He Gui hated Xie Yanzhang, and deeply hated that he would one day become a roadblock in his career. After all, the vassal states under the Wei Dynasty were all abolished, and towns such as Zhongwu, Tianping, and Taining... have been abolished and directly classified as the imperial court. The quota was very limited. He Gui asked about his qualifications until now, and had no contributions and worked hard. As a result, a young man was particularly appreciated by the governor and trained him as his heir... He Gui was naturally jealous and was about to go crazy.

However, with Ge Congzhou, the great god in charge of Yangwu Army, at least He Gui has the intention of being a thief and does not have the courage to put the idea of ​​murdering Xie Yanzhang into practice.

After all, Ge Congzhou, Wang Yanzhang, Fu Cunshen and the three most respected generals of the Wei Emperor, and formed a pattern of three giants in the Wei Dynasty army.

He Gui knew that he was still working under the tent of the Zhu brothers of the Tianping Army, but he ran to Ge Congzhou alone and shouted not to kill me. I was willing to surrender... He obeyed the orders in front of the Jiedu tent as a surrender general. No one could be dissatisfied, but He Gui was also very afraid of Ge Congzhou. Of course, he dared not hurt his adopted son at all. He also had to show a smile on his face and be close to him in public.

But if Xie Yanzhang did not rely on Ge Congzhou in the future... He Guixin said that even if he lied to the court, he would have to get rid of that obstacle.

However, Li Tianqu, who was in charge of state affairs in the Bianjing Imperial City and was waiting for the northern war report, was certainly very clear that Xie Yanzhang, a general star who should have risen in the Five Dynasties, died young and young for his assassination and ambushing the comrades... The murderer who killed him was He Gui.

When Xie Yanzhang was sent to recognize Ge Congzhou as the elder, he received the guidance of the top famous general to improve his ability to use troops. After realizing it, Li Tianqu thought of He Gui's existence in Yangwu Army and realized:

If Xie Yanzhang is handed over to Ge Congzhou to train him, he will definitely be cultivated to become the next generation of famous generals in our dynasty army... But after all, He Gui is also in Yangwu Army, so didn’t he let the two enemies who were destined to get together?

After all, no one is perfect. Li Tianqu knows that the generals under his command have different personalities. When their desires are not satisfied or they think they are hindered, such as Liu Zhijun, they will choose to betray and run away; as for He Gui, they will use any means to get rid of competitors that are hindering his career.

According to the official history, three years after Ge Congzhou passed away from illness, when He Gui and Xie Yanzhang joined forces to resist the Jin army, he set up an ambush at the banquet to kill Xie Yanzhang in the name of reward, and also falsely accused the other party of intending to rebel. After hearing the news that the Liang army commanded the soldiers and generals were killed, Li Cunxu was happy and said, "The general will die for no more than a day." A year after He Gui killed Xie Yanzhang, he died of illness, which caused the Liang Dynasty to lose two generals who had the ability to command the army for no reason.

So Li Tianqu was basically sure that as long as Ge Congzhou was still alive, even if He Gui had become murderous about Xie Yanzhang now, he would not dare to take action. However, as the jealousy and hatred accumulates in his heart, one day it will definitely explode completely.

Li Tianqu also thought about transferring He Gui from Yangwu Army so that he would not intend to murder his colleagues if he was in a competitive relationship with Xie Yanzhang. But then he thought about it again, since He Gui's character was jealous of his fellow comrades, he would not hesitate to frame the rising star in the army because he was jealous of his fellow comrades. If he transferred him elsewhere, if he still wanted to do similar evil deeds, it would be even more unpredictable.

In other words, since the life paths of people are very different from their original trajectory today, He Gui is somewhat likely to not have to use deceitful means to murder Xie Yanzhang. Gu Nian is indeed a hero who assisted him in the battle. Although Li Tianqu could not have issued an order to kill He Gui, who has not yet planned to harm his colleagues based on his actions according to historical records.

But you must always prepare for the future and prevent problems before they happen. Li Tianqu thought of taking the other hand. As long as you don’t put your plan to murder your colleagues into action, you will still be a noble general and honorable minister in the Wei Dynasty. However, if you really want to accuse and kill your comrades, you will never succeed.

Just like Liu Zhijun, who defected and left before, no matter how many contributions you have made in the past, once you do some things, as long as I capture them, you will never be spared.

Therefore, while issuing an order to transfer Xie Yanzhang to the Yangwu Army's vassal state, Li Tianqu has made a secret arrangement to ensure that once He Gui is preparing to commit evil deeds to murder Pao, the incident will be exposed immediately and will only seek death.

