The military capital is closed on two cliffs, and there is a huge stream in the middle. Moreover, there are Great Wall on the mountains on both sides, and if you want to pass the customs, you can not even go over the mountains.

Xue Dingguo's five uncles and nephews were originally because Chen Kefu said that he would lead troops into the grassland, attack the Turkic lair, and besiege Wei to save Zhao, so they would follow his army and prepare to be guides. Unexpectedly, although they marched immediately along the way, they also knew that they had fallen for Chen Kefu. This is to go to Murowei, to the Turks, obviously from Liaoxi into the Xi State, although all the way to the west, but close to the border of the Sui State.

When they set foot in the Guangou Gorge, they finally understood everything. Xue Shixiong is the general of the left imperial guard, but he also serves as the Taishou of Zhuojun. Although the guards of this army are Luo Yi, a subordinate of Li Jing, the general of the Right Military Guard, they are also in Zhuo County. The five of their uncles and nephews would not have a strange feeling about the military capital of Zhuo County's big passage to the outside of the Saiwai.

When they saw that the Beikou Pass had been replaced with the banner of Chen at this time, the five uncles and nephews had already felt a burst of anger about leaving. They understood that they were completely tricked by Chen Kefu, and even Xue Shixiong and the 150,000 Hebei Army soldiers that day were also tricked. Chen Kefu did not accept the court's appeasement at all, and his goal was still the Central Plains.

Although Xue Dingguo's five uncles and nephews were eager to pick off Chen Kefu's skin at this time, they were only five bare-pole generals, and even dozens of guards were standing beside them, so they didn't have a chance at all.

"Chen Kefu, since you are already the king of Beichen County in the imperial court, why do you want to attack the imperial court's soldiers and horses and rob the imperial court?" Xue Dingguo blew his beard and glared, and shouted angrily.

Chen Kefu smiled and turned around. "General Xue didn't understand the facts. It's just nonsense, that's not right. Since Ben Shuai accepted the appeasement of the imperial court that day, he was already a general of the imperial court. And you have also seen that after receiving the holy decree, Ben Shuai did not stay for a day, and immediately led 70,000 Liaodong troops to the west, intending to really copy the road from the beginning to the end. ”

Xue Wanche looked at Chen Kefu coldly, "General Ben, do you remember what you and my father said before, but you entered the Turks from Muwei. Attacking the Turkic lair and forcing the Turks to return north? But why are we moving westward from Xi Kingdom, and now we are actually in front of the military capital? ”

Chen Kefu laughed a few times, "General Xue, from Liaoxi to Murowei, and then into the Turks, that is a long road. And from Liaoxi to Xi country, and then into the grassland, it is a shortcut. Since he is going to rescue His Majesty the Emperor, there is a reason to give up the near and seek the farther. As for why Ben Shuai is here now. It's actually quite simple. You can ask Deputy Marshal Wang to understand. ”

Wang Renxue shook his white beard and smiled slightly, brushing his beard, "The matter is actually very simple, this deputy marshal received the order of the handsome flying eagle a few days ago. Yan Liaodong has already received the imperial court's appeasement. The marshal ordered me to lead my troops and horses to attack the Turkic army of Shibi Khan and relieve the siege for the imperial court. After receiving the order, the deputy marshal immediately followed the order of the marshal, and the three armies marched forward bravely, fighting to the death against the Shibi army, and fought several times before and after. Finally, the Turkic army was completely annihilated, and the nobles of Shibi Khan, Jieli Khan, Tuli Khan, and Chuluo Khan were captured."

"Hahaha!" Xue Dingguo over there couldn't help laughing, as if he had heard the funniest thing in the world. After laughing for a while, he stopped and said, "General Wang, I didn't hear it wrong, right?" You said that you received an order from Chen Pojun, and then you attacked Shibi Khan, and then you also annihilated all the Turkic cavalry? And even you captured all the nobles of the Turkic soldiers and horses that went south? You're sure you're telling the truth. Instead of playing us like children? ”

Wang Rengong didn't care, smiled generously, and said with a straight face, "General Xue, you can not believe in this general, but you can't erase the credit of my tens of thousands of soldiers with blood." ”

Xue Dingguo looked at Wang Rengong's serious appearance, and also put away his smile, "Okay, the general will ask you, you said that you received Chen Pojun's general order a few days ago, and then immediately attacked the Turks." Then let me ask you, where were you with your troops and horses at that time? Why was it possible to attack the Turks immediately? ”

"It doesn't hurt to tell you, at that time, Ben Shuai was bringing 30,000 soldiers and horses with the prince of Abao, the prince of the Khitan, and the young patriarch of the Mogo clan of the Dahe clan, guarding our caravan in Liaodong, and trading with the grassland people in Xi State. When we received the order, we were not too far from the border east of the river, so we immediately led our troops south. ”

