Cheng (589? 665) Han nationality, a native of Dong 'e Turtledove Store in Jeju, China (now Turtledove Store in Dongping County, Shandong Province), was a founding star of the Tang Dynasty, formerly known as Bite Gold, and later renamed Zhijie, a general of the Tang Dynasty, named Lu Guogong, one of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyange Pavilion, and the nineteenth hero of Lingyange Pavilion. Cheng is also a character in novels and films. The film and television works describe the story that Cheng was forced to seize the road for his livelihood, and then gathered with 18 heroes in Wagang Village to resist the violent Sui Dynasty. Cheng is a lucky general, and his three-board axe is quite powerful.
? Cheng is on his way? ,? Into a three-pronged axe? China people are familiar with these two proverbs. If it weren't for these two common sayings, it is estimated that when it comes to Cheng Zhijie, except the scholars who study history, they will definitely look at a loss, and almost no one knows who it is. So, popular.
According to historical records, Cheng? Don't try to be brave, make good use of the stable. ? ("Old Tang Book"? (Biography of Cheng Zhijie) At the end of Sui Dynasty, Yang Di Yang Guang ruled brutally, lived in luxury and debauchery, and year after year, he built large-scale buildings and sent troops overseas. Heavy corvee and military service made the fields barren and the people miserable, and eventually a large-scale peasant uprising broke out. After the uprising, the number of insurgents has grown to more than 100, with 654.38+million each, but the scale is not very large and there is no political goal at the same time. It's basically a mobile operation, looting everywhere. Cheng therefore rallied the heroes in the village to protect the village for the rebel army. This shows that his origin should be the landlord class.
After seven years of war, the peasant uprising army gradually overcame the regional concept, dispersed and regrouped, and moved towards unity. In the 13th year of the Great Cause, three powerful insurgents were formed nationwide, namely, the Wagang Army led by Zhai Rang and Shimi, the Hebei Insurgents led by Dou Jiande and Liu Heita, and the Jianghuai Insurgents led by Du and Fu Gongyou. By this time, Cheng's self-protection troops could no longer sustain themselves in a place like this. Finally, they defected to the Wagangjun of Shi Biao's department.
Wagangjun was originally founded by Zhai Rang, a native of the Acropolis in Dongjun (now southeast of Xunxian County, Henan Province), and has crushed the repression of the Sui Dynasty many times. In the 12th year of Daye (6 16), Shimi, a descendant of Sui nobles who participated in the Yang Xuangan Uprising, came to Wagangzhai. Shi Mi was good at strategy, which made Wagang Army win a series of victories. Zhai Rang took the initiative to push Shimi as the mainstay and took the title of Gong Wei. After Shi Biao came to power, his political ambitions became increasingly exposed. In order to take power for himself, he brought in new entrants such as Cheng, Liu and others, treating them as two people? Internal army? A title of generals in ancient times Internal army? Did Shi Biao choose 8000 from the army? Who is a brave soldier? , belonging to the four ancient generals, is divided into two teams, the main task is to protect Shi Biao. Shi Biao was very satisfied with the internal army and often said: These 8,000 people can be millions. ? ("Old Tang Book"? (Biography of Cheng Zhijie) Since then, Cheng changed his name to. In October of the 13th year of Great Cause (6 17), when the contradiction between the old and new forces of Wagang Army gradually sharpened, Shi Biao took the lead, designed and killed Zhai Rang, and took power.
In September of the first year of Tang Wude (6 18), the commander-in-chief of Luoyang in the Sui Dynasty selected more than 20,000 elite soldiers, stationed troops to the south of Tongji Canal (now Mengxian County, Henan Province), and built three bridges on the canal to fight the Wagang Army. Shi Mi fought with Wang at the southern foot of Mangshan Mountain. Cheng Zhijie led the Inner Ma Army and camped with Shi Biao in North Mangshan (now north of Luoyang, Henan Province), while Dan led the Outer Ma Army and camped in the north of Yanshi (now east of Yanshi, Henan Province). When Wang's troops arrived, they immediately sent hundreds of cavalry to attack Dan. Shi Biao sent Cheng Zhijie and Pei Hangyan to help. Pei Xingyan took the lead in rushing to the enemy line, and as a result, Zhong Yan fell off his horse. Cheng Zhijie went to the rescue and killed several people. Wang's army retreated a little. He took the opportunity to clean up Pei Hangyan and retreated. Said the horse carrying two people, overwhelmed, was overtaken by the king's army. Cheng Zhijie could not bear to leave PeiHangYanYan no matter, but he was stabbed. Did you go through the hole? , turned around and broke the slimming, beheaded the enemy of slimming under the horse, Wang Jun did not dare to chase, and they returned to the army respectively. In this war, due to the unfavorable command of Shi Biao, the Wagang Army, including Cheng Zhijie and Pei Hangyan, suffered heavy losses. Soon, Shi Biao was defeated and surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, and the Wagang Rebel Army failed.
After the defeat of the Wagang army, many generals (including) were desperate and fell to the king. After Wang got the peace, it was very thick. Even so, both of them were dissatisfied with Wang's deception. I once said to Qin: The world is shallow and narrow, but it is full of lies, so it is easy to call names. This is a witch's ear. Is it the main thing to stir up chaos? ? ("Old Tang Book"? (Biography of Cheng Zhijie) Qin felt the same way, so he began to look for opportunities to leave Wang.

In the second year of Wude (6 19), on February 19th, Wang Lingbing invaded Tangguzhou (Zhi Xin 'an, now Henan), and Wang was appointed as the general, Qin as the general of Longxiang. Wang He fought in Jiuqu (now northwest of Yiyang, Henan). , Qin, Wu Heita, Jin Niu Da, etc. all dressed up for battle, led dozens of cronies to ride horses, ran a hundred paces to the west, dismounted and bowed to the king? The Dutch people received it and were eager to repay the favor. The speculation of one word is surrounded by many fans, which is very confusing. This is not a place where servants can take care of themselves. I hereby offer my resignation. ? ("Old Tang Book"? (Biography of Cheng Zhijie) Later, he defected to Tang Jun, and Wang was awed by their fame and dared not pursue them.
