Yang* was very surprised when he read the annual scroll. Even those who were surprised had already lost their voices.

Several ministers in the hall were stunned for a moment, not knowing what was written on the handscroll, which actually surprised King Liao so much.

"King Liao, what's wrong?"

"See for yourself!" Yang Lai handed the handscroll in his hand to Dong Chun. Dong Chun also frowned after reading it, glanced up at Chen Kefu, and handed the handscroll to the other ministers.

After a circle, everyone frowned. Fan Zigai said with some hesitation, "Duke Liao, for such a major matter as sending troops, it is better to ask the military department and Your Majesty first." Liaodong has just been pacified, and the best thing is to recuperate. Liaodong has used troops for several years, and countless soldiers have been killed and wounded, and this war has just ended, and it is not a good thing to use soldiers again. ”

There was actually one thing written on the scroll, Chen Kefu decided to send troops to Mu Wei.

It was not for nothing that everyone reacted so strongly, after Chen Kefu was relieved of his post as marshal of the Liaodong Xingying. The current position is Nayan, participating in the government affairs, Zuotunwei general, Liaodong left-behind, and knowing the military of the seven counties of Liaodong.

Among these positions, Nayan is the phase, and the head of the court is not an official position, but a title. The two official titles are actually the same, high and powerful, but they have to return to the central court to be effective, and they are only high in Liaodong. The position of General Zuo Tunwei is also similar, that is, he has the right to command the troops, but he does not have the right to transfer troops.

What really made Chen Kefu stand above everyone in Liaodong was the military position of staying behind in Liaodong and knowing the seven counties of Liaodong. The former one, although the left-behind guard has a higher position than the Taishou official, but it is not a direct subordinate relationship, and he has the right to supervise, but not the right to direct management. The Seven Counties were under his supervision, but they were directly under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Officials. The latter knew the military of the seven counties of Liaodong, and gave him the right to command the soldiers and horses of Liaodong, and he also did not have the right to transfer troops. Giving him this official position is just to let him be able to lead the defense of Liaodong soldiers and horses in case the Turks invade Liaodong by the tribes in Liaodong and Liaodong.

But now Chen Kefu has made a request. War!

His reasons are very good, the Murwei people killed the sergeants of the Sui army, set fire to the city, and even killed Li Xuanba, the fourth son of the general of the army and the prince of Tang. Each of these pieces taken out separately is already a provocation to the Great Sui. What's more, it is still a few things to do together, and the last time the Murwei people sent 10,000 troops to Goguryeo, and joined forces to fight the Sui army, which together is definitely enough for the war.

Yujura and the others are not afraid of war, they all came out of the war. There is only one thing that really worries them, as soon as the war is a war, the seven counties of Liaodong will enter a wartime state. As soon as they enter a state of war, Chen Kefu can take war as the highest and directly intervene or even manage them. Chen Kefu did not have the right to transfer troops, and he did not even have any right to appoint personnel of officials above the ninth rank.

Moreover, he has no right to interfere with the local government, but in times of war, he can use military law to interfere in management. Even when he was in Jian Jian, it was these county guards, if they violated Chen Kefu's military orders, he might use military law to behead them. The mobilization of money and food in various places,

The transfer of the people's husband and strong men, all of this is in Chen Kefu's rights. And the most crucial point is that if there is a war, Chen Kefu will change from a high-ranking person who does not care about specific matters to a real powerful person with soldiers and horses in his hands.

He had just been relieved of his military power, but now he was about to regather his troops again, which made Dong Chun and the others feel a little uneasy. Chen Kefu did not have soldiers and horses in hand, and Liaodong was the seven of them who were the highest officials in power. But if Chen Kefu commanded the army, they could only be equivalent to Chen Kefu's seven subordinates.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's not me who wants to start a war. This is the initiative of the Murwei people, not only an insult to Liaodong, but also an insult to the Great Sui and His Majesty the Emperor. The Lord is worried about the humiliation of the ministers, and the Lord is humiliated by the death of the ministers. This official is in charge of the soldiers and horses of Liaodong on behalf of the Son of Heaven, in order to maintain the dignity of my Great Sui. Now the people of Murwei first sent troops to attack our Liaodong, and now they have come to disrupt the peace talks of various ethnic groups, and even killed our soldiers and generals, and set fire to our city. If we don't fight back with such behavior, then how will our Great Sui deter the Liaodong and Liaoxi tribes in the future? Where is the dignity of the Great Sui? Where is the majesty of the Great Sui world? Chen Kefu stood up and said solemnly.

Dong Chun frowned and said, "It's just that this mobilization of soldiers and horses is a big deal, and this war is even more important."

We have no objection to the Liao Duke waging war against the Murwei people, but before that, should we first make a statement to the imperial court and ask for the consent of the imperial court and His Majesty before we go to war? ”,

Dong Chun's meaning is very simple, if Chen Kefu really follows the procedure, the distance between Liaodong and the Central Plains is thousands of miles. With the back-and-forth of the recital, coupled with the discussion and deliberation of the imperial court, even if the emperor really agreed to the request to send troops, the matter would have to be at least three or five months later. And for such a long time, these county guards will definitely be able to control the counties.

