Dust Three or King Tota? The real Li Jing in history

In Tang legends and folk literature, Li Jing was a famous man in the late Sui and early Tang Dynasties, and was also called the Three Heroes with Zhang, Hongfu and the tramp. The story is summarized as follows: At the end of Sui Dynasty, Li Jing Chang 'an visited the Prime Minister of the DPRK and was admired by Zhang, a geisha. Then they went to see Zhang Zhongjian, a guest on campus, and Hongfu became brother and sister with him. The three of them went to Taiyuan and met Li Shimin. Gong Qiu had the ambition to fight for the world, but when he saw that Li Shimin was in high spirits, he gave all his help to Excavate and helped Li Shimin, and finally achieved great success. The above is a story described in the legendary "Biography of Campus Guests" in Tang Dynasty. In addition, there is a legend that Li Jing is the king of Tota. So, did Li Jing have such an adventure in real history, and what kind of life experience did he have?

Li, pharmacist, 57 1, born in Sanyuan, Yongzhou (now Sanyuan County, Shaanxi Province). Excavate was born in a famous family named Li Ding, a four-bedroom Danyang house in Longxi (Li Tang also claimed to have been born in Li Longxi). His father Li Quan was a local governor of the Sui Dynasty, his mother Han and his uncle were famous in the Sui Dynasty. Li Jing is the second son in the family. Because their parents believe in Buddhism, the names of the Li Jing brothers all contain Buddhist factors (Li Jing's eldest brother, the word medicine king, the pharmacist Tathagata, the pharmacist bodhisattva). As a teenager, Li Jing was magnificent and handsome, and he was quite literary. I often talk to my uncle about Sun Tzu's Art of War. Han praised him for being able to talk with people who study Sun and Wu, but he is only one person. Only this boy can talk to me about Sun Wu's art of war. /kloc-at the age of 0/6, Li Jing served as a volunteer Cao in Chang 'an County, then took part in the imperial examination, and successively served as county magistrate in Jixian, Anyang, Sanyuan and other places, and his political achievements were continuously rated as the first. Niu Hong, the official department minister, said that he was a talented person in Wang Zuo. Prime Minister Su Yang held his seat and said to him, "You should finally sit here!" ! At the end of Sui Dynasty, Li Jing served as Ma Yicheng. He found that Tang gaozu in Taiyuan had attempted to rebel, so he went to Jiangdu to report Tang gaozu's situation to Yang Di. When I arrived in Chang 'an, the road was cut off because of the chaos in the world. Soon after, Li Yuan mobilized troops, quickly occupied Chang 'an, captured Li Jing alive and prepared to be beheaded. Before leaving, Li Jing, unwilling to show his talents, shouted loudly to all the uprising soldiers. This was originally for the sake of the world, and he didn't want to roll with the punches, but he killed a strong man with personal grievances! At the same time, Li Shimin also interceded for him, and Li Yuancai went easy on him.

Later, Li Jing was called into the shogunate by Li Shimin. In 620, he followed the king of Qin in the battle to pacify the king, and was named Kaifu for his meritorious service. But Tang gaozu once distrusted Li Jing and wanted to send someone to kill him. It was not until Excavate took 800 people alive and beheaded 5,000 people in the swamp of Kaizhou, that Li Yuancai put down his guard and sent a message to let bygones be bygones. I have long forgotten this matter. In 62 1 year, Li Jing presented ten strategies to pacify Xiaoxian's separatist regime in the south, so Li Yuan appointed Li as the commander-in-chief of the southern army and Li Jing as the deputy commander-in-chief, but in fact he appointed the three armies to appoint Jing. In the autumn rain, the river surged, but Li Jing led the army by surprise, quickly passed through the Three Gorges natural barrier, broke the enemy, seized more than 400 boats, beheaded and drowned tens of thousands of people. Hyo-hyun's regime in Jiangling area was quickly pacified. Excavate was far-sighted and lenient to the surrenders, making Jiang and Han surrender, and Guangdong and Guangxi also surrendered one after another.

In 623, Fu Gong U rebelled against the south of the Yangtze River, and Li Yuan once again sent Li and Li Jing to lead the seven general managers (including the tomb, tomb and box @ 呟呟). He made an accurate judgment and quickly put down Fu Gong U's rebellion. Tang Gaozu praised Li Jingdao's Jing Naixi and Gong Mao's great achievements. Why do you want to add (Xin), Bai (Qi), Wei (Qing) and Huo (Qu Bing)? In 625, 65,438+10,000 people were invaded by Valerie Khan of East Turkistan, and Li Jing was ordered to lead more than 10,000 people to resist the generals. The army was defeated one after another, and Gui Ren was even destroyed, but Li Jingjun never suffered losses. In 626, Li Shimin acceded to the throne, and Li Jing was appointed as the minister of punishments. In 629, Li Shimin decided to crusade against East Turkistan, appointed Li Jing as the chief officer of Dingxiang Road, and led the army to attack. In the first month of 630, Li Jing led 3000 elite cavalry to March from Mayi to Evil Yangling in the cold. Jie Khan was shocked. He thought that soldiers would not come to the countryside, and Jing dared to mention him alone. . Excavate seize the opportunity, at night, sent Sue led two hundred cavalry as a striker, led three thousand cavalry night attack valerian khan's tent, valerian fled first, the headquarters of the army to pieces, cut through more than ten, captured more than ten men and women. As a result, the East Turkistan was pacified, which was not only revenge, but also the territory of the Tang Dynasty extended from Yinshan Mountain to the Mongolian Plateau north of the desert. To this end, Emperor Taizong specially pardoned the world.

