You know, Brother Military God is having a very unsatisfactory life now.
In fact, Li Jing and Han Xin are the same kind of people - standard military geniuses and political idiots.
In history, Li Jing lived in the Sui Dynasty until he was in his forties, and he was just a small magistrate of Mayi County, with nowhere to display his talents.
Then one day, Li Jing learned that Li Yuan was going to rebel.
You know, both Li Jing and Li Yuan came from Longxi Li.
It's just that Li Yuan is from the direct lineage, Wuyangfang, with a high position and a prominent family background, but Li Jing is from the branch lineage, Danyangfang, and is gradually declining, with his population declining.
If it is a normal person's brain circuit, if the leader of the same clan wants to rebel, there is a high probability that he will join him and join forces.
Anyway, if you are not getting along as you wish, you might as well give it a try. Maybe you can turn your bicycle into a motorcycle. In any case, since they are from the same clan, they will definitely gain more trust.
However, Li Jing was afraid that Li Yuan would be defeated and that his fellow sect would be implicated, so he ran away overnight and went to Chang'an to report to the court.
Perhaps, there is also a small idea of selling out the head of the family to make a contribution.
I have to say that Li Jing's political vision is so bad that people can't bear to look at it.
The final result is also very funny. After Li Yuan raised his army in Taiyuan, he marched straight into Chang'an with great momentum, and Li Jing was captured!
As soon as he heard that Li Jing had been captured, Li Yuan was immediately furious.
The public sentiment at this time was that the clan was extremely violent, and the military god brother's informant was undoubtedly a bit treasonous, so Li Yuan decided to chop Li Jing into pieces without saying a word.
Li Jing was about to cry but had no tears. Who else could he blame besides blaming himself for being blind?
Just when the military god of the generation was about to die, the savior appeared - Li Shimin heard that Li Jing was a great talent, so he begged Li Yuan for mercy.
Although Li Yuan was very reluctant, he still spared Li Jing's life because he wanted to be of the same clan.
After rescuing Li Jing, Li Shimin immediately appointed Li Jing as his third guard, counselor, and worked in the Qin Palace, hoping to make him his confidant.
At this time, Li Jing's old problem of blindness recurred.
The military god brother was 'keenly' aware of the overt and covert fight between Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng, but he believed that Li Jiancheng was the eldest son and had a better chance of winning.
Therefore, Li Jing rejected Li Shimin's enthusiastic approach. Although he was in the Qin Palace, he deliberately kept a distance from Li Shimin for safety.
Li Shimin was very unhappy. Although he didn't care about Li Jing, he still left it idle.
Therefore, although the poor military god brother is over fifty years old and has been buried for most of his life, he is still invisible to everyone because of his repeated blindness and stupid moves.
But Xia Yu, at a young age, has already soared into the sky and become famous all over the world.
This is really a sky and a place, the contrast is quite obvious!
Therefore, how could Li Jing not be flattered that Xia Yu actually knew him and was so enthusiastic!
"Master Li, you are so polite. His Highness King Qin is full of praise for your talents, but - haha!" Xia Yu smiled softly.
Li Jing suddenly looked embarrassed.
However, the military god brother still didn't think he was wrong. No matter how prosperous Li Shimin was, wouldn't he still be out of reach of the crown prince position?
He also saw clearly Li Yuan's suppression of Li Shimin.
At that moment, Li Jing quickly changed the subject: "Jing has heard about the name of military advisor a long time ago and is very interested in the sand table, hot air balloon, and the winged cavalry method."
"We just happened to meet each other today. I wonder if the military advisor is free these days. I would like to pay a visit to my house and ask for advice in person."
Xia Yu was happy when she heard it.
He was about to doze off when he hit the pillow. He was planning to ask Li Jing to teach Su Dingfang, but he didn't expect him to come to his door.
Historically, Li Jing had one and a half disciples.
That one happens to be Su Dingfang, and the other half is Hou Junji. It can be said that the teacher is awesome and the disciple is not bad either.
Now, Xia Yu just asked Li Jing and Su Dingfang to talk about the relationship between teacher and student.
"I heard His Highness say that Mr. Li is obsessed with the art of war. When I saw him today, it turned out to be true. No problem, Yu has been free recently. You are welcome to visit at any time."
"However," the smiling Xia Yu suddenly changed his words: "By coincidence, Yu also happens to have something to ask of Mr. Li."
Li Jingzheng was so happy that he couldn't help but be stunned.
Nowadays, Xia Yu is in a high-ranking and powerful position, and he is just an idle person. What can you ask of him?
"Oh, please tell me, military advisor. As long as Jing's ability allows, he will do his best."
Although he was doubtful, Li Jing still agreed. After all, Xia Yu offered a willingness to communicate, so he couldn't be stingy, right?
"Excellent." Xia Yu was overjoyed and gestured to Li Jing to follow the group. He smiled and said, "That's it. Yu has recently accepted a disciple. In terms of military strategy, Yu can teach him, but Yu is good as a staff officer.
