When Xue Rengui was young, his family was poor and his status was humble, and he made farming his profession. He was preparing to move the graves of his ancestors. His wife Liu said:"If you have outstanding talents, you have to wait for the opportunity to develop them. Now the emperor is personally campaigning in Liaodong to recruit brave generals. This is a rare opportunity. Why don't you strive to achieve meritorious service and become famous? After becoming rich and powerful, It’s not too late to go home and move the burial."

Xue Rengui agreed, so he went to see General Zhang Shigui to apply for the army. From then on, he entered the military and began to stand out.

On the battlefield of Andi, Liaodong, General Liu Junqiong was besieged by the Goguryeo Legion and was unable to escape. At this critical moment, Xue Rengui stepped forward single-handedly, took the head of a Goguryeo general, and hung his head on his horse. The Goguryeo army was frightened, so they withdrew their troops, and Liu Junqiong was also rescued. After this battle, Xue Rengui became famous in the army.

Later, the Tang army advanced to Goguryeo and continuously defeated the Goguryeo defenders. In June, the Tang army arrived at Anshi City. Goguryeo Moli Zhiyuan Gaisu Wen sent generals Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen to station an army of 250,000 on the mountain to resist the Tang army.

After Li Shimin inspected the terrain, he ordered the generals to lead their armies to attack separately.

In this battle, Xue Rengui was dressed in white, holding a halberd and spear, and two bows on his waist. He shouted to charge into the formation and was invincible. The Goguryeo army was invincible. The Tang army followed up in large numbers, and the Goguryeo army was defeated, with more than 20,000 people beheaded.

After the battle at Zhishan, the whole country of Goguryeo was shocked. The soldiers and civilians in Huangcheng, Yincheng and other places abandoned the city and fled, and there was no human habitation within hundreds of miles.

After the war, Li Shimin specially summoned Xue Rengui, who was just an ordinary soldier at the time. Li Shimin gave him two horses, forty pieces of silk and ten captives as slaves, and promoted him to guerrilla general and Yunquanfu Guoyi.

Xue Rengui also began to become famous

······

In the fourth year of Xianqing, Xue Rengui, Liang Jianfang, Qibi Heli and others fought against Goguryeo general Wen Shamen in Hengshan.

At that time, Xue Rengui held a bow and arrow and rushed into the enemy formation at the lead. All those he shot fell to the ground.

Then, he fought with the Goryeo army in Shicheng. When he met an enemy general who was good at shooting, he killed more than ten people from the Tang army, but no one dared to take him.

Xue Rengui was furious when he saw this. He rode in alone and captured him alive. In December, Xue Rengui and Xin Wenling defeated the Khitan in Montenegro and captured the Khitan King Abgu and other generals. After the war, he paid homage to General Zuo Wuwei for his merits and was granted the title of Prince of Hedong County.

······

Why was Lu Yan excited? Because Xue Rengui was not only a military general, but also a handsome man.

Ability to command troops.

Moreover, Xue Rengui's ability to lead troops is obvious to all.

He was also canonized as Grand Marshal.

How could Lu Yan not be overjoyed to get such a powerful general?

Especially Xue Rengui's"Three Arrows Destination Tianshan"","Stories such as"Xue Rengui's Conquest of the West" have been passed down through the ages. In the first year of Longshuo, Porun, the leader of the Uighurs who had always been friendly with the Tang Dynasty, died, and Bisu, who succeeded him, turned against the Tang Dynasty.

Li Zhi ordered General Zheng to guard the right camp. Rentai was the chief general and Xue Rengui was the deputy general. They led the troops to the Tianshan Mountains to attack Jiu Tiele.

Before leaving, Li Zhite gave a banquet in the inner hall. During the banquet, he said to Xue Rengui:"In ancient times, there were people who were good at archery and could penetrate seven layers. Armor, shoot the fifth layer and see."

Xue Rengui responded to the order, put on his armor, took a bow and arrow and shot. He only heard the sound of the bowstring and the arrow had penetrated the five armors. Li Zhi was shocked and immediately ordered people to take the armor and reward Xue Rengui.

After Zheng Rentai and Xue Rengui led their troops to Tianshan, nine Tiele resisted with a crowd of more than 100,000, and ordered dozens of brave knights to challenge.

Xue Rengui fired three arrows and killed three of them. The other knights were frightened by Xue Rengui's power and all dismounted and asked to surrender. Xue Rengui took advantage of the situation and used his army to cover up the killing. He defeated the nine surnamed Tie Le and killed and surrendered his soldiers.

Then, Xue Rengui crossed Qibei to pursue Tie Le's defeated army and captured three of his Ye Hu brothers. After Xue Rengui withdrew his troops, there was a song in the army:"The general's three arrows set the Tianshan Mountains, and the strong soldiers lead the way." The song entered Hanguan."From then on, the nine surnamed Tiele declined and were no longer a border threat.

The nine tribes of Tiele, including Sijie and Duolange, originally guarded the Tianshan Mountains. When Zheng Rentai led his troops, they surrendered in fear. Zheng Rentai refused to accept them and captured them. Their families came to reward the soldiers, and the enemies fled one after another. A waiting horse reported:"The enemy's military supplies, cattle, sheep and horses are scattered across the wilderness, and they can be recaptured.""

Zheng Rentai selected 14,000 cavalry, took off their armor and galloped lightly across the desert. When they arrived at the Xian'e River, they saw no enemies. They ran out of food before retreating. The people were so hungry that they killed and devoured each other. When they returned, they When they arrived at the military camp, only one-twentieth of the cavalry remained.

Xue Rengui also treated the Tiele women captured by his men as concubines and accepted a lot of bribes and gifts. The relevant officials reported and impeached Li Zhi, and Li Zhi Xue Rengui was forgiven because of his great achievements.

······

"Where is Xue Rengui now?"Lu Yan couldn't help but ask.

""Ding, Xue Rengui has implanted his identity. Xue Li, one of Zu Di's subordinates, was valued by Zu Di because of his outstanding performance in this battle, and was directly promoted." The voice of the Great God Pangu rang out.

"Oh", Lu Yan's eyes lit up.

Xue Rengui happened to be born on the battlefield of Liao Kingdom.

What is this?

Is this to let Xue Rengui destroy Tie Shiwen?

You know, Tie Shiwen in the original work died in Xue Rengui hands.
