There have been many disciplined troops in China's history, such as the Yue Family Army , which "don't demolish houses when frozen to death, and starved to death, and not plundering", Qi Jijun, who "beheaded and displayed all acts of disturbing the people", and the People's Liberation Army who "don't take the masses one by one" in a stitch. Of course, there have been more chaotic troops that are robbing the people and plundering everywhere. Moreover, these chaotic troops are not all miscellaneous troops during the war period, but many of them are regular troops commanded by famous generals. Today we will take a look at famous generals and generals in history who are famous for being robbed by soldiers!

first place: Huo Qubing

As we all know, Huo Qubing has gone into the north of the desert three times to attack Huns , and the tactics he adopted were " Blitzkrieg " and "fight to support war". With almost no logistics supply, each time he moved to the hinterland of the Huns for several months, it was unimaginable not to rob the Huns!

The first time was in the sixth year of Yuanshuo. The seventeen-year-old Huo Qubing was appointed as the captain of the Piao Yao by Emperor Wu of Han. He followed Wei Qing to attack the Huns in the south of the Moon. According to the Records of the Grand Historian, Huo Qubing "against the Qing Yong cavalry and the Qing Yong cavalry abandoned the army for hundreds of miles to go to the forefront, and killed the heads and captives." In this battle, Huo Qubing captured 2,028 Xiongnu people, including the prime minister, the grandfather of the Shanyu , Ji Ruo Houchan and his uncle Luo Gubi. After the war, Huo Qubing was awarded the title of Marquis for 1,600 households.

Huo Qubing went to war with his uncle Wei Qing for the first time, and abandoned the army and ignored it. Without bringing supplies, he fought for hundreds of miles and returned with great victory. This time, Huo Qubing tasted the sweetness. From then on, he fully demonstrated the tactics of "blitzkrieg" and "fighting to fight" to the fullest.

The second time was in the second year of Yuanshou, when Emperor Wu of Han appointed the nineteen-year-old Huo Qubing as General of the Cavalry. Yu Chun and Xia led their troops to attack and occupy the Hunxie King and Xiu Tu King's troops in Hexi area, annihilated more than 40,000 enemies. Five Hun kings were captured, including more than 120 people including the Queen Mother of , Shanyu Shi, princes, prime ministers, generals, etc.

The third time was in the fourth year of Yuanshou. Emperor Wu of Han ordered Wei Qing and Huo Qubing (22 years old at the time) to lead 50,000 cavalry and hundreds of thousands of infantry each, and went out to Dingxiang and Daijun , and went deep into Dibei to find the main force of the Huns. Huo Qubing led his army to the north for more than 2,000 miles, crossed Lihou Mountain, crossed Gonglu River, fought with the Xiongnu two troops, annihilated 70,400 enemies, captured three people including Tuntou King, Han King, and 83 people including General and Prime Minister. He took advantage of the victory to chase the Langjuxu Mountain, and held a ceremony to sacrifice to heaven. This battle was the farthest attack on the Huns in the Han Dynasty.

second place: Zeng Guofan

Hu Linyi once gave Zeng Guofan a sentence, "Use thunder and lightning methods to show the heart of the Bodhisattva." As we all know, Zeng Guofan’s most criticized behavior was his behavior of looting and massacre of the city, and he was nicknamed “Zeng Shaved” because of this.

In his later years, Zeng Guofan often felt sad about his young massacre in letters and diaries. "My brothers led their troops to kill people, and they were not careful when choosing skills."

Zeng Guofan's Hunan Army led by Zeng Guofan confronted the Taiping Army. At the beginning, more defeats more than defeats, and often lost their troops and generals. Zeng Guofan was extremely sad when he saw the beloved generals around him died one by one. For example, the Hunan Army's first powerful general, Tazibu , died in the battle to attack Jiujiang; one of the important founders of the Hunan Army, also Zeng Guofan's old friend, Luo Zenan , died of serious injuries during the battle to attack Wuchang . In the "Three Rivers Battle" in 1858, the Hunan Army was defeated, and the 6,000-man front-line troops of the Hunan Army were wiped out. The Hunan Army Admiral Li Xubin was killed in battle. What made Zeng Guofan even more sad was that his younger brother Zeng Guohua was also killed in battle in this battle, and in the end he could not even find his head.

It can be said that after more than ten years of conquest, the Hunan Army and the Tianping Army have long formed a deadly enemy. Moreover, if the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's ability to conquer the body from the flesh, they will definitely rekindle. Therefore, every time Zeng Guofan captured a city, he would plunder and even slaughter the city.

For example, in the eighth year of Xianfeng, the Hunan Army captured Jiujiang City, and Zeng Guofan wrote to his ninth brother Zeng Guoquan and said: "I took over the book and knew that Jiujiang was recovering, and I was happy to comfort me. I only wanted to slaughter the whole city, so that no one could escape."

