On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 363 Li Mi Runs East
Yang Jian did not expect that Cui Che could consciously let go of his power in Yandi and force him to return to the court through forced summoning.

This move was just to trap him in injustice, after all, judging from the edict, Yang Jian didn't intend to leave Cui Che idle, but to pay homage to him.

If Cui Che refuses to enter the court, his rebellious heart will be known to the world.

Yang Jian sent Li Yuantong, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments, and Li Yuantong, the governor of Wan'an County, to take over as the governor of Youzhou. He also sent Guo Rong, the governor of Pucheng County, to Yingzhou to take over as the governor of Yingzhou.

Both Li Yuantong and Guo Rong were ministers of Yang Jian's hidden residence, especially Li Yuantong, who was born as a servant of the Yang family. When he was the governor of Bingzhou, he was implicated and dismissed because he failed to persuade Qin Wang Yang Jun.

But in the early years, he desperately defended Yang Jian several times, and with this friendship, he was re-activated not long after.

While forcibly recruiting Cui Che into the court, Yang Jian did not forget to cut off Cui Che's wings in the local area.

Liu Fang, the governor of Dingzhou, was changed to be the governor of Guangzhou, and the rest of the governors, such as Qin Qiong, Pei Xiu, Huang Baiji, etc., were also transferred from Hebei, Shandong and other places.

Among them, Yang Da, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, was the general manager of Dingzhou.

Once these edicts were issued, all people of insight in Guanzhong were in an uproar.

Li Mi, who lived in seclusion in Huashan and studied, heard the news and immediately packed his bags, planning to take his family to Youzhou and join Cui Che.

Li Kuan, the father of Li Mi, has passed away. He inherited his father's title and became Duke of Pushan County.

But political frustration made Li Mi dissatisfied with the court, especially Yang Guang.

Like other noble children, Li Mi left Weishui Academy in the early years and went to serve in the Imperial Army.

He started as the governor of the Zuoqinwei Mansion, and then moved to the East Palace to prepare himself.

As the general of the East Palace garrison, Li Mi should have a promising future, and he has a close relationship with Yang Guang. After all, when Li Mi was young, he had a relationship with Yang Guang in Cui Che's Yan State Mansion.

But he didn't think about it, but Yang Guang felt that the grown-up Li Mi looked different from ordinary people when he was looking forward to it, and he couldn't keep him by his side, so he sent his confidant Yu Wenshu to persuade Li Mi to leave.

'Your brother's aptitude is so good, he should be selected by his talent and learning, why stay in the East Palace, the affairs of the East Palace are cumbersome, and it is not a place to cultivate talents. '

Yu Wenshu's rhetoric seems reasonable, but even a fool would know that staying in the East Palace is the minister of the prince's hidden residence.

At the beginning, Cui Che did not hesitate to take the risk of going to Yu Chijiong's side as an internal correspondent because of his reputation as the minister of the hidden mansion.

But Li Mi still resigned happily. He knew that it was not Yu Wenshu who let him go, but Prince Yang Guang.

Li Mi undoubtedly has great ambitions, and now living in seclusion in the mountains does not mean that he is willing to be mediocre for a lifetime.

Although he was born in Guanlong Xungui, he was feared by the prince Yang Guang. In the new dynasty in the future, he might not be able to do anything.

Now in the center of the court, the conflict with the Hebei local forces headed by Cui Che is almost on the bright side.Li Mi believes that his brother's power and ability will make great achievements, so he also wants to do something with him.

He believed that Cui Che had been planning secretly for a long time.

As the saying goes, the authorities are obsessed, but the bystanders are clear.This can be seen from two years ago, after Pei Le went to work in Hebei, Yang Lihua asked Yang Jian for Li Min to be released.

It's just that Yang Jian relaxed his vigilance because Cui Che took the initiative to enter the court and didn't notice it.

Just when Li Mi's family was about to leave, a visitor came to the door. It was Yang Xuangan, who had a fellowship with him.

