On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 519
After seeing off the two siblings, Cui Che naturally stayed in Gao's room that night.

Different from the petite Li Xiuning, Gao's body is like a ripe peach, which finally allows Cui Che to let go of her hands and feet and spend the whole night with her.

The next day, at dawn, the barracks outside the city were already lighting a fire for cooking.

Guanyin's maid also woke up early, she did not forget her agreement with Cui Che.

The two had agreed that as long as Cui Che rested in Gao's room the night before, he would have to be groomed by Guanyin's maid the next day.

After washing her hair, Guanyin's servant girl pressed Cui Che's acupuncture points with her small hands. This was specially asked for advice from the doctor when she was ill.

"Grandpa, is this strength comfortable?"

The Guanyin servant girl asked cautiously, lest she use the wrong force and make Cui Che feel uncomfortable.

Cui Che was immersed in it, when he heard the Guanyin servant girl asking, he smiled and said:
"The strength is just right, but you don't have to be so troublesome in the future, you can have this kind of filial piety, and I am very pleased as a father.

"But these things should be handed over to the maidservant, so as not to roughen her hands before she gets married in the future."

Avalokitesvara's maid refused, she retorted:
"It's just an occasional grooming for father, so how can it easily become rough.

"Furthermore, Grandmother also learned how princesses and concubines bathe with milk to nourish her daughter's skin and bathe her daughter with milk.

"Even grandma praised her daughter's smooth hands. If grandpa doesn't believe it, he can shake her daughter's hand."

Cui Che had held Guanyin's maid in the past, more than once.

But in this case, how could he touch it? He said helplessly:
"That's all, as long as you don't find it troublesome."

However, the Avalokitesvara servant girl was enjoying it, so how could she find it troublesome?

Avalokitesvara's maid carefully groomed and washed Cui Che's tiredness, his scalp felt cool, and he felt refreshed.

Temporarily leaving Gao's mother and daughter in Gaoling County, Cui Che rushed to the military camp outside the city with a group of followers, including Changsun Wuji, Xue Shou and others.

At this time, the soldiers were all ready to cross the river, and there was no need for Cui Che to mobilize before the battle. With one order, all the Nandu troops followed him to the point of crossing the river.

The water level of the Weihe River varies greatly from season to season, and spring and winter belong to the dry season. At the end of the Northern Wei Dynasty, He Bayue put down the Guanlong Rebellion and fought Yuchi Bodhisattva on both sides of the Wei River. He led [-] cavalry to lure the enemy by wading in shallow water and defeated Yuchi Bodhisattva. Twenty thousand steps to ride.

But Cui Che is now in the wet season of summer and autumn, and if the army wants to cross the river, they must pass the pontoon bridge.

As for Cui Che, who has been waiting in Gaoling until now, he has built three pontoon bridges on the Wei River, which is much easier than building pontoon bridges on the Yellow River and Yangtze River.

At the same time, Yang Hao, the governor of Kansai, had already fled Daxing City and retreated to Hanzhong. On the surface, he said that he would mobilize troops in Hanzhong to help Daxing.

But anyone with a discerning eye knows that Yang Hao will never come back unless Cui Che runs into a wall under Daxing City and retreats out of hatred.

This time, Gao Jiong and Yu Wenshu still did not deploy defenses along the river to prevent Cui Che from crossing the river.

The Wei River is not the Yellow River or the Yangtze River. Even in the wet season, the amount of water cannot be compared with those two big rivers. Setting up defenses along the river will not be able to stop Cui Che at all. This move will only hurt the morale of the defenders.

In the final analysis, there is still a world of difference in the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the two sides.

Of course, trust in the city defense of Daxing City was also one of the reasons why the two decided to stick to it.

Daxing City is presided over by Yu Wenkai, an outstanding contemporary architect. It is located on the southern slope of Longshouyuan. With the six high slopes on the southern slope as the main six lines, and with this as the core, it has built the largest city in the world today.

