On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 507
Seeing Changsun Wuji talking about Aiwujiwu, although Gao was ashamed, she was also happy that her marriage was supported by her son.

"If you can remember the lesson, you will feel at ease as a mother. Go back tonight and have a good rest. You will be attacking the city tomorrow. Although you don't have to go to the front line, you have to cheer up if you follow the king."

Changsun Wuji nodded when he heard the words, and after resigning from Mrs. Gao, he went to his sleeping tent.

Mrs. Gao was about to serve Cui Che, when she saw Guanyin's servant girl following her, she frowned and said:
"If you don't go back to rest, what will you do for your mother?"

Avalokitesvara laughed and said:
"Just now I heard from elder brother that grandpa was offended by the guard, so he must be angry in his heart.

"Grandpa once said that as long as he sees his daughter, he feels happy.

"At this time, my daughter's visit may make Grandpa happy.

"Besides, when did Grandpa go to bed so early?"

Seeing that Guanyin's maidservant said the same thing, Gao had no way to refute it, so he could only let her go.

The mother and daughter walked into the handsome tent, Cui Che, who was sitting on the main seat, nodded and said:

"It's all here."

After Gao's salute, she walked behind Cui Che, squeezed his shoulders, and said gratefully:
"Wuji is young and eager to make contributions. For today's matter, I would like to thank Your Majesty."

Cui Che understood that what Gao said was that he prevented Changsun Wuji from becoming a lobbyist, he laughed and said:
"You are Wuji's mother, so naturally Wuji is also my child, why should the whole family be so alienated?"

As he said that, he looked at Guanyin's servant girl again, pretending to be angry and said:

"I had a meeting with everyone earlier, did you eavesdrop outside the account?"

It turns out that the eavesdropping by Guanyin's maid had already been reported to Cui Che.

Seeing Cui Che's anger, Guanyin's servant turned pale, tears rolled in her eyes, and apologized to Cui Che in tears, lest Cui Che would hate her because of it.

However, Cui Che just frightened her, stretched out his hand, wiped away the tears of Guanyin servant girl with his thumb, and said seriously:

"The military discussion is a big deal, don't leak the news, I know you were playing outside the tent, and accidentally overheard it, but you are not allowed to do it again in the future.

"Of course, I'm also to blame for this matter, because my father didn't make it clear to you in advance."

The Guanyin servant girl choked up and said:

"No, it's all my daughter's fault. My daughter will never dare to approach the big tent when Grandpa is in a meeting with others. I just ask Grandpa not to annoy me."

Seeing her daughter crying pitifully, Mrs. Gao quickly changed the topic and asked:
"Your Majesty, Gao Jiong and Yu Wenshu asked people to drive the villagers into the city. Wouldn't this behavior increase the consumption of grain and grass in the city? Why do they still do this?"

Cui Che also wiped away the tears of Guanyin's servant girl at this time. She looked at Cui Che curiously, obviously also very puzzled by this question.

Cui Che smiled and said:

"Those villagers brought their own food into the city, and they couldn't consume the food in the city.

"Yu Wenshu forced the people to enter the city, firstly to increase the number of people defending the city, and secondly, I am afraid that I will drive the people to attack the city.

"It's ridiculous. This is not outside the Great Wall. How could I, Cui Che, treat the people of the Central Plains like this?"

Guanyin's maid was still puzzled, she asked:
"If grandpa insists on besieging the city, the food brought by the people will be exhausted sooner or later, so they still have to eat the food in the city."

Cui Che shook his head and said:
"At that point, they will also not be able to consume the food in the city."

Avalokitesvara asked:

"Why did Grandpa say that?"

Cui Che didn't want to answer at first, but seeing the curiosity in Guanyin's maidservant's eyes became more and more intense, he explained:
"The generals guarding the city will sit and watch the people who were driven into the city starve to death, and then take their corpses to make military rations."

The Avalokitesvara's maid turned pale with shock, and Gao's hair stood on end as well.

They were born noble, and they used the dead as military rations. This kind of thing was far beyond their mental capacity.

Avalokitesvara's servant girl asked with some fear:
"Grandfather, you used to."

Cui Che knew what she was going to say, and said with a smile:

"Being forced to eat people is because there is not enough food and grass, so you have to do it as a last resort. As a father, you never fight unprepared battles, so naturally you have never eaten human flesh."

Hearing this, Guanyin's servant let out a long breath of relief.

It's just that when she returned to the sleeping tent, she tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. She finally stayed up until the middle of the night, fell asleep because of exhaustion, but was awakened by the nightmare.

In the dream, a group of hungry people wanted to share food with her, but the maidservant of Guanyin was frightened into a cold sweat, and her back was sticky.

She didn't dare to sleep anymore, hugged her calves on the couch, and curled up in a corner until it was light.

The camp of the Eastern Sui Dynasty was lighting a fire to prepare meals, and the Guanyin maidservant came out early in the morning, and saw Cui Che walking out of the large tent of the Chinese army next to her sleeping tent.

"Did you lose sleep again last night?"

Cui Che couldn't help asking with concern when he saw the small face of Guanyin's servant girl was pale and bloodless.

Only then did Guanyin's maid truthfully tell Cui Che that she was frightened last night and didn't sleep all night.

Cui Che stroked her head and comforted her:
"Don't be afraid, I'll ask the military doctor to prescribe some tranquilizing medicine for you. In the past few days, I will let your mother sleep with you at night. This is a military camp with strong yang energy. Even if there are ghosts in this world, I dare not come here."

Guanyin's maidservant nodded obediently, for some reason, as long as her stepfather said it, she would firmly believe it.

The battle was imminent, Cui Che just said this, ordered the barracks to prescribe the medicine, and stopped paying attention to the frightened Guanyin maidservant.

After eating breakfast with the soldiers, Cui Che left Gao's mother and daughter in the camp, and at the same time sent Li Min to lead [-] single-horse cavalry to guard the camp's luggage, leaving Dou Jiande as the deputy general.

Li Min and Yang Guang have a family feud, and wish they could eat their flesh raw. Originally, Cui Che wanted him to become a civil servant.

But Li Min pleaded repeatedly, hoping to join the army in the conquest, in order to avenge the slaughter of his clan.

He is only 33 years old now, and his father-in-law Cui Che, who is six years older than him, still has black hair, but Li Min has a slight frost on his temples. It can be seen that there are more than [-] members of the clan, all of whom were killed by Yang Guang, which is a blow to him. how big.

In the end, Cui Che was still moved by Li Min's persistence, and kept him in the army and brought him to Kansai.

Cui Che divided the [-] civilians who came with the army into two groups. One group, under the guidance of craftsmen, helped build siege equipment.

The other part is more threatening and needs to carry sandbags to fill the moat.

This has always been the case in marching and fighting since ancient times. As long as there are civilian men, such things as filling the moat are left to them. This can not only consume the defenders' arrows, but also save energy for the army.

Of course, the peasants are not doing it for nothing. If they were killed or injured during the landfill, Cui Che would also issue pensions to their families. Go to those soldiers who really fight to the death.

Qu Tutong on the city tower saw that it was a civilian husband carrying sandbags to fill the moat, and did not let the defenders shoot arrows.

Qu Tutong knew that the Guandong had enough manpower, and Cui Che had no shortage of peasants. He would eventually fill up the moat. Instead of wasting the limited arrows on the peasants, it would be better to stay when Cui Che was attacking the city and treat his subordinates more. Soldiers do damage.
