"Tong'an Dajie! Marshal Qu Tutong of the Jianghuai Marching Army's Mansion took over the three counties of Tong'an, Qichun and Yiyang. Six thousand enemies were killed, and eight thousand were taken prisoner. ”

Great victory, in addition to the great victory is also a great victory, the streets of the eastern capital Luoyang from time to time to appear messengers to report the victory. There are special leaflets announcing the victory in Luoyang City. A small page full of the latest good news and the situation of the battle everywhere.

On the first day of the first month of the king month, Luoyang City, the eastern capital, reported nine great victories one after another. The sum of the nine victories combined was 64,600 enemy troops. Captured 175,000 enemy troops and recovered 15 counties. Hebei was completely recovered, and only Dou Jiande's troops led 250,000 remnants of the army in Tongshan, Liyang, Ji County, to resist stubbornly. South of Huainan. All the counties north of the Yangtze River were recovered. Even the Jianghuai Marshal's Mansion took advantage of the strong combat effectiveness of the naval division. Attacked the Yangtze River. Stationed in Poyang Lake, occupied Jiujiang, an important town in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

Countless good news was conveyed to the ears of the people in Luoyang City one after another, and the proud achievements of being the master of Luoyang City today are also a huge good news for the hundreds of thousands of people living in Luoyang City. This shows that the current owner of Luoyang City. It's unlikely that it will be changed again for a while. And the master of Luoyang City is strong, and Luoyang no longer has to be threatened by war. And the people in Luoyang City can also live better.

Even after the news of Chen Kefu's seizure of the fifteen county cities spread throughout Luoyang City, the people of Luoyang City have begun to spread that Chen Kefu is the emperor of the world. It is said that he is about to recover the whole world and ascend the throne as emperor. …,

However, in the case of the soaring support for Chen Kefu in Luoyang City, this is actually the result of Chen Kefu's secret manipulation. In terms of things, it is simply impossible to win the battles in Hedong, Hebei, and even Huainan and Jiangnan at the same time. And even if they really win at the same time, the good news of the three different places will not reach on the same day. Moreover, it is also a series of nine great victories, and many soldiers and horses have been connected to fifteen counties.

All of this was secretly manipulated and controlled by Chen Kefu. Through the advanced channel of flying pigeons to pass on the book, Chen Kefu was two days faster than the ordinary post station information, and one day faster than the urgent report sent by the ordinary herald. By the morning of May 1, he had actually received all nine of these good news. And because the battle is a difference in time, these nine good news should actually be distributed in the three days before and after.

However, Chen Kefu had already ordered to move the capital to Luoyang immediately after defeating Dou Jiande. Therefore, the officials of Chen Kefu's staff group proposed to use the good news they had obtained from the advanced communication system in their hands to publicize it in Luoyang City and make a very sensational incident. In order to increase Chen Kefu's prestige among the people and build momentum for his ascension to the throne and emperor.

This matter is not difficult to say, but it is also simple to say. The key lies in the advanced communication system that Chen Kefu has, which allows him to get this information one step earlier. The result of the matter is also quite satisfactory, and now in the entire eastern capital, whether it is a high-ranking official or an ordinary Li people, Chen Kefu's prestige in their hearts has reached a height that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve.

Even in order to make the effect better, when the good news was issued, the staff group under Chen Kefu also made some small changes in the number of enemies destroyed and captured. Among the more than 60,000 enemy troops annihilated, in fact, many civilians died in the fighting. Among the 175,000 people who were captured, many of the township soldiers, government officials, and catchers in the captured counties and counties were also counted in the number of enemy officers and soldiers captured.

When the result was finally sent, 65,000 enemies were destroyed and 175,000 were captured. These two astonishing figures have even made many people have countless imaginative guesses about the number and combat effectiveness of the Hebei Army.

The moon is dusk, and the night is silent.

In the Taiji Hall, Chen Kefu was checking a statistical report that had just been handed to him by the staff group not long ago. This is a budget for estimating the harvest after this year's summer grain harvest, followed by all the amount of grain that the imperial court can call on today. Finally, the staff group gave a summary at the end of the recital, and according to their budget, it was now calculated based on the territory and population currently controlled by the imperial court. They will have a large food deficit this year. And in the past two years, the imperial court has been preparing for war. A large amount of manpower was also deployed for mining. and the production of various weapons and armor, etc., so that the less labor is used for the tun barren tuntian. Gradually, they have reached the beginning of a vicious circle.

