There was such a war in the history of the Tang Dynasty, which not only produced a generation of famous soldiers, but also produced a short-lived resurgence situation, and also produced classic works of three great writers.
This battle is the battle of Caizhou, also known as the battle of Pinghuai and Xixi. After this battle, the three great writers at that time, Liu Zongyuan, Han Yu and Liu Yuxi, all wrote classic poems and articles.
Today we will talk about this battle and the works of Liu, Han and Liu.
In 817 AD, the Tang Dynasty's war against the rebellion in Jiezhen, Huaixi, reached the last moment. Since the Anshi Rebellion was put down, our envoys in all parts of the Tang Dynasty were still arrogant, refused to obey the imperial court's dispatch, and went their own way, among which Huaixi Jiezhen was the most serious. At that time, Wu Yuanji, the main commander of Huaixi Jiezhen, openly confronted the central authorities, and fought against the main forces of the Tang Dynasty in the area with Cai Zhou as the core for several years.
Li Su, a famous soldier, chose the elite for Tang Jun's repeated defeats and waited for time. On a stormy night, Li Su attacked Cai Zhou with thousands of elite, broke through the enemy fortified city in one fell swoop, and captured Wu Yuanji alive. Then the Huaixi Army surrendered and the war ended.
Cai Zhou's wartime was the key battle of Pinghuai West in the Tang Dynasty. After this war, the rebellion in Huaixi was flat-bottomed, and our local envoys were shocked and expressed their loyalty to the Central Committee of the Tang Dynasty.
Tang Xianzong, the emperor at that time, was quite prosperous, and the majesty of the Tang Dynasty was once again established.
It was after such a battle that Liu Zongyuan, Han Yu and Liu Yuxi wrote articles, poems and praises one after another.
Liu Zongyuan wrote "Offering a Table of Peace and Elegance", saying, "I have seen that since your majesty acceded to the throne, Xiazhou has been leveled, Jiannan has been reduced, Jiangdong has been taken, and Hebei has been settled. Today, it comes from the heart of nature, and it is right, but "Daya" does not work. "
Han Yu was ordered to write the classic "Pinghuai Xibei", which was overthrown because it did not show Li Su's achievements, which is quite legendary.
Liu Yuxi wrote "Three Poems of Ping Cai Zhou", saying that "there is no fire in the south peak, and the Muling Pass is not locked when you travel at night. After the ceremony, the world will be peaceful, and the warriors will look at Hengshan with their swords. "
The three writers are full of joy, and their heroic feelings are overflowing.
The reason why Liu Zongyuan, Han Yu and Liu Yuxi are so excited about the battle of Caizhou is not simply to "flatter" the emperor, but to show their true feelings.
There were endless glories in the Tang Dynasty. However, since the Anshi Rebellion, the central authority disappeared, and the battle of Pingcaizhou was a heavy blow to the separatist provinces. If it can be maintained like this, it is not impossible for the Tang Dynasty to restore its prosperity.
Liu Zongyuan, Han Yu and others yearn for the prosperous times of the Tang Dynasty and remember the heroic style of their predecessors. Now they see hope, and naturally they are in a passionate mood, which is hard to restrain.
The three writers' true feelings at that time were "Presenting an Elegant Table for Huai and Yi", "Pinghuai Xibei" and "PingCai Zhou Three Poems".
However, the battle of Caizhou only came to light. After that, Tang Xianzong lost his spirit and became complacent, and never played as brilliantly as the battle of Caizhou.
ZTE in the Tang Dynasty has also become a mirage, and the lofty sentiments of the three great poets have also failed.
