On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 223 Gathering Soldiers in Wuxi
Mai Tiezhang was in the midst of the women, and his eyes were almost dazzled.

Seeing more and more meritorious people step into it.

Mai Tiezhang did not continue to choose carefully, and finally brought two young women to the desk of the clerk and asked him to register their names and places of origin.

Listening to the two women's self-report as Zhu Mowen's concubine, Mai Tiezhang thought:
'Ah!This old boy has a good eye. '

This time the distribution of battle results is different from the past, only distributed to the meritorious soldiers who participated in the battle of Jingkou, namely Boling cavalry, Cui Che's five thousand knights, Lai Huer, Shi Wansui, and Cui Hongdu's troops.

As for the pawns thrown to Yang Guang by Cui Che, they could only watch.

But even so, they were busy until late at night, and the scribe who registered the ownership couldn't even lift a pen.

Everyone watched the convicts and supplies being sent to Jiangbei. It was not until the drums on the high platform sounded again that they drew their attention back to the high platform.

Cui Che smiled and said:

"How does it feel to carve up the wives and daughters of the rebels?"

The [-] troops laughed heartily when they heard his voice.

"Extreme joy!"

"Thank you Lord Yan for the reward!"

But Cui Che suddenly restrained his smile and asked:

"What would it feel like to be divided up between wives and daughters?"

All the soldiers were stunned, they looked at each other, but none of them knew what Cui Che meant.

"Before crossing the river, I once said that those who do not obey the military order and retreat without reason will be executed. I will add another sentence today."

As Cui Che said, pointing at the family members of the rebels boarding the ship one after another, he shouted:

"Wives and daughters will also be regarded as relatives of crimes, just like them, as spoils of war, rewarding those who have made meritorious deeds!"

When everyone heard it, they were all in awe.

As the saying goes, one thought of heaven and one thought of hell.

If you fight the enemy bravely, you can get a big reward and carve up other people's wives and daughters.

If one disobeys military orders and fears the enemy and does not advance, then his wife and daughter will be raped and humiliated by others, and he himself will be subject to military law and die.

There is no need for Cui Che to teach how to choose.

At the ferry, the mother and daughter were separated, and the cries of the separated sisters echoed in the night sky, which lasted for a long time.

At the same time, as the defeated soldiers fled in all directions in the First Battle of Jingkou, Shen Xuanzhang from Wu County, Gu Shixing from Jinling, Ye Lue from Wuxi, Lu Mengsun from Changshu, and others also gradually learned the news that the Sui army refused to surrender.

They didn't block the news, so that the people in the tribe were panicked, but they quickly gathered soldiers and encouraged them to fight to the death.

Outside the city of Wu County, Suzhou Emperor Shen Xuanzang encouraged morale:
"The northern captives want to drive us all to extinction and beg for surrender without a doubt. Only by fighting to the death can we have a chance!"

The soldiers under his command shouted:

"Strike to the death with the northern captives!"

"Expel the northern captives and defend our homeland!"

The shouts awakened Huangfuji, the governor of Suzhou at the head of the city.

"But there is a rebellion in the city!"

Huangfuji said in horror.

After sticking to Wu County for more than two months, Huangfu Ji's spirit was already highly tense.

During this period of time, he lived and ate on the city tower, encouraged the soldiers, and even went into battle to kill the enemy himself, finally defending Wu County.

What Huangfuji is most worried about now is that there will be a rebellion in the city, and someone will steal the city gate to welcome the rebels into the city.

After all, this is not the north, but Jiangnan.

The confidant hurriedly comforted:
"It's just the rebels outside the city making noise, not the chaos in the city."

Huangfu Ji heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words. He stood up while leaning on the city wall, and listened carefully to the cries of the rebels outside the city. He seemed to have heard Cui Che's name.

"Could it be that reinforcements are coming!"

Huangfu Ji said happily.

Of course he had heard of Cui Che's name, although Huangfu Ji was now sent to Suzhou as the governor, far away from the court, but in the early years, he was also a man of influence in the court.