When Ge Congzhou commanded the Yangwu Zhenya Army invaded Danchuan, Zezhou and killed the Ya general Pei Yue, the war report was passed to Bianjing. Li Tianqu thought for a moment, and suddenly said in a deep voice:

"I think Li Cunxu will definitely not give up..."

First, the other party instigated Liu Zhijun to betrayal, but now he lost the Zhaoyi army's vassal states, and they had already fought each other... The original strategic alliance has now completely broken up. Li Tianqu knew very well that Li Cunxu was going to be emperor now because he had to compete with the Wei Dynasty in terms of momentum.

But shortly after he became emperor, a military governor rebelled and lost a place of several states... The monarchs of other vassal states were closely watching the current situation of the two major powers of the Wei Dynasty and the Later Tang Dynasty. Even if Li Cunxu was willing to swallow this, this meant that he admitted the fact that the so-called Later Tang Empire was annexed by the Wei Dynasty from the beginning of its establishment and was still unable to resist.

Therefore, according to Li Tianqu's estimate, even though the Later Tang Dynasty has not been very long for the annexation of the entire territory of Zhao, it is obvious that the time to launch a war against the Wei Dynasty is not ripe... But even if he is tough, Li Cunxu must take a tough attitude and fight back fiercely to the Wei Dynasty.

However, Li Jitao, who betrayed the Li family in Hedong, joined forces with the Wei Dynasty's army to help the aid, and was waiting for it. If the Later Tang Dynasty intends to forcibly regain its original territory, it will inevitably pay an extremely heavy price and may be futile... At least Li Cunxu's strategic mind in using troops has always been very clear, so how will he effectively fight back against the Wei Dynasty?

After another ten days, Li Tianqu already knew the answer. Located under the Yangwu Army's vassal states, and the Mingzhou area led by Huo Yanwei and Chunyu Yan, emergency military information spread to Bianjing:

Zhou Dewei, the chief officer of the Later Tang Dynasty, led his troops to invade Yangwu Army with a large number of 70,000 troops; Li Sien, the governor of Daizhou and the commander of the military commander of the land north of Shiling Pass, and also joined forces with the Zhao general Fu Xi, who was appointed as the southeast recruitment envoy from the Later Tang Dynasty, set off from Zhaozhou and led his army south. While Ge Congzhou was not yet returning, he attacked Xingzhou, the neighboring Yangwu Army's vassal capital.

Huo Yanwei, who was guarding Mingzhou, was attacked by the famous Hedong general Zhou Dewei, and he would have to bear great pressure. Even if he noticed the enemy's movements in advance, he immediately sent a quick horse to convey his voice. However, the scout who reported the military information would have to delay a while in the end.

So when Li Tianqu learned that the Later Tang finally responded, he estimated that Zhou Dewei had taken advantage of the empty Yangwu army's garrison, and must have cleared the towns and yards outside the Mingzhou government, and had concentrated their troops to launch a fierce attack on the capital Guangzhou...

This is Li Cunxu’s response. The Wei Dynasty took my Zhaoyi Army and I will send troops to attack your Yangwu Army!

The Later Tang Dynasty obviously learned that the Wei Dynasty used Ge Congzhou, the governor of Yangwu Army, to command the main force of the Ya army of his subordinates to enter the war to attack Zezhou. Previously, because King Zhao Wang Rong claimed to be a minister to the Wei Dynasty, he had to send troops to attack, and the Yangwu Army's vassal states directly posed a threat. In the end, there was still a force between them. Once all Hedong sides moved, the Wei Dynasty could also respond in a timely manner.

However, Jin has now annexed the entire territory of Zhao and changed the country to claim to be the emperor and claimed to inherit the Tang Dynasty's destiny. Now Zhaozhou, under the jurisdiction of the German army, is also bordering Xingzhou, the vassal capital of the Yangwu Army, so it can also achieve the effect of sending troops to carry out a surprise attack.

Li Tianquxin said that he was in charge of state affairs in Bianjing, and he could not personally lead the imperial army personally to preside over every war. The Yangwu army suddenly suffered an attack from the Later Tang army, so naturally, Ge Congzhou Quanquan commanded the Ya army in the office to deal with it.

However, the Later Tang Dynasty also dispatched the figure of Zhou Dewei. He and Ge Congzhou and others can definitely be called the top famous generals in the early Five Dynasties of the Official History...
