Chapter 142: Destroy Another Country
Now Kong Ming is still a little confident in his lifespan.
After all, the situation after the defeat of Yiling in the history of the light curtain is too dangerous.
In order to protect Ji Han's only remaining spark, the prime minister Zhuge was almost forced to monopolize power, made a careful plan and did his best to carry out that plan.
Nowadays, there is no need for that.
The situation is not critical, Junjie is not dead, he only needs to be in the middle and check and fill in the gaps.
Even if there is really a big problem, there is still the support of the lord.
There are Shiyuan and Xiaozhi in Han, and Yunchang and Yuanzhi in Jingzhou, what is there to be afraid of?
But when it comes to Jingzhou, it's a pity that Cao Mengde was not captured...... Kong Ming also secretly sighed in his heart.
In this regard, Kong Ming and Xu Shu have the same opinion, in the final analysis, there are too few soldiers to get away with Cao thief.
Next time, there may not be such a good opportunity for Wancheng.
[In comparison, Li Jing's more well-known achievement is the destruction of the Eastern Turks.
Although it seems that the extermination of the Eastern Turks in the history books is only a few lines, it seems that it is not very good, but this Eastern Turks are by no means a cat or a dog.
In the fourth year of Wude, Jieli Khan began to lead his troops to invade the Tang Dynasty border, and the Eastern Turks won more and lost less, and the Tang Dynasty was at war and peace, which made Li Yuan miserable.
In the seventh year of Wude, Li Yuan, who was in a hurry, issued an edict to restore the setting of the 12th Army, strengthen defense, and expand military warfare.
In the ninth year of Wude, Jieli knew that after the Xuanwumen Incident, he led 100,000 horsemen to attack Wugong County in July, which was not far from Wuzhangyuan and closer to Chang'an, less than 100 kilometers.
At that time, Wei Chi Jingde led the order of Erfeng and fought with the Eastern Turks in Jingyang County, where the history books wrote that it was a victory, but in fact it could only be regarded as a repulsion.
Because Jingyang County is only thirty kilometers away from Chang'an, it will be a big problem if it can't be repulsed.
However, twenty days later, Jieli made a comeback, and this time it was forced to the north of Weishui Bridge, which is only 20 kilometers away from Chang'an.
We all know the rest of the matter, form an alliance, send money, the Eastern Turks retreat satisfied, and Erfeng is ashamed.
Some people say that if this Weishui Alliance happened in the Song Dynasty, it would be blown into a great victory.
Because there is no need to cede land and pay for New Year's coins every year, there is no need to call it the country of brothers or uncles or nephews, there is no need to crown him as a king, and there is no need to pay debts with the children of the royal family, the country has not been broken, and the Son of Heaven has not been captured. 】
For this Weishui Alliance, everyone in the Ganlu Hall is familiar with each other, after all, if you count it seriously, less than four years have passed, and the memory is profound.
And now that Jieli has dedicated the temple and danced to His Majesty, the Eastern Turks have become history, so it is more casual to talk about it.
And today's focus is undoubtedly Li Jing, who has not yet become the Duke of Weiguo.
The old general recalled slightly:
"At that time, His Majesty and Jieli talked about it at the bridge, and then secretly ordered the ministers and the Duke of Qi to ambush Youzhou, and the edict said that if Jieli was defeated and retreated, he would lead the troops to kill."
Li Jing nodded at the eldest grandson Wuji and said:
"At that time, the old minister was still worried that His Majesty would lead his troops into the Turkic array in anger and risk his life with ten thousand gold."
Wei Chi Jingde, who often doesn't speak and is a transparent person, rarely expressed his opinion:
"At that time, everyone said that thieves were greedy for money, and they would have no heart to fight to the death, and the ministers and soldiers were not afraid of death, and they went straight to the enemy chieftain, and the thieves were really frightened."
