Call the shì women in the house and ask them not to disturb the princess first, and wait for the princess to wake up before serving her. After the order, Chen Kefu walked out of the house, feeling that this fresh morning, his whole person was more and more refreshed.

"Dashuai!" Outside the gate of the mansion, Chen Lei was already waiting for him.

Chen Kefu expanded his body, and said in a good mood, "Immediately send an order to all the generals in the city, gather all the soldiers and horses, and then bring the uncles and nephews of the Xue family with them." Xue Shixiong has been here for a day, how can we, as the masters, close the door and not see each other, today we will go to meet Xue Shixiong. Several herald cavalrymen who followed behind him gave the order, turned over their horses, and galloped on the streets of Luhe Town in the early morning, and the iron hooves of the war horses struck on the bluestone slabs, making a crisp sound.

Listening to this sound, a feeling of exuberance returned to my heart. This is the smell of war, and the smell of iron and blood. Chen Kefu shook his head in satisfaction and took the two handscrolls from Chen Lei,

Immediately, he wrote two handsome orders and stamped his own seal.

"The herald, immediately convey the commander's order to General Lu Shishen in Linhaidun City and General Mao Yi in Liucheng, and at three o'clock in the afternoon, the two armies must reach within twenty miles of the left and right flanks of the Sui army camp in Luhe Town. If there is an outdated one, the military law will severely punish it! ”

"Order!" The two heralds hurriedly took the order, went to the liaison office of the secret service department in the city, and sent the Eagle Secret Message.

The soldiers and horses in the city received Chen Kefu's order, and they also quickly assembled in the morning. Groups of infantry began to assemble, lined up in a phalanx and drove out of the West City, and stood by outside the West City.

After the infantry left the city, the sappers also began to carry their horses out of the city, forming huge phalanxes along the outside of the city. Immediately after that, there were the light cavalry units. Nearly 20,000 light cavalry straddled their horses, passed through the city gates, crossed the drawbridge, separated to the left and right flanks, and finally stopped at the two flanks of the infantry phalanx.

The movement in Luhe City, there was already a Tanma who had been monitoring the movement in the city, and quickly told the Sui army that Xue Shixiong had encountered it.

Hearing the report of Tanma, Xue Shixiong frowned, pondered for a while, and said, "Since the rebels are in formation, then we can't be cowardly and fall into the prestige of our army." The commander ordered the whole army to line up and prepare for the battle. "Although I feel that the rebels in the city are out of the city and are acting very suspiciously. After all, there is a tight city in the city to rely on, and it is more appropriate to play a defensive battle. But now seeing that there are 60,000 soldiers in the city, they dare to take the initiative to go out of the city, which is a bit suspicious. Xue Shixiong took the initiative to attack Liaoxi this time, but he really wanted to fight Chen Kefu in a decisive battle. He only got the news before, and he was seven points sure that Chen Kefu was not in the Liaodong Army under Linyu City, and the rebel camp was only 100,000, not a grand army of 250,000.

Although I don't know why there is Chen Kefu's handsome flag in the camp, but the people are not there. But Xue Shixiong still felt that this was an opportunity. Blindly passive defense is not the best defense. Sometimes, an appropriate offense, with offense instead of defense, can achieve more strategic initiative.

After discussing with Li Jing, Xue Shixiong took nearly ninety percent of the soldiers and horses from Linyu Pass to take the initiative to go out of the city.

According to their previous calculations, if the rebels under the city do not retreat, then they will fight with more strikes and fewer losses, and they will also annihilate these 100,000 rebels. But if the rebels retreated, they pushed right forward. At present, several peasant rebels in the south of Hebei have risen up, and have completely occupied three counties, and cut off the canal and the Yellow River in the north in one fell swoop.

The imperial court's food and salaries could no longer be transported north by water, and the transportation of the Yellow River and the canal was lost, and although the Hebei army still had enough food for a year, it also made them feel the crisis. Now there is still grain in the army, but the consumption of the people in the cities is the biggest number, if the canal continues to be blocked, then it will not be long before there will be a food shortage in all parts of Hebei. Once there is a food shortage, more people will definitely take advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos.

Therefore, after thinking about it for a long time, they planned to send troops to force the rebels to retreat eastward. Now is the season of ripening wheat in Liaoxi, as long as the rebels are forced to retreat eastward, they can take the opportunity to harvest all the ripe wheat in the fields and transport it back to Linyu to deal with the crisis.

Just last night, Xue Shixiong had sent nearly 20,000 people to harvest a lot of wheat that was still just ripe in the dark. According to Xue Shixiong's plan, now that the rebels continue to retreat into the city, he will divide his troops into three routes, surround the cities occupied by the rebels in Sanzhu, and then quickly seize all the wheat in Liaoxi. …,

But now the rebels suddenly left the city, although it broke his intentions. But his heart was faintly happier as long as he defeated the rebels in front of him. He will be able to take the opportunity to break the rebels in Liucheng and Linhaidon City again, and then attack the Liao River and completely defeat the rebels. As long as Liaodong is won, the countless grains and grasses in Liaodong can completely solve the food shortage that Hebei is about to face.

Xue Shixiong's camp was twenty miles away from Luhe City, and after forming a formation outside the camp at this time, he did not immediately lead the army to Luhe City, but waited. Sui Jun's performance is a bit surprising, and if something goes wrong, he is a demon. He intends to respond to all changes with the same and be the last to be the first to make the system.

