On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 206 News from Beyond the Great Wall
Cui Che was worried that he would be hurt by drinking and sex, so he made up his mind to quit drinking several times, but because of communication and entertainment, he broke the quit every time.

In the end, the power is still not enough, otherwise, even if the wine is mixed with water in an open and honest manner, others will not dare to complain.

After returning to Jinyang after seven years, to be honest, Yang Guang's governance of Bingzhou is obvious to all. When Cui Che had a drink with him, the compliments he gave were not all lies.

At least the current Yang Guang is indeed acting like a virtuous king.

It's nothing more than Yang Jian will eventually choose him to inherit the Datong.

Anyone can make an afterthought, but if they don't know the development of history, I'm afraid they will be deceived by him like Yang Jian.

As the night darkened, Cui Che said goodbye to Yang Guang and returned to his house.

This house was bought by Shi Shi when he was the governor of Bingzhou.

Fang Yanqian, Fang Xuanling and his son were already waiting in the wing room of their home.

Kong Yingda went straight to Daxing, reported to the Ministry of Officials, and accepted the assessment. The rest of the staff were left in Youzhou and other places by Cui Che, and they only called Fang Yanqian, Fang Xuanling and his son to listen to him as his advisers.

The concubines are still staying in Ji County for the time being. Mu Xieli and Yu Wenfang were pregnant in mid-June last year, and there is only more than one month left before the due date. Cui Che simply asked the other concubines to accompany them temporarily until the birth Baby, come back to Daxing for reunion.

As for Cui Zhaorong and the others, they traveled by water, upstream from the Yellow River, and then from Tongguan to Daxing through the Guangtong Canal.

Grandmother Feng Lao Furen is very old, and it is better to travel by boat than bumpy carriage.

There were no outsiders, Fang Yanqian and Fang Xuanling saw Cui Che, bowed and called the lord, and saluted him.

Cui Che showed a bright smile, helped the father and son up, exchanged pleasantries with Fang Yanqian, and then involuntarily looked at Fang Xuanling.

The 12-year-old Fang Xuanling is at the age of growing taller. Compared with when we parted at the end of last year, I feel that I have grown taller.

Cui Che invited the two to a seat, and then he heard Fang Yanqian report on the affairs in Youzhou and beyond the Great Wall. Cui Che had already resigned, but he did not let go of Qingzhou and Youzhou. They could even be counted as permanent residents in Daxing Actual manager.

Among them, Cui Che was particularly concerned about information about Goguryeo.

Last year, Ahui Lusu mentioned to Cui Che that Goguryeo had contacted him to plunder western Liaoning. Now he finally got the exact news that King Gaotang of Goguryeo died of illness and his son Gaoyuan came to the throne.

The new king succeeded to the throne, the political power was unstable, and he would not resort to war in a short time, but Cui Che did not dare to underestimate Goguryeo.

Climate change will undoubtedly have a profound impact on the rise and fall of a country. The demise of the Ming Dynasty must have many problems in itself, but the impact of the Little Ice Age, which led to reduced food production and widespread famine, cannot be ignored.

The Sui Dynasty caught up with a good season, as Mr. Zhu Kezhen pointed out in "A Preliminary Study on Climate Change in China in the Past 5000 Years", starting from the Eastern Han Dynasty, after experiencing a cold period that lasted for nearly 600 years, the temperature gradually rose from the end of the Northern Wei Dynasty .

Now it has finally entered the warm period.

Although the peak of the warm period this time will have to wait until the Tang Dynasty, for example, during the reign of Tang Gaozong, Chang'an had no ice and snow in winter for three years.

But the current climate is warmer than that when the Bohai Sea was frozen and the Yangtze River could freeze during the Southern and Northern Dynasties.

The Sui Dynasty benefited from this, and through Yang Jian's efforts to govern, the national strength grew day by day.

Goguryeo, the country of thousands of miles in the northeast, is also a beneficiary of climate warming.

