The snowfall for several consecutive days made the entire north suddenly enter a cold winter.

The land of Hebei was covered with ice and snow, leaving only snowflakes flying all over the sky, and there was only a white piece of land left between the sky and the earth; even the flowing water of the canal suddenly lost its rolling momentum. The continuous mountains winded like silver snakes, while the Taihang Mountains were like a group of white elephants running constantly, as if they wanted to compete with the sky.

The first clear after the snow is sunny, and the white snow under the red sun is particularly beautiful and charming.

The good news from Hedong had been passed back to Hebei, and the court was immediately surprised. At that time, Chen Kefu insisted on transferring 5,000 troops into Hedong, but no one thought that it would do anything. Even Fang Xuanling and others thought that such a small number of people could enter Hedong at most, at most, guerrillas around Hedong and harass Li Yuan.

But I never thought that in just a short time, I had already taken over the two counties of Mayi and Yanmen. Not only did I get the two counties, but I also got the surrender of Sui officials like Yao Junsu and Chen Xiaoyi, and the surrender of local tyrants like Liu Wuzhou and Wang Xingben.

Although the court can only have nominal rule for these two counties, it still strengthens the court's momentum.

On the tower of the north gate of the military capital in the north of Beijing, the two guards of the Yulin and Jinwu were everywhere. When they approached the city tower, they were guarded by the Imperial Armored Imperial Armored Guards, the Imperial Armored Imperial Armored Muscles, and the Imperial Armored Guards, and the Imperial Armored Guards, the Imperial Armored Guards, and the Imperial Armored Guards, the Imperial Armored Guards, the Imperial Armored Guards, and the Imperial Armored Guards, the Imperial Armored Guards, the Imperial Armored Guards, the Imperial Armored Guards, and the Imperial Armored Guards, the Imperial Armored Guards, the Imperial Armored Guards, and the Imperial Armored Guard

When we arrived at the innermost, we were guarded by the Royal Bride Golden Armored Sword Guards.

At this time, on the city tower, the red mud stove was warming pots of hot wine, and there were several big red braziers around it.

During heavy snow, I climbed the dangerous gate and stayed high to enjoy the snow and drank. The snowflakes were flying and covered in silver, but the weather was cold and could not stop my appreciation of this beautiful scenery.

The city tower was now like a restaurant, with a simple arrangement, but it also made the tower warm as spring.

Chen Kefu and Princess Chen Changsun Wugui sat north, and Princess Chen poured wine himself.

"Ah, good wine. Good times, and even better mood!" Chen Kefu drank the hot hot wine and couldn't help but feel more happy.

Among the city towers, all the close ministers in the court were close ministers.

There were Mao Xi, Gao Shilian, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng, Wu, Li Benlei, Mao Yi, Hu Hai, Shen Guang and other ministers. No one was as restrained as in the court. They were all plain clothes and light furs, chatting and laughing.

"Congratulations to Your Highness for obtaining the two Hedong counties. With these two counties as bases, I am afraid that most of the Hedong area will be returned to our court. It is really a joyful congratulation." Mao Yi raised his glass to congratulate Chen Kefu.

The outside is covered with silver and the ice is raining, but the building is filled with hot wine, warm as spring.

Everyone is drunk without drinking. Chen Kefu never felt the pleasure of today. He left all his political affairs and military affairs in Beijing, and climbed up the dangerous pass with his confidant ministers. It was so relaxing and comfortable to watch the snow and drink.

If he hadn't been a little concerned about his identity, he would have really wanted to be drunk and sing as a song and dance a sword in the snow.

"Hahaha" Chen Kefu laughed a few times.

"I am really surprised by the fact that the Hedong incident was so smooth. I was not sure about Yao Junsu and Chen Xiaoyi, but I was just asking Qu Tutong to write a letter, but I never thought that I could actually pull these two people into the court like this, which was really a surprise."

Li Benlei said: "Your Highness, Hedong is so good now. Should we send some more troops to Hedong to stabilize this good situation? After all, although we have two counties, the imperial court has too few troops in Hedong. Not only will it be difficult to deal with Li Yuan's troops in Taiyuan next time, but even if Li Yuan is blocked, it will be easy for local tyrants like Liu Wuzhou to take the opportunity to grow up. Be careful of our fight with Li Yuan and the other tigers, so that Liu Wuzhou and others can get a bargain."

Chen Kefu shook his head, "It is not easy to send troops in the cold winter. Moreover, the court does not have many troops to adjust. Jiangdu and Shandong have already fought on two fronts, and the court is constantly dispatching troops to southern Hebei. The court is now fighting on all sides, and the front line is too long. Although the situation in Hebei is favorable now, we cannot put all the troops into the battlefield at once. We must have the main and secondary severity, use troops in sequence, maintain sufficient preparations for troops, and resolve various wars from north to north, from east to west in sequence. Otherwise, we will be the one that really drags on the most," he said.

Although the Liaodong Army has many troops, Chen Kefu has to carefully calculate the troops in his hands now fighting from all sides. In order to gain enough strategic advantages, he must maintain a sufficient number of troops at any time to mobilize. Military affairs are like chess. If all his troops and horses are transferred to the battlefield, then all his chess pieces will be placed in front of the opponent and no further moves are available. This situation is very unfavorable.

For his plan, pacifying Hebei and seizing Shandong was the top priority of the current imperial court. As for rescuing Jiangdu, it was just a strategic need, and the troops in Jiangnan could not go north. The same is true for sending troops to Hedong. The biggest goal was to consolidate the border and gain more time for pacifying Hebei and Shandong.

