Chapter 23??

Luo Wenhua took out something from his arms, which made Pei Changhao's eyes widen in an instant.

That's a map.

Maps from ancient times were very rare and could not be bought with money.

Walking to the front of a stone, Luo Culture spread the map.

"Brother Pei, the map was left by Brother Yi, I thought it would be useless."

This is a map of the Central Plains. To be precise, it is a map covering Guannei Road, Longyou Road, Hedong Road, Hebei Road and Henan Road. The map is not very clear, and you can clearly see the hand-painted traces and supplementary traces. Most of the marked on the map are the main cities in these places, and there are also the situation of garrisons in the city.

Pei Changhao's mind was already running at high speed. He stared at the map and began to memorize silently.

"My righteous brother was plotted against, so I left this map. The court was declining and the rise of powerful people from all over the country. My righteous brother often sighed, but he was powerless. He had long thought of retiring to the countryside. He was forced to do so and could not retiring to retire. He died in a bad life..."

"My righteous brother died of a bad life and made wedding clothes for others. I once thought that I would give up my life to avenge my righteous brother..."

"Before the accident, my brother-in-law knew that the disaster was coming and repeatedly warned me not to seek revenge, but I was unwilling to give up..."

Looking at Luo Wenhua with a bleak expression, Pei Changhao did not speak.

After sighing again, Luo Wenhua pointed his fingers at Henan Road and Hedong Road.

"Last year, the governor of the Jiedushi Zhu Mei, supported King Xiang Li Ying as the emperor, and the governor of Hezhong Wang Chongrong, also expressed his surrender to Li Ying. His brother advised Wang Chongrong to support the court with all his might and not sell himself for glory. At that time, the brother of righteous thought that Wang Chongrong was an important official in the revitalization of the Tang Dynasty court, and devoted himself to Wang Chongrong's life..."

"It's a pity that Brother Yi never expected that Wang Chongrong did a rebellious act. Not only did he not listen to Brother Yi's advice, he tied Brother Yi to the lobby, took off his clothes, beat him up, and wanted to humiliate him. He also asked other generals to come and watch..."

"The court attacked Zhu Mei, and Zhu Mei was killed by his generals. Wang Chongrong saw the opportunity and killed King Xiang Li Ying who came to join, so as to seek credit from the court. Unexpectedly, the emperor and the court did not want to kill King Xiang Li Ying, but just demoted him to a commoner. Seeing that the situation was not good, Wang Chongrong actually pushed the crime of beheading King Xiang Li Ying to his righteous brother, preparing to capture Brother Xiang and send him to the capital..."

"The righteous brother could not bear it anymore, so he finally raised an army and killed Wang Chongrong, and reported all matters to the emperor and the court, waiting for the emperor and the court to deal with it..."

"The righteous brother still trusts the emperor and the court too much. He never expected that the emperor and the court appointed Wang Chongrong's younger brother Wang Chongying as the governor of the country and went to the Hezhong area..."

"I advised Brother Yi. Wang Chongying came to the river and would definitely avenge Wang Chongrong. Brother Yi was unmoved and just asked me to leave the army and find a place to hide..."

"Wang Chongying came to the river, the first thing he did was to capture his righteous brother and kill him. His righteous brother's family members were all killed..."

"Wang Chongrong is cruel and uses it harshly. He often insults and punishes the generals for no reason. He has caused resentment in the army. Even if his righteous brother doesn't take action, others will stand up to resist. The court knows about this matter, and Wang Chongying knows..."

Speaking of this, Luo Wenhua closed his eyes.

The surroundings were extremely quiet, and only the sound of the spring water flowing was heard.

"Brother Luo, as a general of the teeth, your righteous brother killed Wang Chongrong. Do you think that he is a traitor and deserves his crime?"

Pei Changhao shook his head slightly, and there had been a storm in his heart.

Pei Che was beheaded by Wang Chongrong, and Luo Wen's righteous brother killed Wang Chongrong, which was also considered avenging Pei Che.

Wang Chongrong, the governor of the Hezhong Jiezhong, is not a good thing.

Emperor Xizong of Tang was forced to evacuate Chang'an City for the second time and go to Fengxiang and Sichuan to take refuge. The mastermind was Wang Chongrong.

There are two salt ponds in Jie County, in Anyi, Hezhong County, all controlled by Wang Chongrong, the governor of Hezhong. After Huang Chao's rebellion was completely suppressed, the court decided to form a powerful central imperial guard. Because he had no money, Tian Lingzi stared at these two salt ponds and asked Wang Chongrong to hand over it. Wang Chongrong naturally refused.

As a result, the conflict between the court and Wang Chongrong became increasingly clear, and the court finally issued an order to make Wang Chongrong serve as the governor of Gunhai.

In order to preserve the position of the governor of Hezhong, Wang Chongrong forged a secret decree from the emperor and encouraged King Li Keyong of Jin, saying that Tian Lingzi, Zhu Wen and others in the court wanted to plot and kill Li Keyong.

Li Keyong is a powerful general. He is afraid of fighting and is afraid of anyone, but his political mind is not good.

Besides, Li Keyong and Zhu Wen are mortal enemies, and they once had a grudge between life and death, so Wang Chongrong handled it well.

