Xu Shiji

(later renamed Li Shiji, Li Ji) was born in the Xu family of Shangfang, the northern ancestor of Gaoping. Originally, he was born in Lihu, Caozhou (now Dongming, Heze, Shandong). At the end of the Sui Dynasty, he moved to Weinan County, Huazhou (now Southeast of xunxian County, Henan Province). Xu Shiji's family is rich. In history, Xu Shiji and his father Xu Gai were both charitable people, helping the poor, regardless of their relationship.

At the end of Daye (605-618) of emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty, Xu Shiji, who was 17 years old, joined zhairang's Wagang army. He advised Zhai rang: "you and my hometown are nearby. It's not suitable to intrude. Song and Zheng states are close to the Yuhe River, and there are many business trips. It's very convenient to go there to plunder official and private money and goods. " Zhai rang said he was good, so it was useless to rob public and private property on the canal. If you have money, you will have no shortage of people. Soon the army was greatly boosted, and there were more than 10000 apprentices. At this time, Zhang xutuo, a famous general of the Sui Dynasty, led more than 20000 people to attack. Zhai rang was frightened and tried to escape. Xu Shiji stopped him. Wagang army took the tactics of luring the enemy into depth and ambush attack, annihilating all the Sui army, and Zhang xutuo also died. At that time, Li Mi, the Duke of Pushan, took part in Yang Xuangan's rebellion and fled. Xu Shiji and Wang bodang, who lived in Xunyi, knew that Li mi was a hero in the world. Together, they persuaded Zhai rang to give priority to Li mi in order to buy people's hearts and expand their influence.

In 617, Li mi called himself Duke of Wei. Xu Shiji was awarded the right military Marquis general, commanding the headquarters.

In the same year, the Sui Dynasty ordered the Jiangdu City to be garrisoned, and Wang Shichong led the army to attack Li mi. Xu Shiji defeated Wang Shichong several times on both sides of Luoshui by using his tricks, so Li mi named him the Duke of Donghai County. At that time, there were many hungry people in Henan and Shandong provinces. In the Sui Dynasty, the relief was not enough, and tens of thousands of people died of hunger every day. Xu Shiji said to Li Mi, "the world is in chaos. It's for hunger. If Li Cang is captured, it will be a great event for us Li mi listened to the plan and sent Xu Shiji with 5000 people to cross the Yellow River from Yuanwu to cover up the Sui garrison in liyangcang. In ten days, more than 200000 soldiers were recruited.

Since then, there have been contradictions within Wagang army. Zhai rang killed Li mi at the banquet. In the chaos, Xu Shiji, who was on the scene, was also slashed and seriously injured by the soldiers. Wang bodang stopped in a hurry, and Xu Shiji was spared. In order to stabilize the people's mind, Li mi sent General Shan xiongxin to comfort zhairang's old troops and put them under the command of Xu Shiji, Shan xiongxin and Wang bodang.

In March of the first year of Wude (618), yuwenhuaji, a general of youtunwei, killed Yang Guang in Jiangdu. In May, Li mi sent Xu Shiji to punish Wang Deren for killing Fang yanzao. Xu Shiji defeated Wang Deren and forced him to surrender to Tang King Li Yuan. Xu Shiji defends liyangcang, yuwenhuaji leads his army to attack the city on all sides, and the situation is critical. Li mi led 500 cavalry to help. Xu Shiji also dug a tunnel out of the city and suddenly appeared outside the city. The two armies cooperated with each other inside and outside, defeated Yuwen Huaji, and forced them to leave.

This year, yuan Wendu, the Minister of Taifu, and other officials supported Yang Dong, the king of Yue, to become emperor in Luoyang. Emperor Tai sent envoys to absolve Li Mi and others. Xu Shiji was re granted the rank of general of Youwu Marquis and was ordered to attack Yuwen Huaji.

Surrender to Li Tang

In October of the first year of Wude (618), Li mi was defeated by Wang Shichong and gathered the rest of the people to submit to the Tang Dynasty. All the territories under Li Mi's command were taken over by Xu Shiji.

In the second year of Wude (619), Xu Shiji said to Guo Xiaoke: "the Duke of Wei (the Duke of Wei) has been attached to the Tang Dynasty. Now the people's land here belongs to the Duke of Wei. If I give them up, I will take advantage of the failure of the master to gain profits. I think it is a shame to use them to seek wealth. Now it's time to record the names and numbers of prefectures and counties as well as the registered permanent residence of the army and the people, report them to the Duke of Wei, and let the Duke of Wei dedicate himself to the imperial court. That's the credit of the Duke of Wei. " So he sent a messenger to Li mi. When the envoys first arrived at the imperial court, Li Yuan was surprised to hear that Xu Shiji didn't play his watch and only wrote to Li mi. When the messenger told Li Yuan of Xu Shiji's original intention, Li Yuancai said happily, "Xu Shiji is really a pure minister who feels grateful for his master's kindness and refuses his credit." Under the imperial edict, he was appointed the general manager of Liyang, Shangzhu state, and the Duke of Laiguo. In addition, he was granted the right military Marquis general, who was renamed the Duke of Cao. He was given the surname of Li, who was "attached to the clan and belonged to the family". He was also granted 50 hectares of Liangtian and the first superior house. Xu Shiji changed his name from then on

Li Shiji

. Soon after, Li Yuan ordered Li Shiji to lead the army in Henan and Shandong to resist Wang Shichong.

