For the first time, Chen Kefu admired Li Jing so much. (Look!) WWW）

In the past, after Li Jing entered Liao, although he also commanded the army alone several times, he took charge alone. But with the combat strength of the Liaodong Army, the situation he faced several times was not a dangerous situation, so although he performed outstandingly, Chen Kefu did not feel too prominent, after all, if he was replaced by Li Benlei or Wang Rengong, Luo Zhong, Yu Qinming and other generals, he could also achieve such a record.

But this time, Li Jing's sudden outburst, the strategic strategy in the political hall, made Chen Kefu suddenly open up.

Chen Kefu walked in front of Li Jing, bowed down respectfully and saluted, "Thank you Wei Gong for teaching me, with this remark, from now on, my Liaodong Army will be in charge of the general trend of the world, why can't I dominate the world and recover the Central Plains, thank you!" ”

Seeing Chen Kefu giving him this great gift, Li Jing suddenly realized that the person in front of him was His Royal Highness King Chen. This is not an ordinary prince, or even a prime minister, but the real uncrowned king of Hebei. If it weren't for the current situation, the banner of the Great Sui Dynasty would still be helpful to King Chen, but I am afraid that His Royal Highness King Chen would have already ascended to the throne of the Son of Heaven.

When he remembered his words just now, he couldn't help but regret it. What's more, I just cared about what I said happily, but the more I said it later, the more excessive.

In fact, if you really want to say it, when the imperial court made strategic decisions, it also consulted him. But at that time, he was still cautious, and only made some painless suggestions, and he didn't even say anything against the court's strategy. Now that the times have changed, I suddenly jumped out and pointed out the mistakes and loopholes, isn't this a bit too much?

Thinking of the consequences that this might cause, Li Jing couldn't help but scold himself a few words in his heart, how many times he said that he had to change it, but how could he get carried away with it. Don't you remember that in the Great Sui Dynasty, he was still a small county in his early fifties. I'm afraid that after this incident, King Chen is afraid that he will have an opinion on himself, alas!

Li Jing suffered from gains and losses, but Chen Kefu was overjoyed.

For him, a modern time-traveler, criticism or something is nothing, and it is a normal thing. He's not a tiger, he can't be touched. For him, whoever criticizes him is fine, but there is only one key to Jian, whether you scold or blame, but you have to give a better plan to solve the mistakes pointed out. If you can't, just blindly enjoy and scold people, then Chen Kefu won't be polite when he arrives.

Like Li Jing, he just said a little ruthlessly, but he gave a better strategy, which can be said to lead them back to the right path from the previous detour, and it was too late for him to thank them.

"Duke Wei, the southern counties of Hebei are the southern gateway of Hebei, and they are the southern gate to the Shangdang of Hedong and Henan in the Central Plains. But Wei Gong also said just now that Hedong is the key to our Hebei court's struggle for the world, which can not only protect the right wing of Hebei, but also the key to the westward unification of the north. At present, the imperial court soldiers and horses are scattered, and if they attack the counties in the south of Hebei, they cannot attack Taiyuan. Attacking Taiyuan, I can't take care of the southern counties of Hebei, I don't know what Wei Gong can teach me? Chen Kefu asked sincerely.

Li Jing pondered for a moment, "Your Highness, for the imperial court, taking the southern counties of Hebei is a major event to stabilize Hebei. Only by mastering the southern part of Hebei can we advance to the Central Plains and retreat to defend Hebei. At present, Li Mi of the Wagang Army in the Central Plains and Wang Shichong of Luoyang are fighting inseparably, although there is no sign of deciding the outcome for a while, but we cannot drag it out any longer. The Wagang army had already crossed the Yellow River and invaded Jijun in Hebei, and if Li Mi had the upper hand in the battle for Luoyang, he would inevitably draw his troops and horses north to Hebei to fight for the southern counties. Once the counties are lost, the imperial court will not only be unstable in Hebei, but will also be cut off by Li Mi's troops and horses in Shandong Jianghuai at any time. As a result, Shandong will be lost to the east, and even the Huaibei River and other places will not be guaranteed. ”…,

