Jinling Evening News reported that Xuejia Natural Village, Qiaoli Village, Yaxi Town, Gaochun County, is an ordinary mountain village with only more than 10 households. Interestingly, the villagers here are basically surnamed Xue, and they basically have the same ancestor. In the Xue family tree they have kept so far, Xue Rengui's affairs are also recorded, and some villagers also seriously said that they are still related to Xue Rengui, the general of the Tang Dynasty.

Villager Xue Xiuli is 64 years old this year, and the Zhongshan Xue family tree is kept in his house. There are a total of 21 copies, and when Xue Laohan took them out from the bottom of the box on the second floor, he was very careful. The family trees look relatively new, and Xue Laohan said that the 21 genealogies were all refurbished the year before last, and the original old genealogies were burned by fire, and these new genealogies were still ripped from a village in neighboring Lishui County.

In his eyes, there are more people surnamed Xue in Lishui, there are more than 2,000 people, and the family tree is relatively complete. "We are here and the Xue family on the Lishui side are the same ancestor, and our family tree is also counted from the first life on the Lishui side. He introduced that in the twentieth century, a branch of the Xue family moved from Lishui to Yaxi Town, Gaochun County.

On Gao Chun's side, there are more than 20 generations in my generation, and if you count from Lishui's side, it will be 47 generations in my generation. According to the Xue family, there are only about 10 families in their Xue Family Natural Village, all of whom have moved from Lishui a long time ago.

The genealogy records the events and lists of the Xue family from generation to generation. Xue Xiuli said that his name is also in the family tree, ranking in the 47th generation of the "Xiu" generation. Xue Xiuli opened the family tree, and one page of the family tree was lined up from top to bottom with the words filial piety, friendship, Wan, Dai, Yong, Chang, Yu, Xiu, etc., Xue Xiuli said that these words were all ranked from generation to generation, and the descendants could not change them, so they were named according to this.

Moreover, in the genealogy, the celebrities of the ancestors related to the Xue family are also recorded, which specifically mentions Xue Rengui, a general born as a peasant in the Tang Dynasty. Xue Xiuli said that Xue Rengui is a celebrity among the ancestors of their Xue family, although they are not necessarily direct blood relatives, but as Xue Rengui's descendants, they are still very proud.

On the sixth day of the sixth month of the lunar calendar, on this day, their Xue family has the custom of posting family trees. "The bloodline of the Xue family has spread all over Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai and other places, and every year on the sixth day of the sixth lunar month, we have to post the family tree to prevent the family tree from rotting and moth-eaten. The Xue family also introduced that when the conditions were not good in the past, the Xue family repaired the family tree once in 80 years, and now when the conditions are good, it is a family tree once every 30 years, and the purpose of their family tree repair is to pass on the family tree from generation to generation.

Xue Rengui is a native of Xiu Village, Longmen County, Jiangzhou, Shanxi Province.

Historical truth. The love story between Xue Pinggui and Wang Baochuan is roughly as follows: According to legend, Wang Baochuan is the third daughter of Wang Yun, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, and she is naturally beautiful, smart and virtuous.

When she reached the age of marriage, she looked down on the sons of many princes and nobles, but she fell in love with Xue Pinggui, who was doing rough work at home. After throwing hydrangeas in Cailou, she chose Xue Pinggui. Unexpectedly, his father hated the poor and loved the rich, and resolutely refused to allow it.

In desperation, she broke off the father-daughter relationship with her father after three high-fives, married Xue Pinggui and lived in a cold kiln. Later, Xue Pinggui joined the army and went to Xiliang, and Wang Baochuan guarded the cold kiln for 18 years. In the past 18 years, Wang Baochuan has been poor and sick, dug up all the wild vegetables around him, and lived hard for the sun and the moon.

Xue Pinggui has experienced many risks, and has been repeatedly plotted by Wei Hu, who covets Wang Baochuan's beauty, and at the same time, he has repeatedly overcome difficulties and made great achievements. Later, Xue Pinggui married the princess of Xiliang Kingdom and became the lord of Xiliang Kingdom. After 18 years, he returned and met with Wang Baochuan Hanyao, and named Wang Baochuan as the queen of the main palace, with a happy ending.

Historical truth.