So Li Keyong was bewitched and led his troops to attack Chang'an, in the name of Qingjun, beheading Tian Lingzi and Zhu Wen, and forcing Emperor Xizong of Tang to leave Chang'an for the second time.

Without Wang Chongrong's instigation, many people would not have died. King Xiang Li Ying would not have been forced to be emperor by Zhu Mei. In other words, Pei Changhao's cheap father Pei Che would not have died of a life of misfortune.

From this perspective, Wang Chongrong deserves to die.

"Brother Luo, if you do evil, you will die. I think your righteous brother has done a good job. Unfortunately, he did not follow your advice. If he left the river earlier, he would not have lost his life."

Luo Wenhua's face showed a look of hatred.

"It's all my fault. If I can persist, my brother will not have suffered unrestrained disasters."

Pei Changhao walked to Luo Wenhua and stared at him and spoke.

"Brother Luo, you don't understand your righteous brother's painstaking efforts, nor do you understand my words. No matter how you persuade him, he will not leave. He knows that danger is coming and is ready to die."

Luo Wenhua was a little surprised. Looking at Pei Changhao, he still had unwilling eyes in his eyes.

"As a general, he is the person he trusts the most. If he kills the governor, no matter what the reason, the outside world will not have a good view. Therefore, your righteous brother will not leave the river or the army. He wants to prove to the outside world that he is not thinking about usurping the throne, but doing so helplessly. Unfortunately, judging from the attitude of the court, they also think that your righteous brother is rebelling. In this case, your righteous brother will not leave even more."

"Your righteous brother proves his loyalty with his life, but unfortunately no one will really pay attention to it."

"If your righteous brother thought Wang Chongrong was not worthy of entrusting, then cut the mess quickly, leave decisively, and find another way out, and there would be no future."

Luo Wen nodded in pain.

"Brother Pei, what you said is that I had such an idea at that time, but I was still unwilling to give up."

"Brother Luo, don't think so much about the things that have passed, and don't indulge in them. I think your righteous brother is in the spirit of heaven and will not want to see you blame yourself so much."

A clear historical list appeared in Pei Changhao's mind. Luo Wen's righteous brother named Chang Xingru was the trusted general of the Hezhong Jieduan Wang Chongrong. Because of the insult, he could not bear it, so he raised an army to kill Wang Chongrong. The court sent Wang Chongrong's younger brother Wang Chongying to serve as the Hezhong Jieduan. After Wang Chongying took office, he killed Chang Xingru.

According to historical records, Wang Chongrong has a cruel personality and often insults and punishes his generals, causing complaints, and it is reasonable to be killed.

As for Luo Wen's righteous brother Chang Xingru, is it as noble as Luo Wen described, and is it because he could not bear it and killed Wang Chongrong? Pei Changhao has no need to pursue this. Everyone is dead. However, he has a vague feeling that perhaps the dead Chang Xingru had similarities with him in some aspects of his temper and personality.

That's why Luo Wenhua is intimate with himself.

Some major events happened this year. Li Guochang, the father of King Li Keyong of Jin, died of illness. Gao Pian, the famous former former Huainan Jieduo and his family were killed by Qin Yan, the governor of Xuanzhou, and Bi Shiduo, the commander of military commander of Huainan. Later, Qin Yan and Bi Shiduo were killed by Sun Ru, the governor of Caizhou, Qin Zongquan, and Li Changfu, the governor of Fengxiang, and his family were killed by Xue Zhichou, the governor of Longzhou.

Gao Pian, Li Changfu, Qin Yan and Bi Shiduo all had a certain reputation in the late Tang Dynasty, especially Gao Pian, who was once a powerful figure in the Tang Dynasty.

When Pei Changhao was still carefully sorting out these events in his mind, Luo Wenhua had already rolled up the map.

"Brother Pei, I'll give you this map."

Pei Changhao was stunned for a moment and quickly understood the meaning.

Luo Wenhua said everything he should say. Next, Pei Changhao also had to express something and say something. It would be impolite to come and not go. If he didn't say anything, he would look down on Luo Wenhua and the relationship between them ended here.

After thinking for a while, Pei Changhao took the map.

"Brother Luo, I am from the Pei family in Hedong. Last year, my family encountered a major change. Wang Chongrong, the governor of Hedong, killed by your righteous brother, General Chang, is my irreconcilable enemy. I also want to thank your righteous brother, General Chang, for helping me take revenge."

Luo Wenhua suddenly widened his eyes.

"You, are you the descendant of Lord Pei Che, Ping Zhang? I, I remember Lord Pei Che's family passed away..."

"Not bad, but I was sent to my hometown in Jiyuan by my parents and did not stay in the capital. It was also the monk who traveled around me who saved my life. He said that my life was in conflict with each other and it was not advisable to stay with my parents, so I was sent back to my hometown. After my father had an accident, I left Jiyuan's hometown and hid everywhere. I saw that the situation was slightly relieved before I came out to walk."

Luo Wenhua's face turned slightly red and he clasped his fists at Pei Changhao.

"Brother Pei is still able to deal with such a difficult situation. I feel ashamed of myself."

Pei Changhao shook his head and spoke with a wry smile on his face.
