Spoiler History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 250 Can’t Beat the Monkey

On the day scheduled for the light curtain, there were two more people arriving at Ganlu Hall than Li Shimin expected:

The depression gradually disappeared, and Su Lie and Su Dingfang became heroic again.

And Yuchi Jingde, who carried his old brother Qin Qiong in.

This made the Ganlu Hall increasingly crowded, and Li Shimin had to step aside to maintain order:
"Since Dingfang once served as General Pharmacist, please move the chair over and squeeze in."

"Shu Bao has just recovered from a serious illness. Jingde moved the chair over to take care of him."

"Xuan Ce, don't be stunned. Come over and help the auxiliary machine to get rid of this case."

For the first time, Wang Xuance felt his own insignificance. This Manna Hall was now full of generals and prime ministers. They talked and laughed like princes of the country, and came and went with important ministers.

After Li Shimin called out, he hurriedly worked with Chang Sun Wuji to move the small table on the couch. Then he saw His Majesty dragging Dr. Sun to sit together, saying that he wanted to make room for brother Yan Shaojiang to paint.

Then Wang Xuance received a small bench.

Li Shimin told him apologetically that there was no room for chairs in the Manna Hall.

Wang Xuance didn't have any objections. In comparison, it was appropriate to stand.

But the only strange thing is why everyone is sitting facing the wall. Could it be that they are going to hang up maps and discuss national policies later?

This actually made Wang Xuance a little uneasy. After all, how could He De, a mere county magistrate...

And at this moment, he watched helplessly as a line of smoke rose from under the wall, and then a gap was opened in the wall, and a light curtain suddenly appeared.

Wang Xuance was in a state of shock. He turned to look at the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and met Li Shimin's smiling eyes.

Qin Qiong listened to Yuchi Jingde's explanation softly, while Su Lie asked Li Jing about the situation with some restraint.

Looking at the eyes of Wang Xuance's little fan with satisfaction and looking at the opening title of the light curtain, Li Shimin felt a little disappointed.

After all, no one can have too much fame, and later generations also praised him for his leadership of the army, so Li Shimin had fantasized about it, but...

Looking at this title, our Tang Dynasty also produced a figure similar to Guan Yu who was conferred as a god?
When Li Shimin was a child, he had a profound memory of the messy titles given to Guan Yu in later generations.

Li Ji took the initiative to make eye contact with Li Jing, and both of them were somewhat willing to do their part.

After all, Guangmu had said before that in the early Tang Dynasty, the only person who could be called the God of War was Li Yisu.

Leaving aside the respectful Su Lie next to him, the protagonist this time will almost certainly be one of them.

Li Jing looked at ease, while Li Ji looked forward to it.

[Hi, hi, hi, I am your husband-in-law, UP master Wen Mang.

The protagonist we are going to talk about today is a general:
There is no burning of rabbits and dogs, and there is no humiliation of the crotch.

There was neither a grassroots counterattack nor an untimely death.

There is no ambition that goes unfulfilled, and no one who is killed unjustly.

His life can be said to be a smooth road:
In the first half of his life, he was born into a famous family and enjoyed wealth.

In the second half of his life, he must meet a wise king and destroy his country every time he fights.

After his death, there were endless legends and he was finally deified as a god.

Today we will talk about the outstanding military strategists of the early Tang Dynasty: Li Jing and Li Wei Gong. 】

〖I know Li Jing, the eldest wife is Hongfunu, the second wife is Mrs. Yin, the sworn brother is Qiu Bearke, the three sons are Jin Zha, Muzha and Nezha, the disciples of Zhenren Du'e and Randen Taoist, and Chentangguan of the Great Shang Dynasty. The commander-in-chief, the Demon-Conquering Generalissimo of Heaven, King Tota Li.

I testify that what you said above is true, but it’s a pity that you can’t beat the monkey.

