Chapter 371
Cui Che knew that righteousness alone was not enough, and he once again dissipated the remaining wealth of the family.

Of course, the family's floating wealth alone was not enough for the 11 paces. Cui Che opened the big warehouse in Ji County privately and took out the supplies.

In the past, Yang Jian specially opened a warehouse in Youzhou in order to support Cui Che in his crusade against Goguryeo.

After capturing Liaodong, Cui Che also almost exhausted the supplies in Jixian Dacang.

But after recovering Liaodong, Yang Jian did not want to stir up Cui Che's rebellion, so he chose to lure him into the court, so he pretended to support him to continue his conquest of Goguryeo, and sent a large amount of supplies to Youzhou, filling up the warehouse in Ji County again .

Today, Cui Che is able to be generous to others.

Anyway, the autumn harvest has passed, and it is time to collect taxes. Even if the sky falls, the tax that should be paid must not be less.

Cui Che has controlled Yandi for so many years, and now he raises troops in response to Yang Liang's banner of revenge for Yang Jian, which will not disrupt the local order.

After all, before this, Yandi was already in a semi-independent state.

Among the officials, those who were truly loyal to the imperial court either resigned on their own initiative or were forced to be expelled by Cui Che long after Cui Che had a bad relationship with the imperial court.

Now the officials of the six states of You, Yi, Ping, Xuan, Yan, and Heng are Cui Che's minions.

The soldiers received great rewards and benefits, and the audience cheered thunderously, thanking Cui Che for his kindness.

That is to say, Yang Jian is not dead, if he is still alive, I am afraid that everyone will follow Cui Che to go to Luo with a knife, and share their interests with him.

On the same day, Yang Liang, the governor of Bingzhou and the governor of the state, played the banner of avenging Yang Jian, issued a call to action, announced Yang Guang's crimes, and raised troops in Jinyang.

Liu Fang, the general manager and governor of Dingzhou, immediately responded to Yang Liang and Cui Che with the three prefectures of Ding, Ji, and Ying.

The governors of Ji and Yingzhou who were originally loyal to the imperial court, like the officials of Youzhou, had already fled when they realized that the situation was not right.

Jizhou is currently governed by Pei Xiu, and Yingzhou is presided over by Fang Yanqian. Neither of them has been appointed by the imperial court, but the decrees of the two are unimpeded in the local area.

After Cui Che raised his troops, he immediately dispatched troops and generals. He first sent Cheng Yaojin to lead [-] cavalry to guard Fang Xuanling and go to Fan Yang to win the support of Fan Yang's Lu family.

On the way, Cheng Yaojin asked Fang Xuanling:
"Chairman Shi, if Fan Yang and Lu family are obsessed with obsession and do not want to obey Duke Yan, what should we do?"

Fang Xuanling smiled and said:
"The Lu family of Fanyang and the Cui family of Qinghe used to be respected as the best family in the world, but since Lu Ben was removed from the name of the people, and the last emperor reigned, the clan has never been able to succeed. The whole clan has long hated the court.

"Besides, Duke Yan comes from a famous family in Shandong, and he holds a heavy army. Such a leader raises the flag of rebellion. In fact, you and I don't need to make a trip. Lu will come to vote."

Cheng Yaojin suddenly realized when he heard the words, no wonder Fang Xuanling looked relaxed along the way.

Fang Xuanling assisted Cui Che in governing Youzhou for many years, so he naturally knew the attitude of the Fanyang Lu family under his rule towards the court.

In fact, the Lu family of Fan Yang has really fallen in the past these years. If Cui Che hadn't got rid of Yanrong in advance and became the governor of Youzhou, the children of the Lu family would have to be captured by Yan Rong to serve as small soldiers and officials as a humiliation.

Facts were just as Fang Xuanling expected, the army arrived in Fanyang County, without Fang Xuanling's persuasion, Fanyang Lu's and Fanyang's Zu's not only donated supplies, but also sent outstanding children from the clan to participate.