In September, Hebei warlord Dou Jiande attacked Xiangzhou, and Li Shentong, Shandong Road pacification ambassador and Huaiyang king, led his army to Liyang. In November, Dou Jiande captured Liyang, and Li Gai (Xu Gai, who had been given the surname of Li) was captured with Li Shentong, Wei Zheng and Princess Tong'an. Li Shiji led hundreds of cavalry across the river to evacuate, but because Li Gai was captured, he had to return to surrender. Dou Jiande took Li Gai as a hostage and still let Li Shiji guard Li Yang.

Li Shiji wanted to submit to the Tang Dynasty, but he was worried that this would harm his father. After private discussion with Guo Xiaoke, he decided to make contributions to Dou Jiande first, gain his trust, and then plot. Not long after that, Li Shiji was defeated by Wang Shichong's troops after he won the imperial examinations, so Dou Jiande was very close to him. After gaining Dou Jiande's trust, Li Shiji succeeded in persuading him to go to Henan personally and tried to kill him. But Dou Jiande's wife gave birth to a son, so he did not leave. Li Shiji could not attack Dou Jiande, and the plan to murder Cao Dan was leaked. He and Guo Xiaoke led dozens of cavalry to surrender to the Tang Dynasty.

In April 620, Li Shiji and Li Shimin defeated song Jingang. In the same year, Li Shiji followed Li Shimin to attack Wang Shichong and was ordered to take over the state. Wang Xuan, Prince of the state of Zheng (Wang Shichong is called emperor of the state of Zheng), should attempt to capture Guanzhou, but Li Shiji defeated him. Li Shiji also sent Guo Xiaoke to persuade Wei Lu, the governor of Zheng Guorong Prefecture, to surrender. Yangcheng and bianzhou also came to surrender one after another.

In the fourth year of Wude (621), Shen Yue, a soldier of Zheng State, asked to surrender Hulao pass to Tang Dynasty. Li Shiji ambushed his army at night to take over Hulao pass and captured King Jing xingben of Zheng State. He also took part in capturing Dou Jiande and subduing Wang Shichong. In July, the whole army of Tang Dynasty returned to Korea. Li Yuan's theory of merit and reward is that Li Shimin is the general and Li Shiji is the next general. He, together with 26 other people, such as Li Shimin, wore gold armour and rode the chariot to the temple to report the victory. Li Gai also joined the court with Pei Ju and others from Mingzhou. Li Yuan was very happy to see them and restored Li Gai's official rank. In December, Liu heikai, the former head of Dou Jiande's army, led tens of thousands of troops into Zongcheng. Li Shiji abandoned the city and fled to Mingzhou. He was overtaken by Liu heikai, who lost 5000 soldiers of the infantry.

In March of 622, Li Shiji defeated Liu heixian in the battle of Mingshui. In July, Li Shimin attacked Xu Yuanlang, who called himself the king of Lu. He took more than ten cities and forced Du Fuwei, the leader of the Jianghuai rebellion, to enter the court. In view of the initial situation, Li Shimin left Li Shiji to fight against Xu Yuanlang with Li Shentong, the king of Huai'an, and Ren GUI, the general manager of the March. After continuous promotion, he became a senior general of zuojianmen. After that, Xu Yuanlang occupied Yanzhou and rebelled. The imperial court appointed Li Shiji as the general manager of Henan daoda and went to attack. Soon after, Li Shiji captured Xu Yuanlang and sacrificed his head to the imperial court. Yanzhou was pacified.

In August of the sixth year of Wude (623), Li Yuan ordered Li Shiji, together with Li Xiaogong, the prince of Zhao, Li Jing, the ambassador of Lingnan Dao, and Huang Junhan, the general manager of huaizhou, to attack Fu Gongyi, the leader of the Jianghuai rebellion.

In March of the seventh year of Wude (624), Li Xiaogong and Li Jing led the division down the Yangtze River. Li Shiji led 10000 infantry to cross the Huaihe River and capture Shouyang, which was occupied by Fu Gongyi, to Xiashi. The Ministry of Fu Gong Yi, Chen Zhengtong, led 20000 troops to garrison in Liangshan, and sent his general, Feng Huiliang, to command 30000 naval men to connect the battleships with chains to block the route of the Yangtze River. Chen Zhengtong also built fortresses on the West Bank of the Yangtze River to defend the land and water, so as to resist the Tang army. Li Jing and others first attacked Boshan, Qinglin and other places where Chen Zhengtong, Feng Huiliang and others were stationed, and immediately sent troops to Danyang. After hearing the news, Fu Gongyi was shocked and tried to lead the remnant to abandon the city and flee to the East. Li Shiji took advantage of the victory and killed him in Wukang county
