I'll chase it

Mao Yi looked at the Liaodong city in the night and said in a low voice, "Young master, are you really going to use this as your foundation? This Liaodong is a bitter and cold place, and the people living in it are all the border tribes such as Goguryeo who are ruled by our Central Plains. Even if we really stand here, the people who have not surrendered will not be able to accomplish anything."

Chen Kefu turned around and looked at Mao Yi and smiled gently, "Everyone said Jiangnan is good. I think my ancestors of the Chen family are also the lords of the southeast. But do you think we still have the possibility of going to Jiangnan now? I think Yang Guang has been enfeoffed Yangzhou since the time of King Jin, and has been there for more than ten years. After becoming the emperor, he even opened the Grand Canal that went straight to Yangzhou, spending countless people's efforts and money. Now he has already made it his second nest. If we go to such a place, it is too difficult to make any waves."

"The Central Plains are everywhere, but where can we really have a foothold? Seeing the Sui Dynasty building collapse, how can we be buried? Now the Central Plains are full of war, and now even Yang Xuangan, the richest man in the Sui Dynasty, is rebelling. There is no peace in the world. How can a real man retreat in the face of this storm? I think I, Chen Ke, was originally a royal family in the Southern Chen period. When the Sui Dynasty seized my country, now the Sui Dynasty is indecisive and lost its deer, I should chase it."

On the high city tower, Chen Kefu clearly expressed his ambition to others for the first time. Although his voice was low, it was as heavy as a thousand pounds. Mao Yi suddenly knelt on the ground with one leg, "Young Master, I will follow you to the death and help the young master complete the cause of restoring the country."

Chen Kefu hurriedly bent down, held Mao Yi up with both hands, patted his shoulder, and said happily, "Okay, I miss your Mao family, and I have been my loyal minister of Chen for generations. Now, with this opportunity, you and my ministers, we should jointly overcome the glory of our ancestors."

"When today, although there is a great chaos, Yang Guang is still there. The great Sui Dynasty has not yet been exhausted. It is said that the citron that has made a breakthrough will rot first. Although the peasant uprising army caused chaos in the world, I think that few of these people can really accomplish things. They have already deviated from their original intention when they first started the army. Every peasant army is like this, just thinking about burning, killing and looting. Not only can the court not tolerate them, but even few people will truly follow them."

Mao Yi nodded, "Young Master, today they are still in the hands of those noble families. These peasants rebelled, but they did not have the righteousness and prestige. It is too difficult to accomplish things. However, the young master is different. You are originally a royal family in the Southern Chen family, and secondly, you have the elite soldiers. You also have the rare intelligence and martial arts of the young master. You have a broad mind, listen to no confusion, and follow good deeds, accept advice, accept talented people, be respectful and frugal, and be generous and love the people. You will definitely be able to pacify the world and restore my Chen family's great cause."

Chen Kefu smiled, "Mao Yi, where did you learn these flattery words? This world depends on the battle. I hope you can help me more in the future, instead of just thinking about flattering. I was taken care of by you since I was a child. In my opinion, you are my brother. I hope you can assist me wholeheartedly in the future, and I will definitely not lose money to you."

Mao Yi hurriedly smiled awkwardly, "Although what I said was a bit too gorgeous, these are indeed the young master's previous cleverness in dealing with people and things. As long as the young master can continue like this, the Chen family's country will be around the corner."

"Okay, I will remember what you said. For the current plan, we can only accumulate strength. I have been thinking about it for a long time, but I only feel that with our current situation, we can only expand by putting it in this bitter and cold place that no one in Liaodong is optimistic about. Just wait for the thunder in the world to be when our dragons have accumulated strong strength soar. As long as we occupy Liaodong, we can further plan the Sanhan Peninsula and find opportunities to join the north with the Hu tribes in the north. When our strength is great, we will become the king of the northeast, occupy the land of Liaodong and western Liaoning, and the thundering force will move south. At that time, as my Nanchen royal family, we will definitely be able to reach the southeast. At that time, based on half of the southeast and northeast, why worry about the rebirth of our homeland?"

Mao Yi nodded, "It turns out that the young master has a world in his heart, and this is a great good thing. But, young master, are you really sure to defend this place in Liaodong?"

Chen Kefu's face was full of determination, "It has never been easy to fight for the world, but it is indeed not easy for us to defend Liaodong now. But since we are fighting for the world, there will definitely be more difficult things to face in the future. If we are afraid of a small Liaodong city today, how can we fight for the world in the future? We must defend if we cannot defend, and we must defend even if we cannot. Liaodong is the key to our restoration of our country. If we have Liaodong, we will gain the world. If we lose Liaodong, how can we compete for the world?"

"What the young master said is, but, what should we do now?"

