Speaking of it, it is hard to avoid reminding people of Xue in a white robe. In Xue's legend, Xue is a handsome, mighty and good general, with outstanding personal force and superior military ability. It can be said that he is a public idol image, and as Xue's superior, he has robbed Xue of his credit many times, but gold always shines. Xue finally won the appreciation by virtue of his own ability. After all, Zhang Shigui dared to lead the rebellion, which is a great traitor.
But this is Xue's legendary story after all. In the official history, Zhang Shigui was not only a traitor, but also a man with lofty ideals who made contributions to the Tang Dynasty.
Zhang Shigui is a born martial artist, and he is proficient in the art of war. Is he familiar with it? This is the image of Xue.
At the end of Sui Dynasty, Zhang Shigui led his troops to take refuge in Li Tang Dynasty, which made great contributions to Li Tang Dynasty. Zhang Shigui himself made great contributions to the Li Dynasty.
In official records, Zhang Shigui was chivalrous and fearless, and was good at getting along with soldiers. His reputation has always been good. For example, some famous soldiers in the Tang Dynasty, such as Weichi Gong and Cheng, were named after them. Therefore, Zhang Shigui is definitely a figure who pays equal attention to reputation and talent.
After Li Shimin, Zhang Shigui followed Li Shimin's Western Expedition and made great contributions. Zhang Shigui also supported Li Shimin and played a key role in the change of Xuanwu Gate.
During the Zhenguan period, Zhang Shigui suppressed the Southwest Uprising and marched into Korea. It was at this time that Xue became his subordinate. When he was under his command, Xue was humble, but he was appreciated. Regardless of Xue's humble origins, many of Xue's tricks will be adopted. It can be said that Xue is famous and undoubtedly his Bole.
In his later years, Zhang Shigui was made Duke Guo by Li Shimin. After his death, he was made a general of the auxiliary country by Li Shimin, and he was the twenty-four hero of Lingyange.
Zhang Shigui's reputation was defiled by later generations, not because Zhang Shigui did anything out of line, nor because Zhang Shigui was not good enough. The main reason is that Xue is excellent, not only because Xue is excellent, but also because later generations have an inexplicable enthusiasm for Xue. Zhang Shigui was Xue's chief executive, so we smeared and described Xue's ups and downs, highlighting Xue's excellence.
What a terrible thing! It was good for Xue, but in the end it was said to be a cowardly villain.
