Chapter 414: Leading the Army
Li Jing covered his face, not wanting to face these words anymore. It would have been fine to just hear them, but they were said in front of the person involved, and he just felt embarrassed.
Li Jing naturally felt that he was very capable, but he was still humble.
"Little Immortal, could you please stop mentioning this? Although I know I am powerful, Senior Bai Qi and Senior Han Xin will definitely not be convinced when they hear it. Of course, there are also Senior Wei Qing and Senior Huo Qubing. Although they are not here, I know they will definitely not be convinced," Li Jing said helplessly. He had a hunch that when the little immortal opened the ten-person venue, many people would choose to challenge him.
He is not that arrogant, and he didn’t say that himself!!!
Bai Qi and Han Xin looked at each other without saying anything. They just looked at Li Jing. He was indeed a talent, but they would not admit that he was better than themselves.
"Okay, let's stop talking. Besides, I'm afraid that the three of you will want to compete with each other again." Although she loved watching the ancestors compete, she didn't want to watch it all the time.
"Three seniors, please eat your food. I will continue to talk about the deeds of Senior Li Jing," Li Wu said with a smile.
"The situation in Jiangnan has stabilized, but the situation in the north has become tense again.
In the early Tang Dynasty, the Eastern Turks were powerful. When Li Yuan started his army in Taiyuan, he paid tribute to the Eastern Turks in exchange for stability in the north.
In 625 AD, Jie Li Khan of the Turkic judiciary led more than people across the Shiling Mountains and launched a massive attack on Taiyuan.
Li Yuan ordered Senior Li Jing to be the commander-in-chief of the army, leading more than 10,000 people to garrison Taigu and fight against the Turks together with the governor of Bingzhou.
However, due to the fierce force of the Turks at that time, all the armies were defeated. Except for your team, Senior Li Jing, all other armies were wiped out.
In 626 AD, Li Shimin succeeded to the throne. Jie Li Khan took advantage of the change of emperors and led an army of to invade Jingzhou.
And they drove straight in and reached the north of the Weishui Bridge.
The Weishui Alliance was not only a disgrace to Emperor Taizong of Tang, but also a disgrace to the Tang Dynasty. Li Shimin signed a series of humiliating treaties here and paid countless gold and silver treasures to the Turks before they were willing to withdraw their troops. "
Hearing this, Li Jing clenched his fists tightly. This was indeed a humiliation for their Tang Dynasty, damn those Turks.
During the reign of Emperor Taizong of Tang: Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, was so angry that his eyes turned red. No matter how many times he mentioned it, Li Shimin could not forget the Weishui Alliance, which was the shame of his life.
The ministers' eyes were also red. Although the Turks had been destroyed long ago, the shame was still there and they could not forget it. Whenever they thought of the situation at that time and the humiliation of the Turks, they were angry!
The barrage was discussing that Li Yuan actually became a vassal of the Turks. There was actually a time when the Tang Dynasty was so weak that it actually became a vassal of others!
So those who disliked the Tang Dynasty started to laugh at it, and the barrage of comments became noisy again.

"Those damned Eastern Turks, even if they are destroyed, the hatred in my heart cannot be relieved," Li Jing said. Fortunately, the damned Eastern Turks have been destroyed. They dared to bully their Tang Dynasty. They really thought that there was no one left in the Tang Dynasty.
He wanted to take advantage of the change of emperors in the Tang Dynasty. Damn it!
Bai Qi and Han Xin naturally understood why Li Jing was so angry. At that time, the immortal mentioned the Wei River Alliance when he was talking about Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin. However, it only took four years for the Tang Dynasty to develop and destroy the Eastern Turks. He was truly a powerful emperor.
At least he is much stronger than many emperors. If it were any other emperor, he would not be able to fight back so quickly after being humiliated like this.
"Senior Li Jing, you are right. Hahaha, when I think of Jie Li Khan dancing, I want to laugh. Hahaha," Li Wu laughed, and the scene of dancing had already appeared in his mind.
