In this way, Ye Wen, Lin Xiaomei, and the matchmaker have been "poof... Poof...", and finally I felt hungry, so I went down to prepare lunch. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Ye Wen looked at the bill he had taken this morning, it was really crazy. However, it is nothing to spend his own money on his wife.

After lunch, Ye Wen didn't stay at home for long, and it was Li Jing who was going to visit today.

There are many records of him in folk novels, and his wife is in the Tang Dynasty novel "The Legend of the Thirty-Three Swordsmen" in the "Legend of the Bearded Guest", for the Sui and Tang dynasties, one of the "Three Heroes of Wind and Dust", her surname is Zhang, her name is out of the dust, Wuxing, Jiangnan (now from HZ City, ZJ Province.

Zhang Chuchen is Li Jing's confidante and wife. Although Zhang Chuchen is unknown in the official history, in the wild history and folklore, she is a strange woman. The story of her insight into heroes is a story of the ages.

Needless to say, people who love ancient military affairs are known as the "God of War" and "Martial Saint" of the Tang Dynasty

Li Jing is a SX person, he was born in a famous family, his grandfather was a high-ranking official at the county level, such as Assassin Shi and Taishou, which is equivalent to our current governor, and Li Jing's uncle Han Baohu was a famous general of the Sui Dynasty at that time. Han Baohu and He Ruobi were the two most famous generals when the Sui Dynasty destroyed Chen, and with such an uncle, it can be seen that Li Jing was a son of a high-ranking cadre.

Superior family conditions have allowed Li Jing to receive a good education since he was a child, and he often discusses the art of war with his uncle, so Li Jing has had good military literacy since he was a child. It stands to reason that Li Jing has someone in his family, and he is also angry, Li Jing's career should be smooth sailing, but it backfired, Li Jing's career was not smooth sailing, but full of ups and downs.

At the beginning, Li Jing became the Gongcao of Chang A County, which was equivalent to a small section chief of a district, and although he was later promoted, he was only a member of the rack department, a petty official from the sixth grade. When Li Jingdu reached his forties, he got the opportunity to be released and went to Mayi County to serve as a county leader. Jun Cheng is the adjutant of the magistrate of a county, Taishou, and he is the sixth grade, and his position has only been promoted a little!

Mayi County was at the forefront of the defense against the Northern Turks and was often attacked by the Turks. In this way, Li Jing had a resume of defending nomads, and was later transferred by Li Er to the north to guard the border.

Li Jing served in the local government, and his life was not good. The top boss Wang Rengong can only be corrupt and take bribes, ignore local political affairs, and blindly favor Liu Wuzhou, who later rebelled. What's more, Li Jing offended the head of his immediate boss because of his work relationship, Taiyuan stayed behind Li Yuan. As the highest military and political commander of the large military region, Li Yuan may find an excuse to kill Li Jing one day.

It didn't take long for the calamity to come. Liu Wuzhou suddenly rebelled, killed the Taishou Wang Rengong, occupied Mayi, hunted down and killed Great Sui officials everywhere, and at the same time colluded with the Turks, and successively captured the neighboring counties of Yanmen and Loufan. Fortunately, Li Jing was more alert, and when he saw that something was wrong, he hurriedly ran to Taiyuan and escaped.

But when he went to Taiyuan, he found that this Li Yuan was not a good bird, and he actually recruited troops and horses under the banner of pacifying Liu Wuzhou, and at first glance he was preparing to rebel. Li Jing had no choice but to continue to run, and by the time Li Yuan received the report, Li Jing had already run away. Li Yuan hated it so much that he ordered to speed up the pace of the army.

However, when Li Jing finally ran to the capital Chang'an, he found that the emperor Lao'er was not at home, and now he was having fun in Jiangnan! Li Jing has no choice, he can't go to Jiangnan to report to the emperor anymore! Forget it, let's talk about it after waiting for the emperor to return home in Chang'an.

At this time, the Great Sui is full of wolf smoke and wind and rain! Yang Guang, who Li Jing has been looking forward to, has never returned to Chang'an in this life!

Within half a year, Li Yuan captured Chang'an, and of course Li Jing was also captured by the way. Li Yuan saw that this kid had finally fallen into the palm of his hand, and he didn't bother to say a word to him, just one word.

"Slash!"

Li Jing really panicked, he didn't expect death to come so soon. He has not yet displayed his talents, has not realized his ambitions, has not yet been crowned a marquis, and has not yet ...... At this time, Li Jing suddenly remembered a lot, just at the moment when the order came down!

Suddenly, Li Jing saw that maybe he should really change his master, as long as he can survive.

Li Jing struggled and shouted: "Tang Gong, you raised troops to quell the riots in the world, don't you want to make a big deal?" Why kill a strong man for personal vendettas? "In ancient times, a strong man was not something that anyone could be, and those who dared to say that they were strong men generally had two brushes. An example like Li Jing has also appeared in the past, that is, Han Xin of the Han Dynasty, both of whom survived because of such a voice.

