Chapter 205 You are playing with fire

Li Jie was a senior general of the Inner Guard of the Sui Army, a son of a famous family, and has always been the third leader of the army. This time he formed the Marshal's Mansion. He originally thought that even if he had no real power, Chen Kefu would have to give him the position of marching Sima even for his face.

Unexpectedly, Chen Kefu was so amazing that in front of more than 300 generals in the army, he asked him to be the third leader of the 100,000 army. On the contrary, he, a senior general of the Sui army, could only serve as the position of chief of the marching commander without soldiers and power. This is really tolerable, and who is unbearable!

"Master, Your Majesty ordered you to be the marshal of the marshal of the Liaodong marshal's office, and you will be given the full authority to form the Liaodong marshal's office. All the generals are all assigned by you. This is your Majesty's great trust in you. Although I have reserved some opinions about what the marshal did in the past, I still admire the marshal very much in the general direction. But why do you have to do this today? Could it be that you have become arrogant and complacent as soon as you were appointed as the marshal?"

As soon as Li Jie attacked, the powerful generals in the first row on the left smiled slightly. It was no wonder that they had seen such a situation. The general had never stopped suppressing Li Jie, and every time Li Jie could not bear it, he would do this. But in their opinion, there was no suspense about this reaction. Just like the girls in brothels, he always refused to follow it at the beginning, but in the end he had to take off all his clothes and spread his legs at the mercy of others. The same is true for Li Jie. In the end, he would have to break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.

In the past, they were still a little hesitant about these struggles, but now, they have all firmly stood on the side of the commander Chen Kefu. Not only is Chen Kefu the head coach of the first army, but the key is that when Chen Kefu commanded the three armies, their temperament and charm have always been impressed by them. Moreover, with Chen Kefu, they have always been the biggest beneficiaries, and no one is willing to be in trouble with him.

Yu Qinming and other newly joined the generals of the Second Expedition of Liao were a little confused. They had just joined the Northeast Army. Although they had vaguely felt that Li Jie, the third leader in the army, seemed to be a little powerless, but they did not expect that they had reached this point.

At this time, the stupidest man also understood that Li Jie and Chen Kefu were wrong. However, none of these people showed any expression on their faces, and they all sat there like an old monk entering meditation. These people themselves were generals of the fifth rank or above, no more than the actual generals in the Northeast Army who had just risen recently. They were all old foxes in the Sui army, and they were no longer surprised by these upper-level fights. At this time, when the gods fought, the newly encamped soldiers all chose to remain silent.

"General Li, Your Majesty is not fully aware of this successive victory. In a few days, Lord Huang will return to the Central Plains. I don't think so, so General Li and Lord Huang will return to the Central Plains together to see Your Majesty. First, we will protect Lord Huang's safety on the way, and secondly, all the things that happened in Liaodong also require a person of weight to report to Your Majesty in detail." Chen Kefu raised his lips slightly and said to Li Jie with a smile. He seemed to have not heard of his accusations at all.

Li Jie opened his mouth, and he wanted to agree in one go. It was no longer meaningful to stay in Liaodong, and all he could do was just a logistics manager. But now he could not even do this logistics manager, so he could only wait to die.

But when he wanted to say that and agree to return to the Central Plains, he suddenly couldn't say anything when he was in Liaodong for so long, he suddenly realized that he was reluctant to leave here. Although he was a noble young man from a noble family, he was even more a general. He was a war horse, made achievements, and was named a marquis and generals. He also dreamed like all military generals. During his time in Liaodong, especially during his stay in Liaodong, he felt very passionate.

The battle against Liaodong City, ambush Gao Yuzhen, the Jinshan ambush, defeated the Khitan, and subdued the Martin. These experiences made him unforgettable, and when he thought about it, he would make his blood boil. Although he had been suppressed and suppressed by Chen Kefu, he could not command the army and could only do logistics, but he also made him unwilling to leave just like this.

His face was flushed and red. After a long time, Li Jie said, "I just remind you that you must not do too much, it is also for the good of the general. As for returning to the Central Plains to meet His Majesty, in my opinion, it is enough to send a captain. Goguryeo people may go north at any time. How can I leave as a marching Sima?"

The military conference hall suddenly became extremely quiet, and the needle was heard. When Li Jie said something, he was shocked to his chin. Although everyone knew that Li Jie would definitely lose in the confrontation between Li Jie and Chen Kefu, he never thought that Li Jie would admit defeat so quickly this time and even said such kind words.

