Everyone felt that Song Jingang's sudden request for surrender was very suspicious. While the discussion was made, a general stepped forward and reported that a captive general under Liu Wuzhou's troops suddenly revealed an important news. The Turks who came to pick up Liu Wuzhou three days ago were led by a Han woman. According to the general, the woman was Dou Hongxian, the daughter of Dou Jiande, the rebel leader in Hebei who was captured and killed. It is said that Dou Hongxian is now Kedun, the Khan of Ye Hu, and Liu Wuzhou personally led a team of Turks across the Yellow River to pick him up.

Yuchi Jingde slapped his thighs after hearing this: "Damn it, I'm talking about the horse thief Song Jingang, why did he keep saying that China and the barbarians are defending China and the barbarians? It turned out that it was because of Dou Hong Line. Dou Hong Line and her father who refused to surrender first killed Wang Xuba, then killed Wei Daoer, and finally even attacked Song Jingang and Zhen Zhai'er. They escaped to Hedong before they escaped. Now Dou Hong Line has become Kedu, who commands Ye Hu, so Song Jingang naturally dares not surrender to the Turks again."

With this latest news, everyone began to become optimistic. Even Qin Qiong began to agree to accept the surrender of Song Jingang and others, and suggested that the court immediately send troops to Dingxiang and Mayi to reinforce the two. However, Chen Kefu did not say anything. He thought calmly for a long time and suddenly said: "Send a message to Song Jingang immediately and tell them that I will accept their request to surrender. And let them gather all the troops and horses within three days to retreat into Yanmen Pass."

Everyone was shocked, and Yuchi Jingbei said in surprise: "Your Majesty, why is this? Since Song Jingang is willing to surrender, it is the best time to recover Dingxiang and Mayi. Now, before the Turks go south, they can send troops north to reinforce, so that the Turks can be blocked outside the frontier. Wouldn't that be better?" Chen Kefu shook his head and said: "Although Song Jingang's surrender is eight-point credible, it has not been fully confirmed after all. Now is the time when the Turks are preparing to go south. We rashly believe in Song Jingang at this time. This is a very dangerous thing. Secondly, our troops have not yet gathered yet, and the enemy is large and we are few. At this time, we cannot divide our troops and give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of it. We must concentrate our troops and horses and defend the city. We use our defensive advantages to deal with the Turks' iron cavalry power and field advantage."

"What should Dingxiang and Mayi do? I'll give it to the Turks in vain? This is a great opportunity for the court to recover the entire Hedong in one fell swoop. Now that I missed this great opportunity, I may not have a chance in the future." Sun Wuji, the governor of Hedong Province, said a little unwillingly. He has been the governor of Hedong for two years, but even the whole province of Hedong has not been recovered. Seeing that his term of office is about to expire, he is unwilling to leave like this.

Chen Kefu said: "Tong Ye Husu has the ambition to all the seas. Our dynasty has just been in chaos and the world has not been unified yet. I have long expected that he will not be able to hold back in the face of this opportunity." Yuchi Jingde looked puzzled: "No. After all, Tong Ye Hu fought for so many years, he had just unified the grassland divisions, and he had to take a breath before he could use troops again. Besides, the Turkic people gathered troops in Yinshan, which was only possible to go south. It does not mean that they would go south. What's more, the Eastern Turkic grassland is now divided and occupied by Xi, the Mun tribe, Tiel Khanate and other countries. Tong Ye Hu

What is more urgent is to unify the entire Turkic tribe." Chen Kefu shook his head: "Can the grassland fill Tongye Hu's ambition? Think about it, Tongye Hu knew that Dou Hongxian was the rebellious rebellion that I wanted, but he set such a woman as Ke Dun. He knew that Liu Wuzhou was our enemy, but he also appointed Liu Wuzhou as Dingyang Khan, and sent troops across the Yellow River to rescue Liu Wuzhou. All this can only be explained. He wanted to express his meaning to me through this method, and his men and horses are probably going south now."

Chen Kefu decided to stay in Yanmen, but he did not use the banner for the time being. He sent an envoy to Mayi to send an imperial edict to Song Jingang, saying that the court accepted their request to surrender. The imperial court appointed Song Jingang as Duke of Song County and Zhen Zhaier as Duke of Yan County, and ordered the two to immediately lead their subordinates to withdraw to Yanmen Pass immediately. In order to deal with the Turks, the envoy brought the will of Jianbi Qingye, so that when they went south, they tried to take away all the people, and then burned all the cities, villages and towns along the way, filled the wells and poisoned them. Even the rivers in the two counties also put dead bodies to pollute the water source.

On the other hand, Chen Kefu asked Wang Rengong to put all the 100 cannons prepared by the court on the top of Yanmen Pass, and to put all the 100 cannons transported this time on the fortresses on various peaks such as Gouzhu Mountain on Yanmen Pass. In addition, Chen Kefu also issued an emergency mobilization order to gather all the prefectural soldiers in Hedong and began to recruit all the village soldiers from Hedong to prepare for war. At the same time, he also issued an order for Luoyang to lead his army north to Beijing to guard the foreign army of Beijing, and dispatched Marshal Yu Qinming to sit in Liaoyang, Tokyo, and dispatched Marshal Luo Zhong to guard Linyu Pass. At the same time, he also sent an order to the Khitan and Mohe Kingdoms outside the pass, asking them to draw troops and prepare for defense on the western front of the Khitan grassland.

