Chapter 456: Seize people with power
The military capital closed down a mere 3,000 soldiers and horses, which really made Chen Kefu have no pressure. Although the military capital Guan Xiongguan was dangerous, when he came this time, he brought a lot of gunpowder. With this kind of sharp weapon, it is still very certain to attack the city. If there are 350,000 people in the military capital, Chen Kefu will have a headache, but 3,000 people and horses, even if they are filled with human lives, it will not take long to pile up the military capital.
At the moment, he plans to give the Luo family a chance, not because he is afraid of casualties, but mainly because he wants to leave a way, and he doesn't want to be completely killed with the Luo family. After all, Luo Yi's prestige in Hebei is still good, and if such a person can be obtained, then it will be easy to win the Zhuojun area. What's more, what he is plotting right now is not just a mere military capital. Taking the military capital pass is just opening the passage to Hebei. The top priority of the Liaodong Army's trip was to seize Hebei in a short period of time and cut off the passage to Hedong in Hebei.
Over there, Xue Dingguo saw Chen Kefu nodding in agreement, hurriedly held up a white flag, and ran to the gate in person. Chen Kefu didn't care that he would never return, anyway, the Xue family still had four brothers in his hands. The defenders above the city, who had already panicked, saw that a horse suddenly ran under the pass and waved a white flag, which was also very strange.
"Do you want to surrender? My Luo family is all iron-blooded heroes, how can they be afraid of death in battle? Lowe, take General Ben's bow. Luo Cheng fought all night, and his face was a little whiter at this time, but his eyes were more unyielding.
Luo Wu, the old family general on the side, carefully looked at the people rushing under the city, getting closer and closer, and he stretched out his hand to block the bow handed over by Luo Wei with a puzzled face. "Something is wrong, young general, look at the man who came down from the city. Doesn't it sound familiar! β
Luo Wu has followed Luo Yi for so many years. How could you not know that the same Hebei Jiangmen as the Luo family, and the children of the Xue family. What's more, the one in front of him is too familiar, this is the younger brother of the head of the Xue family, and Xue Dingguo, whose own general is known as the double general of Youzhou. The two families are not only friends in the world, but also in the same border of Hebei as generals, so they are naturally very familiar. He stood there and watched for a long time, and the more he looked, the clearer it became. The person who came was General Xue Dingguo of the Xue family.
Luo Cheng finally recognized Xue Dingguo at this time, and his face was full of doubts. He knew that the last time his father went to attack the camp in Liaoxi, the four Xue brothers who went with him all fell into the hands of the Liaodong Army and became prisoners of the Liaodong Army. And this Xue Dingguo Xue Shishu, who was with Xue Shixiong's side, they rushed back to Linyu from Zhuojun not long ago to reinforce. A few days ago, my father sent a letter to the family, which mentioned that Xue Shixiong Shibo had led the army out of the customs to confront the rebels, but later withdrew, and did not say that the two armies had a big battle. But why. Now Uncle Xue Dingguo, who should have been in Linyu with his father, suddenly appeared here with the Liaodong rebels?
With thousands of doubts in his heart, Luo Cheng still followed Luo Wu's advice. Let the soldiers hang a big Kuang from the city, and hang the uncle who suddenly appeared in the gate. This time. They didn't dare open the door.
As soon as Xue Dingguo went to the city, there were already dozens of Luo family's guards with spears and horizontal knives to surround him, as if he was facing a great enemy. Xue Dingguo also smiled bitterly when he saw this battle, and hurriedly raised his hand, indicating that he did not bring weapons.
"Nephew Luo, I'm your Uncle Xue."
Luo Cheng stood behind a circle of guards. said calmly, "I know you are Uncle Xue Shi, I'm just wondering, why didn't you appear here with the rebels at Linyu Pass right now?" Could it be that Xue Shishu, one of the Youzhou Twin Generals in the past Weizhen Border Fortress, has actually surrendered the rebels? β
"Look at you, boy, where have you gone? Do you see that your Uncle Xue Shi is such a person? It's really chilling to be so kind to Uncle Shi to you in the past. Xue Dingguo said in a relaxed tone as much as possible. Easing the tension at this time.
"Since Uncle Xue Shi didn't surrender the rebels, why did he appear here?" Luo Cheng was not careless, and still asked.
"Misunderstandings, all misunderstandings. Let's put it this way with you, the Liaodong Army has now been surrendered by His Majesty, and Chen Kefu is now not only reinstated as an official, but also has been promoted to a knight, and he is the king of the county. β
"I already know this from the letter sent by my father, but even if Officer Chen Po is reinstated, then he is only the commander of Liaoxi, Liaodong, and Murowei counties, why did he bring troops here and attack our army's capital?" β¦,
Xue Dingguo had no choice but to tell him the set of rhetoric that Chen Kefu had told him before, what His Majesty was the edict to let him command his troops to attack the Turkic steppe. What Liaodong army defeated Shibi's army, captured Shibi and other Turkic nobles, what Chen Kefu now wants to borrow from Hebei to enter Hedong, rush to see the emperor and so on.
