After Huang Chao was defeated, Li Keyong returned home and went through Bianzhou to entertain Zhu Wen, an ally who was originally a joint battle. However, Zhu Wen suddenly killed the night at Shangyuan Post, set fire to the room, and arranged for the ambush to take Li Keyong's life... Although he survived by chance and joined the troops and horses that were rectified in Fengchan Temple, Li Keyong's confidant general Shi Jingsi and the 300 personal soldiers who joined Shangyuan Post fought hard to ensure that the lord could escape smoothly, and all of them died...

Li Tianqu has also seen some signs of an outbreak in this historical event.

As for the reason why Zhu Wen suddenly turned against him and wanted to attack Li Keyong, there are two statements in later generations. One is that Zhu Wen is too popular because the Hedong vassal state controlled by Li Keyong is too popular and will eventually become a strong enemy to fight for the world in the future. He will take the initiative first, and it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to take action on his own territory; the other is that Li Keyong is too domineering and is so angry that Zhu Wen is in a murderous way after getting drunk.

Now Li Tianqu’s view is that these two reasons should be Zhu Wen’s motive for murdering Li Keyong.

After all, according to Zhu Wen's temperament, he should not be impulsive and he should have imagined how to eliminate Li Keyong, a competitor. Li Keyong clearly did not take Zhu Wen seriously. He was too arrogant. He didn't expect that the other party would not only dare to touch him, but also wanted to kill him.

In this way, the two forces formed a deadly feud that could not be resolved, and the world trend of the first two dynasties of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms was basically revolved around the 40-year battle for hegemony between Liang and Jin. Other vassal states often fought and reconciled each other according to their own interests. However, unless the Xuanwu Army and the Hedong Army were resting and recuperating, they were also in order to completely eliminate each other, and there was no possibility of stopping the peace.

Li Tianqu made long-term plans and had thought that Li Keyong and Zhu Wen were incompatible, which might be a good thing for him to gain room for development. However, before he had the ability to declare war on them, he should maintain a relationship with either of them, and it would be impossible to gain profit from it.

At present, he can only expect the development of the situation and still be as good as the original trajectory. Although Li Keyong is in danger, he can still escape from heaven. So Li Tianqu feels that even though he has a good impression of Shi Jingsi, he is the confidant who is currently with Li Keyong. So in a short time, he will be a dead person.

Li Cunzhang, Li Cunxin and other Hedong Army generals must have led their troops to retreat before. Li Tianqu said in his heart that they didn't know what they would react after they learned that Huang Chao's head was taken by him. As for the arrogant Li Cunxiao, unfortunately, he was unable to see his angry look. Shi Jingsi did show a very free and easy appearance. Li Tianqu was having a slight conversation with such an open-minded person, but I'm afraid you're about to die. You can't speak in person with such a proud and arrogant person...

At this moment, Li Tianqu probably heard Li Keyong on the other table mat and shouted loudly: "Huang Chao recruited thieves, but most of them were bandits and bandits, and scoundrels. Why did the official army in the past be so weak that the thieves were rampant? In the end, it was just because the vassal states had their own thoughts and refused to try their best to do their best. Since I, Li Keyong, have defeated the thieves in one battle, and Huang Chao's rebellious party was revealed, how could he have been rampant for more than ten years?"

Li Tianqu heard this and said that if the listener was interested, Zhu Wen might also feel hatred secretly. After pondering for a moment, he still whispered to Shi Jingsi: "Li Jieshuai is brave and powerful, and he has long admired him. However, although Zhu Jieshuai, the Xuanwu Army, rebelled by the bandits, was already reused by the imperial court. Li Jieshuai was straightforward. After all, he was under the rule of the Xuanwu Army, Bianzhou. Such words are probably inappropriate..."

Shi Jingsi actually showed a bit of concern on his face, but with his position, of course, he would not comment on his lord's words and deeds in front of Li Tianqu, so he waved his hand and smiled: "Where should I think about that much? How could my lord be wrong? It was Zhu Quanzhong who asked me to send troops to join forces with the Hedong Army. The lord was very important to fight against the thieves. Now that he has achieved great achievements, he would say a few words to Zhu Quanzhong's Xuanwu Army that he doesn't like to hear, but what can he do?"

