Li Keyong (65438+8561October 24-February 24, 908), the father of Li in Tang Dynasty, whose real name was Zhu Xie (also known as Zhu Xie), was given to Li by Tang Gaozong. The character is brave and impatient. General at the end of Tang Dynasty. Shatuo people. Shatuo people, alias Yaer, Saburo, Cyclops and Flying Tiger, were born in Sichuan New Town, SHEN WOO (Yanmen North, Shaanxi). He was one of the most powerful provincial envoys in China at the end of the Tang Dynasty, and was later named King of Jin by the Tang Dynasty. After the establishment of the later Tang Dynasty, it was honored as the Taizu Wu of the later Tang Dynasty.
His father, Zhu Xiechi, was named Li Guo Chang by Tang Yizong. In his early years, Li Keyong sent troops with his father to suppress the Pang Xun uprising, and often took the lead. The army called him "Flying Tiger". Successively suppressed the Pang Xun Uprising Army and the Huang Chao Uprising Army. God bless four years (907), Zhu Wen proclaimed himself emperor on behalf of the Tang Dynasty, with the title of Liang, and the Yuan Dynasty changed its name to Kaiping, which is known in history. Li Keyong still used the title of "God Blessed" in the Tang Dynasty to contend with the Back Beam in the name of reviving the Tang Dynasty. The following year (908), Li Keyong died of illness.
The life of the character
Become famous at a young age
Li Keyong is the third son of Li, the ancestor of the later Tang Dynasty. Mom Qin. Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty was born in SHEN WOO (now Yanbei, Shaanxi) in Sichuan New Town on September 22nd, the 10th year (856).
When Li Keyong was thirteen years old (869), he saw two wild ducks flying in the air, and both arrows were shot out, which impressed everyone present.
Li Keyong was brave when he was young, and the army called him "Liar". When Li Keyong was fifteen, Li crusaded against Pang Xun. He joined the army in front of all the generals. The army regarded him as a "flying tiger". After pacifying Pang Xun, our ancestors were appointed as special envoys of our army, and Li Keyong was appointed as General Yunzhongya.
Once, I competed with the Daban tribe. Daban pointed to two sculptures in the air and said, "Can you shoot them down with one arrow?" Li Keyong immediately bent his bow and shot an arrow, killing two birds with one stone, and everyone around him worshipped him as his teacher.
Take the first step against the Tang Dynasty
The Shatuo tribe has always been strong, but Li's self-reliance is even more arrogant. Tang Yizong is very worried about this. In the 13th year of Xian Tong (872), he was transferred to Li Renyun, the secretariat of Yunzhou and the defense envoy of Datong Army. Li refused to accept the appointment because of illness. After Li refused, Li Keyong killed Duan Wenchu, the defense envoy of Datong Army, occupied Yunzhou and claimed to stay behind. The Tang court appointed Lu, a former courtier of the Qing Dynasty, as our envoy to strengthen martial arts and fight against Shatuo with soldiers from Youzhou and Erzhou. When Lu arrived in Lanzhou, the army was scattered, so Shatuo took the opportunity to occupy the area north of Daizhou, which was called the border trouble of the Tang Dynasty. In the second year (873), Tang Xizong acceded to the throne, and died because Ye Li, the former Taiyuan our time, was kind to Shatuo. So he appointed his son, Li Jun, as our envoy to Lingwu, and sent him to three ministries in six states of Shatuo, and asked Li Jun to arrest Li Keyong. Feng Ke used the Datong Army to defend the ambassador.
After a while, he attacked the Tangut Li and spit muddy (that is, spit muddy). He Lianduo raided Zhenwu. When Li Keyong heard this, he set out from Yunzhou to see his father Li, but when he returned to Yunzhou, Yunzhou people closed the checkpoint and refused to let them in. Li and his son were desperate, so they attacked Yuzhou (now Yuxian County, Hebei Province) and Shuozhou (now Shuoxian County) and recruited 3,000 soldiers. Li entered Yuzhou guarding city, and Li Keyong occupied the new city. Nuozong appointed He Lianduo as Datong Ambassador, and Li Jun as North Ambassador to crusade against Shatuo.
