When it comes to Li Jing, many people believe that many people will naturally think of Nezha's father, Chen Tangguan's general soldier, who was later listed as a xianban and became the King of Tota Li Tianwang, and there are similar interpretations in the Fengshen Rendition, of course, this is just a drama or performance. However, in the history of the Tang Dynasty, there is indeed a Li Jing who has made great achievements in battle, and it can be said that he is on a par with Sun Wu, Bai Qi and others, and ranks among the Ten Philosophers of the Martial Temple.
If you talk about what battles Li Jing fought in the end, many people may not be able to answer at once, but his achievements for the Tang Dynasty are innumerable, Li Jing was very interested in the military when he was young, and he was also the nephew of the famous Sui Dynasty general Han Huhu, and whenever he had the opportunity, he would analyze and talk with Han Jing about the changes in the situation on the battlefield.
At the end of the Sui Dynasty, when the soldiers were in chaos, Li Yuan bought horses to recruit troops, and at that time Li Jing was only a county clerk, he discovered Li Yuan's movements and planned to report to his superiors, but before he could leave Chang'an, he became a prisoner of the order, and when he was taken to the execution ground for execution, Li Jing shouted loudly:
The public rebels, originally for the sake of eliminating riots in the world, do not want to do great things, but behead the heroes with private grudges!
It was precisely because of such an impassioned statement that Li Jing was directly recruited into li shimin.
Under the leadership of Li Shimin, the 50-year-old Li Jing first appeared on the battlefield, and when he was unable to stand with Wang Shichong's two armies, Li Jing advocated the speed of the soldiers, and under the premise of opposing the consensus of the people, he knew that there were tigers in the mountains that were biased towards the tiger mountains, and took advantage of the river to soar out of the division, even breaking through jingmen, Yidu and other towns, and later encountering Xiao Qiaoxiao's general scribe Shihong, Li Jing adopted the tactic of attacking the west with sound east and breaking the enemy army.
After that, Li Jing defeated The generals Yang Junmao and Zheng Wenxiu under Xiao Milling successively, and obtained a large amount of loot. All the way south, Xiao Milling was trapped in Gangneung City, and Xiao Milling saw that there were no reinforcements to rescue him and took the initiative to surrender. In dealing with the prisoners, Li Jing again adopted a policy of appeasement, so that Jiang han and other places saw that the Tang army was so generous and surrendered one after another. In the third year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin attacked the Eastern Turks, Li Jing only led three thousand cavalry to raid Jieli Khan, and before the Eastern Turks could react, Li Jing had already severely damaged his elite troops, and the Eastern Turks took the initiative to surrender.
Li Jing's southern Pingnanliang, northern Turkic annihilation, and western Tuguhun were only different from Goguryeo in the east, but unfortunately they were old. Such a veteran can also be regarded as an old man, and the big instrument is late. It is no wonder that after his death, the people deified him and became known as King Tota Lee.
