Lai Huer, whose courtesy name is Chongshan, is from Jiangdu. Young and eccentric, he likes to set up strange festivals. When I first read "Poetry", when I read "beating drums and boring, enthusiastically using troops" and "decorated with lambs, fur and leopards, Kongwu is powerful", he put down the book and sighed: "This is what a real man should do in this world. He will kill thieves for the country to gain fame, An An I can only serve Longmu for a long time!" The people were shocked by his words and strengthened their ambitions. The nursing home lives in Baitu Village, close to the river bank. At that time, when the south of the Yangtze River was in Shangzhu, He Ruobi was in charge of Shouzhou. He often ordered Hu'er to be a spy and was given the title of Grand Governor. During the Battle of Pingchen, he performed a great job in protecting his children, and he ascended the throne to open a mansion. From Yangsu, Gao Zhizhi was attacked in Zhejiang, and the thieves occupied the shore and set up camp. For more than a hundred miles in circumference, the ships were blocked by the river and advanced with great noise. Su ordered Hu'er to lead hundreds of light boats to the river bank, directly cover his camp and break it. At that time, the thieves were unable to win the battle with Su, and they had no home base, so they collapsed. Wisdom will flee to the sea, and he will protect his son and chase him to Quanzhou. Wisdom will be poor, and he will escape to Fujian and Yue. The generals were promoted, except for the governor of Quanzhou. At that time, Shengdao Yan supported his troops to cause chaos and invaded the state border. Hu'er attacked and defeated it. Then Li Kuan, the Duke of Pushan, defeated Wang Wen and advanced to Yi and She, advancing to Zhu state. In the third year of Renshou's reign, in addition to the governor of Yingzhou, he was granted the title of Huangxian Duke and three thousand households in the city. Search and add Zhuguo, and remove the right guard general. When Emperor Yang ascended the throne, he moved to the right to serve as General Xiaowei, whom the Emperor respected very much. In the sixth year of Daye's reign, he drove to Jiangdu and gave him thousands of gifts, ordered him to visit the tombs of his ancestors, entertained his parents and elders, and made them honored in the state. When he was a few years old, he turned to General Yiwei. During the Battle of Liaodong, Hu'er led the ship to the sea, entered the Ziba water, and went sixty miles to Pyongyang to meet Korea. Attack and defeat them, take advantage of the victory to build the city and destroy its walls. As a result, the army plundered and lost a few troops. Gao Yuan's younger brother Jianwu recruited 500 people who dared to die and invited them to attack. Because of this, the guardian camped at Haipu, waiting for the meeting. Later, he learned that Yu Wenshu and others were defeated, so he took charge of the army. Next year, they went out to Canghai Road and moved to Donglai. They met with Yang Xuangan and rebelled against Liyang. They advanced on Gong and Luo and defeated them with Hu'er Lebing and Yu Wenshu. He was granted the title of Rong Guogong and had two thousand households in the city. Ten years later, he led his troops across the sea and reached the city of Beishe. The whole country of Goryeo came to fight, and Hu'er defeated them and beheaded more than a thousand people. When the general visited Pyongyang, Gao Yuan was frightened and sent an envoy to the rebel minister Hu Sizheng to the Liaodong city to ask for surrender. The emperor promised that he would send people to protect his son and his master with the imperial edict. Hu'er gathered the crowd and said: "We have sent out troops three times but failed to quell the thieves. We have to return this and we cannot do it again. Today, Korea is in a difficult situation and there is no green grass in the fields. We can defeat them in a short time with all our troops. I want to advance my troops and encircle Pyongyang. Take the false master and return with victory. "I asked him to do it, but he refused to obey the imperial edict. Cui Junsu, the chief minister, insisted on fighting and refused to allow it. Hu'er said: "The thieves' power has been broken. I have to take charge of the task and handle it on my own. I am outside, and I have decided everything. How can I allow someone thousands of miles away to listen to the rules? In a short time, opportunities are lost, and efforts are in vain. Therefore, It's appropriate. I would rather conquer Gao Yuan and be punished, but I can't do it without success." Jun Su told the crowd: "If you follow the marshal and refuse the imperial edict, you will be punished. "The generals were frightened and tried to persuade them to return, and then they began to obey the imperial edict. In the thirteenth year, he was promoted to General Zuo Yiwei and promoted to Kaifu Yitong Sansi. His appointments were more than secret and the rewards before and after were incalculable. The difficulties in Jiangdu were caused by Yu Wenhua's taboos.
Translation
Lai Huer’s courtesy name is Chongshan and he is from Jiangdu. He was distinguished from others in his childhood and loved to be curious about things. I just read the Book of Songs, and when I read the verses "Beat the drums and drill, and use the troops enthusiastically" and "The lambs, fur and leopards are decorated, the Kongwu is powerful", I put down the book and sighed: "This is what a real man should be like when he is alive! I want to serve the country. Killing enemies and making great achievements, how can you die in the fields doing nothing?" His companions were surprised when they heard this and admired his ambition.
