Chapter 25: Mountains and Rivers Rekindle Old Smoke and Dust V

Every day, the mountains and rivers are frequent, and the mountains and rivers regain the old smoke and dust. Finally, Chang'an ushered in the day of fighting with Chengde. Li Chun has been looking forward to this day for too long, too long.

However, to Li Chun's surprise, the battle situation was not smooth at all, and it was vaguely a repetition of the past when Tang Dezong and Hebei fought more than 20 years ago.

Li Chun would never have thought that when he insisted on appointing Tutu Chengguang as the commander-in-chief, the outcome of this war would have been doomed. The young son of heaven who is strong in blood and strength tries to prove his ability by conquering Hebei. Because, only by pacifying the imperial industry of Hebei can it overpower the phase industry of Pingshu and Wu. And Tutu Chengxuan, in Li Chun's subconscious, is actually just his own stand-in. If, Tutu Chengxuan, his stand-in, can sweep Hebei, it will be a victory that makes Li Chun raise his eyebrows. But Li Chun didn't know that when he handed over this important task to a eunuch, he had already lost the support of his courtiers. In fact, they were waiting to see the joke of Tutu Chengguang. Therefore, when Tutu Chengxuan led tens of thousands of Pixiu soldiers to Hebei, he could not get any support from the ministers of the DPRK and China, nor could he get the support of the generals in commanding the army. In addition to the Zuo Shen Ce army under his own command, Tutu Chengguang has become a real loner. What's more, there is also a secret communication with Wang Chengzong, and Lu Congshi has ill intentions!

If others can't count on it, then you can only rely on your own people. In order to earn back some face for his master, he led his troops to advance lightly, but he was ambushed by Wang Chengzong and spilled blood on the battlefield. Xiao will die, the three armies will be angry, everyone is wait-and-see, lingering, morale is low, like a continuous autumn rain.

In Chang'an, some people have already begun to discuss the crime of Tutu Chengxuan's long-term unsuccessful war, and at this time, the war has only been going on for two months.

Before the frustrated Son of Heaven could react to the battle situation, an even more depressing news came from Huaixi: Huaixi Jiedu had killed Wu Shaocheng! Wu Shaoyang, his sworn brother, took the opportunity to seize power and left himself behind. The war in Hebei fell into a stalemate, and Chang'an had no time to take care of Huaixi, so it had to push the boat down the river and recognize Wu Shaoyang's legal status.

Li Chun, who was dictatorial and dictatorial, missed an excellent opportunity to recover Huaixi, and the young son of heaven paid the price for his youth.

The Zhaoyi Festival made Lu Congshi very proud. In this contest between Chang'an and Chengde, he was left and right and reaped enough benefits. But the complacent Lu Congshi didn't know that Chang'an had a pair of eyes staring at him tightly. The owner of these eyes is Prime Minister Pei Yan. In fact, Pei Yan had been paying attention to Lu Congshi for a long time, and he was sure that this was a treacherous villain at both ends of the rat. However, Lu Cong's performance of jumping up and down in history deceived the saint, and if Pei Yan had no evidence, he would not be able to defeat Lu Congshi, who was in the midst of the saint's family. Therefore, he had to wait, wait for an opportunity, a chance to kill with one blow.

The opportunity finally came, and ironically, this opportunity was given by Lu Congshi's friendship. To be precise, Lu Congshi sent a person, one of his tooth generals, and the name of this tooth general is Wang Yiyuan. After careful observation and temptation, Pei Yan was convinced that this was a loyal man, and from this man, he would be able to get what he wanted. As expected, Pei Yan's generous remarks about the righteousness of the monarch and the ministers moved Wang Yiyuan, and Lu Congshi's conspiracy was revealed.

Hearing Lu Congshi's conspiracy with his own ears, Li Chun suddenly had a feeling of being deceived. The long-term frustration and depression turned into anger in an instant, and at this moment, Lu Congshi had something to do, and he had a big deal.

The complacent Lu Congshi didn't know that all his conspiracies had already been exposed in broad daylight, and he was still intoxicated with the joy of succeeding in his treacherous scheme. Therefore, when Tutu Chengguang feasted him again, he did not realize that this was a conspiracy at all, and he was overjoyed to fantasize about getting everything he wanted from Tutu Chengguang as usual. Of course, he didn't know that this conspiracy had already begun when Tutu Chengguang feasted him for the first time and gave him a large number of treasures. The ignorant Lu Congshi became a prisoner of Tutu Chengguang and was pressed into the prisoner car to Chang'an.

In Chang'an, the panicked Lu Congshi was demoted to Huanzhou Sima, and he breathed a long sigh of relief, thinking that his old life had finally been saved. As everyone knows, Li Chun played a game of cat and mouse this time, and before Lu Congshi reached his destination, Chang'an had already sent someone to catch up with him. Then, a bowstring ended his life.

Lu Congshi's experience tells us that there is really a pie falling from the sky, and when it happens to hit you, you must be careful, be careful of being stoned to death by the pie.

Lu Congshi died, and Wang Chengzong lost strong internal support, so he handed in a timely petition for guilt. The dead Lu Congshi helped Wang Chengzong again, but this time, he did not charge any benefit fees, so he willingly became Wang Chengzong's lamb and scapegoat. Wang Chengzong's face did not change, and his heart did not beat to put all the previous sins on this former ally, saying some mistaken beliefs and greedy words, and now he has come to his senses, begging for self-reform and other nonsense, and Li Shidao also took the opportunity to intercede for Wang Chengzong.

Because the division was ineffective for a long time, Li Chun had to get off the donkey and quit the army for a truce. Li Chun, our Tang Dynasty Emperor Li Chun, had no choice but to issue an edict announcing that he recognized Wang Chengzong as the envoy of the Chengde Festival and returned the two states of De and Di to him.
