Chapter 268: Blitz Attack on the Turks
[After surrendering to Li Tang Dynasty, with his back to the mountain of Li Tang, Du Fuwei also had the confidence to fight.
In the following year, he defeated Li Zitong and Shen Faxing successively, and unified the entire Jianghuai region.
In the fifth year of Wude, Li Shimin defeated Liu Heimin and completely connected Li Tang's territory to Du Fuwei, Du Fuwei transferred power to his deputy general Fu Gongyi very interestingly. He also appointed his righteous son Wang Xiongdan to supervise the auxiliary princess, for fear of change.
After Du Fuwei returned to the Tang Dynasty, he was crowned the crown prince and the Taibao and the Taishang Order, and Li Yuan was extremely favored by him.
However, not long after Du Fuwei entered the court, Fu Gongqi launched a mutiny. Not only that, but he also played Du Fuwei's signboard to the outside world, saying that this was Du Fuwei's order, and he raised troops on his orders, and his action also completely rewrote Du Fuwei's fate.
Du Fuwei was not only stripped of his official title, but also feared all day long, placed under house arrest, and finally died violently, the cause of death is unknown. 】
[At that time, Du Fuwei handed over to Fu Gongqi the elite soldiers under his command, and the existence of elite soldiers and strong generals under his command who were not inferior or even stronger than Wang Shichong and Liu Heimin.
It's just that this army doesn't have the dragon head of Du Fuwei, so the rebels led by Fu Gongqi don't look good, but in fact, their combat effectiveness is still very strong. 】
[Straight to the point.]
Nearly 10,000 soldiers led by Feng Huiliang, Chen Zhengtong and others died and drowned, and finally fled back to Danyang in embarrassment.
Li Jing led his light troops to pursue all the way until the soldiers came to the city of Danyang.
Seeing this, Fu Gongqi was afraid to die, although he still had tens of thousands of soldiers, but he had no fighting spirit in his heart.
Eventually, Fu Gongyi abandoned the city and fled eastward to Huiji, where his nemesis Zuo Youxian was stationed, while Li Shiyun led his troops in pursuit.
The soldiers under the command of Fu Gong Yi saw that the general trend had gone, so they began to flee one after another, and Fu Gong Yi himself was captured in Wukang and sent to Danyang to be beheaded, so Jiangnan was determined. 】
[One thing that needs to be pointed out here is that Li Jing's strength lies not only in his insight into the current situation and his use of soldiers like a god, but also in that he is also good at handling civil affairs and has a strong governance ability.
History: Danyang Lian was a soldier, the people withered, Jing Zhen appeased, Wu and Chu Yi'an.
Just saying this, you may not have an intuitive feeling about this, but if you compare it with an example, you may be able to see it very clearly. 】
[In the fourth year of Wude, Li Shimin eliminated the two major forces of Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande in one fell swoop, and Henan and Hebei were all pacified, but they failed to do a good job in the aftermath and pacification.
Li Yuan first executed Dou Jiande, causing a commotion in Hebei; Immediately afterwards, Li Tang's forces sent out to receive the Jiande generals who were hidden in the countryside by local officials in Hebei, which eventually led to the rebellion of Liu Heimin, the former general of Jiande, and the serious consequences of Hebei's total loss.
However, Li Jing was able to quickly restore people's livelihood and let all places quickly settle down, which is really commendable. Because of this, it is not a lie that Li Jingcai is also a civil and military person, and he can enter the prime minister. 】
[After Li Jing pacified Fu Gongyi, Feng Huiliang, Chen Zhengtong and others, the entire south was included in Li Tang's sphere of influence.
After Li Yuan got the news, he praised Li Jing's merits far above Bai Qi, Han Xin, Wei Qing, and Huo Quai, that is, the sentence: "The famous generals of the ancients, Han, Bai, Wei, and Huo, how can they be as good as it!" ”
If you unfold the territory map of the Tang Dynasty at this moment, you can find that the pacification of Guanzhong, Longxi, North China, Central Plains, and Shandong is in Li Shimin; And Jianghuai, Jiangnan, Jianghan, and Lingnan are responsible for the pacification of Li Jing.