After five years (AD 878), Shatuo defeated Gailu first and then Ge Lan. Tang Jun was defeated several times, so Shatuo's power became stronger and stronger, occupying Wei and Shuo in the north, invading Xin, Dai, Lan and Shi in the south, and reaching Taigu.
In the first year of Guangming (AD 880), Li Zhuo attacked Shatuo together with Li Keju of Youzhou and He Liandu of Yunzhou, while Li Keyong and Li Keju refused to join the army. Li Keyong's uncle and good friend Jin surrendered with Wei and Shuo. Hearing this, the Li Keyong immediately went out to report. Li Keju chased Li Keyong to Yaoerling and defeated Li Keyong. Later, Li Zhuo's army defeated Li Keyong in Yuzhou. Shatuo was defeated, and Li and Li Keyong were exiled.
Smash Huang Chao
In the first year of Zhonghe (AD 88 1 year), Huang Chao had captured Chang 'an, and Chen Jingsi led ten thousand troops from Shatuo and Tuhun and Anqing to Chang 'an from the north. Marching to Jiangzhou, the Shatuo army was in chaos and went back after looting. Chen Jingsi felt that the Shatuo army could not be led by anyone except Li Keyong, so the imperial edict asked Tang Gaozong to recall Li Keyong from Dayao and appointed him as the secretariat of Daizhou and the northern camp of Yanmen. Li Keyong led tens of thousands of Chinese troops out of the Ten Mausoleums Pass. Passing through Taiyuan, Li Keyong asked the court to pay. When we were in Hedong, Zheng Congkuan only gave him 1000 coins and 1000 meters of stones. Li Keyong was so angry that the soldiers ransacked him and went back.
In November of the second year of Zhonghe (AD 882), Chen Jingsi and Li Keyong arrived in the capital Chang 'an with 17,000 cavalry.
In the first month of the third year of Zhonghe (AD 883), Li Keyong sent troops across the river and stationed troops in dry pits. Huang Chao's army said in horror, "The crow's army has arrived.". In February, defeated Huang Chao general Huang Ye in Shidigu. In March, Zhao Zhang and Jean Shang were defeated by Liangtianpo, and they lost three miles. At this time, troops from all over the country came to Chang 'an, where they fought with the Huang Chao Army on the Weihe Bridge. Huang Chao's army retreated into the city, Li Keyong pursued it, entered through Guang Tai Gate, and engaged the enemy at the Sunrise Palace in Chunwang. Huang Chao's army retreated and fled to Lantian Pass in the south. When Chang 'an was recovered, Li Keyong took the lead in making military achievements. Tang Gaozong appointed Li Keyong as an ordinary proofreader, with Zhongshumen Pingzhang and Hedong our time, and appointed Li as our time in Yanmen North Camp. In October, his father Li died of illness. In November, Li Keyong sent his brother Li Kexiu to attack Zhao Yi's Mongolian side and capture Zeguo and Lu. Li Fang was defeated in Shandong, and the armies of Xing, Ming and Cizhou formed another Zhao Yijun. Huang Chao fled south to Cai Zhou, surrendered to Qin Zongquan and stopped attacking Chen Zhou.
In the fourth year of neutralization (AD 884), Li Keyong led 50,000 troops to rescue Chen Zhou. He wanted to borrow Heyang, but Zhuge Shuang didn't agree, so he led the troops across the river. In April, Taikang defeated Jean Shang and Xihua defeated Huang Ye. Huang Chao was defeated and retreated. He arrived in Zhongmou and crossed the river when he reached the river. Li Keyong led the troops to chase, and Huang Chao army was frightened and defeated. In Fengqiu, Li Keyong defeated the Huang Chao army again, and Huang Chao escaped. Li Keyong chased him, galloping three hundred Ali day and night, and chased him to the southwest of Heze, Shandong. He didn't catch up until he came back.
