Now that everyone is here, let's get started!

Chen Kefu raised his head, his eyes majestic and with a little unconcealable joy swept over the people below.

"Recently, the situation has been gratifying. I still remember a month ago, on that majestic night, I was ordered by His Majesty to stay in Liaodong. When we told everyone about this appointment, we felt the same as the heavy rain. ”

After a pause, Chen Kefu smiled slightly, "However, God estimates our army, Your Majesty protects it, and we will not only stay." And in the course of a month, we can say that we have created a miracle. With only 10,000 soldiers and horses, tens of thousands of farmers were organized to fight several battles with the Goguryeo people one after another.

Capture Liaodong City, annihilate Gao Zhen and Gao Yannian, ambush Jinshan, and annihilate Yuan Taidi. In a month's time, we fought thousands of miles, defeated nearly 100,000 Goguryeo troops, broke more than 100 cities of Goguryeo, captured nearly 400,000 people, and obtained countless money and food! ”

"I suggest that everyone stand up and celebrate the cup together, congratulating the Great Sui, Your Majesty, and my Northeast Army! We defeated the Goguryeo people, seized the first line of the Liao River, taught the shameless Goguryeo people a hard lesson, and washed away the shame of the failure of the first two expeditions to Liao! For the Great Sui, for Your Majesty, won the glory! Congratulate! ”

More than 300 people attended the meeting stood up together, holding a few wine glasses!

"Congratulations for Dasui, congratulations for Your Majesty, congratulations for Dajing, congratulations for the Northeast Army, congratulations!"

This pass is just a cliché, and everyone actually knows very well that it is actually very dangerous for them to stay in Liaodong this time. They have survived to this day and achieved such impressive results, all of which is not guaranteed by God and the emperor. All this, to a large extent, although the soldiers have also made great contributions, the biggest credit is Chen Kefu.

Such a fact is that Li Jie and others will not be the slightest bit ambiguous, and without Chen Kefu's strategy, it would be impossible to have today's situation in Liaodong. Don't talk about such a record and win 1

It is very likely that the more than 400,000 Sui troops who stayed in Liaodong had already become slaves in the estates of the Goguryeo nobles, just like the Sui army captives they rescued during the second expedition to Liao.

Of course, everyone will only say this in their hearts, and no one will say it. Everyone gathered together happily to praise the merits of His Majesty the Emperor.

After finishing the wine, Chen Kefu smiled and said, "The Great Sui will not forget us, and His Majesty the Emperor will not forget us either, everything we have done for the Great Sui and His Majesty, Your Majesty will see it in your eyes."

The blood of the soldiers will not be shed in vain, and the military exploits will not be buried. Due to the long distance, the details of the battle here cannot be fully presented to His Majesty for a while. Now, Your Majesty has appointed me as the Marshal of the Marching Mansion of the Liaodong Marching Army, and asked me to reward and promote all the meritorious soldiers on my behalf! ”

Hearing this, everyone pricked up their ears, and didn't they work hard for this moment? Success is famous, and now that it has been achieved, the next step is fame.

"Although we are very optimistic about the situation in Liaodong, we cannot be blinded by a momentary victory. Now although our army has swept the Liaoshui line, the strength of the entire Goguryeo should not be underestimated. Next, it will inevitably not be as easy as before, and the next will only be a big war, a vicious war. His Majesty had foresight in all this. Therefore, in view of the current situation in Liaodong, His Majesty changed the strategy when withdrawing troops, so that we did not have to withdraw our troops back to the Central Plains, and we must immediately take advantage of the fact that Liaodong has not yet gone north, make every effort to form the Marshal's Mansion of the Liaodong Marching Army, and then recruit 100,000 soldiers and horses, keep the gains we have now, and fight against Goguryeo, so as to wait for the army to march eastward again. ”

However, the generals present did not have much resistance to not returning to Liaodong now, but continuing to stay in Liaodong. On the contrary, with the exception of Li Jie, most people were still determined to continue to stay in Liaodong.

After all, staying in Liaodong, all of them are happy earth emperors, with heavy troops in their hands, and the sky is high and the emperor is far away. Every day they eat good and spicy food, and the money and food they have plundered are piled up, and even the rewards they have received are also full of houses. If you have money and women, you will be happy, and there will not be so many officials to supervise and control them. Who is willing to give up such a good life, once they return to the Central Plains, they will basically be transferred back to the DPRK to be idle.

If there are no soldiers in their hands, there will be no merits and no rewards, and for these generals, what is the meaning of such a day. Don't see, the marshal Chen Kefu has only been in Liaodong for less than a year, and he has already been crowned the prince of the country and worshiped the marshal! Which heart is not envious and does not yearn for. What's more, after winning so many battles, many people feel in their hearts that the so-called Goguryeo is just a paper tiger, and there is nothing to fear. ,

Chen Kefu beckoned, Zhang Jin, who stood behind him, hurriedly took a box of golden silk nanmu and put it in front of Chen Kefu. Looking at the preciousness of the box, and his cautiousness, everyone understood that there must be something very important in this box.

