Li Jie was originally a senior general of the Sui Army's internal guards, a son of a famous family, and has always been the third-in-command in the army. This time to set up the Marshal of the Marching Army, he originally thought that even if he had no real power, Chen Kefu would have to give him the position of the marching Sima even if he had face.

Who would have thought that Chen Kefu would do such a desperate job, in front of more than 300 generals of the whole army, but let him Chen Kefu Farm be afraid that the old housekeeper would come to be the third-in-command marching Sima of the 100,000 army. On the contrary, he, a senior general of the Sui Army, can only serve as a marching commander with no soldiers and no power, which is really bearable, which is unbearable!

"Marshal, Your Majesty has ordered you to be the Marshal of the Marching Army, and has given you full authority to set up the Marshal of the Liaodong Marching Army, and all the generals will be allocated by you, which is Your Majesty's incomparable trust in you.

Although I have reservations about what Dashuai has done in the past, I still admire Dashuai very much in the general direction. But why do you want to do this today? Could it be that as soon as you became a public servant, you were already arrogant and complacent? ，。

As soon as Li Jie was embarrassed, the powerful generals in the first row of the left column all smiled slightly, they had already seen a lot of such a situation. Dashuai has never stopped suppressing Li Jie, and every time Li Jie can't bear it, he will do this. But in their opinion, there is no suspense about such a reaction, just like those girls in the green building, they always disobey at the beginning, but in the end, they don't have to take off their clothes and open their hands at the mercy of others? The same is true of the current Li Jie, in the end, he must only break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.

In the past, they were still a little hesitant about these battles, but now, they have all firmly stood on the side of the handsome Chen Kefu. Not only is Chen Kefu the commander of the First Army, but what is important is that they have always been impressed by the temperament and charm of Chen Kefu when he commanded the three foreign armies.

And with Chen Kefu, they have always been the biggest beneficiaries, and no one wants to get along with them.

Yu Qinming and other newly joined generals during the Second Expedition to Liao were a little confused, they were all just,

He just joined the Northeast Army. Although he vaguely felt that Li Jie, the third-in-command in this army, seemed to be a little powerless and powerless, he didn't expect that it would come to this point.

At this time, the most stupid people also understood that Li Jie and Chen Kefu were not on the right path. However, none of these people showed any expression on their faces, and they all sat there one by one as if they were old monks. These people themselves are all generals from the fifth grade or above, no more than those real generals in the Northeast Army, most of them have only recently risen, they are all old fritters in the Sui army, and they have long been surprised by these upper-level battles. At this time, the immortals fought and their newly attached soldiers all chose to remain silent.

"General Li, Your Majesty is not fully aware of the successive victories we have achieved this time. In a few days, Lord Huang will return to the Central Plains, I don't think it is better to return to the Central Plains with General Li and Lord Huang to meet Your Majesty? First, to protect the safety of Lord Huang on the way, and secondly, all these things that happened in Liaodong also need a weighty person to explain to His Majesty in detail. ，。 The corners of Chen Kefu's mouth curled slightly, and he said to Li Jie with a smile. For his accusations, it seems that they have not heard it at all.

Li Jie's mouth opened, he really wanted to agree to stay in Liaodong for a long time, and all he could do was to be a logistics manager. And now, it looks like even this logistics manager can't do it, so he can only eat and wait for death.

But when he wanted him to say that and agree to go back to the Central Plains, he suddenly couldn't speak when the words reached the corners of his mouth. After being in Liaodong for so long, he suddenly found that he was a little reluctant to leave here. Although he is a noble son from a family, he is also a general. Vertical and horizontal war horses, meritorious achievements, and marquis worship generals, he also dreams like all generals. And during this period in Liaodong, especially the period when he stayed in Liaodong, he had a very enthusiastic feeling.

Fighting Liaodong City, the ambush is higher than Zhen, the Jinshan ambush battle, defeating the Khitan and surrendering the shoe bow, this experience again and again makes him unforgettable, and thinking about it makes his blood boil. Although he has been suppressed and suppressed by Chen Kefu, he can't command the army and can only do logistics, but he is also unwilling to leave like this.

His face was swollen and flushed, and after a long time, Li Jie said, "I'm just reminding you, don't go too far, this is also for the good of the handsome." As for returning to the Central Plains to see Your Majesty, in my opinion, it is enough to send a lieutenant, and the Goguryeo people may go north at any time, how can I leave as a marching Sima at this time. ，。 ,

There was a sudden silence in the military conference hall, and a needle drop could be heard, and as soon as Li Jie's words came out, his jaw dropped. Although everyone knows that Li Jie and Chen Kefu will lose in the confrontation, they never thought that Li Jie would admit defeat so quickly this time, and he also said such kind words.

Even Chen Kefu was taken aback, originally he wanted to give Li Jie a chance to leave Liaodong by himself, after all, the Northeast Army has made such a great contribution, if Li Jie returns to the Central Plains at this time, then as the third-in-command in the army, he will naturally have to be rewarded after he goes back. In any case, it is better than continuing to stay in Liaodong and be an empty general with no real power. Who would have thought that it would be such a result.

