Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Why is it so difficult to get some credit? ! ! !

Three exclamation points are not enough to express the pain and confusion in Li Jing's heart at this moment.

Li Jing came from a famous family, became famous at a young age, and had a tall appearance. Han Qinhu, a former Sui general, believed that... he was the only one who could compare with the skills of Sun and Wu.

The important minister Yang Su once sat him on the bed and said... You will sit here for the rest of your life.

Well, of these two celebrities, the former is Li Jing's biological uncle, and the latter is an advertising channel operator who casts a wide net and focuses on fishing.

However, in the former Sui Dynasty, Niu Hong, the minister of the Ministry of official affairs, who was one of the "seven nobles to choose Cao" along with Pei Shiju, also praised him as having "the talent of a king's assistant".

The young Li Jing seemed to see a smooth road ahead, but he did not expect that at over fifty years old, he was still just a mayor of Mayi County... What embarrassed him most was that he had never held a regular position in his official career.

This was true even after entering the Tang Dynasty. In the third year of Wude, Li Jing attacked Xiao Xian of the Southern Liang Dynasty as the commander of the march of Jingxiang Road. Although Li Yuan wrote in his handwriting that "the responsibility of the three armies is to appoint Jing", Li Jing was actually the commander-in-chief of the three armies, but he was still the commander-in-chief of the three armies. The deputy of Prince Li Xiaogong of Zhao County.

After the Battle of Jianghuai, Li Jing was still Li Xiaogong's deputy... This situation continued until Li Jing was transferred to Daizhou General Manager.

Well, Li Jing thought that he had come to the end of his hardships, and it was finally my turn to appear on the stage, and he got a perfect start, but the final result... was even worse. Li Huairen seized the army and defeated the Turks, leaving him not even a hair.

When Li Shan left Daizhou, Li Jing began to gear up...but the Turks stopped coming and shifted the focus of their attack to Lingzhou, Guannai Road. Li Jing was driven crazy with anger.

Therefore, when Li Jing was transferred to the position of commander-in-chief of the Yanzhou Road March, but the Turks only sent partial divisions to contain Xiazhou, and were defeated by Zhang Gongjin and Zhang Baoxiang, Li Jing was always in a high degree of nervousness.

The mountain can't see me?

I'll go see the mountain myself!

But this time, he finally led 7,000 cavalry to defeat the enemy as the commander-in-chief of the march on Yanzhou Road. Although Li Jing didn't have any proud look on his face, he was unavoidably satisfied in his heart... But only now did he know that he was captured by Li Huairen this time. The army is even worse!

There was silence in the Chinese army tent. Everyone was not stupid. The Turks and Xue Yantuo combined forces of 70,000 to 80,000 troops to defeat the Longyou Road. Dubu Khan, who had been humiliated by Wei Siwang again and again, was here. Hu Qi was bound to attack the capital. Zhao, it is impossible to go to Longzhou and Qizhou, the hinterland of Guannai Road, grab a handful and leave.

If there is any big trouble, the Lingzhou Army will be responsible, but it will be very minor... After all, the Turks still have heavy troops on the east bank of the Yellow River.

So who should take the blame?

Of course, it was Li Yaoshi, the general manager of the Yanzhou Road march who had been as quiet as a virgin for most of the previous month, but moved like a rabbit at the critical moment, and suddenly led the Yanzhou Road cavalry to march eastward to defeat the enemy.

Maybe Jingzhao was expecting you to lead his troops south for rescue at this time, but in the end you went to Lingzhou and made great achievements... I guess His Majesty would spit out a mouthful of blood when he found out!

Everyone knows this truth, and Li Jing himself naturally thinks more clearly.

After a brief silence, Hou Hongtao couldn't help but stare at Zhang Zhongjian and said loudly: "Guangling County Duke, Lanzhou was defeated. Is the Lingzhou army indifferent?"

The many generals in the tent can be roughly divided into three factions. One is from the lineage of the King of Qin. Tang Jian, the chief minister, is also the Sima of Tiance Mansion. Guo Xiaoke, the general manager of Lingzhou, Hou Junji, Shi Danai, and Duan Zhixuan are all generals under the command of the King of Qin.

