Chapter 631
Who will win?
People feel refreshed when they are happy, and the spring breeze is full of horse hooves.
Recently, a series of things have gone very smoothly. The Hebei court is stable and the family and the wife and concubines are harmonious. Moreover, since the aristocratic rebellion in Hebei and Shandong, the local government has gradually recovered the stability and order. Now it is March, and the reports submitted by officials from various counties and counties have also reported that the counties and counties are actively carrying out spring farming. Hebei and Shandong, which have been in chaos for several years, have finally settled down. As long as the autumn harvest is over, the court will no longer have to worry about food and grass.
Chen Len and Yang Shanhui of Jiangdu are worthy of being both powerful generals in the Great Agencies. They are connected with Qu Tu, Zhang Changjin, Song Laosheng and others guarding Jiangdu City, like an iron fortress, nailing to the north bank of the Yangtze River, blocking the progress of the northern part of Nanchen. They also gradually strengthened the control of the imperial court over Huaibei, and have formed a solid governance and defense to this day.
The departments recruited by the court have reached their designated positions one after another. It won't take long to go, the Yan Kingdom, which was born in the southwest gateway of Hebei like a cancer, will be completely wiped out and pacified. Even the Li family in Hedong seemed to have God's help, asking them to fight each other with Yang Ming when they headed south, and the entire army was defeated. Now, they have to come to Mengjin to join them.
The troops head south and look forward to the Central Plains. Even Wang Shichong has to bow to him now. He is in a distance and attacks near and far. As long as Wang Shichong suppresses Li Mi, who has risen recently, there will be no enemy from the court in Hedong and Henan. By then, half of the world will be in his hands. At that time, all the heroes in the world will have no enemy to fight with him.
In the first year of the Republic, Chen Pojun is now only twenty-eight years old, less than thirty years old. His years of battles made his figure more heroic and upright. His back was straight and his figure was tall. He had a broad forehead, deep eyes, straight nose, and firm mouth. From a soldier when he first came to a separatist who is now a corpse and blood, he broke through the forest of swords and guns. He held hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hand, and was known as the number one hero in the world. He was almost full of confidence.
Wang Shichong and Li Yuan have officially surrendered to the Hebei court and have already made a declaration to the world. Although Chen Pojun understood that such a surrender was not trustworthy, for him, the Hebei court and him, he needed such surrender at the moment. First, the name of the monarch and ministers of Wang Shichong and Li Yuan was established from then on. Second, it was the court's pace of occupying Hedong and Henan step by step. In the face of the absolute strength of the court, whether it was Wang Shichong's cunning or Li Yuan's scheming, they would just be blocking the chariot and overestimating their abilities. Anyone or force who attempted to stop would be completely crushed.
Chen Pojun likes military life, and likes the feeling of being so passionate about swords, guns, arrows, and blood boiling.
However, after he established his capital in Beijing, although he had not officially taken Yang Gao to replace him, in fact, his identity is now incomparable to the past. The Liaodong Army has millions of elite soldiers and thousands of generals. Although the world is not determined and the battles are repeated, there is no battlefield. He, the noble King Chen, needs to go to the battlefield and charge in person. The days like those in Liaodong are gone and never returned.
What he has to face now is mainly memorials and proposals from the ministers of the three provinces and six ministries of the court, as well as the battle reports of the generals of the Generals of the Generals on various battlefields, as well as the battlefield successors sent back by the generals on various battlefields. Although Chen Kefu was able to adapt to this change of identity, he still felt that he was not so happy from a commander who traveled thousands of miles a day, galloped with his spear and jumped on horseback to a central and strategic planner.
However, Chen Pojun was not a real person to live there. This time, he originally planned to lead his troops to attack Taiyuan, Hedong. In the end, due to the changes in the Li family in Hedong, he ran to Ji County in Hebei. Not long after he arrived in Ji County, Li Mi caught Wang Shichong off guard and seized two major granaries around Luoyang, he couldn't sit still and led the navy that had just assembled to Ji County to run to Mengjin.
However, the trip to Mengjin was obviously more smooth than Chen Pojun imagined. There was basically no accident. Li Yuan and Wang Shichong had already come to surrender, and everything had been negotiated. After the matter was negotiated, there was no need to stay in Mengjin again. According to the itinerary, in three days, he would take Li Yuan and his son, Li Tang's civil and military generals, and Wang Shichong, and several protons who were beside him, to return to Ji County, preparing to fight against Li Mi and suppress the Yan State.
Perhaps seeing the regret in Chen Kefu's heart, the navy commander who had just arrived, Zhang Zhongjian, Duke Xinguo, who was newly promoted to the fifth duke of the court, proposed to hold a spring hunt in Mengjin. First, it was also to review the combat effectiveness of the 50,000 naval army troops, and second, it was also to take this opportunity to show the great military power of the court in front of Li Yuan, Wang Shichong, Li Mi, Yang Hung and others across the river.
Chen Kefu just considered Zhang Zhongjian's proposal and nodded in agreement. Chen Kefu admired Zhang Zhongjian himself very much. Zhang Zhongjian was originally the prince of Liuqiu. After Liuqiu was defeated in the battle with the Sui Dynasty, his father and uncle were killed, and even he, the heir of the king, was captured and taken to the Central Plains. Later, he escaped by chance in the Central Plains, but he also witnessed the power and prosperity of the Central Plains from then on.
