Spoiling History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

Li Jing's two march routes to destroy Tuyuhun were clearly marked on the light screen.

Everyone in the Chengdu government office could also see clearly that this marching route was still eye-catching even from the perspective of the entire Tang Dynasty.

Chasing from Hexi to the Western Regions, the original champion Hou Changqi struck the thunder with six moves. This must be his style!

Kong Ming said it was a pity. Li Wei Gong of the Tang Dynasty was indeed a god in his military use, but we are not bad at it. I wonder when we can see the champion's military use from the perspective of future generations?

Although Kong Ming could give a rough idea of ​​the champion's achievements by pointing at the map, the moving map in the light screen was more intuitive.

Zhang Fei also felt a serious sense of crisis for the first time.

He has been reading more historical records recently, which also describe Wei Huo's achievements, but his mentality when reading historical records is naturally different from what he sees like this.

After all, Cao Cao claimed to have an army of 800,000 in the Battle of Chibi, but if there were actually 800,000 troops, Cao Cao's own logistics would probably be overwhelmed first, regardless of whether Zhou Gongjin could win.

But when Li Weigong's achievements and marching plan were actually in front of him, the feeling was completely different.

Zhang Fei thought to himself that if he were allowed to lead the army against Li Weigong, all he could rely on would be his bravery.

And in terms of this bravery, the Tang army was not lacking at all.

The two generals surnamed Xue who were surrounded and could fight back on the spot, and the Qi who dared to charge at thousands of cavalry with only a hundred cavalry, Zhang Fei might not be able to do any better if he was allowed to go up.

Is Zilong free these days?

Zhang Fei made up his mind and approached Zhao Yun:

Is there time for me to take a look at that motley knight?

Zhao Yun's face was speechless. If he can ride well, he can ride well. What if he has to wear mixed colors?

[Some people say that Li Jing may be the most boring military god in history.

Because he can make a magnificent and epic war feel like nothing.

Before the war, he knew that the enemy would hit the target, and he was well-aimed during the battle. The battle situation was uneventful. This is the portrayal of Li Jingsi's war to destroy the country.

All civil and foreign wars have been fought, and the navy and cavalry are all proficient.

From rivers to deserts, from mountains to plateaus, from sieges to pursuits, all battles are won.

At the same time as Wei Huo, there was another military wizard in the West, Caesar, the founder of the Roman Empire.

After defeating his opponent in the Battle of Zela, the uncrowned king sent a famous victory message to the Senate:

I come, I see, I conquer.

Brief words can also be used as the best annotation of Li Jing's career battles.

Attack, destroy the enemy, and destroy the country.

It's a simple three-step process, but countless generals from ancient times to the present have struggled with it and failed to get the point.

The few battles in his career were all about quick wins. There were no rally-style logistical competitions, no long-term confrontations waiting for the opponent to make mistakes, and no one-of-a-kind gambles where the troops were in danger.

It was precisely by relying on this method of warfare that was quite healthy and did not waste national power in vain that the early Tang Dynasty was able to destroy the country while restoring people's livelihood without delay.

Some people say that the role of a peerless general is to speed up the process of history. Li Jing undoubtedly completed this job very well.

And in the end, his old age was still smooth sailing:

In the eleventh year of Zhenguan, he was granted the title of Duke of Wei, and he was extremely favored.

In the fourteenth year of his life, Li Jing's wife passed away. The old man was heartbroken. In order to comfort and commend the old general, Erfeng built Li Jing's mausoleum in the shape of the Turkic Iron Mountain and the Tuyuhun Stone Mountain, imitating the old story of Wei Huo, to highlight his military achievements.

In the seventeenth year, Erfeng felt that the old brothers who had conquered the world together were gradually withering away, so he ordered Yan Liben to paint twenty-four heroes in Lingyan Pavilion. Li Jing was ranked eighth, behind Yuchi Jingde.

In the eighteenth year, Erfeng personally conquered Goguryeo. Before setting off, he asked Li Jing if he would go. Li Jing said, Your Majesty, you will definitely take me with you when I get better soon.

But Erfeng Xunsi, the old general is already over seventy, so he might as well take good care of him.

However, this story is recorded in Jiahua of Sui and Tang Dynasties that Li Jing was unwilling to go. Erfeng smiled and said:

It is said that in the past Sima Zhongda was not immune to old age and illness, but he was able to strengthen himself and become a member of the Wei Dynasty.

The seventy-three-year-old Li Jing was so frightened that he walked quickly and begged to come with him.

But I have to say that Jiahua of the Sui and Tang Dynasties was written before and after the Anshi Rebellion, and this book is classified as a notebook novel, so it is enough to read it, but it is difficult to take it seriously.

In the 23rd year of Zhenguan, Li Jing became seriously ill. Li Shimin dragged his body, which was also seriously ill, to see Li Jing for the last time.

In May of the same year, Li Jing died of illness. He was given the posthumous title Jingwu and was buried in Zhaoling. Li Shimin died of illness two months later, and the Zhenguan reign was completely ended.

Compared with Bai Qi, Han Xin and Yue Fei, who did not die well, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing each had their own regrets.

Li Jing's life was as smooth as his fighting style.

However, when this old man died of illness, it was probably difficult to imagine that his wonderful posthumous affairs had just begun. 】

〖Zhuge Liang: In the Song Dynasty, it was unwise to kill capable ministers and generals when faced with foreign enemies! 〗

The most boring military god... Li Shimin couldn't help but smile.

Du Ruhui started writing and sighed:

Do not show off your wisdom, do not boast about your bravery, and do not show off your victory. The Medicine General is really a good warrior as Sun Tzu said.

“I don’t know how many people have read Sun Tzu’s Art of War throughout the ages, but there are only a few who can do what Sun Tzu said in The Art of War.”

