On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 137 Leaving the Town of Youzhou
On the 587nd of the first month of the seventh year of Emperor Kaihuang (22), Cui Che was called into the palace by Yang Jian.

"In the past three years, Cui Qing has governed the region, but has he ever neglected his martial arts?"

Yang Jian was not in a hurry to mention the appointment, he brought Cui Che to the school grounds and asked.

Yesterday he was called a virtuous son-in-law because he was discussing his personal relationship, today he is called Cui Qing, and later on he will naturally talk about business matters.

"Fame is only obtained from the horse, and the humble minister dare not neglect it for a moment."

Cui Che replied.

Not to brag, as Cui Che grew older, his strength gradually increased. When he was 13 years old, he could only use a six-double riding bow, but now he can pull a stone bow on a horse.

In the past few years, he has not only practiced riding and archery diligently, but also learned horse lance from Qin Qiong. Although he is not necessarily required to fight in battle, but his skills are so many that he may come in handy one day and save his life.

Yang Jian ordered Cui Che to mount a horse to demonstrate. Cui Che first took a longbow and mounted a horse, hung a pot of arrows, and a royal horse was moved by the guards.

The most important thing for a horse in the palace is to have a gentle temperament. If the temper is too strong, let alone hurt Yang Jian, even if the prince or princess falls off the horse, it will be a big deal.

Therefore, Cui Che didn't need to bother to tame the mount. He got on the horse, and under Yang Jian's gaze, he galloped the horse. While walking, with both hands free, he took the arrow and drew the bow. After aiming for a while, he let go of the bowstring.

The arrow pierced through the air and hit the target fifty paces away.

"it is good!"

Yang Jian applauded loudly for his son-in-law.

Cui Che was greatly encouraged, and he shot arrows continuously. In an instant, the quiver was empty. There were twenty arrows in a pot, and only one arrow fell to the target.

"Cui Qing has really improved a lot!"

Yang Jian praised, of course he knew Cui Che's past level.

At the beginning, Cui Che shot an arrow to injure the picture, and after returning to court, Yang Jian brought him to the school grounds to experience the so-called magic shooting, but that time he really lost people, only six of the ten arrows hit.

Now that he was humiliated, Cui Che didn't give up. He brought the imperial horse closer and asked Yang Jian to use a horse instead.

Yang Jian agreed immediately, so Cui Che changed another horse, dancing vigorously on the galloping imperial horse.

Under Qin Qiong's careful teaching, Cui Che has also learned Ma Leng well in the past three years. Although he is still far from a real master of using lance, it is enough to bluff people.

Drenched in sweat, Cui Che got off his horse and returned to Yang Jian.

Yang Jian said with a smile:

"With Cui Qing's bravery, I can rest assured that I will be entrusted with the important task of border defense."

Cui Che was overjoyed when he heard this.

The important task of border defense may be Huainan, Handong and other places that are in a stalemate with Nanchen.

Just when he was full of joy, Yang Jian also announced the appointment of Cui Che: the governor of Youzhou.

In the third year of Emperor Kaihuang's reign (583), the Sui army split up the Eighth Route Army to counterattack the Turks. Yinshou led the elite soldiers from Youzhou to attack Gao Baoning far away.

At that time, Li Chong, the governor of Youzhou, died in battle, so Yang Jian sent Duke Kui Zhou Yao to take over. Three years, to be precise, three and a half years of his term ended, and Zhou Yao was transferred to other places. The military governor of the six states and fifty towns.

Cui Che couldn't help but feel regretful that he was not sent to the southern front and would go to the north, but he couldn't refuse Yang Jian's arrangement, so he had to ask:

"Your Majesty has an order, and I dare not refuse, but please allow your Majesty to participate in the battle against Chen. I dare not call in elite soldiers from Youzhou. You only need to lead the three thousand township regiments in Anping County."

"Nothing is impossible!"

Yang Jian agreed.

