李德裕

李德裕 appears in 76.玄怪录:晚唐党争?没耽误宰相写大马猴的故事 as the “Li” pole of the [[NiuLiPartyStruggle|牛李党争]]. The episode contrasts him with [[NiuSengru|牛僧儒]] and [[LiZongmin|李宗闵]] while explaining the late-Tang political background behind [[XuanGuaiLu|《玄怪录》]].

The source uses Li Deyu most concretely in the Tibet/Tubo policy contrast: he is associated with the more assertive line of accepting a rebel general and considering military action, while 牛僧儒 argues from alliance obligations and the cost of renewed conflict. The page remains source-scoped rather than a full political biography.

90.酉阳杂俎:血滴子和武则天手指上的黑毛 adds a lighter [[YouyangZazu|《酉阳杂俎》]] connection: the episode names Li Deyu among [[DuanChengshi|段成式]]’s literary-political circle and says he appears repeatedly in the book’s material field. This extends his page only as a source-context link, not as a new biographical claim.