As soon as he opened it, Chen Dongfu took out a big seal, which was a golden seal, square and square. The whole body is golden, and on the top of the seal, there is a tiger lying down. This is the Great Seal of the Marshal of the Liaodong Marching Army brought by the Tongshi Sheren.

After taking out the big seal, Chen Kefu took out another thing from it, but it was a red gold tiger, but this tiger was cut in half from it. This is the most important tiger talisman in the hands of the commander of the army.

The tiger talisman, also known as the soldier talisman, is named because it is made in the shape of a tiger, and it is a certificate used by the ancient emperor to grant the military power of his subordinates and mobilize the army. The tiger talisman can be divided into two halves, the left half is given to the general who leads the army, and the right half is kept by the monarch. When the army is to be mobilized, the king gives the right half to the sent general to take it and the left half in the hand of the commander with the army, and the complete expression of the order is credible, and the right to move the army is the origin of the word.

Chen Kefu was only a commander of 10,000 troops before, and he was also a janissaries, so he didn't have a tiger talisman. Tiger Talisman, only the generals who lead the army alone, such as the marching chief, the marching commander, and the marching marshal, will be awarded the Tiger Talisman when these generals go out to fight.

If according to the usual practice, Chen Kefu was awarded the post of marshal of the Liaodong marching army, commanding 100,000 troops.

Then the emperor will grant him half of the tiger talisman in his hand, and then add half of it in his hand, and the two match, then he has the right to transfer 100,000 soldiers and horses.

But now he is just a light marshal, with no soldiers and no generals, some are only 10,000 old subordinates, and he doesn't have half of the tiger talisman in his hand. So in a hurry, Yang Guang simply sent him a pair of complete tiger talismans.

The pair of tiger talismans were made very small, made of red gold, and in the shape of a tiger. The section of the tiger talisman has teeth chime, and there is a row of words inscribed on the back, and when the two halves of the tiger are matched, the cut inscription is also revealed.

"The talisman of the first soldier, the right is the emperor, the left is Liaodong"

The meaning of the inscription is that the right half of this tiger talisman belongs to the emperor, and the left half belongs to the Liaodong generals.

Of course, it is impossible to transfer troops with just a tiger talisman, the tiger talisman is a token, and the supporting must have the emperor's edict. Just like now, Emperor Yang Guang issued an edict to grant Chen Kefu the marshal of the Liaodong marching army, and then issued him a tiger talisman, which means that he is the highest military commander in the entire Liaodong. With the edict and the tiger talisman, all the Liaodong troops must obey his movements, and those who violate the order can be beheaded!

Chen Kefu picked up the marshal's golden seal, tiger talisman, and the emperor's edict to announce to everyone one by one. Immediately afterwards, he took out several pieces of white silk silk, took up a pen and wrote several silk silks in succession, and stamped them with the marshal's seal and his personal seal in succession.

"The people will listen to the command! This marshal ordered Li Benlei to be the deputy marshal of the Marshal Mansion of the Liaodong Marching Army! ”

"Ben Shuai Order! Ordered Mao Xi to be the marching Sima of the Marshal's Mansion of the Liaodong Marching Army! ”

"Ben Shuai Order! Ordered Li Jie to be the chief of the march of the Marshal's Mansion in Liaodong! ”

Deputy Marshal, Marching Sima, and Marching Commander Shi, Chen Kefu appointed the three highest positions in the three marching marshal's mansions in addition to him at once. It was like a fire, which suddenly ignited the fire of the Sui generals present

Li Benlei, Mao Xi, and Li Jie got up and walked out, walked in front of Chen Kefu, knelt on one knee, and took the appointment letter! Li Benlei as the deputy marshal and Li Jie as the marching commander, this was already expected by everyone, but Chen Kefu suddenly appointed Mao Xi as the Sima of the foreign army, and everyone was a little surprised.

During the Tang Dynasty, many important places set up the Dadu Governor's Mansion, which was equivalent to the military region of later generations, and generally those Dadu Governors were led by the imperial family. The actual number one in the army is usually replaced by Changshi, so in the Tang Dynasty, Changshi was the second-in-command position in the army, higher than the deputy governor.

However, in the Sui Dynasty, in the marshal's mansion, the marshal was the boss, and it was generally held by the royal family himself, only in name. The real commander of the army is the deputy marshal, and the deputy marshals are all real famous generals. And under the deputy marshal, is the marching Sima, who is the third product, has great power, and is responsible for assisting the marshal in commanding and commanding the troops and horses. On the contrary, Marching Sima is an important position, but it does not have much power.

The history of the marching chief, from the three grades, does not command the troops and horses, is only responsible for giving advice to the marching marshal, and belongs to the secretary and strategist of the marshal. If the marshal values it, then the strategy made by the marching commander can dominate the movement of this army to life and death. On the other hand, if the marshal ignores him, then he is just a strategist without a single soldier.

The four positions of marching marshal, marching deputy marshal, marching Sima, and marching commander Shi are the highest generals of the Liaodong marching camp. And Chen Kefu, Li Benlei, Mao Xi, and Li Jie will also be the four giants of the Liaodong Sui Army.

It's just that the Big Four at this time, only Li Jie didn't have half a point of joy, but a pair of eyes were about to burst into flames.
