"Lord Eldest Sun, tell you about the matter!"

Standing beside Chen Kefu, the eldest grandson Shunde, who had not spoken all the time, responded: "Yes!" He turned to everyone: "Just three days ago, the soldiers and horses of the Hedong troops were originally assembled in the Shangdang area according to the order of His Royal Highness King Chen, so as to make a gesture of crossing the Taihang Mountain through the axe mouth at any time to attack the territory of Wei Dao'er in the southwest of Hebei. But when Marshal Wang arrived at the assembly place and set up camp, he did not see Liu Wuzhou and other troops for a long time. On the night of the day when Marshal Wang sent people to urge, the various departments suddenly appeared and raided Marshal Wang's camp on the march to the east. ”

The crowd was shocked. Li Jing asked out loud: "What's going on with Youyouyou?" Liu Wuzhou and others are all local heroes, and these people belong to each other. Although they are all appointed by my court on the surface, we all know what is actually going on. It's already strange that these people don't fight each other, how can they suddenly be united? ”

"It's Song Jingang."

The generals were a little confused, and they didn't understand why the matter in Hedong suddenly came to Song Jingang, the general of Wei Dao'er's subordinates in Hebei. Although Song Jingang is known as a general, he is the marshal of Wei Dao'er, the Yan Emperor in southern Hebei. One is the marshal of Yan State to the east of Taihang, and the other is the strong and powerful places in Hedong and Longshang west of Taihang, so they should not be able to fight together with eight poles.

"What does this have to do with Song Jingang?" Luo Shixin, who was still a little hangover and had not woken up, was really confused.

Chen Kefu nodded to Zhang Jin in the hall, and Zhang Jin, the new director of the Secret Service Department, immediately stepped out and said to everyone: "The latest information in the southwest of Hebei is that when our army was still attacking Jindi Pass, Li Mi's envoy to Wei Dao'er's rescue also arrived in Yecheng. Li Mi not only asked Nan Chen for help, but also asked Wei Dao'er for help, intending to combine the forces of the three to resist our army. However, after Wei Dao'er received Li Mi's letter asking for help, he refused to go south to ask for help, but instead intended to go north to attack our Beijing division. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Jin smiled a little lightly. Although this time in the Central Plains War, King Chen sent a lot of soldiers and horses from Hebei to the south. But if Wei Dao'er really thought that Beijing was empty and wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob, he was wrong.

In fact, there are also people in Yan Guozhong who can see the reality of Hebei. Marshal of the Yan State. Wei Dao'er's sworn brother Song Jingang proposed to take the opportunity to attack Hedong and seize Hedong to compete with Chen Kefu. Song Jingang's thoughts are very clear, Chen Kefu went south to fight Li Mi to the death, and their Yan Kingdom was the time to watch a good show. Take advantage of this opportunity. There is no need for them to be mixed in, after all, they know the strength of the Hebei Army. And even if they go south to help Li Mi fight Chen Kefu, they won't win this battle easily.

On the contrary, if you don't go south to the Central Plains, let Li Mi and Chen Kefu fight each other. They took the opportunity to enter Hedong and take down the chaotic Hedong in one fell swoop. Then you can take advantage of the situation to seize Guanzhong to the west, and then you can turn around and compete with Chen Kefu for the north. This plan not only avoided joining the Central Plains War, but also suffered extremely heavy casualties. can also sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, so that Chen Kefu and Li Mi can compete with the two tigers. According to Song Jingang's idea, Li Mi was the overlord of the Central Plains, with many soldiers and horses, and the Southern Chen Dynasty as a helper. Even if you can't win Chen Kefu. At least he can compete with Chen Kefu in the Central Plains for two or three years. And in these two or three years, they can completely take Hedong and even march into Guanzhong.

Wei Dao'er wanted to go straight to Beijing, Chen Kefu's rear base camp, while Song Jingang had a long-term idea and wanted to take Hedong. Just when the emperor and marshal of Yan State had not yet decided whether they wanted to go on the Northern Expedition or the Western Expedition, another ruthless person in Yan State who had been watching coldly made a move.