After hearing all this, Luo Cheng, Luo Wu and other generals at the head of the city all looked at each other, completely unable to believe that the Turkic army that surrounded the emperor in Yanmen and was extremely humiliated was actually annihilated by the Liaodong Army, and even more could not believe that the Shibi Khan, the hero of the grassland, had actually become a prisoner of the Liaodong Army. It's not that they don't believe it, it's just that all this is too sensational to be believed, like a desolate night, and they can't believe it.
Looking at the expressions of Luo Cheng and the others, Xue Dingguo was not unconcerned, when they first heard these things, they were not so ordinary. If it weren't for the Great Liaoxi to see Pei Shiju and Princess Izumo, and the emperor's edict. I had seen Turkic nobles such as Shibi Khan before, and they would not believe it either. But hearing is false, and seeing is believing. What he saw with his own eyes was something that he had to believe.
"Nephew, I know it's a bit hard to get in love with for a while, but it's true. Previously, His Majesty appeased the Liaodong rebels, and added Chen Ke to his official position, and even married the princess to him as his wife, with a different surname and a different surname, which of them is normal. But didn't your father also write to tell you? It's all true. And now that they have annihilated the Turkic army and ambushed Shibi Khan, they are really there to rush to face the king. If you don't believe it, you can send a few people who have believed in it to go with Uncle Shi to see you there. β
"Now that Chen Pojun and Shibi Khan are both closed, there is nothing false."
Luo Cheng stood there, pursed his lips and said nothing, but he already believed Xue Dingguo's words a little in his heart. If it is said that Xue Dingguo surrendered the Liaodong Army, he will not believe it no matter what. The Xue family and the Luo family have intersected for generations, and they are all world friends who know the roots. But Rao is like this, he still can't calm down in his heart.
Luo Wu stepped forward and said, "Young General, I have seen Chen Pojun and Shibi Khan before, so it is better to let me go down to the pass, go and see with my own eyes, and then listen to what Chen Pojun has to say." When I get back, it's not too late to make a decision. β
When the momentum is not as good as others, you can only take one step at a time. Luo Wu also understood that Qu Qu 3,000 people would not be able to stop the 100,000 horses of the Liaodong Army no matter what. At present, the herald has been sent to the south to report the news, and it can only be delayed for a while.
At that moment, Luo Cheng nodded in agreement, and Luo Wu was hung in Kuangzhong on the head of the city over there, and he went down to the city. Luo Wu ran to the front of the Liaodong Army and put forward his own request, but Chen Kefu did not allow it. Not only did he see Shibi Khan with his own eyes, but he also asked him a lot of questions. For the actual guard general who is now closed in the military capital, Chen Kefu didn't take much of a shelf, but promised Luo Wu a lot of kind words. The purpose is just to pass the test. But under Chen Kefu's smile on the surface, Luo Wu still deeply felt the threat in Chen Kefu's words.
Today's military capital is like a pile of dry firewood, as long as Chen Kefu is willing, they will be devoured by fire at any time, and then they will be burned without even a trace of ashes.
"Chen Dashuai, I will definitely convey all the words of the marshal to the young general of my family, and everything is up to the young general's decision." Luo Wu's expression was solemn.
Chen Kefu smiled slightly, "Okay, Ben Shuai is here waiting for General Luo's reply." But I might as well tell you a word in advance, Ben Shuai is in a hurry to go to Hedong, so time is limited. The commander will give you half an hour to consider at most, and after half an hour, whether you agree or not, the commander and the commander's soldiers and horses will be in the military capital. β
Luo Wu was stunned for a moment, "Chen Dashuai, don't forget, now you and I are both soldiers and horses of the imperial court, and forcibly attacking the imperial court pass is a crime of rebellion." β
Chen Kefu smiled disappreciatively, "Rebellion? Do you really think that Ben Shuai will care? The military capital is closed with only 3,000 men and horses, even if this commander rushes to the level and kills all of you, what will happen? This time, Ben Shuai had just annihilated tens of thousands of Turkic troops, and the captives such as Shibi Khan were anxious to be sent to the east of the river. Do you really think that Your Majesty will take me, the king of the county who has just been sealed, because of your three thousand small fish and shrimp? If you do, you'd be naΓ―ve. β
Listening to the young county king in front of him, saying such explicit words so arrogantly, Luo Wu's face swelled purple. But with his mouth open, he didn't say a word for a long time, so he could only put down his hand helplessly. He knew that what Chen Kefu said was actually the truth, since the emperor could appease the Liaodong Army and return Chen Kefu to the king, then how could he go to Chen Kefu for trouble because of this matter in front of him? This Chen Kefu has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands, and this is a real big man who supports soldiers and respects himself.
Sighing a little lonely, Luo Wu arched his hand, "The last general will retire, no matter what the outcome of the matter is, within half an hour, he will definitely give an answer to the marshal." After speaking, he turned around and returned to Guancheng, but the departing footsteps were indescribably heavy, and the back was indescribably lonely. He understands that the Luo family has suppressed the military capital for more than ten years, and his prestige is still prosperous in the past, but in the eyes of powerful ministers like Chen Pojun at this time, they are just some insignificant little people.