Li 𪟝 nodded and said:

As Du Shangshu said, there is no one better than a pharmacist-general in the use of troops.

Such a famous general is a valuable treasure. It is not appropriate for the military to be involved in danger. Please cherish your life for the country.

If you don't want to live in Chang'an to teach the art of war, and rush into battle and risk your life, please let Li 𪟝 do it!

Li 𪟝's words were sonorous and powerful, but the meaning behind them was too straightforward. Even Du Ruhui hurriedly covered his face, fearing that he would laugh outright.

Li Jing immediately opened his eyes:

In the battle to exterminate the Turks, I asked you to help share the work because of your thick eyebrows and big eyes, but in the end, you focused on the meat in my pot first?

After capturing Jieli, the north is empty. I see that Xue Yantuo seems to be rebellious, and we urgently need a veteran general to take over to frighten his troops.

Li 𪟝 has been in charge of Bingzhou for a long time, which is just the right time to scare Xue Yantuo.

Li Jing immediately found a good place for Li 𪟝.

Xue Yantuo's pearl, Viga Khan, whose real name is Yi Nan, was newly canonized by Li Shimin last year.

Li 𪟝 does not deny that Xue Yantuo needs to be beaten sooner or later, but it is far from now.

Laughing at the bickering between the two veterans, Li Shimin was very interested in the good news named Caesar:

Seven short words, although the words are straightforward, the meaning of disdain suddenly arises.

Yuchi Jingde was always a man of few words. Qin Qiong turned around and said with a smile:

Are you sorry that we can't be enemies?

The word regret was written directly on Li Shimin's face:

I wish I could lead Jingde Shubao as a sharp edge and charge into the formation.

He said a little sadly:

It has been eight years since Mingshui was restored.

At the age of twenty-three, he defeated Liu Heitai at the Battle of Mingshui. This was the last battle in which Li Shimin fought with all his strength.

Since then, the world has become peaceful, and General Tiance no longer carries his sword but instead carries his pen.

Now only thirty years old, he can still ride a horse for hundreds of miles and hit the target with a strong bow a hundred paces away.

But there is no opponent who can make him go all out.

Li Shimin's face was as lonely as snow, and then he broke the news when he heard that he compared Li Jing to Sima Yi:

Defined as a false accusation!

How can Sima Yi, a man who was loyal and deceptive and cunning, compare to the Medicine Master General!

The officials in Ganlu Palace discussed this one after another and felt that this was nonsense:

Did the Medicine General feel full or something?

Then Sima Yi didn't usurp Wei just by slapping his head. How much preparation work had been done before this?

Moreover, General Medicine Master may be like a god with his troops, but our Majesty seems to be even better, right?

Fang Xuanling concluded:

Most of them were later generations of literati who only listened to the gossip, and just for fun, they slightly polished it and recorded it in their private books.

So the matter was left unspoken.

Li Jing looked at the back and calculated his lifespan, and then his face was free and easy:

What an honor it is for me to retire with Your Majesty.

Compared with Li Jing's free and easy face, Li Shimin looked helpless.

Mr. Pharmacist, I am twenty-eight. I didn't expect that it would only be two months before I left.

But... Li Shimin immediately patted Sun Simiao beside him:

Now that I have Sun Yaowang, it seems that I will not be able to go with the old general!

Ganlu Hall was originally a private meeting, so Li Shimin was quite relaxed and said whatever came to his mind.

Li Jing also laughed, and then saw the words on the light screen, and couldn't help but smile:

It seems that Marquis Wu is complaining about General Yue.

Li Shimin had briefly told them about the Wuhou Temple in later generations, and about Yue Fei, who had written a personal letter to serve as a teacher and determined to go to the Northern Expedition.

Now the Emperor of Song seemed to be watching this light curtain, so it was expected that Marquis Wu would complain about it.

Didn't you notice that when Your Majesty mentioned that the Song Dynasty who succeeded the Tang Dynasty was also full of complaints?

…

Zhao Kuangyin in Bianjing Garden felt a little aggrieved for a moment:

How do I know who this Yue Fei is?

Zhao Kuangyin already felt aggrieved when he saw Guangmu's gossip about the Weishui Alliance and inexplicably turned it on him again, the Song Dynasty.

But he has been criticized by his ministers face to face enough times, not least this time.

Because Zhao Kuangyin thought carefully... and endured it.

As a result, another accusation came, and it was still in the name of Zhuge Wuhou.

Zhao Kuangyin was full of doubts for a while:

Is that Song really my Song? But why?

[In fact, from the mythological context of Li Jing sorted out by later generations, Li Jing should have seen the prototype of his own god statue.

It is well known that both the Sui and Tang Dynasties worshiped Buddhism. The Yuan Dynasty's The Origins of the Three Religions recorded this story:

When Li Shimin followed his father to raise an army to pacify the world, a god general came to the army.

He has the head of a pig and the trunk of an elephant, and calls himself King Bishamon.

With this divine general in charge, Li Shimin was invincible in every battle. Later, out of gratitude after Li Shimin ascended the throne, he issued an edict that all the government offices in the world should sacrifice to King Bishamon.

This story is of course nonsense. After all, it is too troublesome to explain to ordinary people how Li Shimin is invincible. It is very straightforward to tell him directly that Li Shimin is protected by a god.

The belief in Bishamonten comes from Indian Buddhism. He is both a protector and a god of wealth. He has experienced the baptism of Buddhism in the Northern and Southern Dynasties and the Sui Dynasty. People in the Tang Dynasty also worshiped Buddhism, so it is common to worship Bishamonten.

However, Mr. Li Jing probably never imagined that after his death, his image as a military god would gradually merge with King Bishamon and seize him. 】

National Day is so busy...