A man with a big belly danced in front of many people, causing everyone to laugh at him.
Li Jing also laughed, thinking about how funny it was at that time.
"In 629 AD, there was civil unrest in the Eastern Turkic region, and it happened to snow heavily, so many cattle, sheep and horses died, and famine occurred, and the tribesmen fled one after another.
Li Shimin accepted the advice of Zhang Gongjin, the governor of Daizhou, and decided to attack the Eastern Turks.
I ordered Senior Li Jing to be the commander-in-chief of the army and Zhang Gongjin to be the deputy commander-in-chief, and launched an attack on the Eastern Turks.
In 630 AD, the wind was howling in the cold. Senior Li Jing led three thousand elite cavalrymen, braved the severe cold and set out from Mayi to advance towards Eyang Valley.
Jie Li Khan never expected that the Tang army would suddenly attack during this heavy snow, and he was terrified.
He even concluded that the Tang Dynasty would definitely come out in full force.
Senior Li Jing, you quickly attacked Dingxiang and, under the cover of night, broke into the city in one fell swoop, capturing Yang Zhengdao, the son of Yang Liang, the Prince of Qi of Sui, and Empress Xiao of Emperor Yang of Sui.
Afterwards, Senior Li Jing, you borrowed Han Xin's strategy of luring the Qi State to surrender and led 10,000 elite cavalry to capture Jie Li Khan, thus destroying the Eastern Turks."
Han Xin stared at Li Jing with a smile on his face. He never thought that Li Jing's descendant would use his strategy. Not bad.
Li Jing also said cheerfully, "Senior Han Xin's strategy is really good and useful."
The two looked at each other, burst into laughter, and raised their glasses to drink together.
Han Xin expressed his great honor that the generals of later dynasties used his strategies. If someone used it, it meant that the strategy was good. If it was not good, why would it be used?
“In 635 AD, Emperor Li Shimin gave you, Senior Li Jing, a Lingshou wood walking stick to help you with your inconvenient legs and feet.
But less than two months after the incident, Tuyuhun invaded Liangzhou.
The imperial court naturally decided to send troops to counterattack. When appointing a commander-in-chief, Li Shimin naturally thought of you, Senior Li Jing.
However, at that time, Senior Li Jing had a foot injury and was old. However, when Senior Li Jing, who was over 60 years old, heard this, he was full of energy. He did not care about his leg injury and his age, and took the initiative to meet Fang Xuanling and asked to take charge.
Although everyone thinks that Senior Li Jing is old, you yourself feel that you are not old and can still fight!
The hero is old, but he still wants to go to war!" Li Wu sighed. At this time, Li Jing was already 64 years old, but he could still lead troops to fight.
Li Jing thought for a moment and said, "I should be in my sixties by then. Hahahaha, I'm not old yet, I'm not old yet. I can still fight, I can still fight!"
What military generals fear the most is that others will say they are too old and can no longer fight. But they don’t think they are old and can still fight!
“That’s right. Senior Li Jing, you were already sixty-four years old at that time, and this was the last time in your life that you led an army. No matter how old you are, Senior Li Jing, you are still as powerful,” Li Wu said with a smile. Some people can still ride a horse and kill the enemy in their sixties, while some people in their sixties can't even get out of bed.
There were various discussions in the barrage, and many people felt that when they get too old, they should enjoy their retirement and give opportunities to young people.
The old generals were dissatisfied. They were old, but they still had strength and could go into battle to kill the enemy. They had fought for many years, but now they were too old to fight anymore. This was the most uncomfortable thing for them.

"When Li Shimin heard that you, Li Jing, wanted to take charge, he was extremely pleased. Li Shimin wanted to use you, but he was worried about your health and your leg injury. He did not dare to use you for various reasons. But when you, Li Jing, took the initiative to take charge, Li Shimin was very happy. He immediately appointed you as the commander-in-chief of the Western Sea Road Army to go to war against Tuyuhun!"
