In the early morning, the eastern sky was covered with morning glow, and it was another good sunny day.

The camp outside Jinshan City has been set aside. The men and horses in the camp were divided into three parts, one by Liu Tiezhu's Fifth Division and Guo Xiaoke's Heavy Cavalry Brigade, which was responsible for escorting tens of thousands of prisoners and transporting the supplies taken from Jinshan back to Liaodong City.

At this time, the Second Division sent two regiments of 4,000 people to guard Jinshan City, and by the way, they were responsible for the piles of materials that could not be transported away for a while. Moreover, Chen Kefu also gave them an important duty to guard Jinshan City and guard the back road for the army.

The rest is Chen Kefu with the rest of the Fourth Division, the First Division, and the Second Division, as well as the men and horses of the Sixth Division, the heavy infantry brigade, and some old and weak prisoners, and continue to advance towards Gaimu City.

The sappers of the engineer battalion allocated the camp in an orderly manner, and it didn't take long for all the tents and other materials to be loaded and packed. More than 30,000 men and horses were ready to go, and the reconnaissance battalion of the 1st Division was the first to set off to open the way as the vanguard.

Gaimu City was only a little more than a day's journey, and Luo Lin and Li Benlei took thousands of people to the north first, Chen Kefu and the others had nothing to be nervous about, and they also maintained a relatively relaxed speed along the way.

When the evening came, the army arrived at Gaimu City, which had been replaced with the banner of the Northeast Army.

Seeing the arrival of the army, an officer hurriedly went out of the city with several horses.

Chen Kefu looked at it, but it was Daniel Zhang, the colonel of the reconnaissance regiment, who hurriedly asked, "What about Deputy Commander Li and Commander Luo?" ”

"After taking Gaimu City yesterday, Deputy Commander Li and Head Luo have already gone to Fuyu City this morning." Daniel Zhang jumped off his horse and reported: "Deputy Commander Li ordered our regiment to stay, and now the warehouses in Gaimu City have been sealed, and the 20,000 people in the city are also concentrated together, and a few nobles who resisted are all on the spot." "Does Gaimu have any soldiers who were captured by our army before?" "Back to the commander's words, there are more than 2,000 soldiers in the city who were captured during the second expedition to Liao, and all of them have been registered for their humble positions, and they are now arranged in the military camp in the city, but there are no relatives of Deputy Commander Li and General Luo Lin in them, as if those people don't know their situation either. Therefore, Deputy Commander Li and General Luo Lin were in a hurry to go to Fuyu City again. More than 2,000 Sui troops in Gaimu City captured Tang, but there were no relatives of the two of them, and there was no news of them, which also made Chen Kefu a little disappointed. After all, he still hopes that the two of them can find their relatives, if they can't find it in the end, and even know that they have been killed, it will undoubtedly be another relatively big blow to Li Benlei and Luo Lin.

When the army entered the city, Chen Kefu asked Daniel Zhang to bring the officers among the more than 2,000 people, and among the more than 2,000 people, the highest officer was a middle-aged man named Yu Qinming.

"Huyalang, the former left waiter of the humble position, will see the great marshal in Qinming, and the more than 2,000 brothers of the humble post will thank the great marshal for his saving grace." As soon as Yu Zhongmou entered the big tent, he knelt on the ground and said loudly.

General Huyalang, but he is a senior officer second only to the general, general, and general Hubenlang in the first guard, and he is a military position from the fourth grade. Seeing that this person was only forty-four or five years old, but he had already held such a high military position, Chen Kefu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

"Who are you who quelled the rebellion of Wei Zhen and defeated the Turkic Right Yiwei General Yu Zhongwen as the marching marshal?" Hearing that he was also surnamed Yu, Chen Kefu couldn't help but think of Yu Zhongwen, Yu Zhongwen's grandfather Yu Jin was a famous military general in the Northern Wei, Western Wei, and Northern Zhou dynasties, and the general of the Eight Great Pillars of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and Li Yuan's grandfather Li Hu, Li Mi's great-grandfather Li Bi, Yang Jian's father-in-law Dugu Xin, etc. Yu Zhongwen has been a high-ranking general since the Northern Zhou Dynasty, accumulating military merits and being knighted as a county duke. Later, he participated in the Battle of Pingchen and served as the chief administrator. He was once a marching marshal, leading the army to break the Turks, and his military achievements were famous.

It can be said that Yu Zhongwen is an important figure in the Guanlong aristocratic group of the Sui Dynasty, but this person has a bad temper, and he once had a fight with Yuwenkai in the Yuwen valve, and later offended many people such as Yuwenshu. Although he fought bravely, he was also one of the generals of the Ninth Army who was defeated by Sashui during the second expedition to Liaodong, and after returning to the dynasty, he was also collectively put on his head by Yuwenshu and others, and finally Yuwenshu and others were reinstated, but he was an unlucky ghost who was sixty-eight years old and was killed by Yang Guang. ,

As soon as Yu Qinming heard Yu Zhongwen's name, he hurriedly raised his head and said, "That's my father, I have a mother, nine siblings, and I am the eldest son." Last year, Sashui was defeated, and I don't know what happened to my father? Does the handsome have news of his father? Chen Kefu was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that Yu Qinming was really Yu Zhongwen's son, and he didn't expect that Yu Qinming didn't know about his father.

