Chapter 278 If you want me to give someone, then I want someone from you too

According to the previous agreement, Li Cunxiao, the rebel general of Hedong who had finally captured, still had to hand over to Li Keyong to give him a hand. However, this person could not be handed over for nothing.

He was in communication with Hedong. Although Li Tianqu was kind to Li Keyong's reply, the meaning he wanted to express was: Li Cunxiao was originally yours, and Hedong sent an envoy to come to him, asking to cooperate in capturing the rebel general. Moreover, Li Cunxiao flew to the Yicheng Army to plunder along the way, and wanted to encircle him and intercept him. He also paid a certain amount of casualties... Then we will certainly hand over the person, but we will also ask for some compensation. Isn't that too much?

Li Keyong also gave a reply very readily: The several vassal states you are in charge of, after all, the ways to purchase war horses are limited, and the most important thing I have in Hedong to defeat the tribes in the north is war horses! Is it enough for Li Cunxiao to hand over Li Cunxiao, and our army promised you three thousand strong war horses.

Li Tianqu really wanted to say nothing, but he had to stop when he knew he was better. Li Cunxiao could exchange for three thousand war horses alone, which was almost the same... With Li Ke's violent temper, his current mood must be very bad, and he would not allow anyone to bargain with a slight face. Li Cunxiao, a dying person, cannot be used by himself... This has already drained his value as much as possible.

However, Li Tianqu promised Li Keyong that the conditions offered by him did not expect that his actions would also cause a chain reaction, and would even lead to another famous general who could be compared with Li Cunxiao and Wang Yanzhang in the Romance novels of the Five Dynasties...

Not only was he anxious to question Li Cunxiao in person, Li Keyong is now in charge of the war, and has not seen Li Tianqu for a long time. He took this opportunity to discuss some confidential matters in person. The Hedong Army recovered the Zhaoyi army Xing, Ming and Cizhou, and continued to march eastward. The size of the army was large, and it was necessary to pass through the Wei Bo army's vassal states and then headed south to the border with Li Tianqu on the adjacent road.

Li Cunxiao's betrayal was the most severe hatred for Li Keyong. However, the Wei Bojun Luo Hongxin suddenly turned against him and sent troops to attack him undeclaredly, which completely annoyed Li Keyong. Didn't my troops and horses plunder your command and attack you and wanted to be enemies with Hedong? Success! I just came again, and marched from the territory under your Wei Bojun. At that time, I just robbed you of a few villages, but now I want to rob you ten or a hundred!

In this way, Luo Hongxin had to defend the city with Wei, Bo, Xiang, Bei, Wei, etc. under the vassal states. He allowed the Hedong army to show off his power and domineering on his territory. However, when he came across the border to accept the rebel general Li Cunxiao, Li Keyong was always wary of Luo Hongxin waiting for an opportunity to counterattack. The war horses for the cavalry to be transferred to Li Tianqu, Taiyuan, and even the northern part of the border could not be handed over to Li Tianqu, Taiyuan, Hedong, and even the northern part of the border. How could he gather the number of war horses he agreed to submit in the short term?

So Li Keyong's idea led to the Hebei territory, which was currently under his jurisdiction from Hedong, and was also rich in war horses.

In addition to the vassal states of Wei Bojun Luo Hongxin, Chengde Army Wang Rong, Henghai Army Lu Yanwei, although Wang Chucun, the governor of the Yiwu Army, had a close relationship with Li Keyong, he heard that he had been seriously ill recently and was ill on a bed. He was afraid that his life would not be long. If Li Keyong did not treat himself as an outsider, he would not be inconvenient to ask for it at this time;

However, he was previously hostile to the Hedong Army, but because of Li Kuangwei and Li Kuang's fight, Li Keyong helped to support Liu Rengong, who was in power. The Lulong Army vassal state he commanded is not only an affiliated force of the Hedong Army, but also in the Yanyun territory where "the land of northern Hebei and the horses were born." Li Keyong reached out to ask for money, food, horses... and even generals, and soldiers, so he had no scruples. Li Tianqu said that now he turned to Zhang Juhan, a wise official who served under his command, should have been the eunuch of the military supervisor of the Lulong Army. However, when Li Keyong saw that he had talent, he asked for it from Liu Rengong.

Both Lu Long's army and Wei Bo's army are located in the Hebei border, and the distance is not far away. When I supported you as a military governor, I had to send generals to escort the war horses and come to pay tribute obediently?

