Under the leadership of Li Cunxu and Su Lie, the Tang army in Puzhou withdrew from the city.

The Tang army and the Xia army competed in Puzhou, and it was difficult to distinguish.

However, Li Keyong, the Crow Army, was severely damaged in Yubi City, and the morning was in danger. The Crow soldiers were in panic and retreated northward. Therefore, Li Cunxu had to return to the Crow Army and unite people's hearts.

In addition, the troops and horses in Guanzhong continued to enter Hedong, and with the current morale of the Crow Army, it was no longer possible to compete with the Xia army.

Su Lie, Li Su and other Tang army generals defeated Li Keyong to Xie Xuan. In addition to surprise, they had to accept such a result and chose to withdraw from Li Cunxu.

This time, the Tang army went south mainly relying on Li Keyong's Crow Army, the Later Tang army, and the 200,000 Tang army.

Li Keyong has an accident and continues to fight, and the outcome is unpredictable.

"Lord, the Tang army has given up Puzhou and retreated to Jinzhou."

"The Northern Prefecture Army actually repelled hundreds of thousands of Tang troops..."

Zhang Hua fought with Tang generals such as Su Lie, Li Cunxu, and Li Cunxiao in Puzhou. Puzhou City was almost razed to the ground. Zhang Hua never expected that the breakthrough point was actually in the besieged Yubi City.

Yubi City was originally in danger and was waiting for reinforcements, but Xie Xuan took the initiative to attack and severely injured the commander of the Ya'er Army and lifted the Ya'er Army's siege on Yubi City.

In most cases, a commander of Xie Xuan's level will not sit still and wait for death, but will find a way to break the deadlock by himself. He will only be distorted when there is no way.

Originally, Zhang Hua expected to have to pay more casualties to repel the Tang army, but he never thought that Xie Xuan would repel the Ya'er army, and the Tang army had already retreated to Jinzhou.

After the Tang army retreated like this, it is estimated that the Tang army will have to make arrangements for a while before they can attack Hedong again.

After Zhang Hua recovered Puzhou, he left behind a large army and led only the light cavalry to Yubi City to comfort the Northern Prefecture Army that had made great military achievements.

In Jinzhou City, hundreds of thousands of Tang troops retreated to this city, and Tang army generals such as Su Lie, Li Su and Li Su looked bad.

They were ordered to go south to conquer Hedong with Li Keyong, Li Cunxu and his son, and intimidate Guanzhong. They never thought that they would fail.

However, Su Lie and Lie could not blame the dying Li Keyong.

As a military general, Li Keyong was still quite fierce. He almost forced the Northern Prefecture Army into a desperate situation and killed many generals of the Northern Prefecture Army.

But Xie Xuan was better at the skill and successfully attacked Li Keyong.

"How is my father?"

Li Cunxu returned to Jinzhou and came to see Li Keyong immediately.

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 military generals gathered in the house and looked at Li Cunxu who came in, full of awe.

Once Li Keyong dies, Li Cunxu will be in charge of the Ya'er Army.

Li Keyong was lying on the sickbed. When he saw Li Cunxu coming in, he handed over three arrows to Li Cunxu.

Li Cunxu solemnly took three arrows.

"The first arrow will ask you to conquer the entire Hedong and succeed the Hedong Jiedushi."

"The second arrow, asking you to attack Zhang Hua, is the biggest obstacle to restoring the Tang Dynasty."

"The third arrow, I want you to unify the world for Your Majesty."

"If you can fulfill these three wishes of me, I will die without regrets."

Li Keyong's face turned black and was highly poisoned, but he still decisively handed over the Ya'er army to Li Cunxu and asked Li Cunxu to fulfill the three arrows' agreement.

Li Keyong was qualified to be one of the peerless two heroes in the late Tang Dynasty, so he naturally had his own personal charm. Before his death, he did not support his youngest son like Yuan Shao and Liu Biao, but instead let his eldest son Li Cunxu take charge of the Ya'er Army.

Li Cunxu's ability may be stronger than Li Keyong.

Li Ke knew this with all his heart.

Li Cunxu knelt down and received the arrow, and said in a grief: "Don't worry, my father, I must do these three things."

Li Cunxu called Xia Luqi, Shi Jingsi and Shi Jianlang to the three powerful generals, and handed over three arrows to the three: "You each carry one arrow and remind me of these three things at all times!"

Xia Luqi, Shi Jingsi, and Shi Jianlang took the iron arrow and looked awe-inspiring.

They found that Li Cunxu's eyes were even more sharp, as if they had changed.

If Zhang Hua could see Li Cunxu's military general panel, he would be surprised to find that Li Cunxu's various abilities have been improved!

Li Ke gave his son three arrows to help Li Cunxu get cheated.

Historically, after Li Keyong's death, Li Cunxu worked hard to govern, destroyed the Later Liang Dynasty in the south, defeated the Khitan in the north, seized Hebei in the east, and merged with the river in the west, pacified the Former Shu, and almost unified the world.

If Li Cunxu had not been neglected in the later period, indulged in eunuchs, acted in chaos, and had mutiny, and died in military chaos, perhaps Li Cunxu could have really recreated the Tang Dynasty and became the emperor who revived the Han Dynasty like Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu.

"See lord!"

Li Siyuan, Li Sizhao, Li Cunxin, Li Cunjin, Li Siben, Li Sien, Li Cunzhang, Li Cunshen, Li Cunxian, Shi Jingsi and other military generals all regarded Li Cunxu, the son of Li Keyong, as their new lord.

Su Lie and Li Su just watched the power changes within the Ya'er Army coldly, and remained indifferent.

The Crow Army was qualified to take over Li Keyong's Crow Army's generals, and there were only two.

One is Li Siyuan, the great prefect, who has made great achievements in fighting and is in charge of the capital of 500. The rushing horses are the most elite cavalry in the Crow Army, which shows Li Keyong's trust in Li Siyuan.

The other is Li Cunxu, the third wife, who is in charge of the eight thousand silver spears, and is Li Keyong's real son. According to the old China-common system of eldest son inheritance, Li Cunxu is the most qualified person to inherit Li Keyong's legacy.

Although Li Keyong and Li Cunxu were from Shatuo, they regarded themselves as the heirs of the Tang Dynasty, so they would act according to the traditions of the Tang Dynasty.

However, Li Cunxu was still a little afraid of Li Siyuan, who was in charge of the capital...

"Your Majesty needs to be informed of the incident in the Ya'er Army, and your Majesty will formally appoint Li Cunxu as the new Hedong Jiedushi."

"The Xia army took back important towns such as Puzhou and other places. This time, the failure to go south to Hedong, seems to be needed to find another opportunity."

"That's the only way."

Su Lie and Li Jue retreated to Jinzhou and reported to the lord behind him what happened here.

In Weizhou, the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, a large number of Tang troops are gathering.

The Tang army used to go south to Hedong only cooperated with Li Keyong's action. The real main force of the Tang army was not in Hedong, but in Weizhou and entered the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun.

The Tang army's formation lasted for hundreds of miles, with flags covering the sky, with great momentum and strong soldiers and horses.

Hundreds of Tang army generals entered Yanyun, and beacons rose everywhere.

The princes of Weizhou were Liu Rengong, the governor of the Lulong Army in the late Tang Dynasty.

The governor of Lu Long, also known as the governor of Youzhou, Liu Rengong was a hero of the same era as Li Keyong and Zhu Wen. The three of them competed for hegemony in the north, but Liu Rengong's ability was not as good as Li Keyong and Zhu Wen. Facing the main force of the Tang army that was pressing all over the mountains, Liu Rengong's face was as sweet as pig's liver.
