Chapter 439: Standing to Death and Kneeling to Life

The hand is fast, the hand is slow. If you make a mistake and bet on a good time now, let others make the first move and snatch Shandong Hebei, then Chen Kefu will regret it when he arrives.

"Immediately sent an order, so that the coalition forces in Fuyu County immediately went south and rushed to Luhe Town to meet. Another order was issued to Liaoyang City, so that all officials from Xingtai Shangshu Province and the General Staff Headquarters rushed to Luhe. In addition, he immediately sent an order to the Liuqiu Sailor Base, asking Zhang Zhongjian, the general of the Sea Dragon Guard, to immediately gather all the sailor fleets and immediately rush to Beisha City to prepare for standby. "Since you want to rob it, you have to fight the lion and the rabbit, and mobilize all your strength to launch a thunderous blow. We will never entangle ourselves in the base, so that the rest of the parties can take advantage of it. Zhang Zhongjian's Sea Dragon Guardian is a secret trump card in Liaodong, and when it is not time for Guan Jian, Chen Kefu does not want to be violent with them. Although the naval division had a lot of ships, it did not have many soldiers. Previously, Chen Kefu recruited many soldiers and trained at the Liuqiu base, originally thinking that there would be enough time. Unexpectedly, the situation in the Central Plains has reached such a point in just a short period of time.

Now the power of the Jiangnan Society is extremely surging, and in such a short period of time, it has taken over the sixty-six counties of the Great Sui. At present, there is only one Jianghuai left, and there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of the imperial court to resist, as long as they are given some more time, Jiangdu will be broken sooner or later. As soon as the Jiangdu is broken, Nan Chen's next step will definitely be to point to Shandong.

Tang Jinyun didn't know why Chen Kefu suddenly gave these orders, but he also understood that these orders meant that the Liaodong Army would fully march into the Central Plains. On this day, he had been waiting for too long, and Tang Jinyun couldn't help but move, and said loudly, "I understand my humble position, and I will give the order immediately." Seeing Tang Jinyun's steady steps down the stairs, Chen Ke got up again and stood next to the railing of the tower, standing for a long time.

Looking at the Sui army camp outside the city that was entrenched like a giant beast, Chen Kefu frowned. 150,000 Sui troops is not a small number, and most of this Sui army are border troops, and the commanders and generals of this Sui army are all famous generals of the Great Sui. The Liaodong Army fought against them, and Chen Kefu was more than ninety percent sure that he would win. However, it will inevitably drag on for a long time, and it will even cause heavy losses to the Liaodong Army. And all this is what Chen Kefu has been avoiding, first, now that time is precious, it is impossible for him to fight the Sui army here, but he wasted this once-in-a-lifetime good time. On the other hand, although the Liaodong Army has a lot of soldiers and horses on the surface, the population of Liaodong is too small after all, only about 2 million people, and there are various tribes around.

For every one killed in battle, there is one less in Liaodong. Chen Kefu must maintain enough troops to deter the surrounding tribes, and he cannot attack the Central Plains with all his might. So Chen Kefu is now also beating wolves with hemp sticks, and he is afraid at both ends.

Back in the temporary marshal's mansion in the city, Chen Lei had already brought the four tigers of the Xue family, Wan Shu, Wan Jun, and Wan Che, and on the side, one of the Youzhou generals who was full of unconvinced faces, Xue Dingguo.

Chen Kefu looked carefully at the past and found that the four brothers of the Xue family looked the same as those poured out of a mold. They are all the same with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, with big shoulders and a round waist, eight feet tall, and a full beard. The four brothers of the Xue family, although they were captured for many days, did not have half of the grievances, and their faces were still full of fierceness. Chen Kefu couldn't help but praise, and it was indeed worthy of the four tigers of the Xue family.

Seeing that the four of them were still in chains, Chen Kefu stepped forward with a smile, turned his head to Chen Lei and said, "This is our honored guest, please can't invite you, how can you treat guests like this?" Why don't you untie the five generals and take a seat to watch the tea! ”

Chen Lei greeted, and immediately several guards stepped forward to open the chains of the five people and brought tea cushions.

Xue Dingguo and his four nephews glanced at each other, and they all felt a little suspicious. As prisoners of the Liaodong Army, they also have the consciousness of being prisoners. And they are all Jiangmen families, and they are not afraid to beg for mercy after being captured. At this time, seeing Lian Kefu's performance, he was a little suspicious.

The youngest Xue Wanche was only about the same age as Chen Kefu, and he stood there and looked at Chen Kefu several times, "Who are you?" Chen Kefu arched his hand and said, "Generalissimo Chen Kefu marching in Xiamobei Road!" Today, I am very happy to have the honor to meet the Four Tigers of Hebei and Youzhou. ”

Xue Dingguo looked at Chen Kefu in surprise: "You are Chen Pojun?" He looked at Chen Kefu several times, and seeing that he was so young, he seemed to be a little unconvinced. Although he knew that Chen Kefu was indeed just a young man who had just entered the battlefield for a few years, he was still surprised when he saw it now. …,

"I have admired the prestige of Chen Dashuai for a long time, but now you and I are separated, I am an official and a soldier, and you are a thief. Even if I have been captured by you, there is nothing to say, but you can cut five of our uncles and nephews with one sword. With a knife, the head fell off and was just a big scar, and eighteen years later, we are a good man again. If you want to surrender, but you don't have to bother, we Xue family men can only die standing up, not kneeling. Although Xue Wanche is the youngest, he speaks like an elder, and even his three brothers and uncles are very supportive of him.

