On the position of the broken barracks, Chen Kefu sat on his horse and looked at the Sui army retreating from the head of the city in Liaodong like a tide.

The sound of Mingjin's withdrawal of troops has been resounding on the battlefield for a long time, and Chen Kefu is still sitting on the green horse, looking at everything that happened in front of him in disbelief. Just now they were still doing warm-up exercises, thinking that the infantry brothers who had been fighting at the head of the city for half a day would soon be able to take the city gate, and it was time for them to go out. But now that the body is warm, the whole army has just been mobilized, and it is ready to rush up and tear it up and make a great contribution, but there is a sound of retreat.

The moon crept into the air, the earth illuminated by Yu Fa was bright, and under the starlight torches, the entire battlefield looked extremely solemn.

"My lord, the big camp Mingjin has withdrawn its troops, and we should also withdraw to the big camp." Li Jie watched Chen Kefu and the other generals sit motionless on their horses, like statues, and waited for a long time to see that the infantry on the battlefield had almost retreated, and hurriedly spoke.

Chen Kefu ignored Li Jie, just looked at the soldiers in front of him who retreated from the city one by one, these heroic infantry soldiers, braved the rain of arrows, stones, sasswood, hot oil, spears, and broadswords when they charged, and none of them flinched. They stepped on the corpses of their companions, one after the other.

But now that victory is on the verge of victory, suddenly the troops are about to be withdrawn. Looking at those infantrymen, at this time, one step at a time, they turned back one by one, their sharpness was no longer sharp, the battle flag was no longer held high, the spears were no longer like a forest, the pace was no longer brisk, and even the gaze in everyone's eyes was no longer enthusiastic.

In the past, when I read military books, it always said that one general was incompetent and tired to death of the three armies. No matter how elite the soldiers, if they encounter an incompetent general to lead them, it will only make the three armies useless. But at this time, he had a deeper understanding of this sentence. No matter how incompetent a general is, it is more terrible than the emperor standing behind the general.

He knew that during the second expedition to Liao, the emperor had done things that made people break his eyes several times in today's situation. Several times the city of Liaodong was about to be broken, as soon as the Liao people said that they would surrender, he ordered to stop the siege, but when the enemy rested and the city wall was repaired, the other party began to ignore the Sui people again.

What's going on today? Could it be that the Goguryeo people are doing their old tricks again, but if that's the case? From the emperor to the Manchu Dynasty, it is impossible not to understand the situation in front of him. Chen Kefu has been by Yang Guang's side for so long, he doesn't believe that this will be the reason.

Something very important must have happened, otherwise how could Yang Guang withdraw his troops at such a critical moment. As far as he knew, today was the time of the final battle, and as many as one million cloth bags filled with soil in the camp could be instantly paved under Liaodong City into a flat avenue like a carp backbone that could be eight people wide in parallel as long as the emperor gave an order.

Not only that, but the Sui army also has a secret weapon, and the many secret passages that have been dug are also an excellent opportunity. As long as the Sui army suddenly entered the city, he didn't believe that the Goguryeo people could still stop it.

Could it be that Yang Guanghe had a mind in the morning, and he didn't want to see the infantry fighting and dying with the Goguryeo people at the head of the city in vain? Could it be that Yang Guang planned to wait until the evening to make a move on Yuliang Avenue and Secret Dao in one fell swoop, take down the Goguryeo people in one fell swoop, and minimize the loss?

Although Chen Kefu didn't believe that Yang Guang would have such an idea, he very much hoped that Yang Guang would think like this at this time. As a soldier, he really didn't want to think about anything else.

"Click! ~~" A sound of horses' hooves came from not far away, a Son of Heaven guard rode to the front of the broken military camp, the knight turned over and fell off the horse, and said loudly to Chen Kefu and other generals, "Spread the Great Sui Emperor's hand, break the military camp from the officials above the third rank immediately to the emperor's imperial tent, if there is any violation, military law will be engaged!" ”

Chen Kefu looked back at the old man Li Benlei and the others beside him, and saw deep worry in their eyes, it seemed that something big must have happened. Otherwise, the emperor would not have been able to summon all the ministers from the third rank and above so urgently.

Could it be that Yang Guang suddenly had something wrong with his body? If Yang Guang really meant something, then it was reasonable to let people urgently withdraw troops before, and now he urgently summoned the minister, but he remembered that Yang Guang was obviously killed by Yu Wenhua many years later. I haven't heard that Yang Guang has any major problems with his body?

Chen Kefu took out a piece of jade pendant from his bosom and handed it to the guard, and asked softly, "Brother, do you know why Your Majesty summoned us so urgently?" I'll just ask, and I'll be ready for a while. Just in case, if His Majesty asks me anything, I can't answer. ”

The knight glanced at the jade pendant, and then saw that it was Chen Kefu, who was now hot in front of the emperor, and hurriedly put it away, and said softly, "It is a capital crime to leak the forbidden Chinese language, but I don't know why Your Majesty urgently summoned the minister." Just now, when His Majesty was drinking with the ministers in the palace building, he suddenly received an urgent report of 800 miles from Luoyang, the eastern capital. Then I urgently summoned the ministers, Lord Chen, hurry up, be careful that it is too late, Your Majesty will be angry. With that, the knight hurriedly turned on his horse and rode away.