Among them, the members of the Lu family in Fanyang are headed by Lu Mingyue, while the members of the Zu family in Fanyang are headed by their ancestor Yanma.

When it comes to resentment towards the imperial court, Zu Junyan is far better than everyone present.

He was born in a noble family, he was well-read and memorized, and he was quick-witted, but he was over [-] years old, but after the fall of the Northern Qi Dynasty, he hid in the countryside.

It's not that Zu Junyan cherishes his homeland and doesn't want to be an official, but Yang Jian refuses to use him.

A friend once recommended Zu Junyan to Yang Jian, but Yang Jian heard that he was the son of Zuo Teng, the left servant of the Shangshu of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and said in disgust:
'Is he the son of the man who killed Hulu Mingyue?I won't use this kind of person! '

Hu Luguang, a famous general in the Northern Qi Dynasty, was framed by Zu Junyan's father, Zu Teng, and his family was wiped out by Gao Wei.

Zu Junyan was implicated by his father, and his official career was hopeless. Not only that, maybe his descendants would not be able to succeed in the Sui Dynasty. After all, Yang Jian had already said that he would not use Zu Ting's descendants.

In fact, Zu Ting's reputation in Kanto is not bad. During his time in power, the officials were competent and praised both internally and externally.

The only thing he did wrong was to frame Hu Luguang in order to fight for power.

Based on old grievances, Zu Junyan responded most positively, and he even donated all the remaining money in his family for military use.

Cui Che nominally used the banner of avenging Yang Jian, but he could only fool the common people. No one really knows what is going on in his heart.

But it just so happens that Xiang Fan, Lu family and Fan Yang Zu family miss the glory of the Northern Wei, Eastern Wei, and Northern Qi dynasties in the past. Compared with the current downfall, they are also gearing up to participate in it.

When Fang Xuanling led the Lu family and the Zu family back to Ji County, Cui Che was overjoyed, and he immediately ordered Zu Junyan to draft an appeal for himself.

This brother is very clear, "Books for Li Mi and Yuan Ziqian" and "Books for Li Mi and Li Yuan" are all written by him, and there is another article "An Essay on Luozhou for Li Mi", which is even more famous through the ages.

Zu Junyan didn't refuse either, he agreed to the matter, and it only took one night, and the next day he brought an article "Begging Yang Guangxi for Cui Che" to Cui Che.

After Cui Che read it, he was very satisfied. It seems that Zu Junyan had vented all his disappointment over the years in this essay, which is completely a parallel essay that is not inferior to "Speaking to Luozhou Wen for Li Mi".

He handed the call to action to Fang Xuanling, and said with a smile:
"It's the court's fault that there are such talents who don't use it."

After watching it, Fang Xuanling was also amazed by it.

Cui Che then recruited Zu Junyan to join the army as a reporter and wrote letters for him.

Immediately, people were sent to issue a call to action to various places. This "call for Yang Guang for Cui Che" and the previous call to action spread by Han Wang Yang Liang undoubtedly caused a shock in the world and an uproar in public opinion.

It's just that the public opinion has not fermented yet, and Cui Che, who has long been prepared for war, of course will not be immersed in talking about it.

After gaining the support of Fan Yang's Lu family and Zu family, Cui Che personally led 8 Han troops and [-] Khitan troops, a total of [-] people went south to Dingzhou.

The 13-year-old second son Cui Yanqing led [-] Han troops to guard Yandi, but Cui Yanqing was only staying behind in name, and all military and political affairs were handled by Fang Xuanling on his behalf.

When parting, Cui Che once again shook hands with Fang Xuanling:
"It's not Xuanling who stays behind. No one can take on this important task. After leaving, everything will be entrusted to Xuanling."

Immediately, he called Cui Yanqing to him, and said:
"You need to ask the head of the house, Shi, for everything, and you must not make your own decisions. Serve the head of the house, Shi, as you serve your father."
