Chapter 518: Seven Points

Gently opening the window, the first rays of sunlight in the early winter morning accompanied by a crisp cold wind blew into the room, rolling up the dull air in the study.

The cool breeze suddenly woke up Chen Kefu, who was asleep in front of the desk, raised his head, opened his red eyes that stayed up late last night, and immediately saw the eldest grandson Wujian walking towards him with a mink fur in his hand, and the eyes that looked at him were three points angry and seven points distressed.

"Your Highness, was it all night to dawn last night? Things to do, people have to rest, if the body is tired, wouldn't it be even more than worth the loss? The eldest grandson Wujian gently stepped forward and put the mink fur on Chen Kefu's body.

Chen Kefu held the hand of the eldest grandson Wujian with his backhand, turned around and said gently, "I will pay attention, but now that you are pregnant, princess, you should still raise more." I didn't sleep much in the morning. ”

The eldest grandson Wujian heard Chen Kefu talk about his pregnancy, and he also smiled suddenly. A hand couldn't help but caress the lower abdomen that was still flat, but the smile on his face was full of the brilliance of the mother. This situation made Chen Pojun a little dumbfounded, and he was also very happy with the demeanor of the eldest grandson.

The eldest grandson stepped forward to help Chen Kefu clean up his desk gently, and when he saw several maps covering the entire desktop, as well as the handwriting written on the white paper, he couldn't help but say, "Is the situation bad?" ”

"Everything is fine, the princess doesn't have to worry about this. Your greatest task now is to raise and raise our children to be strong. Chen Kefu got up and helped the eldest grandson out of the study, and let the shì girl send him back to the dormitory to rest.

"Chen Lei, is there any latest information delivered?" Chen Kefu stood at the door of the study. Chen Lei, the general of Yulin and the head of the guard, who was standing outside the door with his whole body draped, asked.

"Your Highness, today's information has not been sent yet."

Chen Kefu nodded. "If there is any information sent here, remember to bring it to me as soon as possible." Due to staying up late for several days in a row. His face was very haggard, and his bright eyes were bloodshot.

"Your Highness, you haven't had a good rest for a few days, or you should sleep for a while. In a moment, the information arrived. I'll wake you up. Chen Lei looked at Chen Kefu so tired, and stepped forward to admonish.

Chen Kefu shook his head and smiled bitterly, "In the current situation, how can I sleep." Now is the most complicated time, and if you don't handle it well, it may have a big impact on our future plans. I've got to get it all planned, you go make me a pot of tea." ”

After speaking, Chen Kefu turned back to the study. On the same day, after receiving the news of Yang Guang's ascension to heaven in Wuyi City, Qinghe County, especially after knowing the dispute in Taiyuan City, he immediately suspended the southern expedition. Luo Yi was left to lead 5,000 men and horses to garrison Qinghe County and pacify the outside of the area. He also ordered Xue Dingguo's uncle and nephew to lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to pursue Dou Jiande and let him fight. He also left Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin, Cheng Yanjin, Li Chengyi, Zhang Jin, and Luo Cheng to lead 10,000 troops to garrison the two counties of Hejian and Pingyuan.

After arranging all this, Chen Pojun immediately led 30,000 soldiers and horses back to Beijing.

As soon as Yang Guang died, especially after Yang Guang's death, Yang Yong, the king of Liao, did not get the throne. On the contrary, Li Yuan showed his means in this Taiyuan dispute, and finally became the biggest winner. It's a pity that after carefully reading Taiyuan's emergency report, Chen Kefu almost understood that the Li family was only half successful. The Guan Long faction and the Yang Xuan faction were only seriously injured. But it wasn't really defeated. In particular, Li Yuan couldn't wait to deal with his ally Wang Shichong in the future, but suffered a big loss. This is in Chen Pojun's opinion. It is undoubtedly the Li family's biggest stupid trick.

continued to fight with the Guan Long faction and Yang Yong's faction, and even the last ally of the Jianghuai Army, Wang Shichong, could not tolerate it. Now the Li family has completely become an enemy on all sides. Especially Yang Guang actually died at this time. Although Chen Kefu is 100% convinced in his heart, Yang Guang will definitely not be killed by the Li family, it is very likely that he will just die when his body runs out of oil, after all, the current situation. A living Yang Guang will undoubtedly give the Li family greater benefits, and can make the Li family the most central and orthodox existence among all parties in the imperial court. At the very least, before they supported Yang Guang's eldest grandson, King Yan, to ascend the throne, Yang Guang's life was more important than death.

But in the eyes of the people of the world, it can even be said that under the promotion of Yang Jun and other parties who failed in the Taiyuan dispute, now everyone has spread that the Yang family launched a mutiny in Taiyuan, defeated Yang Jun and other court soldiers and horses, and murdered the emperor. …,

Under the impetus of well-intentioned people and the spread of those ignorant people, the Li family became the rebellious minister who launched the Taiyuan Mutiny, and Li Shimin became the murderer of the monarch.

