Liaodong is mountainous, the mountain roads are difficult, and the transportation of materials is generally carried by cattle and horses, but it is difficult to use horse-drawn carts and ox carts.

At this time, on the mountain road, the continuous convoy went all the way to the south, constantly making squeaking sounds. Because of this sound, the people in the south of the Central Plains called the wheelbarrow they pushed in their hands a chicken cart.

The chicken cart has only one wheel, which has low road requirements and does not require oxen and horses to carry each other, but all the weight carried is more than that of a donkey. It can be said that such a makeshift simple chicken bus can easily transport three or four stone of food and materials for the Sui army. According to legend, the inventor of the wheelbarrow is Kong Ming of the Three Kingdoms, and the chicken and bus is also the wooden ox and flowing horse.

In addition to children and skilled old people, all the Liao captives, regardless of men and women, were all transporting supplies, men pushed in the back, and women pulled in front with a rope, so that although the carts were still not much, the materials that each cart could carry suddenly increased a lot. The chicken bus was a single wheel, and the car walked by, leaving a mark on the ground like a thread.

After marching for several days in a row, after passing through Jinshan City for two days, all the soldiers of the Sui Army finally felt relaxed. Liaodong City is not far away, and it will be there in half a day. After leaving Liaodong City for so long, all the soldiers suddenly felt like they were going home at this moment. For many people, Liaodong City is their second home.

A group of cavalry came from the south, and the rumbling hooves of the horses came like thunder, and at a glance at the outfit, they knew that it was the cavalry of the Sui army. The Liao captives pushing the wheelbarrow pushed the cart to the side of the road, not daring to foot these high-flying Sui people.

The cavalry rode their horses to the banner of Chen Kefu of the Chinese army after a while, and the knight turned over and fell off his horse, knelt down on one knee in front of Chen Kefu's horse, and reported loudly, "Report to the marshal, Your Majesty has sent a messenger to Liaodong City with a holy decree, General Hu and General Chen ordered me to report to the marshal quickly, and ask the marshal to return to Liaodong City to receive the decree." ”

Chen Kefu pondered for a moment and asked, "Did the messenger who came to convey the holy decree come alone, or did he come with a large army?" ”

Just when he heard that there was a holy decree, Chen Kefu's heart still chuckled. I have to say that it is indeed very refreshing for a person to gallop across Liaodong, killing and killing. Now that he suddenly heard the holy decree, he suddenly understood that he was now just the commander of an army. On his head, there is also the Great Sui Dynasty, as well as the Great Cause Son Yang Guang.

Before, after conquering Liaodong City, he deliberately dragged out the time until after the Battle of Jinshan before he began to report to Yang Guang, because he did not want Yang Guang to send troops to Liaodong too early. Now the sudden arrival of the holy decree, calculating the time, it has been more than a month since the retreat of the army, and his battle report has passed, it should arrive at this time, it is impossible for the emperor to react so quickly, and the holy decree will arrive all of a sudden, after all, Zhuojun has arrived in Liaodong City, which is a long way.

Could it be that Yang Guang, as previously agreed, had already asked the army to come to meet him as soon as he arrived in Beiping County? He didn't believe it a little, the court clearly said that Pei Valve and Li Valve were suppressing him, this time there was such a good opportunity to kill people with a knife, it was impossible for Pei Valve and Li Valve's people not to use it.

"Back to the marshal, the envoy was escorted by a captain with two hundred cavalry, and he just arrived an hour ago, and no army came." Speaking of this, there was some loss in the cavalry's tone, after all, when they stayed in Liaodong, what the marshal told them was that as soon as the emperor returned to Hebei, he would send a large army to pick them up and return to the Central Plains. More than a month has passed now, and there is not half a army coming, which can't help but make him feel a little lost. No matter how good Liaodong is, it is not as good as the Central Plains.

Unlike the messenger, Chen Kefu suddenly felt relieved when he heard this. It doesn't matter what Pei Valve really borrowed a knife to kill, or some other reason. Things finally went in the direction he wanted, and the emperor did not send a large army to come, which means that he is becoming more and more stable in Liaodong.

Chen Kefu looked back at the generals beside him, they were also very happy to hear that the holy decree had arrived, especially Li Jie, who was full of anticipation. However, when he heard that it was only the messenger who came alone, his expression was different.

For example, Li Jie was disappointed, and what he hoped was to leave Liaodong and return to the Central Plains. As he is now, he has the position of the third-in-command in the army, but he can only be a miscellaneous man, which is not something that he can tolerate as a noble child from a wealthy family. Only by returning to the Central Plains as soon as possible and relying on his family can he have a chance to bring all this back. …,

However, Mao Yi and Lu Shishen have already been united with Chen Kefu, and they are not willing to return to the Central Plains at this time.

