The secret spies from the Patrol Guards Department have found out that those who secretly had close contacts with the surrendered generals who had been forced by An Chongba, An Chongjin, Zhang Congbin, etc., who had to return to the court. Li Tianqu knew that although most of the civil and military officials who had served in the Later Tang Dynasty had accepted the reality, there were inevitably a small group of people who still had plans to rebel and rebel in the name of reviving their homeland.
Originally, among the descendants of Li Keyong, except for Li Luoluo who died early and died at the hands of Zhu Wen, only Li Yazi Li Cunxu was famous all over the world. Others were used to being pampered, with mediocre abilities and no ambitions. Now those who have left their lives will never dare to make trouble again, but are willing to be a submissive citizen of the Wei Dynasty.
Only Li Cunba was unwilling to be a monk who ate vegetarian food and chanted Buddha's name for the rest of his life... Begging the Wei Dynasty to allow him to become a monk was just a means of self-protection.
According to the official history line, the changes in the Tang Xingjiao Sect in the Later Tang Dynasty, when Li Siyuan entered Luoyang City, Li Cunba fled to the old land of Hedong, deliberately changed into a monk's robe, crying and hoping to escape into the monk's sect, enter the mountain to be a monk, begging for his life. However, he secretly plotted to kill the remaining guards in Taiyuan, with the intention of occupying Hedong and reincarnating... Although Li Cunba's ability was destined to not cause any great storms, he was very addicted to people and food, and he still had the courage to take risks.
Since he knew that Li Cunba had a great probability of rebelling and causing chaos, Li Tianqu naturally pretended to be confused and agreed to his request to stay in the Hedong territory to become a monk... Now it is finally time to follow the clues and use Li Cunba to find out the surrendered generals of the Later Tang who were unwilling to accept their fate, and then annihilate and eradicate them.
Among the surrendered generals who secretly engage in and conspired with Li Cunba, such as An Chongba, is very scheming and good at pleasing others, but he is cunning and cunning and greedy. His brother An Chongjin was evil in nature and tried his sword. He even fled more than once on his crimes, but he still couldn't resist the urge to kill people without reason. According to historical records, Zhang Congbin responded to the rebellion and killed the prince Shi Chongxin and Shi Chongyi, and led his troops to plunder gold and silk in the inner treasury...
In short, those surrendered generals of the Later Tang who decided to betray the Wei Dynasty were either greedy or cruel, and they all had some opportunities to think about how to rebel and rebellion.
Although the Wei Dynasty dominated the Central Plains and the country was rich in weapons, Li Tianqu and others were probably used to being rampant in the past, and were full of the cruel and cruel nature of warlords in troubled times. They were unwilling to be bound by the more strict law of the Wei Dynasty, so they simply wanted to do things in the name of reviving the Later Tang Dynasty, and sooner or later, they would always make up their minds to trigger rebellion.
However, An Chongba, An Chongjin, Zhang Congbin and other rebel generals had limited troops to incite, and Li Cunba was just a monk who was arranged to become a monk at Qingliang Temple in Wutai Mountain... They must also use their status as a military general in the northern frontier to try to join the troops of Li Siyuan who was wandering outside the frontier. According to the investigation of the secret spies of the patrol guards, Li Cunba had frequent contacts with the surrendered generals of the Later Tang Dynasty. He must have communicated with Li Siyuan and planned to make a big fuss in the near future.
Among the surrendered ministers of the Later Tang Dynasty, almost all the internal ghosts who were thieves were caught. Not only did they catch them all, but they also took the opportunity to severely defeat Li Siyuan. They tried their best to eradicate the threat that had always been trying to recover Hedong and harass our northern border... Li Tianqu thought to himself, and then called Zhang Xiao over and explained it again...

In the clouds, the northern pass of the Datong Army Jiedu North is further to the grassland more than twenty miles away... At night, the sky is full of stars and the vast Milky Way spreads out in the night. Under the stars, the wild grass wafts up and down with the breeze, and vaguely, you can see many people hiding in the tall grass.
