Chapter 155
: Holding troops and respecting oneself
On the battlefield, using the enemy to take turns to train troops in actual combat, probably Chen Kefu could think of this, something like this happened.
For Chen Kefu, elite soldiers are what he wants, and the number is what he wants. With elite soldiers but too few, it is impossible to compete for the world. But if there are only a number, even if there are more than ten or two hundred or twenty million soldiers, it will be difficult to compete for the world with those heroes.
The troops and horses of Fuyu and other cities in the northeast were swept away by him after this battle. Although the Liao people came unexpectedly this time, after the war, they suddenly gained an unexpected gain, that is, in Liaodong, Goguryeo, all the defensive forces were gone at once.
Yuan Taizuo sent troops to nearly forty small cities of all sizes, leaving only less than 10,000 infantry defense. All the remaining troops were taken away by him, and even the 10,000 elite private soldiers of the Yuan clan were also brought to the Jinshan Canyon, and other races were not much better. Not only did all the private soldiers of each clan, but even the young and strong slaves of each clan were dragged to the Jinshan Canyon and were beaten by Chen Kefu.
The entire upper reaches of the Liao River are now empty, basically like a woman who took off her clothes and lying on the bed, waiting for the Sui army to take over her.
A few days ago, the soldiers were too tired after the battle, and the soldiers were also too rainy, and Chen Kefu dragged the remaining troops who did not finally attack Yuan Taizuo. But now, the weather has improved and the ground is no longer muddy. After a few days of rest, the Sui soldiers have become full again.
For Chen Kefu, it was time to finish the finals. As long as Yuan Taizuo was settled, he could take the opportunity to send troops to the northeast, sweep away all the cities such as Fuyu, Gaimu, Jinshan, etc., confiscate all the reserved grain and grass equipment in each city, and capture all the young and strong people in each city. At that time, after sweeping the cities, he would take his troops to Liaodong City and speed up the time to train soldiers. He was confident that he could completely block the Liao people's north attack.
Just like what Li Jie once guessed, the Liao people were playing the role of the Sui army in a strong wall and clearing the wilderness, and he could play and sweep the mountain city on the front line of the Liaohe River. At that time, no matter whether it was Yizhi Wende or Gao Jianwu, they would not be able to get food supplements. At that time, they would even want to attract a strong man and would not have another chance.
Learn from the barbarians’ skills to control the barbarians, and use their own ways to return to the other person. Chen Kefu is called learning and selling now.
He was not worried about Yuan Taizuo. Now he refused to surrender, but as long as the entire army was allowed to take him a lap, he might not be able to hold on. At that time, Chen Kefu told him to exchange prisoners of war, and he might be willing to surrender. After all, no one is willing to die, and even ants live, let alone Yuan Taizuo, who is in Goguryeo. He was unwilling to surrender because he was worried that the ending would be terrible after surrender. However, if Chen Kefu promised to exchange them for prisoners of war in the Sui army, he probably wouldn't be able to hold on anymore.
Chen Kefu had no interest in seeing the Sui army's round battle with Yuan Taizuo, and brought his own guard back to the tent.
After dealing with Yuan Taizuo, he also said that Chen Kefu finally didn't have to sleep all night and had no troops from Liaodong. If Goguryeo wants to counterattack Liaodong City, it is unlikely that it will take a short time to attack Liaodong City. If he wants to attack Liaodong City, it will not work without a troops of about 100,000.
Liaodong City has a strong wall and sufficient materials, so it is not worried about besieging the city. Only by breaking the city can one conquer the city. If you want to break the city, it is basically impossible to break the city according to the conventional offensive and defensive practices of seven or one.
When Yang Fang attacked the Liaodong City, which Gao Jianwu defended 100,000 people, but dispatched 400,000 to 500,000 troops, not including more than 200,000 auxiliary soldiers and 300,000 to 400,000 civilians. That's it, Yang Guang spent more than a month to force all the defenders of Liaodong City.
Now for Chen Kefu, he has already stood firm in Liaodong, and the next thing he wants is to think about how to take root. Just taking down Liaodong City and sitting in the city waiting for Yang Guang to lead troops to conquer Liao next year, Chen Kefu is not willing.
He was looking at Shu with Long, and now Chen Kefu has stood his feet, so he naturally thought more. Of course, he could form a balance of power with the Liao people, and everyone could rule it out. When he just stayed, there was too much pressure and ideals on his shoulders. Since Yang Guang withdrew from the army, Chen Kefu has really not had a safe sleep.
Every day I dreamed about how to conquer Liaodong City, how to survive under the siege of Goguryeo, and even thought about how to hold on to the hearts of the soldiers. How to be wary of people like Li Jie, every moment, their hearts are full of calculus, and they are so tired.
