On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 28
Cui Che and Pei Xiu met Yang Xuangan and Dou Wei at the gate of the city. Dou Wei had been lying in bed for three days, and the injury on his buttocks had already healed, and no slave really dared to be cruel to the little master.

On the way here, Dou Wei comforted Yang Xuangan a lot, obviously he also knew that his cousin set a threshold for recruiting relatives, which made his classmates and friends suffer a lot.

And Cui Che greeted him with a smile, which also made Dou Wei wonder if the other party was forcing a smile.

"Ah Che, don't be discouraged. My cousin even praised you during the family dinner. He said that you are smart and decent. If one day you know how to restrain your edge, you will become a great weapon in the world."

Dou Wei imitated the tone of his cousin Dou Yi, the comments at the family banquet should not be used outside, but he was really worried that his friend would be depressed, and it was not a derogatory word, so he spoke encouragingly.

It's just that Cui Che was relieved a long time ago. He has realized that instead of growing up with the daughter of the Dou family, it's better to lie in the arms of the sister of the Mu family and say something from his heart.

"Wen Wei doesn't need to worry about me. He only agreed to come down at Xuangan's invitation that day. Che is only six years old, and he is dedicated to learning, so how could he be distracted by men and women."

Seeing that his expression did not seem to be fake, Dou Wei was finally relieved.

The four went to the academy together, talking and laughing along the way, but Cui Che was always thinking about Dou Yi's comments on him.

If it doesn't come true, you should restrain your edge.

Before Cui Che crossed over, he was just an ordinary college student majoring in liberal arts. He hadn't been severely beaten by the society, so he couldn't help but think about many things.

And Dou Yi's official career has been ups and downs for more than forty years, and his comments have also aroused Cui Che's reflection. All his actions before were all for the sake of fame, but whether he acted too hastily.

Maybe it's time to slow down, concentrate on learning, and enrich yourself, otherwise the reputation will increase, but the real talent and learning will not be able to keep up.

After Cui Che reflected seriously, he heard Dou Wei talk about the princes of the state who failed to propose marriage the day before yesterday. When he talked about the second son of Sui Guogong, Cui Che really didn't realize for a while whether Pu Liuruying was who.

But after thinking about it, he remembered that Yang Guang's real name was Yang Ying, and Cui Che couldn't help laughing. It turned out that Yang Guang, who was two years older than himself, also suffered in the Dou Mansion.

After returning to the academy, paying homage to the teacher, everyone returned to their daily life of study, and Cui Che was instructed by Dou Yi, and he lost many other thoughts. He really kept his ears shut and read only Book of sages.

Even though he was the youngest and the latest to enroll in the academy, his homework quickly caught up with the senior brothers, which surprised Mr. Xu Wenyuan, but he didn't praise him, just worried that the young man would be proud and complacent.

When Cui Che and others were studying at Weishui Academy, the outside world was not peaceful.

In the battle between the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Southern Chen Dynasty for Huaibei, at first, General Wu Mingche of the Southern Chen Dynasty defeated Liang Shiyan, the general manager of Xuzhou in the Northern Zhou Dynasty several times, and surrounded Pengcheng (Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province).

This is also the reason why Yang Jian was quickly transferred from Dingzhou, Hebei to Bozhou, Huaibei, and Yang Su also followed the Duke of Tan to Huaibei to stabilize the situation.

During this period, Yang Su was able to make friends with Yang Jian.

However, the dispute between the court and China over the abolition of the crown prince has never ceased. Although Yu Wenyong was dissatisfied with the crown prince, he never took any action.

I know my own body best. Although Yu Wenyong is only 35 years old, he has been in poor health. In the fourth year of Jiande, he sent 18 troops to attack Qi and conquered more than [-] cities one after another, but he had to return to the court due to illness. .

When the second son is not good, the other sons are young, and his health is poor, how dare Yu Wenyong abandon the prince.

