He called the shi girls in the mansion and told them not to disturb the princess for the first time. After the princess woke up, he would go to submit to her. After giving the order, Chen Kefu walked out of the mansion and felt that this fresh morning, he felt more and more refreshed.

"Master General!" Chen Lei was already waiting for him outside the mansion.

Chen Kefu expanded his body and said in a good mood, "Immediately send orders for the generals in the city to gather all the troops and horses, and then bring them with me. Xue Shixiong has been here for a day. How can we, as masters, stay away from seeing each other? Today we will go and meet Xue Shixiong." Several followers of the cavalry following him received orders and turned over the horses and galloped on the streets of Luhe Town in the morning. The iron hooves of the war horse hit the bluestone slabs, making a crisp sound.

Listening to the sound, a feeling of hard work returned to my heart. This was the smell of war and the smell of iron blood. Chen Kefu shook his head with satisfaction and took two hand scrolls from Chen Lei.

He immediately wrote two commandments and stamped his own seal.

"The commander will immediately convey the commander's order to General Lu Shishen of Linhaidun City and General Mao Yi of Liucheng. At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the two armies must reach within twenty miles of the left and right wings of the Sui Army camp in Luhe Town. If there is any outdated, the military law will severely punish you!"

"Get the order!" The two commanders quickly took over the order, went to the contact office of the city's Special Service Department, and sent a secret letter from Feiying.

The soldiers in the city received Chen Kefu's order and gathered quickly in the morning. Teams of infantry began to assemble, arranged in square formations to drive out of the Xicheng, and lined up outside the Xicheng to stand by.

After the infantry left the city, even the engineers began to use horses to carry their weapons out of the city, and formed huge square formations along the outside of the city. Immediately afterwards were the light cavalry troops. Nearly 20,000 light cavalrymen rode their war horses, crossed the city gate, crossed the suspension bridge, separated to the left and right wings, and finally stayed on the two wings of the infantry phalanx.

The movements in Luhe City were long ago, and the detective who had been monitoring the movements in the city quickly told the Sui army that they met Xue Shixiong.

Hearing the report of the horse probe, Xue Shixiong frowned and pondered for a while, "Since the rebels set up a formation, we cannot be afraid, and have deteriorated the majesty of our army. I passed the order of the general, and the whole army went out of the camp to form a formation and prepared to fight." Although he felt that the rebels in the city had a very suspicious behavior. After all, there was a tight city in the city, so it was more appropriate to fight defensive battles. But now seeing the 60,000 soldiers in the city, they dared to take the initiative to leave the city, which made people doubt. Xue Shixiong took the initiative to attack Liaoxi this time, but he really wanted to fight a decisive battle with Chen Kefu. He had just received the news before and was seventy-sixty-one and ten thousand confirmed that Chen Kefu was not in the Liaodong army under Linyu City, and the rebel camp was only 100,000, not a huge military force of 250,000.

Although I don’t know why there is Chen Kefu’s coaching flag in the camp, but the person is not there. Xue Shixiong still thinks this is an opportunity. Passive defense is not the best defense. Sometimes, proper attack and attack instead of defense can gain more strategic initiative.

After discussing with Li Jing, Xue Shixiong brought nearly 90% of the troops from Linyu Pass and took the initiative to leave the city.

According to their previous calculations, if the rebels under the city did not retreat, then they would just attack less and fight for the losses, and they would also annihilate the 100,000 rebels. However, if the rebels retreated, they would just move forward. At present, several peasant rebels in southern Hebei have begun to take shape, and have completely occupied three counties, and cut off the canal and the Yellow River to the north in one fell swoop.

The court's food and salary could no longer be transported north from water, and the Yellow River and the canal had lost the transportation of the Yellow River and the canal. Although the Hebei army had enough food for one year, they also felt the crisis. There is still food in the army now, but the consumption of the people in each city is the largest number. If the canal continues to be blocked, it will not take long before there will be food shortages in various parts of Hebei. Once the food shortage is shortage, more people will definitely take the opportunity to make trouble.

So after thinking for a long time, they planned to send troops to force the rebels to retreat east. Now it is the season when wheat is ripe in western Liaoning. As long as the rebels are forced to retreat east, they can take the opportunity to harvest all the ripe wheat in the fields and transport them back to Linyu to deal with the crisis.

Just last night, Xue Shixiong had sent nearly 20,000 people to harvest a lot of newly ripe wheat. According to Xue Shixiong's plan, the rebels continue to hide in the city, so he divided his troops into three groups to surround the city occupied by the rebels, and then quickly seized all the wheat from western Liaoning.

However, the rebels suddenly left the city, although they broke his intentions. But he was even happier. As long as he defeated the rebels in front of him, he could take the opportunity to defeat the rebels in Liucheng and Linhaidun City one by one, and then attack the Liaohe River and completely defeat the rebels. As long as he took down Liaodong, the countless food and supplies in Liaodong could completely solve the food shortage that Hebei was about to face.

