A month and a half after the decisive battle of Bianzhou in the Central Plains, the entire land of Hebei rekindled the flames of war. Taking advantage of the time when the imperial court was resting in Henan after the decisive battle of the Central Plains, the three towns of Hebei set up heavy troops in Yecheng-Jizhou, preparing to use it to resist the attack of the Tang army.

However, after the resumption of fighting, the imperial court offensive exceeded the expectations of the rebels. November 6.

In the direction of Henan Road, hundreds of thousands of imperial soldiers and horses crossed the river north and entered Weibo in an all-round way. In the early days, the entire Hebei rebel army was frightened, but after the actual crossing of the river, the soldiers and horses of the imperial court were walking in peace, camping and preparing for war unhurriedly.

At first glance, there is not the slightest idea of marching north. In the southern part of Hedong Road, in the direction of Taiyuan, Gordon and Daizhou, the total number of more than 100,000 Hedong troops passed through various fortresses in Taihang Mountain, and condescendingly marched eastward.

Some of them invaded the territory of Zhenzhou, to which Chengde belonged, causing the entire Chengde to shake. The other part disappeared into the continuous mountains of Taihang Mountain under the cover of the sheep's attacking foot soldiers.

In the north of Hedong Road, in the direction of Ulzhou, tens of thousands of cavalry broke into Yanzhou, where Lulong Town belonged. In the face of the surging cavalry all over the mountains, the soldiers and horses of the Lu Long Army stationed in Yanzhou could not retreat.

Tens of thousands of cavalry with one man and two horses broke into the territory of Lulong without hindrance, and rushed frantically towards the interior of Lulong Town at high speed, turning most of Lulong upside down.

Three ways to attack, two directly hit the rebels seven inches, so that the rebels originally spent a lot of effort to arrange the defense in Yecheng-Jizhou became an ornament.

In desperation, Mr. Liu and Wang Chengzong had to readjust the soldiers and horses that had been concentrated in Yecheng for more than a month, and dismantle the defense line that had been basically completed.

At the same time, in order to prevent Wei Bo from defecting, he also had to endure the bamboo pole from Wei Bo. On the sixth day of November, the front and flanks of the imperial court attacked simultaneously.

On the seventh day of November, Liu Zong and Wang Chengzong mobilized more than 250,000 soldiers and horses from Yecheng to the west, heading north to deliver grain, grass and soldiers to Weibo on the southern line.

At the same time, they once again ordered to forcibly recruit Dingkou from all over the country again, and this time, General Liu and Wang Chengzong asked the generals from all over the country not to set an upper limit, and to lower the requirements, the more the better.

On the ninth day of November, the 10,000 cavalry of the Lu Dragon Army, which was lightly armed, arrived in Yizhou and began to sweep away the imperial cavalry rampant in Yizhou with the cooperation of the Yizhou garrison.

On the 10th day of November, the 30,000 elite Chengde army forcibly marched 180 miles to Dingzhou in four days, blocking the eastward advancing Hedong Army between Dingzhou and Zhenzhou.

Behind these 30,000 elites, there are 70,000 Chengde troops who are traveling day and night, and in the direction of Zhaozhou, south of Zhenzhou, there are also 50,000 elite Chengde troops following up.

On November 11, 50,000 Chengde elites arrived in Zhaozhou City smoothly. 10,000 Chengde elites escorted 100,000 stone grain and grass to the city of Weibo Beizhou, 100,000 grain and grass were left in Beizhou, and 10,000 elites were transferred to Weizhou by Tian Ji'an's order.

The 80,000 Lu Long soldiers who went north on foot crossed the Shenzhou to which Chengde belonged and entered the territory of Mozhou, to which Lu Long belonged, blocking the way for the imperial cavalry to continue south.

Faced with the fact that the brigade of soldiers and horses had already returned to help, the frequency and density of the imperial cavalry activities that broke into the Lulong states were greatly reduced, and the rebellion and the rebellion of the Hao clan became the main factor of the unrest in the territory of the Lulong army.

At the same time, under the order of President Liu, the 80,000 elite Lu Long troops who arrived in Mozhou began to mix with the Mozhou garrison.

On November 12, 40,000 elite reinforcements and 40,000 miscellaneous recruits set out from Zhaozhou and headed north to Zhenzhou, preparing to cut off the retreat of the eastward Hedong Army and completely encircle them.

The 10,000 Chengde elites who went south from Yecheng arrived in Weizhou City. After determining that the imperial cavalry began to retreat northward on a large scale, the Lu Long army in Yizhou and Mozhou began to exterminate the wealthy families in the territory.

At this moment, it no longer matters whether these wealthy families have moved crooked thoughts, whether they have caused trouble, the important thing is that their existence has become the biggest hidden danger of Mr. Liu, and more importantly, they have the food, money, and strong men that Mr. Liu needs most in their hands.