In the fourth year of Zhonghe (AD 884), after Li Keyong crusaded against Huang Chao, he passed by Bianzhou and stopped his troops at Fengchan Temple for rectification. Zhu Quanzhong hosted a banquet for Li Keyong in Yuan Yi. In the evening, after the banquet, Li Keyong fell asleep drunk. Zhu Quanzhong's ambush soldiers came out and set fire to the house. Guo, the servant, put out the candle, hid Li Keyong under the bed, splashed Li Keyong with water and told him that something had happened. Fortunately, the heavy rain put out the fire, and Li Keyong and his entourage, Xue Tieshan and He Huihe, escaped from the Weishi Gate with ropes by the light of lightning and returned to their own troops. In July, Li Keyong came to Taiyuan, reported the matter to Tang Xizong, requested to send troops to Bianzhou, and sent his brother Ke Xiu to the Bianhe area with ten thousand troops to stand by. Nuozong made peace with this matter. At the same time, due to the defeat of Huang Chao, Feng Ke was made king of Longxi County.
Separatist scuffle
In the first year of Guangqi (A.D. 885), our ambassador in the river, Wang Chongrong, celebrated the festival with eunuch Tian. Tian advised Wang Chongrong to be transferred to Yanzhou, appointed Dingzhou Wang Chucun as our envoy in the river, and sent troops to Li Keyong to protect Wang Chucun's jurisdiction. Wang Chongrong ordered someone to tell Li Keyong, "The son of heaven gave me a letter. When Li Keyong comes, let him and Wang Chucun kill Li Keyong together. " So he forged an imperial edict and showed it to Li Keyong, saying, "This is a conspiracy of Zhu Quanzhong." Li Keyong wrote eight times asking to attack Zhu Quanzhong, but Tang Xizong refused. Li Keyong was very angry. Wang Chongrong didn't receive the order to be transferred, so Tang Xizong ordered Zhu Mei of Zhaiguo and Li Changfu of Fengxiang to crusade against him. But Li Keyong sent troops to help Wang Chongrong, defeated Zhu Mei in Shayuan, led the troops to attack Chang 'an, and set fire to plunder everywhere. Tang Xizong fled to Xingyuan, and Li Keyong retreated to the river. At this time, Zhu Mei also rebelled and sent troops to chase Tang Xizong, but failed to catch up with Tang Xizong. She just caught Li Yan in Wang Xiang. Zhu Mei forced Li Yan to proclaim himself emperor and stationed troops in Fengxiang. Tang Xizong thinks that only Li Keyong can defeat Zhu Mei, but Li Keyong doesn't want to be used by Tang Xizong. When Huang Chao was broken in Chang 'an, Yang Fuguong, the commander-in-chief of all the military forces in the world, had a good relationship with Li Keyong, so he sent an admonition minister, Liu, to enlist Li Keyong by letter, saying that it was Yang Fuguong's idea to let Li Keyong send troops to crusade against Zhu Mei and other forces. On the surface, Li Keyong agreed, but he didn't go.
In the first year of Dashun (A.D. 890), Li Keyong broke and seized three states, Xing, Ming and Magnetic, and ordered An Jinjun to attack Lianyungang. You traveled to Zhou Li to send troops to save Heliandou, and fought with An Jinjun in Yuzhou, and An Jinjun was defeated. So Li Kuangwei, He Lianduo and Zhu Quanzhong all wrote to Li Keyong, saying that they would take the opportunity to attack him because of his failure. Tang Zhaozong thought that Li Keyong had destroyed Huang Chao's achievements and should not be punished, so he called four or more Taiwan Province officials to discuss the matter. Most of the officials who participated in the discussion said that they could not crusade against Li Keyong. Zhang Jun, the prime minister, believed that the Shatuo tribe forced the Nuo people to flee to Xingyuan, and the crime should be sentenced to death. , make Yang Fuguong and Li Keyong friendship is very good, he also tried to remonstrate, think can't crusade, Tang Zhaozong agreed to his remonstrance, told the letters to Zhu Quanzhong and others. Zhu Quanzhong secretly bribed Zhang Jun to strengthen his original proposal. As a last resort, Tang Zhaozong appointed Zhang Jun as the commander-in-chief of Taiyuan No.4 Road Camp, and Han Jian as the agreement to crusade against Li Keyong. At this time, Luzhou general Feng Ba surrendered and Zhu Paige went to Luzhou. The Tang court appointed Sun Pai and Jing as our envoys for the Zhao rebellion. Li Keyong sent Li Cunxiao to capture Sun Pai, the eldest son, and sent Kang to capture Luzhou. In November, Zhang Jun and Li Keyong fought in the underworld, Zhang Junjun lost in World War III, and Zhang Jun and Han Jian fled back. Li Keyong's army plundered Jin and Jiang until the river was devastated and desolate. Li Keyong's statement on the table was arrogant. Tang Zhaozong apologized to him for this and wrote back to him in a friendly way.
