"The prosperity of the Tang Dynasty is obvious to all. Li Jing's three-year victory over the Turks is also the main military exploit I am talking about this time. Of course, as a "Military God", this is just one of his achievements!"

"Li Jing, named Pharmacist, is from Sanyuan, Yongzhou. He is from the Guanlong noble family. He and Li Yuan are the same Li family in Longxi, but they have been estranged for a long time."

"He first served in the Sui Dynasty, but later saw through the darkness of the Sui Dynasty, switched to the Tang Dynasty, and was recruited into the shogunate by Li Shimin. He was a tall and handsome man with all-round talents in both civil and military affairs."

"We, the later generations, call him "Military God". It can be seen that this person's ability is not only in fighting, but also in commanding and employing troops."

"In the third year of Wude, King Li Shimin of Qin surrendered Wang Shichong, and Xiao Xian of the Southern Liang Dynasty attempted to attack Xiazhou of the Tang Dynasty. Li Yuan sent Li Jing to lead troops to stop him. During the war, Li Jing led 5000 soldiers to attack his camp, defeating the barbarians, and then laid an ambush at a strategic location. , killed Zhaoze in one battle, captured more than [-] people, and achieved the first great achievement in his life."

"There are many achievements, the most important one is the Turks."

"The Han Dynasty fought against the Huns, while the Tang Dynasty fought against the Turks. Some people may think that the Han Dynasty fought against the Huns for ten years, but Li Jing only fought against the Turks for three years. It is too simple. It is definitely not as powerful as the Xiongnu, and it is indeed a bit There is a difference, but I don’t think there is much difference!”

"The Xiongnu and the Turks are two very similar powerful nomadic peoples that appeared in different periods in our country's history. The Xiongnu were stronger than the Qin and Han Dynasties, and the Turks flourished in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. They controlled the Western Regions, blocked the Silk Road, and both posed a huge threat to the Central Plains dynasty. .”

"When explaining Wei Zifu, I talked about the "strongest dowry", that is, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing led the army to fight fiercely with the Xiongnu tribe for decades. Although they won the victory, they lost a large number of soldiers and only left the national treasury. Not much, the two of them fought against the Huns for ten years and lost a lot of military supplies and resources, but Li Jing only spent three years and didn't suffer much loss!"

"The two nations are actually very different in terms of military strength and land area. The only difference is "cohesion", which is to put it bluntly, unity.

"Except for the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu were basically unable to make big waves. For example, the Dayue clan once challenged the Xiongnu. As a result, the king's head was made into a wine cup. As for the other small countries in the Western Regions, they were basically soy sauce, and The Turks are different. In addition to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the Turks also have to face powerful enemies such as Tibet and Uighur."

"When all nations came to the dynasty, the Tang Dynasty had many allies. The Uighurs were the allies of the Tang Dynasty, and they contributed a lot in the process of destroying the Turks."

"Since Maodun Shanyu unified the Xiongnu until they were defeated by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu basically had no civil strife during this period and were very united."

"The reason why the Five Kingdoms fought for the throne in the later period was because they were beaten by the Han Dynasty and couldn't survive in Mobei. Later, some of the Huns surrendered to the Han Dynasty, and some of them fled to Europe and became the people of God. Whip, beat the Europeans to death."

"Looking back, we are looking at the Turks. It can be said that in terms of unity and cohesion, the Turks directly defeated the Huns."

"The Turks were originally a loose nomadic empire with internal disputes every day. In 581 AD, the Turkic Great Khan Shaboluu directly established three khans in order to "live a stable life."

"Originally, Sabolo wanted them to be more stable. Who would have thought that not long after, Datou Khan and Apo Khan joined forces to fight against Sabolo. A three-year-long war broke out between the two. In the end, the Turks The Khanate split into the Eastern and Western Turks in 583. In the following ten years, not only the Eastern and Western Turks were fighting, but their internal tribes with different surnames were also rebelling."

"Through these, the Huns are indeed stronger than the Turks, but the difference between the Huns and the Turks is thousands of years. The productivity and civilization of the Turks will definitely be higher than that of the Huns. There are also some military equipment that will increase the victory or defeat rate on the battlefield. This is not the case. The method has been calculated specifically, so I say the difference is not too big."

"On the eve of the reunification of the Tang Dynasty, the world was in chaos. The East Turks were powerful and rampant. Li Jing was good at commanding troops and was one of the heroes who established the Tang Dynasty. Li Shimin trusted him very much and ordered Li Jing to lead an army of [-] to the East Turks. Fight to the death.”

"This war was essentially extremely unfair. Li Jing led an army of 30 people to fight against an army of [-] Eastern Turks. With such a disparity in comparison, the result can be imagined." "However, under the guidance of Li Jing, It actually turned the tide of the war completely."

"Li Jing relied on his many years of war strategy. He knew that if he faced them head-on, he would naturally suffer a loss in terms of the number of troops. He changed his tactics and divided the cavalry and infantry into a joint attack to encircle the Eastern Turks on all sides and win the war."

"The victory of the East Turks not only gave the Tang Dynasty its first victory in foreign campaigns, but also earned Li Jing the praise of "managing troops like a god"."

"However, Li Jing was called the "Military God" by later generations. He not only achieved irreversible victory in the war to capture the Eastern Turks, but also made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty's war to regain surrounding political power."

"In the war with Tuyuhun, Li Jing used counterintuitive tactics to attack grain and grass and annihilate all the opposing troops. In these two wars, Li Jing's strategic guidance was superb, and his military skills attracted many people to learn from them."

"In the 23rd year of Zhenguan, Li Jing died of illness at the age of 79. The book was given to Situ and the governor of Bingzhou, and he was given the posthumous title of 'Jingwu' and was buried with Zhaoling."

"Li Jing's military management and combat experience further enriched the military thoughts and theories of Zhonghua Kingdom. He also wrote many military books such as "Li Jing's Six Military Mirrors", which unfortunately have been lost."

"His death was only due to his own illness. This is much better than the other two who were killed due to excessive merit. Not only did he use soldiers to fight, he was also a man of great talent in the world. He had countless famous generals as his disciples, and served as generals and prime ministers. The ruler of the country.”

"In the end, he was able to avoid the suspicion of the monarch, be honored and favored throughout his life, and start well and finish well. Li Jing achieved meritorious service, morality, and good reputation throughout his life, and was tested throughout his life. This is indeed a perfect life for an ancient general with no regrets, which is enough to make history Most famous players in the world are out of reach.”
