The Number One Advisor Under Dou Jiande
"Stop!"
When the old man approached Zhang Xun, he was stopped by Zhang Xun's personal soldiers.
"Break through 100,000 at sea, occupy the flow ball, and raise the army! Viceroy Zhang is scheming!"
The old man did not panic when facing the soldiers. Instead, he looked up at Zhang Xun and smiled.
When Zhang Xun heard this, he noticed this old man.
He didn't look special. He was dressed in coarse linen clothes and looked energetic. His eyes were a little turbid as if he could see through everything.
"Invite him up!"
Zhang Xun ordered.
....
"Greetings, Viceroy Zhang.”
" Greetings!" The old man dressed in gray cloth and hemp clothes came before Zhang Xun and bowed.
Ling Jing?
This name sounded familiar…
Zhang Xun was slightly stunned.
He seemed to have heard this name somewhere before.
However, he couldn't remember for a moment.
Behind Zhang Xun, the older Wang Tiesheng exclaimed.
" Ling Jing!?"
"What's wrong, Uncle Wang?"
Zhang Xun turned his head and asked.
"It's actually him…Back then, he was the number one strategist under the Xia King Dou Jiande who ruled Hebei!”
" Dou Jiande's number one strategist?!"
Information about Ling Jing flashed through Zhang Xun's mind.
It was actually him?
Zhang Xun did not expect that there would be such a person hidden among his 40,000 men.
This Ling Jing was the number one strategist under Dou Jiande during the chaotic era of the Sui Dynasty.
That year, Li Shimin besieged Luoyang Wang Shichong, Dou Jiande led troops to rescue.
Li Shimin stationed his troops at Luoyang City, unable to conquer it after a long attack, while Dou Jiande led his army forward, forming a pincer attack with Wang Shichong!
It could be said that the Tang army at that time was in danger of being completely wiped out if they were not careful.
Li Shimin had no choice but to take a risk and surround Luoyang with his army. He personally led the elite Tang army to Hulao Pass to fight Dou Jiande!
And Dou Jiande's number one advisor Ling Jing suggested that Dou Jiande did not have to face Li Shimin directly, but to attack the rear of the Tang army to force Li Shimin to return to help.
In the end, Dou Jiande did not listen and fought fiercely with the Tang army at Hulao Pass. In the end, he was defeated and Dou Jiande was captured…
Ling Jing was disheartened and retired to the mountains and forests, never to be seen in history books.
He did not expect to see this famous strategist in the chaotic Sui Dynasty here…
"I didn't know that Mr. Ling had graced us with your presence.”Zhang Xun immediately stood up and politely cupped his hands. "May I know why Mister has come?”
"I don't dare to advise you. I just don't know where I'm staying and want to consult you, Viceroy.”
Ling Jing revealed a smile on his face. Then, he lifted his robe and sat on the ground.
"Does the Viceroy want to compete with the Tang Empire?" Ling Jing asked indifferently.
"The Tang Empire has the Central Plains and unified the world. How can I fight with them in a short period of time?”Zhang Xun shook his head and smiled.
"The Viceroy is invincible in water battles. He defeated 100,000 in one battle and controls the sea. He can advance and retreat.”Ling Jing said with a smile.
"The Tang Empire has been unified, and the people can rest. I don't want to start a war lightly and trap the people in fire and water.”
A faint smile appeared on Ling Jing's lips.
This Governor Zhang Xun had plundered tens of thousands of people and came to this Flowing Ball Island. He didn't open up wasteland, but instead built a lot of buildings, made weapons, and trained soldiers.
How could his actions be as benevolent as what he said?
" The people of virtue live in the world. The people of virtue live in high positions, and the people can rest.”
"What is a virtuous person?"
"As long as the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong."
"In terms of strength, how can I compare to Li Tang?”
"The Viceroy occupies Liaodong, Baekje, Silla, and runs amok on the sea. What can Li Tang do?”
Zhang Xun looked at Ling Jing with interest.
This former number one strategist under Dou Jiande was quite interesting.
It was actually similar to what he had imagined.
In other words, the first person in his group to guess his thoughts was actually Mr. Ling Jing.
From the looks of it, this Ling Jing really had some skills.
"Sir, you're a genius!"
Zhang Xun stood up and cupped his hands towards Ling Jing.
He really needed a strategist who understood this era.
Especially since Ling Jing was Dou Jiande's number one strategist back then, his level naturally wouldn't be too bad.
"I'm willing to acknowledge you as my military advisor. I wonder if you're willing to conspire with us?”
"Viceroy's words are too important. I'm willing to do my best!" Ling Jing said with a smile.”
When Ling Jing was kidnapped onto the boat by a group of pirates, he really did not expect himself to be so unlucky.
After hiding his identity for more than ten years, he was kidnapped by a group of pirates. Who was he going to reason with?
However, the following experience made Ling Jing rather interested in Zhang Xun.
Especially the decisive battle on the sea.
He actually defeated 100,000 enemies with an absolute disadvantage in strength!
His performance reminded Ling Jing of the Tang Emperor Li Shimin in Chang 'an.
Back then, the King of the Tang Empire, Li Shimin, was famous for his ability to attack many with fewer people.
If this Zhang Xun was born twenty years earlier, who would this world belong to…It was still unknown.
And what made Ling Jing determined to leave the mountain was…
That piece of paper found its way to Flowing Ball Island, but there was no agriculture. Uncharacteristically, he actually dared to take industry and commerce as his profession.
Such a Governor who didn't play by the rules.
Ling Jing really wanted to see how far he could go in the end.
Perhaps…
He would be a great enemy of the Tang Dynasty!
Ling Jing was still brooding over Dou Jiande's failure back then.
This time, he wanted to do it again.
