On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 516 Li Yuan married a daughter
The marriage between Li Yuan and Cui Che was done in an extremely secretive manner. At first only he, Liu Wenjing, Pei Ji, and Li Shimin knew about the whole matter.

Even Dou Shi and Li Xiuning only heard about it after the fact, so naturally there is no possibility of it being leaked.

Therefore, Gao Jiong and Yu Wenshu, who were in Daxing, were not able to hear the news in advance.

On May 608th in the third year of Zhenyuan (AD [-]), after sending Li Xiuning to Gaoling, Li Yuan falsely passed on the order of the governor of Kansai, Qi Wang Yang Hao, and summoned all the soldiers and generals of Fufeng County to Yong County.

It was inevitable that the news would be leaked, and when Gao Jiong learned about it, cold sweat broke out on his back.

It is self-evident what Li Yuan intends to do, how dare he pass on the king's decree falsely.

Gao Jiong quickly found Yu Wenshu and wanted to inform him about the matter, but Yu Wenshu also had news to inform Gao Jiong.

Yu Wenshu's expression was serious, he was the first to say:

"According to reports from Wugong County spies, General Qin Qiong under Cui Che's command is leading an army westward, heading towards Yong County."

Gao Jiong's face was gloomy and watery, and he said:
"News came from Yong County that Li Yuan, governor of Fufeng County, falsely passed on the king's decree and summoned the generals of the army in Yong County.

"It coincides with Qin Qiong's westward march, and the timing is so coincidental, he must have planned to betray the imperial court."

Yu Wenshu only felt his eyes go dark, and if it wasn't for the support behind him, he would almost fall to the ground.

He and Gao Jiong risked the discord of the world and gave up Weibei in the hope that they could drag down Cui Che's logistics. Who knew that Li Yuan was giving Cui Che an assist at this time.

Yu Wenshu was obviously panicked, he muttered to himself:

"If Cui Che is allowed to obtain the supplies from Renshou Palace, what can we do to defeat the enemy?"

Gao Jiong was speechless, even though they already knew that Li Yuan was going to rebel, they couldn't do anything about it.

Daxing is located in Weinan, while Fufeng County is located in Weibei, right under Cui Che's nose.

The reason why Gao Yu and Yu Wenshu gave up Weibei was to avoid a decisive battle with Cui Che in the wild. Now it is even more impossible to send troops to cross the Weihe River and go to Fufeng to disarm Li Yuan.

After all, Qin Qiong had already set off one step earlier, and the other party was even closer in terms of distance.

Just when Gao Jiong and Yu Wenshu were at a loss, Li Yuan, who was in the center of the vortex, also confirmed that Qin Qiong had sent troops, and immediately acted after approaching Yong County.

On the same day, he set up a Hongmen Banquet in the mansion.

Everyone toasted and exchanged cups, the atmosphere was joyous, when Li Yuan suddenly tossed his cup as a sign, all servants and personal guards of the family poured in, facing each other with sharp swords.

The sudden change also completely sobered up everyone present, and they said in horror:

"Tang Gong, what does Tang Gong intend to do!"

"Is there a misunderstanding here!"

For a while, the venue was noisy, begging for mercy, indignation, and cursing.

Li Yuan jumped over the guards and said loudly to everyone:
"The sudden collapse of the first emperor is very strange. Yang Guang pretended to kill his brother and mutilate his nephew, which is beyond the law of nature.

"King Cui Che of Yan, the late emperor's son-in-law, is now raising his troops to take revenge and punish the evildoers.

"In four years, Hebei, Hedong, Central Plains, Huaibei and other places have been collected successively.

"Li Jing, Lai Hu'er, Yu Zhongwen, Yang Yichen and others all conferred heads.

"Yang Su, Yu Wenshu and others fled.

"This fate is in the body, righteousness is in the Eastern Army!
"Yang Guang abandoned his country and fled, preferring to live in the south of the Yangtze River, and Gao Jiong and others were even more sinister, plundering the people in Weibei.

