On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 298 Shocking Northern Xinjiang
On March 17th, the 597th year of Emperor Kaihuang ([-] A.D.), Cui Che bid farewell to Yang Jian and his wife after spending a leisurely time in Daxing. In the early morning of that day, he took his family and set off for Youzhou.

This time, Yang Awu generously came to the outside of the Yan State Mansion to bid farewell to Cui Che.

Instead of secretly hiding in the corner before, watching Cui Che leave.

Cui Che and Yang Awu didn't have much love for each other. They both knew that although their relationship had heated up rapidly recently, as long as Yang Jian didn't nod, there would be no substantial progress.

The two just told each other to take care of their health, and Cui Che walked away under the gaze of Yang Ah Wu.

It is still the previous route, as long as the Yellow River is not frozen, it basically arrives at Tongguan via the Guangtong Canal, and then takes a boat at the ferry outside the pass, and goes out along the water of the Yellow River to the east.

After setting foot in Hebei, Cui Che went to Anping first, and brought his children to worship the ancestors.

The Boling cavalry had already returned from Hengzhou, and Du Suliu had obtained Yang Jian's permission to command [-] Turkic captives, buy Khitan women for them in Youzhou, reorganize the tribe, and is now nomadic between Hengzhou and Daizhou.

Logically speaking, Yang Jian ordered 30 soldiers to be recruited in Hebei and Hedong. Except for the [-] cavalry in [-] towns in six prefectures who followed Cui Che to frighten northern Xinjiang, soldiers from other states and counties were all included in the call-up.

Naturally, it also included Cui Che's three thousand cavalry in Anping County.

Gao Jiong originally planned to transfer these [-] cavalry soldiers under his command. This army has followed Cui Che in the South and North for many years and enjoys a high reputation. How could Gao Jiong be willing to let go of such elite soldiers, both public and private?

But Yang Liang also knew that with Cui Che's personal relationship with Gao Jiong, this Boling cavalry team might end up being used to death if they are useful.

He wanted to make friends with Cui Che, so he crossed out all the cavalry led by Bo from the recruitment list. For this reason, he even had a dispute with Gao Jiong, but he refused to take half a step back. Gao Jiong had no choice but to obey.

He has the right to make decisions on the fly, but before sending troops, Yang Liang is the marshal of the army.

As a prince, Yang Liang is deeply doted on by his parents. At the age of 23, he has been reluctant to give up and has to be kept by his side. Now that he is given the opportunity to destroy the country and build the country, it is only natural that he has the heart to seize the throne.

Although there were still two armies on land and water for this expedition to Goguryeo, Han Wang Yang Liang and Gao Jiong commanded the imperial cavalry army, and Yang Jian sent Wang Shiji, then the general manager of Qingzhou, to lead the Qingzhou navy to Pyongyang.

But in Cui Che's view, the time has moved forward by one year after all, and it will not be the same as the original time and space. Before seeing the enemy, nine out of ten soldiers will die miserably.

However, Cui Che was delighted to see that his own cavalry could avoid this battle, so he specially wrote to express his gratitude to Yang Liang.

When Yang Liang received the letter, he also felt that his painstaking efforts were finally not in vain.

He firmly believes that as long as he swings the hoe well, there is no corner that cannot be dug down. Compared with his elder brother Yang Yong, he is more favored by his parents. Make friends with court ministers.

On the way Cui Che went to Jixian County, he often encountered groups of government soldiers. They came from Hedong and Hebei prefectures and counties, rushing to Yingzhou to gather.

Yang Liang and Gao Jiong are gathering troops in Longshan County at this time.

When the government soldiers saw the carriage marked by Yan Guofu, they always stopped to salute, and Cui Che occasionally stepped out of the carriage to talk to them.

These government soldiers didn't complain much. It was the turn of spring and summer, and the spring plowing had already passed. The imperial court recruited them at this time, and the farming time was not delayed.

Besides, they had long heard that the soldiers guarding the frontier had gone out of the fort four times with Cui Che, and they had gained a lot each time.

"I only wish I didn't work under Duke Yan's command, otherwise it would be safe."

A young soldier said regretfully.

Cui Che just shook his head and didn't speak.

Let him fight Goguryeo, he is not sure. Sometimes, man-made disasters can be avoided, but there is really nothing you can do about natural disasters.

Besides, the road to conquer Goguryeo was difficult, and it itself was not a tiny country. It could be called the overlord of the Northeast, and its strength should not be underestimated.

The long supply line, transported from the rear to the front, will not be less worn out.

These government soldiers did not know the difference between plundering Turks and Khitan and conquering Goguryeo.

After all, the Turks and Khitans are nomadic peoples, and there are not many dangerous passes, so everyone runs away after grabbing them.

As for Goguryeo, not to mention whether the purpose of this battle is to conquer and destroy the country, even if you want to plunder, you have to break through those gates.

When Cui Che arrived in Jixian County, Li Jing, the governor of Youzhou, was summoning civilians for the Eastern Expedition Army.

Yingzhou was originally sparsely populated. It was a huge state, but there was only one Longshan County, and a large number of people were robbed by Goguryeo and Khitan in the wild.

Only the [-] step riders from the six prefectures and fifty towns were exempted from the Eastern Expedition, but the local ordinary people were inevitably recruited.

It is said that there is exemption money, but when it comes time to need civilian husbands to join the army, who can control it.

This made the people of Youzhou complain endlessly.

In the past when Cui Che fought in wars, although they didn't get much benefit, they didn't wantonly recruit civilians.

After all, it is unrealistic to expect civilian husbands to transport food across the desert. He is learning from the grassland peoples, grazing and marching at the same time.

But to use troops in Liaodong, Cui Che's move was useless, and he could only rely on civilian husbands to push grain carts for the frontline troops.

For this reason, Li Jing recruited more than [-] peasants in [-] towns in six prefectures, and almost all the vehicles were requisitioned.

Grain from warehouses in various parts of Hebei was also transported northward one after another, and sent to Yingzhou via Jixian County.

Youzhou is just a transfer station, and Wei Chong, the general manager of Yingzhou, is actually in charge of the logistics of the army.

Cui Che didn't care about the Eastern Expedition. After he settled his family in Ji County, he took Cui Qiji and Mai Mengcai to Hengzhou. At the same time, he issued an order to the [-] step riders in the fifty towns of six states to gather in Hengzhou. .

The soldiers thought it was Cui Che who was going to lead them out to plunder again, and everyone rejoiced.

It's just that when everyone arrived in Hengzhou and learned that they were only stationed, they were inevitably discouraged.

Cui Che also finds it funny, now that Dulan Khan is far away, Tuli Khan and Dusu Liuyehu have joined him one after another, and Kumoxi is even more friendly with Da Sui, so there is no place for them to grab around here.

Fortunately, after Cui Che visited the camp several times, he lowered his posture and communicated cordially with the soldiers, and his morale gradually improved.

After learning that Cui Che was stationed in Hengzhou, not only Tuli Khan, Du Suliu, Ahui Lusu and other close neighbors sent to visit him, but even Dulan Khan who lived in Duluoshui in the far north of Mobei also sent Make south.

The envoy was still Cui Che's old acquaintance, Yu Qincha.

Prior to this, after Yang Liang and Gao Jiong had made preparations for the war, they sent troops from Longshan County on April [-] to start the war against Goguryeo.

　It was recommended on the Internet today. I originally wanted to make a big change, but my body stretched my hips.

　　Don't say anything else, let's see my performance tomorrow.