Looking at his anxious and expectant gaze, Chen Kefu shook his head and sighed.

Yu Qinming's eyes were dim, he knelt on the ground, and said dejectedly, "The Ninth Army has fallen, and 300,000 teachers have been lost, maybe my father has gone through immortals." "Ling Zun did not die in Liaodong, he and General Yuwenshu and other arrows broke through and returned to Liaodong City, but His Majesty blamed them for losing their teachers and finally imprisoned them. The nine commanders of the Ninth Army, and the rest of the generals were all released from prison safely in the end, but Ling Zun was blamed on him by all the generals in the end, so His Majesty surrendered to Ling Zun.

Ling Zun had already gone at the beginning of the year! Although Chen Kefu couldn't bear to tell him this result, after thinking about it, he still told him directly, and he couldn't hide it for a while.

And he looked at this Yu Qinming, although he was born in a noble family in Guanlong, he was more knowledgeable in his style, and he was not like Li Jie, although he was also a member of the Jibei Army, he always drew a line with the generals of the army who were born in a poor family.

And he thinks that this person is in his forties and becomes a tiger tooth general, and it is not all because of his family background. Now that his father has died in the hands of Yuwenshu and other senior generals, and Yang Guang, this person will have some problems with those in power in the Sui Dynasty, if he can be left in the Northeast Army, it will definitely be of great help to his future career.

Now his foundation is still too thin, and only after uniting and gathering the talents around him can he grow little by little.

After Yu Qinming heard this, he looked at Chen Kefu with a dull gaze, and didn't say a word for a long time, just stunned there, as if he still didn't accept the facts he had just heard. His father, his grandfather, his great-grandfather, none of them were in high power, and even his entire family was the number one in the Great Sui rank. Although the Yu clan can't be compared with Yuwen Valve and Li Que, compared to Ru Pei Que, they are still above them in the past. But why now? His father, a prince, a general, and the head of the contemporary Yu family, is actually gone?

"Is this all true? My Yu clan fought for the Great Sui and made a lot of military achievements. Although Sashui was defeated, anyone with a discerning eye also knew that it was a crime of non-war. Why is my father alone held accountable for this sin? ”

Looking at a man in his forties who was five big and three thick, his eyes were moist and his voice was sad, Chen Kefu's heart was not very comfortable. However, as soon as I saw his eyes, I could guess some of his dissatisfaction with Da Sui, Yang Guang, and Yu Wenshu. What he wants is this result, Yang Guang has been listed as an enemy by him, and the enemy of this enemy is also his friend.

"Life can't be resurrected, although the old man is immortal, he is also sixty-eight years old, and you don't have to be too sad. The dead are gone, but the living are the most important. Do you have any plans now? If you want to go back to Luoyang, I will send a team of men to escort you back, but if you go back now, your future is uncertain. After all, Ling Zun's death was blamed by other generals, and if you go back, maybe they will deal with you again. After all, you've been missing for more than a year, so it's not necessarily a good thing to go back at this time. Yu Qinming was silent and didn't speak, and it took a long time before he said, "But if I don't go back to Luoyang, what should I do?" ”

"I don't think it's better to do this, don't let the news that you're still alive leak out. You first stayed in our army, and now the commander has also fought a few big battles, and when I report to Your Majesty, I will say that you were seriously wounded and captured in the last year, and finally you were rescued when we broke through the city of Gaimu this time. It won't be long before there will be war, and when the time comes, I will give you a few military exploits, and then I will tell Your Majesty about your affairs together, and then maybe no one will be held accountable, but you will be rewarded. Yu Qinming thought about it and it made sense, since his Yu clan had been brought down by Yu Wenshu and the others, if he went back as a former captive at this time, presumably those people would definitely not want to see a hidden danger in the future to stay by his side. Maybe he will find a way to get him down, just in case of trouble, as a big family, he has seen a lot of such things.

After Chen Kefu said a few words, he also understood.

"General Yu turned out to be a general of Huyalang, and the eldest son of the old marshal Yu, there is a way to be a tiger father without a dog, and now my Northeast Army is sticking to Liaodong and sending you to be an experienced general in battle.

If you don't dislike it, I would like to invite you to serve as the brigade commander of the officer training brigade directly under the headquarters of our Northeast Army. The Officer Training Brigade is an elite unit that will soon be formed, and the whole brigade will have three regiments and 7,000 soldiers and horses, and all of them will be the elite of the army, and will also be responsible for the rotation training of all active company commanders in the army. Such an important unit, I hope General Yu can help me bring it up! ”

Chen Kefu started his three-inch tongue anyway, and he wanted to dig Yu Qinming over. Although he is also from the Guanlong aristocratic group, Chen Kefu, who is in urgent need of help now, can't be too picky.