In February of the second year of Dashun (AD 89 1 year), Tang Zhaozong appointed Li Keyong as our time in Hedong and the king of Longxi County, and appointed him as a proofreader and secretariat. In April, Li Keyong attacked Hector even more in Yunzhou, besieged Hector even more than one hundred days, and Hector even fled to spit muddy. In August, he plundered in Taiyuan, left Jin and Jiang, seized Huai and Meng, and came to Xingzhou to attack.
Pioneer Li Cunxiao captured Lincheng and attacked Yuanshi County. Li Kuang-wei sent troops to rescue him, but Ke used troops to retreat from Xing.
In the first year of Jingfu (AD 892), Wang Rong attacked Xingzhou, and Li Cunxin and Li Sixun defeated Wang Rong in Yaoshan. In February, Chu Cun and Wang attacked, and the two armies fought in Xincheng. Li Wang's allies were defeated by Wang Rong. In August, Li Kuangwei attacked Yunzhou to contain Li Keyong's troops, and Li Keyong secretly returned to Yunzhou to send troops to defeat Li Kuangwei. In October, Li Cunxiao defected in Xingzhou.
In the second year of Jingfu (AD 893), Li Cunxiao turned to Wang Rong for help. Li Keyong sent troops to Jingxing to attack Wang Rong, and wrote to surrender to Wang Rong and capture Pingshan, Wang Rong. Wang Rong was afraid, so he made peace with Li Keyong, gave Li Keyong 500,000 silks, and sent troops to help attack Xingzhou.
In March of the first year of Ganning (AD 894), Li Keyong captured Li Cunxiao and killed him. In the same winter, Li Keyong attacked Youzhou, and Li Kuangchen abandoned the city and fled. Li Keyong chased the capital, killed Li Kuangchen and appointed Liu Rengong as his successor.
In the second year of Ganning (AD 895), Wang Zhongying, our special envoy for time, died, and his sons Kelly and Wang Xun competed for this position. Li Keyong wrote to ask Kelly to inherit the throne, while Li Fengxiang Mao Zhen, Yan Ning Wang Xingyu and Huazhou Han Jian wrote to ask Wang Xun to inherit the throne. Tang Zhaozong began to be in a dilemma, so he appointed Cui Yin, the prime minister, as our envoy to the river, and later agreed to let Kelly be Li Keyong. Li and others are very angry. Three * * * set out to attack Chang 'an. I heard that Li Keyong also sent troops, and they all retreated. In June, Li Keyong conquered Jiangzhou and killed the secretariat Yao Yao (Wang Xun's younger brother, who helped Wang Xun fight for the position). In July, Li Keyong came to the river and met with Zhou Wang to go to Chang 'an, spreading rumors that "100,000 Shatuo troops in Li Keyong have been killed!" Wang Xingyue wants to move to History, and Li's adopted son Yan Gui also wants to grab Fengxiang. When Chang 'an was in chaos, Tang Zhaozong fled to Shimen. Li Keyong's army did not March in the direction of Chang 'an in the river for more than a month, so Tang Zhaozong sent Rebecca Pi Jie and Dan Wang Yunxiong to do Li Keyong's work and reported the critical situation to Chang 'an. In August, Li Keyong invaded Wei Qiao and was ordered to command in all directions in Taining. Tang Zhaozong returned to Chang 'an. In November, Li Keyong defeated Taizhou, and Wang Xingyu was killed after failing to go to Gyeongju. Li Keyong retreated to Yunyang and wrote a petition to crusade against Li. Zhao Zong comforted Li Keyong, made him reconcile with Li, and awarded Li Keyong the title of "loyalty and hardship" and made him the king of Jin. At this time, Jin Jun was caught in the rain for 60 days in Weibei. Advise Li Keyong into changan, Li Keyong didn't make a decision. Gaiyu of Duya said, "The Emperor has been afraid to sleep well since he came back from Shimen. If Jin soldiers cross the Weihe River, can the emperor feel at ease? " At this time, why did the king of Qin March into Chang 'an? "Li Keyong laughed." Gaiyu doesn't believe me, let alone everybody! "So I resigned and went back.
