Chapter 274
Evil is a courageous
In the study of the Marshal's Mansion in the inner city, there were several letters in front of Chen Kefu, all of which were sent back from the Central Plains by the Secret Service Department.
One of the letters was written by his father, Chen Shen, the prefect of Shihan. The formerly intelligent crown prince became the prefect of the border area of the Great Sui Dynasty. He deeply missed his son who had not been in contact with him for more than 20 years. In the letter, he had a little concern about Chen Kefu's failure to live in seclusion as an ordinary person in the end, but instead became a minister of the Great Sui Dynasty. Especially this son who had never met before, he suddenly became the marshal of the Great Sui Dynasty.
There was a vague suggestion in the letter, saying that he hoped he could have a safe life and not cause any more trouble. After reading this letter, Chen Kefu just smiled. Sometimes he was just a spark, igniting a large area with himself. Later, everything was no longer under his control.
The other two letters, one is the information about the Central Plains of the Special Service Department, which made the world even more turbulent, and the Li family suffered a disaster. Only his father-in-law Li Yuan successfully escaped the disaster. When all the Li Hun clans were killed and most of the other ministers in the capital were demoted, he not only did not have any trouble, but instead stayed from Honghua County and was promoted to Hedong Comfort Ambassador. In addition, the Special Service Department also wrote in the letter that the court seemed to be secretly discussing the matter of *** recently, and even sent Pei Shiju, the Huangmen Minister who was the most proficient in diplomacy, to the Turks.
After reading this letter, Chen Kefu couldn't help but smile. Yang Guang was really an ambitious king. Goguryeo had just calmed down, but he had already set his sights on the far-reaching ***. But I don't know why he couldn't look at the Central Plains land beside him? If Yang Guang could truly regain his martial arts and culture and rest, no matter how many bandits in the Central Plains were, they could calm them down. Unfortunately, this was a peerless emperor who could not even pull back the nine-headed dragon once he decided.
When he saw the third letter, Chen Kefu's smile froze. The letter was sent by Li Yuan, his father-in-law who had just been promoted to Hedong comfort and comfort ambassador. He began with a large congratulations congratulations to him for pacifying Liaodong and becoming the prime minister. He also allowed Chen Kefu to return to the Central Plains this year and marry Li Xiuning. Finally, he even made a request that made Chen Kefu hesitate. In the letter, Li Yuan said that he was promoted to Hedong comfort ambassador, but Hedong's bandits were also very powerful and he had no staff. He hoped that at this time, Chen Kefu would let his two sons who had been trained under him for a long time go back to Hedong to help him suppress the bandits.
Looking at this letter, Chen Kefu hesitated. Just like in history, Li Yuan gradually stepped onto the stage of the throne of the Sui Dynasty from the Duke of Tang, who had been mediocre for decades. In history, Li Yuan started to form his own power after becoming a minister of Hedong comforting and comforting the minister. Finally, he became a left-behind Taiyuan and formed a group of teams there. Finally, he saw that the situation in the world was clear, and Yang Guang could no longer turn the tide, so he immediately sent troops to rebel, and finally replaced Yang with Li and Sui in Tang.
At first, when they got involved with Li Yuan, or even got engaged with his daughter, it was a bit of a coincidence. Later, the two Li Shimin brothers entered the army, and they didn't think too much about it at that time. But now it's different. His goal is clear and he is aiming directly at the world. Li Yuan is also a potential opponent of him. He has no family affection before fighting for the world, let alone just a father-in-law.
The brothers Li Shimin and Li Xuanba have been in the Liaodong Army for so long, first with heavy cavalry and then with heavy infantry, which can be said to have all the essence of the most elite ace troops in the Liaodong Army. If they let the two brothers back to Li Yuan at this time, wouldn’t it make Li Yuan feel like a tiger? Whenever there is a chance, this kid will definitely be even more unhonest and will definitely rebel again.
Now the two brothers Li Shimin don’t know about this, but if a large group of people came from the Central Plains, Li Yuan would definitely bring them a letter. Chen Kefu liked the two brothers Li Shimin and Li Xuanba very much. Although Li Xuanba was not very smart, he was extremely brave. When fighting, he carried a large-sized sword in his hand and was covered with dust. His subordinates were basically the same as him. The most suitable general for such a general is to lead heavy infantry. In the middle of the Liaodong Army for half a year, Li Shimin had already lost the aristocratic aura on his body. Not only was he brave in fighting, but what was even more rare is that he had the potential to be a commander and could think more when leading troops.