On November 13, after obtaining his own 10,000 elites to deploy defenses in Weizhou, Wang Chengzong once again marched to Weibo in the name of reinforcements from the 20,000 troops and horses that had been drawn from Yecheng's already empty to the extreme.

The task given to them by Wang Chengzong is that it is best to stay in Beizhou, if it doesn't work, they will have to live or die in Bozhou, and Bozhou is his Wang Chengzong's bottom line.

Mr. Liu arrived in Mozhou, commanded more than 100,000 soldiers and horses reorganized from Mozhou to enter Youzhou, and began to sweep up the imperial cavalry that broke into Zhuozhou with the local Lu Long army in Youzhou.

After Dingzhou and Mozhou, Lu Longjun in Youzhou, Zhuozhou, and Jizhou also raised their butcher knives and began to purge all the wealthy families and clans under their rule little by little who did not wear the same pants as themselves.

On November 14, Lu Long's army continued to move north, and under his order, the soldiers and horses under his command began to unscrupulously purge the wealthy families and wealthy families in the location, and the entire territory of Lu Long was full of blood.

The remaining 70,000 Chengde troops from Yecheng successfully arrived at Dingzhou after seven consecutive days of marching, making the Chengde army's strength in the direction of Dingzhou, Zhenzhou, and Zhaozhou on the western front have an overwhelming advantage over the Hedong Army advancing eastward.

In order to ensure that the foot soldiers of the Hedong Army were completely eaten, the Chengde soldiers who arrived in Dingzhou did not immediately attack the Hedong Army, but according to Wang Chengzong's order, they learned from President Liu's behavior in Lulong.

It was night, the gate of Dingzhou City was closed early, and after nightfall, 70,000 Chengde soldiers armed to the teeth began to clean with sharp blades.

At the beginning, the killing was still purposeful, and the targeted ones were the wealthy and the big families, but gradually, as the killing progressed, they turned into bloodthirsty demons.

On the same day, 20,000 Chengde elites entered the territory of Beizhou under Wei Bo's rule. On November 15, it has been ten days since the war was rekindled, and the fire in Dingzhou City has also burned for a whole day and night, and the once prosperous Dingzhou City has completely fallen into hell on earth.

After a day and a night of madness in Dingzhou City, the body was very tired, but the 70,000 who were in an extremely high state of mind did not go through any rest and left Dingzhou City, which had been completely turned into ruins.

According to the plan, the reinforcements from Zhaozhou to the north should have arrived, and the retreat of the Hedong Army, which was stuck between Dingzhou and Zhenzhou and confronted by 30,000 elites, has been completely cut off.

Their task of 70,000 men was very simple, to use the last day to complete the encirclement of the Hedong army.

…… Although it took countless thoughts, although it wasted countless time, although it consumed countless grains and grasses, although it paid a huge price, and although the process was a little tortuous, both Wang Chengzong and Mr. Liu were satisfied.

Because they not only blocked the holes in the west and north, temporarily eliminated the hidden dangers in the south, but also began to purge the wealthy families and gate valves who were parasites, vampires, and wall grass.

In their opinion, the imperial court would never have imagined that the two of them would take such decisive measures to deal with it and mobilize troops and horses so quickly.

The soldiers and horses of the imperial court seem to be arrogant, and they seem to be driving straight in, as if no one is in the realm, but in fact they have fallen into their own nets, and the soldiers and horses from Yecheng have arrived at their destinations one after another, and the two insidious and vicious killing moves of the imperial court have been cracked.

Not only that, with the successive development of their own soldiers and horses, the soldiers and horses of the Hedong Army and the imperial court who sneak attack themselves from behind will die without a place to be buried!

In the eyes of Mr. Liu and Wang Chengzong, the imperial court's plan to repair the plank road and secretly Chen Cang has been completely bankrupt, and they have unexpectedly made Weibo really their own bridgehead, shield, and substitute for the dead.

If the two boys, Li Chun and Guo Rong, understood that the sneak attack had failed, and they advanced from the Central Plains in annoyance, then solemnly their arms, they believed that the soldiers and horses of the imperial court would definitely break their blood at Wei Bo's head, even if they really piled up Wei Bo with corpses in the end, they would definitely be broken.

At that time, his army had already returned to Weibo, and the army of waiting for work and hunger with ease would give Li Chun and Guo Rong, the two young people, an unforgettable lesson.

The current situation in Hebei is not a small good, but a great good, and it will be even better in the future. The situation went smoothly, so much so that Mr. Liu changed his plan to return to Youzhou, and instead went south, ready to re-discuss the follow-up plan with Wang Chengzong, and how to distribute such a rich cake as Datang!

However, what Mr. Liu didn't know was that just when he changed his plan to go south to Yecheng, a messenger of the Chengde Army covered in blood also rode on his war horse and began to rush frantically in the direction of Yecheng.

