Chapter 464
Preparing to ascend the throne
At the three passes, Chen Kefu sent two old generals to take action and transferred 45,000 troops to guard the three passes. This force was already a very luxurious version, and even Chen Kefu himself had only 30,000 troops left.
Faced with the 100,000 Hebei Army that could open from Linyu Pass at any time, Chen Kefu's 30,000 troops were really too few. Fortunately, there were still 50,000 troops behind him and he would be in the army into Hebei. As long as these 50,000 troops arrived, Chen Kefu, who had 80,000 troops and a strong city, had no fear. What's more, at this time, Xue Shixiong's younger brother, son, and his family were all in the hands of the Liaodong Army. It was probably difficult for them to be tough.
Luo Cheng over there participated in the Liaodong Army's military convention for the first time, and she was very low-key and did not say anything from beginning to end. However, after listening for so long, she had a deeper understanding of the strength of the Liaodong Army. Especially for Chen Pojun, as the leader of the army, he was very humble and always stood there and listened very seriously to the opinions of each general. Even if he was just as nonsense as Cheng Yaojin and Luo Shixin, the two demon kings, he didn't care.
After the meeting, Luo Cheng stayed.
"Do you stay in my coach's camp tonight?" Chen Kefu smiled.
Luo Cheng blushed slightly, and his jade face turned into pink.
"Master, I want to send Uncle Wu to Linyu Pass in person, but I am afraid that the letter will not be able to explain it clearly. Uncle Wu followed my father for more than 20 years and with him in person, the effect should be better. Although the General still has 50,000 reinforcements about to arrive, if Linyu Pass sends troops, it will disrupt the rhythm in front of us. If my father can be motivated, and he will contact all the commanding generals in Linyu Pass, maybe we can easily solve these troops in Linyu Pass."
Chen Kefu was silent for a while. Although he was so obedient and even a little proactive about Luo Cheng's performance, he felt a little uncomfortable. But when he thought about it from another perspective, the general trend in Hebei has basically been determined, and it would be difficult for them to make a fuss. Perhaps the smart Luo Cheng understood this point, so he was so proactive in promoting Luo Yi's surrender.
Moreover, Chen Kefu was not afraid that Luo Cheng would ask Luo Wu to betray him. Even if Luo Wu went to Linyu just to report the message to the Hebei army, there was nothing scary. Linyu Pass was in the east but not in the west, and was in the two sides of Chen Kefu and the Liaoxi camp, and they had no way to advance and retreat.
If you use a little risk to exchange for a transaction that may earn dozens of times the profit, what is worth it for Chen Kefu to think.
"Okay, you have your own idea of this matter. My attitude has already told you that since you are willing to be my woman, your family is my family. If they can surrender to us as soon as possible, it will be a very good thing. You can ask Luo Wu to tell your father that if there is something to do, let him help contact the righteous man in Hebei. But if it is not done, don't force him, just let him just take his own people to Liaoxi first or Hebei first. Don't force it, if there is any damage, it will be bad. In my opinion, the Hebei army in Guanzhong, Linyu will sooner or later be included in my Chen Pojun's tent."
Luo Cheng nodded, "Then I'll go."
Looking at Luo Cheng's figure leaving, Chen Kefu felt a little complicated. He didn't expect that he would get things done with the third lady of the Luo family. He turned around and thought that among the 50,000 reinforcements that arrived immediately, the eldest son, the commander of the Silla Princess Jin Shengman, the female princess of the Wagangshan family, and the commander of the Phoenix Female Army, the female general Zhai Wushuang, the commander of the Phoenix Female Army, personally led 5,000 troops to cheer, even the Hongfu girl Zhang Chuchen was coming. Originally, Changsun Wugui was coming, but Chen Kefu did not dare to let the No. 1 lady who is now designated in Liaodong come to the battlefield.
Even the arrival of Jin Shengman, Zhang Chuchen and Zhai Wushuang who arrived immediately made him feel a little troubled. Especially Zhai Wushuang, Chen Kefu was a little afraid of her now. He didn't agree to take her to Liaodong at the beginning, and this aunt couldn't change her temperament anywhere she went. Even in Liaodong, it was a mess. Especially when he saw his three concubines about to give birth, he even bluntly said that she would give birth to a child for Chen Kefu. This made Chen Kefu feel sad. Chen Kefu had no objection to his aunt's female army. However, there was no such thing as her in this world. She was not her own wife or a concubine, and she dared to blatantly claim to give birth to him. Fortunately, he now has only three concubines in his name, even Changsun Wugui and Yang Jier in Liaodong have not been married yet, otherwise that would be fine.