Another example, in the Battle of Anqing in the eleventh year of Xianfeng, Zeng Guoquan led the Hunan Army to capture the siege of Anqing , which had been besieged for two years.Zeng Guofan ordered Zeng Guoquan: "The army was robbed for three days", "The three bases were surrendered, and they were killed", and "all of them were flattened on the first day of the first day". Therefore, Hunan soldiers publicly robbed and raped, and killed everyone when they saw it. A total of more than 40,000 Anqing people were massacred, and Anqing also turned into an empty city.

Zeng Guofan not only encouraged his younger brother Zeng Guoquan to massacre the city, but also claimed to be "very happy" in his letters and diaries. No wonder the people of the two lakes called him "Zeng Shaved his head" and the people of southern Anhui called him "pounding his bones".

third place: Liu Bei

Liu Bei is known for his "benevolence, righteousness, love for the people" in both Storytelling Romance and in history. Unexpectedly, he also robbed soldiers.

When Liu Bei launched the battle to enter Shu, "there were less than ten thousand soldiers, the soldiers were not attached, the wild valley was the capital, and the army had no supplies." Therefore, Liu Bei suffered a lot of losses after this battle. So much so that there were even rumors that "Liu Bei is dead" on Cao Wei . "The Three Kingdoms: Biography of Wu Fan" records: "The people of Bei's troops are separated and die half of them will be defeated."

In order to achieve his contribution, Liu Bei had to adopt the method of "bringing carrots and sticks". He first seized the families of his soldiers, and then "draw a big pie" for them and made a promise.

According to the notes of "The Three Kingdoms: Biography of Liu Ba", "Biography of the Sages of Lingling": "After the attack on Liu Zhang , he made an appointment with the scholars: 'If the matter is settled, all things in the treasury will be gone without any precautions.' When he was taken over Chengdu, all the scholars gave up their swords and went to the collections to compete for treasures."

As the new ruler of Yizhou, Liu Bei naturally had the power to control the treasury, and it was natural that he allowed his soldiers to "compete for treasures". Therefore, this matter cannot be regarded as Liu Bei's "spun troops and plunder."

However, Liu Bei soon discovered that the amount of supplies in the treasury in the city was not enough to reward the soldiers under his command. In order to fill this "gap", Liu Bei had to let the soldiers take the gold and silver of the rich households in the city.

According to the "Zizhi Tongjian·Han Ji Fifty-Nine", "Prepare to Chengdu to receive the soldiers and tell them that there is a shortage of gold and silver, and let them take it themselves. The soldiers take the gold and silver in Shu city and return the grain and silk." The historian Hu Sansheng note said: "All the gold and silver in the city are all taken by the soldiers. As for the grain and silk, they will return it to their masters."

However, Liu Bei was still benevolent and righteous after all. Although he promised soldiers to plunder at will, this was limited. He only took gold and silver, and the grain and silk were not allowed to be occupied.

fourth-seventh place: Li Jing, Xu Shiji, Hou Junji , Li Shentong

Tang Dynasty should be the dynasty with the most famous generals who implemented the "singling soldiers and plunder" policy recorded in all dynasties, which should be related to Li Shimin 's approval of this policy.

Whether Li Shimin allowed soldiers to "rob" when he conquered the world is unknown, but when he conquered Goryeo, he did allow "robbery" to encourage morale.

" New Book of Tang " records that when Taizong attacked Goryeo, he fought to Baiyancheng . The defenders resisted fiercely. Tang army could not capture it for a long time, which made Li Shimin furious. He immediately ordered that after the city was broken, the soldiers could rob the soldiers for three days, and the women of property were allowed to divide the soldiers. After the order was issued, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty began to attack the city with their lives. In less than two days, the defenders of Baiyancheng asked Taizong to surrender, and Li Shimin immediately agreed.

However, the soldiers who attacked the city stopped doing it, and General Xu Shiji led several troops to argue with Li Shimin in the future. Xu Shiji's original words were: "The soldiers are fighting for arrows and stones, regardless of the dead, and they are greedy for the enemy. Now the city is drawn, but how can they be surrendered even more? The heart of a lonely warrior!" To put it bluntly, everyone is fighting so bravely, because the emperor, you can let go of the robbery after the city is broken, and you are about to capture the city and grab things. Who are we robbing you?

Seeing the excitement of the crowd, Li Shimin comforted his subordinates and said, "Your advice is very good, but I can't bear to let the soldiers burn, kill, loot. I will give you some money, even if I redeem this city."

Although Li Shimin did not "robb" Baiyan City in the end, his attitude was undoubtedly revealed, so most famous generals of the Tang Dynasty had the problem of "robbing soldiers and looting". For example, the God of War Li Jing, the Prince of Huai'an , the Prince of Huai'an , the Duke of England, Xu Shiji, the Duke of Chen, Hou Junji, etc.