Indeed, he annihilated the Turks with bloody battles, went on an expedition to Tuyuhun in the desert sea, died and ascended to heaven to become a righteous god, but unfortunately lost to the east and defeated a hozen.

Seriously speaking, the involution of famous generals in the Tang Dynasty started with Li Jing. You really don’t have the confidence to speak loudly until the country is destroyed.

If you calculate it this way, Li Jing should be able to be named the deputy leader of the Tang Dynasty Destruction Heavenly Corps.

It’s so funny, Li Shimin is the leader, right?In this way, the martial virtues of the early Tang Dynasty were too abundant. 〗

Liu Bei's raised hand suddenly became a little stiff. He originally planned to imitate Kong Ming and write a note and throw it into the light curtain to praise his victory in Jingzhou.

But now after seeing the Tang Dynasty, Liu Bei's newly raised pride was suddenly dispelled without a trace.

Otherwise... we should wait until we really capture the thief Cao before we can boast to this eternal emperor?

Although he didn't know the specific achievements of Li Weigong, Liu Bei had already figured it out in his mind just by looking at a few of them:
Han Baiwei Huo.

You Shengzhi?
Zhang Fei was a little regretful:

"He's actually the second brother's companion!"

"It's a pity that my second brother couldn't see it with his own eyes."

Kong Ming smiled and said nothing, but sighed quietly when he saw the words "unfulfilled ambition".

At the same time, he was still thinking about the safe way to deal with Sima Yi.

When Emperor Xuan of Jin Dynasty can completely stop the trouble, it will be fun for him to chat with His Majesty Li Erfeng.

……

Li Jing's eyes in the Manlu Palace were completely dull:
Is this him?This seems so, but where did this lady and son come from?
And, what’s the point of not being able to defeat a monkey?
But no matter what Li Jing was thinking about, the eyes of others looking at the old general had completely changed:

Ascend to heaven and become a righteous god!And he is a king who sounds very prestigious!
Although I have used the curtain of light to peek into the distant universe of later generations, I have not seen the Moon Palace and Chang'e, but...who can say what will happen after death and death?

Li Shimin already laughed out loud:
"The pharmacist has become a god!" The emperor's thoughts were always simple:
The more virtuous the ministers are, the more it proves that he appoints people on their merits.

The stronger a general is, the better it is that he knows people well and is good at assigning them.

For the time being, he did not dwell on those wives who had good things and bad things. Li Jing bowed his hands in all directions in a graceful manner:
"The victory over the Turks was due to His Majesty's strategy, with the support of Mao Gong, the courage of Ding Fang, and the strong support of Ke Mingxuanling who lived in Chang'an. How dare you take credit?"

A few words took all the credit, and others hurriedly humbled each other.

At the same time, everyone felt a strange feeling in their hearts:

Actually serving as an official in the same court as a living god?
Young Wang Xuance also looked forward to it:

His biggest ambition before was just to make some achievements in Rongzhou and return to Beijing with his head held high.

But now, in just half a month, he has met His Majesty, the Prime Minister, the Duke, and even the gods. Wang Xuance can't help but want to emulate them:
Who doesn’t want to leave a lasting legacy?

[Li Jing was born in Li, Longxi. His grandfather was the governor of Yinzhou, Feng Yongkanggong, his father was the prefect of Zhao County, and his uncle was the famous general Han Qinhu of the Sui Dynasty.

I won’t talk about Han Qinhu’s achievements because he is more famous for his part-time job: King of Yama.

Yes, Han Qinhu is the prototype of the legendary Lord of the Underworld, and this matter was also written into the 24th History, which shows that the people at that time believed deeply.

In view of this background, Li Jing spent the first half of his life calmly.

There was no drama about villains causing trouble, and there was no drama about talents being unappreciated. I just became a laborer in the Sui Dynasty and spent 46 years like this.

At the age of 46, migrant worker Li Jing discovered that his boss Li Yuan was secretly recruiting troops.

