Li Jing was born in a bureaucratic family, and his uncle was a famous Han Qinhu in the late Sui Dynasty. Li Jing received a good education since childhood, and his uncle praised him for his military tactics. Before, he also said to the people around him: "If a gentleman meets a wise man, he will make great achievements. Why bother to be a scholar who talks like a book? " From what Li Jing said, we can see that he has a strong sense of gratitude.
Li Jing began to enter the official career around the age of twenty in the later period of Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty. At first, he worked as a small official "Gong Cao" in Chang 'an County (the county magistrate assisted the officials and made some records), and at the age of 30, he served as the foreign minister of the driving company (an official outside the official position). However, in the imperial court, Li Jing won the attention of Niu Hong, the official minister, and Su Yang, the prime minister, with his superb military and cultural talents. Niu Hong praised him for assisting the emperor, while Su Yang patted his seat and said to Li Jing, "I will definitely be in my position in the future." . Official ministers and prime ministers all spoke highly of him, which also shows that Li Jing's talents are infinite. Later, Li Jing became the official of Mayi County after Taishou and Tongshou.
Almost killed 1 time: In the later period of Yang Di, Li Jing was properly appointed as Mayi. At this time, Yang Di fatuous cruelty, he was overjoyed. Every year, he abused the people's power to launch a foreign war, which caused widespread indignation and resentment, and made people all over the world rise up against the Sui Dynasty. Some officials and nobles also took the opportunity to rise up and occupy the counties as kings. When wars broke out in various places, Li Jing of Mayi discovered that Tang Yuan, who stayed in Taiyuan, was also plotting an uprising. Excavate know, went to Jiangdu to see Yang Di, ready to report Tang Yuan. But I didn't expect that the road was blocked when I went to Chang' an, so I couldn't get out, so I had to stay in Chang' an and wait for the opportunity. 13 years, Li Yuan rose up against Sui. After the Wagangjun and the Sui General Wang captured Henan, they quickly crossed the Yellow River and captured Chang 'an when the troops in Guanzhong were empty. Excavate was in Chang 'an, Li Yuan captured Chang 'an, and Excavate was also captured. Li Yuan decided to kill Li Jing. At the time of execution, Li Jing shouted to Li Yuan: "You fought against the Sui Dynasty only to eliminate riots and pacify the world. How can you behead a strong man with personal grievances? " After listening to Li Jingzhi, Tang gaozu knew that he was an extraordinary person. At this time, Li Shimin also came out to beg for Excavate, and Li Yuancai saved his life. Since then, Excavate has been following Tang Gaozu and Li Shimin. Similarly, Li Jing also realized his wish of "meeting the main meeting".
Personal opinion: From what Li Jing can say when he is about to be beheaded, we know that he is an extraordinary person. He first said that "you are anti-Sui, just to eliminate chaos and level the world" is of great significance, so he told people around him that Li Yuan's anti-Sui was to sit on the emperor in order to eliminate chaos and level the world, and it was a good excuse for being an emperor against Sui, which came from the mouth of officials in the Sui Dynasty. How can I kill a good man just because I am an official of the Sui Dynasty? It means you want to kill an official of the Sui Dynasty. If you kill him, the enemy will think that Li Yuan bears a grudge, and everyone who is the enemy will kill him. It is better to fight to the end. If we don't kill Li Jing, the effect will be just the opposite, and some officials of the Sui Dynasty may surrender voluntarily. Li Shimin is also smart, so he went up to persuade his father to let Tang Gaozu have a step down, while Li Shimin took a fancy to Excavate's talent.
The second time, he was almost killed: Li proclaimed himself emperor to stabilize the rule in Guanzhong area, then captured Bashu area, and then launched a war to unify China from Guanzhong. Excavate led his troops south and attacked Xiaoxian County, Sichuan Province. When Tang Bing led by Li Jing arrived in Zhou Xia (Yichang, Hubei), he was desperately intercepted by Xiao Xian's army, so that he could not reach Kuizhou. Li Yuan was very angry when he learned that he was trapped in Zhou Xia, so he asked the satrap Xu Shao to slay Li Jing on the spot. Xu Shao loves Li very much, so he wrote to intercede for him. After Xu Shao defeated Xiao Xian's army, Li Jing also went to Kuizhou.
