In ancient times, the emperor, as the profession of the Ninety-Five, was supreme, and he generally did not go to the battlefield to kill without special circumstances. Of course, there are also some emperors whose personal strength is off the charts and whose military talents are outstanding, such as Tang Taizong and Song Taizu, who personally went into battle to lead troops to fight.
If there is one emperor in the lineup in a battle, it is nothing, can you imagine that there will be a spectacle of five emperors in a battle?
You might say that there will be five emperors in one battle, how is this possible?
It's true! There really are such spectacle events in ancient and modern times!
Moreover, these five were still on the same side at that time.
Listen to me
It was during the period of five dynasties and ten kingdoms in the history of our country.
In 921 AD, in February of the first year of Later Liang Longde, Zhu Youzhen, the late emperor of Later Liang Liang, was ruling in the Central Plains at this time, and his opponent was none other than Li Cunxuan, the king of Jin in Hedong. Li Cunqiao is a famous man in history, and among all the emperors during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, his personal strength value is absolutely ranked first. He is brave and good at fighting, military talent is very outstanding, at the age of eleven, followed his father Li Keyong to Chang'an to worship Tang Zhaozong Li Ye, Tang Zhaozong saw the 11-year-old Li Cunxuan, very surprised, and said "this son can be his father", so he got the name Li Yazi. Zhu Wen, a generation of heroes, fought with Li Cunqiao once before his death, and said with great emotion, "Giving birth to a son should be like Li Yazi, and he will not die!" To my child, guinea dog ears! Mr. Lu Simian, a famous historian in modern times, commented that "Zhuang Zong is a person, quite similar to Tang Taizong, and his use of troops is fierce, or excessive." It can be seen that the public has a high evaluation of Li Cunqing's military talent.
That year, since the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Jin and Liang wars for hegemony that lasted for nearly 30 years, the leaders of the two warring sides changed from Zhu Wen and Li Keyong to their respective sons, and the strength of the two sides had changed from Liang strong and weak to evenly matched, and the Yellow River confronted each other.
Today's bank of the Yellow River in Jiahe Township, Taiqian County, Puyang City, Henan Province.
Puyang, Henan, known as Desheng City in ancient times, is located on the north bank of the Yellow River and is one of the famous ferries on the bank of the Yellow River in ancient times. The battle of historical wonders of the five emperors will appear in the lineup, and it is here that it takes place.
Two years ago, in 919 A.D., Li Cunmiao ordered the construction of two city defenses in the south and north of the Yellow River in Desheng, for the construction of city defense at such an important ferry, the opponent Hou Liang army naturally did not agree, the two sides attacked and defended each other, and fought here for two whole years without winning or losing.
Zizhi Tongjian" records: Jin kings such as Weizhou, tens of thousands of disciples, Guangde won the northern city, the day and the Liang people competed, the size of more than 100 battles, each other won and lost.
Li Siyuan is the righteous son of Li Cunmiao's father Li Keyong, and he is also Li Cunmiao's brother-in-law.
Zhu Wen and Li Ke used the main adoptive father-son relationship chart of the feud.
Jin Liang fought at the ferry for two years, no one could help the other party, the war entered a period of suspension, Li Cunqiao planned to leave for a while, but the news was learned by Dai Siyuan, the general of the Later Liang, Dai Siyuan secretly prepared to capture the north and south of the Yellow River, and uprooted the north and south city defenses of Li Cunmiao's Desheng ferry in one fell swoop. Similarly, the news of his movements was also told to Li Cunqiao by the traitor, and Li Cunqiao decided to plan the plan. Ordered his brother Li Siyuan to lead troops to ambush in Qicheng, ordered Li Cunxian to ambush in Desheng City, and sent cavalry to lure the enemy, Xu defeated but not allowed to win, Li Cunqiao himself also led troops to ambush in the city. When Dai Siyuan led the Houliang army to Desheng City, Li Cunqiao gave an order, and the ambushed 3,000 cavalry iron cavalry killed the Houliang army crying and grabbing the ground, and the main general Dai Siyuan fled to Yang Village, and the rest of the soldiers were killed, trampled and fell into the Yellow River to break the ice, a total of more than 20,000 people died. The commander of the 3,000 cavalry iron cavalry ordered by Li Cunmiao to attack was his brother Li Siyuan. After a big victory, Li Siyuan was promoted to the deputy head of the inner and outer horse steps of the Fan Han Dynasty and the Tongping Zhangshi.
