On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 525 The Proposal of Dividing Troops
Not everyone agrees with Cui Che's point of view. They despise Li Shu's power and scoff at it, but they dare not refute Cui Che face to face.

But there are also people who resonate strongly, such as Li Shimin, who said with emotion:

"Mencius said: 'Those who attain the Dao will be helped more, those who have lost the Dao will be helped less. If there is little help, relatives will be with them. If there is a lot of help, the world will follow it.'

"Gao Jiong and Yu Wenshu tortured the common people and deprived them of food, so the common people resented them.

"Your Majesty set up a porridge field to save all the people from fire and water. Compared with the two, how dare the people in Weibei not try their best to repay the King's kindness."

Li Shimin, who was only ten years old, had such insights, which attracted the attention of the people present.

Cui Che nodded approvingly and said:

"What Ah Feng said was exactly what I was thinking about alone. The old saying goes: 'A king is a boat; a common man is water; water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it.'

"Grievances are not great, but people are to be feared; when a boat is overturned, it is advisable to be cautious.

"This remark is to be shared with all the gentlemen alone."

Regardless of whether he really agrees with Cui Che's point of view in his heart, all his followers who follow him from afar are all bent down and taught.

At the same time, some people took Cui Che's warning as a deaf ear and didn't take it to heart.

Murong Fuyun, Khan of Tuyuhun, heard that Cui Che threatened him to retreat and at the same time refused the request of marriage, he only felt that he was underestimated.

As the saying goes, the master humiliated his ministers to death, and his ministers were also furious.

Among them, Tianzhu King, one of the kings under his command, said angrily:
"The hearts of the people are not enough, Cui Che has stopped at Daxing City, and before he can take all of Guanzhong, he has already regarded Longyou as his private property and does not allow others to get involved.

"He is like a glutton, with insatiable desires.

"Now Khan kindly sends troops to help him, but Cui Che's words are very offensive.

"If Cui Che is really allowed to occupy Guanlong and be his neighbor, wouldn't he be ordered by him to be like a slave!"

King Tianzhu's words attracted many people to speak up, asking Murong Fuyun to continue to besiege Tianshui County (governing Shangyu County, today's Tianshui, Gansu).

All of them spoke righteously, but as far as their heart was concerned, preventing Murong Fuyun from withdrawing his troops was even more reluctance to abandon the people and animals in Longyou.

After finally going east and invading the Sui territory, Longyou coincided with the emptiness, and who would want to leave if he didn't grab a pot of money.

The ministers under his command were unwilling to leave, and Murong Fuyun did not want to leave either.

He is an ambitious person, otherwise, it would be Murong Fuyun's elder brother Murong Shifu who is sitting on the sweat seat now.

After launching a rebellion and ascending the Khan throne by force, Murong Fuyun often spied on the Sui Dynasty and inquired about Guan Long's information, which aroused great dissatisfaction among Yang Jian. Abhorred.

Murong Fuyun waited for this day for a long time.

The ministers may just want to grab a fortune and leave, but Murong Fuyun is eager to occupy Longyou.

If Cui Che's westward expedition this time, under Daxing City, he lost both sides in the battle with Gao Jiong, Yu Wenshu and others, he might not be able to take advantage of the situation and go eastward, waiting for the opportunity to move.

Now that Tianshui County City is crumbling, Murong Fuyun would be willing to let him retreat at this time.

Moreover, even though Cui Che shouted that there should be no surprises, Murong Fuyun believed that he had no ability to interfere with Longyou before capturing Guanzhong, so he didn't take Cui Che's threat to heart.

With the support of the officials, Murong Fuyun was even more confident, and he summoned the envoys of the Eastern Sui Dynasty who came with him.

"I want to marry Qin and Jin with King Yan, so I resolutely go east to restrain the army of Longyou, so that King Yan can take Guanzhong calmly.