Three women are in a play, and I found that there is another one here. I don’t know if the 50,000 troops they brought to help him or beat him.
He sighed, and then thought about Jiangnan again. He felt even more annoyed. He never thought that Jiangnan would come out like this at the beginning. There was no such organization in history, and I don’t know how it appeared. If it were only Jiangnan, he would not be afraid, but now his cheap father is in their hands.
What's more important is that even though he knew that the emperor was a puppet who was manipulated, he could not rob his father back. Perhaps for his father, although the result was a bit tortuous, the result was still the same. After regaining Chen Chao and becoming the emperor, he could not send a group of masters to Emperor Jiankang's dragon throne and rob his son back, right? This is also a master of Wuming. How could he rob me of my son from the throne? What is this? Should people in the world say that Chen Kefu wants to sit in that position?
What made him even more depressed was that it was too late to snatch his father back. He had already used his father to use the sign of Nan Chen Fuguo. Now he snatched him back, he was just a white-haired old man. One wrong step, one wrong step.
After missing a move, Jiangnan Association is now in the lead. Originally, Chen Kefu was planning to use the navy to cross the sea from Liaodong to rob, but now it is better. In name, it is his Chen family. People took the initiative to help him restore the country and help him the emperor. Even he did nothing, and they even let him be the crown prince. But the more this happens, Chen Kefu is more unhappy.
The fifty-one counties in the south of the Yangtze River actually became someone else's territory in such a vague way.
What worries him even more was that his father, who had never married since his mother died of childbirth, actually married another woman from the Shen family, who was still his aunt in his seniority. The Special Service Department also sent back a message saying that according to rumors inside and outside the Jiankang Palace, it is said that Shen, who was named the queen after she first married Chen Shen, was already pregnant.
Of course he understood what was going on. Chen Shen was promoted by Shen Faxing. Even the southern Chen capital Jiankang was directly under the control of Shen Faxing's troops. Shen Faxing wanted him to marry the Shen family's daughter, so he immediately turned around and asked his father to marry another one. He even got pregnant. Regardless of whether it was true or not, at least their intentions were obvious. People planned to just be as long as he was, and they did not plan to ask for this prince.
When Chen Kefu received this news, he planned to send Zhang Zhongjian to take his navy with him several times, and attack Jiangnan and attack Jiankang. After thinking about it, it would be a question whether this navy that had just formed an army could attack the Yangtze River. Even if it really attacked, it would be difficult to steal people. Think about it again, Jiangnan will be in the south and he is in the north, so temporarily ignoring each other is the best way to deal with it.
"Knowing the truth, let me tell you, Jiangnan will make my father the emperor and restore my Chen Dynasty. However, the people in power in the court are all the families of various aristocratic families in Jiangnan. What should I do?" Chen Kefu said to Cheng Yaojin beside him. Although Cheng Yaojin, the demon king of the world, is serious, sometimes there is a certain reason for him to be confused.
Cheng Yaojin and Luo Shixin were each gnawing a roast chicken, their mouths full of oil and said whispering: "This matter is easy, it is easy to say, and it is difficult to say."
"Oh, tell me."
"When the news of the old man's restoration of the country and becoming emperor was sent back to Liaodong, Mr. Mao and others were very happy. Even Mao Yi, Lao Lu and others were similar. Mr. Mao even packed up his things and prepared to go to Jiankang to accompany him. Fortunately, there was another news later, and everyone knew that the old man was just for those from the Jiangnan Association to use it."
Chen Kefu knew about this. Although Mao Xi and others had all their hearts to assist him before, they were originally officials of Prince Chen Shen. Chen Shen was their real king, and Chen Kefu was just the little master.
