To the east of Youzhou, it belongs to Yuyang County, Jizhou, the northernmost part of Tianjin City in later generations. A group of Khitan soldiers also retreated to the north.

Many soldiers looked depressed, and there were a few Khitan curses in the marching ranks from time to time. The Khitan army commanding this branch looked gloomy, and his eyes were filled with ferocious light, which made people feel chilled... But when Xiao Wen turned around and looked over fiercely, he suddenly faced the pair of burning eyes, and his momentum suddenly became weaker.

Wang Yanqiu was carrying two dark sledgehammers in his hand, majestic, and the pair of tricks also showed a terrifying cold light... It seems that if these Khitan soldiers who invaded Jizhou refused to retreat, he would have been ready to fight.

Beside Wang Yanqiu, there were all the mighty and fierce military cavalry and guards, all of them were murderous. It seemed that they didn't care about fighting fiercely with the Khitan army again... and there were even some fierce and fierce armored horses, lifting the reins of the horses and tightening weapons, and their eyes were full of eagerness to try.

The Khitan soldiers were in Yuyang and were about to take down the entire Jizhou area in one fell swoop. However, when they arrived at the city wall, they heard the turbulent horse hooves slamming violently against the surface, making a rumble. The Wei army's cavalry and infantry suddenly rushed out of the swampy dust, rolled up grass and dust and approached quickly, immediately intercepting the Khitan soldiers' way of advancing. The awe-inspiring murderous intent immediately spread across the field...

Basically the same argument is the same. Since the Wei Dynasty was the Zhengshuo Dynasty of the Central Plains and had already destroyed the Jinyang court of the Later Tang Dynasty, the territory of the Tang court in the old days should have been taken over by the Wei Dynasty. If the Khitan army attempted to occupy Jizhou again, it would be regarded as an invasion of the national border. Let's leave it here, it depends on whether you dare to fight...

The commander of this group of Khitan troops was as steady as Yelu Be, and knew that it was not appropriate to start a war with the Wei Dynasty at the moment. Wang Yanqiu was also tough, and clearly wanted to make the Khitan army turn around and get out of here... The Wei Dynasty and the Khitan sides would inevitably go through the process of sending envoys to each other's negotiations. But at least for now, if the war starts rashly... the Khitan army generals who led their troops to control the areas under Jizhou would not be able to bear this responsibility.

Therefore, after taking Zhuozhou first, Wang Yanzhang and Wang Yanqiu rushed to the north and forced the Hu cavalry to retreat north, and expanded the territory north to a corner of You and Ji. However, during this period, the Khitan had a very unpleasant relationship...

Li Tianqu didn't care that the conflict with the Khitan began to become increasingly acute. Yelu Abaoji still had the ambition to covet the Central Plains, so what he could do would only make him feel less and less happy.

However, Li Siyuan gathered the remaining troops of the Later Tang Dynasty and fled far away from the frontier to Taiyuan, Hedong... Li Tianqu pondered for a moment, suddenly sighed:

"At this time, Li Siyuan will still be holding the banner and intending to revive the country and country of the Li family in Hedong..."

If he continues according to the official history line, Li Cunxu favors the actors and eunuch party, which seriously damages the interests of many former generals in the Later Tang Dynasty, and the soldiers from all walks of life are even full of resentment... Li Siyuan was ordered to quell the rebellion, but his personal soldiers under his tent mutiny and even reached a consensus with the rebels, insisting on electing him as the monarch; the big bosses in the various armies expressed their willingness to support Li Siyuan, so he had to go to the opposite side of Li Cunxu under a very passive situation.

Moreover, compared with the Taizu of Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin, who was later wearing a yellow robe, Li Siyuan's situation was much more dangerous... He was not facing the orphan and widowed mother of Chai, but Li Cunxu, the Emperor Zhuang of Later Tang, who had long been suspicious of him. If he gave up his military power, don't say that his confidants would not agree. Li Siyuan would probably be executed by Li Cunxu... So he was pushed to the throne half-supported position and had no choice.

But no matter what, Li Siyuan started an army and fought against Emperor Li Cunxu, and seized the throne of his adopted father's son, and he would inevitably be criticized by the world after all.

The situation is completely different now. Li Siyuan is now equivalent to paying his country with his own power. No matter how difficult and dangerous the situation is, he must recontinue the Later Tang Dynasty founded by his adopted father and righteous brother. Of course, there will be many generals who are willing to follow him wholeheartedly and continue to fight. However, Li Siyuan had to choose to escape from the Great Wall. The so-called Later Tang power he wanted to continue... is inevitably subject to change.

