Hiding in the mound that was a thousand meters away, Pu Gun leaned on the ground, looked at the towering city walls of Taiyuan in the distance, and let out a long sigh.

The Jizhou Army dispatched five thousand light cavalry and traveled day and night, and finally arrived at the city of Taiyuan.

As long as we can take down this strong city and open up the road for the Uighurs to go south, the Pugu family will have a foothold in the northern part of the desert.

Thinking of this, Pu Guyi asked the general beside him, "Are the horse ready?"

Someone replied, "Everything is ready."

As the northern capital of the Tang Dynasty, Taiyuan was strong in the city and the Hedong Army was stationed. If it were only thousands of cavalry, it would be impossible to take it down.

Back then, An Lushan raised an army to rebel against the Tang Dynasty, and the first city to attack was Taiyuan.

He took the Beidu Taiyuan without much effort, relying on ambushing a elite soldier of hundreds of people in the city in advance, and then captured Taiyuan and left behind. In the end, the soldiers won without bloodshed.

Since that incident, the Northern Tang Dynasty has made extremely strict regulations on the management of the city, especially the temporary garrisons of other vassal states in the city.

Unless there is an imperial edict from the emperor, the army of the vassal states shall not stay or pass through the city.

Therefore, Pu Guyi could not install his confidants in Taiyuan in advance like An Lushan, so he could only settle for the second best and use his tricks to open the city gate in Taiyuan.

Deng Jingshan, a left-behind Taiyuan, was the governor of Hedong. He once made great achievements in quelling the Hebei rebellion. However, it is rumored that this person has a problem, which is that he is greedy for small gains, and even thinks about ways to deduct the military pay.

Pu Guyi knew all this, so he selected thousands of war horses from the Jizhou army, saying that it was to thank Hedong for his support for the Pu Gu family back then, and he came to give him a horse.

However, in fact, among those war horses, not only were the horse shepherds pretending to be Jizhou soldiers, but there were even fully armed soldiers hiding under the horse's belly.

At this time, seeing the horses that were given as gifts were driven to the city, the servant Gu's heart suddenly fell into his throat.

If Deng Jingshan is trapped and the Taiyuan city gate is opened, the soldiers in the horses can rush into the city while the chaos is in chaos. It will not take long, as long as it can last for a quarter of an hour, the Jizhou army can enter the city to reinforce.

The horses stayed at the city gate for about a while. After a silence, the city gate of Taiyuan slowly opened.

Seeing this scene, Pu Gu was almost happy to jump up from the ground.

When all the horses entered the urn city in Taiyuan, Pu Guyu felt relieved, got up from the ground, rushed onto the horses, and shouted loudly: "Get on the horse! Enter the city quickly!"

Listening to the shouts of killing coming from his ears, the Jizhou Light Cavalry galloped all the way and finally arrived under the Taiyuan City Gate.

The vanguard of the Jizhou Army was the first to rush into the city gate and enter the urn city in Taiyuan.

Immediately afterwards, Pu Gu and a group of generals also entered the city.

As soon as he entered the city gate, Pu Guy realized something was wrong.

Outside the city, you can hear the sound of killing in Taiyuan City shook the sky, but there were no traces of fighting in the urn city, and even a guard could not see it.

Pu Guy originally wanted to stop the horse and shouted the army to stop, but the forward rushed too fast and was approaching the gate of the inner city of Taiyuan.

Just as the Jizhou Army vanguard approached the inner city gate, a sudden change occurred.

The gate hanging from the inner city suddenly dropped down, and several cavalrymen who could not dodge were smashed and flesh and blood were flying everywhere.

Countless crossbowmen climbed up the city wall, aimed at the Jizhou army in the urn city, and began to shoot arrows with bows.

Amid the waves of arrows that looked like locusts, Pu Guyan dodged and shouted loudly to his soldiers: "Retreat to the city!"

However, the battlefield was in chaos, and many messengers died in the rain of arrows, and Pu Gu's order could not be spread at all.

Twenty breaths later, the crossbowman on the city wall stopped shooting.

The war horse was shot and escaped by chance. Pu Gun, who was lucky enough to escape, looked up at the city tower and was surprised to find that in addition to the Hedong Army, there was actually the flag of the Shuofang Army.

Pu Guyi was suddenly at a loss. He could not understand why the Shuofang Army appeared here.

Shuofang Jiedushi Sun Aying and Hedong Jiedushi Deng Jingshan appeared on the city tower at this time.

Sun Aying held an imperial edict in his hand and shouted to the Jizhou army in the schoolyard: "The emperor has known about the rebellion of Jizhou for a long time, so he designed a trap here, just waiting for you to die!"

When Pu Guyu heard this, he murmured, "This is impossible."

Sun Aying said again: "Those who are aware of the current affairs, put down their weapons now and surrender!"

The generals of the Jizhou Army looked at Pu Guyi one after another.

Pu Guyi looked up and saw that outside the city gate of Taiyuan, the cavalry of the Shuofang Army had arrived. The Jizhou soldiers outside the city, strangled by the joint force of the Shuofang Army and the Hedong Army, suffered numerous casualties and wounded. Most of them had lost the will to resist and kneeled down to surrender.

