I, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, have risen since I destroyed the Turks

Chapter 58 Zhang Gongjin: A -year-old third-grade general with moral integrity, unique in the Tang Dynasty!

Hear this.

The Yulin Army general also looked shocked.

Although Li Jing spoke calmly and did not deliberately exaggerate, the Yulin Army general could still hear the key to it.

Leading three thousand light cavalry, they went deep into the desert for thousands of miles to pursue the Turkic Khan's desire to conquer Changdu.

How much courage and courage this takes.

"General Li Zheng really has the demeanor and courage of a general."

"Is this the first time since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that our Central Plains soldiers have entered Mobei to pursue the enemy?"

"General Manager Li has trained and trained a good subordinate. I admire him for his humble position!"

The general of the Yulin Army couldn't help but give a thumbs up, bowed and said to Li Jing.

"Alas! Although General Li Zheng is brave and invincible, he is still a little younger after all. It is extremely difficult to pursue Yugu Changdu in the vast desert of Chibi, thousands of miles away."

"I'm worried about him too!"

Li Jing said helplessly.

"Since receiving the good news from General Manager Li, His Majesty also wanted to know about Li Zheng, who has a brilliant record, so this time he sent me to deliver the edict to General Manager. Your Majesty specifically asked me to bring the emperor to commend the returned general Li Zheng in person. Your Majesty asked me to ask me to I’m sending a message to General Li Zheng, hoping that he can continue his efforts, make new achievements and serve the country, and I also hope to see him in Chang’an.”

The general of the Yulin Army conveyed Li Shimin's words to Li Jing.

"General, I will definitely convey your Majesty's words to General Li Zheng word for word."

"General Li Zheng is still very young. If I knew that Your Majesty has such great love for him, I would definitely be grateful to Your Majesty."

Li Jing said with a serious face to the general of Yulin Army who sent the message.

"Your Majesty's instructions, the humble duties have been transferred."

"I have resigned from my humble position and returned to Chang'an to resume my duties to His Majesty."

The general of the Yulin Army bowed to Li Jing, stood up and left.

"Good work."

"General, walk slowly."

Li Jing also bowed his hands and watched the leader of the Yulin army leave.

As can be seen.

Li Jing is really humble and courteous.

Even though the commander of the Yulin Army who conveyed the imperial edict was only the sixth-rank Zhaowu Colonel.

Li Jing was the Duke of Wei, the Minister of the Ministry of War, and the chief administrator of Dingxiang Dao. He was a first-rank official and the leader of the military generals. However, he was not arrogant at all and treated each other with courtesy, which gave the school captain enough face.

After seeing off the general of the Yulin Army who was delivering the order, Li Jing leaned his hands behind his back and thought about his thoughts.

At this time, Zhang Gongjin said with emotion:
  "This kid Li Zheng, after only four months in the army, was promoted to General Dingyuan and led the vanguard at the age of fifteen. He is already outstanding."

"I didn't expect that Li Zheng would be unanimously praised by His Majesty and all the ministers. His Majesty even personally decreed that he could be conferred and promoted to the third rank, directly becoming a third-rank Guidong General."

"This is the first sixteen-year-old third-grade general in the Tang Dynasty. I'm afraid it will be difficult for such a genius to appear again in the future!"

"What are you talking about? Li Zheng is only sixteen years old?"

Li Jing's expression changed slightly.

"Didn't the chief manager see Li Zheng's military register?"

Zhang Gongjin next to him looked at Li Jing with a surprised expression.

"I really haven't looked at Li Zheng's military register. Although I know that Li Zheng is very young, he looks to be at least eighteen or nineteen years old. I didn't expect that he is only sixteen years old now."