The ruling class of the Later Tang Dynasty was the Shatuo tribe, but the Shatuo people accepted Chinese dialect differently. For example, when Li Cunxu was born, his father Li Keyong had occupied Hedong, so Li Cunxu was influenced by the audience since childhood and liked to read "Spring and Autumn Annals". He was very good at speaking the meaning of the great things. He was not only good at music, but also able to write lyrics and fu, and was also a serious obsessive patient in Liyuan dramas... It can be said that the habits of the Shatuo people were no longer obvious, and there was no difference between them and the noble children of ordinary Han people.

Moreover, Li Cunxu was very afraid of dogs because wild dogs meant that they were implying the Hu people at this time, so he thought that he had become a naturalized person in the Han and Tang dynasties, and even rejected the original identity of Shatuo Hu people. He reorganized and proclaimed to be emperor, established the Later Tang Dynasty, and claimed to inherit the royal family of the previous dynasty, and felt that he was no different from the Han emperors in the Central Plains;

Li Siyuan was not the case. He was nearly twenty years older than Li Cunxu. He was originally named Miao Jilie, but he was a down-and-out tribe with no surname in the Shatuo clan. At the age of thirteen, he joined Li Guochang's army and fought from outside the border to the Central Plains... So Li Siyuan was a nomadic people in his early years. Even though he was very authentic in Chinese later, he was ignorant of the people, so the degree of sinicization compared with Li Cunxu was still far from that of the people.

Moreover, even if Li Siyuan became Emperor Mingzong of Later Tang, he would burn incense in the palace every night and pray to God that said, "A certain foreigner is a chaotic person, and he is promoted by the public, but he will not be able to do anything. I hope God will be a saint as soon as possible and be the mainstay of the people." So Li Siyuan admitted openly that he was a Shatuohu, but still did his best to be a good emperor.

Compared to his righteous brother Li Cunxu who is good at drama, lyrics and music, Li Siyuan is more like a rough man who has not yet faded his habits of Hu people. However, he also confirmed that his cultural cultivation is poor and he may not be able to be a wise ruler... But now he is far from the influence of the Han civilization in the Central Plains, and returns to his childhood, the grasslands outside the border that are most familiar with in his youth. The environment is completely different. Li Siyuan can no longer manage the court in the Central Plains dynasty and strengthen his power as much as possible... What's more, among the troops who follow him, the proportion of Han people has dropped greatly, and the Shatuo tribe has more dominant position, which will lead to what changes will happen to the Later Tang power he ruled now?

Those who enter the Chinese state of Diyi are the Chinese state of China; those who enter the Chinese state of Diyi are the Chinese state of Diyi... When Diyi first enters the Central Plains and then returns to the frontier, the phenomenon of Diyi transformation may become more and more obvious.

Failed to fight for hegemony in the Central Plains, he returned to the grassland outside the border, recruited troops again to make a comeback. Li Keyong had done that with his son Li Guochang; and when he was at a disadvantage in the confrontation with Zhu Wen, Li Keyong had thought so... As a result, the only thing that had to implement this plan is Li Siyuan, the only remaining one among Li Keyong's parents and children...

It can be foreseeable that compared to being in the Central Plains, Li Siyuan led the remaining troops of the Later Tang Dynasty to live outside the Great Wall, and he had to compete for living space with other nomadic tribes and faced encirclement and suppression by the Khitan... The forces formed by nomadic peoples lived in water and grass, and took animal husbandry as their business. From time to time, they invaded the money in the south and invaded the northern border to plunder materials. This is also the norm.

What's more, when the Wei Dynasty destroyed the Jinyang court of the Tang Dynasty, he was a mortal enemy with Li Siyuan. Of course, he would also wait for an opportunity to invade the south. Even if he did not advance in large quantities and regain the strength of his hometown, he would only be a thief for a thousand days, so how could he defend against the thief for a thousand days... If Li Siyuan sent troops from time to time to time and found that something was wrong, he would immediately run away, which would be quite a headache... and Li Tianqu thought about it again, and suddenly said in a long voice:

"Li Siyuan's age should be over fifty years old... He still has to work hard to revive his strength outside the Great Wall... but how long can he work hard?"