At noon on November 17, Mr. Liu came outside Yecheng again. Compared with the panicked and restless swallow ten days ago, Mr. Liu can be said to be radiant and complacent at this moment.

After all, at this moment, he had repelled the imperial cavalry that had entered the court, and killed Lu Long's wealthy family to the point of blood, and the entire Lu Long was completely and 100% in his hands.

It's just that what Mr. Liu didn't know was that an hour ago, a blood-stained messenger hurriedly rushed into Yecheng.

After learning the identity of the visitor, the Chengde Military Academy on duty at the city gate did not dare to pause in the slightest, while sending someone to inform Wang Chengzong, and sending someone to send the messenger who was not lightly injured to the Jiedu Envoy's mansion.

With the support of the palace guards, the messenger staggered to Wang Chengzong's mansion. In fact, Wang Chengzong had been waiting for this messenger from the direction of Zhenzhou.

Because according to the plan, the Hedong Army that entered yesterday should be surrounded and annihilated between Zhenzhou and Dingzhou, and he is waiting for the news of this victory.

However, the delay in the messenger's arrival made Wang Chengzong more and more anxious, and in order to soothe his emotions, Wang Chengzong left an order and returned directly to the bedroom.

Hearing the arrival of a messenger from the direction of Zhenzhou, Wang Chengzong, who was killing all sides in the bedroom, was shocked in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Chengzong threw down the concubine in a coquettish state, didn't even ask about the most basic situation, put on a shirt at random, didn't even wear shoes, and rushed out directly in the middle of winter barefoot.

However, Wang Chengzong, whose eyes lit up and was full of interest, was directly stunned after seeing the messenger's appearance.

A quarter of an hour later, in the mansion of King Chengzong of Yecheng, there was a huge roar of filial piety.

"You! Dare! Lie! Report! Army! Feeling! At this moment, Wang Chengzong has completely lost his previous state and heroic posture, on his forehead and between his arms, the green tendons are exposed, and his body is trembling.

Looking at Wang Chengzong, who was angry and murderous, he was already injured a lot, and the messenger's body that barely supported him here began to tremble because of weakness and fear.

And, while trembling, explaining.

"Big~Big~Big~Big! Da Shuai, I'm me, I'm not, I really don't, lying about the military situation, the army of the imperial court...... This ......" didn't wait for the messenger to finish speaking, and Wang Chengzong, who had almost completely lost it, stepped forward, grabbed the messenger's collar, and immediately picked up the messenger directly, and roared again.

"What do you say, you say again?" Looking at Wang Chengzong, who was angry and murderous, the messenger who was trembling all over his body seemed to understand all of a sudden, and the trembling and trembling on his body disappeared from his body at once.

I saw that after he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, he yelled directly at Wang Chengzong.

"Dashuai, everything is fake, the soldiers and horses of the imperial court attacked Zhaoyi, and then attacked Zhaozhou from Xingzhou, where Zhaoyi is located, and then went north to attack the army that was preparing to besiege the Hedong Army!"

"Marshal, the Zhaoyi Army is finished, Zhaozhou is finished, and the 200,000 army is finished!" After hearing these words clearly, Wang Chengzong's blood and qi surged up directly, and his expression became extremely hideous and terrifying in an instant, and the next moment under the strange power of anger and blessing, the messenger was directly thrown out two or three feet, and his chest smashed directly on the chair next to him.

As the chair was smashed, the courier's ribs were shattered several times, and after falling to the ground, he began to cough incessantly, and under the continuous coughing, streams of blood foamed from the corners of his mouth.

It didn't take long for the messenger's body to begin to twitch...... After entering the city, he heard that the messenger from Zhenzhou had arrived, and Mr. Liu left the soldiers and horses with the army outside the city, led some of the guards into the city, and went straight to Wang Chengzong's mansion.

When Mr. Liu arrived in a hurry with a few of his personal guards, the messenger's body was already cold, and Wang Chengzong, who was only wearing a single coat and barefoot, looked lost and depressed, lying in the seat with his eyes blank.

Seeing this extremely strange situation, Mr. Liu quickly walked to the side of a more familiar guard behind Wang Chengzong.

"What's going on? What is going on with the death, and how is this ...... you handsome" Before the guards could answer, Wang Chengzong's own voice had already reached his ears.

"It's over, it's all over......" Wang Chengzong's own state was full of decadence, and the despair exuded from his voice was even thicker, and combined with the content of this voice, Mr. Liu was also stunned directly.

"Brother Chengzong, what happened, why did it make you so desperate?" Hearing Mr. Liu's question, Wang Chengzong looked at Wang Chengzong with empty eyes.

"We've been fooled!"

"What" Looking at Mr. Liu with a bewildered face, a glimmer of light suddenly flashed in Wang Chengzong's eyes, and then he clenched his fists and said viciously.

"Henan, Zhenzhou, and Fuzhou are all suspicious soldiers......"