"Old Book of Tang" records that in the second year of Wude, "Huai'an King's Divine Power attacked Liaocheng . When the food was gone, he asked to surrender, but his magic power was not allowed. The deputy envoy Cui Shigan persuaded him to grant him, and his magic power said, "The soldiers were exposed for a long time, and the thieves had no food and skills. They were defeated in the morning and evening. I should attack and show the prestige of the country. I will disperse their jade and silk to help the soldiers. If they accept their surrender, how can they reward them for their army? "Shigan said, "The Jiande has arrived. If the transformation is not settled, and the enemy is inside and outside, our army will be defeated. If the attack is not taken down, our army will be defeated. It is very easy to do his best, but why should he be greedy for his jade and silk without accepting it!’ The supernatural powers were angry and imprisoned Shigan in the army. ”

Li Shentong believed that the purpose of soldiers sleeping in the open was to defeat Yu Wen and later divide their property, so that they not only did not listen to the more favorable suggestions of appeaseing the deputy envoy Cui Shigan, but instead imprisoned him in the army, which demonstrated the importance of using spoils to inspire the morale of the army (the official statement of looting soldiers) in the Tang army.

"Old Book of Tang: Biography of Hou Junji" says: "Junji first defeated Gaochang, but he had not submitted a request. He was granted a guilty person and took treasures privately. The soldiers knew about it, and they came to steal it. Junji was afraid that he would cause trouble and dare not control it. When the capital was in charge, a minister asked to refute his crime and ordered him to be imprisoned." Because of this, the Minister of the Secretariat Cen Wenben submitted a memorial to Emperor Taizong, and listed similar deeds and endings of Li Guangli, Wang Rui, Han Qinhu and Han Qinhu, and finally released Hou Junji.

In Cen Wenben's view, Hou Junji's private hiding and condolence of soldiers stealing spoils is considered to be a common practice of famous generals in ancient and modern times, and Li Shimin also expressed his approval.

As a famous military strategist in the early Tang Dynasty, Li Jing often indulged his subordinates in killing the enemy and making money. For example, after Li Jing pacified the Eastern Turks, the censor once slandered him, "the army was not in charge, and the enemy was scattered in the hands of chaos." In order to motivate soldiers to maintain high combat effectiveness and encourage killing the enemy to make money, this is also reflected in Li Jing's military strategy. "Those who take advantage of the enemy are goods!", "The first thing to break the enemy to plunder; those who deceive the enemy and receive the goods will be killed."

Li Jing believes that to maintain the strong combat effectiveness and cohesion of the army, a large amount of rewards are necessary, so it is encouraged to kill the enemy to make money. After defeating the enemy, in order to maintain the military style and discipline, it is also required that the wealth obtained from robbery cannot be concealed.

No. 8: Zuo Liangyu

Zuo Liangyu is a famous general in the 2nd year of Chongzhen html. He was promoted to the general of the thief, the prince Shaobao, and the Marquis of Ningnan. However, his main target of conquest was not the Eight Banners of Manchuria in Liaodong , but the various peasant army in the pass, who were especially good at dealing with Zhang Xianzhong , and could even be said to be Zhang Xianzhong's nemesis.

In the 11th year of Chongzhen, Zhang Xianzhong attacked Nanyang . Zuo Liangyu led his army to fight, and two arrows shot Zhang Xianzhong on the shoulder, and almost killed Zhang Xianzhong. In two years, Zuo Liangyu met Zhang Xianzhong again, and now he directly included Zhang Xianzhong's wives and concubines and his subordinates.

Although Zuo Liangyu is very good at fighting, he has a very big problem. He can't afford to support the army, so he can't blame him completely. At that time, the Ming Dynasty finance and taxation were mostly on the military pay in Liaodong. How could he have money to give him Zuo Liangyu? What should I do if I don’t have money? The answer is to rob the people if the court doesn’t give it to.

In the 15th year of Chongzhen, Zuo Liangyu stationed in Wuchang and asked for food and wages from the local King of Chu. The King of Chu did not give it to him. Zuo Liangyu simply did it and robbed the troops in Wuchang City. Even the ships passing by the canal were robbed. Of course, more than one Wuchang was robbed by Zuo Liangyu. Later, he retreated to Jiujiang and took the lead. All the governors and governors from all over the place were not easy to use with him. As long as he didn't pay, he would just start robbing him.

But robbery is nothing more than drinking poison to quench thirst. If the people are robbed by the officers and soldiers, they will definitely be thrown into the peasant army, or even the Qing army going south. As a result, there are more and more enemies and fewer people in their own lives, so the battle cannot be supported.

Because of this, Zuo Liangyu was eventually charged with "bravely abuse the people". After Chongzhen hanged Coal Mountain, Zhu Yousong succeeded to the throne in Nanjing, and Zuo Liangyu was responsible for guarding Wuchang. At this time, Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng were in power in the court, and they excluded the Donglin Party members.Zuo Liangyu belonged to the Donglin Party and had personal ambitions. So he started an army from Wuchang in March of the second year of Shunzhi and marched into Nanjing in the name of clearing the ruling dynasty, hoping to control the government. Unfortunately, he died of illness in the Jiujiang boat soon, and his son Zuo Menggeng led his troops to the Qing Dynasty.

ninth place: robbing soldiers and robbing addicted Wang Zhenye

Everyone may not be familiar with Wang Zhenye, but when it comes to his grandfather - the "first person to win Zhuge" recognized by historians of all ages, Former Qin Prime Minister Wang Meng , everyone is familiar with it.

