On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 295
Yang Jian also had his own considerations for taking Gao Jiong as the marshal's long history.

First of all, Yang Jian attached great importance to this battle.

Among Cui Che, Gao Jiong, Yang Su, and Yu Qingze, only two had the experience of commanding an army of more than [-] troops. Only Gao Jiong, the leader of the war against Chen, and Cui Che, who quelled the chaos of the Five Religions.

And Cui Che has just made meritorious service from outside the Great Wall, so it is naturally not suitable to use him as the main general to attack Goguryeo.

Yang Jian knew that Cui Che had a high prestige among the soldiers in Youzhou, and for the sake of his family, he could still tolerate it.

But it is impossible to give him a chance to continue to build up his personal prestige among the 30 Hebei and Hedong soldiers recruited this time.

At the same time, as Cui Che said, soldiers from Youzhou went to Mobei to work on an expedition. Before they had time to recuperate, they were recruited to fight again. Although they were used as backup, they were also worried that there would be troubles, and someone had to be in charge. Cui Che then Is the best choice.

After the war with Goguryeo was decided, Cui Che saw that Yang Jian had no intention of discussing the counter-insurgency in the south for the time being, so he said:
"Report to Your Majesty, there are still [-] Turkic captives in Hengzhou, please let your Majesty know how to deal with them."

Yang Jian thought for a while and asked:

"What does the son-in-law think?"

Cui Che said frankly:
"At the time of class teacher, Du Su Liu repeatedly sought out the humble officials, hoping to control the subordinates.

"I thought he could resolutely defect to Tai Sui when Dulan Khan rebelled, which shows that this man is loyal.

"Your Majesty will hand over all the tribes that have betrayed Dulan Khan to the jurisdiction of Tuli Khan, so why don't you allocate the Turkic soldiers to Du Suliu and buy a Khitan woman from Youzhou as a marriage.

"Use Dusu Liu as Ye Huo, and check and balance with Tuli, lest the Tuli family dominate and follow in the footsteps of Dulan Khan."

Yang Jian said with satisfaction:
"The son-in-law's words are very kind, and they fit my heart deeply."

As he spoke, he looked at Yang Su, Gao Jiong, and Yu Qingze, and asked:
"What do the three lovers think?"

Gao Jiong and the other three thought: You have said that, how else can I answer.

"My minister agrees!"

The three said in unison.

Yang Jian then sent someone to summon Du Suliu, who had been waiting outside the palace city, and named him Ye Hu, commanding [-] Turkic soldiers, rewarding him with gold and silver, buying Khitan women in Youzhou, and forming a tribe.

Du Suliu kowtowed excitedly and thanked him again and again, only to hear a bang bang.

He raised his head and looked at Cui Che with a hint of gratitude in his eyes.

After Du Suliu resigned, Cui Che, Yang Su, Gao Jiong, and Yu Qingze did not stay long, and all resigned.

When the four of them stepped out of the Daxing Palace, it was as if they were clearly separated. Cui Che and Yang Su walked together, while Gao Jiong and Yu Qing walked together.

Gao Jiong and Yu Qing were naturally beaming. This time leading an army of 30 to attack Goguryeo, it undoubtedly proved that Gao Jiong was still trusted by Yang Jian, and it could also inspire the hearts of the princes.

Cui Che originally wanted to comfort Yang Su, but Yang Su's dedication to doing things was stronger than his.

In fact, Yang Su also thought that in the battle against Goguryeo, the actual leader must fall on himself.

After all, the relationship between Yang Jian and Gao Jiong has become more and more estranged in recent years. When Cui Che is not suitable to be the main general, who else is more suitable than him.

The result disappointed him greatly.

But Yang Su was deep in his mind, and didn't show this disappointment. He saw that Cui Che was hesitating to speak, and wanted to comfort himself, so he smiled back and said:
"The major affairs of the country are the sacrificial offerings and the army, and the selection of leading soldiers. The saints have their own calculations. We, as ministers, just bow our heads and obey orders. How can we feel resentful because of this.

