"Pojun, are you still worried about the Goguryeo people?"

A group of old family members from Chenjiazhuang gathered together, drinking tea and chatting about family life. Mao Bo walked to Chen Kefu's side and asked with a smile.

"Yes, Liaodong City is now all our belongings and capital, if we lose, then our previous efforts will be in vain. And if this opportunity is lost, it is difficult to say whether there will be such a good opportunity in the future. In this battle, we can only win, not lose. ”

Mao Bo pondered for a while and said, "Actually, things have not come to this point, now we have more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, even if we really can't beat the Liao, we can temporarily retreat." As long as the Liaoshui is crossed, then the west is the three towns of Huaihua, Tongbao and Luhe. There is the danger of the Liao River, and we are about to face the arrival of winter, and the Goguryeo people will not be able to cross the river to attack us. ”

Chen Kefu shook his head, what Uncle Mao said was a strategy, which would indeed preserve their strength temporarily. But in this way, Liaodong and Xincheng will inevitably be lost, and most importantly, the food, equipment and materials looted in Liaodong City will definitely not be able to take all of them away.

The war is still fought with money, food and materials, and now Da Sui is about to fall, and at this time, it is a good time for him to plan to restore the country. And if Liaodong is lost, then his army will really become an army without roots. Without money and food, he simply couldn't last long.

"Uncle Mao, Liaodong is where our foundation lies, and there is no hope of recovering the country after losing Liaodong. I will not give up Liaodong, here is everything we have, our last hope. Uncle Mao, all the things to talk about with Liaohe will be left to you. ”

"Don't worry, though I'm half cut into the ground. But as long as you are alive for one day, you will definitely do your best to assist you and restore my Chen family. This time, these old brothers from Chenjiazhuang all came with me, some of them were civil officials of the East Palace, and many of them were military generals of the East Palace back then. Now that the camp has just been established, we have just arranged for our old courtiers to march into the army, and only in this way can we hold the entire army in our hands the most reliable. ”

Nodding, Chen Kefu said, "This is as it should be, now the Liaodong Camp Seventh Army, I lead the Chinese army, Mao Yi, Lao Lu, and Chen Gui each lead an army, so that we have four armies." The other three armies are basically under my control, and then Uncle Mao, you will discuss with Mao Yi and Lao Lu and them, and arrange the uncles to march into the army. In the past, it was the military generals who let them lead the troops, and it was the civil ministers, who stayed in the staff department of the Marshal's Mansion to staff the military aircraft. ”

After chatting a few more words, Lao Lu walked over and pointed to Ye Lisha, who was taking care of everyone with a shì woman serving tea and water, and said, "This girl is good-looking, but it's a pity that Shishen said just now that this is a Dongying woman." Hey, let me tell you, you're twenty-three years old, and I'm your age, and I've had a dozen children. You can't wait any longer, this is a big matter related to our Chen family. ”

Uncle Mao also nodded and said, "This matter, you have to have a snack for the broken army." Now that you are determined to return to the country, you should marry a wife and have children earlier, so that you can spread the branches and leaves, and then you should establish a reserve as soon as possible in the future? ”

Chen Kefu didn't expect this topic to suddenly turn here, and said with some embarrassment, "Didn't I write to you before, I got engaged to Tang Guogong's third daughter, saying that I will get married next year." ”

"I have heard of Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang, his daughter is a concubine, and her family background is barely on par with yours. However, you are old, how can you just marry a wife, and now that we are trying to restore the country, your marriage should also be able to help us. This is not enough to marry a few more concubines, or at least a few more concubines.

The big lord of the family engages in political marriages, and of course he has long seen a lot of it. But when it really got to himself, he still felt a little unaccustomed to it. Originally, the marriage with Li Yuan's daughter was already a little wrong, if it wasn't for the drunkenness that time, he wouldn't have been able to settle this family.

Lu Shishen didn't know when he came over, and interjected, "Uncle Mao, uncle, I drank with the Abao Cave and a few Khitans yesterday, as well as the one from Mòhé, but I have inquired, and there are several sisters of the right age in the young patriarch of the Abao Cave, and even the Tudi patriarch also has several daughters." In my opinion, the young master might as well find Abao Cave and say suddenly, and say that you want to take the women of those two families as concubines. ”

"What nonsense are you talking about, I haven't seen that person, besides, they are all women of the primitive tribe, you look at the hair of the Abao Cave, shaved off a piece on the left and a piece on the right, who knows if his sister will be like this. Besides, the person looks like a piece of black charcoal, and it is difficult to take a bath all year round, and he wears wild boar skin, do you think his daughter can be better? Chen Kefu said dissatisfied. ,

Uncle Mao and Lao Lu glanced at each other, and suddenly smiled and said, "I'll see it." ”

"What?"

