On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 312 Three Chiefs
Although Cui Qiji is married, he is actually just a young man under the age of 16, and he has not been involved in the world deeply.

Cui Che was worried that his son would not be able to control his mouth because he was young, so he avoided Cui Qiji in many things and kept his mouth shut.

Therefore, there are not a few cronies who know Cui Che's hidden ambitions, but Cui Qiji, his own son, is not included.

And Cui Qiji would never have imagined that his father was inextricably linked with Yang Jian, Yang Guang and his son, but they were actually separated from each other.

As for Cui Che's concealment of his true relationship with Ah Hui Lusu, in Cui Qiji's view, it was just because he was worried about arousing the court's suspicion.

After all, since dawn, Cui Qiji has also seen too many people who suffered from suspicion and wronged to death.

Cui Che didn't talk about Yang Guang's behavior with Cui Qiji anymore, and there are some things that he will be able to distinguish when he has more experience.

No one knows a son better than a father, although Cui Qiji's aptitude is not as good as Tang Guogong Li Yuan's new second son in December last year, but he is not a fool.

On February 19th, the 599th year of Emperor Kaihuang (AD [-]), the three chiefs of Khitan Dahe, Tuliujin, and Pilier attached to the Sui Dynasty followed Cui Che's order and moved to the east bank of Laoha River with their tribes. It lives next to Kumoxi.

On the same day, the leaders of the three ministries crossed the river and went to pay homage to Cui Che at the camp of the Sui army.

Ogamo, the young chieftain of Ogabe, felt uneasy.

Cui Che's crimes committed in He Da'a and Yu Yuling's two divisions before made him famous, mentioning his name can even stop a Khitan child from crying at night.

The Dahemo Society always subconsciously assumes that if they were lured by Goguryeo's lure and turned their backs on the Sui Dynasty, whether the encounter between He Da'abe and Yu Yuling's tribe would fall on the head of their own tribe.

He once saw with his own eyes the chief of Yu Yuling's tribe, whose head was beheaded and hung on a wooden pole in the meadow. The headless corpse floating in the wind left a deep psychological shadow on the Dahemo Society.

When they came to the tent of the Sui army and saw Cui Che in military uniform, sitting majestically on the main seat, Dahe Mohui didn't even dare to look at Cui Che.

The three bowed respectfully to Cui Che, Cui Che raised his hand and said:

"The three chiefs please get up quickly."

There is no need for a translator to tell you that the Kumoxi people and the Khitan people are of the same origin, and they communicate with each other in their language. Cui Che is not only proficient in Turkic, but also diligently learned the language of the Xi people.

Dahemo will follow the two chiefs who spit Liujin and Pilier to get up.

Cui Che continued:
"Before Goguryeo invited Khitan to invade Yingzhou, the three chiefs were able to flatly refuse, which shows that they are loyal ministers of the Sui Dynasty. Cui has always been sincere and gentle towards friends."

The three hurriedly responded, lest they agree too late and offend Cui Che, mistakenly thinking that they were deliberately neglecting.

Cui Che comforted:
"You don't need to worry, you three. There is no malice in inviting you here today. I just want to discuss something with you."

Ogamokai and others hastily cupped their hands and said:
"I'm stupid, so I'd like to ask Lord Yan to make it clear."

Cui Che said seriously:
"Previously, the five Khitan tribes plundered Yingzhou and clearly violated the Great Sui Tianwei. Cui has the responsibility to protect the country and the people. How could he bear to see the people of the Han family reduced to dust and enslaved by others!
"Now I'm leading a hundred thousand elite riders eastward, only wanting to rescue them, not greedy for Khitan's people or animals.

"The eight tribes of Khitan have not belonged to each other for hundreds of years. Cui thought it was time for a co-lord to come out and preside over the situation."

While speaking, Cui Che was also observing the expressions of the three of them. Seeing that they were breathing rapidly, Cui Che stood up and said in a deep voice:
"After the rebellion of the five tribes of Khitan is defeated, I will use troops in Goguryeo, and you can follow.

"At that time, I will regard your merits as a sage, confer the title of king on the person with outstanding merits, and rule Khitan!

The three of them were very excited when they heard the words, and they scrambled to express their loyalty:

"The Department of Spitting Six Jin is willing to be driven by Duke Yan!"

"Piril's tribe will fight to the death for Duke Yan!"

"Dahemohui is willing to die for Duke Yan!"

Cui Che nodded slightly, he was very satisfied with the attitude of the three of them.

The rise of the Khitan did not mean that it entered the tribal alliance from the tribal stage. In the original time and space, the Khitan appeared as a co-lord at the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, but the real rise had to wait until the late Tang Dynasty.

And Cui Che plans to support a spokesperson within Khitan, this is his motivation.

The three chiefs walked out of the tent of the Sui army, and looked at each other, the amiability they had when they came was no longer there.

Both are competitors, so how can they have a good face.

Khitan eight, ranging from strength to weakness.

Among the three tribes that belonged to the Sui Dynasty, the Dahe tribe was the most powerful, able to conscript nearly [-] soldiers.

The Pilier tribe is next, with tens of thousands of people.

The Tu Liujin Department is the weakest, and it can barely muster an army of ten thousand people.

Among the remaining five ministries, Xiwandan and Chufu were not looted by the Sui army before, and they also participated in the looting of Yingzhou. Their strength ranked first among the five ministries, each with over [-] troops.

Although the Daji Department renamed from the Adahe Department and the Fen Wen Department renamed from the Yu Yuling Department were plundered by the Sui army, the young and strong were preserved, and each was able to pull out a team of more than [-] people.

Only the Tube tribe, formerly known as the Rilian tribe, was looted by the Kumoxi people and ambushed by the Mai Tiezhang. It suffered heavy losses and was the weakest. It could only mobilize more than 5000 people.

Cui Che threatened to lead [-] fine cavalry to conquer the disobedient ministers, and the five chiefs were all panicked.

With the strength of the five families, they could only assemble an army of [-]. They were already at a disadvantage in terms of numbers against the Sui army, not to mention the Youzhou cavalry under Cui Che's command, which were famous in Mobei for their bravery.

How to fight this battle.

On their own, they can't give birth to any resistance at all.

They coincidentally thought of Yaoren, what about Goguryeo, save it!
The five chiefs sent envoys to Pyongyang one after another, asking Gao Yuan to send troops to rescue.

You were the one who encouraged us to invade western Liaoning, but now that the Sui army is coming to retaliate, you have to give your brothers a hand.

At this time, it has only been more than a year since Gao Yuan submitted a petition to Yang Jian, claiming to be "Liaodong dung soil minister Yuan".

Although Goguryeo won the Liaodong War, it also made the Goguryeo people clearly realize the gap in strength between them and the Sui Dynasty.

The 30 army marched eastward, lost troops and lost generals, but they haven't hurt their vitality, which is outrageous.

Therefore, when the five chiefs asked Goguryeo for help, it was Gao Yuan who broke through domestic resistance and decided to send his confidant Ulchi Wende to command an army of [-] and [-] Mohe cavalry to rescue the five Khitan tribes.

In fact, according to Gao Yuan's idea, he hoped that the five tribes of Khitan could move inward, and, like the Mohe people, nomad them under the rule of Goguryeo and completely control them.

But the Khitan people were unwilling to leave their ancestral land, so Gao Yuan could only send troops to rescue.

On February 19th, the 599th year of Emperor Kaihuang ([-] A.D.), more than [-] Sui troops followed Cui Che across the Laoha River after resting in Kumoxi for half a month.

This huge cavalry unit created a strong visual impact for the three chiefs including the Dahemohui.