But it's not as good as being on the battlefield. I heard that Mr. Li has a good academic background and is good at this. He is still writing related military books. I wonder if you can help teach him a thing or two?"
Li Jing was stunned. He didn't expect that Xia Yu actually knew that he was writing a military book.
Although he had never led an army before, he was the nephew of the famous old Sui general Han Qinhu, and it could be said that he had everything Han Qinhu had gained from using troops in his life.
In addition, he loves to study. Every time he goes to a place, he will carefully survey the terrain and then arrange his troops in his mind.
Therefore, over the past few decades, even though he has never really faced the battle, he has already become proficient in both theory and practice.
What he lacks now is just an opportunity to show himself.
"This," Li Jing said with some hesitation: "Jing shouldn't have refused the invitation from the military advisor, but the art of war requires great attention to talent——"
Li Jinghui excused himself, Xia Yu had already expected it.
Because this military god brother has a mental mysophobia and has extremely strict requirements for accepting disciples, he is afraid that his disciples will perform poorly and lose his face.
Therefore, throughout his life, Li Jing only accepted one true disciple, Su Dingfang, and he still inspected him again and again.
As for Hou Junji, Li Jing actually didn't like him at all, but after Li Shimin came to the throne, he personally came forward and asked Li Jing to teach him the art of war.
Li Jing had no choice but to teach Hou Junji, but he refused to accept him as a formal disciple and always had reservations.
Therefore, Hou Junji can only be regarded as half of Li Jing's disciples.
"Don't worry, Mr. Li!" Xia Yu was a thief and didn't give Li Jing a chance to refuse. He immediately blocked him and said, "My disciple is extremely talented and is the embryo of a famous general who has never been seen in a century."
"It's not Yu's boast. His achievements in other days will definitely be comparable to those of Wei and Huo. He is ranked in the Martial Temple and will never lose the reputation of Lord Li."
Just kidding, in history, Su Dingfang was Li Jing's true disciple.
Now, with Xia Yu's teachings, it would be weird if Li Jing looked down on him.
Li Jing blushed and immediately knew that his little thoughts had been seen through by others. He smiled dryly and said: "In this case, Jing will definitely do his best."
"Don't worry." Xia Yu happily patted Brother Military God on the shoulder: "Master Li will be very satisfied once he sees this disciple Yu."
"To be honest, Yu is quite worried now. Master Li met Lie Xinxi and abducted my disciple."
"How dare! How dare!" Li Jing quickly handed over his hand. Although he knew that Xia Yu was joking, he couldn't help but be curious in his heart. Who could be so praised by an unparalleled military advisor like Xia Yu?
"Uh, I wonder who this disciple of Military Advisor is?"
"Su Dingfang!"
Li Jing felt that something sounded familiar. After thinking about it for a moment, he suddenly remembered: "Is it the young general who has recently risen under Dou Jiande?"
"Of course." Xia Yu smiled. He knew that with Li Jing's attention to military affairs, he would definitely know about Su Dingfang.
It turns out to be this person!
Li Jing was relieved. At such a young age, he was able to make a name for himself in troubled times, and he was also included in the Guigu Sect. It was definitely not bad.
"Then the matter is settled. Yu is at home, and I will be waiting for you, Mr. Li."
"Okay, okay, then Jing won't bother you."
The two sides smiled at each other, reached a deal, and each got what they needed.
…
On that day, Li Yuan offered prisoners to the Imperial Ancestral Temple and escaped Dou Jiande and Wang Shichong's family. He severely shamed them in front of all the people in the world.
Immediately, Li Yuan made Dou Jiande the Duke of Xia and Wang Shichong the Duke of Zheng. He also gave him many rewards, and he was raised in Chang'an with great honor.
But Xia Yu knew that everything was an illusion.
It won't be long before Dou Jiande and Wang Shichong will die playing hide and seek or drinking water. I'm afraid this is their destined fate.
After struggling until noon, Li Yuan issued an order, and the Eastern Expeditionary Army returned to the military camp outside the city, received rewards, returned their weapons and equipment, and then disbanded and went home.
Xia Yu was also relieved. He was so hungry that he got on the carriage waiting outside the Ancestral Temple and wanted to go home and make food quickly.
"Brother-in-law." At this time, Yin Yuan caught up with him panting.
Xia Yu Yile: "Why, are you waiting for your dad too?"
"Yes." Yin Yuan said with a smile: "Your Majesty has given the Eastern Expeditionary Army a holiday. Dad and you can rest until after the Lantern Festival."
"My father means that we will arrange your marriage with my sister just before the Lantern Festival. What do you think?"
"Okay." Xia Yu agreed.
After all, he is a modern person and does not know much about the customs and customs of the Tang Dynasty. He would be in a hurry if he did not have a mistress at home.
Yin Yuan was very happy: "Then if you are free tomorrow, come to my house and let the two families discuss employment and other matters."
When Xia Yu raised his head, he saw Yin Kaishan not far away, smiling and nodding at him. Obviously, in this situation, this old Taishan had to show some airs and not fall too low.
