Chapter 127 Why Li Cunxiao Betrayed
[Why did Li Cunxiao betray? 】

[Most records in the history books of later generations attribute Li Cunxiao's rebellion to the following reasons: discord with his colleagues, and dissatisfaction with the unfair reward of his adoptive father. 】

[However, there is actually another obvious reason, that is, for Li Cunxiao, does Hedong have a future at that time? 】

[History will not repeat itself. For Li Cunxiao’s rebellion, at first glance, the reasons stated in the history books are justified. After all, Li Cunxiao made the most contribution in defeating the Zhaoyi Army, but Tao Zi was divided up by seniority. But he was handed over to Kang Junli, the veteran of the Hedong Army, by his adoptive father. 】

[This result was too unfair to Li Cunxiao, so he, who was dazzled by power, had a different heart and finally embarked on the road of rebellion. 】

"So that's the case, let me just say, why did Li Cunxiao betray his adoptive father."

"During the war, I suffered the most and made the most credit. When it was time to reward the merits, but others took the credit, who would be the one who would not be angry?"

Some people understand Li Cunxiao very well.

Charging into battle is the first priority, killing the enemy on the battlefield is the first priority, and shedding blood and sweat is the first priority.

Why is it not the first place when it comes to rewarding meritorious deeds?

How sad is this?

Is there any reason for rewarding meritorious deeds in this way?Is there still Wang Fa?

If it were them, they would rebel.

[The reason for Li Cunxiao’s betrayal is not the point. Li Cunxiao probably doesn’t care who is the Jiedushi of the Zhaoyi Army, because in his opinion, whether Hedong can be kept or not is probably just a matter of time. 】

[At this time, the situation in Hedong is indeed not very good. The Tang court is calling for Fangzhen Jiedu envoys to encircle and suppress Hedong. 】

[At that time, Li Kuangwei of Youzhou, Helianduo of Yunzhou and Bian Shuai conspired to invite troops to Taiyuan, and the prime ministers Zhang Jun and Kong Wei agreed. 】

[In June, the Son of Heaven seized the official title of the Emperor Wu. He used Zhang Jun as his envoy, Jingzhao Yin Sun Kui as his deputy, Han Jian of Huazhou as the marquis of Yu, the capital of the camp, and Bian Shuai as his envoy to the southeast of the river, Youzhou Li Kuangwei was recruiting envoys in the northeast of Hebei Province, and Helian Duo in Yunzhou was his deputy.Bian general Zhu Youyu stationed troops in Jin and Jiang. At that time, Bian's army had already occupied Luzhou, and he sent general Li Yun and others led an army of tens of thousands to attack Zezhou. 】

[The royal army in the west is marching, the coalition forces of Li Kuangwei in Youzhou and Helianduo in Yunzhou are attacking in the north, Wang Rong in Zhenzhou in the east has gathered heavy troops to suppress the border, and Zhu Wen in Bianzhou in the south has also sent vanguard troops one after another to reach the Zhaoyi Army . 】

[Several towns sent troops to attack Li Keyong's troops. This formation was all too familiar to Li Cunxiao and other old men from the Hedong Army. 】

[The situation back then was not the same as it is now? 】

[During the Qianfu period, the imperial court encircled and suppressed Li Guochang and Li Keyong's father and son rebellion. At that time, the imperial court also used the power of most of the northern vassals and towns, and finally defeated Li Guochang and his son, forcing Li Keyong and others to live outside the Great Wall for several years. 】

[Now, will history repeat itself?At the beginning, it was because of Huang Chao's chaos that the imperial court gave Li Keyong a chance. If he was defeated this time, he might never have a chance to turn around. 】

[Li Cunxiao is facing a difficult choice at this time, either to follow the definition of the father, go the same way, or change the family in time, and jump to a safe place before the big ship on the east side sinks. 】

【How to choose?Perhaps in Li Cunxiao's eyes, it was not difficult, because the Tang court was not weak at that time. 】

[The imperial court in the late Tang Dynasty was not completely disabled. 】

[Judging from the battle situation at that time, the court of Tang Dynasty was not like what it was later, and any younger brother would dare to pinch this elder brother. 】

[The imperial court is still the nominal boss of all the feudal towns, and everyone still listens to this elder brother. With a single order, all the feudal towns on all sides of the Hedong Army are assembled and ready to go out. The glory and majesty accumulated for hundreds of years in the Tang Dynasty are still there. 】

[On the other hand, Li Cunxiao is very uncomfortable in Hedong. He has abilities, but his adoptive father doesn’t pay much attention to them. He doesn’t get along well with other colleagues, such as Li Cunxin and others. The possibilities are gradually increasing. 】

[The so-called good bird chooses a tree to live in. After all, such a decision has become a very realistic choice in front of Li Cunxiao. 】

[Li Cunxiao finally made up his mind and threw himself into the arms of the Tang court, and flirted with Zhu Wen, the Jiedu envoy of the Xuanwu Army in the south, and Wang Rong, the Jiedu envoy of Zhenzhou in the north, and exchanged secret songs. 】

[Actually, at that time, Li Cunxiao’s rebellion, except for Li Keyong, was considered by everyone to be an act of abandoning the dark and turning to the bright. 】

[After all, the imperial court is the real big brother. 】

[Choosing the imperial court is indeed a very wise choice on the surface. 】

[However, the reality still slapped me hard. 】

[Li Keyong knew that Li Cunxiao betrayed him, he was very angry, and the consequences were serious. 】