Chen Kefu laughed a few times, "General Xue, what year are you talking about?" At the beginning, Ben Shuai fled back to Liaodong from Luoyang and died, and he once said it to the people of the world. I, Chen Ke, am a Sui general, and I am loyal and brave to the country. However, he made trouble for the villain, slandered His Majesty, and framed me. And Ben Shuai later raised troops, and he also wrote the world, and raised troops only for the Qing monarch, except for Jiān 佞, not rebellion.

"It's just a cover-up, Chen Pojun, we are not those mountain village girls, you don't have to say that set of words to us." Xue Wanjun sneered.

Chen Kefu didn't care, and turned back to the head of the handsome seat, "What Ben Shuai said is not a lie, I guess you don't know, not long ago, His Majesty has issued an edict, spread it to the world, cleared all the wrongs for Ben Shuai, and returned to the glory of Ben Shuai." Ben Shuai and millions of soldiers and civilians in Liaodong have all returned to the Great Sui, and the crimes imposed in the past have been washed away one by one. Now, Ben Shuai, like you, is once again a minister in the same hall, speaking of which, Ben Shuai is still your boss. ”

"Impossible!"

Xue Wanche yelled, he didn't believe all this Chen Kefu said. Although Chen Kefu did not openly rebel before, he raised troops under the banner of the Qing monarch and Jiān She. But in the eyes of all those who understand, this is actually just a disguise, but in fact it is still a rebellion. Raising an army to rebel is a heinous and heinous crime, and with the current emperor's majesty, how can he tolerate such a person.

Yang Xuangan raised troops back then, but in the end, the Yang family, which was rich for a while, was wiped out, Yang Xuangan died, and the corpse did not escape the punishment of broken corpses. Chen Kefu Liaodong rebelled,

How could Zaiting pardon him? To him, this was just a clumsy lie by Chen Kefu trying to recruit them.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Chen Kefu nodded and said, "There is no evidence, it is really hard to believe." Chen Lei, invite Pei Nayan and the princess to meet, I believe that Pei Nayan is also willing to declare his will in front of the five generals of the Xue family. ”

When Chen Kefu brought the four brothers of the Xue family before, he also sent someone to pick up Pei Shiju and Princess Izumo at the same time.

Chen Lei turned around and went out, but the five uncles and nephews of the Xue family became more and more míhuò in their hearts, Pei Nayan and the princess?

Could it be that he is talking about Pei Shiju? But why is he here? As long as the officials at the high level of the Great Sui knew that Chen Kefu and the Pei family were political enemies, and there were even rumors that when the bloody night of the eastern capital last year, Chen Kefu sent assassins to attack Pei's mansion at night, but fortunately, the Pei family found out in time at that time, so as not to cause a catastrophe like the Yuwen family.

With the relationship between the Pei family and Chen Kefu, it is impossible for them to collude. What's more, Chen Kefu also said about the princess? Could it be the princess Nanyang who was taken away before? Thinking of this, the five uncles and nephews of the Xue family were even more confused.

Soon, Chen Lei came back again, but this time he was accompanied by Pei Shiju and Princess Izumo and several others.

On that day, Pei Shiju and Princess Izumo were sent out of Yanmen by Emperor Yang Guang's Western Turkic guards while the night was chaotic. Along the way, they traveled day and night, and they didn't even have time to contact the local government along the way, and went straight to Liaodong. After arriving in Liaodong, he was immediately left in Huaiyuan Town, and he didn't know the situation outside.

Pei Shiju was thinking about Yang Guang's entrustment that day, and just wanted to see Chen Kefu as soon as possible and let him delay the offensive of the Liaodong Army against Hebei. Of course, the most ideal situation is that after Chen Kefu finally got Princess Izumo, he can release Princess Nanyang, and it is best to stay in Liaodong contentedly from now on and sit as a soil emperor. Let the imperial court have time to solve the Turkic first, and then solve his problem.

At this time, what Pei Shiju and his party didn't know at all was that the siege of Yanmen had been lifted and the Turks had withdrawn. And the emperor suffered a stroke and did not wake up, the southeast half of the mountain was lost, and the main army of the Hebei army in Linyuguan Liaoxi was even more ignorant. At this time, when he learned that Chen Kefu was finally willing to see them, he was too busy to follow Chen Lei to the Shuai Mansion.

As soon as he entered the Shuai's Mansion, Pei Shiju had already seen Chen Kefu sitting on top of the house, and he just glanced left and right. But he was almost surprised, because he found that the five generals sitting on the left side of Chen Kefu's lower head were not those he knew from the Liaodong Army, but the subordinates of Xue Shixiong, who should have rushed from Zhuojun to Linyu Pass to strengthen the defense at this time.

The four brothers of the Xue family were captured and Pei Shiju already knew when he came, but Xue Dingguo was with Xue Shixiong's army, and he was Xue Shixiong's right-hand man, the deputy commander of the army. Such a character was actually in uneven armor at this time, his hair was scattered, and he was sitting in Chen Kefu's handsome mansion in embarrassment.

In an instant, a thought suddenly flashed in Pei Shiju's heart, could it be that Xue Shixiong's army had also been defeated by the Liaodong Army? Otherwise, why did Schrödinger sit in the handsome tent of Concubine Chen Ke like a prisoner?!。
