The best and the worst

The ministers in the tent turned to look at Chen Kefu, the last seat. At this time, Chen Kefu came directly from the battlefield, and was still covered in armor. In the purple robe in the tent, it seemed a bit conspicuous.

Chen Kefu stood up from the mat, bowed to Yang Guang and said, "Your Majesty, although I have never seen the traitor Yang Xuangan and his scheming leader Li Mi. I have also heard of the names of these two people. I know that these two people cannot be compared with the rebellious people in Shandong, Henan, Jiangbei and now. Although the Er Ni is not comparable to those of you, they are all talented people. If we are too careless about them, we may suffer a loss."

At this time, Yang Yichen and Yuwen Shu had not left. When they heard this, Yuwen Shu smiled and said, "What can Yang Ni be so powerful? I remember that when I followed the Emperor to conquer the world, he was not yet born. When I followed the Emperor to conquer the world, Yang Ni was afraid he was still breastfeeding. For such a young master with a high-minded attitude, it would be enough to have me, let alone General Yang. You should not worry too much about Pojun. Just a traitor is enough."

Yang Yichen also laughed a few times, "Is it not that Pojun wants to quell the rebellion together? But your performance has been eye-catching recently. Let us old swords go, and it also proves that we are not rusted yet. You should stay by your Majesty's side and protect your Majesty's safety is best."

When the ministers heard this, they laughed and thought that Chen Kefu wanted to follow him, and wanted to take this opportunity to make a contribution.

Yang Guang smiled, "Chen Pojun, you don't have to go. Your 10,000 people are only 5,000 light cavalry, and half of them are heavy cavalry. What is needed to quell the rebellion this time is speed. Besides, the soldiers of the Pojun camp were tired after many battles, so let them rest first. This Goguryeo is still going to be destroyed, and are you still afraid that there will be no chance to make meritorious service?"

Chen Kefu smiled, "Your Majesty and all the adults misunderstand what I mean. Although I have not read many books, I have read many military books and war books since I entered the military camp. I know some military strategy circles. Now Yang Ni is in Hebei and rebelled and cut off my food and supplies. All the adults think they can be easily captured, but they ignore a very important thing."

Seeing Chen Kefu's words so seriously, Yang Guang couldn't help but become serious, "I ignored something, you said, if you say it well, I will be rewarded."

"Your Majesty, I think Yang Ni's rebellion. Your Majesty thinks if you think from the perspective of others, what will happen to Yang Ni's next step? Chen Kefu asked.

"Think from the perspective of others?"

"Oh, I just consider the situation in front of them from Yang Ni's perspective and guess the direction of their next move."

Pei Renji, the general of the Left Wu Guard, said distractedly, "It's still necessary to guess. Of course, they are recruiting soldiers and siege cities and plundering land."

Chen Kefu smiled and said, "General Pei is right. Of course they will recruit soldiers and horses to capture the city and plunder the land. But after recruiting soldiers and horses, where will they attack the city and plunder the land? Now that Yang Nichu rebelled, only 10,000 people, he will definitely not sit in Li Yang to wait for our army to encircle and suppress. So they will definitely attack the city, but where will they go?"

"Yang Ni is the eastern capital of Luoyang, and Yang Ni is the most likely to fight Luoyang. Luoyang is the capital. As long as he takes Luoyang, the world will be shaken." Lao Nayan Su Wei said.

His words clearly represent the views of many ministers. Now that the Central Plains are empty, the army and generals in the court are following the emperor's expedition in the east. It can be said that the Central Plains does not have much defensive power, and even the capital Luoyang does not have many soldiers. If Yang Ni really attacks Luoyang, this is undoubtedly a good choice. As long as the Luoyang is captured, the families of the ministers, the royal family of the Great Sui family, etc. will fall to Yang Ni, which will undoubtedly be a great harm to the Great Sui Dynasty.

Chen Kefu nodded and shook his head again, "The old man said only one of them right. Now my million-strong army, Your Majesty Sui, personally led a campaign to Goguryeo, all in Liaodong. If I were Yang Xuangan and Li Mi, then there are three strategies to choose from. No matter which of these three strategies, they will be very dangerous for me, the Great Sui Dynasty."

Yang Guang's face was as heavy as water at this time. He stood in front of the desk, with his hands on his back, staring at Chen Kefu with his eyes, "What are the three strategies if you are Yang Ni? Tell me quickly!"

Chen Kefu bowed, "Your Majesty, if I am Yang Xuangan or Li Mi, then there must be three choices when facing the question of where to go. The best strategy is that the emperor will go to Goguryeo in person, far away in Liaodong City, even a thousand miles away from Beiping County. There is a sea in the south and a powerful Turk, Khitan, Xi and other Hu people in the north, with only one passage in the middle, and the situation is extremely difficult and dangerous. If we lead our troops to go out of our surprise, we will march straight into the county, seize the dangerous situation, and strangle our throats, then our way back will be cut off. The Goryeo people learned that they would have been tracked after them. Within a month, all the materials and supplies were exhausted. If Yang and Li contacted the Hu people again, and then they would be attacked from three sides, the army would definitely be defeated, and even we might be captured without a fight!"