In the same year, Li Jing was appointed as prime minister for his merits. But whenever he participates in discussions with other prime ministers, Li Jing always doesn't speak, and he doesn't seem to speak. In 634, Li Jing, who was very sensible of the times, proposed that he had foot disease and asked to resign as prime minister. Li Shimin is very clear about Excavate's psychology. He wrote a letter of praise. I'm not going straight to the public's ambition. I want to regard the public as a model for a generation. And let him enjoy all kinds of treatment of the prime minister. Shortly after Li Jing resigned, Tuguhun in the northwest invaded the border. Li Shimin conveyed the meaning of asking Excavate to come out of the mountain through courtiers. Excavate is very handsome. Not good? Li Jing, who is very knowledgeable, passed the party and volunteered to fight. So the 64-year-old Li Jing was appointed as the chief of the Xihai Road March, and led the troops of Li Daozong, Hou, Li Daliang, Li Daoyan and Gao Zansheng to set foot on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

Tuguhun tried to use the vast geographical environment of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau to deal with Tang Jun, set fire to weeds and cleared the wall. The generals suggested that the spring grass was not sprouting and the horse was weak and could not fight, but Li Jing advocated attacking. So Tang Junbing was divided into two roads, with Excavate and Li Daliang from the north road and Hou and Li Daozong from the south road. The two armies traveled thousands of miles and fought dozens of battles. In the end, Tuguhun suffered internal changes, Khan was killed, and the rest surrendered to Tang Jun. Finally, after two months of bloody fighting, Excavate led the army to finally surrender Tuguhun. When attacking Tuguhun, Gao Zengsheng, the deputy commander, was punished by Li Jing for delaying the March date, so he held a grudge. After the war, Li Jing was falsely accused of rebellion, and Emperor Taizong ordered a company to investigate. As a result, nothing happened and Gao Zansheng was punished. From then on, Li Jing closed the door to thank guests, closed the door to guard himself and put an end to guests, although relatives were not allowed to jump in. In 640, Li Jing's wife died of illness. Emperor Taizong wrote a letter to build a tomb for Li Jing, and built the tomb into the shape of a Turkic Iron Mountain and a Gu Hun Jishi Mountain, in recognition of Li Jing's special achievements.

In 643, the portrait of Li Jing entered Lingyange, ranking eighth. In 644, when Li Jing fell ill, Li Shimin personally visited his mansion and still gave him 500 silks, which were carried by Wei Guogong and Kaifuyi. In 645, Li Shimin prepared to conquer Koguryo, called Li Jing into the palace to discuss and gave him the throne. He told him, the male south wu, north turkic, west spit valley, Korea don't take. Is it also interested? Li Jing, regardless of his old age, kept his word and relied on the strength of heaven to achieve great things. Although the disease is failing, your majesty will not give up, and the disease is paralyzed. Finally, Li Shimin found that Li Jing was too old and too weak to allow him to do so. In 649, Li Jing was seriously ill, and Li Shimin visited him again. He told Li Jing with tears, Gong is an old friend in my life, and I work for my country. If this is the case today, it will be a public concern. /kloc-In May of 0/8, Li Jing, the star of the Tang Dynasty, finally fell at the age of 79. Emperor Taizong named him the satrap of Situ Bingzhou and buried him with Zhaoling, calling him Jason Wu. Eight days later, Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong, also finished his life journey.

Song people once evaluated Li Jing's military ability, and Tang was good at using troops, so there was no comparison with Li Jing. At the same time, Li Wenwu has both skills, and his works include Six Military Mirrors, Yin Fuji Ji Ji, Jade Account Classic, Overlooking the National Heritage, Minister, General Instructions of Zhong Tao, Notes on Defending the Country, New Books in the Soldiers, Bow Tactics and so on. And excavate himself, of course, offered to go to Wu Temple. In addition, Li Jing also trained many military talents for the Tang Dynasty, such as Su, who pacified the Three Kingdoms, and Hou, who pacified a country. Su passed on what he had learned to Pei Xingjian, a famous soldier of the period. Then why did Li Jing become the king of Tota again? Some people think that the image of King Li Jing of Tota comes from Li Jing, a military strategist in the Tang Dynasty. Because he fought like a god, he was regarded as a god by his countrymen and possessed as the king of Tota. Of course, this is just a statement. But as far as the real Jing Li in history is concerned, he is indeed a great star!