"Then does the imperial court want to give up attacking Hedong for the time being? At present, Li Yuan led the main force to the south with all his might, preparing to fight for Guanzhong. It was when the power in Hedong was at its weakest, in case this opportunity was missed. At that time, whether Li Yuan successfully enters the Guanzhong, or Yang Yuan defeats Li Yuan and goes north to Hedong, then if we want to fight for Hedong, it will be much more difficult. Chen Kefu's plan was originally to increase the number of soldiers and horses in Hedong after the Chinese New Year, and finally after the beginning of spring, he would send a large army to attack Taiyuan from Jingcheng, capture Taiyuan in one fell swoop, and then capture Hedong.

"No, the imperial court cannot give up Hedong at this time. As His Royal Highness said, Li Yuan held on to Taiyuan before, which was a dead end. But now Li Yuan's main force is all going south, and only a few people are left to guard Taiyuan, and his main force and Yang Hui, Wang Shichong, Yu Wenhua and others will hunt in the Yellow River, which is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our imperial court to take Hedong, and it must not be missed. The minister's proposal was to immediately send an order to General Wang Rengong and ask him to organize and contact Liu Wuzhou, Yao Junsu, Liang Shidu, Guo Zihe and others to attack Taiyuan with all their might. Then he secretly mobilized several light horsemen to sneak into Yanmen, Mayi and other counties from Feihu Pass, ready to seize the counties in the northeast of the river at any time. When the soldiers and horses in Hedong were almost consumed by the Li family in Taiyuan, the imperial court gathered a large army from Jingcheng Pass into Taiyuan in one fell swoop, and directly attacked and captured Taiyuan. At that time, the light cavalry that had previously infiltrated the east of the river took advantage of the situation to seize the counties in the northeast of the river. In one fell swoop, solve the soldiers and horses of these local forces in Hedong and Longyou, once and for all. ”

Chen Kefu smiled bitterly, "How can the imperial court have so many soldiers and horses, and now the imperial court is fighting on several sides, and it has to stay in Weizhou, Liaodong, Liaoxi, to guard against those grassland tribes." The great rebellion of the clan has just been experienced in various places, and there must be soldiers and horses stationed in the places to deter them. In the south of Hebei and the east of the river, the imperial court can only fight on one side at most, and at the same time, the imperial court will no longer have any reserve soldiers and horses, which is a very dangerous thing, it is really unwise and undesirable. ”

Send all the soldiers and horses up, that is gambling. Once there is a link that goes wrong, it will cause a global collapse. In such troubled times, the imperial court must have enough soldiers and horses in hand.

Li Jing smiled, "The southern part of Hebei and the Taiyuan Imperial Court in Hedong will be fought, and sufficient soldiers and horses must be mobilized." ”

Chen Kefu was silent.

The other ministers in the government hall also didn't quite understand what Li Jing meant.

The old marshal Li Benlei suddenly said, "Is Wei Gong going to transfer troops from other places?" Liaodong has no troops to adjust, and it is impossible for the alliance countries to send troops and horses to help. Do you want to bring back Shandong's soldiers and horses? ”

Chen Kefu raised his head violently and looked directly at Li Jing.

Sure enough, Li Jing smiled, "Zhenguo Gong expected it to be good, Xia Guan is indeed planning to do so." ”

"Shandong is the left wing of Hebei, if you give up at this time, won't Jianghuai also be protected?" Chen Jie wondered.