Li Yuan can do this, he is not a mediocre and incompetent person, plus Li Er saw that Li Jing was very talented, and he also helped persuade him, just like that, Li Jing was saved from death and finally survived.

At the beginning, Li Jing entered Li Shimin's general staff, and during the period of conquest of forces in the Yellow River Valley, there was no special performance. Li Jing's rise to prominence in the Tang Dynasty began with the conquest of the separatist forces in the south of the Yangtze River Valley.

In the second year of Wude, Li Yuan suddenly ordered Li Jing to be transferred out of the Qin Palace, so that he could follow Li Xiaogong to pacify the Xiao Milling forces entrenched in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. Li Jing had an excellent performance in the early stage of this war, and when Li Xiaogong was defeated, Li Jing led 800 men to attack the enemy generals, beheaded the enemy leader, and captured 5,000 men and horses, turning the tide of the war at once.

Through this battle, Li Yuan finally let go of his past hatred for Li Jing, and wrote a letter saying that he would not blame the past and let him work hard in the future. At the same time, it was ordered to appoint Li Jing as the chief of the march and the chief of staff of Li Xiaogong. In this way, Li Jing finally had the opportunity to show his strengths.

Although Li Jing was 50 years old at this time, which was already very old for the ancients, for Li Jing, the glory of life had just begun.

With Li Jing's advice and help, Li Xiaogong quickly eliminated Xiao Miao's forces and brought the Yangtze River valley under the rule of the Tang Dynasty. Because of Li Jing's excellent performance in this war, he was named the Shangzhu State and the Duke of Yongk County by Li Yuan, and concurrently served as the assassin of Jingzhou. Then, Li Jing crossed the Wuling Mountains and came to the current GX Guilin, and sent people to appease the leaders of the local ethnic minorities. Under Li Jing's grace and power, large areas of territory in Central China and South China successively belonged to the Tang Dynasty, allowing the southern territorial power of the Tang Dynasty to reach the South China Sea.

Li Yuan was even happier, and promoted Li Jing again, appointing him as the ambassador of Lingnan Province and the governor of Guizhou. It didn't take long for Li Jing to receive an order to accompany Li Xiaogong to quell the rebellion of Fu Gongyou. In this war, Li Jing has been promoted to second-in-command, which is no longer the same as in the past.

Fugong Qi is entrenched in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, although it nominally surrendered to Datang, but Datang does not have much control here, so Fugong Qi is basically in a semi-independent state. By quelling this rebellion, Fugong Qi's territory was truly in the hands of the Tang Dynasty. So far, the entire Yangtze River basin has been brought under the control of Datang.

In this battle, Li Jing strictly enforced military discipline, pacified the people, and quickly pacified all parts of the south of the Yangtze River, becoming the number one hero. Li Yuan commented on Li Jing and thought that he was comparable to famous generals such as Han Xin, Bai Qi, Wei Qing, and Huo Qubing in ancient times. This evaluation is very high, and it is also due to Li Yuan, who has a personal vendetta with Li Jing, which shows that Li Jing is worthy of the title of "God of War" and "Martial Saint" of the Tang Dynasty.

After the reunification of the whole country, the northern territory was still facing a serious threat, and the Turkic Chen soldiers bordered from time to time to invade and plunder in the south, seriously interfering with the economic construction of the Tang Dynasty. As a result, Li Jing was once again transferred north to take on the heavy task of fighting the Turks.

Later, Li Er took advantage of the favorable opportunity of the Turkic civil strife and made up his mind to destroy the Turks. However, because of his outstanding military achievements, Li Jing had previously been engaged in the task of defending the Turks, and now he had been stationed on the northern border for a long time and was more familiar with Turkic affairs, so he was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Sixth Route Army and was fully responsible for the war.

Li Jing also reached the most glorious apex of his life because of this war.

The Northern Expedition to the Turks achieved a major victory, and the biggest contributors were Li Jing and Li Shiyun, especially Li Jing, who made a frontal attack every time, broke Jieli's resistance, and played a vital role in the whole war. In order to celebrate the victory of this war, Li Er ordered Chang'an to have a five-day holiday, and the whole world celebrated together, and warmly welcomed the return of the soldiers of the Northern Expedition.

Li Er cordially received the two heroes, and the three of them first had a cordial talk. At the meeting, Li Er first expressed his condolences to the soldiers of the expedition, said that he was very concerned about them, expressed great satisfaction with their victories, and fully affirmed the leadership work of Li Jing and others...... Li Jing and Li Shiyun were humble again and again, saying that they were able to achieve victory because of His Majesty the Emperor's blessings and wise guidance, otherwise they would not have won...... I am willing to achieve great results under the leadership of His Majesty.

Just when the enthusiasm of the monarchs and ministers had not passed, Li Er's face suddenly changed, and he said, "Someone below has impeached you, Li Jing." How do you explain that you are careless in military discipline, plundering by arson, enriching your own pockets, and embezzling war property? Li Jing never dreamed that the emperor's face would become so fast, and with a plop, he knelt on the ground, hurriedly calling his guilt and begging for forgiveness.