[Li Cunxiao's rebellion made Jin Wang Li Keyong, who had just led his army to defeat Li Kuangwei in Youzhou, suddenly exploded in anger. 】

【Li Ke thought to himself, anyone can betray me, but you, Li Cunxiao, can't. 】

[We are father and son, father and son soldiers, you bastard, you don't even care about the relationship between father and son! 】

[Li Ke was so angry with that, so he immediately transferred his troops to the south to beat up Wang Rong in Zhenzhou. If he can't beat you to death, you badass, let you teach my son Li Cunxiao not to learn well. 】

[Facing the crazy Li Keyong, Zhenzhou was not very afraid at first. After all, he is also a member of the three old Heshuo towns. 】

[Therefore, it was not until the Shatuo Army chopped off more than ten thousand heads that Zhenzhou Jiedushi Wang Rong was finally afraid. 】

[Li Keyong, I knew you were powerful before, but I didn't expect to be so powerful, I am convinced! 】

[The surrender of Zhenzhou made Li Cunxiao, the governor of Xingzhou in Xingzhou, suddenly embarrassed. The imperial court, Youzhou, and Zhenzhou were successively defeated by the Hedong Army. Spectrum. 】

[Now, the foster father's next target is himself. He thought he had finally jumped ashore from the dangerous ship, but only now did he realize that everything was an illusion, and he turned into a frog that jumped into the warm water. 】

[Li Cunxiao's feelings at this moment are very complicated. He suddenly felt that he really did something wrong. Why did he betray his adoptive father back then?However, there is no one in the world who sells regret medicine. 】

[In March of the first year of Qianning, Li Cunxiao, who was heavily besieged by the Hedong Army, was in despair. He couldn't wait for reinforcements from the court, and he couldn't wait for news from Bianliang, so he had to surrender in Kaesong. Li Cunxiao pinned his last hope on his foster father His licking love is deep. 】

[Li Keyong really wanted to give Li Cunxiao a chance at the beginning, after all, Li Keyong liked Li Cunxiao very much. 】

【Able to fight again, broaden your horizons. 】

[Although I made a mistake once, it can still be forgiven. 】

[However, Li Cunxiao is especially favored by Li Keyong, so he will be jealous. 】

[Among them, Li Cunxin, the fourth son of Li Keyong, performed most strongly. 】

[Li Cunxin is also the adopted son of Li Keyong, and he was also favored by Li Keyong before. 】

[However, with the arrival of Li Cunxiao, Li Cunxin, who was favored before, found himself out of favor. 】

[In terms of ability, he is obviously not Li Cunxiao's opponent. 】

【He wanted to return to his own position, and this desire gradually became stronger. He knew that although Li Cunxiao was brave and invincible, he had no plans. 】

【Thus, he gradually came up with a poisonous plan. 】

[Li Cunxin went to Li Cunxiao's tent before, and told Li Cunxiao that he was just Li Keyong's adopted son, why bother to work so hard for Li Keyong. 】

[Moreover, although Li Keyong is his father in name, he is actually just his adoptive father. In fact, Li Keyong has always been wary of Li Cunxiao in his heart. When Li Cunxiao is useless, Li Keyong will immediately kill Li Cunxiao. 】

[He is also Li Keyong's adoptive son, and he is very clear about this. He told Li Cunxiao that a real man should start a career, and he should resume his real name "Quiet Si". , Li Cunxin, as Li Cunxiao's fourth brother, if Li Cunxiao raises an issue, he will definitely act as an internal response to help Li Cunxiao succeed. After coaxing and defrauding Li Cunxiao, Li Cunxin went to Li Keyong to file a complaint, saying that Li Cunxiao had rebelled a long time ago. Let the adoptive father be on guard. 】

[Li Cunxin wrote some correspondence with Zhu Quanzhong privately in Li Cunxiao's tone, and used this as evidence, as the basis for Li Cunxiao's rebellion. 】

[Using his own power to cut off Li Cunxiao's food and grass, Li Cunxiao thought that Li Keyong did not trust him. Because of his youth and ignorance, he remembered what his fourth brother had said to him, so he resumed his real name "Quiet Si" and sent troops to rebel. 】

【However, Li Cunxiao never imagined that his fourth brother Li Cunxin was the first to suppress him. 】

【Li Cunxiao didn’t know until now that it was Li Cunxin who had been doing bad things behind the scenes, which hurt him. He cried and begged Li Keyong for forgiveness. However, due to the presence of personal and material evidence, he could not deny the letters he had with Zhu Quanzhong. After all, treason is the greatest crime. Li Keyong couldn't bear it, but he couldn't. He could only sentence Li Cunxiao to five horses. 】

"What! The punishment of quartering the body by five horses!"

"Li Cunxiao died so tragically?"

"Don't! I hope he lives!"

"Li Cunxiao was tricked by someone, plus he was insane for a while, although Li Keyong couldn't bear to kill him, there was nothing he could do about it."

"This Li Cunxin is really a bitch!"

"It can't be helped. No matter where you are, fighting openly and secretly is always very common. Li Cunxin is only doing it for his own benefit. If you want to blame him, you can only blame Li Cunxiao for being too naive and falling for Li Cunxin's tricks."

Seeing that Li Cunxin was going to be quartered by five horses, the people watching the projection couldn't bear it.

Without him.

They wished for a happy ending for this valiant warrior.

They have seen enough of the general's sad ending.

Is it so difficult for generals to have a perfect ending?
