Life of the characters
Family background
Li Hu is the fifth grandson of Li Yao (Li Hao), the founder of Xiliang in the period of Sixteen Kingdoms (the first grandson is commonly known as son, the second grandson as grandson, and the third grandson as great grandson). Li Zhen was born Li Xin, who was the second monarch of Xiliang and was known as the queen of Xiliang in history. Li Xin gave birth to Li Chong'er (the grandson of Li Li I). After his demise in Xiliang, Li Chong'er became an official in the Northern Wei Dynasty and became the grand governor of Hongnong. Li Chong ER was born to Li Xi. He was an official general in Jinmen town. He once led a hero to guard Heicheng (now Wuchuan County, Inner Mongolia) and Pingcheng (now Datong, Shanxi), the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty, to resist the invasion of the northern grassland, so he settled down in Wuchuan. Li Xisheng, Li Tianxi (a gift from Li Tianci), was a military officer who lived in the army. Li Tianxi is Li Hu's father.
Fight with Yue
Li Hu is the old part of the Taibao he Bayue. When he was young, he was handsome and ambitious. He liked to read books but didn't have chapters and sentences. He was especially good at archery. He was light on money and heavy on righteousness. He was elegant and respected. Therefore, he was highly valued by him.
In the second year of Yong'an (529), Yuanhao entered Luoyang, and Li Hu followed he Bayue to pacify him. Li Hu was granted the title of founding son of Jinshou County for his meritorious service. He lived in 300 families and served as general Ning Shuo and commander of tunqi. Later, he defeated the ghost slaves of Wanzao with he Bayue, stayed in Longxi, moved to Yongzhou, and soon became general Wei. He Bayue guarded Longyou, appointed Li Hu as the governor of Zuoxiang, and entrusted the internal and external military affairs to him.
Revenge for Yue
In the third year of Yongxi's reign (534), he Bayue called Hou Mo and Chen Yue to meet in Gaoping County to fight against Cao Ni, but he was killed by Hou Mo and Chen Yue. Li Hu cried bitterly. The generals proposed to support Yu Wentai. Li Hu disagreed and went straight to Jingzhou in the starry night to persuade he basheng, the elder brother of he Bayue, to accept his men. He didn't accept his advice. At this time, Li Hu heard that Yu Wentai had taken charge of all the soldiers instead of he Bayue, so he drove back from Jingzhou. When he passed Wenxiang, he was captured by Gao Huan's generals and sent to Luoyang. Emperor Xiaowu of the Northern Wei Dynasty, yuanxiu, was ready to seek Guanzhong area. Li Huxin was overjoyed. He immediately appointed him as general Wei and gave him a large amount of property. He sent him to Yu Wentai to help guard Guanzhong. Later, he and Yu Wentai pacified Hou Mo and Chen Yue.
Water attacking Cao mud
After destroying Hou Mo and Chen Yue, it happened that Gao Huan entered Luoyang. Li Hu led his army to welcome emperor Xiaowu of the Northern Wei Dynasty to Tongguan. He was granted the title of general Xiaoqi and the title of third division of Yitong. Cao Ni, the governor of Lingzhou (now the north of Lingwu County in Ningxia), continued to fight against the old headquarters of he Ba Yue. In December of the same year, Yu Wentai sent Li Hu, Li Bi and Zhao GUI to Lingzhou to attack Cao Ni. Li Hu diverted the river to irrigate the city.
In the first month of the first year of Datong (535), Yu Wentai established yuanbaoju as emperor, and established the Western Wei regime as Emperor Wen. In the same month, Li Hu and others appeased Fei yetou's troops and attacked Lingzhou with them for 40 days. Cao nijian couldn't hold on, so he asked to surrender. Li Hu and others killed Cao Ni and moved the haoshuai in Lingzhou to Xianyang.
Jialingzhu country
Li Hu later went to Zuo pushe and Taiwei, and was given the surname of Daye. In 537, Li Hu was granted the title of Duke of Longxi County in the Western Wei Dynasty. Together with Yu Wentai, Duke of Anding, Wang Yuanxin of Guangling, Li Bi, Duke of Zhaojun, Du Guxin of Hanoi, Zhao GUI, Duke of Nanyang, Yu Jin of Changshan, and Mo Chen Chong, Duke of Pengcheng, Li Hu became the highest military officer with the title of "Zhu state", known as "Ba Zhu state".
Warring Eastern Wei Dynasty
In the fourth year of Datong (538), the Western Wei and the Eastern Wei were at war at that time. The two countries arranged a huge military array with a long distance between the head and the tail. From morning to night, the two sides fought dozens of times, and the smoke and dust were everywhere. They could not see each other clearly. Du Guxin and Li Yuanyuan are on the right, Zhao GUI and Yi Feng are on the left. They all lost in the fighting. Moreover, they did not know where Emperor Wen of the Western Wei Dynasty and Prime Minister Yu Wentai were, so they all left their soldiers and ran back first. Li Hu, Nian Xian and others belong to the follow-up forces. Seeing Dugu Xin and others retreat, they leave the battlefield with them. Yuwentai so had to burn camp back, leaving instrument with three director Sun Yan town guard Kim Yong.
When the Western Wei Dynasty attacked the Eastern Wei Dynasty, there were few soldiers left in Guanzhong area. The captured soldiers of the Eastern Wei Dynasty were scattered among the people. When they heard that the troops of the Western Wei Dynasty had been defeated, they tried to make trouble one after another. When Li Hu and others came to Chang'an and couldn't figure out a good strategy, they went out of the city to garrison in Weibei area with Wang Meng and Zhou Huida. The common people plundered each other, and the Guanzhong area was very disturbed. Zhao Qingque, the governor of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, and Yu Fude, the people of Yongzhou, who were captured in the battle of Shayuan, took the opportunity to rebel and occupy the small city of Chang'an. Then they occupied Xianyang in Fude. They and Murong Siqing, the prefect of Xianyang, summoned the soldiers of the Eastern Wei Dynasty to resist the soldiers of the Western Wei Dynasty who returned from the battlefield. The people in the main city of Chang'an organized against Zhao Qingque and fought against him every day. Mo chenshun, the governor and Marquis of Dadu, attacked the demobilized soldiers of the Eastern Wei Dynasty and defeated them many times, so that they did not dare to leave the city.

In May, 551, Li Hu died. After the establishment of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Li Hu was granted the title of Duke of Tang and his posthumous title was Xiang.
When Yang Jian, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, was the Prime Minister of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, he took Li Hu's surname. In the first year of Wude (618), Li Yuan, the grandson of Li Hu, ascended the throne by Zen and established the Tang Dynasty. Li Hu was named king emperor after his posthumous title. His temple was named Taizu and his mausoleum was called Yongkang.