Under Luhe City, in addition to leaving 10,000 soldiers and horses to defend the city, Chen Kefu gathered the remaining 50,000 soldiers and horses. The army of 50,000 people, crowded with people, especially when standing in front of the formation, in the flags fluttering in the sky, such as the spears of the forest, and the dazzling bright armor reflecting the sun, you can feel the shocking power of the army even more.

Chen Kefu was wearing a bright silver unicorn bright light battle armor, holding a bright silver zhang eight long lance, straddled the body of a purple lù like a ball of purple fire all over his body, and the bright silver daze behind him fluttered in the wind, and the snow-white helmet on the helmet flew and danced. People are like tigers, horses are like dragons.

"How do a few generals Xue think of my Liaodong Army?" Chen Kefu faced the five uncles and nephews of the Xue family behind the horse.

At this time, the five people had already washed and tidied up, and one by one they had already recovered the majestic general's momentum, and they were no longer half embarrassed. They rode war horses and followed Chen Kefu not far behind, taking a close look at the world-famous Liaodong Army.

As a general of a defeated army, it is an amazing feeling to watch the defeated army so closely. Xue Dingguo nodded and said, "The handsome generals are famous all over the world, and the Liaodong Army is indeed a strong soldier in the world." "Since hearing the holy decree brought by Pei Shiju yesterday, Chen Kefu has been courteous to them.

Although they didn't understand what the emperor meant, since Chen Kefu not only exempted him from responsibility, but also promoted him to the rank of official and crowned the king, then these things were not up to them. Speaking of which, the two parties who were still fighting and killing before have now become colleagues in the court. Even Chen Kefu is still their boss, although he is not directly subordinate, but Chen Kefu's official position is too high, and they can only obey at such a level.

Xue Wanche said on the horse, "King of the county, since Your Majesty has made an order, now the king of the county and Liaodong have returned to the imperial court." Why is he ordering troops to line up again, is it possible that the marshal has won the reward of the imperial court, and at the same time plans to attack his colleagues in the imperial court? Chen Kefu smiled, "General Xue's words are wrong, although His Majesty has issued an edict, and it will be sent to the world." But the mountains are high and the rivers are far away, but I am afraid that many people still don't know about it.

Ben Shuai ordered troops to set up a formation, but he was just going to convey His Majesty's edict to Marshal Xue. Now His Majesty has re-ordered his own commander to command the soldiers and horses of the fifteen counties of Liaodong, Liaoxi, and Murowei, and has been crowned the generalissimo of the soldiers and horses of Mobei Province. Then this marshal is the commander of all the soldiers and horses in Liaodong, and Marshal Xue is a general in Hebei, and now he is waving his troops into my Liaoxi, but this is a transgressive behavior. Ben Shuai just went to inform him, I believe that Marshal Xue will know how to advance and retreat after hearing His Majesty's will. ”

After speaking, Chen Kefu turned his head and said loudly, "The officers and men of the three armies listen to the order, march slowly in formation, and if they encounter an active attack, they can immediately counterattack!" ”

Fifty thousand horses were lined up in turn, with infantry in front, cavalry on the flanks, and engineer units in the rear. The infantry lined up neatly... One footsteps, stepping out of a neat rhythm on the ground. The cavalry in the back,

The sappers also kept a proper distance and kept up.

Twenty miles is not long, but short is not short. If you charge, a rush charge, it won't take long to arrive. But Chen Kefu put out such a large array, but he only advanced slowly, not in a hurry.

Xue Shixiong lined up to greet him, but from early in the morning, until the morning, and finally until the middle of the day. The 50,000 horses of the Liaodong Army moved from the city slowly and slowly from the city like the old soldiers, and finally stopped only two miles away from the Hebei Army.

In the long smoke and dust, Xue Shixiong saw that in the Liaodong military array, a huge Chen character Daxu was waving in the wind. Below it, there are dozens of generals with gorgeous and well-armored armor. Even, from a distance, he seemed to see his captured cousin and four sons. Look closely,

found out that this was indeed the case, and his four sons and cousins were all in the Liaodong Army at this time.

Xue Shixiong was wearing a fish-scale armor, and his iron armor was covered with smoke and dust, and there were even many places that had been repaired. Beneath the iron helmet was a wrinkled, even slightly thin face. Huā's white beard hung on his face, and his thin face made it impossible to believe that this was Xue Shixiong, one of the Eight Tiger Generals of the Northern Frontier of the Great Sui, Xue Dashuai. But on the dry and thin face full of traces of age, there were a pair of bright and wise eyes, and the light flashed.

Looking at the five relatives in the rebel array, Xue Shixiong's gaze moved for a moment, but then he regained his composure. He had already seen that one of the silver-armored generals under that Daxu was Chen Kefu, the head of the Liaodong rebels. Looking at the figure that he once admired very much, Xue Shixiong sighed in his heart, and said in his heart, Chen Pojun, if you want to take Dingguo and Wan Che to blackmail Ben Shuai, not only will it not play any role, but it will only make Ben Shuai look down on you.

In front of the two armies, the wind swept the banners, and the bright bright light armor and metal shield reflected the sunlight under the arrow, and one after another the light rose, shining all over the sky!。