Zizhi Tongjian, Volume 271 records: In winter, October, Jiwei, the king of Jin ordered Li Siyuan to ambush troops in Qicheng, and Li Cunxian Tun Desheng first lured him with cavalry, and falsely showed cowardice. The Liang soldiers competed, and the Jin king Yan Zhongjun waited for them; Liang soldiers to, the king of Jin with three thousand iron cavalry to fight, Liang soldiers defeated, Siyuan went to Yang Village, soldiers were killed and injured by the Jin soldiers, fell into the river and fell into the ice, more than 20,000 people were lost. The king of Jin took Li Siyuan as the deputy head of the internal and external horse steps of the Fan Han Dynasty and the Tongping Zhangshi.
In the battle, Li Siyuan's righteous son Li Congke was also in Li Cunqing's army, in the melee, he fought the banner of the Later Liang Army, killed the Liang army camp, cut down the tall enemy building in the camp for overlooking the military situation with an axe, and returned with the enemy's head.
The History of the Old Five Dynasties: Zhuang Zongji III records: Shi Li Congke pretended to be Liang Zhi, ran into Liang Lei, axed his tower, and returned with a rank.
Li Siyuan's son-in-law Shi Jingjiao was also in the army at that time, you must know that Shi Jingjiao has always been Li Siyuan's cavalry general, and Shi Jingjian's command, there is also a school named Liu Zhiyuan, during the confrontation between the two sides in the past two years, Shi Jingjiao was in distress in a battle, and Liu Zhiyuan changed his horse to Shi Jingjian, and he himself rode Shi Jingjiao's horse, walked slowly, and covered Shi Jingjian's retreat. Liang Jun suspected an ambush and did not dare to chase it. In this way, both of them escaped, and Shi Jingjiao has been very fond of Liu Zhiyuan since then.
Zizhi Tongjian, Volume 271 records: Liu Zhiyuan, who crossed the soldiers and horses, gave him the horse he rode, and Xu Xing, the one who broke the armor, was in the palace; The Liang people are suspicious of ambush, and they dare not chase them, but they are all exempted, and they respect them as dear.
In this battle in which the 3,000 cavalry iron cavalry killed more than 20,000 people of the Liang army, Liu Zhiyuan and Shi Jingjiao were also among the 3,000 cavalry iron cavalry!
That is to say, in this battle, the commander Li Cunqiao, Li Cunxuan's brother-in-law Li Siyuan, Li Siyuan's righteous son Li Congke, Li Siyuan's son-in-law Shi Jingjiao, and Shi Jingjian's subordinate Liu Zhiyuan, the five of them fought side by side in the lineup at the same time. And these five people will correspond to each other in the future, Li Cunqiao of Zhuangzong of the Later Tang Dynasty, Li Siyuan of Mingzong of the Later Tang Dynasty, Li Congke, the Emperor of the Later Tang Dynasty, Shi Jingjiao, the Gaozu of the Later Jin Dynasty, and Liu Zhiyuan, the Gaozu of the Later Han Dynasty.
Five emperors of five dynasties and ten kingdoms appear in a battle at the same time, and they are in the same camp!
Zhao Yi of the Qing Dynasty described in the "Twenty-two Historical Notes":
When Tang Zhuangzong was the king of Jin, he was separated from the Liang army on the river and hung for ten years.
