The Xuanjia army, the most elite of the Tang Dynasty, had a record of 3,000 and 100,000. Where did the Anshi Rebellion go?

As everyone knows, the most powerful dynasty in Chinese history is the Tang Dynasty. At that time, Emperor Taizong Li Shimin created the prosperous age of Zhenguan, which brought all nations to the dynasty. Even the Western food nations and the Persian Empire sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty for trade and business. At that time, the nomadic peoples in the north were defeated and defeated, such as the Turkic, Uyghur, Huihe, and Tubo regimes. In the history of the Tang Dynasty, there was a unit that stood out, and that was the famous Xuanjia Army.

Xuanjia Army is a direct line of Li Shimin’s army, and Zhang Xutuo’s army, Sui Yang’s Xiaoguo army is also known to the world. It was one of the three most elite troops in the Central Plains at the time. In the battle of Hulaoguan, Li Shimin led The 3,500 Xuanjia Army confronted the hundreds of thousands of Xia Army. At that time, Wang Shichong couldn't make it, and Dou Jiande led a 100,000 army to support. However, Li Shimin relied on 3,500 Xuanjia Army to defeat Dou Jiande's 100,000 army at Hu Laoguan, Dou Jiande. Only a few hundred people were taken to escape. Wang Shichong of Luoyang saw that Dou Jiande had been wiped out, and he had no ability to resist the Tang Dynasty, so he led the civil and military officials to surrender.

After Li Shimin ascended the throne, he split the Xuanjia Army into two. One part became the hundred horses defending the imperial palace. They were stationed near Chang'an for a long time to protect the emperor’s safety. The other part of the Xuanjia Army was handed over to the military god Li Jing. In the decisive battle between Korea and Turks, Li Jing led the Xuanjia Army to form a six-flower formation to defeat the Turkic cavalry at the foot of Yinshan Mountain. The Xuanjia Army was also famous for this, but after Li Shimin's death, Li Zhi ascended the throne. Where did the Xuanzong Li Longji era go?

In fact, this is also the sadness of history. The Xuanjia Army once expanded in Wu Zetian Shiji, and the number of people increased, and the combat effectiveness was significantly reduced. In the Tang Xuanzong period, the Xuanjia Army was reorganized on a large scale and finally became a decoration of the Tang Dynasty. Pin, there is no longer the brave and good warfare of the past. Although the Xuanjia Army also played an important role in the Battle of Hulaoguan and the Battle of Dingxiang, the Tang Dynasty inherited the peace for a long time, and the Xuanjia Army continued to expand, resulting in This army died without a problem, so that in Tianbao's 14 years of Anshi Rebellion, the Xuanjia army never appeared again.
