Li Jing -- the founder of The Tang Dynasty
Li Jing, né Yaoshi, formally Duke Jingwu of Wei, was a general and one time chancellor of the Tang Dynasty in China.
In 630, Li Jing defeated the Eastern Tujue Jiali Khan Ashina Duobi with just 3,000 cavalry soldiers in a surprise attack, allowing Tang to subjugate Eastern Tujue and reduce it to a vassal state. He and Li Shiji were considered the two most prominent early Tang generals.
