What was the name of Xu Maogong's master in Tang Dynasty?

In the official history, there is no record of Xu Maogong, only the legend is unofficial history. In the lyrics of JD.COM drum "Divination Complete", it is mentioned that Xu Maogong's master is Bi Chenxian, and in Sui and Tang Dynasties, it was recorded that Xu Maogong's master was Xu Hongke (Taishan Daochang, Wei Zhi and Xu Maogong all worshipped him as a teacher).

In the chaos of the late Sui Dynasty, Xu Maogong followed Zhai Rang, the leader of the rebel army. Because of its outstanding ability, Zhai Rang attaches great importance to it. Later, Shi Biao became another master of Xu Maogong. Of course, he also took a fancy to Xu Maogong's ability and wanted to reuse him.

After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, Shi Biao was defeated, Xu Maogong was annexed by the Tang Dynasty, and Tang Gaozu continued to reuse him. Xu Maogong helped Tang Gaozu destroy many enemies and made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty.

In August 626, Emperor Taizong Li Shimin succeeded to the throne. After the war between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks broke out, Xu Maogong was still on the battlefield, and this war was also a great victory. Xu Maogong was sealed by the emperor for hundreds of families.

Xu Maogong was born in Longhuguan, Luzhou City, Shaanxi Province. He and Wei Zhi are both Taoist priests. He made a living as a diviner, and joined the Greenwood Rebel Army planned by Xiao Lingguan Dan Xiong Xin. Later, Jia Jialou became sworn, ranking third. Above Cheng, Cheng called him "Xu Saner, an antique".

The strategist has to remind people of Zhuge Liang, who has a thousand troops in his chest and has a good command. However, Xu Maogong is not the prototype of Zhuge Liang in this storytelling. There is no profound description about the marching arrangement in the ballad. At the beginning of Jia Jialou's rebellion, he ordered chopsticks, commanded the outlaw hero, filed a false written pledge to fulfill a military order and sent off 800,000 troops, the patron of the king, and began to show his talents.

Behind it, Xu Maogong's credit is elite management. First of all, Cheng must be appointed king of the demon kingdom. Later, he accepted Lao Rui and Pei's father and son many times with tricks, and recruited talents. All these are due to Xu Maogong.