Yang Xuangan looked at the packed bags and asked:

"Where are you going, brother?"

Li Mi explained:
"I'm planning to go out for a trip, and I will love the mountains and rivers."

A strange smile appeared on Yang Xuangan's face, and said:

"Brother, I'm afraid I'm going to Yandi to see the scenery of the frontier fortress?"

Li Mi did not hide anything, he smiled and said:

"That's exactly what I want to do. If I want to come, it's not a crime to go to Yandi to visit the mountains and rivers."

Yang Xuangan nodded and said:

"Of course it's not a crime."

As he spoke, but the topic changed, Yang Xuangan lowered his voice and said in a deep voice:

"But the act of rebellion is the crime of destroying the family."

Yang Xuangan exposed the matter, but Li Mi was not panicked, the two were close friends, Li Mi knew each other's temperament well, he smiled and said:

"Now that the world is in peace, there is no rebellion, mysterious feeling, you can't talk nonsense."

Yang Xuangan laughed out loud when he heard the words, and then revealed the matter.

After having a few drinks with Li Mi, Yang Xuangan bid him farewell.

When the two walked outside the door, Yang Xuangan suddenly said with emotion:
"Let's say goodbye today, and when we meet again in the future, you and I are masters, and it must be a scene where swords and soldiers meet.

"When you go to Ji County, remember to tell Zicheng that when the two armies face each other, Yang will not miss the old friendship."

Li Mi was disgusted by Yang Guang, depressed and frustrated, so he had no choice but to vote for his senior brother.

But Yang Xuangan was different. His father, Yang Su, was an extremely human minister, and he was a servant of others. How could Yang Xuangan take the risk of exterminating his family to participate in this upcoming rebellion.

As far as Yang Xuangan was concerned, it was the wisest choice to stand on the court's side. After all, even if Cui Che entered Guanzhong, with the friendship he had when he was young, he could still thrive in the new court.

If they followed Cui Che, once the Sui army entered Ji County, they would definitely die.

Knowing this, when the two were drinking, Li Mi did not persuade Yang Xuangan to go with him.

Just listening to Yang Xuangan saying that he would not show mercy on the battlefield made Li Mi laugh, and Li Mi laughed and said:

"The sage is inherently suspicious, and the crown prince is even better than his father. With my profound sense of friendship with Zicheng, there is no chance of leading the army."

Yang Xuan sighed helplessly, and he also knew what Li Mi said was true.

After sending away the preoccupied Yang Xuangan, Li Mi had no time to clean up the remaining floating wealth at home, so he hurriedly set off with his wife and children.

He believed that Yang Xuangan was true, but Li Mi still had to prepare for the worst.

At the same time, unable to wait to stay in Daxing to spend the new year, the new Youzhou governor Li Yuantong, Yingzhou governor Guo Rong, Dingzhou governor Yang Da and others hurried on the road under Yang Jian's urging.

On the third day of February in the fourth year of Renshou (AD 604), everyone arrived in Hebei, but they dared not go to the territory rashly.

I still remember that when Yang Jian came to power, he planned to conscript Yu Chijiong into the court and send Wei Xiaokuan to take over the post of Xiangzhou governor.

If someone hadn't tipped off the news, Wei Xiaokuan would have been ambushed and killed by Yuchi Jiong long ago.

Lessons learned from the past, we have to guard against it.

Liu Fang and the others received the imperial court's transfer order one after another, but they didn't hurry to set off, but sent envoys to Yanzhou to report the matter to Cui Che.

At this time, Cui Che was gathering soldiers in Yanzhou in the name of suppressing the rebellion of the Xi clan.

There were [-] cavalry soldiers in Yandi and [-] Khitan cavalry, all of them gathered.

There were also [-] Liaodong cavalry led by Cui Xingwu, who came to Yanzhou to obey orders.

This is also the reason why Li Yuantong, Guo Rong, Yang Da and others did not dare to act rashly.
