Chapter 28 The first appearance of the enemy

The quiet night at the foot of the mountain was broken in an instant, and the camp composed of more than 100,000 people quickly became excited under Chen Kefu's order. In addition to sending several teams of troops to reconnaissance and report the news, the remaining half seized the time to rest, and half were fully armed outside the camp and were at their duty at any time.

The more than 10,000 civilians all started to line up to receive weapons under the arrangement of Sima and Counselor of the Pojun Camp. Everyone was uneasy but with a hint of excitement. Everyone knew that the soldiers of the Pojun Camp would be promoted to the next level after they returned, and even the soldiers would receive dozens of acres of fertile land rewards after they returned this time.

These civilians were all farmers. At this time, they were recruited by the imperial court to perform labor service. They were very clear about the affairs of the military camp. Everyone was extremely envious. For a farmer, the most precious thing was not gold, silver, silk, silk, and fertile land. Although the Sui Dynasty implemented the equalization system since the founding of the dynasty and everyone gave land, there are now about 4,000 people in the Sui Dynasty. How many land can each of them get except those occupied by the nobles and tyrants?

Those young and brave men, although they were nervous at this time, were faintly looking forward to the appearance of the possible Goguryeo army. As the saying goes, seeking precious dangers, did the Pojunying camp easily make great achievements this time? Maybe this time they can make a contribution with the glory of Pojunying camp. Even if they get the reward of ten acres of fertile land at that time, it would be a matter of undesirable. Ten acres of land can make a family of people full of food.

Under the urging of the soldiers of the Pojun camp, no one was dissatisfied with negative emotions. Everyone put all their efforts into strengthening the defense of the camp, digging trenches and tree stakes, and digging small pits of defense cavalry in the open space outside the camp. Everyone was working hard, and many strong men even took off their coats and worked hard with their shirtlessness in the light of the torch.

Compared with the vague worries of the civilians, Chen Kefu and his generals who broke the military camp were not too worried. Although this place was Goguryeo, for the Sui army, they were not afraid of fighting against the barbarians of Goguryeo, and they were afraid that the other party would not be able to stand firm. As long as the other party dared to go out in the field, the elite soldiers who fought across the Central Plains and the Turkic Grassland would be fearless.

Especially for Chen Kefu and others, whether it is from Xincheng or the camp in Liaodong, the cavalry and horses will only be in less than a day. Even if it is really Yiwen Zhide, the God of War of Goguryeo, came, he is still fearless. As long as he sticks to the camp and does not come out, he believes that he can defend it with the tens of thousands of people in the camp and the abundant equipment. Maybe they can still encircle the attacking Goguryeo army with the army on both sides of Liaocheng and Xincheng. If this is true, then this is simply a contribution sent by God. Chen Kefu is not afraid of too much credit. Now he is just a young general, and he doesn't have to worry about being rewarded if he makes a few great contributions.

In the camp of Mr. Li Benlei, Chen Kefu and others were sitting there waiting for news of the horse exploration while looking at the map, but they were also vaguely expecting in their hearts that the cavalry that had been found was a large Goguryeo army.

A group of people chatted about the corrections, and the tent was suddenly lifted up. A man covered in armor and a few big men with the same helmets and armor rushed in.

"Brother Pojun, I just heard someone say that the Goguryeo army is catching up, right?"

Chen Kefu frowned. It was a group of officers from the Pojun camp discussing military affairs. Someone broke in like this. This made him feel very unhappy. He was about to see which one was so unhappy and was about to take it out and beat the twenty-stop board to emphasize military discipline. When he looked up, he saw that the visitor was Shaoqingyu, the Taipu Temple who had just been called brothers in the past day.

"That's just a rumor from outside. Our wandering whistle found traces of cavalry not far away. It looked like a small group of Goguryeo people. We have already asked someone to check it out. Brother Yuwen, don't panic, go back and continue sleeping. With our Pojun camp, it doesn't matter whether the Goguryeo army is really coming. If you want to attack our team of people, the other party must have such a good eloquence." Chen Kefu was not easy to blame Yu Wen and said that he was still a member of his family now, so he had to tell the truth.

Yu Wenhua and the two little ladies he brought with him were having arisen, but they heard the messy noise in the camp. When he came just now, he thought it was just a rumor spreading in the camp. He originally planned to come over and confirm it and go back and continue to enjoy the ridiculous things in the wilderness of the rare mountains and forests. But when he really heard the news that the Goguryeo people appeared nearby from Chen Kefu's mouth, he was stunned for a moment.

