The New Year is almost over, but the chill is still bone-chilling. The sky outside has always remained blue-gray, as if it will never change the tragedy of the end times.

The news of Chen Kefu's arrival in Liyang, Ji County, except for a few people such as Guo Xiaoke and Lu Shishen, did not know much. After arriving at dawn, Chen Kefu did not enter Liyang Cangcheng, but led his 1,000 imperial guards and 3,000 foot soldiers to be stationed on Daling Mountain in the southwest of Cangcheng.

Da Ling Mountain is in the southwest of Liyang Cangcheng, blocking the Yellow River in front, and at the foot of the mountain is Cangcheng, as the highest peak near Cangcheng, occupying this commanding height, and strengthening the defense of Cangcheng by a few points. And being stationed in Cangcheng can also avoid being discovered by people with a heart to find out Chen Kefu's whereabouts.

Chen Kefu came to Jijun in person this time, and he also deeply felt the urgency of the war in Jijun. Jijun is stuck between Li Mi and Wang Suba, and now that the imperial court wants to deal with Wang Suba, a tyrant like Li Mi will definitely not sit idly by and watch him remove Wang Suba first. In that case, it will be his next turn, Li Mi's turn.

And on the other hand, Ji County is close to Yecheng, the capital of Wang Subayan Kingdom, and holding Ji County is equivalent to being able to hit Yecheng at the fastest and closest distance. Over the years, Chen Kefu has also done some research on bandits. The bandits are no better than the official army, basically, as long as they behead the bandit court and make a war, or directly destroy the bandits' base camp, eight times out of ten. Nine, the bandits on this side will surely be scattered.

The situation in Hebei has dragged on for too long, and at present, Li Yuan, Yang Jin, Yu Wenhua, Wang Shichong and other Quartet forces are wrestling with troops in the east, west and southeast corners of the river, and this is a big war related to the future direction of the Central Plains, and he must pacify Hebei as soon as possible, withdraw himself, and join the competition in Hedong.

At this point, the whole situation has gradually become clear, and the Great Sui is destined to become a thing of the past. Everyone understands that among the nine strongest forces in the world today, Li Mi in the Central Plains and Wang Xupai in Hebei are almost out of the game. And Li Yuan in Hedong and Yang Hao in Bashu have also fallen behind, and Wang Shichong of Luoyang has gradually been dragged into a dead end by Li Mi.

In this world, the only people who really occupy a favorable situation are him in Hebei, Yu Wenhua in Guanzhong, Yang Jun in Jianghan and Chen Chao in Jiangnan. Among these four directions, the Chen Dynasty and Huaibei in Jiangnan were stopped by the Liaodong Army south of the Yangtze River, and in Jingzhou, they were forced to retreat eastward by Yang Hui's soldiers and horses. Although it seems to be a big territory at the moment, it has been on the downward trend.

Yu Wenhua and Guanzhong have more than enough self-preservation, but they are short of soldiers and horses, and they are blocked in Guanzhong, but they are not enterprising enough for a while.

Chen Kefu looks at it and looks like the real strongest opponent is Yang Yong. Yang Xuan occupied the land of Jianghan, and the opponents on all sides were not strong, and the east defeated the Chen Dynasty in a row and captured many counties. The Bashu behind it is even more unguarded. Now Yang Jin's soldiers went all the way north to capture the counties of Henan, crossed the Yellow River and attacked the east of the river to block Li Yuan. If Yang Yin is allowed to enter Guanzhong, then Yang Yin will be the base camp of the Central Committee, and I don't know when this battle for the world will last.

Leaning on the soft couch, Chen Kefu also sighed.

He is now a prince of one party, and he is still the prince of Hebei who has attracted the attention of the world, and I don't know how many people envy him. But in fact, there is no time to experience the joy of power. There are too many things to do in the south and in the north, in the east and in the west. And the one who really became the master of one party found that he was no longer as simple as winning the battle. External wars, power struggles, internal contradictions, and everything else made him struggle with it.

Just like the last purge of the Hebei clan, he knew in his heart that if his attitude had been gentle, maybe there would not have been such a big rebellion as later. Although the rebellion was quickly put down, thousands of people died as a result. This feeling full of contradictions made Chen Kefu's heart heavier and heavier. …,

Seeing that the situation in the world has gradually become clear, many people in Hebei have already told him that he will officially replace Yang Gao and establish a dynasty as emperor. After all, by now, all localities have already belonged to each other, and basically all of them have been divided into the separatist forces of one side. The banner of the Sui Dynasty has no effect, and the direct establishment of the dynasty can not only stabilize the hearts of the internal people and subjects, but also be more righteous and obedient to the outside world.

At this time, the emperor is indeed in line with the times, after all, Hebei and Shandong have gradually stabilized. However, Chen Kefu's heart is still a little chaotic recently, and finally on the grounds that Hebei has not been pacified and Taiyuan has not yet been captured, he said that it will remain unchanged for the time being. Only wait to pacify Hebei, and then take Taiyuan before officially proclaiming the emperor.

After pretending to sleep for a while, when he opened his eyes, Chen Kefu looked at the thick stack of unwatched documents on the case, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. The capital is good for the king and the emperor, but who sees the hard work behind this.

Some of these documents were official business that had already been handled by the Shangshu Province in Beijing, and they were passed on to him for inspection. Some of them were first-hand information specially sent to him by the Secret Service Department and other departments, and Chen Kefu took the top one to inspect it.

Just read a few lines, but Chen Kefu frowned. This was an urgent report sent by the Secret Service Division from Hedong, reporting the latest battle situation in Hedong.

