Chapter 294

In a blink of an eye, it is the Double Ninth Festival on September 9th, which is the tenth year of the Great Achievement. Double Ninth Festival, also known as "Autumn" and "Spring" on March 3rd, both family members are coming out of the house. On this day of Double Ninth Festival, all relatives will climb up to "avoid disasters" and insert dogwood and enjoy chrysanthemums. However, the Golden Lion Castle is on the grassland. In terms of heights, it is dozens of miles away, but only the bell tower in the center of the Golden Lion Castle city is the highest, with a thirty-three-meter-high bell tower. With a large thousand-mile mirror, it is the best lookout platform, which can bring all the movements and stillness nearby to the eyes.

At this time, Chen Kefu led all the generals in the army to climb up and look into the distance. September in Liaodong is rainy, but today's Double Ninth Festival is a rare sunny day. The autumn is clear and the blue sky and white clouds make people feel relaxed and happy.

"Life is easy to get old but God is hard to grow old. I have been in the Double Ninth Festival in my life. Today, it is Double Ninth Festival again, and the battlefield is extremely fragrant.

The autumn wind is strong every year, not like spring. It is better than spring. It is vast and the rivers and sky are frost thousands of miles away."

The autumn wind blew towards us, blew up the corners of my clothes, and Chen Kefu couldn't help but recite a word.

Most generals stood there and rushed to use the large thousand-mile mirror to watch the grassland in the distance. Few people understood the meaning of Chen Kefu, but they had some meanings to playing the zither of the cow. Only Mao Xi and other old uncles nodded.

"Okay, good words. Thinking about spring with autumn frost means that the future is bright. It seems that Your Highness is full of confidence in the great cause of restoring the country." Mao Xi sighed and gently licked his feet to help him.

Chen Kefu nodded, "Yes, everything is ready now, I only need the east wind. When the east wind is together, we will surely thrust above the nine heavens."

"Ministry of Personnel, what is your Highness planning for the official documents sent to the Chaoji Dynasty? Or not?"

"Go, of course, go, the east wind has not yet risen, and we still need to observe the sky. This time we go to Dongdu, we will marry Mr. Tang's daughter, and he has urged me many times to do this. Mr. Tang is our ally now, and there has been some estrangement in Xuanba's last incident, so we can't turn against him because of this. In addition, if there is a great chaos today, the heroes from all directions are competing, I also want to go to Dongdu and see if I can make friends and win some heroes. At least, I should also seek alliances with other Daques in the Central Plains to help."

The dynasty that Chen Kefu mentioned was an important system of the Great Sui Dynasty, and the dynasty was the system of the dynasty. All the dynasty members in the world were ordered to remain at the back, and the prefect and superiors were changed. If the generals of the border, the prefect and the various states were flooded and drought, then the officials would be replaced. They all arrived at the Kyoto on October 25th, and the Ministry of Revenue introduced them on November 1st, and they were treated with courtesy from the Shangshu Province and the officials, and then they were gathered in the examination hall to receive the exam results. On the day of the New Year, they were presented to the palace.

Like the land of Liaodong, Chen Kefu, the left-behind, Su Wei, the ambassador of comfort, the prince of Liao, the observer, the prefect of the seven counties, and their assistant officials will all arrive in the capital before October 25.

There are two tasks in Beijing. One is the course exam for the Ministry of Personnel who moved to the Ministry of Personnel, which is to evaluate their performance in the past year. This is very important for foreign officials, because after the final course exam,

Excellent ones can be rewarded, and those with the upper and middle school will pass. If the course exam results are not good, you may be blamed. If the light is punished by Dai, you will even be exempted from the level or the severe ones.

The imperial envoy also has an important responsibility, which is to participate in the imperial court's Yuan meeting. That is, the grand court meeting on New Year's Day every year. The court meeting on this day is the court ceremony. The former is administrative quality, while the latter is to demonstrate the authority of the central government. Every winter, local officials must strictly follow the central government's system to enter Beijing, which is also a means to prevent local officials from not entering the court, placing troops to respect themselves, and even separatist.

Unless Chen Kefu rebels now, he has no reason not to go to Beijing and the Chaoji. If he dares not go, it is equivalent to separatist rule. Although Chen Kefu is already rebelling, it is not the time to formally use the banner. So Chen Kefu has to go this time, and there are still many important things to go to the capital.

