Li Wenzhong vs Su Dingfang

Li Wenzhong, as a nephew and general of Zhu Yuanzhang, participated in the capture of Chuzhou and other key cities in the early Red Turban Rebellion. These victories helped establish Zhu's base in the Yangtze River region.

Li Wenzhong commanded a fleet that contributed to the decisive Ming victory over the rival rebel leader Chen Youliang at Lake Poyang. This battle eliminated Zhu Yuanzhang's main rival and paved the way for Ming unification.

Li Wenzhong was a key commander in the Ming army that captured Dadu, the Yuan capital, forcing Emperor Toghon Temur to flee. This event marked the formal establishment of the Ming dynasty over China.

Li Wenzhong led several military expeditions into Mongolia against the retreating Northern Yuan forces. He achieved victories at Yingchang and other locations, but failed to completely destroy the Mongol threat.

Su Dingfang participated in the Tang campaign against the Tuyuhun kingdom. The Tuyuhun were defeated and became a Tang vassal, securing the Tang's western frontier.

Su Dingfang led a Tang army to defeat the Western Turkic Khaganate at the Battle of Irtysh River. The khagan was captured, and the Western Turkic state was destroyed, extending Tang control over Central Asia.

After the conquest of the Western Turks, Su Dingfang suppressed a rebellion led by Ashina Helu, a former Turkic vassal. The rebellion was crushed, and Helu was captured, solidifying Tang control.