In fact, these people have a somewhat indifferent attitude. Although Li Yuan and Li Shimin and his son have reconciled after the two incidents of Renshou Palace and Renzhi Palace, the King of Qin will not forget the joint suppression by Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng in recent years. Anyway, His Highness the King of Qin is now leading the army to Hedong, and has brought almost all his staff and generals with him... This is what Li Jing said himself just now.

Secondly, he is a direct descendant of Li Yuan...well, this only refers to Li Jing, everyone else has more or less other backgrounds.

The third one is Li Shan's cronies and old subordinates, such as Zhang Zhongjian, Hou Hongtao, He Fang, Feng Li, Kan Ling, Duan Zhixuan and Zhang Baoxiang, who can barely be counted. They are the most anxious.

Because they all know that Dubu Khan personally led his troops across the Yellow River, defeated Lanzhou, destroyed the main force of the Tang army on the Longyou Road, and invaded the Guannai Road. He is likely to fight all the way to Jingzhao... forcing His Majesty to hand over Li Huairen.

The war situation in Hedong has taken a turn for the worse, leaving Jingzhao without major generals. Under this situation, it will be difficult for Jingzhao and surrounding prefectures to quickly mobilize their troops into an army, and Chang'an will be under tremendous pressure.

Whether His Majesty will hand Li Shan over... This is something that no one can determine.

Among them, the most anxious ones are Hou Hongtao, who was born as the commander of Li Shan's bodyguard, and Li Shentong, the king of Huai'an who couldn't resist cursing in his heart for a whole day... Anyway, Zhang Zhongjian doesn't have any special look on his face.

"We can't wait any longer!" Li Jing suddenly stood up, his face slightly distorted, "We also need to ask the Duke of Guangling County for help."

Zhang Zhongjian was silent for a moment and asked, "Did Duke Dai want to leave Yuanzhou?"

Li Jing nodded silently, this was an inevitable choice, or in other words, it was the only choice.

Return to Xiazhou by the original route, then go south to Yanzhou, pass through Yanzhou and Fangzhou via Qinzhidao, and arrive at Jingzhao. It will take at least two days. The key is that after arriving at Jingzhao, you have to go east to reach the battlefield. Three days.

And now maybe the combined forces of Turks and Xue Yantuo have already entered the pass, and this route will definitely be too late... At least Li Jing will definitely have to take responsibility afterwards.

So there are only two roads left. One is to cross the Yellow River, enter Liangzhou, and catch up with Hu Qi's ass. This is the most effective and direct way. The back road is cut off... Turks, Xue Yantuo's coalition forces have worries about their future and may not be able to march straight in.

But at the same time, this road is too risky, and it is difficult to predict Hu Qi's troop deployment, the number of troops left behind, etc., and he may be hit in the head.

With a ten-fold difference in military strength, Li Jing was able to use his troops like a god, but after all, he could not make an army by spreading the beans.

Therefore, Yuanzhou is the only feasible route, although it is not as effective as running away from the enemy. Although the distance is shorter than walking from Yanzhou, it is not much faster because the Yuanzhou road is not easy to walk.

But the important thing is that once Li Jing leaves Yuanzhou and enters Jingzhou, he will be able to threaten the rear and flanks of the enemy troops who may have already invaded Longzhou or even Qizhou in the pass, greatly reducing the pressure on the Jingzhao defenders.

Zhang Zhongjian did not hesitate and led 3,000 cavalry southward that night, covering Li Jing's journey to Xiaoguan and passing through Yuanzhou to rescue Longzhou, Qizhou and other places.

What is very interesting is that in the original time and space, more than 100,000 soldiers of Jieli Khan and Tuli Khan joined forces to drink in the Mawei River. Li Shimin led six people out of the city and signed the Weishui River Alliance... Li Jing, the general manager of the Lingzhou Road March at that time, also led his troops Going south, threatening the Turks' retreat, this is also an important reason why the two sides reached the Weishui River Alliance.

In the dark night, Zhang Zhongjian watched the 7,000 Yanzhou cavalry leave and thought to himself, Li Yaoshi might be able to catch up with the war, but would he have to stay at the Mingsha Camp?