When Li Benlei, Liu Tiezhu, Yu Qinming, Li Shimin and other generals took the lead and heard that there were no soldiers and horses coming, they were first a little surprised, and then they seemed to be relieved. A general like Liu Tiezhu, whether he is high or not, and whether he is low or not, is a general of the fifth grade, but when he returns to the Central Plains, he can no longer bring soldiers, and he must go back to the capital to wait for death. Only when there is a war, generals of these levels can send out to lead the troops, otherwise, they can only be in the capital full of wealthy nobles, and they can only be regarded as small people in the capital that seems not low, but compared with the noble families in the capital. Especially for generals like them, who came from a poor family, life in the capital is not easy.

And staying in Liaodong City, commanding tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, can make their blood boil, only in the army, they can find their own position, find their value.

Taking everyone's expressions into his eyes one by one, Chen Kefu smiled in his heart, he knew that these officers under him had also begun to change, and they were no longer the same single thoughts as when they broke the barracks in the past. Chen Kefu is not afraid that they have ideas, it is good to have ideas, only when these generals have their own pursuits, he can better screw them together.

"Pass my order, officers above the regimental level, immediately follow me back to Liaodong City one step ahead of you to meet Your Majesty's holy decree"

Chen Kefu gave an order to the herald, anyway, leaving the city was just a long way away, and he didn't have to worry about any accidents. He was a little impatient to know what Emperor Yang Guang had given him.

Chen Kefu took the lead, with dozens of generals, including Abao Cave and Tudi and others, under the escort of Zhang Jin and other personal guards, he rode back to Liaodong City.

In less than an hour, Liaodong City was already in sight. The tall and majestic first fortress in the northeast is not in vain, the tall city tower, the city wall made of stones, all make the people who see this city shocked.

Although Abao Cave and Tudi and others had known the prestige of Liaodong City for a long time, the first time they saw this Liaodong City between the mountains, their faces were full of shock. For those nomadic fishing and hunting tribes, they don't have such a thing as a city. The Khitans all live in tents, that is, the father of Abao Cave, the patriarch of Adina, who lives in a wider tent. And the Tunguska savages who are still wearing wild boar skins, except for small cabins, most of them still dig burrows and live. They didn't even have a stone house, let alone such a majestic mountain town made of stone.

Although Buyeo City is also very large, compared with the first fortress in the northeast, it is simply a thatched house of a countryman and a manor of a rich manor.

Approaching the city, Chen Kefu, who slowed down his horse's speed, looked at them and smiled slightly, if they saw Chang'an Daxing City or Luoyang, the eastern capital, it is estimated that these people will not have their eyes dropping? However, for Chang'an and Luoyang, Chen Kefu himself has not seen it. Before coming to this thousand years, I only cared about mixing in the primitive area of Liaodong, and I had never even set foot in the land of the Central Plains, which was a pity. But after thinking about it, I am mixing here now, so that I can completely own the entire Central Plains Flower Land in the future, and my heart will be smooth.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Liaodong City is just a Goguryeo barbarian, and it should not be elegant. As long as you and I work together, in the future, this Shuai will take you to the Central Plains, Xijing, Chang'an, Daxing City, and Luoyang City, the eastern capital, so that they can see it.

Li Shimin, Yu Qinming, Li Jie, these sons and buddies from wealthy families, when they saw Abao Grotto, they had never seen the world, they also chuckled a few times, in front of these people, they always had a special sense of superiority.

"Young Master, Young Master"

A few people were talking, but dozens of people rushed out of the city gate, coming straight to them, running and shouting excitedly.

Chen Kefu was stunned for a moment, the current Liaodong City has completely become a military town, and everything is in accordance with the rules of the army. Even if they are like Li Benlei's grandfather and grandson, they usually answer in front of everyone, and they have to be called a military position. Right now, the person who ran out was actually running like a swarm at the city gate, and shouting for the young master. This made him very dissatisfied, and his brows were already slightly furrowed, and those who knew him well knew that this was already a precursor to his anger.

When those people got closer, Chen Kefu found that these people were all dressed as ordinary people, not soldiers, and looking at their appearance, most of them were young children, and some people in their forties and fifties, but they were not the craftsmen in the people's camp.

Mao Yi, Lu Shishen and other generals from Chenjiazhuang beside him suddenly became excited, reined in the war horse, hurriedly jumped off the horse, and hugged those people.

A group of people hugged each other excitedly like Zhu Mao's master, and after a while, Mao Yi and Lu Shishen led everyone to Chen Kefu's horse, and said happily, "Dashuai, Uncle Mao and they are here with the children of Chenjiazhuang, and they are resting in the city at the moment, let's go in quickly." ”

Hearing Lu Shishen's words, Chen Kefu suddenly understood that these people were all his sons of Chenjiazhuang, looking at the happy faces and concerned eyes, the corners of Chen Kefu's mouth also raised slightly, and he ......became happy.