He also knew that Cui Che was eager to participate in destroying Chen. After all, he appeared in "Ping Chen Strategies" at the age of 11. It can be seen that he often thought about destroying Chen Jiangong.

But Huainan and Handong had Han Qinhu, He Ruobi, Yang Su and others sitting in the townships, so there was really no place for Cui Che.

It just so happened that Zhou Yao was transferred, and Youzhou, an important place, urgently needed capable confidantes to guard it, and that's why today's temptation came about.

Yang Jian never doubted Cui Che's intelligence, now seeing that he never slack off his martial arts, he finally made up his mind to send Cui Che to Youzhou.

Seeing that Yang Jian agreed, Cui Che quickly thanked Yang Jian.

As long as you don't miss the battle to destroy Chen, Youzhou is actually a good place to go.

Since ancient times, there has been a saying of elite soldiers from Yanzhao that they are good at running Youzhou. Once the world changes, they can attract elite soldiers from Youzhou to cooperate with Boling cavalry to sweep across the southern part of Hebei and open up the connection with Qingzhou to unite their own forces.

At that time, take Hedong to the west and encroach on Henan to the south, and then the Eastern Wei and Northern Qi will be formed.

As Zhongliang of the Sui Dynasty, after Cui Che left the palace, he drew a blueprint in his mind for helping the society in the future.

When he returned to the mansion, he did not have time to inform everyone of his appointment, so he ordered Li Qing to send someone to Dongyang City to report to Cui Zhaorong, Mrs. Feng and a group of staff who were stranded in Qingzhou to go to Ji County (now Beijing), the seat of Youzhou, to wait.

The next day, the appointments of Pei Xiu, Huang Baiji, and Wei Yi were also issued one after another. The three were in charge of the state's salt affairs, with outstanding achievements. Most of them are represented by them, which also let Yang Jian see the talents of the two.

Huang Baiji was promoted to Qingzhou governor's office, although he was also a governor, but he was transferred from Zhongzhou to Shangzhou, so he was promoted.

And Pei Xiu was worshiped as the Sima of Qingzhou General Manager's Mansion. Among them, Su Wei, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, contributed a lot.

Pei Xiu came from the Pei family of Wenxi, a wealthy family in Hedong, and once served in Yang Guang's shogunate. Naturally, her official career was much smoother than Huang Baiji's, so one served as a Sima in the General Manager's Mansion, and the other could only serve as Chief History in the Governor's Mansion.

As for Wei Yi's appointment, there were no accidents. He was promoted from governor of Jiaozhou to governor of Yingzhou, and became neighbors with Cui Che.

As soon as the appointment was issued, Wei Yi came to the Wucheng Mansion. Cui Che was very clear about his reason for coming, and he just wanted to pull him to continue doing business.

Private salt must no longer be sold, and the two of them could not have the courage to open up beach fields in Youzhou and Yingzhou. Don't be afraid of failing to do business.

It's just how to cooperate specifically, which has to be rearranged.

Back then, the reason why Wei Yi was willing to take over all the work and split the bill with Cui Che was nothing more than the fact that the top officials crushed people to death, and without Cui Che's consent, the private salt business could not be done.

Although there is still a big gap between the two, the governor of Youzhou belongs to the upper class and belongs to the second rank, while the governor of Yingzhou is only the lower class and belongs to the third rank, but the two do not belong to each other, of course Wei Yi will not be so Big concession.

Cui Che made an agreement with Wei Yi that after taking office, he would make a plan to send him out of the palace, and recalled Yang Jian's advice to him before leaving the palace.

Based on the grand strategy of defending from the north and attacking from the south, Yang Jian naturally asked Cui Che not to initiate provocations, but Cui Che had his own ideas.

He planned to transfer the Boling cavalry to Youzhou to practice with Hu people.

Of course, it is natural to be cautious.

In any case, it must be those barbarians who caused the trouble. Cui Che is the most peace-loving person, so he asked the back kitchen to stew a pot of pigeon soup that night.

　It should be gone today. I will finish the old book this month, so I can’t do any more.
