Li Gui founded the country and owned seven counties in Zhangye, Dunhuang, Wuwei, Jiuquan, Jincheng, Kuanghan, and Xiping, with a population of nearly one million.
Moreover, in Xiliang, Han and Hu lived in mixed villages, and the people were strong. If Li Gui had all his strength to recruit troops, he would have gathered 200,000 troops, and there would be no Yali at all!
If Li Yuan was in full swing, he would naturally not be afraid of Li Gui, but if he wanted to attack Li Gui, he would have to think carefully!
Nowadays, after years of war, the people's livelihood in the Tang Dynasty was withering and the soldiers were exhausted. What's more, under the famine, there was no food at all, and even starved to death. Where can I get food and grass supply to fight?
Therefore, when An Xinggui proposed to go to Xiliang to persuade Li Gui to surrender, although Li Yuan did not believe it, he still pretended to agree.[
The reason why An Xinggui dared to boast about his words and said that he could convince Li Gui was not because An Xinggui was eloquent and had a good tongue, but because An Xinggui's brother, An Xiuren
, is Li Gui's confidant!
Although Li Gui ascended the throne and became emperor, in fact, there were not many capable people under his command. It was probably only the famous scholars who were better than Li Gui at the time, including Cao Zhen, Liang Shuo, and An Xiuren.
!
In this way, naturally, Li Gui had to entrust important tasks to these famous scholars!
As one of the most important famous scholars under Li Gui, An Xiuren was appointed as the General of the Right and Right Guards after being ascended to the throne by Li Gui!
In theory, Li Gui's emphasis on An Xiuren should be considered a kind of kindness to him. Normally, An Xiuren should be ignorant of Li Gui's life and death, right?
But it is not the case!
This is not entirely because An Xiuren has no conscience. Instead, since Li Gui ascended the throne, he has changed his whole body, becoming arrogant, extravagant, happy and angry, suspicious, and violent.
After becoming emperor, Li Gui began to build a large-scale construction and ordered people to build pavilions and buildings for himself, which was quite extravagant and wasted. Moreover, because there were too many corvee labor levies, the people had complaints!
This year, it has been hit by natural disasters, severe droughts, and locusts!
Xiliang is already poor. In recent years, under the turmoil and uneasy, people's lives have become even more difficult. Now, with such a famine, many people have no way to survive.
But at this time, Li Gui believed the slander of a surrendered official in the Sui Dynasty, closed the official warehouse, and stopped disaster relief.
As a result, in the seven counties of Xiliang, hunger and dead, and the people changed their children to eat!
It was also the same year that Tuyuhun, which was adjacent to Xiliang, was encouraged by the old turtle Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty, and prepared to attack Xiliang from the east and burn, kill and rob!
At the critical moment, Li Gui made another trick because he believed in slander. He poisoned one of his several confidants, Liang Shuo, the Minister of Personnel, to death!
There are strong enemies outside and eyeing them, and the lives of grassroots people at home are in a difficult situation. The court is panic again, and people's minds change. It can be said that although the Xiliang Empire has been established less than a year ago, it has been under the turmoil of Li Gui.
Next. It's about to fall back!
At this moment, An Xinggui came to win over his brother with Li Yuan's secret order, and the Xiliang left and right side to serve as the general An Xiuren!
When Liang Shuo died, An Xiuren muttered in his heart, "It was Liang Shuo who died this time. Then next time, who will be the turn? It seems that among the important figures of the Western Liang Dynasty, Cao
Zhen, it seems that the only old man is left, right?"
"So, old man, it's very dangerous!"
With this idea, when An Xinggui came to secretly find An Xiuren and expressed his intention, An Xiuren responded without any hesitation.[
Then the An brothers muttered and discussed for a while, and finally came up with a plan that seemed to be somewhat feasible!
The first step in the An family brothers' plan was to recommend their brothers to Li Gui.
Xiliang has no talent, and a guy like An Xinggui who can't rank in the Central Plains can be called a talent that can be regarded as a talent for the world when he arrives in Xiliang!
Therefore, when Li Gui summoned An Xinggui once, he immediately expressed his sincere appreciation to him and immediately entrusted him with important tasks. He was appointed as the General of the Right Guard of An Xinggui, which was the same as his brother An Xiuren!
Afterwards, Li Gui asked An Xinggui if there was a way to protect Xiliang!
An Xinggui is indeed not a good lobbyist. When Li Gui asked this, An Xinggui immediately showed his fox's tail and hurriedly gave Li Gui the plan to surrender to Li Yuan!
How could I imagine that although Li Gui is a little pig, he is not really stupid!
Now that I heard An Xinggui’s words, I immediately realized that An Xinggui is this old boy, and he is afraid he has already colluded with the Tang Dynasty. He probably is here to fool me as a fool!
After coming to his senses, Li Gui was furious and directly beat An Xinggui out with a stick!
Li Gui did not kill An Xinggui on the spot, not because he did not have real evidence, but because he was afraid of the military power in the hands of An Xiuren, the general of the left and right guards. In addition, he also had to worry about the face of the old turtle Li Yuan in Guanzhong!
After all, with Xiliang's national strength, if Li Yuan is really angered, there will definitely be no good results!
Li Gui felt guilty, but An Xinggui refused to give up!
Seeing that the lobbying failed, An Xinggui and his brother An Xiuren discussed this and simply tore off their faces and resorted to force!
The An family brothers are quite prestigious in Xiliang, especially those ethnic minority tribes, many of which have had good friends with the An family!
Now the An brothers raised their arms and shouted, and immediately more than half of the Xiliang army rebelled with the An brothers! Moreover, most of them were elite Hu soldiers!
Taking advantage of the fact that Li Gui had not come back to his senses, the An brothers directly led their troops to surround Liangzhou City!
Faced with the tyranny of the An brothers, although Li Gui knew that he could not beat him, he had to bite the bullet and come out.
Because the people of Xiliang are always respected by the strong! If Li Gui didn’t even have the courage to go out to fight, maybe that night, the soldiers guarding the city would directly open the city to surrender and guide the An brothers to enter the palace!
Although Yu Yong raised up and barely raised his hero so much, unfortunately, Li Gui was just a silver-like wax gun tip. He was defeated by the An brothers after he didn't last until twelve seconds after leaving the city!
An Xinggui outside the city took advantage of the victory and shouted, saying that he was ordered by Emperor Tang to punish the people and arrest the people and arrest him, and arrest Li Gui, an anti-human element. Those who dared to resist would be punished by the nine clans, and so on!
The boss was all defeated. Now, after hearing An Xinggui's trick, all the soldiers guarding the city were disintegrated and lost their fighting spirit.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Gui hurried back to the palace, and dragged his son and daughter to the Jade Girl Platform, which he had built with all his strength, and planned to spend another fortune before his death![
Unfortunately, before Li Gui boarded the Jade Girl Platform again, the An brothers rushed into Liangzhou City and led their troops to capture Li Gui's family alive, then put them on a wooden cage and van and sent them to Chang'an
!
At this point, the Western Liang Dynasty, which had just been founded for a year, was so romantic and drowned in the waves of history!