Speaking of this fighter, there is still a little regret:
"If Uncle Bao can fight at that time, I will wait for the two of them to fight together, and I will be able to screw off that Jieli's head and dedicate it to Chang'an as soon as possible."
Qin Qiong, who still had a sickly look on her face, smiled and didn't speak, but gently patted the back of Wei Chi Jingde's hand with her backhand.
Qin Qiong has been ill for many years, and when he was in Xuanwu Gate, he could only sweep the battle and it was difficult to fight, if he was allowed to fight with Jieli, he could only drag this close friend back.
Fang Xuanling is still a little scared when he thinks about it now:
"At that time, I saw that everyone was arbitrary, and I rode out of battle to invite Jieli, and I still think about it, what a risk!"
Li Shimin shook his head lightly and laughed:
"Whether I close the door or support the army, it is all to show weakness, the thieves will not stop, and I will die safely."
"Riding alone to show strength to despise Jieli Fang, so that the other generation is uneasy."
"Let's ......," Li Shimin recalled for a moment:
"The Turks had no military discipline to speak of, and at that time, I and Jieli looked at each other across the water."
"There are many handsome men who cross the river privately to come to me, and it is difficult to restrain the profits, and there are even sons who are obsessed with losing their martial arts and secretly offer advice, wanting to respond internally."
"Then I knew that if I led my army against his people, I would destroy the withering and decaying."
"And there are auxiliary pharmacists in Youzhou to lead the troops to set up an ambush, and it is as easy as a snap of victory."
"Ran ......" said Li Shimin sighed lightly, but everyone present was basically a party, how could he not understand at this time.
In the final analysis, Li Shimin had just ascended the throne at that time, and he was not confident in his legitimacy, so he did not dare to start a war lightly.
As long as Jieli escapes, it will inevitably be a battle for many years, and there will be no respite.
Li Jing is the most understanding, so he arched his hand and said:
"It is precisely because of His Majesty's forbearance and humiliation at that time that I can go to the New Year's Eve to appreciate the dance of Jieli."
Li Shimin's face resurfaced with a smile at this time, but he nodded lightly and didn't say a word.
As for the smile on the back of Song, His Majesty the Tang Emperor didn't say it, and others were not easy to evaluate.
Even if they have doubts, Qin Qiong and Su Lie have people around them who can ask, but Wang Xuance is the only one who feels scratching his ears, but there is the emperor next to him, so it is not easy to ask rashly, so it is not uncomfortable.
[The Eastern Turkic forces were also clearly stated earlier, with 100,000 horsemen.
Moreover, in history, the farming people have always fought the nomads like snakes, and if they can't hit seven inches, they will inevitably suffer from it.
And for this battle, Li Jing also did it quickly and well.
In the first step, Li Jing once again did the opposite.
In the first month of the fourth year of Zhenguan, Li Jing led 3,000 elite horsemen to brave the severe cold and run for 200 miles directly into Jieli Headquarters Dingxiang.
In ancient times, when fighting in winter, how to overcome the damage caused by the severe cold and how to keep the soldiers fighting has always been a problem.
The history books do not record how Li Jing did it, only that this attack made Jieli flee in fear.
When Li Jing sent out his troops, there was another way of Li Tao coordinated the attack, and the two soldiers and horses relayed to raid Jieli, beating Jieli into a frightened bird, and hurriedly asked Erfeng for peace.
The second step is that you think Li Jing has won by surprise, so it should be in the right place, right? It didn't.
In the face of Jieli's request for peace, Erfeng was quite sincere and sent Tang Jian to negotiate peace.
Who is Tang Jian? I knew Li Shimin when I was a child, and I had a relationship with peeing and mud, and later I was ranked among the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, and it can be said that I am Erfeng's henchman and brother.
The arrival of this important minister also made Jie Li breathe a sigh of relief, but it also made Li Jing feel that the opportunity could not be lost.
Tang Jian was still negotiating peace with Jieli, and Li Jing had already ordered five thousand elite cavalry to attack.
