Chapter 671
The night is as cool as water, the night is as dark as a curtain, and the wind is as cool as a message, who knows the loneliness of being alone?
Chen Kefu stood solemnly on the fifth deck of the Anlan Building. The night wind with a slight smell of water on the Yellow River surface blew his cloak and bright red helmet tassels, but it did not cause any changes on his face.
He pressed the Emperor's Sword Chixiao Sword, which symbolized the emperor's honor, and there were more than a hundred tall and hideous giant ships surrounding him. Thousands of troops were waiting for their orders, holding the right to kill people. He seemed so glorious and majestic, but who knew that Chen Kefu was nervous under his appearance?
In the end of the troubled times, heroes emerged. The times created heroes, but heroes were also changing history. The storms and clouds changed, and no one knew what the world would look like after the sun rises tomorrow.
This is a time of insecurity and a time of confusion. Not only are the ordinary people in the life of the fighters trembling, but also the heroes and commanders of thousands of troops like Chen Kefu are walking on thin ice and cautious.
In the battle for dominance of the world, at first, the wind and clouds were always surging and wars were everywhere. But in the end, they always return to the same destination. Looking at the past history, it is generally like this. Chen Kefu remembered that Li Jing once summarized that all dynasties, when the uprisings were mostly in the southeast, but the final return was mostly in the northwest. He also said that all dynasties and the uprisings of the dynasties were mostly peasants. But whenever they buried the old dynasties, those real nobles of aristocrats would rise up.
History is always surprisingly similar. From Chen Sheng and Wu Guang to the Yellow Turban Uprising, no matter how powerful the peasant rebels made a fuss, they always win the world in the end, but they always represent the heroes who represent the aristocratic bureaucrats.
Li Jing's words hit the nail on the head, and farmers can disrupt the world but not win the world. Although the southeast and the central plains are always a must-fight for war, all the powerful people who originated in the southeast and the Central Plains. Generally, there are few people who can laugh to the last. The northwest has always been the most important one. The second is the northeast.
Chen Kefu agrees with these words quite well. In the chaotic times at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the peasant rebels in the world made the most powerful and famous, especially in Henan, Hebei, Shandong, and Jianghuai. But just a few years have passed. The rebels in Hebei are now only one Wei Daoer, and they are trapped in a corner of the southwest of Hebei. The destruction is only in front of us. The rebels in Shandong and Huaibei were swept away, either destroyed or destroyed, and the remaining small parts have all fled to Henan and joined Li Mi.
Although Li Mi from Henan was called the leader of the Tianxia Yi Army.

On the contrary, the Liaodong Army, which occupied the most bitter and cold land back then, is now step by step, moving south step by step, becoming the strongest force in the world.
Chen Kefu now occupied Liaodong and took charge of Hebei. He controlled Shandong and Huaibei, and could be said to have a small half of the sky. He first occupied a corner of Hebei and then occupied one side of Shandong. With Liaodong as the stable rear, Hebei as the center, Shandong and Hedong as the two wings, he can reach the Central Plains.
This is the strategic plan that Chen Kefu discussed with Li Jing and others at the beginning, but the plan is dead, and people live. Chen Kefu was able to have today because he was definitely not a dogmatist, otherwise he would not have today. It can be seen that he was devoted to developing Liaodong, a place that no one cared about.
For Chen Kefu, Li Jing's strategy was a well-consistent plan, a very safe and superior strategy. According to this plan, we should advance step by step, seize land and compete for urban population first, and crush it step by step.
However, in Chen Kefu's mind, it was a long-term plan. There was also a radical plan, which was to focus on annihilation of the enemies blocking the unification. In today's chaotic times, from Yang Guang's death to the present, there was not many years of chaos. Although there were many powerful people in the world who ruled one side, the time was still short and there was no real stable local rule. Especially in the current situation, Hedong has become a chaotic battlefield. The local powerful forces in Hedong and Longshang, the Guanlong Group and the former royal forces, and all parties have entered this place that is critical to the north.
The chaos in Hedong not only made Chen Kefu a headache, but also made Chen Kefu look forward to it. The more forces they join the melee, the harder it is to divide Hedong into divisions in a short period of time. Hebei is originally a rich place, and it is also the base of the Guanlong Group's forces. Such a place has too strong local power. Chen Kefu can also take real occupation for a while. If they fight fiercely, it will not only consume the strength of all parties to participate in the fight, but also completely destroy the powerful forces of the local tribes in Hedong.
To a certain extent, the chaos in Hedong made Chen Kefu not have to worry about the safety of Hebei's left wing in a short period of time. The more fierce they fought, the safer the barrier of Taihang Mountain in Hebei would be. Instead, he could pull out his hands and do his best to clean up other places.
Although Wei Daoer in southern Hebei has 400,000 people, Chen Kefu no longer takes him seriously. After the comprehensive deployment, Chen Kefu has wiped them out in his heart. What he really wants to deal with is the most powerful force of the peasant army, and will also be the only peasant army force after Wei Daoer in Hebei was destroyed.