"...I have no intention of making trouble. But the strong dragon does not suppress the local snake. Under the jurisdiction of Bianzhou under the jurisdiction of Zhu Jieshuai, there is no reason why there will be any conflict in the territory occupied by the other party..."

After a while, Li Tianqu finally said a long voice, but he quickly bowed to Shi Jingsi and apologized: "The next time he spoke abruptly, of course, it was not accusing Li Jieshuai of words and deeds, but he just thought that being careful in everything was the best. Li Jieshuai and Zhu Jieshuai were so experienced, so where was it my turn to talk about how they were doing in life?"

Shi Jingsi did not mean to blame Li Tianqu. He stared at him thoughtfully for a moment and suddenly smiled: "Li Dujiang, I heard from you that I am also considering my lord. It seems that you are more willing to get close to my lord than Zhu Quanzhong?"

Li Tianqu smiled slightly, then nodded slowly, and whispered: "From the following point of view, Li Jieshuai has a strong prestige and has made great achievements for the country. He is even more talented in commanding troops and generals. He is able to compete with Li Jieshuai, even the Shishi Governor and the Hedong heroes. He will be lucky in his three lives."

It is not said that he is criticizing Li and criticizing Zhu, but Li Tianqu replied to Shi Jingsi in this way, and also revealed that I am indeed more inclined to be close to Hedong vassal states than Xuanwu Army.

However, in terms of the current situation, Li Tianqu knew that Ke Shang was not from Zhu Wen. Li Keyong chose to choose a sideline, form close allies with one side, and become a feud with the other side. He tried his best to make trouble during Zhu Wen's decision to murder Li Keyong, trying to save the Hedong Jiedushi, and then try to change the fate of Shi Jingsi's guarding the Lord and killing him in battle. Li Tianqu had thought about this plan...

But after careful consideration, Li Tianquxin said that if he really did this, there was only one way to go, that was, to escape to the Hedong vassal states with Li Keyong.

After all, in addition to his great achievements in killing Huang Chao, he entered the vision of the vassal states and governors, he came to meet with Zhu Wen and Li Keyong. It was not the time to send troops to fight. Wang Yanzhang, An Renyi, Ge Congzhou, Zhang Guiba and other capable generals were still resting in Wanqiu, Chenzhou. This time, I am afraid that I would not be able to catch up with the incident in Shangyuanyi.

If he could come in time, he would not end up like Shi Jingsi. Even if he saved Li Keyong's life with his own hands, he would be grateful to the Li family in Hedong... Correspondingly, Zhu Wen made up his mind to kill Li Keyong, and tore off his face and completely do things. Li Tianquxin said that although he was already suspicious, they still had the opportunity to use each other... But once he took action, he would inevitably become the first target Zhu Wen had to get rid of.

Now the imperial decree of the Tang court on the reward of great merits has not been issued yet. Li Tianqu knew that he would still have to stay in Chenzhou for a while, and it would be under Zhu Wen's nose. It would be even more difficult to kill him. What's more, the Tang court would choose which vassal state to give him a title, but Li Tianqu still didn't know. Just because the court's attitude of not being able to offend both sides after the Shangyuan Post incident in history was mixed with the court and did not dare to offend both ends, he deliberately cut off Huang Chao's head and fought for such a huge contribution, and it would be very likely to be in vain.

If he followed Li Keyong all the way north, he would have to be protected by the Hedong vassal states for a long time. Li Keyong asked for an explanation but failed, and then launched a protracted battle for the hegemony with Zhu Wen. Although he was the most powerful enemy of the other party, he still made Zhu Wen better...

Taking advantage of the Shangyuanyi Incident and relying on Li Keyong, not only did there be many unknown dangers during this period, but even if things were successful, it would limit his future development space. Li Tianqu weighed the pros and cons, but finally decided to take another path.
