Chapter 0942 I still miss Xiang Yu and am too embarrassed to cross Jiangdong
Li Jing glanced at his brother and handed the letter to him.
When Master Li took a look at it, he allowed him to know. He immediately took the letter and read it quickly. After reading the letter, he put on the same face as Li Jing, with a weird look on his face.
"Who is this Yi man? Why do you think he can help us deal with Jie Li?"
Li Jing rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Did you not read the documents I got back from the Ministry of Rites at all?"
Master Li scratched his head in embarrassment. He was busy playing with birds at the time and did not have time to look at the documents that Li Jing took home from the Ministry of Rites.
It was a colorful bird that was only found in Linyi and was donated by the people of Linyi. Not to mention how beautiful it was.
He was fascinated when he first saw it in Nanwaiwan, and spent a lot of money to get one from the eunuch on duty at Nanwaiwan.
At that time, he was busy understanding the habits of colored birds and seeing how to cultivate colorful birds, so he had no time to pay attention to the documents of the Ministry of Rites.
When Li Jing looked at his younger brother, he knew that he was not watching, so he couldn't help but scolded him: "It's a major issue related to our Tang Dynasty's conquest of the Turks. Can't you take it seriously?"
"I'm interested, I'm interested!"
While admitting his mistake, Li Keshi changed the subject and asked, "Is this Yi man some important figure in the Turks?"
Li Jing glared at his younger brother and said angrily: "He's not a big shot. He's not as good as Jie Li, Tu Li, Sunisu, She'er, Simo and others."
Li Keshi knew that his brother was mocking him, and said with an embarrassed look: "Commander, I know that I am wrong because of my humble position. I will definitely take it seriously in the future. I will definitely take it seriously."
Li Jing puffed his beard and said with a glare: "Do you still want a future?"
Master Li quickly shook his head and said: "No more, no future!"
Li Jing snorted coldly, then let Master Li go, and then hummed: "This Yi man's reputation in the Turks is not prominent. Compared with other fathers, he can be said to be unknown.
However, his importance in Turks is not low.
He is the son of the chief of the Turkic Xueyantuo tribe and the young chief of the Turkic Xueyantuo tribe. He is destined to succeed the position of the chief of the Xueyantuo tribe in the future.
According to the Turkic information that Tang Jian spied, the chief of the Xueyantuo tribe is already old and has only a few years to live.
It is very likely that this Yi man will succeed him soon."
After listening to Li Jing's explanation, Master Li suddenly realized: "It turns out that this Yi man is the son of the great chief of the Turkic Xueyantuo tribe. I thought he was some kind of person."
It's not that Li Keshi despises Yi Nan, but because of Li Jing's current status, the only people who can directly talk to him are Turkic Khans, Little Khans, and other such figures, and at the very least they have to be the chiefs of most of the Turks.
It's not something that a chief's heir can offend.
Li Jing glared at his younger brother and said, "Don't underestimate me. If he can become a young chief of a big clan, he must have some wisdom. It is impossible for him to convey a message to me when he is not qualified to do so."
so what?
Master Li opened his eyes wide and asked with his eyes.
Li Jing pondered and said: "If my prediction is correct, this Yi man will probably have become the chief of the Xue Yantuo tribe by now."
Li Keshi was stunned and said in astonishment: "Are you saying that the current Turkic chief is dead?"
Li Jing reminded angrily: "It's my ex!"
Master Li did not argue, and nodded obediently: "Yes, yes, it's my predecessor, and then what? How did he die? It couldn't have been taken advantage of by this man named Yi Nan..."
Li Jing didn't wait for his brother to finish his words before he glared at his brother fiercely and said, "What did you say? Although the Turks are not as filial as the Han people, they will not kill their fathers easily.
Do you think it would be easy for a huge Xueyantuo tribe to break away from the Turks?
It must have been the former chief of the Xue Yantuo tribe who helped Yi Nan plan everything, and then at the critical moment, he asked Yi Nan to take his people and leave first, while he stayed behind in Tujue Duan.
With Jieli's temper, after discovering this incident, the former chief of the Xue Yantuo tribe would definitely have no way out.
Therefore, Yi Nan naturally succeeded to the position of chief of Xue Yantuo tribe.
This should have been planned by the former chief of the Xue Yantuo tribe long ago. It was his own choice, and it is not as dirty as you think."
Master Li thought about it carefully and felt that what his brother said was reasonable. Then he scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "I was just imagining it. If it doesn't happen, it doesn't happen. You don't have to be so excited."
Li Jing stared angrily and said: "I'm not excited, I hate you for not being successful. You are obviously as smart as me, but you ignore business all day long and just want to play with your birds. When can you
Give up those playthings, really stand up, and support the door of my Danyang Li family?"
Master Li smiled dryly and said: "There is nothing wrong with playing with birds. You don't understand the beauty of it at all. When you understand, you will be like me. Besides, I, Danyang Li Family, have your support."
That's enough, what else do you want me to do?
If I act too brightly and steal your limelight, I will make people jealous."
Li Jing opened his mouth and wanted to scold his brother, but when the words reached his lips, he swallowed them back.
The first half of what his brother said was indeed infuriating, but the second half was not unreasonable.
He is now on the verge of becoming an extremely popular minister. If his younger brother performs better, or even outshines him, then the Danyang Li family will no longer be feared by the royal family.