Seeing this, Pu Guyi closed his eyes, threw down his weapons, and said to the generals around him: "I have no choice but to make a decision, which has implicated you... Now the situation is over, and it is useless to fight again."

Seeing that Pu Guyi gave up his resistance, the generals of Jizhou Army knelt on the ground and begged for a life.

Sun Aying on the city tower saw this shape, snorted coldly and ordered: "Bind all the traitors and take them to the prison camp, and wait for the detention!"

Deng Jingshan, the governor of Hedong, bowed and congratulated him: "Protector Sun, you have made great contributions this time."

Sun Aying: "It is not my credit to win this time, but it is entirely up to Your Majesty to predict the enemy's initiative. Jizhou, Pingzhou, Yingzhou and other places have been selling tea and connecting with the Uighurs. Your Majesty has heard of it for a long time. He has not touched them before, so he does not want to alarm the enemy."

Deng Jingshan rolled his eyes: "Since he has caught the traitor, what should I do next?"

Sun Aying: "Your Majesty has already given me an explanation. As long as we take in prisoners and wait here, we will naturally have someone to deal with them."

Half a month later, Feng Changqing and Fan Jinian arrived in Taiyuan.

Walking into the prison camp, Feng Changqing looked at the Jizhou Army with heavy casualties, and was surprised, and he couldn't help but sigh that the emperor was as expected.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! In the inner room of the prison camp, Feng Changqing met the most critical figure in this rebellion - Pu Gu Huaien.

Compared to his former high spirits, Pu Gu Huaien is now depressed and weak.

He knew in his heart that the Pugu family had caused a big disaster.

Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi took away the main troops of the Northern Tang Dynasty respectively. The elite troops of Anxi and Beiting were too far from Liangcheng to provide help.

If Puguyu really succeeded in a sneak attack on Taiyuan this time, then the Uighurs could lead a large number of cavalry to move south from Yunzhou and enter the plains.

By that time, the foundation of the Tang Dynasty for a hundred years might be completely collapsed because of the Pugu family.

Looking at Feng Changqing and Fan Jinian standing in front of him, Pugu Huaien sighed first and then said, "At that time, Hebei rebelled, and the Tongluo tribe rebels from Xijing and the northern enemy, my eldest son Pugu was outnumbered and was captured by the enemy. He pretended to surrender to the enemy and fled back to find an opportunity. At that time, I knew that he was devoted to the Tang Dynasty, but he still killed his head in front of the three armies in order to maintain the loyalty of the Pugu family. Unfortunately, all efforts have finally come to an end."

Feng Changqing looked at Pugu Huaien and said in a deep voice: "The Pugu family is in Pinglu and other places, and they are in contact with officials and generals for personal gain, collude with the Uighurs, and even assassinate the Jinyiwei. As the head of the Pugu family, don't you know?"

Pugu Huaien: "I attacked Fanyang and fought bloody battles in Boling. I led thousands of light cavalry to the enemy's back and captured Qizhou. However, I never expected that when I made such a contribution, my family would cause such a great disaster in the rear."

Feng Changqing emphasized his tone: "You really don't know all of these?"

Pugu Huaien smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "Things have developed to today's fields. Even if I say I don't know, what's the use?"

Feng Changqing stood up straight, looked at Fan Jinian, and then said, "Feng was the judge of Anxi. If someone in the Anxi army dared to collude with the enemy, he would even dare to assassinate the imperial guards in the court. He raged his nine clans, destroyed his family tree, calmed his ancestral tombs, and then listed this surname as a very evil surname, and passed on his infamous name from generation to generation!"

Every time Feng Changqing said something, Pu Gu Huaien's body trembled slightly.

After these words were finished, Feng Changqing was silent for a long time and suddenly said something that Pu Gu Huaien couldn't understand: "However, I don't understand Your Majesty's thoughts."

When Pu Gu Huai'en heard this, he raised his head.

Fan Jinian, who was standing beside him, cleared his throat: "Pu Gu Huai'en, please accept the order."

Looking at the imperial edict that Fan Jinian took out, Pu Gu Huaien knelt down, took it tremblingly, and then opened it with trembling all over.

After reading the imperial edict word by word, Pu Gu Huaien first opened his mouth in disbelief, then burst into tears and burst into tears.

He carefully collected the imperial edict, and Pu Gu Huaien headed westward, knelt on the ground, knocked his head heavily on the floor, and said in his mouth: "Your Majesty's re-creation of grace, the criminal ministers cannot repay you, but they can only be slaves and servants for life, devote themselves to their lives, and only after death."

Feng Changqing frowned and said to Pugu Huaien: "Your Majesty is too polite and ordered to kill the head of the crime, but he gave a favor to spare the crime. Feng was opposed to this decision. From now on, although Your Majesty has not mentioned the every move of Pugu family, the court will be on guard a hundred times more vigilant."

After saying that, Feng Changqing turned around and said, "Feng will stay in Taiyuan for three days. Next, he will be escorted to Pinglu... As for how to clean up the portal later, it is your business. Don't disappoint Your Majesty."
