On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 184
Cui Che didn't care whether Ahui Lusu was tempted by Goguryeo's lure, or whether it was true as he said, to create turmoil in northern Xinjiang so that he could return to Youzhou.

Convincing Ahui Lusu to give up attacking western Liaoning, Cui Che asked a lot of specific information about Khitan and Goguryeo.

Kumoxi, Khitan, and Goguryeo have occupied the Northeast region together for hundreds of years. They don't say they know each other, but they are far more detailed than what Cui Che got from the history books.

Ahui Lusu also answered every question, and even incidentally informed the Yingzhou governor Wei Yi of his private trade with Khitan, Goguryeo, and Kumoxi.

Before taking office in Youzhou, Wei Yi approached Cui Che, and wanted to bring his good brother to do business together.

Cui Che also agreed to it at first, but later he was busy going out to fight in the fortress, and returning to the court to report on his duties after the war delayed it.

Naturally, Wei Yi wouldn't wait any longer, and simply went it alone.

At the beginning, the two partnered to sell salt, but if Cui Che hadn't stopped him, Wei Yili would have been greedy and even wanted to expand production.

Now without Cui Che's obstruction, he took advantage of his position as the governor of Yingzhou to do a huge business, and his profits far exceeded what he earned from selling salt in Qingzhou.

However, the stall was too large, and the news eventually leaked out. Although he saved a huge fortune, he was ridiculed by the public opinion.

After Ahui Lusu left, Cui Che received the leaders of many small tribes one after another, and even envoys from the Khitan tribe traveled across Kumoxi's sphere of influence to pay their respects.

And Cui Che always wears military uniforms, and strictly guards the guard of honor outside the tent. Those who enter the tent are intimidated by his illustrious reputation, and don't even dare to look up.

However, Cui Che's trip was not just to show off his prestige, he showed a friendly attitude in front of people, just like the appearance of having fun with the people after he took office as the governor of Qingzhou.

For several months, Cui Che took the cavalrymen from the six states to patrol the northern border to appease the tribes, and it was already the end of November when they returned to Ji County.

He disbanded the cavalry from the six states, but everyone refused to leave and insisted on escorting Cui Che to leave Youzhou.

But how could Cui Che be willing to do such a thing that made the court suspicious? After all, this is not the same as seeing off the people, and it is much more sensitive.

Thirty thousand cavalry were forcibly disbanded, and even the Boling cavalry went back to their hometown in Anping County.

On that day, the camp outside the city was full of weeping.

Cui Che runs the army strictly, rewards for meritorious deeds, and punishes mistakes, but after punishment, he always goes to comfort the soldiers himself, so he can win the support of the soldiers.

Of course, the most important thing is that Cui Che is good at strategizing. Under his command, several battles were fought with few casualties, but the capture was very rich, and the rewards to the troops were even more generous. No one would love such a general.

After the cavalry left, Cui Che also dismissed the [-] guards he had recruited from the [-] military towns under his rule.

These two hundred personal guards also followed Cui Che out of the fortress to fight, but they were absent from the Yuyang ambush.

Over the past three years, all the meritorious deeds made by the personal guards have been recorded one by one, and they are promoted first. Cui Che is often rewarded to win people's hearts.

Just like Qingzhou's personal guards, they were also scattered by Cui Che in fifty towns in six states to serve as mid-level and low-level officers.

On the third day of December, after arranging various matters, Cui Che left his staff in Ji County, waiting for the new chief executive to come and take over, and the concubines were also temporarily left in Ji County, waiting for his own notice.

Cui Che himself didn't know where to stand next, whether to stay in the court to take office, or to be able to take up a post as he wished.

He led Zhao Wen, Li Qing, Wang De and more than [-] people to accompany him first. When the people of Ji County heard the news, they all came to see him off.

During Cui Che's three years in Youzhou, he did not devote much energy to civil affairs, and almost left all the government affairs to Chang Shi Li Gang, Si Lu Fang Yanqian and others.

But for the people of Youzhou, it was only during the three years that Cui Che was in office, they really lived a peaceful life, and they were no longer disturbed by Turks and Xi people, and they didn't have to rush to hide when they heard the sound of horseshoes. mountain forest.

With great difficulty, Cui Che passed through the crowd and left Jicheng.

Walking to the edge of Yishui, there was the sound of roaring horseshoes all around.

Cui Che reined in the reins, and the entourage also showed nervous expressions.

"Don't be nervous, it's the soldiers who came to see me off spontaneously, not horse thieves."

Cui Che comforted everyone with a smile.

For such a big movement, it must be tens of thousands of horses galloping. Which bandit has such a large force that it can form a cavalry team of tens of thousands of people.

It's even more impossible to be barbarian cavalry, if they could touch here quietly, Cui Che, the governor of Youzhou, would be in vain.

Sure enough, the sound of horseshoes came from far to near, and tens of thousands of cavalry appeared in the field of vision. They took off their armor and sent them off in only their normal clothes.

Cui Che even saw two hundred personal guards in the crowd, as well as the trilogy that he had already sent back to Anping County. Of course, it was impossible for Cui Che to bring three thousand cavalry into the court.

I don't know who is behind the cavalry, all the [-] cavalrymen got off their horses, knelt down silently, only faint cries could be heard.

Cui Che looked around at everyone, and after a long time, finally boarded the ferry.

The [-] cavalry did not disperse until they could no longer see Cui Che's back.

Compared to Cui Che who only brought about twenty entourages and traveled lightly, Wei Yi, the governor of Yingzhou, returned to the imperial court with a much larger team.

He managed well and took away dozens of carts of goods.

When passing through Youzhou, the military and civilians compared the generals of the two places, and they all felt that Cui Che had a breeze in his sleeves.

Cui Che went to Fukou Xing, one of the eight Xing Xings in Taihang Mountains. He made an appointment with Jin Wang Yang Guang to return to Beijing together.

The so-called three-year term for local officials is naturally not used to restrain the prince. Yang Guang came to Beijing just to report on the achievements of Bingzhou officials in this year.

After passing Fukouxing, there are many grotto murals along the way, most of which were engraved during the Eastern Wei and Northern Qi Dynasties.

Due to the military-political duality of Jinyang and Yecheng in the Eastern Wei and Northern Qi, Gao Huan, Gao Cheng, father and son, and the emperors of the Northern Qi had to travel frequently between Jinyang and Yecheng.

They not only built more scenery along the way, but also repaired the roads, which also made Fukou Xing the best road among the eight Xings of Taihang.

Yang Guang learned of Cui Che's itinerary, and waited by the Zhangshui River with Jin Princess Xiao.

"Zicheng is finally here."

After a long distance, Yang Guang laughed loudly.

Cui Che glanced at Concubine Xiao, and thought: The demeanor is still so elegant and dignified.

Immediately, he withdrew his gaze, rode his horse towards him, and greeted Yang Guang warmly. The two exchanged pleasantries. Cui Che looked at the girl next to Princess Xiao and asked:

"Is this the king's daughter?"

Yang Guang nodded, and told his daughter:
"Guanyin maidservant, hurry up and greet uncle!"

Cui Che was astonished upon hearing this.

Brother, my son's name is Bodhisattva slave, you get a Guanyin servant girl for your daughter, the abacus beads hit my face, why don't you be so straightforward.

The four-year-old Avalokitesvara maid obediently saluted Cui Che:
"Avalokitesvara's servant pays respects to my uncle."

　The next chapter is at 11:[-] p.m., so let’s make sure it’s three o’clock today, because it’s going to be recommended on the [-]th, and I want to save a chapter for the next few days.
