Spoiling History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

Now Kong Ming is still a little confident about his lifespan.

After all, the situation after the defeat of Yiling in the history of Light Curtain was too dangerous.

In order to protect Ji Han's remaining flame, Prime Minister Zhuge was almost forced to take over all the power, formulated a careful plan and tried his best to implement the plan.

But now there is no need for this at all.

The situation is not critical, and Junjie is not dead. He only needs to centrally control and check for leaks and fill in the gaps.

Even if there is really a serious problem, there is still the support of the lord.

There are Shi Yuan and Xiao Zhi in Hanzhong, and there are Yunchang and Yuan Zhi in Jingzhou. What is there to be afraid of?

But speaking of Jingzhou, it was a pity that Cao Mengde could not be captured... Kong Ming also secretly sighed in his heart.

Kong Ming and Xu Shu had the same view in this regard. In the final analysis, Cao's thieves escaped because there were too few soldiers.

We may not have such a good opportunity as Wancheng next time.

[Comparatively speaking, Li Jing's more well-known achievement is the destruction of the Eastern Turks.

Although it may seem unfeasible to destroy the Eastern Turks in history books with only a few lines of words, the Eastern Turks are by no means just a cat or a dog.

In the fourth year of Wude, Jieli Khan began to lead troops to invade and plunder the borders of the Tang Dynasty. The East Turks won more than they lost, and they were at war with the Tang Dynasty and at peace with each other, which made Li Yuan miserable.

In the seventh year of Wude, Li Yuan, who was greatly beaten, issued an edict to restore the establishment of the Twelve Army, strengthen defense, and expand the army to prepare for war.

In the ninth year of Wude, Jieli learned that after the Xuanwumen Incident, he led a hundred thousand troops to attack Wugong County in July. This place was not far from Wuzhangyuan and even closer to Chang'an, less than 100 kilometers away.

At that time, Yuchi Jingde took the command of Erfeng and fought against the Eastern Turks in Jingyang County. The history books here say they won, but in fact they could only be regarded as a repulse.

Because Jingyang County is only thirty kilometers away from Chang'an, it will be a big problem if it cannot be repelled.

But twenty days later, Jieli made a comeback, this time pushing to the north of Weishui River Bridge, only twenty kilometers away from Chang'an.

We all know what happened next. They formed an alliance and sent money. The Eastern Turks retreated with satisfaction, and Erfeng felt ashamed.

Some people say that if this Weishui Alliance had happened in the Song Dynasty, it would have been trumpeted as an incredible victory.

Because there is no need to cede land and pay annual coins every year, no need to call the country brother or uncle or nephew, no need to make him a king, and no need to use the royal children to pay debts, the country has not been destroyed, and the emperor has not been captured. 】

Everyone in the Ganlu Hall was familiar with the Weishui Alliance. After all, if we really counted, it had only been less than four years, so the memory was profound.

Moreover, now that Jieli has dedicated the Ancestral Temple and performed dances for His Majesty, the Eastern Turks have become history, so it is more casual to talk about it.

The focus today is undoubtedly Li Jing, who has not yet become Duke Wei.

The old general recalled a little and said:

At that time, His Majesty was having a conversation with Jie Li at Bianqiao, but secretly ordered his ministers and the Duke of Qi to ambush Youzhou. The edict stated that if Jie Li was defeated and retreated, he would lead his troops to fight out.

Li Jing nodded to Changsun Wuji and said:

At that time, I was worried that Your Majesty would lead troops into the Turkic formation in a rage and risk thousands of gold.

Yuchi Jingde, who often kept silent and acted like a transparent person, rarely expressed his opinion:

At that time, everyone said that the thieves were greedy for money and had no intention of fighting to the death. I led the troops without fear of death and directly captured the enemy's chieftains. The thieves were really frightened.