Although Wang Zhene is not very famous in history, he is a rare famous general in history who has "no success in his life"!

Wang Zhene is different from Wang Meng's honesty. He is not only a greedy person who is lustful, but also a martial arts tycoon who is addicted to robbing soldiers and robbing innocent people during the battle. According to historical records, Wang Zhene always couldn't help but robbing soldiers and harassed innocent people during the war, and even repeatedly resisted the emperor's orders. In desperation, he dared to scold the emperor's nickname. It is precisely because of this great ambition and arrogance that this peerless war god was shocked by the master, and was jealous of others, and finally died of a slut, which made future generations sigh.

Wang Zhene was born on the Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of the fifth month. At that time, May was also called " Evil Month ", so Wang Meng named him "Zhen Evil". After the defeat of the Former Qin Dynasty, the Wang family fell into trouble. The thirteen-year-old Wang Zhene and his uncle Wang Yaonan fled to Jingzhou in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. After that, Wang Zhene followed his uncle to learn military strategies and strategies. Later, the local governor recommended him to Liu Yu, a powerful minister of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and later Emperor Wu of the Southern Song Dynasty. Soon Liu Yu discovered that he was a rare genius and praised him to his close friends, saying, "Zhen E is the grandson of the Dragon King Jingluo! He can be said to be a general in the general!" Not long after, Liu Yu asked him to be the central army of his Taiwei Mansion.

Under Liu Yu's attention, Wang Zhene was in a smooth journey. He first led the army alone to quell the rebellion of Wu Dou Miluxun, and then led his army to defeat Liu Yi, the governor of Jiangjing and two prefectures, the three main forces of Liu Yu's biggest competitor at that time, and the three main forces of Beifu Bing .

Wang Zhene was very brave in fighting, often leading by example, and being injured was common. According to the "Book of Jin", Wang Zhene was the first to lead by example in the battle of Jingzhou where Liu Yi defeated Liu Yi, and his spear was shot off. Liu Yu was amazed by this and appointed him as the commander of Anyuan Army and the inner historian of Wuling. He also granted the title of Viscount of Hanshou County with a fief of 500 households.

Wang Zhenye's first robbery occurred during the process of attacking the ethnic minorities in the southern region. At that time, Xiang Bo, the leader of the southern barbarian tribe, was an enemy of the Jin Dynasty, so Liu Yu sent Wang Zhene to attack. Before leaving, Wang Zhene and Jingzhou Governor Sima Xiu agreed that the two of them supported each other. Sima Xiu sent his general Zhu Xiang to lead his army to help Wang Zhene suppress the rebellion.

Unexpectedly, soon after, Liu Yu broke up with Sima Xiuzhi. Liu Yu first killed Sima Xiu's son Sima Wenbao, and then sent troops to the west to attack Sima Xiuzhi.

Wang Zhenye heard the news and said to the generals under his command: "The Grand Marshal Liu has led his troops to attack Xiuzhi, and Zhu Xiang's reinforcements who helped us Pingwan have naturally become traitors. We cannot be merciful. When we see Zhu Xiang, we will suddenly attack and kill him without saying a word. Otherwise, we will be attacked and killed by the enemy from both sides and will undoubtedly die!" Although the generals felt that it was unkind to treat the reinforcements like this, the military orders were like a mountain, and each was his master, so they had to obey Wang Zhenye's arrangements. Zhenye saw the thoughts of the generals and was afraid that they would not be able to make a move on the spot, so he ordered the soldiers to fill the soil and rocks on the road that Zhuxiang must pass, and drowned the river water. When Zhuxiang's troops arrived, Zhenye broke the dike and released the water, drowned all his men and horses. Then he ordered the army to shoot arrows at the drowning Zhu Xiang's troops. Not long after, he dragged Zhu Xiang ashore and beheaded on the spot. At the same time, he killed more than a thousand undrowned people. The bodies were found in front of the barbarian tribe, and all the local barbarians were shocked.

After killing Zhu Xiang, the barbarians surrendered, and Wang Zhene was extremely proud, so he indulged his troops and horses to rob everywhere. In order to collect various precious jade artifacts, he even exceeded the deadline for the troops to return to the court.

When he arrived in Jiangling, Sima Xiuzhi had been driven out of Jingzhou by Liu Yu. Liu Yu was very angry because Wang Zhen's evil came, and he never met him.Wang Zhene smiled at the panicked general and said, "Don't worry! Unless Mr. Liu doesn't see me, we have nothing to worry about as long as we see me!"

A few days later, Liu Yu climbed the Jiangling City Tower and saw Wang Zhene quarreling with others under the city. Hearing the conversation between them was very funny, and Wang Zhene's expression was extremely exaggerated. Liu Yu laughed and immediately called him to come and pay homage, so he threw all his anger out of the sky.

Later, Liu Yu took advantage of the civil strife in the Former Qin Dynasty to fight against the Central Plains and appointed Wang Zhene as General Longxiang as the vanguard of the Northern Expedition.

