Chapter 156 Li Jing, the Undefeated War God of the Tang Dynasty
In another timeline, the Northern Song Dynasty's endorsement team, along with poets such as Li Bai, Bai Juyi, and Du Fu, all received gifts from Lin Ke!
Li Bai, in particular, must have gone bald from worry. What kind of crazy question did Zhang Sui come up with?!
This problem is driving him crazy! He drank bucket after bucket, and now he's trying to figure out how much he originally drank! Let me think about how to solve it!
As for the gifts received by the others, they were all a few test papers, but the questions... how come he didn't know he was even in the mood for this!?
Lin Ke said: You guys should experience the troubles of being a student too! Hahaha
……
In a certain spacetime
A group of elderly women with gray hair sat together, and looking around, a young girl could be seen chatting and laughing with them, talking about something.
This girl is Tianya, the gossip-loving netizen who frequently posts comments in Lin Ke's live stream.
As she spoke, she flipped through the small screen and suddenly noticed another icon appearing on the screen, which looked like a small square with two wires stuck on its head.
She clicked on it and found two things in the local videos at the top: one was called "Water Margin" and the other was "The Legend of the White Snake".
Filled with curiosity, Tianya clicked on one of the videos, and soon a female voice came from it: "Waiting a thousand years...waiting a thousand years..."
The people who had been gossiping together were suddenly startled and all looked at Tianya with a strange expression.
Sweetie also felt a bit awkward, so she held up a small screen for them to watch together.
……
Lin Ke rested for a couple of minutes and then had to get back to work. This time, she didn't know which ancestor to talk about!
"Greetings, everyone!" Lin Ke said with a smile, casually handing out several large buckets of fruit tea he had bought to some of the people.
Before long, one of the people in Wanchao received Lin Ke's message: "This is so refreshing to drink in the summer!"
But what is this yellow fruit?! It looks delicious!
Back to the live broadcast room.
Lin Ke glanced at the two people the system had drawn—Li Jing and Zhu Houzhao—and then at the small print that followed: Please tell the story from Emperor Xuan of Han (Liu Xun) to the founding of the Eastern Han Dynasty by Emperor Liu Xiu.
A moment later, Lin Ke saw the valiant Li Jing and the handsome young Zhu Houzhao.
When Li Jing returned here for the first time, he felt extremely nervous. He sat down with his body tense, but why was this cushion so soft?!
On the other side, Zhu Houzhao was a playful person, so he didn't care much about the rules. He had been watching the live stream for a long time and wanted to try it out!
It's so cool here! Is this edible? Can I take this back with me?
Lin Ke observed Zhu Houzhao looking around, and from that perspective, she understood his personality. However, having heard about his leopard enclosure, she wondered if he would enjoy going to the zoo.
Then, Lin Ke smiled and said, "General Li, don't be so reserved, just make yourself at home!" In her heart, she silently added: I still think he has three children, Jinzha, Muzha, and Nezha.
Li Jing: ? ? Why is Miss Lin looking at me like that!
Zhu Houzhao, who was standing to the side, felt that Lin Ke's gaze was strange, but he was more interested in a bright red packet on the table. So he secretly reached out, took a small piece, and tried it. Wow, it was really good!
Luckily, he brought the fruit tea that Lin Ke had given him when he arrived. And let me tell you, it was really satisfying to eat like that!
Lin Ke also saw Zhu Houzhao secretly eating spicy strips. Who could resist a spicy strip? Then, seeing that it was almost time, she continued the live broadcast: "Let me introduce you first. This is Li Jing from the time of Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, and this is Zhu Houzhao, Emperor Wuzong of Ming Dynasty."
"Let's start by introducing Li Jing. First, I'd like to talk about Li Jing. My initial impression of him was that he was Nezha's father, the general of Chentang Pass during the Shang Dynasty, and later, he was deified and became the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, in charge of heavenly soldiers and generals."
"This character comes from the Ming Dynasty novel 'Investiture of the Gods,' so many people know Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, who commands heavenly soldiers and generals. Especially from the Tang to the Ming Dynasty, his reputation has transformed from that of a mortal to that of a god."
Cheng Yaojin of the Tang Dynasty: We were colleagues just a moment ago, and now we're immortals!!!
Li Erfeng of the Tang Dynasty: ...I really didn't expect General Li to have such good luck!
"From then on, the image of Li Jing as a deity was completely fixed. Even when I was young, I only knew Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King. However, what people know most about him is that he had a rebellious child named Nezha."
Li Jing: How come I didn't know I had a child named Nezha?
Hearing this, Li Jing desperately kept telling himself: Stay calm, don't laugh! Little did he know that suppressing his smile was harder than suppressing an AK!
During the reign of Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty
At this moment, Cheng Zhijie complained to Fang Xuanling and others with a sour tone: "This Li Jing has risen directly from a mortal to a god. I wonder if I can get an official position!"
Fang Xuanling and the others were speechless. It wasn't true; it was just something made up by later generations. However, they never expected that Li Jing would have such a great influence!
.........
"Alright, let's get back to the main topic. Li Jing was born into an official family. His grandfather was the governor of Yinzhou, his father was the prefect of Zhao County, and his maternal uncle was Han Qinhu, a famous general of the Sui Dynasty."