"Your Highness, will the capital be too dangerous this time? What if Yang Guang turns his back on him and takes this opportunity to harm you, or force you to stay in the capital?" Mao Xi was still a little worried. The son of a daughter could not sit in the hall. This does not mean that Chen Kefu was delivered to him by himself.

Chen Kefu gently patted the railing on the roof of the bell tower and smiled and said, "It is indeed a certain danger to go to the capital city, but we have to go. Now the uprising will do more harm than good, and it will cost us more. I have been observing the situation in the court. Over the past year, Yang Guang has been busy dealing with the old Guanlong clans, but he is deliberately promoting the new crowns. He attacked a group and won over a group. Yang Guang's meaning is very simple. He does not want any clans to be too powerful and threatened his Yang family."

"Compared with them, although I also made Yang Guang suspicious, I was not the object he was most eager to eliminate. This time, if we enter the capital, we will gain even greater as long as we deal with it carefully."

"Then you bring Mao Yi and Xiao Lu and others, and bring some more troops. If there is something wrong, you can take care of him." Mao Xi said with concern.

Chen Kefu smiled softly and turned to Mao Bo and said, "I'm going to the Chaoji Festival, not to capture Yang Guang. I'll take more troops there, can Yang Guang feel at ease? I've already considered this matter directly. I won't take any generals in the army. I will take Qin Qiong and others over there. Their reputation is not good.

It is not easy to attract attention, and I don’t bring many troops. It is enough to bring a personal guard. If Yang Guang really wants to deal with me, I will not be able to withstand anything even if I bring ten thousand people."

"Oh!" The uncles and uncles all sighed softly. They really didn't want Chen Ke to return to Beijing, but in the current situation, if they didn't enter Beijing, they had to raise the trouble in advance, which was a bit too early.

He held Mao Bo's hand and comforted him, "Don't worry, Bo Mao Bo, actually I have made arrangements. Although I only brought one person to the Central Plains, I have already started to dispatch people to the Central Plains. At that time, thousands of brothers from the Special Service Department and the Investigation Department will be secretly guarding them. Once something happens, I will definitely be able to return to Liaodong safely."

"I'm back, I'm back!" Lu Shishen's loud voice sounded from behind, and the generals were looking into the distance with a thousand-mile mirror.

Chen Kefu looked into the distance and saw a black line coming from a distance on the vast grassland. In the distant sky, there were three green smoke rising. This was the beacon smoke from the beacon tower. Three smokes meant the arrival of the army, and green smoke meant that it was his own people. The beauty of the smoke was made by those strange and skillful people in the army. Red smoke represents the enemy, and green smoke represents the person "no smoke represents the enemy and we are unknown.

The cavalry in the distance were getting closer and closer, and soon they had almost reached more than ten miles outside the city.

"Let's go, welcome our triumphant soldiers!" Chen Kefu smiled and took the lead in going down the bell tower.

This army that returned to the city was nothing but the soldiers of the Ninth Army who had been in the army for half a year.

Because Chen Kefu had already ordered that this time he went to the expedition to train troops, the soldiers were not in a hurry.

The journey was steady and steady, half of the Wei people in the conquest room, half of them were training troops. There was another important task, that was robbery, robbing people, horses, cattle and sheep, no matter what it was, they all robbed them. Every time they surrounded a tribe, they would rob all the captives of the entire tribe, even the cattle and sheep, and tents, and sent back to the Golden Lion City.

Since they had taken action, they would no longer give Shiwei people a chance to turn around. The Shiwei people sent back to Liaodong, both men, women, young and old, were demoted to slaves, and the adult men were even cut off their thumbs and index fingers, and were assigned to farms in various places as serfs. In this way, although they could still work, they would stop thinking of shooting arrows, and taking swords and guns to the battlefield. For the occupied areas, Chen Kefu also sent some of the troops, and the surnames of various tribes went north to build castles and settle down, farming and grazing. He also built a fort, built a bastion at a distance, and stationed troops.

Chen Kefu did not intend to give up the territory he had obtained. Although the Shiwei grassland was even more bitter and colder than Liaodong, it was still enough for grazing. If you settle some land, you could be self-sufficient. Moreover, the army was dispatched to the Shiwei grassland to garrison, and you could also train the army in one fell swoop.

