Outstanding childhood, celebrity praise

Li Jing was born in the Northern Zhou Dynasty during the Northern and Southern Dynasties. Li Jing was capable of both martial arts and martial arts when he was young. His uncle was the famous Han Chuanhu in the Sui Dynasty. At that time, Niu Hong, the minister of officials at the time, said that Li Jing had an extraordinary ability to govern the country.

Even Yang Su, a powerful official of the Sui Dynasty, saw Li Jing and said that this person would excel and occupy a high position in the future. As an adult, Li Jing became even more energetic and smug, showing a little general demeanor.

Exposing Gaozu, it was an accident

In the late Sui Dynasty, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty made great efforts to carry out construction projects, labored the people and hurt the wealth, and conquered Goguryeo several times. At this point, the national strength was greatly reduced. At this time, the Sui Dynasty was in name only, and the peasant army rose up one after another. Li Jing felt Li Yuan's misdeeds and wanted to inform Emperor Yang of Sui who was far away in Jiangdu.

It is a pity that Li Jing was captured by Tang Gaozu Li Yuan before he was exposed. When Li Jing was about to be executed before his execution, he loudly denounced Li Yuan for killing the world's strong men with personal grievances. Li Shimin admired Li Jing's courage to intercede in front of Tang Gaozu, which saved Li Jing from death. Li Shimin called him into the shogunate.

Calm down Xiao Liang, and then destroy the auxiliary Song Dynasty

At that time, the peasant armies of the Sui Dynasty revolted one after another. There was a man named Zhang Xiu who rebelled against the Sui Dynasty. He made Xiao Xian, the great-grandson of Emperor Liang Xuan, as the emperor. Xiao Xian of Tang Dynasty continued to harass Tang Tu. In order to completely eliminate Xiao Xian's power, Tang Gaozu sent Li Jing to go on an expedition. Li Jing offered ten strategies to attack and destroy Xiao Xian. There were more than 400 ships, and Li Jing abandoned all the captured ships in the river. Xiao Xian's reinforcements saw their own ships and thought that Jiangling had fallen, and did not dare to rush into the army. In the end, Xiao Xian, who had no good strategy inside and no rescue outside, could only surrender, and the Xiao Xian regime of the Liang Dynasty perished.

In 623 AD, the Fu Gong Yi in Danyang assumed the emperor's name, and the country name was Song, and he competed with the Tang Dynasty. Tang Gaozu ordered Li Jing and Li Xiaogong to jointly attack Fu Gong Yi. Fu Gong Yi's troops, Fu Gong Yi's general Feng Huiliang attacked rashly, and the result was a big defeat and a loss. The Tang army took advantage of the victory and quickly reached the city of Danyang. As a result, Fu Gong Yi was shocked and abandoned the city and fled. During the process of escape, the soldiers around him were scattered. In the end, Fu Gong Yi was captured, and the Song Dynasty, which had been established for a few months, perished.

Battle of the God of War, the destruction of the Turks

During the Sui Dynasty, the Turks were divided into East Turks and West Turks. Even so, the Turks were very powerful. At the beginning of Tang Gaozu Li Yuan's army, he was still a Turk. Emperor Taizong of Tang could only sign the alliance under the city.

Soon after the internal turmoil of the Eastern Turks, Li Shimin decided to take the opportunity to attack the Eastern Turks to completely eliminate this hidden danger. In AD 629, Li Shimin raised a six-road army to attack the East Turks. Under the cover of night, he launched a surprise attack into the city of Dingxiang and captured the Empress Xiao of the Sui Dynasty, and the Khan Jieli fled in a hurry.

At this time, Li Jing not only played a sneak attack, but also rebelled. He successfully rebelled against Jieli Khan's confidant Kang Sumi, and Jieli Khan saw that there was only a dead end, so he sent an envoy to talk to Tang Taizong Li Shimin to make peace and surrender, and Li Jing noticed that To the opponent is to use a slow-down strategy.

Li Jing sent troops to Yinshan overnight. The striker, Su Dingfang, led more than 200 people to take advantage of the fog to quietly launch a surprise attack on the Eastern Turkic tent. His son, who killed Princess Yicheng of the Sui Dynasty, and the escaped Jieli Khan was also captured shortly after, and the Eastern Turks have since perished.

Expansion of Tang territory in the west, expedition to Murong

Li Jing was due to destroy the Eastern Turkic officials and worshiped the Shangshu Right Pushe, but it didn't take long for Murong Tuyuhun's invasion of Liangzhou to reach the Tang court. Tang Taizong Li Shimin didn't know who to use as commander, and he thought about it all day long. , Tang Taizong Li Shimin was very happy after learning about it.

Appointed Li Jing as the chief commander of the West Sea Road march. At the beginning of the battle, the Tang army Li Daozong defeated Murong Tuyuhun and won the first battle. At this time, Murong Tuyuhun Fuyun Khan was defeated and retreated to the west. Before running, Fuyun Khan burned all the grass along the way. To cut off the horse grass of the Tang army, the generals of the Tang army thought that it was impossible to pursue long-distance pursuit, only Hou Junji and Li Jing thought that the opportunity should not be missed.

Later, the Tang army caught up with Fuyun Khan in Wuhai and captured his wife. Fuyun Khan led more than 1,000 cavalry and fled to the moraine. After being killed by his subordinates, it took Li Jing two months to attack and destroy Murong Tuyuhun.
