Chapter 168 A big fish

In the early morning, the sky in the east is covered with morning glow, and it is another sunny and good day.

The camp outside Jinshan City has been assigned to the camp. The troops in the camp are divided into three parts, one of which is Liu Tiezhu's Fifth Division and Guo Xiaoke's heavy cavalry brigade, responsible for escorting tens of thousands of prisoners to transport the supplies taken from Jinshan back to Liaodong City.

One was the remaining group of prisoners who had been decided to be arrested for Liaodong City. At this time, the Second Division sent two regiments of 4,000 people to guard Jinshan City, and were responsible for the piles of materials that were piled up like mountains and were unlucky. Chen Kefu also gave them one of them to be responsible for guarding Jinshan City and guarding the rear of the army.

The rest were Chen Kefu, with the Fourth Division and the First Division, the Second Division, the troops and horses of the Sixth Division, the heavy infantry brigade, and some old and weak prisoners, who continued to advance towards Gaimu City.

The engineers of the Engineering Battalion arranged the camp in an orderly manner. Not long after, they loaded all the tents and other supplies into the vehicle. More than 30,000 troops were ready to go, and the reconnaissance battalion of the First Division took the lead in setting off as a pioneer to open the way.

Gaimu City is only more than a day away, and there is Luo Lin and Li Benlei heading north with thousands of people first. Chen Kefu and others have nothing to worry about, and they maintain a relatively relaxed speed along the way.

By the evening, the army arrived at Gaimu City, and Gaimu City had already replaced the flag of the Northeast Army.

Seeing the arrival of the army, an officer hurriedly came out of the city with several cavalry.

When Chen Kefu saw that it was Zhang Yong, the captain of the reconnaissance regiment, and hurriedly asked, "Where is Deputy Commander Li and Commander Luo?"

"After taking down Gaimu City last night, Deputy Commander Li and Commander Luo have gone to Fuyu City this morning." Zhang Yong jumped off his horse and reported, "Deputy Commander Li ordered our regiment to stay. Now the warehouses in Gaimu City have been sealed, and 20,000 people in the city are also concentrating on guarding each other. A few nobles resisted, and they have all been rectified on the spot."

"Does Gaimu have any soldiers who were captured before our army?"

"If you go back to the commander, there are more than 2,000 soldiers captured during the Liao Dynasty in the city. All the Beizi have been registered for them. They are now arranged in the military camp in the city, but there are no relatives of Deputy Commander Li and General Luolin. It seems that those people don't know their situation. So Deputy Commander Li and General Luolin are in a hurry to go to Fuyu City again."

There were more than 2,000 Sui army prisoners in Gaimu City, but there was no relatives of the two, and there was no news of them, which also disappointed Chen Kefu. After all, he still hoped that the two could find their relatives. If they could not find them in the end, they would even know that they had been killed, which would undoubtedly be another major blow to Li Benlei and Luo Lin.

When the army entered the city, Chen Kefu asked Zhang Yong to bring the officers of the more than 2,000 people. Among the more than 2,000 people, the highest officer was a middle-aged man named Yu Qinming. Although he had been in prison for more than a year of hard labor, he still maintained the tough temperament of a soldier.

"The former left guard Huya Lang, Yu Qinming, will meet with the general of the general, and the general of these more than 2,000 brothers, thank the general for his rescuing." As soon as Yu Zhongmou entered the tent, he knelt on the ground and said with gratitude loudly.

General Huya Lang is the senior officer of the guard who is second only to General, General, and General Huben Lang. He is from the fourth rank military position. Seeing that this man is only forty-four or five years old, he has already held such a high military position, Chen Kefu couldn't help but be stunned.

"Putting down the rebellion of Ding Weijiu, he defeated the Turks' Right Guard General Yu Zhongwen with the position of marshal of the army. Who is you?" Hearing that he was also surnamed Yu, Chen Kefu couldn't help but think of Yu Zhongwen. Yu Zhongwen's grandfather Yu Jin was a famous military general in the Northern Wei, Western Wei, and Northern Zhou Dynasty. He was the general of the Eight Pillar Kingdoms of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. He was as famous as Li Yuan's grandfather Li Hu, Li Mi's great-grandfather Li Bi, and Yang Jian's father-in-law Dugu Xin. His father Yu Zhi was the Zuofu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and Duke of Yan. Since the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yu Zhongwen has been a senior general, and has made military achievements and has been awarded the title of Duke of the County. Later, he participated in the Battle of Pingchen and became the general manager. He was also the marshal of the army and led his army to defeat the Turks with military achievements.

It can be said that Yu Zhongwen was an important figure in the Guanlong aristocratic group of the Sui Dynasty. However, this man had a bad temper. He had a fight with Yuwen Kai in the Yuwen clan and later offended many others such as Yuwen Shu and others. Although he was brave in the war, he was also one of the generals of the Nine Army defeated by Sashui during the Second Expedition to Liaodong. After returning to the court, Yuwen Shu and others collectively pushed the blame to him. In the end, Yuwen Shu and others were all restored to their posts, but he was 68 years old and killed by Yang Guang.