"Young master, I know that those Khitans and Mòhé people in the city were brought back by you.

I've heard Xiao Lu say it, and I'm very much in favor of you making friends with them. Although the tribes outside the Seychelles are vulgar, they are also extremely strong. Turning enemies into friends and allies with them will certainly give us a great boost. Didn't you still swear to that young patriarch of Abao Cave as a brother before? Isn't it just to deepen the alliance between them? "That's right." "That's it, this sworn brother is for an alliance, and you take the daughter of the head of their tribe as a concubine, and this is also for a better alliance. Think about it, if you marry the daughters of the patriarchs of the two major clans, do you think that our relationship with them will not be able to go further in the future? You have become their son-in-law, and you will naturally be a family from now on. Don't look at Xiao Lu's usual hutu, I didn't expect his brain to be so smart today. Chen Kefu said with some tears and laughter, "But this is too child's play, not to mention how the daughters of the patriarch look, Guan Jian has never even seen anyone here." Although Tang Guogong's daughter is not familiar with her, I have met her once. Now that I haven't even met the daughters of the two patriarchs, I want to marry them, which is too unacceptable. Besides, if I do, they don't necessarily agree. ”

Mao Bo smiled, "You are wrong, I'm sure that as long as we mention it to them, they will be quite happy to agree immediately." Don't say marry one, you marry two or three, and they are willing to send people to you. In this way, we can also strengthen the alliance between the two sides. Aren't we now facing the Goguryeo people going north? If the two parties get married, then we can also exchange the money and food wealth for reinforcements with the two tribes, even if the two tribes send 10,000 reinforcements, this can also increase our chances of victory. ”

Lu Shishen said with a wicked smile: "In addition to Abao Cave and Tudi, isn't there also the young patriarch of the Khitan eight tribes in our Liaodong City, in my opinion, it is better for the young master to ask the eight families for a patriarch's daughter as a concubine, and then the family will send a thousand soldiers and horses, and they can also make up 10,000 people, the odds of winning will be great at that time." Seeing that Mao Bo and Lao Lu really began to seriously consider this proposal, Chen Kefu hurriedly stretched out his hand and shook it, "Stop, stop, don't say it again, if you keep talking, then there are five or six small tribes in Mòhé, do you also plan to let me ask the daughter of their patriarch to marry?" What are you guys to me? Uncle Mao put away his smile and said very seriously, "Breaking the army, although we have more than 100,000 soldiers and horses now, if we want to really succeed in recovering the country, our strength is still too small." Not to mention that the threat of the Goguryeo people is imminent at the moment, even if the Liao people are defeated, then the situation we will face in the future will only be more difficult than this. If you can marry and form an alliance with the Khitan and Mòhé tribes, I think this is what you should do. "But ......"

"Young masters, those who seek the country, should not have too many children. All you have to do is make an alliance with these two tribes, and marrying them is just a necessary ritual. If you don't like them, then you can ignore them after marrying them, so what's the matter? If marrying two women can make our recovery possible, then you should do it. In any case, it's better than fighting with the lives of your brothers, right? If it is useful for my old man to marry, I am willing to let go of this old face, young master, why do you hesitate? ”

Even ordinary wealthy families, for the sake of family interests, the children of the family can sacrifice their personal feelings and choose political marriage. He Chen Kefu is a man with ambitions to restore the country, if marriage can bring him allies, then what else can he hesitate about? Chen Kefu was silent, looking at the relatives of Chenjiazhuang in the mansion at this time, the war is to kill people.

If he loses this war with the Goguryeos, then he will lose too much.

Think about history, Li Yuan did not submit to the Turks in order to get the support of the Turks. Liu Wuzhou, Xue Ju and a large number of separatist forces, which of them did not borrow troops from the Turkic vassals. Even the powerful Han Dynasty has to make peace with those Fanbangs. The strong man did this, the Sheng Tang did the same, and the later Song did the same. In order to get the support of the Khitan, the emperor Shi Jingtang of the fifth dynasty called himself the son emperor to the Khitan emperor. None of these people are heroes, but for their political purposes, not all of them have chosen this path.

Now what Mao Bo asked him to do was not something humiliating, but to ask for the daughters of the patriarchs of the two tribes as concubines. Speaking of which, it's actually a matter of him taking advantage. The name of a son-in-law can take away the daughters of the patriarchs of the two tribes, form an alliance, and even borrow two strong troops, such a thing, no matter how you look at it, it is worth doing.
