On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 220 Arrangements for crossing the river
Everyone's eyes were on Cui Che, and Yang Guang didn't need to remind him deliberately. Everyone knew that he was the real commander of the three armies in this counter-insurgency.

Cui Che was not in a hurry to issue military orders for the ministries, he warned:

"This is a tough fight, and you all have to be mentally prepared."

Except for Cui Che's cronies such as Zhang Wu, Mai Tiezhang, Li Jing and others, all the generals under the tent did not take it seriously.

In the battle against Chen two years ago, everyone in the south of the Yangtze River had experienced the fighting power of the army, and they were vulnerable to a single blow.

Today's rebel army, despite their large number, is even weaker because there are a large number of farmers among them.

fierce battle?What a joke!
But Cui Che was not joking, he said solemnly:
"After crossing the river, no prisoners will be taken, unless they surrender before the battle, they will all be executed!"

Everyone's expression changed, even Yang Guang was surprised.

Li Jing hastily advised:
"Duke Yan, if we don't accept the prisoners, the rebel army will definitely fight to the death. Even if our army wins, there will be heavy casualties. Besides, it is ominous to kill the prisoners. Please think again, Lord Yan!"

All the generals agreed one after another.

As a military judge, Li Jing is also qualified to attend the deliberations.

Cui Che knew that Li Jing was thinking of himself, and he was also aware of the disadvantages of doing so, but he couldn't explain the reason to everyone.

The sage who loved the people like a son called him into Miyagi and ordered this matter in private, didn't he just want to get rid of himself.

Facing the dissuasion of the generals, Cui Che remained unmoved, and said with a cold face:

"I have made up my mind, there is no need to discuss this matter again!"

Li Jing saw Cui Che's self-willed appearance, he was completely different from usual, suddenly remembered that he had been summoned by Yang Jian on the day of departure, and he was afraid that the problem might lie in that.

Li Jing was not the only one who thought of this point, there must be a demon when things go wrong, and Yang Guang also thought of his father at the same time.

Except for Yang Jian, no one in this world can force Cui Che to cover up his sins even if he bears them.

Seeing that Yang Guang remained silent, Cui Hongdu, Shi Wansui and others had no choice but to surrender.

But unexpectedly, Cui Che said again:
"The enemy has the will to die, and our army should also be strictly disciplined. After crossing the river, there will be no retreat. If you don't respect orders between the two battles, those who take the lead and then retreat will die on their own initiative!"

As soon as these words came out, there was a buzz of discussion in the tent, Cui Che stood up and said sharply:
"If you want to break the law with your body, just give it a try and see if I, Cui Che, can kill someone!"

After finishing speaking, Cui Che drew out the sword at his waist and cut off a corner of the long case.

The extremely aggressive eyes swept across the generals under the tent, and everyone was in awe, even the thorny heads like Cui Hongdu and Shi Wansui kept their mouths shut.

Cui Che then withdrew his saber, gave him a slap, and had to give sweet dates, Cui Che calmed down, and said calmly:

"Everyone, please tell the people that if you enter, you will be rewarded generously, and if you retreat, you will die. Including the wives and daughters of the rebels, all those who should be captured will be rewarded by the three armies after the war!"

Having said all of this, no matter how stupid he is, it is clear that Cui Che is only following orders.

When Cui Che plundered beyond the Great Wall in the past, he often assigned women and children by himself, but they were all Turks.

But this time to suppress the rebellion, the rebels' wives and daughters were all from the Sui Dynasty. Without Yang Jian's instruction, how could Cui Che dare to make up his own mind and distribute them to the soldiers of the three armies.

After making the generals prepare for the fierce battle in advance, and clarifying the policy of not keeping prisoners of war, Cui Che called out:
"Come nurse!"

"The end is here!"

On the surface, he is He Ruobi's favorite general, but in fact he has already defected to Yang Guang's Lai Huer in secret.

Cui Che ordered:
"Tomorrow Yinshi (three o'clock in the morning), I will give you seven five-toothed warships. You will lead 5000 people to cross the night in Yangzijin (now south of Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province). After crossing the river, you must not act rashly. The follow-up army will cross the river."

Lai Nuer was startled when he heard the words. He remembered that Yangzhou did not have a five-toothed warship that could hold [-] soldiers, but Cui Che ordered him to board the warship at Yangzijin at Yinshi. As for where the warship came from? Come, it should be Cui Che's worry.

There are no worthless men under a great reputation, and Cui Che must have real talents and real learning to be ranked among the five famous generals.

"The end will obey orders!"

Lai Nuer led the way.

Cui Che called again:
"Long live Shi!"

Shi Wansui was 43 years old at the time, and he and Cui Che were both famous generals in the world.

Although he was unwilling to take orders from this junior, he didn't dare to let Cui Che try the sword on himself, so he could only respond:
"The end is here!"

"Leading you to lead [-] soldiers, take the five-toothed warship in two batches, and after coming to protect the children across the river, go south to support. The two of you must work together to gain a firm foothold on the south bank!"

"The last general takes orders!"

Cui Che doesn't care whether Shi Wansui is convinced of him, nor has he thought about having a close relationship with him, as long as he faithfully implements his military orders, the two can live in harmony, but if he dares to obey others, he doesn't mind being cruel.

The so-called five famous generals had too many people, making this title not very valuable.

Seeing that Shi Wansui did not refute his command, Cui Che nodded slightly, and shouted again:

"Cui Hongdu!"

When Cui Hongdu heard Cui Che calling him, he was overjoyed: Although there was a conflict between us, Cui Che was still toward me, and he didn't know what important task he would entrust me with.

Thinking in this way, Cui Hongdu stepped out and responded:
"The end is here!"

But Cui Che ordered:
"Lead [-] troops from the Jiangling Mansion, go down the Yangtze River for [-] miles, build a pontoon bridge, make noise, and make sure to attract the attention of the rebels!"

Cui Hongdu was greatly disappointed. It turned out that he had let himself be the task of luring the enemy.

Seeing that he hadn't responded for a long time, Cui Che's expression darkened, and he even put his hand on the hilt of his sword.

Cui Hongdu no longer felt disappointed, and hurriedly responded:

"The last general takes orders."

Only then did Cui Che nod his head, and moved his hand away from the hilt of his sword.

Seeing this, Cui Hongdu also heaved a sigh of relief, if he had agreed a little slower just now, I'm afraid Cui Che would really have drawn his sword on the spot.

Cui Che arranged the order for the rest of the ministries to cross the river, and then dismissed everyone.

Yang Guang was not in a hurry to leave, he asked Lai Huer's previous doubts: Yangzhou did not have a five-tooth warship.

Cui Che didn't hide it from him. Long before the armies assembled one after another, he had conscripted seven five-fanged warships for crossing the river, ensuring that the seven five-fanged warships in the upper reaches would be able to It can go straight down the river and reach the Yangtze River.

After coming to Yangzhou for nearly half a month, Cui Che is not idle.

Of course, he also wants to mobilize a few more ships, preferably with an army of [-], but he can only squeeze out such seven ships. After all, the upstream has to prevent the rebels from crossing the river.

At the same time, after Cui Hongdu left the command tent, he immediately led the soldiers of the Jiangling Mansion under his command to go straight down the river. There was indeed a place thirty miles away that was suitable for erecting a pontoon bridge. Naturally, Cui Che went out of the city to investigate the hydrology of Jiangbei during his stay in Yangzhou.

　Tomorrow there will be four chapters plus one extra chapter of the old book.
