On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 286
The Khitan that the Northern Song Dynasty faced was a behemoth that controlled the Xi clan and invaded the sixteen prefectures of Youyun.

But now is not the time for them to disturb the situation. In this historical drama where you sing and I appear, the Khitan can only beat the side drums.

Even the Kumo Xi people have already joined the tribal alliance and have a common Xi Wang.

Khitan is still in the tribal stage, and there is no clear co-owner among them.

At first, the Khitan tribes were attached to the Northern Qi, Turks, and Goguryeo respectively.

After the fall of the Northern Qi Dynasty, the Khitan tribes that used to be attached to the Northern Qi Dynasty surrendered to the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Great Sui Dynasty one after another.

With the split of the Turkic Khanate, endless civil wars and no time to look eastward, the Khitan tribe, which originally belonged to the Turks, wanted to switch to the Sui Dynasty.

However, Yang Jian at that time was busy planning to conquer Chen and unify the world. Facing the support of these Khitan tribes, he rejected Prince Tuyuhun as before, and also rejected them.

These people can only turn their heads and rush to the embrace of Goguryeo.

Among the eight Khitan tribes, Adahe, Yu Yuling, Xiwandan, Chufu, and Rilian followed Goguryeo to invade Western Liaoning this time.

Cui Che and Ahui Lusu divided up the interests in Khitan, so naturally they would not plunder the three Khitan tribes that were attached to the Sui Dynasty.

The two had already agreed before dispatching troops that A Dahe, Yu Yuling, and Xiwandan belonged to Cui Che.

Chufu and Rilian were looted by Ahui Lusu.

In the 16th year of Kaihuang (AD 596), in late April, Cui Che and Ahui Lusu crossed the Laoha River and plundered the Khitan wantonly. During the period, they raped and robbed the Khitan people for their crimes in western Liaoning, ten times or even a hundred times. .

After wiping out the Adahe tribe and Yu Yuling tribe successively, it is known that the Wandan tribe has already received the news, migrated eastward, and fled.

The stone house Gacha, located in Balin Zuoqi, Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia, is the nomadic place of Yu Yuling.

It's just that the turquoise grass has long been stained red with blood, and there are corpses everywhere. Yu Yuling's tribe has experienced what happened to Adahe's tribe before.

There are young and strong people, and some are old and weak, but there are no women.

Cui Che was very angry about what happened in Ah Da He Department before.

He can understand that the soldiers are highly nervous when they go out to fight, and they need a window to vent.

What made Cui Che angry was not the atrocities of his subordinates, but that they violated his own military order.

Those Khitan old and weak are all burdens, if they are killed, they will be killed. As for the Khitan women, Cui Che will not care about their chastity, let alone their life and death after the war.

But Cui Che couldn't tolerate someone violating his military order.

He has long made repeated orders that women are spoils of war and will be distributed after the war.

Humans have biological needs, which is understandable.

It's not a problem if you want to try something new, but you can't ignore his military orders and kill people after venting your animal desires.

The people are already dead, so how can they be divided up after the war? Could it be that they take a corpse back.

In Cui Che's view, this was clearly an open challenge to his majesty.

So, on the day when Ah Da He's tribe was captured, Cui Che beheaded hundreds of people in the name of violating military orders.

This is why after the Yuling Yu tribe was conquered, the soldiers only waved their butcher knives at the young and the old and the weak.

Of course, being alive may not be lucky for the women of Yu Yuling tribe who have experienced the loss of their father, husband, or son.

But in a barbaric and uncivilized era, wars between alien races are so inhumane.

Cui Che believed that although these cavalry soldiers were not considered human beings outside the Great Wall, at least when they were in the country, they did not do much to disturb the people.

He couldn't ask for more.

After all, in the feudal history of more than 2000 years, there are many examples of brutality and brutality imposed on the people of the same clan.

Under the darkness of night, in the place where Yu Yuling's troops were stationed, in the camp where women were concentrated in custody, the sound of crying continued throughout the night.

The handsome tent not far away had already turned off the lights.

Cui Che stood in the darkness.

Zhang Lihua, who was disguised as a man, took off his belt for him, and squatted in front of Cui Che.

Cui Che skillfully pressed the back of her head with his right hand, closed his eyes, and held his head high.

The next day, in the early morning, Zhang Lihua once again pretended to be a soldier who took care of Cui Che's daily life.

Cui Che was promoted to gather generals, while Zhang Lihua avoided behind the screen as usual.

When going out for an expedition, it is obviously a trivial matter to bring an extra screen.

Fang Xuanling, Li Jing, Mai Tiezhang and other close friends gathered together, Cui Che asked:

"Now that the Wandan tribe has fled far away, the news of the Adahe tribe's collapse should have already been known to the Khitan people in Yingzhou.

"I've called you today to discuss whether we should pursue Siwandan's troops or ambush the returning Khitan army."

Fang Xuanling took the lead and said:

"Reporting to Duke Ming, the officials thought that it would take a long time to track down Wan Dan's tribe. Once the Turks learned that Youzhou was empty, they would definitely send troops to attack. If it was too late to return to help, Youzhou would be in great trouble.

"Besides, Xi Wandan's tribe withdrew to Liaodong to seek the protection of Goguryeo. Ming Gong's enemy was not Goguryeo, but the Turks.

"Duke Ming should divide his troops to ambush Khitan, and the main force should return to Youzhou as soon as possible."

Li Jing echoed:
"The return of the main force to the west can also confuse the Khitan people and make them relax their vigilance on the way home."

All the generals agreed.

Cui Che nodded when he heard that, he was also worried that the Turkic people would come back after he left and take the opportunity to plunder Youzhou.

If this kind of thing really happened, not only would it be difficult to explain to the court, but he would also lose the hearts of Youzhou.

Cui Che glanced over the generals, and said to Mai Tiezhang:
"General Mai, I will assign you five thousand cavalry, and you can choose a place to set up an ambush. If you can't do something, you can't be powerful, and you should be a quick squadron."

Mai Tiezhang's face was full of undisguised joy, he stepped forward and responded:
"promise!"

After finalizing the marching route with the generals, Cui Che retreated everyone, leaving only Mai Tiezhang and Li Jing.

He told Mai Tiezhang:
"This is your first time commanding an army. I will send a pharmacist to accompany you as a staff officer. You must humbly ask him for advice and listen to his opinions. Remember not to act arbitrarily."

Mai Tiezhang said seriously:

"The last general takes orders!"

In fact, Mai Tiezhang knew in his heart that if Li Jing was not still in his filial piety and could not take up the position, maybe Cui Che would directly let Li Jing lead the army instead of himself who had never truly led an army independently before.

But Mai Tiezhang was still very happy. Cui Che did not choose people like Liu Fang, Zhang Wu, and Wang Dangwan, which proved his position in his heart.

In fact, Liu Fang is the most suitable candidate, but Cui Che chose Mai Tiezhang to exercise his ability. With Li Jing assisting him, Cui Che can rest assured.

After Mai Tiezhang left, Cui Che wanted to say to Li Jing:
"Pharmacist, I won't say more if it's superfluous. After the division of troops, the five thousand cavalry will have to worry about you."

Li Jing cupped his hands and said:

"Li Jing will never disappoint Duke Ming's entrustment."