"The heart of the fist, the deep affection, the world can learn from it, and the sun and the moon are the witnesses.

"The king of Yan could not tell the difference between loyalty and traitor, and his words of reprimand were like sharp knives, piercing one's heart.

"I also ask your envoy to report to the King of Yan that Tuyuhun is not a subject of the King of Yan, and there is no distinction between superiority and inferiority, and he only wishes to form an alliance of brothers.

"If the King of Yan insists on asking the crime, although Tuyuhun is not as powerful as the Sui Dynasty, it is still a country of thousands of miles and cannot be bullied.

"If the King of Yan is willing to restore the old relationship, and please send his daughter to marry far away, Tuyuhun and the King of Yan will form a contract to form a family, and the people of the two countries will be very lucky.

"Otherwise, life will be ruined, and King Yan's plan will be missed!"

Murong Fuyun not only rejected Cui Che's request to let him retreat, but even brought up the marriage proposal again.

The envoys of the Eastern Sui Dynasty had a mission and returned in defeat.

From Tianshui to Daxing, during the journey of more than [-] li, he rushed back to Cui Che's side in only four days.

Now all parts of Guanlong are shrinking their troops, allowing the envoys to gallop all the way.

When Cui Che heard the news, he was furious, especially when he heard that Tuyuhun was burning, killing and looting in Longyou, committing all kinds of crimes, so he couldn't just sit idly by.

He immediately summoned all the generals to discuss matters, and said in a deep voice:

"Tuyuhun invaded Longyou and killed our Huaxia people. He tried to persuade him with lonely words, but was ignored by Murong Fuyun.

"Is it tolerable or unbearable! What do you guys think if you want to divide your troops and attack them!"

However, unlike in the past, this time the generals did not respond immediately.

In their view, the mounds on the east and south sides were getting higher and higher, and in a few days, they would be able to far exceed the height of the city wall, and they could set up catapults to bombard Daxing from three sides together with the highlands in the north.

When Daxing is captured, all parts of Guanzhong can spread the message. At that time, it is not too late to expel Tuyuhun after sending troops to Longyou.

Now that the troops are divided, the distance between the two places is more than [-] miles, and the area along the way is controlled by the Western Sui Dynasty. It is difficult to guarantee the logistics. This is a great risk.

Once the battle fails, it will inevitably affect Daxing's offensive and defensive battles.

Therefore, many generals thought that Cui Che was dazzled by anger.

It is a taboo for military strategists to provoke a teacher in anger, and to fight in anger. This is a truth that even Guanyin's maid understands. How could these generals who followed Cui Che in the Southern and Northern Wars not know.

Just when everyone was hesitating, Xu Shiji, who was qualified to attend the audience, came out to agree with Cui Che's opinion.

All the generals glared at him one after another, thinking that the boy was just flattering him.

However, Xu Shiji calmly analyzed:

"The people of Longyou are in dire straits, looking forward to the master Wang, like looking forward to the rain after a long drought.

"However, Gao Jiong and Yu Wenshu turned a blind eye and allowed them to be tortured by Tuyuhun, and the people were disappointed.

"Murong Fuyun's disrespectful words are nothing more than thinking that the king cannot interfere with the situation in Longyou.

"If Your Majesty sends [-] elite cavalry to attack long distances, half a month's worth of food will be sufficient.

"Unexpectedly, the Tuyuhun people are absolutely defenseless and will surely win a big victory.

"And the great king relieved the people to hang upside down, and the hearts of the people in Longyou fell into the king's trap.

"As for the Daxing garrison, they have lost all courage. With more than [-] infantry besieging them, Gao Jiong and Yu Wenshu must not dare to leave the city to fight in waves!"

After Xu Shiji's analysis, the generals suddenly realized that they no longer opposed the division of troops, and asked Cui Che to fight.

Cui Che was even more overjoyed, what Xu Shiji said was the main reason why he insisted on dividing his troops to rescue Longyou.