Cui Che made many inquiries and also verified the textual research of Mr. Geng Tiehua in "The History of Goguryeo in China" and Mr. Yang Xiuzu in "Research on the History of Goguryeo Wars":

Goguryeo is fully capable of exploding 60 soldiers.

If it weren't for this national power, how would Goguryeo dare to covet Liaoxi.

Of course, the Sui Dynasty only used 52 troops to destroy Chen, which does not mean that the Sui Dynasty, which originally occupied the north and Shu, had only so many troops, and some troops had to be left to guard the rear.

The reason why Cui Che cared about Goguryeo was because he was worried that he would occupy Hebei, Qingzhou and other places in the future, and go south to fight for the world, and the Goguryeo people would stab him in the back.

Although it is too early to think about these things, people who have no foresight must have near-term worries. Knowing more about Goguryeo will never be wrong.

The next day, Daxing sent an urgent report that there was a hidden movement in the West Turks, and they wanted to offend Lanzhou (Zhizicheng County, now Lanzhou, Gansu).

When Shabolue Khan, the Great Turkic Khan, took pictures, the current Western Turks and the Western Turks had a close relationship with the Sui Dynasty. Changsun Sheng went on missions many times and took the opportunity to develop a lot of insiders.

Although it is not as one-way transparent as the British intelligence agency was to the Soviet Union during the Cold War, it can always send news to Daxing in a timely manner.

Immediately, Yang Jian summoned close ministers in the Jin Palace, such as Su Wei, Nayan Yang Su, Niu Hong, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Cui Che, Minister of the Ministry of War, He Ruobi, Han Qinhu and others all attended the meeting.

"The Turks invaded the border, and the ministers thought, who can be appointed as a general?"

As soon as Yang Jian finished speaking, He Ruobi recommended himself:

"My minister is willing to lead an army, stop the enemy from outside, and share the worries for His Majesty!"

Yang Jian was silent, he never thought of letting He Ruobi lead the army from the beginning to the end.

It is true that He Ruobi was a general, but he relied on his high merits and acted arrogantly, even often pretending to be a prime minister. If he made him make outstanding achievements, wouldn't he call himself the emperor.

Unlike my good son-in-law Cui Che, who always maintains a modest and prudent attitude, such a person is the pillar of the country.

Moreover, He Ruobi was friendly with Gao Jiong who stayed behind in Daxing, if he led the army into the customs, he would always feel a little worried.

Before Yang Jian could figure out his excuse, another general, Han Qinhu, came out and competed with He Ruobi to be the leading general.

Yang Jian looked at Yang Su and Cui Che again, the so-called five famous generals, only Shi Wansui was not high enough to attend the meeting.

He Ruobi and Han Qinhu have a bad relationship, just like enemies.

Obviously neither Yang Su nor Cui Che wanted to participate in this fight.

What's more, leading the army westward this time is actually just to guard against the Turks. If the Turks don't go south, it will be futile.

He Ruobi and Han Qinhu couldn't stop arguing, Yang Jian shouted:
"enough!"

The two were quiet.

Yang Jian then asked everyone's opinions one by one, and asked them who would be the general.

Su Wei and Niu Hongtui said that they were civil servants, ignorant of military affairs, and dared not make unreasonable comments, but asked Yang Jian's Sacred Heart to be a dictator.

Yang Jian asked Yang Su again, Yang Su used to figure out what he wanted, when He Ruobi introduced himself before, he clearly saw Yang Jian's brow wrinkled almost imperceptibly.

Asking everyone's opinions, he just didn't want to make He Ruobi resentful by making a choice between He Ruobi and Han Qinhu. After all, the relationship between the two is here.

He had to be persuaded by others before finally abandoning He Ruobi and choosing Han Qinhu.

Wanting to understand this, Yang Sujin said:
"Earlier, Duke Shouguang was not added to the title because of his crimes. The minister thought it would be better to make Duke Shouguang a general. If he made meritorious service, he could also be rewarded with an official title, which would better demonstrate His Majesty's generosity to the people of the world."