As he said this, the fighter felt a little regretful:

If Shu Bao can fight at that time, we and I will fight together. I can tear off that Jieli's head without any hesitation and offer it to Chang'an as soon as possible.

Qin Qiong, who still had a sickly look on her face, smiled and didn't say anything. She just patted the back of Yuchi Jingde's hand gently with her backhand.

Qin Qiong had been ill for many years, and the Xuanwu Sect had already been unable to fight without being able to fight. If he were allowed to fight with Jie Li, he would only be holding back his close friend.

Fang Xuanling still feels a little scared when she thinks about it now:

At that time, I saw everyone acting arbitrarily and riding out alone to invite Jie Li. Thinking about it now, it was such a risk!

Li Shimin shook his head lightly and said with a smile:

Whether I close the door or stay behind with my troops, I am showing weakness. The thieves will surely continue to plunder, and I will be safe and the people will die.

Riding alone is an act of showing strength by looking down on others, and others will feel uneasy if they do so.

And... Li Shimin thought about it and said:

The Turks have no military discipline to speak of. At that time, I and Jieli looked across the Wei River.

There are many handsome men who cross the river privately to pay me a visit, but it is hard to control them. There are also sons who have lost their ability to fight and have lost their mental strength to secretly offer suggestions, hoping to respond internally.

At that time, I knew that if I led the army to attack the people, they would be destroyed.

And there are auxiliary pharmacists in Youzhou leading the troops to set up an ambush, making the victory easy.

Of course... Li Shimin sighed softly, but everyone present was basically the person involved, so how could they not understand at this time.

In the final analysis, Li Shimin had just ascended the throne at that time, and he was not confident in his legality, so he did not dare to start the war lightly.

It is easy to win, but it is not known whether they can be encircled and annihilated. As long as Jieli escapes, he will have to fight for many years without any breathing space.

Li Jing knew the best, so he cupped his hands and said:

It is precisely because of His Majesty's patience at that time that he was able to slowly enjoy the dance of Jieli at the end of the year.

Only then did Li Shimin's smile reappear on his face, he just nodded lightly without saying a word.

As for the later jokes about Song, even if His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty did not say anything about it, it would not be easy for others to comment on it.

Even if they have doubts, Qin Qiong and Su Lie have people around them who can ask them. Only Wang Xuance is left feeling scratchy, but with the emperor beside him, it is not easy to ask rashly, which is very uncomfortable.

[As mentioned above, the strength of the Eastern Turks' troops is one hundred thousand.

Moreover, throughout history, farming peoples have always fought against nomadic peoples like fighting snakes. If they cannot hit seven inches in one blow, they will inevitably suffer from the repercussions.

For this battle, Li Jing also did it quickly and well.

In the first step, Li Jing once again did the opposite.

In the first month of the fourth year of Zhenguan, Li Jing led three thousand fine cavalry to brave the severe cold and rush for 200 miles to Dingxiang, Jieli's headquarters.

In ancient times, when fighting in winter, how to recover from the damage caused by the severe cold and how to maintain the combat effectiveness of soldiers has always been a problem.

History books do not record how Li Jing did it. We only know that the attack made Jie Li flee in fear.

When Li Jing sent out troops, there was another group of Li Jing who coordinated the attack. The two groups of soldiers and horses attacked Jie Li in relay, beating Jie Li into a frightened bird, and he hurriedly asked Er Feng for peace.

In the second step, if you think Li Jing has already won by surprise, then he should use Zhenghe, right? The result is not.

Faced with Jie Li's request for peace, Erfeng was quite sincere and sent Tang Jian to negotiate peace.

Who is Tang Jian? He had known Li Shimin since he was a child, and had a close friendship with him. Later, he became one of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, and could be said to be Erfeng's confidant.

The arrival of this important minister also made Jie Li relieved, but it also made Li Jing feel that the opportunity was not to be missed.

Tang Jian was still negotiating peace with Jie Li, but Li Jing had already ordered five thousand fine cavalry to attack.

