Why is Li Jing, the first war god of the Tang Dynasty, not as famous as Wei Qing and Huo Qubing

Li Jing

Do you know who is the number one war god in the Tang Dynasty?
He wields soldiers like a god
More than 30 wars in life
No defeat
But his reputation is far less than that of Wei Qing, Cheng Yaojin and others
He has a clever plan
Han Xin cannot be compared with him either.
It only took him three wars
This laid the foundation for most of the Tang Dynasty.
Let's look back at history
Go search for the life of this legendary figure of the Tang Dynasty
He is Li Jing, Duke Wei of the Tang Dynasty
The General Soldier of Chentangguan in Fengshen Romance
The prototype of King Li Tianwang in the list of gods
Li Jing lived in Nanping and Wu
Destroy the Eastern Turks from the north
West Potu Yuhun
Countless military exploits, big and small
But why is it famous?
But not as good as Wei Qing and Huo Qubing who defeated the Huns.
What is the reason for this?
puzzling
First Li Jing defeated the enemy too quickly
When Li Jingbei destroyed the Eastern Turks
Led 3,000 cavalry to surprise the Eastern Turks in winter
Caused the Eastern Turks to surrender to the Tang Dynasty
Li Jingxi breaks the earth and jade soul
It only took two months
Then the earth jade soul became a vassal again
No more rebellion
Each battle is too short
too smooth
The one-sided form is not conducive to the promotion of the campaign.
However, we compare Wei Qing and Huo Qubing to defeat the Xiongnu
It was discovered that the duo's defeat of the Huns was a long-term process
And this process is gradual
There is a mutual game between the two parties
This makes
Campaigns can be promoted as military epics
Help increase its reputation
Second, people have different understandings of powerful enemies.
During the Qin and Han Dynasties
The Huns were a powerful enemy of the Central Plains Dynasty
Qin Shihuang built the Great Wall
Mengtian sent 300,000 troops north to attack the Huns
Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty ascended to the throne in vain
The Han Dynasty paid tribute to the Xiongnu and Qin Dynasty
This shows the strength of the Huns
Looking back at the Tang Taizong period
Turks have been divided into East and West Turks
Strength has declined
People have little knowledge about Turks
And the Turks were divided again
In the Sui Dynasty again
It was to proclaim himself a minister to Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty.
So I don’t think the Eastern Turks are a strong enemy.
Tubohun had previously paid tribute to the Tang Dynasty.
Moreover, Tubo Hun's territory was originally smaller than that of Tang Dynasty
The strength is far weaker than that of the Tang Dynasty
Then he is no longer a strong enemy.
But in fact
East Turks and Tuyuhun are both very strong opponents.
During the period of the late Sui Dynasty and early Tang Dynasty, the Eastern Turks
Continuously expanding southward
During the Xuanwumen Mutiny
The army points directly at Chang'an
This made Li Shimin realize
The Eastern Turks posed a major threat to the Tang Dynasty
He must be eliminated to avoid future troubles
Third, Li Jing was mythologized
Because of the two works Fengshen Yanyi and Journey to the West
Portrayal of Li Jing
As a result, when we mention Li Jing
Will directly think of Nezha’s father
Chentangguan General Soldier Pagoda King Li Jing
And ignored Li Jing himself
Regarding Li Jing’s illustrious military exploits and historical achievements
That's even less known
In fact, Li Jing, the God of War of the Tang Dynasty
The reason why he became Li Jing, the king of pagodas
Mainly because of his outstanding military exploits
Deeply loved by the people
so
Folk novels and legends continue to depict Li Jing
eventually gradually became
Li Jing, the king of pagodas we know today
Analyze the reasons
we finally found
Li Jing, both in terms of military exploits and resume
They are no worse than Wei Qing and Huo Qubing
Just because the times are different
People have different perceptions of the powerful enemies they face
Defeating enemies with Li Jing too fast
leading to his deeds
It is impossible to defeat the Xiongnu like Wei Qing and Huo Qubing did
Can be sung as a war epic
for many reasons
Eventually Wei Qing and Huo Qubing became famous
Far better than Li Jing
But from the perspective of Li Jing’s myth
Li Jing's fame in ancient China
Definitely higher than Wei Qing and Huo Qubing
Just because of the novel and the legend team
Propaganda of Li Jing, the King of Pagodas
People pay too much attention to the mythical Li Jing
and ignored Li Jing
original military exploits
They are all heroes of their time
They are all worthy of praise and tears.
We cannot rely solely on military merit
Comparing them based on reputation alone
This is disrespectful to these generals and heroes
I have to mention this set of books here
In the vast traditional culture
There have been many prosperous dynasties
Whether you like the openness of the Tang Dynasty
I still like the events of the Han Dynasty
You can all find fun in this set of books
The book uses the deeds of historical figures
Tells the history of one character after another
Make it look more enjoyable
Understand this set of books
Able to clear the clouds and see the sun
See gains and losses clearly