After Li Yuan and Yang Yuan lost the initial battle at the Fen River, they slowly marched south, but three days later, they were broken by Yang Yichen's catapult, Li Yuan was defeated, and 80,000 people only fled south with more than 10,000 people, and the rest were either killed or wounded. And just when Li Yuan fled south, Li Shimin, who led 20,000 people south to attack Puban City, was also defeated.

After Li Shimin arrived in Puban, he launched a fierce attack on Pei Xingyan and his brothers who were stationed in Puban City, and successfully lured Pei Xingyan out of the city, forcing Pei Xingjian to abandon the city to rescue Pei Xingyan's soldiers and horses. Li Shimin was happy, and hurriedly sent troops to take Puban, but when he arrived, he found that Puban City had been taken by Yuwen Chengdu of Pujin Pass on the other side of the river, and ambushed Li Shimin's soldiers and horses to take the city.

After Li Shimin inflicted heavy losses on the Pei Xingyan brothers, he did not pursue the fleeing Pei brothers again, but instead attacked Pusaka with the whole army, and as a result, Yuwen Chengdu's soldiers and horses continued to cross the pontoon bridge and rushed to Pusaka, and the strength was not inferior to Li Shimin. The two fought at Puban Pass for three days, and Li Shimin lost his troops and lost most of his 20,000 soldiers and horses. On the third day, Li Shimin had to retreat, as a result, Yuwen Chengdu took the initiative to go out of the city to pursue, the two armies fought in the Shuhe River for a night, although Li Shimin had Xuanjia heavy cavalry, heavy step support, finally because he was outnumbered, defeated in Yuwen Chengdu's strong crossbow battalion, with less than 3,000 people panicked north.

At the same time as Li Yuan's defeat, Wang Shichong, who had been defeated by Li Shimin before, suddenly fought out of Jiang County again, captured the entire Jiang County in one fell swoop, and quickly went north to capture Wencheng County and Linfen County, plus the previously occupied Hanoi County and Jiang County, Wang Shichong suddenly occupied the land of the four counties in Hedong, and once again completely cut off the southeast and north of Hedong. The army of 50,000 is approaching Huoyi Pass, as long as Huoyi is at once, Wang Shichong's army will face Taiyuan.

After Huang Que was behind, Yuwen Chengdu, who successfully captured Puban Pass, also seized the opportunity to transfer troops from the pass into Hedong, and quickly captured the southernmost city pass of Hedong County. Yuwen Chengdu relied on the Pusaka and Zhongtiao mountain ranges, but in one fell swoop cut off the retreat of Yang Jin, who entered the east of the river.

Wang Shichong cut off Li Yuan's retreat in the north, and Yuwen Chengdu cut off Yang Yuan's retreat in the south.

There is the Yellow River in the west, Zhongtiao Mountain in the south, Flame Mountain in the north, and Wangwu in the east.

In the southwesternmost basin of Hedong, Li Yuan and Yang Yong were completely surrounded by Wang Shichong and Yuwen Chengdu at once. Now the north, south, east and west, all the passages have been cut off, and all of a sudden they have become turtles in the urn. …,

The confusion of this latest situation in Hedong made Chen Kefu a little dumbfounded. Yang Yong and Li Yuan both regarded Guanzhong as their target, and neither of them treated Guanzhong's Yu Wenhua as an evenly matched opponent. So that for the sake of Guanzhong, the two fought first in Hedong, but no one thought that it was the Yuwen clan in Guanzhong that they didn't care about, but suddenly came to recruit Huang Que and calculated both families in one fell swoop.

In addition, Wang Shichong, the old fox, had a feint defeat in the previous move, so that Li Yuan was relieved to go south to fight a decisive battle with Yang Xuan, but he hid in Jiangxian County, and when the time was ripe, he killed in one fell swoop, captured three counties in a row, and the soldiers and horses approached Taiyuan.

Looking at the current situation, Chen Kefu is 100% convinced that Yu Wenhua and Sure have reached an alliance with Wang Shichong, and are ready to jointly encircle and annihilate the two armies of Li Yuan and Yang Yong in Hedong County in one fell swoop.

At present, the main figures of Li Yuan and Yang Yun are surrounded, as long as their army is annihilated, and then Li Yuan, Yang Yun and others are killed, then these two forces will inevitably collapse. Wang Shichong can quickly go south to compete for Shannan and north to fight for Hedong. And the Yuwen clan can also get rid of the two forces that have been fighting for Guanzhong, and at the same time, they can also rest assured that they can compete for Hedong and Hanzhong.

It's just that this sudden change is also of interest to Chen Kefu, a spectator. Although Li Yuan's defeat is a good thing, it may make Wang Shichong break into Taiyuan immediately, and if Taiyuan is lost, the situation in the entire Hedong will also change immediately.

Stretching out his hand and kneading his forehead, Chen Kefu couldn't help frowning, things in this world are really changing. In just a few days, the situation in Hedong has changed again. It's really impermanent, and water is impermanent. What should I do? Is it really waiting for Wang Shichong to take Taiyuan first? If you really wait for Wang Shichong, a hero, to win Taiyuan, I am afraid that I want to take it back from him, but it will not be so easy.

After all, in this battle of the four heroes in Hedong, the final winner is obviously Wang Shichong, the old fox. He didn't have any loss at all, but it was a feint defeat before, and in this four-way competition, he successfully won the land of the four counties, and also approached Taiyuan.

On the contrary, Li Yuan and Yang Yong, who beat you to death, have now become fish in people's nets. Although Yuwen Chengdu took advantage of the situation to take Puban and cut off Yang Jin's retreat, Guanzhong did not have any foundation in Hedong, although Yang Yin fought with Li Yuan, but his strength did not lose much, and Yuwen Chengdu was only afraid of facing a big battle with Yang Yong.

It can't be so cheap Wang Shichong, Chen Kefu muttered to himself.