At least at present, Liu Rengong dared not openly turn against Li Keyong. Therefore, some officers served in the Hedong Army's vassal states, but they were divided into charge of the Yan army with Kunzhong. Even if the generals stationed in the Lulong Army were reluctant, they had to follow the order of Li Keyong Jun and lead their troops to escort Yan's war horses and come south to inform Li Tianqu's side of receiving the war horses.

It was at this time that Li Tianqu was ordered by Li Keyong to go south to meet in Huazhou again. Guo Chongtao, who was meeting in Baima in Huazhou, learned that the horses were from Hedong, and the general in Rongwei and Yan land was immediately confused, and he forced himself to suppress the urge to pat his forehead and said in his heart:

Yes! Although it can be regarded as a Hedong force, and his life is about to end, he is also a famous general who will be killed by Li Keyong. Not only Li Cunxiao?

Because Li Tianqu heard Guo Chongtao clearly say:

"Li Jieshuai assisted in capturing Li Cunxiao, the rebel general of Hedong. I would like to express my gratitude to my lord, and I will fulfill the previous agreement on behalf of my lord. I will give you three thousand war horses to Guizhen. This favor will be recorded by our Hedong Army...

My lord has sent envoys to Youzhou, and the governor Liu Rengong of Jiedu sent Gao Siji, the commander of the central army under our Hedong, and his brother Gao Sixiang to escort the war horses. After the Yiwu army, it is believed that in a few days, it will also reach the border of Guizhen. I ask the commander of Jie to accept the war horses."

How could Li Tianqu not know about the white horse and silver spear Gao Siji? He pioneered the Four Seasons Fist, which is a martial arts master. He is not only good at charging and breaking the formation, but also a martial arts master... Gao Siji and Gao Sixiang, Gao Silun and Gao Sixu are all known for their bravery. Not only are they the No. 1 gun in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms together with Wang Yanzhang, at least in "The Legend of the Remnant Tang and Five Dynasties", they are only ranked fourth in the fourth most powerful general after Li Cunxiao, Wang Yanzhang and Shi Jianyan!

So when he heard about Gao Siji's name, although Li Tianqu was a little scheming, he was not mentally prepared, and his expression on his face was difficult to remain calm for a while. Guo Chongtao was alert and capable. Seeing that Li Tianqu had a different expression, he hurriedly asked:

"Jingshou? But I don't know what objection there is, and I will go back and report it to the lord to know?"

Li Tianqu coughed twice, and said to let me think about it, but his mind turned rapidly. Speaking of which, Gao Siji, Gao Sixiang and even their brothers are indeed ambiguous. They have a military family and their ancestors guarded the Guizhou of Lulong's army for generations. They were originally Rong generals under the command of the Golden Head King Li Kunwei, so they were previously a capable general under the command of Li Keyong, a mortal enemy of Hedong.

During the breakup between Li Kuangwei and Li Kuangchou, Gao Siji had to temporarily return to the Hedong Army. Li Keyong took the opportunity to assist Liu Rengong in capturing Youzhou, the capital of Lulong's army, and the people in Hedong did not withdraw all the troops. After Liu Rengong was promoted to become the governor of Lulong's army, he left the soldiers guarding Youzhou, and the brothers Gao Siji were led by Gao Siji's brothers. Therefore, he and his brothers were nominally affiliated with Hedong, but in fact they served in the Lulong's vassal state.

But it is precisely because Gao Siji and others had a slightly complicated background, mixed in Hedong, and Lu Long's two vassal states had the meaning of grandma not loving and uncle not loving. Because Gao's family had prestige in Yan land, they were mostly heroes from the northern region, and were deeply afraid of Liu Rengong, the governor; and Li Tianqu was also very clear that if Gao Siji's brothers still did not move their nests according to the original rules, they would sooner or later have conflicts over the Hedong army guarding Youzhou, which angered Li Keyong to think that although the Gao family heard from him in name, they had already become a stance to resist Hedong. In this way, "the power is influential, and it will be a problem for future generations, and they will be punished."...

Gao Sixiang and others, who were the same generation as Gao Siji, as well as his son Gao Xingzhou, even spanned the Later Liang, Later Tang, Later Jin, Later Han, Later Zhou were favored by many dynasties for their outstanding military achievements... His grandson Gao Huaide became a founding hero of the Song Dynasty... If he had the opportunity to recruit Gao Sijigui, Li Tianquxin said that he could have been said to have his own family system of famous generals, so how could he not be moved?

The key is, how should we ask Li Keyong for someone?
