Chen Kefu laughed a few times, "If Xue Shuai could say this a few days earlier, Ben Shuai would naturally be very happy." can meet a famous general like Xue Shuai, and he is naturally willing to fight against each other. But now, it's too late. "Why?"

Xue Dingguo on the side was already on the side and said loudly, "Big brother, just yesterday, Lord Pei of the imperial court has personally rushed to Liaodong to read His Majesty's edict to Chen Dashuai. His Majesty's edict not only exempted the previous imperial court from the responsibility of Chen Dashuai and the soldiers and people of Liaodong, but also the imperial court has added the title of Dashuai as Situ, Shangshu Provincial Shangshu Order, plus the rank of Commander of the Dynasty, the generalissimo of the Mobei Road March, and the post of Liaodong Dao Daxing Taishang Shuling, in charge of the soldiers and horses of the fifteen counties of Liaodong, Liaoxi, and Murowei. "Impossible!" After hearing this, Xue Shixiong said coldly, "Chen Pojun, don't you think that everyone in the world is a fool. Although Dingguo is usually brave, but less resourceful, Ben Shuai doesn't know what method you used to deceive Dingguo, but you can't deceive Ben Shuai. Today, if you just break the sky, Ben Shuai will not believe your lies. Xue Wanche on the other side also said hurriedly, "Father, what my uncle said is true." His Majesty not only crowned Chen Dashuai with these official positions, but also issued a decree to give marriage, so that Chen Dashuai is still Princess Izumo, and now Princess Izumo has followed Pei Nayan to Liaodong. We've all seen it, and not only that,

His Majesty has also crowned Chen Dashuai as the king of Northern Chen County. ，…

"Impossible, impossible, this can't be!" Xue Shixiong was a little dumbfounded, if it was possible for his cousin Xue Dingguo, who had always been lawless, to lie, then it was impossible for his youngest son Xue Wanche to tell such a shocking lie to himself. What happened now surprised him so much that his mind was confused, and it was difficult to accept it for a while. As a member of the imperial court, he commanded tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and he was on the frontier for a long time. He naturally understands the essence of some things better than his sons, no matter which emperor it is, it is impossible to tolerate a rebellious minister like Chen Kefu, not to mention that this is not only not Zhao'an, but also a higher official and a princess, a princess, and a different king.

If all this is true, then there is a big problem behind it. Sitting on the horse and silent for a while, Xue Shixiong immediately thought of the matter in Hedong. Hedong is far away from Linyu Mountain, and the news of the siege of Yanmen has not yet reached the Hebei army. So after thinking about it, Xue Shixiong felt that the situation in Yanmen must have gotten worse, and Linyu Guan had sent two critical reports to the emperor before.

On one side was the siege of the Yanmen Turks, and on the other hand, the Liaodong rebels entered the Central Plains and the guards were in danger. Maybe the emperor will suddenly treat Chen Kefu like this after weighing the two sides, and all this must be just a delaying tactic. Soon, Xue Shixiong had already calculated the things before and after. After straightening out the front and back, Xue Shixiong finally understood the situation in front of him.

As the commander of the first army, he certainly understood what the emperor meant. The emperor wanted that Hebei would not have another accident, and that the imperial court could concentrate on solving the Turks first and then turning to the east. Thinking about this, he naturally knows how to make trade-offs. In the end, it was decided that according to the emperor's wishes, he would lead the army to retreat to Linyu Pass, and wait for the imperial army to deal with the Turks first. At present, although the strength of the Hebei Army and the Liaodong Army is almost the same, after the war, the Hebei Army will inevitably lose its troops. Even if you retreat to Linyu, you will not be able to replenish your troops for a while. However, the Liaodong rebels still have at least 200,000 troops, and how the rebels attack Linyu again, he will be powerless. If he loses the Linyu Xiongguan because of this and allows the Liaodong rebels to enter Hebei, then he will be a sinner of the imperial court.

