A horseman entered Chang'an City. Because he had been galloping for several days and was exhausted, the postman rolled down from the horse's back, alarming the Chang'an government.

News from Hedong was urgently sent to the Daming Palace in Chang'an City.

"Lord, Hedong urgently reported that the Tang army attacked at night, and Puzhou was lost!"

Lu Lingqi brought the news to the palace and reported to Zhang Hua about the Hedong military aircraft.

"Since the wind and snow have been blowing, how did the Tang army attack Puzhou?"

Zhang Hua was also shocked when he heard this news.

It is impossible for ordinary generals to reach the city of Puzhou overnight on a storm of wind and snow.

Even Zhang Hua didn't think he could do it.

"After Puzhou was lost, Yubi City was completely surrounded by the Tang army's territory, and became an enclave..."

Zhang Hua's eyes were fierce.

The Tang army's surprise attack on Puzhou was really too ruthless.

Xie Xuan's Northern Palace Army stationed in Yubi City and became an isolated city.

Yubi City is easy to defend but difficult to attack, so the Tang army directly bypassed Yubi City and deviated from the rear.

"The next step of the Tang army must still take down Yubi to completely control Hedong. With Li Keyong's troops, he could not capture Yubi City. It seems that the great princes behind Li Keyong will end."

What Zhang Hua was worried about was not Li Keyong, but the great princes behind Li Keyong.

This is also the reason why Zhang Hua never sent troops to destroy Li Keyong.

"Qihuo Army, Yang Family Army, where has it been now?"

Zhang Hua has sent two troops in advance to support Hedong.

But the beggar army and the Yang family army were preparing to cross the Yellow River according to the expected progress.

It can only be said that the Tang army's soldiers are very fast. At the unpredictable speed of gods and ghosts, they took Puzhou and let Zhang Hua go to support the troops and horses that were passive.

Yang Miaozhen came to the palace with another news: "An urgent report came from the night, and the generals of the Tang army who led troops to support Li Keyong were Li Juan, a famous general in the middle and late Tang Dynasty."

"It turned out to be Li Su..."

Zhang Hua showed a sudden enlightenment.

He was familiar with famous generals from all dynasties from Wang Shouren.

After the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty entered the period of separatist rule of the vassal states, but Emperor Xianzong of Tang was determined to slash the vassal states and sent sixteen troops to attack Wu Yuanji, the governor of Huaixi who had troops to support his own troops.

At that time, the Tang army from all walks of life had fought hard for many years without any progress, so Emperor Xianzong of Tang appointed Li Jue as the commander of the Tang army on the west.

Li Ju learned that Caizhou, the main city behind Wu Yuanji, was empty in defense, so he braved the wind and snow to attack Caizhou at night and captured Wu Yuanji, the governor of Huaixi.

This is the famous snowy night entering Caizhou.

In ancient times, entering Caizhou at a snowy night was an extremely classic example of a surprise attack on snowy days.

Only Li Xu could brave the wind and snow and forcibly break through Puzhou, which was guarded by the Northern Prefecture Army.

Speaking of which, Wu Yuanji, the governor of Huaixi, has defected to Zhang Hua, and is in the army, but he has no sense of existence...

If He Qian and Chen Bozhi, who were guarding Puzhou, were defeated by Li Su, Li Cunxu and other Tang generals, then they cannot be blamed, because the abilities of both sides are not on the same level.

"Master, what should I do next?"

Lu Lingqi and Yang Miaozhen looked at Zhang Hua.

They are not wise generals, and they are not their strengths when giving advice.

"Li Feng entered Hedong at night. If he did not fight back strongly, his troops would threaten Chang'an. With Li Feng's night attack ability, he could even attack Chang'an in surprise from Puzhou. Therefore, he had to attack hard!"

Zhang Hua knew that Hedong could not make any mistakes, otherwise the entire Chang'an City would be under the threat of the Tang army.

Like Xuzhou and other places, Hedong has been a place that must be fought for by military strategists since ancient times.

"Let the women camp, the god cavalry camp, and the godbu camp, follow me and conquer Hedong."

This is Zhang Hua's third attack on Hedong.

The Hedong area is harder to occupy than imagined.

Zhang Hua had attacked Hedong twice in a row, only half of Hedong was captured, and now there is only one Yubi City left.

Zhang Hua's Divine Cavalry Battalion supplemented Wang Yanzhang, Zhang Liao, Zhang Fei, Zhe Saihua, and Shenbu Battalion supplemented Deng Zilong and Yang Shihou, who were strong and could use troops against Hedong.

"Let Yang Ye's Yang family army and Ran Liang's Qihuo Army stationed in Linjin Town, waiting for the main force to arrive, and then regain Hedong in one fell swoop."

Zhang Hua issued orders in succession.

Zhang Liao, Zhang Fei, Deng Zilong and Zhang Xingcai, who had just joined, received the order to march into Hedong, and immediately put on armor and followed Zhang Hua to fight against Hedong.