Hu Hai said with some concern, "I'm afraid General Wang has too few soldiers and horses, and he will not be able to suppress Liu Wuzhou and other local forces in Hedong by then."

"It might be better, the main purpose of our troops to Hedong is to expose Li Yuan. At least the local tyrants take the opportunity to become big, but it is not a big deal. As long as we solve Hebei, we can immediately free up our troops to enter Hedong. If Liu Wuzhou and others dare to have a double intention, they will just be blocking the chariot with their arms."

"Report to Your Highness, the Hedong Army urgently reported!" An imperial guard with a sword reported loudly.

"pass!"

All the ministers were a little worried, could something happen in Hedong so soon?

A moment later, a special service officer was taken into the city tower by the guards. When everyone saw that it was Tang Jinyun, the director of the special service department. Fang Xuanling and others had already frowned secretly. It was probably a big deal that the military information that the director of the special service department had come to report in person was probably a big deal.

Chen Kefu still smiled, without any abnormality, "What urgent reports are there in Hedong?"

"Your Highness, Hedong will send another good news. I will come and report the good news!" Tang Jinyun couldn't hide his excitement and said loudly.

"But that matter has a result?" Chen Kefu also smiled.

"That's true." Tang Jinyun still couldn't control his excitement.

The conversation between Chen Kefu and Tang Jinyun made everyone confused, and they didn't know what the mystery they were fighting.

Hu Hai asked in confusion: "Master Tang, I wonder what good news is?"

Tang Jinyun smiled and said, "A few days ago, the Duote Service, in accordance with His Highness's instructions, rebelled against Liu Wuzhou, Liu Wuzhou, Liu Zihe, former imperial guards of Yulin, Longxi, Zhang Changxun, General Liang Shidu, Yingyangfu, Yingyanglang, Shuofang County, Longzhong, Shuofang County."

This was the first time Fang Xuanling and others heard about this. Even Li Benlei, the chief of the General Staff of the Nominal Supervisor of the Special Service Department, heard about this plan for the first time. However, he also understood that the Special Service Department was too high and the General Staff was only a nominal direct management. In fact, everything was directly responsible to King Chen.

When he thought of Liu Wuzhou, who was in front of him, who opposed Tang and surrendered to the court and captured Mayi in one fell swoop. Even an old man like Li Benlei couldn't help but be excited, and his voice trembled, "Can Guo Zihe, Zhang Changxun, and Liang Shi also raised an army to surrender to the court?"

Tang Jinyun was also somewhat uncontrollable and said excitedly: "That's true. Since Liu Wuzhou surrendered to the court, Guo Zihe, Zhang Changxun, and Liang Shi have raised troops one after another to inform He Fang to surrender to our Beijing court." When he thought of such a big thing, his contributions were made by their Special Service Department, he could not control the excitement in his heart.

Now even Fang Xuanling and other civil officials were moved. Yulin, Wuyuan, and Shuofang belonged to the northern county of Guanlong, close to the Eastern Turks in the north, and there was a continuous desert on the border. The three counties were wide, but the land was barren and sparsely populated. But even so, the support of these three counties still made everyone excited. The support of Guanlong counties not only meant the expansion of their territory, but also declared the expectations of the court and the support of the former local bureaucrats and powerful people in the Sui Dynasty.

"Not only that!" Tang Jinyun said calmly, "Just the day before yesterday, he accepted the reward from the court and led his troops to capture Guo Zi and the three counties who joined our court. He made great contributions."

"Get great achievements again?" Mao Yi couldn't help but exclaim. They were already very happy to be able to present the three counties to the court. What is the purpose of making new achievements again?

"After Guo Zihe, who was appointed as the prefect of Yulin by the imperial court, seized Yulin, he immediately advanced east along the Yellow River and had already broken the empty Dingxiang County of Hedong within just two days!"

"After Zhang Changxun, who was appointed as the prefect of Wuyuan County by the imperial court, occupied Wuyuan, he advanced west along the Yellow River to the foot of Helan Mountain, and captured Guanlong Lingwu County in one fell swoop!"

"After the Liang army of General Hu Ben occupied Shuofang, he quickly captured Yanchuan County to the west, and then attacked the Diaoyin County in Longzhong with thunder. Before the news came, he had crossed the Yellow River to attack Hedong, captured Lishi County in the west of Luliang Mountain, and marched to the west of Taiyuan!"

The good news in front was a surprise, but the one behind had already left everyone silent.

"Get the map!" Chen Kefu said loudly.

The guard presented the map, Chen Kefu spread out the map, and everyone's eyes gathered on the map. Chen Kefu took the cinnabar pen in his hand and began to draw on the counties he had just reported.

Yulin, Diaoyin, Shuofang, Wuyuan, Yanchuan, Lingwu, and the six counties along the Yellow River in Longyou were all in Hebei. In addition, the troops of Longyou had just attacked Dingxiang and Lishi counties, and in a blink of an eye, Hebei had ten counties.

In addition to the previous Yanmen, Mayi and the two counties, almost doubled the territory of Hebei. From Liaodong to Hebei, then Taihang Mountain to Hedong, then Luliang Mountain to cross the Yellow River to Longyou, the sphere of influence of the Liaodong Army suddenly captured the entire northernmost border between the Great Sui Dynasty and the Turks.
