After the eunuch announced the eunuch, he called the guards outside in. { }This time, the four guards who came in brought two large boxes.

One of the strong men carefully took out a brocade box from the burden on his body and handed it to the eunuch Chen Yan.

When you open the brocade box, there are several jade seals inside. For official seals, ordinary officials use copper seals, princes, princes, queens, etc. use gold seals. The emperor's seal is jade, which is called seals. However, the seals inside are jade seals, gold seals, and bronze seals.

Chen Kefu actually didn't say anything, but just took the brocade box coldly and took the seals in his hand to watch. The jade seal was a small jade seal of a tiger. According to Chen Yan's introduction, this was a seal of the crown prince specially carved for His Majesty the crown prince. The gold seal was the seal of the world's military marshals, and the seal on it was also a hidden tiger. The bronze seal was his other two official seals, and the seal was the seal of the Shangshu Provincial Shangshu Ling and the Liaodong Dao Daxing Taixing Taishu Ling.

After reading the seal, Chen Kefu put the seals in the four sides back into the box and handed them over to Chen Lei.

Chen Yan was very happy when he saw Chen Kefu accepting the seal. He hurriedly asked the four men to open the other two big boxes.

"Your Highness, the two boxes are seals with official positions that have not been engraved, and the blanks stamped with the seal of the Ministry of Personnel of the court. As long as your highness fills in their names and sends a list to Jiankang to the court, everything is decided by Your Highness."

Looking at the two big boxes of seals and the stacks of blank official documents, Chen Kefu sneered. It seems that the Chen Chao court has not done anything wrong now. If they really dared to directly grant official positions to the civil and military officials of the Liaodong Army, then it would not be so easy for him to make a promise.

After Chen Lei received the two boxes of official seal documents, Chen Kefu did not give Chen Yan any clear answer, and directly asked Zhang Jin to send him to the south. For Chen Kefu, the sudden change in Jiangnan made him feel a little helpless. No matter how he decided, he had to consider it thoroughly before he could make a decision.

After seeing Jiankang's envoy, Chen Kefu immediately passed an order to ask Tang Jinyun from the Special Service Department to come to see him immediately. He ordered the 50,000 army to continue to go to Yanzhou to compete with Xue Shixiong.

The army was moving forward, and as soon as it left Yan County, a team of cavalry came south in a hurry.

As soon as he saw Chen Kefu's handsome flag, he hurried to meet him.

"Master General, Xue Shixiong's army of 150,000 is extremely powerful, and he has attacked repeatedly in one day.

Deputy General Li led his headquarters to retreat seven times a day. He has retreated past Lu Shui and Xuan Shui, and the army has retreated to Bailang Shui."

It came so fast.

Chen Kefu's first reaction was that Xue Shixiong had completely figured out the strength of Li Jing's troops. If Li Jing really wanted to fight with Xue Shixiong's 150,000 troops, he would have the power to fight. However, if he fought under Linyu Pass, it would be very unlucky. Now Li Jing retreated and stabilized, and retreated step by step, which is the best strategy.

After opening the map for a while, Chen Kefu took Hanmo and drew a circle on the Luhe Town Fortress, the most dangerous fortress in Liucheng County, on the map.

"Immediately hand over this map to Marshal Li and tell him that the general personally led a 50,000 army to Luhe Town first, and asked him to lead the army to continue to retreat eastward to Luhe Town. The troops were divided into two groups, with Mao Yi leading a unit stationed in Liucheng on the left side of Luhe River, and Lu Shishen leading a unit stationed in Luhe River to face Haidun City on the right side, so that Li Wushuai came to Luhe Town to see me."

Chen Kefu was not afraid of Xue Shixiong's pursuit. Li Jing, Lu Shishen and Mao Yi were all generals in the Liaodong army today. With 100,000 soldiers in hand, although they retreated, they would not be caught by Xue Shixiong, the tiger. As long as they retreated to Luhe, Chen Kefu could rely on the three cities of Luhe, Liucheng, and Wanghaidun City to establish a triangular defense area. Xue Shixiong's army, far away from Linyu Pass City, will face the situation of the change of offense and defense.

For a long time, Chen Kefu has been staying on the grassland and marching all day long. Although the Special Service Department will also have news to him, communication is very difficult, and usually only the most important situation will be transmitted over. At this time, when returning to Liaodong, Chen Kefu needs too much time to re-familiarize the current situation.