Even Chen Kefu was shocked. He originally wanted to give Li Jie a chance to leave Liaodong by himself. After all, the Northeast Army made such a great contribution. If Li Jie returned to the Central Plains at this time, as the third in command of the army, he would naturally have to give up rewards after he returned. In any case, it would be better than continuing to stay in Liaodong as a short general with no real power. He never thought that it would be such a result.

Chen Kefu smiled. At this time, he had no intention of guessing the purpose of Li Jie staying. He reached out and patted his shoulder, "Thank you for your reminder, but what I did was for the Great Sui Dynasty, for Your Majesty, and for our Liaodong soldiers. Since Li Changshi was willing to stay and fight against Goguryeo together, then he was naturally very welcome!"

True or false, without nutrition, and after a few words of conversation with Li Jie, Chen Kefu said, "Now we have nearly 80,000 soldiers, including 10,000 soldiers in the military camp. When His Majesty withdrew his troops, he ordered me to increase the number of soldiers from ten palaces. Now His Majesty ordered us to recruit 100,000 soldiers on the spot, so we have a 122,000 troops. Now let's discuss how to organize these 122,000 people?"

Yang Guang's original intention was to allow Chen Kefu's Liaodong camp to have 100,000 troops, but what he said in his edict was not very clear. Chen Kefu, who was determined to rebel and recruit soldiers to expand his power, would not miss such an opportunity? He pretended not to understand Yang Guang's true meaning, but instead played a literal game, saying arrogantly that the emperor asked him to recruit another 100,000 troops. In this way, he would not be included in the previous 20,000 personnel organization.

All the generals present had heard the edict before, so they naturally understood very well that the emperor meant that the Liaodong camp would be in charge of 100,000 troops. But now his general said this, which was obviously a mistake. After the first reaction, several generals wanted to remind him.

However, as soon as a few people made some moves, they were immediately pulled off by the generals around them. After a few glances, everyone understood. It was not that the generals didn't understand, but they understood too much. They were playing with fire, and they actually started writing the emperor's edict. The purpose was naturally very obvious, in order to have 22,000 more soldiers.

When everyone pondered, they felt that there was nothing wrong with this. The Liaodong camp had more than 20,000 soldiers, so the generals could bring more than 20,000 soldiers, and they would be more sure when resisting Goguryeo in the future. Although they felt that there was nothing to say about the organization of many soldiers. After all, there was no soldiers, and there was still a strong people. In the past month, they had only 22,000 soldiers, but they still had a team of 80,000.

At this time, Li Benlei was the deputy commander of the Liaodong Camp and the second in command of the army, so he was naturally the first to speak.

"The commander, the 122,000 troops are more than the 80,000 people now, which means that nearly half of the troops will be added at once, which is not a small number. Now there are only about nine thousand veterans in the army, and nearly half of them are individually organized. The remaining 70,000 troops have less than five thousand veterans, and the proportion of new and veterans has exceeded 10 to 1, and even reached 14 to 1. Now that there are 40,000 new soldiers, it is equivalent to our twenty to 1. This is a very dangerous number, and the combat effectiveness of our soldiers will plummetly decline."

Li Benlei was talking about the truth. It is unrealistic to blindly expand the number of troops and horses. After all, these troops are not veterans, nor trained soldiers, but farmers. If there are too many new recruits, the combat effectiveness of the entire army will be severely reduced. If it reaches such a fear of twenty-to-one number, then there will undoubtedly be no such force to win or not lose, because once you lose, you will be trampled and you will never turn over again.

Although Mao Xi had just arrived in Liaodong, he had already made the situation of the entire Liaodong army through Chen Qing. As an old minister of the Chen Dynasty, with Chen Kefu and others, he naturally knew that Chen Kefu took the risk of playing a word game and wanted to increase the number of troops to 120,000.

Although Minzhuang can also take up weapons and train and fight, those people have too many changes, while the army is different. If there is an organization, there will be officials, soldiers, and there will be names. These are the capital for their Chen family to restore the country.

"The deputy commander's words are the truth, but our situation is not that bad now." Mao Xi stood up and said, "Now there are more than 9,000 veterans in our army, which is a little small. But don't forget that we just rescued 8,000 captured veterans in Liaodong. Although these 8,000 soldiers are not as good as the elite of the Pojun Camp, and they are even a little weak after being a prisoner for a year. But these are the most elite soldiers of the Great Sui Hundred Battles, especially these are veterans who have been tempered for the rest of their lives after the war."