Xue Wanche and the others did not believe what Wang Rengong said about taking 30,000 soldiers and horses to escort the caravan to the grassland to do business. "Even if you are on the border of the steppe, but the Turks are in Yanmen, and there is a distance of more than ten days from the border of Hedong and the steppe, not to mention the far border of Xi State, if you want to make it up, you have to make it look like some." ”…,

"Who said that the Turks were in Yanmen?" Wang Rengong chuckled, "Earlier, the army of King Qin of the imperial court had already arrived, and the Turks lost their troops, and only more than 70,000 people retreated to the north. When Ben was going to intercept them, they were already on the border with the steppe east of the river. The 70,000 soldiers and horses of the general were defeated and captured at the mouth of the moraine. ”

Although the uncle and nephew of the Xue family didn't believe what Wang Rengong said at all, when they heard that the siege of Yanmen was solved, they were still surprised and said, "What do you say, the siege of Yanmen has been solved?" How is Your Majesty now? ”

"Okay, everything is fine. His Majesty was preparing to lead a large army into the grassland, but unfortunately Shibi was captured by the general. ”

The most thoughtful Gong Wanche said, "What do you have to prove?" ”

Wang Rengong waved his hand, and Wang Runian, the pro-guard team behind him, had already walked over.

"Captain Wang, you go and bring Shibi Khan here."

"Yes!" Wang Runian saluted and retired, and after a while, he took several soldiers and brought four khans, including Shibi Khan, Chuluo Khan, Jieli Khan, and Tuli Khan. The five uncles and nephews of the Xue family have been in the border for a long time, but they have also been to the Turkic tooth tent once. The five unkempt Turkic men in front of them were none other than the Shibi Khan and others they had seen in the past.

Unable to hide the surprise in his heart, Xue Dingguo stepped forward, "Are you really the Khan of Shibi?" ”

Shibi Khan raised his head and glanced at the Sui general in front of him, and then turned his head again, "Sui dog, kill if you want to kill, kill if you want." I have never been afraid of anything, but even now as a captive, Ben Khan is the descendant of the noblest wolf of the steppe. How can you be so insulted! ”

As soon as Shi Bi spoke, Xue Dingguo had already decided in his heart. The person in front of him was indeed Shibi Khan. Of course, it looks familiar. The familiar voice, and the unruly look, are not bad. It's just that he still can't believe that the Turkic Shibi Great Khan, who led 300,000 troops south, would actually become a prisoner of the Liaodong Army.

Looking at their surprised and inexplicable appearance, Chen Kefu was also faintly proud in his heart. He originally left Wang Rengong behind, but he only had the idea of trying to assassinate Shibi, and he didn't have much confidence in his heart. His purpose. I was only worried that after the Turks returned to the steppe, they would come to take revenge on Liaodong in the future. So I want the Turkic dragons to be leaderless and chaotic with each other. But he really didn't expect that Wang Rengong would give him such a big surprise, not only wiped out all the soldiers and horses of the Turks who returned from the defeat of the south, but even those nobles in the southward army were also in the same pot. It is conceivable that I have no Turkic nobles of various tribes, plus the invasion of the steppe by the tribes around the Turks. The former mighty steppe Turks are no longer going to return, and for at least twenty years, the Eastern Turks will not be able to make a comeback.

Wave your hand. A team of soldiers brought Shibi Khan and the others down. At the beginning, these people were too famous, and Chen Kefu had already thought about it. These people are destined to sit in prison in Liaodong. As long as they do not die, these people are the nominal supreme chieftains of the Turks. A group of living large and small khanate nobles. It's better than a bunch of dead aristocrats. But at the moment, he can't let them stay here any longer, and if they stay any longer, the Xue family brothers will have to ask about Yanmen, the court and the emperor, and he doesn't want them to know about those situations.

After Chen Kefu asked the soldiers to take Shibi and the others, he pretended to be very angry. "On that day, my Liaodong soldiers fought desperately for the court and His Majesty, and killed more than 20,000 soldiers and horses before the Turks were completely annihilated and Shibi and others were captured. After receiving General Wang's letter that day, Ben Shuai was worried that the Turks would come to snatch Shibi Khan and other prisoners just in case. That's why they were allowed to return east to the territory of Xi State, and the commander personally sent troops to respond. ”

"Originally, Ben Shuai was going to be after receiving Deputy Marshal Wang. Immediately took Shibi Khan and other Turkic prisoners, and entered the pass from the military capital, and then entered Hebei from the Flying Fox. He went to Yanmen, firstly, to hand over the Shibi and other prisoners to His Majesty, and secondly, to respond to His Majesty's will, lead his troops to join the imperial army, prepare to enter the grassland, and avenge the humiliation of the Yanmen Turks besieging our emperor that day. Unexpectedly, when Vice Marshal Wang was waiting for his marshal here, the defenders in the capital of this army actually went out of the pass to attack our Liaodong soldiers and horses. General Wang suspected that the defenders of the pass had colluded with the Turks in an attempt to save the Turkic nobles such as Shibi Khan. ”

Xue Dingguo and the others listened to it for a long time, and they were also a little big. I couldn't figure out what the situation was for a while, to say that the Liaodong army wanted to attack Junduguan, but they had sent troops into the steppe before, robbed and killed the Turkic army of Shibi Khan, and captured many Turkic nobles. The Liaodong Army and the Turks do not have a border today, and if the Liaodong Army is still hostile, then according to common sense, the enemy of the enemy is a friend. Then the enemies of the imperial court are the Turks, so the Turks should be friends of the Liaodong Army. But now, they have annihilated the Turks who besieged the emperor thousands of miles away. …,

This chaotic situation made Xue Dingguo a little confused.