Although Chen Pojun never understood why Zhang Zhongjian, who escaped, refused to return to the ball to inherit the throne, after meeting him, he was able to resolutely surrender to himself and spare no effort to help him. Chen Pojun always remembered it in his heart. The court was able to form the Hailongwei Navy, and even today it has four fleets of Zhenhai, Nutao, Lingbo, and Anlan, and has 100,000 naval troops. Among them, Zhang Zhongjian made great contributions.
Even after the Liaodong Army established its capital in Beijing and established the dynasty, Zhang Zhongjian was able to give up his position as king who had been passed down from generation to generation, incorporate the Liuqiu Kingdom into the court, and become a state under the rule of the court. This kind of transformation of land and flow was also remembered by him. Although an island country on the sea that was not very civilized was nothing in the hearts of the Chinese civil and military ministers in the court, perhaps not as good as a county in the Central Plains to pay attention to them. But Chen Pojun was very happy that such a large Liuqiu Kingdom, as long as it was developed properly, would be a huge wealth for future generations.
Establishing and training naval troops, carrying out maritime trade, preparing food and grass for the court, and even the guards of Jiangdu and the quelling of rebellion in Shandong were inseparable from the strong support of the navy. Coupled with the support of the ball and the credit for capturing Danluo Island, Chen Kefu paid more attention to Zhang Zhongjian. If it were not for balancing his subordinates, his credit would be fully worthy of the title of King.
Therefore, Chen Kefu agreed without considering Zhang Zhongjian's proposal. First, this was a different appreciation for Zhang Zhongjian, and second, he had not been on the battlefield for a long time, and he felt a little moved by the feeling of galloping on the war horse.
Chen Kefu likes to fight, and now he can't go to the battlefield in person, so he likes hunting instead, which gives him a channel to relieve emotions, which makes him very confident. This confidence gives him a momentum of being powerful without anger. Riding on the horse, he is heroic and elegant, and even more eye-catching than the military generals around him. Chen Lei, Guo Xiaoke, Lu Shishen, Zhang Zhongjian, and Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong, and Luo Shixin who just arrived. They are all generals who have been fighting for the rest of their lives on the battlefield like him. However, although they have a kind of iron blood on their bodies, they do not have the "domineering" of his, nor the "bookish flavor" of his. There are not many people who can combine domineering and bookish flavor, but Chen Kefu seems to have this kind of characteristic naturally.
In the mountains north of Mengjin City, Chen Pojun was invited by Li Yuan and Wang Shichong to accompany him. Their two were accompanied by their personal subordinates, several generals under Chen Pojun's tent, and tens of thousands of Hebei Navy soldiers launched a spring hunt in the mountains.
On the sauteed purple dew, riding on the purple-colored dew, Chen Pojun took the lead and galloped forward. He looked at the people behind him and shouted heroically, "Show your skills to King Tang and King Zheng, so that the two princes can also see them. We, those who were born and died in the bitter and cold areas outside the Liaodong frontier, pacified Goguryeo and captured Liaodong. Let them see, although time flies, our archery and horse riding skills have not weakened at all. Each of you must show your skills. Today, the brothers with the best hunting results will be the king to select them to the Imperial Guard Camp."
Cheng Yaojin, Luo Shixin, and Qin Shubao, who were closely behind Chen Pojun, were younger than Chen Pojun, and the three of them joined the Liaodong Army later. In the court army, in terms of qualifications, they were not as good as Lu Shishen, Mao Yi, Zhang He and others. Even in terms of military achievements, they were not as good as Li Jing, Zhang Zhongjian, Wang Rengong and others who came later than them. However, these generals were better than young, and no matter whether they were taking the lead, they were all skillful.
He was also very popular with King Chen. He followed King Chen several times and went south to the eastern capital and north to the grassland desert. Now the territory of the court is getting bigger and bigger, and more soldiers are getting bigger and bigger. They have gradually changed from generals who charge to generals to commanding the army alone. This time, he received orders from the imperial court's Secretariat, General Staff Headquarters, Ministry of War and ministers of various guards, and hurried to Mengjin to protect King Chen, which shows their weight in the court and King Chen's hearts.
As soon as Chen Pojun finished speaking, Cheng Yaojin shouted, "Yes, King Chen, then I, Cheng, are you welcome."
"Who wants you to be polite? Look, there is a deer in front." Chen Pojun pointed to a deer in front that was driven out by the soldiers in the outer yard.
"This deer is mine." Cheng Yaojin rushed forward with a horse, "Shixin, Shubao, let's compare and see who shot this deer first."
"Old Cheng, you will definitely lose to me." The short and energetic Luo Shixin laughed loudly, rode his horse and whipped away.
"Let's see who is the winner today!" Qin Shubao, who has always been steady, was also unwilling to fall behind at this time, and spoke boldly and followed closely.
Three young generals headed straight for the deer. Chen Pojun was smiling from behind, and a cold sound suddenly sounded in his ears. He turned his head and looked at Li Yuan, who was a horse behind him. Li Shimin, with one arm, looked like an iceberg, held a horse in his hand, and stepped on his legs and stepped off the abdomen. He rode the horse in the direction where the deer disappeared, leaving a cold word before leaving.
"It is still unknown who will die!"