Luhe Town, Huaiyuan Town and Tongding Town are known as the three major towns in western Liaoning. Chen Kefu also had heavy troops in these three towns, including Tongding 5,000 troops, Huaiyuan 10,000 troops, and Luhe also 10,000 troops. Chen Kefu entered Luhe Town, and the one who stationed this town was General Luo Lin, the first personal guard of the town. Luo Lin followed him for a long time. Although he was only nineteen years old now, he was a high-ranking general in the Liaodong army. Not only because he was the third-rank General Jinwu, but also because he was one of the most trusted generals around the commander, no one dared to underestimate him.

As soon as he entered Luhe Town, Chen Kefu saw that the city was full of busy soldiers, and the city was covered with soldiers guarding the city. Luo Lin was wearing armor and led a team of cavalry to come to "The last general welcomes the general!"

"How far is Marshal Li's military force from here? How long will it take for Xue Shixiong's military force to reach?"

"The story of sending out a variety of spies and coming back first, Marshal Li's army has already rushed to the two cities on both sides. Xue Shixiong is coming back this time, and the vanguard is less than twenty miles away from the Lu River. They did not divide their troops to Liucheng and Linhaidun City, but led a 150,000 army to our Lu River."

Chen Kefu laughed and said, "Good! Xue Shixiong is eager to save his son. When he comes to see Lu Shishen and Mao Yi stay at the left and right, he wants to defeat each one and directly attack the center. Unfortunately, Luhe Town is not the Luhe Town of the past."

The Liaodong Army is not afraid of war, and there are two types of battles that the Liaodong Army has made in recent years. One is a surprise attack in the future. This is how most cities in Goguryeo were captured. Another is that the Liaodong Army is good at fighting in the city. Although the gunpowder weapons in the hands of the Liaodong Army now seem amazing, but in fact they are at most equivalent to the level of gunpowder in the Song Dynasty. However, the army with the five eight gates and a very abundant number of gunpowder will be very amazing when defending the city.

The strongest armed forces of the Liaodong Army were heavy cavalry and Modao Army infantry. In addition, the engineer army of the Liaodong Army, with a large number of gunpowder and crossbow beds and catapults chariots that were amazing. On the contrary, the strong bows and crossbows that had dominated the continent for many years could only rank third among the impact forces of the Liaodong Army. Such an army with a large number of long-range attack powers, and their favorite thing was to defend the city and fight.

In the afternoon, Li Jing led more than a hundred cavalry to Luhe Town. As soon as they arrived, the observation soldiers on the high looking tower in the city had already called the police. The purpose of the Bailang Watermark in front of him was presented with the vanguard army of Xue Shixiong of the Sui army.

This is a light cavalry army, everyone is wearing light armor, and the war horses are only wearing leather armor. The Sui army, which had been chasing for most of the day, was full of dust at this time, and even the vanguard's flag was covered with dust. At first glance, the number of this vanguard army was about 5,000.

When Guo Xiaoke saw the five thousand people rushing directly under the city, and was still raising his sword to show his power, he hurried forward to ask for orders.

"Master, let the bastards of our heavy cavalry go up and destroy them. It's been a long time since we won't fight. These bastards are all itchy." Chen Kefu measured the appearance of the vanguard Sui army. After watching for a while, Chen Kefu smiled and said, "I think it's your boy who is itchy, okay, I will give you this opportunity. I passed the order from this command, Guo Xiaoke led 3,000 heavy cavalry out of the city to break the enemy formation, and Luo Lin led 10,000 light cavalry to encircle and annihilate. I only gave you one hour, within one hour, except for the dead, bring all the remaining cavalry to me.

Guo Xiaoke and Luo Lin were extremely happy to receive the order from the coach. With a whirlwind, they ran down the city with a smile. The generals on the side kept asking to take them with them one by one, even if they didn't bring the army, they could just bring their own personal guards. The Liaodong Army had not fought a war for more than a year. After so long, only Li Jing's troops fought a beautiful ambush under Linyu Pass last time, and they were so addicted to it.

The first person to arrive at the city was the vanguard of Xue Shixiong's troops. This team was originally transferred from Linyu to Zhuo County with Xue Shixiong. Later, there were police officers in Linyu and hurriedly transferred back to Linyu. During this period, they first transferred from Zhuo County to Zhuo County, and then from Linyu to Zhuo County. So they were transferred from Zhuo County to Linyu. They were marched from Zhuo County all day long. When the Liaodong Army attacked Linyu, they were actually not there. So they didn't know the true strength of the Liaodong Army. This time they rushed to Luhe Town as vanguards. The information they knew was that although Luhe Town was dangerous, there were only 10,000 troops, led by Chen Kefu's confidant general Luo Lin.