When Yu Qinming heard Yu Zhongwen's name, he quickly raised his head and said, "That's my father. I have nine brothers from my mother and brothers. I am the eldest son. Last year, Sashui was defeated, and I don't know what happened to my father? Is there any news about my father?"

Chen Kefu was stunned for a moment, not expecting that Yu Qinming was really Yu Zhongwen's son, and not even expecting that Yu Qinming didn't know about his father.

Looking at his anxious and expectant gaze, Chen Kefu shook his head and sighed.

Yu Qinming's eyes were dim, and he knelt on the ground and said dejectedly, "The Nine Army lost its destruction, and his army was lost to 300,000. Maybe his father has gone to the immortal."

"Ling Zun did not die in Liaodong in battle. He and Yuwen Shu and other generals broke back to Liaodong City. However, Your Majesty blamed them for losing their troops and finally put them in prison. Nine commanders of the Nine Army, the rest of the generals were finally released from prison. Only Ling Zun was finally punished by all the generals, so Your Majesty was down and punished Ling Zun. Ling Zun had gone to the beginning of the year!" Although Chen Kefu couldn't bear to tell him the result, after thinking about it, he still told him directly that this matter was hidden for a while, but he could not hide it for a lifetime.

Moreover, although Yu Qinming was born in a noble family in Guanlong, he was more well-off, not like Li Jie. Although he was also a member of the Northeast Army, he always drew a line with the generals of the army who came from poor families.

Moreover, he felt that this man was in his forties and became a general of Huya Lang because of his family background. Now that his father died at the hands of senior generals such as Yuwen Shu and Yang Guang, this man would have some grudges with those in power in the Sui Dynasty. If he could be kept in the Northeast Army, it would definitely be of great help to his future career.

Now he still has too little foundation. Only after uniting and winning over the talents around him can he grow stronger little by little.

After hearing this, Yu Qinming looked at Chen Kefu with a dull look, and didn't say a word for a long time. He just stood there, as if he was not very accepting the fact he had just heard. His father, his grandfather, and his great-grandfather, were not powerful and had a high position, and even his entire family was the top leader of the Great Sui platoon. Although the Yu clan could not compare with the Yuwen clan and the Li clan, they were still above them in the past, like the Pei clan. But why? His father, a duke, a general, and the head of the contemporary Yu clan, was gone like this?

"Is this true? My Yu clan fought for the Great Sui Dynasty and made great achievements. Although Sashui was defeated, anyone with discerning eyes knew that it was a crime of war. Why did I just ask my father to bear this guilt?"

Looking at a big and thick man in his forties, his eyes were wet and his voice was sad, Chen Kefu felt uncomfortable. However, when he saw his eyes, he could guess that he was dissatisfied with the Great Sui Dynasty, Yang Guang and Yuwen Shu. This was the result he wanted. Yang Guang had been listed as an enemy by him, and the enemy of the enemy was also his friend.

"Life cannot be resurrected. Although the old Duke has gone to the age of 68, you don't have to be too sad. The dead are gone, and the living is the most important thing. Do you have any plans now? If you want to go back to Luoyang, I will send a team of troops to escort you back, but when you go back now, your future is uncertain. After all, the death of Lingzun was overthrown by other generals. If you go back, they might deal with you again. After all, you have been missing for more than a year, and it may not be a good thing to go back at this time."

Yu Qinming was silent and didn't speak. After a long time, he said, "But if I don't go back to Luoyang, what should I do?"

"I don't think so. Don't reveal the news that you are still alive. You stay in our army first. Now I have fought a few big battles. When I report to Your Majesty, I will say that you were defeated and seriously injured and captured last year. Finally, when we captured Gaimu City this time, we will be rescued. It won't take long to get a war. I will remember you a few military achievements and tell Your Majesty about you. At that time, maybe not only will no one be held accountable, but you will be rewarded."

Yu Qinming thought about it and made sense. Since his Yu clan had been defeated by Yuwen Shu and others with all his might, if he went back as a captive, those people would definitely not want to see a future hidden danger staying with him. Maybe they would find a way to get him down to prevent future troubles. As a family clan, he would have seen many such things. After Chen Kefu said a few words, he also understood.

"General Yu was also the eldest son of General Yu, and the eldest son of Marshal Yu. Youdao is a tiger father without a dog son. Now my Northeast Army is defending Liaodong, and you are a general with rich experience in combat formations like you. If you don't dislike me, I would like to invite you to serve as the brigade commander of the Officer Training Brigade directly under my Northeast Army Command. The Officer Training Brigade is an elite force to be formed. The entire brigade will have three regiments of 7,000 soldiers and horses, and all of them will be elite soldiers in the army, and will also be responsible for the rotation training of all active company commanders in the army. I hope General Yu can help me with such an important force!"

Chen Kefu was just trying to dig Yu Qinming over anyway. Although he was also from the Guanlong noble group, Chen Kefu, who is in urgent need of help, cannot be too picky.