Chen Kefu thought about it carefully, Dongdu, Luoyang, Urgent News, and Yang Guang were angry, all of which were connected, but Chen Kefu felt that he had caught something. But I couldn't remember for a while, what was the urgent news from the Eastern Capital, and what could it be that could make Yang Guang so angry at the banquet without regard for his image. Eastern Capital, Eastern Capital, by the way, Chen Kefu patted his head and finally remembered a big event.

When Yang Guang personally conquered Goguryeo for the second time in history, Yang Xuangan, the son of Yang Su, the Duke of Chu, rebelled. Yang Xuangan, as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites and the eldest son of Yang Su, the deceased Duke of Chu in the Sui Dynasty, does have some ability. Yang Guang was also good to him, not only let him attack Yang Su's position as the Duke of Chu, but also let him be the general logistics officer in charge of the collection of grain and grass in the Liyang area.

As soon as he rebelled, he immediately began to break the previous momentum of the Sui Dynasty's rebellion by peasants, and the aristocratic families of the world also began to rebel from that time. Judging from the current situation, there is no doubt that this Yang Xuangan must have rebelled. Otherwise, Yang Guang would not have been so angry.

After understanding the cause of this incident, Chen Kefu's brain couldn't help but move.

"Old man, you are now the founder of Zhengerpin, and this time Your Majesty summons you to go with me. General Lee, the broken barracks will be handed over to you to take back to the camp, so that everyone can be more vigilant, in case those Goguryeo people want to take the opportunity to get something out, we can also deal with it as soon as possible. ”

Li Jie said with a smile, "General Chen, please rest assured, even if the two generals go, I will take care of it here." ”

Chen Kefu nodded, and rushed to the imperial tent with the old man. Along the way, Chen Kefu kept thinking about this, since he was no longer willing to be an ordinary person, then now he has to think more about every step he takes.

Judging from the current situation, Yang Xuangan rebelled, and Yang Guang is likely to lead the army back to China. So what does he have to plan for himself this time? At this time, Goguryeo went through the Sui Dynasty's three eastward crusades, although it still refused the Sui army to be under the city of Liaodong, but in several major battles, the Goguryeo people also lost their troops and lost their national strength. Especially now that the new city of Goguryeo's military town has been lowered, even the nearby cities of Nansu, Cangyan, and Mudi have also fallen into the hands of the Sui army.

Even the Liaodong City in front of him is already going to be extinguished, and it basically doesn't take much to take Liaodong City. In this land of Liaodong, the Goguryeo people have now lost nearly 200,000 soldiers in a few years, and with a small country like Goguryeo, even if all the people are soldiers, they can't get any military strength that is too strong. In the future, the Goguryeo people will inevitably completely switch to strategic defense, and may even abandon some mountain cities in Liaodong and retreat to the second line of defense.

Now there are two choices in front of him Chen Kefu, one is to continue to be Yang Guang's Janissary Commander, follow Yang Guangxi back to China, and suppress Yang Xuangan's rebellion. But Chen Kefu was not very willing to make this choice, and he had been following Yang Guang's side, undoubtedly feeling a little insecure, and he could not develop his own strength. Everything around Yang Guang is under Yang Guang's control, he can let Chen Kefu lead the troops, and he can also make Chen Kefu unable to lead the soldiers.

Moreover, the rebellion in the Central Plains has become more and more powerful, and maybe Yang Guang will let him suppress the rebels at that time. He only has 10,000 people now, and for those outcasts and rebels who are fighting in the sea of people, although they can definitely win, they cannot be eradicated, and maybe the broken military camp in his hands will be consumed in the sea little by little.

And now he still has a way, which is to take advantage of this opportunity in front of him and stay. Staying in Liaodong, even if he relies on the 10,000 people in his hands at that time, he will be confident that it will be better than returning to the Central Plains. As long as he can take Liaodong City and use Liaodong City as a base, then in the first few years, he will accumulate strength when Yang Guang still holds the power in the world.

However, Liaodong is bitterly cold, and in such a place, it is undoubtedly necessary to face the entire Goguryeo, and it will not be easy at that time, and it is even better to return to the Central Plains and wait for the opportunity. In the end, how to choose, Chen Kefu couldn't make up his mind for a while. And he definitely can't discuss such a thing with others, even if he can tell Mao Yi, Lu Shishen and others who are at ease with him, but the two of them don't know much now, and asking them is tantamount to asking blindly.

And asked other people, such as the old man Li Benlei in front of him, but he didn't dare to ask. Now people in the world still only recognize the Sui Dynasty, and he is asking now, which undoubtedly shows his intention to rebel, which is very dangerous, and no one knows what the old man Li Benlei has in mind.