Wang Zhenye army once passed Yangtze River and quickly advanced towards Chang'an. They fought all the way and were defeated. No army in the Later Qin, Nanyan , and the Northern Dynasty could withstand his sharp guns and axes. He killed from Hulao Pass to Baiguwu, and then to Mianchi. The kings of the Five Barbarians and Sixteen Kingdoms sighed to the sky under his sword edge, helpless!

But Wang Zhenye ran for thousands of miles and marched too fast, which led to his army being quite tired when he arrived at Tongguan, the first fortress of Chang'an. In addition, the logistics supply could not keep up, the soldiers were short of food and clothing, and there were many complaints. Wang Zhen was disgusted and upset, so he sent troops to Hongnong County to rob military rations.

But Tongguan is not a day to go, and the plundered food and grass were exhausted within a few days. Wang Zhenye sent someone to urge the food and grass to Liu Yu's army, who was blocked by the road by Northern Wei . Liu Yu sent someone to reply: "I said I had not waited for me to come to Luoyang , don't advance so quickly and go deep into Guanzhong . Now I am blocked by the Wei army in the south of the Yellow River. On the shore, how do you send troops to send food? "But Wang Zhene's "war addiction" is the leader, and he still sends people to urge food. When Liu Yu ignored him, he was angry and shouted Liu Yu's nickname in front of the messenger and cursed: "Jinu said I was untrustworthy! But I want to blame him for Liu Jinu for misleading me!"

Later, Wang Zhene continued to rob everywhere, and the commander of Tongguan Yao Shao happened to die of illness. Wang Zhene took the opportunity to motivate his soldiers and attacked the city with his life. In the end, the eternal heroic pass was captured by him with barbaric power.

After Liu Yu defeated the Northern Wei Dynasty, he wanted to angrily accuse Wang Zhene of violating military orders, but when he saw him desperately conquering the city and territorial areas, he turned anger into joy and praised him in all kinds of praise.

Later, Wang Zhene defeated the Five Barbarians Army in the North, captured Chang'an City , and helped Liu Yu unify the Central Plains.

In 417 AD, Liu Yu was afraid that something would happen in Jiangnan, so he decided to return east. Before the army returned, Liu Yu appointed his second son, Guiyang Gong, who was only twelve years old, as General Anxi and Governor of the two prefectures of Yong and Qin; Wang Zhene was the general of the general of the expedition, Sima of Anxi and the prefect of Fengyi, and stationed in Chang'an with Liu Yizhen.

Wang Zhene has always been incompatible with the middle army who stayed behind Shen Tianzi . Shen Tianzi has also said bad things about Wang Zhene in front of Liu Yu many times, so Wang Zhene hates him very much.

After Liu Yu left, the Huns king Xia, the king of Hexi, Helian Buddha and the king of Later Qin, Yao Xingshi, came to attack Chang'an one after another. Liu Yizhen sent Shen Tianzi to lead troops to resist, but he did not expect that the boss of Xia, the Buddha and Buddha were too strong, and Shen Tianzi was defeated, so he sent someone to ask Wang Zhenye for emergency rescue.

Wang Zhene has always looked down on Shen Tianzi, so he naturally refused to send troops to rescue him. Shen Tianzi had no choice but to bow to Wang Zhene for a while. When he faced Wang Zhene, he also agreed to his preferences and made an appointment with him to go to the army of Fu Hong, saying that he would offer all the treasures he had captured in Guanzhong.

Wang Zhenye had the only word "greed" in his life. When he heard that Shen Tianzi was so humble, he agreed to meet and receive gifts before he could make a living. So he went to the meeting. When he arrived at Fu Hong's camp, Shen Tianzi asked the people who were leaving the left and right to unbox and inspect the treasure.

When Wang Zhenye was overjoyed, he was not prepared, and abandoned the people around him outside the tent and entered alone. At this time, Shen Tianzi suddenly ordered the tent to come out together and behead Wang Zhene on the spot. A famous general fell in mid-air, and was only forty-six years old. After

, Shen Tianzi beheaded all seven of Wang Zhenye's cousins, and then sent people to Chang'an City to report to Liu Yizhen that Wang Zhenye's rebellion had been rectified on the spot.After Liu Yizhen learned about it, he was shocked and angry. With the begging of Wang Zhenye Chief Wang Xiu and his general Wang Zhi, he lured Shen Tianzi into the city and beheaded on the spot to sacrifice to Wang Zhenye's spirit.

Later, Liu Yizhen could not defend Chang'an, abandoned the city and fled south, returned to Jiankang, and reported all the changes to Liu Yu. Liu Yu was also very heartbroken and submitted a request to the Eastern Jin court to posthumously award Wang Zhene the Left General and the Governor of Qingzhou. Later, he founded the country and became emperor and established the Liu Song Dynasty. He also thought of Wang Zhen'e's great martial arts, and once again posthumously named him the Marquis of Longyang County and gave him the posthumous title of "Zhuang".