Jin-Liang dispute
In the first month of the third year of Gan Ning (AD 896), Tang Zhaozong prepared to appoint Zhang Jun as prime minister again. Li Keyong said, "At this time, Zhu Quanzhong's conspiracy." So the above table said, "If your Majesty appoints Zhang Jun as Prime Minister in the morning, I will come to the court at night!" Chang 'an was in a panic, and Tang Zhaozong terminated Zhang Jun's appointment .. Zhu Quanzhong attacked Yanzhou and Yun, and Li Keyong sent Li Cun to save Zhu Xuan and others through Weifang. Li Cunxin stationed troops in Shenxian, and the army harassed people and plundered things in Weizhou. Then Luo led an ambush to attack Li Cunxin, and saved the letter to retreat to Mianzhou. Li Keyong personally led troops to attack Weizhou, and fought Luo at Huan Water, and Li, the son of Li Keyong, was killed. In June, Li Keyong attacked more than ten cities such as Cheng 'an, Huan 'shui and Linzhang in Wei Zhou. In October, Wei Bojun was defeated in Bailongtan and attacked Guanyin Gate. Wei Bojun's danger was not lifted until reinforcements arrived in Zhu Quanzhong.
In the fourth year of AD (897), Liu Rengong opposed Jin, and Li Keyong led 50,000 troops to attack Liu Rengong. The two armies fought in Ansai, and Li Keyong was defeated.
In the first year of Guanghua (AD 898), Paige captured Ming and Ci counties. Li Keyong sent Zhou Dewei to send troops to Qingshankou, Zhou Dewei met Ge Jun at Zhanggongqiao, and Zhou Dewei was defeated. In the winter of the same year, Xue, the governor of Luzhou, died of illness, and Li took over Luzhou and defected.
In the second year of Guanghua (AD 899), he sent his uncle Cong to attack Chengtian Army, and then attacked Liaozhou to Yuci. Zhou Dewei defeated Zhu Cong in the cave vortex. In the autumn of the same year, Li Helu was taken in again.
In the third year of Guanghua (AD 900), Li defeated Shahe and captured Mianzhou again. Personally led the troops to surround Li's troops. Li was defeated and fled to Qingshankou, where he was ambushed and Li was also defeated. In the autumn of the same year, Huaizhou was captured. In the same year, the town was attacked and two countries were established, both of which were separated from Jin and belonged to.
In the year of Guangfu (AD 90 1), Zhu Quanzhong was made King of Liang. Liang Jun captured Jinzhou, Jiangzhou and Linjiang, and captured Kelly. Kim lost three alliances, so he wrote a document to send money to Liang for peace. Quan Zhong thought that Jin had no strength to attack directly, so he said: "Although Jin Lai asked for an alliance, the wording of the document was arrogant." So attack Kim. In April, enter the patio, enter the new gate, Ge enter the earth gate, go straight into the flying fox, and Hou Yan enter the shady scene. After taking Ze and Lu, he led Bai, the lieutenant, and defeated Cheng Tianjun. Zhang E, the satrap of Liao State, and Li Tan, the satrap of Fenzhou, were greeted and surrendered, so that they had time to panic in the Jin territory. At this time, it rained heavily, and many soldiers in Liang Jun became ill. Liang Jun walked out. In May, 8 jin j recaptured Fenzhou again and killed Li Tang. In June, Zhou Dewei and Li captured Cixi and Ji.
Two years later (AD 902), Jin Jun attacked Jinzhou and Jiangzhou and lost to Puxian. Liang Jun attacked Fen and Hebei and surrounded Taiyuan. Li Keyong was frightened, going to flee to Yunzhou, and wanted to flee to Xiongnu, hesitating. At this time, a large-scale epidemic occurred, withdrawing troops, and Zhou Dewei regained Fen, Ci and Ji again.
Four years later (AD 904), Liang forced the Tang Dynasty to move its capital to Luoyang and change its name to God bless. Li Keyong believed that Liang held the Tang emperor hostage and moved the capital. God bless the name of the Tang dynasty, so it can't be used, so I still use the name of Tianfu.