The two of them, one south and one north, completed the great cause of the reunification of the Tang Dynasty, and achieved the effect of "pleasing people from far and near" and social stability. 】
After the Tang Dynasty unified the land of China, it urgently needed a stable environment to restore people's livelihood and develop the agricultural economy.
However, the Turks in the north took advantage of the exhaustion of the people in the Central Plains to repeatedly invade the Tang Dynasty and became a major problem for the Tang Dynasty.
In the ninth year of Wude, Tang Taizong Li Shimin had just ascended the throne, and Jieli Khan led 200,000 cavalry to invade Guanzhong.
At Li Jing's suggestion, Li Shimin set up a suspicious plan, and the empty government Kuxu formed an alliance with it with gold and silk property, and Jieli withdrew from the army, which was known as the "Weishui Alliance" in history, which was regarded as a great shame by the ambitious Li Shimin. 】
[Li Shimin worked hard to make the country humiliated, in order to train elite soldiers, he personally taught the guards archery in front of the Xiande Hall of the East Palace, and trained the elite.
In August of the third year of Zhenguan, the Turks were in trouble because of natural disasters and man-made disasters, and Zhang Gongjin, the governor of the acting state, wrote to Chen Turks that it was desirable, and Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, agreed to Zhang Gongjin's proposal and ordered troops to be sent to fight against the Turks. 】
[The time has come to wash away the shame of the country, and Li Jing, who has made outstanding achievements in battle and has excellent strategy, has naturally become the best choice for the coach.
Tang Taizong ordered Li Jing, the secretary of the military department, to be the general manager of the Dingxiang Road march, and Zhang Gongjin was the deputy to lead the main force of the Middle Route Army; The governor of the prefecture, Li Shixian, was the head of the march of the Tongmo Road, and Qiu Xinggong was the deputy of the left route army; In addition, there are also Zuo Wuwei generals Chai Shao, Li Daozong, Wei Xiaojie, Xue Wanche and other generals of the six routes, totaling more than 100,000, all of whom were subject to Li Jingjie's degree and divided their ways to attack the Turks! 】
[In April of the following year, the Tang army arrived in Mayi.
The spies sent by Li Jing received information that the Turkic Jieli Khan had stationed troops in Dingxiang, but his morale was low and there were many contradictions, so Li Jing decided to raid Dingxiang.
Fighting a war is intelligence, so we can see that every time Li Jing sends troops, he is the first to probe the outpost, and after getting enough information, he can quickly find an opportunity to break the enemy and kill the opponent by surprise. 】
[Li Jing personally led 3,000 elite cavalry, and arrived at Evil Yang Cen south of Dingxiang overnight.
The sudden appearance of the Tang army made Jieli Khan feel incredible, he mistakenly thought that the Tang army soldiers had been pressed, otherwise how could Li Jing dare to break through alone?
As a result, Jieli Khan adopted a strategy of passive avoidance of war. 】
"Li Jing is really a master of art and bold!"
"However, I always feel that Li Jing seems to be taking risks, but it is a choice after careful consideration and careful planning, but in fact, he is seeking stability in danger!"
"Han Xin is also very strong, but Han Xin sometimes needs the advice of a strategist to make the right choice, unlike Li Jing, who relies on his own strategy."
[Li Jing saw that the Turks were very hesitant, so he seized the opportunity to attack Dingxiang at night, caught them by surprise, and captured this place.
Jieli Khan was defeated and had to retreat north.
However, when the Turks retreated, they were ambushed by Li Tao, and the casualties became more and more heavy, so they had to ask Li Shimin for peace, in order to delay the army and make a comeback. 】
[The Turks sent people to sue for peace, and Tang Taizong Li Shimin also sent Tang Jian as an envoy to negotiate.
But this was only a delaying ploy to confuse the Turks and make them relax their vigilance.
Sure enough, Li Jing and others understood Li Shimin's intentions.
They took the initiative to attack without going through the performance, which was consistent with the way Han Xin sent troops to attack Qi when he used Li Shiqi to negotiate with the King of Qi.
However, Li Jing advanced more quickly this time, crushing the Turks almost instantly, and capturing Jieli Khan alive.
Tang Jian was also able to retreat with his whole body and avoid the tragedy of Li Shiqi. 】
