Helian's attack, however, did not stop Li Keyong from coming to Wang Chucun's aid, and he repelled the Chengde attack. Meanwhile, though, Li Keju's general [[Li Quanzhong]] captured one of Yiwu's two prefectures, Yi Prefecture (易州, in modern Baoding). The Lulong forces, however, became arrogant after they captured Yi Prefecture. Wang Chucun sent 3,000 soldiers disguised as sheep (by wearing sheepskin) and had them come out at night. The Lulong soldiers thought that they were in fact sheep, and came out to pillage them. Wang Chucun then surprised them with his attack, defeating them and recapturing Yi Prefecture, forcing Li Quanzhong to flee. (Li Quanzhong, fearing punishment from Li Keju, subsequently mutinied and attacked Li Keju, forcing Li Keju to commit suicide. Li Quanzhong then took over Lulong.)<ref name=ZZTJ256/>
Around the same time, though, Wang Chongrong and the powerful [[eunuch (court official)|eunuch]] [[Tian Lingzi]], who dominated Emperor Xizong's court (which had returned to Chang'an by this point), got into a major dispute over control of salt ponds at Hezhong Circuit. Tian tried to retaliate against Wang Chongrong by having Emperor Xizong issue an edict transferring Wang Chongrong to Taining Circuit (泰寧, in modern [[Jining, Shandong|Jining]], [[Shandong]], [[Qi Kerang]] the military governor of Taining to Yiwu, and Wang Chucun to Hezhong. Wang Chucun submitted an objection, pointing out that the Lulong/Chengde attack had just recently been repelled and that he should not leave Yiwu at that time, and further defending Wang Chongrong, arguing that Wang Chongrong had great accomplishments against Huang and should not be transferred easily. Tian ignored Wang Chucun's objections and ordered him to report to Hezhong. Wang Chucun made a token attempt to do so, advancing to Jin Prefecture (晉州, in modern [[Linfen]], [[Shanxi]]), but after meeting resistance from Wang Chongrong's subordinate, Ji Junwu (冀君武) the prefect of Jin, he returned to Yiwu. He appeared to make no subsequently attempt to side with either side when Wang Chongrong and Li Keyong subsequently engaged and defeated the forces under Tian and his allies [[Zhu Mei]] the military governor of Jingnan Circuit (靜難, headquartered in modern [[Xianyang]], [[Shaanxi]]) and [[Li Changfu]] the military governor of Fengxiang Circuit (鳳翔, headquartered in modern [[Baoji]], [[Shaanxi]]), causing Emperor Xizong to flee again, to Xingyuan, nor was there any sign that he was involved in Zhu's subsequent failed attempt to make Emperor Xizong's distant relative [[Li Yun]] the Prince of Xiang emperor.<ref name=ZZTJ256/>
In [[892]], Li Keyong and Wang Chucun attacked Wang Rong, but were repelled.<ref>''Zizhi Tongjian'', [[:zh:s:資治通鑑/卷259|vol. 259]].</ref>