Li Siyuan sat cross-legged like a stone sculpture. His face was full of wrinkles and gullies, and there was no difference between him and an elder who was exposed to the wind and sun all year round outside the border... Li Siyuan looked into the distance with a deep gaze, stunned and confused. Compared to the resolute reunion of the troops from the Later Tang Dynasty, he now looks numb and there is a little more confusion in his eyes.
Before too long, Li Siyuan faintly heard a sound of hooves coming into his ears, so he immediately stood up, squinted his eyes and looked south to the distance. His confidant An Chonghui also rushed to the scene and reported in a deep voice:
"Master, An Chongba has arrived..."
Gu Ju
Countless black spots jumped out of the grass one after another. Li Siyuan and the surrendered generals of the Later Tang Dynasty who were incorporated by the Wei Dynasty were on the line. They had been in secret for several contacts, and finally reached the important moment to join forces... Li Siyuan stood up as straight as possible, and saw more than ten cavalry galloping towards him. Among them, An Chongjin, who had originally surrendered to the Wei Dynasty, now his identity was An Chongjin, who rode his horse in front of him. He suddenly tied the reins, rolled his saddle and fell off his horse. He rushed to Li Siyuan and said:
"The last general An Chong's visit... to the Lord."
Li Siyuan drove forward, reached out to hold An Chongjin's arms and helped him up, and asked quickly:
"It's the second time that General An has come out of seclusion and discusses with me. He should be careful, but it is probably easy to make the Wei army suspicious... Has he been sure that there was no leak of the news?"
An Chongba smiled and replied:
"Master, don't worry, the Wei Dynasty set up a vassal state in the north of Yunzhong. The military governor Xie Yanzhang must also use our surrendered generals who are familiar with the terrain. The last general has endured it to this day, and at least he has won the trust of the Wei generals and other generals. Now he is in charge of military affairs in the northern border of Datong. The generals and soldiers on duty on shifts at the checkpoints are mostly the confidants of the last generals, and they are willing to follow the emperor and revival the Tang Dynasty. There is no need to doubt that anyone will leak the news.
Of course, there are also some divisions that are not my old subordinates in Hedong. When the last general takes the army to enter the pass, he suddenly takes the death to kill them all. The master enters the pass and goes south and takes Yunzhong County, the Datong Army's capital. The dog son An Huaipu will also cooperate with the inside and outside, open the city gate to support the master to enter the city... In this way, he will recover the northern parts of Dai first, and it is inevitable to win!"
"If we can successfully capture Yunzhong City and attack Wei and Shuozhou, further south is Yanmen Pass under Daizhou. The terrain around Yanmen Pass is surrounded by peaks, narrow roads, deep valleys, and dangerous terrain, which is really difficult to break... I'm afraid it will be difficult to go deeper into the hinterland of Hedong and regain Taiyuan Jinyang in one fell swoop..."
Li Siyuan nodded first when he heard this, but then sighed and said in a deep voice:
"Even if our army first seizes Yunzhou and then Wei and Shuo two prefectures, the Wei Dynasty would inevitably gather a large army to attack when it heard that the northern border was lost. In terms of our army's situation, we would inevitably face a protracted and bitter battle..."
Seeing that Li Siyuan was a little hesitant, An Chongjin took two more steps forward and then advised:
"Master, take advantage of the fact that Xie Yanzhang, the governor of the Datong Army, went to the western corner of Datong to inspect the border guards. At present, the opportunity is not to be missed, so he will never come again! What's more, Emperor Wu was appointed as the commander of Yunzhong, and then recruited the troops of Daibei, and led 35,000 cavalry into the pass, assisting the Tang Dynasty to attack Huang Chao, and regain the Chang'an capital to achieve success, so he was able to be granted the title of the canonization and dominate Hedong.
Therefore, Yunzhong Daibei is also where I moved to Hedong. Even if I don’t return to my former capital, Taiyuan and Jinyang, once the Lord seized Yunzhong and recovered the lost territory, it would probably make many Shatuerlang, who was forced to return to the Wei people, have the intention to revive his homeland... and do his best to prompt our Tang Dynasty to surrender to the Wei Dynasty to revive the country. Isn’t this what the Lord has always hoped for?
