After taking the military capital pass and opening up the passage to Hebei, the Hebei strategy of the Liaodong Army was already half successful.

Hebei soldiers are strong and strong, but at this time, 100,000 soldiers and horses are commanded by Pei Renji and are in Taiyuan. The 100,000 was commanded by Xue Shixiong, and now it is in Zhuozhou County, with a loss of 5,000. At the beginning, Li Jingtong led an army of 150,000 troops to garrison Linyu Pass, and first fought two battles with Li Jing, losing more than 20,000 soldiers. As a result, Luo Yi attacked Li Jing's camp at night, and fell into Li Jing's ambush plan, and lost nearly 30,000 horses. Now there are only 120,000 horses left.

It can be said that in the entire northern part of Hebei, all the soldiers and horses have been concentrated in Linyu, and Linyu alone has already concentrated famous generals such as Xue Shixiong, Li Jing, and Luo Yi, with 215,000 soldiers and horses.

The heavy concentration of troops at Linyu Pass resulted in the emptiness of northern Hebei, and after Pei Renji took away another 100,000 soldiers and horses, even the passage fortress of Junduguan was left with only 5,000 men and horses. As for cities and counties like Zhuojun, they are even more empty, and most of them only have some township soldiers left. is these ineffective township soldiers, and there is not much left in northern Hebei.

Before Chen Kefu sent 3,000 men and horses to seize Nankou, after they easily took Nankou, they divided 1,500 troops to Zhuo County to meet the special service division's hijacking of the Hebei army's family members, the result was obviously a sneaky operation, and finally led the troops to Zhuo County City's old rough lieutenant Chi Jingde brothers, but directly came to a fake show, and accidentally took down the important cities of Hebei in such a daze.

Zhuojun is not a small place, it is the central gathering point of northern Hebei. Since ancient times, it has been the center of northern Hebei, and later built a canal, which led directly to Zhuo County. In addition, the Xi State on the northern border had a faint independent Turkic trend a few years ago, so the border was also very stable. In addition, before Liaodong was not reversed in the past two years, due to the continuous development of Liaodong's rapid commercial development, Zhuojun has long become a very developed commercial city.

Not only is the city tall, but also the surrounding area is directly introduced into the moat. The city is densely populated with houses and a large number of shops. In the developed commerce of the city, each line and city in the city has long had a special high bank, and each industry has a special market. The wealthy families are more likely to buy property in the city, and the land price of Zhuo County is second only to Luoyang. In the northeast, it is two major cities alongside Liaoyang City in eastern Liaoning.

There is a fortified city with high walls, as long as there are 10,000 troops, plus hundreds of thousands of people in that city. As long as it is a regular army of less than 100,000, it will definitely be able to hold out for more than half a month. But such a famous city in Hebei was attacked by 1,500 people, and it was taken in less than half a day. When I said it, no one believed it at all.

But in fact, when Chen Kefu arrived with more than 70,000 troops, although the four gates of Zhuojun City were closed, every house in the city was closed, and there were no pedestrians on the streets. But the fluttering flag on the head of the city is still the black eagle flag of the Liaodong Army.

Seeing the arrival of the army, the Wei Chi brothers hurriedly asked people to open the city gate to greet them.

As soon as he entered, Chen Kefu slapped Lieutenant Chi hard, "Good boy, I usually keep quiet, but I didn't expect that if I didn't pay attention, I could do such a great thing." Ben Shuai was very pleased and did a good job. Clerk, immediately note down the great achievements of the two lieutenant generals"

The eldest lieutenant Chi Jingde laughed a few times, but he didn't have much to say. Chi Ren, the one-eyed lieutenant on the side, said busily, "This time my brothers are only a small achievement, and the real merit is the adults of the Zhuojun Branch of the Special Service Division in Zhuojun City. It was under their planning that when we arrived, they opened the gates of the city and gave us the opportunity to enter the city. Otherwise, with the thousands of people of our brothers, it would be impossible to enter a big city like Zhuojun. ”

The Secret Service Division has several branches in the Central Plains, among which the Secret Service Division in Hebei is under the jurisdiction of the Zhuo County Branch. As a branch place, the secret service department has naturally been operating for several years, and there are countless eyeliner hidden piles, this time it was they who went all out to cooperate with the Wei Chi brothers to take this famous city in Hebei in the shortest possible time.

"Good, good, good" Chen Kefu said three good words in a row. I didn't forget to brush the short beard under my chin a few times. "Immediately call the commanders and directors of the Zhuo County Branch of the Secret Service Division to come, and the commander will reward them well."

After a while, the senior officials of the Zhuo County Secret Service Department rushed to Chen Kefu's temporary tent in the city. The Secret Service Division belongs to the Intelligence Department, and most of its personnel are kept secret. However, after reaching a high level, it is no longer a secret. Especially now that Zhuojun has been lowered, their commander level has also gone from the dark to the light. …,

However, Chen Kefu was still startled when he saw the commander of the Zhuojun branch of the secret service department, this is not the third person in the secret service department before after the chief and deputy director of the headquarters, Zhao Yue, the commander of the Luoyang branch, why did he become the commander of the Zhuojun branch He didn't know.

