Chapter 268 Strike Turks
[After returning to Li Tang Dynasty, with Li Tang as his back, Du Fuwei also had the confidence to fight.

In the following year, he successively defeated Li Zitong and Shen Faxing, and unified the entire Jianghuai region.

When Li Shimin defeated Liu Heitai in the fifth year of Wude and completely connected the edge of Li Tang's territory with Du Fuwei, Du Fuwei tactfully transferred the power to his deputy, Fu Gong Er.Moreover, he appointed his adopted son Wang Xiongsheng to supervise the auxiliary public Er, so as not to cause any changes.

After Du Fuwei surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, he was appointed as the crown prince and Taibao and also acted as the Minister of Taiwan. Li Yuan was extremely fond of him.

But not long after Du Fuwei entered the court, Fu Gong Er launched a rebellion.Not only that, he also used Du Fuwei's signboard to the outside world, saying that this was Du Fuwei's order, and he raised troops under his orders, and his move also completely rewritten Du Fuwei's fate.

Not only was Du Fuwei deprived of his official rank, he was in fear all day long, and he was placed under house arrest. In the end, he died suddenly and the cause of death is unknown. 】

[At that time, what Du Fuwei handed over to Fu Gong Er was the elite soldiers under his command, which were not inferior or even stronger than Wang Shichong and Liu Heita's elite soldiers.

It's just because this army doesn't have the leader of Du Fuwei, so the rebel army led by Fu Gong Er doesn't look very good, but in fact their combat effectiveness is still very strong. 】

[Come back to business.

Nearly [-] soldiers led by Feng Huiliang, Chen Zhengtong and others died in battle or drowned, and finally fled back to Danyang in embarrassment.

Li Jing led light soldiers to pursue them all the way until they approached the city of Danyang.

Seeing this, Fu Gong Er was terrified to die. Although he still had tens of thousands of soldiers, he had no fighting spirit in his heart.

In the end, Fu Gong Er abandoned the city and fled, and fled east to Kuaiji where his dead party Zuo Youxian was stationed, while Li Shiji led his troops to pursue him.

Seeing that the situation was over, the soldiers under Fu Gong Er began to flee one after another. Fu Gong Er himself was captured in Wukang and sent to Danyang to be beheaded, so Jiangnan was informed. 】

[There is one point that needs to be pointed out here. What makes Li Jing powerful is not only his insight into the current situation and his ability to use soldiers like a god, but what is even more commendable is that he is also good at handling civil affairs and has strong governance capabilities.

Historical records: Danyang Company suffered from military bandits, and the common people withered. Jing Zhen comforted them, and Wu and Chu Yian.

Just to say that, maybe you don’t have any intuitive feelings about it, but if you compare it with an example, you may be able to understand it very clearly. 】

[In the fourth year of Wude, Li Shimin wiped out the two major forces of Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande in one fell swoop, Henan and Hebei were all pacified, but they failed to do a good job in the aftermath and appeasement.

Li Yuan first executed Dou Jiande, which caused turmoil in Hebei; then, Li Tang forces sent out to take over the Jiande generals who were hiding in the countryside with poor officials in Hebei, which eventually caused the rebellion of Jiande's old general Liu Heitai, and all the people in Hebei were killed. Serious consequences.

However, Li Jing was able to quickly restore people's livelihood and make the localities settle down quickly, which is really commendable.Because of this, it is absolutely not a falsehood that Li Jing is known in history as being both civil and military. 】

[After Li Jing pacified Fu Gong Er, 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 Qubing, that is to say: "The famous ancient generals Han, Bai, Wei, and Huo, how can they match!"

If we expand the territory map of the Tang Dynasty at this moment, we can find that Li Shimin contributed to the pacification of Guanzhong, Longxi, North China, Central Plains, and Shandong; and Li Jing contributed to the pacification of Jianghuai, Jiangnan, Jianghan, and Lingnan.

The two, one south and one north, completed the great cause of the unification of the Tang Dynasty, and achieved the effect of "pleasing far and near", and social stability. 】

[After the Tang Dynasty unified the land of China, a stable environment was urgently needed to restore people's livelihood and develop the agricultural economy.

However, the Turks in the north, taking advantage of the poor livelihood of the people in the Central Plains, repeatedly went south to invade the Tang Dynasty, which became the confidant of the Tang Dynasty.

In the ninth year of Wude, Tang Taizong Li Shimin had just ascended the throne. Jieli Khan led 20 cavalry to invade Guanzhong.

Under Li Jing's suggestion, Li Shimin set up a strategy of suspicious soldiers, and the empty government treasury promised to form an alliance with him with gold and silk property. Jieli just withdrew his troops, which was called "the alliance of Weishui" in history. This was regarded as a great shame and shame by the ambitious Li Shimin. 】

[Li Shimin made great efforts to govern and vowed to avenge the country's humiliation. In order to train elite soldiers, he personally taught the guards to shoot arrows in front of the Xiande Hall in the East Palace to train elite soldiers.

In August of the third year of Zhenguan, the Turks were in trouble due to natural disasters and man-made disasters. Zhang Gongjin, the governor of the state, wrote a letter to Chen Turks, and Emperor Taizong Li Shimin agreed to Zhang Gongjin's proposal and ordered to send troops to crusade against the Turks. 】

[The time has come to wash away the national humiliation, and Li Jing, who has outstanding military exploits and excellent strategy, is naturally the best candidate for the coach.

Tang Taizong ordered Li Jing, Minister of the Ministry of War, to be the general manager of the Dingxiang Road, Zhang Gongjin, who was the deputy, to lead the main force of the Central Army; Generals Chai Shao, Li Daozong, Wei Xiaojie, Xue Wanche and other six armies with a total of more than [-] troops were all under the control of Li Jing, and they split up to attack the Turks! 】

[In April of the following year, Tang Jun arrived in Mayi.

The spies sent by Li Jing got information that the Turkic Jieli Khan stationed troops in Dingxiang, but morale was low and there were many conflicts, so Li Jing decided to raid Dingxiang.

Fighting is all about intelligence, so we can see that every time Li Jing dispatches troops, he goes first by scouting. After getting enough information, he can quickly find an opportunity to defeat the enemy and catch his opponent by surprise. 】

[Li Jing personally led [-] elite cavalry, and arrived at Eyangcen, south of Dingxiang, overnight.

The sudden appearance of the Tang army made Jieli Khan feel unbelievable. He mistakenly thought that the soldiers of the Tang army were under pressure. Otherwise, how could Li Jing dare to rush alone?

Therefore, Jieli Khan adopted a passive strategy of avoiding war. 】

"Li Jing is really a brave man!"

"However, I always feel that Li Jing seems to be taking risks, but it is a choice after careful consideration and rigorous planning. In fact, he is seeking stability in danger!"

"Han Xin is also very strong, but Han Xin sometimes needs the advice of a counselor to make the right choice, unlike Li Jing, who relies entirely on his own strategy."

【Li Jing saw that the Turkic people 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 northward.

However, when the Turks were retreating, they were ambushed by Li Ji, and the casualties were even heavier, so they had to ask Li Shimin for peace in order to slow down the troops and make a comeback. 】

[Turks sent people to seek peace, and Tang Taizong Li Shimin also sent Tang Jian as an envoy to negotiate.

But this is just a delaying tactic, intended 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 above. This move was consistent with the way Han Xin sent troops to attack Qi when he used Li Shiqi to negotiate with King Qi.

But this time Li Jing marched faster, defeated the Turks almost instantly, and captured Jieli Khan alive.

Tang Jian was also able to retreat completely, avoiding Li Shiqi's tragedy. 】