Most of Xue Shixiong's calculations were correct, but unfortunately these were only the situations during the siege of Yanmen. And now that the siege of Yanmen has been resolved, the emperor is unconscious. If he knew these latest developments, he would definitely reconsider the situation in front of him.

Although Xue Shixiong had already made a decision in his heart, he still said coldly, "Just a few words from you, how can Ben Shuai believe it?" What about His Majesty's edict? What about the propagandist of Penayan? Chen Kefu waved back, and in the Liaodong Army formation, he rushed out a few more horses. One of them was wearing a green sè official robe, and at first glance he was just a petty official of six or seven grades.

"Xue Shuai, this is Lord Huang Ying, the general secretary who followed Pei Nayan from Yanmen to announce the decree. Master Pei traveled day and night all the way, and his body suffered from some cold, Ben Shuai has found a famous doctor to diagnose and treat him, and now he has been sent to Liaoyang City to recuperate. Although Lord Huang is not the official envoy of this trip, he is also a proclamator. Xue Shuai wants to read the edict, I have already handed it over to Lord Huang, and Lord Xue can let Lord Huang hand it over to you for a look. ”…,

Huang Ying over there also took out the holy decree from his arms, stepped forward with his horse, and handed it to Xue Shixiong.

Xue Shixiong had already believed in the Holy Decree, but at this time it was just a show. After a few casual glances, he handed it back to Huang Ying.

"The King of the County!" Xue Shixiong immediately gave Chen Ke a new salute, "Now that the king of the county has led Liaodong back to the imperial court, this is not only the blessing of Liaodong, but also the blessing of the people of the Central Plains."

Now that the matter has been clear, the Hebei Army and the Liaodong Army have also been re-robbed. In this case, this Liaodong is still the defense area of the county king, and the Hebei army of the commander does not stay. Without further ado, Ben Shuai will return to Hebei now. However, before leaving, Ben Shuai still has a reluctant request, and he must be fulfilled by the king of the county. Chen Kefu was slightly surprised when he saw that Xue Shixiong was so neat and neat. At this time, when I heard that he still had a request, I didn't think about it, "Please say, as long as this county can do it, I will never refuse." Xue Shixiong bent down again and saluted Chen Kefu: "That handsome man thanked the king of the county first." In fact, it's not a big deal, the king of the county is the re-stove of the imperial court, the more than 10,000 prisoners who fell into the hands of the Liaodong Army with the four dogs of my family that day, and the thousands of prisoners who were captured with General Xue Dingguo yesterday, I hope that the king of the county can remember the friendship in the army, let them return to the Hebei military camp, and return to Hebei to reunite with their families. Hearing such a request, Chen Kefu was not surprised. However, there were quite a few of these captives, adding up to nearly 20,000 horses. He also knew his own situation, the so-called King of Beichen County was just a measure used by Yang Guang to delay the army, and he borrowed a meaningless name that he occasionally used.

The Liaodong Army was about to leave Liaodong, but the Hebei Army was stuck on the road it had to pass. Sooner or later, the two sides will still have to fight it out, and now it will be returned, which is tantamount to letting the tiger return to the mountain. Chen Kefu didn't plan to do such a thing.

After turning around in his mind a few times, Chen Kefu smiled and said, "Xue Shuai doesn't know that my Liaodong Army and Hebei Army were friends and enemies that day. These captured brothers, according to the usual practice, we all gave two rebels, or joined Liaodong, we gave land to them, and even helped them arrange for a Liaodong woman to start a family. If you don't join Liaodong, you can only be a slave and open mines in various mines in Liaodong. The wealth and prosperity of the people of Liaodong are known to the whole world, and as soon as this condition came out, all the captured brothers chose to join Liaodong. Now they have already married wives in Liaodong and divided the land. The marshal asks for this, and the marshal is only afraid that he can't do anything. After all, it was tens of thousands of families, could Xue Shuai bear to break up? Xue Shixiong was angry in his heart when he heard such a scoundrel, and he said with anger on his face: "Then what about these people's families in the Central Plains?" Most of them also have wives, sons, daughters, and parents in the Central Plains, is this okay? …

