At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the world was in chaos, the flock of heroes was chasing deer, and Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang, also raised an army in Taiyuan, and at that time, Li Yuan's side could fight, in addition to Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin's brothers, there were li Yuan's cousins Li Xiaogong, Li Xiaogong and Li Shimin were cousins, Li Xiaogong's grandfather Li Wei was Li Hu's seventh son, Li Shimin's grandfather Li Fu was the third son, Li Hu's eldest and older brothers died in world war II, and the title of Duke of Tang was inherited by Li Fu.
After Li Yuan raised an army in Taiyuan and captured Chang'an, he ordered his nephew Li Xiaogong to be the ambassador of Shannan, responsible for pacifying the Bashu region, and Li Xiaogong did not live up to Li Yuan's expectations of him, and without much effort, he pacified more than thirty states in Bashu and captured the man-eating demon Zhu Xuan alive.
At that time, his subordinates all advised Li Xiaogong to kill Zhu Xuan, But Li Xiaogong did not agree, and the soldiers paid attention to the siege of the city as the lower and the attack on the heart as the highest, Li Xiaogong felt that if Zhu Xuan was killed, those who wanted to surrender would have concerns, and if they let others know that people like Zhu Xuan could be pardoned, the others would surrender without a fight.
Pacifying Bashu and defeating Zhu Xuan was only one of Li Xiaogong's merits, and what really made him a meritorious contribution was his unification of the southern region, some people said that Li Shimin was Li Shimin in the north, Li Xiaogong in the south, and even Li Jing, the god of war, and Xu Maogong (Li Ji) were all under his command.
At that time, li yuan faced two major enemies, Xiao Milling in the south and Wang Shichong in Luoyang, it was not good to beat anyone, and if he beat Wang Shichong, he was afraid that Xiao Milling would come to pick peaches, and Xiao Milling was afraid of Wang Shichong picking peaches.
Li Shimin took Li Ji to attack Wang Shichong, Li Xiaogong took Li Jing to attack Xiao Milling in Jiangnan, the Tang army and Xiao Milling's fleet fought in the middle of the river, after Li Xiaogong defeated Xiao Milling, the Tang army gained many warships, but Li Xiaogong did not directly take these warships for use by the Tang army, but abandoned these ships in the river and went down the river.
All the generals did not understand his approach, Li Xiaogong said, Xiao Milling's territory, south to lingbiao, east to Dongting, the terrain is dangerous to many soldiers, now Xiao Milling along the river town guards a large number of soldiers, if our army did not capture the city, and Xiao Milling's reinforcements arrived, then our army will be trapped in internal and external difficulties, although there are many boats and ships, what is the use, now Xiao Milling has been defeated, will not immediately enter the army, he will go back and forth to inquire about the situation, so that he can delay his rescue of troops, so that it will be conducive to our army to successfully capture Jiangling, soon Xiao Milling rescue troops arrived in Baling, see empty ships, Sure enough, he hesitated.
After Li Xiaogong besieged Xiao Milling, Xiao Qiao knew that he was powerless to return to heaven, so he surrendered to Li Xiaogong and asked Li Xiaogong to promise him to kill only one person, not the entire city's military and civilian population, Li Xiaogong escorted Xiao Milling back to Chang'an, and Li Xiaogong's benevolence and righteousness had a high prestige in the south.
Some people say that Li Xiaogong was taken by Li Jing, a teammate of the gods, and Li Jing's military ability is not said, Li Xiaogong is the main commander, Li Jing is his staff officer, in fact, Li Jing exercises the power of the commander of the whole army, Li Xiaogong is the nominal commander, if Li Xiaogong is an incompetent person, no matter how godly Li Jing is, he will not be able to defeat Xiao Qiao.
Fu Gongyou rebelled, Li Xiaogong once again sent troops to attack Fu Gongyou, there were Li Jing, Li Ji and others under his command, when the army was about to set out, When Li Xiaogong and the various armies were drinking Zhuangxing wine, suddenly, the wine in the cup appeared blood-colored, and all the generals present were shocked.
Li Xiaogong behaved freely, calmly and unhurriedly, there is no way to do misfortune, but the people have recruited, I have not done anything wrong, you do not have to worry so much about me, the auxiliary prince is full of evil, and now relying on the imperial court WeiLing to ask for the guilt, the blood in the cup is only a sign of the thief's head, so he drank the blood in the cup, and the generals were at ease
Fu Gongyou sent the general Feng Huiliang to challenge Li Xiaogong, but Li Xiaogong could not hold out and sent strange troops to cut off the enemy's grain route. He also deliberately sent the old, weak, sick and disabled to provoke Feng Huiliang, ordered Lu Zushang to send elite cavalry to ambush, Feng Huiliang was in a big plan, and retreated to Liangshan in a big defeat, and Li Xiaogong led the main force to seize the opportunity to capture Fu Gongyou's territory. Fu Gongyou escapes and is captured by Li Xiaogong.
Pingding Xiao Milling and Fu Gongyou both embodied Li Xiaogong's style of a great general, ranking second among the twenty-four heroes of Ling Yan Pavilion, not just because of the relationship between the imperial family.
After Li Xiaogong pacified Jiangnan, he served as the governor of Yangzhou, in fact, he was already the most powerful person in the whole of Jiangnan, and he also had military power in his hands, and soon someone framed him for rebellion, so Li Yuan transferred him out of Jiangnan and successively served as the governor of Liangzhou and the assassin of Jinzhou.
In fact, even if he was his own nephew, Li Yuan was also worried, because Li Xiaogong's reputation in the south was too high, Li Xiaogong was only in his thirties when he was dismissed from the military power, and he also understood the heart of his uncle Li Yuan, so the later national war basically lost his figure, simply became a prince of peace, built a big house, found more than a hundred beautiful women, and reveled night and night.
At the time of the change of Xuanwu Gate, he did not appear, with his wisdom, no matter how your brothers and brothers fight, I do not participate, the throne will not change, and at that time Li Jiancheng Li Shimin brothers did not dare to win him over, in case he raised his arms in the south, it would be three brothers fighting for the country.
More than a hundred beautiful women accompanied them every day, probably playing too much, and they died violently.
