Life of the characters

Early experience

Shi Wansui is from Jingzhao duling (now Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province). His father Shi Jing was appointed governor of Cangzhou in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. When he was young, Shi Wansui was handsome and powerful. He was good at riding and archery. He was fierce and agile. He liked to read military books and was proficient in divination.

In the fourth year of Baoding in the Northern Zhou Dynasty (564), the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Northern Qi Dynasty fought in Mangshan (now the north of Luoyang City in Henan Province), which is the north of Luoyang City. Shi Wansui, 15, was in the army with Shi Jing. He observed the situation on the battlefield and thought that the army of the Northern Zhou Dynasty would be defeated. He ordered the left and right to change their clothes and leave. Before long, the Northern Zhou army was defeated, so Shi Jing was surprised by his talent. During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, he was promoted from a civilian to a sergeant.

In the sixth year of Jiande (577) of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yu Wenyong, Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, led the army to pacify the Northern Qi Dynasty. Shi Wansui, as the son of a loyal minister, worshipped Kaifu Yitong as the third secretary and xijue as the "Duke of Taiping County".

From Pingwei to chijun

In May of the second year of Xiangxiang in the Northern Zhou Dynasty (580), Emperor Xuan of the Northern Zhou Dynasty Yu Wenfu died. Yuwenyan, Emperor Jing of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, was young, and Yang Jian, the prime minister, was in power. In June, Wei chijun, the general manager of Xiangzhou (now Linzhang County, Hebei Province), who was the nephew of yuwentai, Emperor Wen of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, was afraid that Yang Jian's dictatorship was not good for the Northern Zhou Dynasty, so he openly fought against Yang Jian. Shi Wansui accompanied Liang Shiyan, the general manager of the March, to the expedition.

When the army arrived in Fengyi county (now Dali County, Shaanxi Province), a flock of geese flew in. Shi Wansui said to Liang Shiyan, "please allow me to shoot down the third geese in that line." So the bow shot, the goose should string and fall. The three armed forces were all convinced that Shi Wansui's shooting skills were so superb. When they arrived in Hebei, they met with weichi's army. Shi Wansui was the first in every battle and was the bravest of the three armies. In the battle of Yecheng (now the southwest of Linzhang, Hebei Province), the officers and soldiers were disadvantageous in the first battle and retreated slightly. The situation was very critical. Shi Wansui called out: "it's urgent. We should break the enemy's line." So he took the lead and fought hard, hitting dozens of people in a row. The rest of the troops also joined hands in fighting. The morale of the officers and soldiers recovered and the war situation quickly turned around. After the rebellion, Shi Wansui became a great general because of his merits.

Tetanus

A few years later, Shi Wansui was implicated in erzhuji's rebellion and was assigned to Dunhuang (now Dunhuang West in Gansu Province) as a garrison soldier. Dunhuang garrison leader is very brave, often alone riding deep into the Turkic tribes, plundering sheep and horses, there is always a big harvest. No matter how many Turks, they did not dare to resist him. Therefore, the garrison leader was arrogant and often abused Shi Wansui. Swansea was very worried, so he said he was good at riding and shooting. The garrison leader ordered him to shoot. Seeing that he had the skill, he said with a smile, "you must be good.". Shi Wansui asked to ride a horse with a bow, and then went back to Turkey to plunder sheep and horses. He soon captured a large number of livestock and went back to camp. The garrison leader changed his attitude towards Shi Wansui. He often walked with him and went deep into the Turkic territory for hundreds of miles.

At that time, Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty was fighting against Turks in order to complete the great cause of reunification. While resisting the Turkic attack, Sui Dynasty had completed the preparation for counterattack.

In April of 583, the Sui army launched a comprehensive counterattack. Yang Jian, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, ordered Dou Rongding, the general manager of Qinzhou, to lead nine general managers and 30000 cavalry troops to attack Turks from Liangzhou (now Wuwei, Gansu Province). On May 24, they refused to cooperate with the Turkic ABO Khan in gaoyueyuan (now the northwest of Minqin, Gansu Province). Gaoyue is located in the desert, dry and waterless. Dou rongdingjun stabbed a horse to quench his thirst with blood. Suddenly it rained, and the morale of the Sui army was greatly boosted. Dou Rongding took advantage of the situation to fight against the army and defeated the ABO army many times. At this time, Shi Wansui joined the army and asked for service and atonement. On the 25th, dou Rongding sent someone to ask Turks, "what's the crime of soldiers? Why let them kill each other? Only choose one warrior from each of the two armies to fight and win Apo Khan agreed, so he sent a cavalry general to challenge. Dou Rongding sent Shi Wansui to fight. Shi Wansui rushed over, cut off the head of the Turkic warrior, and came back victorious. Turks were so surprised that they did not dare to fight any more, so they asked for peace. Therefore, he was awarded the title of "Yi Tong" and "General of riding".

Pacify Jiangnan

Kaihuang nine years (589), due to participate in the Sui war against Chen meritorious, plus Kaifu.

Since the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the aristocratic families in Jiangnan have been oppressing the poor families. After the Sui Dynasty conquered Chen Dynasty and unified China, the southern aristocratic powers were dissatisfied with the restriction policy implemented by Sui Dynasty, and took advantage of the people's fear of the rumors that Sui Dynasty wanted to immigrate to Guanzhong to incite rebellion. In November of the tenth year of emperor kaihuang of Sui Dynasty, Wang Wenjin of Wuzhou (now Jinhua of Zhejiang Province), Gao Zhihui of Yuezhou (now Shaoxing of Zhejiang Province) and Shen Xuanshi of Suzhou all raised their troops against Sui Dynasty, claiming to be the emperor and setting up hundreds of officials to attack Zhou and Xian, and the anti chaos spread throughout the original territory of Chen Dynasty. On a large scale, there were tens of thousands of people, while on a small scale, there were thousands of people. Yang Jian, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, ordered Yang Su to be the commander in chief of the March and lead the army to fight the rebellion.