This series of sudden changes undoubtedly made the entire Central Plains world chaotic at the moment. This change even exceeded Chen Kefu's previous predictions. Originally, he thought that the biggest possibility was that Yang Xuan, the most powerful in Taiyuan, would inherit Yang Guang's throne, and then Guan Long and other factions would not be satisfied, and there might be some internal wars. But I didn't expect that Taiyuan, a big volcano, would erupt in such a way after brewing for so long. The result shocked everyone.

In the face of such drastic changes, Chen Kefu and the civil and military forces in the Beijing court have been constantly making the latest contingency measures. How to turn the current situation into the most favorable one for them is what they urgently need.

In fact, these days, he has almost known the details of the entire Taiyuan dispute. In the Taiyuan dispute, the real people with the greatest interests are undoubtedly the Beijing Imperial Court and their Liaodong Army.

As soon as Yang Guang died, Yang Xuan, the king of Liao, left Taiyuan with great injuries, so that today, it is the most orthodox prince Yang Gao who is supported in the city of Beijing. Yang Gao was originally the prince of the country, as the crown prince and held the jade seal of the country, and Empress Xiao was also in Beijing at this time. At this time, Yang Gao had the greatest advantage in comparison with Yang Xuan, the defeated Liao king in Taiyuan, or with Yang Qi, the emperor's eldest grandson in Taiyuan City. And now what they have to plan is how to maximize this advantage.

After serving the hot tea sent by Chen Lei, Chen Kefu drank a large cup, and his tired body felt much more sober.

Putting down the teacup, Chen Kefu picked up a map on the table again. On this, it has been marked one by one by Chen Kefu.

The location of Taiyuan City in the east of the river. was surrounded by Chen Kefu with cinnabar and wrote a Li character. According to intelligence. Most of the more than a dozen counties in Hebei are now under the control of the Li family.

And in the city of Chang'an in Xijing, Guanzhong. A circle has also been drawn there, and the word Yuwen is written on the side. In the Battle of Taiyuan, the Guanzhong army was first raided by Yang Jin's men and horses, and later attacked by Li Yuan and Wang Shichong. More than 100,000 Guanzhong troops finally returned to Guanzhong. Less than half of the number, even Wen Sheng, the guard left behind in Chang'an, was seriously injured. Now the power of Chang'an in Guanzhong is in the hands of the Yuwen clan. There is also the risk of geographical advantage, and the Tongguan in the east is the pass of natural risk, although the strength is greatly damaged, but it has more than enough self-preservation.

Chen Kefu moved his gaze to Henan on the map, in the location of the eastern capital Luoyang. A king is marked here. This was just added yesterday, and the ink is still fresh. Wang Shichong and Li Yuan defeated the Guanzhong and Yang Yuan factions in Taiyuan, but in the end they were calculated by Li Yuan. Finally, Wang Shichong is not stupid, and he has been prepared. After Li Shimin suffered a big loss, he was very smart not to continue to stay in Hedong and fight hard with Li Yuan, but instead led the army back to Jianghuai, where he started.

However, he led the army all the way to Luoyang, but he could no longer go south, and in the south of Luoyang, he had already been surrounded by Li Mi's Wagang army for more than two months. If it weren't for the super defense capability of this newly built capital city after Yang Guang succeeded to the throne, Luoyang might have already become Li Guan's drawer.

Most of the land of Henan was obtained by Li Mi, even if he wanted to make a detour to Shannan and return to Jianghuai, it was impossible to block the land of Shannan by Zhu Cang of the Chen Dynasty. Although most of the land of Jianghuai was still in the hands of the officials of the Sui Dynasty. But Wang Shichong was blocked in the west of Henan and could never go back. And Luoyang City was besieged by Li Mi for more than two months at this time. It is also very critical, and I saw Wang Shichong's army at this time. There is no reason to let it go.

Yang Yu, the king of Yue who stayed in Luoyang, hurriedly sent several groups of ministers to persuade him to promise a bunch of benefits at the suggestion of the ministers who stayed behind, and finally invited Wang Shichong and his Jianghuai army into Luoyang City.

However, it is easy to please God and difficult to send God, in the current situation, Wang Shichong entered Luoyang City so easily, how could he spit it out again. Even after Chen Kefu knew the news, he couldn't help but scold Wang Shichong for taking shit luck, it was really a lost corner and a good place to reap. In Taiyuan, I planned for a long time, but in the end I found nothing, but I didn't expect that after passing through Luoyang halfway, I picked up a capital city in vain. It is estimated that Li Mi will definitely vomit three liters of blood if he knows this, and he has been fighting for a few months, but he doesn't want Li Mi to pick it up for nothing. …,

"Your Highness, the military situation is urgent!" Chen Lei hurriedly ran over with a handscroll.

