Although there is Yang Gao, the son of heaven, above Chen Kefu, everyone knows that Yang Gao is just Chen Kefu's puppet, and the real head of the Liaodong Army is Chen Kefu. As long as Chen Kefu agrees to send troops to rescue Jiangdu, then naturally, the siege of Jiangdu will also be resolved.

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Chen Ling stepped forward and bowed deeply and said, "All the way, but I saw that the army was prosperous, majestic, and mighty." The Jiangnan rebels are just powerful Zhuangding serfs in the Jiangnan family, and as soon as His Royal Highness's army arrives, it will inevitably be like thunder and turn it into powder. ”

When the ministers in the palace heard that Chen Kefu had the intention of transferring troops south to rescue Jiangdu, they couldn't help but talk to each other, causing a commotion.

Shangshu's left servant shot Mao Xi and said, "Your Highness, send troops to Jiangdu, don't do it!" ”

Chen Kefu didn't expect Mao Xi to be the first to oppose him, so he couldn't help but say in a deep voice, "Why not?" ”

The gray-haired Mao Xi said, "Your Highness, we are far away in Hebei, and now we should make every effort to sweep Hebei and restore the place." Then we can continue south to Shandong, and then Pingjianghuai. The way of using troops is not to make mistakes. In the past, His Highness was too dangerous to use troops, but at that time, the forces of the Solid Us were too weak, and they could not win without risk. But now that we are strong and strong, our family is big, and we are just doing an upright soldier, sweeping the Quartet step by step, and paying off the universe, we must not take unnecessary risks. Jiangdu is thousands of miles away, and along the way, there are various soldiers and horses entrenched in many places, so they boldly send troops south and go thousands of miles to aid Jiangdu, but I am afraid that even the reinforcements will fall into Jiangdu thousands of miles away. Jiang can't be saved! ”

Although the old man said that the head is the Tao, it is reasonable and well-founded. In fact, these were not the main reasons for his opposition to Chen Kefu's southward movement. The reason why he really opposed it was because of Nan Chen. Although now he also knows. Chen Shen was proclaimed emperor in Jiankang. In fact, just like Chen Kefu manipulated Yang Gao, the puppet emperor manipulated by Shen Faxing. But in his heart, Mao Xi still has too many feelings for the Nanchen dynasty.

What's more, whether he is a puppet or not, after all, Chen Shen is now the Emperor of Southern Chen. In the old man's opinion, what about Shen Faxing, Li Zitong and others who controlled Nanchen's court. As long as Chen Kefu pacifies Hebei and Shandong all the way, then he will lead his troops south and drink the Yangtze River. It is not easy to regain imperial power. Even if Shen Faxing and the others can do anything, as long as Chen Kefu's forces are undefeated, the powerful families in Jiangdu have to obey Chen Kefu's orders. When the time comes, we will put things in order and regain control of the government, which is not upright and obedient.

In the past, he went to persuade Chen Kefu several times, but unfortunately, Chen Kefu was perfunctory to him every time. Gradually, the old man also saw a little bit in his heart, this young lord didn't seem to care about Nan Chen and the dynasty laid down by his ancestors. It seems that what he thinks about is more to fight the world. Another mountain and river.

The old man has always been puzzled by this, the Chen Dynasty is the dynasty of the Chen family, how can he just give it to others. But Chen Kefu seemed to think like that, and gave up the easiest path. It has to be a difficult road.

At present, not only did he ignore the Chen Dynasty, but he wanted to send troops to fight the Chen Dynasty army to save Jiangdu, which made his heart extremely shocked. If Pojun really did this, wouldn't that mean that they would no longer be the soldiers and horses of the Chen Dynasty, and that Chen Pojun's son openly opposed his father Chen Shen? The son sent troops to attack his father, which is unfilial. And so it goes. Not only does he have to bear the reputation of unfilial piety, but it is impossible to enter the Chen Dynasty in the future. No one can accept such a crown prince who sent troops to attack his own imperial court to return to the court, but I am afraid that with such a fight, it is possible that the Chen Dynasty will directly take back Chen Pojun's crown prince position.

Chen Kefu frowned, he also understood what Mao Xi cared about most. I also understand that the so-called too far is just a superficial excuse. He had said it to the old man several times. Today's Chen Dynasty is no longer the Chen Dynasty laid down by their ancestors at all. Such a Chen Dynasty is like a quagmire at all. If you think that with his identity and his father's identity, he can take over Jiangnan, it is tantamount to self-deception.

Rather than being stirred into such a big pool of mud, it is better to break it down and stand up and build a stable country by yourself. This time, he decided to send troops to rescue Jiangdu, which was also a decision after thinking about it for a long time. After such a long period of integration, the Jiangnan Chen Dynasty has basically completed the distribution of rights and interests among the major factions within the Southern Chen, and now it has once again entered a stage of expansion. …,

Jiangdu City is a roadblock for the Chen Dynasty to expand north of the Yangtze River, as long as the Chen Dynasty removes this nail, then they will have an empty Huaibei in front of them. and Shandong, which is also empty, and even Hebei, which has not yet been pacified by the Liaodong Army, may also be run by the Chen Dynasty to pick peaches.

