Li You's Tang Dynasty

Chapter 743 I Believe In You
Xue Wanche cried very miserably, but it is nothing for a man to cry, after all, men don't flick their tears lightly, but they don't reach the point of sadness, but this Xue Wanche is not just a man.

This Xue Wanche should be regarded as a fierce general in the world.

Xue Wanche was born in the Xue family in Hedong, and their family is a military family.Xue Wanche's father, Xue Shixiong, was the prefect of the Sui Dynasty and guarded Zhuojun.Xue Wanche and his elder brother Xue Wanjun guarded Zhuojun with their father.Xue Wanche and Xue Wanjun were later valued by Luo Yi and became fierce generals in Youzhou.When Dou Jiande attacked Youzhou, he was defeated twice by the Xue family brothers.

The Xue Wanche brothers' record against Dou Jiande earned them a good reputation.When the Xue family brothers defected to Li Yuan, they were reused by Li Yuan by virtue of their experience in beating Dou Jiande.Li Yuan asked Xue Wanche and Xue Wanjun to serve under Chai Shao's command and participate in the war against Liang Shidu.Master Liang was supported by the Turks as the "Emperor of Discipline". If Master Liang was beaten, the Turks would definitely support him.

Xue Wanche and Xue Wanjun led a hundred cavalry each, and encountered Turkic cavalry in Qinghai.The Xue family brothers launched a fierce attack on the Turkic cavalry with few enemies.This fierce battle made the Xue family brothers famous in the land of Zhongxia.The Xue family brothers defeated the Turkic army with two hundred cavalry.After this fierce battle, the official history "New Tang Book" commented on the Xue family brothers as "bravely defeating the three armies".

The bravery of the Xue brothers made both Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng salivate.Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin launched a battle for talents. Li Yuan saw his two sons fighting back and forth, so he played a balancing act.Li Yuan asked his elder brother Xue Wanjun to follow Li Shimin, and his younger brother Xue Wanche to follow Li Jiancheng.After Xue Wanche came to Li Shimin's command, he became Li Jiancheng's most powerful general, bar none.

During the Xuanwumen Incident, Xue Wanche first led his troops to kill Jing Junhong and Lu Shiheng, and he had the reputation of "bravely defeating the three armies".Yuchi Jingde weighed the pros and cons, and felt that he might not be sure of winning the battle, so he chose not to fight behind closed doors.Although Xue Wanche was brave, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji were dead, and he was powerless.

After Li Shimin won the victory, he showed the spirit of a king with a big belly.Instead of embarrassing Xue Wanche, Li Shimin sent people to invite Xue Wanche several times.Xue Wanche was moved by Li Shimin and decided to follow Li Shimin wholeheartedly.After Li Shimin subdued Xue Wanche, he got rich rewards.

Li Shimin ordered Li Ji to attack Xue Yantuo, and Xue Wanche joined the battle as his deputy.In this battle, Xue Wanche once again demonstrated his attributes as a fierce general.Xue Wanche led hundreds of cavalry and circled behind the enemy's position.Xue Wanche took the lead and led his subordinates to launch a fierce attack.Xue Yantuo's iron cavalry could not stop Xue Wanche, and was beaten into chaos.Xue Wanche led his troops to behead [-] ranks and captured [-] horses, achieving a great victory. (This matter is coded in the "New Book of Tang": "Deputy Li Ji attacked Xue Yantuo, fought with the captives in Qinan, led hundreds of cavalry as the vanguard, and surrounded the rear of the formation. Seeing this, the captives were defeated, beheaded [-] ranks, and won Ma Wan Five thousand.")
When Li Shimin attacked Goryeo, Yuchi Jingde took the initiative to ask Ying to take command of the battle.Li Shimin felt that Yuchi Jingde was getting old, so he asked him to serve as the captain of the military band (Tai Changqing) and concurrently as the commander of the troops along the way.Yuchi Jingde did not perform any meritorious service in the war against Goryeo, but went to make soy sauce once.

Xue Wanche, who was about the same age as Yuchi Jingde, also participated in the war against Goryeo, and was entrusted with important tasks by Li Shimin.Xue Wanche was appointed as the general manager of the Qingqiu Road March, leading 3 troops to crusade against Goryeo.Xue Wanche's troops fought two major victories, first defeating more than 1 troops in Korea.More than 3 reinforcements from Goryeo were defeated.

Li Shimin once commented: "Li Ji, Li Daozong, and Xue Wanche are famous generals in the world. Li Ji and Li Daozong are mature and prudent, and they will neither win nor lose in battle. Xue Wanche is extremely brave, and he does not consider the consequences of doing things. He either wins or loses in battle. defeat.

Xue Wanche did not consider the consequences, and ended up becoming a loser in life.Xue Wanche was once a winner in life, he married Princess Danyang of the Tang Dynasty as his wife.It's a pity that Xue Wanche is fierce and has offended too many people.People who reported Xue Wanche to Li Shimin came one after another.Li Shimin cherished Xue Wanche's bravery, burned the memorial of Xue Wanche's denunciation, and then persuaded Xue Wanche to change his past.

Xue Wanche's temper is too hard and he just can't change it.Li Ji said to Li Shimin: "Wan Che is a great general, and he is close to his master's son-in-law, but he has an injustice in his heart, and he deserves to be punished."

Li Shimin had no choice but to issue an imperial edict to remove Xue Wanche from his official position.

Xue Wanche did hold a grudge against the Tang court, but Xue Wanche did not hold a grudge against the Tang emperor. Xue Wanche was able to return to Chang'an because of Li Zhi's ascension to the throne, so Xue Wanche was also very grateful to Li Zhi.

As for the bastard things he said, they were basically said in the past, and they were not said when Li Zhi was in power. Changsun Wuji just wanted to pull him down, consolidate his rights, and arrest him When it came to Xue Wanche's braid, it was cut off directly.

In fact, Xue Wanche was really wronged, so no matter how much you tortured him in prison, he didn't say a word, and when he finally died, there was no evidence to prove that Xue Wanche wanted to rebel.

In fact, how did Xue Wanche rebel? He just came back from amnesty. He has no military power. The people Changsun Wuji wants to kill basically have no ability to resist, but Changsun Wuji is worried that these people will be reused by Li Zhi , because these people are people who are inextricably linked to the Tang Dynasty royal family, and these people have their own abilities.

So Changsun Wuji was afraid that they would help Li Zhi divide his forces, so it would be best to kill them all. Many people said that these people were also what Li Zhi wanted to kill, because these people threatened Li Zhi's regime. .

This is nonsense, these people really have no rights at all, Fang Yiai, Xue Wanche, Li Yuanjing, what should I say, they have no military power, official positions, they are just a bunch of small people, as long as Li Zhi doesn't use them, they will be Can't get over the waves.

Who is afraid of them? It is Changsun Wuji. Changsun Wuji is very afraid that they will join Li Zhi. As I said just now, these people have their own abilities. They are good at leading troops and entering politics. There is a relationship between family and a person who can become Li Zhi if he is not careful, so Changsun Wuji will recklessly eliminate him.

Xue Wanche was really wronged, the cry rang directly in the hall, a fierce general in the world cried so sadly, it really made many people feel sour, Li Zhi sat on the dragon chair, He also said again and again: "General Xue, don't cry, don't cry, I believe in you, I really believe in you!"

And I believe you said these four words, Xue Wanche on the one side cried even more sadly, Li You looked at Changsun Wuji on the other side and shook his head slightly.