The Taishi of Yanguo, the marshal, the king of Xia, and the national abbot Dou Jiande suddenly made a move. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the banquet held by his daughter Empress Dou Hongxian of Yan State, Emperor Wei Dao'er, Marshal Song Jingang, Zhen Zhai'er and other Yan generals and important figures in Beijing. All of them were invited to the Xia Palace. Then the Hejian Rebel Army, which had been preparing in secret, suddenly attacked the barracks of the other two marshals of Yan State, Song Jingang and Zhen Zhai'er, outside the city. There is mental arithmetic and no intention. In addition, all the officers in the two large battalions were invited into the city for a banquet, and the group was leaderless for a while. The Hejian army defeated the soldiers and horses of Song Jingang and Zhen Zhai'er in one fell swoop. And under the response of the dead soldiers lurking in Yecheng, he opened the gate of Heye City and led the Hejian army into the city. …,

The Hejian army outside the city entered the city, and Dou Jiande in the city sent dead soldiers to surround the Xia Wangfu of the banquet and arrested the civil and military generals of the Yan State one by one. In the chaos, Wei Dao'er was stabbed to death by the queen Dou Hongxian beside him. Wei Dao'er's sworn brothers, Song Jingang and Zhen Zhai'er, had only experienced Wang Xuba's rebellion before. Therefore, this time he saw the opportunity quickly, and as soon as he found out that something was wrong, he immediately changed into the sergeant's clothes and fled.

The two didn't even bring their family members and subordinates, and they didn't return to the barracks, so they went all the way from Hebei to Hedong in disguise, crossed the Taihang Mountain, and secretly defected to Liu Wuzhou. And the situation in Yan is just as Song Jingang and the others guessed, Dou Jiande himself has great prestige in Hebei, and he has been plotting for a long time, and has been secretly wooing the generals and colonels in various armies. So the rebellion happened suddenly, but it ended quickly.

After killing Wei Dao'er, the bodies of Song Jingang and Zhen Zhai'er were not found. However, Dou Jiande directly found two burned inhuman-looking corpses and announced that they belonged to Song Jingang and Zhen Zhai'er, and immediately took control of the military camps inside and outside Yecheng, and quickly purged the confidants and generals loyal to Wei Dao'er, Song Jingang and others. Subsequently, Dou Jiande changed the Yan State to the Xia State and established himself as the emperor. and immediately sealed all the civil and military soldiers under his command, and even promoted and rewarded the generals of the former Yan State who had just surrendered to him, and gave them great wealth.

After a few actions, Dou Jiande quickly changed the sky in the southwest of Hebei. A small Yan country has been removed from the list since then, and all counties and cities have changed to the banner of Xia State. Dou Jiande, who had just succeeded in the rebellion, immediately announced that he would raise troops from all over the country to go south, preparing to join Wei and Chen in the Central Plains, and defeat Chen Kefu with all his might.

Dou Jiande had just sworn in Yecheng, and the news of the Hebei Army's defeat of Li Mi had already spread from the Central Plains. The rapid changes in the situation in the Central Plains made Dou Jiande a little shocked, but Dou Jiande was not frightened, but accelerated the process of sending troops. Zhang Jin finally received the information that Dou Jiande had raised 400,000 troops and sent out all the troops of the newly established Great Xia Kingdom. Dou Jiande even requisitioned all the strong people in the four counties, and all of them accompanied the army to transport logistics and baggage, and used them as supplementary soldiers. According to the information sent by the secret agents of the secret service department, the four counties including Wei County are now empty, and even the cities are empty. Most of the men in the prime of life have been recruited, and there is not even a single strong adult man in the entire four counties.

