Perhaps most of my friends met Wang Xiaojie through the film and television drama De Renjie. Wang Xiaojie in the play is loyal and brave, but he is short-tempered and a little arrogant, but he dares to take responsibility if he really does something wrong. Many netizens are curious about the real Wang Xiaojie in history, so let's talk about this famous Tang Dynasty this time. Wang Xiaojie was a right-wing general in the Wu Zetian period. During the period, he repeatedly made military exploits, not only defeated Tubo, but also recovered the four towns of Qiuci, Yanqi, Yutian and Shule. It can be said that Wang Xiaojie has made outstanding achievements and outstanding abilities all his life.

First, Wang Xiaojie and Zhao designed to attack the Khitan on both sides, but the plan leaked out and the battle was defeated in the stone valley of Dongxia. After fleeing back with beaten army, he first killed his generals, and then almost shot De Renjie's beloved Li Yuanfang in order to find a so-called Turkish spy Tucun.

Facing Di Renjie, he not only didn't meet Di Renjie immediately, but also was very arrogant.

Under the instigation of Lieutenant Su Honghui, he thought that Di Renjie would attack himself and run away. As a result, he fell into a circle designed in advance by Su Honghui, the lieutenant who betrayed him, and was captured by Qidan soldiers posing as Turks, becoming a veritable traitor.

But our detective Di Renjie made a survey, and after careful thinking and strict logical reasoning, he came to the conclusion that Wang Xiaojie was not a general who collaborated with the enemy, but was framed and fell into the hands of the enemy.

At this point, Li Yuanfang put aside the past, broke through many uneven lines, and rescued Wang Xiaojie from the Turkish camp.

From then on, Wang Xiaojie was grateful to Di Renjie, and very grateful. He destroyed the Khitan, cut off the head of Li Dezhong, the leader of the Khitan, moved troops back to the DPRK, and gave the wine given by Emperor Wu Zetian to Di Renjie. This shows that at this time, Wang Xiaojie respects and loves Di Renjie, and is grateful from the heart.

However, in real history, is this really the case?

Speaking of the real Wang Xiaojie in history, he is both a very lucky person and an unfortunate person.

Said he was lucky, it was in 678 AD, Tang Jun and Tubo fought in Qinghai and Africa, and Tang Jun was defeated. Wang Xiaojie was arrested. At that time, the Tubo emperor Zampa Chisongzan was still a child. Seeing that Wang Xiaojie looks particularly like his father, he called him Dad, which made the Tubo ministers only treat Wang Xiaojie well and treat him like a distinguished guest.

Wang Xiaojie is probably the best-paid prisoner in history. Later, Datang reconciled with Tufan, and Tubo sent him back to Datang like a VIP.

From this perspective, Wang Xiaojie is a very lucky person. If not, it is estimated that Wang Xiaojie, a great Tang Dynasty star, would be missing in history.

To say that he was unlucky means that in real history, he did lose in the battle of Ishiguro in Dongxia and finally fell off a cliff and died, but that was because he was incompetent and afraid of death.

In 696 AD, Li Zhongyu, the leader of the Qidan, was in the Tang Dynasty. After Li's death, his wife and younger brother Sun Wanrong continued to lead the rebels.

In 697 AD, the Khitan entered Hebei Province, and Wu Zetian was reinstated as the general manager of the Qingbian Road March, with Su Honghui as the lieutenant, and led the army180,000 soldiers to attack the Khitan.

On March 12, Su Honghui and Wang Xiaojie met with Sun Wanrong, a Khitan, in Dongshixia Valley. Due to the narrow canyon, there are many Qidan troops outside the canyon ahead. Wang Xiaojie personally led a small number of elite foot soldiers as strikers, fought and fought bravely, rushed out of the canyon, and arranged soldiers in a phalanx to fight the enemy.

But at this moment Su Honghui was afraid, because there were too many enemies, and he ran away. Tang Jun's main force in the rear didn't follow up and didn't come to support.

In fact, Su Honghui didn't dare to fight or escape at that time, but there was a man dragging his hind legs. This man is Wu Youyi, the nephew of Wu Zetian.

Although Wu Zetian was a queen at that time, she was always afraid that others would create her own rebellion, and she was not at ease with anyone, especially the military power. So after the Khitan anti-Tang Dynasty, Wu Zetian thought about it and gave it to her family.

His nephew Wu Youyi was appointed as the general and general manager of the right Wuwei crusade against Qidan. As a result, he was a man with neither military strategic thinking nor courage, leading 200,000 troops who dared not fight with the Khitan.

Wu Zetian had no choice but to appoint Wang Xiaojie as the general manager of the frontier clearance road to attack the Khitan.

Now Wu Youyi, a coward, only leads 30,000 people to guard Yuyang, and he is even more afraid that the Khitan will call. I heard that Wang Xiaojie was brave in fighting ahead and even more afraid of enemies coming from behind, so he refused to let Su Honghui lead the troops to fight.

As a result, Wang Xiaojie was alone, outnumbered and fell off a cliff and died.

In this sense, Wang Xiaojie devoted himself to the battle ahead, only because an incompetent samurai lost his support and finally lost his life.

Therefore, in real history, Wang Xiaojie is a real hero, a hero who died for his country.
