The Tang Dynasty was an era of advocating force, and there were many outstanding generals, such as Li Jing, Li Shiji, Li Daozong, Hou Junji, Su Dingfang, Xue Rengui, Guo Ziyi, etc., who left dazzling achievements in history.
However, the atmosphere of advocating force is not limited to these famous generals, and ordinary small characters also have a deep passion for making contributions and serving the country, but they lack opportunities.
If there is a chance to play, these small characters are not necessarily worse than the famous generals. In that era of famous generals, Wang Xuance was just a small staff member of the East Palace, with a seventh-grade rank. In the Tang Dynasty, only official positions above the fifth rank were considered official, and the life of a petty official was not easy.
However, Wang Xuance's usual copywriting work makes it difficult to associate him with the heavy task of commanding thousands of troops, but he created an incredible myth and destroyed the Zhongtianzhu Kingdom.
Corpse Loydo is the king of the Zhongtianzhu Kingdom, he is in the land of four wars, but he has managed to defeat the other neighbors, claiming to be the boss.
When it comes to the interaction between the Zhongtianzhu Kingdom and the Tang Dynasty, one person has to be mentioned, that is, Master Xuanzang. He is known as the "first person to learn from the scriptures", and is portrayed in "Journey to the West" as a hero who led three ** through hardships and dangers and finally succeeded in obtaining the true scriptures.
However, this is not the case with real history. Xuanzang did not have official permission, but smuggled out of the Tang Dynasty in the ranks of refugees and went to Zhongtianzhu Kingdom. Despite this, his adventure and perseverance made him a key figure in establishing ties between the Zhongtianzhu Kingdom and the Tang Dynasty.
In the fifteenth year of Zhenguan, Luo Yiduo sent an envoy to Chang'an, hoping to meet Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and ask for tribute. Li Shimin extended a warm welcome to this humble envoy and, in order to show the sincerity of the Tang Dynasty, sent a delegation to Zhongtianzhu for a friendly visit.
The head of the mission was Li Yibiao, and Wang Xuance, as his deputy, did not have many opportunities to speak. When he heard that the Tang Dynasty had sent an envoy, he was very happy and personally went out of the city to greet him and put on a feast to show his hospitality.
Eventually, a friendly relationship was established.
Li Shimin missed the Zhongtianzhu Kingdom, and in the 22nd year of Zhenguan, he decided to send an embassy to visit again. Wang Xuance finally became the head of the regiment, however, the corpse Luo Yiduo has died, and the new king Alonashun is a stunned young man who came to power in a coup d'état, and Wang Xuance does not know anything about it, and still carries the memories of a friendly visit.
However, the new king was hostile to the Tang Dynasty and was ready to take advantage of the Tang Dynasty's mission to attack.
Alonashun's ambush caused heavy losses to the mission led by Wang Xuance, and even he himself was captured and imprisoned. This left the face of the diplomat of the great power with nowhere to put it, and he decided to escape from prison and look for an opportunity for revenge.
Fortunately, the jailer was a "mallet", and Wang Xuance successfully escaped from prison at night. He should have returned to China immediately to avoid danger, but his stubborn personality made him decide to regain the face he had lost.
In order to save India, Wang Xuance's plan to return to China to rescue troops failed. But instead of giving up, he came up with the idea of borrowing troops. He first went to Nepal, met the king, and moved out of the Tang Dynasty's son-in-law, the name of Songtsen Gampo.
Impressed by his reasoning, the king of Nepal lent him 7,000 cavalry, and then he raised more than 2,000 cavalry in the vicinity, and Songtsen Gampo sent more than 1,000 cavalry to help.
In the end, he gathered more than 10,000 people and successfully set off to save India.
How to face the dilemma? Wang Xuance once used the strategy of "fighting against the water". He placed the battle array on the river, which confused the multinational forces that followed him, and if he couldn't defeat it, wouldn't he jump into the river and pretend to be the king?
But Wang Xuance is trying to create this effect. The soldiers were cut off from retreat and had to rush to kill. After three days of fierce fighting, the army of the Zhongtianzhu Kingdom collapsed first.
This round, we finally got through the difficulties.
In the fierce battle, Wang Xuance used the fire bull formation of Tian Dan, a famous general of Qi during the Warring States Period. Although Alona Shun held the trump card of the war elephant army in his hand, Wang Xuance was not afraid.
He ordered the soldiers to go out and grab cattle, and everyone was puzzled, why did they still want to eat beef at this time? However, India had abundant cattle resources, and hundreds of cattle were soon found.
Wang Xuance soaked the ox's tail in sesame oil and prepared to fight. The two sides lined up, and the battle elephant phalanx of Alonashun rushed over with a landslide-like momentum. However, Wang Xuance's motley troops were so frightened that their legs trembled.
At this moment, hundreds of cattle suddenly and frantically rushed towards the enemy's war elephants. Some people will ask, do these cows have mad cow disease? That's right, the tails of the cows are all on fire, how can they not go crazy?
Wang Xuance's army used the power of elephants to trample the soldiers of Zhongtianzhu into meat sauce, causing Zhongtianzhu to be defeated, and Alona Shun had no choice but to flee back to the capital. Wang Xuance pursued closely, ordered people to make engineering equipment, and soon captured the capital.
Alonashun had no choice but to lead the remnants of the army to break through and escape, but unfortunately fell into the encirclement of Wang Xuance. In the end, Alonashun was forced to dismount and surrender, while Wang Xuance brutally killed his entourage.
Wang Xuance escorted Alonashun all the way to a hard time, and finally returned to Chang'an City. With his excellent speech skills, he described the whole incident vividly, which made Li Shimin's blood boil.
Li Shimin exclaimed, it turns out that the East Palace Hidden Dragon Crouching Tiger, a small seven-rank sesame official is such a powerful character, it's great, promoted! This tells us that the size of the official position does not matter, as long as you are talented, you will shine sooner or later, and Wang Xuance is a good example.
