On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 517 Desire to die (Chapter 516 The wedding night is under review)
Even though they had been mentally prepared before, Gao Jiong and Yu Wenshu were filled with resentment when the incident actually happened.

At this time, the governor of Kansai, Qi Wang Yang Hao, who had been willing to be a toolman, finally found them after seeing the situation getting worse.

Yang Hao didn't hide it, and directly expressed his feelings to the two:

"Duke Qi, Duke Xu, now that the situation is at this point, Cui Ni is stationed in Weibei, and within a day, he can reach the city.

"Whether Daxing can stick to it, I ask you two to express it clearly.

"If Daxing is unstoppable, where to go, I ask the two of you to come up with an idea."

Gao Jiong immediately understood that Yang Hao was going to flee ahead of time, and now that the battle was imminent, as the governor of Kansai, how could he abandon the city?

"As the saying goes: 'A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall', let alone a prince.

"Also ask your majesty to retreat to Hanzhong. It is enough for the old man and Duke Qi to sit in the town for Daxing."

Yang Hao was overjoyed, and without waiting for Gao Jiong's objection, he immediately went back to collect his belongings and prepared to flee to Hanzhong to avoid the battle.

Gao Jiong was furious, and vented his anger on Yu Wenshu, asking:

"Could it be that Xu Gong didn't know that King Qi's departure would definitely hurt the morale of the defenders!"

Yu Wenshu hurriedly comforted him:

"Duke Qi calm down, now that the country is in a difficult situation, you should take care of your health."

As he spoke, he explained:
"I don't know Duke Qi's concern, but the crown prince passed away, who should inherit the crown prince?

"The saint has only two sons under his knees, King Qi is already strong, and the third son is still in his infancy.

"If King Qi is forced to stay, not to mention causing resentment from the King, once King Qi makes a mistake here, you and I will be the country's sinners, so why go to see the saint."

Gao Jiong was not relieved, and hummed:
"The old man never thought about going to the south of the Yangtze River, and living and dying with the city."

The last Qu Tutong who clamored to live and die with the city is now actively making suggestions for Cui Che.

But Gao Jiong is indeed determined to die, he would rather die than bow down to Cui Che.

This point, Yu Wenshu is also well aware, he sighed:

"Duke Qi may have forgotten that the king is the master, and you and I are just servants."

Gao Jiong was speechless, Yu Wen was right, they couldn't really control Yang Hao.

If Yang Hao insisted on leaving, no matter how much he objected, he would not be able to stop him.

Gao Jiong looked up to the sky and sighed deeply, with great sorrow in his heart, he asked:
"When will Mr. Xu leave?"

Since Yu Wenshu was worried about Wuyan going to see Yang Guang, he naturally didn't have the will to die.

Yu Wenshu subconsciously avoided Gao Jiong's gaze, and said:

"Your Majesty entrusted me with the Kansai military, no matter what, we should stick to it until the city is broken."

As he spoke, he persuaded Gao Jiong again:

"Nowadays, the country is in crisis, and it needs the assistance of capable ministers. Duke Qi assisted the late emperor and opened up the prosperous Sui Dynasty. His hard work and great achievements are well known to the world.

"I also ask Duke Qi not to be arrogant. When the city is broken, go south with me, continue to assist the saint, work hard, reorganize the army, and launch the northern expedition in the future to regain the lost land."

These words are sincere, and Gao Jiong also knows that these are all from Yu Wenshu's heart, he shook his head and said:

"This old man is dying in his twilight years. I'm afraid he won't be able to go to the south of the Yangtze River. He should die as a martyr to let the world know that there are still people who will not succumb to Cui Ni's butcher's knife in this Great Sui Dynasty."

Gao Jiong is now 68 years old and has been in poor health, otherwise Yu Wenshu would not have rushed to appease him when he questioned him just now, for fear that something bad will happen to him.