Xue Shixiong's camp was twenty miles apart from Luhe City. After forming a formation outside the camp, he did not lead his army to Luhe City immediately, but was waiting. The performance of the Sui army was a bit surprising, and if something happened abnormal, it would be a monster. He planned to respond to changes in the same way and acted first.

Under Luhe City, in addition to leaving 10,000 soldiers to defend the city, Chen Kefu gathered the remaining 50,000 soldiers and horses. The 50,000 army was crowded with people, especially when standing in front of the formation, in the flags flying all over the sky, spears like forests, and the dazzling bright light armor reflecting the sunlight, you can feel the shocking power of the army even more.

Chen Kefu was wearing a bright silver kirin bright light armor, holding a bright silver spear, and sat on the body of a sassy purple lu, which was like a ball of purple fire. Behind him, the bright silver cloak fluttered in the wind, and the snow-white helmet tassels on the helmet were flying and dancing. People were like tigers, horses were like dragons.

"What do you think of me, Liaodong Army?" Chen Kefu said to the uncle and nephew of the Xue family, the five uncles and nephews of the horse queen.

At this time, the five people had washed and sorted them out, and they had already regained their majestic general's aura and were no longer as embarrassed as they were. They rode their war horses and followed Chen Kefu not far behind them, carefully looking at the world-famous Liaodong Army at close range.

As a defeated general, it was a wonderful feeling to watch his army at such a close distance. Xue Dingguo nodded and said, "The generals and soldiers are famous all over the world, and the Liaodong army is indeed a strong soldier in the world." Since hearing the imperial edict brought by Pei Shiju yesterday, Chen Kefu has treated them with great courtesy.

Although they didn't understand the emperor's meaning, since Chen Kefu not only exempted himself from the crime, but also promoted his title and was promoted to the title, and was named king, these things were not decided by them. Speaking of which, the two parties who were fighting and killing before have now become colleagues in the court. Chen Kefu is even their superior. Although he is not a direct subordinate, Chen Kefu's official position is too high, and they can only obey at such a level.

Xue Wanche said immediately, "Prince, since Your Majesty has issued an order, now the Prince and Liaodong have returned to the court. Why are they now ordering troops to line up? Is the general who is rewarded by the court and still intends to attack his colleagues in the court?" Chen Kefu smiled and said, "General Xue is such a bad word. Although Your Majesty has issued an order to spread the world. However, the mountains are high and the rivers are far away, I am afraid that many people will not know about this matter yet.

This commander is just to send His Majesty the edict to Marshal Xue. Now that His Majesty has re-ordered the troops of the 15 counties in Liaodong, Liaoxi, and Weishi, and has also been granted the title of Marshal of the North Mobei. Then, this commander is the commander of all the troops in Liaodong. Marshal Xue is a general of Hebei. Now that he is rushing into our western Liaoning, this is a cross-border act. I am just going to inform him. I believe that Marshal Xue will know how to advance and retreat after hearing His Majesty's order."

After saying that, Chen Kefu turned around and said loudly, "The soldiers of the three armies obeyed the orders and lined up to advance slowly. If they encountered active attacks, they could counterattack immediately!"

Fifty thousand men and horses were lined up in sequence, with infantry in front, cavalry in both wings, and engineers in the back. The infantry were neatly paced and stepped on the ground in neat rhythms. The cavalry behind,

The engineers also kept a proper distance and kept keeping up.

Twenty miles apart, it is not long or short. If you charge, you can reach it quickly. However, Chen Kefu put out such a large array, but he just advanced slowly, without any rush or slowness.

Xue Shixiong lined up to greet him, but from early morning to morning, and finally until the sun was at its peak. The 50,000 troops of the Liaodong Army moved from the city as slowly as the master soldiers, and sent a distance of less than eighteen miles, and finally stopped just two miles away from the Hebei Army.

In the vast smoke and dust, Xue Shixiong saw a huge Chen-shaped star in the Liaodong army, fluttering in the wind. Under the star, dozens of generals with gorgeous and exquisite armor were located below it. Even from afar, he seemed to see his captured cousin and four sons. Looking closer,

I found that this was true. My four sons and my cousin were all in the Liaodong army at this time.

Xue Shixiong was wearing a fish scale armor, and the iron armor was covered with smoke and dust, and many places were even repaired. Under the iron helmet was a wrinkled and even a little thin. The white beard hung on his face, and his thin face made people unable to believe that this was Xue Shixiong and Xue Dama, one of the eight tiger generals in the northern border of the Sui Dynasty. However, on the dry and thin face, which was full of traces of time, there were bright and wise eyes, and the light flashed.

Looking at the five relatives in the rebel formation, Xue Shixiong's eyes moved for a moment, but then he returned to peace. He had already seen that a silver-armored general under the big flag was Chen Kefu, the leader of the Liaodong rebels. Looking at the figure that he once admired very much, Xue Shixiong sighed in his heart and said in his heart, Chen Pojun, if you want to use Dingguo and Wan Che and others to threaten me, it will not only not play any role, but will only make me look down on you.
