Chapter 506
At dusk, various ministries of the Eastern Sui Dynasty arrived at Feng Yi one after another. Cui Che left one to protect the civilians who accompanied the army to build a camp, while he led the rest of the soldiers and horses to form an formation outside the city, but he was not in a hurry to attack the city.

Surrounding Feng Yi in a circle, the city is really not easy to fight, Cui Che returned to the camp after showing off his might.

In the handsome tent, he said to everyone:
"Feng Yicheng is tall and thick. If you want to select him, it will not happen overnight. We need to be prepared for a hard fight."

Fengyi County used to be the front line of the stalemate between the Eastern Wei Dynasty and the Western Wei Dynasty. It was not called this name at that time, but Huayin County, which was the seat of Huazhou.

The defender of Huayin at that time was General Wang Wei of the Western Wei Dynasty, and he personally supervised the construction and reinforcement of the Huayin city defense, repelling the attacks of the Eastern Wei Dynasty with strong troops and horses several times.

Today's Feng Yishou will be able to surrender as a minister, and he will be ranked No. 12 in Lingyan Pavilion in later generations, which shows that Qu Tutong is not mediocre.

Hearing Cui Che's words, everyone nodded in agreement, Feng Yi County is really not easy to fight.

Changsun Wuji had something to think about, and blurted out:
"Your Majesty, why don't you send an envoy into the city to know Qu Tu's benefits and benefits, and promise him a high position and rich salary. If this person is willing to surrender, Feng Yi can surrender without a fight."

The eldest grandson Wuji turned fifteen, and like Xu Shiji, Cui Che allowed him to participate in the military council.

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes turned to Changsun Wuji.

As his name suggests, Changsun Wuji has no fear, he said loudly:

"Wuji is willing to be this lobbyist for the king."

Cui Che scolded:
"Nonsense! You have no personal relationship with Qu Tutong, how can you persuade him to surrender."

Changsun Wuji wanted to argue that his father, Changsun Sheng, had a close relationship with Qu Tu, as the son of an old man, how could it be said that he had no personal relationship.

But looking at Cui Che's fierce staring eyes, Changsun Wuji had no choice but to keep silent.

After blocking Changsun Wuji, several close acquaintances who had known Qu Tutong in the past recommended themselves and were willing to act as lobbyists, but they were all rejected by Cui Che.

Cui Che said in a deep voice:
"Qu Tutong always has the ambition to serve the country. If it is not a dead end, he will definitely not surrender to me. He may even kill the envoy to show his heart to the defenders."

Only then did everyone know that Cui Che was worried about their safety after they entered the city, and even Changsun Wuji felt a flash of gratitude in his heart, he thought it was Cui Che who despised him.

But what should be done still has to be done. Cui Che personally wrote a letter to Qu Tutong. In the letter, he scolded Yang Guang for killing his father and questioned Qu Tutong. Love, why can't you avenge Gaozu with yourself, but help the king to do evil.

Cui Che did not choose to let his cronies deliver the letter for him, but found a prisoner and ordered him to go to the city to deliver the letter for him.

Before the Western Sui Dynasty harassed the construction of the pontoon bridge, Qin Qiong still captured some prisoners. With these people around, why would he need to take risks on his own.

The captives were taken to Feng Yixia by several cavalrymen, Cui Che and a group of cronies waited for news in the commander's tent.

Not long after, the cavalry pawns sent before hurried back, but they also brought a bloody head and the unopened letter.

The cavalry replied:
"Your Majesty, after the messenger entered the city, I waited outside the city. Soon, this head was thrown from the city wall with the letter from the Majesty, and the people in the city also said."

Seeing the pawns hesitating, Cui Che frowned and said:
"What have you said, tell the truth."

The cavalry did not dare to hide anything, and continued:

"The man said: I, Qu Tutong, have received great kindness from the country, served the late emperor and the present emperor, and I am about to fight to the death to repay the favor of the emperor. How can I... How can I be with the king.

"Your Majesty, come and attack, but my neck is about to be stabbed for the country."

Cui Che sneered when he heard that, I'm afraid Qu Tutong's original words were much worse than this, at least he would call himself Cui Ni, a national thief, instead of respectfully calling himself the king.

He asked the cavalry to take the head that had been smashed so that it could not be identified first, and raised the letter with the wax seal in his hand, saying to everyone:

"Qu Tutong killed the messenger without even opening the envelope, and returned the letter intact, which shows his determination."

Just a few close friends who took the initiative to invite Ying to be lobbyists in the city, including Changsun Wuji, all called it a fluke.

If it wasn't for Cui Che's prudence and not allowing them to enter the city, I'm afraid that the one sent back now would be his own good head.

"Your Majesty, Qu Tutong is ignorant of the number of days, and he is stubbornly resisting. After breaking the city, please kill him!"

When one person asks, everyone agrees.

As the saying goes, when two countries engage in war, they don't kill each other. That's why Changsun Wuji and others asked to enter the city as lobbyists, thinking that Qu Tutong would leave a way out for himself no matter what.

Cui Che was noncommittal, and said perfunctorily:

"This matter will be discussed after the city is broken."

Regarding Qu Tutong's choice, Cui Che actually knew the bottom line.

It is true that Qu Tutong became the founding hero of the Tang Dynasty in the end, but that was also a helpless move after being desperate.

In the original time and space, Li Yuan captured Chang'an, captured Qu Tutong's family members, and sent his slaves to surrender, but was beheaded by Qu Tutong.

He also sent his son Qu Tushou to persuade him, causing Qu Tutong to scold him:
'You and I used to be father and son, but now we are enemies. '

He ordered someone to shoot his son, but fortunately Qu Tushou recovered his life.

Cui Che certainly hated such a stinky stone as an enemy, but if one day it fell into his hands, how could he bear to hurt it.

Especially in the original time and space, this person finally surrendered to Li Yuan. In this life, if he is at the end of his rope, could it be that he cannot surrender to Cui Che.

After discussing with the generals about tomorrow's siege arrangement, Cui Che retreated from the crowd. It was getting dark and it was time to rest.

Changsun Wuji saw his mother Gao who had been waiting outside the tent, and Gao said with concern:

"Just now I heard from Guanyin's servant girl that you had a dispute with the king, what is the reason?"

Changsun Wuji glared at the maidservant Guanyin when he heard the words, knowing that he must be a lobbyist, the sentence that was reprimanded by Cui Che was heard by the maidservant Guanyin who was playing outside the tent, so mother could know.

Guanyin's servant stuck out her tongue and hid behind her mother.

Changsun Wuji had no choice but to explain the reason to Gao. Gao's face turned pale from fright, and she was terrified:
"No wonder I saw someone come in and out with a blood-dripping wooden box before. If it wasn't for the king's clear inspection, you almost lost your life!"

Avalokitesvara's servant girl also called out luck, and kept trying to persuade her elder brother not to risk his life by committing suicide.

Changsun Wuji nodded and said:
"Mother, don't worry, after this incident, the child will definitely remember the lesson."

Then he laughed again:

"The child is serving under the command of the king, and the king loves the house and the crow, so he will not let me be in danger."

Obviously, he has already fully accepted the relationship between Cui Che and his mother.

A serious marriage, what you love and what I want, and it's not forcing a good woman, so naturally there are not so many grievances.