"In this world, there are people who are not only born into nobility, but also talented and hardworking. Under the influence of his grandfather and uncle, Li Jing has grown into a promising young man who is proficient in both literature and martial arts."
"However, fate seemed to play a joke on him, and it all started with a man named Li Yuan. At the end of the Daye era, the people were suffering. As with the end of all dynasties, uprisings broke out in various places. In addition to a few vanguard forces such as Dou Jiande in Hebei and Li Mi in Henan, Li Yuan, who was secretly lying in wait, was also stirring up trouble."
"At that time, Li Jing was still fighting against the Turks under Li Yuan's command. He sensed Li Yuan's rebellious intentions, so he disguised himself as a prisoner and went to Emperor Yang of Sui to inform him. It's hard to say whether he was lucky or unlucky, but Li Jing and Li Yuan arrived at the same time!"
A scion of a prominent family in the Ming Dynasty: My luck is a bit off!
A纨绔 (playboy) from the Song Dynasty: It's almost the end of the year, might as well just surrender to someone else!
Li Jing, the God of War of the Tang Dynasty: ...
"So Li Jing was captured, and he didn't have to take off his prison clothes. The old man Li Yuan was about to kill Li Jing when Li Jing shouted indignantly: How can you kill a brave man because of personal grudges when you haven't accomplished anything great!"
"It was this sentence that prompted someone to plead for Li Jing's life, saving him from death. That person was none other than Li Shimin, the white moonlight of the Tang Dynasty! But Erfeng probably never expected that such a casual rescue would bring the Tang Dynasty an invincible war god!"
Li Erfeng of the Tang Dynasty: Undefeated...God of War!!
"In May of 618 AD, Li Yuan declared himself emperor and established the Tang Dynasty, while Li Jing followed the Prince of Qin eastward to suppress Wang Shichong, who had declared himself emperor in Luoyang."
"Afterwards, Li Yuan sent Li Jing south to destroy Xiao Xian of the Southern Liang, but the natural defenses of this area were in the hands of the enemy, so it was not easy for Li Jing to fight."
"But in Li Yuan's view, he was courting death and delaying military operations. So Li Yuan ordered Xu Shao, the governor of Xia Prefecture, to execute Li Jing. However, Xu Shao also saw that Li Jing was talented, so he spared him and he escaped death again."
A scion of a prominent family in the Song Dynasty: As a general, I was in danger twice not on the battlefield, but because of Li Yuan!
An official from the Ming Dynasty: However, Li Yuan's reputation has never been good! Look at what he did to Li Shimin!
Emperor Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty: ...
An official from the Han Dynasty said: "Fortunately, Li Jing met Li Shimin, otherwise the Tang Dynasty would have lost a great general!"
……
"After this incident, Li Jing assisted Li Xiaogong in launching an attack, and in just two months, they destroyed the Southern Liang. As a result, he was granted the title of Shangzhuguo and Duke of Yongkang County. Later, he even captured the rebellious Fu Gongshi."
"In 626 AD, our Taiyuan Prince Erfeng was finally going to make his move! Li Jing did not take sides and remained neutral, so the Xuanwu Gate Incident ended with Li Shimin's victory."
"Three years later, Li Jing finally got his moment of glory. In January 630 AD, Li Jing led three thousand elite troops to conquer Dingxiang, which shocked the northern barbarians."
"The main protagonist this time is still the same one who was considered a great humiliation by Erfeng—the Khagan of Jieli."
Li Erfeng of the Tang Dynasty: ...
"Afterwards, Erfeng sent Tang Jian to appease Jieli Khan, who wanted to surrender! But the Khan's surrender was fake! In fact, he had long wanted to escape!"
"Li Ji gave Li Jing a terrible idea. Based on the experience of his predecessors, he suggested that we take advantage of the fact that Khan Jieli was relaxed and just rush in to kill him!"
"As for Tang Jian, who went in to appease Jieli Khan, he naturally became a pawn to be discarded. However, in the end, Tang Jian, who was in danger, still managed to escape by fighting for his life."
Li Jing: Opportunity knocks but once! Han Xin did the same thing! There's nothing to regret about people like Tang Jian!
Prosecutor Tang: ...MMP...
"So while Tang Jian was still enjoying a delicious meal and singing with Jieli Khan, his own men started fighting. When Jieli Khan heard the noise and saw what was happening, he was so frightened that he immediately ran away!"
"This time, Li Jing led his army to kill 10,000 enemies, capture over 100,000, seize hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep, capture the son of Jieli Khan, Dieluoshi, and also kill Princess Yicheng."
A scion of a prominent family in the Song Dynasty: An overwhelming victory! Awesome!
A bystander from the Ming Dynasty commented: "Luckily, Tang Jian escaped! It seems the Tang Dynasty was always very strong!"
A Tang Dynasty official: Those days of the Tang Dynasty are truly unforgettable!
Liu Zhuzhu (Big Han): From a strategic perspective, sacrificing one person for victory is indeed worthwhile, but it's rather cruel to the person who was abandoned!