In addition to this grain report, there is also a letter on Chen Kefu's case that was issued by the Liaodong Secret Service Division. According to the report, in the past two years, he has continuously transferred troops and horses from Liaodong and other areas outside the Guanxi into the Central Plains. Nowadays, the imperial court basically has no regular soldiers and horses in Liaodong, Liaoxi, Weizhou, Liuzhou, Luozhou and other places outside the Guan. All localities relied entirely on the deterrent power of the previous Liaodong Army, and the combat effectiveness was very weak. And completely dispersed township soldiers and militia groups.

The report of the Liaodong Special Service Department pointed out that due to the bad weather outside the country in the past two years, there have been disasters and famines. Coupled with the reason why those tribes were not corrupted by the pleasures of Chen Kefu's previous plan. The Khitan, the Tata, and even the Silla, Baekje, Tiele, Turkic, Xi, and other tribes in the northeast are now on the verge of unrest. Because many elite soldiers and horses in various tribes were hired by Chen Kefu to the Central Plains battlefield. Therefore, the current force of the kings and nobles of the various tribes is somewhat difficult to cope with the increasingly violent and tense atmosphere within the tribes. There are now signs of rebellion among many tribes and small tribes, but this group of people is hostile to their previous strategy against the Liaodong tribes. …,

Therefore, the Secret Service Division suggested that a group of troops from the Central Plains battlefield should be appropriately transferred back to Zhenguanwai. And appropriately transfer a part of the tribal alliance army back to Guanwai, and hire new tribal soldiers and horses in rotation. Before seizing the unification of the heavens, we tried our best to maintain the peace and stability of the rear outside the Liaodong Guan.

Chen Kefu gave all the comments on these movements. He wrote down his thoughts, and then transferred them back to Beijing to Shangshu Province and various departments according to his ideas. Develop a concrete action plan.

Outside the hall, a guard suddenly said loudly: "Report to Your Highness, Marshal Li Jing has sent a messenger back from the front line, and there is an urgent military situation to ask for a meeting!" ”

Chen Kefu, who was dazed and confused when he saw the concert, subconsciously pulled out the Chixiao Sword, and almost immediately jumped up and chased it out to cut people. "Here we go again! Damn bastard, who wants to kill Lao Tzu and is stupid enough to use the same lift, do you think that I, Chen Kefu, will capsize the boat twice in a ditch? ”

Last time, because of that group of assassins, Chen Kefu was shocked and sweated, and Chen Lei, the most personal head of the guard, was also hit by a sword in the chest and was seriously injured. Two other Black Iron Guards were killed, and finally he asked people to look up the identity of the assassins from the corpses, but after searching for a long time, nothing has been found. He had just stopped for two days, and tonight he suddenly heard this familiar line again, how could he not be surprised.

Chen Kefu held the Chixiao Sword in one hand, and took a copper plate in his hand to use as a shield when he was critical, and brought a group of guards with him before walking out of the hall. At the foot of the long stairs outside the hall, a regiment of hundreds of imperial guards surrounded a messenger and stared at him. Since the assassination incident that night, the newly appointed guard Chang Cheng Yanjin has ordered the security level of Chen Kefu to be raised to the highest level, claiming that even a mosquito will fly over and approach Chen Kefu, and the guards must first check out the male and female.

That Li Jing's messenger was terrified when he received such a "grand" reception.

He turned his face, and Chen Kefu immediately recognized him, but this person was the old general next to Li Jing, a reliable person who could not be more reliable.

"What happened, why did Marshal Li send you to deliver the letter?" Chen Kefu smiled slightly.

Li Jing's old general had a solemn face, "Wang Xuanying and the emperor of the Eastern Capital Army, Fu Wuyi, all turned against him, they colluded with Li Mi, and today they set a trap in Luokou, almost surrounding my family." My family fought hard to lead the army out of the encirclement, and has now retreated into Luokou Cangcheng. The little one was ordered by my lord to go through the rebel scouts with great difficulty. Your Royal Highness, now the number of rebels of Wang Xuanying, Huangfu Wuyi, and Li Mi is as high as nearly 200,000, and they have sent troops to surround Luokou Cangcheng. My master is worried that now that the city of Luoyang is empty, the rebels may come to attack Luoyang at any time. Huangfu Wuyi, Wang Xuanying, and Li Mi are all strong and powerful in the Central Plains for a long time, and my lord reminds His Royal Highness that you must pay attention to the rebels using the city to respond internally, and the inside and outside should be combined! ”
