The Xue family generals, the Yang family generals, the Yue family generals and the Hu family generals are the four heroic families in ancient Chinese novels. They have a broad mass base in the field of Chinese folk literature.
Xue Rengui and his descendants, the generals of the Xue family, have a profound influence on the people of our country. A long time ago, the story of Xue Rengui's expedition to the East has been circulated among the people. According to legend, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty sent troops three times to conquer Goguryeo in order to regain Liaodong, unify the world, conquer Gaisuwen, kill the rebels, and rescue Silla. In the first year of the General Chapter of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty (AD 668), Xue Rengui led his troops to capture Pyongyang City and captured King Gaozang of Goguryeo. Goguryeo was destroyed. After that, the Tang Dynasty established 9 governor's offices, 42 prefectures, and 100 counties in the hometown of Goguryeo. The Andong governor's office was under the jurisdiction of the governorate, and was controlled by General Xue Rengui, the general of Zuo Wuwei. Xue Rengui's expedition to the East was based on this period of history and was part of the story of the Xue family generals.
Rulian, a Buddhist layman in the Qing Dynasty, wrote a popular novel of the same name based on Xue Rengui's story of conquering the East. "Xue Rengui's Conquest of the East" is one of my country's famous popular novels. The content roughly takes Xue Rengui's life as the longitude and his deeds in the Eastern Conquest as the weft. Xue Rengui was originally a civilian who was recruited into the army and was buried in the Huotou Army. Although he repeatedly performed extraordinary feats, all his achievements were falsely claimed by He Zongxian, the son-in-law of the treacherous minister Zhang Shigui. Later, through the investigation of Marshal Wei Chigong, the truth came to light. Therefore, Zhang Shigui was convicted, Xue Rengui was named King of Ping Liao, and the story of the Eastern Conquest came to an end.
In order to make it easier for teenagers to read, this time we have made more detailed revisions and arrangements of the novel by layman Qinglian, and renamed it "Xue Family General" Youth Edition. The whole book is still in the form of chapters, rich in content, easy to understand, and worth reading.

This book is very beautiful
This youth edition of "Xue Family General" is really well written! I am usually busy with work and rarely have time to read, but the content of this book is easy to understand and very attractive. Seeing Xue Rengui being buried in the Huotou Army, I thought that I had not been taken seriously at work. I really hope that I can be as successful as him. Moreover, the writing style of this book is also very good, and the description is very vivid. It feels like watching a TV series. I think this book is very suitable for teenagers to read. It can help them understand history and learn a lot about life.
