94,Chapter 14 (6)
It can be seen that Li Yuan entrusted Li Jing with the major task of pacifying half of the southern part of the country, and Li Jing's brilliant career began.
The first step in Li Jing's road to destroying Xiao was to grant official positions to the children of the tribal chieftains in the Ba and Shu regions according to their abilities.
Li Xiaogong was very incomprehensible when he saw his move, and asked him why he did it for the officials who had rebelled against them?
Li Xiaogong can't fight, and his brain is not very good, and if Li Jing doesn't say it, he can't understand the Tao.
Li Jing placed their children, with the heavy responsibility as a temptation, let them be by his side, as a hostage, so as not to be a little careless, those tribesmen are demons again, he turned around to clean them up, it will delay a lot of time, energy and troops. At the moment, Xiao Mo has not completely calmed down, and he has to concentrate on fighting Xiao Mo to the death.
Li Xiaogong suddenly thought that Li Jing really had two brushes.
Prior to that, Xiao Milling was in disarmament.
Could it be that he has a problem with his brain, seeing that the Tang army is coming to destroy him, he has also reduced his troops.
He just couldn't help it.
The Xiao regime, there have been cracks inside, mainly because Xiao Mo is not an excellent politician, because he is narrow-minded, easy to be suspicious, plus his subordinates are disobedient, like a naturally stubborn child, arrogant and arrogant, but also killing, simply lawless, let Xiao Mo worry, what a group of unreliable guys, how can these people let him win the world? He really didn't have the confidence. Right now, what he fears most is that they turn against him. As a result, he implemented the policy of releasing soldiers and farmers, that is, letting the soldiers go home to farm, which was completely his own digging pit, which led to the collapse of most of the garrison around Gangneung.
In September, Li Xiaogong set out from Kuizhou, when the water flow of the Xiajiang River was fierce, and the people saw that the water was so big, and retreated, suggesting that they wait for the water to fall before marching. No matter what happens, the people who can stand out in the end, the people who make people worship, are always those who think differently from most people, Li Jing, who is full of talent and insights, said: "The soldiers are fast...... Xiao Mill will definitely think that the river water rises sharply in autumn, which is not conducive to sailing, we will not attack them, we will not attack them without knowing anything, we will mobilize troops, troops under their city, attack them unprepared, we will definitely be able to capture Xiao Mill alive, this is a godsend! How can we back down? ”
Although Li Yuan's eldest nephew, Li Xiaogong, does not like to use his brains and can come up with a few good ideas at a critical moment, when others have good ideas, he still has the judgment and immediately accepts Li Jing's suggestion and orders the army to move forward quickly.
As Li Jing expected, Xiao Mo really thought that the river was rising sharply, and Tang Jun would be afraid of the water and would not come to trouble them.
If a person's heart is perceived, it will be easy to be manipulated by others.
Xiao Mo neglected to take precautions, and Li Xiaogong led 2,000 warships down the river and broke through Xiao Miao's defense line like a bamboo. Jingmen, the gateway to the capital of Jiangling, Yidu is owned by them,
The rapid attack of the Tang army completely shocked Xiao Miao, and he was not lightly frightened, he didn't expect his enemy to be so unaware.
Wen Shihong, the general under Xiao Mill, led tens of thousands of elite soldiers and stationed them in Qingkou in order to increase reinforcements at any time.
Soon, the two sides fought a big battle at Yiling (present-day Yichang, Hubei).
The Tang army finally won this battle, but the process was a bit tortuous, and it was all because Li Xiaogong's brain could not turn, and the brain circuit was too simple.
