Chapter 73: Crossing the River by Bridge

"Your Majesty, how have you forgotten your favorite love. The commander of the broken military camp, the founding uncle of Xincheng, and Chen Pojun of the pillar country are a very suitable candidate. General Chen not only has the courage of 10,000 people, but also is good at strategy, and he also has 10,000 elite soldiers under his command to break the barracks, and he is the elite of a hundred battles in the army. Such a general is an excellent candidate to stay and take on this important task. Pei Shiju hurriedly pointed at Chen Kefu and said.

"Oh, Chen Pojun?" Yang Guang turned his head to look at Chen Kefu.

Chen Kefu laughed secretly in his heart, okay, the play has finally come to him, and now it's time for him to take the lines. It seems that Pei Shiju is really good, and he acted according to the script he guessed.

Chen Kefu smiled secretly in his heart, but his face pretended to be surprised when he heard his name, and then angry, yes, angry. Chen Kefu glared at Pei Shiju hatefully, this time he didn't have to pretend, he glared at him with hatred very much.

Then he immediately knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, the minister is loved by Your Majesty, and the commander of the broken military camp is the pro-army by His Majesty's side." This time I returned to the court, thousands of miles away, and it was the time for the minister to break the military camp to protect His Majesty, how could the minister abandon such an important duty and stay here. Your Majesty, your safety is the most important, this time back to the Central Plains, the minister really doesn't worry about His Majesty's safety. ”

Chen Kefu played a voice full of emotion, and he almost didn't shed tears and snot. It may seem contrived, but that's what I want. He just wanted Yang Guang and them to see at a glance that he didn't want to stay here. If you want to catch the old and indulge, the winding path can be more secluded.

Sure enough, he took the time to look at Er Pei and found that the smile on the corner of the two of them was even thicker. Yang Guang looked a little hesitant, seeing that Chen Kefu was unwilling to stay, he also said, "Breaking the army is my guard, and I am not willing to let them stay." Pei Qing, let's see if there are any other suitable ones. ”

Pei Shiju said, "Your Majesty, at a critical moment, you have to need someone like Chen Pojun who Your Majesty can trust." If it were someone else, the ministers would still be a little worried that they would not be able to take on this great responsibility. General Chen, although you are allowed to stay, this is also protecting Your Majesty's safety, and it is precisely because of you staying here that Your Majesty has no worries. Or, General Chen, are you unwilling to serve Your Majesty, or are you greedy for life and afraid of death? ”

Chen Kefu immediately pretended to be furious, and shouted, "Pei Shiju, since I broke the command of the military camp for the Praetorian Guards around Your Majesty, you have been targeting me everywhere, what do you mean?" Is it because I owe allegiance to His Majesty and not to Pei Valve, do you have to do everything possible to defeat me? How kind of intentions do you have, but you still have half a fear of Your Majesty? I am a loyal guardian of Your Majesty, and how can I allow you to be insulted like this? ”

Pei Shiju was stunned for a moment by Chen Kefu's move of not following the routine, "Chen Pojun, why do you say this, I am all for the sake of Dasui and Your Majesty." How could I have been a little selfish, I didn't know you before, and why did I deliberately say it. To say that I deliberately hit you is a false accusation. ”

Yang Guang watched the two ministers he liked arguing, and couldn't help but say, "Okay, don't argue." Both of them are my henchmen, everything is for the sake of the Great Sui, so why attack each other. I see that what Pei Qing said also makes sense, I don't feel at ease when I hand over such an important responsibility to others, so I still hand it over to Pojun to take on this heavy responsibility. Po Jun, if you have any other requirements, you can tell me one by one, and I will allow you. ”

Chen Kefu pretended to be very aggrieved and said, "It is the honor of the minister to be able to take on this important responsibility for His Majesty." But by His Majesty's will, there is nothing to be desired. It's just that His Majesty returned to the court this time, all the way away, and the minister was really a little relieved, according to the minister's opinion, it was better to send 3,000 people from the broken military camp to guard His Majesty's side. ”

When Yang Guang heard this, he was very happy, he didn't expect Chen Kefu to be so loyal, he only had 10,000 people, and he actually had to draw 3,000 people to protect him. Busy said, "There is no need for this, the number of people in the broken barracks is only 10,000, and it is a little insufficient to stay here, and it is not enough to divide it again." I have hundreds of thousands of troops around me, so you don't have to worry about my safety. ”

Chen Kefu hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, the minister feels that if you want to ensure that Your Majesty can return to the Central Plains with confidence, it is best for the minister to stay here for more than a month." The minister felt that if he could temporarily train some strong men from among the people, and then give them the instruments left behind, then the minister would be able to guarantee that he would be able to guard the way back for His Majesty. ”

When he made this request, he was still very worried, and proposed to train the people, naturally for the purpose of expanding the army after staying. If he stays, he can't really maintain an army of only 10,000 people, if he wants to gain a foothold in Liaodong, the army is the capital, after all, this is the meeting place of several foreign races, and without an army, there is no place to stand. However, without Yang Guang's permission, it is a big crime to increase the army.

As long as Yang Guang can open this opening for him, even if it is just a temporary people's strong without a formal establishment, he will be able to train a lot of troops in the future, just under the guise of a people's strong. It doesn't matter what his name is, Guan Jian can let him pull the team legally.