At the beginning, his cousin Yu Wenhu was regent, and Wei Fu became self-defeating. He abandoned and killed Yu Wenyong's two elder brothers one after another, which left a lot of shadows on Yu Wenyong when he was young.

He didn't want to abolish the elder and establish the younger, and leave the younger son with a powerful minister to assist him.

So the discussion of waste storage was shelved like this.

At the same time, Gao Shaoyi, who led [-] riders to defect to the Turks, became the Northern Qi emperor with the support of Tuobo Khan.

Turkic actions like this undoubtedly offended Yu Wenyong's Nilin. This hero who had just unified the north and looked at the world with tigers also had the idea of ​​​​a northern expedition to Turkic.

The forbearance he faced with Empress Ashina at the beginning was just to show his ambitions. Now that the Northern Qi Dynasty is dead, there is no need to fight with the Turks, and there is no action yet.

At the end of February in the seventh year of Jiande (578 A.D.), the Battle of Huaibei finally came to an end. Wang Gui and Yang Su rushed to Pengcheng to rescue and block Chen Jun's retreat. It happened that Wu Mingche suffered from back disease, which made him unable to move and even more difficult to command.

So Xiao Mahe was asked to lead the cavalry army to break through, and the people around Wu Mingche collapsed immediately, and he was also desperate, and was captured by the Zhou army.

The battle ended with North Zhou taking the land of Huaibei, and more than [-] soldiers of the Chen army were captured one after another.

Yu Wenyong was overjoyed when he heard the news, and even made Wu Mingche the Duke of Huaide County, and the official worshiped the general, but Wu Mingche was always depressed because he had his homeland in his heart.

And for the heroes of this battle, they did not hesitate to reward them. The main general Wang Gui was promoted to the Zhu Kingdom, and he worshiped the general manager of Xuzhou, the governor of seven prefectures and fifteen towns and other military forces.

Yang Su was also granted the title of governor of East Chuzhou (Suqian, Jiangsu), and his younger brother Yang Shen was named Yi'anhou.

The end of the Huaibei War also enabled Yu Wenyong to finally put his idea of ​​the Northern Expedition to the Turks into practice.

In early March, Zhou Lord Yu Wenyong issued an edict to release slaves and maidservants. The so-called release of slaves and maidservants has nothing to do with Zhao Wen, Zhang Wu, Miaorong and others, but refers specifically to the Northern Zhou Dynasty. During the confrontation between the Northern Qi Dynasty and the Jiangnan regimes Nanliang and Nanchen, all the people who were captured as slaves by the two sides were released as benefactors.

On March 25, Yu Wenyong issued an edict to change the Yuan Dynasty, and took the sixth year of Jiande as the first year of Xuanzheng.

On April 578, the first year of Xuanzheng (23 A.D.), the Turks invaded Youzhou and killed scholars and people.

The two parties who were once close had long since perished in the Northern Qi Dynasty, and the relationship broke down. Yu Wenyong had long intended to find trouble with the Turkic people.

Now that the war in Huaibei has subsided, Nanchen was unable to go north in a short period of time, and he heard that the Turks were killing and plundering the border people, so Yu Wenyong personally led the army on May 23, divided into five groups, and crusaded against the Turks.

Among them, the most embarrassing is the Queen of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the Turkic Princess, Ashina.

Of course, who cares about a woman's embarrassing situation when it comes to military affairs?

However, just like three years ago, Yu Wenyong fell ill on the way to the Qi State. This Northern Expedition was only four days away from Beijing. On May 27, Yu Wenyong fell ill again on the way.

On May [-]th, Yuwenyong felt that his fate was not long, so he issued an edict to stop all military operations, and called Yuwen Xiaobo, who had grown up with him from Chang'an, to hold his hand and entrust the funeral.

On the first day of June, Yu Wenyong's condition worsened. That night, a generation of heroes died on the way back to Chang'an at the age of 36.