Chen Kefu smiled, at this time, he didn't have the heart to guess the purpose of Li Jie's stay, he reached out and patted him on the shoulder, "Thank you Li Changshi for the reminder, but everything this Shuai did was for the sake of the Great Sui, for Your Majesty, and for our soldiers in Liaodong." Since Li Changshi is willing to stay and fight against Goguryeo together, then Ben Shuai is naturally very welcome."

True or false, the unnutritious and Li Jie exchanged a few more words. Chen Kefu said: "Now we have nearly 80,000 soldiers and horses, including 10,000 broken barracks, and when His Majesty withdrew his troops, he ordered me to increase the number of soldiers from the Ten Prefectures by 12,000. Now His Majesty has ordered us to recruit 100,000 troops on the spot, so that we will have 122,000 men and horses.

Now, let's first discuss, how should these 122,000 people be compiled? ，。

Yang Guang's original intention was to allow Chen Kefu's Liaodong camp to support 100,000 troops, but what he said in his edict was not very clear. Chen Kefu, who was bent on rebelling and recruiting troops to expand his power, would miss such an opportunity. He directly pretended not to understand Yang Guang's true meaning, but instead played a literal game, saying that the emperor asked him to recruit another 100,000 soldiers and horses, so that the previous 22,000 people would not be counted.

All the generals present had heard the edict before, so they naturally understood very well that the emperor meant to let the Liaodong camp govern 100,000 soldiers and horses. But now his own big well said this, it was clearly a mistake, and after the first reaction, several generals wanted to remind him.

However, a few people just made a move, but they were immediately ripped off by the generals around them, and after a few glances, everyone understood. It's not that the big guy doesn't understand, but he understands it too well. This is playing with fire, and he actually started an article with the emperor's edict. The purpose is naturally very obvious, in order to have an additional 22,000 soldiers and horses.

As soon as everyone pondered, they also felt that there was nothing wrong with this, there were more than 20,000 soldiers and horses in the Liaodong camp, so there would be more than 20,000 more soldiers in the hands of these generals, and they would be a little more sure when resisting Goguryeo in the future. Although they feel in their hearts, it doesn't matter how many soldiers and horses there are, after all, there are no soldiers, and there can still be strong people. In the past month or so, they have not only had 22,000 official soldiers and horses, but they have still raised a team of 80,000 people.

Li Benlei was the deputy marshal of the Liaodong Xing Battalion at this time, and as the second-in-command in the army, he was naturally the first to speak.

"Dashuai, the establishment of 122,000 people is a lot more than our current 80,000 people, which is equivalent to an increase of nearly half of the people at once, which is not a small number. At present, there are only about 9,000 veterans in the army, and nearly half of them are organized independently. There are less than 5,000 veterans in the remaining 70,000-odd army, and the ratio of new veterans has exceeded 10 to 1, and even reached 14 to 1. Now with another 40,000 new soldiers, it will be equal to our 20 to 1, which is a very dangerous number, and the combat effectiveness of our soldiers and horses will plummet. ，。

What Li Benlei said was the truth, and it was unrealistic to blindly expand the number of soldiers and horses, after all, these soldiers and horses were not veterans, nor were they trained government soldiers, but farmers. If there are too many new soldiers, then the combat effectiveness of the entire army will seriously decline, and when it reaches such a feared figure of twenty to one, then there is no doubt that such an army can only win and not be defeated, because if it is defeated, it will be ruined, and there will be no place to turn over.

Although Mao Xi had just arrived in Liaodong, he had already solved the situation of the entire Liaodong Army through Chen Qing. As an old minister of the Chen Dynasty, and with Chen Kefu, he shared the ambition of restoring the country, so he naturally knew that Chen Kefu took the risk of playing word games, and wanted to increase the number of soldiers and horses to 120,000.

Although the people can also take up arms and train to fight, those people have too many changes, and the army is different. If there is an establishment, there will be officials, soldiers, and names, and these are the capital of their Chen family's restoration of the country.

"The lieutenant's words are true, but our situation is not so bad now. ，。 Mao Xi got up and said, "Now there are more than 9,000 veterans of the most elite broken barracks in our army, which is a little little, but don't forget, we have just rescued 8,000 captured veterans in Liaodong."

These 8,000 soldiers, although they are not as elite as the broken barracks, are even a little weak after being prisoners for a year.

But these are the most elite soldiers of the Great Sui Hundred Battles, especially these are veterans who have been ignited and tempered for the rest of their lives......

Eight thousand veterans, this is a force to be reckoned with, and Chen Kefu is even more unlikely to let go of such a piece of fat. What's more, these 8,000 people, what he values most are those officers, from the ninth grade to the fourth grade, among the 8,000 people, there are nearly 1,000 officers at all levels, and most of them are low-level officers. With the replenishment and enrichment of these more than 1,000 officers, the combat effectiveness of the entire Liaodong soldiers and horses can also rise by more than one level.