Here we can see that the past experience has taught Li Jing a lot of truths, including struggle and self-preservation in politics. Therefore, at that time, in the Xuanwumen Change, Li Jing adopted a neutral attitude and did not support Li Er. Because, at that time, neutrality was also a kind of self-preservation, no matter who won or lost in the end, he would make a profit without losing money, and for Li Er, being neutral was also a kind of help to him, neutrality, it was better to go to Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng to sue him for rebellion.

And now Li Jing is not like the previous group of martial artists, crying and shouting that he was wronged, Li Jing understands that this is politics, this is the king's imperial technique, he should not argue, but to show that he did wrong, regret it, and hope that you can forgive the attitude.

This is the politics of antiquity. The reason why this situation occurs is because of four words: high merit covers the master.

Military generals are still needed to fight wars, and the emperor always uses civil servants to balance the power of military generals. When a military general has made great achievements, the emperor is happy that his country is more stable, but he will worry about whether this person will rebel, and everyone understands that power comes out of the barrel of a gun. None of the people who can get to this point have a low IQ. It's just a matter of what you do with it.

The measures taken by Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang are very simple, but they are also very effective, one word, "kill!" "These heroes and generals are all dead, of course they won't rebel again, if they do, they will run to the underworld, then it's none of their emperors' business! The emperors, represented by Li Shimin and Zhao Kuangyin, took a mild attitude. These two emperors basically had a good time with their old comrades-in-arms all their lives, and everyone didn't make any trouble.

But even a monarch like Li Er still has to spur and spur when a general has made great contributions, and Wenchen also understands this, and figuring out the holy will is a compulsory course for a politician. Therefore, every time after the war, there would always be several impeachment reports, which obviously did not match the atmosphere at that time, but it was also the most favorite thing for the emperor to see at that time.

Li Er criticized Li Jing very harshly, Li Jing has been admitting his mistakes there, in fact, everyone is acting, and they also understand what is going on, but the passing scene that should be taken is still to be gone. In the end, the emperor said, you see that you have made such great contributions, but you have also committed so many crimes, you can't be this official, but I know that you are a person, and you don't have a heart, so I still promoted you to an official, and I will pay more attention to myself in the future! You can't let me defend you every time, sometimes I'm embarrassed...... Anyway, it is to make you grateful to Dade, and the things you got in exchange for your life are just souvenirs from the emperor. Of course, he hated Wenchen when he encountered an unknown general, but this was exactly what the emperor liked to see; When you meet someone who understands, like Li Jing, try to be as careful as possible in what you do in the future, and you can't let yourself die well.

Afterwards, Li Jing was named the acting prince of the country and replaced the dead Du Ruhui as the right servant of Shangshu.

Li Shichang was appointed by Li Er as the governor of the prefecture, responsible for guarding the northern border.

Who stays outside and who stays by his side, it seems that Li Er still has a number in his heart!

Li Jing's exploits are probably listed in his four greatest military exploits, each of which is crucial, and it can be said that success or failure can affect the development of history.

For the first time, the local separatist force Xiao Milling was broken, and Xiao Milling was captured in Chang'an.

The second time, he broke the Danyang Song regime and captured Gongyou to Chang'an.

The third time, in the early years of Zhenguan, the DTZ was broken to remove the northern threat of the Tang Dynasty.

The fourth time, he broke Gu Hun and forced his king to death, and set up another puppet regime.

These were only the four largest wars in Li Jing's life, the first two concerning the reunification of the whole country, and the last two concerning national security and foreign interests.

In addition, Li Jing also made important contributions to the development of Lingnan, and the Tang Dynasty's ability to successfully pacify the south and force the separatist forces of Guangzhou, Guangzhou, Yunnan and Guizhou to surrender to the Tang Dynasty was inseparable from Li Jing's efforts.

Li Er trusted Li Jing and was very relieved that he was in command of the army. And Li Jing is also relatively humble, does not talk much, is kind, and Li Shimin still appreciates his loyalty and character. Someone once falsely accused Li Jing of rebellion, but unfortunately, this person was immediately arrested and put in prison by Li Shimin!

On the eve of Li Er's expedition to Goryeo, he went to visit Li Jing's house and said: "You are fighting Wuyue in the south, fighting the Turks in the north, and Tuguhun in the west, only Goryeo in the east is still not convinced, do you want to try it?" ”

At that time, Li Jing was already over seventy years old, and his body was not good, and his body was still sick, but as soon as he heard this, he immediately came to his senses and immediately said: "Your Majesty, as long as you let me go, my illness will be cured immediately!" ”

This is a soldier, who has no self in his heart, only the country, and screams with excitement when he hears about the war; As soon as they heard that there was a fight, their blood boiled and burned them restlessly!

But Li Shimin saw that Li Jing was too old, and he couldn't bear to let him work anymore, so he didn't let him go.

After Li Jing died, he was also buried in Zhaoling, and Li Shimin also organized a mourning music group and asked them to play mourning music to send Li Jing to Zhaoling!

Of course, that's all for later.