Zeng Guofan ordered Zeng Guoquan: "The army was robbed for three days", "The three bases were surrendered, and they were killed", and "all of them were flattened on the first day of the first day". Therefore, Hunan soldiers publicly robbed and raped, and killed everyone when they saw it. A total of more than 40,000 Anqing people were massacred, and Anqing also turned into an empty city.

Zeng Guofan not only encouraged his younger brother Zeng Guoquan to massacre the city, but also claimed to be "very happy" in his letters and diaries. No wonder the people of the two lakes called him "Zeng Shaved his head" and the people of southern Anhui called him "pounding his bones".

"The Three Kingdoms: Biography of Wu Fan" records: "The people of Bei's troops are separated and die half of them will be defeated."

fourth-seventh place: Li Jing, Xu Shiji, Hou Junji , Li Shentong

"Old Book of Tang: Biography of Hou Junji" says: "Junji first defeated Gaochang, but he had not submitted a request. He was granted a guilty person and took treasures privately. The soldiers knew about it, and they came to steal it. Junji was afraid that he would cause trouble and dare not control it. When the capital was in charge, a minister asked to refute his crime and ordered him to be imprisoned." Because of this, the Minister of the Secretariat Cen Wenben submitted a memorial to Emperor Taizong, and listed similar deeds and endings of Li Guangli, Wang Rui, Han Qinhu and Han Qinhu, and finally released Hou Junji.

In Cen Wenben's view, Hou Junji's private hiding and condolence of soldiers stealing spoils is considered to be a common practice of famous generals in ancient and modern times, and Li Shimin also expressed his approval.

As a famous military strategist in the early Tang Dynasty, Li Jing often indulged his subordinates in killing the enemy and making money. For example, after Li Jing pacified the Eastern Turks, the censor once slandered him, "the army was not in charge, and the enemy was scattered in the hands of chaos." In order to motivate soldiers to maintain high combat effectiveness and encourage killing the enemy to make money, this is also reflected in Li Jing's military strategy. "Those who take advantage of the enemy are goods!", "The first thing to break the enemy to plunder; those who deceive the enemy and receive the goods will be killed."

Li Jing believes that to maintain the strong combat effectiveness and cohesion of the army, a large amount of rewards are necessary, so it is encouraged to kill the enemy to make money. After defeating the enemy, in order to maintain the military style and discipline, it is also required that the wealth obtained from robbery cannot be concealed.

No. 8: Zuo Liangyu

Zuo Liangyu is a famous general in the 2nd year of Chongzhen html. He was promoted to the general of the thief, the prince Shaobao, and the Marquis of Ningnan. However, his main target of conquest was not the Eight Banners of Manchuria in Liaodong , but the various peasant army in the pass, who were especially good at dealing with Zhang Xianzhong , and could even be said to be Zhang Xianzhong's nemesis.

In the 11th year of Chongzhen, Zhang Xianzhong attacked Nanyang . Zuo Liangyu led his army to fight, and two arrows shot Zhang Xianzhong on the shoulder, and almost killed Zhang Xianzhong. In two years, Zuo Liangyu met Zhang Xianzhong again, and now he directly included Zhang Xianzhong's wives and concubines and his subordinates.

Although Zuo Liangyu is very good at fighting, he has a very big problem. He can't afford to support the army, so he can't blame him completely. At that time, the Ming Dynasty finance and taxation were mostly on the military pay in Liaodong. How could he have money to give him Zuo Liangyu? What should I do if I don’t have money? The answer is to rob the people if the court doesn’t give it to.

In the 15th year of Chongzhen, Zuo Liangyu stationed in Wuchang and asked for food and wages from the local King of Chu. The King of Chu did not give it to him. Zuo Liangyu simply did it and robbed the troops in Wuchang City. Even the ships passing by the canal were robbed. Of course, more than one Wuchang was robbed by Zuo Liangyu. Later, he retreated to Jiujiang and took the lead. All the governors and governors from all over the place were not easy to use with him. As long as he didn't pay, he would just start robbing him.

But robbery is nothing more than drinking poison to quench thirst. If the people are robbed by the officers and soldiers, they will definitely be thrown into the peasant army, or even the Qing army going south. As a result, there are more and more enemies and fewer people in their own lives, so the battle cannot be supported.

Because of this, Zuo Liangyu was eventually charged with "bravely abuse the people". After Chongzhen hanged Coal Mountain, Zhu Yousong succeeded to the throne in Nanjing, and Zuo Liangyu was responsible for guarding Wuchang. At this time, Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng were in power in the court, and they excluded the Donglin Party members.Zuo Liangyu belonged to the Donglin Party and had personal ambitions. So he started an army from Wuchang in March of the second year of Shunzhi and marched into Nanjing in the name of clearing the ruling dynasty, hoping to control the government. Unfortunately, he died of illness in the Jiujiang boat soon, and his son Zuo Menggeng led his troops to the Qing Dynasty.

ninth place: robbing soldiers and robbing addicted Wang Zhenye

Everyone may not be familiar with Wang Zhenye, but when it comes to his grandfather - the "first person to win Zhuge" recognized by historians of all ages, Former Qin Prime Minister Wang Meng , everyone is familiar with it.

