Chapter 442: If this isn't a war to destroy a nation, how can you be called a famous general?!
In July of the ninth year of Wude, Li Shimin, the Prince of Qin, launched the Xuanwu Gate Incident, but Li Jing did not participate. In August, Li Yuan passed the throne to Li Shimin. Jie Li Khan took advantage of the change of emperors to lead hundreds of thousands of elite cavalry to invade Jingzhou, marching straight into the city and approaching the Wei River. Li Shimin personally went to the Wei River Bridge and formed an alliance with Jie Li, and the Turks withdrew.
In the first month of the fourth year of Zhenguan, Li Jing led 3,000 elite cavalrymen, braved the severe cold, conquered Dingxiang, and shocked the northern barbarians. Li Jing was granted the title of Duke of Dai, and his fief was increased by 3,000 households.
Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, said: "In the past, Li Ling led 5,000 infantrymen and surrendered to the Xiongnu, but his name was still recorded in history. You led 3,000 light cavalry deep into the Xiongnu's territory, recovered Dingxiang, and shocked the northern barbarians. This is unprecedented in ancient and modern times, and it is enough to repay the victory at the Weishui Campaign last year."
Jie Li Khan was sent to the capital to dance, and the Eastern Turks were destroyed. After this battle, Li Jing was promoted to Shangshu You Pushe, second only to Zuo Pushe Fang Xuanling. 】
＜The King of Qin wanted to make progress, and Li Yuan tactfully gave up his throne [eating melon]＞
＜Li Jing's neutrality was because he had the capital to do so, and his neutrality was the greatest help to Li Shimin.＞
＜Li Jing did not participate, but his brother did [covering his face] and he did not need to participate at all, because he was a member of Li Shimin's Tiance Mansion and had already chosen a side.＞
＜The God of War Rises!＞
＜Jie Li Khan, also known as the Chang'an Dance King, hahaha.＞
＜The Tang Dynasty God of War is online, and he will become famous in one battle!!!＞
＜During Li Jing's time, generals like Su Dingfang were all vanguards.＞
＜In the Tang Dynasty, achievements were measured by the number of nations destroyed.＞
＜I remember that the Tang Dynasty originally sent an envoy Tang Jian to negotiate with Jie Li Khan. Everyone knew that Jie Li Khan was pretending to surrender. Li Ji said to Li Jing: We should kill him while he is ill. After hearing what Li Ji said, Li Jing thought, isn't this the strategy of Han Xin to destroy Qi? So he agreed decisively.＞
＜The Turks fled in all directions. Li Jing's army killed more than 10,000 enemies, captured hundreds of thousands of them, seized hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep, and killed Princess Yicheng of the Sui Dynasty……＞
＜I think I have done this classical Chinese article.＞
Princess Yicheng Revolts against the Tang Dynasty and Restores the Sui Dynasty
＜Teach the thirty-six nations in the Western Regions to sing and dance well.＞
＜Li Jing has no more titles to be given, no more rewards to be given.＞
[Tang Gaozu Li Yuan: ...Hehe...]
[Tang Taizong Li Shimin: Are you living comfortably in the palace, Aye?]
[Tang Gaozu Li Yuan: ...Humph!]
[Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che: Yes, the father is kind and the son is filial.]
[Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che: Teaching the Thirty-Six Kingdoms in the Western Regions to sing and dance. Hahaha, this is quite interesting...]
[Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian: The war of annihilation... was fought so easily? And the Turks are so fast?!]
[Han Qinhu, the 11th year of Sui Kaihuang: You are indeed my nephew!]
[Gao Zuo in the 11th year of the Sui Dynasty: cough cough cough...]
……
Liu Che thought Li Shimin’s idea was very good and that it would be better for the countries in the Western Regions to be good at singing and dancing.
So he mentioned Tewei and Huo in his comments, suggesting that they should also capture a few Chanyu and bring them back to Chang'an to dance.
Wei Qing accepted the order.
Huo Qubing was extremely excited. Without waiting for Wei Qing's instructions, he led his men and disappeared on the grassland.
"Uncle! Just wait for me to come back with some dancers!"
At this time, the Chanyu who were hiding in the grasslands: ...
The evil star is here again!!!
……
Han Qinhu also realized the problem at this time. Although his nephew was powerful, he was loyal to the Tang Dynasty which destroyed the Sui Dynasty!
However, thinking about the current emperor's style of doing things, I feel that nothing should happen. Maybe... I can catch the emperor's eye and be given an important task.
Since Li Yuan, who led the rebellion against the Sui Dynasty, did not die, the rest of the people would naturally be alive and well.
Yang Yong clapped his hands and praised: "This Li Jing is truly a military god! I admire him! I admire him!"
"Father, why was such a great talent buried during the Sui Dynasty?!"
Yang Jian was speechless. How did he know? However, there were only a few possible answers.
He never met a mentor who appreciated him. Although people in the court praised him highly, when it came to promoting him or giving him a new position, those people were unwilling to do so.
