Emperor Taizong was also good at calligraphy, writing tablets line by line, and was the originator of later generations. Famous works include Ming in Hot Springs and Ming in Jinci. After his death, Wang Xizhi, a great calligrapher in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, wrote Preface to Lanting Collection as a funerary object. Li Shimin is the second son of Tang Gaozu Tang Gaozu. Born in martial arts (now northwest of Shaanxi martial arts). He has been practicing martial arts since childhood, is good at riding and shooting, is skilled in martial arts, and is decisive in the face of the situation. In the 11th year of the Great Cause of Sui Dynasty (665,438+05), Emperor Yang Di was besieged by 654.38+million Turks in Yanmen (now Daixian County, Shanxi Province), and people all over the world recruited Yun Dingxing, the general of Tunwei, to go to the rescue and put forward a fake Zhang Junrong, raising flags for dozens of miles during the day and beating drums at night to correspond to suspicious soldiers. At that time, reinforcements from Dongdu and various counties also arrived in Xinkou (now north of Xinxian County), forcing Turks to leave after Khan's clearance. In the thirteenth year, the peasant uprising swept across the country at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and the powerful people in various places were divided into counties and counties, and the Sui Dynasty collapsed. Li Yuan, who stayed in Taiyuan, took the opportunity to join the army, and the people actively participated in the planning and played an important role. In June, he built an army with his brother to attack Xihe River (now Fenyang), and won the first battle, prompting Li Yuan to decide to go west to Guanzhong. As the right commander-in-chief, unify the right three armies. In July, I went south with Li Yuan from Taiyuan (now southwest of Taiyuan). On the way, Tang Gaozu once wavered. He wanted to go back to his teacher and make more plans. Shimin insisted on continuing to March and put forward the general plan of entering Xianyang first and ordering the world. In August, when attacking Huoyi (Huozhou), we first led the Qingqi to the city gate, lured the Sui Shoujiang Song Laosheng into battle, and then led a ride to his side, cooperated with Tang gaozu, built a frontal attack, chopped the Song Laosheng and took the city away. In September, the army arrived in Hedong (southwest of Yongji county), urging the army to quickly enter Chang 'an (now Xi 'an). So he was ordered to lead the former army to cross the Yellow River westward and successfully occupied the area north of Weihe River. The strongmen of all ethnic groups flocked to the military gate to join the army, and several peasant insurgents also joined in, and their strength quickly grew to 65.438+0.3 million. In November, the army will conquer Chang 'an. Li Yuan made the king emperor. Shimin was named King of Qin. 1February, led the troops to crush 65,438+10,000 people led by Xue Ju, a separatist force in Longyou, in Fufeng (now Fengxiang, Shaanxi). In the first month of the following year, Marshal Ren You and Marshal Ren You led more than 100,000 troops to Luoyang, the eastern capital. In April, I went to Luoyang and sent an envoy to summon a letter, but the defenders should not. Shimin thought that Guanzhong was newly established and not yet consolidated. Although it was possible to capture the eastern capital, it was difficult to hold it, so he led the army back. It is expected that Sui Jun will seize the opportunity to pursue, that is, ambush on the road, break the pursuer of General Duan Da of Sui Dynasty, and set up Xin 'an and Yiyang counties (now governing Xin 'an East and Yiyang West in Henan Province).