"No, in the land of the ten counties of Huaibei in Shandong, General Qu was guarded first, and then the last general moved to Shandong. The last time the clan rebelled, and with the help of Master Zhang's sailors, the land of Shandong was much calmer. Although there were still a few peasant rebels, their power had been greatly reduced. At present, General Chen Ling of Jiangdu has the support of General Qu and the assistance of the water division, and he has basically been able to reach a draw with the Chen Dynasty, and it is not a problem to hold the river. ”

"Xiaguan has 50,000 soldiers and horses in Shandong, while General Zhang's sailors have 100,000. Therefore, Xiaguan's proposal was that Xiaguan should leave 30,000 horses to defend Shandong, continue to exterminate the rebels, pacify the locality, and General Zhang would send 50,000 sailors to be responsible for the grain and grass logistics of Jiangdu and Shandong soldiers and horses, and reinforce the two armies at any time. Xiaguan led 20,000 soldiers and horses, and another 50,000 sailors of General Zhang marched west along the Yellow River and directly attacked the southern counties of Hebei. In addition, generals such as Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin, and Zhang Jin, who were stationed in Bohai and Pingyuan counties, could also assist in the attack from the east. ”…,

"In addition, if the imperial court gathers an army in Hengshan County to the east of the river, it can also put a lot of pressure on the rebels to the north. Hengshan's army did not need to go south, but only had to wait until the time was ripe in Hedong to move into Hedong and fight for Taiyuan. In this way, the southern counties of Hebei can be recovered, even Taiyuan, which is also inevitable. After pacifying the counties in the south of Hebei, the general could also immediately lead his troops from Taihang Mountain to attack Shangdang and fight for the counties in the southeast of Hebei. ”

Chen Kefu thought about it, this plan was really good, only using the soldiers and horses of Shandong, as well as the soldiers and horses of the naval division, and some of the soldiers and horses stationed in the south of Hebei. Then the imperial court can still maintain a reserve force with sufficient combat power near Gyeonggi to deal with problems that may arise at any time.

As long as the southern counties of Hebei were pacified, then the imperial court could advance the troops and horses in the central and southern parts of Hebei, garrison the Yellow River and Zhangshui, stop the enemy from Hebei, and strengthen its control over most of the Yellow River and the canal.

At that time, Li Jing's soldiers and horses could not only attack the southeast of He, but also retreat to Shandong, or even directly attack Henan. It is indeed offensive to advance and defensible to retreat. According to the corner of Hebei, the east and east wings of the exhibition river. The west can go to attack Longlong, unify the north, and the south can encircle and seize the Central Plains, completely seizing half of the country. No matter how you choose, then the territory of the imperial court is no longer a narrow strip from north to south, and you are worried about being cut into ten pieces by others at any time, and you can't care about each other.

"Okay, just follow the policy proposed by Wei Gong. Wei Gong was the marshal of the expedition to the south, Zhang Zhongjian was the deputy marshal of the expedition, Luo Yi was the chief of the march, Qin Qiong was the marching Sima, Xue Dingguo was the vanguard of the march, and Luo Shixin, Wei Chiren, Zhang Meng and other generals were recruited, and there were 20,000 soldiers and horses in Shandong, 50,000 sailors, and 30,000 soldiers and horses in Hebei, a total of 100,000 soldiers and horses to conquer the southern counties of Hebei, completely exterminate the entrenched bandits, and recover the southern gateway of Hebei. ”

In addition, Marshal Wang Rengong was ordered to immediately unite the troops and horses of Liu Wuzhou, Yao Junsu, Liang Shidu, Guo Zihe and other troops from Hedong and Longyou, and quickly went south to attack Taiyuan. He also sent an order to transfer Li Chengli, Li Chengzhi, and Daniel Zhang to each lead 3,000 light horses out of the flying fox and sneak into Hedong to wait for military orders. ”

"Ling, transferred Yu Qinming as the marshal of the Pingxi Battalion, Zhang He as the deputy marshal of the Pingxi Battalion, Liu Tiezhu as the commander of the Pingxi Battalion, Chen Lin as the marching Sima, and Shen Guang as the vanguard of the march. Requisitioned grain and grass equipment in Hengshan County, with 30,000 horse troops and 70,000 infantry troops, thinking that they would march westward. ”

Zuo Neishi ordered Gao Shilian to personally draft the edict, the pen walked the dragon and snake, and after a while, Chen Kefu took it and read it carefully, nodded, and took the jade seal of the country from the hand of the inner servant, and stamped the seal with a snap, and ordered the province to issue it.