Yang Guang looked at Chen Kefu seriously, "I won't keep you here for too long, and as soon as I return to the Central Plains, someone will pick you up." If you want to train the people, you don't want to guard the four cities of the new city. ”

Chen Kefu smiled, "Your Majesty, after all, those soldiers were beaten down with blood, how can they be willing to give them to the Liao people easily." If there is a chance, of course the minister does not want to lose it to the Liao people in vain, and if there is a chance, the minister also wants to help His Majesty take down Liaodong City. As long as Liaodong City is taken, then the ministers don't even have to go back to the Central Plains, and they can hold on here until His Majesty's eastward expedition next year. Then we will be His Majesty's front station. ”

Pei Shiju and Pei Yun both smiled, feeling that Chen Kefu was a little whimsical. Although there are not many large mountain cities in this eastern Liaodong, there are some small mountain towns like fortresses between the mountains and passes, and there are more than 200 such large and small mountain cities in eastern Liaodong.

They believed that as long as the Sui Dynasty army left, it would be good if Chen Kefu's 10,000 people could hold the camp, let alone fight Liaodong. Although this Liaodong was almost crippled this time, as long as the Sui army left, the Liao people could immediately gather troops from various small mountain fortresses nearby, and then it would immediately become a fortified city that was difficult to attack.

Even as long as the Liao people know that the Sui army is gone, maybe the Liao people will immediately launch an attack on the broken military camp.

"General Chen is really joking, General Chen should not despise the Liao, it is best to hold the camp steadily, wait for half a month, and then retreat to the new city, and wait for His Majesty to send a large army to meet the return to the court." Pei Shiju said with a smile.

Yang Guang also smiled, "I just like this sharp spirit in you, okay." I now crown you as the founder of Liaodong, seal 500 households, and promote you to the general of Zuotunwei, and allow you to train the people. If you really conquer Liaodong City, then I will allow you to add ten more Yingyang Mansions in Liaodong, and all the soldiers will be recruited and appointed by you to the imperial court. I have made a note of what you said today, and if it does happen then, I will reward it. ”

Pei Yun laughed a few times, "General Chen, even if you weren't joking just now, then you must remember that it will take at least half a month before you can attack Liaodong City, otherwise as soon as you transfer troops, the Liao people will find that our army has retreated." If you let those Liao people gather a large army to attack at that time, then you will not only be useless, but you will also have a great fault. ”

Chen Kefu looked at Er Pei at this time, and he didn't like it. Not only did he not like it in his heart, but he also showed it on his face, he just wanted Yang Guang to know that he was very angry now, because he didn't want to stay, and it was Erpei who made him stay.

In fact, his heart was already happy at this time, and he originally thought that it would be good to stay. didn't expect Er Pei to take the initiative and let him stay. As a result, not only did he not arouse Yang Guang's suspicion, but made Yang Guang feel that he was very loyal, and even made a small compensation to him.

For Yang Guang, it was just a promotion to a general for Chen Kefu. In addition, Chen Kefu was given 500 household seals, but this one was in Goguryeo, and Chen Kefu had the ability to collect taxes by himself. Anyway, he felt that if he was loyal to him, it was normal to be promoted to an official or something, anyway, Chen Kefu was not promoted last time, but he was only promoted from the second rank, this time it is equivalent to being promoted to the actual position of the third grade, plus a knighthood of the second grade.

For Chen Kefu, it is not uncommon for him to be promoted to the title, but he is very rare for this general of Zuotunwei. Nominally, he is the boss of the Zuotun Guard's soldiers, but now he can't command anyone except for the 10,000 broken military camps under him, and it doesn't make sense to be the boss. However, he was very happy with the will that Yang Guang gave him to train the people, and even as long as he conquered Liaodong City, it was equivalent to having the establishment of ten Yingyang Mansions, if it was calculated according to the Great Mansion, it was also an establishment of 12,000 people, and his current broken military camp was 10,000 people, if he could get the establishment of 12,000 people, then he would be able to have 22,000 people. Even he can have a lot of people, and this people's strength is completely unorganized, how much he can train, there is really no limit, as long as he can find so many soldiers.

In this military system of the Great Sui Dynasty, it is really not easy for a general to really grasp a lot of military power. The full ** power is divided into twelve guards and four mansions, except for the four mansions that do not command the government soldiers. Although the other twelve guards are the leading bodies of the whole ** team, this army is all from one house on the left and one house on the right, and they are all about 1,000 people in the Yingyang Mansion. When I don't have a task, I go home to farm, and I only spend a few months every year to train and be on duty.

The generals of the Twelve Guards simply can't support their own troops like the generals of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, but now Chen Kefu has such an opportunity.

"Your Majesty, but please rest assured that the minister will complete the task assigned by His Majesty. The minister immediately went back to the camp to arrange, just waiting for His Majesty's army to leave, the minister immediately took over the camp, and absolutely did not let the Liao people covet the reality of our camp. ”

Yang Guang nodded, "Go ahead!" ”

Chen Kefu restrained his excitement, didn't let his face show half a point, and got up slowly, still pretending to be a little reluctant. At the end, he turned around and glared at Pei Shiju and Pei Yun fiercely, with resentment on his face.