Chen Kefu's first rebel might have made all the ministers a little scared. If it were as Chen Kefu said, he would be trapped in Liaodong by then, and there would be no food or supplies for a million troops, and he would be attacked from three sides without any attack or starving them to death. At that time, don't say that these ministers would be captured without fighting, even Emperor Yang Guang would probably not be able to escape.

Yuwen Shu shook his head and said, "This plan is indeed vicious, but even if Yang Ni really goes north to Beiping County as you said, I will lead 100,000 cavalry to Beiping. They are just recruited soldiers from the new rebels. How can there be so many horses? Before they arrive in Peiping to conquer Beiping County, we have arrived in Peiping. They came from afar, and weren't it just for me to wait for my leisure and wipe out all the way?"

Chen Kefu shook his head, "Sir, Yang Ni's rebellion was known by Dongdu, and then sent a fast horse to report. Dongdu is so far away. Even if the fastest horse is, it will take a lot of time to run here. What's more, how can we know how long the East knew after the rebels rebelled? If Dongdu knew the news, the rebels had already set out to Beiping County, and who would come first and who would come later, how can they guarantee it? The most important thing is that even if the rebels did not have enough horses, they just had to choose a cavalry to go north and take down Beiping County. Even if most of the rebels did not arrive, and with the city of Beiping County in hand, Lord Yuwen would have no choice but to do anything to them. What's more, don't forget that the Central Plains has a Grand Canal that directly leads to Zhuo County. It is much faster to transport troops by water than to walk."

Yang Yichen also had a dark face and said unhappily, "Chen Pojun, what you said is all in case, how can you know that we are not here first?"

"General, if the rebels can bet on this, we cannot bet on this. We not only have generals here, but also your Majesty. As ministers, how can we bet on your Majesty's safety?"

Chen Kefu's shameless expression of loyalty was blocked by his flattery words, but Yang Guang looked at Chen Kefu very happily. It seemed that he liked Chen Kefu's disgusting expression of loyalty very much.

Yang Guang pondered, "If Yang and Li Er Ni are really as Po Jun said, that would be a troublesome thing. However, Yang Xuangan, I saw that he was very ambitious and talented, cherished his life for people to do big things, and forgot his life when he saw small profits. Although this strategy has the opportunity to make me very dangerous. However, for Yang Ni, choosing this path is not extremely dangerous. One is not good. If we were to take over Beiping County first, or even if he arrived first but could not get Beiping County, then Beiping would be Yang Ni's burial place. Yang Ni is not the kind of person who dares to go out, and he will definitely not do such a thing that has no way out. Po Jun, let's talk about their other two choices."

Chen Kefu kept paying attention to Yang Guang's expression. Although Yang Guang said that Yang Xuangan would definitely not choose this strategy to rush to Beiping, Chen Kefu saw that Yang Guang's face was worse than he had just passed. He understood that Yang Guang was a little scared. Yes, even Yang Guang, who led troops many times, and even after ascending the throne, he did not dare to bet on his life at this time.

He is an emperor, and he is extremely precious, so how could he be willing to bet on his life with Yang Xuangan? In the past, he led troops to attack the weak with the masses and attack the weak with the strong. He has never encountered such a dangerous situation like now.

"Your Majesty, if Yang Xuangan dares not take the best strategy, then it will be good news for us. Although the other two strategies will cause some trouble to our Sui Dynasty, they are not a big deal. Now there are two roads in front of Yang Xuangan. There are dangerous passes on all sides of Guanzhong, which is the country of Tianfu. Although there are general Wei Wensheng guarding, the troops are not strong. If Yang Li's two rebellions do not choose the best strategy to attack Beiping, the army can advance westward, pass the city along the way, and do not attack it, and take Chang'an City directly. Then, collect local heroes and comfort the local people. By the time, even if Your Majesty leads the army back from Liaodong, it will be difficult to pacify them immediately. Then, they can follow Guanzhong and slowly plan it."

Yang Guang nodded, "Guanzhong has always been a place where military strategists must fight for. Now Guanzhong is also empty. If Yang Ni really attacks Chang'an, he would be able to succeed. If he was allowed to occupy Guanzhong, the chaos might be delayed. It would not be a matter of one day or one night to pacify it, but I am afraid that the inner sect will be deteriorated. This is really a concern. It is indeed a central strategy. Although it is not as good as the best strategy, there is no great danger. Most people may choose this one."