While issuing these orders, Chen Kefu Feige urgently ordered the Marshal Li Jing, who was the best at fighting in Chen, to lead 100,000 elite troops from Luoyang to the north, and brought dozens of powerful generals including Cheng Yaojin from Beijing to the north.

As soon as the order was issued, Li Jing, who was in Taiyuan, rushed to Yanmen at night. As soon as he arrived at Yanmen, Li Jing asked to see Chen Kefu. In recent years, as the Minister of War, Li Jing has been paying attention to the Turks. He told Chen Kefu that with the current strength of the court, it is definitely not the time to fight the Turks. Faced with the provocation of the Turks, the court should tolerate it, because the main next goal of the court is to unify the Central Plains world. Only after unifying the world can the court be able to spare hands to deal with the Turks. Now if we fight with the Turks, then for millions of Turks, we will be able to

Even if the court wins, it will be a miserable victory. Because the Turks are soldiers from all over the country, the Turks who are nomadic Turks can fight, and everyone can control their strings. If Tongye Hu is determined to fight, the Turks can even arm the Iron Cavalry of 400,000 cavalry, which is even greater than the power of Bikhan at the time. At that time, Shibi Khan of the Eastern Turks, who only occupied the Eastern Turks east of Jinshan, already had 400,000 cavalry of string control. Now Tongye Hu has basically unified the two Turks in the east and west, and has restored the power of the Turkic Empire during the heyday of the Turkic Empire. Such Turks cannot be underestimated.

Chen Kefu asked Li Jing, if the Turks deliberately provoked the invasion, how could the court retreat besides responding to the battle? After hesitating for a long time, Li Jing proposed to temporarily endure it, give the Turks a marriage to the Turks, and raise the wealth of the treasury to retreat.

Chen Kefu was shocked when he heard this: "I didn't expect that Brother Yao would even say this."

Seeing that Chen Kefu looked bad, Li Jing said with a panic: "Everything I said is for the country."

After sighing, Chen Kefu said, "I have read history books. Although the Han Dynasty is strong, it is also surrounded by white horses and a shame to marry. After the Han Dynasty, the northern grassland tribes had many powerful people, including the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Rouran, Turks, and powerful grassland tribes. There have been nightmares for the people of the Central Plains. There were even the Five Barbarians who invaded China at the end of the Jin Dynasty, and the Han people were almost defeated by the destruction of the clan. The Jin, Wei, Northern Zhou, and Sui Dynasty had always been able to marry the northern tribes."

"But I, I don't want me, Da Chen, to do the same."

"If you don't marry, you won't pay any compensation, you won't cede land, you won't pay tribute, the emperor will guard the country's borders, and the king will die in the country. This is the precept I will leave to my descendants of Chen."

Li Jing looked at Chen Kefu in surprise, and couldn't help but be excited about the words in his eyes. As a marshal, he could hear the emperor's words so tough. But in a blink of an eye, he was worried about what was happening in front of him. He was worried that the emperor would be too arrogant. Yang Guang was invincible because of the east and west, and even the grassland tribe had to surrender to the iron hoof of the Sui Dynasty. In the end, Yang Guang was extremely confident. Finally, he first conquered Goguryeo four times, and finally prepared to conquer the Turks, but was surrounded by Shibi Khan Yanmen and died in Taiyuan City.

Chen Kefu felt his thoughts from Li Jing's eyes and patted Li Jing's shoulder with appreciation: "I am very pleased that Brother Yao can have this calmness. You are not fanatical because of my words. He is an excellent marshal and always maintains the calmness of the commander. This is a good thing. However, although you just said the truth, don't tell anyone this sentence from now on. Because you are my best marshal and a symbol of invincibility in my Dachen army. I must keep this flag for the soldiers, otherwise the morale of the army will be shaken."

These words made Li Jing feel a little moved. Chen Kefu told Li Jing that this time he was not ready to go to a full war with the Turks. However, in the face of the provocations of the Turks, he had to fight back, otherwise blindly giving in would make the Turks more aggressive. At that time, the court would be trapped in a dilemma between the Turks and other separatists and would not be able to advance or retreat.

Therefore, in order to avoid this possibility, the court needed this war to stop the war. The court first strengthened the walls and cleared the fields, took the initiative to give up Dingxiang and Mayi as a buffer, and then gathered troops to fight a defensive counterattack in Yanmen, attacking the Turks and letting them understand Da Chen's determination, so that they could force the Turks to retreat automatically.

In addition to this method, they had no other way to deal with it in the face of the ambitious ambition of Ye Hu. In order to win this battle, Chen Kefu told Li Jing that the battle of Yanmen will not only be the place of Yanmen, but will also include Yanmen to Beijing and then to the western Liaoning outside the pass, and the thousands of miles away from the border in the north of the desert. This time, the imperial court mobilized about 300,000 troops. Chen Kefu handed over the command of this entire battle situation to Li Jing. He will be allowed to command the battle uniformly.

Chen Kefu looked at Li Jing and said sincerely: "Senior Brother Yao, this battle is related to the life and death of our Great Chen Dynasty. If it is defeated, maybe I will end like Yang Guang, and my Great Chen may collapse like the Sui Dynasty. Therefore, this battle is only allowed to win, not lose. From now on, if you defeat the invading Turks one day earlier, our Great Chen Dynasty will be guaranteed one day earlier and safe one day earlier."

From Chen Kefu's expectant eyes, Li Jing saw the burden he shouldered.

Li Jing Xiao Ran said: "I swear to complete the task to the death and will definitely live up to Your Majesty's heavy trust!"