"Although Li has a relationship with Yang Guang, he can't bear to see him poisoning the common people. The only way to save the people is to obey the destiny, assist the king of Yan, and help the world.

"Those who are willing to agree with me, please be on the right, and those who are obsessed with obsession, you can be on the left."

As soon as the voice fell, a huge group of people ran to the right:

"This is exactly what we think in our hearts, why didn't Duke Tang say it earlier."

"Duke Tang and I said bluntly, why set up this ambush."

"Dare to ask Duke Tang, when will King Yan's army arrive?"

Seeing this scene, Li Yuan couldn't help laughing:

Good guy, it turns out that you have been looking forward to this day for a long time.

Most of Yang Guang's real cronies were taken to the south of the Yangtze River by him. Except for the left-behind ministers who were entrusted with important tasks such as Yu Wenshu and Gao Jiong, the rest were abandoned by Yang Guang in the north.

As the saying goes, if the king treats his ministers like dogs and horses, his ministers will treat him like a countryman;

At this time, I naturally have to think about myself, who will die for Yang Guang wholeheartedly.

I thought it was a Hongmen banquet, but the banquet was reopened until dawn, when Qin Qiong led the Eastern Sui army to appear outside Yong County.

Li Yuan took Liu Wenjing, the county magistrate of Yong County, and other civil and military officials out of the city to ask for surrender.

Counting the time, King Yan is now marrying his side concubine in Gaoling City, and this Tang Guogong is King Yan's Yue Weng, so Qin Qiong naturally dare not neglect him in the slightest.

Qin Qiong didn't enter the city, he came here just to prevent accidents from happening to Li Yuan.

After confirming that Yong County had changed flags and that Li Yuan was still in control of the entire city, Qin Qiong left immediately and led the troops to Renshou Palace. With the help of Renshou Palace Supervisor Pei Ji, he easily took control of this special summer palace.

After counting, excluding maids and eunuchs, there are 20 bolts of cloth and silk, [-] dendrobium of various grains, and some weapons and armor in Renshou Palace.

It seems that there are many materials, but they are far from the storage of Renshou Palace in its heyday.

Before Cui Che went west, Yang Guang had been migrating people and wealth to the south.

Although the road to Shu is difficult, within two years, half of the population in Kansai was relocated, leaving only 50 households.

Especially when Yang Jian was in power for 20 years, most of the huge wealth accumulated through exploitation was taken to the south by Yang Guang.

Fortunately, 20 dendrobium grains are enough to solve Cui Che's urgent needs.

After Qin Qiong took control of Renshou Palace, he immediately carried out the transportation work. He brought not only soldiers, but also a large number of civilian husbands during his trip.

Just as Qin Qiong was about to evacuate the Renshou Palace, a wedding in Gaoling County was already coming to an end.

The guests dispersed, taking away the hustle and bustle, leaving only the mess in the front yard.

Cui Che, who did not know how many times he was the groom, came to the wing.

The red happy characters are plastered all over the doors, windows, furniture, and even bedding.

Cui Che walked lightly to the couch, lifted the girl's red hijab, and clearly saw a face that he had dreamed about before, but compared to the owner of that face, he was much younger.

'Like, really too much like. '

Cui Che thought.

Looking at this strange yet familiar beautiful face, he was in a daze.

It wasn't until Li Xiuning coughed lightly that Cui Che came back to his senses.

He felt a little apologetic in his heart, and he also knew that it was a bit embarrassing for him to think of the other party's mother on the wedding night.

Cui Che held Li Xiuning's hand and said:

"There are a lot more guests tonight, and it's really overwhelming. I kept you waiting for a long time."

Cui Che's sudden closeness caught Li Xiuning a little off guard.

There was a little panic in her eyes, and she instinctively lowered her head to avoid Cui Che's fiery gaze.
