To be fair, Li Xiuning left Chen Kefu with a very good feeling. Her image as a generous and virtuous lady once deeply touched Chen Kefu, making him think that although this is not the most romantic and beautiful beginning, it may bring a beautiful and happy future for the two of them. Even until Luoshui separated, Chen Kefu always thought so.
However, even now he still has a very good impression of Li Xiuning and is looking forward to reunion with her, but this still cannot reduce Chen Kefu's disgust towards Li Yuan, Li Shimin and his son.
Although speaking of this, the behavior of Li Yuan and his son is just a very common behavior in this family era. After all, compared to the happiness of their daughter, the interests of the family are the highest. However, such a thing really hits his head and almost dies. If it weren't for the rescue of Zhai Wushuang, I'd be afraid that he would have become a dead bone at the bottom of the Luoshui River.
Even though he has become a prince now, Chen Kefu still cannot forgive the father and son of the Li family. In his heart, he still retains the concept of an ordinary person. He has clear grudges and grudges, and he will be repaid if he has any grudges.
"Let me take a thousand men and go east along the Yellow River until Hedong, and touch the Zhongtiao Mountain to kill Li Yuan and his son." Lu Shishen and others were summoned to the mountain. After hearing the latest information about Li Yuan and his son, they immediately stood up and said loudly.
The general of the Navy Hailong Guard, Zhang Zhongjian, had just led half of the Navy's 50,000 troops to Jijun. He was also present in the Luoyang raid. Most of his dozens of brothers were killed or injured in that battle. He was also chased by the Luoshui River that day and fled. This matter has always been a great humiliation. Now that he heard that the Li family was at a loss and was forced to escape into Zhongtiao Mountain, he couldn't help but immediately support Lu Shishen's opinion.
"Your Highness, I can send a fleet to Hedong to disguise myself as a caravan, and draw more than a thousand elite players, bring more powerful bows and crossbows, and bring some bombs. We will guarantee that we will bring back the heads of Li Yuan and his son."
As the marshal of the Hebei counties this time, Li Jing had just arrived in Ji County to discuss some military affairs with Chen Kefu. At this time, he saw Chen Kefu's face being unstable and hesitant, and he was also helping to relieve it. "It's good to let General Lu go to Hedong. Li Yuan and his son are at a loss now, but we have to prevent them from seeking other forces when they have no way out. The defeat of the Li family is a foregone conclusion, but Li Yuan is not small. Whether it is his prestige in Hedong or his connections in Hedong for years, it is very important. And there is also a very important point. Li Yuan's civil servants and military generals have indeed recruited a lot of talents in recent years. If he surrendered to other forces, then those who had previously depended on the Li family will inevitably follow him to other forces, which is not a good thing."
"And the Li family and the Yuwen family in Guanzhong have now gradually become the two representatives of the Guanlong group. With the two family as the head, they have gradually divided the most powerful Guanlong group in the northwest. The Guanlong group is powerful, and our Hebei court should try to win over it as much as possible. We should not let them use it for other forces. If Li Yuan is killed, then the forces of the Li family will inevitably be dispersed. Even if someone joins other forces, there is no possibility of any force annexing the Li family's forces in one fell swoop. With the current situation of our court, killing Li Yuan and his son, the most likely rebellion is our Hebei. Therefore, I agree to send an elite soldier to remove Li Yuan and his son."
Since Chen Kefu knew that only a few thousand remaining soldiers of the Li family had retreated into Zhongtiao Mountain, he had been unable to calm down. He was thinking about their betrayal of him before. He was full of thoughts about taking the opportunity to eliminate the roots and putting in the wrong and other things. Therefore, he was eager to summon Li Jing, Zhang Zhongjian and others. Originally, his idea was to send an elite small army to kill directly to Zhongtiao Mountain, and give Li Yuan and his son a chance to take this opportunity, and never give them a slight chance to turn over.
However, during the period when he was sitting here waiting for Li Jing and the others to come, he finally calmed down a little excited.
As soon as Lu Shishen, Zhang Zhongjian and Li Jing came, they expressed their intention to remove Li Yuan and his son, which made Chen Kefu calm down. He carefully planned the whole thing, but found that Li Jing, whom he had always admired deeply, always had a unique vision when he planned the strategy and tactics. But when he really talked about things outside of these wars, he was a little too presumptuous.
Chen Kefu frowned and glanced at Guo Xiaoke who had not spoken since he came in, "Xiaoke, what do you think of this matter?"
Guo Xiaoke lowered his head and said nothing.
"If you have any ideas, just say them out and just talk about the matter."
Guo Xiaoke glanced at Li Jing and the other three. Their positions were higher than that of him. He was still a little worried when he said something against them.