"Back to Dashuai, Zhao Yue is the brother, the humble position is Zhao Qi, the second in the family, and now he is the commander of the Zhuo County Branch of the Special Service Division."

Hearing this answer, Chen Kefu also nodded with a heavy heart. At the beginning, Zhao Yue had a bright future, as the third person in the secret service, but in the end he died to save himself. Patting Zhao Qi on the shoulder, Chen Kefu said, "When I was in Luoyang, it was your eldest brother who saved me, and I owe him." Since you are his younger brother, do it well. If you need it in the future, you can come to me directly. ”

"If you don't dare to disturb the marshal, you will definitely not lose your brother's face."

"Okay, okay."

Chen Kefu asked about other situations in the city, Zhuo County is the largest city in Hebei, with hundreds of thousands of people in the city. Just counting the population, it is even more than Liaoyang City in Liaodong. Moreover, Zhuojun is an ancient city, and the famous city has a deep heritage. And there are many wealthy families in the city, and it is the real economic, cultural and political center of Hebei.

Now that Chen Kefu has won such a famous city, he will naturally not let it go. He had already made up his mind that as long as the Hebei army in Linyu Pass was settled, he would move the administrative center of Liaodong in Liaoyang City to Hebei. Living in Liaodong, although safe. But after all, it is a corner of the neighborhood, and the pattern is too small. Since you have already waved your troops to the Central Plains, you have to enter the Central Plains.

However, since he has the intention of making this Zhuo County the political center of Liaodong, then there must be security and stability.

After meeting with the officials of the Secret Service Division, Chen Kefu was promoted to a general in the Shuai Tent.

"Ladies and gentlemen, yesterday we took the military fortress and successfully entered Hebei. The land of Yanyun in Hebei has always been dominated by heroes and righteous people. Now that we're here, Ben Shuai doesn't plan to leave again. Zhuojun is a famous city in ancient times, and it is also the most prosperous city in Hebei today. Ben Shuai intends to move the Generalissimo Mansion in Liaoyang City to Zhuo County one day, so the first task at the moment is to immediately clear the whole city. ”

After pointing out the importance of Zhuojun to the Liaodong Army, Chen Kefu ordered that all the people in the city must be reorganized in accordance with the previous management methods of various places in Liaodong. Zhuojun City will soon appoint a new Taishou, and all the people in the city, regardless of whether they are rich or poor, must go to the Taishou Mansion to apply for ID cards. It is a foreign population, as long as they enter and leave the city gate, they must register, and those who stay in the city for more than three days must apply for a temporary residence permit. And in the city, the armor protection system is implemented to carry out joint insurance. However, if one family makes trouble, and the rest fail to report it in time, they will all sit together.

And for those wealthy families, Chen Kefu has long been on guard. All big families are not allowed to possess swords, weapons, weapons and armor without permission, and those who possess them privately will be exiled to Liaodong. All wealthy families are not allowed to have more than ten guards per household.

And in order to further control them, these people in the province are messing around. Chen Kefu ordered that all middle-aged and male children of large families, that is, those over the age of 12 and under the age of 21, should go to the academy in the city to receive education. It's called education, and it's actually about using these young children as protons. In the current situation in Hebei, this is one of the most effective ways for the Liaodong Army to control those big families.

After further deliberation, the civil side of the discussion was temporarily completed. The Liaodong Army had money and food, and did not intend to immediately collect taxes on the newly occupied land in Hebei. And in order to maintain Hebei's economic prosperity, Chen Kefu has not interfered with most of the current policies. The specific situation will have to be left to those civil officials in Daxingtai Province in eastern Liaodong to decide. At present, the most important task of the Liaodong Army is still military, as long as Hebei is taken and the Hebei Army is defeated, it can be regarded as the real Hebei in hand.

Several marching staff officers quickly set up a Hebei sand table in the big tent, and immediately the mountains, rivers, and cities of Hebei were unobstructed. Chen Kefu held a wooden pole in his hand, pointed to the sand table and said, "Generals, we are now from Hebei Zhengbei Army is locked up in Yan." At present, the army is in hand, and to the east of us is the 210,000 Hebei Army at Linyu Pass. To the west of us is the land east of the river, where an army of 600,000 men is now gathered. To the south of us, there are now hundreds of thousands of peasant troops in Bohai and other places, and 150,000 troops in Wagang, Henan. Looking at our three sides, we gathered nearly a million soldiers and horses. ”

This figure is not Chen Kefu's nonsense, but a fact. An army of millions, this is not an imaginary number, but a real number. So although the first step has been successfully completed at the moment, entering Hebei. But if you make such a mistake, you may fall into the abyss.

Yu Qinming looked at the sand table and pondered for a while and said, "Dashuai, there are strong enemies on three sides, how should we act?" It faces the Yuguan Hebei Army in the east, the imperial court army in the west, the Hebei peasant army in the southeast, and the Henan Wagang Army in the southwest. None of these four parties is a soft persimmon, and the subordinates dare to bet that if any of them learns that our Liaodong Army has entered Hebei, they will definitely not sit idly by, and they will definitely react at that time. ”……，