Some people under Li Jing also objected, but Li Jing's answer was simple: Ask Tang Jian to die for his country.

This is why Han Xin broke the Qi Dynasty. What a pity for Tang Jian!

Jie Li, who had relaxed his vigilance, was beaten again, and then he ran away without his life. He met Li Jie again at Qikou and was beaten again.

Tang Jian did not die in this battle, and there was no comment afterwards.

The third step is to calmly close the net.

Jieli, who was completely crippled, gave up his fantasy and took his remaining troops to rush west for 1,500 miles, intending to defect to Tuyuhun or Gaochang State in the anti-Tang alliance.

As a result, they encountered Li Daozong's army waiting for help here, and Jieli was eventually captured.

This battle was coordinated by Erfeng and Li Jing was the strategist. The two fierce men of the early Tang Dynasty worked together.

In the end, it took only two months for the Eastern Turks, who had a hundred thousand riders to attack Chang'an on the Weishui River, to be destroyed. 】

Li Shimin realized the wonder of history, that is, according to the history of the light curtain, Jie Li should have just been captured at this time.

But... Li Shimin remembered that he had just summoned Jie Li once after the first month.

At that time, he also criticized Jieli for eating too much and being too fat, and issued a special edict that Jieli should not eat meat or fish for three months.

Of course he would not say that it was because seeing Jie Li getting fatter reminded him of An Lushan.

And in order to prevent headaches, Erlang of the Li family can only eat sheep once a month, and cannot eat fatty foods. How can this Hu man be so comfortable?

After throwing Jie Li out of his mind, Li Shimin immediately had an opinion:

“What is piss and mud?”

Mao Yue and I have known each other since we were friends when we were young, so how could we do such a shameful thing!

All the ministers looked at me with their eyes and noses, and looked at their hearts. Uh-huh, uh-huh, ah, ah, ah, it means that what you said is correct, Your Majesty.

However, Yan Liben almost immediately had a treasonous image in his mind, but he gave up after hesitating for a long time.

It's good now, but if His Majesty is forced to follow Emperor Wei Wu's old ways, he will regret it too late.

But please ask Tang Maoyue to die for his country... Li Shimin shook his head.

Of course, everyone knew that Han Xin had defeated Qi. At that time, they were also in a stalemate, and Li Shiqi volunteered to persuade him to surrender.

The result was that Han Xin's army attacked and won a great victory when Qi was about to surrender. The difference was that Li Shiqi was not as lucky as Tang Jian, and was cooked in a cauldron by the angry Qi army.

Li Shimin thought carefully and finally shook his head:

After the Wei River, I wanted to destroy Jie Li. How could I feel sympathy for him because of his temporary surrender?

Mao Yue's trip must be a way for the pharmacist to deceive others, and the pharmacist's words must also be to strengthen the morale of his own army!

Li Shimin was decisive.

There is already a slight deviation between what Datang and Guangmu know now. There is no need to explore whether it was a deliberate ambush or Li Jing's arbitrary act.

After all, it was easier to defeat Jieli, and since last year, Tang Jian has never stepped out of Chang'an or been in danger.

In this case, there is no need to say it anymore.

Li Jing didn't say a word, but bowed cautiously to Li Shimin. There was no need to talk about this matter anymore.

He also understood the meaning, and the monarch and his ministers smiled in tacit understanding.

…

The chief minister of the Chengdu government office was particularly upset.

The more they compared, the more Liu Bei felt the difference was.

Compared with destroying a country with a hundred thousand cavalry in March, he felt as if his Jingxiang was being beaten for fun.

National power, generals, soldiers, and monarchs are all incomparable.

Therefore, Liu Bei became more and more envious:

We must record this prosperous Tang Dynasty in detail so that future generations can have a goal to catch up.

Establish the Ji Han Dynasty, restore the strong Han Dynasty, and pursue the prosperous Tang Dynasty!
