On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 524 The Power of the Masses
Cui Che besieged Daxing on three sides, and ordered General Qin Qiong to be the commander of the camp in the east, with [-] infantry in command, and [-] cavalry soldiers in front of the account, and set up camp in the east of Daxing City.

General Cheng Yaojin was also the commander of the camp in the south, with [-] infantry in charge, and [-] cavalry soldiers from Yinan Khitan, who went to the south of Daxing City.

And he himself took command, set up the northern camp on the Jiuyi Highland, led [-] infantry, and [-] Boling cavalry to guard the trebuchets on the high ground.

Now that Cui Che has decided to step up his efforts, he will strike hard at Daxing City.

Since bundles of paper and boulders have different weight units, the bundles of paper thrown from Jiuyi Heights can cover the whole city, but the boulders can only bombard the Daxing Palace in the north.

Obviously, this did not satisfy Cui Che, who decided to punch hard. He believed that it was necessary to enhance the soldiers and civilians in the south and east of the city to perceive the cruelty of war.

The next day, not only the catapults erected on Jiuyi Heights resumed the boulder bombardment.

Cui Che even ordered to mobilize civilians to build up earth hills on the east and south sides of the city.

However, the location of the earth mountain is still outside the limit range of the catapult attack in the city. It only needs to pile up the earth mountain high enough to kill the defenders in the city without damage.

Cui Che ordered Qin Qiong, the chief of the east camp, and Cheng Yaojin, the chief of the south camp, to send troops to guard them. He divided the 15 troops into three groups, each with [-] cavalry, equal to the defenders in the city.

Although I don't believe that Gao Jiong and Yu Wenshu dared to go out of the city to fight, but some caution is essential.

Even if the opponents came out in full force, no matter which side the [-] defenders attacked, they would not be the opponents of the same number of Eastern Sui soldiers.

At the same time, Li Xiuning and Li Shimin's siblings finally returned to Yong County under the escort of a team of personal guards sent by Cui Che.

Seeing her daughter's hair tied with a multicolored ribbon, Mrs. Dou couldn't help feeling a lot of emotion, which symbolized that she was married.

The two brothers and sisters saluted as soon as they entered the door:
"A daughter (baby) visits her father and mother."

Li Yuan smiled and said:
"Xiuning get up quickly, Erlang get up quickly."

The two brothers and sisters stood up, and Li Yuan couldn't wait to ask about what happened to them in Gaoling County.

When he learned that Li Xiuning was favored by Cui Che, and that Li Shimin was often kept by his side because of Cui Che's love for the house and Wu, he was taught by Cui Che's precepts and deeds together with his eldest grandson Wuji and others.

The smile on Li Yuan's face was even wider. Seeing that his daughter and son-in-law were in such a good relationship, he finally let go of his worries about Cui Che robbing his wife.

The husband and wife dragged Li Xiuning back to the door and Li Shimin who was with him and talked for a long time, but everyone had a tacit understanding and never mentioned Li Jiancheng.

According to Yang Guang's habits, Li Jiancheng would definitely die, and everyone would only grieve behind their backs, instead of uncovering this layer of scars in front of everyone.

Li Shimin was also sad for what Li Jiancheng was about to encounter.

There is no throne in the family to fight for, they are the best brothers.

The possibility of Li Jiancheng's death made Li Shimin cherish the family relationship between brothers even more. After returning home, he spent a lot of time with his third brother Li Xuanba, fourth brother Li Yuanji, and fifth brother Li Zhiyun.

Li Xuanba and Li Yuanji are both Li Shimin's brothers from the same mother. Li Xuanba and Li Shimin were born one year later at the age of nine. He is the prototype of Li Yuanba in the novel Romance.

But this child is very weak, and has no similarity with the image in the novel.

As for Li Yuanji, he was the same age as Li Zhiyun who was born as a concubine.

Both of these are hard-working people.

Li Yuan's wife, Dou Shi, is intelligent, but she is quite similar to Gao Huan's wife, Lou Zhaojun:

They are all standard beauty parties.

After Li Yuanji was born, Dou was unwilling to raise him because of his ugly appearance, so he ordered his family to abandon him.

It was the maid Chen Shanyi who secretly carried Li Yuanji back, so that he did not die in infancy. After that, Chen Shanyi, as a nurse, single-handedly raised Li Yuanji.

It's a pity that in the original time and space, Chen Shanyi's kind deeds were not rewarded. She should stop the adult Li Yuanji from doing anything wrong, but was killed by the angry Li Yuanji.

As for Li Zhiyun, he didn't end well either. In the original time and space, Li Yuan went to Jinyang to take a post, and only took Li Shimin away, leaving Li Jiancheng to take care of his family in Hedong County.

After Li Yuan raised his troops, Li Jiancheng only took away Li Yuanji and deliberately left Li Zhiyun behind, causing Li Zhiyun to be arrested by officials and sent to Daxing for execution.

Li Shimin only lived in Yong County for a few days, because Li Xiuning missed her husband, and Li Shimin was sent by his father Li Yuan to escort his sister back to Cui Che.

When Li Xiuning and Li Shimin were escorted to Jiuyi Heights, huge boulders from the north bombarded Daxing Palace City day and night, smashing several holes in the double eaves roof of the main hall Daxing Hall.

Even Yang Jian's Taimiao suffered disaster and was smashed into ruins by Cui Che.

If Cui Che was really a loyal minister of the Sui Dynasty, he would have to die as an apology. After all, he offended Emperor Gaozu, and the crime was not small.

It's just that Cui Che didn't take this matter to heart at all. At worst, he would build a temple for Yang Jian after the war, and there was no need to put it on the line.

As for the east and south sides, they were busy with civil engineering work. Not only the [-] civilians who accompanied the army, but Cui Che also summoned a large number of young men from Weibei to go south to provide relief with work, conscripting them to transport soil and move boulders.

The Weibei people who were conscripted were also enthusiastic. They hated Gao Jiong and Yu Wenshu who guarded Daxing.

These two not only looted all the food from the people in Weibei, but they didn't even leave the seedlings in the fields.

It was Cui Che who arrived in time, disregarding the logistical pressure, and provided food for them to survive. Even though Dong Sui represented the interests of the Guandong Group, the people in Weibei did not hesitate to support Cui Che.

What's more, if they stay in Weibei, they can only continue their lives with gruel, but if they are recruited by Cui Che to move soil and stones, and they have to work hard, Cui Che will naturally feed the peasants.

Many civilian husbands are limited by the times, thinking that they are worthless, and the poor have a lot of energy. They do not reject Cui Che's efforts in the slightest.

After all, in today's Kansai, being able to have a full stomach is the greatest happiness.

What's more, the earth mountain was not within the attack range of the trebuchets in the city, and was protected by soldiers from the Eastern Sui Dynasty, so no life was in danger. Naturally, some people were willing to serve Cui Che willingly.

On the Jiuyi Highland, Cui Che bent down and looked at the countless peasants in the distance, like a black colony of ants, tirelessly transporting soil and stones, feeling filled with emotion.

He turned around and said to Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji, Xue Shou and other young followers:

"If I can capture Daxing in the future, it will be due to the common people.

"It was they who pushed it with a cart and carried it on their shoulders, which brought me this victory."