At the same time, Cui Che, who was far away in Gaoling, immediately dispatched his most elite troops, the Yinan Qidanzhi, and Boling cavalry, a total of [-] cavalry, to go westward to meet Qin Qiong's supplies from Renshou Palace. .

Renshou Palace and Gaoling County are more than [-] miles away by road, so messengers can travel quickly and quickly, and they can arrive there in one day and one night, but it takes a lot of time to transport materials.

Fortunately, Cui Che was not in a hurry. At this time, specific news about Xuzhou and Luoyang had already come from Kanto.

Cui Qiji, the general manager of Xuzhou, led 20 elite infantry, more than [-] soldiers from Qingzhou, Xuzhou and other prefectures, and nearly [-] troops were deployed on the north bank of the Huaihe River.

The soldiers of the Western Sui Dynasty on the south bank did not dare to cross the north easily, so they stood in a stalemate on both sides of the Huaihe River with him. There were occasional small-scale conflicts between the two sides, but no major war broke out.

And Li Jing, the governor of Luozhou, lived up to Cui Che's expectations. He led the troops of the states in the Central Plains and moved them to the Nanyang Basin. Shangzhou District, Shangluo City).

Now a document is being sent, asking Cui Che whether he wants to rename Shangluo County to Shangzhou, and asking Cui Che to send officials to take up the post.

Naturally, the name had to be changed. As for the candidate for the governor of Shangzhou, Cui Che did not hesitate too much. He chose to conspire with Li Yuan and Pei Ji and seek refuge with Liu Wenjing, the magistrate of Yong County.

He also sent envoys to Yong County to call Liu Wenjing urgently.

The reason why Liu Wenjing was chosen, rather than Pei Ji, who dedicated the Renshou Palace to himself and made great contributions, was only because Liu Wenjing was skilled in both military and political affairs, and his talent was far superior to Pei Ji.

In comparison, Pei Ji is nothing more than a mediocre talent.

Shangzhou is located at the front line, and non-capable people are not allowed to be appointed. Putting Pei Ji up there will definitely cause trouble. Thinking about it carefully, Liu Wenjing is more suitable for this position.

When Cui Che summoned Liu Wenjing, he did not forget to send someone to Renshou Palace to appease Pei Ji, and told him to take care of Renshou Palace for him, and to be a good supervisor of Renshou Palace, he would be promoted after the war.

Of course, a piece of news from Changchun Palace also made Cui Che very happy. The Gao family sent someone to inform that Guanyin's servant girl had recovered, and hoped that she could come to Gaoling to serve Cui Che.

Naturally, Cui Che would not refuse, and he also promised to let the Avalokitesvara maidservant pay homage to Changsun Sheng's tomb outside Daxing City.

At the same time, Cui Che also missed Gao Shi in his heart.

Li Xiuning's body is weak, and she can't bear the favor for a long time, which makes Cui Che unable to enjoy herself to the fullest.

Don't look at her building an army of 14 soldiers in the troubled times of the late Sui Dynasty in the original time and space, and laying down a huge territory for Li Yuan in Guanzhong before Li Yuan entered the pass, but now she is only a [-]-year-old girl.

After the initial passion, Li Xiuning was a little depressed these few days. Cui Che was curious and asked why, only to find out that he was worried about his eldest brother Li Jiancheng who was far away in the south of the Yangtze River.

In this regard, Cui Che was also helpless.

With Yang Guang's personality, Li Jiancheng would be beheaded as soon as news of Li Yuan's rebellion spread to Jiangnan to vent his anger.

There was no time for Cui Che to arrange for someone to go to the rescue.

Cui Che comforted:
"Everyone has his own destiny. If your elder brother really suffers from misfortune, I will definitely avenge him."

Li Xiuning was very relieved when he heard this.

Of course she knew that it was Cui Che's fault, it was because her father Li Yuan didn't arrange it in advance.

In fact, Li Yuan also acted hastily, so how could he care about Li Jiancheng who was far away in Jiangdu.

　Rest first, wait for the review results tomorrow morning, and then modify