Yang Jian came to power, apart from Zheng Yi and Liu Fang, Huang Fuji, who was trusted by Yu Wenyun at that time, was also an important promoter. He was Yu Wenyun's attendant when he was in the East Palace.

His mother, Wei Changying, was the eldest daughter of Wei Xiaokuan. Huangfu Ji lost his father and then his mother when he was young. He became an orphan at the age of three and was adopted by his grandfather Wei Xiaokuan since childhood.

As for Cui Che's name, when Huangfu Ji was serving Wei Xiaokuan's decoction, he often heard him mention it. At that time, he thought it was a compliment, but thinking about it now, he can only feel his grandfather's knowledge of people.

Hearing the news of the reinforcements, the defenders of Wu County were very excited, and the rebels outside the city also postponed their offensive.

Shen Xuanzhen knew that the soldiers under his command were not as brave as the Sui army, and they were scattered all over the place, so they could easily be defeated by Cui Che one by one.

He left Gu Ziyuan, a native of Suzhou, to lead the army to continue to besiege Wu County, while he himself led the army to the north, hoping to gather his troops and look for opportunities for combat.

When Shen Xuanzhang had just left Wu County, Jinling guard Gu Shixing retreated to Wuxi in disgrace.

Ye Lue, the guard of Wuxi, welcomed him into the city. Without outsiders, Ye Lue said doubtfully:

"Brother Gu has tens of thousands of soldiers, why did Jinling fall so easily!"

Gu Shixing sighed:

"More than 3000 people from the Sui army challenged under the city. I sent the governor Bao Qian to lead [-] troops to fight with them. Bao Qian was defeated, and less than [-] people fled back to Jinling.

"The captured soldiers were escorted outside the city by Cui Che, beheaded in public, and told that only by voluntarily offering the city can they survive.

"I saw that the people in Jinling City were in chaos and the city could not be defended, so I brought all the people to abandon the city and come to join Brother Ye."

Ye slightly turned pale when he heard the words:

"The Sui army refused to accept the surrender and committed the taboo of military strategists, which made our army have the ambition to die. But why did Bao Qian lose so easily?"

Gu Shixing sighed heavily and said:

"I don't know what kind of tricks Cui Che used, the soldiers of the Sui army were not afraid of death, and they never retreated.

"Then Bao Qian is also an idiot! I have always boasted about my martial arts skills before, but as soon as I fought, I was cut off by a general with double pupils, causing the army to be defeated!"

Hearing that he was a general with double pupils, Ye Lue felt that Gu Shixing's defeat was a matter of course.

The ancients were superstitious, thinking that a person with double pupils must be extraordinary, and Bao Qian was beheaded by a general with double pupils, which made sense.

Just when Ye Lue was comforting Gu Shixing, a messenger came from outside the city to report that Shen Xuanzhang, the son of Caotou, was about to arrive in Wuxi on his own expedition.

Changshu defender Lu Mengsun also led his troops.

That night, Shen Xuanzhang and Lu Mengsun arrived one after another, and nearly [-] troops gathered in Wuxi City.

Shen Xuanzhang analyzed for everyone:

"Cui Che was ordered to go south, and with Yang Jian's urging, he must be eager to fight our army decisively.

"Our army should stick to the city and wait for the opportunity.

"If Cui Che can't attack for a long time, he will be impeached. When we change generals, it will be the time for us to fight the Sui army!"

Shen Xuanzhang was born in a noble family in Suzhou, so he has some understanding of the current situation in the court.

When everyone heard the words, they all took it for granted.

I also made up my mind to stick to Wuxi and wait for a fighter.

At the same time, Shen Xuanzhang sent envoys to the other two Caotou emperors, Wang Wenjin of Wuzhou and Gao Zhihui of Yuezhou, for help.

For the sake of the fellow rebels, give me a hand.

At the same time, in the city of Jinling, the Sui army bought a large amount of wine to celebrate their achievements.

Cui Che poured the wine himself, smiled at Yu Juluo and said:
"In today's battle, General Yu should take the lead. Please drink this cup to the full. After returning to the court, Cui will definitely perform for the general in front of the imperial court!"