Although Wang Zhene is not very famous in history, he is a rare famous general in history who has "no success in his life"!

Wang Zhene is different from Wang Meng's honesty. He is not only a greedy person who is lustful, but also a martial arts tycoon who is addicted to robbing soldiers and robbing innocent people during the battle. According to historical records, Wang Zhene always couldn't help but robbing soldiers and harassed innocent people during the war, and even repeatedly resisted the emperor's orders. In desperation, he dared to scold the emperor's nickname. It is precisely because of this great ambition and arrogance that this peerless war god was shocked by the master, and was jealous of others, and finally died of a slut, which made future generations sigh.

Wang Zhene was born on the Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of the fifth month. At that time, May was also called " Evil Month ", so Wang Meng named him "Zhen Evil". After the defeat of the Former Qin Dynasty, the Wang family fell into trouble. The thirteen-year-old Wang Zhene and his uncle Wang Yaonan fled to Jingzhou in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. After that, Wang Zhene followed his uncle to learn military strategies and strategies. Later, the local governor recommended him to Liu Yu, a powerful minister of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and later Emperor Wu of the Southern Song Dynasty. Soon Liu Yu discovered that he was a rare genius and praised him to his close friends, saying, "Zhen E is the grandson of the Dragon King Jingluo! He can be said to be a general in the general!" Not long after, Liu Yu asked him to be the central army of his Taiwei Mansion.

Under Liu Yu's attention, Wang Zhene was in a smooth journey. He first led the army alone to quell the rebellion of Wu Dou Miluxun, and then led his army to defeat Liu Yi, the governor of Jiangjing and two prefectures, the three main forces of Liu Yu's biggest competitor at that time, and the three main forces of Beifu Bing .

Wang Zhene was very brave in fighting, often leading by example, and being injured was common. According to the "Book of Jin", Wang Zhene was the first to lead by example in the battle of Jingzhou where Liu Yi defeated Liu Yi, and his spear was shot off. Liu Yu was amazed by this and appointed him as the commander of Anyuan Army and the inner historian of Wuling. He also granted the title of Viscount of Hanshou County with a fief of 500 households.

Wang Zhenye's first robbery occurred during the process of attacking the ethnic minorities in the southern region. At that time, Xiang Bo, the leader of the southern barbarian tribe, was an enemy of the Jin Dynasty, so Liu Yu sent Wang Zhene to attack. Before leaving, Wang Zhene and Jingzhou Governor Sima Xiu agreed that the two of them supported each other. Sima Xiu sent his general Zhu Xiang to lead his army to help Wang Zhene suppress the rebellion.

Unexpectedly, soon after, Liu Yu broke up with Sima Xiuzhi. Liu Yu first killed Sima Xiu's son Sima Wenbao, and then sent troops to the west to attack Sima Xiuzhi.

Wang Zhenye heard the news and said to the generals under his command: "The Grand Marshal Liu has led his troops to attack Xiuzhi, and Zhu Xiang's reinforcements who helped us Pingwan have naturally become traitors. We cannot be merciful. When we see Zhu Xiang, we will suddenly attack and kill him without saying a word. Otherwise, we will be attacked and killed by the enemy from both sides and will undoubtedly die!" Although the generals felt that it was unkind to treat the reinforcements like this, the military orders were like a mountain, and each was his master, so they had to obey Wang Zhenye's arrangements. Zhenye saw the thoughts of the generals and was afraid that they would not be able to make a move on the spot, so he ordered the soldiers to fill the soil and rocks on the road that Zhuxiang must pass, and drowned the river water. When Zhuxiang's troops arrived, Zhenye broke the dike and released the water, drowned all his men and horses. Then he ordered the army to shoot arrows at the drowning Zhu Xiang's troops. Not long after, he dragged Zhu Xiang ashore and beheaded on the spot. At the same time, he killed more than a thousand undrowned people. The bodies were found in front of the barbarian tribe, and all the local barbarians were shocked.

After killing Zhu Xiang, the barbarians surrendered, and Wang Zhene was extremely proud, so he indulged his troops and horses to rob everywhere. In order to collect various precious jade artifacts, he even exceeded the deadline for the troops to return to the court.

When he arrived in Jiangling, Sima Xiuzhi had been driven out of Jingzhou by Liu Yu. Liu Yu was very angry because Wang Zhen's evil came, and he never met him.Wang Zhene smiled at the panicked general and said, "Don't worry! Unless Mr. Liu doesn't see me, we have nothing to worry about as long as we see me!"

A few days later, Liu Yu climbed the Jiangling City Tower and saw Wang Zhene quarreling with others under the city. Hearing the conversation between them was very funny, and Wang Zhene's expression was extremely exaggerated. Liu Yu laughed and immediately called him to come and pay homage, so he threw all his anger out of the sky.

Later, Liu Yu took advantage of the civil strife in the Former Qin Dynasty to fight against the Central Plains and appointed Wang Zhene as General Longxiang as the vanguard of the Northern Expedition.