These two are now the top generals under his command. To be honest, he really doesn't want to let them go. But now that Liaodong is pacified, he can't really hold on. Even though he knows that Li Yuan will rebel in the future, Li Yuan will still be his help rather than his enemy at this time.
If Li Shimin and his brothers were given the choice, he would not know how Li Xuanba chose him. But Li Shimin would definitely choose to return to the Central Plains, Chen Kefu was just his brother-in-law, but Li Yuan was his father. In the world, everyone would want to jump out and fight.
After sighing, Chen Kefu put Li Yuan's letter into the desk. Let's just hold it for the time being. He really didn't want them to leave. Leaving at this time not only cut off one's own arm, but also strengthened the strength of Li Yuan, the future opponent. However, in his heart, Chen Kefu also understood that there was basically no big doubt about the departure of the two brothers of the Li family. He stayed for a while, but he could not stay for a lifetime. Unless he found an opportunity to kill these two brothers, he could not do such a thing, but the harm was more beneficial. Even if Li Yuan rebelled, they were in the east and the other in the west. It can be said that there would not be too much conflict of interest at the beginning, but instead they could echo each other. When the situation was clear, he believed that he would definitely be the winner.
Nowadays, history has changed. He has territory, money, grain and elite army. Li Yuan has nothing. Chen Kefu smiled. Are he too worried about the world? Let's go. It's going to rain and his mother wants to get married. He can't stop some things. Although the two brothers of Li Shimin already know his intention to rebel, he is not afraid. If Li Shimin tells the news, it will not be good for him. At this time, the two brothers of the Li family can only be considered second-level generals in the army, and they are not considered real senior generals in the army. They only have a few thousand people under their command. If they leave, they will not have too much adverse impact on the Liaodong Army.
Although Liaodong City is extremely lively during the day, it is extremely quiet at night. Although the war has ended, it has only just been pacified. Therefore, Chen Kefu implemented a curfew throughout Liaodong, ringing the evening drum at 1/3/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2
The entire mountain city must be locked at night and the entrance and exit of the city gate is prohibited. The key to the city gate must also be handed over to the garrison troops. Even if the army in the city leaves the city, there must be a transfer order from the superior.
In the darkness, the streets were dark and silent, and only from time to time was a group of military police patrolling the city with torches. At this time, as long as they were found walking in the city, no matter who they were, as long as they did not have a warrant, they would be beaten and detained for one night.
At this time, there was no longer any noise during the day in Xishi City. All the shops were on the door panels, which were extremely quiet. In the night, a group of people were wearing black tight clothes and sneaked on the streets of Xishi City next to the wall.
"Sir, you said we are like this. Will Jamuan blame us if he knows?" One of the warriors showed a pair of hesitant eyes under the black cloth covering his face.
"Don't worry, as long as we take the knife back, the Young Master Jamukha will definitely not blame us. Humph, these unceremonious people in the Central Plains, we exchanged so much gold for his sword, but he refused to exchange it. It was just a broken knife. You must know that so much gold can be exchanged for a thousand cows. What's even more hateful is that they almost cut off my hand and wanted it to look good in a while." The other leader said hatefully.
This group of people is Shiwei, who cannot buy a knife during the day. After returning to the inn today, the group became more and more angry. Especially under the instigation of the warrior who was almost cut off by Yuchi Ren during the day, more than a dozen warriors took advantage of the night to sneak to the west market, intending to force the purchase and fail to make a secret stolen.
In the darkness, he avoided several military patrols and successfully arrived at the knife shop in Xicheng City. After a few efforts, the group of warriors successfully entered the knife shop. In the darkness, several people lit a fire note, and in the dark firelight, they found the dark and faint sword at a glance.
Seeing that the knife had been successfully stole, a silence warrior said in a low voice, "I got the knife, let's go quickly."
Everyone retreated outside the store. The leader of the warrior walked to the door of the store and was about to blow out the fire note in his hand. Suddenly, he became brave and smiled a few times. The fire note in his hand drew an arc and threw it into a curtain in the store. The curtain was lit soon and the flames ignited.
When the other samurai warriors were stunned for a moment when they saw it, they exclaimed to the leader of the warrior, "You don't want to die anymore. Didn't you agree that you just came to get a knife?"
"The shop owner humiliated me in public today and almost cut off my hand. The men on the grassland will take revenge. And if we only take the knife, we will definitely make the shop discover tomorrow. Why not set a fire now? Then you will only think it was a fire, and no one will know that we have taken the knife. Let's go quickly, the fire will be together, and someone will come later."
The curtain was burning all over, and a large amount of smoke scattered in the store in the raging fire. As soon as the people walked out of the store, they heard a shout behind them, "Thief who set fire, don't leave!"