Although there were more than 100,000 people in the camp, there were only 3,000 troops from the military camp. This time he came, he borrowed a thousand cavalry from his father. In addition to the more than 10,000 civilians, all the people were Goguryeo people, and even nearly 20,000 Goguryeo prisoners. What if the person who came was really a Goguryeo army? It was in the wilderness, and there was neither a strong city to defend nor a large army to rely on. He was frivolous in Chang'an, and he was born in a military aristocratic family in Guanlong, with four generations and three masters, and his great future was still waiting for him. How could he be blocked by someone like this?

In the panic, Yu Wenhua and his face turned pale, "Brother Pojun, except for your three thousand Pojun cavalry, there is only one thousand left of my left guard cavalry. There is definitely no chance of winning against the Goguryeo people. What's more, there are so many people and so many Goguryeo prisoners. What if they take advantage of the chaos to seize the camp? I think we might as well kill all the Goguryeo prisoners and let more than 10,000 civilians wait for the Goguryeo people here. Brother Pojun, have you sent weapons to those civilians? Let them stay here and let them stay here. I will return to Liaodong City to get reinforcements. Then we will bring the army and the people from the camp to attack inside and outside, and we will definitely kill the Goguryeo people. Brother Pojun, my plan is good, and we will leave quickly."

Chen Kefu was a little stuttering when he heard what he said at the beginning, but in the end he was getting worse and worse. Of course, he didn't believe that the plan of the man whose legs were still shaking. This was not a plan, but this guy was afraid of death and wanted to run away, but he was afraid that he would not be able to return to Liaodong City with those 1,000 people, so he wanted to pull himself to escort him to Liaodong City as a bodyguard. Finally, he was worried that Yang Guang would blame him for leaving the camp and running away, so he came up with a plan to let the civilians guard the camp, which was famous for rescuing soldiers.

He secretly despised the frivolous young man in his heart, but Chen Kefu also admired this guy's cleverness. At such a moment, he could even think of such a way to escape so quickly. It seems that the education of the nobles was not in vain.

He quietly signaled the generals in the camp with his eyes, telling them not to speak out, and walked to Yu Wen and his side with a smile. Chen Kefu said, "Brother Yuwen, your plan is indeed good, but those civilians are just farmers who have just washed their feet and got ashore. If we are here, they can still hold back. If we stop, then these people will not say that they will fight to the death of the enemy when they are guarding the camp. We will definitely have to flee everywhere as soon as we leave, and then you and I will not be able to escape from His Majesty's punishment."

Yu Wenhua and how could he wait for death here? In his opinion, it would be best to be as far as this time, and to be as far away as this is the safest. Hearing that Chen Kefu was worried about dereliction of duty, he hurriedly lowered his head and whispered by his side, "It's too dangerous to stay here. As long as you return to Liaodong City, you don't have to worry. Now you are a member of our Yuwen family. Your Majesty will not blame us for such a small matter. Besides, with my old man and the reputation and power of my Yuwen family, you can definitely keep you from doing anything. Let's leave quickly. If they chase you later, they won't be able to escape."

"Brother Yuwen, the situation is not clear at this time. I'm just rushing out like this. What if it's just a few Goguryeo defeated soldiers at that time? That's not the laughing stock of everyone? If it's as Brother Yuwen expected, the elite army of Goguryeo came, then if you guys are just going to run out blindly before you figure out the situation of the other party, wouldn't it be even more dangerous? Then we accidentally break into someone's trap. So Brother Yuwen, don't panic. I have sent two teams of troops to ask for help from General Pei Renji of Xincheng and His Majesty of Liaodong City. Now as long as we stick to the camp, our reinforcements will arrive within one day. There are so many military supplies and equipment in the camp, and the civilians are strong, so it's safest for us to stay here. Although Brother Yuwen is at ease, I'm still very sure to defend the camp in one day."

Chen Kefu briefly explained the danger of leaving the camp without authorization. Of course, this was just a matter of scaring Yu Wenji. If he really wanted him to bring the three thousand military cavalry to the camp, no matter how strong the other party was, he would still be very sure to run away if he just ran away.

However, Chen Kefu would not run away. No matter what, he understood the importance of capturing the baggage war horses in this camp. The two things that were obviously not dangerous are so complicated. Only when he made a meritorious service would he not throw them away and become a runaway general.
