Chapter 490 Ignorance and fearlessness
"Zhang Jin said that Shandong Raptors crossed the river and suppressed Hebei local snakes. Seeing that he had successively annexed Sun Anzu and Liu Badao, I'm afraid this person has a big appetite, so I probably have the idea of Hejian County again." Chen Kefu frowned and was walking in the hall while talking.
The ministers in the hall also frowned, and Gao Shida occupied Hejian County. Hejian County and Zhuo County were bounded by Zhuo County, just south of Zhuo County. If Gao Shida was defeated by Zhang Jincheng, Zhang Jincheng would be accompanied by hundreds of thousands of peasant troops by then, even if the Beijing court was not afraid of him, he would be very passive.

Li Jing, Minister of War, said, "Gao Shida occupied Hejian, and I heard that his subordinates were strong and their power should not be underestimated. If Zhang Jinsheng really went to attack Gao Shida, it would be fine, and he was only worried that Zhang Jinsheng would turn west to attack Qinghe County and Xindu County, or cross the Yellow River to the south to attack Qi County and Beihai County in Shandong. If he attacked south, then the nine counties that are empty in the southwest of Hebei now are likely to fall into his hands. Even if he has always come, Shandong is equally empty at this time, and it is possible that it will defeat Qu Tutong and seize Shandong. It may even lead the Chen Dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River to march northward, and the situation will be troublesome at that time." Everyone understood what Li Jing meant. Although Zhang Jinsheng's subordinates were mostly mobs, they were large and powerful. If they really attacked west or turned back to Shandong, then the empty counties in Shandong and southwest of Hebei could not stop them.
What they fear most was not other things, but that these peasant army, called peasant rebels, actually plundered various counties for bandits. At that time, these locust-like farmers swept across the counties one by one. Even if they rushed to defeat Zhang Jincheng, they would not be able to recover the damage caused by these bandits for the time being.
It is difficult to build a county and a county well, but it is too easy to destroy it.
Although the Liaodong Army is not considered a regular army, it has been strict military regulations over the years.
In Liaodong, in addition to fighting Goguryeo, it is more time to build. Everyone knows how difficult life is in today's troubled times. Even in Liaodong, life has become much harder because the Liaodong army and the imperial court have long been in opposition. Not to mention in the Central Plains such as Hebei and Shandong, the years of exploitation of the imperial court and the peasant army have already made people everywhere suffer.
Now that the Liaodong Army has entered Hebei, the people of Hebei will be under the rule of the Liaodong Army. The 18 counties in Hebei have a population of over one million. If Zhang Jin is allowed to rob the mess in the future, the Liaodong Army will take over. Not to mention anything else, more than one million people can eat up a mountain every day.
Li Benlei, chief of staff of the General of the General of the Jinwu Guard, naturally understood this, but he still told the truth about the Liaodong army. "Your Highness, the 40,000 troops mobilized from Liaodong have arrived outside Beijing, but the originally planned Khitan and other allied troops will have to reach Hebei for about a month. Although we have nearly 500,000 troops in Hebei, in fact, there are not many soldiers available." 500,000 people sounds like a big number. At least during the Kaihuang Renshou period of the Great Sui Dynasty, the regular soldiers of the Great Sui Dynasty were only 600,000 to 700,000. If the Liaodong army had 500,000 people alone, the number was not huge.
But in fact, Chen Kefu and the generals understood that this was just a number on the books.
Among these 500,000 people, Hebei's surrendered soldiers reached 230,000, the Khitan and other tribes reached about 50,000. The real Liaodong army had only about 220,000 soldiers, but there were about 30,000 Turkic prisoners among the 220,000 people. Among the remaining 190,000 people, more than 120,000 soldiers were stationed at the five major passes at Linyu Pass, Jundu Pass, Feihu Pass, Puyin Pass, and Jingpi Pass. The remaining less than 70,000 people, of which 30,000 were stationed in Beijing City, and another 10,000 troops were stationed in six counties. The real opportunity available was only 30,000 troops.
In addition to the troops stationed in various pass cities and Beijing, the Liaodong Army, the Turkic prisoners and allied troops, as well as the Hebei surrendered troops, there were also more than 300,000. However, there were too many surrendered troops in Hebei. After not being fully reorganized, Chen Pojun did not dare to use such a large army to fight with confidence. On the contrary, the Liaodong Army now has too many troops and is used to monitor the reorganization of the Hebei Army.
"How was the reorganization of the Hebei surrendered army?" At an extraordinary moment, Chen Pojun also knew that he could not follow the original plan step by step.