And there is a very important one, even if the emperor agrees to send troops, how to send troops, how much, which generals to send, which one is the main general, which one is Zuosu, and even which one is the supervising army, this is not necessarily. It is even possible that the imperial court will recognize the treasure as a skirmish, and it may not necessarily send Chen Ke to make a comeback. Drag it down, there are too many possibilities. None of them were willing, and Chen Kefu continued to hold the soldiers and horses in his hands. Chen Kefu has always commanded the soldiers and horses, so they will never be the home of Liaodong.

"My Malay report shows that the Murwei people have shown signs of retreating to the northwest. The military plane is fleeting, if we send this matter to the court now, then back and forth, and when His Majesty's will comes down, the people of Murwei have already run away and do not know where to go. How will we go deep into the prairie and find lessons from the Murwei people? Shall we not fight then? In this way, wouldn't all the tribes be able to follow their example, come and fight if they want, and leave when they are done? ”

Chen Kefu had already prepared a set of rhetoric, and at this time he easily dealt with their opposition.

"The general will be outside, and the king's order will not be granted. What's more, this official is not only left behind in Liaodong, but also knows the military of the seven counties in Liaodong. It is my duty to guard Liaodong and guard against all ethnic groups. The Murwei people have already started a war against our Liaodong, and at this time, the official should be a soldier and a horse, and give the Murwei people a head-on attack. Ladies and gentlemen, my military chapter has been sent to the Central Plains. Moreover, within three days, this officer will gather troops and horses and go north to Murowei to fight.

"I don't know how many soldiers and horses Liao Gong has dispatched?" Yu Jura asked.

Chen Kefu took out another handscroll and spread it in front of the servants: "The soldiers of all counties and towns in Liaodong are responsible for protecting the territory and the people, and it is not appropriate to leave lightly. Therefore, the plan of this official is to mobilize more than 40,000 men and horses from the government soldiers, most of them cavalry, to ride and ride, and seek a quick victory. ”

"I don't know if I need the old man to fight, although the old man is old, he can still go to the battle array to win the enemy's level...... Tu Wanxu made eye contact with Fan Zigai and the others for a while and said with a smile.

Yu Juluo and Dong Chun also said, "If we need wings, we can still go to the battlefield." ”

Seeing that the three of them suddenly stopped reacting, Chen Kefu was stunned for a moment, but he didn't care what the reason was. just smiled and said, "The princes are all envoys appointed by the imperial court to govern the place, and now they are just going to crusade against a small chamber Wei, why do you need the princes to go out." Place is important, place is important. ”

"Since the Duke of Liao said so, then we will definitely prepare logistics and food for the Duke of Liao." Fan Zigai also said.

Once several people agreed, things were easy to do. Chen Kefu issued a conscription order and requisitioned more than 40,000 soldiers and horses. However, this order is actually very simple, and the current armies have only just received the order to divide them, and they have not yet been immediately transferred to various places. At this time, the deployment of troops is very fast. The more than 40,000 soldiers and horses transferred by Chen Kefu have already been selected. All ace troops are there, such as the training battalion, reconnaissance battalion, guard battalion, heavy cavalry battalion, Modao battalion, etc., mainly in the descendant units controlled by Chen Kefu, Lu Shishen, Mao Yi, and team nobles.

In order to prevent the dispatch of troops, Liaodong was taken advantage of by Fan Zigai and others to make small moves. Chen Kefu has also been on guard for a long time, and the county soldiers of the seven counties and the town soldiers of the nine towns are also the descendants of the henchmen and generals. can ensure that there will be no accidents in Liaodong and will always be in the hands of his own people.

There were more than 40,000 horses, basically all of them cavalry, and many bow and crossbow troops were specially transferred into it. Even the rest of the infantry were all equipped with war horses, two horses per person, the most luxurious configuration, to ensure the rapid mobility of this cavalry.

Liaodong is different from the interior of the Central Plains, and the mobilization of troops and horses also requires local support for grain and grass logistics. The logistics grain and grass of Liaodong's soldiers and horses are the most abundant, and Chen Kefu can directly use as much grain and leather as he wants. Even these numerous grain and grass equipment have always been guarded by the heavy soldiers of the Military Police Department, even if Fan Zigai and others are here now, Chen Kefu has no intention of handing over these grain and grass to them. Not only these grains and grasses, but also those craftsmen in the army were all guarded by Chen Kefu's soldiers and horses.

All the workshops are in the barracks of the Nine Towns Town Soldiers and the Seven Counties County Soldiers, and these places will not let Fan Zigai and the others enter at all. Weapons workshop, armor workshop, crossbow machine workshop, bow and arrow workshop, Mo knife workshop, gunpowder workshop, catapult workshop, heavy infantry armor, heavy cavalry A and B workshop, and even clothing workshop, shoes and hat workshop. And then there are all kinds of mines, all under the tight control of the army, and countless slaves and workers and craftsmen are working day and night, hoarding all kinds of war materials.

For Chen Kefu, every extra day he has in various warehouses in Liaodong has an extra point of war material reserves. In the warehouses one by one, every time there is more material, he is also more sure of the chances of winning the future war. No matter how famous Fan Zigai and others are, but when they come to Liaodong, all they can see is only a superficial Liaodong. Unbeknownst to them, there is a vast underground kingdom that is growing. When the time is right, it will inevitably leap out of the world and dominate the world.