And just when Dou Jiande changed Yan State to Xia State and proclaimed himself the Son of Heaven, Song Jingang and Zhen Zhai'er had already fled to Hedong and took refuge in Liu Wuzhou. In the early years of the Great Cause, when Zhen Zhai'er and Song Jingang, Wei Dao'er and Wang Xuba were still brothers, they were horse thieves in the Shanggu area, and they often crossed the road of Taihang Mountain into Hedong to plunder. The horse thief name of Lishan Fei is also very famous in Hedong, so when Song Jingang and Zhen Zhaier defected to Liu Wuzhou, Liu Wuzhou was simply ecstatic.

When Liu Wuzhou learned that Dou Jiande had rebelled and had killed Wei Dao'er and established himself as the son of Xia Guo, Liu Wuzhou no longer had any doubts, and immediately became brothers to the two. Liu Wuzhou named Song Jingang as the king and marshal of Song. Feng Zhen Zhai'er was the king of Yan and the marshal.

After Song Jingang and the others took refuge in Liu Wuzhou, they sent their henchmen to Hebei to recruit their old subordinates, and on the other hand, they gave Liu Wuzhou a lot of good schemes. It was precisely under the planning of Song Jingang, and the full promotion of the personal lobbying of Liang Shidu and the other three people, that the Yulin Secret Alliance was finally established, and the four finally formed an alliance and openly turned against Hebei.

Dou Jiande mutinied in Hebei, killed Wei Dao'er, took the Yan State and established the Xia State independently, and ascended the throne as the emperor.

And Liu Wuzhou in Hedong got fierce generals such as Song Jingang and Zhen Zhai'er to take refuge, and immediately connected with the other three powerful families to openly rebel.

These drastic changes and extremely poor news are the reasons why Chen Kefu really has hepatitis. Especially when Chen Kefu heard that Dou Jiande, a guy like a cat with nine lives, actually launched another mutiny, and finally became the final winner in southwest Hebei, he really felt a bit of threat in his heart. Dou Jiande fought with the Hebei army several times and was defeated repeatedly, but he became stronger and stronger. …,

At present, Dou Jiande is like a phoenix nirvana, with four counties at once, and 400,000 soldiers and horses. This kind of strength is something that Dou Jiande has never had. Before Dou Jiande fought with the Hebei Army, when he was the strongest, there were only 70,000 or 80,000 people, and there was no stable rear base. And now, Dou Jiande has not only doubled his soldiers and horses, but also has four dangerous county towns known as the southwest gateway of Hebei.

What is even more worrying is that now Dou Jiande has established himself as the emperor, and no one on his head will be limited to him. From now on, Dou Jiande has a sufficient rear, a huge number of troops, and even supreme free command power. Dou Jiande has changed from scabies in the past to a problem of hands and feet, which has seriously threatened the rear of Hebei, and even has a great threat to Chen Kefu's entire layout.

"Take out Yu Qinming's letter and let you see it." Zhang Jin obediently took out the letter and circulated it to everyone. Cheng Yanjin was the last to get the letter, and when he saw the blood book of Marshal Yu Qinming, the commander-in-chief of the Hebei bandits, on the pale yellow letterhead, which had solidified into black, Cheng Yanjin couldn't help but be shocked, could it be that the situation in Hebei had reached the point of using blood books to transmit messages?

He lowered his head and hurriedly read: "On April 15, Dou Jiande sent 400,000 troops and 1 million people, known as the Xia army's 2 million sworn to march south. On the same day, the Xia army broke through the five cities of Qinghe Zongcheng, Jingcheng, Linqing, Qingquan and Zhengtao. On the 16th, the Xia army occupied the entire territory of Qinghe. On the 17th, 18th, and 19th, the Xia army continued to move south and occupied the entire Wuyang County. On the 20th, the Xia army invaded Jijun, captured Neihuang and Dunqiu, and is currently stationed in Bowang Mountain, preparing to attack Liyang. Our army fought with it for more than ten battles, but the Xia army was surging, and its soldiers were even prosperous, and our army was outnumbered. At present, our army has withdrawn into Liyang Cangcheng" Yu Qinming's tone is as low-key as his people, he did not describe Dou Jiande's Xia army too much in the letter, but just calmly listed what happened, but the battle situation of the Xia army in that column was terrifying.