"The king of the county, the last general, this must be a misunderstanding. The last general of the army knows that it has always been Luo Yi's guard. At present, Luo Yi is in Linyu Pass, and those who remain at this pass are Luo Cheng, the youngest son of the Luo family, and Luo Wu, Luo Yi's old subordinate. They may not have recognized the marshal's soldiers and horses for a while, so there was a misunderstanding for a while, and I ask the marshal to understand. ”

Chen Kefu was unforgiving, and sneered, "Ben Shuai is now the third duke, Shang Shuling, the head of a hundred officials. He is also the son-in-law of His Majesty, and he is also a minister, and the king of the county with 300,000 soldiers. If a little Eagle Yang Lang will dare to come to Tai Sui's head to break ground, then will he dare to come to the head of the king of this county to? There is reason to travel all over the world, and today Ben Shuai will look at the faces of several generals Xue and give this Luo family kid a chance. At present, Ben Shuai is still in a hurry to take Shibi and other Turkic captives to Hedong, as long as this Luo family kid personally comes out of the customs to meet Ben Shuai, and kowtows to make amends and admit his mistakes, the king of Benjun can not blame the past. But if he doesn't know each other, don't blame the king of this county for being polite, don't say that he is a little cub of the Luo family who has no hair, it is his son Luo Yi, and the king of this county will also transfer him to my Liaodong Army from His Majesty, and it will not be difficult for them to be handsome at that time, as long as he pours the toilet for the king of this county for a year. ”

Hearing Chen Kefu's arrogant words, the uncles and nephews of the Xue family all came down. But think about it, Chen Kefu is arrogant, but he has such qualifications. Today's Chen Pojun is the most powerful minister of the Great Sui, with the land of Liaodong in his hands, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, which is under the emperor alone, and above tens of thousands of people in the world. Even if he is a prince and a crown prince, he doesn't have the capital to be so arrogant.

The Xue family and the Luo family are fellow villagers in Hebei, plus Zhuo County, a long time ago, the two families have long been world friends. At this time, seeing that the Luo family kid was ignorant and caused such a big trouble, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "King Jun, that Luo Cheng is just an eighteen-year-old ignorant young man, the handsome prime minister can support the boat in his belly, and there are a lot of adults." Don't be like this kid, if the big guy is willing to give our Xue family a little face, my old Xue is willing to personally go and close the Luo family kid to take it out for you, and let him kowtow to the king of the county and toast and apologize. ”

Xue Wanche saw that his uncle was helping Luo Cheng save the situation, and he also hurriedly said, "Yes, yes." The king of the county, it is most important to rush to the east of the river, and you must not delay the big thing because of the small thing. ”

At this time, Wang Renxue and other generals of the Liaodong Army also pretended to persuade one by one, and Chen Kefu took a moment and felt that the performance was almost over. Only then did he put away his black face, nodded and said, "Since all the generals have interceded for his Luo family, then the king of this county can't be too unkind." Well, according to the generals' wishes, Ben will give him another chance. As long as he immediately found the city gate, offered wine and meat to reward the three armies, and kowtowed to the king of the county to apologize, the king of the county would no longer pursue the matter. If he still toasts and doesn't eat and drink, then Ben Shuai only needs to give an order, and then the small army will be closed, and his Luo family will go up and down, even if it is a plea, it will not work. Even if he goes to His Majesty the Emperor's Jinluan Hall to sue the emperor at that time, the king of this county is not afraid of him. ”

While pretending to be talking there, Chen Kefu was smiling proudly in his heart. In this era, the transmission of information is too underdeveloped. The Liaodong Army has special communication channels for special service divisions in various places, and transmits messages through flying eagles and flying pigeons, while the Great Sui, except for a small number of carrier pigeon lines of the emperor's black-clothed iron guards, basically transmits messages through post stations, even if it is an emergency military situation, it can only be through the eight-hundred-mile rush of constantly changing horses. No matter how fast the four-legged one runs, how can the two-legged one fly fast? This kind of information asymmetrical war makes Chen Kefu feel like the people of the United States were fighting stupid big trees at the beginning.

If it weren't for this advantage, Chen Kefu would not have thought of using this method of stealing the military capital. Thinking that such a military capital was in danger, and it would be possible to take it without spending a single soldier for a while, Chen Kefu's heart became more and more happy.
