This strong enemy will appear soon, which will make Xiao Mo feel that this person is too hateful and ruin his good future.

This person is Li Jing, who once offended Li Yuan and had a romantic leg with Hongfu.

However, Li Jing is not an immortal, he can easily win Xiao Mo like a chicken in one fell swoop, and the final victory is tortuous, and even almost lost his life.

Li Jing is also after several years of hard work and God's blessing, to settle Xiao Mill, the danger of walking on thin ice, always shrouded him, a little careless, the head will not be protected, not to the enemy is more ferocious, mainly when Li Yuan attacked Chang'an, he went to Emperor Yang of Sui to "report the attempt", so that Li Yuan was caught, and since then he has been haunted by him, thanks to Qin King Li Shimin saved his life. But Li Yuan didn't seem to want to see Li Jing die in this life, and always wanted to find an excuse to kill him and repay him for that little hatred back then, so Li Yuan sent him to Kuizhou (now Fengjie, Chongqing) to deal with Xiao Miao.

Li Yuan knew that Xiao Mo was a powerful character, Li Jing would definitely not be able to kill him, and sooner or later he would kill Li Jing.

Li Yuan sent Li Jing to the front line to beat Xiao Miao, which killed two birds with one stone: first, let Xiao Mi kill Li Jing. The second is to let Li Jing go to the front line to extinguish Xiao Miao's prestige, and remind him that the Tang Army is coming to destroy him.

Li Yuan didn't think that Li Jing could calm Xiao Mo at all, but he just played his little abacus without a pattern.

In the second year of Wude (619), this year finally gave Li Yuan the opportunity to kill Li Jing.

In August, Xiao Mo sent his general Yang Daosheng to capture Xiazhou (now Yichang, Hubei), Tang Dynasty assassin Xu Shao was a small enemy expert, Yang Daosheng did not take advantage of him, was beaten and fled back.

Xiao Mo changed his strategy, and then sent his general Chen Puhuan to lead the navy up the river to invade Xiazhou, Xu Zhiren, like his father Xu Shao, is also a little expert at resisting the enemy, and directly captured the enemy's leader Chen Puhuan alive, which seems to be better than his father Xu Shao.

Xiao Mo did not give up Xiazhou because of these two failures, but persevered to the death.

When Li Jing arrived in Xiazhou, he was hindered by Xiao Mo and could not move forward.

Li Yuan, who was always staring at Li Jing, finally seized the opportunity to punish Li Jing, and the crime was to ask him to go to Kuizhou to deal with Xiao Miao, but he stagnated in Xiazhou, so he wrote a secret edict to Xu Shao, asking him to behead Li Jing.

Coincidentally, Xu Shao is a virtuous person who loves talents and knows talents, and feels that Li Jing has millions of soldiers, but he has no opportunity to display his talents.

Therefore, he replied to Li Yuan that now that the war in the south is fierce and there is a need for talents, and it is precisely at the time of employing people that it would be wise to let Li Jing make meritorious contributions.

Li Yuan is not a mediocre man, and he thinks that what Xu Shao said makes sense, so he will not kill Li Jing first, and give him a chance to make meritorious service and atone for his crimes.

If Xu Shao is a mediocre official who can only listen to the words of his superiors, Li Jing can only become a small person in history who will die unjustly, like a bubble in a flash, and his future outstanding military exploits, success and fame, and his fame will have nothing to do with him.

Although Li Jing narrowly escaped the fate of being killed this time, the nervousness of being on the edge of the abyss made him soberly realize that if he did not make meritorious service as soon as possible, satisfied Li Yuan, and let himself have enough influence, he would not be so lucky to escape the butcher's knife again.

Next, the fight on the battlefield, for him, winning or losing is the ultimate meaning of his life.
