Chapter 739 Good Strategy
Just followed with a sigh.
It’s painful to think about this. After the population was counted, they were all dumbfounded. They couldn’t even believe that so many people had died. But they had to believe it because so many people had died.
Li Ji drank a glass of wine with a headache, toasting to the innocent people who died.
Seeing the three of them looking depressed, Li Wu actually felt bad too. Too many people died, and she felt very uncomfortable, like she wanted to cry but couldn't.
"Let me continue talking about you, Senior Li Ji.
Later, Li Mi, who was born into a noble family in the Sui Dynasty, joined the Wagang Camp and led the Wagang Army to grow rapidly.
Out of trust, Zhai Rang gave the position of leader of the Wagang Army to Li Mi.
Who would have thought that this would trigger an internal power struggle within the Wagang Army.
As a result, Zhai Rang and his cronies were killed by Li Mi.
The Wagang Army was also severely damaged and was soon defeated by Wang Shichong, who dominated Luoyang.
After the defeat, Senior Li Ji led the remaining troops back to Wagangzhai, while Li Mi, the commander-in-chief, went to Guanzhong and defected to Li Yuan, who had just established the Tang Dynasty.
At this time, Senior Li Ji, you have the ability to use the resources and land left by Li Mi to establish your own regime, or use it to gain wealth and honor from Li Yuan.
However, Senior Li Ji, you did not do so, but instead transferred all these resources to Li Mi.
Let him present it to Li Yuan, and after Li Yuan heard about this, he felt that Senior Li Ji was a loyal and trustworthy person.
Later, Senior Li Ji, you were granted the title of Right General Wu Hou, the title of Duke of Cao, and were also given the surname Li.
Senior Li Ji, you did the right thing," Li Wu looked at Li Ji with appreciation.
If it were someone else, with so many resources and during a time of war, they would definitely want to establish their own regime and give everything to others. How is this possible?
People are all greedy.
However, Li Ji did not do so, which is really rare.
Zhou Yu and Fan Wencheng also nodded. Indeed, it would be difficult for others to do this.
In front of the sky curtain, Li Yuan nodded with great satisfaction, although he felt that if Li Ji became a force, he would be defeated by the Tang Dynasty sooner or later.
However, he is a man of great insight and is worthy of his title of Duke of Cao.
……
"Little Immortal, I just don't want so many people to be displaced again, and I have seen that Emperor Gaozu did a very good job at that time." He also inquired about Li Yuan's character from many sources. If the other party was a cruel person, he would definitely not hand over those things.
After hearing what Li Ji said, others also knew that he had his own considerations.
"That's right," Li Wu nodded, but Emperor Taizong of Tang was too dazzling, so Li Yuan seemed to have little presence.
But Li Yuan was still very talented.
"Then let's continue to talk about your deeds, Senior Li Ji.
Later, Senior Li Ji, you followed Qin Wang Li Shimin to build the Tang Dynasty.
Before you surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, Senior Li Ji, you often lost more battles than you won.
He was often defeated and barely escaped with his life.
Ever since Senior Li Ji followed Li Shimin, that guy has been like a cheat.
In the Battle of Hulao Pass, Li Shimin defeated two kings in one battle and captured Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande in one fell swoop.
Li Yuan rewarded Li Shimin according to his merits and named him General Tiance. Senior Li Ji, you also wore the same armor and chariot as Li Shimin and went to the Taimiao to report your victory.
After that, Senior Li Ji, you successively pacified Fu Hu and defeated the Eastern Turks, and made great contributions to the unification of the Tang Dynasty.
After Li Shimin ascended the throne, you, Senior Li Ji, changed your name to Li Ji to avoid Li Shimin's name.
Senior Li Ji, your name has really gone through a lot of twists and turns." It was changed from Xu Shiji to Li Shiji, and then to Li Ji.
"It's just a title, you can change it to anything," Li Ji didn't care about this. He thought it was just a name. He even changed his surname, let alone a given name.
Just change it, it’s no big deal.
Moreover, it was he who took the initiative to change the name to avoid Li Shimin. Although Li Shimin never mentioned this and would not care about it, he could not be ignorant, right?
"Indeed, the name is just a title," Zhou Yu and Fan Wencheng nodded in agreement. It was such an honor to have the same surname as the royal family at that time, as that surname was bestowed by the emperor.
"That's right," Li Wu nodded. She didn't really care about changing her name. In her opinion, as long as she was happy, she could change her name to anything she wanted.
If it wasn't too troublesome to change one's name now, she thought many people would change their names.
"In 630 AD, the fourth year of the Zhenguan reign, you, Senior Li Ji, and General Li Jing defeated the Turkic army again and captured Jie Li Khan.
I have mentioned this Jie Li Khan before during the reign of Emperor Taizong of Tang. He took advantage of the situation and now he is going to perform a dance for the Tang Dynasty."
Li Wu couldn't help laughing when he talked about this, and Li Ji also laughed.
Whenever Emperor Gaozu held a banquet, he would ask Jie Li Khan to go up and dance. Although his dancing was ugly, they enjoyed watching him.
The things that the Eastern Turks did brought humiliation to the Tang Dynasty cannot be erased by just a few dances.
In front of the sky curtain, Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, did not look very happy, and so did his ministers. Although they had taken revenge, the shame still existed and it could not be erased.
Zhou Yu and Fan Wencheng looked at each other helplessly and lowered their heads to eat. The people of the Tang Dynasty really knew how to have fun.
“In 633 AD, Senior Li Ji, your father passed away, so you resigned.
You were re-employed soon after, and in 637 AD, you were renamed Duke of Yingzhou and hereditary Governor of Qizhou.
The hereditary provincial governors appointed by the imperial court at that time were just nominal officials and did not take up posts in prefectures and counties.
So, Senior Li Ji, you took on the position of Chief Clerk of the Bingzhou Grand Military Governor's Office and remotely commanded the Prince's Left Guard.
Senior Li Ji, you have served in Bingzhou for a total of sixteen years, and you have enforced discipline and performed your duties quite competently.
In 641 AD, Senior Li Ji was once again summoned to the court and appointed Minister of War.
Later, Senior Li Ji, you led troops many times to pacify the Xueyantuo and followed Li Shimin in the eastern expedition to Goguryeo, and were invincible every time.
Among the twenty-four heroes in the Lingyan Pavilion during the reign of Li Shimin, you, Senior Li Ji, ranked twenty-third.
In 649 AD, Li Shimin was seriously ill. In order to ensure that Senior Li Ji would continue to assist Emperor Gaozong of Tang Li Zhi wholeheartedly after his death, Li Shimin deliberately made a clever arrangement.
First, you, Senior Li Ji, were demoted and sent away. After Li Shimin's death, Li Zhi transferred you back to the court and appointed you as the chief prime minister.
In this way, Senior Li Ji, you have received the favor of the new emperor Li Zhi, and you will definitely be willing to serve Li Zhi.
I have to say that Emperor Taizong of Tang really has a good plan, and Senior Li Ji, you have no choice but to get involved," Li Wu looked at Li Ji helplessly.
Li Ji pursed his lips and remained silent. No, that’s all. What else could he say? He didn’t want to say anything and could only smile bitterly.
In front of the sky curtain, Li Shimin and Li Zhi's faces changed. This was very embarrassing. It was revealed by the little immortal.