During the Jian 'an period, the leaders of ethnic minorities in the area of "present Chongqing" in Kaizhou led troops to attack Kuizhou, and when Wang Li, Zhao County of Kuizhou attacked, the guards failed. After hearing this, Li Jing quickly led 800 soldiers into the camp of Ran Zhaoze, and chose to set an ambush in a dangerous area, where he killed Ran Zhaoze and captured 5,000 enemy troops. This time, Li Jing reached Chang 'an with a record of winning more with less. Tang Gaozu was very happy when he got the news. Li Yuan said to the ministers around him, "I heard that it is better to use people who have made contributions than people who have made mistakes. This time, Li Jing really made a great contribution. " Later, Li Yuan also specially wrote an imperial edict to Li Jing, telling him: "I won't say anything about the past, I have forgotten it."
Since then, Li was appointed as the general manager of Kuizhou, and Li Jing was appointed as the general manager of the March and Li Shi, so that he mastered the specific command of the war. After Li Jing was appointed, he quickly began to implement ten moves and prepared to crusade against Xiaoxian County. The navy division was the focus of the crusade. However, there are few warships in Tang Jun, and most of the troops are northerners who don't understand water. Li Jing focused on shipbuilding and training sailors. During this period, under the pretext of promotion and reuse, Li Jing suggested that Li draw the descendants of local landlords and chiefs to his side, but his ruling position was more consolidated and his morale was stable. Li adopted his method, which laid a good foundation for them to defeat Hyo-hyun later.
In September of that year, the order to March into Jingzhou and attack Xiaoxian County was issued, with Li as the commander-in-chief of Jingxiang Road and Li Jing as the main commander, leading Tang Jun's main force down the river from Kuizhou. At that time, the river surged, the river was narrow and the water flowed rapidly. Xiaoxian thought that Tang Jun couldn't come with the flow and didn't take precautions. Li thought so, too. Then when the river receded, he set off again. Li Jing thought that the Vietnamese army would win this time and told Li his analysis. Li took Li Jing's advice, quickly left the army, went downstream, and arrived in Yiling in October. He found that General Hsiao-hsien's scholar lived in Qingjiang with tens of thousands of soldiers, and Li wanted to pursue him, but Li Jing disagreed. Scholar Hong Shi is Xiao Xian's right-hand man, and the soldiers are elite and brave. Li refused to listen to his orders and personally fought Li Jingshou in the camp. Finally, he was defeated. Li Jingsong found that after the victory, all the literati soldiers disembarked and looted the goods, which was a mess. He immediately led Tang Bing to attack quickly, defeated the literati's army in one fell swoop and killed 10 thousand enemy troops. The literati fled with the beaten army. Excavate soon led Tang Jun as Jiangling at the gates. At that time, Xiaoxian didn't expect Tang Jun to call so soon. He has asked his soldiers to work like farmers. It is difficult to mobilize soldiers now. He can only defend and wait for reinforcements. Li Jing asked the soldiers to take the previously captured ships downstream, and let Xiao Xian's reinforcements think that Xiao Xian has been captured and give up the reinforcements. Sure enough, as Li Jing expected, the reinforcements arrived in Baling, and when they saw the ships on the river, they thought that Jiangling City had been broken, and it was meaningless to come back for reinforcements. Seeing that reinforcements haven't arrived yet, the little fairy has no choice but to open the city gate and surrender because the siege of Tang Jun is very tight.
Excavate was almost killed for the second time. This time, it only shows that Ethan still has some grudges against him. If Li Jing is blocked and cannot reach Kuizhou, he will be killed. Excavate finally contributed a lot, and Tang Gaozu personally ordered him to tell him that nothing had happened before. After defeating Hyo-hyun and returning to Korea, Li Yuan made him Duke of Yong 'an County in Shangzhu.