Chen Kefu brought the generals in the city out to greet him. When the soldiers of the Nine Army went out, there were 45,000 people. When they came back, the number was not small, but instead turned into 70,000 to 80,000. During the war, Chen Kefu treated some Shiwei tribes who surrendered voluntarily, and moved their entire tribe to Liaodong. Like other tribes, they broke up and lived with the various tribes. They also drew tens of thousands of young and strong people from their tribes and organized them into the army.

There is also a kind-hearted person to join the Hu people in the army. Using Hu people as the army can not only consume the young and strong essence of all races in the war, but also increase Chen Kefu's strength in the army. Especially once rebelled, it is best to use and reliable. In fact, these Hu people will be the ones that are better to use and reliable.

In addition to these Shiwei people, there were also a large number of caravans in the army, which voluntarily followed the army. They were responsible for transporting various grain and other logistics supplies from Liaodong to sell to the Sui army. Then, after the Sui army defeated a Shifeng tribe, they rushed forward to purchase everything from the Shiwei people, from population to cattle and sheep, and even to tents. As long as they could be moved away, they would have to.

In this way, the caravans of the army bought a lot of supplies at the lowest price. On the one hand, the Sui army saved the logistics transportation, but also easily threw the spoils to the caravans without having to divide the troops to deal with these spoils and prisoners. This model allowed countless caravans to go deep into the grassland and follow the Sui army. They were even more enthusiastic than the army and actively sent people to help inquire about information. On the vast grassland, many caravans transported all kinds of supplies needed by the army north, and then transported various large amounts of spoils purchased cheaply from the Sui army.

The slaves headed south.

After half a year of war, more than two-thirds of the five major tribes, including hundreds of thousands of people, were killed in battle and captured as slaves. The remaining less than 200,000 people were divided into many small tribes and moved to the colder north. Most of them entered the Turkic grassland and attached to the various tribes of the Turkic tribes. The entire Shiwei grassland, the grassland occupied by the original thirty-four large and small tribes of the north and south, completely became the territory of the Sui people. Chen Kefu was as big as two in the past Goguryeo.

In the local area, nine prisms with a circumference of 2,000 steps were built in a row, with 10,000 troops stationed and 180,000 immigrants. It was like a chain that locked the entire Shiwei grassland into the control of Liaodong. It reached the outer Xing'an Mountains in the east, the Okhotsk Sea in the east, and the Hulun Sea in the west. Even so, the army of the Great Sui army circled a circle and appeared in the northeast of the Eastern Turks, changing the previous situation where the Great Sui could only defend the Turks in Hebei and Hedong. The entire Eastern Turks were suddenly surrounded by the north and south sides of the Great Sui Dynasty.

Chen Kefu knew that Yang Guang had been fighting against the Eastern Turks recently, and the envoys from all over the road were sent to the Eastern Turks. Now that he killed the small tribe of Shi Wei, the Liaodong soldiers and horses suddenly appeared behind the Eastern Turks. It would undoubtedly be a new situation for the Sui army to take advantage of the Turks. It has been simple to prevent the past, and to prevent the southern front and the northern side at any time.

He believed that Yang Guang would be very happy to know this result and would pay more attention to the Liaodong Army. This is what he needed the most. As long as Yang Guang still relies on him, then Yang Guang would not be able to hide his birds so quickly.

The army returned south, and was filled with dust.

The soldiers of the Nine Army who had already joined forces a few days ago were very happy to see Chen Ke come back to the city to greet him.

Qin Qiong and other generals dismounted and knelt on one knee, "The last general waited for the great commander to live up to the commander, and finally put down Wei in the room!"

"Okay!" Chen Kefu brought a glass of wine from the tray held by the guards beside him. Other guards had already come to the generals with their glasses and brought a glass of wine for each of them.

"I am so happy to return in triumphant today. The soldiers and horses in Liaodong are in harmony. The younger generation of generals have finally grown up. After today, they will all be generals who can stand on their own. Come on, I will have this cup and congratulate you together!"

"Congratulate Your Majesty, Congratulate Marshal!"

The generals raised their heads and raised them all.

Chen Kefu walked forward, patted this and knocked that one. Most of them were only about twenty years old, and the biggest ones, such as Yuchi Gong, were only twenty-eighth and nineteen. [The younger ones, such as Qin Shubao, Chen Lei and others, were only eighteen or nineteen years old. These were the real young generation, which was cultivated by the young ones.

After half a year of battle on the battlefield, everyone's face was blown a lot by the wind and frost, but they also took off the childishness of the past. The brave young generals from the army grew up to the commander of the army who could stand alone.