"The view of the Mo General is contrary to the three adults. The Mo General thinks that the Li family is indeed at the end of their lives and is at the end of their journey. Although the Li family still has Taiyuan, Shangdang and other counties, Li Yuan and his son were surrounded by Zhongtiao Mountain and could not go back to Shangdang in Taiyuan. It won't take long to stop them from starving to death in the mountains, or they would have to surrender to Wang Shichong and other forces. However, the Mo General guessed that with Li Yuan's fox-like character, he would never wait to die until the last step, so they would have the greatest possibility of surrendering."
Lu Shishen looked at Guo Xiaoke in confusion, "In this way, don't we have to kill Li Yuan even more to prevent Li Yuan from joining other forces, and then let Hedong fall into his hands?"
Guo Xiaoke smiled, "What we estimated before was about the same, but the subordinates behind him had different opinions."
"Tell me your opinion carefully." Chen Kefu nodded and looked at Guo Xiaoke with interest. He thought about it just now, but he also felt that sending someone to kill Li Yuan was not very realistic.
With Chen Kefu's encouragement, Guo Xiaoke gradually let go. On such an occasion, if he could tell King Chen about his thoughts and get his praise, he would definitely be more reused in the future.
After organizing it in his mind, Guo Xiaoke's face became more and more confident, "I don't agree with sending troops to kill Li Yuan and his son. First of all, this is that it is too difficult to succeed in doing this. Although Li Yuan and his son are in Zhongtiao Mountain in Hedong County, although it seems not far from us, they are still separated by Li Mi and Wang Shichong along the way. With more people we sent, it is unlikely that they will pass through the territory controlled by Li Mi and Wang Shichong. If we send fewer people, how can we find Li Yuan and his son in the vast Zhongtiao Mountain? And although Li Yuan and his son are at a loss now, don't forget that Li Yuan and his son still have more than 3,000 people, and our information is not that the wife saved them?"
"There is another problem here, that is, the wife is now with Li Yuan and others, and she is still carrying a army of thousands of people. So Li Yuan has no less than five thousand people now. If we want to find and eliminate 5,000 people in the mountains and forests, how many people do we have to send? And what if we hurt our wife at that time?"
To find and eliminate at least 5,000 people in the vast Zhongtiao Mountains, you must not be less than this number. You can send 5,000 people and horses all the way through the territory of Li Mi and Wang Shichong to Hedong, which is impossible in any case.
Guo Xiaoke saw that everyone could not answer, and felt more confident in his heart, "Killing Li Yuan and his son seems feasible, but it cannot be actually operated, so this is the first reason I object. Of course, this is not the main reason, the main reason is whether it is necessary. In my opinion, killing Li Yuan at this time will do more harm than good."
"Why?" Chen Kefu looked at Guo Xiaoke with admiration. He had always regarded this Liaodong Army general who was born in his personal guard as a confidant general, but he did not notice that he still had such meticulous thinking.
"As Wei County Duke said, Li Mi has no way out now, and the biggest possibility is to surrender to other forces. In this way, the talents that the Li family has attracted over the years, the gathered forces, and the momentum in Hedong will inevitably be used by the force that accepts him. Such things are very unfavorable to us. Faced with this situation, I think it would be better to just kill Li Yuan and his son to prevent this from happening, but we would rather accept Li Yuan and his son, accept their forces in Hedong, and the talents they have gathered over the years."
Chen Kefu's eyes raised, "What do you mean is to let me persuade Li Yuan and his son to surrender?"
Lu Shishen also looked at Guo Xiaoke in surprise, "Old Guo, do you know what you are talking about? Li Yuan and his son betrayed Your Highness like that, and this matter must be punished. We have not killed them yet, but our highness is already kind. How could we persuade the surrender to accept this shameless father and son?"
Guo Xiaoke bowed and bowed, "Your Highness, my subordinates think that the best revenge for Li Yuan and his son is not to kill them, but to make them watch themselves slowly become nothing, and even have to live under the control of His Highness every day. The best punishment for them is to tremble their fears day by day."
"Hahaha!" Chen Kefu laughed a few times, stepped forward and patted Guo Xiaoke on the shoulder, "You said something. It is really too cheap to kill Li Yuan and his son like this. However, how can you be sure that Li Yuan and his son will surrender to me and let us get the forces and talents of the Li family? You must know that Li Yuan and his son are famous for being cunning and untrustworthy. Once they get rid of this level, they are afraid that they will immediately reveal their fangs and betray the Lord."
Guo Xiaoke smiled mysteriously, "Since my subordinates dare to say this, of course they have thought of these things long ago, and have already thought of countermeasures. Then, I will not be afraid that they will have unfaithful intentions, but that they will regret it."