Chen Kefu hurriedly got up, opened the handscroll and looked at it carefully.

After a quick browsing, Chen Kefu was already slightly changed. Sitting at his desk and silent for a while, Chen Kefu picked up his pen and circled the map again.

Lifting the pen, he drew a circle on the city of Chengdu, Minshu County, Minshu County, the country of abundance, and wrote a few small letters on the side, "Yang Hao, King of Qin". Yang Hao, King of Qin, was the son of Yang Jun, the former King of Qin, and was the nephew of Yang Guang. His father was demoted during his lifetime, and although he later had to inherit the prince, he was also demoted to Shu County. At this time, the chaos broke out, and the local wealthy family immediately embraced the thirty-four-year-old Qin King Yang Hao as the son of heaven of the Great Sui. Just a few days ago, Yang Hao had already proclaimed himself emperor in Chengdu, placed hundreds of officials, and called Li Yuan's father and son traitors to the country, and invited soldiers and horses from all over the world to discuss them.

Chen Kefu chuckled lightly twice and said to himself, "Have you started to cut off the emperor?" ”

Just as he was about to put his pen down, Chen Lei came in with another urgent report of military intelligence.

"Yang Xuan, the king of Liao, led his troops and horses south, defeated Zhu Cang of the Chen Dynasty in Nanjun, and proclaimed himself emperor in Jiangling!"

"Li Yuan Taiyuan City announced the edict of Yang Guang to pass on the throne, and supported the emperor's eldest grandson, Yang Qi, to ascend the throne!"

"Wang Shichong and other Luoyang officials support the emperor Sun Yue Wang Yang Tong to ascend the throne and claim the emperor!"

"Yu Wenhua and Yu Chang'an support the emperor's grandson Yang Yu ascended the throne and became the emperor!"

After reading this urgent military information, Chen Kefu couldn't help but shake slightly. Unexpectedly, not long after Yang Guanggang's death, those princes and grandsons had already ascended the throne one after another with the support of various forces. This more or less surprised Chen Kefu, originally he thought that it would not be so fast. He also thought that using Yang Gao's identity to take advantage of the orthodoxy of the Sui family to take the opportunity to co-opt some local civil and military officials and forces.

But he didn't expect that with the addition of Yang Gao who he established, in a short period of time, Yang Guang's two sons, three grandsons and one nephew will all be called emperors. The Great Sui Dynasty in the Central Plains actually produced six emperors at once.

Coupled with Chen Shen, who was the emperor in Jiangnan, there are already seven emperors in the world. Six of them are surnamed Yang and one is surnamed Chen, and this change caught Chen Kefu a little off guard.

After a while, Chen Kefu regained his composure. He picked up the map and carefully divided the power map for the seven emperors according to the military situation.

Above the seven emperors, now it is undoubtedly the largest Chen Shen territory in the south of the Yangtze River. Although the Chen Dynasty has been stepping up integration and digestion recently, and has not made any major expansions, they still own a quarter of the world in the Central Plains with the territory of the entire fifty-two counties.

The second major force naturally has to be controlled by Yang Gao, Yang Gao is the emperor of Beijing, earlier than the other brothers and nephews, and the status must be orthodox. Moreover, the Liaodong army that supported him was strong and strong, and now it has swallowed most of Hebei. The entire Beijing imperial court has a territory of 26 counties, and it is strong in the northeast.

Secondly, it should be regarded as Yang Yu of Chang'an in Guanzhong, there are natural dangers in the pass, you can attack, you can retreat, and with the support of the Guanlong Group behind you, it can be said that Yang Yu is the safest now.

The second is the Liao King Yang Xuan, who has the support of his maternal uncle Xiao and many nouveau riche in the imperial court, and his subordinates are supported by Yang Yichen, Pei Renji, Yu Juluo, Dong Chun, Tu Wanxu and other famous generals, and most of the ministers in Taiyuan City were taken to Jingzhou by him. As soon as he arrived in Jingzhou, he drove away Zhu Cang of Nan Chen, and his strength was extraordinary. However, the land of Jianghan is not the place where he originally operated, and this time the dragon crossed the river, the first thing he had to face was the Nanchen forces who were also on the Yangtze River.

Among the seven forces, the weakest real force should be Yang Hao of Minshu. However, the country of abundance is easy to defend and difficult to attack, although it is not conducive to fighting for the world, it is more than enough to defend. After all the calculations, it is Li Yuan's position in Taiyuan that is the most awkward. Although he won the battle for Taiyuan, he made enemies on all sides, and now Yang Guang is dead, and the whole world will kill him. Whether it is true or not, Yang Yu in Chang'an in the west, Yang Tong in Luoyang in the east, and even Yang Hui in Jianghan in the south, the first person they have to deal with must be Li Yuan.

Even Chen Kefu in the northeast today is his mortal enemy.

Chen Kefu dropped his pen and chuckled, "Seven Kingdoms!" ”!。