The Baitu Village where Lai Huer lives is very close to the bank of the Yangtze River.
At that time, there were still barriers south of the Yangtze River. When He Ruobi was guarding Shouzhou, he often sent his guardian as a spy and granted him the official position of governor.
In the battle to pacify Chen State, Lai Huer made meritorious service and was promoted to Shangkaifu.
He followed Yang Su to attack Gao Zhijiang in Zhejiang. The enemy troops set up camps on the river bank, stretching for more than a hundred miles. The river was covered with large and small warships, beating drums and shouting for the advance.
Yang Su ordered Lai Hu'er to lead hundreds of light boats, go straight to the river bank, and go straight to the enemy camp to cover up and defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.
At that time, the enemy army fought with Yang Su and could not win. When they retreated, they had no foothold, so they were defeated and fled.
Gao Zhihui was about to flee to the sea, and Lai Huer chased him to Quanzhou. Gao Zhihui had no choice but to flee to Minyue.
Lai Huer was promoted to general and appointed governor of Quanzhou.
At that time, a man named Sheng Daoyan gathered a crowd to rebel and invaded and harassed the state. Lai Huer led his troops to attack and defeated the rebels.
Following Pu Shanggong Li Kuan, he defeated Wang Wenjin in Yi and She, and was promoted to Zhuguo.
In the third year of Renshou (603), he was appointed governor of Yingzhou and given the title of Duke of Huang County, with a settlement of 3,000 households. Soon after, he was promoted to Shangzhu Kingdom and appointed as the general of Youyuwei.
When Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty came to the throne, Lai Huer was promoted to General You Xiaowei. The emperor treated him very close and respected him.
In the sixth year of Daye (611), he followed the emperor to Jiangdu. The emperor gave him a thousand pieces of cloth and asked him to go to his ancestral graves to worship his ancestors and entertain the elders in the village. All the prefectures, counties and villages considered it very honorable.
A few years later, he was transferred to General Youyiwei.
During the Battle of Liaodong, Lai Huer led the building boat, pointed directly to the sea, entered the Pubei River, sixty miles away from Pyongyang, and met the Koreans.
Lai Hu'er marched to attack and defeated the Koreans. They took advantage of the victory and pursued them directly to the city and broke through their outer city.
Lai Huer then encouraged the army to loot and loot, and the discipline of the army gradually relaxed.
Gao Yuan's younger brother Jianwu recruited a death squad of 500 people to fight against Lai Hu'er. Lai Hu'er therefore retreated and set up camp in Haipu, waiting for an opportunity to counterattack.
Later, I learned that Yu Wenshu and others had been defeated, so he returned to the court with his troops.
The next year, troops were sent to the Canghai area. The army was stationed in Donglai. They caught up with Yang Xuangan's rebellion in Liyang and marched to Gong and Luo. Lai Hu'er led his troops to join Yuwenshu and defeated the rebels.
The emperor therefore named him the Duke of Rongguo, with two thousand households.
In the tenth year of Daye (614), he led his troops across the sea and arrived at Beishe City. All the people from Goryeo came to fight. They came to protect their children and defeated the Goryeo people, killing more than a thousand people.
When he was about to march to Pyongyang, Gao Yuan was very scared and sent an envoy to take Hu Sizheng, the rebel general of the Sui Dynasty, to the gate of Liaodong City and wrote a letter requesting surrender, and Emperor Yang agreed.
Emperor Yang sent someone to take the talisman to summon the guardian back to his teacher.
Lai Hu'er summoned everyone and said: "Three times we sent out troops, but we failed to put down the enemy. It is impossible to come back this time."
Now the Korean people are embarrassed and exhausted, and there is no grass in the fields. With my troops fighting, I can defeat them in no time.
I want to send troops to directly besiege Pyongyang and capture their leader, so that I can go back and show victory to the emperor. He requested to send troops, but refused to return according to the emperor's order.
Chief Shi Cui Junsu tried his best to argue with Lai Huer, but Lai Huer refused.
Lai Huer said: "The enemy's momentum has been defeated. As long as the army is under my command, it will be enough to punish them.
I am outside the court, and I can be alone when things happen. Decision, how can you be subject to rules when you are thousands of miles away! The opportunity is lost in an instant, and the work is in vain, so the work should be in vain.
I would rather conquer Gao Yuan and be blamed when I go back. I can't achieve the great feat." Cui Junsu said to everyone: "If you follow the marshal and disobey the imperial edict, I will definitely tell the emperor that you will all be punished." The generals were frightened and persuaded Laihu'er to go back. Only then did the son return to the court according to the order.
In the thirteenth year of Daye (617), he was promoted to General Zuo Yiwei and promoted to the Third Division of Kaifu Yitong. The emperor appointed him more and received countless rewards.
During the Jiangdu Incident, Yu Wenhuaji murdered him out of jealousy
