Li and Li He are members of the Tiele family. His surname is Qi Li and his first name is Li He. Tiele was a nomadic people in the north at that time, and often clashed with Tuyuhun. Qi Heli was born in a family of Tiele Khan and is the grandson of Tiele Khan. When he was nine years old, his father died, so he became a candidate to succeed Tiller Khan.
Since then, Li Heli has become Tiele Khan, and his name has been simplified into the big Li notation. In 630 AD, the East Turkistan was eliminated in the Tang Dynasty, and the Tiele tribe became stronger and stronger. In 632 AD, Qi Heli led his mother and nearly a thousand Tiele tribes of his own tribe to surrender to the Tang Dynasty. At that time, Emperor Taizong was Li Shimin, and Li Shimin placed them between Ganzhou and Liangzhou, and made Qi Heli the left general.
In 633 AD, Qi Heli, who descended from the Tang Dynasty, conquered Tuguhun with Li Daliang, the secretariat of Liangzhou, and Xue, the general.

After Qi Heli's death, Li Shimin posthumously awarded him as an assistant general, with the governor of the annex state, and asked to be buried with Zhaoling, so that posthumous title could hunt Germany. Princess Lintao is the daughter of the royal family in Li Shimin. She married Qi Heli, which shows that Li Shimin attaches great importance to her.
Stand out from everyone's achievements
As a famous soldier in the Tang Dynasty, Qi Heli's most important achievement was to defeat Tuyuhun and destroy Goguryeo. So how did Qi Heli defeat Tu Youyou?
In 633 AD, Li Daliang and Qi Heli, the governors of Liangzhou, together with General Xue and others, set out to conquer Tuguhun. In May 635, Tang Jun entered Chishui River. General Xue and his brother led a group of cavalry, but they were surrounded by Tu Guhun's army. General Xue and his younger brother were shot, fell off their horses and fought on foot. Most of the cavalry who followed them were killed or injured.
Qi Heli, who was stationed in Chishuichuan, immediately led hundreds of cavalry rescue advance troops. General Xue and finally saved their lives in a bloody battle of cavalry led by Qi Heli. At the same time, general stubbornness defeated the Tuyuhun army in Ruchuan; Li Daliang defeated the Tubo army in Shu Soul Mountain and captured 20 famous Tubo soldiers.
Under the leadership of Li Jing, the soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty arrived at the western border of Tuguhun. Tu nationality is a nomadic people in the desert. Soldiers living inland in the Tang Dynasty drank horse blood when they were thirsty. At this time, the news that Fu Yun, the Tuyuhun monarch, wanted to flee from Toulon River to Khotan reached Tang Jun. In view of the previous siege, General Xue stopped the idea of pursuing 56 victories together, but insisted on directly destroying the Tuyuhun people's lair when they gathered. He personally selected 1000 cavalry as Tu Runchuan and General Xue. Tang Jun, led by Qi Heli, broke the tooth account of Tuyuhun, the monarch of Tuyuhun. In this way, Tuguhun was defeated.
Li Heli's story
Many things have happened in Li Heli's life, and there is a story about Li Heli.
It is said that during the period from 66 1 to 663, Liang Zheren, the minister of grain, was in charge of the construction of Daming Palace. He planted poplars in Daming Palace and stood upright and said, "This tree is very good and grows fast. It will grow into a big tree that can enjoy the cool in a few years. " In this regard, Li He did not answer him, but recited the poem "Many poplars hate Taiwan, and Mix is worried about killing people". Qin's words made it suddenly dawned on him that he wanted to pull out the poplar he planted and replant the tung tree.
So, why is this happening? "Poplar hates Taiwan, Mix worries about killing people" comes from 19 anonymous ancient poems in the Eastern Han Dynasty, which means that poplars scream in the strong wind and worry about killing people in the cold autumn. The full text of this poem is: "The day of the dead is sparse, and the day of the living is near. Guo Zhi looked out of the door and saw mountains and rocks. The tiller is the field, and the pine and cypress are paid. Poplar hates Taiwan, rustling is so sad! I miss my hometown and want to go home for no reason. " Since then, poplars generally represent images related to death and graves, and some elegies and eulogies also use poplars to express their grief, especially in the Tang Dynasty.
However, Qi Heli lived in the Tang Dynasty, when Liang Zheren, then Minister of Grain, planted poplars in Daming Palace. Although he took a fancy to the characteristics of poplar "good growth", he ignored the image represented by poplar. People say "a companion is like a tiger". If Li Shimin thinks of this meaning of poplars, Ren Liang's life will inevitably be in danger. It can be said that Qi Heli saved Scarlett Shao Qing's life.
