Chapter 118 Double Flower Red Stick Xue Rengui [Seeking support! ]
【Xue Rengui, whose given name was Li and whose courtesy name was Rengui, was known by his courtesy name.】
[Xue Rengui was born in the tenth year of Emperor Yangdi's Daye reign (614). Many of Xue Rengui's ancestors had been officials, so he could be considered a half-official son.]
[Why is Xue Rengui only half a bureaucrat's son? ]
[That’s right, Xue Rengui’s family fell into poverty later on! ]
[When he was young, Xue Rengui joined the army early because of his poor family background. ]
[In 645, Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, personally led an expedition to Goryeo.]
[One month after the war began, Tang general Liu Junqiong was unfortunately surrounded by the Goryeo army. At the critical moment, Xue Rengui stood up! ]
[With his own strength, the extremely brave Xue Rengui charged directly into the enemy army! In full view of the crowd, Xue Rengui, who penetrated deep into the enemy army, beheaded the enemy general in public! At the same time, he also saved the Langjiang Liu Junqiong! ]
[After this incident, Xue Rengui began to emerge in the Tang army.]
"Don't mention it, this Xue Rengui does have some skills. Not only did he break through the enemy's formation, but he also managed to kill a general!"
Seeing this, after confirming again and again that he had not made a mistake, Marshal Goron's eyes widened, and he couldn't help feeling shocked and horrified in his heart.
In the army, there are four major military merits: being the first to reach the target, beheading the general, capturing the flag, and breaking through the enemy lines!
Any of these four military merits is enough to get a person promoted three levels!
Having said that, the four great military merits are not so easy to achieve!
And what about Xue Rengui? He established two of them in the first battle!
Back then, Gelong had made great military achievements, but that also cost him half his life!
It would be fine if there was no comparison, but once there was a comparison, the gap between Ge Long and Xue Rengui became apparent.
[In April, in the battle of Anshi City, Xue Rengui, wearing a white armor, holding a halberd and a bow, shouted and charged into the battle. He was invincible and unstoppable! ]
[This also allowed Xue Rengui to successfully gain the favor and attention of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin. ]
[Emperor Taizong Li Shimin had two "double red sticks" in his life. The first one was Qin Qiong, the master of fists, who rode his horse across the Yellow River and beat three states and six prefectures with his mace. The second one was Xue Rengui, who conquered Tianshan with three arrows and defeated thousands of enemies by taking off his hat.]
"Double-flowered red stick? What is that?"
This unfamiliar word touched upon Qian Renxue's blind spot in knowledge, and she murmured to herself, somewhat puzzled and curious.
Hearing Qian Renxue's words, Ye Feng responded: "Simply put, he is the most capable fighter under my command."
"Is that so?" After getting the answer and explanation, Qian Renxue nodded thoughtfully.
[After the war, Emperor Taizong Li Shimin specially summoned Xue Rengui, who was just an ordinary soldier at the time. He also gave Xue Rengui two horses, 40 pieces of silk, and ten captives as slaves, and promoted him to guerrilla general! ]
[After the battle of Anshi City, on the way back to the capital, Li Shimin said to Xue Rengui: "My old generals are old and can no longer handle the heavy work of marching and fighting and commanding battles. Therefore, I plan to promote a group of young and promising generals. And you? You meet my standards! I am not happy to get Liaodong, I am happy to get you!]
[Afterwards, Li Shimin promoted Xue Rengui to the position of General of the Right Army, responsible for guarding the Xuanwu Gate of the palace.]
[During the period of guarding Xuanwu Gate, Xue Rengui not only worked diligently, but he even saved the life of Emperor Gaozong of Tang, Li Zhi! ]
"Savior?!"
Upon learning that Xue Rengui actually saved the life of Emperor Gaozong of Tang, Li Zhi, Marshal Ge Long was once again deeply shocked.
In the army, in addition to the four major military merits of being the first to reach the top, beheading the general, seizing the flag, and breaking through the enemy lines, there is another merit that can be said to be both big and small, and that merit is saving the master! Xue Rengui not only saved the master, but he actually saved the emperor!
It goes without saying that this must be a great achievement, a huge achievement!
Saving the emperor? Isn't this merit greater than any of the four great military achievements? And it's not an exaggeration to say that it's greater than the four great military achievements combined!
For a moment, Marshal Ge Long, who spoke the truth, couldn't help but envy Xue Rengui.
Saving the Lord? Saving the Emperor? Which soldier hadn't thought of such a great feat?
[In the third year of Xianqing, which was 658 AD, Li Zhi ordered Cheng Mingzhen to attack Goryeo.]
[In that battle, Xue Rengui was appointed as the deputy general. In Guiduan City, Xue Rengui defeated the Goryeo army and beheaded more than 3,000 people! ]
[In the fourth year of Xianqing, which was 659 AD, Xue Rengui fought with the Korean general at Hengshan. At that time, Xue Rengui, holding a bow and arrow, led the way and rushed into the enemy camp, and all those he shot fell to the ground! ]
[Afterwards, Xue Rengui fought with the Goryeo army in Shicheng again, and encountered an enemy general who was good at shooting and killed more than ten Tang soldiers. No one dared to confront him. Xue Rengui was furious when he saw this, and rushed in alone and captured him alive! ]
[In December of the same year, Xue Rengui and Xin Wenling defeated the Khitan at Heishan and captured the Khitan King Abgu and his generals. After the battle, he was appointed General of the Left Guard for his merits and was granted the title of Male of Hedong County.]
The light curtain stopped changing here.
The sound stopped here.
Obviously, a good opportunity is coming!
Seeing this, all the onlookers at the scene became serious and solemn at the same time.
"Who will get the first chance of a shooting star today?"
"Please let me be the lucky guy again, sir! I will burn incense for you when I get back!"
"Pray to God? Why not pray to the gentleman?"
"One, two, three... Great! There are actually six meteors this time!"
"Six sixes are auspicious. There are six meteors in the first shooting star opportunity today. That is a good omen."
As everyone was discussing, five of the six dazzling meteors fell into Wuhun City. All six meteors were white without exception.
Looking at the five meteors that fell into Wuhun City, Xiao Wu couldn't help but say, "I hope I can get one of them!"
After saying this, Xiao Wu looked around and frowned.
Why is Xiao Wu frowning?
Because someone never came!
Even now the meteor is about to come, but that person still hasn't come!
who's that person?
It’s not someone else, it’s Xiaowu’s always thinking about her third brother!
Xiao Wu had no idea that after the fortune-telling session yesterday, her beloved third brother was being hunted!
Who is chasing you?
The Tang Clan is chasing us!
At this moment, Tang San is already in danger, and perhaps the only one who can save him is "Sound Douluo".
Who is Sound Douluo?
I can only say that those who understand will understand!
Soon, the first dazzling and brilliant meteor successfully chose its master and fell into the hands of the destined person.