Li Benlei said, "According to the original plan... After the Hebei Army was disrupted and reorganized, it would have to train here for three months. Then, according to performance, sent about one-third back to Liaodong and other places to guard. Now, it has only been about half a month since the training was carried out, and has reorganized 100,000 surrendered troops into the Liaodong Army as planned. The Liaodong Army could not digest too much for a while, so it could only take one step at a time. Otherwise, I am afraid that too many of the Hebei Surrendered will not only affect the combat effectiveness of the Liaodong Army, but also easily cause instability in the army." Chen Kefu shook his head and said, "I
We don’t have so much time. The situation in Hebei is changing now, so we must start preparing for the next attack. The Special Service Department heard that the situation in Taiyuan City has become increasingly clear. I am afraid that it will take not long to decide the victory or loss in the Taiyuan City battle. No matter who wins, it will be impossible to abandon half of Jiangnan. They will definitely lead their troops south. The situation in Hebei and Shandong will be different at that time. We cannot miss the current great time. Only by grabbing Hebei and Shandong first can we truly have the strength to compete for the world.
"Director Li, how has your investigation department been doing recently about Luo Yi?" Chen Kefu said to Li Wangsheng, the director of the investigation department.
"When you go back to your Highness, according to the supervision of our investigation department, Luo Yi has not had much contact with the generals of the Hebei Army. Instead, he has taken the initiative to contact with our civil and military officials from Liaodong every day. However, the surrendered generals in Hebei are in panic. Many generals often go to him, leaving Xue Shixiong behind, and regard Luo Yi as the leader of the Hebei Army."
The Investigation Department has the power to supervise and has supervision over these surrendered generals. Naturally, Luo Yi's family is also under supervision. Now Luo Yi realizes that he opened Linyu Pass that day, killed Li Jing, and surrendered to Chen Pojun with more than 200,000 Hebei troops. Jiazhi knows that his daughter has become Chen Pojun's man, and he is also very proud. Although he is a little restrained for a while, he is also a total of % of the ministers and military generals who are competing with the hearts of the people. He does not treat himself as a surrendered general, and he does not interact with the Xue family of the aristocratic family.
After listening carefully, Chen Kefu was a little disgusted with Luo Yi's character. However, at this time he needed someone like him who knew the current affairs. Although Xue Shixiong's family surrendered to him on the surface, they actually didn't cooperate very well. Even the reorganization matters were a bit ignoring.
After walking around the hall with his hands behind his back for a few more times, Chen Kefu said, "I think so, draw a soldier of about 50,000 from the Hebei army, and then incorporate 20,000 Liaodong army and 30,000 Turkic prisoners of war.
The troops were mixed, with Li Jing, Minister of War, as the chief of the marching, Luo Yi as the deputy chief of the marching, Mao Yi as the chief of the marching, and Chen Guang as the marching, and a group of Hebei generals who sincerely surrendered were transferred into the army, and the reorganization was stepped up, ready to go south at any time."
The situation in Hebei can only be decided early. However, Chen Kefu refused to go south, and the fire in the backyard would fall. After thinking about it, he would still defend himself. He first conquered Luo Yi and 50,000 Hebei troops into the army, and then marched south. The remaining 100,000 Hebei troops would have to be more time to train and digest.
The next day, Li Jing and Luo Yi began to recruit troops, quickly assembled 100,000 troops, and then began reorganization training.
"Your Majesty, Zhang Jinzhuo sent an envoy to ask for his visit!" The internal shi official reported in a low voice.
Today is the 10th day of the dynasty meeting, and Yang Gao also sat on the dragon throne. However, although he sat upright on the dragon throne, he actually didn't know where his heart was flying. He couldn't listen to a word about the discussions of the ministers in the hall. While sleeping, he suddenly heard someone interrupting the discussions of Chen Pojun and others. He also woke up suddenly. He looked at Chen Pojun and saw the prime minister Chen Pojun nodding and said, "Hurry up!"
"The last general Zhang Sili pays homage to Marshal Chen!"
The envoy Zhang Jin called was a big man with a beard with a big beard with a big beard. When he was taken to the Taihe Hall in the palace, he looked around. When he entered the Taihe Hall, he was also very rude. When he saw the Emperor Yang Gao sitting on the dragon throne, he did not go forward to salute.
He looked around and looked around for a long time and finally found Chen Pojun. He walked over with the boots. He did not bend down or kneel down. He just clasped his fists like a man in the martial arts world, even if he saluted.
Chen Kefu saw that this man was obviously a military general, but he was wearing a robe from the fifth grade or above to the third grade. He had a gold belt around his waist and a black hat that was not as good as a wheel on his head. He looked very strange.
Just a glance, Chen Kefu had already determined in his heart that this man must have been a bandit, and the various things on his body were probably stolen from those officials. Seeing that he didn't understand any etiquette, he came in and did not pay homage to the emperor, but he was still displeased with Marshal Chen who was so careless.
"Zhang Jin said that you will come here, what do you want to say to me?" Chen Kefu looked at the messenger coldly and said.
The messenger Yang Sili said arrogantly, "The General of the Last came here on the order of my general. I heard that General Chen had brought Yang Guang's son to the throne a few days ago and got a title for himself. He also granted more than ten titles in one breath. My general now occupies two counties in Hebei and has 200,000 troops, so he sent the General of the Last General to seek a title. My General has said that he can only grant the title of Bohai King. As for official positions, he can just grant the title of Shangshu Ling or something."
Chen Kefu laughed without being angry, "Oh, Zhang Jinsheng really said that?"
