Chen Kefu sat on the Wuya flagship of the Anlan, and sailed into the Mengjin Ferry under the escort of the three Wuya warships, the Lingbo, the Nutao, and the Zhenhai. He was accompanied by hundreds of Yellow Dragon warships and many more Blue Dragon warships, as well as a full 50,000 marines of the Marine Division.

The surface of the Yellow River was still filled with a thin morning mist, and the sky was slightly white, with a fresh breeze from time to time.

Chen Kefu stood on the foredeck of the flagship of the Anlan, looking at the shadowy fleet figure in the mist, and felt bursts of enthusiasm and excitement in his heart. After nearly two years of building, the sea dragon guard has begun to bear scale results. In the past year, the fleet of Haelongwei with his orders not only carried all kinds of goods across the sea to trade with Silla, Baekje, Dongying, Boli, Java, Lim Eup, Tangmyeong, Bunan, Tara Bodi, Shan, Johor, Temasek, Zhucheng, Xi, Anxi, Mui, Sulu, Dashi, Daqin, Bulin and other countries by sea, bringing back a lot of grain and other materials for the Liaodong army.

And this sailor, who already has a pirate background, also returned to his old job again during the food crisis last year. Zhang Zhongjian, the general of the Sea Dragon Guard, reorganized a much larger pirate fleet with his old subordinates of the curly-bearded pirate fleet as the backbone. This new pirate fleet, following the merchant fleet, looted the coastal ports along the coast where the merchant ships had explored, plundering countless materials, such as grain, cloth, gold, silver, copper, iron, ore, jewelry, spices, cloth, and other materials that could be moved. Even the golden thrones of the royal families of several small island nations on the sea, and the golden tablets of the ancestors of their royal families, were all snatched back. There are also many small countries along the coast that believe in Buddhism, and the gold and bronze statues in those temples have not escaped the catastrophe.

In just over a year, the Sea Dragon Guards were stationed on Liuqiu Island in Liuzhou in four ways, all the way to the Jiangdu City on the north bank of the Yangtze River to provide food supply and water force support. On the other hand, it was stationed on the large island of Naju west of Baekje, and was responsible for transporting grain and equipment from Liaodong to supply the Liaodong army in Huaibei, Shandong, and controlling the waterway of the Yellow River. The other two routes, one is the maritime fleet, which goes to sea to trade with other countries. The last sailor turned into a pirate fleet, followed by the maritime fleet, ransacked all the way, and snatched everything that could be grabbed back to the base.

For more than a year, the division of labor among the four fleets of the Navy Division was clear and their feats were remarkable. It not only supported the Liaodong Army's fronts in the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, but also solved a large number of food and material shortages for the Liaodong Army. Moreover, in the course of one battle after another, the combat effectiveness of the four fleets has also increased significantly.

This time, after Chen Kefu met Wang Xuanying, the eldest son of Wang Shichong, in Jijun, he immediately discovered the fighter plane. Li Tang Hedong was defeated and cornered. But Wang Shichong also made a wrong step and faced a situation of losing all the games.

Facing the two losers, Li Yuan and Wang Shichong, Chen Kefu couldn't sit idly by. The Liaodong Army is now separated from Hedong by Liu Wuzhou, Guo Zihe, Liang Shidu and others, and Wang Shichong is still separated from Wang Xuba, Li Mi and others.

For Hebei Jin Imperial Court, it is not good for them to sit back and watch the defeat of these two families. It will only cheapen the opponent of the next stage of the Hebei court. If Li Yuan is completely cornered, then either Li Tang will be destroyed, and finally Hedong will be completely chaotic and reduced to the belly of Liu Wuzhou, Guo Zihe, Yao Junsu, Liang Shidu and others. Or, Li Yuan took the remnants of Li Tang's forces to join one of the forces.

Either way, it's not a good thing for Hebei at the moment. This will only cheapen the other forces, increase their strength, and disrupt Hebei's pace.

And although Wang Shichong's situation is stronger than Li Yuan, it is not much better. Under the squeeze of Yang Jun and Li Mi, Wang Shichong, who was defeated in Luoyang, is likely to be defeated again. At that time, whether Li Mi swallowed Luoyang or Yang Mian seized the counties in the east and west of Hexi, this would be huge bad news for Chen Kefu. …,

Hedong, Chen Kefu does what he wants. Luoyang, also Chen Kefu also wants to do what he wants. The two seem to be incompatible, but whether he gives up Hedong or Luoyang, this is what he is unwilling to do.

In the competition for the world, sometimes the ratio cannot be careless. What seems to be an inadvertent thing, perhaps in the end, is the last straw that can change the power of one party. Although Chen Kefu knew that his Liaodong Army's current combat power should be above that of other forces. But in fact, the Liaodong Army entered Hebei, went down to Shandong, and defended Huaibei, and the battle line was already too long. Moreover, because of years of war, Hebei and Shandong have already been ten rooms and nine empty, and the land is barren everywhere.