Xue Rengui, famous gifts, the word benevolence, there is indeed a person in history, a native of Hejin City, Shanxi Province, Longmen, Jiangzhou in the Tang Dynasty, born on the 18th day of the 10th lunar month in 614 AD, and died on the 21st day of the second lunar month in 683 AD in the second year of Yongchun of Tang Gaozong, at the age of 70. He was brave and good at fighting all his life, and made many miraculous feats, and was the official to the general of the right Weiwei and the protector of Anton, and was named the prince of Pingyang County. His deeds of conquest are recorded in the "Old Tang Book", "New Tang Book", and "Zizhi Tongjian".

The Battle of Dafeichuan.

From April to August of the third year of Tang Zongzhang (the first year of Xianheng, 670), in the war between Tang and Tufan, Tang and Tubo fought an important battle in Dafeichuan (now Cheji Kuyuan, southwest of Qinghai Republic) in order to fight for the four towns of Qiuci, Shule, Khotan, and Yanqi (now Kuqa, Kashgar, Hotan, and Yanqi in Xinjiang).

In the second year, Tibet took Gar Zannie Dobu as his prime minister, and his younger brother and famous general Gar Qinling commanded troops to be stationed in Tuyuhun to strengthen control over the Heyuan region (now Xining, Qinghai) and seek opportunities to advance eastward. In three years, Qinling led an army of 400,000 to the north, first taking Khotan and Shule, and then swinging east into Qiuci, and then capturing several towns west of Yanqi, which shook the position of the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions. On the ninth day of the fourth month, the Tang Dynasty took Xue Rengui, the general of the Left Guard (one said the right Weiwei), as the general of the Luo Suo Road March, and the right (one said the left) guard of the foreign general Ashina Daozhen and the left guard general Guo Zhifeng as their deputies, leading 50,000 troops (one said more than 10 thousand) to counterattack the Tubo army, in order to recapture the four towns of Anxi, and "protect Tuguhun to return to the country" ("New Tang Dynasty Book: Tubo Biography").

Xue Rengui led his army through Shanzhou (the western capital, now Ledu, Qinghai) to Dafeichuan in Hunan, Qinghai. Xue Rengui knew very well that the Tubo army had many generals and a wide range of soldiers, and they were waiting for work, and the Tang army had to fight quickly to win the battle. Wuhai (now Kara Lake, Qinghai) is far away, and it is inconvenient for heavy vehicles and horses to travel, and it is easy to lose fighters, so Guo Beifeng led 20,000 people to guard the baggage, grain and grass, so that it can set up a fence on the Dafei Ridge and build fortifications, making it a frontier position that can be attacked, retreated, and defended.

Subsequently, Xue Rengui immediately led the main force and rushed lightly. The two armies met at the mouth of the river (present-day Maduo, Qinghai). The Tubo army was caught off guard and was defeated, losing more than 10,000 cattle and sheep.

Xue Rengui took advantage of the victory to occupy Wuhai City and waited for backup. However, after Guo Zhifeng relied on the famous general Guo Xiaoke, he refused to accept Xue Rengui's control, led the rear team to advance without authorization, and failed to meet the coach in time. The Tubo army seized the fighter plane and invited more than 200,000 people to attack its troops.

Xue Rengui was forced to surrender to Dafeichuan. In August, the Tubo army, under the command of Qinling, forced the Tang army to fight a decisive battle with more than 400,000 troops. Xue Rengui had no danger to rely on, let alone food and grass, and was defeated, almost all of the army was wiped out, and Xue Rengui and others "made peace with Qinling" ("Tongjian" volume 201).

This was the biggest defeat in foreign warfare since the founding of the Tang Dynasty. After the war, the Tibetan army occupied the four towns of Anxi. The Tang Dynasty was forced to abolish the four-town system, and the Anxi Protectorate was moved to Xizhou (Zhigaochang, now Turpan, Xinjiang), and Tuyuhun was also incorporated into Tubo and became its other department.

Since then, there have been frequent conflicts between Tang and Tibet, and troops have been used for many years to fight fierce offensive and defensive battles.

Comments: In this battle, the Tubo army avoided the real and the virtual, did not directly confront the elite of the Tang army, but after cutting off its grain and grass, it concentrated superior forces to win the victory; The Tang army went out from afar, and the troops were not enough, the supply was not smooth, especially the generals in the army were not in harmony, and the deputy general Guo Zhifeng violated the military order without permission, insisted on going his own way, and finally fell into defeat.