Chen Kefu will never allow such a situation, and at this time, Chen Ling happened to come and surrender, so what else did he have to hesitate. Send troops to rescue Jiangdu, as long as Jiangdu is defended, then they can put Jiangnan's soldiers and horses south of the Yangtze River to prevent their power from expanding again. In the short term, Chen Kefu still needs time to occupy and digest Hebei, Shandong and other places, and at such a time, he does not want the powerful Jiangnan soldiers and horses to go north. With such a natural danger as the Yangtze River to defend, they were able to stop the Chen Dynasty south of the Yangtze River at an appropriate price. And if Chen Chao is allowed to go north to Jianghuai, it will not be easy to defend on that plain at that time.

For Chen Kefu, sending troops to Jiangdu was a strategic decision, in order to block the northward expansion of the Chen Dynasty in Jiangnan. For the Liaodong Army to fully occupy Hebei and Shandong, to win more time. So at this time, knowing that Mao Xi was opposed, Chen Kefu did not compromise in the slightest.

"There is some truth in what Mao Fushu said, but rescuing Jiang Du can not only save tens of thousands of soldiers and hundreds of thousands of people, but also do us all kinds of harm to our next strategy. As for what Mao Servant said about the long way and there are many unsettled along the way, there is no need to worry too much. ”

Chen Kefu stood up, walked slowly in the hall, and said confidently, "As early as the last time I went south to conquer Gao Shida, this king had already transferred General Li Jing to lead 50,000 soldiers and horses to the south, garrison the north bank of the Yellow River, and sweep the counties along the Hebei Canal such as the Bohai Sea and the Plains. And today, this king has received the good news that he is stationed in Qi County, Shandong on the south bank of the Yellow River, and Qu Tutong, the general of Zuohou Wei, has received a letter from His Majesty, the Queen Mother and the King, and has been on the table to serve His Majesty as the Lord, and his 30,000 soldiers and horses are under the control of our court. ”

As soon as this news came out, it immediately surprised the ministers of the DPRK and China. Even Chen Ling, who was standing in the hall, was both surprised and happy in his heart. When Jiangdu was in danger, they also sent people to Qu Tutong for help, but because Qu Tutong's troops were defeated by the Wagang army, their strength was greatly damaged. Later, it was constantly harassed by the three divisions of the Shandong peasant army, Meng Rang, Meng Haigong, and Zuo Caixiang, and was unable to go south.

Chen Ling knew the ability of this general Zuohou Wei, he fought with 30,000 horses and the Wagang army, won successive battles, and finally lost to more than 100,000 Wagang troops because of too few men and horses, and finally lost into Shandong, although the defeat strength did not lose too much. Later, more than 200,000 peasant armies of Meng Rang's three divisions were jointly attacked for a long time, but they were never defeated. If you can get Qu Tutong to gallop south to aid Jiangdu, not only will it be faster, but also the strength of this army will be able to protect the river.

Seeing everyone's surprise, Chen Kefu smiled slightly. When he learned that Chen Ling had come from Jiangdu, he had already started to contact Qu Tutong. When Yang Guang was not dead, although he supported Yang Gao as emperor, Qu Tutong ignored Yang Gao's edict at all.

However, as soon as Yang Guang died, Chen Kefu asked Yang Gao to issue an edict, crowning Qu Tutong Guogong, increasing the number of food estates by 1,000 households, and adding officials to his subordinate generals. Then he wrote a handwritten letter to Empress Xiao, wrote another one himself, and sent it to Shandong. After Qu Tutong was defeated by the Wagang army in Henan and retreated to Shandong, his life was also very difficult.

The Wagang army occupied most of Henan, and the Chen Dynasty in Jiangnan captured all the south of the Yangtze River and most of Huaibei. Even Hebei, which had earlier been occupied by Sun Anzu's peasant army, was along the river. They retreated into Shandong, but they were cut off from all sides, and they could not be supplied with grain, grass and equipment. In the eastern part of the mountain, after Laihu'er and Yang Yichen went north, those bandit peasant armies took advantage of the situation to expand, and Meng Rang occupied the capital Liangshan with 100,000 soldiers. Meng Haigong also has tens of thousands of horses and horses in Changbai Mountain, Jinan, and Zuo Caixiang also crisscrosses Huaibei and plunders Shandong, with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.

Although the soldiers and horses he led were excellent, the number of troops and horses was only 30,000, and Henan suffered a lot of losses after the war. was attacked repeatedly by several peasant armies, and he was already exhausted, and he could not replenish his weapons, armor, grain and grass, and the more he fought, the weaker he became. The dignified imperial army is now in tattered armor, and there is not much difference from the peasant army.

At the beginning, Qu Tutong was also Yang Guang's confidant, but he was from the Guanlong Group and fought side by side with Yang Su several times. Later, when Yang Guang asked him to suppress bandits in Guanzhong, he was accused of not entering, and Yang Guang wanted to kill him. Although many officials in the court and the central government protected him, no one persuaded Yang Guang to move, and in the end, it was Empress Xiao who stepped out, so that Yang Guang could take back his life and demote his official position.

When the mountains and rivers were exhausted, the news of the death of Yang Guang, the son of heaven, came, and Qu Tutong and his subordinates were a little desperate. If this continues, it will not be long before they will be drowned in the wave of peasant armies. At this time, Yang Gao's edict and Empress Xiao's handwritten letter came, and there was Chen Kefu's handwriting, thinking about it, and finally Qu Tutong discussed with his subordinates, but agreed to be controlled by the Beijing court and accept the court's reward.

It was precisely because of this news that Chen Kefu made up his mind even more, and was ready to transfer troops to aid Jiangdu, stop the Chen Dynasty south of the Yangtze River, and rule the river with them. I can free up my hands and make every effort to clean up the land of Hebei and Shandong.
