestor of the Hu family general was Hu Yanzan, the founding father of the Northern Song Dynasty.
However, the heroic figures in the two commentaries, such as Yang Liulang, Yang Zongbao, Mu Guiying, Yang Wenguang, Hu Yanpixian, Hu Yanqing, and so on, combine fiction and reality, making people unable to distinguish between true and false.
Even "Water Margin", one of the four classical masterpieces, also talks about the descendants of these two major families, shaping the descendants of Yang Zhi and Hu Yanzhuo, the descendants of Yang Jiajian, telling the story of them taking the curved route, rebelling on Liangshan, and seeking to accept Zhao'an to complete the dream of Fengyin's wife.
The ending of the story is very sad, after these two people accepted the recruitment, they were sent to the battlefield of the Liao State and the Conquest of Fangla together with the other good men of Liangshan...
In a word, "Water Margin" Song Jiang's route of Zhao'an was a failure.
Here, to tell a real story of an experience that is somewhat similar to Yang Zhi, but in the end, the merit is complete.
Similar to the "Yang Family General", "Hu Jia General" and other commentaries, the Tang Dynasty also had a family of generals, the Xue family general.
Regarding the portrayal of the group of "Xue Jia generals", the "Speaking Tang Series" includes "Xue Rengui Zhengdong", "Xue Dingshan Zhengxi", "Fan Lihua Hanging Commander", "Xue Gang Anti-Tang" and so on.
To tell the truth, the real "Xue Family General" in history can be compared with the "Yang Family General" and "Hu Family General" bull fork.
The representative figure of the "Xue family general" is of course Xue Rengui, but Xue Rengui is not a generation without a history, he is a descendant of The Liu Song and The Famous Northern Wei general Xue Andu during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and his great-grandfather Xue Rong, his grandfather Xue Yan, and his father Xue Lu all served as officials in the Northern Wei, Northern Zhou, and Sui Dynasties.
Xue Rengui's representative works on the battlefield of conquest include: defeating the nine surnames of Tiele, surrendering Togoryeo, breaking through the Turks, leaving behind such popular stories as "good strategy and good strategy", "three arrows fixing the Tianshan Mountains", "divine courage to collect Liaodong", "Renzheng Goryeo Kingdom", "Love the people Xiangzhou City", "take off the hat and retreat from all enemies", etc., and it is not too much to call them world-famous generals.
What is rare is that Xue Rengui's son is also an extraordinary generation, especially the eldest son Xue Ne, who once served as the Taishou of Youzhou and fought against the Turks for a long time. Later, he led the army to break the Tubo and snowed the shame of his father's Great Non Chuan.
The history books evaluate Xue Ne as "sexually calm and courageous, and his use of troops is strong in the face of great enemies."
It should be said that Xue Ne is the character prototype of "Xue Ding Shan" in "Xue Ding Shan Zheng Xi".
Here, the focus is on Xue Rengui's fifth son, Xue Chuyu.
Xue Chuyu was originally a well-known envoy of Fan Yang and Pinglu Jiedu, but he was framed and dismissed for "dereliction of duty".
After Xue Chuyu was dismissed, he was succeeded by Zhang Shoujue (張守珪) who later adopted an adopted son named An Lushan (安禄山).
Speaking back to Xue Chuyu, Xue Chuyu had two sons, the eldest son Xue Song and the second son Xue Fu.
Xue Song was a Yang Zhi-style figure, that is, what Jin Shengsi called "the son of the old family", "with strength, good at riding and shooting, not knowing books", unwilling to engage in production, and preferring to bow in his life.
Seeing that his father was dismissed from his post and the family was in decline, Xue Song was very unwilling, and he thought of reorganizing the ancestral business and revitalizing the Xue family's heroic style.
However, at this time, Emperor Ming of Tang ming was with Yang Guifei all day long, the government had been controlled by Yang Guozhong, and Xue Song "did not know the book", except for the ability to cut people with bows and knives, there was nothing, how could the family turn over?
In 755, An Lushan rebelled at Fanyang.
In the same way as the famous tyrant Huan Wen in history, who "can't flow through the ages, it will stink for eternity", Xue Song joined the rebellion torrent, and with his innate slashing and fierceness, he was exceptionally brilliant in the rebel army, and was soon promoted to xiangzhou assassin history and became a feudal official.
However, with the emergence of Famous Generals such as Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi, Qiankun reversed, the situation was pulled back little by little, and the balance of victory tilted in favor of the imperial court.
In this case, Xue Song accepted it when he saw it was good, raised his troops anyway, and surrendered to the imperial court.
As a result, Xue Song transformed himself into shangshu of the imperial court's inspection and punishment department, and was made an envoy of the prefectures of Xiang, Wei, Huan, and Xing.
After the end of the Anshi Rebellion, Xue Song was grateful for the kindness of the imperial court, and was cautious in his duties, and in the early years of the calendar, he was crowned the King of Gaoping Commandery and the Right Servant of the Inspector Shangshu, and the official title far exceeded his father and ancestor, and the portrait was enshrined in the Ling Yan Pavilion.
Obviously, the story of "Xue Gang Against Tang" was born out of Xue Song's experience.
What is particularly noteworthy is that after Xue Song's death, his son Xue Ping successively served as the envoy of the Pinglu Army and the envoy of the Hezhong Festival, and when he went out, he went into the phase, and he died of illness at the age of eighty.
Xue Ping's son Xue Cong, also served as the right leading general of wei and commanded the forbidden army of the imperial court.
It can be said that the Tang Dynasty was the most tolerant dynasty in ancient Chinese history to treat people with the stain of rebellion, and the Xue Song clan was not exterminated because they had participated in the rebellion, but flourished and were full of joy.
The demise of the Tang Dynasty is not unrelated to this tolerant approach.
Zhu Wen, the late Tang emperor who usurped Tang and destroyed Li, originally followed Huang Chao in rebellion, changed his banner on the eve of Huang Chao's defeat, surrendered to Li Tang, and had similar treatment to Xue Song, but he refused to be like Xue Song to thank the court for his kindness and righteousness, and was cautious in his duties, but instead intensified his efforts, rebelled against Tang, rebelled against Tang, and usurped Tang, established Hou Liang, and pushed the wheel of history into the turbulent period of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.
