The Loyal Soul of the Tang Dynasty

He was two feet tall and held a Mo knife. With one strike, both men and horses were shattered. The countries in the Western Regions feared him like a god and called him "Supernatural General". Under Suiye City, he climbed the tower three times and fell three times, and was laughed at by thousands of people. But he broke the door latch with one hand and became a prince in one battle. Bolu Cliff, a thirty-foot cliff climbed up at night, and only half of the three hundred dead soldiers were left. He was the first to stand at the top of the city and roared "The Tang army is here", and the seventy-two countries surrendered. Talas retreated, and he cut open his own men who were blocking the way with his own hands, causing rivers of blood to flow. Duan Xiushi pointed at his nose and cursed: "Running in fear of the enemy is not brave! Avoiding oneself and trapping others is not benevolence!" He was silent for three seconds, then turned around and said: "You are right. But now is not the time to talk about benevolence and righteousness." In the decisive battle at Xiangji Temple, the 150,000 Tang army was in chaos and was about to be annihilated. He threw away his helmet, threw away his chest protector, threw away all his armor--naked to the waist and holding a knife, he walked towards the enemy's lines. "Whoever takes the Siye Sword will be shattered into pieces!" Three thousand swordsmen came in like a wall and beheaded 60,000 people. Chang'an was recovered. But in his final battle, he was commanded remotely by a eunuch who had never been on the battlefield. He was hit by an arrow while lying in his tent, heard the sound of golden drums, and died of wounds. His last words before death were: "Father, the child has not been humiliated..." Is he the loyal soul of the Tang Dynasty, or the butcher of troubled times? Does he have to pay with his life for what he did wrong?
