"Yes, it's so satisfying! However, if I can send your Highness 100,000 soldiers, it depends on whether your Highness has the ability to take it!" Meng Shize's face was filled with smiles.

Staring at Meng Shize's scheming look, Tang Yu said speechlessly: "You might as well want me to subdue Li Jing, right?"

"That's right, if you want to obtain these 100,000 soldiers, it depends on whether Your Highness can conquer Li Jing!" Meng Shize nodded and responded.

Tang Yu rolled his eyes and said, "The army will be sent tomorrow. In such a short time, do you want me to subdue a person I have never known each other? How is this possible?"

"Don't worry, don't worry, can your highness know why Li Jing, as the founder of the armor-piercing soldier of hundreds of battles, became a bandit?" Meng Shize smiled.

Tang Yu asked, "Why is this?"

He really couldn't figure out how a super general like Li Jing could have been able to get into a situation like a bandit.

"This matter starts with the invasion of the Great Chu three years ago." Meng Shize sighed, and his eyes suddenly became deeper.

It turned out that three years ago, he led an army of 300,000 to invade, and the Tang Dynasty was solemnly ready to mobilize 500,000 troops across the country to garrison Jingzhou City.

Jingzhou City is the first line of defense of the Tang Dynasty. It is as solid as a rock, easy to defend but difficult to attack. Logically speaking, a 500,000 army faces a 300,000 army, with enough advantage in number. In addition, with Jingzhou City as a guarantee, the Tang Dynasty has long been invincible.

But the problem lies with the commander Tang Long. At that time, the general of the country protection was Qin Mang, who was injured at home and could not go out to fight. Qin Mang suggested that Tang Long take charge of the battle. In Qin Mang's view, this was a persistent battle. As long as you do not make low-level mistakes, resisting the invasion of the Great Chu is definitely not a problem.

But no one expected that Tang Long was eager to make contributions and played a good hand of cards badly.

Three years ago, the leader of the Great Chu army was Hou Ye Yuanba, the champion of the Great Chu. Ye Yuanba carried an army of 300,000 and attacked the city for half a month. Not only did he not gain any advantage, he also suffered continuous losses of troops and generals.

So, Ye Yuanba had a plan. He led his troops to attack the city himself, deliberately shot by Tang Long with an arrow, and then began to pretend to die. With Ye Yuanba pretending to die, the Great Chu Army Camp was wailing, and countless generals put on white clothes and hung up white silk, as if the champion Hou Ye Yuanba was really shot to death by Tang Long with an arrow.

Tang Long was overjoyed when he saw this and prepared to take this opportunity to attack the Dachu military camp at night.

Li Jing realized that something was abnormal at that time. He dissuaded Tang Long not to take risks, but Tang Long took the lead for the first time to go to war, and he ignored Li Jing's dissuasion and insisted on his own.

That night, except for the 30,000 defenders left in the city, more than 400,000 troops all left the city to attack the Da Chu military camp at night. What no one expected was that the Chu military camp was empty, and the Chu military resting camp tent was buried with tinder oil. When Tang Long reacted, a rain of arrows carrying firelight fell from the sky.

The feather arrow carrying the fire directly ignited the tinder oil, and the explosion was deafening in an instant, and the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were seriously injured in the explosion.

Then, the champion Hou Ye Yuanba brought people in like nothing happened. Ye Yuanba was born with divine power and had great power. After a few encounters, he killed several generals of the Tang Dynasty, and the morale of the Tang Dynasty suddenly became disintegrated.

Tang Long knew that he had been fooled, so he immediately chose to lead his troops to break through.

However, the situation was in chaos at that time. No matter how many troops in the Tang Dynasty were, the morale of the army had long been disintegrated. The ambushed archers of Da Chu, and a large number of soldiers were shot by the Great Chu feather arrows as soon as they broke through successfully.

After a night of fierce fighting, Tang Long finally fled back to Jingzhou City with less than 50,000 people.

Tang Long thought it would be safe like this, but he didn't expect Ye Yuanba dug the tunnel in advance. Tang Long had just returned to Jingzhou City, and the Chu army followed the tunnel and killed him again.

Tang Long joined forces with 30,000 defenders in Jingzhou City and defeated the Chu army at a tragic price. After the war, only 500,000 troops remained in Jingzhou City.

What makes people despair is that 300,000 reinforcements from the Great Chu arrived in time, and the joint champion Hou Yeyuanba had a total of 200,000 troops, gathering a total of 500,000 people.