Now, suddenly, I suddenly felt that the pressure on my body was gone, and I no longer worried that the Liao people would rush into the city when I slept until midnight. From now on, it would be difficult for the Goguryeo people to gather their troops and go north again without two or three months, especially when the power in the northwest of Goguryeo was completely wiped out.
"Prepare the stationery for me, I want to report the victory to Your Majesty!" Chen Kefu sat in the account and turned to the account and said that Chen Kefu planned to report the victory to Yang Guang himself, of course, it was not the result of the battle in Jinshan Canyon this time.
The stamp he wanted to write was the memorial for conquering Liaodong City. When he captured Liaodong City that day, he did not report to Yang Guang.
It wasn't him that he had forgotten, how could he forget such an important thing? It was entirely because he hadn't written it. When he captured Liaodong City that day, it was not a few days before Yang Guang's army withdrew. Maybe the army had not yet arrived at Huaihua Town west of the Liaohe River.
He was worried that if Yang Guang heard that he had captured Liaodong City, he was excited and transferred another team to revolve to defend Liaodong City with him, it would be troublesome. No matter who he transferred, the people sent by Yang Guang must be of high level. He was a general who had been continuously promoted from the front line, but he could not compare with those senior generals with deep roots in the court.
It was fine when he was with Yang Guang. After all, he was the general that Yang Guang liked more and was favored by the emperor. Others were unhappy about him, so they just secretly put on eye drops or something. It was impossible to do it too obvious. After all, it was a hot topic. When Chen Kefu arrived, he went directly to Yang Guang to file a lawsuit.
But if a great general was sent to stay with him, then he had the final say, and that person had the final say? At that time, he had only 10,000 people in the military camp. If Yang Guang knew that he had captured Liaodong City and really sent troops to stay with him, the number of people would definitely not be small, and 30,000 to 50,000 would not be small. At that time, whoever has the biggest fist would speak, he would definitely not be able to defeat an old general, as a new general.
Even if he has good means and does not lose the upper hand, his idea of using Liaodong City as the foundation and taking advantage of the momentum to develop his own strength will probably be still infertile. After all, there is such a great general who will be subject to restraint in everything. For example, the expansion of troops, the change of military system and the establishment of military ranks. If there is a powerful general in Liaodong who holds military power, how can he do this?
If he didn't do it well, he was slapped like Li Jie. After all, Li Jie is a good example. He was able to slapped Li Jie because he had soldiers, and Li Jie only brought a few generals. If a general with tens of thousands of soldiers came, Chen Kefu, who had only 10,000 soldiers, would probably have to go and make a fuss.
Of course he didn't want such a thing to happen, so after conquering Liaodong City, he kept suppressing and not reporting it to Yang Guang. Anyway, this matter would be easy to shirk, just say that the current situation in Liaodong is unstable, and it is also a thing of the past.
By now, almost half a month has passed in a blink of an eye, and this matter cannot be delayed, and there is no need to delay it anymore.
According to his calculations, Yang Guang has probably passed Beiping County and arrived in Zhuo County.
He now began to write a memorial to Yang Guang, and with the time along the way, it would probably take half a month to see Yang Guang. It is estimated that Yang Guang would have returned to Luoyang, the eastern capital. By then, things would definitely be different from before.
When Yang Guang was still in western Liaoning, he could send a group of troops back at any time. After all, a large army gathered around him. When he arrived at the eastern capital Luoyang, all troops would definitely be sent to quell the rebellion. The troops were easy to disperse but not easy to form. Once they disperse, it would not be so easy to transfer another troops to Liaodong. As soon as Yang Guang wanted to transfer troops, it would be September. By the time he was in the rainy season in the entire Liaodong, even the Liaohe River would have a huge increase in water, and it would not be suitable for military marching at all.
Even if Yang Guang planned to send a soldier from Hebei or western Liaoning to Liaodong, he would probably have to go to September when his orders were passed. When he really arrived in Liaodong, it would have been Ganyue. By then, Chen Kefu held 80,000 soldiers and horses. Although he could not be considered a strong soldier, he could at least be considered a large army that could fight.
He had 80,000 soldiers in his hand, and was in Liaodong, where the emperor was far away. That was not what Chen Kefu said. No matter who came, he would be the dragon, he would have to keep it on his side, and he would have to be lying on his side.
A saying that Chen Kefu has always believed in is that in the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and strategies are pale.
The world is in chaos now, and Yang Guang is almost unable to handle the matter in front of his house, let alone worry about him. As long as he continues to obey Yang Guang's orders and expand his territory for Yang Guang's great cause, Yang Guang probably won't care too much about some minor issues.
In troubled times, the grass head is the king, and the martial arts husband is the country. Since Chen Kefu traveled through time, he came to the Great Sui Dynasty, came to this chaotic times, and possessed a soldier, he was destined to become a martial arts husband.