When Li Siyuan was a general, Zhuang Zong sought to take Yunzhou with him, and Siyuan asked him to take it alone, but to take Yun with 5,000 horses. The Liang army broke through the south gate of Desheng, Zhuang Zong rescued the army, and Si Yuan was the vanguard and broke the Liang army. Shi Mingzong was also in the army.
Hei Yuanzi Congke, taste from the battle on the river, repeatedly made military exploits, Zhuang Zong called his small characters and said: "Ah San is not only the same year as me, but also like me." "In the battle of Desheng, Congke rode the Liang army with more than a dozen horses, rushed into the Liang base, axed its overlook, and the source rode three thousand times with iron, and the Liang army was defeated. In the battle of Huliu, Tushan was captured from Zhuangzong, and the army recovered. Emperor Shi was also in the army.
At that time, Shi Jingjiao, the son-in-law of Siyuan, was often under the account of Siyuan, and the army was shot on the left. Liang general Liu Cheng rushed to attack Qingping, Zhuang Zong galloped to the rescue, surrounded by Zhuang, Jing Jiao galloped with more than a dozen horses, Zhuang Zong pulled his back and strengthened. defeated the Liang general Dai Si far from Deshengdu from Zhuangzong, and retreated from the battle of Hu Lutao, shouldering the heirs; From the village of Zhanyang, the siege of the source of the heir was relieved; From the horse, he broke into the east gate with fifty horsemen. Shi Jinzu was also in the army.
And Liu Zhiyuan was Jing Jiao when he was in school, and when Desheng was on the grid, Jing Jiao was installed by Liang people, the vest was broken, and Zhiyuan dropped out to ride to give it, and returned from the palace of the person who crossed the armor. Shi Hanzu was also in the army.
When Tang Zhuangzong, Mingzong, Emperor Abolished, Jin Gaozu, and Han Gaozu were all in the line, there were five emperors in an army, which was unprecedented in ancient times.
This battle is also called by later generations, the five dragons are victorious, which can be called a unique military wonder.
The period of five dynasties and ten kingdoms is a famous troubled era in Chinese history, from the fall of the Tang Dynasty in 907 AD to the establishment of the Great Song Dynasty by Zhao Kuangyin in 960 AD, there is a short period of 54 years in between, which is the period of five dynasties and ten kingdoms.
Situation map of the early period of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.
In that kind of troubled times, the various jiedu envoys who divided the feudal towns can be called the emperor of the soil, and the military generals were the most popular professions at that time, once the jiedu envoys had soldiers and food in their hands, they attacked each other at every turn, and if they won it, they had the possibility of killing into Bianliang (now Kaifeng City, Henan Province) to change the dynasty and sit on the dragon chair as the emperor.
It is no wonder that An Chongrong, the envoy of the German Army, said a famous sentence that has been passed down to this day"Son of Heaven, those who are strong and strong should do it, and they would rather have a kind of yes! "
The first 赑屃 [ bì xì ] 赑屃 is a fictitious animal, legend has it that the dragon has nine sons, 赑屃 is one of them, also known as Baxia, shaped like a turtle, good load, so people carve it to carry the stone tablet. This is the remnant of the stele, and the length of the stele, 84 meters, residual width 32 meters, 2 meters high6 meters, residual weight of 107 tons, unearthed in Zhengding, Hebei Province in 2000, is currently the largest unearthed stele in the country, sensational throughout the country. According to legend, the owner of this monument is the Chengde Army, who made An Chongrong.
In this short period of 54 years of turmoil, there were five dynasties that occupied the Central Plains like Liang, Tang, Jin, Han, and 14 emperors who took turns to sit in the village. It is precisely because the life span of each dynasty is not long, and there are too many emperors who take turns to sit in the village, that there will be the possibility that several emperors have worked together, so that there is an unexpected historical wonder event such as "Five Dragons Trouble Desheng".

Born in such troubled times, the most bitter people are ordinary people.
