On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 526 Rescue Longyou
All along, Cui Che's attitude in terms of personal morality is very bad, which has attracted criticism from the world, saying that he lives a licentious life, but Cui Che doesn't care.

But he takes righteousness very seriously.

Now, Tuyuhun is using the pretense of restraining Xi Sui for Cui Che to harm the soldiers and civilians of Longyou, but Cui Che cannot tolerate it.

The common people were ignorant, if Cui Che ignored this, they might really think that Tuyuhun's invasion was following Cui Che's orders.

At that time, Cui Che was splashed with dirty water, even if he jumped into the Yellow River, he couldn't wash it off.

In the future, it will be extremely difficult to regain the hearts of Longyou.

Therefore, in Cui Che's view, the best solution is to send troops to rescue the people of Longyou.

This is the most powerful counterattack against Tuyuhun's lies.

In Xu Shiji's mouth, it seemed that once [-] elite riders arrived, Tuyuhun would be defeated. This is undoubtedly an exaggeration, just to encourage the generals.

In fact, there is still a lot of danger in dividing the troops to advance westward.

At the same time, the loss of military horses is also obvious from long-distance raids.

But which is more important, Cui Che can distinguish clearly, especially the [-] army horses that Cui Yanqing negotiated with the two tribes before when Cui Yanqing went to Kumoxi and Khitan, and Zhang Wu, who stayed behind in Youzhou, had already completed the deal with them.

The [-] military horses are used as strategic materials, and they have now been raised in official ranches, which must be able to make up for the loss of the Western Expedition.

This gave Cui Che the confidence not to fear the loss of military horses.

He decided to personally lead [-] elite riders to rescue Longyou.

When Cui Che made his decision, everyone spoke up one after another, hoping that he could sit in Daxing and send another general to lead the troops westward.

But Cui Che was unmoved and insisted on taking command in person.

Seeing that his determination has been made and cannot be shaken, the generals can only let it go.

Cui Che ordered on the spot that the Qianxiaojie Army and the Yinan Khitan went straight to Longshouyuan and joined the Boling cavalry.

At the same time, Dou Jiande, who had just arrived from the rear, was the commander of the northern camp, and Liu Heita was the deputy general. Together with Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin and others, they continued to besiege Daxing and bombarded the city.

The military order is like a mountain, unshakable, and all the generals acted according to the order.

While waiting for the Pre-Affiliation Army and Yinan Khitan to join, Cui Che seized the time to bid farewell to his family and let them go back to Gaoling County in Weibei to wait for news.

Li Xiuning hoped to follow Cui Che to send troops, and said:
"I have been riding a horse since I was a child, and I will never slow down my husband's marching speed and become a burden to my husband!"

After saying that, Li Xiuning didn't wait for Cui Che's reply, and immediately ordered someone to bring a horse, ran around the camp a few times in front of Cui Che, and made various difficult movements on the horse's back to show off her riding skills.

In this talent show, Li Xiuning tightened the reins while galloping, the horse raised its front hooves, stood upright, and let out a long neigh towards the sky.

'Hey hey. '

But Li Xiuning remained motionless, sitting firmly on the horse's back.

Even Cui Che admired her courage.

Li Xiuning got off her horse, ran up to Cui Che with small steps, and let out a melodious laugh like a silver bell:
"What does Your Majesty think, can this concubine join the army?"

Cui Che laughed loudly and said:

"The so-called women don't give way to men, it's just about loving concubines, no matter, during this Western Expedition, you will pretend to be a soldier and serve your left and right."

Li Xiuning was overjoyed. If Gao's mother and daughter were not present, she would not be allowed to be presumptuous, and she would have thrown herself into Cui Che's arms long ago.

Gao Shi was naturally envious of this, but unlike Li Xiuning, she did not know how to ride a horse. She knew that if she insisted on following, she would be a burden. If Cui Che took the carriage, she would definitely be slowed down.

Therefore, Gao could only bury this envy deep in her heart, and prepared to go back to tidy up the things and return to Gaoling, so as not to worry Cui Che.

Guanyin's maidservant is also a well-behaved girl, she didn't make noise to follow, but walked to Li Xiuning's side, and asked timidly:

"Auntie, can you teach me how to ride a horse in the future?"

She also hopes to be able to follow her father to various places, instead of staying behind and waiting for his news like now.

Because of the friendship between Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji, Li Xiuning gets along well with Gao's mother and daughter now.

Guanyin's maidservant didn't have the repulsion in her heart when she first met her.

But this matter is not up to Li Xiuning to decide, she glanced at Cui Che, apparently to ask for the other party's opinion.

Cui Che shook his head and said:
"Learning to ride a horse requires a lot of hard work. If you fall off the horse, it's fine. If you ride a horse for a long time, you will become bow-legged."

The maidservant Guanyin didn't believe it. She pointed at Li Xiuning, who had put on a strong outfit for riding a horse, and retorted:
"Auntie's legs are very beautiful, very long and straight, and grandpa is scaring me again."

As she said that, she pursed her mouth, sullenly.

Li Xiuning's legs are indeed beautiful, white and straight, and she is deeply loved by Cui Che.

Wait a few years older, I'm afraid it will be longer.

Fortunately, Li Xiuning testified for Cui Che, proving that after riding a horse for a long time, there is indeed a danger of becoming bow-legged, so she dispelled the idea of ​​Guanyin's maidservant, and stopped pestering her, insisting on learning how to ride a horse.

Actually, Cui Che knew very well why Guanyin's servant girl had to learn to ride a horse, but as a side concubine, Li Xiuning accompanied her on a horse, which could soothe her loneliness at night.

And what effect would Guanyin's servant girl follow, could she still be counted on to charge and kill.

The battlefield is dangerous, so Guanyin's servant girl should not go there.

Thirty thousand fine riders gathered one after another, each with five horses, full of energy, just waiting to follow Cui Che to the west and make contributions.

Li Shimin also asked Cui Che, hoping to join the army.

But Cui Che let Li Shimin stay behind considering his young age.

Including Xue Shou and Changsun Wuji, these cronies had other arrangements and were not able to accompany them.

Among them, Changsun Wuji was ordered to escort Gao and Guanyin's servants back to Gaoling, and stayed in Weibei to accompany their mother and daughter, and set off southward after Cui Che returned to his teacher.

This time, except for Su Dingfang, Shen Guang, Yuchi Jingde, Huang Junhan, Dahe Jinzhong, Li Hao and other cavalry generals who followed Cui Che, Cui Che only brought one staff officer with him, that is cavalryman Cao Canjun Xu Shiji.

Because Fang Xuanling stayed in Jinyang and presided over the government, while Wei Zheng was supervising the construction of the Shuozhou Palace and managing the attached Tie Le. As for Du Ruhui, he stayed in Xuzhou to assist Cui Qiji.

The resourceful people around Cui Che, such as his brother-in-law Xue Shou, are only about the same age as Xu Shiji.

It was the time when the newcomers were in their early years, and Xu Shiji also seized this golden opportunity.

First of all, there is a scheming to destroy the morale of the Kansai army and civilians with a piece of paper.

Later, when the generals were hesitant, he was the first to stand up and support Cui Che's division of troops. After some analysis, everyone was convinced.

Cui Che also valued Xu Shiji more, so this time he rescued Longyou, he was the only one with him, to check for leaks and make up for himself.

That night, Cui Che led his troops to the north, crossed the Wei River, headed west, and disappeared into the vast night.
