Half the jokes

Zhang Xun is more like a lonely hero. He stuck to Suiyang until the last moment. He saved half the country for the Tang Dynasty and should have become a respected hero. However, after his death, even when he was still alive, how many people hid in the dark and watched his jokes quietly? They don't want to turn a blind eye to the war after helping, just want to save their lives. These same people clung to Zhang Xun's mistakes after Zhang Xun's death. They don't think Zhang Xun deserves to be a hero who eats people.

The people in Suiyang city have become the food of patrol, which has always been a controversial place for patrol. M-girls often wondered what kind of psychological struggle Zhang Xun went through at that time before he finally made a decision. Either surrender to the rebels and let them step into the rich land of Jiangnan; Or try our best to sacrifice the people in the city and stop the Suiyang rebels. Almost unsurprisingly, Zhang Xun chose the latter. He would rather be accused, the world doesn't understand him, and he will fight until the last moment.

In fact, Zhang Xun was just a civil servant at first, but he read widely, especially the art of war. Later, he became a scholar and became a magistrate in Qinghe County and zhenyuan county. If there were no Anshi Rebellion, Zhang Xun's life might be in officialdom. However, the Anshi rebellion came and the rebels went south strongly. Soon Luoyang fell, and An Lushan proclaimed himself emperor.

Many regions surrendered one after another. At that time, Zhang Xun was the county magistrate of Zhenyuan, and he also received instructions from his superiors to surrender. However, Zhang Xun refused to surrender, and instead organized militia and people to resist the rebels. After the county magistrate Linghu Chao surrendered to the rebels, Zhang Xun and Jia Ben took advantage of the chaos to occupy Qiu Yong and began to organize resistance.

Zhang Xun and Ling Huchao, once colleagues and neighbors, started an endless war. The difference is that Zhang Xun has only a few thousand soldiers, while Linghu Chao has tens of thousands. But even so, for a whole year, Zhang Xun still beat the fox tide around on the battlefield, and the rebels have been unable to capture Qiu Yong, but suffered heavy casualties. Finally, after a year of war, the rebels changed their tactics and prepared to turn Qiu Yong into an isolated city, surround it and cut off the supply of food and grass in Zhang Xun.

Therefore, Zhang Xun had to give up Qiu Yong, moved to Ningling, and launched a ten-month Suiyang war with Xu Yuan and others. At this point, Zhang Xun has been awarded the post of Henan Festival agreement, and later became an imperial adviser. This was originally a reward for Zhang Xun, but it also became a death warrant for Zhang Xun, because almost no reinforcements arrived except the troops of Zhang Xun and Xu Yuan, and more.

In the face of the constantly attacking rebels and our own people who look on coldly, Zhang Xun has no choice but to grit his teeth and persist. In July 757, Luoyang City began to lack food. The soldiers began to eat all kinds of bark, paper, mice and sparrows to barely satisfy their hunger, and the people were already seriously short of food. ? The food in the city is exhausted and easy to eat, but the bones are analyzed and the people's fears will change. ? That is to say, people in the city have begun to eat easily, and they have no bottom in their hearts. In the long run, they may not be able to persist.

Zhang Xun finally decided to kill his concubines and let the soldiers share the food. Xu Yuan also killed his slaves and cooked them for soldiers. In this case, the men began to high-spirited, continue to follow Zhang Xun stick to Chengyang.

After the tour? It includes women in cities; After all, following her husband and youngest son, with a population of 20,000 to 30,000, people's hearts will never change. ? Start with women, then the old, the weak and the sick, and then the young and middle-aged

Until October this year, Zhang Xun finally failed to hold Luoyang City. When the city was broken, there were only a few hundred people left in Luoyang. Zhang Xun died generously, only hating her inability to protect Luoyang, but ironically, Luoyang was recovered only a few days after it was broken.

Zhang Xun single-handedly saved half of the Tang Dynasty in that stormy era. Because of his existence, it is possible for Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi to recover both. I can't imagine how miserable it would be if Zhang Xun didn't persist for so long and the rebels broke through the Jiangnan area. The grain in Jianghuai area can't go north. Is it far to recover both?

This lonely hero shed blood for the Tang Empire, but after his death, he was immediately vilified. Yes, what more people remember is not his contribution, but the fact that he made soldiers eat people. Even today, there are still people who want to attack Zhang Xun, which has become his eternal stain. However, if life could be repeated, Zhang Xun would still make the same choice.