It takes too much time and energy to appease the displaced people and re-produce. And before all parts of the country were stabilized and production resumed, hundreds of thousands of people and tens of millions of mouths were waiting for them on this large area of land he had laid. The foundation of the Liaodong Army was finally too weak, and the preparation time was not long. Liaodong to support Hebei, Shandong, Huaibei and other places has long been stretched. If it weren't for the officials of the Hebei Imperial Court racking their brains and trying all kinds of methods, even coming up with the idea of being pirates and horse bandits, it would have been difficult for them to let the people survive that winter.

Hebei has not yet been completely pacified, and Li Mi has been trapped in the quagmire of Luoyang, according to the plan of the Hebei court, it will not be long before they can level Hebei first, then take Hedong, and then Henan. But things always couldn't go according to plan, and Li Mi suddenly caught Wang Shichong off guard, and broke the deadlock in Henan at once. If you can't suppress Li Mi. Then Li Mi is very likely to take the opportunity to completely take Luoyang, and the situation of Li Mi, who occupies Henan, will immediately change greatly.

Defeating Wang Shichong and taking Luoyang as the foundation, Li Mi's hundreds of thousands of troops, whether they were attacking Hedong in the north, or fighting for Guanzhong in the west, or taking Shandong in the east, were no longer fettered. At that time, the most unfavorable situation was the Hebei Army, which meant that on the road to the west or south, a towering mountain would be erected.

This is a variable full of unknowns, and if things really develop to that point, it will be a huge blow to the Hebei army. At that time, the favorable situation in front of them will be completely changed, and they will have to fight a big battle with Li Mi's Wei army, even a long war that will be protracted for a long time. At that time, whether it was Nan Chen in Jiangnan, Yang Jun in Jianghan, or even Yuwen in Guanzhong, Liang Shidu in Longshang, Li Liang and Xue Ju in Hexi, it was possible to change the general trend of the world that had already become clear.

The countries compete for power, and sometimes the strongest side cannot be the last party to laugh, and Xiang Yu at the end of Qin once interpreted this situation very well. Chen Kefu did not want this kind of change, and no one in the Hebei court wanted the possibility of such a change.

And the only way to stop this possibility is to stop him before it happens.

Therefore, from the moment he met Wang Xuanying, the son of Wang Shichong, Chen Kefu had already made a choice in his heart. No matter what purpose Wang Shichong has in mind to seek unity, at this stage, he can only unite with Wang Shichong once. This is not helping Wang Shichong, but helping Hebei itself. Only long-distance and close-range attacks, from the strong and weak. In order to prevent the rise of a force that can compete with the Liaodong Army.

Never give those people a chance to turn the tables again, this is the consensus between Chen Pojun and the civil and military forces of the Hebei Imperial Court.

Compared with Li Yuan and Wang Shichong's escape from death, Li Mi and Yang Jun's complete sitting is what Chen Kefu is really worried about. Li Yuan has completely lost his foundation, even if he survives, they have no chance if they want to really turn the tables.

In order to seize this opportunity and prevent further accidents, Chen Kefu even did not hesitate to take risks, and hurried all the way to Hanoi Mengjin with 50,000 soldiers and horses. Penetrated into Wang Shichong's territory, although there were 50,000 horses with him, this was still a very risky act. …,

With the arrival of the Hebei Navy fleet, the handsome flag was under the banner of Lu Shishen, and Chen Kefu's whereabouts were kept strictly secret. Even Wang Shichong didn't know that Chen Kefu had arrived at his territory, and the only one who knew the truth was Wang Shichong's son Wang Xuanying, but he was left in the fleet and did not let him go back. Chen Kefu just asked him to write a letter and ask the soldiers to send it to Hanoi City and tell Wang Shichong.

Regarding Lu Shishen's arrival in Mengjin with an army of 50,000, Wang Shichong knew that he was half happy and half worried. Happily, as soon as Chen Kefu received his request, he immediately sent troops to come. The worry was that Chen Kefu's soldiers and horses came so quickly, as if he hadn't taken the time to think about it at all, which made him feel a little heavy, and he always felt as if he had fallen into a trap that Chen Kefu had already set.

Wang Shichong, who was full of joy and sorrow, received a letter from his son, but he did not see his son. Although the messenger repeatedly claimed that Wang Shizi stayed in Mengjin to accompany General Lu and discuss some important matters. After receiving the letter, he immediately sent a cousin with 3,000 men and horses, carrying a large amount of grain, grass, wine and meat to Mengjin to comfort the soldiers and horses of Hebei.