"Of course not, we can also let their families connect to Liaodong. We don't have anything else in Liaodong, but we have a lot of fields and a lot of land, as long as we bring our families, we can still give the land. ”

Xue Shixiong gritted his teeth and said, "Then we can also let those captives take the woman they just married back to the Central Plains." ”

Chen Kefu smiled and said, "I'm afraid that they may not be willing, and now the life in the Central Plains is not easy." Not to mention the fields, even if you are full, it is difficult to eat a bite. In my opinion, it is better to let those brothers choose for themselves, and we will not stop those who are willing to return to the Central Plains. But if they don't want to go back, I also hope that Xue Shi can send their family to Liaodong. ”

Xue Shixiong's teeth were already itching with anger, but looking at Chen Kefu's dead face, it was estimated that it was pointless to entangle. I had no choice but to say coldly, "This matter is very important, this marshal can't make the decision, this marshal will truthfully report all the situation to the court and His Majesty, and then everything will be decided by them." ”

Chen Kefu didn't care, he only married Xue Shixiong and now he can't take them away, which of these people can snatch them away. "Okay, just wait for Your Majesty's Sacred Heart to decide!"

"Okay, Dingguo, Wanshu, Wanshu, Wanjun, Wanche, come and follow me back to Hebei."

Xue Shixiong is no longer entangled, and plans to return to Hebei immediately.

When the five uncles and nephews of the Xue family heard this, they immediately prepared to go over. Chen Kefu glanced at him, and Wei Chi Jingde and other Liaodong generals had already stretched out their hands to stop them. Xue Shixiong was already holding his hand on the horizontal knife, and said in a deep voice, "Chen Pojun, what do you mean by this?" Do you think that these people from my Xue family will still covet a few acres of thin fields in Liaodong, and a few indigenous women are willing to stay in Liaodong? ”…,

"No, Xue Shuai misunderstood. The Xue family, how could they see the bitter place of Liaodong. Ben Shuai left a few generals Xue, in fact, he asked them for help with something. ”

"Help? It depends on what they mean, they can stay and help, or they can stay and not help, is it difficult? ”

Chen Kefu nodded, "It's true, Ben Shuai just asked them for help, but he didn't intend to force them, everything depends on their wishes." If they want to help again, they will naturally choose to stay, and if they are not willing to help, they can choose to go back with Xue Shuai. ”

When Xue Shixiong heard this, he couldn't help but let go of the hand on the handle of the knife, and stroked his sparse beard, "If you want to help, please say." ”

When Chen Kefu saw his appearance, he smiled proudly in his heart, the four tigers of the Xue family plus one Xue Dingguo, but they are all fierce generals, how can such a person be easily put back into the Hebei army. Chen Kefu has been thinking about the way to keep them for a long time. He didn't believe that if he said this reason, Xue Shixiong would still oppose it.

Riding a few steps forward, Chen Kefu walked in front of Xue Shixiong, and said softly, "Presumably Xue Shuai also knows that this time the Turks suddenly went south, and the 300,000 army has already besieged His Majesty in Yanmen, right?" ”

Xue Shixiong nodded, this matter is known today, and it is not a secret.

"Your Majesty was surrounded by Hu Lu in Yanmen, which is not only a shame for every soldier, but also a shame for every court official, and even a shame for every Han Chinese. The Lord is worried about the humiliation of the ministers, and the Lord is humiliated by the death of the ministers. At such a moment, how can we, as commanders of the army, sit idly by? ”

"Of course not!" Xue Shixiong looked at Chen Kefu coldly, his eyes were full of annoyance, "If it weren't for Chen Dashuai's storming of Linyu Pass that day, Ben Shuai would have already led an army of 100,000 to Yanmen. With my army of 100,000, how can Hulu Shibi Khan be so rampant. ”