Chen Kefu gently patted the battlements and said softly, "After this battle, our army's virtual and solid Liao people must have known. It won't take long, the Liao people knew that we only had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and they would definitely pounce on it. Liaodong City is their lifeline, and they will never miss this opportunity. There are more than 200 mountain castles distributed in Liaodong. Although there are not many soldiers and horses in each city, after they have no worries, they will definitely gather all the troops to attack. According to my estimate, the Liao people will not take long, and at least 100,000 troops to attack."

"Young master, are there only 100,000 people? The walls of Liaodong City are strong. If it were only 100,000 people, there would be no need to worry. At that time, my Sui Dynasty had been besieged by a million troops for several months. If we hadn't used the tunnel this time, we would have been unable to attack for a while."

"The Goguryeo people have only about three million people. They have conquered Liao several times. Their army has been consumed by us by less than 300,000. How many troops do you think the Liao people can have? I overestimate the 100,000. According to my guess, the veterans who have been on the battlefield are now estimated to be about 70,000 to 80,000. Even if all the people are soldiers and urgently recruit 100,000 people, it is the limit to be able to go north with the defense of each city. They gather the soldiers from each city in Liaodong and recruit some more, and the number of people is only about 100,000. Especially, don't forget that there is also Baekje and Silla in the south of Goguryeo. However, their strength is lost, and we are the same. Now the city is not the Million-Million-Million-Million-Million-Million-Million-Million-Million-Million-Million-Million-Million-Million-Million-Million-Million-Million-Million-Million-Million-Million-Million-Million-Million-Million-Million-Million-Million-Million-Million-Million-Million-Million-Million-Million-Million-Million-Million-Million-Million-Million-Million-Million-Million-Million-Million-Million-Million-Million-Million-Million-Million-Million-Million-Million-Million-Million-Million-Million-Million-Million-Million-Million-Million-Million-Million-Million-Million-Million-Million-Million-

"Young master, why don't we retreat from the remaining four cities to Liaodong City. If we guard the four cities, we may be defeated one by one." Mao Yi said with some concern. Originally, there were only 10,000 elite soldiers, but now they are still guarding five places, and their strength will decline even more.

Chen Kefu looked at the dark night sky in the distance and smiled bitterly, "I don't know the weakness of division of troops. But if we retreat to Liaodong City, we will be surrounded by the Liao people. If we separate, our strength will decline, but there will be strong mountain cities to defend. If the Liao people want to attack the city, there will be no effect if there are fewer people and more people, then we will not be able to effectively siege the other cities. At that time, it will be our opportunity."

"Young master, it's not a good idea to defend the city passively. I think we might as well take the initiative. If we can ambush the Liao people from afar, we might be able to turn defeat into victory. As long as we defeat the Liao army heading north, it is believed that in a short time, they will definitely not be able to send troops north."

Chen Kefu was suddenly moved by his words. He was right. The best defense is offense. There will always be flaws in defense, but using attack instead of defense can sometimes achieve the goal in a short period of time and succeed in one battle. Just think about the troops he had in his hands, and then think about the newly trained Min Zhuang, Chen Kefu was a little hesitant. Give up their greatest advantage of the Liaodong city and take Min Zhuang out of the city to fight in the field with those Min Zhuang who have no war experience. This is undoubtedly a huge risk.

"Report to the General, General Luolin has sent someone." A guard came forward and shouted.

When Chen Kefu heard the sound, he looked up and a cavalry led by the guards and walked up to the city tower.

The man panted and could see that he was running all the way, his body covered with blood, and he didn't know whether it was the enemy or his own. The knight quickly came to Chen Kefu, knelt down on one knee and shouted, "Report to the general, I will come to report the military information by General Luolin. General Luolin was ordered by General Luolin to set up an ambush five miles southeast of Liaodong City, and fought fiercely with more than a thousand cavalry Goguryeo who escaped from the city half an hour ago. After Hu Hai and Shen Guang arrived, the Goguryeo people were defeated and fled in a hurry. Several generals led their troops to chase and kill them all the way to the edge of the Daliang water. Only dozens of cavalry Goguryeo people jumped into the river without knowing their life and death. Several generals were cleaning the battlefield and sent me to report first."

When Chen Kefu heard that all the Goguryeo people who had come out of the city were destroyed, he was in a good mood. "Good, you do a pretty job. Can that barbarian chief Gao Jianwu be awarded the title of the head?"

"Reply to the general's words, hundreds of cavalry guarded a golden armored Liao general in the fierce battle. The soldiers surrounded him and killed him. It is estimated that this person was Gao Jianwu. In a while, General Luo and the others will come back with his body."

Chen Kefu has always admired Gao Jianwu, the garrison in Liaodong City. He was able to lead 100,000 troops and horses to carry the Sui army to attack the city for more than a month. Moreover, when he broke into the city tonight, he could still lead more than a thousand people to break through, which really made him feel that this person was not simple. Especially when he broke through, his general Gao Ming and more than ten thousand people volunteered to cover the east city, instead of scattering, he could see his prestige in the Liao army.

For Chen Kefu, the Liao people are his main opponent now. If he can destroy an outstanding general, it will be one step closer to his great cause of restoring the country.
