Ancient Chinese war generals emerged in many places, leaving behind many famous battles. Some people were even called "enemy of ten thousand people", made great achievements, and were respected by later generations as the "God of War". The great man I am going to talk about today was originally just a small official in the Tang Dynasty and was born as a literati, but he created unprecedented results. He destroyed a country with one person, but was almost forgotten by history. Who is this person?
Wang Xuance is from Luoyang, Henan Province, and is a literati. He was once the magistrate of Huangshui County, Rongzhou. He is considered a small official of the Sesame Big Sense and cannot rank in the history of the Tang Dynasty. In the 17th year of Zhenguan, Wang Xuance was ordered to serve as deputy envoy, following the chauvinist , ward sect leader, and the guardian Li Yibiao escorted the envoy of the Brahmin country back to his country. Because of his outstanding diplomatic talent, he was appreciated by , Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, and in December of the same year, he was ordered to go to the state of Magada.
India was called India during the Tang Dynasty. At this time, there were many small princes in India's territory, and the Kada Kingdom ruled these countries in India. At that time, our country was in the prosperous Tang Dynasty and was very developed in all aspects. The king of Kada Kingdom, Siladitia, admired the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty very much and established friendly relations in , Tang .
In the 21st year of Zhenguan, in order to demonstrate the prestige of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Taizong of Tang sent Wang Xuance, who was the chief minister of the Youru Prefecture, to India. Because the journey is long and the means of transportation are underdeveloped, it is a huge test for ordinary people.
When Wang Xuance received the order, he set off with a delegation of more than 30 people. After a long journey, Wang Xuance, who finally arrived in India, learned that King Siladitia had died, the throne was usurped by Indian minister Arjuna, and India was trapped in war. What's even more miserable is that the mission led by Wang Xuance was attacked and was in jail. After
, because Al Qiu and others had no time to take care of Wang Xuance, they found an opportunity to escape. The more Wang Xuance thought about it, the more angry he became. The officials of the Tang Dynasty were imprisoned. This was not only an insult to him, but also an invasion of the power of the Tang Dynasty. So he crossed the Gandhis River and the Sindustan Plain alone, rushed to Nepal , borrowed 7,000 cavalry in the name of the Tang envoy, and Tubo also sponsored more than 1,000 cavalry, and then led his troops back to India.
Wang Xuance is a military genius. He fought fiercely with tens of thousands of troops of Azuna, killing thousands of enemy troops, drowned more than ten thousand, and capturing more than 10,000 people. What's even more terrifying is that Wang Xuance also used the "Fire Bull Formation" to destroy India's 70,000 war elephant troops, quell the war in India in one fell swoop, and created an unprecedented and extraordinary achievement in world history.
After Wang Xuance returned to the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Taizong of Tang was naturally surprised to learn that his subordinates were so successful outside. He immediately promoted Wang Xuance two levels, conferred him as the Chaosan Doctor, and held a grand ceremony to rob Arona Shun to offer prisoners at the Taimiao.
Because Wang Xuance's official position is relatively low, it is impossible to erect a monument for him alone in official history, which has destroyed him for thousands of years. Therefore, a person's reputation depends on publicity. Without any publicity, a great man may be forgotten by the world.