There were also people under Li Jing's command who objected, but Li Jing's answer was very simple: please Tang Jian to be martyred.
"This Han Xin is so broken. What a pity for Tang Jian!"
Jieli, who relaxed his vigilance, was broken again, and then fled without his life, and met Li Tao again at the mouth of the moraine, and was beaten again.
and Tang Jian did not die in this battle, and he did not leave any evaluation afterwards.
The third step is to calmly close the net.
Jieli, who was completely disabled, gave up his illusions and ran west with the remnants for 1,500 miles, intending to defect to Tuyuhun or Gaochangguo in the anti-Tang alliance.
As a result, he met Li Daozong's army here, and Jieli was finally captured.
This battle was coordinated by Erfeng, Li Jing was strategic, and the two fierce men in the early Tang Dynasty worked together.
In the end, it took only two months, and the Eastern Turks, who had 100,000 horsemen riding on the Weishui River to knock Chang'an, perished. 】
Li Shimin realized the wonder of history, that is, if you follow the history of the light curtain, you should have just captured Jieli at this time.
But well...... Li Shimin remembered that he had just summoned Jieli once after the first month.
At that time, he also reprimanded Jieli for eating too much and being too fat, and specially issued an edict ordering Jieli not to eat meat for three months.
Of course, I wouldn't say it in my selfish heart, because seeing Jieli getting obese reminded him of An Lushan.
And in order to prevent head wind, he Li Jiaerlang can only eat sheep once a month, and he can't eat fat, how can this Hu person be so comfortable?
Throwing Jieli out of his mind, Li Shimin immediately had an opinion:
"What do you mean pee and mud?"
"I and Mao Yue traveled together when they were young, so they knew each other, how could they do such a pickled play!"
The courtiers looked at their noses and noses, and they said that Your Majesty was right.
However, Yan Liben almost immediately had a big rebellious picture in his head, but he gave up after hesitating for a long time.
It's good now, if His Majesty is forced to follow the example of Emperor Wei Wu's old affairs, he will regret it.
"But please Tang Maoyu martyred ......," Li Shimin shook his head.
Of course, Han Xin Poqi and everyone knew that they were also holding each other at that time, and Li Shiqi volunteered to persuade him to surrender.
The result was also that when the Qi State was about to surrender, Han Xin's army attacked and won a big victory, but the difference was that Li Shiqi was not as lucky as Tang Jian, and was cooked by the angry Qi army cauldron.
Li Shimin thought about it carefully, and finally shook his head:
"After Weishui, I want to destroy Jieli, how can I be moved by compassion because of its temporary hypocrisy?"
"Maoyo's trip must be a cover for the pharmacist, and the pharmacist's words must also strengthen the hearts of his own army!"
Li Shimin cut the railway.
Today's Datang and the light curtain have a slight deviation, and there is no need to explore whether it is a deliberate ambush or Li Jing's arbitrary behavior.
After all, it is smoother to break Jieli, and since last year, Tang Jian has never taken a step out of Chang'an, and he has never been in danger.
In that case, there is no need to say anything more.
Li Jing didn't say a word, but just bowed cautiously to Li Shimin, and there was no need to say anything more about this matter.
He also understood the meaning, and the pair smiled tacitly.
……
The ministers of the Chengdu government were more uneasy.
The more he compared, the worse Liu Bei felt.
Destroying a country of 100,000 horsemen in March, compared to it, he felt as if he was playing a joke.
National strength, generals, armor, and monarchs are all difficult to compare.
Therefore, Liu Bei became more and more envious in his heart:
It is necessary to record this prosperous Tang Dynasty in detail, so that the younger generations have the goal of catching up.
Liji Han, Fu Qiang Han, chasing the Tang Dynasty!
The old buddies who are still working in the Mid-Autumn Festival have worked hard, and I wish the officials and grandfathers a happy Mid-Autumn Festival every year, and everything goes well in the autumn and autumn of the year.