"One time, another." Chen Kefu didn't argue with him about these either: "Yesterday, when Pei Nayan conveyed His Majesty's holy decree to me, he also said to Ben Shuai, before he came, His Majesty had a word, hoping that after Ben Shuai received the decree, he could raise Liaodong soldiers and horses, from the Murwei grassland into the Turkic grassland, directly attack the Turkic lair, attack it, attack it, save it, encircle Wei to save Zhao, and relieve the siege of Yanmen. ”

Xue Shixiong's eyes lit up, "Good strategy, as long as a cavalry quickly penetrates into the grassland, the Turks will inevitably retreat north in panic." ”

Chen Kefu also nodded, "This is indeed a good plan, in the face of the Turkic Hulu who are moving southward, we and other Han people in the Central Plains should work together at this time." Together, the Turks will be driven out of the Central Plains, and the Turks will never be allowed to repeat the miserable situation of the Han people during the Wuhu Rebellion. Ben Yu has decided to use the Liaodong cavalry and fight into the Turks from the Murwei steppe. ”

"The king of the county can have such a Xiōng Huai, please accept Xue's worship!" Xue Shixiong saluted Chen Kefu.

Seeing Xue Shixiong gradually being introduced by himself, Chen Kefu became more and more happy in his heart, but his face was still full of worry.

"This is the duty of a frontier soldier, and it doesn't have to be this way. Now everything is being prepared, but Liaodong, where Ben Shuai is based, is mostly a land of mountains and tombs. Although the chamber car was pacified at the beginning, it was only a small army of soldiers and horses fighting with a small tribe like Murwei. Now I want to go deep into the Turkic steppe, but I don't have enough physical strength. Ben Shuai knew that Xue Dingguo and the four young generals of the Xue family were all on the grassland border of Zhuo County, Jiuzhen. In particular, General Xue Dingguo heard that in previous years, he often broke into the grassland, and even greatly promoted the prestige of our Chinese Han people. ”

Everyone in the Xue family over there felt a little hot when they heard Chen Kefu mention Xue Dingguo's entry into the grassland. Xue Dingguo's entry into the grassland is not a glorious thing, this guy guards the border, but he is often boundless, pretending to be a bandit on the grassland, often killing into the grassland and plundering those small grassland tribes.

For a commander of the First Army like Xue Shixiong, having such a subordinate is a shame for their Zhuojun and the Xue family.

Seeing their appearance, Chen Kefu hurriedly said, "Ben Shuai has no malicious intentions, but he just knows that the five Xue generals are very familiar with the grassland. So this time Ben Shuai entered the grassland, and wanted to invite five generals Xue who were familiar with the grassland to enter the grassland together and be the vanguard outpost of our army, I don't know if Xue Shuai and the five Xue generals are willing? ”

Xue Dingguo's uncle and nephew glanced at each other, their eyes were a little moved, and they all looked at Xue Shixiong.

"Go, if it weren't for Ben Shuai's heavy position, Ben Shuai would be willing to go to the grassland in person." Xue Shixiong said calmly, and after finishing speaking, he didn't say anything anymore, turned his head and rode back to his main formation. In less than a while, I had already seen that in front of the Hebei army array, one after another heralds were running back and forth, and the large array began to move slowly. Not long after, the army had already set up camp and withdrew like a tidal wave to the west.

(PS: Today's five changes are completed in 16,000 words...... Count tickets, recommended tickets, and monthly passes are all OK. If the brothers have some coins, give a reward of one or two dollars and stand in line......

PS2: In yesterday's chapter, the thirteen counties of Lingnan were wrong, it should be the eighteen counties of Lingnan, and the Chen Dynasty has fifty-one counties. And all the counties of the Great Sui should add up to one hundred and ninety counties, plus the seven counties of Liaoben and Murowei later. Therefore, the Great Sui is one hundred and ninety-seven counties, at this time the Chen Dynasty accounted for fifty-one, Chen Kefu accounted for fifteen, Wagang accounted for seven, and the three peasant armies of Hebei each accounted for one. All the rebel armies have accounted for seventy-six, and the Sui Dynasty still controls one hundred and twenty-one counties, and one-third of the world has fallen. ）！。