So he marched along the way to the city and tried his best to challenge his best. He just hoped that if the 19-year-old boy Mao, who had not yet grown up in the city, opened the city to fight. As long as he fought, he would not believe that these elite soldiers and powerful generals who had been fighting on the border for many years would not be able to defeat the boy who had been guarding Chen Kefu to become the guard of the city. If he could take down Luhe before General Xue arrived, he would have a big face. If the four young men of General Xue were in this city, they would have a bright future in the future.

The vanguard cavalry commander, Huyalang General Xue Ding, had a big waist and a round waist. The big figure looked like an infantryman than a cavalry. At this time, he looked at the Luo-character flag on the top of the city and the Liaodong rebels standing on the top of the city, and were extremely satisfied. He waved a large spear in his hand, rode his horse forward, and snatched the Xue-character flag from the hand of a soldier, slapped forward like a gust of wind.

The defenders on the top of the city saw him waving a flag and rushing to the city gate, and rushed to the gate. However, although Xue Dingguo was big, he was extremely flexible on the horse. He dodged left and right, and in a short while he had already passed the arrow rain. He reached a distance of fifty steps in front of the city gate. He saw him sideways and exerting force with both hands. The flag with the embroidered Xue character had been stably inserted into the ground.

After Xue Dingguo planted the flag, he hid in a pedal, avoided several arrows, and returned to his own formation with a roar. The thunderous roars emanated from the Sui army's vanguard. Just now, his general's move was so beautiful. There were so many Liaodong rebels above the city, shooting so many arrows, but he did not hurt the general at all.

Xue Dingguo's performance suddenly stimulated the 5,000 pioneers of the Sui army and his morale surged.

Chen Kefu stood above the city and watched the Sui general's performance with a smile. The Sui general was indeed extraordinary just now. The troops rushed in with one horse before, not only had to avoid the crossbow arrows on the city, but also successfully inserted the flag in front of Luhe Town. He was indeed a powerful general.

"It is said that there are many heroes in Youyan land, and I agree with it. Generals, who knows the identity of this general in front of me?" Chen Kefu asked with a laugh, stroking the short beard under the jaw that had just been raised.

Li Jing, who had just returned, said, "Master, this man is indeed extraordinary. He is Xue Shixiong's brother, surnamed Xue Dingguo. He joined the army at the age of 18, and now he is in his early forties. He has been in his army for more than 20 years. He has been in his prime for more than 20 years. He has been in the grasslands in Hebei for a long time. No one dares to go to his defense zone to herd. He and Luo Yi, Zhuo County, are called the two generals of Youzhou. The two are the most brave in the battle formation, but they are a bit unruly and difficult to obey discipline. Moreover, they are good at killing. In the past, they have invaded the grassland for no reason and pretended to be Fumang to slaughter the small tribes on the grassland. Fortunately, he still has the ability to control him, otherwise, he would probably be another Luo Yi."

Chen Kefu originally admired this general very much, but after listening to Li Jing's introduction, he felt a little complicated. To describe Xue Dingguo in one sentence, it was an absolute thorn. It can be seen from the fact that he dared to often enter the grassland for no reason, slaughter small tribes, and rob property. Although such a person is a good player, it is even more of a big problem to put him in the army.

With a chuckle, Chen Kefu said, "Now I yearn for Xue Laohu's meeting, but I didn't expect that the Xue family would be more powerful than the other. The four little boys were already shocking, and now there is another Xue Dingguo. Okay, I like it. I inform General Guo and General Luo that Xue Dingguo must not be killed by chance. Let them capture him alive!"

Xue Dingguo, who was under the city, was extremely satisfied after showing his skills in front of the army on both sides. With a command, the Sui soldiers, with many officials, were arrogantly running around the city and shouting for killing, and urinating at the top of the city to make a face and grimace. Several soldiers even took off their pants at the top of the city and showed off their white butts to do their best to provoke, which caused the Sui army under the city to burst into laughter.

"Squeak!"

The closed city gate suddenly rang out, and the iron-clad gate suddenly opened to both sides. The suspension bridge pulled up on the top of the city was also slowly lowered by the sound of slings. Xue Dingguo, who was in front of the formation, opened his eyes suddenly and looked at the slowly opened city gate with surprise. He was just randomly provoking and provoking, but he expected that the young boy in the city would be so indifferent, and he actually opened the city gate with such a slight excitement.