Their surname is Li, and they are related to the royal family, which has some advantages, but it also has disadvantages.
Needless to say about the advantages, let’s talk about the disadvantages.
The disadvantage is that there can be people in their clan who are outstanding, and there can be people who are extremely popular, but the number of people cannot be too many, and it is best to only have one person.
Once this number is exceeded, they will become a threat to the royal family and be feared by the royal family.
And with the murderous nature displayed by the current head of the royal family and the next head, whoever they are wary of will be close to death.
Especially the current leader, he can't even tolerate people who have lost their threat.
As long as they find it an eyesore, they will kill them quickly.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Therefore, his younger brother does not want to stand out and likes to play with things to lose his ambition, which is a wise way to protect himself.
"You are always full of lies."
Li Jing commented angrily on his younger brother, and then continued to talk about the business, "I remember that after Jieli learned that Xue Yantuo, Uighur and other tribes had betrayed the Turks, he sent his son Yugu to pursue them.
Yi Nan wrote to me at this time, either because he was about to be defeated by Yu Gu and wanted to use my soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty to get out of trouble, or he had escaped from Yu Gu's pursuit and wanted to go back and seek revenge from Jie Li.
Which one it is specifically, we will have to send someone to investigate before we can know."
When Master Li heard Li Jing talk about business, he quickly corrected his attitude and said, "Does that mean you won't conspire with Yi Nan before everything is found out?"
Li Jing glanced at his younger brother and said, "What does conspiracy mean? How disgusting is that? It means leading the enemy to abandon darkness and turn to light, and jointly attack the unkindness."
Master Li curled his lips.
So...does it make any difference?
Li Jing continued: "Since Yi Nan is willing to contribute to the Tang Dynasty's conquest of the Turks, then the Tang Dynasty cannot let him down. Although I don't know what he wants to do, I can reply to him and agree to send troops.
help him.
How many troops he sends and how much strength he uses depends on his sincerity."
Master Li stared blankly at his brother.
You have touched Jieli's buttocks. It will be known soon whether the Turks will perish.
What else can you do to help Yi Nan?
Help Yi Nan escort Jie Li's head out of Turks?
Li Jing saw the doubts in his brother's heart and explained: "The Turks are different from me in the Tang Dynasty. The Turks are a dynasty in which each tribe governs its own affairs. Jieli's death will certainly have a huge impact on the Turks, and it will also leave the Turks without a leader.
However, the various Turkic tribes were still able to manage their own affairs, break up the earth and become kings, and continue to resist the Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, even if we win Jieli, it does not mean that we have destroyed the Turks.
We still have to conquer the Turkic tribes one by one. Only when we have conquered them all will we be able to destroy the Turks.
This matter is not easy to handle. With Datang's current strength, even if we can do it, we will have to pay a huge price.
If during this process, some Turks come forward to help us, then we can speed up the pace and reduce the price we need to pay."
Li Keshi said thoughtfully: "Just like what you did in Lingnan, first shock, then appease, and finally completely subdue them?"
Li Jing nodded and said: "Yes, this is how you have to deal with these barbarians. You have to hit them until they hurt, so that they will be afraid of you. Only when they are afraid of you will they bow to you."
If you don't hit them, don't let them feel the pain, and just ask them to bow down, they will definitely not be willing to do it."
Master Li couldn't help but laugh and said: "It's not just the barbarians, it's the same for everyone else."
Li Jing shook his head with a smile and said: "There are differences. For some people, the more painful you hit them, the more fiercely they will resist. If you let the pain penetrate to their bones, they will fight you to the death."
Master Li said disapprovingly: "I don't believe it. I have never met such a person."
The kind of people Li Keshi refers to refers to a group of people, an ethnic group, not a single person.
Li Jing did not argue, he laughed and said: "Then I hope you will never encounter it in your life."
If they meet, it will be the fiercest and most brutal battle to the death.
The level of tragedy will exceed that of any war.
When ten, eleven, or twelve-year-old boys take up arms and join the battlefield, the pain no longer exists, and there is only life and death.
Li Jing experienced such a war.
In Lingnan.
It was a village with no more than a thousand people.
Li Jing paid the lives of more than 800 elite soldiers to capture the stronghold.
You must know that when he was in Jingzhou, he led 800 people and defeated a barbarian army of 4,000 to 5,000 people.
On the way back, I picked up a group of people.
The loss of troops did not exceed 50%.
He attacked a small village with a thousand people, but lost more than 800 elite soldiers, which shows how tragic the battle was.
It was from that time that he officially began to recruit all the barbarians in Lingnan.
He originally planned to kill all the barbarians in Lingnan who were unwilling to surrender, or who chirped with him during the process of surrender.
It was that battle that changed his mind.
He did not want to follow Xiang Yu's footsteps, leading ten thousand people into Lingnan and leading hundreds of people out of Lingnan.
If his parents stopped in front of his horse and asked where his son was, he would not know how to answer.
There are many excuses in history for Xiang Yu's refusal to cross Jiangdong, but the more convincing one is that Xiang Yu had no face to go back.
He had led so many of Jiangdong's sons on the expedition, and when he returned there were not many left. If his parents stopped in front of his horse and asked him for a son, with his arrogant temperament, he would not be able to wipe his neck in shame on the spot.
Therefore, if you wipe your neck in shame in front of the fellow villagers, it is better to wipe it directly on the bank of Wujiang River and still have some dignity left.
