Empress Wu, Di Gong? Luoshui was shocked

……

In the third year of Wude in the Tang Dynasty, His Majesty the late Emperor Taizong, who was the King of Qin at that time, commanded the Tang Empire in accordance with the Eastern Expedition Order of His Majesty Emperor Gaozu. Tens of thousands of troops in Guanzhong and Hedong came out of Tongguan. Arriving under the city of Luoyang, the eastern capital, he fought against the local separatist forces and Wang Shichong, the ruler of the pseudo-Zheng regime, and launched a decisive battle in Luoyang, the eastern capital.

In this battle, the mighty and brave Tang army swept across the entire land of Heluo with thunderous momentum. In less than three months, it tightly besieged the remaining forces of the pseudo-Zheng regime. , in the city of Luoyang, the eastern capital.

Just as His Majesty the late Emperor Taizong was preparing to accomplish his feats in one battle, he captured Luoyang, the world-famous imperial capital of the East, with lightning speed, and then competed in the Central Plains to dominate the world. He had already dominated Hebei and Shandong. Dou Jiande, who had been in the country for many years and established his own country, was a warlord separatist force in the Puppet Xia Dynasty. He commanded tens of thousands of infantry and cavalry, and was known to the outside world as an army of 500,000. They marched to Hulao Pass in a mighty manner (due to need To avoid the taboo, Li Hu, the ancestor of the Li family, had already changed the name of Hulao Pass to Sishui Pass as early as the founding of the Tang Empire). His Majesty, the late Emperor Taizong, had tens of thousands of his men preparing to attack the Eastern Capital. The main force of the Tang army in Luoyang posed an extremely serious threat.

In order to deal with Dou Jiande's army of hundreds of thousands under the puppet Xia regime and completely eliminate this extremely serious threat, His Majesty the late Emperor Taizong, against all objections, left the main force of the Tang army behind and continued the attack. The city was already under siege. Wang Shichong in death.

His Majesty, the late Emperor Taizong, personally commanded more than 3,500 elite cavalrymen of the Tang Dynasty. They sent troops to Hulao Pass. Under the city walls of Hulao Pass, they launched a battle with an army of hundreds of thousands commanded by the pseudo-Xia King Dou Jiande. A historic decisive battle that will go down in history.

At that time, His Majesty the late Emperor Taizong personally led hundreds of the most elite armored cavalry from the Qin Palace, braving the dense rain of bows and arrows, without hesitation and without fear of death, they galloped straight into the enemy formation and defeated them in one fell swoop. Then, hundreds of thousands of puppet Xia troops created a shocking and unparalleled record of"a hundred cavalry defeating ten thousand enemies".

After achieving this historic victory of"a hundred cavalry defeating ten thousand enemies", His Majesty the late Emperor Taizong, who personally led the cavalry and fought vigorously into the battle, once again made great efforts and led thousands of fine cavalry under his command to charge towards the enemy. The Dou Army camp, which was in a state of defeat, launched an even faster assault.

In the end, they completely defeated and annihilated the hundreds of thousands of troops under the command of the Puppet Xia King Dou Jiande, and captured countless people alive in the battle formation of the Puppet Xia King Dou Jiande, and Dou Jiande and below. The civil and military officials, generals and generals laid a solid foundation for the Tang Empire to win a glorious victory in this key battle, and for the Tang Empire to finally compete in the Central Plains, rule the world, unify the country, and unite all the people.

This crucial legendary experience and decisive supreme victory in front of the Sishui Pass also completely established for His Majesty the late Emperor Taizong his illustrious reputation as the first person in the marching army of the Tang Empire.

Thousands of Guanzhong elders and common people who were overjoyed and running to tell each other did not know that they were closely guarding the late Emperor Yingzhu, who was galloping on horseback and charging into the battle with all his might. On his left and right sides, from beginning to end, He was always there, guarding the late emperor with all his strength, and the confidant general who kept the late emperor and his lord safe and sound was none other than Duan Xiong, Duan Zhixuan, who was then the armored"Hundred Cavalry" of the Qin Palace and the commander of the personal army guards.

Following closely the late Emperor Yingzhu, the commander-in-chief, and General Duan Zhixuan, the commander of the army guards, in front of and behind him, together with their invincible commander, they created"a hundred cavalry to defeat ten thousand enemies", this unparalleled achievement of the Qin Palace's iron armor" The"Hundred Cavalry" and elite pro-army troops were due to their unwavering courage, courage, and unparalleled bravery. For this reason, His Majesty, the late Emperor Taizong, firmly remembered them in his heart.

In the first year of Zhenguan, when His Majesty the late Emperor Taizong ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, he renamed the Palace of the Prince of Qin when his old man Longyou Qiandi was named after the armored"Hundred Cavalry". The pro-army guards led the troops and used this armored"Hundred Cavalry" as the first-class Yulin imperial guard and royal private army to accompany the Emperor of Tang Dynasty when traveling and stationed.

General Duan Xiong and Duan Zhixuan also became the natural and well-deserved first general and commander-in-chief of the"Hundred Cavalry" Army, which was victorious in every battle and faced hundreds of thousands of enemies!

However, in the second and third years of Zhenguan, in the next two years, Duan Zhixuan, the commander-in-chief of Duan, and his"Hundred Cavalry" army, which was victorious in every battle and faced hundreds of enemies, were just like the Tang Army. Among the troops marching in the palace, he seemed to have disappeared, completely fading out of people's sight.