Li Jing stroked his beard and said with some emotion. "If I hadn't looked at the registered military register in my humble position, maybe I would have had the same idea as the general manager. When I saw Li Zheng's age and address in the military register, I realized that Li Zheng was from Jinyang Prefecture, Shanxi Province. He just passed this year. At the age of sixteen, he was so powerful that even the champion prince during Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not lead his army until he was eighteen years old, while Li Zheng, who was fifteen years old, had already commanded ten thousand armies."

"The fifteen-year-old Pioneer General is now promoted to the third rank, and the sixteen-year-old Third-rank Guidong General. In the future, Li Zheng will definitely have a place among the top generals of the Tang Dynasty."

"I'm afraid my future achievements will be comparable to those of the Chief Executive!"

Zhang Gongjin said with great emotion.

But at the moment.

Li Jing's mind was not on this, but he was thinking secretly:

"Is it such a coincidence? Sixteen years ago, the then King of Qin Li Shimin was ambushed by Liu Wuzhou in Jinyang Mansion, Shanxi Province. He was seriously injured and was rescued by Qin Qiong. He stayed with a village girl. Later, I heard that His Majesty also went to Jinyang Mansion to look for this man. Village girl, it can’t be that His Majesty and this village girl have a relationship... This Li Zheng looks so much like His Majesty when he was young, it can’t be such a coincidence!"

As both Li Shimin's confidants, he and Qin Qiong were quite close friends. Occasionally, from Qin Qiong's words, he could hear that His Majesty had an unusual relationship with the village girl. As time went by, the matter gradually faded away.

I didn't expect to hear Zhang Gongjin mention Li Zheng today, his native place is Jinyang Prefecture, Shanxi Province, he is sixteen years old, his surname is Li, and he looks so similar. This...everything is right.

"Ugh!"

"Why did we think of coming here again?"

"More than ten years have passed. If your Majesty really has a prince outside, wouldn't he go to Jinyang Mansion to look for him? After all, he is his own flesh and blood!"

Li Jing was still a little nervous at first, but after thinking about it, he realized that he had imagined too much.

Don't know what happened.

After hearing Li Zheng's place of origin and age, and thinking of his surname Li and his appearance, Li Jing was in a daze for a while.

Li Zheng's age, place of origin, and appearance were all so consistent with those of the village girl that His Majesty had a relationship with, which naturally made him feel a little worried.

Just when Li Jing was thinking, Zhang Gongjin looked at him and said:
  "Now His Majesty's decree to cease the war has been issued.

"However, Li Zheng went deep into Mobei to pursue Yugu Changdu."

"Now that he has been promoted to the third level, the imperial edict cannot be delivered to him..."

"What do you think, Chief?"

Zhang Gongjin was a little helpless.

"In the battle of Mobei, Li Zheng led 3,000 light cavalry to break through the Turkic barrier and kill the general. He killed 3,000 enemies and captured 3,000. Now, I am not worried about Li Zheng's safety."

"I am thinking, if Li Zheng really catches up with Yugu Changdu and captures him, what will happen?"

Li Jing said with some emotion.

heard.

Zhang Gongjin was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said:
  "Isn't this...impossible?"

"It has been dozens of days since Yugu Changdu fled into the Mobei Desert. The Mobei Desert stretches for thousands of miles. Finding Yugu Changdu is like looking for a needle in a haystack."

"Even if they are found, Li Zheng has more than two thousand light cavalry, Yugu Changdu still has thousands of troops, plus tens of thousands of Turkic herders."

"Now I'm thinking about how many Turks Li Zheng can kill. As for capturing Yugu Changdu, my subordinates have never thought about it."

As Zhang Gongjin said.

He was not surprised that Li Zheng was able to achieve some results in Mobei, but it was extremely difficult to capture or kill Yugu Changdu.

Mobei is a restricted area for humans.

The Turks living in the north are as afraid of them as tigers.

What's more, as a Central Plains person from the south, it is difficult to survive in such a harsh environment and have to fight the Turks.

What are the chances of winning? !
  After listening to Zhang Gongjin's analysis, Li Jing was not sure at all.