Wang Zhenye army once passed Yangtze River and quickly advanced towards Chang'an. They fought all the way and were defeated. No army in the Later Qin, Nanyan , and the Northern Dynasty could withstand his sharp guns and axes. He killed from Hulao Pass to Baiguwu, and then to Mianchi. The kings of the Five Barbarians and Sixteen Kingdoms sighed to the sky under his sword edge, helpless!

But Wang Zhenye ran for thousands of miles and marched too fast, which led to his army being quite tired when he arrived at Tongguan, the first fortress of Chang'an. In addition, the logistics supply could not keep up, the soldiers were short of food and clothing, and there were many complaints. Wang Zhen was disgusted and upset, so he sent troops to Hongnong County to rob military rations.

But Tongguan is not a day to go, and the plundered food and grass were exhausted within a few days. Wang Zhenye sent someone to urge the food and grass to Liu Yu's army, who was blocked by the road by Northern Wei . Liu Yu sent someone to reply: "I said I had not waited for me to come to Luoyang , don't advance so quickly and go deep into Guanzhong . Now I am blocked by the Wei army in the south of the Yellow River. On the shore, how do you send troops to send food? "But Wang Zhene's "war addiction" is the leader, and he still sends people to urge food. When Liu Yu ignored him, he was angry and shouted Liu Yu's nickname in front of the messenger and cursed: "Jinu said I was untrustworthy! But I want to blame him for Liu Jinu for misleading me!"

Later, Wang Zhene continued to rob everywhere, and the commander of Tongguan Yao Shao happened to die of illness. Wang Zhene took the opportunity to motivate his soldiers and attacked the city with his life. In the end, the eternal heroic pass was captured by him with barbaric power.

After Liu Yu defeated the Northern Wei Dynasty, he wanted to angrily accuse Wang Zhene of violating military orders, but when he saw him desperately conquering the city and territorial areas, he turned anger into joy and praised him in all kinds of praise.

Later, Wang Zhene defeated the Five Barbarians Army in the North, captured Chang'an City , and helped Liu Yu unify the Central Plains.

In 417 AD, Liu Yu was afraid that something would happen in Jiangnan, so he decided to return east. Before the army returned, Liu Yu appointed his second son, Guiyang Gong, who was only twelve years old, as General Anxi and Governor of the two prefectures of Yong and Qin; Wang Zhene was the general of the general of the expedition, Sima of Anxi and the prefect of Fengyi, and stationed in Chang'an with Liu Yizhen.

Wang Zhene has always been incompatible with the middle army who stayed behind Shen Tianzi . Shen Tianzi has also said bad things about Wang Zhene in front of Liu Yu many times, so Wang Zhene hates him very much.

After Liu Yu left, the Huns king Xia, the king of Hexi, Helian Buddha and the king of Later Qin, Yao Xingshi, came to attack Chang'an one after another. Liu Yizhen sent Shen Tianzi to lead troops to resist, but he did not expect that the boss of Xia, the Buddha and Buddha were too strong, and Shen Tianzi was defeated, so he sent someone to ask Wang Zhenye for emergency rescue.

Wang Zhene has always looked down on Shen Tianzi, so he naturally refused to send troops to rescue him. Shen Tianzi had no choice but to bow to Wang Zhene for a while. When he faced Wang Zhene, he also agreed to his preferences and made an appointment with him to go to the army of Fu Hong, saying that he would offer all the treasures he had captured in Guanzhong.

Wang Zhenye had the only word "greed" in his life. When he heard that Shen Tianzi was so humble, he agreed to meet and receive gifts before he could make a living. So he went to the meeting. When he arrived at Fu Hong's camp, Shen Tianzi asked the people who were leaving the left and right to unbox and inspect the treasure.

When Wang Zhenye was overjoyed, he was not prepared, and abandoned the people around him outside the tent and entered alone. At this time, Shen Tianzi suddenly ordered the tent to come out together and behead Wang Zhene on the spot. A famous general fell in mid-air, and was only forty-six years old. After

, Shen Tianzi beheaded all seven of Wang Zhenye's cousins, and then sent people to Chang'an City to report to Liu Yizhen that Wang Zhenye's rebellion had been rectified on the spot.After Liu Yizhen learned about it, he was shocked and angry. With the begging of Wang Zhenye Chief Wang Xiu and his general Wang Zhi, he lured Shen Tianzi into the city and beheaded on the spot to sacrifice to Wang Zhenye's spirit.

Later, Liu Yizhen could not defend Chang'an, abandoned the city and fled south, returned to Jiankang, and reported all the changes to Liu Yu. Liu Yu was also very heartbroken and submitted a request to the Eastern Jin court to posthumously award Wang Zhene the Left General and the Governor of Qingzhou. Later, he founded the country and became emperor and established the Liu Song Dynasty. He also thought of Wang Zhen'e's great martial arts, and once again posthumously named him the Marquis of Longyang County and gave him the posthumous title of "Zhuang".