After Yang Su's defeat of Gao Zhihui, he sent Shi Wansui (then the commander in chief of the March) to attack Wuzhou with 2000 troops. Yang Su led the main force to chase Gao Zhihui who fled to the sea from Haidao and headed for Wenzhou. Shi Wansui led his troops from Dongyang (now the upper reaches of Jinhua River in the central part of Zhejiang Province), calmed Cai daoren and Wang Wenjin, crossed mountains and seas, and captured countless streams and caves. After more than 700 battles, he fought for more than 1000 miles and defeated numerous rebels. Shi Wansui's army had not heard from him for decades, and he thought that all his troops had been destroyed. Because the water and land transportation was blocked and the messengers were blocked, Shi Wansui had to put letters in bamboo tubes, float on the water and go down the river. When someone got the bamboo tube, he reported it to Yang su. Yang Su was very happy and wrote a memorial to Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty. After receiving the report, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty was so impressed that he gave the Shi Wansui family 100000 yuan and paid homage to the left leading general. Yang Sujun also continued to pursue the anti Sui scattered soldiers, captured Gao Zhihui and pacified the rebellion.

Cuan, the leader of Qiang Nationality in Nanning (Zhiwei County, now Qujing west of Yunnan Province), was appeased in the early Sui Dynasty, and was appointed as the governor of kunzhou (near Majie street in the western suburb of Kunming city of Yunnan Province), and later rebelled against the Sui Dynasty.

In February of the 17th year of kaihuang (597), Shi Wansui, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, was the general manager of the marching army. Shi Wansui led his troops to enter Nanning via Dragonfly Sichuan (now Dayao, Yunnan), nongdong (now yaoanbei, Yunnan), xiaobolong and dabolong (both in the southeast of Xiaguan, Yunnan). Cuan Cuan was firmly guarded by danger and was broken by Shi Wansui. The Sui army traveled hundreds of miles. After passing Zhuge Liang's memorial tablet, it was engraved with the inscription: "after long live, those who surpass me will cross this boundary." Shi Wansui ordered the left and right sides to turn the monument upside down, continue to march westward, cross the Xi'er River (now Erhai Lake in Yunnan Province), enter qulanchuan (located in the northeast of Xiaguan in Yunnan Province), fight for more than 1000 Li, break more than 30 tribes of the Qiang Nationality in Southwest China, capture more than 20000 people, all the Qiang people were afraid, and Cuan was forced to surrender again. They offered pearls and treasures to express their willingness to listen to restraint, and carved stone inscriptions to praise the holy virtues of the Sui Dynasty. Shi Wansui sent an envoy to play on his horse. Please bring Cuan into the court. Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty allowed him to play.

But Cuan Cuan had two ambitions and didn't want to join the army, so he bribed Shi Wansui with Jinbao, so Shi Wansui let him go. At that time, Yang Xiu, king of Shu, was in Yizhou (now Chengdu, Sichuan Province). When he learned that he had taken bribes, he sent someone to ask for them. When Shi Wansui heard about this, he sank all his treasures to the bottom of the river. Yang Xiu had nothing to gain, so he had to give up. Shi Wansui succeeded in pacifying the tribes in the South and became a member of Shangzhu state. Yang Guang, king of Jin, respected him modestly and treated him with the courtesy of his friends. Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty knew that he was favored by the king of Jin, so he sent Wansui to supervise the military affairs of the Jin palace.

The next year, he rebelled again. Yang Xiu, the king of Shu, impeached Shi Wansui for taking bribes and committing crimes, which led to troubles on the border. He had no integrity as a minister. Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty ordered a strict investigation into the matter, which was proved to be true and the crime should be punished. Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty asked him: "you accept bribes and let the bandits go without permission, making the soldiers and horses tired again. When I think about the hard work of the officers and men, I can't sleep well, I can't eat well. Is this what the officials should do? " Shi Wansui argued: "I'm worried that there will be changes in this place and I'll leave him to pacify him. The imperial edict didn't arrive until Chen withdrew his troops and arrived in Lushui, so he was not escorted into the DPRK. It's not that he accepted bribes. " Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, seeing that Shi Wansui was deceived, said angrily, "I thought you were a good minister. How come you are now a thief because of your great official position and high salary?" He said to Yousi, "kill him in the Ming Dynasty." Shi Wansui was afraid and pleaded guilty to Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty. Seeing that he had pleaded guilty, Zuo pushe Gao Min and Zuo Wei's general yuan min also interceded for him: "Shi Wansui is a bit unusual. He leads the army every time, takes the lead and is good at caring for the soldiers. Everyone is willing to work for him, and even the famous general in ancient times can't surpass him." After hearing this, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty was a little angry and cut him off as an official for the people. One year later, he regained his official rank, granted him an assassin in Hezhou (now the northeast of Linxia in Gansu Province), and led the general manager of the march to prevent the Hu people from invading.

In the 19th year of kaihuang (599), Turan Khan was killed by his subordinates and his tribe was in chaos. In order to save the decline of Turks, Tatou Khan established himself as Buga Khan. In April of the 20th year of kaihuang (600), he led his troops to invade the Sui border. Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty ordered Yang Guang, king of Jin, and the right servant of Shangshu to shoot Yang Su into Lingzhou (governing huile, now southwest Lingwu of Ningxia), and Yang Liang, king of Han, and Shi Wansui to send troops to Shuozhou (governing Shanyang, now Shuo county of Shanxi) to attack Buga Khan.
