"The insects of the hundreds of feet are dead without stiffness." Some of the ancient dynasties applied in this sentence are very appropriate.It was just established the Eastern Han Dynasty.For example, after the Song Dynasty, the royal family continued for many years after the "change of Jingkang".
In addition to Han and Song, there is actually a Tang. The early Tang Dynasty was very strong, and within the world at the time, no country could fight for it. However, such a dynasty, after experiencing a security chaos, began to go downhill quickly.
But it is better to live as good as dead, and it is also applicable to the dynasty. Although the Tang Dynasty had experienced civil strife and even the Beijing Division lost, the battle of Xiangji Temple continued the history of the Tang Dynasty for another 150 years. So what kind of war is the history of the life of the Tang Dynasty?In fact, it is very miserable.
The Rebellion of Anshi, Datang is dumped
In many dynasties, the start of the Tang Dynasty was very smooth.In the past, the Sui Dynasty had almost unified the entire river and mountains, and there were generals such as Li Shimin and Qin Qiong behind. Therefore, the Tang Dynasty entered the peak era from the beginning.Because of this, there is a clear difference between the Tang Dynasty and other dynasties. That is, the Tang Dynasty was an era of advocating martial arts. Although not everyone is still martial arts, the military strength is strong.
After Li Shimin, Li Zhi will expand the territory of Datang again, and then Wu Zetian, Li Longji and others have kept the Tang Dynastys glorious glorious.However, in the later period of Li Longjis rule, drastically changed the Tang Dynasty.In his later years, Tang Minghuang Li Longji indulged in beauty, thinking of political affairs, and adulterers such as Yang Guozhong, and the Tang Dynasty entered a chaotic rule.
But at this time, it was still Jinyu Qi, but in the invisible, the imperial power is constantly diluted, and the local power is getting stronger and strongerJohito Anlu Mountain, who was born, led his soldiers directly to rebel and became a person who overthrew the Tang Dynasty. In 755 AD, An Lushan led the army to enter Changan with a thunderbolt.
Tang Ming emperor Li Longji fled, and the prince Li Heng fled with other princes. But when he arrived at Ma Yipo, everyone realized that the destruction of Datang was because the emperor indulged in beauty, so he executed Yang Guozhong and forced Yang Guifei.Li Longji also passed this blow, and then abdicated becoming the emperor, the prince Li Heng ascended the throne as Tang Suzong.
Although Tang Suzong became the emperor, Datang was already full of sores at this time, and even the emperor could not be in Beijing. So He wanted to restore the glory of the Tang Dynasty, and wanted to kill Changan, so he began to gather forces. These troops are both Datang and other tribes and countries that are surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, such as Hui 纥, Tuhuo Luo Ye (that is, the Afghan Army), and Yu Yan.This battle was only successful and did not fail, so Tang Suzong gathered the Tang armys main force and the association, a total of 200,000 troops.
The battle of Xiangji Temple, the dynasty is resurrected
At this time, the Anshi anti -rebels were only about 100,000 people, so the Tang army was winningIn the rebels. In addition to these, another major event occurred within the rebels, that is, Leader An Lushan died.The person who killed him was not someone else, but his son An Qingxu, so Tang Jun also had "people" this time.
But even so, Tang Suzong still did not dare to take risks easily, because Tang Wangjun failed this time, and the climate of the Tang Dynasty was exhausted.Its over.So on the basis of people, he began to ponder the land.After many suggestions of the following people, the place where the war between the two sides was finally set in Xiangji Temple.
Xiangji Temple is complex. Even the rebels and many cavalry cannot be expanded, because the terrain here is narrow and the cavalry has little room to play. After many preparations, in 757 AD, Tang Suzong ordered Guangping Wang Liyu to lead the army. The others such as Guo Ziyi were the deputy generals.military.
At that time, the Tang army absorbed Anlu Mountains experience in attacking Changan and also came to it, so the rebels were caught off guard.But before becoming a rebel, the rebels were also the regular army of the Tang Dynasty, or the regular army of the sidelines, so their strength could not be underestimated, so the rebels quickly reacted and began to fight against the regular Tang army.
But the gap between the two parties is not large, their ability is equivalent, and the tactics are common. In terms of equipment, they are the same as the regular Tang army. Therefore, this war in Xiangji Temple became a consumption.Tang Jun completely lost Gao Xianzhi leading the Anxi Army, running for more than 7,000 miles, passed through the snow mountain grassland, and finally arrived at the battle of the Dross of Central Asia.Lost.
In the Xiangji Temple battle at this time, the Tang Jun of Tang Jun with two peak combat power was against, so he became a compilation team.In the next top, one corps of the rebels was destroyed. On the top of the other military regiment, the two sides fought a one -on -one meat battle.
This war lasted for a long time, just four hours a afternoon , but the four -hour war was very miserable.of.Because after the fight, there are 60,000 people who were killed on the battlefield, which means that there are 60,000 bodies. In addition to the ancient battlefield of the Warring States Period, except for the Tang Dynasty, generally speaking, a dynasty had 60,000 elite troops, even if it was very strong.Therefore, the scale of this war was definitely the pinnacle of the ancient war history.
In addition to the dead, there are about 20,000 captives. Of course, this war was ended with the victory of the Tang Dynastys regular army. The war ended in the afternoon and entered Changan at night.However, because the army and other army help, they need "benefits", that is, to plunder in Changan City. In fact, the Tang army at this time is also looting.
It can be seen that the quality of the Tang army during this period is already worrying.That is, from this time, this war has given the Tang Dynasty a life span of 150 years, but this life span belongs to the period when he has been being old and unable to restore prosperity.
Conclusion
"One will become a bone." Although the Tang Dynasty was an era of martial arts, there would be death in war, let aloneThe Hu Ren who was brave and fighting against each other. The Central Plains were in front of the brute force. One -to -one was suffering.Therefore, although the Tang people won the battle of Xiangji Temple, the history of the Tang Dynasty continued for 150 years.
After all, "death, the people suffer". Although the Tang Dynasty did not die, after this tragic war, the population, financial resources, and economy were hit hard.So that the time in the next 150 cannot be restored to the glory of the past, so the loss of this war is conceivable. War just continued the glory of the Lis royal family. For the people and others in the feudal era, disasters were disaster and had nothing to do with any glory.