He also ordered the soldiers and horses stationed in Mengjin City to retreat a hundred miles, and gave up Mengjin City to Lu Shishen to be stationed, but he stayed in Hanoi City to observe the movement. Don't wait until the last moment, and resolutely refuse to go to Mengjin easily, for fear of any accidents.

However, although Wang Shichong gave up Mengjin City for Chen Pojun's fleet to go ashore and station, Chen Kefu did not let the soldiers go ashore. Although he brought 50,000 soldiers and horses this time, he went deep into the enemy's interior. 50,000 horses is not too much, but it is not too little.

But the biggest advantage of the naval division is still on the water, there are Anlan, Nutao, Zhenhai, and Lingbo, the most elite fleets drawn from the four major fleets of the naval division, as long as it is on the water, Chen Kefu is confident that once things change, he can immediately return to Jijun safely.

But once ashore, in case of some accidents, they are likely to be trapped in Mengjin City. Once you fight, it's going to be a problem. Although Chen Kefu came on an adventure this time, Chen Kefu was also very concerned about his safety. He would never put himself in danger unless he had to.

According to Chen Kefu's orders, Lu Shishen only sent a 5,000-strong marine division to go ashore and settle in Mengjin City. The rest of the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were still stationed on the river with the water division, relying on the city of Mengjin to form a water village to support each other and help each other.

In the morning light, Chen Kefu stood on the high deck of the Anlan, standing with his hands behind his back, looking up at the starry sky white before dawn. Standing at the bow of the ship, watching the long tail of the meteor visible through the swift flowing clouds. The bright red and delicate color like blood made Chen Kefu, a traveler who had never had a fear of the starry sky, couldn't help but feel secretly surprised.

Lu Shishen, who had just arranged for the soldiers and horses to be stationed in Mengjin City, strode onto the deck, looking at Chen Kefu looking up at the meteor, Chen Kefu did not look back, and asked, "What do you think this meteor is portending for?" ”

Hearing this, Lu Shishen also stood solemnly on the deck, looking up at the meteor that crossed the starry sky like blood.

Although Lu Shishen has always been rough on the outside, those who know him well know that he is just thick on the outside and fine on the inside. Although Lu Shishen grew up in Chenjiazhuang, Ji County, Hebei, he was the son of Lu Guangda, the prince of Suiyue County, South Chen. In the Chen Dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River, Lu Shi had the most commanders. The Lu family was in the Chen Dynasty, and there were many children who commanded the army, and they were really powerful families. Lu Shishen is a child of the Lu family, although he is not the eldest son, but he has also received a lot of education since he was a child.

He watched the starry sky for a long time, and his face was full of excitement and joy.

"This star was sent from heaven to glorify His Highness." Lu Shishen said excitedly, "Your Highness can see just now that this meteor is as bright as a star, and it is extremely beautiful. Just now it swept over the Ziwei Star Wall with its long tail, but in the end, when it crossed the tail of the Big Dipper, it suddenly disappeared. ”…,

As he spoke, Lu Shishen lifted his robe and skirt, knelt in front of Chen Kefu on his knees, bowed, and shouted long live in his mouth.

Chen Kefu also stunned Lu Shishen's sudden actions, and after coming back to his senses, he kicked Lu Shishen with his feet, and scolded with a smile, "Okay, you old Lu, you still make such a joke with me." Come on, this is on the deck, it's not good for everyone to see, and jokes don't matter the time of the occasion. ”

Lu Shishen looked respectful, still bowed respectfully to the ground, and said loudly, "The minister is not joking, the minister once studied the method of stargazing with his uncle when he was young. Just now, this meteor was as bright as blood, dragging a long tail, and such a strange demon star was called a disaster star on the stars. As soon as this calamity star comes out, it will be a bad omen in the world. And before, this calamity star swept past the Ziwei Emperor Star, which means that there is an omen of killing the monarch in the world. After being swept away by the calamity star, the purple microstar flickered and dimmed, and gradually moved eastward, which indicates that the world will transpose the Son of Heaven and there is a sign of dynasty change. And in the end, the king-killing disaster star suddenly disappeared when it finally crossed the Beidou Yaoguang Star. This is a testament to you. Among the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper, Yaoguang Star is also known as the Broken Army Star King, which is not only your main star, but also your name. The Calamity Star crossed the Ziwei Emperor Star, and was finally swallowed by the Broken Army Star. This is an omen, someone kills the king, the Son of Heaven of the Sui Chamber falls, the purple qi moves eastward, and the Lord of the Broken Army Star wins the world. ”

"Your Highness, this star is also a sign from above, indicating that you will destroy the monarch killer and finally take the throne of the world. Congratulations, Your Highness! Congratulations to Your Highness! ”

Chen Kefu stood there, listening to Lu Shishen's self-justifying and divine astrological explanations, and couldn't help but be silent for a while, thoughtful.
