Why is Tang Taizong Li Shimin called the most capable king of war?

When Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, was not yet the emperor, he fought everywhere to recover the frontier, he was a man who could write and martial arts, and finally ascended to the throne after the Xuanwumen incident.

First of all, calling Li Shimin the most capable emperor is not to say that his martial arts are very strong, but that under his rule, the world of the Tang Dynasty was the largest and most prosperous time in history.

Because Tang Taizong Li Shimin had many fierce generals, they never failed in war, so they are known as the most capable kings.

Although Li Shimin was only the second emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin contributed to the establishment of Li Tang, and some people even commented that his achievements were still above Li Yuan, the ancestor of the Tang Dynasty. Li Shimin showed a good military talent when he was young, he was good at riding and archery since he was a child, and he also rescued Emperor Yang of Sui at Yanmen Pass. After Li Yuan established the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin was named the king of Qin, after which he led the army to pacify Xue Rengao, Liu Wuzhou and others, and made countless military exploits for the Tang Dynasty to complete the unification.

Why is Li Shimin leading troops to fight so powerful? Let's introduce Li Shimin's magic weapon for winning on the battlefield, let's learn about it together.

Speaking of Li Shimin, we know that he was the second emperor of the Tang Dynasty. There are many descriptions of Li Shimin in "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties", and the general idea is that this is a great monarch. In fact, putting aside what happened after Li Shimin became the monarch, Li Shimin can be said to be absolutely capable of fighting when he was the prince.

**There are many descriptions of this aspect in the romance, but there are elements of expansion.

But when the Tang Dynasty was first established, Li Shimin did fight for the Tang Dynasty, and he was often invincible. Li Shimin's invincibility is related to many factors, such as knowing people and making good use of them, and using troops more effectively. However, he often rushed into the enemy camp alone, or with a very small number of men, in a way that others could not do.

The fact that Li Shimin led people to storm the enemy camp is clearly recorded in the history books, and it has been more than once. Roughly speaking, Li Shimin often rushed to the enemy camp with dozens or fewer people. And it can come back in good condition.

It can be said that this practice has brought many benefits to Li Shimin's war.

First of all, Li Shimin personally rushed into the enemy camp, so that he could learn more about the enemy's reality and reality. In ancient times, in the situation of information asymmetry, a lot of information on the battlefield could not be obtained accurately and in a timely manner. Li Shimin personally led his troops to rush into the enemy camp, and he could clearly understand many of the enemy's conditions.

You can really be a confidant.

The second is to boost your own morale. If the generals take the lead in the charge during the battle, then the morale of the people below will be even stronger. And the leader takes the lead in the charge There is another advantage, once the leader comes back intact, it will make the people below more convinced of themselves.

I think this general is very powerful, and I agree with it even more. In this way, you can lead troops higher.

The last thing is to give the enemy a certain impact. When the enemy knows that it is the lord of the place who rushes into his tent, and the enemy knows about it, the impact is greater. On the one hand, the enemy commander does not know how to judge this person.

There is also one that has a greater impact on the enemy's soldiers. Enemy morale will drop. As you say, once you are exhausted, once your morale drops, you will be exhausted.

No matter how many people you have, the battle will not be easy to fight after that.

In fact, the reason why Li Shimin was able to fight the war was related to many factors. And this is only one of the points, but it can be said that the impact is very large. Because many generals can't do that.

Li Shimin was born on January 28, 598, and died on July 10, 649, that is, Taizong of Tang (reigned from 626 to 649), Shi Sou was born in the annex of Wugong (now Wugong, Shaanxi), the second son of Tang Gaozu Li Yuan and Empress Dou, the second emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and an outstanding politician, strategist, military strategist, and poet.

Li Shimin joined the army as a young man and once went to the Yan Brigade to talk about raising the gate to rescue Emperor Yang of Sui. After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin's official residence was Shang Shuling, the right military general, and was named the Duke of Qin, and the later Jin was named the King of Qin, and successively led his troops to pacify Xue Rengao, Liu Wuzhou, Dou Jiande, Wang Shichong and other warlords, and made great achievements in the establishment and unification of the Tang Dynasty.