General Duan Zhixuan, who had risen to the rank of General Zuo Xiaowei, was the commander-in-chief of the Royal Private Army"Hundred Cavalry" at that time, and was given the title of Fan Guogong. He also disappeared completely in the imperial temple.

Suddenly, in the government and the public, in the temples, the gossip among high-ranking officials and celebrities, in the neighborhoods, on the streets, in restaurants and tea shops, and among the people in the countryside, the gossip spread everywhere can be said to be overwhelming and overwhelming. It is overwhelming, covering the sky and the sun, and everyone knows it.

Among them, the most explosive and eye-catching rumor is that Commander-in-Chief Duan Zhixuan and his"Hundred Cavalry" army, which is victorious in every battle and has hundreds of thousands of enemies, have been captured by the late Emperor Taizong. Your Majesty, we have secretly formed a special organization dedicated to secret missions and special operations.

……

This secret organization with a special nature is quite similar to the"Iron Eagle Rui Shi" organization established by the Qin State, one of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period, by Sima Cuo, the then general during the Warring States Period.

"The"Tie Ying Rui Shi" secret service organization is very strict in inspecting and selecting the Qin Army soldiers under its command, to the point of seeking perfection, blaming, and finding faults.

Its general inspection and selection process and strict requirements , the summary is as follows:

According to word-of-mouth rumors, General Sima Cuo required the generals under the"Iron Eagle Warriors" that everyone must have extraordinary swordsmanship, exquisite archery, and fight on foot and horse. , the army must be proficient in everything.

When dismounting to fight on foot, the most basic condition must be to be able to defeat the Wei soldiers; when mounting to fight on horseback, it must be able to defeat the elites of Zhao and Qi Knights, as well as Lin Hu and Xiongnu Hu cavalry, are the most basic conditions; when the army is in battle, it must be able to do so. In"The Art of War", Sun Tzu stipulates that"it is as fast as the wind, its speed is like the forest, and its speed is as fast as the forest."Invade like fire, immovable like mountains" is the most basic condition.

Therefore, among the hundreds of thousands of Qin's powerful troops, they were finally able to enjoy the resounding name of"Iron Eagle Warriors". There are only 1,600 people who are famous for their bravery in hundreds of battles!

To sum up, the cruelty and strictness of the inspection and selection of the"Iron Eagle Warriors" can be seen from this!

And according to historical records , Zhang Yi, a famous scholar of the Warring States Period, was the prime minister of the Qin State during the period of King Huiwen of Qin. The"Iron Eagle Ruishi" spy agency was organized. Its main tasks were assassination and infiltration.Sneak attacks, stealing secrets, framing, creating discord, spreading rumors, and targeted killings, and other unspeakable undercover tactics and secret activities.

During the Warring States Period, Xunzi, a classic representative of the Confucian school and a great Confucian scholar, once wrote about the"Iron Eagle Sharpness" that he had witnessed and learned through other effective channels in his famous work"Yi Bing"."Private" spy agency organization, and its general situation has been recorded and described to a certain extent.

"The martial arts of Qi cannot meet the soldiers of the Wei family, and the soldiers of the Wei family cannot meet the warriors of Qin!"

When King Qin Zhao Zheng destroyed the six kingdoms and unified the world, he had already begun to create a unified empire based on the"Iron Eagle Ruishi" spy agency organization, a spy agency organization in the true sense.——"black ice platform"

"The"Black Ice Platform" secret service organization only obeys the orders of Qin Shi Huangdi. According to his official position, a person who is a confidant of the emperor Ting Wei Liao serves as the leader of the"Black Ice Platform" spy organization.

"The"Black Ice Platform" spy agency is organized under the jurisdiction of sixteen lieutenants, who are responsible for the command, and the"Black Ice" generals and sergeants under their command. The secret missions they undertake are also roughly the same as those of the"Iron Eagle Ruishi" agents. The organization and the"Iron Eagle Warriors" under his command are similar.

……

Sure enough, General Duan Zhixuan, who is the commander-in-chief of the"Hundred Cavalry" army, leads the army under his command. It can be said that it is a victorious force with hundreds of cavalry and ten thousand enemies. It is the most elite armored elite cavalry among the elites. After returning triumphantly from the Yinshan battlefields of Shuofang, Fengzhou, and Shengzhou, and secretly returned to Beijing, His Majesty the late Emperor Taizong, who was greatly comforted by his sacred heart, first went to the establishment of his royal private army, the"Hundred Cavalry" Army. , a Baiqiyousi Yamen was set up, which was quite meaningful.

The secret duties and official assignments he undertakes are even more secretive and kept secret.

Moreover, not long after that, the"Hundred Cavalry" army, an iron-blooded and heroic army led by Duan Zhixuan, who was victorious in every battle and defeated thousands of enemies with a hundred cavalry, was even ahead of schedule. All of them were dressed up, with exquisite craftsmanship and as black as ink. , indestructible and unbreakable fine steel armor, ordnance and equipment, and was re-given by His Majesty the late Emperor Taizong to these heroic soldiers and fine iron-clad cavalry, a more appropriate and mighty title was called:"Xuanjia Army"!!

It was not until this time that the government and the public, in the temples, the high-ranking officials, celebrities, and the people in the neighborhoods and streets seemed to truly understand a very real thing. That was before, Regarding the"Hundred Cavalry" Army, this victorious and extremely elite armored elite cavalry has been secretly adapted by His Majesty the late Emperor Taizong into a royal spy agency. Now it seems that most of them, All are untrue.