Five years later (AD 905), Li Keyong and Qidan Yelv Baoji became brothers in the cloud.
Six years later (AD 906), Liang attacked Cangzhou, the territory of Yan State, and Liu Rengong, the prince of Yan, borrowed soldiers from Li Keyong. Li Keyong hated Liu Rengong's capriciousness and could not agree. His son Li Jian said, "Now it's time to rally. Nine times out of ten, the current world situation is Liang's power, and the stronger separatist forces such as Zhao, Wei and Zhongshan do not obey Liang. Therefore, in the north of the Yellow River, there is no power that Liang is afraid of. What Liang Yusheng fears is only the Yan under Liu Rengong and us, such as Yan and Jin, which is not a good thing for Liang Yusheng. We don't care about details, he often besieged us, but we went to help him solve his difficulties. We can remember that this is our kindness to him. This can be said to kill two birds with one stone. This is an opportunity not to be missed! " Li Keyong thought this was reasonable, so he sent troops to attack Luzhou for Yan, and the crisis in Yancheng was eliminated. Li Keyong ordered Li to stay in Luzhou.
Seven years later (907), Hou Liang attacked Luzhou with 100,000 troops and built a walled city to surround Luzhou. Li Keyong sent Zhou Dewei to save Luzhou.
die of illness
In the winter of seven years (907), Li Keyong was seriously ill. In the same year, the back beams destroyed the Tang Dynasty (the first year of Kaiping), and Li Keyong still used Tang to bless for four years.
God bless five years (908), Li Keyong died at the age of 53. His son Li Xucun succeeded to the throne and buried Li Keyong in Yanmen.
Li Keyong and Thirteen Pacific Insurance
Thirteen Taibao, the thirteen sons of Li Keyong, an envoy in the late Tang Dynasty, Li Siyuan, Li, Li, Li Cunxin, Li Cunjin, Li Siben, Li Sien, Li, Jiu Taibao, Li Cunxian, Shi Jingsi, Kang and Li Cunxiao were all named Taibao. Except for Li's Santaibao, the other twelve are adopted sons.
Because of its high reputation, many people's organizations and groups in the late history of China took the name of "Thirteen Pacific Insurance".
Li Cunxu is extremely powerful, brave and good at fighting, and invincible in the world. He is as famous as Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, and is known as "Li and Wang can't be beaten". In the comments of later generations, there is even a saying that "there was a Li Yuanba in the early Tang Dynasty and a Li Cunxiao in the late Tang Dynasty, and both of them hated heaven without handles and earth without rings". It means that if the sky has a handle, they can pull it down, and if the earth has a ring, they can lift it up.
Li Cunxiao's most famous is his 500 Flying Tigers, who fought side by side with him for many times, and achieved invincible brilliant achievements, which made his opponents fearful and famous all over the world. Later, I alienated my adoptive father because of my doubts about his employment, and finally came to a sad end.
Famous Legend As a warlord, Li Keyong did have many deeds of disobeying the Tang government when he was young, but perhaps it was because the young hero later fought the infamous Zhu Wen in the name of "reviving the Tang Dynasty", so there are many positive legends about him in history. Interestingly, many of these legends are related to his weapon "arrow".
Yang Xingmi sent someone to draw a picture for Li Keyong. The person in the picture was blind and named "Cyclops". There is a story in A Supplement to the History of the Five Dynasties: After Li Keyong occupied Hedong and gained great prestige, Yang Xingmi, another warlord in Huainan, wanted to see what Li Keyong was like. So Yang Xingmi found a painter to pretend to be a businessman and went to Hedong to steal Li Keyong's face. Unexpectedly, as soon as the painter arrived in Hedong, he was immediately captured by the Hedong samurai who got the information in advance. Ke Yong was quite angry and said to his cronies, "I'm missing an eye. See how he paints me. " When the painter arrived at the temple, Li Keyong immediately became furious and said, "Huainan sent you to paint me. I think you are the best painter. If you don't draw well today, then this is your death! " It was a hot summer at that time, so the painter first drew Li Keyong with a fan in his hand, and the angle of the fan just covered Li Keyong's blind eyes, which was very clever. But Ke Yong didn't like it, saying that the painter was "flattering" and ordered him to repaint. This time, the painter painted Li Keyong's bow and arrow, and one eye narrowed as if aiming at the target. He was overjoyed, so he rewarded the painter with money and sent him back to Huainan. [ 1]
The story of Li Keyong's archery and flying eagle can be found in the ninth chapter of Luo Guanzhong's Romance of the Tang and Five Dynasties, "Kill Zhou Dewei with one arrow"; In addition, Bai Pu's Yuanqu also has the passbook of "Li Keyong kills two birds with one stone"; In addition, there is also this bridge in the Beijing Opera Julien Village. The effect is that when Li Keyong was exposed by the Tang government to crusade against Huang Chao, he met a general Zhou Dewei who was in the way in Julian Village. Li Keyong, known as Zhou Dewei, pranced forward to fight, and the two men fought for more than 100 games. Regardless of the outcome, they took the condor as a bet. If Li Keyong can shoot an eagle, Zhou Dewei will dismount and surrender. Li See shot with a bow, the bowstring rang, the carving had landed, and Zhou Dewei surrendered.