During the time of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, the permanent population of Daxing City reached 60, but with Yang Guang moving south, there are only about 25 people left in the city, including [-] defenders.

Although Yang Guang moved to the south, although a large number of people were taken away, Daxing City correspondingly weakened its political attributes, but also enhanced its military attributes.

Gao Jiong and Yu Wenshu had no intention of going out of the city to fight in waves from the very beginning.

Before Yang Guang left, he ordered to repair the city defense without hesitating to spend a lot of manpower, making up his mind to make Daxing the happy city of Cui Che.

Just like jade bi is to Gao Huan.

On May 608rd in the third year of Zhenyuan (AD 23), Cui Che left [-] cavalry on the north bank of the Weihe River, each with one man and one horse, to guard the cities.

The remaining 12 infantry, as well as 15 cavalry from Zhangqian Xiaojie Army, Yinan Khitan Zhi, and Boling Cavalry, a total of [-] troops passed the pontoon bridge and arrived at the south bank of the Weihe River.

It was getting late at this time, and Cui Che set up camp with his back to the river. He called Qin Qiong and said:

"Chang'an is dilapidated, and since Gaozu moved the capital, it is now in dire straits. According to detailed reports, Chang'an has been in disrepair for a long time, and it is not difficult to obtain.

"You have [-] soldiers alone, can you attack Chang'an for me tonight!"

The Chang'an mentioned by Cui Che is the old city of Chang'an in the Han Dynasty, and Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty is the current Daxing City.

Chang'an City is located on the north slope of Longshouyuan, directly facing Cui Che's army.

Qin Qiong said without hesitation:
"Why do you need [-] troops in an old city? Your Majesty promised me [-] soldiers. Tomorrow morning, I will make your chariot drive into Chang'an."

Qin Qiong knew Cui Che well, and with his temperament, he would never enter the city at night, otherwise he would have to pat his chest and promise that Cui Che could stay overnight in Chang'an.

Cui Che said seriously:
"The lion fights the rabbit with all its strength. Shubao must not take it lightly. If he says thirty thousand, that is thirty thousand. No one will compete with Shubao!"

Qin Qiong replied loudly:

"promise!"

Only then did Cui Che ease his expression, patted Qin Qiong on the shoulder, and said with a smile:
"Whether Gu can return to Chang'an depends on Shubao."

Qin Qiongdun felt that the heavy responsibility was on his shoulders, so he hurriedly resigned and went to gather the soldiers.

Cui Che gave him infantry, of course, siege is what infantry should do. Cui Che also knew that Yu Wenshu and others would not fight him in the wild, so he chose to use cavalry to stay in Weibei. Three elite cavalry soldiers came to the south.

It is even more impossible for him to dismount the cavalrymen of Zhangqianxiaojiejun, Yinsan Qidanzhi, and Boling to serve as infantry and go to attack the city.

Qin Qiong gathered [-] infantry soldiers and marched towards the north slope of Longshouyuan in the dark.

The Chang'an defenders had known the news of Cui Che's journey to the south for a long time, and they kept up their spirits all the time, not daring to slack off in the slightest, and discovered the enemy troops rushing towards Chang'an in time.

However, since manpower and material resources were used to repair the defense of Daxing City, and there was no spare force to guard Chang'an, Chang'an City could be abandoned in the eyes of Yu Wenshu and others.

Naturally, heavy troops will not be mobilized to guard Chang'an in order to dilute the number of Daxing defenders.

There are not many defenders in Chang'an City. Even if the Eastern Sui night attack was discovered in advance, it was still difficult to stop.

Thirty thousand Eastern Sui soldiers, carrying ladders, attacked the city in the dark.

Qin Qiong took the lead and was unstoppable. He hacked three steel knives abruptly, and finally gained a firm foothold on the city wall.

The war soldiers of the Eastern Sui Dynasty continued to rush up the city wall, and the old city of Chang'an in the Han Dynasty ushered in a new master.
