General Wang Fangyi was not highly valued throughout his life and passed away in anger and sorrow

Why wasn’t the famous Tang Dynasty general Wang Fangyi highly valued? Interested readers and history encyclopedia editors, let’s take a look together!
In the spring of 682 AD, the Western Turkic chieftain Ashina Chebo led his troops to rebel. At this time, the general Pei Xingjian had already passed away, so the responsibility of suppressing the rebellion could only fall on Wang Fangyi. After Ashina Chebo raised his troops, he attacked Gongyue City. Wang Fangyi led his army to rush for assistance and broke through the Western Turkic rebels in Yiliu.
Wang Fangyi led his troops to engage in a fierce battle with various rebel forces in Rehai. During the intense fighting, a stream of arrows pierced Wang Fangyi’s arm. He cut off the shaft of the arrow and continued to fight, unaware that he was injured.
There is a foreign soldier under Wang Fangyi’s command, and Ashina Chebo wants to contact them to rebel against Wang Fangyi and seize the opportunity to capture him. But Ashina Che Bo’s actions did not escape Wang Fangyi’s eyes. He summoned the soldiers who attempted to rebel and promised to reward them. These people gladly went, but unexpectedly became the ghosts under the knife.
After dealing with these matters, Wang Fangyi divided his troops into several routes to launch a total attack on the various tribes of Ashina Chebo. Ashina Chebo was caught off guard and quickly collapsed. This battle completely defeated Ashina Chebo and captured more than 300 chieftains alive.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Gaozong was overjoyed and summoned Wang Fangyi to court. However, there was no reward or award, as he was the elder brother of Queen Wang. At this time, Wu Mei was in charge, and Emperor Gaozong could only sigh as he watched Wang Fangyi’s arrow injure him.
After the death of Emperor Gaozong of Tang,
Wu Zetian held great power. Wang Fangyi, as a close relative of Queen Wang and implicated in the Cheng Wuting case, was arrested and imprisoned by Empress Wu Zetian under the pretext. Later, he was exiled to Yazhou. Wang Fangyi passed away at the age of 63, after enduring hardships and becoming ill.