The prototype of this story is likely to come from the record of "The History of the Old Five Dynasties Huang Wuji Shang". [2] And "The History of the New Five Dynasties, Records of the Tang Dynasty IV" also has its good narrative.
Li Xucun was shot with an arrow on his deathbed. This is probably the most famous story between Li Keyong and Lee. Wang Yucheng's History of the Five Dynasties in the early Song Dynasty records that Li Keyong gave Li Sanjian when he was dying, saying, "Liu Rengong and his son betrayed me, and Qidan Abao broke the contract. Zhu Wen and we are feuds. I will give you three arrows. The first arrow wants you to crusade against Liu Rengong, the second arrow wants you to defeat Qidan, and the third arrow wants you to defeat Qidan. [4] Li enshrined three arrows in the ancestral hall and sent people to take turns to take them to the battlefield when he went out to fight. Later, he defied Yan, defeated the Khitan and destroyed the back beam. After winning, he sent the arrow back to the ancestral temple, which indicated that he had fulfilled Li Keyong's wish.
But people of all ages doubted the truth of this story. According to the textual research of Zi Jian by Sima Guang, according to the Biography of Khitan in the Old Five Dynasties, when Li Gang ascended the throne, he surrounded Luzhou (now Changzhi City, Shanxi Province), so he even sent messengers to Khitan to offer condolences, and offered him money and bribes, begging the cavalry to save Luzhou. It can be seen that there is no enmity with Qidan. In addition, it was pointed out that Zhu Quanzhong swept the pack, leaving only Li Keyong and Liu Rengong in North China. Li Keyong and his son knew that their lips were dead and their teeth were cold, so Liu Rengong and his son Liu Shouguang were besieged by Zhu Wen, and even Liu Shouguang was attacked by his younger brother Liu Shouwen. Li Keyong and Li sent troops to rescue many times, so at least when Li Keyong died, Hedong did not oppose Liu. But more scholars believe that Li Keyong's story is more true. We bribed the Khitan to stabilize the rear of Hedong for the sake of fighting against the back beam and survival, so that we wouldn't fight on both sides when fighting against Zhu Liang. After Zhu Wen annexed Youzhou, it was also the usual method of warlords to keep Youzhou and avoid Hedong being surrounded by Zhu Liang on three sides. Just because Li once forged the Khitan to send troops to save Youzhou, we can't assume that the above story is untrue.
Historical evaluation
Yang: "My world and Li Keyong are very worried. They are loyal in spite of difficulties and regard death as death. It will be a shame if you ask a teacher. "
Tang Zhaozong: "It's great to use."
Song Qi: "In case of royal chaos, there is Taiyuan. Lu's nature is sincere, too small and conceited. Managing the world is impossible. Although the soldiers won, they lost several times; Although we have got the land, we still need to recover it, so we should be familiar with the emperor's robbery, shrink our necks and sweat, and grab the scenery, which is despicable! Thanks to his son's eagerness, he suppressed it and came back to life. At that time, soldiers were asked to support Wang Wu's extended family, but Zhu's death was a disgrace to the Tang Dynasty, and Shatuo also died. Let Ke Yong know something about ancient and modern times, like Qi Huan and Jin Wen. Tang Qi is dead? "