"Alas, the imperial examination system should be raised as soon as possible."
……
[“Having wealth and honor, one is deeply afraid of being overwhelmed, so one should be content and retreat.”
In October of the eighth year of Zhenguan, Li Jing petitioned for his remains due to a foot disease, and his words were very sincere. Li Shimin knew his intention and issued an imperial edict. When Li Jing, 63 years old at the time, learned that the court was going to use military force against Tuyuhun, he took the initiative to ask for the order to go.
In April of the tenth year of Zhenguan, the Tang army fought with Tuyuhun in Kushan. Li Daozong's troops defeated Tuyuhun and the Tang army won the first battle. Li Jing accepted Hou Junji's suggestion and divided his troops into two groups, defeating Tuyuhun. Fuyun Khan was killed by his subordinates. His eldest son, Daning King Murong Shun, killed Tianzhu King and led his people to surrender to Tuyuhun. Li Jing led his army to conquer Tuyuhun in just two months.
After the war, Gao Zongsheng, the general manager of Yanze Road, failed to arrive on time, which delayed the military opportunity and was blamed by Li Jing. Gao Zongsheng was dissatisfied and colluded with Tang Fengyi, the chief of Guangzhou Governor's Office, to falsely accuse Li Jing of treason. Li Shimin found out the truth and sentenced Gao Zongsheng to death for false accusation and exiled him to the frontier.
From then on, Li Jing "closed the door and guarded himself, and refused to allow any guests, not even relatives to enter."]
＜The highest honor of becoming a general or a prime minister!＞
＜Conquered the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau!＞
＜It seems that Li Shimin has always been suspicious of Li Jing [sigh] He is extremely worried about Li Jing. Li Jing has been sitting on pins and needles since he took the position of Right Prime Minister, and later resigned from the position of Right Prime Minister due to his foot disease. Tuyuhun was restless, and Li Shimin thought of Li Jing again. Li Shimin asked Fang Xuanling: "Can Jing be reappointed as the commander?" Li Jing said to Fang Xuanling: "Although I am old, I can still go on a journey."＞
＜In addition to conquering the Wolf's Lair, the general also has another achievement, which is the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.＞
＜Destroy the country and end the sacrifices! Another country was destroyed in just a few months [thumbs-up]＞
＜That’s how it is in the Tang Dynasty. If you don’t destroy a country, you can’t really be called a famous general.＞
＜Hou Junji was also miserable, the only one who was beheaded [sigh] As a minister, you should really not get involved in the royal affairs.＞
＜The stars of the Tang Dynasty gather and shine＞
＜Li Shimin: False accusation?! Do you think I’m an idiot?＞
＜Although Li Shimin had always suspected Li Jing, he was still able to distinguish right from wrong, unlike some emperors who were eager to listen to such false accusations [rolling eyes]＞
＜Li Shimin represents the military generals group, and as the General of Tiance, who is he afraid of?＞
＜It is rare to find a wise ruler paired with wise ministers……＞
＜Can an emperor who fears his subjects be considered a wise ruler?＞
[Qin Shi Huangdi Ying Zheng: An emperor who knows that his subjects are wronged but still allows the result to happen is not a wise ruler.]
[Emperor Gaozu of Han Liu Bang: Well...some emperors only care about their descendants...]
[Ming Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang: Agree.]
[Tang Taizong Li Shimin: We must be able to distinguish between the real and the fake.]
[Huo Qubing in the fifth year of Yuanshou in the Han Dynasty: Conquer the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau! ? Isn’t it easy to conquer this place? ]
[Li Jing in the fourth year of Tang Zhenguan: The location and marching here are difficult, and the logistics are difficult.]
[Huo Qubing in the fifth year of Han Yuanshou: An old general in his sixties can still mount a horse and command a battle, amazing!]
[Tang Zhenguan Year 4 Li Jing: I am overwhelmed. Thank you for the compliment from Champion Marquis.]
[Emperor Cao Cao of Wei: The war of annihilation is exciting just by hearing it, and all the countries in the Western Regions will come to pay tribute.]
……
The Tang Dynasty is full of stars, and the stars are shining.
This sentence inspired everyone in the Zhenguan Dynasty.
History is not unchangeable. Today, Li Jing has been honored as the God of War and revered by future generations. Why can't they create new merits tomorrow? !
The generals read the sentence "In the Tang Dynasty, if you haven't fought a war to destroy a country, you are embarrassed to be called a famous general." They felt a little sad at first, thinking that it would be difficult to break through when surrounded by so many big men. But then they thought again, isn't it just a war to destroy a country! ? Didn't they defeat the powerful Turks and the annoying Tuyuhun! ?
What are other small countries afraid of?
The prosperous Tang Dynasty was not only about the strength of civil and military power, but also about the people living comfortably.
Li Shimin calculated the goals he had set for himself. He was not in a hurry. It was only the fourth year of Zhenguan, so there was still a lot of time...