"Master, in my opinion, this matter is easy to deal with. According to what Master said, the Emperor of Sui has not been able to survive for a few days, and the Sui Dynasty is about to perish. The new dynasty replaces the old dynasty. As today, those with strength are just the group of clans in Liaodong, Wagang, Jiangnan Association, Hedong and Guanlong. Although the Jiangnan Association is nominally the same family as us, in fact, we know the family affairs. The Jiangnan Association is the real shameless person who steals the Zheng's things. Didn't they claim to restore the Chen Dynasty? The Zhengzhou General simply sent his brothers to Jiankang to steal the old man back. We can also restore the Chen Dynasty in Liaodong, Hebei. At that time, whether it is to let the old man become the emperor first or the Zhengzhou General, you will just be the same. This Chen Dynasty is the Chen Dynasty."
As soon as the devil king of the world finished speaking, Luo Shixin, the murderous demon king who was beating, also threw the chicken bones that had just been gnawed aside. He continued, "What Lao Cheng said makes sense. We will have a fight with Jiangnan sooner or later, and it is different from other families. With other people, we may surrender them, but if you die or I die, there is no second possibility. Now Jiangnan will steal the Chen family’s reputation for restoring the country. The longer the time is delayed, the more likely it is to make the Jiangnan dog thieves proud. In a few years, who will remember which Chen Chao is? Then he will suffer. The first move is the best. The commander, why don’t Lao Cheng and I take some brothers to Jiankang directly? At that time, we dared to break into the Ziwei Palace of Emperor Yang Guanggou. Are we still afraid that a Jiankang Palace would not be successful?"
Cheng Yaojin finally finished the roast chicken in his hand, and said carelessly while smearing oily mouth, "Master, I think, let's just establish the country directly. Master, you can ascend the throne and become emperor. It's a matter of thieves, anyway, this is a matter of time. It's better to do it early than to do it late. At that time, if you want to call Chen Chao, you can call Chen Chao, and if you want to call Liao Chao, you can call Liao Chao, and even if you call Yan Chao, no one will care about you. As for those birds from Jiangnan Association, we can compete with them sooner or later. No matter which emperor he wants to be, we don't care about their Jiangnan water town."
When Chen Kefu heard this, his eyes were lit. In the past, he actually had many expectations for Jiangnan. He remembered that in history, Xiao Xian, the royal family of Liang Kingdom, had responded to the situation in Jiangnan and occupied most of the southern land in a short period of time. He had this intention at the beginning, hoping to use the identity of the Chen Dynasty royal family in Jiangnan to attract more talents after the uprising of the army and use it for himself. Even when the world was in chaos, he would immediately go out to Jiangnan to develop. At that time, there would be a solid base in Liaodong in the north, and a densely populated and rich-funded territory in the south to develop.
But now things have come to an end, and all developments cannot be decided by oneself. Jiangnan has indeed changed overnight, but in fact it is controlled by the aristocratic families in Jiangnan. The things that change overnight may one day disappear. Just like Xiao Xian, it comes quickly and goes quickly. After thinking about it, it is still the right way to develop steadily like yourself. Ten birds in the forest are not as good as one bird in hand.
The Jiangnan Association has 51 counties, but there are many factions, and it is simply a mess. Now it is just for the common interests to be combined. If the imperial army turns around, it is afraid that there will be changes again. On the contrary, its Liaodong army has a stable base, and the current good situation in Hebei and Shandong is the way that I should take. Although Jiangnan is good, it is the Jiangnan family. Most of my subordinates are heroes from Shandong, Hebei and Hebei. I am worried about Jiangnan, but I am afraid that I will not adapt to the local conditions.
After sitting there silent for a long time, Chen Kefu smiled and patted the two demon kings on the shoulders, "Okay, that's right, just as you said, we will have a grand ceremony for the ascension of the throne in a few days, and we will also be enfeoffed as civil and military officials."
The two demon kings were stunned for a moment, but they didn't expect that they would be quick and careless. The Grandmaster really believed it? At this time, they couldn't help but feel a little scared, "Master, you can't tell the truth, right? We are two fools, and we have always been a little slower than others. I just said so casually, Damaster, don't take it seriously. If we believe something goes wrong with us, we can't afford to pay."
Chen Kefu just smiled slightly, "I have already thought about it, and I will start preparing in the past few days to change Zhuo County into Beijing City and establish Liaoyang City as the capital of Tokyo. Immediately prepare for the auspicious day of the zodiac sign and hold the throne ceremony as soon as possible. If we want to compete for the world, we must become famous and make the world suspicious."
