In March of the first year of Qianning, a haggard Li Cunxiao looked at the deep trenches and trenches outside Xingzhou City, as well as the heavily surrounded Hedong military camp, and his mentality finally collapsed, and he knew that he had completely planted this time.
But Li Cunxiao still has a glimmer of hope at this time, that is, as a general in the world, he is still very useful in today's chaotic world, after all, he has made so many hard contributions to his righteous father, and his righteous father may not give himself a chance to wear a crime and make meritorious contributions.
Therefore, Li Cunxiao stood at the head of the city and cried at Li Ke, the king of Jin, hoping to see the other side and pour out his grievances, even if he let himself die immediately.
For this performance of Li Cunxiao, Li Keyong finally agreed, in order to express his sincerity of surrendering again, he also sent his righteous mother Liu Shi, who had been close to Li Cunxiao, to enter the city to pacify, so that Li Cunxiao had more confidence in surrender.
It seems that the righteous father is still optimistic about me.
However, just after Li Cunxiao was captured and taken back to the Hedong Army camp, Li Keyong turned his face and did not recognize anyone, and after scolding Li Cunxiao for a while, he took him back to Jinyang City, and in front of all the military generals, he split the former beloved son and love general in the city.
Li Cunxiao's death caused a sharp loss of a strong general in the Hedong army, and when Liang and Jin were fighting for hegemony, the practice of self-inflicted arm damage also made Li Keyong gradually fall behind in the later battles against Zhu Wen...
So why did Li Ke insist on killing Li Cunxiao?
01 Superficial statement
In the new and old "Five Dynasties History", there is such a widely circulated saying, that is, Li Keyong originally did not want to kill Li Cunxiao, but Li Cunxiao committed a major crime of rebellion, and even if he loved Cai, he had to make a show.
Therefore, Li Ke used the false intention to kill Li Cunxiao, but actually wanted the generals to come and intercede, and then he pushed the boat along the water and spared Li Cunxiao.
However, what Li Ke did not expect was that Li Cunxiao's popularity was almost worse than the sky, and after his side pronounced the decision to execute, there was a quiet piece below, not even a cough.
In the end, Li Ke, who could not pull down his face and had a good face, executed Li Cunxiao with the final pain.
In order to support this statement, a story was added to the subsequent history books:
Li Keyong later mentioned the matter of Li Cunxiao when he was drinking with the generals, and he was heartbroken, and as a result, Kang Junli did not have long eyes and said two sentences, meaning that there was no need to be so sad, and as a result, he was poisoned by Li Keyong.
So, did Li Keyong really not want to execute Li Cunxiao in the first place?
History books, sometimes when we read, we have to eliminate the author's free play that paragraph. If we look closely, it is not difficult to see that Li Keyong really wants to kill Li Cunxiao.
02 There are many reasons to kill him
The most prominent reason for Li Ke's killing of Li Cunxiao was that he had betrayed himself and thrown himself into the imperial court, which he could not bear.
From beginning to end, everyone has seen the Liang and Jin struggle for hegemony, in fact, the original essence of the Liang and Jin hegemony was the wrist break used by the imperial court and Li Ke. The supporter behind Zhu Wen was the imperial court, Tang Zhaozong.
Under the large-scale attack of the imperial court, the Hedong army was initially very embarrassed, with the strong attacks of Li Converse and Helian Duo and others in the north, Zhu Wen and Wang Rong's attacks in the south, and the western imperial court also entangled a group of Guannei younger brothers and prepared to swallow Li Keyong in one bite.
Therefore, Li Cunxiao's rebellion is not only that he is unhappy with himself in the Hedong Army, but also a kind of speculation, and the quality of this person is indeed not bad, seeing that Li Ke is going to die, he is like a wall grass, turning against him.
After all, Li Cunxiao had experienced the sad years when Sha Tuojun was driven to eat soil outside the Tang Dynasty, and he didn't want to do it again.
Therefore, for Li Cunxiao's head grass, Li Keyong did not think of leaving him at all.
Secondly, in the Hedong Army, Li Cunxiao's role was not very great
What we often say will not be Li, but the artistic image that is finally blown out by folk interpretation, the real Li Cunxiao, in fact, is not so godly in the history books.
In the Hedong Army, others do not say, at least one person can be equal to him, that is, the vilified Li Cunxin, which is clearly recorded in the history books:
When there is filial piety and courage, all the soldiers are subordinate, but the faith and the struggle for merit are evil, and there is the same water and fire.
Can someone who can openly compete with Li Cunxiao for merit, and Whoever Li Keyong trusts him more and entrusts him with heavy responsibilities, can he be worse than Li Cunxiao's martial arts?
Not to mention Li Siyuan, Li Cunzhen, and Li Sizhao.
The Hedong army lacked Li Cunxiao, to tell the truth, the sky could not collapse, if it were not for Li Ke's later micro-fucking too garbage, and trusted the white-eyed wolf Liu Rengong, otherwise, he would not have lost so badly.
Therefore, Li Ke used to kill Li Cunxiao at that time, in fact, there was no psychological pressure.
Finally, Li Ke's argument of testing the generals is not reliable
Saying that Li Ke wants to find a step not to kill Li Cunxiao is simply challenging people's intelligence, such a big thing, if you really want to keep Li Cunxiao.
At least one or two trusts should be found, like Zhou Dewei and Xue Zhiqin veterans, I really can't say it, at least I can say hello to the military master Gai Yu.
There will always be someone to cooperate with you in acting, in the adult world, where there are such simple rules of the game and false mistakes that can no longer be fake.
From the back of the car split, it can be seen that Li Keyong really hates Li Cunxiao, and he didn't have the heart to let him live!
To sum up, the reason why Li Keyong killed Li Cunxiao was because li Keyong, who betrayed him and did not lack people, pronounced Li Cunxiao's death sentence without even blinking an eye.
A generation of fierce generals, eventually fell, leaving the world with a pile of dog blood in addition to sighing.