Perhaps out of the mentality of being responsible for the salary he received, Li Jing disguised himself as a prisoner and planned to go to Jiangdu to find Yang Guanfa Li Yuan.

Unfortunately, the world was in chaos at that time, and Li Jing was blocked here when he moved to Chang'an. It didn't take long for Li Yuan to raise troops and captured Chang'an, and he arrested Li Jing.

Li Yuan's punishment for this old subordinate was death, and Li Jing had no choice but to shout at the execution ground:

You want to quell the riot and do something big, how can you be so petty and kill me because of old grudges?
Because of Li Yuan's good face and Li Shimin's intercession, Li Jing escaped and was incorporated into Li Shimin's shogunate.

Afterwards, Li Jing's life was as ordinary as water. After all, Li Shimin's staff was full of talents.

Moreover, His Highness the King of Qin fought fiercely and roared fiercely. Li Jing was not used to this fighting method, and all the major battles were basically familiar to him.

It was not until two years later that Li Yuan transferred Li Jing to the south to pacify Xiao Xian.

At that time, Xiao Mian had 40 troops, and the Jiangling natural barrier left by Guan Yu, no matter who looked at it, fighting for three to five years was the minimum.

But Li Jing, who was 50 years old at the time, spent two months:

Step one: It was raining heavily and everyone said they couldn't fight. Li Jing ordered troops to be sent out and went against the grain and captured the two important towns of Jingmen and Yidu.

Step [-]: Xiao Mian sent troops to resist. Li Jing said that if the enemy is weak, don't pursue them, but Li Xiaogong, the nominal commander, insisted on sending troops. The result was a huge defeat. However, facing Xiao Mian's army who was chasing Li Xiaogong, Li Jing led his army to fight back and won another victory.

Step [-]: After besieging Jiangling City, Li Jing put the captured naval vessels down the Yangtze River, making Xiao Mian's army downstream think that Jiangling had been conquered and would not send reinforcements.

And sure enough, just a few days later, Xiao Mian surrendered and the war ended.

After two months and only one battle, Li Jinggong was granted the title of Lord of Zhuguo and Yongkang County Duke. 】

"It's not that simple."

"After all, it took more than half a year to prepare for the war by observing the enemy's situation, formulating military strategies, and searching for fighter planes."

Li Jing waved his hands, but he couldn't hide the smile on his face.

Everyone else looked at the veteran sideways for a while:

Listen to what others have to say?
In any case, Xiao Mian falsely claimed the title of emperor, guarded the fortified city, held natural dangers, and claimed to have 40 soldiers.

Even if we include these six months, wouldn't it be outrageous to destroy a country in eight months?

Different from the reactions of other courtiers, Li Shimin nodded without any fuss and commented:
"good."

The ministers looked at His Majesty with a smile on his face, and then at the veteran with a smile on his face.

Thinking about the East Turkestan that was just wiped out last year, it seemed that it was not so difficult to accept for a while.

Almost as if they were blessed, Zhenguan's ministers now deeply understood the meaning of the word "involution" mentioned by Guangmu before.

For a moment, Du Ruhui sighed secretly in his heart:
With so many generals leading us, how easy is it for us to be a general in the Tang Dynasty?

But with so many famous generals competing, how difficult was it to become a general in the Tang Dynasty?

……

In the Chengdu government office, Liu Bei deeply admired Li Weigong.

When he was in his forties, he lamented the resurrection of his flesh in Jingzhou, while Li Weigong only started to lead the army and make meritorious deeds at the age of 50, but he still rose up.

At the same time, I deeply wondered: Is fighting really that easy?
After all, it was clear from the light screen that Li Weigong's "first step" was to conquer Yiling.

Well, it was the Yiling where he failed.

Zhang Fei turned to look at Kong Ming and advised him with distress:
"Commander, look at this person."

This sentence was enough. Kong Ming turned dark at that time and said with disgust:

"Go, go, go, Wu Qin Xi Liang has been practicing, and now he will definitely live to be over seventy!"