"Furthermore, Prime Minister Gao was previously the chief general of the attack on Chen. He commanded an army of 50 in an orderly manner. His abilities are well known. It is reasonable for a saint to choose Prime Minister Gao as his general."

Leaving Miyagi, Cui Che said goodbye to Yang Su at Guangyang Gate. Of course Cui Che wanted to go home, and Yang Su had to go to Shangshu Province to be on duty.

Under the protection of his followers, Cui Che led his horse back to the Yan State Mansion. Yang Lihua had already led Cui Qiji, Cui Yanzong, and Cui Yanqing to wait outside the mansion.

"My son pays homage to grandpa, and congratulates grandpa on his triumphant return."

Looking at the three sons prostrated on the ground, Cui Che nodded and said:

"Get up."

Only then did the three brothers stand up. Cui Qiji was 14 years old at the time and looked like his father.

The second son, Cui Yanzong, was still the same as when he was born, with bald eyebrows.

The third son Cui Yanqing is more inclined to his mother Yang Lihua in terms of facial features.

Cui Che nonchalantly threw the letter of seal to Cui Yanqing, stroked Cui Yanzong's head, and said with a smile:

"My father will also earn an official title for you in the future."

Cui Yanzong nodded obediently. Although he is young, he can still distinguish the difference between his son and his son. This is the way of the world. If there is any good thing, you have to stick to your son first.

What's more, the aunt is still the princess of the court, how could she surpass the third brother and confer an official title on herself.

Cui Che took Cui Zhaorong's hand, intending to go in to pay a visit to Cui Zhaorong, but learned that her aunt had moved out of Yan Guo Mansion.

Cui Zhaorong moved out of Yan Guo Mansion at the end of last year in order to prepare for Pei Le's marriage.

It was learned that Pei Le had married Yang's daughter at the beginning of the year, that is, when Pei Xiu returned to Beijing last month.

For this, Cui Che regretted that this marriage was still arranged by him, but he, the matchmaker, did not get his adopted son's wedding wine.

Before entering the mansion in time, Cui Che asked Cui Qiji to lead the way for him, and went to Pei's mansion to visit Cui Zhaorong.

Cui Qiji was already familiar with this Pei residence, so he took Cui Che into it without needing to pass it on, and went straight to Cui Zhaorong's other courtyard.

As soon as Cui Che entered the yard, he yelled like a dragon:
"Auntie! I'm back!"

Cui Zhaorong in the bedroom smiled at his grandson-in-law:

"Che'er is back, go out and greet her for me."

Cui Zhaorong is getting older now, and his legs and feet are not as flexible as before. If he changed his past, he would definitely have to go out in person.

The daughter of the Yang family responded, walked out the door, saw the Cui family father and son, and bowed to Cui Che.

Last year, Cui Che took Pei Le to Yueguo Mansion for a blind date, and the two had met before.

Cui Che smiled and said:

"No need to be polite."

As soon as the daughter of the Yang family entered the door, Cui Che quickly walked up to Cui Zhaorong, bowed his head and said:

"Auntie, my nephew is back. He is leading the army and has never served my aunt. I ask my aunt to punish me."

Cui Zhaorong helped him up, looked at Cui Che carefully, and couldn't help laughing:

"Just come back safely!"

Although Cui Zhaorong's body is not as good as before, she is in good spirits. The only thing she cares about now is when Yang will be able to conceive her great-grandson.

As for Cui Che, she no longer needs to worry about it.

Cui Che got up, sat beside Cui Zhaorong, held her hand and asked:
"Why is Le'er not in the mansion today?"

As soon as he mentioned his grandson, Cui Zhaorong couldn't stop talking. It turned out that Pei Le has now become an official and worshiped as the county magistrate of Licheng, and he will leave soon.

Although they are only counted as the sixth grade, they are also parents of a county, and they have a heavy responsibility.

Since the father is not around, the adoptive father is also leading the army.

He had to listen to his father-in-law, Yang Xuangan, and teach him the way of governance all day long.
