Xiao _, whose ability is not inferior to that of a military god, Li Jing and loyalty are comparable to those of a loyal minister, is both loyal and brave, and has made great contributions to saving the Tang Dynasty, but his fame is not great. Unfortunately, his life is not known.
Li Sheng, a native of Lintan, Zhou Tao, was the ancestor of Xiping Hall in Longxi County, the prime minister and strategist of the Tang Dynasty, and was awarded the title of King of Xiping County for his high work. After his death, he was canonized as a Taishi, and posthumous title was loyal to the martial arts.
Li Sheng experienced four emperors, Xuanzong, Suzong, Daizong and Dezong, and witnessed the prosperity of Kaiyuan. He also saw that the Tang Dynasty was ravaged by the Anshi Rebellion, and the buffer regions were everywhere. Li Sheng, who was originally a descendant of Li in Longxi, couldn't help feeling sad when he saw the decline of Li Tang's rivers and mountains. During his life, Li Sheng fought many times and made many contributions. Almost every promotion is stepping on the meritorious military service.
Li Sheng joined the army at the age of 18. He was heroic. Playing Tubo with Wang Zhongsi, a famous soldier, was called ten thousand enemies by Wang Zhongsi, and his reputation gradually rose. At this time, it was the prosperous time of Kaiyuan, and the national strength of Datang was at its peak. Compared with the East Gate of Song Dynasty, the champion was a good player. Cen Can, a famous poet, only became famous for a while, which exhausted the voices of countless Tang people. Unlike the civil servants in Song Dynasty who controlled the civil and military power, Datang paid attention to both civil and military power. A proud student wants to be as famous as Ban Chao.
He made meritorious service in the Tubo War and was appointed as the commander of the column by the then ambassador Gao Shengbu of Fengxiang Army.
The Diezhou Qiang and Liankuang Qiang who attacked the rebellion were promoted to General Zuo Yulin for their meritorious service.
In the early years of Guangde, Li Sheng was awarded special gold and secretary of Taichang Temple for his active crusade against Tangut.
In 769, Tubo invaded Lingzhou. He led thousands of people to surprise Tubo, wiped out Qinding Castle, captured Murong Guzhong, the commander of the castle, burned his accumulation, and forced Tubo to retreat from the surrounding area, thus solving the siege of Lingzhou. After the war, Li Sheng was named the third division of Kaifu Instrument, General Jin Wuyou, commander of Jingyuan, Si Town and Beiting.
Soon, Ma _ our envoy failed in prolonging the battle with the Tubo army. So he led the soldiers to rescue the horse, and Ma Yingong was named King of Hechuan.
In 779, Tang Dezong ascended the throne, and Tubo invaded Jiannan, which shocked Shu. Dezong ordered Li Sheng to lead the Shence Army to rescue. Li Sheng captured Feiyue and other three cities, defeated the Tubo and Nanzhao allied forces in Dadu River, and cut off their food and grass. Fannan allied forces were hungry and cold, and 890,000 people were killed.
Li Sheng at this time, already 52 years old. The Tang Dynasty, which was riddled with Anshi Rebellion, was squeezed out by the central authorities, making it a huge buffer region. Not only the border areas are restless, but also the buffer towns around the Tang Dynasty are equally self-respecting. The costume drama "Tang Dynasty Prosperity" tells the story of this period.

After Tang Dezong acceded to the throne, he tried to separate the vassal states, but soon it was difficult to serve the heaven, which is commonly known as the rebellion of two emperors and four kings.
At 78 1, Tian Yue took the lead in rebelling in Weizhou, Bozhou, Xiangzhou, Zhou Bei, Weizhou, Chenzhou and other places because of the Webb Festival. After Tian Yue's defeat, powerful warlords such as Li, Li Na, Li Na, and Li Yue successively launched rebellions.
Then Jingyuan mutinied. The rebels occupied Chang 'an, and Tang Dezong fled to Fengtian, surrounded by mutinous soldiers. Zhu _ proclaimed himself emperor in Chang 'an.
The emperor fled in a panic, and the rebels captured Chang 'an and called Zhu Emperor, which made the Tang Dynasty worse.
The disaster in Fengtian is no less than the Anshi Rebellion. In this war, four people were kings, two were emperors, Zhu Tao was Ji Wang, Wang was Zhao Wang, Tian Yue was Wang Wei, Li Na was Qi Wang, Zhu _ was Qin Wang and Li Xilie was Chu Wang, so it was also called the rebellion of two emperors and four kings.
At the beginning of the rebellion, they attacked the fields, facing the light, and broke Tian Yue in the water. In 782, Li Sheng defeated Tian Yuejun in Huanshui. Retreat due to illness, did not continue to March after recovery, Jingyuan mutiny occurred. He is like a fireman. Where there was a mutiny, he appeared there. Because of uniting Wang Jun from all walks of life, encouraging foot soldiers, formulating the correct strategy, taking advantage of the situation to attack continuously, Chang 'an was quickly recovered and Zhu's rebellion was put down.
In order to reward Li Sheng's contribution, in addition to promotion and knighthood, Dezong also wrote an inscription for Li Sheng at Dongweiqiao, and ordered the Crown Prince to copy an inscription for Li Sheng.
After recovering Chang 'an, Li Sheng considered that Jingzhou was close to the border and was the military center. However, this place was badly managed and many military disasters occurred. So I invited him to Jingzhou. So, Dezong ordered Li Sheng, Fengxiang, Longyou and Jingyuan, the deputy governors, to be the king of Xiping County and enter Jingzhou. Since then, Li Sheng has defeated the Tubo army many times to protect the peace of one side.
In March, 787, he was named Qiu and Zhongshuling to manage the affairs of Shangshu Province.
In 793, Li Sheng died at the age of 67. After sealing a surname, posthumous title presented loyalty and martial arts.
Li Sheng's Tomb is located in Gaoling District, Xi City, Shaanxi Province. The inscription was written by Pei Du, a great scholar, describing Li Sheng's lifelong contribution, and the writing was written by Liu Gongquan, a calligrapher, commonly known as the Three Juebei.
At the end of Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of Yuan Dynasty, Li Sheng was appointed as the temple pavilion of Dezong.
When Tang Xizong fled to Sichuan, Hao Yuan, the minister of Cangbu, collected Li Sheng's meritorious deeds and compiled the Records of Xingyuan Sacred Events to inspire the generals.
Pi Rixiu, a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty, said:
I love Li Taiwei, and I will rise to the Central Plains. Xiao Xiong has100000 soldiers and is surrounded by the country. Take Ji Wang in World War I and dispel the evil spirit in World War I.. Anyway, I took advantage of the fierce struggle between Yu and the deceased. The towering pillars are outstanding and stirring. Different people have different opinions.