At Yubi City, it was dawn that night and the heavy snow stopped. Xie Xuan received news that Puzhou was lost and the guard general He Qian and Chen Bozhi were captured by the Tang army.

Once Puzhou was lost, all the surrounding territories controlled by Puzhou were occupied by the Tang army.

It is very likely that the Yubi City controlled by Xie Xuan has become the last city in Hedong.

"General, the Tang army appears at the city!"

"I see."

Xie Xuan knew that Puzhou was lost and the Tang army would not let Yubi City go.

As long as Xie Xuan's Northern Palace Army was still in Yubi City, the Tang army could not be regarded as occupying the entire Hedong.

The Xia army in Guanzhong may come to rescue the Northern Prefecture Army at any time.

The dispute between the Tang army and the Xia army and Hedong officially began!

Xie Xuan came to the watchtower of Yubi City and looked down at the mountains and fields under the high walls, neatly arranged Tang troops.

The Tang army formed a square formation, with the large square formations of tens of thousands and the small square formations of thousands.

There are dozens of these Tang military formations!

The Tang army obviously made up their minds to razed Yubi City to the ground.

Groups of crows hovering over Jadebi City, and an unknown aura spreads.

Li Keyong, the commander of the Crow Army, was in front of dozens of Tang army formations, unruly and ambitious, and greedily looking at the condescending Yubi City.

Last time Li Keyong failed to conquer this fortress, and this time he received support from the Tang army, Li Keyong was determined to win.

Li Keyong's own army actually claimed to be the Tang army, because Li Keyong's surname was a national surname rewarded by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Keyong regarded himself as the Tang people.

Li Keyong himself is also a ruthless man, beating the great general Huang Chao and Zhu Wen's biggest opponent.

Behind Li Keyong, the eldest grandpa Li Siyuan, the second grandpa Li Sizhao, the fourth grandpa Li Cunxin, the fifth grandpa Li Cunjin, the sixth grandpa Li Siben, the seventh grandpa Li Sien, the eighth grandpa Li Cunzhang, the ninth grandpa Li Cunshen, the tenth grandpa Li Cunxian, the eleventh grandpa Shi Jingsi, and other Tang army generals, lined up with golden swords and iron horses, and swallowed thousands of miles.

The third prince Li Cunxu and the Tang army general Li Xu attacked Puzhou and blocked reinforcements from the Guanzhong direction. As for the twelfth prince Kang Junli, the thirteenth prince Li Cunxiao betrayed Li Keyong and defected to the Tang army, but did not directly obey Li Keyong's orders.

"This time, this Jiedushi must take down Jade Bi City!"

"Build siege equipment!"

With a command from Li Ke, thousands of craftsmen began to build siege equipment to attack the impregnable Yubi City.

"It seems a little trouble now..."

Xie Xuan, Liu Laozhi, Yue Lei, Sun Wuzhong and other military generals of the Northern Prefecture witnessed the Tang army approaching the city, and the north-south exit of Yubi City were all blocked by the Tang army, and realized that this was an unprecedented fierce battle.

In order to turn Yubi City into a fortress, Xie Xuan set up three walls, dozens of stone arrow towers, hundreds of bed crossbows, and millions of arrows...

But in Xie Xuan's opinion, these city defenses may not be enough this time.

"It would be great if my father was here. I would never let Li Keyong conquer Yubi City."

When Yue Lei saw the Tang army gathering under the city, he couldn't help but think of Yue Fei.

If Yue Fei's Yue family army is here, they will join forces with the Northern Prefecture Army to specifically restrain Li Keyong's Crow Army, Yue Lei dares to go out of the city directly to fight against Li Keyong.

Another Tang army went south in the Fenhe Valley. The Tang army flags covered the sky, and the Tang cavalry equipped with Mingguang armor were wearing sharp and murderous intent.

The Tang army generals looked south with high fighting spirit.

This time, the Tang army entrenched in the Taiyuan area went south and joined forces with Li Keyong's Tang army, aiming to annex the entire Hedong.

Hedong is a place that must be fought for by military strategists. For Guanzhong, Hedong is a barrier. For Taiyuan, Hedong is also crucial, because the Xia army can go north along the Fenhe Valley and conquer Taiyuan, Yanmen, Mayi, Daixian and other cities.

Hedong is related to the life and death of the two great princes, and it is necessary to fight for it.

"The Battle of Hedong is related to our reconstruction of the great Tang Dynasty. If we take over the entire Hedong, it will be an invincible result!"

The general of the Tang army was very determined and determined to win.

The mighty Tang army went south, equipped with Mingguang armor, battle robe, spear, shield, crossbow, mob, waist knife, war horse, arrows, and energetic, which shows that the Tang army is strong.

After a few nights, the Tang army who stood above the valley and secretly peeked over by was shocked.

"It seems that this time, the Tang army issued a death order and must capture Yubi City. Even the subsequent troops exceeded 100,000..."

"How many troops did the Tang army use in total this time? 200,000, 300,000, or 400,000?"

"The Tang army frequently mobilized, and it is difficult to calculate how many soldiers the Tang army used."