Although Li Mi and Wang Shichong and others fought in the Central Plains for several years, they broke one of the Central Plains in a ragged manner, like a mud. However, in Chen Kefu's eyes, in the current Central Plains region, he had a lot of weight in his eyes.
Even a year earlier, if Li Mi asked him to go to the Central Plains and handed over to him, Chen Kefu would not blink his eyes and would definitely refuse immediately. Because at that time, he had a melee between the four sides and he himself did not have a stable rear. He would rashly go south and would only fall into a heavy siege. The strongest tiger would eventually die in the siege of wolves, shedding every drop of blood to death.
However, today is different from the past. With the stable rear of Hebei and stable logistical support, Chen Kefu has cleared all obstacles to going south to the Central Plains. Now that he only needs to seize the Central Plains, the current long-belt territory in Hebei will be broken. Although Chen Kefu's previous territory was large, he owned Liaodong, Hebei, Shandong, and Huaibei. However, Liaodong, Hebei is north of the Yellow River, Shandong, and Huaibei is south of the Yellow River. This narrow and long shape is just across the Central Plains in the middle.
Chen Kefu captured the Central Plains, and could unravel this thin, long snake-shaped state, so that it could avoid weak middle waists. As long as he mastered the Central Plains, he could not only connect all parts into a large area to form a broad and deep strategic depth, but also connect the two huge mountains of Taihang Mountains and Dabie Mountains from north to south, forming a solid strategic line of defense, and push the deployment of the troops to the western front line.
In addition to the Taihang Mountains and Dabie Mountain defense line to the west, Chen Kefu also possesses the north-south depth of the Yangtze River, Yellow River, and North-South Canals, and is equivalent to having a complete transportation line that connects the north-south east-south east-west. It not only strengthens logistics, but also accelerates the ability to transport troops.
As long as he took down Henan in the Central Plains, Chen Kefu could immediately build an overall defense with the Yangtze River as the defense in the southwest, the Dabie Mountains and the Canal as the defense line, and the Taihang Mountains as the defense line in the northwest. With these, three-pointers of the world are completely in hand, who else has the opponent in the world?
At present, other obstacles to this strategic plan have been eliminated, and the only remaining target is Li Mi. According to the original plan, Chen Ke will not fight with Li Mi in the stage of resurrection. At least, he will have to pacify the Wei Daoer and the Hedong counties in Hebei, and then go south to the Central Plains. It is even possible that he will turn back to the Central Plains after he takes Hedong and then advances west to Guanzhong.
However, now Chen Kefu has changed this plan. Hedong is temporarily shelved, and Hebei Wei Daoer continues to siege, but instead is preparing to fight with Li Mi first.
This is not Chen Kefu's arrogant behavior, but his plan cannot keep up with the changes. Li Mi suddenly defeated Wang Shichong, forcing Chen Kefu to go west to Mengjin to join Wang Shichong to constrain Li Mi and prevent him from walking out of the quagmire in the Central Plains and occupying the center of the world.
The conspiracy of Li Yuan and his son finally killed Wang Shichong, which further pushed the Jianghuai Army, which had been defeated once, into the abyss. If Chen Kefu did not take action, then the Jianghuai Army will definitely be difficult to stop Li Mi again. There is even a great possibility that when Chen Kefu wiped out Hebei, Li Mi also wiped out the Central Plains. At that time, a real battle with Li Mi will have to happen.
Chen Kefu is confident in defeating Li Mi, but one is the strongest army in the world, and the other is the most soldiers in the world. If two tigers fight, one will be injured. Even if Chen Kefu defeats Li Mi, he may lose control of the situation. The Chen Dynasty in Jiangnan, Yang Ming in Jianghan, and the chaos in Hedong are all unstable factors. No one knows when the war with Li Mi will end. Perhaps when he finally defeated Li Mi, there will be huge changes around him.
Chen Kefu did not want such a result, weakening the enemy, and sometimes strengthening himself. Before Li Mi could wipe out Henan, he once again hit him hard and hurt him so that he could not climb out of this big quagmire in Henan. This is the method Chen Kefu is most willing to see and is the most in his interests.
Every family has difficult scriptures to recite. When Chen Kefu was constantly worried about his strategic plan based on the current situation and revising his strategic plan, Feng Fu was also worried. Although he went north this time, he finally found a way out for Lingnan. Although his joint efforts with Chen Kefu meant that Lingnan had completely broken with Nanchen and completely irreconcilable with Jianghan, Feng Fu still believed in his heart that his decision was right.
After boarding Chen Kefu's warship, Feng Hua also understood that he and Chen Kefu shared the same friendship. Now Chen Kefu suddenly decided to fight Li Mi, which made Feng Hua both happy and worried. What was happy was that if Chen Kefu won in this battle, the situation in Henan would change immediately. As long as Chen Kefu defeated Li Mi, Chen Kefu's army would directly face Shannan and border directly with Jianghan. In this way, Lingnan would no longer have to face Jianghan's troops alone.
But on the other hand, she was worried that Hebei is now her last backer. If Chen Kefu was defeated, how could Chen Kefu have reinforcements going south?
