Huaixi has already rained and the sky is clear, but Ziqing is already full of haze.

During the Yuanhe period, there were five of the strongest feudal towns, namely the three strong feudal towns of Hebei: Lulong, Weibo and Chengde, and the other two were Huaixi and Ziqing. After killing his father and brother, Lu Longjiedu made Mr. Liu fall into the abyss of fear from then on, and he no longer had the ambition to go toe-to-toe with Chang'an, which was equivalent to abandoning his martial arts, which was basically negligible; Wei Bojiedu made Tian Hongzheng loyal and righteous, and plunged into the arms of Chang'an, becoming a sharp weapon for Chang'an to deal with the secession of feudal towns; Now, Huaixi Jiedu has made Wu Yuanji kill again, and Huaixi has completely become the territory of Chang'an. Third, the feudal towns had to face a fact, a simple but somewhat cruel fact: the golden age of the Jiedu envoy to do whatever they wanted had passed, and as long as Li Chun lived, this good time that made them reluctant to give up will be gone forever. Now, what they want to do is to immediately show their loyalty to Chang'an, absolute loyalty. As a result, the Xuanwu Festival of Yang Fengyin and relying on the self-respect of thieves made Han Hong panic, and he had to give up the glory and wealth of Bianzhou, and obediently returned to Chang'an, where he had not returned for more than ten years and did not want to return at all; The mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and the envoy of Canghai Festival, who is empty-eyed, also panicked, and had to give up the power and interests of Cangzhou, and reluctantly came to Chang'an to meet Li Chun, the son of heaven; Lu Longjiedu, who was far away in Youzhou, also panicked Mr. Liu, who had a ghost in his heart, but he didn't want to invite the army of the imperial court to crusade, so he hurriedly sent a statement of praise to the minister; The treacherous and cunning Chengde Jiedu made Wang Chengzong panic, but for more than ten years, he had too many grievances and entanglements with Chang'an, and he did not dare to recklessly throw himself into the net. But sometimes, if you are in a hurry, you may not be able to get a good doctor, for Wang Chengzong, Tian Hongzheng is a good doctor, it is under Tian Hongzheng's careful mediation, Wang Chengzong sent his two sons, Wang Zhigan and Wang Zhixin, to Chang'an, of course, not to travel, but to be a hostage. Sent to Chang'an with his two sons, there are also maps of Dezhou and Dizhou.

Now, only the indecisive Ziqing Festival is left, so that Li Shidao is still wandering in the dark, still shivering in the cold wind.

Although Li Shidao's surname is Li, it is no different from the surname of the Tang Dynasty, but Li Shidao has nothing to do with the Tang royal family, and there is no relationship between a dime. Even, Li Shidao is not Han at all, but an authentic Goguryeo.

The remnant sun is like blood, and the Tang Dynasty is like a dream. In that dreamlike Tang Dynasty, there were nine powerful feudal towns in the world, two of which were made by An Lushan, and one was naturally An Lushan's old nest, Fanyang; The other is Pinglu.

When the Great Wall of the former empire was transformed into a chaotic minister and thief, Chang'an immediately appointed Lu Zhihui, the former deputy envoy of Pinglu Jiedu, as the new envoy of Jiedu, but Chang'an never expected that the new Pinglu Jiedu envoy would willingly bow down under An Lushan's pomegranate skirt and become An Lushan's accomplice and sworn friend. The problem is that Lu Zhihui likes to be a traitor and a second minister, but some of his subordinates are unwilling, not one or two, but many, many people. Among these people who don't like to be traitors and don't like to be retainers, there is a man named Liu Kenu, his way to resolve the contradiction is very simple, he raised the steel knife in his hand and cut off Lu Zhihui's head with a knife.

After solving Lu Zhihui, Liu Kenu made a bold decision: to run a long distance and raid the rebels' lair, Fan Yang. Originally, this should have been a risky but smart decision, because, at this time, An Lushan's main force was fighting everywhere, and Fan Yang's troops were empty, and it was entirely possible to attack and take it. And once the raid is successful, it will inevitably greatly dampen the fighting spirit of the rebels, perhaps, An Lushan will be captured just around the corner, at least, it will not be delayed for too long. Unfortunately, he overlooked something, and it was precisely these things that he had overlooked that determined that this would be a futile raid.

To put it simply, there are at least three factors that Liu Kenu did not expect at all: First, Liu Kenu's qualifications are not enough, and his prestige is not enough, so he cannot really master this army at all. Second, the Pinglu Army is very unified, you want to defect to Chang'an, but I want to defect to An Lushan, it is difficult to form a strong combat effectiveness. Third, although Fan Yang is relatively empty, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, especially the guard who guarded Fan Yang at that time, who was An Lushan's most powerful henchman, Shi Siming. Before Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi and others stood up, the first general in the Tang Dynasty naturally belonged to An Lushan, and the second place could only be An Lushan's good brother, Shi Siming.

At the critical moment of the confrontation between the two armies, a pot of medicinal wine cost Liu Kenu's life. The person who started it, named Wang Xuanzhi, was from Goguryeo.

In the face of the tide of rebels, the Pinglu army, which had no fighting spirit, collapsed at the touch of a button and fled in all directions. Soon, the Pinglu Army, one of the nine elites of the empire, fell apart and split into three. Some of them soon joined the rebels and became enemies of the empire as they wished; The other part was exiled to Huaixi under the leadership of the young hero Dong Qin, and the Son of Heaven gave Dong Qin a new name, Li Zhongchen, and made him the envoy of Huaixi. In the third part, he came to Qingzhou and Yunzhou, and the leader was also a Goguryeo named Hou Xiyi.

The reason why Hou Xiyi was able to sit in the position of the envoy of Pinglu Jiedu was because of the help of one person, this person was none other than his cousin, Li Huaiyu. He killed Liu Kenu, and Wang Xuanzhi once mastered this army, but unfortunately, the good times did not last long, and soon, he died in the chaos. At this time, on Huangquan Road, Liu Kenu should not have gone far, I don't know if he will feel embarrassed when he sees Liu Kenu in the underworld? Soon, though, anger and sorrow will fill his chest, because, here, he will see his son, his son in his prime. The person who sent Wang Zhixuan's son to the underworld and reunited with Wang Zhixuan's father and son was Li Huaiyu.

Wang Xuanzhi died, Wang Xuanzhi's son also died, and the power of the Pinglu Army fell into the hands of Hou Xiyi. Picking up a gold ingot for no reason, Hou Xiyi was naturally grateful to this cousin who made great contributions, but unfortunately, this gratitude did not last long, because he found that his cousin, Li Huaiyu's prestige in the army far exceeded his own, which was not a good sign. Hou Xiyi vaguely felt a trace of unease. Even more unfortunate, a rumor began to spread among the Pinglu army that Li Huaiyu, his cousin, would succeed him as the new envoy of the Ziqing Jiedu (平禄节度使).

Hou Xiyi panicked, Hou Xiyi was angry. Panicked and angry, Hou Xiyi took decisive action and threw Li Huaiyu, the person who threatened his position, into the dungeon.
